Shou would continue his circuit, as it seemed the men of the Imagawa fell. However suddenly two shot of a rifle would head in his direction. Shou would look up to the source of them and see Iemasa. The man was a ally in this battle, if that was the case. Then. Shou turned and would see at who he fired. However Shou wouldn't wait to see if the shot had connected, and would bring up a arm. A small dart would fire out of his left bracer at the man. It was lace with a poison that slowed the system. Shou would like to see the man try to get away with that in his system.

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.

Current Powers Demon's Blade of Returning - This blade can be telepathically controlled to an extent. It acts much like a boomerang, returning to its master after being thrown. The effect cannot be used unless it is in its owners possession.The Yamabara Flying Talons - By pressing the medallion, these daggers when thrown can be made to create a 5 foot area of shadow. This shadow obscures sight but is not complete darkness. This darkness last until the end of the users next post. Headband of the Keen-eyed Scout - The wearer can block out the rest of the world in order to focus his gaze. This allows the wearer to see much greater distances, or see minute detail of things closer. While using this power the user will miss event around them that they are not focused on.Purified Rouge's Chest Plate - Unbreakable/Unpieceable. Once per thread can return half the damage from a blow to the torso.Cloak of the Intrepid Spymaster - The wearer may choose to become completely silent. This power stops functioning if they move from where they stand.Spymaster's Secret Shots - Twice per thread/Once per each bracer. May fire a small dart covered in poison.

This effect last on the target for 3 posts.
Ring of the Tireless Courier - The wearer does not tire from walking, jogging or running. However carrying a large burden or other physically hard tasks do so normally. Boots of the Agile Trickster - The wearer can call up a burst of speed and agility equal to 1/2 Base DEX; however any attacks they make are seriously less accurate or skilled. This may be used once a thread per 10 points of SPR.
Gloves of the Tricksters Trickshot - One projectile (Thrown Weapon, Arrow, Bullet, Ect..) per post may be made to ricochet. This ricochet must been done off a solid object, such as the ground, walls or heavy objects. Powers that activate upon hitting something activate on the ricochet not the intended target unless they can activate multiply times. Locket of the Uncanny Trickster - Once per thread, the wearer may call upon good luck to assist them. When activated some coincidence allows them to dodge a blow, or distract a foe into releasing a grapple on the wearer.

This lasts 1 post per 20 Spr, and may not be used on the same person more than once a thread unless the user consumes a Musou Wine.
Movement – This works like an opposite of the Darkness version. Allow the user to jump to place of light; they may not jump into shadows. At night they may only jump into light. May only teleport once in a single post.
Protective – A Light Musou user may add ½ Spr to Con against elemental attacks except darkness. The may added ¼ Spr to Con against physical attack.
Range Attacks – A Light Musou wielder may fire blast of Light. They may fire 1 Large projectile, which does Spr in damage, or they may split it into small projectiles.

This doppelganger has stats equal to the users Spr and last 1 post for every 5 Spr or until the user is Musou fatigued. This clone is treated as being under the Light Protective power, and may attack with the Light Musou bolstered attacks. It may cause lingering effects. Large amounts of darkness can destroy the clone. Those with a Dark Musou may do double damage when using it against the clone.

