SkywalkerRules Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 After seeing that white light with pair of wings become shards, Asuka stood there, looking at the sky with both amazement and confusion. She never seen anything like that before. What could it have been? "What in the heck was that thing?" The young girl wanted to know as well, nodding her head towards Tategami. She looked at the others too. "Chakra... White Chakra... That thing that attacked Karela, was only an illusion! A Shadow of something powerful ahead..." "Oh man. I don't like this!" Asuka said, shaking her head. She was getting a little worried. If it had something to do with a Bijuu... Asuka gulped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Akagi was beginning to hate his situation. Stuck in a land onto where he knew little, and being pursued by the worst of creatures. He'd have to face the battle with much fury. "I will not run any longer. We must stay and face this creature, whatever it may be." He turned around, drawing his sword, and standing aboslutley still, staring into the gray mist, his face as cold as the blade he had. He would fight this creature. He had to.

Jedi_Man Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Sam pulled out Takai, the light ringing filling the air after it left the sheath. " Akagi, I'm here with you, If nothing more than to give some honor back to your friend." Sam said, trying to remember what exactly happened between them. Boy, Get moving! Even with me, you don't stand a chance! Takai! I may not live, but if I help the group, all the better! Fine, but try not to wound yourself too much, my healing powers only work so well. Sam nodded in affirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Akagi nodded to Sam. "Indeed, you are redeemed. You just admitted your actions. That is enough. But I thank you, anyway." He dropped into a battle stance, waiting for whatever was out there. He hoped the group would leave quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevron 7 locke Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Karela forced herself to look at Akagi and Sam. And she couldn't help but grin despite the pain she was in. "W-What are you two doing? Why are you two facing the fog with your swords drawn? The Illusion is gone." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Akagi snapped his head back in pure surpise. "You're....you're awake...thank goodness...what do you mean it's gone? It was an illusion???" He immediatley felt ashamed, and his head drooped showing it. He'd been a bit late to the fight, and now he'd missed, without even realizing it. That hurt. But he'd be fine. At least Karela was awake, despite being in great pain. He composed himself,"Are you alright?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Man Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Sam tried to answer, but came up with none. If it was actually an illusion, well then... Sam felt like a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevron 7 locke Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 "No...not really. My back hurts, I have an angry Bijuu nagging at me to rest in my head, and I got the living hell kicked out of me by some sort of shadowy thing. I've had better days." Karela winced in pain as she heard a voice echo in her head again. Will you please go to sleep already?! It's hard enough building up enough chakra to heal you up after that last battle! Be quiet!

CommanderQ Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Akagi nodded to Karela. "I will take a look at your wounds once we get to a secure location. But I wouldn't recommend falling asleep yet. You've lost quite a bit of blood, and with that, sleep often melds with death, so stay awake." Akagi helped the group lift Karela a bit higher. They needed to reach that secure location soon.

Chevron 7 locke Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 "Don't bother, she'll fix me up when she builds up enough chakra. That last battle drained us both completly of Chakra, I'm flat out and she's only managed to build up enough to stop my bleeding." Karela had a sudden thought. "Akagi...Haven't the Samuri ever gone up against any of the tailed beasts? I would have thought you would have gone up against one at least."

