[Old Man Sensei's School of Butt Whoop]

Musashi frowned to Old Man Sensei. The boy... he did not agree. Even if he had enormous respect for his teacher, he wasn't sure this was a case when he might be right.

“... No. That's not true, Sensei. Yes, there are problems in a war... people die, people who shouldn't die... but if there is clear evil in the world, then what other choice IS there? Are you really telling me it's better to do nothing? To stand and watch people killed when you could stop it is just as evil as being the one killing them.”

Musashi frowned once more... had he really come for advice, or was he just hoping that someone would back up what he was already planning to do? The young man frowned, and then he turned back to Aaron and Adrianna.

“... I could tell you all about Japan, if you'd like.”

“Do we really have time for that?” Nanami sighed.

“... Of course we do. We have to show the people of this nation that for all our differences, we're still the same at the core.” Musashi smiled a bit.

[Broadway Coffee House]

Sama paused, and nodded as he took a drink of his coffee and leaned back.

“Well... I know a lot about the War. I saw some European countries after the war... it wasn't a pretty sight. One thing I know... God help us if this stuff overseas really does start another war like that one...”

He frowned, and then shook his head. “But what does that War have to do with the possible attacks here?”

[Outside of The Ritz]

Just as he was walking down the street, a massive explosion rocked the wall of a hotel much fancier than the one he'd stayed at. Rica paused, and swore under his breath. It was quite annoying... he didn't need to get involved in these affairs, but at the same time, how could he just ignore it?

Rica headed towards the building...

Adrianna grinned, looking from Nanami to Musashi and taking his arm. "Why thank you....Ummm Mr.Emperor's son? Is that the same as a prince?"

Adrianna didn't know much about Japan, though she had heard quite a few things in the news.

Broadway Coffee House

"The stations believes that tactics used in the Great War could be used in major cities here" Crystal explained "After all nations learn from their mistakes, and build off of confrontations in the past. Just think of what would happen if mass bombings occurred in a city like New York?"

And of course right at that moment Crystal noticed the smoke coming from a nearby building.

"What...The?"

Streets

Jason gave a nod but then stopped in his tracks, staring at the buildings in the distance.

"Is something on fire?" he asked, noticing all of the smoke. He could also hear some commotion...But he didn't know what it was all about.


The Ritz

Kanna came out of the bathroom, make up looking wonderful but putting a confused expression on her face. She looked around for the man she had come in with, suddenly spotting Samuel.

"What happened?" she asked, coughing a bit into a napkin she was holding. "Why is there smoke?"

Hawkin's Home

While it was quite a bit away Melanie had heard something had happened down broadway. The radio was even giving short reports on what had possibly happened.

"Darling, come here.." She said with a little frown.

Musashi blinked as Adrianna took his arm. He wasn't used to that sort of thing... and neither was Nanami, who it seemed was already reaching for some sort of sharp stabbing instrument for puncturing Adrianna's kidneys.

“I-It's fine, Nanami-san! These two ARE Sensei's students...” Musashi spoke up, knowing how seriously Nanami took her job.

Nanami didn't say a word; but she did put the ice pick back up her sleeve. Yes, Nanami has ice picks up her sleeves. Don't ask me how it works.

“Well, I suppose in your language, yes, I would be a Prince...”

[Broadway Coffee House]

Just as Sama began to contemplate the idea of mass bombings in the city, he gear the girl's voice go quiet, and he looked out the window. Smoke was rising? Could it just be a coincidence...

But no, now people were starting to run, and there were terrified and confused screams.

The boy jumped to his feet. He wasn't an actual cop, and he did not carry a gun... but Sama couldn't stand by and do nothing!

“... Well Miss. Rose, I hate to say it, but those reports look right. I'm going to try to find the culprit – call for backup!”

The boy put his fedora back on, and hurried out of the coffee house!

Was that...an explosion?

"I'm sorry, did you hear that?" Didymus asked, looking outside.

Smoke was rising.

I have a bad feeling about this...

"Maybe I should go check it out..."

Adrianna's eyes seem to light up as Nanami confirmed her suspicions. She looked back the girl, giving her a 'ha ha' kind of look.

"So what are you? His attendant or something?"

Broadway Coffee House

"Uhh o-okay!" Crystal exclaimed, rushing out of the coffee shop and heading to a nearby payphone (they have those right?!). She stood inside for a moment before rushing back out without even making a call. She was sure they would get there on her own, she didn't want to miss any of the action!

