Whoever Enters Dies [O][DE]

[Moon]

Moon carried nothing but his own sword sheathed at his left side and the simple clothing common for his free-flowing style. He stood in an open swamp clearing a few hundred meters off the paths of any main roads - a route only certain types of travelers took.

He would look like an enormous dark skinned man, long white hair, a tail swishing impatiently behind him. His arms were folded across his chest, his off-color eyes flashing sinister in the late afternoon haze.

His goal was simple.



He was going to kill every single person he saw, until he died.

Shoko sighed for the third time today Shoko was supposed to be meeting up with an old relative from the Mizu no Kuni, but wasn't even surprised to find out he'd lost his way. The wind blew the ends of Shoko's cloak of protection as he traversed the murky swampland that he found his way into. Rather than cursing his luck, Shoko would try to find a way out of the predicament he had gotten himself into.

The hidden cloud genin was dressed in his usual attire. Shoko was dressed in a cloak of protection and white scarf, four half-pouches lined the interior, containing one slot of Hira shurikens and another of Bo shurikens. A quick loader pouch adorned him as well, concealing fifteen Northern Wind. His short sword was at his side, his Stormium heavy shield was strapped to his back. The boy's Kyuushi blade was also concealed in a sheath inside his battle cloak, he brought along his patrol pack where he had two whole explosive talisman slots inside, sixteen kunai, a multi-tool slot, one metal wire and fifteen smoke pellets. Apart from those he brought his medical pack along with a field cauterizer, a set of lock tags, a healer's gem and a gem of jutsu reflection.

From the corner of his eye, Shoko spotted the figure of a person. Ah, another person the young boy thought. Shoko would approach the figure in a friendly manner in order to ask him directions.

(OOC- Lord have mercy on Shoko's soul)

[Moon]

Upon a small human's approach Moon's eyes focused, and against his skin he saw the stranger as physical sensation, the touch of sometimes opaque, sometimes sharp-edged curves, the heavy mesh of fabrics, a cloak that felt something like his own. As if his own hands were passing meticulously over the stranger (a male, it seemed), absolutely bristling with weapons. It seemed likely he was either some sort of warrior or a merchant, perhaps forced to carry his own wares. Paranoia told him it was likely a shinobi, but he did not have enough information.

He needed items. If the human was a merchant, this would be fortuitous.

In the brisk wind accompanying the human's approach his battle cloak was blown open a bit, revealing the feeling of a sheathed sword to Moon's overlapping senses. This one is probably special. Moon thought to himself, not yet moving, allowing the boy to see him, to change direction, to seek him out. His observation was interrupted only by what seemed like a much closer - within just five meters of Moon, directly in front of him - and also much friendlier approach.

Though the odd boy didn't speak, Moon would.

"Are you a merchant?"

As the words were spoken, Moon took his first and final action and moved the rest of his body, shifting the distribution of weight to his feet, knee slightly bent. Both hands flowed nonchalantly into the movement as well, relaxed into it, the right hand around Paper Swan's handle, the left at his hip, his shoulders relaxed.

As Shoko approached he would finally take in the appearance of the stranger; he seemed to be a quite tall dark-skinned man, snow-white hair flowing like a cape in the wind's gentle breeze.

"Are you a travelling merchant?"

Shoko paused, he didn't really expect the question at all. Shoko realised that his shinobi head protector was inside his bag, meaning there was no way for the stranger to come out with an outright conclusion of whom he may be.

"Nay, I am just a well-equipped traveller who seems to have gotten himself lost within this marshland and needs some help finding the proper roads"

Shoko didn't want to immediately reveal his outright status as a shinobi, nor did he wish to lie and play along with whatever the man was saying. After all, he just wanted reasonable directions.

[Nira]

Pausing Shoko.

[Moon]

"Nay, I---"

Moon's sword would be pulled from its sheathe in that instant, cutting the human's response as his sword Paper Swan cut through the air. As the length of the blade was freed from its sheathe, its upward motion - aimed as if vertically bisecting the middle of the boy's body - seemed to twitch forward a spasm of space itself, compressing the air. From its edge a semi-visible crescent shape is rapidly launched, the slash and the projectile itself like one thing. The moving crescent will eat the negligible five meter distance between them at frightening speed, its goal to slash the male in half for the crime of not being a merchant.


As the sword silently lowered from the abrupt violence of the attack it was sheathed in the same instant back at moons side, and with his eyes closely feeling any response the human might make, his posture lengthened, his weight now even, his grip near the tsuba. His soul stirred at the thrill of battle, and he took note of the area a few meters to the left of where the boy currently stood to receive his blade.

