((Magen: Nai Koukyoukyoku "Demonic Illusion: Dead Symphany 16/80))

Selina hardly notices when Tieren smashes the orb. Oddly she still has not gotten the thing to be free of her. That is what she must do as well as make the orb. Being the case, she doesn't make anymore Orbs right away. Instead she collapses into a meditative state.

The art of making the ball has come easy, but for some reason, covering every aspect of the jutsu is still lost on her. The orb she makes is perfect size and all but she can not propell chakra to hold it air born very long. There has to be a trick to it some. But as she concentrates on that, images of Kyuzu flood her mind too. Ok, one more try, then I need to talk with him, find out what is what. I don't want to just lose him like I did Jystik. I don't want to have to kill him. A tear runs down her eye as she ponders that day. Jystik went into forbidden training because he wanted to protect her from everything. And she had to kill him to stop him when a demon took over.

Selina quickly wipes the tear away when a certain familar cat voice awakens her senses some. You are pathetic, men are not that important. Get with the program and learn the jutsu.

Selina snaps back to reality and begins the handsigns. Bitch Cat.

Damn Straight.

Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, and Snake. That is the handsigns that she sits and learns as she makes her chakra mover through her hands. And as the orb forms, Selina stands up to her full height, not a slouch one. The orb is in her hand, but she makes no effort to puncture it to create the Dead Symphany just yet. No, she wants to work on the making the orb stand alone. As she focuses her chakra further, she begins that.

The orb doesn't move from her hand at first. It simply lingers there as she tightens her focus. "Come on", she whisper, "Lift." She tightens her focus incredibly more on the orb and it begins to rise from her hand. It is a slow tedious process. This ball is composed of her own chakra and she should be able to control it better.

Again with intense thought, the orb rises further from her hand. This time she moves her hand away and the orb is stationary. Hanging motionless in mid air. Selina dispells it at that success, though she did not puncture this ball, she did make it hang without help in mid air.

"Tieren, I need to speak with Kyuzu privately, stay here, ok."

Now on to Kyuzu, she does need to speak with him about all of this. In a body flicker (1/4), Selina appears on the opposite side of the clearing area where Kyuzu is. Though he seems to be facing where the team was, he seems caught up in his bloodlimit jutsu. It is coming along nicely for him. Selina can only smile.

But she does want him to herself for this conversation, but the perfect attention grabber is what she has been working on. Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Snake. Her hands proceed through the handsigns and she creates a ball of chakra, just like before. Then she brings it back to the air, just like last time, behind Kyuzu about ten feet away.

In the same instance, she stabs the chakra ball with a single kunai, creating a single sound, a zombie's whail. With her Chakra though the ball does not spin to produce the sound until it is only a few inches from Kyuzu's back in mid air.

No doubt he will probably jump. But Selina will have his attention. "Penny for your thoughts Kyuzu?"

Kyuzu was very focus in his training, when there was suddenly a loud wail behind him. He jumps forward and turns around swiftly punching straight at the chakra orb ball breaking it. As it shatters and fall aimlessly to the ground, he looks up and notices that it was Selina. Hearing her words over the waterfall, he walked over towards her. He didn't know what it was she wanted, but it must be important if she went to that detail of gaining his attention.

He began to put up his kunai back in it's holster in his right leg. He then turned his attention back to her. Deactivating his kekkai genkai as he began to approach her. Looking at her with a eye of intensity, as he got to her his kekkai genkai eye had returned to itself just as he reached her.

Not too sure of what to do and what to say. He bowed his head, with no words. Keeping his head bowed, there was surely something that he was about to say to her, but what was it. He wasn't too sure of himself until he spoke..

"Sorry, I didn't mean to break your orbs," he said in a apologetic manner rising up from the previous bowed position. Looking into her eyes, he could sense something was up. Yet, he couldn't quite put his hand on it.

"You wanted to talk...yes what it is," he replied as he took a seat down near the waterfall where he had begun his training. He sat there and looked over the waterfall offering her a place to sit beside him. Even though his actions showed that he really didn't want her to take him up on that offer. Yet, he decided to see how and what it is she wanted.

[selina]

Selina walks over and takes the seat next to him. Her head lay on his back some. The water makes her a bit nervous, but that is ok. Large bodies of water does that to her, probably because of Nibi.

She takes her time and picks her words, "Before I...we started this thing, I did see someone else. Though I think in his bloodlimit, it went against the rules. Before all was said and done, he came to me asking me to kill him because a demon got out of control that he made a pact with. The demon attacked me and before I knew it, I held him in my arms, killed by my own hand.

