Putting all his weight into the hit Yasuke's fist slammed into the big oaf's solar plexus as a smirk immediately crept up on his lips when the thug crumbled beneath him salivating on the floor in the process as he huffed for air.
"You clean that from the floor yourself, big guy." Yasuke said feeling as if he somewhat got one back from his arm wrestling loss to Kojuro right before. Yasuke then gave an evil glance at the two remaining thugs at the table who seemed frozen in the moment seeing their huge friend downed in one blow.
"Thanks Sasaki-san!" Yasuke said with a grin. "That kinda connected quite well. How about we throw them all o..." Yasuke said as suddenly Kojuro sat down between them. "Oh I see..." Yasuke said thinking they were about to have some fun with the last two and Yasuke sat down on the other side with the second thug placing his hand firmly on his shoulder as he was about to excuse himself. "You're not going anywhere!" he said as he grabbed the thug's jaw with the other hand and put his face up close to the thug's.
"We wanted manju and you delayed it by being rude! Now if you don't want to same treatment you better get down on your knees and apologize to Kuri-san for your unpleasant behavior and offer to pay the snacks!" Yasuke said as he was about to let go but then tightened the grip again to keep him in place. "And remember big tips!" he said and squeezed before letting go. While the big oaf Yasuke had downed was quietly crawling out of the bar the remaining thugs didn't hesitate to bow down before Kuri with their head all the way down to the ground.
"We apologize sincerely! Please let us buy manju for everyone and give you good tips!" he pleaded as Kuri stood with crossed arms in front of them. "Yeah you better do that you maggots!" she scolded them raising her head to give Yasuke a sweet smile and a wink forming her lips into a 'Thanks', before turning returning back behind the bar desk.

Kojuro laughed. “Good play, Yasuke-senpai!” he said when Yasuke forced the thug to apologise, pay for the snacks and give a tip to Kuri. “I never would have thought of getting him to do all of that.” Yasuke’s plan seemed to work and Kuri even gave him a smile and thanks, which made Kojuro even more certain that matchmaking them was the right thing as he smirked at Yasuke. “You can relax, I’ve done enough meddling for tonight. That wink was a good reward for day one!” he ribbed Yasuke.
The two thugs still seemed a little intimidated, making more than enough room on the benches for Sasaki and Yasuke, and didn’t object to Sasaki asking them some companionable questions about their lives and backgrounds, what their names were and what they were doing in town, possibly with the thought that they might get beaten up by a glaring Yasuke if they didn’t answer. Soon enough Kuri brought sake and manju, and the four spent a convivial time eating snacks and getting slightly more drunk. Putting the dumplings into his mouth through the fake beard proved more difficult than Kojuro had anticipated, and he ended up having to resort to turning slightly away from everyone, covering his face with his sleeve, and biting the manju from underneath the ratty beard until they had been eaten small enough to post through the mouth hole. It wasn’t ideal and probably looked none too subtle to anyone watching.
After a few more cups of sake were shared, and the manju were gone, Kojuro felt the blurriness when he moved his head turn from a pleasant muzziness to something more like vertigo. He had drunk an uncertain amount, but definitely a lot, in a short space of time, and now it seemed all the drunkenness was hitting him at once. Right now, the atmosphere in here felt dense and claustrophobic. He stood up from the table, swaying a little. “Let’s – get some fresh air, huh?” he said, adding “Not you,” to the two thugs who decided they were going to come as well.
Assuming Yasuke was coming with, he lurched out of the Broken Fist and staggered towards the nearby river, where he stood clutching at the handrail as he took a few deep breaths of the night air. “That was a good place, but I didn’t want to throw up in there,” he said, his laughter echoing in the night air. “I think I’m still getting drunker. This is the drunkest I’ve been in a long time … a really long time. Are you drunk? No. You’re pretty tough… just as well.”

