Once Tatsumi had come out of the warehouse, he looked surprisingly, calm, but you only needed to take one look at his eyes to see that he was doing everything he could to control the rage he felt at that moment.
"Alright, now that that's done, time to kill the girl." The yellow haired girl said, cracking her knuckles.
Aria tried to struggle to get away again, but Shobu responded to this by pulling tighter on the pole, choking her somewhat.
"Wait." Tatsumi said, his voice low.
The yellow haired girl turned to him, an eyebrow raised. "What, you still going to protect her?" She asked.
"No, because I'm going to kill her myself!" Tatsumi shouted, slashing his sword at Aria.
To everyone's surprise, Shobu turned the bar, blocking the attack, however, the yellow haired girl could tell just how easily Tatsumi would've killed Aria if Shobu hadn't done that, and was slightly impressed.
"What are you doing?" Tatsumi asked, his anger visible on his face.
"I have two questions." Shobu responded calmly. "First, how is Ieyasu? He wasn't looking so good this morning." Shobu asked.
Tatsumi froze, and glared at Shobu, still angry, but also intrigued. "He's... he just died, but how do you know him?" He asked.
"We're, ah, cellmates, I guess you could say, and I'm guessing you saw what happened to the girl, Sayo, right?" Shobu asked.
Tatsumi nodded, his fist clenching on the sword's handle as he once more sent a murderous look at Aria.
"Thought so, but back off, she's my kill." Shobu responded, snarling.
"But sh-" Tatsumi tried to say.
"She killed your friends, I know, but at least you didn't have to endure anything by her yourself, I've been in there for a month." Shobu said, this got the attention of the two assassins behind Tatsumi, who looked at each other incredulously. "And I've endured things you couldn't even dream of kid, now back off." He added.
Aria started to cry as she started pleading for someone to help her, but upon realizing that there was no help, well, her language turned much more colourful.
"YOU'RE ALL JUST ROTTEN PIGS ON THE COUNTRYSIDE! YOU SHOULD BE GLAD I EVEN BOTHER TO LOOK AT YOU YOU WORTHLESS LITTL- Ack!" Her words were cut off as Shobu pulled harder on the bar, choking her.
Aria started to gag as she tried clawing at the pole, but Shobu wasn't having any of that. "It's not what you deserve, but be happy I'm letting you have a quick death." He said.
Not a moment later, a loud snapping noise was heard, and Shobu let go of the bar, and as it fell to the ground, so too did Aria, lifeless.
She fell face down, thankfully, and Shobu let out a groan as he sat down on his butt. "Ugh, now what?" He asked himself.
"You could come with us, I've already made up my mind to take shit hair over here." The yellow haired girl said, jotting a thumb at Tatsumi. "Plus, we can possibly get that poison treated if you've really lasted a month with it in your body." She persuaded.
Shobu chuckled at the joke, before standing to his feet. "Thanks for the offer, but I'm fine, I'm just gonna go walk it off, I'll survive somehow." He said.
When he turned around, Leone's eyes widened, she quickly appeared next to Shobu, an arm wrapped around his neck in a friendly way. "Hey now, I didn't notice it at first because of all the dirt and dried blood, but we can tell you more about that mark on your upper back." She said.

Action"You sure this'll work?" Shobu asked, holding the rare ore in his hand, glancing at Okami, before hesitantly looking over at Esdeath, who was waiting patiently for them. "Yes." Okami responded, taking a heavy breath as he held up his own ore. "Alrig...
