hajime, lord deathstrike, plot-"the eternal serpent", sunset

A Normal Evening Out.
Amiko called Hajime and Keiji into her office. "Gentleman, I have a suggestion it's possible neither of you will be comfortable with, but I want you to humor me."

The smoke bomb goes down, and Hajime is rendered sightless.

Without hesitation, he drops to his knees, closing his eyes. They can deceive, they can be taken away. He focuses on the Zanshin technique, remembering the surroundings, remembering where the weapons were.

He listens for the sound of the assassin's padded footsteps amidst distant sounds of shoes and running. And when he has a direction - towards the weapons, he waits... waits for his moment, the instant he hears the sound of metal scraping on cement, the weapon being retrieved, presuming the assassin must be picking it up - he knows where he is, and when the man is without weapon.

In that moment, he does not need eyes. He turns, coming to his feet, and lunges.

	Amiko, too, crouches, but she stays still, takes some of the available air closer to the ground... and simply lets the heat build in her hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When Yuji picks up the weapon. Hajime's sword connects. While Yuji's armor prevented the blade from piercing his skin, the blow itself was still strong. As such it sent him sprawling backwards toward Amiko. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The hands that wrap around the assassin's wrists as he stumbles backwards out of the disappating smoke are searing hot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yuji screamed in pain, the heat searing his metal bands to his skin. He had enough sense to attempt to headbutt Amiko in the face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The scream tells Hajime where the assassin is, as his vision is clearing. He turns, swinging downward, trying to put his blade somewhere near where that scream is coming from, stopping short so he does not endanger Amiko until he's clear - but trying to make it clear his blade is somewhat near the assassin's throat, and he's not going to be blinking away smoke forever.

"Surrender."

	Yuji snarls, but doesn't move. "I will not yield. To do so would disgrace myself before the Beast." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And Amiko had enough sense that her face was nowhere near the right place. Constantly in motion and bent in unnatural ways, that was how Yukio had always taught her to handle situations like this. But the hot grip on his wrists stays strong, the metal continuing to be not a good insulator.

"They never learn," she groans. "Hajime, please take him out, but leave him alive. He's going to rot, and eventually, he's going to talk."

	"You are already a disgrace." he replies, intending, originally, to take his head... but following orders, and trying to knock the assassin over the head with the hilt of his sword instead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It will not stop with me! Oyama betrayed the Hand and the Beast! He will die for his betray...!" He stops in mid-sentence as Hajime's blow sens him into unconsciousness. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Every. Single. Time. Every time the hand sends an assassin to take someone from me, they lose that assassin, one way or another," Amiko says quietly as she starts tying the unconscious figure. "And they never learn" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods. "Organizations like their are very persistent. Their roots, from what I understand of them, were around in my day... and have not learned for 700 years, Amiko-sama. Do not worry, I will stop as many assassins as it takes." Or die trying, but as long as he lives, killing his lord is not an option. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Amiko takes a deep breath. "I know you will, Hajime. You're the second-greatest samurai I've ever known." With Amiko's personal prejudice, second-greatest is the highest anyone can attain. "Thank you, and if you will please get the other side of him so we can check on Keiji without leaving him unattended...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hajime nods, removing his belt to bind the assassin's hands very firmly high up on his back to make sure he can't get to his sash, trusting that there would be more poisoned shuriken hidden in it if he tried to use their attacker's clothing as ties. He can be searched later. As soon as he has him bound securely, he helps heft him so they can check on Keiji. (Reply to this)(Parent)