Yasuke smirked and nodded - yes it was well played but also the least those fuckers ought to do. "Huh? Are you sure you don't want to marry us tonight too?" Yasuke asked and gave a dry chuckle. "Well I'll admit she's cute but I don't know I shouldn't force the issue you know?" Yasuke argued before seeing the two thugs placing themselves a bit far away.
"What? You look like you don't enjoy our company? Come closer and lets drink together!" Yasuke said and firmly drew one of the thugs closer to him and squeezed him while he emptied the cup of sake with the other hand. The company was not half bad and - at least Yasuke imagined that - the thugs seemed quite in the party mood too and Yasuke enjoyed letting out a bit of steam as well as eating the well made manju that were served. Everytime Kuri-san approached the table he felt increasingsly confident and even started joking a bit with her in the end. It happened so that he called for her quite a few times that night to talk to her - incidentally getting his cup filled each time.
"Wh-what? Outside? Is there more Kuri and sake out there?" he asked and emptied his cup. "No matter... My friend calls for meee!" Yasuke said and got up with a combination of pushing the table and the shoulder of one of the thugs down. "You. And you. Stay here!" Yasuke commanded the thugs pointing at them individually as he swayed a little and followed Kojuro outside. Yasuke followed the dim shadow of Sasaki a few paces in front him trying to pay attention to the ground beneath him as he moved ahead before abruptly coming to a halt at the handrail of the bridge.
"Oh... oh yeah whatever you say Sasaki-san." Yasuke said as he leaned towards the handrail with this body lifting up his hakama as a thin arch found its way down into the river while he sighed in relief. "You know Sasaki-kun... -san... -something." he said and finished his business. "It's so good to have a ronin by my side... I've been trapped with these stuck up samurai for years and they STILL don't know shit about me! Of course I'd be dead of I told them, Sasaki-san. Dead..." he said and made a motion going over his throat as he swayed a bit. "But you, YOU I can trust!" Yasuke babbled and put his arm around Sasaki. "But I reaaaally might have done something stupid, you know Sasaki-kunsan? I made it go away ya know... but in here..." Yasuke said and slapped his chest a few times. "It won't go away in here ya know, Sasaki!"

Kojuro slumped into a crouch and leaned his forehead against the handrail, listening to the bright little tinkle of Yasuke’s urine stream hitting the river as he closed his eyes. The world seemed to wobble around less like this. If he just stayed right here for long enough, he would gradually stop being drunk and everything would return to normal, and he definitely wouldn’t have to throw up. “Yeah… Yasuke-san. The ronin life! The good old ronin life. I think it’s a bit too much for me … I drank too much,” he confessed. “Do all ronin drink this much? How do you do it?”
He leaned a bit against Yasuke’s leg as Yasuke put his arm around him. “Of course you can trust me, Yasuke-kun,” he said. “We’re friends aren’t we?” The bit about being dead seemed to have gone over Kojuro’s head for now. He laughed, longer and with a touch of bitterness that wasn’t there when he was sober. “You’re talking to the right man, Yasuke-kun. I’m the – the world-class expert – in doing stupid things. It’s the only thing I’m good at … so listen…” he lifted his head from the handrail and turned to look at Yasuke. Realising that he was just looking at Yasuke’s leg, he cranked his neck back to look more in the direction of his face.
“You can’t let it stay in there Yasuke-kun… whatever it is … you gotta just let it be free… like piss into the river.” He waved his arm in the general direction of the river/urine stream. “You can’t … hold on to guilt… that’s the stupidest thing of all.” He put his head back against the railing again. “Or … I dunno… maybe you should… maybe it will remind you not to be stupid next time… I’ve never worked out … never worked out how to do that.”

"Huh...?" Yasuke said and snapped out of it apperently dozing off for a moment. "Y-yeah..! I know you do stupid things Sasaki-san, but this.. this idiot samurai I'm with really takes the shit I'm telling you!" Yasuke said and chuckled. "I-I managed to to convince him that I was the savior of this girl when really..." he said and was suddenly interrupted by barking in the nearby alley. "Huh, what's that? Shut up DAD!" Yasuke yelled back and put both his palms on Kojuro's shoulder trying to stabilize himself.
"Wh-what was I trying to say..?" Yasuke suddenly mused. "Oh yeah! Get it all off your chest, yeah! That's why I LOVE YOU Sasaki-san, your solutions are THE B-E-S... Uhmm... something, something." Yasuke said having forgotten the last letter of 'best' and shook his head. "But yeah it fucking hurts in here man..!" Yasuke said and slammed his chest with his fist as a single tear rolled down his cheek. "My dad, Sasaki-san damnit! My dad..! You know he... My fucking dad, you feel me?!?" Yasuke said and grabbed Kojuro's shirt with eyes wide open.

