Sneak Attack [Kit/Open]

[Yamabara Shou]

Another trip, another day, another village. Nothing out of the ordinary, a simple trip. At least that was what Shou hoped for, however he wasn't the luckiest man in the world it seemed. As Shou came into the town he could see some sort of disturbance going on up ahead. Leading his horse behind a building before he was seen, Shou peeked out at what was going on. 

A couple of brute were facing off with a young women weapons drawn, in threat. People were looking on, none brave enough to stand forward and face the men in defence of the women, or not caring. It was despicable really. Lucky for him however he was behind the two weapon wielding men, a conversation he couldn't here going on. Rather then wait for it to turn sour, and allow those weapons to be used. Shou would act. 

Sliding a dagger out into each hand he would, pop out from his corner. He would sneak forward as much as he could before throwing a dagger at each of the men. Aimed at the back of one of each man's knees should charge forward, getting close he would grab the head of each man as they stumbled and slam the two together, to hopefully knock them out.

.::A job wasn't always a job to Kitana. She had her limits on the types of assignments she took. Anything involving children was most certainly, undoubtedly out of the question for the mixed heritage beauty. Women were an iffy, circumstantial instance. Men, well, a man of corruption of sorts was mostly certainly fair game now wasn't he? There was no thought process of whether she should or shouldn't that she needed to take with such a situation. That being said brings to the current point in time. A simple village nothing out of the ordinary or anything that stood out that separated it from any other place. Even Kitana's current priestess like attire courtesy of Harada wasn't so out of place with there being a few others roaming about as well. Not many but enough that she didn't draw all the attention to herself. But she was the only foreign looking one. Her Japanese features were practically nonexistent as all her features were adorned from her late mother. Her mother was a lady of regal stature back in England, and in Kitana's look it seemed she held that same regal glow despite her roughness. Japan had a decent amount of foreigners roaming through the lands for various reasons so how out of the norm could it truly be::.

.::Now the evening was still young. The moon was just peeking through the moving clouds adding a soft glow upon the village. It was a contrast to the conflict that was starting to brew between two men and a woman. A small crowd of onlookers had formed around people more than likely being too afraid that the potential wrath would turn on them. People of the world worked in funny ways. What no one knew was the display was false. Each participant paid for by Kitana. Why was the question? Because her target, a low level lord, was known for enjoying the pains of others. Watching the sick display of mistreatment of the weak; especially women. Instead of making it more quiet and silent, Kitana figured since he liked public display so much he could suffer in front of them as well. And what do you know? He was right front in center watching, waiting for whatever to go down. Gracefully Kitana slipped to his side a little behind unknowing to him or the obvious concubine clinging to his arm. No one else might've noticed the one about to cut the show off before it really started but Kitana did as her eyes were ever so watchful::.

.::As the men were about to be attacked she bumped into the target as if she had tripped and used him to catch her fall. In the process she pricked him in the neck with a heavily laced needle. The poison would work even faster. Of course the man wasn't initially though she pretended to be apologetic. As such the men were going down and that drew the target's attention back with displeasure. Soon and quickly it would all turn to unimaginable pain. The poison was a Hemotoxin quickly attacking his red blood cells causing rapid blood clotting which would make his death rather swift. The concubine of course screaming as the main began dropping in convulsions. Kitana however just casually turned away long ago and began to walk away from everything. The way those guys went down, they nor the guy she brought them from were going to be happy. But they knew the risk and she didn't care. Job was done::.

[Yamabara Shou]

Shou would slam the two men into the ground and the women ahead of them would back away. "I wasn't paid for this." She muttered turning and running away. Shou found the words odd and the action odder. Suddenly a scream would get her attention. A women clutching a man. As Shou had no idea who the man was, nor his deeds he rushed over in order to assist. Shou focused studying the state the man was in. He knew some about poison, though those he used were designed not to kill. He couldn't see where the injury that caused the poison was though, and with out that he knew he couldn't save the man's life. 

Shou quickly examined the area, and the ground around the man. Foot step barely noticeable in the ground, from scuffed dirt had approached the man. Then they faulted before resuming away again. His eye would follow the tracks and his eyes would settle on a elaborately dressed women calmly walking away. It wasn't enough to attack her, but he could bloody well ask her questions. "He's been poisoned find the wound and suck it out. Don't drink it." Shou would snap a order at the women holding the man. 

Shou would sprint after the women, feet falls soft, quiet but not silent. As he got close, Shou would put a hand on the women shoulder to stop her walking away any further. "I have some questions?" Shou would say, trying to not give away that he suspected her, but rather that he wanted to know if she had seen anything.
