Kojuro didn't sound too happy about going somewhere safe - and potentially boring - and Yasuke thought that safe would feel too much like the confines of his room. In the last moment he changed his mind.
"Oi..! You're right I don't usually drink like this and now we've headed down the wrong street!" Yasuke laughed and palmed his forehead pretending surprise. "Well, at least I remember a shortcut, this way!" Yasuke said and grabbed Kojuro's sleeve leading him down not one, not two, but three connecting alleyways until they reached a the back of building standing adjacent to another street which sounded a bit more 'lively' as cheers and yells came from there.
"There it is, the Broken Fist..!" Yasuke said proud to introduce Kojuro to one of his favorite taverns in town and one that was a little more interesting that the first one he had nearly chosen. Relieved to have chosen right he walked straight in through the back door assuming Kojuro would follow.

Kojuro hadn't been down these strange dark alleyways before, and he looked around as he was dragged down the street by Yasuke, holding onto his beard. He really was getting to see another side to city life. Even the smells were different here, and scent of used frying oil and alcohol hung in the air. Arriving at the building that Yasuke had led him to, he was pleased to find that there were sounds of life and partying coming from within. It didn't sound as boring as Yasuke had made out it would be. “The Broken Fist, hmm? That definitely has a 'safe' sound to it,” he laughed, eyeing Yasuke suspiciously. “Wait!” he had Yasuke hold up a moment before he entered the door. “Is my beard straight?” Assuming his facial hair was correct he would enter the tavern directly after his companion.

Yasuke laughed hoarsely displaying a little bit of nervousness as Kojuro seemed to have found out that Yasuke perhaps hadn't quite chosen the most safe bar around Kiyonai. Perhaps even one of the least... 'less' safe ones.
"You don't have to worry about that, I have never broken a fist in there - at least not my own..." he said as he was about to enter until Kojuro held him up for a moment. Yasuke squinted and leaned his head to both sides trying to figure out if it was level. Pulling slightly in the tip of the beard he tried if it was on correct before having his other hand help adjusting it slightly.
"Hmm... no it's dead crooked and it looks like a dead rat attached itself to your lower face and wouldn't let go. But lucky for you you'll meet few guests in there who's eyes are just remotely on the same level. So in other words... You'll fit in nicely!" he said and padded Kojuro on the shoulder as he confidently stepped inside the bar. The atmosphere was already bustling and people were seemingly having a great time getting pissed, singing and gambling. One guy almost climbed on Yasuke's back hugging him from behind.
"Ohhh Yasuke nee-sama! It's so good to s..!" he said before an elbow hit his stomach and he fell off again. "I don't know you." Yasuke said slightly annoyed. The guy always tried to loan money from Yasuke for gambling and sake because he had lent him a few mon once to shut up and now he wouldn't stop.
"Sake please! Yeah a full bottle, I'm with my ronin friend here who's new in town! Yeah, yeah you won't have to hold my hair this time I promise..!" Yasuke said with a wry grin as the female bartender jested about last week where Yasuke had had a little too much in a drinking competition against a stranger. Yasuke might have passed out along with the stranger but he wasn't sure the stranger had ever woken up again - he supposed that counted as a win. Perhaps tonight would be slightly less wild when around the lord.
"Ohhh, you're new in town perhaps? What's you name? I promise you won't find the same quality sake other places, mister!" the bartender said and winked at Kojuro. 'Ohh him? He was just the lord of the land' their eyes would surely widen if they knew who the guy with the scruffy beard really was. People in here didn't even know Yasuke was employed at house Hizashi, they thought him to just be the occasional ronin running odd jobs around town.
"So..! A table right?" he said to Kojuro with a jolly tone poking him with an elbow interrupting any prolonged talking between him and the bartender before placing the cups and the bottle on the table sitting down at a table near the wall opposite to the bar. "Kuri-san is fun loving, good looking and can crack a real joke. I wouldn't tell her too much though, those people tend to figure out too much too quickly and she has her eyes on you!" Yasuke said and took a gulp of the sake.

