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 is standing next to him again. Then feels a trickle of fear.

"This.... this isn't good. He's working with one of the Celestial cities," Rose utters. She touches a finger to one of the characters. "This means Immortal Weapon."

She moves to another. "This means flower. Specifically a dark flower."

She brings her finger to another. "Bride."

She grabs the other scroll and holds them side by side. "Someone... I don't know who. Paid Yukimura to use me for this. They wanted to distract my father. I assume it is Steel Serpent. I did not think we saw the last of him."

	"I'm sorry, but Celestial City? I have heard of Davros, the Steel Serpent. Is he the same man you're referring to? Whoever would have to be wealthy indeed, Hand Lords are not easily bought, no matter their greed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes." And she looks at him blinking.

"You don't know, of course. About K'un L'un. The cycle...."

She shakes her head. "Davros thought he should be the Iron Fist. But he wasn't allowed to try. He was very angry. At everyone he thought stood in his way and he betrayed his people. He went to another city, which may as well have been another nation. You see their are seven cities. The city my father called his home for so long gave him the power of the Iron Fist. My father is her champion. And in a tournament that determines who has power, each city has their warrior their Immortal Weapon. He is K'un L'un's. Steele Serpent coveted this honor and glory for himself and still seeks to take it."

Rose bites her lip. "I don't think this was just a simple plot to hurt you. I think Davros seeks to weaken my father so he can take the power of the Iron Fist. I think he seeks to take control of K'un L'un for himself to become it's ruler in place of the Thunderer."

"Shimata," Keiji gasps in disbelief. "That..that is a lot to take in. At..at the very least it's proof. If we can get this to Lord Genma.."

"I'm afraid not Deathstrike-sama." Like the door they entered, another wall simply disappeared. Lord Yukimura with two bodyguards clad in dark red standing on either side of him, entered the room. "I thought it was suspicious when I hear my guard mention he saw you kissing your bride, Keiji. From what i know of you, you've practically swore off women because of your family issues." Yukimura's smrik is mocking, Keiji is fighting the urge to simply snarl.

She gulps a little. But both scrolls are rolls up and shoved through her obi.

"Then ell me this, what do you have to gain by working with Davros? He has no power in K'un L'un," she asks flatly. "Or is that it? Do you fancy yourself a Kingmaker? You should know he has forgotten what honor means. He has become a betrayer and would bring ruin to you if he thought it would give him the power he wants."

And right now she is shifting into a fighting stance. A kimono isn't for fighting in though. Not well as it restricts her movement.

Yukimura laughs a bit. He mutters a word, and the wall is returned, now with a black symbol placed on it.

"Our arrangement was that if I aided in his attempts to take K'un L'un, then he would provide me with slaves captured from his enemies. I've been looking for a new market and a city that most don't even know exists works nicely." Yukimura shrugs back, his robe falling to the floor. His body is prctically chisled of raw, hard muscle. "I'm not concerned if he doesn't follow through, he's already paid me for my intial aid. He has nothing to gain by causing my fall. I intially planned to have your father fight Deathstrike over there, he'd win, but not without cost. Unfortunately you've forced me to change my plans."

Yukimura strokes his long beard.

"Perhaps when I kill you, I'll have you put on Lord Genma's property. That disgusting blob's so-called morals have hindered my business too long. As for you Keiji, I'm afraid you'll have to disappear."

Keiji growls, his claws sprouting from his fingernails. "Not bloody likely." For now, no one moves.

Rose can feel something deep down hum. And there is a roar somewhere back in her blood and she is throwing a knife across the room quickly before the guards can act. It slices across the side of Lord Yukimura's face and sinks into the wall.

"Not if I kill you first, you dog. I can not let you threaten K'un L'un nor bring harm to my family."

And he is a slaver on top of that. The verdict for him has already been set in her mind. She'll feel guilty latter but right now she just sees the fact he must be ended.

	Yukimura snarls and shouts: "Kill Deathstrike! The bitch is mine!" The guards charge at Keiji as Yukimuracharges at Rose. (Reply to this)(Parent)
