Daiki got to his feet just as the Prince and the woman did, Hitoko and Yukiko falling in next to him. However, Yukiko darted ahead, blocking him from moving forward. "What?" He asked, crouching down. A flicked ear, nose pointing towards the door, and a recoiling as if stung. Danger. The sort of danger that made strange sounds. Adrenaline shot through Daiki's system, and he grabbed the Prince and Chiyome before they could leave. Hitoko had acted even faster, and now stood between the two humans and the door. "Danger. Back door." Daiki told them, pulling them behind him, towards safety, while Hitoko retreated carefully so that other humans could leave. He didn't care about them. He was supposed to keep the Prince safe, and walking out the front door would be walking into an unknown situation. Unknown situations mean pain or death.
Mask over his face, Daiki growled in his throat. He hated stealthy opponents. It made him look like the fool when he saw them coming before all chaos broke loose. All enemies should just charge in, screaming, with swords bared and partners attacking. That way he could be the stealthy one and attack them. While he was making stuff up, it'd be nice if the evil ones had silly goatees and stupid grins. Hitoko had taken up a position close to the door, which Yukiko mirrored. Daiki himself untied his bokken, holding it one-handed while he waved for the Prince to move. He couldn't take his eyes off the door. From how tense his partners were, whatever had put them on edge was close by, and getting closer.
