Ol' Fighter

"...this is what you sensed Calil?" Yuin said to her while taking a drag. She nodded in response while at the same time torching a sneaking demon in the shadows. "...I will deal with these lesser demons." he continued while summoning a cloud of needles. As a small horde of demons surrounded them preparing to attack Yuin extended the cloud above the mass and waited for a single movement. "Don't you think you should like, oh, I don't know... KILL them!" she yelled. "...not yet..." he whispered. "What the hell are you waiting for-". "Throw one of your blades into the cloud..." Yuin replied cutting her off. She glared at him for a second but swiftly launched a blazing blade at the cloud. As it passed threw, the cloud erupted in flames showering the demons in a downpour of searing hot needles leaving nothing but chard earth and an sea of crimson needles. "That was what I was waiting for. We should conserve our energy while we can." Yuin said taking a small puff from his cigarette. "I guess I can agree with you there..." Calil replied retrieving her blade. OoC: It's a wee bit short so forgive me there.

I feel like a jerk for not checking out the backstage earlier... ._.; Inu, my heart goes out to ya' and the best thing I can say is never forget your mom, besides you'll see each other again in another time. Count on it.

Yuin sat there for a few minutes as the onslaught of questions continued. He was still far too tired from his earlier battle. "Who the hell are you..." Draco snarled and again this was met with Yuin's silence. "Answer me. Who the hell are you!" Draco yelled. "....I am here for that woman." Yuin replied. Draco's expression was already sour so this just agitated him more. "What do you mean?" Draco barked again. "....I am here for her. The woman Calil... I will help her." Yuin remarked as he stood up. "You still haven't answered my question! Talk or I WILL make you!" Draco roared assuming a fighting stance. "You are strong, but not strong enough..." Yuin whispered as he fastened his overcoat. "Is that a challe-" ...nor am I. I seek someone who I know she will help me find... Until then I shall fight to ensure her safety and her's alone. You and whomever else do not concern me..." Yuin said slowly walking away. "Way to make friends master."A'drass said with a chuckle. "...As I said. The others do not concern me... My only concern is that woman as should yours A'drass...".

Hell yeah. This rp will live on! There are so many things that are left to be said and did! Oh, and I totally feel like this is kinda OB family. :3

I'm totally still in as well, but yeah I've been a li'l busy myself. Classes, work, family... Boy does the list go on.

Yuin's first thought was to kill whomever this woman was as she approached. He was far too weak to allow anything to get so close to him, but stopped as he felt a familiar presence inside of her. "You only...move when it benefits you..." Yuin said aloud. As he did so the mess of vines slowly phased from the woman's body. "Oh...master...I bring her..." it said now in a somewhat human like form. "A'drass...you act for yourself. What...is she?" he replied with a wince. "The answer...master...she has power...I will give her..." A'drass said with some humor. Yuin was still to weak to move but he managed to sit up and stare at the woman. "Again...you only act when it benefits you. What is she?" Yuin demanded. A'drass floated towards the sleeping woman and cast a light veil around her. "Master...you see now...she find your kin...this 'sister'." A'drass whispered. Yuin's eyes widened as he saw this. "Master...you pledge service to her now. We act later..." he continued. "Pledge to her...? For...trust A'drass?" Yuin labored to say. "Yes master...but we no need. She is not enemy." it said floating towards him. "Not our enemy...not an ally? I do not care." Yuin mumbled. "Then I act. I take lead. You obey for time master." A'drass said in patronizing tone. "...do as you wish. It would not benefit me to kill her or-". "Master has honor. She saved the master...yes? We side with her. This woman...Calil is its name. We help her...she help us later.". "We are agreed then. I shall accompany her for now..." Yuin snickered a bit. "Yes master for now. Betray her not....is not good for us...and master?" A'drass said with a growl. "What is it?". "I do not...like talking...like idiot human. I borrow the master's voice." it said wrapping a vine around Yuin's body and extracting and assuming an identical form. "Now master. We just have to win over this dear woman here. Later we will ask of her help...as much as it pains me the great A'drass to do so.". As the sun finally began to wane Calil rose to her feet still a bit tired. "Finally you rise." Yuin said harshly. Calil was shocked to see him on his feet after seeing the injuries on him. "So your all fixed up now?" she said with a bit of sarcasm. "There is much to explain human and little time. I talk later." Yuin replied. "I think now is as good of time as any." Calil said while lighting a cigarette. Yuin stared at her blankly for a moment then slowly walked towards her until he was but a step away from her, threatening her personal space. "What the hell are you doing you-". "Do you have another?" Yuin said pointing at her cigarette. Calil casually handed him one all the while staring at him. "Your quite the weirdo aren't you?" she said taking a drag. "There is much for me to do and little time. I help you now and that is all." he mumbled while forming a ball of energy in his hands. Calil again stared at him and just shook her head. "This is simple human Calil. I am Yuin. I serve you now. That is all". "The hell you mean 'that is all'? Serve me for what?" she scowled a bit. Yuin ignored her and just began to walk. Calil was becoming increasingly agitated so with a sigh she followed. "Weirdo is too light a word for him". she thought to herself.