“A dead rat!” Kojuro exclaimed under his breath, unable to tell if Yasuke was serious or not. “Maybe I should take it off? No one is going to recognise me anyway! It’s not as though I stand out that much … not like Kaen or Takahashi-san…” But Yasuke didn’t seem to think there was any problem with him having a dead rat on his face and at any rate, a dead rat was something that Lord Hizashi was unlikely to have affixed to his face so Kojuro decided to embrace to fake beard and step into the lively atmosphere of the Broken Fist.
Everything was certainly very convivial, and Yasuke seemed well-liked here. He found himself grinning as he looked around, while they walked up to the bar and Yasuke demanded a bottle of sake. He nodded to the bartender, tipping forward his large hat in greeting. “I’ve never seen Yasuke-san here lose a drinking competition,” he said, lowering his voice a couple of tones and attempting to add a Yakuza-like drawl to it. He’d never seen Yasuke compete in one at all as it happened… and he shot him a sidelong look wondering if that was how he usually let off steam at places like this and if he was going to do it tonight. “That’s right, miss. I’m from up in Mayukawa. Sasaki Ichiro is my name, and I’ve certainly missed good sake and pretty girls up there in the country!” He lightly bashed his fist onto the bar to give his statement some extra authenticity. “And barbers,” he added, scratching at his huge beard. “But there’ll be time for that after I’ve caught up with all the fun of the city. Right, Yasuke-san?”
He wouldn’t have minded talking some more with the bartender as she was both friendly and cute, but Yasuke seemed to have other ideas and was already taking him away to a table. He sat down opposite. “Oh? How do you know she’s not looking at you?” Kojuro said, narrowing his eyes slyly as he smiled beneath his beard. “She seemed to be flirting with you. You like her don’t you?” he said, leaning back in his chair and watching Yasuke with a certain air of smugness as though he’d figured out a secret.
He realised he was waiting for Yasuke to pour the sake but supposedly Yasuke was Ichiro’s senior … so Ichiro should be pouring sake for him first. “Can I get you a cup, senpai?” he asked, reaching for the bottle.

The bartender gave Kojuro a sidelong long glance learning onto the bar.
"He didn't. The other guy passed out a few moments before Sou-san here who allegedly sympathized so hard with his opponent he chose to pass out right after. Isn't that true?" she asked Yasuke with a wry grin.
"Pffft... I just... I mean the guy was admittedly a professional hard drinker and I had to show him some amount of respect so he didn't loose face to some ronin like me." Yasuke said and made a dismissive gesture with his hands forming a confident smile.
"Is that so? You sure sure took your sweet time doing it." the bartender said and nodded with a sarcastic smile on her lips before addressing Kojuro. "I dunno about that guy, some of my guests here call him a merciless brute, but all I see is a slightly stubborn bear cub." she whispered to Kojuro and lifted her brow. "Sasaki Ichiro." she said and glanced at him. "You know, some girls here prefer men with beard Sasaki-san. A little rural ruggedness probably isn't way off, and in here with this lot you'll definitely shine." she said and gestured at the guests who, except for a few exceptions, did resemble what Yasuke had mentioned.
Yasuke nodded to Kojuro's explanation. "Yeah, I'm showing Ichiro what a good time in the city looks like. Recently he's been stuck at his parents house, but he wanted to see the would." Yasuke said and smirked.
Back at the table Yasuke was looking forward to the first cup of sake when Kojuro suddenly brought another topic on the table. "Wh-... Me? No no no, she's definitely looking at you, Ko... Sasaki-san." Yasuke was taken aback by the sudden directness from Kojuro his eyes dotting around the room. "Like..? Kuri-san?" Yasuke went as his cheeks starting to blush. "Ahh! No! It's not like that at all, and also she would never consider someone like me." Yasuke said and crossed his arms and looked at away trying to settle this rather unpleasant topic.
However the word 'sake' had him softening up again and his head turned slowly back towards Kojuro, his eyes settling on the bottle and then Kojuro himself.
"I wouldn't mind... Sasaki-kun." he said a wry smile forming. Yasuke grabbed the cup as soon as Kojuro had poured and lifted it. "To a safe and sober night out!" he said his grin continuously growing before he took a sip. "Now this stuff... Is really good! Wouldn't you agree Sasaki-kun?"

