OOC: Sorry about that I just took off from where Box Hoy left off and got a little to far in to the story line. sorry, Now how do I explain this ... lets just say she was planning on going after Sirus any way for revenge on the roxoski clan. Basicly she was guessing if you want I could edit my post? I was baby sitting my sisters when I posted that so I was kinda destracted.

[Shwa]

OOC: As long as everyone is ready and not confused anymore then everyhting is back to normal and on track again :D. So yeah i guess this counts as my pos for the story...so someone take it away :D !

[Gecko]

OOC: But Mage15 said they were searching the streets... How can they find her in the streets when I put her deep in the woods?

[Box Hoy]

OCC- STOP OCCing and get back to the story before this rpg is shut down!!!!!!!!! Sorry I just don't wnat it to be shut down. We'll solve this later and I'm sorry I missed that post and didn't read it thoroughly.
IC-
Sirus got off the forebeast and started to make a fire. He looked up at the night sky. Veil woke up. She got off the forebeats and came up along Sirus to the now made fire.
"So what's the Roxoski clan like" Veil asked Sirus trying to make conversation. Sirus did not responde until he came to the conclusion. "Why does it matter to you when it will all be nothing when you're dead," Sirus said. Veil obviously took this as a sign that Sirus did not wan't to make conversation.
Veil walked back up to the forebeast. [i]Why isn't he trying to keep me from escaping[/i] Veil pondered.
Sirus turned around and put her on the forebeast, all while she was wondering what he was doing. "Are you happy," Sirus asked? Veil raised her eyebrow and then remembered what Sirus's power was.
"Yes. But may I ask a question of you," Veil said? Sirus nodded and continued to strap her onto the forebeast. "If you have the mindreading powers than why didn't you use them against Sinahiro" Veil asked.
Sirus turned to her. "In the Roxoski clan it is disgraceful to use such powers in engagment" he said. Veil looked on the ground. "What else is disgraceful in the clan" Veil asked?
Sirus turned to her and looker her in the eyes. "Why," Sirus asked?
Veil shrugged. "I don't want to be disgrafeul when I'm there. I don't want this experience to be worst than it already is," Veil said. Sirus smiled and chuckled quietly at his new found idea.
"I'm sorry but it's going to only get worse from here, starting with this," Sirus turned around and kissed Veil. SHe pulled away and from there onto the next day they did not talk anymore.
Veil only looked at the ground after wards.
OCC- Hee hee hee. I'm so clever.

[Gecko]

OOC: HEY, Back Off... Veils with me ;)
Oh, and someone should E-mail jro13, coz I don't think he came back to the boards when they got back up. And we really need Siro in this...
-----------------------------------

IC:
As the group were wondering in the woods, in hope of catching up to Sirus and saving Veil. Sinahiro was walking in front of the group with Hentaro by his side. Mya and Kilik were walking behind them, thinking...

[b]Mya[/b]: Pssst, Kilik, isn't there something about Hentaro that reminds you of something?
[b]Kilik[/b]: You've just thought of it?

Mya looked at Kilik.

[b]Mya[/b]: What do you mean?
[b]Kilik[/b]: He is Hentaro Shimura... The prince of the extinced Clan of Shimura... The soul Surviver of the tragedy that accoured years ago... The Roxoski attacked and destroyed the whole Shimura Clan, and Hentaro was the only one found alive. Since then Sinahiro has been training him. Although he never went to the Academy, everyone says he is probbably more powerful then many of the tutors there...

Mya turned her head and watched Hentaro from behind...

[b]kilik[/b]: Sinahiro is said to have trained him after his own style, and now Hentaro has even taken on a similar walk as Sinahiro.

Mya looked closely and noticed how Hentaro and Sinahiro walked exactly the same way...

[b]Mya[/b]: You think he could beat us two?
[b]Kilik[/b]: Probably. He has had a lifetime of hatret and unrges for revenge, and advanced training. We haven't even finnished academy training yet, while he can beat most tutors already... I herd most times when he returns from training with Sinahiro, he often needs to see the doctor. He probbably trains more then anyone in the village...
[b]Mya[/b]: We're lucky they are on our side... I herd the Shimura have a bloodline abiliy...
[b]Kilik[/b]: They do, but no one outside of the Shimura have every lived to see it.
[b]Mya[/b]: You think he has learned about it yet?
[b]Kilik[/b]: I don't know...

Mya ran up ahead and walked up next to Sinahiros other side.

[b]Mya[/b]: Sinahiro-Sama, what were you planning on doing when we do catch up to him? We've already met him 3 times and he always slipps away.
[b]Sinahiro[/b]: I haven't got a plan yet. But we are suppose to hold him in place as long as possible.
[b]Mya[/b]: What!? But why? What good would that do?
[b]Sinahiro[/b]: I've sent a message to the temple elders. The Hokage has been asked to come find us, and stop Sirus.

Mya and Kilik got a shocked look on thir faces...

[b]Kilik[/b]: We're going to hold Sirus until the Hokage comes?! That's insane. Who knows what can happenen' until he arrives!

Killik keept walking behind them, bowed his head a shook it... [i] This is insane[/i]
Mya was still walking next to Sinahiro. She looked across to his other side and saw Hentaro. He looked just as calm and focused as Sinahiro.

Mya stepped back again and walked next to Kilik, who still seemed upset.

[Cyriel]

OOC: WHAT THE *******??? Sirus, what the heck? ew ew ew!! hahaha, just kidding. But that was DEFINITELY not what I was expecting. And Gecko, who ever said I was with you? Who said I was ever with anybody? Back off everyone!! haha, kidding again. ;) This is getting interesting...and kinda putting me in freakin awkward positions.
By the way, did anyone ever answer my question of what the Hokage are? I'm clueless.