It would suck to lose those two since the real fun is about to start. *Smlies at KG* Plus Excel leavin' would leave me in a future hole.

Yuin was near death as he lay on the the valley floor as still as a stone. His breathing so soft it would appear as if he were dead. While in this state one thing was still burning in his mind and that being this 'sister' and its meaning. Yuin's body then began to move, well, his skin at least. It was as if insects were crawling from beneath his skin. This was followed by tiny holes forming all over his body and from them white vines covered in blood. Slowly the vines slithered from the holes like snakes from burrows until it seemed that the last of the crimson-white entaglement was out. The mass then began to glow an eerie white and pulsate becoming an cloud of sorts. This was the rather unique ability that Yuin's body unleashes when death is most imminent from injuries. These vines are composed of 70% magical energy and 30% blood. They are in fact a living parasitic spell that is infused with Yuin's soul. Its purpose is to keep Yuin's physical body alive which is a bit abnormal for your average parasite, but this one in specific is of course no average bug. It instead of taking away something from its host it gives and what it gives is its magical power. It pumps it directly to Yuin's blood stream giving him quite an edge in battle due to excessive amounts of this energy. It needs a host to basically dump its own overwhelming amount of energy upon or it will die from it. This would overall seem to be a fare trade, but the host is usually destined to live a short life due to the amount of energy that is circulated constantly through the body as well as the soul. This price would come to Yuin in due time... The cloud of vines was nothing more than a parasite looking for a new host and thanks to its unbelievable amount of raw magical energy it would be quite the match for just about anyone it came across and unfortunately it had already zeroed in on its next host... Calil. Calil at the time was stuck in her thoughts still trying to piece everything together, but for some reason she felt increasingly tense. It was as if something was watching her she felt. Disregarding the sense she again clutched the bloodroot examining it carefully. As it pulsed the images appeared again this time a bit more distinct. She could almost feel as if everything was coming into her grasp in her mind, but was cut off as something white began to form before her. It was the parasite and it has its sights set on her. It manifested itself a few feet away from Calil. Its blood drenched vines swaying back in forth with hostility. "What the hell...?" was all Calil was able to mutter out as the vines vanished right before her very eyes and began wrapping themselves around her body. Quickly she heated her body attemping to stop the vines advance, but found herself unable to move a muscle as a single vine appearing in front of her with an eye staring directly at her. At that moment her mind was ravaged by the parasite. It was quickly corrupting her mind and worse it was begining to control it. Dawner could feel that something was not right in the air and what bothered him even more was that he specifically felt it from Calil's direction. Not trying to alarm the others he quietly slipped away towards Calil. As he approached her amongst the rubble he saw that she was sitting down. "Calil...are you okay?" he said walking up from behind her. "I'm fine." she replied rather harshly. Dawner sighed in relief at her tone and sat beside her. "Does...this mean you remember?" he said softly. Calil said nothing to this as she stood up and walked off towards the desert. "I guess she needs to be alone..." he thought to himself. Calil in fact was not alone. The creature that attacked her had infused itself inside her. It mimicked her without flaw and was now using her for its own purpose. Inside Calil's mind a battle was taking place that she was slowly losing. "What the hell is this thing!?" Calil yelled. It was attacking Calil not only physically but mentally and because of Calil's memory loss and foreign body she was a most susceptible target. It was further disturbing the links she had with her mind and body. Calil was in a bit of a panic and found herself unable to fully focus. All she really could do was defend herself as the creature continued its relentless assault with its deadly bloodied white vines. She was close to her breaking point as she began to run through the darkening empty room. Her own thoughts or what was left of them screaming for her to fight, but she just couldn't. As the vines reached for Calil she nearly gave in as they wrapped around her, but her defeated thoughts left her when she heard a familiar chuckle from the vines. It was her sister's. The creature it seems was now the spitting image of her. Calil could not beleive her eyes and again she wondered if this was that thing's trickery. "This...a form your not scared of." her sister said to her. This continued to be a nuisance to her already tired mind. "What...are you?" Calil struggled to say as her lips quivered a bit. "No...you afraid...still...be not... I need your body...and mind...." her supposed sister whispered. She then floated towards Calil staring deeply into her eyes and slowly the hold on her mind was released. Calil was still a bit rattled, but was coming to her senses. "My power...my magic...will be yours...you will help? A young human...must find...think later...or death will come...tell not...the other creatures...keep silent...demons want me...make haste...." it said now back in its vine-like cloud form awaiting an answer.

