When Yuffie had entered the hallway, the first thing she'd noticed was the scent of blood. Then the sound of clashing steel, of swords.
Third? Third was the red-head. Kenshin? She didn't recognize the other person; couldn't even tell whether it was a guy or a girl. And it was only after a bit of squinting that she made out the shape of Sagara, off to the side a little and on his knees.
Well, damn.
Her good mood vanished, her footsteps slowed, but only for a moment. seconds later, she was walking again, briskly, sticking close to the wall. Her footsteps were almost silent against the floor. She didn't want to get caught up in the fighting yet- her priority was to see why the hell Sagara was on his knees at a time like this. He was strong, wasn't he? Maybe... maybe he was taking a break!
Even as she thought it, she knew she was wrong.
And when she got close enough, when she was crouching down next to him, she knew just how wrong she'd been.
"Hey," she said, with false cheer. "When I thought to myself, 'the guys are gonna be dying to see my awesome self', I didn't mean it literally."
