A new day was on the Horizon. The young boy would lift from his bed. He could hear the other boy downstairs. Baking away in their kitchen. Kaze, or something... That was his name. None the less, he was still a stranger to Byouki. The boy, would slide out of the bed. Quickly, beginning to dress. Pulling on his Jacket, to protect him from the rain. Followed by his Capri's, and Ninja Sandals! He was ready to go... All he had to do now, was sneak passed Kaze. Then, he would be home free. Well, forest bound. He was in his home, already.

The boy would let out a small cough. Holding his hand over his mouth, as he cough into it. Containing it from spreading amongst the room. Though, nobody else would catch it. It was a disease. It took a brief while, though it would eventually subside. Slowly, he would creep down the stairs. Slipping by Kaze, without a word. Out the front door and off toward the Village gate. The boy raised his eyes, looking at the tall buildings... For some reason, he rather liked the tall buildings. It made the village seem all the more bigger.

Finally, he had made it to the country side, surrounding the village. The sky was quite beautiful, a dull Grey. Clouds scatter across it, pouring down a flow of rain from the heavens. It was quite lovely. The boy lifted his hood for a moment. As he raised a book to his nose. Quietly, beginning to read through it. The child's fingers would glide across the pages. Flipping through a couple. As he went over several different Earth Elemental NinJutsu. "Hm... This one will do." He stated, softly.

Taking in a deep breath, he began to cover the NinJutsu. "Ishikyojin Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Stone Golem Summoning)." The boy paused for a moment. "The user gains the capability of understanding, and creating an amount of Golem like stone creatures to fight forth against on coming opponents." Reading the effect, was quite exciting. He couldn't wait to summon a Stone Golem. It would come out of the ground and do his bidding... That sounded pretty useful. Considering that he was a weak hand-to-hand fighter. It would certainly come in handy.

His eyes would continue to gaze over the page. Reading through the information that was provided by the book. "Because.. I'm a D-Rank Ninja. My Golem will be weaker. I have to perform the NinJutsu differently then other C-Rank or Higher Ninja." The boy let out a soft sigh. So far, it would appear that his golem was going to be quite small. Not to mention, he would have to keep his hands on the ground at all times. But, what could he do? The boy needed more protection and a decent melee fighter. If he caught in an opponents TaiJutsu, it would be the end for him. Without a doubt.

The boy's eyes would continue to wander down the page. Reading over it, quietly. "Hm.. Let's see... The user creates a few handseals as they slam their hands down against the ground. Doing so the user is capable of creating a Giant Golem made out of stone at the size of four meters high. The golems are slow, but extremly resourceful against TaiJutsu like attacks." With that in mind. The boy thought, he was atleast ready to give it a try. If it failed, he would simply try again until it worked.

With the basic understandings of Ishikyojin Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Stone Golem Summoning) NinJutsu. Young Byouki would close the book. Closing the pages shut, he would reach backward. Stuffing the small paper back booklet into the back pocket of his Capri's. The small book would rest securely against the curve of his bottom. Another cough, came bellowing from his throat. Quickly, he came to cover his mouth. Coughing into it, lightly. Turning his head, as if someone we're around. It had become a habit, not much he could do about it. An onslaught of smaller coughs, would push up out his throat. Until, he took in a sharp breath and pushed those coughs back down.

The boy paused for a moment. Slowly, beginning to take in another deep breath. Then, release a soft exhale. As he did so, he was beginning to slowly regain his composure. It took only a short while, though he had settled back down. With a small sigh, he would take in another breath. It would appear, as he grew older. His sickness was becoming more of a problem. The boy let out a small chuckle of laughter. At this rate, he wouldn't to be very old. He would probably die before his older brother. It would seem, his brother would win a battle of Siblings, once more. Though, he quickly pushed the thought out of his mind. If he wished to survive in battle. He would have to continue learn new techniques and pushed forward.

The soft rustle of leaves, pushed outward from beneath his feet. As those slender sandals rolled through the mood. Smudging the mud, out on either side of his sandal. Pressure came to settle upon his knees, as each joint bent forward. Supporting his upper body weight. A rather heavy breath, pushed upward from his throat. Pouring out between his lips and nostrils. As his arms came to lift from his sides. Drawing his hands close to the center of his chest. His palms flat against one another. As his mind, adventured onward. His conscience thoughts would settle upon the earth. Concentrating on the release of earth. The ground, dirt, and rocks.

