(ooc---> previous post---> The World of the Book)
Seika, Sairen, and Yukida rode their horses into the village of Jinka. "Do you think Kinryou is here?" Seika asked, looking around their surroundings and dismounting her horse. Seika held onto the ropes around the horse's muzzle and led it through the streets as she looked around.

After a few hours, Ryuken returned. He wasn't ordered to assassinate the priestess, but rather, take up the job Amiboshi had with the priestess of Suzaku. He had had the mark of the Byakko warrior Kinryou on his wrist. Hopefully this would screw things up royally for Byakko's followers. He changed his appearance once more, so that no one would recognize him.

Seika continued to walk through the village. She stopped at a village vender. "Um, excuse me, but do you know of any villagers with a symbol somewhere on their bodies with unique abilities?" Seika asked politely, leaning over to talk to the short old woman.

The woman shook her head. "No idea young miss. But ask around, you never know, lots of people pass through here all the time." Meanwhile, Ryuken was convinced that his disguise would work. Now he just had to figure out a power. He decided on speed and agility. From his training, he was much faster and stronger than the average person.

"I see...thank you for your time, good vender," Seika said, bowing. She took to the streets again, pulling her horse behind her. On the way, Seika asked another shop keeper. His answer was the same. 'Maybe Kinryou isn't even in this village...' Seika started to think. "Say, can't you guys feel where the rest of them are?" she asked Yukida and Sairen, just to check.
(ooc: "You think we have built-in radars? No!" That's what came to my head when I wrote the last sentence! XD)

Ryuken suddenly remembered another of his talents. He smirked. He had several abilities at his disposal, and he could use any of them. He began to walk towards them without seeming to, allowing only part of the symbol on his wrist to show.

"No we can't sense where he is but the scroll could be the answer." He took out the universe of four gods and read out load. "It says that we will find him in Jinka. It also says that his power is lighting. So we have to find a person with the power of lighting."

Ryuken heard the comment about lightning and backed off. He considered it and then remembered something. The scrolls could be very vague about the description they gave. Therefore... lightning could refer to several things. The element itself... or speed. Ryuken was fast, faster than almost anyone he'd ever met. He could outrun a pack of wolves easily, even if they were given a head start... he could use the term 'lightning' for his speed.

Seika continued walking, looking from right to left. Suddenly, she crashed shoulders with Ryuken, in disguise as Kinryou, and lost her balance, falling backwards. Seika let go of her horse, not wanting to pull it down with her. The horse remained obedient and stood by without running away.

Ryuken reached out a hand and grabbed Seika, pulling her back up to her feet, revealing part of the mark he'd had implanted on his arm. "Are you alright miss?"

"Uh...yes..." Seika responded. She looked down at Ryuken's hand, which was still around her wrist, and noticed the mark. "Wait...Are you, by any chance, the Byakko warrior Kinryou?"

Ryuken paused for a moment. "I suppose you could say that."

"What do you mean, 'I suppose you can say that'?" Seika asked. She wanted to be sure. This guy was either Kinryou or not. But, to Seika, it seemed too easy...

Ryuken nodded. "I am. But at the moment I've no intention of becoming one of Byakko's Celestial Warriors."

Seika steamed up for a moment, then calmed back down. "Is that so?" she asked. "But, I'm the priestess of Byakko. Isn't there something I can do to get you to come with us? We could really use your help." Seika wasn't acting like herself, but for good reason. Many people would run away from her if she acted the way she normally did, and that was why she was always mistaken for a 24/7-crabby girl.
(ooc: Just to clarify, Seika's still wearing her priestess robes and Ryuken's hand is still around her wrist! XD)

Ryuken let go of the priestess's hand. "Byakko priestess or not, I do not desire to become a Celestial Warrior, no matter who asks me."

This time, it was Seika who grabbed Ryuken's wrist, so as not to let him get away. "Please?" she asked, giving Ryuken the puppy face.
(ooc: I think we should get Seika steamed...)

(ooc: Agreed! XD)
Ryuken tried to shake her off his wrist. "It doesn't matter what you do, I will not become a Celestial Warrior."

Seika held on. "Please, come with us! I'll give you a wish!" she bribed.

Ryuken shook his head angrily. "I said won't so I won't! If you are the priestess then it looks like you've failed, so just go home!"
(ooc: Better?)

Seika let go. "Fine! We'll leave you to be a nobody here in this village! Come on, you guys, let's go look for Jakitsu! This guy's too proud to come with us!" she yelled as she stomped off, her horse's ropes back in hand.

Ryuken smirked. Well, if she doesn't return here, that makes up for this perfectly. I happen to have the real Celestial detained... in a prison he woun't easily break...
