[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu knew Toshi wasn't 'that' accepting of her tengu part yet, and he didn't want Toshi to end up running away over anything that was said like she did last time. He quickly pulled out his sword, pointing it at the man and at the same time one of his arms wrapped around Toshi, forcing her into his chest with one ear flat against it and her other ear covered by a hand.

Yuu was scared as well. The more he looked at the individual in front of him, the more he felt that he had seen him from somewhere before, and his words did hint that they had at least met previously. "Leave her out of this.." it dawned on Yuu after he put the pieces together: they wouldn't go through all the trouble of bringing a 'marked' back or because they weren't living in any villages, but instead they wanted them for what they actually were, "Are you the one responsible for the experiments?"
