241	Myron: You know, you should really give your li-i-iver a bre— / / [[Diyero is already up to the gates]] / Myron: ... Nevermind. / / Diyero: [[Waves a patrolman over]] Hey, do you know where the nearest bar is? / Guard: Sure do, but it won't do you much good. To cut back on drunken-related crimes,... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=241
242	Diyero: [[Slaps the guard on the shoulder]] Haha, good one! / Guard: No, I'm serious. / [[Diyero's face is frozen in the laughing expression]] / [[Diyero's face is frozen in the laughing expression]] / [[Diyero's face is frozen in the laughing expression]] / Diyero: WHAT?! THAT'S CRUELTY AND TORT... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=242
243	Kogeru: [[turns to the others]] Ho-boy... / Hikari: Be a man and suck it up, bender. / Diyero: WOULD YOU STOP INSULTING ME EVERY FIVE SECONDS, DAMMIT?! [[Flexes his hands in a strangling motion at Hikari]] / Kogeru: [[Calmly drags Diyero off]] C'mon, let's find an inn so you can have your outburst... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=243
244	Narrator: Soon... / Diyero: [[Lying down on the bed]] Man, I've got a killer headache. / Hikari: It's called "withdrawal." Get used to it, bender. / Diyero: [[Opens his mouth to retort]] / Diyero: [[Closes it]] I'm not gonna bother. It's not worth it. / Myron: So... Hikari. Why don't you te-e-ell... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=244
245	Diyero: [[Pressing an icepack against his head]] Yes, crazy shinobi lady, I'd like to hear about what you've been doing since you came over here and began making my life miserable. / Kogeru: Where did you get that icepack?! / Hikari: ... Hhhmmmm... / Diyero: 'Hhhmmm' nothing! We're asking you a question!... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=245

246	[[Everyone looms over her, interested]] / Hikari: [[Coughs]] It was about half a year ago now, I think... / Hikari: Eh, perhaps I should give a little more background info for the shinobi ignorant in the group. / Hikari: Well, in Senjokuni, there are several different shinobi clans. We all specialize... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=246
247	Myron: So you believe? / Hikari: Well, it's not that I'm disagreeing; no, I actually still believe it is a shinobi's duty to do what's best for society by bringing justice from the shadows. / Hikari: I just mean that's a belief held by certain clans like mine; it is not shared by all. / Kogeru: Hm,... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=247
248	Diyero: Oh, now I'M rude?! / Kogeru: [[Whaps Diyero with the hilt of his sword]] Just be quiet. You don't want to anger her. / Diyero: Ow... My head... / Hikari: ANYway... [[Glares at Diyero]] / Hikari: As I said, my clan is one that is freelance, but with certain moral restrictions in what contracts... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=248
249	Hikari: [[Narrating]] While we certainly did not like the deeds of evil men, good wasn't really our rallying cause so much as justice. Though related at times, good and justice aren't always directly linked. My clan was the most powerful freelance shinobi group in Senjokuni. / [[Show three male shinobi]] / Hikari:... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=249
250	Kogeru: Yes, I remember shortly after the attack and you came to me. I must admit, I was honestly surprised. / [[Flashback -- night time in forest]] / Kogeru: [[Sitting against a tree, asleep]] / Kogeru: [[Eyes snap open just as a bloody hand clasps his shoulder]] ! / Hikari: [[Emerges from the shadows,... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=250

251	Hikari: (Senjose) It's Lord Ogata. He sent his army and attacked my clan. / Hikari: (Senjose) Thought we were a threat to his rising power. Damn him... / Hikari: [[Grips her upper left arm, which is still bleeding]] (Senjose) He had snipers in his ranks that hid just as well as my comrades... Bastards...>... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=251
252	Diyero: Damn. Having your home under assault is definitely not good... / Hikari: Your skill at obvious statements amazes me to no end. / Diyero: Hmph. [[looks away sulkily]] / Hikari: ...... Anyway.... / [[Flashback again -- back at the shinobi's headquarters... or rather, the remains of it; shinobi,... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=252
253	Hanzo: [[Sighs]] (Senjose) Perhaps, but we won't be able to do it from here, now that Ogata knows where it is. / Hanzo: (Senjose) We only have about a third of our clan left, so we're going to need a more remote and hidden place to call home from now on. / Hikari: (Senjose) Won't that just complicate... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=253
254	[[End flashback]] / Diyero: So where did you guys relocate? / Hikari: Pssh. I'm not telling you THAT. Not even Kogeru knows about that. / Myron: Why's tha-a-at? / Diyero: [[Holds up his hand to interrupt]] Lemme guess: If you told us, you'd have to kill us. / Hikari: Not as dumb as you look, are you,... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=254
255	Hikari: We, of course, did eventually relocate, once we salvaged what little we could from our old home and had gathered all the survivors. / [[Show shinobi helping another injured and a third carrying things]] / Hikari: [[Narrating]] My clan was tough and resourceful, but all the skill in the world... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=255

