[CycloneKira]

Akira listens to her story, a grim expression on his face. Something would have to be done about this. They couldn't possibly live like this, having to worry about someone or the other from Yusa's clan following them.

Suddenly, the window bursts open, followed by a smoke bomb thrown into the room. To make matters worse, the merchant comes bursting into the room, at the noise. Akira takes a cloth and ties it around Yusa's face, so she won't breath too much of the smoke.

"Sir, you need to leave the room for now, please let me take care of this!" He tries to shoo the man away, while a few kunai are being thrown at him through the window again. He manages to lock the merchant out without getting hit by any of the kunai.

Akira bolts for his bag and unsheathes his katana. He hides by the window, waiting for the hostile ninja to enter. He is poised, ready to attack.
