Macbeth and Cicero had stopped on the border of a small wooded area, a good distance away from the village, and decided to make that place their camp. The two did not speak as they made their way away from the village. Just as Cicero was making a fire, a fox ran by.
Macbeth- "Cicero, go catch that fox."
Cicero- "Sir?"
Macbeth snarled a bit and grinded his teeth. "I need to kill something."

As Katara was sitting just below the window, she heard two men talking. "So, we got the Bern Army comin' soon?" the first voice said. "Later, I hear. For now we can take this town with just the band of us," the second said. "Yar! We should start soon," said the first. "No better than the present, the rest of 'em are a-waitin for my signal," the second said braggingly." "So let 'em come!" the said said with lust. Katara heard a few bird calls from the area of the men, and then a few from far away. terrified, she muttered,
"no..."

"You know ever since we grew up you've been better then me, but now it don't look like it. Has falling in love softened you Kenshin? Where's that ruthless swordsmen that gained the respect from our master? All I see is a poor excuse for a man before me." Kenshin started to get angry. "Maybe you are better then me, but that doesn't matter to me any more. Also who says I'm in love? I just haven't been training as much as you. I've been more focused on throwing my life on the line just to kill one man, to advenge my tribe. The girl you just saw, if you harm her I'll make sure the last thing I ever do is kill you even if it means not getting revenge."
"Hahaha, you just said you weren't in love and now you're speaking as if you two are in love. What is it?" "To tell you the truth, I don't know but I'm sure it's not love right now. I vowed to protect her and a couple others with my life and that's one promiss I'm not going to break."
Kenshin took off at full speed at Sasuke. He spun as he got close and faked an attack and Sasuke fell for it lifting his sword up to block. As soon as Kenshin was faceing Sasuke he lunged forward stabbing him in the arm. Screaming in pain Sasuke swung his sword at Kenshin. It was blocked, both then started to swing and block each other's attack. Sasuke noticed something on Kenshin's sword.
He seen a hair line crack so he started to rush Kenshin with quick but weak blows then strong ones but slow ones. Most of the fast ones hit Kenshin and one of the stronger ones. Sasuke used his full force hitting Kenshin's sword where he's been concentraiting, breaking Kenshin's sword in half then knocking him on the ground.
Stumpbling to get up Kenshin raised his half of his sword up ready to keep on fighting. "My blade might be broken but I'm not giveing up."
"Damn it, I guess I wasn't able to convense myself to belive that I did really love her before. But if I did was that my limits? If I couldn't beat Sasuke how could I defeat Hargus.?"
Sasuke put his sword away. "You might not love that girl but she truely loves you. I also seen what happened before so I know you wasn't at your best so it wouldn't count as a win this time. You've given me another reason to be envus of you. You've found somebody that you're probly going to be with for the rest of you're life. I can't find anybody close enough to good enough for me."
Kenshin dropped the remains of the sword as he feel on the ground. He had passed out. He layed there as Sasuke walked to the door and unlocked it. "It's a shame, I could of beat you too. But next time I'm going to make sure it's an even fight." He then left the building leaveing Kenshin laying there.

Macbeth cleaned off the blood of the fox from his lance. Cicero had been preparing a meal (the fox). He continously made a quickl glance or two over at Macbeth, who had just noticed this behavior. He let out a deep sigh.
Macbeth- "What is it, Cicero?" Cicero paused a bit but finally stopped what he was doing. Cicero- "Master I believe that you-you...you're going to get yourself into too much trouble one day. You could have been killed, you know?" Macbeth glared at Cicero. Macbeth- "Silence Cicero I wish to rest for now and speaking of that matter will only make things worse. Continue preparing the meal and then we can heal this wound. Cicero- "Yes master..." And so the servant prepared the meal and gave Macbeth the larger share, while Cicero received bits and pieces from the fat of the fox.
After the meal, Cicero rushed to get water in order to heal Macbeth's wound. He returned with a wet towel that he had been carrying. Macbeth painfully removed his armor and undershirt and Cicero gently pressed the towel against Macbeth's wound and also washed most of the dry blood off from his lower back. The two didn't say anything at all, except for Macbeth telling Cicero that he was pushing too hard or not hard enough.
When Cicero finished cleaning the wound, Macbeth put his undershirt back on. "Cicero we can only let the wound heal on its own now. I need to sleep. You can...keep watch. But be prepared to leave in the morning, we are to head to eastern Lycia.
Cicero unsteadily nodded. Macbeh rolled over and closed his eyes.

