Well, today was a hell of a night.

While on his way to the lab, Harkens found himself accosted by several men. Judging by their cheap suits, neck tattoos and the weird cologne, he had a few ideas as to who they were and who they were working for. Turning around, he sighed and told them
"Can I help you gentlemen?"

"Yeah. You ever heard of a guy goin' by Shark?"

"... If I say no, you're still gonna kill me, right?"

"Never hurts to make sure."

With that, one of them swung out with his sword, only for Harkens to jump back.

Well then. As the group began to close in on him, he twirled the cane he held in his left hand.

"I take it that talking's out of the question."

Frankly. Hanako would have loved to drive everywhere all the time. But, honestly? She couldn't afford to. Maybe if she was someone like Kinaki Kirihara or something? Not on her budget, though. So she walked from point a to point b whenever it was reasonable, and still took public transport a lot.

She was just on her way back towards the bus after visiting Masumi when she stumbled upon a scene. She recognized the young man they were advancing on. That was…Harkens, right? One of the legion of American transfers Taiyotono seemed to have. He seemed okay, she supposed. The others? They had that look of them of Yakuza.

There was one being ganged up on by many, and in the backstreets: Maybe the conditions were similar enough to when she almost died. Maybe it was because it was simply that she'd acquired an intense dislike of Yakuza with her recent experiences. Maybe it was just because no one else was there?

In any case, it motivated her to act, she moved quickly and quietly, her balisong barely made a whisper of a 'click' when it was opened. She intended to bury it's blade into the back of the one who swung the sword, aiming for his back, slightly to the side.

Just as the group were about to make another move at Harkens, one of them let out a sharp cry of pain. As it turns out, having a knife stuck to your back hurt quite a bit.

The group turned towards the newcomer, a girl.

Well, no one likes witnesses.

Turning their attention away from Harkens for a moment, several of them proceeded to run at the girl, thinking that some girl with a knife is easy pickings.

'And…it's too late to back off. I hope you are prepared for how this can go down…just don't kill anyone, okay?!'

She didn't make any promises. Instead when she saw their attention was turned to her she acted quickly and decisively. With one hand she twisted the knife still lodged in that idiot's back. At the same time she snatched the back of his head to move him in the way of his friends.

Let him take the first blow. after that she'd snatch the knife out and shove him into the others coming for her. Then she'd put some of that training Serpentina gave her to good use. She had to separate them and deal with them one at a time if possible, and get them out of the fight but alive make them waste time and people who could be fighting looking out for their ailing buddies.

She planned to snatch the wrist of one of the thugs holding a weapon and use it to pull them towards her. She planned to jab the knife into his armpit, directly upwards and then snatch it away tearing though muscle and tendon alike to keep him from using that weapon against her.

"Yeah, just go, Harkens. I've got this."

Her eyes were open for other threats. Watching blades and the hands that wielded them, looking for openings to strike, making sure they wouldn't surround her or opportunities to use to her advantage.

Well, Harkens had an option. He could either run and leave the girl to her fate or stay and help her.

As he began to slink away, one of the thugs proceeded to get up in his face.
"Don't think we've forgotten about you."

With a nervous smile, he told the man,
"Well, I think you need to worry less about me and more about her."

He pointed over at the girl currently trying to carve her way through them. The thug briefly turned away from Harkens to take a look at Hanako. Just enough for Harkens to jab him in the midquarters with his cane and deliver a blow to the head as he crumpled forward. Kicking away the body, he leaned up agains the cane as he observed the fight.

One more douchebag, incoming! No, make that two!

She stepped into close quarters with the first one quickly, far quicker than people would have expected even in a real fight, and to close for his longer blade to be really useful, Suddenly and brutally she tried to ram her elbow into his nose with all of her strength. She hoped to break it quite seriously, or at least stun him for a second.

If she did? She planned to stab his comrade quickly twice in the stomach, then give the first guy the same treatment. It'd hurt, and hopefully be debilitating, but there were enough no-questions-asked doctors in the backstreets that they'd have those looked at so they wouldn't bleed out today or die of infections tomorrow, if they were smart.

If they weren't? Well…that was on them, not her.

Hmm. Quick, strong, knows what to do in a fight. Harkens was actually impressed. Especially considering how she was doing against armed opponents.

Meanwhile, the group was quickly thinning out. There were about four thugs left. They began to look at each other. Was picking a fight with this girl worth it?

Maybe if they all ran at her at the same time, they could end it all at once.

The problem with fighting multiple opponents at once? While the lesser could focus on only one place at a time, maybe more if they're feeling fancy, attacks could come from all angles. Somewhere along the line, she zigged when she should have sagged, and as a result, a brass knuckle connected with her jaw.

She stumbled backwards but any indication she was out of the fight was quickly put to rest when she let out a low, long snarling growl. The sort normally only heard by large, frightning creatures like bears or hardcore soccer hooligans. She glared up at them, spitting out some blood.

"Now? I'm good and pissed off. I hope you're ready. It gets really nasty from here on out."
She gave them a death glare and brandished her bloodied blade. She was prepared to make good on that boast, but if those morons decided that it was a good idea to gather up their buddies and beat a hasty retreat? She wasn't gonna stop 'em…

The remaining thugs proceeded to look at each other and weigh the options.

And after about five seconds, they proceeded to scatter and run.

With that, Harkens proceeded to walk towards Hanako, making sure to step over the bodies of the unfortunate victims.
"Can I just say, big fan of your work. Not a big fan of you knowing who I am, but I'm willing to overlook that."

"Uh-huh…so, like, you're a second year at Taiyotono, right?"

Beyond that? Who knows? "Crap, I think I killed some of these assholes." She sounded more annoyed than truly concerned, but just the same, now that the fight was over, she checked them over, ready to call an ambulance, or even to use healing spells if that's what was really needed.

"Anyways, why exactly is the Yakuza after you?"