"Trusting for me isn't easy. The first people I trusted, the elders of the Thunder Village, sterlized me when I was just a kid. Against my will. The Kage's I trusted all died on me. Starting back with Lash who took control of my life from the elders and down the line."

This is where she pauses some. The need to collect herself as a tear falls down her face. "I came to trust you on that mission we went on and I want to see where this goes between us...you might say I have fallen for you. I know it isn't saying much when you think about it. But trusting takes a lot for me to do. And I trust you fully. But now I feel you pulling away from me Kyuzu." She nuzzles his back slightly, "That is what worries me. I think I love you and I feel like you are walking away from me."

She lifts her head and moves to look into his eyes, taking his head in her hands, "Please talk to me, Kyuzu, don't walk away." Her eyes are a bit tear stained. But she can't help it.

[gotunks]

As Selina placed her head upon his shoulder. Kyuzu remembered the first time they had met. As he began to relish in the past, he then quickly snapped to attention when she began to state that she was going through some things. That it dealt with him as well. She had experienced what having your heart broken was like. He hadn't yet he couldn't understand exactly what she was going through.

Shocked at the story of her killing her last boyfriend, kinda made Kyuzu at ease, but there was something else he was afraid of and that was losing her. He didn't want that to happen, but he couldn't explain the feelings that were starting to embed themselves within him. There was something much more to this yet, he didn't have the answers.

As she brings his head even with hers, there is a tear beginning to run down the side of his face. He knew what she was going through, and he couldn't help but feel bad for her. He slowly began to have another set of tears run down his other cheek this time, as he broke down crying. He leaned forward, and began to cry hard. He was a failure again, not only as a friend, and as a person that had experienced love.

"Selina...I don't want this to end. I love you myself. I...I...," said Kyuzu as he began to cry. He couldn't finish his statement and it seems that he wouldn't at the pace he was going. He was for the first time, showing emotions that at first glance proved to be nearly impossible to draw out.

[selina]

Seeing him feeling as much as she does, kind of makes Selina happy to see, but she hides it at first. She presses her lips to Kyuzu's kissing him gentally. "I love you", she whispers. She doesn't want to be without him. Not now, not ever.

She kisses him once more and then wraps her arms around him, holding him close to her heart. "Whatever it is, I'll face it with you if you let me. I trust you Kyuzu. And I love you with all my heart. Just trust in me, ok. Don't shut me out. I can handle whatever it is you need to tell me."

Selina does want to know what it is that is this small void in Kyuzu's heart. But she would not know until he tells her. And she hopes to coax it out of him now.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: N/A
Special: Handseals
Drawback: N/A
Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited; however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state. When first learned the user is capable of having or capable of creating up to Five Clones. Each time learned the user learns this technique the number of Clones is capable of increasing by one. The maximum amount of clones is Ten for the Difficulty Class of D Rank. For each Difficulty Rank Increase the number increases by five of maximum but learning is still one per learned.
Limit: Water Release

20/30

Now that h e had speed down, he needed to work on his numbers. It was certainly less then perfect when it came to the last time he tried to make two quickly, so he would work his way up. First, he performed the few handseals as he had the process in his head and managed to instantly make one clone. It was a little weak, so he needed to retry it.

He dispelled the single clone and made sure he had the process in his head again. Then, he performed the handseals again, holding the last one and made a clone again. A single clone. Better, but not perfect. He immediately disspelled it and performed the handseals again. This time when he made the clone, it was an exact likeness of himself. So, he needed to work on making 2, then 3, then so on.

So, to start off, Tieren pictured himself making 2 clones out of water. He got the process in his head, now it was time to put it in action. Performing the handseals again, he made the two clones appear. When he looked at the clones that he made, one of them was perfect again, while one, was....well lets just say it was not looking to good. It looked dead, and kinda pathetic.

Disspelling them, he needed to figure out how he was going to do that. 'Hmm...It said that it should be similar to creating one. How about making them separately, then together' He thought as he performed the handseals and made one clone. It was perfect as he performed the handseals again and made a second. Then disspelling them, he performed the handseals and made two clones that were extremely perfect.

'Good, now for three' Tieren thought as he performed the handseals and made one clone. That one was perfect. He then performed the handseals again and made a second. Again, another perfect clone. Lastly, he performed the handseals a third time and made a third clone. It was perfect. He realized that they were perfect since he was already good at making one, now he needed to combine them.

