A large castle taking up the only corner of Minamitorishima Island (a coral atoll located in the northwest pacific ocean) not being used for the airstrip. The gate of the castle is roughly twenty feet tall. On the gate itself, there is a depiction of two dragons carved into the wood. One dragon would be shown to be flying and breathing fire onto the other one who seemed to be falling. The dragon that was breathing fire would have a red coral gemstone where the eye would be located, and the falling dragon would have a lapis lazuli where its eye would be located. Upon entering the gate, one would be greeted by a 25 foot Sakura tree to the immediate left and led down small wooden steps to a sand garden with a gazebo in the middle. After proceeding forward from the garden, there would be the inside of the castle itself, the entrance of which almost always being guarded by two Sekigahara foot soldiers on either side. Upon entering the castle, there would be a bridge over a wooden walkway on the floor below. The bridge would lead to a shrine containing the image of the two dragons seen on the gate outside the castle. Past this shrine, one would have the option of going downstairs or proceeding forward. Proceeding forward, one would see a large room with several beds which was the general sleeping area. Downstairs would contain the kitchen, dining room, bathrooms and two grand rooms which belonged to the heads of the clan, as well as various miscellaneous rooms such as classrooms and art rooms. Outside the castle to the back was a white sand beach which was often used for martial arts training.
Up to his usual routine, Ryu was in his room, one of the two grand rooms located downstairs of the castle. He was assaulting a punching bag which hung from a hook located to the left of the door leading into his room. Wearing some Ring to Cage boxing gloves he had gotten from his last trip to America, he had been giving the poor bag a good thrashing. In the martial artist stance known as the orthodox stance which consisted of his left foot being in front of his right and his body shifted that the right hand was behind the left while both covered his face. He was using it to perform some basic punches in the order of left jab, left jab-right cross, left jab-right cross-left hook and left jab-right cross-left hook-right shin kick. He repeated this without messing up and without any indication of stopping soon even though he was breathing heavily and his clothes drenched in his sweat. With the sound of his gloves going against the bag and the Korean pop music he was blasting through the speakers in his room, the whole lower level of the castle must have been aware of his presence.
He woke up to the grating sound of pop music. ``Bloody ****in' hell`` he got out of bed and walked out of his room. He headed downstairs and searched for the source of the music. He stormed through the are looking for the source and then he heard it was coming from inside a room. He banged on the door and yelled ``TURN THE BLOODY MUSIC DOWN YA SHITE HEAD``
Unable to hear the man's words, but able to notice the loud banging quite clearly, Ryu stopped his practice and used his teeth to remove the velcro from the right glove before flinging it down on the floor and using his now free hand to go to his speaker and turn down the volume. He went to his door and opened it to see one of his subordinates standing in front of him. "Ohayo Hennenburg-san! Oh...uhm..good morning, Mr. Hennenburg," he spoke in his heavily accented English while giving off a smile, "are you just waking up? Did I bother you? Ah, but since you are awake, you want to go do something?"
She had one chance at this, and her instructons where clear. Eliminate the holder, grab the blue dragons blade, and leave with as little casualties as possible. So far the guards haven’t been too much trouble, didn’t even have to draw her sword in their case. You’d think for a crime families home theyed have better men at the front gate.
At her waist, her broad sword emmited a little warmth as if issuing a warning. It was harder to find a way through this place than expect...well it was...until she heard K-pop blasting from somewhere in the building. Then she had a pretty good idea where her target was. From what she knew, he had a strange love for it.

Ryu's smile faded for a moment, then it came back. "Hai," he turned in the direction of the sheathed katana above his bed, "ningen nado, toruni taranwa," the smile that returned to his face was no longer a compassionate one, but one that was distorted with wickidness, "Kakugo!"
Excusing himself from the conversation, he rushed to the closet in his room and opened it. Throwing off his clothes and remaining boxing glove as quickly as possible, he put on a full tuxedo to blend in with the other guards as well as a fedora to hide his slightly pointy ears and distinct blue hair. He then turned his speaker back on with Shine by Pentagon, now louder than before. When all was finished, he went outside of his door standing with both hands at his side as if he was guarding it. He was trying to fool someone, he thought it a good way to examine if his stealth skills were up to par.

