[centre][color=deb887][h2][u]Koma Hitsugi[/u][/h2][/color][/centre] [@ZeroXposure] Sebun's Clone Steadily the amount of weapons being flung Koma's way grew, allowing her to find out that the attacker's attention was fully on her now. It was for the best really, this way she could keep him moving in a way she'd like him to and focused on what she was doing, though with the sheer volume of them and some of his strategic firing, she found herself surrounded and essentially cornered. But at least he'd given her plenty of methods to fight back against him, the array of swords strewn around her meant she could find something that she figured could be used by a novice at the very least. And as soon as she found one she used her free hand to grab it by the handle and heft it up infront of her, taking as guarded a stance as she could... She really did need to learn how to fight up close, it's steadily become the main situation she's found herself in. [hr] [centre][color=92278f][h2][u]Yui Matou[/u][/h2][/color][/centre] [@LadyinInk] Kiku [@Eis] Nadia [@Altered Tundra] Jaakuna [@BladeX] Kaba [@Grey Sama] Ryoko [i][color=red][b]"What do you want?!"[/b][/color][/i] Four words that got right to the point, exactly what Yui was hoping for in the face of the hostage crisis she laid out before the Konoha-nin, though she was clearly observant of the actions of the others whilst Kaba took the initiative. Before she began to respond a tremor rolled through the ground from the fight between the Raikage and the General, which in turn caused her to wear a slightly sour expression before she returned to her previous smile. [color=92278f]"I love how straight forward you are, young man, you'll certainly be useful if this is what you're always like. I'm Yui Matou, you don't need to introduce yourselves, it'd be a hassle if you got too familiar with the enemy, right? They'd think you're compromised or something no doubt, maybe even kick you out for being so buddy buddy with me."[/color] Yui chimed, seemingly pausing as she sniffed at the air, someone's chakra smelt quite exotic, spicy even. She couldn't tell which of them it was due to the team being clustered together, but it seemed her interest had piqued further. [color=92278f]"I'll start with this, I'm not looking for a fight, I'm just a supporting character in this battle over Kumogakure. You may or may not know how the Yomigaeri works, but today we're a two-man cell and whilst my counterpart is fighting the Raikage, they've got some bad blood between them you see... I have to tend you to five. Personally I'd prefer to be in Suna right now, but this is what Seijuro-senpai told me to do."[/color] Yui gracefully rose to her feet, not a single hostile action in her movements, nor one in her demeanour as she stood before them like some kind of statue. [color=92278f]"The worst thing about today is civilian casualties, I absolutely loathe them. So I need you five to go ensure that no one else dies because of a disagreement between two scorned men, because I can't actively work against my own companion, that wouldn't be decent of me in the slightest to be so traitorous. Which is where you lot come in, if you know what to look for you'll be able to find and dispatch the gallery fakes easily, they'll explode otherwise and Kumogakure will be short several more innocent lives."[/color] Yui acted as if their decision had already been made for them, already moving onto the important information they needed to help with the situation at hand. [color=92278f]"The fakes will look like ordinary people, but they'll have an eye mark with a little teardrop mark underneath it, they should be weak enough that you wont need to even try to defeat them. Admittedly I don't know what'll happen to them when you beat them, they might still explode or they might disappear into nothing. I haven't tested the idea. Maybe you'll be able to cut the seal off of them?"[/color] Whilst she spoke, the woman seemed to be using the equipment in the cafe to prepare herself a cup of coffee, and once it was done, she returned to her seat and looked to the shinobi again. [color=92278f]"As your little Uchiha there said, [b][i]"One mistake is all it takes to get someone killed, We cannot just stand here and do nothing."[/i][/b] So, will you leave me to my own devices in this cafe whilst you thwart my companion's plan to hold the entirety of Kumo at ransom, or will you try to save these fifteen people whom as of yet haven't been harmed aside from a few possible bruises and make me punish you all by making the mistake of putting your pride over the lives of Kumogakure's civilian population?" "The choice is all yours, but I think the many have priority over the few. These people won't be harmed unless you force my hand."[/color] Yui finished her statement with a sip of the coffee she'd poured, it tasted horrible, nothing like the coffee she'd had mere minutes ago. But she would hide her distaste for the time being, if only to save face. At least she'd zoned her senses in on the spicy-scented one, she knew the natures of all five of them now, but the boy in red, his fire-natured scent had that interesting spice to it and it wasn't the lightning nature he had as well. She'd have to get him to herself if she had the chance.