So, he performed the handseals and held the last one as he thought of himself making 3 clones. Then he had three clones appear. 2 of them were perfect, one was okay. He needed 3 to be perfect. So he disspelled them and performed the handseals again and made the 3 clones appear. When he looked at it, the three clones were perfect once more. Excited, he needed to get four, then five.

Disspelling the clones, Tieren decided to make 4 individual clones, just like he had with all of the others. So he performed the handseals and made one clone. It was perfect. Performing the handseals again, he made a second clone. This was perfect as well. Performing the handseals a third time, the third clone was perfect. Now for the fourth time. Performing the handseals, he made a fourth one. When he looked at it, it was perfect.

Now for all four at once. He got the process in his head once more and then performed the handseals again, holding the last one and picturing 4 clones in his head. Once he got that finished, he made the clones appear. All four appeared and then he looked over them. 1st one was perfect, so was the second and the third. Now for the finale, the fourth. When he looked at it...it was perfect. Now, he needed to get the 5th one.

Disspelling the 4 clones, Tieren immediatly performed the handseals and made one clone. He repeated the process 3 more times and made 4 more clones, all of them perfect renditions of himself. Finally, he performed the handseals a fifth time and made a fifth clone. This clone was, as the others, perfect. He was excited, now he needed to make all five at once.

Making the process in his head for hopefully the last time, he performed the handseals and held the last one as he pictured five clones in his head. When he got the picture, he made the clones appear. Then he looked over them. The first four were perfect, but it was the fifth that he was worried about. When he looked at it, he studied it a bit and said "Perfect". He was certainly pleased with what he did. But he needed to do one last thing with them.

When he disspelled the clones, he immediatly performed the handseals again and didnt even think about it. He just made the clones instinctively. When he looked over them again, he was pleased. He had gotten the creation part of this down, now he needed to get the attacking part down. Having each one attack him with their individual staff, he then attacked them back, reverting them back to their water state. Once they were all gone, he then was pleased at what had happened.

Hearing Selina tell him to stay there made his thoughts race. He just stared out at them while he waited for them to come back. He was hoping that one of them would beckon over to him, but he couldnt keep his containment. Walking over to them, Tieren heard what Selina had said...

"Whatever it is, I'll face it with you if you let me. I trust you Kyuzu. And I love you with all my heart. Just trust in me, ok. Don't shut me out. I can handle whatever it is you need to tell me."

Upon hearing this, Tieren piped up and said "And you know you can count on me. We may be rivals, but you are one of my closest friends here, and the first person that I met when I graduated. I was there when we first found out we were on a team. I was there when you had that fight with Ryoku. And I was there when you two had met each other. We have been together for a long time. And I never would harm a friend. I will protect you and help you in any way I possibly could. Im sorry Selina, but I felt like I could come over. We are a team, and we always will be a team. We will help each other out no matter what the situation, and that, in my eyes, will always be true."

[adero]

satis +10.

add it.

[gotunks]

As the lips meet his he's shocked. How could someone still love him and says they will remain at his side even after pushing them away along the mission. He never meant for such things to occur. There was something that was eating at him from the inside. Is it hate or is it just a thirst for power. Who knows? That was one answer he must find out on his own.

He finally brought himself to quit crying and look up when he heard the supporting words from his friend Tieren. He quickly wiped his face of the tears as they left damp moist spots on his cheeks. He then began to tighten his headband, and look at the two for a mere second, and began walking forward before coming to a pause. Turning over his shoulder he began to speak.

"There's somethings that I must do alone. Not now, but when the time comes I shall let you all know ok," said Kyuzu as he began to feel the needed comfort and support from his friends. "I want distance myself away from you guys anymore. You all have gained my respect."

With that said, he began to ponder on his next portion of training that would have to occur. He would have to learn this one alone, as he will be needing more concentration than ever before. He looked at the two awaiting their answer, and to find out whether they were going to continue towards Rain. He knew once in Rain he wouldn't be able to use his lightning jutsus without the threat of getting hurt himself, and his teammates being trapped in one of his lightning jutsus.

[selina]

Selina is a bit upset that Kyuzu isn't interested in sharing with her the problem that he has. Even now she can't fathome exsactly what it it that she feels he is try to do but she will live with the situation and what it is Kyuzu says he must do. Until he tells her anyway.

