" A Girls' Outing": (continued)
The girls left campus with a change of subject at hand so to lighten the mood. As they walked they talked about many things, training, their childhood, the academy, their friends, the teachers they liked and disliked and their dreams for the future. However, the conversation ended up settling on training. They stuck with that subject for the rest of the entire walk.
When Makino stopped speaking and taking a break to look around she noticed she was not far from her family home. She looked to Allura and smiled. "I can't believe how fast that walk went by."
She lifted her arm and pointed a head of them. "My home is just over that hill."
When she looked ahead of them again she noticed a group of four, peak said hill in front of them. They were on the opposite side walking toward them. Lifting her hand again she shielded her eyes from the sun to see if she could see them better. She narrowed her eyes in confusion, she had never seen these guy before and by the looks of them they did not belong in this district what so ever. She lowered her hand in thought, They are still pretty far ahead of us, but with both groups walking toward one another it won't take long for the gap to close. She quickly shook the thought when she heard Allura speak to her. "Is there something wrong?" Allura asked her seeing her go into thought.She looked to Allura and smiled with a slight wave of her hand. "No. I think I am just over reacting." She giggled softly. "Must be my Masanobu training kicking in," but no matter how she tried to shake the feeling it would not go away. "But do me a favor.""Sure," Allura replied."Just stay on your toes." She smiled, "just in case." She was not sure if Allura noticed the oddity of the guys or not, but she just did not want any surprises or Allura to get hurt. |

Allura looked the direction Makino was looking and noticed the men, there was definitely something out of place but she tried to keep the calm that was barely there.
She nodded to what she said, "Yeah. We'll be at your house soon though so it should be okay."

Makino nodded smiling softly to what Allura said. She looked back toward the men nonchalantly keeping her eyes forward, she noticed that they had noticed them. Suddenly, Makino lifted her hand and gave them a friendly wave.
"What are you doing?!" Allura questioned a touch a panic in her tone as she grabbed Makino's arm pulling it down.
"Letting them know we are aware of them. If they are in this area for anything other than a walk or just passing through. I indeed want them to know they have been noticed."
"Why?" Allura asked casting her look from the guys in front of them.
"If they are going to or did anything wrong while here in the Noble District they will know we can identify them for it."
"But if they already did it won't that make them attack us to keep our mouths shut?"
"Maybe," Makino looked her way and smiled, "but that is why I told you to stay on your toes. However, if they have not done their deed. Us seeing them might detour them from doing it."
"Makes sense but still..." Allura claimed.
Makino giggled again. "We got this covered. Plus, its day light they would be fools to do anything right now." She looked back to the men as they were still a distance away but closer, a bright smile still across her lips.

While on the other end of the road still walking toward their destination, Kotaro, one of the four men walking through the Noble District, chuckled softly when the girl waved at them. He was about to speak as a wiggle in his hood hanging to his back stopped his thought, he looked to his right shoulder as a sleepy blue eyed, white Persian kitten climbed up on his shoulder. It yawned wide. "Well hello to you, baby Ao." He reached up and scratched the top of her head. "You pick the perfect time to wake sweetie."
He looked back toward the females, "I might have a job for you while daddy plays a little."

As the four men slowly walked towards the girls, Kazue looked up at the cat, "Put the stupid feline away, Kotaro. If we go after them there is four of us and two of them. We don't need it."
He huffed and ran a hand through his ashy blonde hair, "And besides. That cat shouldn't be here anyway. It just gets in everyone's way," he than moved his tie to his mouth, beginning to chew on it as Kotaro shot a very irritated look at him, "I'll shut up. Don't need Satsuma hitting me... AGAIN."
His single shown eye looked the girls way as he whispered around the tie, "Oh they'd bring in a great amount."

Satsuma laughed, "I only hit you morons when you deserve it."
He watched the girls for a moment before walking across the street, "Let's have some fun."
He took a cigarette from his pocket and stopped for a second to light it before walking towards the girls again, a smirk obvious on his face.

