Seika wandered around the palace grounds, looking for a place to stay until her weapon was finished and she could leave.

Meanwhile....
Ryuken slunk through the dark, shadowy corners of the palace. He was an expert at stealth and so no guard noticed him even as he passed right next to them. He noticed the girl from earlier on the palace grounds.

Seika let her feet carry her to a stone bench under a cherry tree, where she sat down and enjoyed the shade. 'What have I gotten myself into now...?' she asked herself, looking up and blowing a cherry blossom away from her face.

Ryuken stepped out of the shadows. "You've gotten yourself involved in a quest that may well fail."

Seika jumped and instinctively reached to her left. After gripping her hand a few times, she realized her naginata wasn't there and sighed. 'That's right...I don't have it right now...' she thought. 'Wait...' "You can read minds?!" Seika exclaimed out loud, pointing at Ryuken. "And what do you mean it will fail?"

Ryuken smirked. "I can't read minds... well not quite. I can read the signs your body and eyes give off. As for it failing... well, I'm not under any orders yet... but soon, both Kutou and Konan will have heard of you. They will both send their assassins to kill you before you can summon Byakko." He continued to smirk. "If you're especially unlucky you'll have me hunting you down."

Seika looked away and lowered her finger. "You're the guy who was looking for Nakago, aren't you? Well, tell your side this; I'm leaving Sairou to search for the celestial warriors alone. Hunt me down if you want," she said. She was set on fending for herself from then on. Seika didn't want to rely on anyone, or anything, in that world. She'd learned better than that from her world.

Ryuken smiled dimly. "You're confident. I hope it keeps up. I'm hoping I'm not the one who has to hunt you down. It's in poor taste for me to kill women, and I'd hate to scar that lovely face of yours." He was speaking in a mock tone, as if to irritate the girl further.

Seika frowned at Ryuken. "If I had my naginata, you'd be sorry," she said.
(ooc: What am I supposed to do when the naginata is ready?)

(ooc: lol, I don't know? Should I say it's ready now?)
Ryuken smirked, carressing the swords at his side. "You think so? I'm fairly certain I have had more experiance with these, than you with your Naginta priestess. Tell me, have you ever killed anyone?"

"I kill mentally," Seika said, remembering the times when she sent several students into mental breakdowns.

Ryuken smirked. "You'll find I'll be much harder to do that to. As well as some of the other assassins they'll send after you."

(OOC: I'll play the emperor.)
The emperor came back with the naginata. "Here it is priestess." He handed the naginata over to Seika. "Have you fund the whereabouts of the first Celestial Warriors of Byakko?"
Alexei was leaning up against the wall listening to the conversation.

As soon as he had heard the emperors footsteps, Ryuken had vanished, dissapearing into the shadows. Even now, he held his knife in hand, ready to strike out at anyone who noticed him.

Seika stood up and took the naginata. She bowed saying, "Thank you, Sire." Rising back up and holding the naginata, testing it, she said, "No, I haven't really tried yet. I was...occupied." Suddenly, Seika started twirling the naginata, making random, unharmful slashes at the air while being careful not to hit the emperor. "The weight, the length, it's perfect!" Seika said, smiling.

The emperor smiled. "Very good. I'm glad you are pleased with it." He backed away smiling. "However it is my hope that you will look into it soon priestess." He started to walk off.

Seika bowed again to the emperor's back. "Yes, Sire, I will," she said. Sitting back down on the stone bench, Seika took the scroll out of the sleeve of her kimono, where she seemed to be able to keep everything she owned.

As soonas the emperor had left Ryuken stepped back out of the shadows. His hand still held the knife. "You don't have me as an enemy yet priestess. But you might, very soon. And if that is the case, then let it be known, no power in this world will save you." He paused for awhile. "I will leave you now." He started back towards the shadows.

Alexei steped out into the courtward. "So do you need help finding the Celestial Warriors of Byakko?"

Seika looked up. "Hey, it's you! Well, kinda...wait, how'd you find out I'm the Priestess of Byakko?" she asked.

"Well the emperor would never give the universe of Four Gods to some girl eceped if shes the priestess of byakko."

"Huh?" Seika looked at her hand and realized she was holding the scroll. Her hand shot to the back of her head and she laughed nervously. "Ehehe...right...well, anyways, I don't know how you could help me find the warriors..."

"Well you have found two already, The emperor and me." he showed Seika his arm and their was his Celestial symbol.

"Eh?!?!" Seika pulled Alexei's arm closer to examine it. "Huh..." She let go of Alexei's arm. "Then, you're Yukida, right? What about the emperor?"

Alexei looked back and saw the emperor walking towards them.
The emperor pulled down the collar on his shirt and showed seika his symbol. "My name is, Seiya Ogawara. My Celestial name is Sairen."

(ooc: Hehe...guess you noticed I changed it...)
Seika looked at the emperor. "Well, we still have 5 more to find, right? I suppose we should be leaving soon, if Your Highness could arrange some horses for us," she said.

The emperor nodded. "I will arrange that for us shortly." He nodded to Seika and began to walk away again.
Meanwhile, Ryuken made his escape, knocking out two guards on his way out. His search for Nakago here had failed. He'd try again though. Ryuken was an assassin, spy, and many other underground proffesions and he was good at it. There was no mission he'd leave undone. He'd finish his mission or die trying. Still, for now, he needed to retreat.

When Sairen came back, he said, "The horses are ready. We may leave immediately." Seika stood up and let Sairen lead them towards the courtyard, where three beautiful horses stood in glory, fully equiped with everything they'd need for the trip. Seika hopped onto one, shifting in her seat so that she was comfortable, and looked back at the two guys. "We should go," she said. "The sooner we find them, the better." The palace officials were there to see them off. Seika nudged the side of her horse and they were off to find the third celestial warrior.
