Ageha smiled devilishly as the rat finally charged at her. Good, it worked. Though, she wasn't very pleased by the Princess' actions afterwards. She was trying to help, not let her take on the bigger, debatably angier beast. Though she didn't have much time to dwell on the fact, a rather angry... strange rodent was charging after her with a speed she wouldn't have seen in it with what it was carrying. The rat leaped up at her, swinging the blades down hard at her. A rather confused, though excited, Ageha pulled up her Sai to parry and was pushed down by the strength of the beast. [b]"What the..."[/b] She stammered, a bit taken aback. Why was this thing so strong? 

Ageha huffed and reached for her other blade while attempting to keep the rat at bay with her other arm, a task not as easy as she made it seem. The rat was beginning to push her back, her feet sliding over the dirt road. As she pulled out her second blade, the rat swung it's tail around, whipping Ageha's hand, causing her to drop her second Sai. Her eyes grew large and then narrowed, already trying to formulate a plan. She pushed the rat off of her with all of her strength. It went flying, though soon recovered and was already making another charge. With what little time she had left, Ageha dove for her blade and spun just in time to stop the creature once again with a blade. Smiling now, she took her second blade and rammed it up the rat's stomach, hoping for the best.
