Kage stood near the entrance of Cyber Twin Central, scratching his head. It felt weird, having just gotten a haircut, but that wasn't necessarily the problem. The problem was, that he couldn't figure out why the devil he was even near the mall. The giant didn't have the money, nor the mindset... nor the time, really. He was supposed to be running some errands for a few of the people in the Residential Area for his next meal's funds... and now the wanderer was at friggin' Cyber Twin...

Aiden wasn't exactly sure what he was doing at the mall. He didn't actually need anything and crowds bugged him, not to mention how many idiots one was capable of finding if they took the moment to look. Giggling girls gushing over a piece of jewelry, guys standing in little huddles in attempts to look cool enough for the gushing girls to notice them, a few people simply wandering around aimlessly searching for something to do.
Aiden glanced around a bit more, noticing a man a little younger than himself that looked eerily familiar. He began walking towards the Tora, recalling exactly when he had seen him... His mind flitted over to an image of Tekka (seemingly unconscious) held in this guy's arms. They had kissed as well.
The giant Ookami quickened his pace.

Kage's sharp hearing vaguely picked up the sound of approaching footsteps. Normally, this wouldn't have mattered. It was a mall, after all. However, these were rapid, heavy footfalls - ones headed directly for him. Not being a man of confrontatiion, Kage turned just slightly, keeping the corner of his eye trained on the unfamiliar approaching form.
This can't be good... he thought with a gulp.

Unbeknownst to Kage, Aiden was one for confrontation.
The large Ookami was soon within arms reach of his quarry, and he clasped the Tora on the shoulder before speaking. "Hello friend..." He growled, making it easy to see that he REALLY didn't like the Tora. Though if said clansman knew WHY he was about to get the stuffing beaten out of him or not, Aiden really couldn't care less. He turned the Tora to glare into brown eyes, a snarl set upon his face.
He did the origin of the Ookami name proud with that face.

Kage's eyes widened considerably at the other guy's unwelcoming salutation. Clearly, this Ookami wasn't here to talk weather. The giant, in discordance to what would be appropriate for the situation, lofted a brow at the stranger.
"Er... hey there," he replied, shrugging a little. "Don't believe we've met before... have we?" The wanderer often cursed himself for being so nonchalant in places of trouble, and now was one of those times. He was afraid, but his damn mouth wouldn't let him act like it!

Aiden let out another growl. "You kissed my sister." With that he let fly a punch toward the other giant's face with the distinct aim to try and break his nose. The more blood the better after all. No one would touch his little sister like that, not while she was a minor anyway.

Holy SHIT! bellowed Kage mentally as he ducked and twisted, wrenching free of the Ookami's hold and subsequent attack.
"Whoa, talk about a close one!" yelled the giant, becoming rather indignant with his assailant. "I've heard of face lifts, but that method's a little unorthodox..." So, Tekka had a brother, and a mean one at that. The question was, try to avoid him, or take him on and show him what Kage was made of...?

Aiden swung again. "Wisecracks aren't going to help you." He snarled, aiming for the Tora's sizable stomach. His brain filled in a few little factoids about his opponent from his days in the government. This man was named Kyle if he wasn't mistaken, an alias of 'Kage' had been marked in his file as well. He had avoided conscription as well if he remembered right. The Ookami aimed a sweeping kick at Kyle's legs, hoping to knock him off his feet.

Kage backed up and stepped to the side to avoid the punch, but the kick was a bit too wide-range to go without effect. The giant did manage, however, to stand his ground, despite the screaming coming from his shins.
"Hey!" Kage shouted, getting gradually closer to 'Genuinely Mad'. "What's your deal?! Wisecracking may not help, but at least I'm trying to talk rather than bust your face in!" Clearly, distance was key. This brute was a brawler, but Kage just might have a secret weapon, just in case. He began backing up more, being careful to make sure that he didn't lose balance.

Aiden had tuned out Kyle's voice by this point listening to the beat of war-drum heart pumping blood through his veins instead. He lunged, trying to land a punch to the Tora's neck or clavicle, something he could break. After that was thrown another was aimed for the stomach again.
A small crowd was forming around the fight, though Aiden paid no heed except to grin inwardly at the fact that Kyle would soon have less space to maneuver in and thus become a MUCH easier target.

Kage took note of the crowd forming, but the main focal point was the fact that this guy was turning into a war machine, and fast. The backward movement was enough for now to at least keep the Ookami's punches to glancing blows, but if an escape or defense was not found quickly, the pacifist could be in some trouble.
If only he didn't use his damn arms... thought the giant bitterly. I can work around shoulder-charges, but not so well with punches... His right hand found its way to his jacket pocket, taking hold of that special Braille coin. Kage's practically telekinetic skill with the metal piece had gotten him out of plenty of tight spots, and it might just have to serve him in a different way this time. For now, the response was still flight, so the wanderer kept his movements backward and began moving around the circle of people. If all else failed, he could always turn tail and smash a few spectators to get the noof outta there.

Aiden was both throwing another volley of punches and scheming. If it came down to grappling, he'd be at a disadvantage due to apparent body weight. So that left charging out, he'd have to keep the Tora off his game. Though, if he turned tail and fled that would leave a window of opportunity, turning and barreling though people would cost him time and the ability to see what Aiden was doing.
The Ookami grinned as he realized that Kyle was cornered.

There were some things in this world that were solid. Some other things were nothing more than gas, and still others were just ambiguous. Most of Kage's life had seemed like gas, or somewhere halfway to solid; he saw the world around him as if on the viewing side of a television, but there were at least two things in his life that were most definitely solid. The first was that he loved Tekka, with all of his heart.
The second was that he did not like the grin on his attacker's mug. The giant backed up just a bit further as his opponent's cinder-block fists continued their dull reach to impact upon their target's flesh. He took advantage of the badly flawed elliptical shape of their human-comprised prison to edge along an elongated side, thus maintaining a pretty good distance from his assailant. It was up to fate now...

Aiden continued his assault, not really taking too much notice of the shape of the crowd. If Kyle ran he'd run faster, and an unprotected back was easier to hit than a guarded front. Not to say it would have too much effect over a short amount of time, the Tora was a marshmallow...

The hulking Ookami was advancing quickly, and now was Kage's chance. He turned swiftly, his hand appearing to twitch at his hip. It was a Gunslinger's art, to be able to fire from the hip, and the giant would be proud of his talent if he weren't a pacifist. The coin turned and spun, shooting like a rocket from the Tora's hand, straight at his opponent. The trajectory was right, so all Kage needed was for that war machine not to be expecting a giant coin to come crashing toward his eye...
