[i]"Sheesh! I guess that I'm really becoming the villain, huh?"[/i]

[color=8882be]"When I was alive, I was a member of an organization called the Sanada Ten Braves."[/color] Assassin retorted. Clearly he had a bit of a story he was dying to tell. [color=8882be]"We all served under the lord Sanada Yukimura. Each of the ten were ninja, and each of us had a record of deaths that reached far back. But our lord Sanada is remembered fondly as the last hero of the Sengoku Era. An unrivaled man who was beloved by all in his time, and in all times going forward. If you are worried that working alongside an assassin, or using blackmail has turned you into a villain, than you are wrong. You are merely a hero who pushes the line."[/color]

That probably wasn't as comforting as he thought it might be, but it was the thought that mattered. The methods used may seem underhanded, but since she wasn't burning down buildings that meant she was a hero. Though, only Nobunaga really did that... And he was still seen as a hero of somekind... So maybe Japan just liked monstrous heroes? 

Either way, assassin didn't mind it. Maybe that just fit him. Though he didn't mind being a hero either. Maybe he just liked being remembered? 

He appeared by his master's side in a moment, hands folded over his chest, and still no smile on his lips. He just didn't smile it seemed. Not that she should mind, some people are just like that. [color=8882be]"To be honest, Master, I was not worried about the dogs. I have already used my own ninjutsu to cover any flaws in my sneaking that they would be able to pick up."[/color] He tugged briefly on his scarf, showing several talismans he had made earlier in the day. Each marked to nullify a certain sound. The sound of his breathing, the sound of his footsteps, and the sound of his heartbeat. After all, what assassin wouldn't have taken care of such things? That, and he had worked to nullify his own scent, as that it mixed in with that of the city. [color=8882be]"As this is japan, my magical foundation is at its height. Though if you wish, I will submit to your runes."[/color]

[color=8882be]"As for Bird-boy, his name is Daisuke. If you hope to form an alliance, I feel it would be best to use his real name, rather than mock him. He no doubt has a powerful servant, and if he decides there is more value in attacking you rather than retrieving his book, I will be at a disadvantage in a public place."[/color] It was a warning. Don't get cocky. Don't be rude. If they wanted that boy and his servant to be their allies, albeit a forced alliance, they shouldn't be pushing him. Assassin knew that as soon as he stole that book of familiars. This was dangerous.
Personally, if he was going to blackmail somebody, he'd never meet them in public. He'd do it by letters and a dropbox. Much safer to never get close to others. 

"Well, if we're all set, I'm going to find a vantage point." Assassin said. He had left a familiar by the Petshop, and was more than aware that their query had just left the comfort of his home. Before he left though, he handed his master a Talisman. [color=8882be]"This is for you. It will substitute your position with that of another object nearby as soon as you are attacked. Normally I'd prefer to not rely on something like this... But for your safety, it is our best bet."[/color]

With nearly a day in advance to plan this, Assassin had no doubt prep'd the area to be as useful as possible for his desires. The nearby pottery in particular held a nasty surprise for when things went south.

So... He waited.
