"Ow.. Y-Yeah.. Something is veeery wrong. Probably way in over our heads here..." Kaori said as she struggled awake and rolled away from certain death. The floor where she was lying earlier was torn open in one stroke of the strange soldier and his nodachi. Bastard nearly took one of the cage bars off! The demon Samurai pulled the sword out of the floor and swung it into Kaori, who rolled underneath the blade with a lightning quick reaction, thrusting her katana through the man's gut as she came up straight again.

"And that's a wrap..." Kaori grinned fiercely, sliding the blade out of her opponent and sighing heavily. Three to go.

"AGH!" Suddenly, pain shot through her back as she turned to go and help Yomi. That persistent son of a bitch [I]refused[/I] to die! Fortunately it was only a wakizashi, so the damage was somewhat limited with the shorter blade. She pulled herself off the shortsword and drove her katana into the Samurai's mask, collapsing to the floor with him. He didn't breathe, he was finished. Kaori on the other hand was barely conscious. All she could hear was one of the enemy slowly approaching, unsheathing a weapon.

She only found herself able to think about one thing as death's boots trampled against the floor, ...well, it was one person. If she died here, she wouldn't be able to spend any more time with him. Her only real friend, despite their rivalry. That guy she pulled off the street, giving herself some kind of purpose. As much as she fought against her body's will, she felt herself slipping further into darkness. "...Yomi..."
