Any of the other countries knew how great a spy England was. Disguising himself was part of the fun. He liked pretending to be someone else. Not only did it usually assist with his spying, but it also pandered to his love of performing. He had no problem dressing up in any costume, whether it be for a man or a woman (unless it was too skimpy). After all, back in his younger days, all roles on stage were played by males. Why should he care? Acting was acting, wasn't it? He still thought it was a tragedy that none of his good wigs had taken the journey to Shibusen with him. He'd managed to find one at the last minute, but it was not a high-quality piece.

His hands were tucked into the pockets of his pretty olive coat that tied at the waist, and he was amused with the thought that he even had to wear a coat. Death City, after all, was hot and dry. It was refreshing to be in another country's home, especially if it had a different climate. His face was painted, not in an obnoxious way, but just enough to highlight his lips and eyes, and he inwardly congratulated himself for a job well done. England walked with confidence, knowing that he looked pretty damn convincing. And he didn't have to even try,

Ah, the sounds and smells of the beach also calmed his nerves. There was probably no scent England liked more than the scent of the ocean. He'd grown up surrounded by water, and had spent years on the sea when he was a pirate, and also while training his formidable navy. It relaxed him, and he was able to prepare his soul for the mission at hand. "You know," England said in response. His voice was raised a few notches. Again, not enough to sound fake, but to mask his real voice and sound more feminine. "Had I known you planned on taking me to the beach, I would have changed my shoes." He gently bumped Sohki's arm with his own, affectionate. Oh, yeah. He was good.

[holy_prankster]

England's tone drew Sohki's attention over to the country. The change in tone amused him. To see England so enthusiastic over something was a sight to see, and the country's soul seemed to shine in response.

He chuckled lightly at the mention of shoes, and as his arm was bumped, the kirin playfully reached out to snap England's hand up. "If I had told you were we were going, that would have ruined the surprise," Sohki lightly teased. "You could always take them off."

[notexcalibur]

It was very difficult walking in high-heels on the sand. England grinned and stopped walking. "That's a good idea." And he leaned over to take the boots off. Hopefully this would play into their plan. As soon as the pair halted, the hair on England's neck stood on end.

[holy_prankster]

Sohki came to a stop when it seemed that England would follow his advice. There was a smile on his face as he glanced around while waiting. It didn't take long, and soon enough he saw the shimmer of a red soul swimming just below the surface of the water.

"It appears as though we have company," Sohki murmured with an amused chuckle. While the Kishin Egg might have still been beneath the water, it couldn't hide its soul from the kirin.

[notexcalibur]

"That's what I thought," England mumbled in his normal voice, still leaning forward and messing with the boots. Another kishin egg's soul would be his. He would not let it get away, nor would he let Sohki down.

Just as the creature was about to surface, England reached up to grab Sohki's hand and transformed. It got easier every time, especially when he had already partnered with the person who was wielding him. Thanks to Operation Arizona, England had become familiar with the way Sohki fought, and he could adjust his soul to match with the kirin's.

[holy_prankster]

He felt the familiar presence of his companion as England began to transform. The weight was comfortable as he grasped the handle of the blade. Their souls settled easier this time than the last, and he watched with his ever-present smile on his face as the Kishin Egg emerged.

"Are there any special limbs I need to be aware of, Arthur-kun~?" Sohki asked as the Kishin Egg sniffed in their direction. Adjusting his position, the kirin's smile remained on his face even as the beast rushed in to attack.

[notexcalibur]

"Nothing special," England replied. "It's a bit taller than you, with arms and legs." Nothing too out of the ordinary. It didn't even look that fast. But it had been elusive, snatching teenagers in the area. And that was why England and Sohki had dressed up, to lure the beast to them. And their plan had worked perfectly.

[holy_prankster]

There was that at least. Adjusting his grip on Arthur, Sohki waited for the Kishin Egg to make its way onto the beach. He could see the change in the creature's soul, and knew that it would be upon them in mere moments.

His cheerful smile seemed to be out of place as he dodged the incoming swipe. Sohki returned the gesture, and brought England up to slash across the creature's side. The first attack was blocked, unsurprisingly. The Kishin Egg was faster than it had let on, but it would have to do better.

Jumping back from the second swipe, Sohki chuckled lightly as he sensed the jab of claws in their direction. His movements were natural as he gracefully brought the sword around, and in one swift swipe, the kirin made contact with the sword to the creature's arm - cutting deeply into the flesh.

[notexcalibur]

England was glad to have such competent partners, even if he did jump around from one to another. He had a lot of respect for Sohki, and that respect only grew more when the country watched him fight. Sohki was blind, yet he moved with grace and power. That should not have surprised England, at all, since that was the nature of the kirin.

He laughed when he sliced through the kishin egg's arm, a laugh of victory. The monster howled in response and began to move even faster. It swung sharp claws at Sohki, one blow after another without letting up for a second. England channeled more energy from his soul to make himself stronger.

[holy_prankster]

Sohki began to focus his attention on the extra power England was supplying him. As claws swung up to strike at him, the kirin managed to pivot off to the side before bringing the sword around to impale through the creature's chest.

While the sword was no horn, it was still quite an effective weapon as the Kishin Egg howled out in pain and rage. There were a number of swipes and snarls, but it did little more than cause a slight tear in his disguise. It wasn't anything that he was all too concerned about, and he chuckled lightly when the Kishin Egg's body finally went limp and disappeared to leave a bright red soul.

Straightening his posture, Sohki held England out so that the Weapon could transform back. "Now that was rather entertaining."