“Oh…. And why wouldn’t she? You’re quite the catch. And she definitely has a thing for you.” He had already made up his mind to get the two of them together, despite what Yasuke had to say about it. He gave Yasuke a shit-eating grin watching him blush. Fancy Yasuke being shy with girls. It was quite cute in a way. “You should take your chance while you’re still alive. War is around the next corner, you could be dead tomorrow! Now’s a good time to tell her you like her!” and if it turned out Yasuke didn’t want to do that, then maybe he would grease the wheels a little himself, he thought, glancing back over to the bar and stroking his fake beard thoughtfully.
He poured Yasuke a cup of sake and one for himself, raising it with Yasuke to his toast. “Kanpai!” He knocked it back in one, feeling the pleasant warmth spread itself through his body. With this along with the sake he had drunk straight from the bottle out in the street, he was already feeling the giddying effects of the alcohol. When was the last time he had been drinking? Long enough that his body had forgotten much of its resistance. The quality of the sake itself wasn’t good in comparison to the kind of stuff that Uncle Genji had brought in for celebrations, but it was certainly passable. “Its good,” he said, already looking somewhat more relaxed. “When was the last time … you were with a girl?” he asked Yasuke wondering how he managed to get by with women if he was so shy. “You’re not … married or anything are you?” he asked almost as an afterthought.

His smile went wry and he looked at Kojuro.
"Married? What do you take me for? I'm a bachelor at heart!" he said and chuckled. "I could definitely catch her, many girls would want me." he said and nodded confidently. "Let's just say that life as a bachelor presents itself with options." he said and bared his teeth in a smile though a quick glance was thrown towards Kuri-san at the bar, who had just seen three guys walk up and order a lot of sake.
But the facade didn't last and Yasuke placed both palms around his mug and went quiet as he looked down at the sake.
"Okay sure you got me... you know I'm not very good with these things. It would have been much easier if she actually didn't like me - much less complicated!" Yasuke argued and gestured frustrated. "I mean you say the right stuff and then things progress... but how do you even deal with someone who likes you? What kind of odd thing is it that some chick wants to have you as a trophy - and the other way around?" he said and sighed. "I sure wasn't taught something like that by my dad." he said and frowned. "Do they teach something like that? I mean, did Ryuzo-dono tell you how deal with liking one of those long haired? Because you seem to do pretty well." Yasuke said and reluctantly leaned back in his chair taking another sip of the sake.