Katraa heard conversing in the warehouse, and then the crack of breaking metal. She thrust her sword into the wall again, wanting to investigate the noise. Asa she jumped up, she stopped in midair. "Huh?" she muttered. "You ain't goin nowhere, missie," a voice said. Horror ran through Katara's mind as she figured out who it was. One of the bandits. A hand clapped over her mouth and she was dragged to the ground. He captor was a burly man, one with an axe strapped to his back. He took out some rope and tied her hands behind her back. "You're a keeper," he said. Katara managed to rip her mouth free, screaming, "Kenshin! Anyone, help!" Then she felt the sting of leather-wrapped metal on her head. Then dark.
No one saw the man carrying the young woman off to a nearby mountain. They were too busy trying to avoid being killed by the vicious bandits that were invading their peace.

Sasuke had heard a female's voice scream and looked around. He seen a shadow move off into the darkness of the night. He had seen a man with a green bandana on his head. "You there go off in the direction and chase that man. If you do I'll make it worth your time." "I can't let Kenshin's girlfriend be taken off like that. I can't just leave him in there like that either." Sasuke had gone to get Kenshin's body and carried it with him.

Carring Kenshin's body with him had slowed Sasuke down. After a little bit he seen the man he had asked for help from before standing around looking confused about where to look. "Where is he? Here you carry him while I'll look." Sasuke had set Kenshin's body down then started to look for any signs of the man who ran off with Katara. "This guy is good at escapeing, I'm haveing troubles finding him."

"That's him. That's the guy who I met when that ship showed up. I even tried to get him killed. I guess he's truely good at fighting, some body who could help me defeat my parent's killers." "What the hell happened to him and why are we helping him anyways? But by 'make it worth my time' what did you mean?"

Katara's felt like someone had hit her head with a metal Hammer. She remembered that someone did. She could not yet grip conscienceness, yet she could keel the pain from the bandit's blow. She gave up trying, she needed to rest. some warrior you are a voice like hers said from inside her. What are you talking about? Katara asked. You freaked out the first time Kenshin got a bit hurt, and now this. You tried to help Kenshin and you just got yourself captured. Just like always. I bet he doesn't even like you Shut... up. I need to get back. Leave me alone...

The other voice had stopped. Now Katara could look for a way out. She wandered around in the darkness, looking for any place that looked different from the rest. She found two eye-shaped lights. "huh, that's easy," she said, running her hands on the lights. They went dark. Katara stopped moving. Well, she couldn't' move. Everything went dark again...
She was moving. Going up. She opened her eyes. The real world was around her, but she was moving up a mountain without moving. She looked at her waist, there was an arm around it. "Ah! Hey!" she yelled, remembering that it was a bandit's arm.

Sasuke didn't care, he kicked in the door. He seen a scared woman who screamed when he kicked in the door. "I'm so sorry mam. There's a man running around here with a woman in his arms, have you seen them?" the woman shook her head and Sasuke took off again. "Damn it I can't belive I was mistaken."

The man panicked, and in his surprise dropped Katara. She landed on a ledge not far down. "Hey!" the bandit said. "Can't catch me!" Katara yelled, jumped down from ledge to ledge to get back to the village. She needed to get her swords. They were still stuck in the wall.
OoC: you know theres bandits attacking everywhere, right? by the way, i knew uyou were going to make a Sasuke alt. Call me intuitive or not, but I knew. =P

Katara found climbing down difficult. Especially since she was jumping down and not climbing. One slip and she would be thrown into space... The bandit was having a harder time. He was bulky and not as agile at Katara, and could not balance and land as easily. "being a girl has it's advantages!" she said to him. For some reason, this chase felt more like a childhood game.