Young Byouki began to mold chakra. The energy rolled through his body. Starting at his feet, it rolled up the veins buried within his legs. He could feel the warmth of the energy roll over his muscles. Spreading an undeniable good feeling of warmth. This was the sole energy of his technique. The boy was able to become a Shinobi, because he could mold chakra. Soon, chakra began to gather at his finger tips. Slowly, beginning to roll downward into the palms of his hands. Sliding further down into his forearm. Eventually, it met with the chakra that had gather at his feet. The two forces would gather at the center of his being.

Chakra would swirl and collide with another in the center of his chest. The chakra swirled and coat his heart in warmth. A heavy breath of air, would expel from his lungs. As he drew in another breath of air. It filled his lungs, pouring in from his open mouth and nostrils. Byouki would continue to gather chakra from the points of his body. It was going to be his first time using this NinJutsu. He wasn't exactly very good at using NinJutsu, he didn't know for sure.. How much chakra he would have to use to use Ishikyojin Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Stone Golem Summoning). Though, that wouldn't stop him. He would give it his best shot. Even if it failed, that would be progress.

In came a thick inhale of air. It filled his nostrils and pushed down his throat into his lungs. The chakra would continue to twist and swirl in the center of his chest. Slowly, he came to lower down onto one knee. Preforming the select Handseals. Pressing his knee into the earth below. While, his hands lifted from his chest. Raising into the air, near his head. Byouki allowed a small exhale to push outward between his lips. As the chakra began to move within his body. The warmth began to spread up the length of his arms, once more. Slowly, moving through his veins and into the palms of both of his hands.

With a swift movement. The muscles in his arms, would flex. Tightening up, as his hands came whirling down through the air. Young Byouki's palms would smash against the earth, below. The chakra that swirl within each palm would expel from his body. Pushing downward into the earth. As rocks began to form beneath the surface of the earth. The flow of chakra would not end, it kept a steady pace. As it pushed downward into the earth. Forming more rocks, using the Rock Creation technique. The boy's eyes fell shut, as he continued to feed his chakra into the earth. The chakra swirl and push around within the earth.

Eventually, enough rocks had been created. Resulting in the formation of a creature. The rocks began to move beneath the earth. Chakra drawing the rocks into a humanoid figure. The various rocks, had become coated in the boy's chakra. Resulting in the final creation. By coating the outer layer of a rock in chakra. He was able to attach rocks to one another. The Earth beneath his feet began to rumble. The trees in the surrounding area began to tremble. Leaves pouring down from the branches. Dropping onto the earth, below. A heavy breath pushed passed his lips.

Before the child's eyes, an rupture in the earth's surface. Dirt and filth began to push out to left and right of a certain point in the soil. Slowly, a large rock arm would reach from out beneath the ground. Grasping the earth, using it lift itself from the depths of it's earthly prison. A sound unlike any other would bring pain to the boy's ears. Boulders and rocks, rub together in a disgusting sound. A grinding unlike any other. Byouki couldn't move from his place. He held his hands firmly planted into the earth. As the Golem would continue to claw it's self from the earth.

That stone would dig into the earth, pushing up dirt and filth around it's weight. As it lifted completely out of the earth. There it stood, in all of it's glory. A large stone golem. It's height reached the peak of four meters. It's movements were incredibly slow. None the less, it was a golem... Byouki would lavish a beautiful smile. Quite proud of himself! Slowly, he would skitter across the ground. Dragging his palms along the surface of the Earth, as he moved closer to the golem. Taking a closer look at it. It certainly was made of stone, no doubt about that!

The boy would raise one leg from the ground. Pushing his foot outward against the rock. Giving it a nudge with his foot. Testing the durability of the rock. Packing his strength into one of his kicks. Byouki would give it a nice firm kick. It wasn't soon after that, had he realized... That was a terrible idea! Pain surged forth through his foot. Causing the boy to release a terrible cry. As he rolled over onto the ground. Lifting his hands from the ground. The golem would instantly crumble and fall into a pile of rocks.

Byouki would let out a loud sigh. As he reached down and rubbed his shin, a bit... Certainly, he was not a user of Taijustu, but that hurt... That golem would make a good shield..

"Son of a bitch..." He huffed.