CommanderQ Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Akagi nodded once again. "Yes, my people have fought against many of these strange beasts, they caused great grief and terror in my lands. I've gone against a few, you could say, but my people and I still understand very little of these creatures. They have always been a great menace in my lands...." Akagi saw Karela's eyes droop for a second. "Stay awake. I understand that you may have some 'magical' ability, but it will help more to keep your eyes open..." He let out a breath and finally sheathed his sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevron 7 locke Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Karela felt the sleep coming on again. I-I need to stay awake. No answer Aw...crap. "it's not magic...it's the tailed beast. With her chakra I'm usually able to shrug off anything. but I'm a bit confused. How did your people manage to fight them? I mean no offense, but It usually takes a sealing jutsu to put them away and the Samuri don't seem like people who like using Jutsus." I-I'm here. What's wrong with you?! I was worried! Something's wrong...I can't stay active anymore, I need to sleep or I'll die and i'm afraid if I die, you'll go out with me. I'm certainly not going to argue with that, sleep. I'l stay awake. Karela turned back to Akagi. "What do you know about the Tailed beasts? We know of only nine of them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Akagi smiled,"No offense taken. I understand where you're coming from. We Samurai have a long tradition of great skill as warriors. Without Jutsu, you'd think us weakl, but we have honor, we have warrior spirit. We managed to stop these creatures through our that spirit, charging, not fearing death. We fought our hardest against the beasts that ravaged our land, and we never gave up. After many years, we eventually created techniques to fighting the creatures, and we managed to defeat them. Though it came at great cost, we did it." Akagi slipped, but maintained balance and kept running. "What do we know about the tailed-beasts? Not much, but we have come to associate them mostly as demons, for their presence has never brought a blessing. I've run into more than nine myself. Others have seen more. At least, so we thought. Some have tried to study these creatures, but many of these attempts ended in failure. Are knowledge of them is limited only to our experience. That is why I am here, to learn more, not only on the Tailed-Beasts, but on all things of the outside world." Akagi saw the campfire ahead. "Do you have much 'chakra' on you? If not, I may be able to set any broken bones, or patch up any other flesh wound..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPhil2501 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 "Do you have much 'chakra' on you? If not, I may be able to set any broken bones, or patch up any other flesh wound..." "You'd be amazed at how much Chakra a Tailed Beast can carry." Kaneda added. "Seemingly limitless: Karela's wounds oughta heal in no time. Though I'm uncertain about broken bones." Tategami dropped his pack onto the ground. "We'll rest here for tonight! We're arent far from the border, but we all need to recover on recent events." Kaneda agreed. Swarms of explosive clay dogs and a hostile illusion of white chakra was enough to get him thinking. "What in the heck is going on here?" Kaneda thought back at the flying winged formation of white chakra, that soared through the forest. The illusion that was shaped like a dragon... ____________________ The sun beamed down on Kaneda's face, as he struggled to pull his eyes open. "Ugh..." He grunted and moved around in his sleeping bag. "Morning already?" he pulled the sleeping bag over his face, and nodded back off to sleep. His stomach dropped, as he felt himself being lifted up. His eyes grew wide open. "Huh?" His entire body fell out of the sleeping bag. He sat up and looked up to see Tategami standing over him, holding his sleeping bag in one arm. "ALRIGHT! I'M UP, YOU OVERGROWN MUSCLED FREAK!!!" he yelled. Tategami smiled. "Good morning, Kaneda-kun. My attempts at waking you up have ended in utter failure, until I resorted to this solution." He grinned with his eyes closed. "During the past hour, my attempts have included: pouring one bucket amount of water on you and clanged together several cooking utilities at a repetetive rhythm. Yet you still remained dreaming." Kaneda grew irratated, and scowled at the large Jonin. "What is it with you and your mighty vocabulary skills?"

