Encounter by the Waterfalls

Ibari crouched low in the shrubs. His own shrubs, actually; he'd made a cover for himself that blended nicely with the environment around him. Luckily, his mission had led him into the forests surrounding the waterfalls of Takigakure, and forests were his speciality.
The rogue he'd been sent out to eliminate didn't appear to be too smart or adept at his job. He was easy to track as he moved, and Ibari had secured his location to nearby this spot fairly quickly. However, when not on the move, the guy was more difficult to pin down. So right now, Gatling Seed arm poised and ready, he was waiting for the sign that gave away the position. He was certain that the rogue was unaware of being tracked, but the forest was wide, and he had yet to come across his target, hence his current position and tactics. He had, however, been here for around half an hour, roots splayed throughout the ground to pick up any trace vibrations that could match the rogues physique, and despite his duty to the mission he was so very bored.

Yume had had enough of her sisters overprotective gaze always watching over her, sure she loved her twin and everything but sometimes she just needed some alone time. It was a forest after all, what harm could a forest bring, The brunette didn't think any harm could come unless you got lost or fell from a tree and she didn't plan on climbing anything.

She smiled and started humming to herself as she wandered, she wasn't worried, Kitsune had to go into town to do some shopping and Yume was alone, or so she thought at least. It was just chance that heard something in the trees above her, looking up she furrowed her eyebrows upon seeing nothing "H-hello?" the teenage girl asked rubbing the back of her neck.

She screamed as she felt something clamp around her wrist but as soon as she made a sound she felt the cold metal tip of a blade agaisnt her throat "Scream and you bleed, understand?" the cold, harsh voice of a male could be heard whispering, his warm breath on her ear. Yume shivered and fell to silence, what was going on "W-who are you?" she whispered back hoping he didn't harm her for speaking, all the supposed man said in reply was chuckle darkly

(Hope thats okay ^^)

The reaction was immediate. A cut of scream, the tremor of a large male hitting the floor. Snapping his ties to the forest floor and retracting his floral cover, Ibari pursued the source of his detection. Besides animals, which were noticeably different in terms of tracking, and the occasional civilian out for a stroll, the forest was generally quiet. There were few other possibilities for the source besides his target.
Travelling the 500 or so yards to his destination, Ibari thought over the description. Tall, heavy-set male, know for his over-muscled biceps and general cruelty to anyone he felt deserved it. Crew-cut blond hair and matching stubble. The target stood roughly at 6'2", a large difference from Ibari's own 5'7", but this didn't worry him too much, since he was also well aware of the overall amateur behaviour of this guy. He was not an experienced criminal; the ease with which he'd tracked him was enough to say that. What the target worked with mostly was brawn and intimidation. That and his sizeable machete, strapped to his belt.
Given that the target had no known name, Ibari had looked over the profile beforehand to choose a distinguishing feature to make an alias from. There was always something he could utilize. In the end he'd settled on a simple one, Lefty. This had arisen from the simple fact that Lefty had no left thumb, due to a nasty accident involving his loyal machete, too many pints and a steak that had been a little too tough. Ibari figured that at least it would trigger some nice reactions in his opponent when he announced his chosen pet name.

Coming to a nearby path and following it along, not a very clear one at that so obviously less than frequently travelled, he could make out the figures of a large bulk of meat that was obvious Lefty, and what appeared to be a young girl...

She winced feeling the blade press into the soft flesh of her throat "please let me go" she whispered but abruptly shut up as the blade cut into her neck slightly, making a trickle of blood flow down the blade and her neck "Shut it Bitch, you don't tell me what to do" his harsh voice filled her ears and the smell of rotting fish filled her nose, this guy seriously needed a mint. "wonder what I should do with you" he chuckled as his free hand started to trail up her stomach and came to rest on her breasts "whatever I want I guess" Yume's eyes bugged as he suddenly tore her shirt from her, leaving her in onlt a baby blue bra "Don't even think about it" she hissed through her teeth then yelped as he spun her around and shoved her up agaisnt a tree, pinning her arms above her in one of his huge ones "I SAID SHUT IT!" Wincing on impact as her back harshly hit the tree she ignored the urge to cry out, what was he planning to do with her, she had an idea and looked up at him with wide terrified eyes.

Finally reaching Lefty and his victim, Ibari hissed in anger. This was gross. He was really going to do this to a young girl? Perched high on a branch, he shot a vine down and round his opponent's neck, jerking him backwards harshly and forcing him to release the girl. As Lefty stumbled back, choking and clutching his throat, Ibari pounced, landing with both feet on the lump of meat's chest and pushing hard, hearing ribs crack. Lefty staggered and fell, crying out.
"Now now, Lefty, that's not how we treat girls is it?" he addressed his enemy in his usual sarky way, but now loathing laced each word. He whipped another vine out and tied the rogue's hands together with it, drawing a kunai from his leg pouch and walking slowly towards him. Straddling his chest, Ibari pushed his face closed to his, grimacing with hate.
"Perhaps we should prevent it from happening again?" he whispered, and saw Lefty's face drop, fear in his eyes. And as Ibari brought the blade down, arterial spray spurting through the crotch of Lefty's slacks, a high scream pierced the forest, until Ibari slid another vine round his neck and snapped it with ease.

Standing, Ibari sighed and pulled the corpse into the bushes, hiding it from the girls view. Of course, she'd already seen enough of it, but leaving the lifeless body before her was just cruel. He turned to her and smiled reassuringly. "Problem solved kid, he can't hurt you now."
Noticing her lack of top (and quickly glancing away) he removed his jacket from over his black vest, which remarkably escaped the spray (the same couldn't be said for his trousers), and threw it to her. "Cover up, and I'll take you back. You're from Taki, correct?" He coaxed the girl to talk, to assure she was alright mentally.