IC:

Sirus moved quickly, and Veil simply sat behind him on the forebeast, silence thick between them. Ever since the incident the day before, Veil had kept her distance, or at least as much as you could when you were riding together, and Sirus did nothing to close it, letting her keep her privacy. For someone in the Roxoski Clan, she had to admit that he wasn't as horribly evil as she thought. That didn't mean she liked him, but at least she wasn't trembling from fear.

Instead, she kept her cold profile, trying to show Sirus that he definitely wasn't welcome. No, she wasn't trembling at all; she was PISSED OFF. (hahaha:D) [I]What the heck is going on? I thought I was some sacrifice, and now he's ... blurgh. I really have to find some way out of here...I have to get away from him...[/I] Her mind raced through possibilities, each one crazier and more desperate than the next. Obviously her thinking wasn't exactly rational: she was with some psychopath from the Roxoski Clan that was supposed to sacrifice her, and then suddenly he was kissing her... Yes, she definitely had to get away, and soon.

Then Veil's thoughts turned to another subject...Sinahiro. [I]So...it's disgraceful for Sirus to use his powers against Sinahiro...which...perhaps could give him the upper hand... I wonder where they are... [/I] But suddenly, Veil noticed Sirus glancing back at her almost imperceptibly, and tried to keep her mind blank. [I]I have got to remember not to think of them. He keeps reading my thoughts...[/I] She stared at the grass, trying to pick out the bugs to occupy her mind.

[Gecko]

OOC: LOL, But Veil. I thought you loved me! :P... By the way. A Hokage is the leader of the country, and is always considered the most powerful Ninja in it.

((OOC: sorry I'll add any oocs at the start of my rpg post))


Silents fell over the group. Mya looked at the sky while she walks.She took out on of the darts in her hand and looked at it. I remember when I use to live in that area.She thought trying to destract her self from the thought of a friend being missing. It was Mase and the twins Dre and Tre that were my first friends...that I actually remember.

Mase and Sham were really close.Mase and Sham taught all of us how to make posion...the twins were better at it than me though. Her mind wanders in her own thoughts. She stumbled over a rock and tried to pretend it didn't happen. Sham's dead Mase is missing both gone at the same time. I have a feeling this all has some thing to do with the Roxoski clan. She looked down and moved on trying not to think about it anymore. " I should think plesant thoughts..." She wispered to herself as she continued to walk.

" Mya you okay." Kilik said. Mya wasn't paying attention." Hum, oh ya I'm fine just thinking." She said trying to forget every thing she had just been thinking about. She put her dart away. " About what?" Hentaro said trying to distract himself from the silents." family,some friends...you know just stuff not all that important." She looked down for a second." You don't talk about them alot do you?" Hentaro said."

"hum," Mya looked up. " Your family." "Sham and Kai my cousins their dead now...a little while ago. they rasied me since I was little when our parents died... and we left the Auraski village.its been like a trail of death since I was about 3 " She said and then didn't say much after that. Where have I heard those names before. Sinahiro thought listening to the converstation taking place behind him.

[Box Hoy]

Sirus smiled as he travelled up a hill. "We're almost there," Sirus said. Veil raised an eyebrow. "And how do you know that," Veil asked?
Sirus turned and laughed. "I can feel thoughts of death and hatred," Sirus said. "In fact. After this hill we'll be there." Veil looked forward curiously.
They reached the top of the hill. Sirus stopped. Below them fires raged and small huts of sticks were everywhere. People were smoking, fighting, cursing, and doing all sorts of horrible things. Veil looked horrified at this city. "I haven't been here since the day the clan betrayed me. But thye should be quite apologetic after I show them the sacrifice," Sirus said.
They continued down.
People stared at Sirus and spat at him. But many looked at Veil with quite other views. Sirus smiled at all of them like there was nothing wrong.
The two reached the town square, or what looked like a square. There was one good building in the entire city, the temple of the elders of the Roxoski clan. Sirus got off the forebeast. It walked off while little filthy children tried to kill it with sticks. Veil looked around.
The women of the Roxoksi clan looked like dirt. Many had cuts and were very skinny. Sirus walked into the temple followed by Veil.
They finally reached the top of the temple. Two guards stood in front of the door to the chamber of the elders. Sirus bowed to them showing his insuperiority. The nodded and let him and Veil in. The elders looked up.
"Ah Sirus," said the older one said in a raspy voice. Sirus bowed again. "It semms you have brought a guest to us," said a quite younger elder. Sirus nodded.
"This is Veil of the Auruski Clan. I have brought her here to be the sacrifice that we have all seen in the prophcy," Sirus said. The elders nodded. "The one in which a savior will arise who has bathed in the blood of his enemy after a sacrifice," the eldest said. Sirus nodded. "Well you've pciked a quite nice one I must say," he said.
Veil blushed. How would she get out of this. Her blood was going to be turned into bathing water for someone to be washed in.
"There is no reason we should not see if it works," the elder said. Sirus nodded. "Tonight we will start the sacrifice. We must bless her. Sirus. We will take her. While we have her you feel free to get re acustumed to your old home," the elder said. A younger elder came forward as the others took Veil and left the room. "Sirus my old friend. Where have you been these years," he said. Sirus shook his head. "Trying to find a way to get back in my home,'' Sirus said.
The elder nodded. "Are you ready to become the savior of the Roxoski clan and bring victory to our clan," the elder asked. Sirus nodded. "Are you scared," he asked?
"No," Sirus said. "I spoke to the elders who have passed on. i told them I would get the Siroshima fire from a boy in the Auraski clan," Sirus said. "But this new opportunity presented itself. I have a plan though. I will use the new powers of this sacrifice to get the Siroshima fire and bring the Doomsday to our sworn enemies," Sirus said. The elder smiled and they continued.
That night came. There was a crowd around the town square. There was also a stage set up with knives and fire. The oldest elder came out he stood up on the stage. "My friends. Our luck is about to change this war. We ahve found a sutable sacrifice to bring the savior into the heart of the chosen one of the Roxoski clan. Our noble friend and scoundral Sirus," the elder said. There was a mix of boos and cheers. Sirus stood up on the stage. He only watched the crowd. "Now to present our sacrifice," the elder said.
A few guards approached followed by a nude Veil. They walked up the stage and the guards tied Veil to a board.
This was it. The sacrifice would begin now.