She hoped she would be able to find Sama in all of this commotion!

Nanami narrowed her eyes, glaring at Adrianna. It was time to teach this girl a thing or two.

“... I am his excellency's personal bodyguard and kunoichi. I come from a long line of ninja who have served the Imperial family for centuries. My family has perfected the most potent and dangerous forms of martial arts, assassination skills and armed combat that has ever come from Japan. My clan dedicates their LIVES, from the moment of BIRTH, to protecting the royal family... and to insuring that the royal family has the best interest of Japan at heart. Should a Imperial ever turn their back on the people... it is our duty to assassinate them.”

Yup. Nanami's job is to keep Musashi alive... unless he turns into a jerk, in which case she's supposed to stab his face and throw him down a well.

“And my job also extends to killing those who would threaten his highness.” She added.

“That's enough, Nanami-san! You don't need to be so hostile.” Musashi frowned.

[The Ritz]

Sama had run towards the burning building. He paused as he reached the alley and looked around. His mind, while a bit eccentric, was perfectly attuned for detective work. He looked down at the ground, spotting the remains of some kind of bag, and scorch marks on the wall...

“Someone left a bomb here...” He frowned.

[…]

Rica had run into the Ritz, his gun in hand, but his hand in his jacket. He was looking around for someone.

While Nanami's speech was very intimidating Adrianna didn't seem worried. She looked up at the other girl and grinned a bit. "A bodyguard eh? Sounds like an interesting job? Tell me, what have you actually protected him from?"

She then smiled at Musashi "Don't worry about me, I may be small but I can fair quite well in battle...Surely you could protect yourself though? You look more than capable."

The Ritz

Crystal was trying to get some answers from the various people running around...But it didn't seem possible. Everyone seemed much too panicked.

It even seemed as if the fire station was now here. She groaned, afraid she wasn't going to get the chance to see what caused this...

[...]

"EH you!" one of the fire marshals exclaimed to Sama "You aren't allowed out here! It's dangerous!"

Nanami narrowed her eyes, and stepped forward. She lifted up her shirt, revealing a rather gigantic scar on her stomach.

“Do you see this scar? Do you have any idea how I got this? Someone attempted to stab his excellency with a sword... I knocked him aside, was impaled through the stomach, and then proceeded to cut the throat of the would-be assassin. I killed a man while there was a sword stabbed through my stomach.”

Musashi just sighed, rubbing his head. He shook his head... somehow, Nanami always seemed to want to do this... the girl actually enjoyed showing off every now and then.

“I AM more than capable. I'm a soldier... a Captain in the Imperial Navy! And trust me, I didn't get that job because of my royal title.” He chuckled a bit. “But... my dad wouldn't let me travel across the world without Nanami at my side.”

[The Ritz]

Sama frowned a bit. “I realize it's dangerous! I happen to be a detective who frequently works with the police department! I'm here to start my investigation into what happened!”

Sama actually hadn't technically been hired, and despite being close to the police, he wasn't an actual cop. He just hoped this guy would listen to him.

Aaron sighed, stepping forward as it looked like his sister and Nanami would fight. That battle would not end well.

“Ummm...our dad did something like that once...” Aaron said, attempting to defuse the situation, “Only he was shot...and he tore the guy's arm off...It...was kinda awesome...”

-Streets-

“Oh my, you don't think people are hurt, do you?” Erin wondered, looking towards Jason, “Maybe we should go help!”

Erin, wanting to help people? Blasphemy!

-Hawkins' House-

“What is it?” Galv wondered, wandering over to Melanie, frowning, “Is something wrong...?”

-The Ritz-

“Looks like an explosion,” Samuel told Kanna, “Don't worry, you'll be safe with me.”

He put his arm around Kanna, trying to lead her out of the building, “Come on, we need to get you out of the smoke!”

Nanami paused, raising an eyebrow. While this girl was annoying, the boy wasn't so bad.

“Is that so? Well... that's quite impressive.” Nanami smirked.

[The Ritz]

As he ran through the crowd of smoke and fire, Rica frowned. There were no obvious signs around of foul play... he paused, then, as he thought he noticed someone moving in the crowd.

It looked like it was someone who he once knew, but that was impossible.

She nodded, bit her upper lip, and stood up as well. Her facial expression read "I'm coming too."

Hawkins' House

Melanie turned when Galv came in, but quickly motioned back to the radio which was already announcing the explosion as some sort of terrorist attack.

