He'd hit the girls shield pretty hard and had to steady himself again. He hadn't really expected that. He made his stance a little lower with a slight bend of the knees, this should help him keep his balance a little better. With a smirk and another twirl of his machetes he was about to try again when something had shot out of the floor. His eyes widened and before he could react what ever it was hit him in the jaw. And hit him hard. He'd stumbled back and tripped over a few loose books.
He laid on his back for a few seconds laughing. For some reason, this was all funny to him. He turned over a bit and spit a bit of blood out from a new cut on his lip. He studied the new addition to the situation. This guy seemed to come out of no where, was he the invisible one? Either way he needed to get him back. He pulled a smaller knife from a pocket and threw it at the new comer's leg. With any luck he could cause enough pain to just drop him to his knees for a chance to strike harder. |

Toru flipped around landing on his feet after kicking the gang member. He stood and looked at him. He needed a shower, and for some reason he found the whole situation funny. Toru kept a straight face.
Toru leaped up as the knife came for his leg. It missed him by an inch. As he came down he didn't have enough time to make a safe landing. He was about to land on his head so he turned into a shadow just as he hit the floor. He appeared to go right through the floor but he was just a two-dimensional silhouette that moved around on the floor. he moved swiftly and came out back into solid form right beside the gang member. He grabbed his hair and slammed his head on the floor. It was a hard task because the Skull Crushers hair was so greasy. His hands almost slipped off as he brought his head upward.
He stood up, backed up closer to the girl then pulled the katana, that was sheathed on his back, out of it's scabbard. He flipped it around and pointed it towards the gang member who laid on the floor.

He snorted as he saw the knife stick into the wall. He was hit with a wall of confusion as the other guy seemed to just disappear. He wasn't invisible, he looked like ha went right through into the ground. Yaro only remembered one person who could do that, the prick that had left him half stuck in a wall about a month ago. He'd never forget that mans face and he swore he'd get some payback sooner or later.
He tried scrambling to his feet as the man reappeared right beside him. Not enough time. He felt the force of his head being slammed into the floor. He brought his hands up to his head and rolled onto his back in pain. His ears started to ring and his vision went sort of fuzzy. He hadn't had a hit on him quite like that in a long time. "Ahhggg..." He groaned. He's probably be out off the streets for a while after this.
Once his vision cleared he saw the sword pointed at him. He snorted and very slowly got to his feet. A little dizzy, he had to steady himself a bit and close his eyes to regain himself. "Alright, alright..." he groaned, keeping one hand on his head and the other out in front of him, "Toss me my knife and I'll leave..." |

Toru stood down but kept an eye on the gang member. He backed up to the wall and beside the girl. He looked at her and bent down and took the knife out of the wall. He originally thought to just hand it to him but he didn't trust this guy. He didn't trust any gang member. He held out his hand with the knife in it and slowly walked toward the man.
He made it look like he was going to hand it to him but then swung it around and threw it at the door. It stuck and wobbled back and forth. "Now get out of here." He spoke with sincere anger. "Leave this girl alone." He suddenly hoped he didn't offend her by making it sound like she was harmless and needed help to fend for herself. But maybe she did. He stood in the same pose and waited for the Skull Crusher to leave. He was good at intimidating others, especially with the sword that he normally had equipped.

He glared at the man as he tossed the knife past him. He put his machete he had out back in it's hilt and flipped him off before turning around and slowly walking away. He normally wouldn't give up, but the blow to the head had made him a little unstable and he knew he wouldn't really be able to take much more. He was surprised he was still conscious.
He pulled the knife from the door and mumbled a few obscenities under his breath and left the library. He'd get the Asian man back he just needed some time to recover a bit. He probably had a concussion. |

Toru kept his serious face when the gang member flipped him the bird. He wasn't effected by that or insults people threw at him. He had enough self-esteem to ignore dumb comments and gestures. He waited untill te Skull Crusher left, then turned around to the girl still standing behind him.
"You okay?" He asked. He hoped she didn't get offended. He had just saved her life, and whether or not she could fend for herself, he saved her a lot of trouble. "I'm Toru, by the way." He held out his hand in invitation to shake it.

Aleya stood stock still, Her shield waving around infront of her. Lighting up the room still, Her eye's flickered back and forth between the two men. It was quick and fast.. and just like that over. As the skull crusher left, her shield quickly dispersed. A hand rushed to her forehead as she closed her eye's and sighed..
That was till she heard a voice, Her eye's flickered onto the guy who had well basically beat the Gang member up, Hearing his question she nodded "Yeah yeah.. I'm alright." she stated softly. Pushing herself off the wall and dusting herself off a bit. Upon his hand gesture she took it softly "Aleya.. Thanks by the way Toru.." she spoke softly with a smile.

Toru smiled, as he rarely did. It was mostly when someone said something nice to him, which wasn't too often. He spent most of his time fighting gangs and criminals. Not the types to give you a compliment when you're trying to stop them. "You're welcome." He said. He always felt awkward saying things like that. He had no problem saying thank you, but saying you're welcome made him feel weird.
He had pretty much saved her, even if she could have saved herself. The gangs didn't often stray way out here in the West Side, especially not alone. The Skull Crushers were usually in packs. "Well I must be going now." He said with a wave as he sheathed his sword and then sunk down into his shadow. The shadow moved across the floor and out under the door.
He moved past the Skull Crusher and some tall guy on the street. He didn't anything wrong with the situation. Just merely a conversation. He decided to leave them alone. He left them and returned to the super-human settlement. Maybe some jobs have opened up.

Aleya smiled, Waved him off and then stood there alone in the wreckage of her library.. A soft sigh rumbling through her soft lips. What the hell was she supposed to do now? Slowly, she bent down and grabbed one of the shelves and pushed it back against the wall. A soft thud echoed in the now empty room as it hit the wall, A few books that hadn't fallen took the chance to dive for it, and she cursed again to herself. Slowly she pushed the other shelf back up against the wall..
Well it was a start. Now all that covered the floor where the books that damn guy knocked all over the place, She carefully set to work placing each book in the appropriate slot.. Taking her time to dust each one off as she did so..
