Current You'd think after like 15 years I'd stop feeling like a fraud when writing posts but I still do which is both a statement on my self confidence and a compliment to how good my partners are as writers

Look, I got lost on the way to getting some jajangmyeon and it'd be foolish to leave now.

Thanks, Princess! Now Noriaki got to save face!
So it was to be a duel, and not with the protectors but with the rather brusque members of the Emperor's samurai. It seems a nerve was struck, no doubt born from the jealousy spiraling through the air after her gentle, yet tender, lips made direct contact with the Princess' hand. How the dissenters whished they could be so bold, so brazen, so full of confidence that they could risk committing a grave offense in the very home of the nobility. Nearby, a one armed warrior drew her blade and made threats bred from boredom. Noriaki gave a whistle as she spotted the size of the blade and how comfortable she looked wielding it.

But then a tall woman with a ponytail caused Noriaki's eyebrows to raise.

"You see? The woman in wraps adds credence to my claim. I've not so much as mentioned my name and she, clearly a fan and for good reason, has spoken it! If not for my claims, then she is a fan of my beauty, and I of hers, for a woman has much confidence in her appearance to wrap their torso in such a way - it invites the gaze while leaving enough to the imagination to desire to see more. While the pleasure of her name is not yet known to my tongue, she reveals my identity before I had the privilege to.do so!"

At this, Noriaki placed her hands on the hilts of her blades, leaning forward slightly, and knowingly using the sight of her cleavage as a potential distraction for her potential opponents. "But if it is a duel you desire, then you shall have it. But know that you face the great, the mighty, the undefeated, the beautiful, and the poetic, Noriaki Okamoto, she the student of the great samurai Mifune, master of nitoken. Hear my name and rethink your foolish thirst for battle, for I shall satiate it with my steel."

In her introduction, she missed the arrival of two others, despite the loud introduction and the boisterous display. Noriaki was about to unsheathe her blades, the edge of her lips cracking slightly from nerves in spite of the smile she wore.

And the the Princess spoke. Noriaki took her hands from the hilts and stood fully upright. She did not bow, instead she stared towards the one who instigated the nonsensical challenge in the first place. Gone was the subtle nervous tic, now her grin was full and boastful.

"It seems that Her Highness has taken pity on her father's soldiers, and on you, my feisty friend, for she has deemed such a display as pointless. Fortunate for you, for I only duel to the death and it would be such a shame to strike down such faithful servants, and it would be an even bigger shame to send such a vision of absolute voluptuousness and red-hot passion to an early gave without first having the pleasure of knowing her company. I will be dreaming of you, my fire-headed rival, and I may only hope your dreams will be of myself. Anytime you desire a one on one spar, the door to my chambers is always unlocked."

Noriaki placed two fingers to her lips and blew a kiss towards Kaede, giving the red headed warrior a wink and a smirk. And then she turned to the ponytailed woman, Asuka, and gave her a nod and a similar wink of approval.
I'm pretty sure this is just everyone being jealous that Noriaki kissed the Princess' hand.

It appears Yuki has gotten you out of this predicament! :D


The gauntlet has been thrown. Noriaki has been called a bird, and not in the anachronistic cheeky fun British way. That cannot go unpunished.

No picking fights before we've left the courtyard. Yuki wants to get out. :pAnd I need to sleep. XD


Sleep. Good idea.

I'm gonna sleep and dream of a way out of this predicament!

I didn't think my bluff would be called so early!

Truly, there is only one being in the universe with an ego to match Yuki's.


Yuki probably has a legitimate claim to being egotistical.

SailorMoon said
Could Noriako be any more of a play...girl? x]


Absolutely!
It's probably not a good sign that even I want to slap Noriaki now.
Inside, Noriaki was smiling, as giddy as a young lass in love, and outwardly she would have been smiling were it not for the interjection of the one who introduced herself as Shiroko. That was probably not a name she was going to remember anytime soon, White hair, sarashi, tabi...probably some kunoichi. Bad news those, never ones to fight fair, hiding in the shadows like a common thief. Noriaki once had a run-in with a kunoichi. It did not end as she hoped, and Noriaki was one whose hopes were astronomical. But, as much as she was in favor of simply ignoring the backhanded insulting words from Shiroko, Noriaki was not able to hold her tongue. She had already spoken up to the nobility, what was one little unknown?

Or at least that was her intention before the Princess, seemingly amused by the rather impassioned plea, clasped Noriaki's hand, agreeing to let her join the protection crew. Noriaki's smile returned and with a quick movement, Noriaki bent forward, keeping her eyes locked onto the Princess' face as she lifted the royal hand and kissed it, perhaps letting it linger past what was considered acceptable greeting.

"Why, Highness, does the sun have a reason for shining so brightly, does water have a reason for flowing so fiercely yet so beautifully? Like the sun above, my reason is simple. I just do as I need and do as I am needed. By the by, has anyone ever told you that your Highness' hand is softer and more warming than the finest silk? My own hand, as well as my lips, are blessed for having so much as touched such a fine, shining example of beauty."

After removing her hand, with a rather dramatic motion, she turned to look at Shiroko, a slightly haughty expression on her face. "You see, Shikoko, someone can appreciate talent and ability at a simple glance. Her Highness truly has the most impeccable of taste, and it is not pride that made her select me, but my years and years of experience in matters both physical and...private. As well as physically private. It is not pride with which I speak, but with confidence and evidence to support my claims, and I offer you as well as any other who doubts my claims to meet me upon the dueling fields. But I digress, as I will have ample opportunity to prove my words as I safeguard the Princess. Why, I could do it single handedly!"

Noriaki continued to smile, her rather...excessive speech finishing for the moment. The important thing was accomplished. She was allowed to join the protectors.