“Yeah, stupid things… I… I really screwed myself up that one time… can’t even hold a bowl of rice properly…” he looked down at his left hand and rotated it, not paying all that much attention to Yasuke’s story, as his own drunken melancholy was a more poignant focus to him than the ramblings from over his shoulder. “Huh? Whose dad is it?” He looked up, hoping it not to be Ryuzo. “I haven’t even told him about that yet. Probably hasn’t noticed I suppose.” Or he would have heard words of disappointment.
“Yeah, what … what were you saying, Yasuke? Sorry … I wasn’t… did you say something about an idiot samurai and a girl that you saved? That sounds kind of familiar… do I know them?” The ratty beard was getting itchy and he started scratching at it. “You … you love me? Sure… that’s always nice to hear.” At this point he was just starting to realise just how drunk Yasuke also was. “It’s alright … you can just let it all out! Don’t leave it inside, you can tell Sasaki!”
With his shirt front grabbed, Kojuro nearly entirely lost his balance, but instead, he reached for Yasuke and put his arms around him in a giant hug, his hat no doubt bonking Yasuke severely on the head, and his itchy rat beard probably now scratching Yasuke too. “I know, I know. Your father was a cruel man. You always wanted his love and respect, but the reason he could never give you those things is … because you’re a kind man, Yasuke. He could never understand you. You did the right thing to leave that life behind you. Cry all you want for the world is a cruel place when such sons are born to such fathers!”

Neither was Yasuke paying much heed to Kojuro's story as he sought to convey his own with as much emotion in it as possible.
"A samurai? No I don't think I saved any samurai and his girl..." Yasuke mused misunderstanding Kojuro's question. "Of course you don't Sasaki! You're a bloody ronin, you don't know any samurai. You live by the sword and travel the ronin path!" Yasuke asserted and let his hands drop on Sasaki's shoulder with pride shedding another manly tear.
As Kojuro grabbed around Yasuke - for what was supposed to be a hug - his ratty beard got into Yasuke's mouth and as Kojuro consoled Yasuke all Yasuke wanted to do was to get the damn beard out of his mouth. It tasted like bitter sweat and smelled of old man as he slowly choked on it making guttural noises in the process. As Yasuke struggled and was out of balance it wasn't before Kojuro had finished his consolation that Yasuke managed to break free pushing himself away from Kojuro ending up in a coughing fit.
"Sa-saki-san damn you..!" he said and spat hair out from having nearly inhaled the beard. "To do this... to try to murder your sensei in this vile way!" Yasuke stammered as he slowly recovered from the attempt on his life stepping towards Sasaki-san again.
"I had thought better of you..!" Yasuke said with tears streaming from his eyes as he pushed Sasaki-san with both hands. "I... I loved you as a brother!" he stuttered as in Yasuke's mind this grand treachery had to be settled somehow.