"Someone left a bomb in Broadway" she explained, looking worried. She was suddenly very glad her children were home safe...

Yeah right.

The Ritz

"An explosion? Oh dear!" Kanna exclaimed between coughs, rushing through the smoke with Samuel. She wondered if she had managed to kill anyone.

Old Man Sensei's

Adrianna grinned at Nanami "See while you come from a clan of servants we come from a family of people who could crush you with their pinky."

That was probably a challenge. Too bad Adrianna wasn't quite as skilled as she was letting on. While she was exceptionally strong the girl hadn't spent much of her life focusing her skills and training.

Streets

"Come on, let's take a look" Jason said, leading Erin toward the trouble (good husband move there). The building that had been blown up was now on fire and several ambulances were around, tending to injured people.

The Ritz

The Fire Marshal eyed the man...Then did a double take. "You're that kid who's always making the agency look like chumps aren't ya?"

Well Sama really wasn't a kid...But this Marshall was like fifty.

"You better be careful, the building is liable to come down on ya. Six people have already been found dead"

“Ack, Adrianna, we're not suppose to reveal that...” Aaron said, frowning. “Besides...ummm...”

Aaron paused, growing quiet. He was much stronger then his sister, since he had been training and working on his skills for his entire life. Aaron was arguably the strongest person (physically) on the planet.

“It's nothing, really!” Aaron said, “We're just...a little stronger then usual...”

-Hawkins House-

“Oh no...” Galv said, then hurried for the door, running outside. He wasn't running to the bomb site, but after a few minutes came back, carrying Blake, who had been outside playing.

Which consisted of sitting on some steps ad staring at passer bys and creeping them out.

“I didn't want him to go wandering off...” Galv said, “Now Blake...go get your sister. She's in her room.”

Blake nodded, then headed up the stairs.

Galv turned back to Melanie, frowning, “Do you think maybe we should see about helping...?”



Upstairs, Blake stared at Joyce's door. He simply tried to open it, then frowned, finding it locked. The boy paused, then stared at the doorknob. After a moment, he opened the door, stepping in.

“...Joyce?” Blake called out. She wasn't here...and her window was open...

-The Ritz-

“We'll be fine...” Samuel said, as he got the two of them out of the smoke, frowning.

“Maybe it's just like the Maine...an accident...” Samuel frowned, talking to himself, “Well then...this simply puts a damper on our day...”

-Streets-

Erin frowned, looking at the fire. She closed her eyes, focusing, as the wind picked up slightly, swirling around towards the fire, working on putting it out.

“My brother would be better at this then me...” she muttered softly.

“Brute strength? Please...” Nanami rolled her eyes, obviously less than intimidated by Adrianna.

“Brute strength is nice and all, but it's also easily countered. The strength to move an entire mountain means little with the right poison in your veins. The power to punch through solid steel is useless when your artery has been cut, and your blood leaves you. The strength to--”

“Okay, seriously, can we stop?” Musashi stepped in between the two Vire children and the very proud bodyguard. “The entire purpose of my journey here is to PREVENT conflict, not start it.”

[The Ritz]

Sama grinned to the fire marshal and stepped forward, bowing and taking off his hat.

“That's exactly who I am. Don't worry, though. I'll be careful. Can't be worse than the time I was locked inside a burning car...”

Sama's had an interesting life.

"Whatever you say prince" Adrianna said with a slight smile, turning from Nanami and standing beside Musashi. "How about I show you around New York, while you tell me about Japan"


The Ritz

The fire marshal blinked, hoping what Sama had just said was a joke. "I don't really want to have to transport any more dead bodies, so be careful!" he called out.

Meanwhile Crystal was having a bit harder time getting past the fire fighters. It was obvious that she wasn't as well known as Sama.

"Let me through!" she exclaimed "I need to cover this!"

The men shook their head and Crystal groaned.

"You don't get it! I have the clearance! Trust me!"


Hawkins House

Melanie bit her lip "We should...But the children...Perhaps we should stay out of it..."

Of course her mind will probably change once she realizes Joyce isn't around.

Streets

"Be careful darling" Jason said, kissing the woman quickly before leaving

Jason rushed into the chaos, attempting to help those who had been injured. He kept an eye on Erin from a distance...

[...]

"You know...You were very brave for saving me..." Kanna said, looking up at Samuel and slinking her arms around his neck. "Thank you very much"
