"I mean, I'll only hit him if he resists." You say begrudgingly. "Also put a shirt on." You remind him.

"Oh, yeah." He says looking down, "Go do your thing. I gotta get dressed." He waves as he heads back inside, "See ya."

You put your hands on your hips, adressing the icy street with your usual guarded expression. It's really hot today and you can't help but move one of your hands to shield your eyes from the sun. "Well then, if I was a lecherous perverted old man. Where would I be?" You ask yourself.

Maybe he's hungry. I mean if he wanted to see some harlots, why would he harass poor Mira if he could go to the brothel. You set off in that direction which would be to the East.

Right?

No-no the food is all in the centre which from the main street is East. Yes. You're sure it's East.

Beginning walking you kick up dust with every step in your determined and focused march. For the first hour you believe you're heading to the right place. The second hour you about face and furiously stomp back to the centre of town.

On the third hour you see what looks to be a long wooden bar surrounded by several stalls. A man so scarred that he looks to have bathed in razor blades chops at meat with swift and precise stroaks while a balding man wearing what appears to be thick sunglasses devours bowl after bowl of the raw fish.

You lay a hand on his shoulder and take the stoool alongside him with a grip and tone that says, "you don't have a fucking choice" - "Hey Old Man, why don't we have a talk?"

His tongue practically falls out of his mouth in his haste to make you welcome, "Well I ain't never going to say no to a date with a fiery lady like yourself!" He shouts.

"Right." You seethe.

"Now what can I do fer you hot stuff. You just call me Ishi." He says patting your leg, "Or Daddy." He adds.

You close your eyes and inhale.

You smile.

Which sets his heart a flutter to the extent that he doesn't see you clench your lright hand and bring it around into his left cheek with authority. Ishi's skul is rattled at the impact from your knuckles and then the dark wood.

He slumps to the floor as if he were liquid, whining as he rolls on the dusty dirt.

Meanwhile you order yourself a drink from the grizzled man.

"I'll give it to the winner." He croaks at you in a surprisingly high pitched voice.

An iron grip clenches aorund your wrist and you're flipping in the air.

Ishi has taken up a combat stance, some kind of martial arts, Jackie Chan tomfoolery. He faintly glows white-blue as his foot comes up into the air. "I think you'll be paying for that Missy."

"You've already-" You begin.

He's gone and your legs have been swept with a low kick. You gasp and roll to the side, Ishi letting you roll away to proper spacing, "Committed more than one-" He's just standing there with a big smile, but out the corner of your eye you see a fist coming in and manage to get an arm up to block it. But that's impossible! No man can be everywhere at once.

"So ah, what's going on here?" Ishi asks as you stagger out of your parry, one of the lecher's fingers scratching his cheek.

"The elder demanded you face justice." You say still bewildered at what just happened.

"You an' what army?" He says.

"My fists and sword." You retort.

He drops low into another stance, "Then let's see what yer packin besides those tits hot stuff." He beckons you on, suddenly his goofy grin gone, "Come."

You attack with a series of jabs that test his range, you outstrip him by a good few inches so naturally this should give you the best chance of victory.

But the short little pervert doesn't even take a step back, simply moving his palms in the way of your strikes with uncanny accuracy and certainty.

"Damn it!" You shout as you swing for his head.

The old man leans back supporting himself on one foot and extends his over foot to kick you in the tomach. You're also 80% sure his eyes were on your kimono's chest when he delivered that casual lean back kick. The sheer precision with which it delivers wrecks your balance and sends you backward a couple steps.

"Disapointing." He says when you resettle.Drawing a line with his foot at his current spot he steps in front of it. "You will win if you push me behind this spot."

"Don't pity me pervert." You spit.

"I'm not." He explains putting his hands behind his back. "I'm teaching you."

"What?"

"If you want to be another dumb brute then feel free to ignore my words." He counsels. "But I ask, where does your strength come from?"

"My belief in God." You answer immediately.

"Interesting answer." He says stroking his beard. "It's wrong. But still interesting."

