Heir of the Iron Fist
Keiji was not in a good mood. Apparently in an attempt to form an alliance with him, Lord Yukimura had captured what he called a "fiery warrior woman" and was offering as a "bride" for him. The crassness of Yukimura galled him on an almost primal level, but Keiji couldn't afford to make an enemy of the man..yet. He'd have to handle this carefully. Perhaps staging an "escape" would be the best course to getting the woman out. First though, he'd have to assess her. He'd need to know if she was actually a warrior or simply a woman with a fiery temper. He stopped in front of the door to her room/cell. He knocks on the door, he has not idea what state of dress the woman may or not be in.

"Miss, may i enter?"

She was angry that she had let herself get caught. All because she had made the mistake of going out with some others she didn't know too well after an over seas fighting tournament. She had been hungry and they had been so friendly.

Right now she was boiling in anger. But it looked like this was her chance to start escaping.

"....Yes, you may." And as soon as he opens the door he'll be greeted with a powerful blow meant to disable him for a moment. That is all she needs.

As Keiji opens the door, he sees the fist coming. He manages to begin the process of hardening his bones, but not quick enough to avoid the punch entirely. The blow snaps his head back, but his hardened neck bones and akull prevented disorientation.

"I see for once Yukimura wasn't exaggerating." He goes for a spinning swoop kick, meant to take the woman's legs out from under her. He didn't wish to hurt her too much, but if she attempted to escape now, the whole compound would be after her.

	"So that's the name of the man whose ass I'm going to kick," Rose quips as she neatly jumps over the leg sweep and throws a spear hand towards Keiji's soft exposed throat. Bruising his wind pipe should startle him into backing away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

If Keiji had been a normal human, he'd never be able to pull the following off. He lessened the density of the bones in his neck, allowing him to quickly bend his head back, narrowly avoiding a direct strike to his throat. He snaps his neck back into place, rehardening the bones to normal levels.

"Impressive. I find it hard to believe Yukimura's thugs could have taken you prisoner in a straight fight." Keiji quickly alters his stance, which Rose may note looks like an odd combination of Mantis Kung-fu and Shotokan karate. He takes no immediate offensive action. "Who are you?"

The feat he pulled impresses her and pisses her off all at once. But she pulls herself together and takes in a deep breath of air and releases it finding her center. Her Father taught her how to fight with a cool head.

"Rose Knight-Rand. I assume they drugged my supper to slow me down. I had already been fatigued from a long day at a tournament.... and someone had landed a lucky hit earlier today bruising one of my ribs so I wasn't as fast as I normally am."

Plus she was still recovering from being in a coma for so many months. It was good to b able to fight as well as she had been.

Keiji's eyes temporarily light up in recognition. "You are Iron Fist's daughter? And Misty Knight herself has a formidable reputation. I admit part of me would relish the challenge of a fight with you." Keiji attempts to appear in a less threatening posture, but still able to defend himself quickly if need be. "However, the current situation calls for a more delicate approach. I mean to help you escape."

Smart man. Her parents would tear this place apart not to mention the West Coast Avengers joining in. Dani would never let her out of her sight again of course.

"I guess I'll have to trust you. But you do realize how hard this is going to be, right? They'll expect me to.... you know. Not be 'free'. The moment someone notices I'm out I'll have to fight that much harder. Not that I'm complaining but I have no reason to fight every man or woman I meet today. I should probably leave the country after this."

"You're right, it won't be easy. "Keiji relaxes from his stance completely, taking a chance that she understood what he was trying to do. "For now you'll have to return to your room. The room is free of conventional weapons so you'll have to improvise, perhaps a sharp sliver of wood from your bed. I'll return with a bridal kimono, which you will have to wear to maintain appearances. I must leave for now, I have arrangements to make, but I will return shortly. I know it is much to ask, considering what you've been through already, but I need to lock you back in.I know you have no reason to trust me, but I give you my solemn vow you will not live as a slave. I will find a way for you to escape." He gives a bow of respect before parting the way for her to reenter the room.

	Rose watched him silently. Then she nodded deciding that she would listen to him for now. He hadn't tried hurting her seriously, just tried to subdue her so she wouldn't put herself in danger. "Don't worry." She steps back into the room. "I'll wait and stay out of trouble. I'll just.... have to trust you for now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She managed to not directly sneer at the Lord. But that meant she had an unpleasant look on her face that many thought was reserved for her 'husband'. They of course assumed wrong. Rose found that if things were different she might like him. He certainty was easy on the eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	First she tears the kimono so she can move properly. Then she meets the Lord head on. She is fast and even with her rib protesting she flies into a solid kick. "I'm going to enjoy this," Rose mutters. A spark is in her eyes, the kind that comes from people who like to fight. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Only two of them connect. Rose moves out of the way of the rest. Then strikes out with punches of her own. They are not localized. But they are fast and sure. The warrior is more than capable of taking a hit as well as dishing them back out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She mostly dodges the 'beard attack' but it catches in the kimono and slices away part of her outfit. The young woman didn't yelp then and looked to him then grabbed his beard where there wasn't metal and yanked hard and struck again viciously. "Dirty trick." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There are lines which shouldn't be crossed," Rose states then is forced to roll with the kick. She let go of the beard and smiled as it was cut away. Then she threw a high kick of her own. He should be distracted long enough for it to go off at his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
