Chapter 10: Business of Blood

Manji tried to count the shadows that loomed outside the shōji to gain some perspective. It was almost midday now, and outside of the room the hallway was bright, so seeing shadows was easier. Manji was thankful their room was dark. He had an advantage for once, which was highly unusual. Something didn't add up though, and he knew it. Why hadn't these people just barged in already? He was getting impatient. "I've had enough of this waiting bullshit." He thought, "If they don't move soon I will."

Just then Manji heard movement outside and low voices.

"Is she in there? Where is she? The boss said just her. He'll follow her."

"It's too dark in there. I can't see a damn thing."

"Shut up, you idiots. The mission is supposed to go without a hitch. That's why we were sent."

Manji glared at the shōji. Three huh, that would be easy enough. Just as the shōji was slowly being opened, a heavy gust of wind blew open the covering of the window and it startled Rin. She yelped and a loud call came from outside the room.

"Quick she's in there! Get her! Now! Go!"

The shōji flew open and the first man barged into the room, to Manji's awaiting blades. The sound of steel clashing echoed in the room and down the hall.

"He's here too! The 'Hundred Man Killer' is here!" Quickly get the girl!"

"Like fuck you're laying a hand on her!" Manji's roars were heard high above the sound of the invader's sword and Manji's shido clashing. Rin stared wide eyed at the scene before her, not moving. Manji and the man who entered the room were clashing, fighting, duelling for control of the battle. The other men were blocked at the shōji by the two men now staring down each other through their opposing blades.

"Get to her anyway you can you idiots! Go through the wall!"

Rin shook herself from her state of shock and panic and threw the sheath protecting her sword to the floor. She had to be ready, ready for anything. She could hear the men in the hall yelling at each other as they barged through the paper wall, "Hold him there Shotori-san, we will get her!"

"Dammit, get back Rin!" Manji yelled.

Rin stepped further back but still held her sword ready. Manji flung himself backwards into the room to guard Rin. "You dirty assholes ain't layin' one fucking finger on MY woman!" He spat at the three men now standing in the room, swords ready.

"We will see about that 'Hundred Man Killer'." The first man retorted then leapt at Manji, his sword slicing through the air.

Manji easily dodged with a sidestep and a quick flash of one of his shido to his side to block the attack. The second man came barging at him, teeth bared, while the third charged for Rin. Manji quickly swung around to block the oncoming assault with both shido now and yelled at Rin, "For fuck sakes get out of here woman!" then he leapt forward to face both of his attackers.

Rin wasn't moving however, she was determined and was sure she was prepared for her attacker. He came at her with malice. She knew they were after her, but she had no time to argue with herself why. The whirl of steel clashing reverberated in her ears as her sword crashed against her assailant's. She was thrown back into the wooden beam behind her however, when the man before her used his force to thrust her backwards. Pieces of wood flew around her as she hit the beam with intense pressure. Splinters scattered in her hair and on her clothing. She panted for air as the wind had been knocked from her lungs.

"Be careful you fool! We want her alive! She's no good to us dead!" The first assailant yelled at the man who had attacked Rin, and the other man simply nodded.

"Rin!" Manji's anger was now in full heat. He charged at both men facing him, and they swung around to try to take him from both sides. From his left he caught the sword coming at him between the blades of his shido, but he was not able to block the second attack from his right in time and was sliced deep from his shoulder down into his abdomen. He spat out blood onto the floor and groaned in pain. Rin looked in terror as Manji fell down to the floor. Then the second attacker fell to the floor, Manji's other shido lodged deep into his collarbone as his blood poured out onto the tatami beneath.

"Manji-san you meant to..." Rin thought, but before her thoughts could finish she fell to the floor, weak and vision blurring. She was dizzy from the pain of being thrust into the wooden beam, her head had crashed against it and she could feel the blood trickling down the back of her neck. She felt her body tumble to the floor.

"That's it. Leave him. Grab her. Habaki-sensai has something planned for her."

Rin felt an arm wrap around her and haul her up. She tried to squirm in retaliation, but she was brought to her feet. Just then Manji stood up, holding his shoulder to the rest of his body, and looked at the two men still standing. One was on the far side of the room holding Rin and the other near the shōji.

"He's up, hurry up and get out of here!" The attacker near the shōji yelled out.

"You god damn dogs. I told you that you weren't going to touch her!" Manji spat blood onto the tatami, "Get your filthy hands off her now!"

"Stay back or the girl will suffer!" The man holding Rin now held a dagger to her collarbone. To make his point clear he slowly cut a thin slice into Rin's flesh. Blood seeped from the wound, slowly trickling down the curves of her chest. "Such a pretty thing isn't she, wouldn't want to scar her. Now stay back."

Just then Manji noticed Rin pulling something out of her right sleeve with little movement. A smirk grew in the corner of his mouth. At least she wasn't totally down for the count yet.

Rin slowly began to tug at a large wooden splinter that had entwined itself in her sleeve. She swallowed hard as she tried to ignore the throbbing pain in the back of her head, and the feeling of fresh, warm blood trickling down her chest. She was able to free the splinter and closed her eyes. Without any hesitation she swung her right arm in an upwards thrust over her left should and lodged the splinter into her assailant's face. She didn't care where on his face just as long as it hit. When the man threw her away from his body in an angry hiss she knew she had hit him. She toppled to the floor and grabbed for her sword again.

The man threw Rin down to the floor and was holding his eye; the splinter between his fingers, blood seeping from the wound, "You filthy little whore, you little bit..."

As soon as Rin was free Manji lunged forward at the man who had held her captive and thrust his second shido into his gut and pulled it out quickly after. Blood spurted from the wound, but before the man had time to react Manji was already shoving the shido back into the man's body. This time into his heart. As soon as he did this he heard the sound of splattering blood and severed body parts near the shōji. He turned around to see a figure in the doorway, sword drawn and covered in blood; the final assailant's head rolling on the floor before him, his body slowly tumbling down.

Rin looked up to see Washi standing in the doorway, the final intruder dead at his feet, headless; she shuddered. She then looked over to Manji who was also staring at Washi. She felt another cold chill as she saw his eyes widen when Washi, eyes cold, stepped over the dead body and entered the room.

"Rin-chan are you alright?" Washi's eyes started to return to their usual concerned look but with more flashing behind them this time, "I heard the commotion and thankfully was able to make it here before..."

"I had it handled brat." Holding his shoulder to his body again. Manji didn't like how Washi was looking at Rin. He knew that look all to well; desire.

Washi ignored Manji and stepped past him to Rin. He helped her up and held her to his body, thankful she seemed mostly unharmed.

"Get your hands off her before I remove them for you." Manji growled his warning, "and Rin the next time I tell you to run, get y'er ass movin'!"

Rin backed away from Washi and thanked him, "Arigatou Washi-chan. I...I am indebted to you for your help." She bowed.

"Rin-chan please do not bow to me." Washi lowered his hand to Rin's chin to force her to stand. His eyes met hers as she stood and he smiled, "I simply came to make sure you were safe."

"Arigatou." Rin's voice was soft, and she was blushing from still having Washi's hand on her chin.