Anger must show in your expression because he holds a hand up in a placating gesture to you, explaining as he beckons you forward, "I don't mean strength as in resolve." You resettle into a guarded stance not wanting to leave an opening for him to exploit, "I mean how is a dead woman fighting? How is a dead man stronger than the dead woman?"

"I don't know." You confess.

"Think about it while we spar."

"DEUS VULT" You roar as you advance on him with two big haymakers. First right then left. He blocks both of them but you see him briefly frown on the second one.

You go low, aiming to weaken his core and bring him down to your mortal level, but he surprises you by bringing his knee up to block and balancing on one leg even when he blocks your attempted uppercut.

You step back before moving in again at a new angle throwing some probing horizontal punches and even mixing in a few attempted elbows in combinaiton with feints. As your assault begins to quicken in pace as you concentrate on technique, footing and maximising your power you begin to notice some things.

1: Ishi's skin is growing slightly, like a little cloud of white blue aorund him as he moves in opposition to you.

2: You're far stronger than you should be. Something about your instincts is flagging up all kinds of wrong with this fight.When you punch, you feel the force from your muscles transferring into Ishi's forearm, but you also feel a strange push alongside it. Like something is being launched at Ishi's arm alongside your strike only to be blunted by his glow.

A bead of sweat forms on Ishi's head.

You are a pulse, upon the air. The vibration of a single struck string. The soul of a once living woman.

Every mote of your present existense is just a ripple, created when God or Fate dropped a boulder into the waters of your past life.

So the power that lets you function, the power letting you exist is not physical, nor is it mental, nor is it a matter of will.

It is a matter of soul.

Closing your eyes; you focus on the little fragments of that power that race through you, pulling together all the little flecks of dust together into one solid object. In your mind's eye this "soul power" is like a million shards of metal, rent and broken from your death.

You are a lost soul. A soul denied your rightful place at His side. But with sentience, you have the chance to do good in the afterlife. To spread His word and help others.

You gather the pieces together slowly.

"Good." Ishi says appreciatively and simply.

You don't open your eyes, instead you envision yourself from your dream. Held in plate as tight as a husband's embrace, striding through Hellfire to bring punishment to the wicked.

This power will be your plate.

You clench your fist and your hair stands on end, you feel that you're whipping up a slight breeze as the very air.... No. This whole place is made of this soul power stuff

The very air reacts to your awakening.

Opening your eyes you see a look of profound concentration on your... foe? Master? Ishi. Your Ishi's face. He is glowing blue white and he seems to have grown in stature to stand a respectable hight.

Your own six three towers over him still, but he has technique and experience.

Dropping into a fighting stance you note that your fists are glowing red. As opposed to Ishi's more compressed glow, your soul power is a red coat of fire that bends and flickers as you struggle to keep consistensy.

You feel stronger. Faster.

"I will push you past that line now." You warn, cracking your knuckles.

"I wont make it easy." Ishi answers.

Remembering the time you seemed to just appearwhere you needed to be in the woods, you step forward while pushing yourself with your soul power.

Ishi's eyes can't track you as you seem to disapear and just reappear with your fist in his gut. Injecting some stank into the punch courtesy of your soul power the old man is lifted off his feet into the air.

Your follow up is swift, efficient and cruel. Pulling back your left hand, you deliver an overhand hook that drive him into the ground where he drags across the dirt and flips over into the sushi bar head first with an audible thunk.

You can practically see the cartoon stars twirling around his head as you retake your seat and pick up the bowl of alcohol. "Cheers." You say to Bartend Von Scarzalot, downing the bowl in one long take as if it were a shot or something.

"Am okay." Ishi slurs.

"No. You're coming with me." You politely remind him while waiting on what is probably a minor concussion to settle.

With a sigh you thank the bartender, remembering this spot as somewhere to return to, the cup alcohol being a lot better than you expected. Dragging Ishi in the dirt is no hard feat, even after the previous excercise. But Mary Mother of Jesus your stomach is grumbling.

