Ami/Miroku: Personality Clash!

[RyderHakubi]

Nodding her head, Ryder opened the door and stepped outside...

As then stopped and started to stretch a little... Or, if you must know, she did a perfect split.

Wow... this is flexible...

[Kwokinator]

Kwok smirked as he began shadow-boxing and adding kicks into the barrage of punches.

"You know, doing splits in THAT can give people quite an eyeful."

[RyderHakubi]

"Well... how would you know Kwok?  After all, to know that, you'd have to be looking.  And if you're looking, then I have to ask... Why are you looking at a guy like that?"

Ryder asked as she fell on her back and kicked up to her feet...

[Kwokinator]

"Nah," Kwok replied, grinning. "I just said that to get a reaction out of you.  I probably can't even see a thing since you're wearing hakama pants."

"Besides, I don't see any guys around here right now besides me," he smirked.

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder sighed, "Kwok, will you please stop joking about this... I'm trying really hard to at least accept the fact that I'm not myself, and I'd rather not have it rubbed in my face."

Then, taking a few steps to the west, with the help of the Mercury CPU, she added, "Let's hit it!"

[Kwokinator]

"Aww..." Kwok followed behind, grinning widely. "But it's so fun, Ami-chan!"

[RyderHakubi]

"So, you want to have fun Kwok... fine..." Ryder said as she turned around with a grin...

She then slapped Kwok... not hard, but more like a wake-up slap... "TAG!" she shouted as she started to run west towards the path.

[Kwokinator]

Kwok blinked and paused, as if unsure about what just happened.

"Alright," he began to smile slowly as he started to run after Ami. "Tag it is..."

[RyderHakubi]

Laughing as she ran, Ryder shouted out, "You'll have to do better than that Kwoky!  Or is that big body of yours slowing you down!"

[Kwokinator]

She has a nice laugh...

Kwok almost slapped himself outright.  

"She" is a guy, dammit!  Stop thinking like that!

Shaking his head, he tossed the entire train of thought out of his mind and broke into a sprint to try and catch up to Ryder.

[RyderHakubi]

Continuing to run, Ryder dropped her happy face for a second and sighed...

Just let go she says... How am I supposed to do that.  I'm a guy... not this girl she's telling me to be.  Is it really worth doing this to defeat Shishio?

While in thought, Ryder returns to her happy look...

[Carthrat]

The duo, after tiring of chasing each other like small children, eventually started properly travelling to the west.

However, they quickly developed several problems.

They were hungry and thirsty.

Being hungry and thirsty made them tired.

The sun was beating down on them; it was late spring in Japan, and there were many beautiful sakura blossoms and great trees to be seen as they walked.

This didn't change the hunger issue.

Eventually, however, they managed to reach a small, walled town, which, unlike the previous town, was intact.

Two slack-looking guards stood outside the front, holding staves. They were waiting for Ami and Miroku to approach..

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder had dropped the "Tag" game a while ago, in the interest of conserving energy...

However, at the sight of the village, her face brightened, in almost a Lina Inverse way.  "FOOD!" She shouted as she started to run... but weakly collapsed after a few meters.

"Guess it only works on Lina..." she muttered...

[Kwokinator]

"You're so clumsy, Ryder," Kwok said as he held out an arm and offered to help her up. "Are you sure Usagi's clumsiness isn't rubbing off on you?"

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder took Kwok's hand and slowly got to her feet...

"More like the Lina syndrome... I'm hungry, y'know?" she said with some embarassment in her face.