OCC- So you like twists eh'.

[Cyriel]

OOC: I'm about to be slaughtered like a goat, and you're asking me if I like the TWISTS???? AAAAUUGGGHHH!!! Somebody help me!!! heehee :D AAAUGH! I just reread that! Why am I nude??? no no no no no!!! Sirus, you are really going to die soon. :D

IC:

Veil didn't resist as she was tied to the board. The ropes were rough, and cut into her skin. The board was also rough, and it scratched her too. She tried not to move against it too much - she didn't want slivers.

[I]Slivers? What am I thinking? Here I am, ready to be sacrificed, and I'm thinking about slivers getting into my skin? Am I going crazy?[/I] Veil shook her head, trying to get her emotions straight. The truth, however, was that she was unconsciously in shock. How could anyone possibly try to think straight when they were about to die? To keep herself sane, her body was keeping her mind on odd, silly things that didn't matter. But that was a problem: she couldn't think of a way to save herself.

Veil scanned the gathered crowd, searching the faces in the flickering torch light. Her last hope faded away; there was no one that she recognized in the crowd, no one that might be a potential savior. The others...had not come to rescue her. She looked down at the floor, and noticed her bare feet. Then, she realized that she was completely naked. But...for some reason, it didn't matter anymore. Veil felt the cool breeze on her skin, and looked up at the dark sky, not even hearing the words of the Elder who was speaking.

If she was going to die, why listen to their nonsense? No..it was better to look at the sky, and see the stars, moon, and wispy clouds. Veil closed her eyes...trying not to feel the ropes on her wrist, and the rough wood against her back. She closed out the crowd of faces and eyes that were watching her...

[I]Is this...what I wanted? Is this really to be my fate?[/I] Veil asked herself silently, breathing deeply to calm herself. She wanted to keep control of herself - there was no way that she would afford them the victory of watching her lose her control, and turn into a sniveling coward. [I]No way. Never.[/I]

Veil opened her eyes again. And saw...the Elders. Sirus was standing also, but she felt nothing. No fear, worry, rage...she felt nothing. It was like she was already out of her body, just watching what happened. So she watched, silent, as the knife was solemnly presented to the Elder.

[/I]That's a very sharp blade[I], she thought to herself.

[Gecko]

As the elder was holding the knife, Sirus was getting undressed. He needed to be nude as well for the bathing. As he took of the last peaces of his clothing, Veil look in shock at how perfect his body looked. How could someone so powerful, and probbably faught a million battles not have any scratches on him? It was scary, as she was looking at him, Sirus turned around and looked at Veil, smiling.

As the elder was about to hand the knife to Sirus he said...

[B]Elder[/B]: Now, if there are no objections.. I give Sirus the Savior...
[B]People[/B]: We Object!

Everyone turned their heads, out of the crowed came 2 Roxoski people out. One ugly young woman, and one even uglier man.
Everyone stared at them

[B]Elder[/B]: What is the meaning of this?

Suddenly the 2 people exploded in a cloud of smoke, as the cloud cleared, the 2 were revieled. Kilik and Mya were revieled.
Kilik jumped forward throwing his bo at Sirus, it flew right at him but he caught it like it was a baseball. Sirus looked very man. As the people were about to attack, Hentaro appeared in the air above them. He did a few seals, then he blew a fire that blocked the crowd out from Mya and Kilik. None of then could get across the fire.
Hentaro started spining in the air and then he disapeared. He reappeared behind Sirus and made a wild punch right at him with his left arm. Sirus turned around and caught Hentaros hand, Hentaro quickly did a few seals with his right hand, then it started burning with a aweful fire. he swinged at Sirus with the burning hand. Sirus was unable to block, coz it would only burn him. Instead he jumped back, letting Hentaros hand go. As he look to his left he saw Kilik and Mya releasing Veil from her ropes. He tried running over to them, but Hentaro used his burning hands and blow fire between them, Sirus couldn't reache them. Sirus was very mad. He looked over at Hentaro with a burning hatret. He grabbed his sword from a bench close by, then charged at Hentaro at high speed. Hentaro had no time to react.

[B]Sirus[/B]: You're dead you little peace of ****...

Suddenly Sinahiro appeared in front of Sirus with his back towards Hentaro, he blocked Sirus sword with his sword.

[B]Sirus[/B]: You again...
[B]Sinahiro[/B]: Didn't think I'd leave my student to die, did you?

Sinahiro used his left hand to perform a few seals, then blew Sirus way back with a big gust of wind.
Hentaro took out his dagger and stood preppared next to Sinahiro. Sinahiro had no objections.

Over on the otherside of the fire.

[B]Mya[/B]: He's gonna let Hentaro fight?
[B]Kilik[/B]: If anyone can help Sinahiro, it's Hentaro. C'mon. Lets get Veil out of here.

They jumped of into the woods. As they got to safety, Kilik let Veil stand on her own legs.

[B]Veil[/B]: Thanks Kili...

She saw his eyes. Kilik looked scared and blood was running down his nose.
Veil looked down and jumped to. Then covered herself up.

[B]Veil[/B]: You little pervert!...

She punched Kilik out.
Behind her, Mya handed Veil her clothes...