256	Diyero: You said he was your jonin, right? Some kinda leader? / Hikari: Yes. / Diyero: Why couldn't he force you to do your job, then? / Hikari: [[Narrating]] I was a chunin, a captain. While he outranked me, Hanzo was in very short supply of capable captains. / Hikari: [[Narrating]] He couldn't afford... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=256
257	Kogeru: Hm? / Diyero: They fired you?! / Hikari: ... / Kogeru: [[Smacks him on the head]] / Hikari: I guess to put it in... "Layman's terms..." [[Glares at Diyero]] / Hikari: ... Then, yes, they "fired" me, though that is certainly oversimplifying the real meaning and significance of it. / Hikari:... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=257
258	Hikari: Well, about three months ago... / [[Flashback]] / Hikari: [[Kicks down the door to Hanzo's office]] (Senjose) Hanzo-sama! / Hanzo: (Senjose) Hikari, what's the meaning of this?! You dare dismiss proper protocol in such a brazen matter? / Other shinobi: [[Mumbling amongst themselves]] / Hikari:... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=258
259	Hikari: [[Clenches fists]] (Senjose) That's no excuse! Don't you see by throwing aside our ideals, if even only for the time being, we allow evil men to grow in power and help keep the just downtrodden? / Hikari: (Senjose) How do you know that the man we agree to assassinate isn't the only lord standing... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=259
260	Hikari: (Senjose) You know as well as I do that it is within my every right as captain to do so. / Hanzo: (Senjose) Of course I do, but I do not think it wise— / Hikari: [[Unsheathes one of her tanto and points it at Hanzo]] (Senjose) To be blunt, I do not care how you think right now. I care how you... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=260

261	[[Shinobi mutter loudly and stand back, watching]] / Hanzo: [[Draws his weapon as well while standing]] / [[The two pace around the center floor]] / Hikari: [[Dives at Hanzo]] / Hikari: [[Swings dagger at Hanzo]] / Hanzo: [[Dodges the attack]] / Hanzo: and goes to strike Hikari's back with the side... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=261
262	Hikari: [[Twists out of the way of an attack]] / Hanzo: [[Jerks his head back and barely misses an attack]] / Hanzo: (Senjose) Hmph, I would expect no less. But I'm afraid you're still no match for me! / Hikari: (Senjose) We'll see about that! / Hanzo: [[Leaps above the female shinobi, flinging out... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=262
263	Hikari: [[Catches the kunai in her mouth and between her fingers]] / Hikari: [[Spits the needle in her mouth out while Hanzo watches over his shoulder]] / Gathered Shinobi: [[Mutter amongst themselves]] / Hanzo: (Senjose) Hmph. You always were my quickest pupil. / Hikari: [[Tosses the kunai back... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=263
264	[[Hanzo dodges the kunai]] / [[Hikari charges]] / [[Hanzo palm-punches Hikari in the jaw just as she slices at his arm]] / [[Hikari falls over and hits the ground]] / Hikari: [[Sees that her lip is bleeding through her mask]] (Senjose) Dammit... / [[Hanzo looks down at the cut on his sleeve -- only... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=264
265	Hanzo: (Senjose) I win. / [[Hikari wipes the blood from her lip, looking up at Hanzo.]] / Hanzo: (Senjose) You know the punishment for losing to the leader, Hikari. / Hikari: [[Bowing down]] (Senjose) Yes, I do... / Hikari: [[Offering up her swords]] (Senjose) My life is yours to take... Jonin. http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=265

266	Hanzo: (Senjose) ... Keep the daggers, Hikari. You'll need them for where you're going. / Hikari: [[Wide-eyed with shock]] (Senjose) What? / Shinobi: (Senjose) My lord, the law decrees that you must take her head for her insubordinate behavior! / Hanzo: [[Glaring]] (Senjose) SILENCE! I am the lord... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=266
267	Hikari: (Senjose) What do you command of me, then? / Hanzo: (Senjose) From this day forward, you are hereby banished from the Ueno clan. / Hanzo: (Senjose) Until you see the wisdom in my decision and the foolishness of your actions-and can truthfully admit them to the clan, you are forbidden to return... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=267
268	Hanzo: [[Staring]] (Senjose) Understood? / Hikari: [[Closing her eyes in grief]] (Senjose) ... Yes... / [[The flashback fades out.]] / Hikari: [[Clutching herself with an expression of sorrow]] Sometimes... I think... it would've been kinder for him to have killed me... / Mushin: (Senjose) No! Don't... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=268
269	Kogeru: Hmm... To be honest, Hikari-dono, I can see his way of think just as easily as your own. He probably hopes you'll return one day to aid the clan once again. / Hikari: But I can't do that... Though I understand why he did what he did, I can never agree with Hanzo's decisions. / Hikari: [[Waving... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=269
270	Myron: You're telling me! I haven't ha-a-ad a boring moment since I joined them! / Mushin: [[Cheering and throwing a fist in the air]] (Senjose) Lots of beat-downs! / Hikari: (Senjose) Well, all the more reason to stick around, then! / [[Diyero spits the piece of ice at Kogeru, bouncing it off his forehead.]] / Diyero:... http://www.rmtoads.com/rm/comic.php?page=270
