Kuro laughed at Kin's antics. While he couldn't approve of his course of action, he could certainly appreciate how by Kin's own moral code, he was doing exactly what was best.

"Kin, I'm not usually the one to be picky about the rules, but I think you could seriously use a crash course in the meaning of kentou. (Not that I'm entirely sure how it works myself.)"

Kuro felt a slight breeze blow over him, and it instantly alerted something inside him. His eyes darted around the room a moment before landing on a figure in red who had already passed by the two guards and was entering the fourth year area. From behind his mask, Kuro saw him send a wink his way, and then he was gone. Kuro chuckled.

I guess fighting isn't the only strength people develop in this school. Maybe I could learn a lesson from that. It's time to put Nasaki Kobushi's true power to the test.

He stood across from the female guard and she immediately dropped into a stance. Kuro didn't even bother examining her style as he normally would, though a few things registered anyway. He raised one hand in the air and waved.

"Hello."

The guard stumbled in her stance before righting herself and standing up again.

"Oh, um, hello. Sorry. I thought you were here to pass to the fourth year area."

"I am."

"Right..."

"There's no reason we can't be civil. So, you have to guard this door all day?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, not every day. I have classes here like any student. A few of us alternate duty."

"You must be incredibley strong to guard such a coveted door. I bet this job is a great way to get even stronger."

The tension in her body eased visably as she became more comfortable engaging in this conversation. They continued talking about everything that came to mind. Though, it was Kuro in the conversation. It typically came back around to fighting. They laughed together, exchanged handshakes and high-fives, and in the course of several minutes became friends. The girl's face was now steady in a smile as they spoke, and so was Kuro's. He felt he had found a good friend in her somehow, though he knew exactly what he was doing.

"Listen, I have to go on one way or the other, but I'd really rather not fight you of all people. I hate to ask it of you if it's going to make trouble, but could you please let me pass?"

"Oh, it won't make any trouble for me Kuro. I mean, for some reason, the thought of letting you continue on doesn't bug me very much, and I don't have to answer to anyone else about it. Just don't tell anyone. I don't want a lot of people asking me for the same favor."

"Wow, that's a load off. I'll keep it between you and me."

The two hugged and Kuro passed through the door while the other guard was still busy fighting Kin. Aki and Oni started to follow him through before the girl put her hand up signaling them to stop.

"Where exactly do you two think you're going?"