Seriously you haven't felt this hungry in a long long time, or so you feel. Considering you're a soul why would you get hungry, didn't Inpu tell you earlier you wouldn't get hungry and that eating was a luxury?

Then again, maybe it's something to do with soul power... maybe it's like energy in life? Eating replaces it?

That makes sense.

You've been walking for a while, in fact you're back on the market street that leads to the Elder's house.

You are then blindsided and put on your ass. Something large and black tumbles with you and you find yourself staring up at the cloudless blue sky, the air driven from your lungs temporarily.

"OI WHY ARE YOU LYING IN THE STREET YOU USELESS ANIMAL!?" Someone screams from one of the nearby stalls.

Beginning to rub your head you prop yourself up on your elbows and take in the sight of a goatman, in a now dust covered tuxedo. The creature is intimidatingly buff and the sound of furious arguing from the direciton he was summoned makes you think his employer indeed hired him for his mass rather than brains.

"Madam I must ask that you forgive my clumsy nature and also the rude manner in which I must depart." He says, prostrating himself on the ground, "Please remember that I, Gura Marikashi owe you apologies."c He apologises smoothly.

"Uh." IS all you manage before he gets to his feet and begins hurrying as best he can at his size toward the stall where a squat fat man is arguing with one of Sakahone's flower salesmen.

"Well at least he was nice about it." You mutter as you brush down you rob- "kimono" and begin to drag Ishi to the elder hut.

The long trench you have dug with his skull is probably going to be some boon to the village, what with the lack of water sometimes the trench will catch rian perfectly.

Yeah that's what you'll say if Hidoi asks.

Though when you knock on the door to the Elder house there is no answer. Here you are with a prisoner to be dealt justice by the elder and you have no elder to dispense justice.

You guess that there isn't much to do but wait. So you sit, crossing your legs in the shade of that fruit tree that Hidoi mentioned in the yard.

Ishi is kind of insatiate in a heap at your side and you really can't do much except take in how pretty this little slum is. Everyone is wearing their smiles and the sun beating down upon the sandy, dusty, dirt road - you spy Mira sneaking a grape behind her husband's back.

Two grumpy men sit on the porch of one of the weird paper houses, a pipe being passed between the two with such practiced ease that they must have some kind of routine with it.

The day is simply lengthening with every single blink, the waves of heat still reach you despite your relative comfort.

"Hey Suka. How's it hanging?" Upside down Inpu asks as he hangs from a thick tree branch by his legs.

"Oh yeah. Was waiting for Hidoi, started climbing." He scratches behind his ear still upside down.

"You seem happy Inpu. Good catch in the forrest?" You politely ask.

"Well no. I actually went back to-" He acorbatically flips off the branch and lands in a cloud of dust to your left, "where you killed that monster."

Suddenly your voice is serious, "I hope you were careful."

He impishly grins at you rubbing his nose between thumb and forefinger, "I was. I found something interesting too."

Your mind flashes back to the intervention of Mimihagi, the way that beast just disintegrated, "Which was?" You question amongst mounting tension.

Nothing." He says as if this is some grand accusation.

"See this guy, is a guy that knows something." Inpu says punching him on the arm in brotherly display of affection.

You hit him in the face.

"AHHH right in the same spot Suka- damn!" He continues to whine and complain while Ishi explains.

"Well the capital trains these monster killers called - well doesn't matter. I was training to be one a few centuries back - it's how I know what I taught you." He explains getting up and snapping all his bones in sequences in a practiced method that makes it look like he's trying to touch his toes with his interlocked hands.

"And why aren't you one of these sword wizards then?" You enquire politely,

"Yeah you don't even have one of those swords." Inpu says rubbing his cheek from your tap.

"Flunked out. Still can't read and write." He admits with a nervous chuckle,, "Plus I kept doing this." He strokes his beard and suddenly the man in front of you fades. Not like your whooshy speed thing, it's that damn two places in one thing he did while fighting you.

"So what did he teach you?" Inpu asks as he fidgets with his knife.