[Cyriel]

OOC: Sirus undressing??? Veil actually [I]looking[/I] at him??? WHAT THE HECK???? DISGUSTING!!!!! I am so completely grossed out!!! I'm throwing up over the keyboard!!
But thanks for saving me:D

IC:

Veil quickly slid into her clothes, a blush burning her cheeks. [I]Jeez, I'm never going to do this again...[/I] she thought. [I]Next time, I will definitely run and at least try to escape.[/I] When modestly covered, she ran over, and tripped over Kilik's unconscious body. Mya helped her up.

"He's [I]still[/I] knocked out?" Veil asked, looking skeptically at his form.

Mya smiled wryly, "Well, I think maybe you hit him a little harder than you meant to. After all...well, we don't need to get into that."

Veil nodded her agreement, and then peered through the fire, trying to get a glimpse of Sirus, Sinahiro, and Hentaro. "You know, I appreciate you all rescuing me and everything, but next time, do you think you could get here before they have my clothes off?" Mya stared - how could Veil be so rude? But then Veil cracked a smile, "Just kidding! It's awesome to see you guys."

Suddenly, though, Veil's attention was directed away from the three in the middle of the fire. The other clan members of the Roxoski seemed to have spotted them, and were circling around. And they did [I]not[/I] look too happy...

"Kilik! Hurry and wake up!" Veil shook Kilik's form, and he groggily came to, blinking his eyes. "Welcome back," Veil said, "we've got our own fight on our hands." She took her glaive from Mya, and helped him stand up. They were surrounded.

Mya smiled, "Well, this'll be fun!"

Veil laughed. It felt so good to be free. She nodded, "Yeah, tons of fun... Lets get started!"

[Gecko]

On the other side of the fire, Sirus put on some clothing.

[b]Sirus[/b]: Does this mean we're not friends any more?
[b]Sinahiro[/b]: Our friendship was a brief minute in history.You will regret the day you came to Auraski and met me.
[b]Sirus[/b]: [i]What?... I didn't meet him in Auraski... I met him in Roxoski, where he bellongs[/i].. Trying your tricks on me again, eh Sinahiro?... Well it wont work.
[b]Sinahiro[/b]: [i]What is he talking about? What trick?[/i]

Sirus attacked sinahiro with his sword, Hentaro jumped into the air as Sirus sword clashed against Sinahiros blade. But Sirus had the speed, which made Sinahiro fall backwards with the pressure from Sirus body. As Sinahiro fell, he used his legs to throw Sirus behind him, and the jumped back up on his feet. Sirus fell on his back, but jumped up just as quick.
In the air Hentaro did a few seals, and blew "great balls of fire" (;) :P lol) at Sirus. Sirus jumped back a few feet to avoid the fire balls. Then he stood and watched at the giant flames which the fire had created between him and Sinahiro. One second he could see Sinahiros fading shape across the fire, but that same secons the shape disappeared. Sinahiro reappeared behins Sirus, swinging his blade at him. Sirus turned around and blocked it with his own sword. Behind Sirus came Hentaro, flying at him with his dagger. Sirus threw his legs into the air and jumped over Sinahiro to his other side. Hentaro missed Sirus and slashed the ground underneith him instead.
Hentaro was behind Sinahiro, and Sinahiro was in front of Sirus, still blocking his sword. Suddenly Sinahiro jumped into the air, and Hentaro charged at Sirus with his dagger while he was distracted by Sinahiro. Hentaro cut Sirus stomach, but didn't kill. Sirus Was bleeding, and just as he was about to cut Hentaro, ducins of Kunai came flying from the sky. Hentaro had jumped back. Sirus jumped sideways, avoiding the kunai. But as he stopped, he fell to his knees. He was bleeding badly...

Sinahiro landed on the ground where Sirus was standing earlier. Hentaro came standing to Sinahiros side...

[b]Sinahiro[/b] (Whispering): Just a little bit longer. I can feel the Hokages pressans approaching.

Hentaro nodded...

[Box Hoy]

Sirus smiled. He dipped his hand in the cut and drank his own blood. The cut healed. "I'm invicncible if you did not know," Sirus said. Sinahiro only smiled. "Just wait you fool. Death will come swift and slow so I can see you rot," Sinahiro said.
Sirus stabbed at Sinahiro and cut his arm. "Whoever you are you will die under my hands," Sirus said. Hentaro attacked from behind and Sirus stabbed him throygh the gut. Sirus watched as Henatro fell and bled.

[Gecko]

OOC: Dude... You can't kill Hentaro... That's just too damn unfair. He's one of the coolest characters... And I strongly doubt Sinahiro would let you stab him so easilly... Serioiusly, if you charged at Sinahiro. You think he would only stand there and watch you cut him? At least I had a good and hard motive to how You got cut.

[Shwa]

OOC: Hey!! How come I get K.O'ed by Veil?? Although it is funny, sorry i havn't posted in a while. I'll try to continue where Mya, Veil, and I left off on the other side of the fire (i guess).

The fire burned brightly in the night as Kilik, Mya, and Veil tried to find a way to help out Sinahiro fight Sirus, they were all ready to fight and get rid of him once and for all. They also knew they had to stall for time for the Hokages to come and help them defeat sirus, but time was one thing they didn't have enough of.

"I dont see any way we could get in and help, the fire is burning to high for us to jump over it" Mya told the others as she came from the left side of the fire.

"Nor I guys" Veil replied as she came from the right side of the fire. Kilik was in a tree scouting th earea for an opening, but couldn't find one. He landed on the ground to meet the girls. "Do you thinks we can run through" Veil asked

"I dont think so, the fire will burn you badly and prevent you from fighting" Kilik stated as he scratched his head. Then he thought of an idea, he could make a small pathway by twirling his Bo super fast to move the fire. HE told the others of his idea, Mya and Veil would have to go, someone would need to be outside doing the attack. Once it was agreed Kilik proceeded with the plan as he twirled his Bo in the air faster and faster unitl it loked like a disk, the fire was being sucked into the disk and make a small pathway for the girls.

