[yasashiioni]

How dare I...

[Alright, he's not going to step back here. He's only said the truth and he wasn't someone particular suspicious.]

If you are truly from the Kazama-clan you should know that.

[He's getting more serious and his sword touched Chikage's.]

Do you want a proof?

[thewonderstud]

[That was what bothered him. This shouldn't be possible. For all that Chitose said, Kazama remained holding his blade firmly as metal met metal.

His head tilted but a fraction of an angle, as much of a nod as he was about to give.]

I don't see how your claim can be possible. It's a dangerous thing to try impersonating an Oni, especially under the name that you claim.

[yasashiioni]

I'm not impersonating anyone. [And he liked to think that he was one of the best swordsman - or rather - the best swordsman between the oni.]

I'll show you what Chitose-sama is capable of. [He turns away from Chikage this time, his eyes wandering between the new incoming way of mysterious blue things while he wore a cocky grin on his face.]

Taa...! [And just like that, flames were gracing his sword as he swung it at the enemy.]

[thewonderstud]

[Kazama lowered his sword as Chitose stepped away, still eying the other distrustfully.]

-?!

[He hadn't expected the flames. Such a feat was something he'd only heard of from a time so long ago.]

[yasashiioni]

[The flames had made even shorter work of the blue somethings than his usual skills did.]

There, was that proof enough for you?

[After all, not every oni could do that and the oni from other clans had other skills.]

[thewonderstud]

[It was, but he hated to admit it. It still offered no explanation for how or why.]

I do not see how this is even possible.

[yasashiioni]

What do you mean by that? Who are you in the Kazama-clan anyways to question my authority?

[Though the name gave away he must be of rather high ranking.]

[thewonderstud]

[Way to punch him in the ego, Chitose. His brow twitched, if faintly. His grip upon his sword remained firm, but he kept from once again raising it against the other Oni for now.]

I am head of the Kazama clan, and strongest of the Oni of the West. The name of Chitose is not one unknown, but it has been centuries since he has been head of our clan.

[yasashiioni]

[Yeah, well, sorry, but Chitose does have his own ego and arrogance as well. Perhaps this might be their common family trait.]

Wait, what? Centuries? What do you mean by that? As you can see I'm standing right in front of you.

[thewonderstud]

[Probably.]

I know...

[A frown.]

...which is what bothers me all the more.

[His gaze slid away from Chitose, looking past.]

-perhaps we should deal with these pests before we speak any further. They seem quite persistent.

[yasashiioni]

Yeah, sounds good to me.

[He's putting his cocky grin back on his face. Well, that was at least better than to think he was dead for centuries now.

He plunges right back into the mass to get his day's work done.]

[thewonderstud]

[Snorting lightly, Kazama turned, leading with his blade as more of the pesky blue folk came around. Huh. The nerve of them trying to think they could surround them.

If there was any great difficulty, it was in that the creatures were so small. Reaching them took some effort, effort that the Oni didn't care to put forth, but felt that allowing himself to be overrun by them would just be far worse for his dignity.

He stooped slightly, just enough that a low strike from his blade could cleave through the foremost of the blue wave closest to him.]

[yasashiioni]

[Chitose jumped back to regain some of his energy. He used the time to watch that other head of the Kazama-clan.]

You're not doing too bad. Not as good as me, but...

[But decent enough. Decent enough to be his successor anyways.]

[thewonderstud]

[He forced a laugh, not quite rolling his eyes as he sent another score of the creatures flying.]

You're all talk.

[yasashiioni]

Do you want to fight againt me?

[Once they have finished this, of course.]

[thewonderstud]

You think you'd be worth my time?

[Although the idea of facing off against a former clan head- well, he can't say he's not curious as to how he'd measure up. If this guy is really who he says he is, of course.]

[yasashiioni]

I'm more than worth your time.

[And Chitose is curious as well. If Chikage was his descendant than he wanted to know who was the stronger of them.]

[thewonderstud]

Hnf.

[He snorted, seeming slightly amused.]

Once we're done here, we'll have to see.

[yasashiioni]

That sounds at least more interesting than cleaning up these.

[His sword flames up once again and he rushes back into the fight, setting a whole bunch of the mysterious beings on fire.]

[thewonderstud]

Anything would be more interesting than this. I doubt that exterminating these will even explain anything for where this is or what we're doing here, but-

[He smacks one with the flat of his blade, sending it careening across the clearing.]

-they've overstepped their boundaries.

[yasashiioni]

Overstepped their boundaries, you say... I rather wonder why they are attacking us in the first place!

[He jumps back, his sword still pointing at the creatures.]

[thewonderstud]

[Kazama leaps back almost simultaneously, finding himself nearly back-to-back with Chitose.]

Tch. If it's because we're trespassing, then surely they could have approached things differently.

[He glares at the remaining creatures that start to surround them.]

[yasashiioni]

Perhaps that is how they handle things. Even if it wasn't our choice to be here to begin with.

[Chitose goes back to his cocky grin.]

Shall we see who finishes up most from the rest of them?

[thewonderstud]

A contest? Please. What a waste of time.

[Still, he seems to grasp his blade more tightly as he prepares to disperse of the remaining blue pests.</i.]

[yasashiioni]

You're scared of losing, admit it.

[Chitose does the same, though.]