A brave soul shows iteslf! Mehehehehehe.... Alright, I promise it'll stir your mind and test your will. >:}

Alrighty o'. Yuin ain't dead yet he still has some life in him so no rescue or anything is needed. Is all just a ragin' storm that's coming in. I however need a brave volunteer to accept a special request of mine to start this. So, who wants to be a hero? >:}

Yuin continued towards the valley desperately trying to surpress the energy now bursting out of him. He could think of nothing but this 'sister' of his that Siera spoke of. The feelings that he felt for those words were foreign to him and he could not understand them so he fiercely fought against the surge trying to retain himself. "...why do I feel like this...? he said to himself as he landed on the desert floor. He had successfully surpressed the majority of the malevolent wave allowing him to move about somewhat freely, but still his every movement was labored and with great pain. "...my....'sister'... what is that...? ...why do I feel this sensation...?" he continued to himself. Summoning up what felt like the last of his strength he strained harshly to once again focus his eyes and channel what magic he had left to support himself as well as search for this 'sister' of his. "...Yuin, you are stronger then I thought huh, but I don't think it will really matter in the end...." Siera's voice echoed inside the valley. "...you will tell me where she is." Yuin demanded, but his order was met with the tattered claws of a rather huge pitch-black hand's grasp. It viciously began to crush his body threatening to destroy him. Yuin retaliated by bursting with the power he surpressed earlier tearing the the grotesque shadow-like claw a bit leaving him to fall to the ground as still as a rock. It seems the beast's surprise strike had broken all but a few bones in his body making movement useless. "Look at you Yuin...your broken...and near powerless. What are you to do now?" Siera's voice echoed again, while at the same time the creature appeared before Yuin. It was as black as darkness itself and towered over 20 feet. Yuin tried to move, but couldn't. He was completly immobile so all he could count upon was what magical energy he had left. The creature wasted no time as it once again lashed out at Yuin with its giant claws. Yuin quickly formed a sheet of needles before him protecting him from the full force of the attack, but still launching him to the stone walls with a crash. Yuin strained again this time creating a sea of needles from thin air around himself and swifly he surronded himself with the tiny needles making a makeshift barrier that would at least allow him some protection. Again the beast struck this time lashing out with both its deadly claws gripping the needle enclosed Yuin and to his surprise the creature seemed to not be affected by the hundreds of tiny neeedles driving their way into its skin. It squeezed harder making Yuin strain even more to keep up the barrier. "You'll die soon Yuin..." Siera's voice echoed lowly once again, but this statement was over turned as the beast groaned in pain as its hands burst into a shower of black blood upon Yuin. "Why you clever boy..." she said appearing in front of him just as the beast's decapitated head crashed to the ground behind them followed by a clone of Yuin. "You had enough for a clone I see" she said waving her hand at it making it vanish. "...where...is she...?" Yuin said crashing to the ground as his barrier of needles dropped to the valley floor. "Up ahead, but you only have a few more breathes of life Yuin. I don't think you'll make it...." she replied with a slight chuckle. Yuin pushed his limit once again to attempt an attack towards Siera, but was quickly stopped as a blade ran through his back. "Hmm...poor Yuin. I always thought you were nothing special and this proves it." Siera said vanishing into the valley. Yuin layed there pondering this 'sister' and what it meant. He felt nothing else but an attachment to the word. "...sister...sister...sister...sis...ter...." he said to himself as he began to lose consciousness. OoC: Glad this is back in action!

I'm totally still in, but I must admit me am becoming impatient.

Sorry to hear that Zach... That just blows, but I say you should have at it again and patch up the wound and try again. Of course give yourselves some time, but keep going for it and don't let this get the two of you down. We shall be papa bros one day!

