Chapter 303: Sword Hunting
Chapter 303: Sword Hunting
"No matter how powerful the Mistress of all weaponary is, being attacked without a weapon..... you are as good as dead!" declared the leader of the trio, jerking back the fundo and spinning it while holding the sickle end, revealing himself to use a kusarigama.
"Though I have to say those traps of your delayed us for sometime and we even thought that you would have gotten away but here you are still soaking yourself in the water" said the leader.
Kaname couldn't help but gulp nervously as she scanned the attackers. Her own staff was still in her own room, meaning she didn't have anything but her hands to defend herself with, moreover after having sex with Kenichi and Shigure she didn't had much stamina left in her. Though she had been training up her hand to hand combat skills, it sadly paled in comparison with her staff technique. She looked at Shigure, who was seemingly also weaponless when the leaders companion attacked with a spear and katana.
"Little Shigure... big crisis" commented Shigure as she undid her hair ribbon, letting it fall into water while gripping one side of it.
Just as the weapons came in range, Shigure suddenly whipped her ribbon like whip, smashing it right into her attacker's temples, shattering the sunglasses they had been wearing.
'What!? Amazing, even a piece of ribbon becomes a deadly weapon for her. But is it enough?' questioned Kaname inside her mind.
"Just..... kidding" stated Shigure as she dodged another attack from leader, "Did you think I would put my weapon more than 5 meters away from me?'
"What!?" shouted the leader as Shigure's ribbon shot into the seemingly random tree in the middle of the onsen.
With a swift jerk, Shigure's blade came flying towards her, which she easily caught before letting go off the ribbon, slowly unsheathing her blade.
"Damn" cursed the bald katana user, aka Baldy for now, shaking his head to clear out the concussion before landing his eyes on Kenichi and Kaname.
'Maybe I can use the kids as a distraction!' thought Baldy as he charged towards them. He never suspected that the only reason he could do so was because Shigure was letting him while she quickly knocked out the spear user while cutting his weapon into pieces.
"Gotcha!" shouted the Baldy just as Kenichi tossed his towel into he Baldy's face.
Baldy instantly swiped the towel away, thinking it was a weak distraction when a hand came out of nowhere grabbing the back of his head while the other hand gripped Baldy's hand that was grabbing the katana, before Baldy could even try to get away from the grip, Kenichi swiped his leg and twisted his waist slamming Baldy's body on the ground while taking the sword away from his hand.
"Fucking bastards spoiled my time with my girls" said Kenichi as he kicked Baldy's chest making him slide backwards.
"No hand combat only weapon combat" said Shigure not liking the fact that Kenichi didn't carried a weapon with him or anywhere around him.
"Fine whatever you say Shigure" Kenichi said as he throwed Baldy's sword and walked towards a bush on a side and took out his meteor hammer that he had hidden, "I kept it here but because I was angry at them for disturbing us, I used my hands to show my anger"
Shigure grinned and nodded her head excepting Kenichi's answer as she herself was angry with these three attackers of her, she had laid so many traps around the inn just so that she would get some alone time with Kenichi but here come these guys ruining the moment.
'I feel.... so useless' gritted Kaname in frustration. She had no weapon to use to defend herself, and what hurt her pride was that even Kenichi, who wasn't as fluent in weapon combat as she was, was more prepared than her. Though that was just her thinking as in reality Kenichi had been sparring with Shigure on regular basis with different weapons and was already a high class disciple on most of them except sword which he wasn't able to control to only cut cloth and not the body, still her favorite weapon of use was a staff like Kaname but of course it was of full size and not a shorter version that Kaname liked to use.
Her eyes quickly roamed around trying to see what could be used as weapon. She thought of using the wet towel so she picked it up and hurrriedly went into stance only to remember that since Kenichi had already taken out Baldy and Shigure took down the other two it wasn't needed anymore.
"It's done, we should get ready to go" Shigure said as she stepped out of the onsen.
"Hai" Kaname said while Kenichi just nodded his his head as the two walked out of the onsen as well.
______________________________________________________
Nighttime had fallen while Kaname, Shigure and Kenichi were walking on the mountain route towards the meeting point. The trio was looking over a cliff towards a small temple, where abut two dozen people, all wielding weapons and of different nationalities were waiting to take the head of Shigure Kosaka.
"That's quite a few" murmered Kaname as she squinted down.
"The real threat's are just about to come" Kenichi said.
Before Shigure or Kaname could ask what that meant, another man entered the temple. Shigure's eyes widened as soon as she saw just who had entered.
Back at the temple, a warrior monk named Housouin had been talking to another man wearing a fedora hat named Hakuseki when the huge man appeared behind them.
"Don't tell me" uttered Hakuuseki with cold sweat appearing on his face, "You are Yami's Kii Kagero, from the Yami Armed Division! Otherwise known as Iai Kagero!"
Kagero smiled, "Exactly but I am not here to disturb any of you just...."
KASHINK
Kagero paused and looked at his hand in curiosity, "Huh. I could've sworn I just heard the voice of tsubanari.
Hakuseki panicked as he quickly felt around his body as soon as he heard the sound of a sword sheathing, looking for any cuts while Housouin looked at him in confusion asking what was wrong.
"Don't you know? The meaning of Iai Kagero of Tsubanari? When you hear the sound of sword sheathing, someone's already been sliced to death! That's why he hold's the title of Otokoeiaigiri (Supersonic Sword Draw Slash)!"