"Be careful, and good luck" Kilik said as he saw the two enterthe pathway to help out sinahiro and Hentaro fight Sirus. Once they got into the middle Kilik stopped and the fire opening sealed itself, Kilik's hands were kinds burned afterwards but he didn't pay attention to it much. "Stall just for a little more for the Hokages " Kilik wispered to himself.

[Cyriel]

OOC: Who said that Hentaro's dead? He might just be bleeding on the ground.. I'll save him for you, Gecko, since you all saved me from being butchered. :D
By the way Mage15, look in my earlier post - you're surrounded by members of the Roxoski Clan. Have fun ;)

IC:

Veil closed her eyes as she went through the fire, feeling the hot flames brush her cheeks. When she opened her eyes again, they were in the middle of the circle, Sirus, Sinahiro, and Hentaro in front of them.

Mya instantly saw Hentaro on the ground, "Hentaro! Veil, help me!" Veil ran over to his side as well, and couldn't believe her eyes. He was pale...and very cold, despite the flames raging around him. He was covered in a cold sweat...and blood was everywhere. Mya clamped her hand over his wound, and blood soaked her hand and arm.

Veil's hand went to her mouth, "Oh..Mya...I don't know..." Her mouth trembled, and she clamped down on her teeth, trying not to tremble.

Mya was staring at Hentaro, and her eyes were tearing up. Suddenly, her expression changed to a determined look, and she wiped her eyes angrily with her hand. Blood smeared on Mya's face, and Veil was reminded of a fierce warrior ready to defend her people. Mya...reminded Veil of herself. Mya took her hand away from Hentaro's wound, and slapped Veil. The blood stained Veil's cheek like a red flag, an imprint of a palm in dark red.

Mya put her hand back on Hentaro's wound, desperately trying to stop the bleeding, "Veil! Snap out of it! I don't believe you! Are you just going to let him die??? Help me!"

Veil put her hand to her cheek, touching Hentaro's blood on her face. It was still wet, warm and slick on her fingers. [I]Blood...[/I] What was this feeling? Her own blood pounded in her veins, surging and igniting like fire... yes, it was like fire in her blood... What was happening? She stared at her fingertips, wet with the dark red stain of Hentaro's life on them. They glistened in the flame, and Veil watched the motley of shapes and shadows change and transform with the light.

Mya grew still, watching Veil. A visible change had come over her...she stared with eyes that didn't really seem to see... Was something wrong with Veil? Why didn't she do anything? Why wasn't she helping Hentaro? Then, Mya's attention was turned away, as Hentaro opened his eyes and started coughing horribly. "Hentaro! Hentaro, please, say something. Are you ok?"

He coughed more, blood spilling out of his mouth, and he looked at Mya with wide eyes. "...Mya...? Where's...Sinahiro-sensei..." His eyes closed again, and blood dribbled out of his mouth. Mya looked up, and saw Veil's back turned to her. "Veil?" she whispered quietly, almost frightened by this new image.

Veil didn't turn, keeping her back towards Mya, not even hearing her words. She still stared at the blood on her fingertips...and then...her gaze was drawn to the fight. Sinahiro and Sirus. Their shadows danced as they sped in the quick steps of their deadly fight. Their weapons screeched against one another, and the cacophany of their words bombarded her ears. She was utterly focused on their battle, her eyes drawn to the intricate, deadly pattern.

Veil looked up at the sky, her eyes growing wide and her pupils huge. There was no moon, no stars...it was velvety black, the dark only interrupted by the raging inferno that they fought in. Her words came whispered, instinctively...she had never said them before, and yet, she knew them, and said them now. "[I]Two paths...divided by the setting of the moon, and the rising of the sun. Two paths...joined by fire and blood. [B]Fire[/B], strong and swift, enchanting, alluring, and deadly. [B]Blood[/B], silent, beautiful, necessary to life, and the more powerful of the two. [B]Blood[/B]...calls to that of its own. Calls me...to answer.[/I]"

Sinahiro and Sirus didn't notice Veil at all, entirely concentrated on each other. They stood, glaring at each other, sweat and blood dripping off their bodies. Both radiated power and strength...but which would last longer?

Veil whispered, her words silky in the darkness. Her words, however quiet, were discordant with everything around her. She stared at the two, Sinahiro and Sirus, and then, slowly began walking towards them. Fighting again, neither of them noticed her figure drawing close.

Then...Veil reached for a small bomb, and detached it from the band across her chest. Carefully, she took aim...her hand shook, but she steadied it, her blood murmuring in her ears, excited and exhilarated.. The smell of blood and sweat was almost...refreshing to her... What was this feeling? Blood...she wanted...blood... She aimed. At Sinahiro.

And then he saw her, ready to throw the weapon to end his life. His eyes locked on hers, and she stopped, startled by his gaze, the excitement in her blood thrown off. Then, Sirus laughed.

Sinahiro turned to Sirus, and his voice was low and dangerous. "What did you do to her? What's wrong with her?"

Sirus laughed again, and looked at Veil, whose expression was flickering, as if unsure... He smiled, "It's a good thing I got to her first. Isn't it amazing what a kiss can do?"

[Gecko]

Hentaro opened his eyes briefly again, and saw what was going on.

[b]Hentaro[/b] (quetly): Veil... No...

As Hentaro fainted again, the last few seconds of his sight focused in on Veil. He saw her closely for the first time ever. From her back, he could only see drops of swet.

Veil was swetting. Her body moved it's own way, didn't obey Veils mind. She was deeply hypnotized.
As she was aiming at Sinahiro her eyes looked into his. She stared into them, he seemed calm and afraid at the same time. But mostly worried, could it be for her sake? His eyes glipset at her, and she only keept zooming in on his. His light blue eyes, the emotion they repelled. She focused on his eyes compleetly, the rest of his face seemed to fade away as she looked deeper into them. When it finally got so close that it seemed he was standing right in front of her. She saw it, Veil saw what she was looking for. It was her own reflection.
Suddenly she blinked, her eyes looked around, soon after even her body started to move as she lowered her arm, still feeling light headed, she fell to her knees.
Sinahiros eyes twitched as he got back to his battle. He attacked Sirus with his blade. The battle raged further.

