*sigh* "Talk about a way to spoil a perfectly good cajun meal...."

His near empty bowl hit the counter as he spun to face the customer in the corner.... The blue garbed man froze instantly at the horrific sight.... The visitor had the worst table manners imaginable.... Food was flying everwhere.... All the blue one could do was watch as the wild man finished up....

"Great food here, huh?!" the wild one exlaimed smirking....

"...."

"Not big on conversation? Fine with me...." the wild man mumbled....

Just as fast as the man had eaten he had kicked the table upwards smashing it into a million pieces against the ceiling.... Shards flew through the air as one large portion fell in front of the slob blocking the wanderers view just long enough to hear the feint sound of an unsheathing blade....

"I'll be waiting Mr. Hero...." the wild customer whispered....

He drew his word with an instantaneous movement as the chunk of table hit the ground and.... Gone.... Thee was nothing.... A flash at the door.... He sheathed his blade again with a confused look plastered to his face....

"That guy is ******** crazy...."

Pondering why the man would even bother if he was going to run, Mr. Hero turned back to the bar and froze.... The confusion was immediately replaced by anger.... Before his feet lie the bloody pulp of a corpse that was the cook....

"Damn it.... I need to move quick...."

He bolted out the door and down a nearby alley.... Through the back alleys of the town the framed man made his way several miles further north into the city while debating his situation....

"I know I was seen going in.... And I can be certain that he wasn't....

By this time the sun had set and the streets were empty.... It wasn't long until he'd come across a band of hooligans down one of the dark passages he was navigating.... They had someone cornered and were giving the person a hard time in more ways than one.... It wasn't uncommon for a group of thugs to mark chase a mark into one of the back alleys and cut them off before roughing them up and taking them for all they were worth.... Today was no different than any other....

"It's none of my business...."

Ignoring the misfortune of others was common place for him and he'd gotten into enough for one night in this city already.... The traveler began to turn away to find a way around when he heard her voice.... The delicate cry stinging his ear.... A woman...? Now ever man has a weakness, and unfortunately for this group of lowlife scum, women was his....

"Are you going to give in easy or not you dirty slut?!" the middle thug spat....

"Leave me alone.... I'm not like that...."

"Oh you will be...." one of the men said chuckling softly....

He paused as both of his allies slumped to the dirt, pools of blood slowly forming beneath.... Before any words could leave the wretched attacker's lips, the girl's defender snapped his neck, not having it in him to shed more blood before the terrified young lady's eyes.... She looked up at him and took his hand as he helped her to her feet....

"Thank you so much.... How can I thank you?"

"Don't worry about it.... I'm glad you're safe...."

She grabbed his arm as he turned to leave....

"Please.... I'll do anything.... I need an escort home anyways.... It's too dangerous out here...."

An idea hit him like a bat out of hell....

"Well...." he smiled....

*sigh* "Talk about a way to spoil a perfectly good wine buzz....

He pushed the nearly nude women off his lap and glanced at the dark stranger.... The red garbed man froze instantly at the unexpected sight.... The other visitor had multiple women hanging all over him.... Breasts were bouncing everywhere.... All that he could do was watch as the dark man finished up....

"Great women here, huh...?" the dark one exclaimed smirking....

"...."

"Not big on conversation? Fine with me...." the dark man mumbled....

The man slowly stood up, allowing the women to flee the room.... Alone in the room they both steadily drew their weapons.... Cautiously, both began circling the area, waiting for an opening.... No opening would be found though for a women burst into the room screaming.... Distracted by the lady's outburst, the traveler failed to notice the enemy's exit....

"I'll be waiting Mr. Defender...." the dark customer whispered....

The woman stopped screaming and opened her eyes.... They widened at the sight of the wanderer's sword and ran.... He barely noticed his opponent part through the door, but couldn't piece it together....

"That guy is ******** creepy...."

Pondering why the man would even bother if he was going to run, Mr. Defender turned back to the door that the girl had burst from and froze.... The confusion was immediately replaced by anger.... Beyond the door lie the body of a geisha....

"Damn it.... I need to move quick...."

He bolted out of the building and down a nearby alley.... Through the back alleys of the town the framed man made his way several miles further north into the city while debating his situation....

"I know I was seen with my sword drawn.... And I can be sure that he wasn't...."

By this time it was well into the night and the streets were completely desolate.... It wasn't long before he'd come to a small temple.... The doors were open and voices could be heard from within.... As he passed by he could hear several men giving someone a hard time in more ways than one....

"It's none of my business...."

Ignoring the misfortune of others was uncommon for him, but he'd gotten into enough trouble for one night.... The wanderer began to walk away when he heard her voice.... The sharp snap stinging his ear.... A woman...? Now ever man has a weakness, and unfortunately for this group of hoodlums, women was his....

"Are you going to give in or what you pain in the a**?!" One of the men spouted....

Leave me alone.... I'm not like that....

"Hmph, you will be...." the middle man said grinning....

He paused as two of his team mates slumped to the floor, pools of drool slowly flowing from their mouths.... Immediately following, three other men dropped.... The last man couldn't even move before the girl's hero bashed the side of his head with the butt of his sheath, hoping to avoid any blood shed in front of her.... She looked up at him and scowled as if he'd done something wrong....

"I didn't need your help.... I took out the first two easily...."

"Well gee, don't worry about it.... Cause I'm just so glad you're safe...."

She grabbed his arm as he turned to leave....

"Wait.... I won't let you go.... No one can know of this...."

An idea hit him like a bat out of hell....

"Well...." he smiled....