She looks around and focuses on her jutsu of Hellsears. Her eyes close and she simply listens beyond the clearing and then comes back. "We do have a mission to continue. Before we get too wrapped up in continuing training. How about we change locations. Further toward the Grass boarder and then we can stop and break for awhile and train further on the boarder." She says the last part under her breath but it is one part that the Nibi approves of some, "Less water."

[Tieren]

"I agree. We do still have to get to grass and rain. And then we have to find this village. Finding it could prove....problematic to say the least. So then shall we go, as a Team?" Tieren said to them as he stood up and let them lead the way.

OOC: Sorry, its short, sister was bugging me to get on.

[gotunks]

"As a team," said Kyuzu as he nodded in synchronization with his words. He then went and grabbed his backpack and slowly began to put his belongings back in his backpack. He turned towards the others and smiled. Before, turning around he began to jog towards the parties camp.

He began to look around inside his bag for a certain item, but decided that it can wait. He then grabbed his book and sat by where the others had their stuff at. He slowly picked up the book about the Kyoudo. The Kyoudo then placed it in his backpack after slinging it off of his shoulders. He then stood up and gave the two teammates a thumbs up.

"We got a mission to do. On to Rain,"said Kyuzu as he began to walk towards the road, and noticed that they may have to go through the Grass border. Judging the team's overall abilities, the Kyoudo came to a startling discovery. That if the future of Cloud was based off of this team, it seems that Cloud had been really training the future.

Selina...Tieren...Thanks guys. I hope we can stay together longer and always be as close as friends now. Even till the day that we die.

[selina]

Selina hesitates only a moment and then jogs over to grab her own bag before proceeding to follow Kyuzu. Her heart is a bit elated to know that Kyuzu is back with them now. She falls in on Kyuzu's let along the path. That would leave Tieren the side closest to that river they are passing by.

Strangely, Selina has taken bathes and showers before, so why it is that Rivers, Rain, and large bodies of water in general make her so nervous, she just doesn't know why. Perhaps Nibi. Perhaps since they say that the fire cat is just that composed of fire.

She slips along close to Kyuzu, not wanting him to leave her behind as they head further in land to the Grass boarder, before they could probably camp for the night. That would be good.

[Tieren]

Watching the two of them gather their stuff together, Tieren bicks up his own stuff and looked up at the sky for a second. While he was looking up, he thought 'My team is whole again, and I hope it stays that way. Kyuzu, you are one of my greatest friends, and my rival, and that will never change. Selina, I havent known you for long, but you are one person that I feel I can get along with easily. You both are on my team, and we will help each other out so that we will keep it that way.'

He then looked up and saw them already on their way. Running off to go catch up with them, all Tieren could do was smile. This mission wasnt just about training, getting stronger, and performing a task for the village. This mission was one that was going to help strengthen the bond between the three teammates. Walking along the waters edge, he had a feeling that Selina wasnt enjoying the water all that much. 'Probably not the best thing to have gone to the rain country with someone who has a cat inside of her.' He thought while laughing in his head. Hey, what were friends for?

[gotunks]

Walking further away from the land of waterfall. You can still hear the waterfalls in a distance, sounding like a harmonic musical piece. As a hawk flies through the sky, Kyuzu looks up and smiles. Today had been one to remember. Bonds were formed and the unity of the team was one that will always be remembered.

As they continued towards the Grass border, there was nothing but strong gusts of wind, as there was a field of grass, almost dancing along with the tune of nature. Kyuzu saw this place as a very nice and calm area. Yet, he wasn't sure if this was a good idea to not have his team ready. He puts out a hand in front of them signaling them to stop. Continuing his focus ahead, he begins to take small steps forward turning around, he tells them the reason for telling them to hold up.

"We might have to be very careful. I want you Tieren to get in the front and use your clan's special ability and keep us updated on what's going on. Selina, watch our backs. I got you two covered if anything goes wrong in the middle," said Kyuzu as he grabbed a kunai from his holster spinning it around on his index finger bringing it to a stop, gripping the throwing knife and proceeding forward with much caution.

He was new to this part of the land, and much more. He heard stories of this place and all the other lands around him from his parents. There was something that the Kyoudo had finally decided he would need to do. He stopped once more, taking his back pack off his back and reaching deep within it, pulling out a shirt that had the symbol of his Kyoudo heritage out.

Taking off his previous upper body attire and stuffing it back into the bag. He placed this on. Looking forward and now wearing his trademark heritage clothing he felt that it was time for him to prove his worth and lead his team to a successful mission.