“I don't know,” he laughed, “I just realised I had no idea if you were … I assumed you were living a carefree ronin life before you joined the Hizashi, but I suppose plenty of ronin must have wives and children. You've never really spoken much about your personal life, there' must be a lot I don't know about you. Not that I need to pry into it... ” Not unless he was about to set him up with a girl, anyway. In which case it was probably a good idea to know if there were other women involved first. But now he thought about it, there wasn't that much he did know about Yasuke. Maybe after some sake he'd loosen up a bit and tell some tales of life on the road. Even being here in the Broken Fist was giving Kojuro a little bit of insight into Yasuke's mysteries.
“Ah, now!” He saw Yasuke looking downcast as his shyness reasserted itself and he started to confess himself as having difficulties with women. “Don't think like that!” he admonished him softly, never having seen Yasuke look quite so humble. Kojuro listened with his head tilted to one side. “I'm not sure I really understand … what you mean by the 'trophy' … are you saying, you want to marry Kuri-chan?!” he leaned forward and blinked hard. “This is more serious than I thought! Yasuke!” He sighed heavily and sunk back into the chair. What was he supposed to do with this? “Eh... do you think so? I just take things as they come, if there's a girl I like, I talk to her, and if she laughs at my stupid jokes then I take that as a good sign, and we go from there. But, there's never been a girl I liked like Naka, never. That really took me by surprise...” He wondered if Kuri was special to Yasuke in the way that Nakatani was to him. He couldn't just ask Yasuke if he lovedKuri, but he did wonder.
“Ryuzo-dono?” Kojuro laughed, “What – why would he? I don't think this is something you talk about with your father. Maybe your brothers or your male friends.” The idea of asking Ryuzo for advice on women was, while laughable, also somewhat depressing, since he had, in fact, asked his father to find him a wife. He not so subtly pushed his sake cup along the table towards Yasuke for his turn to pour.

"Ma-marry her?!? No of course not, I was just referring to the thing about... liking each other seems to me to be a bit like that." he quickly explained as if to cast no doubts about his intentions. Even thinking it was going too far for his tastes. He considered Kojuro's thoughts about how to deal with girls and rubbed his chin. "Nope, I couldn't do that." he said firmly and crossed his arms dismissing Kojuro's advice rather quickly. "I mean joking and such things aren't that hard, but I mean... getting to know them is hard." he said and sulked.
"Well... I dunno... I just sorta asked." Yasuke said defensively. "Maybe it's best though to keep them out of the women business though. You found a girl without his help didn't you?" he said and poured another cup for Kojuro.

“Then... how is it like being a trophy?” Kojuro asked, resisting an urge to scratch underneath his fake beard as he tried to make sense of Yasuke's problems. He wanted to help if he could but, at the moment he didn't really understand what he meant. “I'm glad it's not marriage you're looking for though,” he sighed, “that one might be a bit beyond me... you probably need a professional go-between to go see her parents.” Glancing over at Kuri he wondered what kind of parents she had, and how much a professional matchmaker would be inclined to make a deal between a samurai like Yasuke and a townswoman like Kuri. Too complicated. “Getting to know people isn't hard. Just ask them about themselves, and tell them some things about yourself. Ask her what her favourite season is, or whether she prefers sweet snacks or savoury. You don't need to write poetry or anything fancy. You already know she likes you so … just show her you're interested. Unless,” he blinked with manufactured innocence, and leaned forward as a mischevious smile began to spread itself across its face, “you want me to do it.”
“Yes, absolutely, keep them out of it, if there's no need for them to be involved. But duty demands, Yasuke. Love and marriage are two different things. Maybe for you, they don't have to be – to a certain extent – no one needs to – to decide who your wife is going to be. At least when I get Father's list I can say no if I want...” he sighed, realising as he said it that it sounded particularly childish. “Enough about my prospective wives, lets get back to yours, because yours seems more fun!” he took the cup of sake and drank, although there was really no need to imbibe any more alcohol. “Want more?” he asked. “I'm going to get Kuri-chan to bring us snacks, and then you can ask her a question.” He waved his hand over at the bar, half-standing, hoping to attract her attention.

