"That isn't going to be as easy as you think." Xing said, smirking. "Bason, be ready."

Sakura looked to Xing."what about a weapon?",she asked looking worried.

Xing smiled at her. "Bason and I don't need a weapon."

Skura smiled softly."i see ... then taht means you wont go and get youre self hurt right?"

"I'll try my best." He turned his attention to Bason. "Let's go. Bason--Intigrate!"

Sakura smiled."Kohine,spirit fusion!",she said determinedly as Kohine and her became ,one. When she opened her eyes , one eye was her color , the other was a deep blue like Kohine's. Her Katana glowed."alright ,lets get this over with"

"Agreed," Xing said, his voice and Bason's speaking at the same time. With that, he lunged forward, ready for attack.

The man laughed and quickly jumped out of the way ."too slow"

Sakura watched the man for a moment, studying his moves then smirked,in a flash she was right behind the man and kicked him in the back sending him flying forward/.

Xing/Bason caught the man, landing a roundhouse to his neck. "What was that about being too slow?"

The man choked slightly and couched catching his breath.Then started to laugh.

Sakura blinked."whats so funny?",she said glaring, then blinked hearing a bang, and twitch holding her side,looking behinded her she growled seeing the spirit gun floating in mid air ,glowing."he let us get him",she muttered lowly.

Xing/Bason nodded, glowering. "Indeed he has." He said. Glancing to his left, he spied a broom handle. It's not the best, but it will do. He thought, summoning the weapon to him.

The man laughed."hmm you are impressive shaman to bad you're on the wrong sidde

Sakura growled."says you?!"

"If there is anybody on the wrong side, it is you." Xing/Bason replied, and struck.

The man jumped back and laughed" ah we shall see",we said calling his spirit gilun to him and vanished.

Sakura sighed."we might get home in one peace"

Xing/Bason nodded. "It appears so..." he said.

'It looks like we're good to de-integrated now.' Xing said.

Bason gave a mental nod of agreement, then de-integrated from Xing. Xing let out a breath as he had his body to himself again. "That was...interesting. What was he all about?"

Sakura sighed as she too seperated. "no idea",she said and flinched looking to her side."huh,... good thing hejust grazed me....'

"Let's take a look at that when we get back, which won't take long. Until then..." He took off his jacket and held it out to Sakura. "Here; use this to stem the bloodflow."

Sakura blushed slightly but smiled taking the jacket. "you don't have to"

"Yes, yes I do. Because I'm a gentleman and you're a pretty girl who's hurt." Xing said, grinning.

Sakuras face went deep red."oh,okay"

Now it was Xing's turn to blush. "Uh....what did I say? Did I embarrass you?"

Sakura looked to him."y-you said i was pritty",she said shyly."n-no ones ever called mne that before...."

Xing's jaw dropped. "What? How? You're...well, you've got nice...hair." He said, stuttering a bit and letting his eyes slide to...well, a certain spot between her waist and her neck.

Sakura blinked but smiled and kissed his cheek quicky."thank you "

Xing blushed. "Y-you're welcome." he stuttered. "Er...hey, look! We're here!"