As Yasuke pushed himself away, coughing, Kojuro felt the ratty beard tear a little as it got somewhat caught in Yasuke’s mouth. “Yasuke, are you alr—?” he was about to say, as he held the fake beard up, now only half attached to his face.
“Murder? I just--!” he began, confused, before putting on a stern voice, and addressing Yasuke, “Pull yourself together! You know I didn’t do anything like that! Just because you’re too – too ashamed – to show your feelings, there’s no need to accuse me of any crime.” But as Kojuro stood in the middle of the bridge, it seemed Yasuke hadn’t finished and pushed him, which sent him stumbling back a good couple of paces before he caught his footing. Now he was getting just a little annoyed.
“Enough of this ‘Sasaki-san’,” Kojuro said, as the beard now dangled. Time that the game was over. He took hold of the ratty fake beard and wrenched it the rest of the way off, his cheeks and chin stinging. “Its me, Kojuro!”
By now both of them were talking in raised voices. “Don’t you recognise me any more! It’s Kojuro! KOJU—“ Just then, he heard a quiet clank, and looked off behind Yasuke, to see a slight gleam of light from metal spear tips and armour. Guards, and they were heading straight for the bridge.
“Long Live Lord Kojuro!” he called out for the guards’ benefit, then grabbed hold of Yasuke’s wrist, and hissed, “run!, before putting on quite the burst of speed, over the bridge in the opposite direction to the guards. He tossed the beard and straw hat off into the river, and dragged Yasuke, willing or not, into the alleyways of Kiyonai’s backstreets, as the guards feet pounded after them. “Hey! You two ronin! Stop there!”

Yasuke narrowed his eyes trying to focus on the words Sasaki-san said. Was he pulling some kind of sad ass explanation now?
"What th...!" Yasuke exclaimed as 'Sasaki' ripped off his beard. "Wow take it easy, I didn't mean it like that! Tearing off your own beard, that's too much!" he said and instinctively shielded his eyes with his arm. Just then a noise came from behind Yasuke and before he got to ask who the guy was that Sasaki had praised was, he motioned to scold whoever interrupted them.
"Hey you troublemakers, if you wanna fight I got no-beard Sasaki-san on my si-..." Yasuke said before Kojuro had yanked his wrist in the opposite direction. "Are we not going to teach those bastards...?" he asked in a blur although what Sasaki now hissed seemed quite important and as Sasaki ran Yasuke ran too - taking the most direct route he could in his state as he knocked over market stands and used whatever he could get his hands on to drive him forward and keep him upright tumbling through the narrow alleyways.
"Oi, oi! Where are we going Sasaki-san?" Yasuke asked confused and soon to be out of breath.

The two drunken idiots stumbled through alleyways without much skill or stealth, and Kojuro, leading the way, had little idea where he was going. Despite living in Kiyonai all his life, the seedy back alleys in the rough part of town were not somewhere he was naturally drawn to, and they formed quite a maze-like complex for one so especially inebriated. However, he knew the rivers, and he knew the high temple roofs, the stars and the moon, and there was a vague method to his madness as kept the river on their left. He stopped at a shadowed corner, out of breath. He hadn't run so much in weeks and was extremely out of shape, plus both of them kept bumping into things, malcoordinated by booze. There was no way they could outrun their pursuers like this.
He held up a hand to silence Yasuke and shook his head once. There was only one thing to do, if they couldn't run – hide. The footsteps and metallic clanking of guards was getting nearer, about to round the corner and find them here. Kojuro looked over Yasuke's shoulder, into the shadows. He had an idea. “Hold your breath!” he hissed, before slamming his shoulder into Yasuke, pushing him backwards into the black river that ran just bel them beside the alleyway. He jumped in straight after, grabbing Yasuke and pulled him under cover of a low bridge just beside them. The water was cold, he was shivering as he made the motion for silence with a finger to his lips, but it was sobering too. He listened for the footsteps of the guards with his heart racing.
“Where'd they go?” “Did you hear a splash?” “I don't see anything...”

