This day just went from bad to worse, didn't it? From the moment that she had woken up with a mouthful of sand and seawater she should have known that today would not be a good day. Of all the things that could have happened it had to be priates though, didn't it? She could have coped with anything else, rain, snow, a pack of ravenous dogs...but pirates? Fate must just really hate her.
If she had been any closer to Sy he would have recieved a smack around the back of his head for giving up his posessions so willingly. He really must not have been the brightest of people if he expected that some loose change and a shuriken would appease them. Then again, she didn't quite know what the pirates were expecting, it was pretty obvious that neither her nor Nudge would have anything of value with them.
"Nudge, shut up." She snapped as the girl began to talk to the pirates, cursing inwardly as she mentioned her injury. It was bad enough that she was going to have to fight, or attempt to, when she couldn't move properly, but the little healer didn't have to point out the weakness to the enemy. If how the rest of the day was setting a trend then they were probably going to lose this fight. But still, Nicu refused to be taken quietly.
She allowed the first man to come to her, not wasting her energy on moving to meet him. She would need to try and remain static, otherwise her leg would give up on her and she would end up falling over, which was never a good idea in a fight. She glared as he raised his sword to her, her grip on her own weapon tightening. "Touch either of us an' ya'll regret it." Her voice was level, rage contained. "So mebbies ya'll should just run along before ya make me really angry."

"Ah, my apologies, Miss Pirate." Kamui said, sounding quite earnest, as the Halfling seemed disappointed with his offering. He did not seem perturbed when the pirate raised his weapon to him. Sakurako, however, began to growl and bared her teeth. "Hmm... I'm not much for fightin', but perhaps it'd be best ta' neutralize the situation before anyone gets hurt, yeah?" He blitzed the large pirate, delivering a sharp strike to the side of his neck with the edge of his hand. Moving like a bolt of lightning, Kamui was between the two other pirates, delivering similar strikes.
(Kamui struck at the carotid artery, a major artery in the neck that delivers oxygenated blood to the brain. It's also a pressure point. With enough force, the artery will be compressed, and a mere few seconds of the artery being pinched will starve the brain temporarily of oxygen, rendering the victim unconscious.
Kinda like this. Hehe. The pimp got owned.)

Nudge's head was spinning with the speed at which their new found companion moved; one second he was there, the next he was gone. Well. That was one way to sort out a few pirates, she guessed, and she vaguely remembered to feel grateful that he was on their side and not with the pirates as their opponents simply... dropped to the ground. Like sacks of potatoes. She even had to resist a giggle as she prodded one with her damp boot, tilting her head.
"Well... That's one way to resolve the situation, I suppose." she figured, only smiling brightly up at Nicu, as if to say that everything would be alright now because they had a man here who could knock out pirates with the edge of his hand. Nudge wasn't one to worry about the implications of being with such a man, that they might be next on the list for being knocked unconscious. Besides, Sy seemed pretty cheerful, all in all.
"...How'd you do that?" she enquired after a while, when the only sound was that of the rushing ocean around them, and the whisper of the breeze through the palm trees. "...It was pretty cool."

Nicu only caught Kamui's attack out of the corner of her eye, and he moved so quickly that she couldn't be sure just what he had done, but she was impressed. He had knocked that guy seemingly without effort, why wasn't it that easy for her? The pirates who had been advancing towards Nicu and Nudge had also noticed this attack, and without so much of a glance between each other they turned to run back into the forest that they had appeared out of. That was surprisingly easy.
Nicu breathed a soft sigh of relief as they left, slipping her sword back into it's sheath before half collapsing to the floor, keeping her injured leg straight out in front of her. Standing hurt too much now, and if she hadn't sat down she was sure that she would have fallen.
"I suppose that's one way to deal with pirates." She grumbled in a begruding aknowledgement of Kamui's skill. Nicu wasn't one for giving compliments.
(Heh, oops. I'm dramatic. I fixed it. ^^)

"Yeah, I suppose, but now I feel kinda bad... I was really hopin' they'd take what I had an' left." He shrugged. "Ah, well." Turning to Nudge, making a chopping motion with his hand, "Well, I just went up ta' them an' did this."

The little healer tilted her head at Kamui, lifting her hand and mimicking the chopping motion. "Just like... this...?" she asked, lifting a brow and turning quite suddenly to Nicu. Still copying Kamui, she tried to acheive the same effect he had managed with those pesky pirates, karate-chopping the side of her head.
...Contrary to what she had expected to happen, the result was rather... disappointing. Nicu didn't fall down, or collapse into unconsciousness or anything like that. Her head didn't explode and nothing remotely fatal happened to it. It just made a sound like 'bonk'.
"Awh." she pouted, repeating the chopping motion in the air. "You got a defective head, Nicu." she sighed. "Oh, well." she poked one of the unconscious pirates with her toe, before glancing back up at Kamui. "Were you heading for this island? Or did your boat just... end up here?" she asked.

