He continued his pursuit. In the last second, he hopped forwards somewhat, attempting to gain the last ground on her. If she does not draw her sword, his right hand shot forwards suddenly and from very close range, reaching for the hilt of her weapon. He's clench his fingers tightly around it and refuse to let go, knowing that if she tried to wrestle back her weapon after allowing him into close range, his grip was probably tougher than hers.

Taru had run off from his charge at Nameless, but that didn't mean he didn't have an attacker on his hands still. The weighted chain would go after Yoshitori instead. He had maneuvered this way intentionally, given that he was the only one of the group that was wearing any sort of armor, though his advance was still disrupted. While Yoshitori could have charged down Nameless, the bludgeon of being struck by the thrown weapon would stop him in his tracks. He braced for the hit, and used the kabuto helmet in his left hand as a shield to help tame the weapon in its descent. Because of this it was unlikely to wrap around him in any sort of constricting way, but Nameless was afforded the time to burst into action. His swords were drawn before Yoshitori could react, but with his own sword out, he was able to defend the subsequent slashes. His katana would angle itself vertically, bracing against Nameless' katana attack with a metal clatter, and as he parried, he leaped backwards suddenly, putting a slight amount of distance before him. Clang!
Swish!
A parry and a near-miss happened within the span of a second. He sneered, a twisted synergy of disgust and delight upon his lips and in his eyes... |

A wicked grin played across his face as he saw Pana had been effectively silenced by his boss, and his call had been heeded even when such a sudden turn of events had occurred from the woodsy edge of the road. "Where ya gonna go now? Don't struggle, and I wont bite... but if either of you two run..." It didn't take any explanation that his legs were much longer than either of theirs. Pana and Kiara were the size of children. Pana slowly put her pack down, pulling what appeared to be a short sword from the side and into her right hand. "Miss Kiara...run...I will keep him busy..." She whispered behind her to Kiara without looking away from Ishida. She kept her head low, keeping her sword out to her side to allow her better thrusting, but she remained between Kiara and Ishida without moving forward or back. |

"Oh? What's this??"
He looked almost aghast, but smiled when he realized that this was actually entertaining. A little person, brandishing a little sword, when they were in no danger of harm before. Now, he couldn't make such promises
And there was a ceremonial, savory slowness with which he drew his blade into a wide arc that ended with the point leading forward and threatening Pana in return, though his threat was considerably more tangible given the reach he had, both with his weapon and his capacity to chase her down. Whether or not he'd try to run Pana through depended on what Kiara tried to do, but actually trying to bolt off would be a bad idea...

nameless slid back and slid his wakizashi back into it's saya. He took his blade with both hands and held the blade out in front of him, the tip of the blade pointed at Yoshitori's throat. His feet were placed so he could move at any moment.
He noticed his stance, where everything was. But his eyes locked into his. He knew everything around him and what could come at him.

Muramatsu wasn't forward in the attack sequence, but his blades were ready, and so he began making his way to Tika's right side, since Taru was going right. In this way, she'd find it harder to escape. His right sword raised, readying to strike as he moved in to engage.

Yet as Kuro's hand shot for her hilt, the girl slid her right leg out and to the fore, diagonally and with the practiced grace of a dancer, carrying her body just slightly aside to align its vertical mass with Kuro's left shoulder. Had his intent been to tackle or ram as opposed to grabbing, she would have been knocked flat instantly. But she had timed her motion to occur just as his hand shot for her left hip, the context clues of the situation giving her a pretty good idea of what they were after, so that his hand's snatching motion would graze just by her left side.
It wasn't without an explosive counterattack. Executed with and supported by the shift in her weight and positioning, her left hand, in natural position near her sword's hilt, took the hilt of her blade into a backwards grip, yanking upwards in order to drive the brass kashira of her weapon straight into the soft crux of his solar plexus as they came near flush with one another. A slight elevation onto the ball of her left foot should, in such close quarters, seal the deal. Not only would he be hard pressed to see and defend in time given his preoccupation and close proximity, but the strike came with force enough to send him sprawling back for air as his allies closed in on her flanks.

"HAAH!!"
Whether or not Tika knocked down Kuro, Taru would come next, swinging his sword from his right to his left, cleaving horizontally for the small of her back with little reservation. She had just assaulted his friend, and this whole thing could have gone without violence. If it hit, it would cleave fatally, easily snapping Tika's frail spine.

Kuro admittedly did not see this coming, but he wasn't without reaction. He doubled forward slightly, sucking in his chest somewhat as his left hand rose to grasp her own hand wrapped around the hilt, applying force to stop it somewhat. All in all he shouldn't have his breath knocked out and wouldn't fall over. Yet he did leap backwards, gaining a small but vital amount of space in between him and her... but only to draw his weapon, practically whipping it forward into a one-handed frontal stance from its sheath, determined to put this at three swords against one to end this once and for all.

When Nameless went back, he went forward, now closing in.
As he closed in the distance, he clattered his blade against the right flat of the opponent's, allowing his point to slide into his guard, as he very gently guides Nameless' sword aside in an effort to slip past his defense or spark a reaction. Now that both fighters were on good footing, the match was beginning evenly... and a fair bout was always an excitement to Yoshitori, who showed no intention of letting up his advance. Should Nameless fail to move or respond adequately, Yoshitori would simply continue forwards, to where he could drive the kissaki into his left eye socket with a moderate final push.