Fuwa followed behind the others, watching the girls. At first the redhead was capturing his attention, but as prized her dark red locks were, his eyes strayed to the details of the kimono on the dark-haired woman. The light green kimono was faded and the obi fit with it like it was another piece of the art. He’d bet that this one was a noble - and not from a low family either.
“Yes, they will,” he agreed to his partners’ commentary.
But first, there was some more information to learn.
"If we scare them, Kotaro," he whispered, "let them pet Ao. They'll let us closer then."

Kotaro smirked as he reached up scratching Ao between the ears once more. "That's what my Baby is for." His head turned as he kissed Ao's little pink nose. "Can't get close enough. Send in the cute and fluffy."
He looked back to the girls. "What's the odds they're both Noble?"

Satsuma heard his companions coming up behind him and he stopped and waited for them to catch up before heading along to the girls.
"The dark-haired one has to be. the red-head... Maybe.Any sort of plan here?" He glanced to them with a raised eyebrow, he didn't care much for plans but it was the middle of the day in a noble area, so they definitely wouldn't get anywhere without a solid plan.

"Let them see the kitten and we say we were on our day off," Fuwa murmured. As the girls neared, he kept returning to the girl in the green kimono. A hand-painted kimono. "Right now, we try to get them to talk to us. Then," he paused, "we come back for each of them."
"You're kidding!" Kotaro expressed softly. "You want to come back for them when they're right there in front of us?"
Satsuma shoved Kotaro and blew out smoke from his cigarette, "Shut up. It's the middle of the damn day and we're in a guarded district. Control yourself for once."
"And they say I am the bad one of the group." Kazue scoffed.
"At least Kotaro's loss was without cause," Fuwa retorted. "And less.... singularly memorable." Kazue fell sielnt. Fuwa turned back to the girls as they neared.

When the guys crossed the road putting them in front of them, Makino sighed inwardly, but smiled as she looked to Allura. "Be ready for anything."
"Does the one have a kitten on his shoulder?" Allura asked Makino as she looked at the one blonde in a red jacket.
"Yes he does. Don't trust it. Its a lure. These guys are nothing but trouble, I can see it in their eyes and the way they carry themselves." Makino informed her in a low tone.

Allura nodded and continued to follow beside her friend, the men were getting close enough to where she could actually see features and she watched the way they held themselves closely.
She kept her voice quiet, almost a whisper, "Definitely not from around this area either, noble or not. As bad as it sounds, I hope they are just passing through to cause trouble elsewhere."

"Let's hope, but if they're not the Gotei will shut them down quick enough. If the Noble guards don't do it for them." Makino watched as they got right up on them. Both girls not saying a word as they watched the men part and walk around them two on either side of them. They acted as if they were not even interested in them.
That was until the tall red head that brought up the rear stopped in front of them with a wide bright grin. Makino grabbed Allura's forearm causing her to follow her as the one golden blonde with the white cat, appeared at Makino's side. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Cute kitten." She replied, "Excuse us please."

Kazue had a devious grin as he stepped up to Allura's side, "Enjoy the kitten, ladies. Ao is very" He paused and had to force the next words out in a polite tone, "Cute... And Cuddly..."
The dark skinned thug laughed as the girls went to back up right as the larger man, Satsuma stepped to close them in.
He bit his lip and looked at the two, stretching quickly, "You ladies aren't in any hurry anyway. Not with US in the way." Kazue's tone was very smooth, trying to throw the girls off, "Right big guy?" He looked up at Satsuma and grinned once again.

Satsuma had a somewhat sweet smile on his face as he noticed the ladies stiffen up, "Relax, ladies. We just wanted to have a chat with you. The two of you seem like really nice girls who know the area."
He took his cigarette from his mouth and tossed it to the ground and stepped on it to put it out, allowing himself to step closer to the girls. His smile almost turned to an amused smirk as as he noticed the red head almost turn to look behind her but instead she straightened back up and avoided looking back.