She stopped, the blade st her side emitting more heat.
“ I know, I can sense the blades residual energy as well. He’s close. Incredibly close. You think he knows we’re here? Most likely I’m guessing.”
She spoke lowly, glancing around a corner to spot a lone guard before the door. Far too suspicious to be a coincidence.
She smirked and began to rip strategic parts of her clothing and lightly cutting herself across the wrist. Taking her blade from her side and laying it against the wall. She didn’t worry about it being stolen, it would return to her side when she summoned it.
Getting into character, she sighed and put on a faked look of fear.
Turning the corner she shouted
“Like, somebody help!”
She exclaimed, exposing her self inflicted cuts and bruises.
“ like, where am I, what’s going on!”

Ryu looked over to the screaming westerner girl. He waited a moment and then nodded, as if receiving instructions from something. His expression turned into one of surprise. "Eh?!" he shouted in the best confused voice he had. He ran over to the woman and grabbed her by the shoulders gently.
"Nani ga okotta? Daijobu desu ga?" As he spoke, he tore a piece of fabric from his tuxedo jacket and attempted to use it to wrap the woman's wounds, ensuring to keep his fedora firmly on his head so as not to give away any of his most identifiable features.

He heard girly screaming and walked over to the noise. He saw a girl with ripped clothing and wounds on her wrists. He walked over and pulled out a knife and shoved it in her face. ``Get the **** out before I stab you ins the face`` he said with a completely calm voice. He then turned to Ryu and smacked him on the back of the head not knowing it was him. ``Are you thick? She just ***ing walked in the base and you try to help her? Do your ****ing job properly.``
“ like um umm...”
She spoke, pretending to look for the right words.
“Eigo o hanasemasu ka?”
She spoke in shaky Japanese’ that was just barely made out,
“ I-I’m really lost, can you please help me?”
She spoke, pressing her body closer to his to accentuate her curves and pouting slightly the fear on her face seeming so real.
“I don’t know how I got here and I’m like...so scared!”

(( 😝 ))
An odd mist suddenly rolled in and swirled around one centralized point. It twisted up into a shape, getting more and more distinctive as it went. It was soon revealed to be a girl.....

Blushing heavily when her body pushed against him, he stuttered very loudly as he spoke in response, "Wa-Wa-Watashi w-ah! Ksko...Aho ga!" interrupted with a smack on the head, the boy turned to see his subordinate just assault him. He was furious, "Omae wa baka desu ga?!" he shouted before noticing the fedora had fallen off from the force of the hit. He sighed and regained his calmness, now figuring his cover was blown.
His face went from angry to sad and pouty, "Hennenburg-san...you take away my fun." He then extended his hand out to the foreign girl who was injured, "we were just doing a bit of roleplay. I save the damsel in distress. Don't tell my sister I brought another white girl home, she'd be very not happy," with this, he gave a bit of a wink to the girl.

She looked away from huh, covering her face as if hiding a blush. All the while internally scolding herself for having to act as ditzy as she did.
“C-can one of you please help me. I’m new to japan a-and I’m so very scared. I heard there are some bad people here.”
“C-can one of you please help me. I’m new to japan a-and I’m so very scared. I heard there are some bad people here.”
(( Whatever, just void my post. No one noticed anyways. ))
"Yes, I'll help, Miss," he said, smiling compassionately. He then walked into his room now a lot less happy than before, "Why does Hennenburg-san like to ruin my fun," he said mumbling under his breath. When he reached inside, he yelled back at the woman, "follow me! Close the door on your way in!"
“O-ok”
She spoke innocently enough as she entered the room slowly and shut the door behind her. Making sure to lock it before fallowing the young man.
Surely this was a trap, one she had to walk into if she wanted to find what she was looking for.

Ryu jumped on his bed and removed the sheathed sword hanging above it.
"Ao no Ryu told me about you. He said someone was here to take him away from me," he jumped down from his bed looking the woman in the eyes, "you know what I do when someone tries to take him from me?"
He glared into her eyes for a few moments to build up suspense. He then handed the sword to the girl with a bright smile on his face, "here you go!"

“....what”
Was all she could say as she stood there in shock....s-surely this wasn’t one of the leaders of the great clan of crime lords. And if it was, surely he wasn’t THIS stupid!
Deciding to play up her act, she spoke.
“ oh shinny blade!”
She spoke in character as she grazed her fingers across the pommel.

"Take it. It's yours," he said, flopping on his bed, grabbing a small rubber ball which he kept on his bedside table.
"Oh, wait," he said sitting up and throwing the ball behind him over his shoulder, "did your masters forget to tell you that the blade can only be wielded by a descendant of the dragon of the blue flame? That's always a part some people leave out. Without the wielder being a descendant, just a normal sword. Pretty strong sword, but just a sword."
