The bandit was starting to get tired. This girl was not worth the risk of getting mortally hurt. He turned back and headed up the mountain.
Katara turned back to see if the Bandit was still chasing her. Bad move. Her foot slipped, sending her sprawling down a ledge. She landed on her right arm. He wrist got caught in a fissure, and wouldn't come out. "Oh, no..." she said. She got away, and she blew it! "Hello?! Is anyone there?!" she called out down the mountain.
"I am having such a bad day... It's only morning and I've been kidnapped and fallen down a ledge. At least Kenshin said he loves me..." Katara said to no one.

Cicero saw the bandit group moving out of town. He was going to wake Macbeth, but he was more afraid of waking his master up rather than his master waking up to find his servant gone. Curiousity got the best of him, again; he followed the bandits.
By the time Cicero arrived, the bandits were gone. He wasn't sure where they had gone, but he found it strange to see a lone girl trapped alone. He walked over to the girl to where they could both see each other. He was left speechless after he saw who it was.

Kenshin awoke laying against a tree. The first person he seen was KC. "What are you doing here and where am I?" Kenshin said as he started to try to get up but failed. He noticed the dried blood all of his face. "Is there a lake near by to I can wash myself?"

LKatara saw the thief that had helped the general escape. "Ah... no, I can't do this right now!" she said, trying to wriggle herself free. "Yeow!" she yelped, her wrist twinging painfully.

KC looked at Kenshin. "It wasn't my idea to bring you along. I would of killed you but that one dirty Sacaen brung you along. The one with black hair."

"Sauske? What's going on. Why are we out here though?" Kenshin was finnaly able to stand up. He noticed he was unarmed.

Cicero was frozen as he stared at Katara. He didn't know what to do. He looked back at the area where Macbeth was, their camp, only about a quarter mile away.
This is the same girl Macbeth had-, Cicero thought.
He then stared back down at Katara. He felt sorry for the girl for what his master put her through and it looked as if good times never followed bad times, at least for her.
He knelt down, glancing back at where his camp was, and put his hand on Katara's wrist.
"You're gonna have to stop struggling, you know."

Hmm, my supplies are restocked and Kabold is rested, time to go back to Bulgar like Dave said. Dirk saddled up and rode off to the northeast, slowly.

"Ah, no... you're with him..." Katara said. The pain in her wrist was really weakening her. "...Please help me..." she pleaded.

"We need to hurry..."
Cicero tried to pull the girl free, but of course it didn't work. "crap, how would this happen?" he muttered. Cicero tried to pull gentally, but he was interrupted when a bandit from above jumped down and attacked him. This one was different then the oaf that was carrying Katara before.
The bandit swung vertically at Cicero and he dodged it with ease. The axe the bandit swung hit the ground hard, right next to Katara's hand which expanded the crack which Katara's hand was stuck, freeing her. Cicero rushed forth and slashed at the bandt's arm, successfully landing a blow. The bandit flinched a bit, but didn't seem like he was hurt too badly by the cut. He quickly reacted to the blow and grabbed Cicero by the and began to choke him.
Cicero dropped his sword but managed to kick it over to Katara.

Katara looked at Cicero. His face... the way his eyes were oriented, his skin tone... he looked Sacaen. Then the Bandit grabbed him, and his sword skidded over to her. She grabbed the sword with her uninjured hand. Remembering what she learned from her spar with Matis, she jumped behind the bandit and slashed Cicero free. The bandit swung at her, hitting her in the stomach. She recoiled back, but then sprung up and slashed at his other arm. The bandit finally gave up, and after hitting Katara to distract hr, he managed to escape. Katara way laying on the ground, barely holding on to conscienceness. "You... Thank you... You are a good Sacaen, why do you travel with that awful man?" she asked before she let go and lost conscienceness.

Cicero had to catch his breath again Cicero didn't know whether he was still a bit frightened or surprised that she figured out his orgin. He grabbed his sword back and sheathed it.
Should he leave her here? Did Cicero trust her? She was Sacaen, but he put that life behind him. He did the thing he was best at. He ran, ran all the way back to the camp where Macbeth still rested...or so he thought.

Macbeth saw Cicero return to the camp. Cicero nearly froze when he saw his master standing, wide awake. Macbeth had his arms folded and had a frown on his face.
Macbeth- "Cicero...where the hell have you been?"
Cicero thought about what he would say. Lie and be caught would result in a harsh punishment. But if he told the truth, not even he would know what would happen.
Macbeth- "Cicero! Answer me when I question you!"
Cicero gulped. He pointed towards the mountains.
Cicero- "I-I...there were some bandits travelling up the mountains and I thought I would investigate, sir." Macbeth made no reaction, just stared right back at Cicero and the two were silent for around a minute.
Macbeth- "Bandits? Good lord, why the hell would you follow them?"
Cicero- "I didn't want them attacking you while you were resting, sir." Macbeth sighed and shook his head. He muttered "idiot" a few times.
Macbeth- "Cicero do me a favor and don't do anything stupid anymore." Cicero's thoughts completely changed after his master told him this. What would happen to the Sacaen girl at the foot of the mountain?
Cicero- "Sir, if I may..."
Macbeth- "What do you want?"
Cicero- "I ended up defeating a bandit at the foot of the mountain who had some things of value on him. I...didn't take any but if he is still there I-" Macbeth interrupted him in his sentence.
Macbeth- "Just get out of here I can't deal with your cheap talk today." Cicero bowed a bit and rushed back to where Katara was.

"What way is town?" Kenshin asked KC. He pointed in the direction it was (OoC:Kinda pointless to wait for a small reply...) and Kenshin started to head towards town.
Sasuke:"Where do you think you're going?"
Kenshin looked towards him as he started to jog. "I'm unarmed, how can I expect to live without a weapon if I'm attacked?"
Sasuke caught up with him. "Then I shall go with you. Just to let you know some guy took your girlfriend and I came up here looking for him and had that guy bring you along so they didn't kill you back there."
"Thank you Sasuke." After a few minutes they got back to where they had their duel and Kenshin went inside and retreaved his broken sword. "Hopefully I can get this repaired."

Hargus seen this wounded man standing there alone. "Looks like somebody didn't finish the job on you. How about I do that for them? Haven't done that since that damn Sacaen back in Ostia. Only if it was his red headed friend." Hargus was leaning against a tree with his axe in one hand looking towards Macbeth.
OoC:Just to let you know Macbeth got 5 exp for fighting Kenshin so you can keep track of that on you're own...