Whether or not he'd try to run Pana through depended on what Kiara tried to do, but actually trying to bolt off would be a bad idea... Kiara not leaving made Pana a little sad. Clearly she didn't think Pana could do even this job. Perhaps it would be better for her to die against bandits after all. Pana slowly moved her left hand away from Kiara and brought her entire body to face Ishida as his blade was a foot away from her face. If she moved he would impale Kiara. If she stepped forward he would impale her. If she stepped back he would impale them both. The other woman fighting three men at once, and the leader running off to deal with some mysterious stranger. Pana intensely stared at Ishida, his stance, his posture his....glowing spot on his shoulder? Pana noticed light reflected off her sword, seeping through the trees above. The light darted back and forth with but the faintest movement on Pana's part. She had an idea. In a very subtle movement, her eyes still on Ishida's shoulders to watch for movements, she angled her blade a little downward to move the glow. Soon after, the light darted into Ishida's eyes with intent on blinding him temporarily. |

The light did catch his eye, and it was even somewhat noxious. He wouldn't become blinded or anything dramatic, but it was a slight annoyance.
"Hey cut that out... or I'll cut you! Last chance... Put. The sword. Away."
He bared his teeth now, to demonstrate that he was serious, that he wanted results with a sense of urgency but had no intention to simply kill the two girls in cold blood.

He moved back as he a rotated his blade along Yoshito's blade, his own hilt pointed towards the sky. Keeping his right hand on his blade, his left one shot out and latched onto his opponent's blade, his leather glove he was wearing provided grip as he angled his blade along his forearm. As soon as he did, with an almost inhuman strength he pulled his opponent's to him, making it go perpendicular to his chest and freeing his own blade to lift it up before leveling it to cut across his head in a single swift motion.
He could take the blow and it would be the end of him, or let go of his sword and hope he gets to a safe enough distance to not get hit by the razor sharp blade.

Meanwhile Muramatsu was moving in for the kill. He mostly kept his right side facing Tika, with the sword in his left hand on reserve should she somehow close in to his distance and counter-attack. After Tika strikes Kuro and Kuro steps back, Muramatsu positioned himself to Tika's left flank, close enough now to attack. It was three on one and she had become violent, and there was no reason to dally around any longer. He wanted to finish this quickly and certainly. As he came in, he drove his right sword straight into her left temple, the steel point easily crushing skull as it could puncture its way through the ear and bone. It was a full powered thrust, one that might burst from the other side of her skull and scramble her brain matter. But he had enough and she was silly to try harming them.
With her having gone forwards, shifting backwards to dodge would be too slow.

Just as she had struck her opponent and gained some breathing room, she knew the two other opponents had now closed in on her peripherals. This was no time to recover; both had attacked in nearly the same time, and their intentions and timing to attack her had been made clear. Taru went for a swift horizontal swipe across her back and Muramatsu struck with a thrust to the side of her face.
Tika's response bespoke an astounding awareness and a surprisingly well honed instinct for movement within combat. Having set up a strong base of footwork with the prior outwards sliding of her right foot, firmly grounding her stance to where she could move freely in each direction, her next step was but a continuation of an ongoing rhythm. First the right foot, now the left... Tika's next step brought her very widely aside and forwards in the space Kuro had made in his retreat, however swift. She'd end her step in a much lowered position, both knees bent sharply and lowering her stance with a confident sort of grace as her head ducked beneath the thrust, her being made aware by Muramatsu's stance of his intent. Her movement saw her twirling counter-clockwise as her right foot quickly followed suit in a half-moon shuffle that reoriented her body to the line of Muramatsu's thrust. Thus, in a single breath's time, she had changed position and effectively grouped all three fighters into her vision, with Taru slightly to her right flank.
Her right hand had taken control of her weapon's hilt in all this motion, and as it pulled, her left hand drew the saya back along her obi in unison. With both arms working in tandem, coupled with her body's twist, Tika's sword had come free in the blink of an eye in a draw that presented itself synergistically with her motion. The sayabiki performed with an expert's timing and agility, and the added benefit of stepping forwards from the direction of Taru's swing at her spine, and her sword would come to bear vertically just in time to meet the swing's horizontal blow and catch it violently by the habaki with a loud abrasive clatter, just as she dipped below and away from Muramatsu's thrust.

She moved to his left and blocked his attack just in the nick of time. He felt the shock of the blow but it was only slight due to her parry being at the end of his sword's cutting path. This left his sword more free to move in response. He twists left to continue facing her head on and realigns his sword, pulling back his blow halfway. From here he directs it downward and sends a powerful chop to her forward leg, seeing as how she was still in a wide stance and was vulnerable at the legs. Also in the wider stance, it was more difficult to simply evade, especially after such a complicated move was made. The attack was hard enough to cut to the bone or even sever the limb.. she was not getting away from this so easily.

While Taru attacks, he moves to Tika's back right, arcing around while Taru takes care of her with his smashing attack. He didn't see Tika getting out of that so elegantly, but should she try to flee or slip away again, he'd be there.