The path to Raikage was one that many would have to strive for. He was dedicated into becoming either the Raikage of the Cloud village or just a Sannin. The day of his birth was one that he couldn't remember, but the day of his abandonment by his family was one that hurt him the most. Now his focus was to get better and prove all the critics he had in his life wrong.

[selina]

Selina looks to Kyuzu's actions and does what is expected of her. She slips back on her heel back behind the boys which is her usual position in the ranks. Though a majority of what she knows is ninjutsu and genjutsu it is best not to take many chances. These two gents both know taijutsu better then she does. That makes it the two of them taking the front.

As she stops in the background for just a moment, her hand move briefly through some handsigns and she activates the Hell ears ability, gathering chakra into her ears so that she can tune in to all sounds around her. Kind of what a cat might hear, probably why she uses this ability as often as she does. The ability travels outward as she closes her eyes to concentrate. Complete concentration is always a must. She hears nothing out of the ordinary it seems. No one close by that might step in and interfer with them.

As her eyes open and the technique ends, Selina looks ahead to the boys she is teaming with. Tieren the former Raikage taking point. He is a great guy and all but a friend just the say. She knows that she can count on him in a pinch if the situation gets out of hand. Also there is Kyuzu. It feels strange for Selina to think that she actually confessed to loving someone like him. Always trying to prove himself and the desire for power is there. She sees that much as he moves along the path. The Nibi carrier also notices that he has changed shirts while she wasn't paying attention to him as she scanned the area with her sound technique.

A missed show.
Tsk, you're pathetic. Unbelieveable that you would allow yourself to be manipulated that damn much. Get a backbone now my little Jinchuurik. He will eventually walk away like everyone else. Or you will be forced to kill him.
I seriously hope you are wrong Nibi. I seriously do.
Ha ha ha, I'm not. You are on a thread now. You'll see it my way soon enough.

The raven haired demon carrier shakes off the momentary chat with the demon within herself and runs to catch up, returning to her position without making a sound.

[Tieren]

Hearing Kyuzu's orders, Tieren ran up to the front. When he was there, he started sending chakra to his eyes as he performed the Ram Handseal. "San-Da-Dee!" He said outloud as his eyes glowed a yellow color and he looked around for any sign of a pattern of pressure points. Not to mention, he could sense a pressure point system behind him, but only if he has seen it before. So he was able to see Kyuzu and Selina's pressure point system.

He somewhat wished he was back in the cloud village still with his master so that way he could keep training in his San-da-dee. He wanted to up his rank in Drijedo and his San-da-dee. He kinda wished that he had also worked on his San-Da-dee when he was back with his master, but he didnt have time. If they didnt reach anyone soon, he was probably going to get so bored.

Looking around, he didnt see any pressure points around, so he had a feeling he was safe. "Guys, I think we should just keep going and just get to Rain instead of stopping here in grass and training more. This odd calmness is something I dont like. I dont see anything right now, but I dont want to." He said to his team as he looked around. If he could, he would get his team to be able to ride along his staff, but that could take some time and he wasnt even sure if it would work.

[edit: Move to Grass]

[pandoru]

{Moved}

[gotunks]

Upon stepping his first foot into the Grassy plains that laid ahead of him. As he followed suit behind Tieren, who activated his kekkai genkai and in front of Selina who had her hells ears activated. He knew they would spot anything that tried to sneak up on them.

"That's what I am thinking. We can train on our way back from Rain. There's plenty of time for that. Right now I priority is getting to Rain," said the Kyoudo with a confident an demanding tone.

Looking around as Tieren felt the uneasy feeling that he was feeling as they continued through teh field of grass as the blades swayed gently with the wind's dancing movements. Almost dancing to the wind's gentle and soothing melody. He had his kunai ready in case anything would happen to them.

"Remember guys...get the scroll to Rain no matter what," said Kyuzu assuring his team that they will complete this mission no matter what. He was now showing the passion the team wanted out of him, before they left.

He felt almost complete wearing the Kyoudo's symbol on his back showing that he was a developing Kyoudo himself. Knowing what that one day he shall master this bloodlimit's abilities and then become well known in the Land of Thunder as a Sannin. That was his dream and now he was ready to get it. Thirsty though and it wasn't for a drink, there was something more satisfying beyond a hydrating liquid and that was power. Though he controlled that side fairly well. It would appear again, but when...the Kyoudo didn't care though. He knew what he had to do as of now and he was going to get it done.