Needless to say, Nicu wasn't exactly pleased as Nudge karate chopped her head. In fact, a murderous glimmer had crept into her eyes, and from the way she was clenching her fists it was clear that it was taking ever ounce of self control that she had not to strangle the little healer. As if she wasn't already in enough pain without her hitting her around the head.
"Defective 'ead? Nudge, I suggest ya move...now...befor' I show ya who's got a defective 'ead." The threat was rather clear, and, from the glare that Nudge was receiving, it was safe to assume that Nicu would be more than willing to carry out her threat. Today was a bad day, Nudge should have picked some other day to try her patience.
"An' if ya' think that a bit 'o trash would please pirates then ya' even more stupid than ya' look." Yes, Nicu really was in a terrible mood, and it seemed that everyone was on the receiving end of it.

"No, no." He said, shaking his head at Nudge. "Not the head. Ya need ta' hit her harder if ya' wanna knock her out that way. What I did was hit right about here." He pointed to a spot on his neck. "But be careful. If too hard an' it could be fatal." Kamui was suddenly by Nicu's side, kneeling down and holding his hands up to her injured leg, from which a warm bluish-white light began to emanate. "They're masterwork shuriken, you know. Could fetch about six gold coins each."

"Oh? By here, yeah?" she mimicked him again, though she didn't smack Nicu this time, just touching her hand to the side of her neck. "Ah, it could kill someone!?" she flung her hand away in a panic as though it was something dangerous, watching it cautiously and throwing Nicu a slow, innocent grin. "I'm sorry, Nicu. I didn't mean to, really... can you forgive me...?" she laughed weakly, taking a step back to avoid her wrath.
She looked curious as Sy leant down next to her friend, tilting her head at the glowing light. "Whoa, what's that...?" she asked, intrigued and leaning down beside him.

"No." She huffed to Nudge as she asked it she could forgive her, having looked close to pulling over her sword again as the little healer had touched her hand to the side of her neck/ In fact, she wasn't quite sure what had stopped her. She must have been going soft. Bah, damn Nudge. She swore that kid was more trouble than she was worth.
She eyed Sy suspiciously as he held his hands out over her leg. "What's that?" She reapeated Nudge's question, though her tone was far more brusque. She could feel the skin on her leg tightening, a strange tingling spreading from the spot where the wound was...had been. He was healing her, he must have been, that was kind of how it felt when Nudge healed her anyway.

"It's Ki, a spiritual energy I can manipulate. I'm channelin' some of my life-force ta' help speed up your body's natural recovery time." He explained. "I hope ya' don't mind. It just looked like your leg was botherin' you."

"That is so amazing." Nudge grinned to him, looking rather excitable as she watched Kamui work. A new type of healing? That was something pretty special. She hadn't expected to find this, of all things, on an island where they had been stranded and left for dead. "Could you teach me how to do it...? I mean, is it possible to learn how?" she asked softly, straightening up to smile brightly at Nicu. "Feel better?" she asked.

"Suppose I can let ya' off." She mumbled as he asked if she minded him healing her, as though it was a huge effort to let him do that. What kind of a person asked if someone wanted healing? Of course she wanted healing. "Feel less like I'm gonna bleed our and die." She huffed, watching carefully now as he healed her leg. "If ya learnin' ya not experimentin' on me."

"Ah, I'm glad." He said, grinning, to Nicu after she said she'd let him off. "Ki, or Chi, is present in all living things. Theoretically anyone could learn, but some have more potential then others." He said to Nudge as he stood up. "Hmm. I suppose I could teach ya'... but it takes years of practice and strict discipline ta' master."

((I am present in all living things. I am omniscient. XD))
Nudge stood up after him, smiling brightly at Nicu when she realised that her leg was all healed up. "There, see? Meeting people on the beach isn't so hard when they help you." she poked out her tongue playfully, as if to say that she had won a point in some little game of theirs, just because Kamui hadn't killed them, as Nicu would have expected him to.
She grew rather adorably serious at the news that learning such a thing required complete concentration and dedication, nodding to him. "I will try my hardest." she assured him, before looking around the beach. "But shouldn't we try to find out where we are first...?" she asked.
