This song and dance was one she'd been forced to learn the steps of at a very young age. When the whole world wanted you dead, it took every ounce of skill you had and then some to survive. Thus, when the Historian came to Japan searching for remnants of her people's work that had been scattered about the globe, it was to be expected that the authorities would catch wind of her arrival and start a nation wide man hunt.

To escape them would be easy, she'd done so many times before, and as she slipped through alleyways and backstreets as they gave chase, she figured she wouldn't even have to use her ability to get away when they couldn't even come close enough to touch her.

What a pain. . .
But it would all be worth it once she found what she was looking for.