After a while, his shin would stop hurting. It took quite a bit of rubbing, of course. None the less, It stopped. Now, he would try it, again. This would be the last of time he had to practice, hopefully.... Slowly, Byouki raised into position. One knee planted into the earth. One foot upon the earth, in a kneeling position. As he raised his hands to the center of his body. Beginning to perform a set of handseals. Drawing chakra from the center of his body. Into his hands. Quickly, slamming those hands into the ground beneath. Pushing it downward into the earth.

The loud sound of grinding stone would conjure up, once more. Stones cracking against one another. As they would form the humanoid figure. The large beast of a golem, raised from the earth. Standing before the boy, once more. A large magnificent beast of stone. With that, he would lift his hands. Allowing the beast to crumble into a pile of rocks, once more.

Doton: Tamaishi Danmaku (Earth Element: Pebble Barrage)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A simple technique used as a distraction in which the user uses a few hand seals concentrating along the chakra towards the ground. Doing so the user takes the chakra and the rocks as they use the simple knowledge of the Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) to push forth sending multiple small grape sized like pebbles towards the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Depending of the rank the user knows of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) depends on how much pebbles the user is capable of pushing forth.
Description: Small like stones is created along the ground in pebble like form as they are pushed up along the ground and sent flying towards the very enemy or enemies depending on the type of distance the enemy or where the enemy is standing. This type of attack is somewhat of a basic like attack and is to be considered more of an annoyance when first learned by the basic form of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique). When the user gains rank as well as Difficulty class of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) the technique of Doton: Tamaishi Danmaku (Earth Element: Pebble Barrage) becomes even more grand and more dangerous.

Byouki would let out a small sigh, having been able to complete his training on the Ishikyojin Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Stone Golem Summoning). It was quite a lot of hard work. Especially, after having been able to do it. But, do it over again just to complete it! He wasn't complaining or anything... But, boy did that suck. With that out of the way. It was time to move onto a new NinJutsu. Quietly, he would retrieve that small booklet from his pouch. Flipping it open, at random. With his luck, he found an easy one. Hopefully, this one would learned much quicker then Ishikyojin Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Stone Golem Summoning).

The boy eyed the NinJutsu for a moment. Reading into the effect. Using the Rock Creation Technique. One may create several pebbles on the ground. Then, use them to hurl at the enemy. At weaker stages of this Ninjutsu. It's meant only at annoyance. Though, if you continue to train in Rock Creation. This technique could become quite dangerous. It sounded quite decent. Now, it was time to give it a shot. The boy closed the booklet. Reaching backward and stuffing it back into his pouch. With a gentle sigh, he would prepair himself for trying this new Jutsu.

With his feet planted into the ground. The boy took in a deep breath. Lifting his arms, slowly. Drawing his palms forward into his chest. He would exhale, heavily. Pressing both of his palms together. Flat at first. As he began to breath in and out, at a steady pace. As he did every time he was going to learn a new Jutsu. The joints in his knees, would bend. As his height dropped, slightly. Resting all of his weight into his knees. Supporting his upper body weight. The boy began to gather his chakra, once more. Pulling it from the various points of his body. Toward his chest to mold and become one source of energy.

Byouki's hands fell flat. One on top of the other. As he began to preform hand seals. One after another, as he began to focus on the Earth Release. The chakra would push outward out of his feet. Into the earth. As he formed the hand seals. Small pieces of earth began to push up out from beneath the surface. Forming small harden balls upon the surface. Becoming small pebbles. As if, time flew by and the dirt had hardened into rock. Byouki would expel a soft breath from his lungs. As the earth continued to form small pebbles, becoming ammo for his Ninjutsu.

"Here we go..." He huffed, lightly.

Slowly, each and every little pebble began to lift from the surface of the earth. Rising into the air, in front of the young boy. Byouki held his concentration. As the hand seals came to an end. The small wall of pebbles would shoot off directly in front of him. Flying through the air, at a fast pace. Only to smack against the trunk of a near-by tree. The pebbles bounced off the trunk and fell to the earth, once more. The boy would need a lot of practice, if this were going to be a dangerous move. Small bits of bark fell from the tree, though it had done very little damage.

Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: Effective striking with the weapons of the body to the opponent’s vital points is essential for a victorious outcome in a hand-to-hand struggle. A ninja must be able to employ the principles of effective striking if he is to emerge as the survivor in a fight to the death. Strikes should be targeted at the opponent’s vital points and nerve motor points. Strikes to nerve motor points cause temporary mental stunning and muscle motor dysfunction to the affected areas of the body. Mental stunning results when the brain is momentarily disoriented by over stimulation from too much input—for example, a strike to a major nerve. The stunning completely disables an opponent for three to seven seconds and allows the ninja to finish off the opponent, gain total control of the situation, or make his escape. Sometimes, such a strike causes unconsciousness. A successful strike to a nerve motor center also render the affected body part immovable by causing muscle spasms and dysfunction due to nerve overload.
Limit: Must be Yellow Belt Krav Maga

Another day was on the horizon. The boy, lift from the bed. Raising his arms into the air, he stretched out his muscles. Today, he would be learning the principles of Krav Maga. It was the art of Dirty Fighting. Byouki was a rather weak fighter. In order to strengthen himself as a Ninja. He would have to learn to defeat an oppent at close range, at any cost. With a gentle, sigh. The boy would roll out of the bed, with a gentle thump. Quietly, pulling on a new set of clean clothing. So, that he could join the other students at the dojo.

After changing and leaving. Byouki would arrive at the Dojo, moments later. The boy was brought inside, by other students. Then, dressed out with the other. They were given a simple black Gi and a level 1 Yellow belt. The boy tied it about his waist. Knotting the front, just like the other students had. They were lead into a large room. Where they would sit upon their knees. Now, facing a former Anbu member. This man, had become the leader of the Dojo after retiring from the Kage's service.

"Today... I will be teaching all of you about Striking Principles"

At that point, the man had rolled out a large scroll. Pinning up to the wall, so that everyone may see. With a long stick like object. The man began to point out vital area's of the Human Body. His voice was rather deep, yet hold a certain tone of aggressiveness in it. It kept all of the students awake and paying attention. After all, they didn't want to be killed by this man. They had their share of stories.

"Effective striking with the weapons of the body to the opponent’s vital points is essential for a victorious outcome in a hand-to-hand struggle."

He would continue. The man would begin to point to each vital point of the humans body. Explaining the different outcomes of striking this point on the body. If the user was able to strike various parts of the body in a succession. The victim would loose complete function of the targeted body part.

"When you're done here... You'll be able to surrive a battle.. At any cost."

With that, the class had ended. The students were instructed to leave and come back the following day to continue their lessons. It appeared, today was only an introduction into the course.

The sound of rain, it was a beautiful sound. A sound that Byouki heard almost everyday of his waking life. It was enough to keep a smile upon his face. The soft taps upon his window, the blurred image that reside in that window. As the boy lift from his position in the bed. He would turn to look out the window. The image was distorted and blurry, caused by the rain. The boy's eyes would roll over the image. Looking outside at the Grey sky. It was filled with dark brooding clouds. Their dark appearance was enough to make the happiest person, sad. Though, not Byouki.

Today, he would learn more about himself and his family. A low-class Samurai family. His childhood had been grand, yet always tortured by his older brother. Never seen as a man, by his father. It was all a rather troublesome. One that appeared to be out of the boy's control. Born with an illness, he was considered weak. Yet, he did posses knowledge. A trait that his mother was quite fond of. Her little Brain, she always said. As her fingers rolled through the dark locks upon his head. A very kind woman, she acknowledged his existence.

Quietly, he would slide to the edge of his bead. Raising from his bed, quietly making his way into the bathroom. Where he would bathe, brush his teeth, and prepare for the day ahead of him. Once, he had found himself in his clothing. The boy would stretch out, a bit. Releasing a loud and lonesome yawn. Byouki didn't like to go back home. In fact, he preferred his life here. Staying with his older brother, Nagaku. He didn't even mind Kaze's presence. Even though Kaze stalked his older brother and Nagaku was very mean to him... It didn't matter.

Byouki stepped down the stairs, quietly. Each padded tap, lead him closer to the door. The boy stopped at the door for a moment. As he reached down and took an umbrella from beside the front door. Twisting the knob, opening the door. He reached his arm out the door. Extending the Umbrella's shade. As he walked outside, he would lift the umbrella over his head. Allowing the rain to fall upon it. Each droplet made a loud tapping noise against the Umbrella. Yet, each drop rolled off to the side, avoiding his body. Umbrella's we're quite nice.

