[h1]Itsuki[/h1] Itsuki couldn't help but give a slight grin as he seemed to weasel his way out of having to talk to the kids, and as things went on, he seemed to have been decided as unsuitable for caring them as well. Hana was quickly chosen as the most suitable, something that he could get behind fully as he'd only volunteered in memory of the old man, well, that and he figured he'd be the best to do it out of those assembled. Kachi seemed about as suited as him, maybe a bit less so because he seemed more battle-hungry, and Asoka seemed like she'd throw them out on their asses if they became to much of a nuisance, plus the fact that she had a gang to run, among other things if her attire was any indicator. Giving her five mouths to feed would definitely end badly. . . well, maybe not for the twins that she had been sneaking glances at. Itsuki felt a bit sorry for the kids who'd drawn the attention of his not-so-sweet little sister. As he turned his gaze towards his other little sister, he couldn't help but notice that Hana seemed to get a little tense when she heard Kachi's comment about clearing out a warehouse. [i]Guess she doesn't approve . . . [/i] Itsuki figured, and was quickly proven right as Hana spoke to them about their plan's glaring flaws, seeming to think that Asoka had put the plan into action if he was hearing the implications properly. However, the problem here was the fact that she didn't understand the context in which the plan was formulated. Well, better to inform her and be on the ready in case Asoka decides to lash out. "THe warehouse was going to get cleared sooner or later, Hana, because I've gotten tired of sleeping in back alleys and under over-passes. Been scouting the places out for awhile, would've probably struck in other day or two, so really, the only effect these kids here had was speeding up my plan." Itsuki would get up with a bit of a stretch his Kagune trailing slowly behind him in lazy arcs, one even reaching up to lightly scratch at his chin as he yawned. "Well, I might as well do it now then. Kids or no kids, I'm not getting rained on tonight. It was nice meeting you all tonight, and if you guys ever want to talk, just come by the warehouse later, cause I'll be either there, dead, or in the hands of the Dove as a Quinque, if what Hana said has any merit. Kachi, you can go off and do whatever it is you were going to do or follow me if you wish, I don't care either way." Itsuki waved to the others before he reached for his waist, only to blink as he found it missing. He looked around for a bit before finding it laying on the ground a slight ways away. Once he had it on and secured, the eyes glowing eerily in the dark night, he'd give them another wave good-bye, before running off in the direction of his destination. As he approached a building, the two Kagune he had out would flow down to his legs, wrapping themselves around until they semi-formed some kind of greaves and boots, two more tendrils coming out to wrap around his arms in a similar manner. He'd leap just as he reached the end of the ruined remnants of the old man's home, the power added by his kagune enabling him to launch rather high into the sky, before landing with a thud on the rooftop. He'd continue on this way, leaping from rooftop to rooftop as he cleared his heads of all thoughts besides those focused on his current mission. It was a technique he'd developed to cope with the paranoia and fear that had plagued him every day for the years he'd spent in that hellish labyrinth. Take an objective, focus on it, and discard every other thought and feeling that seemed like it would get in the way of accomplishing that objective. After so many times, it was almost instinctive now, a way to get a 100% efficency out of his body and mind every single time. However, it wasn't perfect, as in this way, he'd possibly be a danger to Kachi if he decided to follow, if he got in Itsuki's way. [i]No, don't think about. Focus on the objective, and only the onjective. Clear out the warehouse. Do it quickly. Do it quietly. Leave no survivor. Take no prisoners. And if there are any humans there, kill them as well. Keep the CCG off my back at all costs.[/i] Those were the parameters set within his mind. For the current mission . . . and yet, he felt something deep within his gut. A primal instinct that told him to expect the worst from this encounter. He couldn't explain how he knew this, but he had been saved by his hunches for far too long to start doubting them now. From his back, the final two kagune came out, held at the ready as he approached the warehouse, prepped to begun taking out he guards as soon as they came into view. [hr] [h1][color=Red]Takeshi[/color][/h1] Takeshi would watch the one guy leave cautiously as he nibbled at the food presented by the weird lady that had appeared, currently thinking of what their next plan of action should be. These people seemed convinced on taking them somewhere, though he had no idea where. He honestly didn't trust these people in the slightest, especially the short one, she had a look about her that seemed rather shady to him. However, if that scuffle earlier had shown, anyone of these adults were much, much stronger than all of them combined, and they;d be lucky to land a scratch on them, let alone take one of them down. Not only that, but times had gotten rough lately, especially with the doves capturing Toru, so having some protectors wouldn't be so bad. [i][color=Red]Besides, it would be nice to sleep somewhere at least remotely safe for awhile . . . but I'll need to be keeping an eye on them. Learn what I can and then, if they turn out to be dangerous, protect my family as best I can.[/color][/i] With his rudimentery plan in mind, he decided that it was time to stop letting these adults set the pace around. Finishing off the bits of meat that the nice lady(her name was Hana, if he remembered correctly) had given to him, he stepped somewhat cautiously forward, though tried to play it off as playing it cool by putting his hands into his pockets, seeming rather unfazed and uninterested in what these adults were saying. "So . . . we going to go now or what?" [@AtomicNut][@Savato]
