"Namen janaide kudasai." (Don't underestimate me.) Jurie said to herself.

With that she pulled out her katana and slashed right through the padlock, leaving it to fall to the ground with a loud clang.

"Let's go!"

They burst through the door, taking in the fork in the hallways.

"Which way Angel?" Rami asked looking back and forth at the hallways.

Jurie squinted down the dark hallways and pointed down to the right hallway.

"Let's go!"

Together they hurried down the hallway searching for a suitable way to shoot their flare. When they reached a balcony, presumably on the North face of the building, they stepped out and Rami lifted the flare into the air, signalling for the first army to attack, then they continued along the hallway always only turning right. Once they reached the second hallway, they scanned for any gaps or windows that they could shoot the second signal through. There was a room, and that room would have windows, however it was guarded by two very heavily armed soldiers. 

How strange... Jurie mused to herself. How come there are soldiers here when there weren't any one our way here?

They either found out that they were infiltrated or those soldiers were simply stationed there by their senior in command. 

Take them down? Or knock them out? 

"Knock them out." Jurie whispered to Rami, "don't kill them."

"How generous of you Jurie." 

"Shut up! I'm feeling generous today." 

"Alright alright." He raised his hands in surrender as Jurie threw a glare at him and his sarcastic comment.  

They surged forward surprising the soldiers standing guard. With the hilt of her sword raised, she slammed the bottom of it onto the soldiers head, knocking him out cold, from behind before he could even fire his gun. Needless to say Rami was the same, and beamed at Jurie with his familiar arrogant smirk. 

"Yeah Yeah, don't look at me like that you arrogant fool." Jurie rolled her eyes. 

Spotting the lever to opening the window, Jurie stepped towards it and unclasped it from the window. It was a push up window. Taking hold of the metal bar at the bottom of the window, Jurie pushed the window up and stuck her hand out of it, firing the second signal. 

"Seriously Jurie?" Rami pouted. "You've got to let me do something, its not a one man show you know my Angel." 

Rami's eyes widened. S***!  I let it slip. He had let the endearing and slightly possessive word slip from his lips. He peered back at Jurie and realised that she hadn't noticed the slip of his tongue, instead found her engrossed in tying the soldiers up one to each of the table legs and then proceeding to tie their legs, feet and arms together, in complicated notes that he doubted she would know how to untie it herself. 

Feeling eyes on her back, Jurie turned around to see Rami, watching her with an incredulous look on his face. "I see that we're getting creative aren't we?" He laughed. "Tying people up." 

"Whatever. Let's go." Jurie smiled, before turning around and walking out the room. "Hurry up or I'll lock you in with them!" 

~~~~~

Rami rushed into the room heeding the young woman's orders. Six months ago he'd never thought he would be doing this, completing a mission with the daughter of the rival clan. But here he was. Another thought came to mind...what if these missions were set up? But the question was by who? Then came the question why?

But he shrugged it off and sent the second flare flying, signaling the attack from the wings. He rushed out of the room just as Jurie was about to close it.

"Nice to know you were actually serious about locking me in."

Jurie shrugged and then motioned for him to follow her lead. They then reached another room. A room Rami remembered very well. The commander's office.

"Are you sure?" he asked cautiously.

"Derek could be in there." said Jurie curtly. Then she gestured towards the door. "You may do the honors... since this isn't a one man show"

Rami smiled. He hadn't smashed open a door in God knows how long and he couldn't wait to do it.

The wood gave an all sickening splintering groan before tearing apart and falling to pieces all around them. The right side of his body hurt, but he ignored it. If you think too much about the pain it will hurt more.

Three guns poised at his chest. One Derek's, two other a men he didn't recognise. A sense of Dejavu hit him. At least this wasn't as bad as last time.

A shot fire. There was a whip of the arrow. Jurie, Rami and Derek stood alone in the room. Derek's gun smoking from taking the life of a man. The other man frozen stiff from Jurie's "magic" arrows.

Rushing to the window Rami let out the third and final flare. Already he could hear the clash of the armies as they met.

Jurie who had finished inspecting the two dead men called over to both of them.

"Might as well join the fun." she said. "They'll need all the help they can get."

Derek nodded, whereas Rami merely smiled.

The smile stayed plastered on his face until he saw their escape route, the very wall he had fallen from a few days ago.

"Goddammit Jurie you have an obsession this wall."

Jurie rolled her eyes and groaned "Suck it up princess!" she said before leaping from the wall with the aid of a rope which Rami could not remember her carrying earlier.

"Princess!" he scoffed, offended. Great now he had to think of another nickname for her.

Derek laughed and Rami shot him a glare. "What? It's funny...you getting verbally beaten by a girl."

"Shut it and get down before I push you off!"

"Alright your majesty!" replied Derek.

Rami scowled he hated not having the last say in an argument. He went down, his heart beating fast as he remembered almost getting killed while falling. His feet reached the ground and he sighed with relief.

"We'll split up." said Jurie already strategising. Typical. Thought Rami. "And them round up everyone. Try not to get killed."

Rami mused at how simple but effective Jurie's strategies usually were. The three of them split up.