One neat trick isn't enough to escape justice.

Ishi just fled.

You look around and clench your fists, urging the world to give you some little clue, one little hint as to where he is.

God provides.

There are a series of five different puffs dirt in a row and you see someone in completely different attire. Does... he have a giant turtle shell on his back?

No matter, "ISHI WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!?" You roar causing the turtle shell clad shape to redouble it's fleeing with a distinctly more panicked air.

You take off after him in a furious pounding of feet against the the dirt roads, trailing him through packed streets, attracting the gaze of the lustful and curious alike as you tear off down the street bearing steel.

He takes a right and runs off towards the area of town owned by the bandits... The one place both Inpu and Hidoi told you not to venture. Ishi is making for the tavern with the previous elder's skeleton by the porch or for one of the smattering of buildings surrounding it.

Ishi continues on, clearly he either fears the bandits more than you, or else they won't harm him.

You try to kick on an extra half step but the littler pervy man is fleet of foot and his trick gave him a massive advantage on you. The sentry you spotted on your last trip here, the heavy man with the a sword aat his hip and a massive club on his back cries out, "SOME CHICK'S GOT A SWORD!"

Immediately doors open, but you try to continue pressing onward. The sentry moves from the porch which a thud, his weight so much that even jumping a simple railing looks like a feat.

Looking ahead bodies and robes of all conditions come flooding out of paper houses and the alleyways dividning them up, so many that you wonder why they haven't just conquered Sakahone.

Well, they pretty much have... they took all the weapons and killed everyone who opposed them.

Men, Women, one kind of grey furred wolfman, short, tall, heavy, skinny, young, old. The bandits look less a bunch of criminals and more a people given swords and told to leave. Several look like terrified grunts, but you can see amongst them the grizzled killers and scarred men. You stop, pulling your sword up to your side with two hands.

The bandits surround you and her you into a tight circle in the centre of a clearing, trusting the small pond nearby to block your escape from that direction. You count two dozen foes, including the wolf man and a serious looking blonde haired man.

The latter of whom heads into the tavern throwing clouded glances your way even as a man with long black hair and a rober that leaves his shoulder and sword arm bare. His eyes are steel and focused in on you as he steps down the stairs from the porch at a casual pace.

There is no haste within him, even as he draws his sword form it's scabbard at his hip. Only you and he bare steel.

You are quite intimidated by this man. Especially when the sea of men women and children is parted with merely his presence. "Why?" is all he asks.

"And what has our local Sensei done now?" The man asks with ill concealed frustration.

"Lewd groping of a well respected fruit vendor and escape from the deputy's incarceration." You reply. "I have no quarrel with anyone here except the pervert."

"The boss will have to make the decision. But I daresay you do not have to look far for a pervert in this area." The man says with a slight smirk. Probably the most friendly this guy gets.

"Well, none of you have groped one of the people I'm in charge of yet." You counter, trying to ignore where the majority of the bandits' attentive gazes are focused.

"When one of them inevitably do?" He asks,

"Then I'll do my duty." You take a step forward, "and bring them in."

The man smiles proper. An expression which is quite unsettling on such a stoic face. "Excellent."

He sheathes his sword and bids you do the same with a gesture, you do not comply but a woman's voice calls out form the tavern doorway. The person themselves staying out of your sight, "Are we to understand that you defeated Ishi single handed?"

Squinting in the direction of your speaker, "Yes. I did."

"Well then we release him to your custody." She pauses, "If you can repeat the feat."

The blonde headed man tosses Ishi sans turtle shell into the ring. He stumbles before writing himmself, "What the hell? I teach you all and you throw me to her?" He can't believe it, "Because I pinched a woman's ass?"

"But, deputy." The woman talks over Ishi's complaining, "In our generosity, the winner of this contest shall become our sensei." She chuckles, "A battle to the death for life and a job! How much of a generous Queen am I?"

"That's ridicu-" You begin before you notice Ishi get into a combat stance. Lord in Heaven this is seriously happening.