(OOC- Hey moon. Sorry for the delay and everything but I was actually supposed to post a few minutes after your last one. however, as I submitted the post my internet cut-off and the post was lost completely. It was a six paragraph post so inevitably I cried myself to sleep. I've woken up now and I've tried to put together this decent yet quite half-assed version of the original post.)

Move, NOW!


Shoko heard the faint words of warning that his Kyuushi spoke inside his the labyrinth that was his mind. The invisible whispers alerted Shoko to the mysterious man’s sword being drawn in a swift action. The blade broke upwards from its sheath without delay, in a swift vertical movement, slicing away every inch of wind resistance there was. Shoko could’ve marvelled at the speed if his life wasn’t under mortal danger. The longsword manipulated the air around it into a crescent moon-like shape, compressing it to give a lethal edge as the wind soared through the sky towards Shoko, it’s intent to grievously harm.

Instincts kicking in, Shoko twisted his body, pivoting on his right foot as he took advantage of its thin girth. The fatal wind whizzed past Shoko’s fast, kicking up his hair and causing him to blink repeatedly. Shoko turned back to face the man who had now become his enemy. Wide-eyed and a bit desperate, the boy looked to the stranger for an explanation, or at least some reprieve. But none came, Shoko swallowed up his inhibitions and faced his foe.

The boy quickly slung his Stormium heavy shield from his back and faced his opponent with a renewed sense of vigour. Shoko needn’t know why the man wanted to harm him so, he only needed to keep in mind that he wouldn’t allow the man to have what he was looking for in him; whether his gear or his life.

[Moon]

Movement! As the ball of the humans foot twists, as its leg muscles scream, as the human begins his pivot and the giant demon dragon can feel it happen - Moon is, suddenly, in the area he'd taken note of while monitoring the boy's reactions. A few meters to the left of where the human stood (your right, 2m) and coinciding with the direction you must face to dodge the projectile successfully while pivoting on your right foot, Moon's stirred soul swayed imperceptibly, and then simply was. In timing with the boy's right foot pivot and coinciding with the direction you must face to successfully dodge the Disaster Harbor Bird, a grip nearer to the tsuba and a single step forward to close the remaining distance would allow Moon a horizontal slash, a flash, a blinding light of blade. It occurs as the human blinks, when his vision is most negatively impacted from readjustment, aimed to rip across his eyes.

Due to the difference in height between he and his target, the subsequent angle correction he was forced to make just after closing in, and the action of keeping his own tail out of the way of his legs by keeping it curled to his right side with the tip pointed towards you, Moon can only effectively hit your left eye; though horizontal from the vantage point of his hands it is downward and slightly diagonal in terms of its position relative to you.


However, even if the blinding flash can only take one eye - Moon's sword has not finished, flashing twice in opposing directions, a non-blinding but still painful set of slashes that brought it closer to its home at his side. He'd take a step behind the human near instantaneously after this without moving his tail, unleash his wings in a rapid unfurling, almost hugging the boy's right upper-arm/shoulder tightly with the nearest (right) flight-limb, and then sheathe his blade forcefully, chakra flaring.

A pause after to survey the new scene, gathering his fighting vigor, aware of all.

Within the blink of an eye, the figure of the unknown assailant would appear where Shoko had faced. The boy took a step back as the man took a step forward, but a blinding flash would disorientate him. But as his enemy attacked to descend upon that weakness, Shoko would successfully utilise his stormium shield in blocking the harmful advance. CLASH! The blade and the shield met and sparks met in a fury of steel.

It was due to the fact Shoko wasn't liking this close-quarter combat (being a ninjutsu master) that he had to result to other means of separating himself from the attacker. Shoko deftly retrieved a smoke-bomb from one of his quick-loader pouches. The little smoke bomb hit the floor, cracking upon impact. The thick and relentless mist of smoke burst out from it, obscuring everything in the immediate area.

Leaping out of the dense smoke fog, Shoko realised he had to take the offensive against an unreasonable yet skilled opponent such as this. In a swift and single movement, Shoko flung out a “special shuriken” into the mist. This shuriken had been stuffed with a explosive tag before hand and was ready to do some damage. Not lowering his guard for a second, Shoko immediately followed up with a single handseal.

The result was an impeccable explosion. The smoke itself was blown away by a powerful explosion that rocked the marshland itself, the force of the detonation was enough to possibly knock Shoko off balance. But as the raging conflagration spread, Shoko was sure-footed enough to not even be moved an inch. Shoko’s guard wasn’t even let down by a centimetre as he watched the embers for movement; at this point he was ready for anything.

[Moon]

Moon gets hit in the head with the human's special shuriken, which explodes, killing him instantly.
