Soldiers of Light, ch. 1: "Here we go again"

The man's flaming sword was most certainly magical. That was good. He'd blocked the gunman's shot, as well. That was better. He was getting close, now. Almost close enough to strike. His naginata would take too long to draw for this, he'd have to use his sword. If he could keep the man talking for another minute, that would be enough. Hmm. But what to say? It didn't have to be convincing; just not immediately obvious. He cleared his throat. "I was told to come here," he said in a gravelly voice, "that there was to be a meeting."

Izuko watched Suzume sulk off with Yojimbo's water, and was about to go console him when his attention was taken by the new stranger that was approaching. He didn't like the look of this new man, and he couldn't even see a face that he may or may not recognize. He also ignored Sulran and Yojimbo's warnings without breaking his stride. The man was either very confident or very stupid. Regardless he was getting too close for comfort, and something about his vague answer set off a warning bell in Izuko's mind. Preparing for the worst Izuko withdrew Shirogane, holding the kama handle in his left hand and the loops of chain in his right.

"I think that's close enough there," Izuko called out. "We wouldn't want you within striking distance before we know who you are. If you come any closer I won't hesitate to disarm and restrain you before finding out how you know about this meeting."
