Gathering whats needed (Kuro/Open)

[Kurosaki]

The punch connected into the girl's stomach, sending her backward and causing her to fall onto a pile of treasure, a cry issuing out of her mouth. Having succeeded in his attack, Kaja's muscle man grinned with pleasure. He was clearly a little twisted like his Captain as Sarah had suggested.

"Oh, what's the matter little one? I thought Tanuki's were tricksters. You don't have any tricks up your sleeve for me? Okay then, I'll just have to take you to Kaja now," he told her, feeling as though he had all but defeated her since she was having trouble even sitting up now.

Walking slowly, the man breached the distance between them and went to grab Sarah by her shirt to haul her up to her feet, like an animal, so he could drag her upstairs to meet his Captain. He was sure that Kaja would be very pleased with him after this and that thought made him grin evilly as he loomed over the girl.

"Shit," Jin grumbled under his breath when he heard the yell from down below. First of all concern sprang to his mind. Was Sarah alright down there? Had someone been laying in wait for her as well? Jin could only hope that she was able to handle herself against whomever it was. The second thought that worried him was that Kaja now had confirmation that Jin had been lying about Sarah's whereabouts and, according to him, had known that she had been there the whole time and that Jin wouldn't have left her behind if Kaja's crew had been out there to be able to find her.

"Oh? You should be a Detective or something then if you're so smart," Jin replied back sarcastically, never taking his finger away from the trigger of his gun or looking away from Kaja. When the man called caring a flaw, Jin narrowed his eyes a little bit more, not liking this man one bit. In fact, he wanted to punch that smug look right off his face. If it wasn't for the gun pointed at him as well, he would have a while ago.

The man then twirled around, flipping his gun around. He wasn't very careful about it. Jin saw an opening to fire as he barely heard the man ask if he was going to fight him or help her

"Both," Jin responded curtly, turning the safety off and then pulling the trigger. The pistol was aimed at the man's arm. If the bullet hit its mark the man would not only be severly injured but would also lose his ability to hold his weapon.

The girl didn't see him walk toward her till it was too late. She felt his hand on her shirt, but that triggered her to growl dangerously. The Tanuki girl attempted to kick her feet out violently, trying to kick the mans legs out from under him.

"Don't touch me!" she snapped, still wincing a bit because of her stomach, but she maned to keep her composure pretty much. She fixed her large brown eyes on him, the anger in her eyes obvious.

" I dont much want to see my uncle, he seems to be an over confident bastard like you!" she snapped, her tail fur puffed out.

Kaja chucked a little but, the bullet struck his shoulder, bit it also seemed to make a clang against something. He closed the eye closest to where it shot and raised his arm.

"my turn" he grinned, shooting his gun at Jin, as he did, he moved his cape he was earing off the shoulder that was shot, to show steal shoulder armor underneath the cape.

"you cant be a wanted man like me without needing some protection boy, My little raccoon niece needs to learn that too" he grinned "she still wears nothing to defend her if shes shot at, its rather silly, she needs to be taught to be a proper pirate, not some pathetic little adventurer...no wonder her father couldn't make me "Ah-e Ah-e Ah-e keekee"

The dark pirate seemed to move his hand to the side, to show an eyepatch resting gently in his palm.

" I bed you anything that my little niecey was looking for this..." he smiled darkly" she thinks im stupid enough to leave a prize in my treasure room...heh..silly...

Why would I leave her fathers eye patch down there, when I can hold such a grand trophy in my hand"

[Kurosaki]

When Sarah fought back, the man seemed a bit taken by surprise. He reared back, teeth clenched together and eyebrows narrowed then a shocked look appeared on his face as the girl suddenly whipped one of her legs at his and tripped him up. He fell over backwards and wasn't able to regain his balance. The massive man struck the wooden floor hard but it only seemed to make him more enraged. Steam almost issued from his nose.

"Once I get ahold of you, Imma put you in a cage for that, little one!" he roared before reaching to grab her again and fling her across the room in an attempt to knock her out.

Being a marksman made Jin's eye for things like this good. He could almost see how the bullet spun in the air; imagining it mostly in his mind. It seemed to strike home but the sound of the bullet clanging together with a foreign substance was picked up by Jin's ears. He frowned and then scowled, realizing that he had been a little too quick to assume some things about his opponent. It seemed he had come to this fight more prepared than he had seemed.

That was when the man raised his arm. Jin saw the shot coming and immediately dove to the side. The bullet struck and embedded into the wooden wall behind him, barely missing his head by an inch. It whizzed by his ear even.

Jin straightened up quickly and barely heard what the man said as he gloated about his brilliance in protection and that his niece didn't know anything about what being a real pirate was about.

"And I suppose you think that she should take more after a deranged person like you? Don't make me laugh." When Kaja then showed him that he had really taken the item that Sarah was searching for and had it in the palm of his hand, Jin actually just grinned.

"Well that will just make that ten times easier for me. All I have to do now is pry that little trinquet from your hold dead hand to give to Sarah," Jin responded calmly as he raised his gun in such a fast, fluid motion that it seemed to pass in a time of it's own. He then fired three shots in rapid succession. All of them were oddly aimed at his feet. If he didn't move back then he would get shot. Each shot would get him further back. Then Jin raised his gun further and shot straight above Kaja's head.

It seemed like he had purposefully missed. But just as Kaja began to gloat he would find that Jin had really shot a rope, severing it, and now a sail beam was headed straight at him; about to fall on his head.

The girl attempted to move, attempted to get out of the way the best she possibly could, but it was no use. The large man had manged to grab a hold of the back of her shirt in her attempt to get away quickly, and she was flung into the wall, loud crunch as if the wood she hit cracked. After all the poor girl was still wobbly from the blow she had received earlier from the man, she wasn't as quick an agile as she normally was.

With a loud little thump she was herd falling to the ground in the treasure room, the force was strong enough to knock her pretty much completely out, all she did was groan and whine a little bit from the pain that her now slightly bleeding head was feeling. where she had struck the wall,a few of the bords had snapped, there was a small blood spot where her head had hit.

"ah-e Ah-e Ah-e keekee!" Kaja laughed " sounds like to me theres an awful bad fight going on down there, my poor little niece, she must of insulted my friend, he doesn't take kindly to insults you know, and knowing my little niecey poo she spouted as many as she could about me and my crew kee kee"

Kaja smirked, as he was shot at, bit the evil pirates eyes seemed to almost be following the bullet, and as the bullet missed him, he took a almost seamless and secrete step back, so as the sail beam came crashing down, though it appeared as if it was going to fall on his head, crashed in front of him. But the evil pirate well with it, as if to trick Jin to think he was struck, even making a fake crack noise into the ground. He laid there motionless for the moment, a secrete smirk hidden on his crazy face.