"A trophy? I dunno..?" Yasuke said and brought his cup up to his lips. Kojuro was asking weird questions and he didn't know how to answer that one. "I was just suggesting it might be like that." he said and shrugged. "Her parents! I'm not seeing her parents, that's for sure!" Yasuke said firmly. "How can that be easy? I already told you that I haven't told anyone in here that I'm a samurai." Yasuke argued and thought that anything he could tell her would have to be made up - and then it wasn't too far from one of those normal casual flirts.
He opened his eyes and stopped halfway from reaching over the table to grab Kojuro's collar.
"No! Just no, you won't!" he said firmly. Yasuke wasn't going to have Kojuro trying anything fancy dropping him into the deep end of things. Regarding his potential wives Kojuro didn't sound too excited - but neither was Yasuke about this ordeal. "Snacks...? Hmm perhaps... No wait, you're not going to..!" he said and tried to stop Kojuro, though he had already gotten eye contact with Kuri and he sighed. "A question..?" he muttered to himself. What would he ask her?
Kuri flashed a smile at Kojuro and promptly approached their table.
"Ohhh it's already empty, you guys want more?" she asked and looked at both of them taking their order. A question huh? Hmm, he still hadn't any proper ones prepared, but Kojuro mentioned something about the seasons. Yasuke didn't really care about the damned season but as far as he could understand he didn't have to.
"Kuri-san I..." he said Yasuke having mustered enough courage, though the volatile outburst from the bar's newest guests stole her attention away.
"Woman! This sake bottle is half empty, we ordered a full one!" a particularly burly guy yelled as Kuri sighed.
"Sorry Sou-san, we can talk later..." she said reluctantly her hand grazing his shoulder on the way to other table.
Yasuke sighed and looked at Kojuro. "I DID try..!" he explained and gave a quick glance over to the unruly quests a couple of tables away. They'd better not give Kuri-san a hard time or the quiet night was off, he thought.

“But, couldn't you just tell them you were a samurai?” Kojuro asked, finding Yasuke's tendency to overcomplicate everything a little exasperating. “Or tell her something else.” He thought for a moment, “What things were like in your hometown, or what your favourite colour is, or if you heard any interesting news recently... or even better, if you saw something interesting recently, then you could take her to see it.”
Kojuro laughed as it looked like Yasuke was going to grab for him. “Alright! I won't!” He seemed serious about it too. So this was the kind of situation Yasuke had had him learn judo for - the bar brawls he had mentioned? Luckily Kuri arrived before Kojuro had a chance to think more about that. “Yes please, Kuri-san. Can we have some snacks too. Yasuke-senpai and I can't decide on what we would like, so … we'll have two plates of whatever is your favourite.” He snuck a glance to Yasuke while Kuri thought about it. “We have some good manju with red beans today. My favourite is the dango but we're all out...” and then she had to leave to attend to another patron. They seemed a little rough over there, but luckily she had a few nice customers like Yasuke to take the edge off the rude ones.
“Don't worry,” he said, sympathetically, “I know you did. She's just busy, it's not a good time. But, we still found out something about her though. Now you know she likes dango so,” he grinned, “if you wanted to invite her out with you, take her to the best dango place in town.” How could Yasuke say this was hard?

"I..." Yasuke said and sighed. "They don't like samurai very much in here..!" he almost whispered making sure no one were looking at them. "So I couldn't tell her." Yasuke said and crossed his arms as he thought a while. "My home town was nothing special either." he said and was getting increasingly tired of Kojuro trying to solve everything with his easy advice but did find the thing about taking her somewhere just a little interesting. Maybe they could go gamble at the Corner Dragon?
"Hmm... But I don't like Dango very much." Yasuke protested slightly and blew air out of his nose. "Fine, fine..! Seemingly there's no stopping your probing into my business so... I may try your advice!" Yasuke said reluctantly. "You're happy now? Was this what you wanted when you agreed to come along, to see me squirm? I bet it was you lousy ronin!" he Yasuke said with a playful grin and slammed his elbow down into the table. "Come on, I'll make you squirm in return!" he said and opened his palm inviting Kojuro to a quick game of arm wrestling.

