Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mika nodded, as she struggled to keep to her feet. Getting knocked against a wall generally made someone a little weak in the knees... and back... and sides. "Well then, Huo, or shall I call you Chichiri... an explination. Whether it be the will of Suzaku, or just dumb luck, you seem to have stumbled into the Mount Reikaku Bandit Camp. The particularly interesting part about this is, if you know anything about your destiny as a Celestial Warrior, the Priestess of Suzaku is currently here. Along with most of the warriors... myself included. My name is Mika, or the Suzaku Celestial Warrior Tasuki. The annoying pain in the a** over there," she said motioning towards Drive, "is my twin brother, Drive, or Hotohori."

Mika didn't notice it, but as she looked up at Tamahome to introduce him, she smiled softly. "The man back there is Sun Li, though more better known as Tamahome." Her eyes stayed on him for a moment, before drifting back to Huo. "I would show you my mark, but seeing as it would require me to stand on one foot so you could see it, I will refrain from doing so." She was having a bit of a problem standing, but she was doing her best to keep herself up. It wouldn't be good for the second in command to collapse. "In regards to your cat... it's interesting. I hope to hear him speak someday." She never actually expected the cat to talk. Afterall... it was just a cat.

Tamahome stayed in the doorway, but he raised his eyebrows when it came out the young woman was Chichiri. The only warrior they were missing now was Mitsukake. He wanted to go over that help Mika, she was limping and it angered him to think someone had hurt her. His eyes flickered over to the man that was sitting on the throne, with Hotohori's holy sword on his back. He frowned, he'd heard a fight had to occur for a boss to take back leadership, and he wondering if it had, and Tasuki had lost. He felt his heart sink, a sensation he hadn't felt since he was told his parents had died in a landslide 10 years ago. He placed his arm above his head, leaning on the doorway, his side stretching and his pants slipped of his hip enough to see the ogre symbol shining faintly, as he tried to keep himself from running over and ripping Hotohori's throat out for hurting his beautiful sister. He knew it had only been a question of honor amounst thieves, but for some reason, that didn't diminish his blood lust.

Lian shook her head in resignation but smiled. Just like Liang . . .

"Well, I'm glad you're enjoying it," she laughed. "And you're right. I haven't eaten like this in a while."

Her eyes flickered over to Riku for a moment, and saw a smile playing on his face too. Her happiness grew a little more, and she returned to eating.

He had been in the middle of conversing with Mika when Kyo came in. Drive smirked, looking at the man before him. He always did have fun dealing with the new bandits. As he pondered this, he nodded. "Very well. What makes you think you can cut it as one of the Mount Reikaku bandits?" Comparitively, Drive was more particular about the bandits he chose than Mika was. Not that he would ever tell her that. His eyes drifted over to said sister, to see what she was conversing about. Apparently the girl that had been brought in was another warrior... as was the man in the back. Though, for the moment, his mind was on this warrior before him.

He hadn't noticed his sister's tumble to the ground, until he heard her loud curses. Even then, Drive only caught the tail end of it... and the point. Wincing a little, he could see the blood welling up underneath his pants from the new stab wound on his leg. He already had four new marks on his arm, which he had neglected to ask her about. Drive really didn't need another stab wound. "Damnit, Mika... that hurt!"

Kyo just looked up at the man with a smirk on his face. "Well I was the head gaurd for the Konan Royal Army for awhile now, but that just wasn't interesting enough. I couldn't really express my full potential with them though. No one ever attacked. So I went and caused a few problems myself. Kutou is probably in an uproar about it as we speak." Kyo stopped for a moment to pop his neck. "You see I can be very defensive in a fight or extremly offensive. I do so love toying with people in a fight. If you would like to test my skill's give me some task to complete. Steal something, kill someone, set me in a fight against one of your best men. I don't care how you do it, but being a bandit would more suit my tastes over the royal army. I only joined them to help train myself and my abilities." Kyo rose and removed his cloak. His ribs were fully healed already and his ki had fully returned. "I'm at the top of my game now. I can handle anything you throw at me."

((It's alright. *smiles*))

Mika gave him a slightly embarressed look about how injured she was. From the way it felt, she had only broken a couple of ribs, and bruised the bones in her legs. Most of it was by being winded from smacking against Drive's sword... and being tossed against a wall. She actually was a bit more injured than she let on. "I'm not THAT badly hurt. I'm just got the wind knocked out of me." She gave him a small smile, as she favored her other leg, the one that she didn't stab. "The stab... well... I'll tell you about that one later." She had a lot of explaining to do. But, then again... it was Mika. She knew how to describe the situation.

Drive looks down at Kyo with a frown of disaproval. "Well that is a very interesting veiw into your way of thinking." Drive thinks for a moment. "Ok I'll give you a chance to prove yourself to me." with his face frozen in a mask of deathly seriousness he picks up two jugs of seriously stout wine from beside his chair. "drink both of these while standing on your head."
Drive Keeps his face as serious as he can evan though he wants to bust up.
