Kaede had been watching the young princess carefully out of the corner of her eye. She had been relaxed before whilst safe and inside the castle. Now the mission had started and they were in constant danger, now Kaede’s entire demeanor had changed, her face was cast iron cold and she walked with both confidence and command. She positioned herself near to the princess but also far enough away to see what was occurring around her. She had been frozen still, ready to rush over when she noticed the demonic features appearing out from under Mizuki's dress but luckily someone took care of it, to which Kaede gave a nod of approval before moving on.

The Miko showed off her oh so kind hearted soul which drew slight attentions to her, something Kaede resisted admonishing her for since that would cause more a scene. Still she was slightly annoyed, they were under alot of danger already, they needed to be alert, not good Samaritans. Likewise she ignored Noriaki's creepy flirting. Asuka-dono's little trouble however, she did not ignore. This was not something she could control and so the situation had to be managed.

The men seemed delusional, blaming a soldier for the death of a soldier. If they loved their brother so much they should have stopped him going. When it looked to turn messing Kaede maneuvered herself close to the men and held her hand close to her sword, prepared to defend her comrade if the need arose. She knew Asuka could handle herself but if she wasnt going to kill anyone problems could arise and Kaede was a master at handling bad situations. Still, she wasn't needed and she was very impressed by Asuka's own calm control of her own problems. It was very impressive to see and Kaede gave her a brief grin and shoulder pat of approval before returning to her spot close to the Princess, ensuring her safety.

A few seconds before the attack to their princess, Kaede sensed some closing danger, her eyes glowing a strange red and her head snapping to face the princess as she watched the knives slice past her. The Miko and Asuka-dono managed to snatch up the Princess as Kaede came running over and leaped up onto the buildings above, following the Princess and little Miko and Asuka from the rooftops. It was well she did for she found at least three men had had the same idea. One leaped down into the deserted alleyway before Kaede could catch up but the other two did not escape Kaede's blade. As one tried to follow his comrade Kaede threw her chain weapon, the weighted end swinging around his ankle and catching him mid air, letting Kaede yank him back into her drawn sword whereupon she gutted him as he flew passed and let his body fall into another street. The other had turned to face her, two daggers drawn and ready to attack, preparing for Kaede to stop and at least wait for an opening. He was wrong. Kaede charged forward, careless of the blades he held, her face a mask of cold killing intent. She let him pierce her shoulder without even flinching before slashing sideways and opening up his gut. He collapsed, leaving the blade in her flesh, which she continued to ignore as she turned once more and leaped into the alleyway, catching the final aggressor on her sword as he staggered back from the Miko's own well aimed attack. She ran him completely through, twisting her blade to ensure the most damage before sliding it gracefully from his chest and standing there, over his body, barely even panting.

With a face of slight annoyance she carelessly pulled the dagger from her shoulder and threw it away. Her eyes anxiously checked over her companions, especially the princess. They all looked generally unharmed except the Miko who had a few cuts from daggers. She nodded in satisfaction and looked around, noting the strategic advantages and disadvantages and ways out of their position.

"We need to leave the City more urgently than we first thought, come. Asuka-dono please guard our rear and Miko-san stay close to the Princess." She gestured from them to follow her, holding out her hand and moving cautiously towards the nearest exit she knew from the city. This was not the first time she had had to rush to escape this city from people trying to kill her, it was an occupational hazard for a half-demon. But it meant she knew alot of secret dark alleys and ways through the buildings to not be seen. Even so she kept up her guard at all times, ready to fight and defend the princess. Her clothes were already stained in blood, some of it her own, however the wound in her shoulder had already stopped bleeding, an effect of her heritage.

I'm doing alright, luckily I have a peaceful agreement with the concept of death at a ripe age. She lived a long, fulfilled life and it was her time to begin her next one. My dad is, I Donno, he's a weird guy as it is, so I can't really tell if he's in mild shock still or if he just can't think straight or if he's just being lazy but he's put most of the funeral arrangements on me, and it's like, I'm more than happy to help, but I feel like it's his responsibility to help out a little more,..? Either way, I'll do everything ic an to ensure the service is as amazing as she deserves it to be.

^_^ well so long as you're ok. Yeah your Dad should get involved at least :/ you wanna help but really you've got a child to take care of and yourself to take care of they kinda take precedent really I'd say, but so long as you're ok
