Alice gave them both an odd look, not quite sure of what to do in this sort of situation. "Um, I take it this would be your partner?" She finally decided to ask, looking up at Dark. The likeness between the two men's looks somewhat entertained her. She'd only met one other pair of look-alikes in her life and they surprisingly reminded her a bit of the two standing before her. Well, only the tackleing part...

"Yeah, this is Light. Light, meet...uh, I'm afraid I didn't catch your name miss...?" Dark paused, waiting for a name.

Alice lipes formed into a polite grin, which looked out of place a little on her face. Considering that she had markings around her eyes like that of an evil joker or something. Her face appeared dark, giving off some sort of strange feel, but she didn't act like evil sort. "Its Alice, its a pleasure, Light." She nodded her head at his direction, but her eyes shifted over to Dark. "However, I'm afraid I don't know your name either."

"What? I forgot that too?" Dark frowned . "My name is Dark Miss Alice. A pleasure to meet you." he smiled slightly.
Light rolled his eyes. He knew Dark was as straight as a roundabout and so was just being polite to Alice, but the question was, did she know that?

"Humm, odd, I didn't think Dark was that common of a name." Alice said after a moment, tilting her head to the side in thought. "Dark won't be too pleased to hear this." She added in a half-mumble to herself, the two men could have heard the second part if they were paying enough attention.
It was the that one of the young woman's ears twitched and she turned to the side, starring down what looked like an empty sidewalk. There was a faint squeaking sound that was growing a little more noticeable. Within seconds later suddenly she threw her arms up, pulling them close to her. In her arms was what appeared to be a plush toy of a Miamouse, only it made soft little squeaky whimpers. The Ixi looked down at the little thing in her arms. "Tippity, what are you doing here?" When she questioned the little creature, it frantically started waving its front paws about and its squeaks turned almost frantic. Alice's expression, in a return response became a bit worried, trying to make complete sense of what was going on but only failing at it.

Light and Dark had been bickering but stopped when they noticed the look on Alice's face. Something told them and something was up, and around them if something was up it usually ended in disaster for more than one person, namely the two of them and whoever else happened to be along for the ride...
"Miss Alice? Is everything alright?" Dark asked, glancing about him.

Alice's eyes shifted from the mouse-like creature, to Dark, and back again. Tippity hadn't calmed down. "I don't think so. Tippity, what's going on?" The plush creature seemed to take in a deep breath and started going about by a series of squeaks and gestures. Finally Alice just nodded to cut him off, "Show me." At that the little creature sprang from her arms and darted down the sidewalk. Before following after him, she turned to face the two males. "I'm sorry, but it seems like something isn't quite right. My pet shouldn't be here, so I have to figure out what's going on." And without any other words, she turned and darted off after the mouse.

Dark frowned and glanced at Light. The duplicate nodded and the two of them set off after Alice, each ready to pull out their guns if trouble seemed likely.

Alice had mostly caught up with her pet, the Miamouse only running a few yards ahead of her. Tippity slid into a turn around a corner on the sidewalk, soon followed by the woman. When they turned something came into view a few buildings up a set of dark figures. There seemed to be a few men laying unconscious on the ground half way out of an ally way. As they grew closer, Alice came to a stop when another man started backing up from the ally and onto the edge of the empty street. He was followed by another man, who would have to be the person the man was backing away from. From the darkness and slight distance, it was pretty much impossible to see who the people were. But the second man was holding something in each of his hands in an attack stance, they looked like fans from where they stood. The first man tried to back away, but the second lashed out at him with whatever he was holding and he fell to the ground.
Tippity ran forward again, to the side of the man still standing and started squeaking frantically and Alice followed. When she was close enough, she realized something "Renoshi?" The man turned around to face Alice, his orange/red hair fell into his face and made it nearly impossible to see who he was. But his eyes were narrow and his face was shadowed with a darker presence. Alice gasped. "Kage!" The man didn't reply, just slumped to the floor in a sitting heap, with his head drooping down and Alice knelt beside him.

Light and Dark followed her at a much slower pace, guns drawn and ready to be used. Having rounded the corner and seen all the men lying on the ground they knew straight away something was up.
The guns went up and pointed at the only man still standing, safety catches off, ready to be fired if he was dangerous...which he clearly was...considering the apparent body count...

Alice's hand slowly went to reach out to the man who'd previously stood up. But she stopped and her ears perked up. She turned her head quickly just so she could see that the two had followed her here. With an immediate assessment, she knew what they must have thought. "Please, lower you're guns." Her words came out rushed, demanding and filled with that protective tone you could compare to that of a mother bear protecting her cubs- clearly not a thing one would want to mess with. She shifted to place herself between the sitting man and the duplicate men. But she turned to face the one she clearly knew with a worried expression.

Light hurriedly lowered his gun and put it away safely, whereas Dark took a few more moments to make sure Alice was going to be safe before even lowering the weapon. He didn't put it away however, not as trusting as his other, lighter half.

"Thank you." Alice allowed, once she noted that the two had lowered their weapons. "He's my friend, you see." And, without any further explanation, she turned her attention back to her comrade. "Renoshi-Kage, what happened?" She asked. The man sighed, and the playing cards he'd held in his hands fell and drifted onto the floor, scattering around them. He looked up to meet Alice's eyes with his mismatched own. "I...came to find you. Of course." His voice was laced with the darker questionable tone but at the same time was weak and relieved. "But what happened?" The woman asked again. "What...does...it look like?" he asked. "I has forced into...Kage." And, during the conversation, the Miamouse situated itself to sit between whoever Renoshi-Kage was and Alice. "You were forced to fight." She stated in as a matter of fact, no hint of questioning. That's what it meant when he went as far to be 'Kage', as they came to call his fighting state. The male nodded. "Yes...the weapons they pulled on me...they're all in the ally way..." Once she finished with his explanation, his head drooped down again this time into his hands.
Alice turned to the police, feeling they needed a better explanation then what flowed between the two. You could tell she was worried for her friend still. "This man would be one of my closest friends. Its, well, not so common that he appears without telling me. I didn't expect a visit from him. However, to say it in another way, he's my...body guard. He couldn't have been the one to start it. The only time he gets into the state he's in is when someone, namely myself, himself or the other few of our companions, are in danger and he's needed to protect them."

Light nodded. Body guarding...he and Dark often got jobs like that lobbed at their heads in the office down town...It hurt a bit actually, he still had the bruise from last time.
Dark understood now that the man with Alice was now to threat to her, and possibly not to them so the gun went away into it's holster.

Alice sighed in relief when the two seemed to understand. Though, she wondered how much her story really made sense. "Thank you for understanding. I must tend to him, now. It might be a good idea to check how the other's he knocked out are fairing. I can't do too much at once." She said slowly, her eyes shifting back and forth. "If you'd like, I suppose I could also tell you why I'm in need of a body guard. If you really want."
Though, the man finally stood up and Alice volunteered her shoulder to support most of his his weight. She didn't say anything about him using her for support. When he went in such a state, it had a tendency to drain him until he went back to normal.