Veil was just coming to, still dazzed. Behind her Mya was shouting...

[b]Mya[/b]: VEIL!... Hentaro has awakened. Get some leaves and sticks so he can heal himself before he faints again...

Veil slowly turned her head and looked back at Mya, suddenly she smiled...

[b]Veil[/b]: Hai.

Veil jumped up, got on a tree and started picking leaves. As she looked away for a minute she could see that Kilik was being attack, and was even hurt. She grabbed a few more leaves, jumped down, handed them to Mya, and then jumped up on the tree again, she used the hight to jump over the flames, over to Kilik side.
She used her Glaiv to throw away a few of the Roxoski people, and then stood by Kiliks side to help him. They were still attacking.

Mya put the leaves and twigs on Hentaro, she helped him perform the seals with his hands and then she held his hands as the technique started healing him. Mya smiled at Hentaro as his pale face finally got some color.
Hentaros eyes opened compleetly as he saw Mya, holding his hands.

[b]Hentaro[/b]: Thank you...
[b]Mya[/b]: No problem...


Sinahiro and Sirus swords were clashing, and they both threw each other back. As Sinahiro kneeled to stop, he held his blade in front of him with his right arm, with the other he performed a few seals.His blade started glowing blue, Sinahiro slashed the air with the blade and a giant whirlwind flew at Sirus, tossing his body all around, he couldn't control it. Suddenly Sinahiro appeared behind Sirus, thrusting his blade at him. Sirus turned around and did the same...
The wind stopped... Sirus sword ran through Sinahiros shoulders. And Sinahiros blade ran through Sirus stomach. Both were tired, swety, and bleeding. Gasping for air they stared at each other evily.

Sirus fell flat on his back, and Sinahiro on his knees, then on his backside.Sinahiro gasped for air as he was trying to calm down.

Hentaro had got back up on his feet. He still dazzeled, but he would manage. Then he saw Sirus on the ground and Sinahiro sitting with a sword through his shoulder. He ran over to him.

[b]Hentaro[/b]: Sinahiro-Sensei!... You did it!!!

Sinahiro was still gasping for air... Mya stood behind Hentaro, watching as he was picking up any leaves to heal Sinahiro with...
Suddenly Sirus jumped up, pulled out the sword from his stomach and grabbed Mya, then held the sword to her neck.
Sinahiro tried to get up, but he couldn't, and there was no time to heal him...

Hentaro stepped forward, pulled out his dagger and stared at Sirus...

[b]Hentaro[/b]: Sirus, I will pay you back for this.

He pulled up his shirt, revieling a big scar on his stomach.

[b]Sirus[/b]: Big deal, I have one myself. See?... Although, hehe, I do think my will heal much quicker.

Mya picked up a kunai from her holdster and cut Sirus arm, he let her go.

[b]Sirus[/b]: Aaaa!!! You little peace of ****!.. I'll kill you for sure... But first, this little punk has a promiss to keep....

They went into a stare-down...

[b]Sinahiro[/b]: Hentaro!... I sware, if you beat him you will graduate! Do your best!... Mya!

Mya twitched and noticed how Sinahiro was trying to tell her to look over at the other side of the fire...

[b]Sinahiro[/b]: They need your help... Go!

[Box Hoy]

OCC- Watch me go crazy HAHAHA.
IC- Sirus took out a small skinning knife. He started cutting around the wounds to make the blood flow more. He stood up clutching his wounds. "Fire Sinahiro. Fire is the esnece of my power. And it is the esence of your demise," he said.
Sinahiro watched Sirus intently. Sirus started cutting wounds all over his arms. Sinahiro tried to make a weak joke. "Ah. Destroying yourself to create my win," Sinahiro said. Sirus only smiled.
He started walking into the flames. "Meet bloodrath fool," Sirus said. He started yelling in pain and anger as the flames tore his body apart.
He looked on with angerthe fire started to nestle within his open veins and become energy. The fire rehealed all his wounds and he was as good as new.
He stepped out of the fire looking un changed. He started walking towards Sinahiro. "What did you do to yourself," he asked?
"You'll see you fool," Sirus said. He approached more rapidly now and then finally grabbed Sinahiro by the neck. Sinahiro tried to get out but Sirus's grip was too hard. He threw Sirus into the burning pole in which Veil would've been sacrificed on. Sirus stood there. The fires started to circle in a way of a spiral around Sirus. Sinahiro looked in horror. "Your blood will be my power you Roxoski traitor," Sirus said. Suddenly he was kicked into the ground by Veil.
Sirus turned around. He looked at her as she started to speak. "You fool Sirus. You do not understand. I am the traitor to the Roxoski clan that you think Sinahiro is. I am the reancarnated spirit of the frineds you became enemies with. You mistook Sinahiro and I for we have nearly identical spirit signals," Veil said. Sirus looked at her. She did indeed have a nearly identical spirit signal. Sirus stood up. "Then you will die," he said.

[Shwa]

Kilik Was in bad shape after fighting some of the members of the Roxoski members that Sirus sent after him. Kilik was cornered to a tall tree when the members approached at him slowly with their swords ready to peirce his flesh. Suddenly, Mya came in front of Kilik, she has jumped over the fire onto the tree and landed safely to help out Kilik.

"Are you alright" she said as she was looking at the Rozoski members, Kilik gave a sigh of releife once he saw her. The Roxoski members attacked, Mya took most of them while Kilik took about five or so. Afterwards they rested and looked at the ring of fire, at the same time the tree which Mya used to get over was being burned down once the wind moved some of the fire towards it.

