she had only gotten a little ways in her run when she plowed head first into the ground laying there thinking she was better off. " Im going to kick your ass", she muttered under her breath staying there for a minute or so before she stood and began walking by herself to the village. once she had gotten there she seen Ryu talking to some girl. She shook her head thinking he was hitting on her or something like he did every other girl. " Not even ganna bother", she said walking over to a building and plopping down on the ground , resting her back aginst the wall.

Haru, from her viewpoint, could see something just kind of.. appear.. on one of the buildings. It was a person dressed very darkly, and settled into the nook of a roof's overhanging, and a window, the person was young, and was using their feet to press against the rim of the window, and his back against the roof's overhanging to keep him suspended. The young one then took a crossbow from his side, and loaded a bolt quickly, aiming at Ryu. It didn't seem like this would ever stop...
The village was oblivious to what was about to happen. But maybe Haru had time to warn them, and more importantly, Ryu.

Haru blinked at what she was seeing narrowing her eyes a little to get a better view. She jumped up when she finally realized what the boy was trying to do. " Ryu move out of the way! Theres someone on the roof", she yelled as loud as she could, moving towards him now. they really seemed to be desperate to get Ryu back, or kill him one.

Ryu turned, looking at Haru, then to where she was looking. He watched as the bolt was fired at him, Ryu unsheathed infront of him, cutting the bolt in mid-air, the shrapnel imbedding in the ground. Ryu dashed towards the assassin, and the assassin notched another bolt, but this time fired it at Haru, before he threw the crossbow away. The assassin was dressed in.. demon slayer armor? As Ryu got close, he watched as the assassin's gauntlets made a metallic clink, and two claws appeared from each gauntlet.
The assassin rushed Ryu and seemed to be trying his best to impale Ryu. Of course, Ryu dodged the initial attacks, before his sword was knocked from his hand. Ryu snarled and punched the assassin in the gut. However, the assassin was quick to exhale, and didn't get the wind knocked from him. The assassin tried to slash Ryu's face quicklty, but the demon merely moved to the side, before headbutting the assassin, and throwing him hard into a stone well near the center of the village. The well crumbled under the impact of the ninja, but the fight was finally over. The assassin lay against the crumbling well, unconcious, but clearly alive. Ryu muttered to one of the slayers. " Bind him up, take his things, lock him somewhere safe. " Ryu gave a sigh, rubbing his eyes. " Thank you, Haru.. "

Haru seen he was aiming for her now and was quick to move out of the way not dazed enough to just stand there and get killed. She was a bit confused when she seen what the boy was wearing it wasn’t like the other men that had come for Ryu. “ is he working for them to?”, she asked herself as she watched the two fight, Ryu winning. Neh? He was winning without even trying it looked like to her, he wasn’t even using the same amount of his energy as he did with the others. Her eyes followed the boy through the air till he hit the well. She shook her head, it was like they never learned, why send more if they were just ganna keep either getting killed or hurt. Haru looked over at Ryu when he thanked her, but she didn’t say anything back to him instead she walked behind him “ sit boy!”, she growled kicking at the back’s of his knees and bouncing a few feet away snickering. “ they aren’t going to hurt him are they?”

" No. They're not like Visha-.. " Ryu stopped. He didn't want to remind her of what she had to go through. He stood up, having been knocked to one knee by Haru. He spoke to the female demon slayer another moment, before he walked off after the slayers carrying the assassin. The female demon slayer walked towards Haru, saying to her. " Hey, I'm Yoko.. Ryu said you needed to learn a couple things before you two set off on some traveling. When do you want to start..?"

Her gaze fell to the ground when she heard his name as if he could come back and get her again. She turned away from him looking for a good rock to throw at him when she heard Yoko's voice. She turned and looked at her dropping the rock behind her back that she had found. She nodded and answered her. " I Dont really care just whenever I guess", she said watching Ryu walk off with some of the others. This meant she was wrong about Him hitting on her, neh wouldn't be the first time he surprised her like that, actually yeah it would be.

Yoko took an exasperated look at her decisiveness. The Demon slayer gave a growl, before saying. " Then we start now. " The demon slayer dumped a bow, quiver, and arrows on Haru, before saying. " And we're not stopping until you can fire that bow with the accuracy to snipe a fly from a mile away! " The demon slayer then said to her, while walking off. " Come along, Haru. "
Ryu snickered under his breath.

Haru ducked down when the things came down on her. Now? When she said whenever she meant whenever she wasn’t tired neh she could get through this. She blinked when she said they weren’t going to stop till she could pin a fly from a mile away and a irked look came across her face. “ guess we are never stopping”, she muttered quietly under her breath so she couldn’t hear. Ryu had to have something to do with this she knew he did. She followed after her when she told her to come, she sighed and began to plot out ways to get Ryu back for this.

Yoko tugged Haru along towards a ranging field, where some targets were set up. One hay target, a humanoid wooden target dummy, and a round wooden target, with a spot painted in the middle as the bull's eye. Yoko waited for Haru to get her things together, before saying. " The first thing you must learn is form! Before you fire, you must form. " Yoko grabbed the bow from Haru and took an arrow from the quiver, before taking an archer's stance. Yoko stretched the arrow back, keeping perfectly still now. " Come and watch the positioning of my feet, balance of my weight, and how I hold the bow taut, in a place where I can fire with good aim. " Yoko gave Haru a few moments to watch, before speaking again. " ..And fire. " The demon slayer released the arrow, firing it directly into the bull's eye, perfectly in the middle. " Your turn. " Yoko passes the bow to Haru. " Shoot the bull's eye. "

Haru watched Yoko's stance trying to remember it for when she had to try. She looked over at the target where the arrow had went through and knew she wasn't going to be able to do this. " uh ok?", she said taking the bow from Yoko and got into the same stance that she had been standing in moments before. she notched a arrow and held the bow up aiming it at the target, but her arm was a little shaky so when she released it, the arrow flew up above the target, missing it be a little ways.

" You have to keep your arm steady! Where's your muscle at? Aren't you kin to demons? " Yoko berated her, before saying useful. " Try not to keep your arm locked up for too long, since you're just beginning. Try to be quick, but accurate. Now try again! " Yoko was going to have her do this until she at least hit near the bull's eye.

" nah i'm human I just got dog ears glued to my head", she said sarcastically. she notched another arrow and concentrated a little more before letting loose, the arrow landing in the ground in front of the round target. she sighed, starting to get annoyed at the fact that she wasn't hitting it.

The demon slayer growled and fwapped Haru across the back of her head. " Don't get an attitude. Now, try again. " Yoko snapped at her, before she critically adjusted her form in how to stand, and more importantly, how to hold the bow. It was always a problem having good form, but being comfortable in firing the bow.

Haru smirked when she was hit on the back of the head and laughed under her breath. " fine fine ", she said with a sigh. Once The slayer was done fixing her stance she concentrated again letting go of the arrow and sending it flying through the air, this time it hit the target though not a bulls eye neh close enough.