Shou couldn't help but think that the other man was insane even if he was right. Yes not resting would mean that they would get to safety quicker, but it could also mean they passed out at a critical moment. However Shou driven by pride, wouldn't let the other man even if he was stronger do all the work. He would row, tirelessly. His arms eventually feeling like they were burning. How he long to be on his feet, to be running somewhere rather then rowing. This was so much more effort to do.
The first day would pass, with absolutely minimal breaks. Shou only stopping to drink enough to stay hydrated with the sun up high as it was. However when the night rolled in, he was glad that they hadn't decided to stop. As heat became cold, and only by staying active did he feel he would manage to stay warm. "I hate ships." Shou muttered to himself, the event of the crash and now enduring this spurring in him and new hatred for the sea.
Shou would eat what he could keep down, when morning came washing it down with water. Giving his arms a small rest from the constant work. How on earth did Maki keep going? Shou thought before resuming to row. The next two days would pass, hot days and cold night. Little rest, and only adequate food and water. Eventually he would see the land. Shou granted in response to Maki, and pushed himself. Given it his all. Rowing as hard as he could in order to reach the land. HE was tempted to get in the water and swim the last of the way, just so he could rely on his legs and not his arms. But getting soaked before having to travel overland was just as bad a idea.
Making land fall Shou let himself fall to the ground to rest, as Maki ate and drank before leaving. Shou didn't even bother to respond, it was over. A little while later, Shou got back to his feet and went over to the ship. Drinking, he opened the container that had the food into, to notice that Maki had eaten it all. "That asshole." He snapped, throwing the empty container back out to sea, with a snarl. Claiming his possessions, Shou took the container that had the last of the water, and turned in land. Then he started running, and wouldn't stop until he found civilization.

Shou would wake quickly at Maki voice. He was used to rude and sharp awakening when work needed to be done, and getting off this island was a task he would be more then happy to fulfil. Shou would get himself ready as well, putting on his armour. And storing his weapon on the raft. Once again he check they had everything, before grabbing one of the lines and starting to drag the raft out over to the water.
Once there he would grab a set of the oars and throw them to Maki. Before pushing the raft the rest of the way out into the water and jumping on board. "Come on, let get out of this place forcing us both through 'Hellish Company'" Shou would mutter at Maki grabbing a set of oars himself, and waiting for the larger man to climb aboard. Once they were both on board, Shou would start to row. Freedom beaconed.
Shou looked out to the sea as they started on there way. The sea's were calm, and much of it's ire should have been used on the storm that brought them here. Looking up he looked to the sun. Praying in his mind to the Amateratsu that they would escape to the main land safely.

Shou couldn't help but be curious when Maki disappeared for a couple of days. He wondered had the other man found working nearby him too much to handle. However Shou didn't really care, if Maki felt that way. As he had already help Shou get a lot more prepared for escape then he would otherwise had been. Over the couple days that Maki was gone, Shou would test the raft. He would make sure it floated with enough of a clearance to keep them mostly dry, and wasn't going to roll over at the the slightest touch of a wave.
The raft seemed like it would hold up, and so Shou would head into the forest, filling up some of the containers with water for the trip. Only for Maki to eventually return with food. So that was were the man had been. Shou would do some last minute checks on what they had before heading to bed for the night. Freedom was just over the horizon and as much as he hated it, MAki was mostly why.

The next 5 days would pass in mostly silence, only the occasion request or confirmation of tasks would be said. Shou would work as if everything depended on it. The quick that the raft was sea worthy the quicker they could get back to the mainland and go there own ways. It was a dull boring job, making line and dragging logs that Maki had felled in order to make the platform of s ship grow.
Shou would also manage to carve out slowly the containers for the water. It was hard to do with the throwing daggers he had, but it was better then trying to do so with his sword. However equipment would grow. The raft looked solid if not amazing. 5 large wooden containers with lid to keep them safe would be lined up along side the raft, as well as a collection of makeshift oars for them to use. Shou however wouldn't stop there, in the centre of the raft, a small pinned of section would be made so that the container of water wouldn't roll away. It was seriously starting to look like they had a chance. All they had to do now, was get some food, fill the containers as well, and wait for the best weather to risk setting off.

Pain filled Shou and he was worried that this was all going to happen again, that he was going to die. Then the even greater fear that he wouldn't get a third chance came over him. Only for him to be saved by the Takeda solider, knocking the guards off of him. Leaping as quickly to his feet as he could, Shou grabbed the rod that had been thrown at him along with the first and jumped at one of the soldiers. Beating him down as quick as he could Shou would then throw one of the rods to his kinsman, so that he could better defend himself. If they could take these few down quickly then they could free and arm the rest of the troops, before trying to make there escape.