“Right,” said Kojuro, suddenly lowering his voice as he just remembered that they were supposed to be undercover. Hopefully he hadn't been talking about anything he shouldn't have been. He would at least try to keep it more subtle, and when he spoke again he put more effort into resuming Kawasaki Ichiro's yakuza voice. “I'm not meaning to meddle in your personal life,” he said, although he actually was if he was being totally honest, “I just think if there's a way you can be happy – you should seize it – you know? Kuri-chan is so cute and the way you look at her... Life's so short. And how many girls like that do you meet? But, your point is taken!”
Kojuro looked at the arm in front of him. A manly contest of strength, why not indeed, if this was the done thing in these kind of establishments? It would make less mess than practising their judo and throwing each other around. “What? Is that what people do in here? Fine then...!” He grinned as he got into the mood. Maybe this was the one type of strength contest he might have a chance against with Yasuke. Overall, Yasuke was definitely stronger, but using a sword mainly one-handed meant Kojuro's right arm was probably proportionately stronger than it should be. However, if Kojuro were to take into account that he wasn't in great physical shape after spending a lot of time in bed recovering from his injury and also slightly drunk, he would see that Yasuke most likely had the upper hand. Not that this would top him, of course. “I'll wrestle you on one condition. If I win … you have to ask Kuri to go out with you. But if I lose, I'll never talk about your love life again!” He put his elbow on the table and grasped hold of Yasuke's hand. “Let's go!”

Yasuke listened to Kojuro's yakuza voice and nodded with a wry smile.
"Yeah that one is a little better..!" he said and brought out yet another flask he had hidden within his jacket before filling Kojuro's cup and his own. Yasuke lifted his cup and looked at Kojuro. "To the ronin life, Ichiro-kun!" he said and chuckled before taking a healthy sip.
"Yeah, yeah I know you mean well and all but some things just aren't as simple as you make them for one like me. Take your father´for instance, you two didn't have that great a relationship - but I bet you'd pick your own dad ten out of ten times if you had met my old man." Yasuke said with a confident grin though dark shadows relieved his answer of much myrth.
As Kojuro put his arm up Yasuke chuckled a bit.
"Well I'll be damned! I'm surprised by those muscles, do you work that arm daily?" he said with a sly grin grasping Kojuro's hand firmly trying to intimidate him a little by clenching extra tightly. As always Yasuke was strong and people were generally taken somewhat aback about exactly how strong he was but Kojuro was somewhat used to that strength so he couldn't be so sure about victory - he had to give it his best.
"Sure thing, sure thing! And If I win we won't talk about that any more tonight!" Yasuke added to the conditions not waiting for Kojuro to agree before he engaged him.

But this was certainly a surprise and as the arm wrestling commenced he suddenly heard the voice of Kuri being upset which briefly distracted him from the competition and Kojuro seemed to make short work.
"Auch..! Damnit Koj... Ehrm... Ichiro-kun!" He cursed as his arm was wrestled to the table blaming himself for getting so easily distracted. He now remembered what he had promised Kojuro.
"Ahhh..! No! This isn't fair, I was distracted!" he argued and turned to look where he had heard the voice coming from - of course it was those rowdy guys at the other table that made things difficult for her and he clenched his teeth. 1-20

Kojuro drank to the ronin life with Yasuke and was starting to feel like he could really use some of those snacks to absorb some of the alcohol that was now running around madly in his bloodstream. “I know,” he said, with an apologetic smile, before letting it fade. “I can’t deny my life is pretty privileged compared to most. I grew up with a sister, and with Kaen’s sisters, so talking to girls wasn’t really a big deal for me. My father … I’m sure he did his best to raise us children after my mother died. I was probably quite a handful. Not smart enough and getting into trouble all the time… ” he laughed quietly, but didn’t look very happy about it. That was true, he certainly wasn’t a model son, he’d always told himself that, but that didn’t exactly explain what his father had done afterwards…leaving for the House of Reason, not coming home for Genji’s wedding, and sundry other offences, and Kojuro’s feelings about the man were too confused to sort out now with the buzz of alcohol in his head. He just sat there in silence for a minute looking at nothing much. “and you’re right, I don’t know your father or … anything about what you’ve been through. But … you can tell me if you want. You turned out alright anyway,” he grinned trying to lighten the mood a little.
“Of course I work it daily! You should see my calligraphy!” he exclaimed in mock affront. Kojuro readily agreed to Yasuke’s further conditions and began to pit his strength against Yasuke’s meaty arm. He didn’t have to strain too hard however as suddenly Yasuke’s strength seemed to give way and Kojuro almost effortlessly pushed his hand back against the tabletop. “I win! Time to meddle in your love life!” Kojuro crowed, before taking a moment to think about why the victory was so easy. “Huh? What is it?” He looked over, following Yasuke’s gaze to the table of ne’er-do-wells who were messing with Kuri. “I don’t know about you but I think we should say something! For a start Kuri can’t bring us manju if she has to deal with those guys all night and I’m getting hungry!” He looked over to the table and began to stand. “After all, if you can’t protect Kuri from those men, what kind of samurai, and what kind of potential lover would you be?”