"That was our only way of gettng across" Mya pointed out and they were gasping for air. "Can you do that fire trick again?" Mya questioned.

"Yeah, but i gotta idea on where to use it" Kilik replied, they jumped on the burning tree and tried to jump out as fast as they could without getting burned. Once they got in the middle Kilik spun his disk around very quickly again, this time the wind was very powerful than last time. The ring of fire had now been sucked into his staff and was now a disk of fire, Kilik didn't need to hold onto it anymore since it levitated over his palm. There was stull gusts of wind all around and made some poeple shut their eyes so no debree would get into them. Once Sirus shut his eyes for a second Kilik threw his disk at him, knocking him about 5 feet away from everone and releacing the fire over his body. Afterwards Kilik's hand and arms were burnt and scratched badly, but they will heal after some time.

"Nice goin'" Mya said as she went to his side, the same as Sinahiro, Veil, and Hentaro had gathered together. About 2 minutes later Sirus walked towards the group holding Kilik's Bo in his hand and he had a big gash on his forehead. Once he stopped he broak Kilik's Bo in half with one hand.

"No mercy for any of you" he yelled with such anger and hatred, his eyes showed the same. Everyone just stood their ground and prepared for whatever he was planning.

[Cyriel]

Veil stood, smiling at Sirus, her eyes cold. She wasn't the same self that the others in the group knew her as. It was like she was under Sirus's control again, but...he hadn't cast a spell on her at all.

She walked forward towards Sirus, still smiling. Her blood was roaring through her veins, excitement pulsing with the adrenaline. The dark night called to her, and she heard all the whisperings and odd mutterings in the shadows. Completely ignoring Sinahiro, Hentaro, Mya, and Kilik, she stopped a couple inches in front of Sirus, who waited in silence, watching her. He was studying her eyes, looking for the familiar souls...and realized that she really was who she said she was.

She stood casually, one hand on her hip, looking at the new form that the bloodwrath had shaped for him. Veil nodded, still smiling, listening to her blood speak in her veins. Hentaro's blood still stained her fingertips, and she brushed off the dried flakes. She spoke softly, speaking so only Sirus could hear her, "Well, Sirus...I take it you've been searching for me. And...I was under your nose the whole time. It's not like you to be careless, or to be so easily deceived. Have you grown weaker, old friend?"

Sirus's eyes narrowed at Veil's quiet words. The quality of her voice had changed...it was insinuated with power now. Her true spirit seemed to be coming out, the souls of the Roxoski awakening in her veins. She was dangerous now...with too much power. He was going to stay silent, but then spoke. "Yes, I have been looking for you. For the longest time... I didn't realize that you had been reborn so late, that your form would be so young. But...I should have known it was you, when you revealed that you were after the Siroshima Fire. We were all after it...and even when you betrayed us, you couldn't let it go. So...I should have guessed, when your soul so conveniently went after the Siroshima Fire under the pretense of a forced marriage. Clever."

Veil laughed, her lashes brushing her cheeks as she closed her eyes. As Sirus and the others watched her, she was indeed clearly changed. Every move she made was enveloped in a dangerous power, a frightening strength newly revealed. She was an entirely different being, her inherited Roxoski blood mixing with that of the Auraski. She stilled, and stared at Sirus. "Well, true, you guessed right. I suppose I couldn't let go of that Siroshima Fire...and I don't mind telling you that it will be mine, soon enough."

Sirus smirked, skeptical now, but still cautious of her. "So, you would go against the mission of your friends? They have sworn to defend the Chosen One and the Siroshima Fire, especially that Sinahiro. You would fight against them?"

She tossed her head, looking at the dark, velvety sky. "Sirus...I betrayed the Roxoski... What makes you think that I won't betray them? Even though I disagreed with the Roxoski, and left, doesn't mean that I have become so good that I won't sacrifice a few lives to get what I need. I'm not as soft as you were - I never was. Have you become so weak?"

Sirus narrowed his eyes again, and suddenly she put her face close - [I]very[/I] close. Sinahiro's breath stopped...he couldn't believe his eyes. What the heck was Veil doing?

She smiled, staring into Sirus's eyes. "Sirus...old friend...don't stand in my way. If you do...beware...I will destroy you." She kissed him, closing her eyes. Sirus was utterly surprised, but didn't pull away; he could taste the power on her lips, the threat that she presented to him. Behind her, he heard Sinahiro and the others draw in their collected breaths.

Veil pulled away, and turned around. Sirus barely heard her next words. "You're right, Sirus. A kiss can be quite powerful indeed." She laughed, walking back to the shocked group.

[Gecko]

OOC: Wonder why Sirus is so frightened of Veil... He's imortal. If I was imortal I'd laugh in Veils face :P
----------------------------------

IC:
Sinahiro stopped staring and was trying to heal himself. Mya and Kilik stood side by side. And Hentaro was... Missing...
No one could see hentaro. He was gone. Even Veil was confused as to what had happened... They herd it...

[b]Hentaro[/b]: SIRUS! Veil!...

Everyone looked to the direction where the sound came from. Suddenly they saw a frightful sight... Hentaro... was a ghost! You could see straight though his body. He was transparent, and everyone was wondering what was going on.

[b]Sinahiro[/b] (Whispering): So he finally decided to use it. hehe...

Hentaros eyes and face turned into a frightening sight. Thehate it reppeled gave en Sirus a chill down his spine.

[b]Hentaro[/b]: Sirus!... I will punish you for what you did... For what you did to us, and for what you did to Veil... I'LL KILL YOU!

Hentaro pulled out his dagger. Sirus, still gasping, pulled out his sword.

[b]Sirus[/b]: I don't know what freaky thing you're doing punk, but you'll end now!