Shou would notice the other man's approach and his hand would shoot to his sword instinctively before the Maki started speaking. Had it really been 20 days, Shou wondered he had been losing track of time somewhat. Though Maki was right, Shou wanted off this island just as much as he did.
"A temporary truce... Fine." Shou would agree looking down at the make shift boat he was building. If they both wanted to get off it would need to be bigger then it was. Also they would need water. "Well if you want to feel more trees. I can make rope out of the foliage here in order to tie this thing together." Shou would explain, lifting up some of the improvised rope.
"However if we really want to get off here we will need water." Shou would point out. "If you cat some smaller lengths of tree, we can hallow them out, and I can carve lid for them. That way we would have some containers to fill from the brook." Shou would explain before standing. "Then if we pushed off that way." He pointed out over the ocean and to the left. "I'm sure the mainland is a few hard days row that way." He would finish. He hated the idea of having to work with Maki but his strength could turn this from a impossible task to a feasible one.

Shou watched the unfolding events mind shocked. Shou along with the generals present would start to voice their opinions on the matter at hand, but even Shou couldn't bring himself to continue to do so when Lord Shingen gestured for silence. Right now Shou wasn't unsure how to feel. Ahead of him his Lord and his friend were about to start fighting over a misunderstanding. A bad misunderstanding, but a misunderstanding nevertheless.
Shou would back off, a hand reaching up to the handle of his sword on his back. Gripping it in anger but not drawing it. He wanted so badly to stop this but even Lord Shingen had agreed. Letting go of the sword, he bow to both Daimyo before walking father away in order to remain out of the way of the dull that was about to occur.

Shou though that he was going to be able to deal with the situation calmly, however one of the guard managed to turn and see him with the rod before he dropped it and see the Takeda soldier with the keys. Rather then dropping the rod. Shou threw it gently in arc forward. Hoping to make the man look up. Shou would dash forward, catching the rod on its way down and trying to take down the soldier as he had the first. Surprise was quickly going to be lost, and so Shou didn't relent and powered his way through, using the rod to attack and take down the soldier left as quickly as he could, while the man in the cage free himself and the others.

(OOC: As you managed to get my character name mixed up in your post and I happen to have a NPC called Yamada. I figured this would be funny.)
Hake would indeed find people by the training field. However Shou would not be among them today. While he sometimes trained with the unit it wasn't something he always did. Eventually in order to track him down, Hake would have to ask. However having made a mix up in his mind out Shou name, he was directed but not to who Hake would be expecting.
A respectful looking man, with tied back red hair would be the sight that greeted her. "You've been looking for me?" Yamada Hideki would asked confused once Hake arrive. He was good at his job, and someone asking after him getting to his ears before they did wasn't too strange. "I'm pretty sure we haven't met before." Yamada would say politely giving a respectful bow.

While the comments from the other man did effect him. Shou put on a blank face. He wasn't going to raise to this man, he had learned lashing out in anger didn't get him anywhere. And this man seemed extremely confident in his ability. Moving his hands behind his back, blade would completely silently drop into each hand. Forming into a set of them held like claws in his right hand. While in his left one would have the medallion pressed, ready to be dropped to create shadow around him.
Shou would stand there waiting, silently. Waiting for the other man to either go away, or act on his desire to fight Lord Shingen and try to get pass him. Shou wasn't going to strike. In fact hand's behind his back standing calmly. It looked as if he had just started to ignore the man.

Shou listened intently as Katsumi spoke about the past, she almost conflict by the idea of travelling with someone. She obviously love Haji though. Suddenly the idea got flipped around and he was asked if he wanted the same while travelling. Katsumi apologising for asking. "You don't have to apologise. Curiosity is a good thing." Shou would reassure her that he didn't mind.
Thinking on the point for a bit, Shou wasn't sure what to say. "I guess. But I shall settle for Gokaze to keep me company." He wouldn't mind someone to travel with, but he wouldn't want it to become a every day thing. Sometimes being alone was good, and it wasn't likely to happen back home at the Takeda camp.