How old was ol' me? I was 14 and quite arrogant. My daily life? Revolved around my friends, books, games, and my to-be girlfriend whom I'm with now. A warning or encouragement? No warning because being as big-headed as I was everything that I learned over the years was necessary and made me into the man/father I am now, but I would encourage my younger self to talk to my parents more. I would try to beat it into my head that just because your adopted doesn't mean you have to 'act' adopted you l'il butt-head. 'Bout my life then or now? Kind of both I'd guess. Would I take me seriously? Maybe...I was pretty head-strong then, but when it came to advice I would always listen and take it to heart. So past me would probably listen, but if a test was needed I would bring up the first time I was ever kissed and the ridiculously stupid thing I said after.

Congrats man!!! You put a bun in the oven, Wooo! Now, I would say don't be so nervous but if your like I was that would just irritate you, instead I say relax just a wee bit (Yeah, diffrent wording, but meh...). Calm yourself and try to think in a state of what I call "single minded rationality". Don't think about things like what if this happens or that happens. Is your worst enemy and will leave you a feeling of stepping on glass. Just try to relax and take the process one step at a time. 'Bout the baby having total reliance on you...well, it would if ya have milk producing breast, lol. Baby's gonna depend on mama more than you. I swear Amaya just sees me as a big toy or something. So, don't go too crazy over that. You=40% Your lady=60%. So Zach, try to relax because your lady's gonna need you more than ever in the coming months because one of yous are gonna have to keep their head leveled.

REALLY!!!! SWEET!! Now we both be papas, Lol. ....and...um, when's this thing gonna start movin' again?

Went just about 120 hours without sleep several months back because I learned I was gonna be a father. It was such a fun time thanks to my whacked sences. I slurred when speaking, stumbled when walking, was super paranoid, and ate like a starving chipmunk or something. On top of all that I was totally trippin' balls and would hallucinate like every few seconds especially when someone tried to talk to me. It looked as if they were floating towards me which just added to my paranoia.

Alright, what the heck is going on? I'm getting antsy! Is killing me how slow everthing is...

Yuin was still making his slow recovery walk through the desert. Even now he was still not completely at 100%. He stopped as he felt an sensation overcome his entire body. "...this energy...but..." he was stopped as an woman wearing an cloak as white as his with long light blue hair appeared behind him. "It's been a while Yuin. How have you been ?" the woman said still back to back with him. "...master...how...I th-" he was cut off as she phased directly in front of him. Staring deeply into his eyes. "Yuin...I've always told you an true illusionist can't be killed, right? I am rather touched that you would go through all this trouble for me." the woman replied with a smile. "I see you've grown stronger..." the woman continued as she stroked his face. "Siera...why did you leave me?" Yuin said emptily. He was staring at her with an expressionless face, but his eyes said it all. He was filled with anger. "...." "Answer me!" "Your were too weak to join me..." "...too weak? Master, my abilities surpassed your own! I-" he was stopped as Siera's gaze grew harsh. Yuin's body became numb and he found himself floating in the air. It was as if he was being choked by an invisible force. "You were too weak then and far too young. Even as you are now you are still too weak." she said with a bit of a chuckle. "Hmm...besides, you have far more important things to worry about...like Illiana." Siera said with a sick smile. The name struck through him like a bolt of lightning. It was his little sister's name whom he hadn't seen since his village was destroyed so many years ago. "...I-Illiana..." Yuin struggled to say. Siera then walked towards him while still keeping her gaze square onto Yuin's eyes. "Quite a unique coat you have. You always did prefer the weirdest clothing." she said raising a single finger to his coat. As she brought it down, the fabric ripped. She continued to do this for a moment all the while staring at him with a half-smile. "Your sister was such a beautiful little girl. Her abilities were nothing though." she said stepping away from him. As she did the hold on him was released. Yuin stayed there on the desert floor for a second. He could feel his energy swirling inside of him. It was like a thousand needles bursting out of his skin all at once. It was already trying to overcome him in his earlier fight, but now he could suppress it no longer. "Aww, Yu. Am I giving your body a scare? I must of frightened it with that." Siera laughed. Yuin then felt an wave of energy hit his right side followed by an intense pain. Siera it seems had slashed him. "Not to mention that broken right arm of yours..." she mumbled with a glint in her eyes. Yuin then found himself with an broken arm, but still the energy continued to build. This is what Yuin's body does when his life is threatened. Involuntarily it will begin to build up mass amounts of energy until his entire body itself becomes that energy. Although he overall becomes quite powerful the longer he stays in the form the better his chances of death after returning to normal. This will be the second time his body has done this. The first time he broke nearly every bone in his body and suffered massive mental trauma. "Illiana's just ahead...in the valley. So you have a choice Yu... You can attempt to fight me here or you can attempt to save your probably already dead little sister. Really it's your choice." she said smiling. Yuin decided to give in to his body's power. He had no choice either way. Slowly his entire body began to loose out an white energy that looked similar to vines from all over. His overcoat was shredded as the final vine wrapped itself around Yuin's face. The tiny needles flew off in every direction as it did. Yuin now took the form of a plant-like being. His face was the only thing visible while the rest of his body was covered by the white vines. "That's it Yuin...she's up ahead, but you as well as her will probably be dead by the time you get there." Siera whispered as she watched him fly off towards the Valley of the Kings.