It was a distance, toward his Mother and Father's home. So, he had brought along something to read. A book, a small one. In fact, wherever Byouki went. People would see the boy with a book. Usually, with his nose buried in it. Though, this one had been a book upon his Clan. It was book about the Nara. In it, were a list of Techniques, that the Nara were able to learn. Byouki knew that Nagaku was very knowledgeable, when it came to their clan Jutsu... Though, Nagaku just seemed to tease him all the time. Byouki wasn't an equal.. Just a hiderence and a burden.

[Byouki Nara]

??/30

Rain would continue to fall upon the young boy. It never let up, dropping onto his Umbrella. Though, it was soothing sound for Byouki. It helped him concentrate. With the stem of the Umbrella in his left hand. Resting upon his shoulder. The boy held open the small book, with his right. His index finger would roll between the pages. Flipping each page, as he took a step toward his old home. There were quite a few Jutsu in the Nara Clan. Determining which one would be useful in battle, was quite difficult. Byouki wouldn't be able to learn all of them. Even as a Shinobi, he desired to live his life. Instead of living his job.

The child's eyes seem to settle upon NinJutsu, in particular. It appeared, that it would indeed help him combat. With a soft smile, his tongue rolled outward between his lips. Rolling across the slender and thin pink lips. Coating each lip in a small film of saliva. "Kage Hebi Dageki no Jutsu (Shadow Serpent Strike)" He read, aloud. The boy's voice was quite soft. Very feminine in tone. It must've been years of time spent with his Mother. Yet, another reason his father hadn't taken a particular liking to him. Byouki appeared to be more Feminine then the other boys.

Those soft blue eyes would roll across the text upon the page. Absorbing every letter, making each letter form a word. As it filled his mind with thoughts. "After using the handseals, the user of the jutsu extends his hand and tendrils of shadow, appearing to be snakes, shoot out of their hand straight at a foe." Within his mind, he could picture himself doing it. Extending his arm, out toward the enemy. As tendrils pour out from the sleeve of his jacket. Wrapping around his hand, before darting out toward the opponent. It was quite a wonderful thought... But, could he actually do it? It seemed to much like a simple fantasy thought.

As the boy turned the corner, he would continue to read further into the book. "Using four seals in quick succession the Nara clan member shoots his hand forward. Shadowy serpents fly from his hand wrapping around the foe and constricting them. Upon first strike the shadows seem to bruise their foe causing little damage, but over time the constricting can cause crushing of bones and damaging of internal organs. If the jutsu is not released it can cause death from suffocation." He read out loud to himself. Each word that bubble from his throat, would enter his mind and embed itself, permantly. Absorbing the description and effects was another form of learning for Byouki.

Each step brought him closer and closer to the Home. Soon, he would arrive. Standing before a large home. It was nothing special, yet appeared to be larger then the common folk's homes. It was his family's home. A low-class Samurai family... The boy slid open the front door. Taking a step inside, he would turn and close his Umbrella. Drawing the wet tool into the home. Where, he would place it beside the door. Where another large amount of Umbrella's had formed. The boy was greeted by his father.. It was but a small nod in his direction. Byouki would smile, softly. Bowing his head to the older man.

[Byouki Nara]

The older man would glance upon the boy. Without a word, he turn his back. Walking off toward a sitting room. Byouki would let a soft sigh, as he lowered his head. Quietly, he would follow his father. The man lead his son, in a large and expansive room. It was an area, specifically for his Father. The man, would take his seat. Byouki would lower onto his knees in front of the man. With his head, pressed forward onto the floor. Showing his respect, toward his honorable father. The man would simply grunt.

"Father.. I have come for Training. I wish for you teach me a Jutsu."

The older man, would release another sound. It was that of annoyance. A soft sigh. Byouki would sigh on the inside, he couldn't do it aloud. Or else, he would be beaten. Yet, he always hated coming here. Living in his brother's shadow, was quite bothersome. The man, would lift onto his feet. Drawing forth his hands, as he began to create handseals. -Dragon, Ox, Tiger, Dragon. Then, his arm shot outward. Tendrils would extend from his sleeve. Shooting outward toward the child. Wrapping tightly around his body.

"This is the only decent NinJutsu. You can learn at your level."

The man, huffed. As Byouki fell over onto his left side. Letting out a small cry of pain. As those dark snakes, curl and squeeze around his body. The boy's frame was quite weak. Each squeeze, felt two times as worse for him. Of course, the man would release the boy from his NinJutsu. What would he obtain by suffocating a weakling? The child rolled back over onto his knees, bowing greatly before his father. His head, pressed firmly into the floor. As the man hover over his small body.