With no ship coming so far. Shou prepared things for the day that one would. A make shift raft, bit by bit would be created. It wouldn't go the distance but maybe he could reach a passing ship with it. It was nothing more then a small wooden platform of a ship. Next a large branch would be carved. Carved into a large beam of wood with a flat larger end, effectively an oar for him to use.
Next to that would be small branches also carved, but ends wrapped with dried foliage. A plan in his mind. When a ship passed, Shou wouldn't rely on just his fire to get there attention. But kick the raft out into the sea. Rowing out as far and fast as he could. While in one hand he would wave the makeshift torches lit on his main fire before he had rushed out into the water.

Shou would listen to the story. Face twisting at the idea of it. No wonder Yukimura was in such a state, he obviously had been punished for the death. It was good that they had been nice enough to leave him alive. Shou face would turn from Takehiro and look over towards Lord Shingen.
It had to be a misunderstanding, there was no way that Lord Shingen would order such a thing. It couldn't be. However Takehiro also had no reason to lie. Shou remembered the dream he had given, to lead in peace. He would not go out to war like this, not unless it had been justified.

Shou would slowly approach silent, before lunging forward when the guard made any action. The bar swinging out for the side of his head. A blow to render him cleanly unconscious. Shou dropping the bar to the floor and kicking it under the guard, so it wouldn't be seen before snatching the keys and throwing them through the bars of the cells towards one of the other Takeda men.

Shou would listen to the pair of plans. Either way required that they remain here at least for awhile. However it was uncertain how quickly the man would heal, a messenger could be faster. Shou thought, though slightly bias.
"Well I figure there is no reason to risk taking him that far. The town is more likely to send, more then just two men out to keep him contained. Though must be sure to mention the bounty, so that they can bring enough to pay." Shou would explain his view point. Once Saito had started eating, Shou would do so as well. Glad to have something to eat after the days travelling he had done.

Shou would be going about his day, planning to go meet Koboyashi in order to speak about the unit. When a small number of troops carrying a stretcher rushed past. Looking down, Shou saw who it was. "Sanada-san!" He exclaimed in shock not getting in the men's way, and letting him be carried off to get aid. A breif flash of anger welled up, while he didn't know Yukimura that well, he was respected to some extent. Dashing off in the direction they came from.
Shou would see the Takeda men gathering, and beyond them he would see the Amakusa. "Amakusa-san?" Shou said loudly confused pushing himself forward. The situation suddenly seemed odd. Yukimura was injured but it was Takehiro here, with from the look of it a army. "What is going on here?" He asked the anger from seeing Yukimura hurt, replaced with curiosity.

The other man wasn't slow either, and easily evaded his attack before lashing out at Shou with one of his own. If the kick had only been lower Shou could have just raised his leg out of the way. However that wasn't a option, and the leg would slam into him. It hurt but Shou gritted his teeth and forced himself to remain standing.
Shou arms would try and grab the leg as quickly as he could, holding it pinned into his side. Before like he had earlier he would step in, and then turn powerful from the hips, and try to send the other man flying towards the pool of frozen water.

Shou did not know that the man he currently faced, had a lot more success in Numa, then Shou and the group he was with, did in that demonic castle. He had no reason to believe that he was incapable of matching the man. Letting the focus fade and the world return to normal in his sight. Shou heard the man's challenge.
"I have no quarrel with you. Yes you have the gall, to have sent word challenging Lord Shingen. Leave or you will get the chance to test my ability." Shou said confidently, his arms tensing preparing to move blades hidden under clothes so that they would slid into hand. If this man wanted to fight his way though. It would not be a easy time. Shou was no push over, and neither was Yukimura who Shou hadn't even realised was behind him, to focus on the other man.

Shou could understand Hake's sentiment to a certain extent. I carriage would indeed be a decent enough barrier between man and horse. It couldn't really hurt a man inside the carriage without hurting itself. Then the other man tried to excuse himself. along with another request. The possible double meaning making him blush faintly before deciding to act on the purer of the two meanings.
"Well I see no reason not to. Barring sudden duties. I will let you get back to your business." Shou replied politely. Wondering what exactly Hake's duties were and what business he was connected to. "It was nice to meet you." Shou would add, nodding a small bow before letting Hake go on. While Shou decide to remain behind and calmly finish off his food.