[quote name='Knuckles' Girl'][COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]You guys think Dritz is gonna pee him self reading these when he gets back? Oh I do, I really do. lol. [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] He totally is... And Yuin is a bit like Itachi I guess now that I've googled the hell outta him. 'Cept Yuin is different by motives I guess. I'm gonna really party with you guys next time. Heh.

While walking home at about 3:00 in the morning my friend and I were on our way home from a late night of watching movies over at my gf's house when I noticed somthing move out of the corner of my eye. I was rather sleppy at the time and he was texting so we really weren't paying attention to the movement. We payed for that...we got sniped by a smelly sniper...the damn skunk. It was hidden behind a trash can. We thought we were all good, but as we walked the smell followed and as we hit the door home...man did it get us. Everything we had on was dead...even my boxers some how. It was a horrible smell that could wake the dead. Anyway, we found ourselves having to cleanse ourselves with 1 and a half bottles of hydrogen peroxide, don't know how much baking soda, and a lot of liquid soap. I now HATE skunks...

*Speak in Dr. Claws' voice from Inspector Gadget* NEXT TIME GADGET! NEEEXXTT TIMMMME!!!!

The man in fact was Yuin or rather an clone of him, but they would find this out later. "...Anya Romanov..." he said slowly getting up from his seat. As he did Anya stared him down almost immediately. This was a mistake.... "Anya his eyes! Don't look at them!" yelled Karyn, but it was a second too late. "...shit..." Anya said as she struggled to look away from him. Calil acted swiftly, tossing a mass of flames directly at Yuin, but to her surprise the flames were deflected away by an clone of Anya. "What the..." Calil said stunned a bit as she eyed the mirror of image of Anya. It looked exactly like her from head to toe. "This game is just heating up..." the clone said splitting into yet another clone of Anya. Calil could see that the real Anya was still being held by Yuin's gaze so she again prepared an attack, but was cut off by one of the now numerous clones of Anya. "So many off them...and they all look, sound, and even smell like Anya..." Karyn growled as she prepared to fend off the clones. "Don't bother the happy couple for a bit..." one Anya clone said in a sarcastic tone as it was joind by seven others. While Calil and Karyn fought the clones Anya and Yuin's eyes were still locked on one another. "W-what the hell...do you want...you freak?!" Anya managed to say. Her reply was an attack to her mind which caused her head to spin a bit. "...do you remeber...a fight you had ten years ago..." Yuin said with a touch of anger to his voice. As Anya searched her mind she found it to be invaded by images of an female at first, but then appeared as an werewolf. "...do you remember now...this woman who you killed?" Yuin said directly to her mind. "...nope...doesn't ring a bell...just another unfortunate bitch..." Anya replied with a slight chuckle. This intensely angered the true Yuin distanced away so much that he lost his focus causing all the clones to phase a bit. In that instant the hold on Anya broke and she instinctively lept forward delivering an devastating punch to Yuin's face knocking him into the nearby wall. "Dick...there's more where that came from." she said punching her fist into her other hand, but to her surprise Yuin's image started to fade away. "What the hell is that guy...a damn ninja?!" Anya said bringing her hands to her side. Calil and Karyn came running up from behind her minutes later. "Are you okay Anya?" Calil said a bit worried. "Of course I am! Damn weirdo didn't do shit." she replied with a smug smile. In truth however, all she could see was images of that woman Yuin showed her. Miles away Yuin was recuperating his strength. Mixing together illusionary and ocular magic was no simple feat. "...she doesn't remember...my master...Siera..." Yuin said turning towards the desert.

[quote name='chibi-master']Karyn: SCAREDY WHAT?! At least we're not Itachi impersonaters![/QUOTE] Whoa... he does kinda remind me of Itachi...I totally didn't notice that, lol. Hmm...chibi...you have given me an idol just now. >:}

*Speaks in Yuin's signature monotone* I'll find you...no matter how long it takes...scaredy cat...