"Yeah your life is pretty privileged..." Yasuke muttered and crossed his arms although he didn't quite intent to utter it as loud as he had done. "I mean... it's just that..." Yasuke said and scratched his neck. "I didn't tell you about my childhood?" he said now feeling pressured to actually give Kojuro some sort of explanation to why he had sounded a tad bitter. "My dad..." he said and tried to look for the right words pursing his lips. "He had a different way of raising me and my sister than I've heard most parents.
"My sister kept to herself and that was probably why he wasn't after her too much, but almost everyday he had a new 'lesson' to teach me and it quite often involved a beating or some other physical punishment." he said and reminisced that time shaking his head. "One day I had fallen asleep while chopping wood and as punishment he had thrown the logs into the nearly frozen lake and asked me to go retrieve them. He had counted the logs and thrown them out quite far." Yasuke said and sighed. "The few times my sister did something stupid I knew she would be punished for I would do something even worse to get her off the hook. "So yeah, there were a few 'lessons' to be learned there." Yasuke said with a forced grin. "Turned out alright? I guess what turned out alright was that my sister fled when she was sixteen and me a couple of years later. I don't know about my mom though." Yasuke said and shrugged.
"Awww damn!" Yasuke lamented as Kojuro celebrated his victory. Meddling in Yasuke's things was the last thing Yasuke wanted but he couldn't really tell him no after loosing the bet and at the same time there was a very small part of Yasuke that argued that Kojuro's advice might help him. But first there was a few hindrances that were to be taken care of.
"I agree." Yasuke said and grabbed Kojuro by the sleeve and strutted over to the table where the three large goons were arguing and being generally quite threatening. She was giving back what she could but it seemed like her words didn't dissuade the three guys at the table from wanting free sake all night claiming she had tried to cheat them
"Oi!" Yasuke said and slammed his hand into the table so the three men and Kuri stopped arguing for a while. "This guy is Sasaki 'Rat Beard' Ichiro, the toughest motherfucker west of Tokhung - and he just ordered snacks. Are you three people really going to put yourself between him and his snacks?" Yasuke coerced giving the three of them a mean glance.

Kojuro shook his head. Yasuke hadn't mentioned much about his life before joining the Hizashi clan, or even afterwards. He didn't like to talk about his past much, and aside from knowing that he had been a wandering ronin for many years, Kojuro didn't know much about his friend's background at all. He was silent as he listened to what Yasuke had to say, not wanting to disturb him with questions in case he decided to stop talking altogether. “Well... that does sound excessive,” he replied thoughtfully. Most kids got hit or beaten a little, but there was a line between discipline and cruelty and normally most people could see where that ended. Even if it was a little blurred at times, making a child swim into a frozen lake to pick up logs seemed pretty far across the line to him. “You were a good older brother, then. Even though it was tough for you, you still looked out for your sister,” he said, wanting to show him something positive out of the experience. Of course Yasuke was the kind of guy who would protect his sister.
Maybe they would have a chance to talk about it more later, but right now there was a young girl who was being obstructed from serving them manju. As Kojuro stood he felt a slight wave of dizziness, and being dragged across the tavern to the brawny men's, everything looked a little less focused than it might otherwise be. Kojuro was a little drunker than he might have assumed when he was sitting down, but that wasn't going to stop him. “That's right,” said 'Sasaki', “They call me 'Rat Beard'. Wanna know why?” He looked at them all in the eye, “that's right! Because my beard looks like the home for a family of rats, and you'd be right, it is! Those rats would nip your face clean off! You'd better believe it. Now, boys, trouble is not what I want. What I want is manju. So, I'll give you a choice. If you let the young lady go about her business, we can all eat manju together, my treat. But if you are going to delay me getting my manju... I'm gonna have to make manju out of one of you!” He glared at the thugs, hoping he seemed convincing as a tough guy yakuza type.

