   ". . .Let's go." Masaru says, ending the conversation.

   I sweat drop, yeah he hates me.

   We head North for a few more hours in silence. I guess they were going to stop for the night before, but the damn traders ruined that. Now I have to wait until they stop again.

   Eventually it's daybreak and they stop. Tsuyoshi passes water through the bars to me. I want to ask if they'll allow me out, but don't want to clue them in to me wanting to escape now.

   Because the lock was broken by Kin the cage is only held shut by rope. I'm sure they figure if they're constantly watching they can stop me from untying it, but neither of them have slept since they captured me. They will fall asleep, that's a definite.

   Down the path horse hooves pounded the ground. Masaru guides our horses and the wagon to the edge of the path so they can pass easily.

   The horse walk by easily. Those people sicken me, they should think I'm a slave, but they do nothing. How can people think this is okay? I glance over to see them. People who do nothing are the same as those doing it. (Alya taught me that :)

   White, blue, yellow. Zen winks at me when we make eye contact, but just keeps riding by with Kiki and Mitsuhide in tow. I look away, obviously they have something planned, so I won't blow their cover.

   The hooves stop and I look to see they stopped infront of Tsuyoshi.

   "How much for the slave?" He asks them.

   "Not for sale." Tsuyoshi says firmly.

   "Hundred."

   "Not for sale."

   "Five?"

   "Not for sale."

   "Eight?"

   "Not for sale." I can tell Tsuyoshi is getting really irritated.

   "You drive a hard bargain, how about free?"

   "Huh?"

   "You took my aide, I don't see why I should have to pay for her back." Zen takes his sheathed sword and holds it at Tsuyoshi.

   Masaru took his short sword out the moment he realized who Zen was. Kiki jumps from her horse to take him on.

   I start to undo the ropes in the chaos. I jump out of the cage and look at the fights. Masaru looks as if he could over power Kiki. I never thought that would happen, especially when it's a sword fight.

   Tsuyoshi doesn't fight with weapons, so it seems Zen abandoned his sword for a fair fight. Mitsuhide just sits on his horse as standby. I can't do much to help, not as if Tsuyoshi would fight me now anyways, so I limp over to Mitsuhide.

   "Why are you guys here?"

   "We heard from a messenger you two were ambushed so we came to Tanbarun as soon as we could."

   "Is Obi okay?"

   "How do you think they tracked you?"

   I spin around and am met with Obi. He has  a bandage on his forehead and around his neck, but overall looks well.

   "Mr Obi, I was so worried about you. I'm sorry I couldn't get you help, I had to go with them."

   He starts laughing, "You worry too much, everything worked out so it's okay."

   The clashing of swords halted, Kiki was pushed away and Masaru starts walking over to us.

   "I let you go before, but what you did-" Masaru yells while trying to strike Obi.
