Finally getting away from the two weirdos, Yoko let out a sigh... that was definitely odd. Not that it was any of Yoko's concern, maybe she was going to wait until the tournament was over before she gave that robotic nuisance a piece of her mind. And maybe a stick swiftly up his exhaust port, too. They found a nice quiet corner... that was full of all the other brooding Nomads who had the same idea. Well, they weren't talking, so Yoko thought that was private enough for her! Yoko turned around and firmly planted her staff onto the ground.

[quote=Selena Phoenix][color=c2c1ea]"What was [i]that[/i] all about? Why was that man holding you by a stick?"[/color][/quote]

[color=gold]"Oi! That idiot bumped into me while I was walking up the stairs to get here and I was [i]trying[/i] to get his attention by tapping him a few times..."[/color] Yoko trailed off before she grabbed her staff and strongly tapped it onto the ground, as she proudly said, [color=gold]"... And this is no [i]'stick',[/i] this is one of the Hatanaka family's weapons that they used to protect Japan."[/color]

Then she placed a hand on her hip as she said,

[color=gold]"... The weapon, [i]I'm[/i] going to use to protect Japan."[/color]

[color=c2c1ea]”...I see… So what are you doing in Brazil if you intend to protect Japan?”[/color] She would’ve asked who the flying fuck the Hatanaka family was, but she didn’t give that many flying fucks.

[color=gold]"I’m here looking for a ninja… an [i]American[/i] that has my family’s sword… the legendary Murakumo.[/color] Yoko proudly answered. [color=gold]"Jaden Raldo… calls himself a [i]rapper[/i].[/color] Yoko damn near gagged.

Selena thinks for a moment. [color=c2c1ea]”Is he from Gold City? I may have heard of him before.”[/color]

[color=gold]"I have no idea, but I know he’s [i]here[/i]."[/color]

[color=c2c1ea]”Well, why did he steal your sword, then? What, did you steal his magic stick or something?”[/color]

[color=gold]”He didn’t steal it from my family…”[/color] Yoko trailed off, [color=gold]"When I was a baby, my family’s compound was raided and my father, Hatanaka Kenji… was defeated and killed by a group of mercenaries and the sword was stolen from him by a man named Jotaro. And [i]that[/i] idiot stole it from him.”[/color]

[color=c2c1ea]”So… He doesn’t fully understand the importance of this sword,”[/color] Selena assumed. [color=c2c1ea]”Does he use this sword to fight with, like a proper Nomad? Or does it simply collect dust?”[/color]

[color=gold]”... He better not be touching my sword,[/color] Yoko sharply hissed, [color=gold]”It’s my family’s treasure, but there’s a powerful Oni’s soul sealed inside of it… look, if you’re not of Hatanaka or Royal Oni blood, the Oni inside it will possess you.”[/color]

Selena blinked. [color=c2c1ea]”...Possession. [i]That[/i] I understand, as a sorcerer myself. Though, if this Jaden Raldo is neither of those, do you believe he’s already possessed?”[/color]

[color=gold]”Of course not,[/color] Yoko replied, [color=gold]”From the ancient texts my ancestors left behind, the possessed would go on a rampage and kill as many humans as possible… The only things that he killed so far are probably the people he made listen to his music! Ha!”[/color]

[color=c2c1ea]”…Right. Then is there some sort of trigger to the possession? A condition that has to be met first? How has he not been possessed yet if he’s wielding this sword?”[/color]

[color=gold]”Oi, you gotta hold the sword for a bit for it to possess you… enough time to say, cut someone with it and put it away.[/color]

[color=c2c1ea]”That’s awfully specific. So I assume he knows about the curse but chooses to use the sword regardless. Why?”[/color]

[color=gold]”He’s an [i]American[/i], he probably doesn’t [i]even[/i] care about the danger he is putting himself and other people in.”[/color]

[color=c2c1ea]”You’d be surprised how often people in America worry about themselves… Though, he does sound reckless. What would happen if the Oni possessed him? What would the Oni do with a body?”[/color]

Yoko placed her staff over her shoulders, holding it with both hands as she said, [color=gold]”Beats me, probably continue his….”[/color] She then raised her fist and dramatically spoke, [color=gold][i]”Crusade against mankind![/i][/color] Then she laughed.

Her eyes narrowed at Yoko. [color=c2c1ea]”You don’t sound particularly afraid of this Oni. But that [i]does[/i] sound rather dangerous. How do you intend to take the sword away from him?”[/color]

Yoko grabbed her staff with both hands and primed it as if she were a cop ready to bash down someone’s door as she proudly announced,

[color=gold]”... I’m going to ram this up his ass, then take the sword from him! Easy!”[/color]

Selena looked at this bitch like she was out of her damn kind. [color=c2c1ea]”…How very convincing. I’m quaking in my boots. And if that doesn’t work?”[/color]

[color=gold]”... I’m going to do it again!”[/color]

…Wow.

Selena doubted this woman could actually take anyone in a fight. Was she serious? Or was she simply downplaying her own abilities? That was the more likely option, Selena would be doing that herself if it was prevalent.

[color=c2c1ea]”You have a talent for keeping your plans simple.”[/color]

Firmly laying one end of her staff on the ground, Yoko raised a finger as she said, [color=gold]“Oi! And you have one for asking a lot of questions!” [/color]

[h1]”.... ARRRE YOU READY FIIIIIIGHTERS? THE NEXT ROUND BEGINS NOW!”[/h1]

The Announcer shouted. 

[color=gold]“Oi! It seems like it’s time for me to go… keep an eye out for the ninja for me!”[/color] Yoko spoke to Selena.

[color=c2c1ea]”I’ll… Try to do that. Good luck with that.”[/color]

Yoko turned to walk away, but then she gave Selena one final glance as she said, [color=gold]”Oi! It was great meeting you…”[/color]

Then she smiled as she added on,

[color=gold]”... [i]Friend.[/i]”[/color]