SkywalkerRules Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Morning came, as Asuka laid asleep in her sleeping bag. She dreamnt about that white chakra with wings. What was that thing? And who was sending all this illusion to her and her friends? The young girl woke up from her slumber and yarned, stretching her arms out. As she scratched her head, she looked over at Kaneda, was out of his sleeping bag and on the ground. Tategami had a big grin on his face when he made Kaneda fall out of his sleeping bag. "What is it with you and your mighty vocabulary skills?" She smiled. "Well good morning, you two. I assume you had a good night sleep. Tell me, Kaneda... has Tategami become your alarm clock now?" Asuka laughed, as she got up from her sleeping bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Akagi looked at the two people awake. He smiled, glad to see them all well and rested. He had sat down gaurding the camp overnight, and now he was tired as ever. It was good to see that everyone was alright. He let out a breath of relief and looked up at the bright, shining, sun. "You all slept like logs, you hit the bags, and then you were out...heh." He looked at his sword which had laid against his crossed legs all night, he finally sheathed it and stood, streatching as he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Man Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Sam had woken up early, as he always did, to go for a quick jog and then some sparring against unknown targets in an imaginary field. Sam came back in time to see Tategami lift Kaneda up like he was nothing more than a sack of potatoes. " Hahaha, that's a good way to start the morning!" Sam said to himself. The fire was still roaring, so he stepped out from teh foliage and sat down next to Akagi. As he warmed his hands, he asked. " Uhmmmm.... Akagi? What exactly happened between me and your friend, I still seem to be drawing a blank." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevron 7 locke Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Karela woke up in a tree of all places. Why am I here? Someone dropped us off here, I-I don't know who. You don't sound to good, You alright? I m-managed to fix your leg up as best I could, but I need to sleep for a few days, I'm risking my life just by being awake now. You won't be able to call on me for the next few days at least. Alright, Have a nice rest. I intend to. Karela felt the beast inside drop off and begin to sleep as she jumped down from the tree. "Looks like she managed to fix up my leg. At least I can walk again." Karela watched Tategami pick up Kaneda and dump him out of his sleeping bag. Ahhhhh...It's the nice to start the day on a good foot! Karela walked over to Tategami and made sure only he could hear her next words. "Thanks for carrying me last night...I appreciate the thought, not many people would help out a Jinchuuriki in her time of need." Karela turned and walked toward Akagi. "Hey Akagi. Did the samuri ever see anything like that white chakra thing we saw last night?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Akagi nodded to both Sam and Karela. He first spoke to Sam. "Well, you publically dishonored him, in front of nearly the entire training camp, then you slightly desecrated his home, and then, well, it was pretty shameful. But no worries, we will forgive, and try our best to forget, as much as I doubt that." He yawned, he'd need to get a cup of tea going soon. He looked to Karela,"In my lands, we have run into many creatures similar to the one last night, but I cannot say that I, or any of my people, have seen that creature. I'm sorry I could not be of more help." He saw that most of her wounds were healed. "Ahh! It seems a good nights rest has helped you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevron 7 locke Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Karela nodded and smiled. "I wouldn't say it was a good nights rest. I was in alot of pain last night. When my sealed beast healed me, she had to focus alot of chakra into my wounds and that hurts. I passed out a few times last night. But I should be good to go." Karela looked left and right and then asked Akagi a question in a hushed whisper. "Akagi...have the Samuri ever managed to seal a tailed beast into someone's body? I'd really like to know." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Akagi raised an eyebrow at the question, but understood. In a return whisper he said, "No, my people would never try such a thing. But sometimes, the Tailed-Creatures would force themselves into one of my people, becoming one. The ones infected were always sad, they always heard voices in their head and could not control themselves, no matter how hard they tried. Sometimes, we would kill the infected, out of mercy. Luckily, not many have been entered by the Tailed-ones. Why do you ask? Akagi scooted closer to Karela. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevron 7 locke Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Sometimes, the Tailed-Creatures would force themselves into one of my people, becoming one. That doesn't sound like something a tailed beast would do. They value their freedom. "In these lands...We only have Nine known tailed beasts. The tailed beasts are usually sealed into people at a young age, normally when the hosts are infants. Sometimes, this is done as a sacrifice, one person has to deal with the tailed beast inside them, but the world is kept safe from them. Other times...the sealed beasts are used as weapons against other villages. The leader of our village, Naruto, has the nine-tailed demon fox sealed inside him. His father sealed it inside him to save the village." Karela took a deep breath and lifted up the bottom of her shirt so Akagi could see the seal mark on her lower stomach. "Here...the hosts to the tailed beasts are called Jinchuuriki, and they are often discriminated against, sometimes they are hunted down and killed. I'm one of them. I'm the host of the Seven-tailed panther." Karela lowered her shirt and stared Akagi directly in the eyes. "I wanted you to find out from me that not all of the tailed beasts are evil. Most of them are, but mine is different. She knows that as long as she stays sealed inside me, she's safe from most attacks. And in return, she heals me when I'm injured." "I just want you to know, that the Jinchuuriki are not evil, they are heroes who made sure that the tailed beasts wouldn't hurt anyone. I want you to know this before someone tries to tell you otherwise." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Akagi nodded,"I did not mean to offend you, I am sorry if I did. I understand the love that your people have for these creatures, but my people have had different experiences. I understand though, that not all are bad, we just happened to get the ones that were..." Akagi's mind drifted back to memories of some of those unpleasant encounters, but he quickly changed that by thinking on the positive side of things. At least Karela was healed, that was positive. He chuckled to himself,"I have much to learn of this land." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevron 7 locke Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 "Oh no, you got it wrong! We don't love them! Most of them cause chaos and death wherever they go. They're sealed inside people as way to stop their occasional rampages. I'm just saying that a few of them are different, that's all." Karela turned to look at Asuka and sighed. "I heard rumors that she had a bad experience with one of the sealed beasts once, I hope I can talk to her about it as well." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Akagi began shaking his head, partly out of shame of once again getting it wrong. He quickly shook it off. "I'm sorry, as I said, I have much too learn...hopefully none of the creatures that terrorized my people came here...." He looked to Asuka and nodded,"I'm sure you two will talk. We all have our stories..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