"Yeah, they call him 'rat beard'!" Yasuke said and pointed his thumb at 'Sasaki' and nodded as he kept up the menacing glare awaiting what intimidating explanation Kojuro would come up with. "Yeah that's ri... Wait what..?" Yasuke said and turned to Kojuro. "Kojuro...! That's not intimidating...!" Yasuke whispered harshly at his accomplice though that didn't seem to stop him. Yasuke glanced back at the thugs and to Yasuke's surprise it seemed as if Kojuro's threat wasn't without success and Yasuke reckoned it was either himself hyping 'Sasaki' or the fact that they thought he was utterly mad and unpredictable.

However only two of them seemed have been sufficiently scared as not to speak up - a third one build as a boulder stood up and towered well above both Kojuro and Yasuke.
"You cowards, don't you think we deserved free sake?" he said and glared at his comrades, his thin but rather long hair abruptly disappearing in a thinning at the top fooling you to think he was a lot older than he was. Yasuke reckoned he was no more than thirty years old and that he could chop wood with those hands and grind the logs to sawdust with his little teeth - and probably did considering the state of them.
"I'm gonna give you the beating of your lifetime, little maggots. And then I'll have you eat your own beard!" he threatened Kojuro pointing his finger straight at him. Yasuke didn't like where this was going and he knew that if he struck first he might have a chance to end this quickly and thus he stepped in without a moment's hesitation as the big oaf was busy threatening 'Sasaki'.
"Just drop dead you monkey!" Yasuke yelled and with his left fist went straight for solar plexus.

Despite Yasuke whispering in his ear that it was not so, the results spoke for themselves. Kojuro nodded towards the men, as he put his hands on his hips. “You made the right choice, boys! Let’s all eat manju and get so drunk we can’t even find our winkies when we need to take a piss! That’s how we do things out in the back country!” He winked conspicuously at Yasuke, hoping this was more like the thug talk that he expected.
Unfortunately for the triumphant Rat-Beard Sasaki, one of the thugs was not content with this arrangement. He was an impressive looking man, indeed, Kojuro thought. He had rarely seen someone so notably hideous. “What do you deserve free sake for exactly, good sir? In sympathy for the sad loss of your hair?” This was more like the coarse ronin conversation that Yasuke wanted Sasaki to engage in. Strangely, this did not endear him to the large man and he was presented with a threat. Kojuro instantly took a step backwards, sizing up the environment. If the man tried anything, this could well be the perfect time to try out those judo moves that Yasuke had taught him.
But before Kojuro could reply, let alone throw the thug around the floor of the sake house, Yasuke felled the man with a well-timed blow to the solar plexus and he doubled over in agony and fell to the floor gasping for breath. It seemed as though Yasuke had got his strength back after the disappointing arm wrestle at least. “Looks like Yasuke decided to make pounded mochi out of you rather than manju, huh?” he said to the thug as he bent down slightly, stroking and readjusting his ratty beard. “Nice going, sempai!” he congratulated Yasuke, as he took a seat at the thugs’ table. “Now, snacks all round!”