They attacked each other. Their weapons clashed and their hatret ran through their veins. Veil watch, no longer having the cocky look on her face. She watched how Hentaro had gotten so strong so fast. What was this new technique he wasusing? How couldhe be transparent?

Hentaro took this fight seriously and was very causious with his moves. He blocked first and looked for the perfect opening. He was going for a Critical Hit!
Sirus had not met such a match since Sinahiro...

[Box Hoy]

OCC- Whoa Veil Doing some Underworld stuff eh'. Well I got a new twist.
IC-
Sirus spun iwth his sword out and slashed at Hentaro. "Listen Hentaro. Veil. She has changed. Listen to me," Sirus said as he stabbed. Hentaro only slashed at him.
"I will kill you," Hentaro said. Sirus jumped into the air and drop kicked Hentaro. Sinahiro only watched.
"Hey if Sirus is already dead and Hentaro is a ghost then the two will be at this forever right," Mya asked Sinahiro? Sinahiro only watched buut she could see that he was thinking about the same thing.
"Here's my theory. If Sirus is dead but not a ghost he is something we all do not understand. But I guess the power of death is feeding him. On the other hand Hentaro is truly dead and a ghost," Sinahiro said. Sirus slashed at Hentaro but could never get a clear shot.
Finally Sirus got a killing shot in but it went straight through Hentaro's body and didn't faze him. "What. Oh right you're a ghost," Sirus said.
Hentaro just smiled at this reaction. "Who are truly brave to find out my strength and not be afraid," he said. Sirus smiled. "A ghos tis a ghost. And you are one of them. Now let me show you a weakness of a ghost," Sirus said. As Hentaro went in for a slash Sirus let himself become open for the attack. Hentaro's blade passed throguh him. Hentaro looked angryly at Sirus and continued this until he realized he could not be fazed. "We are fighting from two seperate realms," Sirus said.

Hentaro still continued to try to find a way to kill Sirus but Sirus ignored him. He was more content with what was approaching in the forest.
Sinahiro smiled at it when he saw what it was. The Hokage had arrived.

[Cyriel]

OOC: aw, is Gecko jealous that Veil kissed Sirus? hahahaha, no, I'm just teasing you.;) As for Sirus being afraid...he's not really frightened, he's just cautious because Veil is changing into something unknown...she's like a changing factor, and one that is potentially dangerous. So yeah, he's just being careful.

IC:

Veil watched the two fight; neither of them could do lasting damage to the other. But..it was interesting... How had Hentaro been able to change so fast? [I]It seems...that we are all laying aside our disguises, and revealing our true forms...[/I] she thought to herself, completely entranced by the blows being exchanged. She didn't even notice Sinahiro, who was staring at her oddly. He wansn't dumb - he obviously knew that something about her had changed...something drastic. But what? It was like a strange aura about her...something alive..but not quite.

Mya spoke quietly to him, "Sinahiro, what's wrong with Veil?"

Sinahiro looked at her, and then back up. "So..you sense it too?"

She snorted, "Well, it's pretty obvious. I mean, look at the way she's acting!"

He nodded. "Yes, I know. But...I can't quite figure it out. I didn't hear what Veil was saying to Sirus, so I have no idea. But...it's odd. The feeling around her is like...something dead, but not quite. It's like Veil is hanging, stuck between life and death..." His words were dark and foreboding, and Mya shivered. Kilik stood, not moving as he watched the battle intently.

Veil watched Sirus's eyes swing towards the trees, and followed his gaze. But she didn't have to - she could already feel their presence. "Hokage," she whispered. She saw Sinahiro smiling, and her eyes narrowed, but she stayed still. They were still a little bit off - she still had time.

She strode forward, positioning herself between Hentaro and Sirus. She turned to Sirus, speaking scornfully. "Sirus! You weakling! Can you not even defeat this little ghost? Have your powers diminished so much??"

He narrowed his eyes, angry at her constant interruptions. "You are being rude. Remove yourself from this fight...or I will be forced to unpleasant consequences."

Veil laughed. "You would kill me? That's what you've been trying to do this whole time, and yet you couldn't even identify me correctly. And now, you cannot even defeat this dead child. [I]You[/I]...could never kill [I]me[/I]."

She turned around. "So, Sirus...I've decided to help you. Just this once, because I am exhausted by your constant display of arrogant weakness." She turned to Hentaro, glaring. "Hentaro! Do you accept my challenge?"

Hentaro stood, stunned. He knew that Veil had changed...but this? Who was she?? "Veil..wha..?"

Veil's eyes froze him in place. "I asked you, little Hentaro, my little ghost rider, do you accept my challenge? If you do not...then surrender, and I will spare you. Once. But this is your only chance. If you stubbornly refuse to accept defeat, then I will destroy you, to put it simply. Please, answer quickly. I want my business to be finished by the time the Hokage arrive, and they are close." She smiled cruelly, and Hentaro's skin crawled. Veil, on the otherhand, was never feeling more excited. Her blood was hot, pulsing through her veins like a war drum.

She turned back to Sirus. "Step aside, old friend. You, of all people, do not deserve to fight such a foe. You are not even worthy of [I]my[/I] time anymore." Ignoring him, Veil turned back to Hentaro. She smiled at him, one of her sweet, innocent, care-free smiles. Her expression didn't at all match her cold, dark words. "You answer, dear little ghost?" She was excited; her soul had waited so long for this...and now, she felt alive again. But...a little part of her...was screaming. But she brushed the odd feeling away, and stared at Hentaro, thinking of his life, his soul... [I]My turn to take souls, Sirus[/I], she thought to herself. Yes, it was her turn.

Hentaro stood, unsure of what to do. He glanced at Veil, and at Sinahiro, and then to the trees. He, too, could feel the Hokage coming...but they still weren't quite close enough. On the other hand...if he fought Veil..he might kill her. What was wrong with her? Why was she doing this? What...was he going to do?