"Thank you, Father..."

He whisper, beneath soft pants. Slowly, Byouki would rise onto his feet. Standing in front of his father. As they began to go over the handseals needed to preform this NinJutsu. The man hadn't gone into specifics. Because, even if they were not close. He knew, Byouki had already gone over them. First, his father would preform the desired handseals. Next, Byouki would follow. Until, the both preformed -Dragon, Ox, Tiger, Dragon, at the same time. At this point, his father raised his arm. As those snakes came whirling out again. This time, Byouki was quick to dodge...

He did not wish to fall prey to such a painful NinJutsu again. Now, it was Byouki's turn to try. The boy would raise his hands toward his chest. As he took in a deep breath. As chakra began to fill his frame. Gathering at his chest, molding into a usable source of energy. While, his fingers began to move. -Dragon, Ox, Tiger, Dragon Then, his right arm lifted. As two thick tendrils rolled outward from his sleeve. Shadow snakes, curl around his arm. Before, launching off it like a catapult. Shooting outward and hitting the wall. Only to disappear as fast they had appeared...

"Thank you, Father..."

The boy said, lightly. As he gave the man, one final bow. Stepping backward, without turning away. Until, he was in the center of the room. The child turned on the ball of his foot. Then, left the room. Closing the door behind him. As he stopped in the hallway. Letting out a very soft sigh... That had went better then expected. Of course, he would practice this more at home... In the comfort of his lonesome. Thank goodness, for that...

(Woo, hopefully that will make 300... Then, that'll be 300 TP in about a week in a half... I'm on a quick path to Chuunin! -Note: Must talk Big Brother into doing Missions. )

The front door of the scanty lower-class Home, would open. Byouki stepped out into the Rain. Raising the Umbrella over his head, once more. With a small smile, he would begin his journey home. Walking upon the wet pavement of the street below. The boy's feet would shuffle, in an excited manor. Having learned a new technique from his father. Byouki had become eager to use it in some manor. Be it in battle, or for practice. The boy's sandals pressed downward into the pavement. Making a small sound, with each step.

Soon, he found himself in a large and open area of the Village. His excitement was quickly getting the better of him. As he move beneath the cover of a near by terrace. The boy would place the Umbrella against the wall. Balancing it perfectly, so it may stand upright. Slowly, his hands came forward. Slowly, moving to settle in the center of his body. Beginning to form a select set of handseals. -Dragon, Ox, Tiger, Dragon. Byouki raised his arm, lifting to point directly out in front of him.

Two thick tendrils, came curling out his sleeve. Wrapping around his arm, before shooting off into the distance. The boy's shadow snakes, caught a shop keeper's sign. Quickly, wrapping around the length of the sign. Beginning to squeeze and constrict around the sign. Slowly, becoming tighter and tighter, as each moment of the day passed on. If that been a human, certainly it would have crushed their body by now... Byouki found himself rather pleased with the results. Soon, the shadow serpents would fade.

Byouki lavish a small smile, as he turn upon the ball of his foot. Walking away from the scene. In the background, he could hear the light crash of an object smashing against the ground. The boy, looked over his shoulder. Noticing the sign had fallen from it's position near the roof. Dropping onto the ground, where it smash in several pieces. With a small sigh, he quickly turned back around on his heel, making a quick stride away from the area.. He certainly didn't have the money to cover that! The boy would laugh a couple of times. As he heard the distant yelling of an angry man.

At that point, he was quick to quicken his stride. Bursting into a full out run. He would make his way home. Slipping about the wet pavement. As he slid in through the front door... Where, he found Kaze in the kitchen. The boy stopped for a moment... A devious smile upon his face. As he quickly brought his hands forward into his chest. Beginning to perform a set of handseals. -Dragon, Ox, Tiger, Dragon. The extended his arm outward, shooting a barrage of black snakes toward the other. Those snakes would grasp upon his body. Twisting around from the feet up, then squeeze.

Kaze let out an awkward help, then Byouki released him. "Mission Accomplished!" He laughed. Quickly, running back up to his bedroom. Where, he flopped onto the bed. Bursting into laugh, loud enough so Kaze could hear from downstairs.