Yasuke stopped blabbering for a moment taking on a confused look.
"Sasaaakiii... I need another bottle of saaaakeee..!" Yasuke rhymed and grinned and he was about to lean into Kojuro when a shoulder was slammed into his chest before he lost balance and tumbled over the railing in directly into the river running beneath them. Out of pure instinct born from surviving many things - having heard nothing of the warning Kojuro gave him - he closed eyes, mouth and ears right after he hit the water and his body submerged into it. He wasn't a great swimmer but the experience triggered memories from his dad's 'swimming lessons' and his arms immediately worked to get up to the surface.
Popping his head up snapping for air he felt Kojuro grapping onto him and dragging him along under the bridge.
"K-Kojuro-dono..!" Yasuke stuttered slightly confused about the whole situation, his liquor induced amnesia having had him forget everything that had happened from when they left the bar. Yasuke looked at Kojuro seeing the way he motioned for him to keep quiet - and that he did awaiting until their pursuers had gone again before dragging himself onto the land all drenched and shivering from the cold like Kojuro.
"Kojuro! What the hell did you do getting those people on our tail?!?" he asked sullenly. "Also we can't go back to the bar like this..!" he complained and looked at his clothes before scouting around. Wasn't this..? Yes indeed it was, he knew this street. "Yeah we're going to the hot springs right now..!" Yasuke said and helped Kojuro to his feets if necessary. "It's just around a few corners - a great place. Open in the night too!" he said with a frosty grin his teeth soon about to starting clacking from the cold.
How well does Yasuke hold his breath and coped with the sudden watery surprise?

Kojuro Hizashi
Dedicated
Lord of Kiyonai
Roleplay posts: 354
Age: 23
Physical Description: Kojuro stands at a little above average height, and a slender, athletic build. His dark brown hair falls to just beneath chin level, and he usually wears it tied back. His eyes are a bright brown colour, so light as to be close to orange. He is usually well but simply dressed, and carries himself with a relaxed air, taking most things in his stride. He has several recently acquired scars, including a sword cut to his left arm which has left him only partial use of that hand, and a another from a sword cut along his jawline on the right side.
Clothes and Equipment: He is normally dressed in conventional attire for his culture and social class. As a lord, his clothing is high quality, though not ostentatious. For everyday wear a simple kosode and hakama, silk courtly robes for official duties, and armour on the battlefield. He prefers greens and blues, though often may be wearing the maroon and gold of the Hizashi clan.
In battle he can be noticed from a distance by the dragonfly crest on his helmet. He also wears a surcoat in Hizashi maroon and gold and a set of lacquered armour bearing the Hizashi clan cherry blossom crest. In battle he is armed with a tachi (long sword) and a tanto (dagger), and also carries a fan to signal orders. He will also be found carrying his swords everywhere, as is usual for samurai.

The water wasn't deep but it flowed cold and quickly from the mountains. They waited several long minutes in its icy grip before their pursuers heard the noises of some other drunken brawlers and made off in that direction. Like Yasuke, he dragged himself from the water, weighed down by wet clothes. Although he passed a glance to Yasuke when he accused him of attracting the attention of the guards, he didn't have much to say in reply. His body had an urge and it was using up all of his attention right now. He let Yasuke help him to his feet but instantly staggered away quickly in the opposite direction, his face turned a strange shade of greenish white.
Down the alley they had come, there was … yes, there it was...a square wooden bin outside the back of some building or other. The smell of rotting vegetable matter was somewhat contained by a lid. He pulled the lid off and threw up much of the night's booze onto the compost. Every heave painfully reminded him he was still recovering from his wound. Why do I do this to myself? he thought, in a rare moment of clarity as sobreity seemed finally to be catching up with him a little.
Eventually he slumped exhausted down by the side of the compost bin, still shivering with cold and dripping river water everywhere. It seemed the world had stopped spinning around at last. “Yasuke … my stomach hurts,” he said in a pathetically quiet voice, half ready to just fall asleep in the alleyway like a lost vagrant.

"Kojuro..? The hot springs now..!" Yasuke said firmly and shivered although it seemed like a slightly green faced Lord had other immediate plans. "Oi Hizashi-san..!" Yasuke said and followed Kojuro to the container. Yasuke padded Kojuro jovially on the back as he laughed. "You did well my friend, but I guess you just aren't quite as hardcore as me!" Yasuke said and brimmed. "Hmm..." Yasuke mused and rubbed his chin as he bowed down and put Kojuro's arm around his shoulder. "Come on here friend, I'll get you there!" Yasuke said with a smile as he halfway carried Kojuro to the onsen. "I hope by god they cleaned it since last..." Yasuke said in a quiet voice as they would soon by there. Exit: Five Flowers Onsen |
