Journy back to sound.

[Taiyoukaen Kassei]

As Kassei walked away and left the group he headed into the village when in the village he checked around but it appears that the last time anyone has seen renji was when he came there with Kassei. "That damn brat lied to me." He then headed out of the village and was on his way back to sound. His face was almost drowned in sorrow

(OOc: Do not feel like typing much right now)

[Sho]

A small kid that was battling with the other walked behind kassei with a small smirk on his face. He then speed up till he was next to Kassei. "Yo," The boy would sppek in a carless voice "where you going?" Ichigos hands behind his head almost ready to sleep as he walked.

[Taiyoukaen Kassei]

The sudden "Yo" starttled Kassei from his sorrow of not being able to find his friend. He looked down to see a seven year old boy standing there. "Uh hi there." He said looking down in a questionable voice. "Me?" He said looking around to see if there was anyone else. "Um well im going back to sound. Thats my new village. Why do you want to?" Kassei said has he stopped walking and looked back to the village of cloud to that rested in the setting suns orange light. A slight breeze swept acrosse the grass and dirt road that they were on. He then turned back and began to walk again towards the forest.

[Sho]

Ichigo would follow Kassei "I am coming with you, Cool? Aight. This place around here is boring, Names Ichigo Hyuuga Son of Shiriha Hyuuga and Uchiha Teramune." Ichigo would keep up with Kassei yawning slightly before craking his neck. The young boy was lazy anyone could see it in his eyes.

[Taiyoukaen Kassei]

"Look kid... I have no reason for a little brat to be walking around with me got it. Besides your not even a ninja...and as for your parents, never heard of them." Kassei said as he increased his speed a little bit. He then turned around to see if the little boy was crying. If he was then Kassei would just leave him behind and jump into the trees, if not then he would be glade and he might consider letting him tag along.

[Sho]

Ichigo would turn his head and shit to kasseis other side before runnign behind him. Kassei would look back to see nothing and when he did Ichigo would smack him in the back of the head. Ichigo would then travel at a steady pace behind Kassei not to let him get away. "So whats your name?" Ichigo would ask.

[Taiyoukaen Kassei]

Kassei felt a hit to the back of his head, it was very light and it didn't even hurt. "Kid If you want to fight then maybe you should go and find someone else 'cause I ain't in the mood!" He said angrily to Ichigo. "Hmph like your worthy enough to know my name...and even if you did no it, it wouldn't mean were friends." Kassei said as he crossed his arms. As the sun went down the area around them became darker and colder then before. Kassei felt his fatiuqe catch up to him and he let out a yawn. "Well continue on if you want but im gonna camp here." He said going over to a tree and sitting down in front of it.

[Sho]

Ichigo slowed to a stop behind Kassei before mumbiling "Grumpy old man." Ichigo would then smile before leanign next to a tree and saying "I dont know where to go so i gotta wait for you and if you leave me i will hunt you down and kill you." Ichigos threat emotionless as ever. Ichigo then was perched up against the tree as he waited for kasseis reply.

[Taiyoukaen Kassei]

"Well fine then little boy." Kassei said in an old man voice. "I'll let you tag along...and its not because im scared of you trying to kill me, its just that you cant kill an ant with the the biggest sword in the world okay. Anyway lets get a fire going. Go into the woulds and bring back some wood would you?" He said but he made it sound more like an order rather then a question. He then took Tetsu off of his back and laid him down next to his left side. He then leaned up against the tree and looked up into this sky and then closed his eyes.

[Sho]

Ichigo would go out into the woods mocking Kassei out of bordom and return with some wood and place it nex to kassei befre going out not to far from kassei and digging a foot with his shoe. He would then place all the wood there but one stick and smile before throwing the last stick at the man. "Light fire old man." He would say in emotionless voice before going and sittiing next to a tree. Ichigo was already half asleep like alwas.

[Taiyoukaen Kassei]

Kassei heard the boy come back with some wood. He opened up one eye to see what he was doing. Noticed that he was diggin in the ground with his foot and put the wood he had gathered there. "Hey im being lazy so how bout you light up the fi-" he was then interupted by Ichigo who threw a stick at him. Out of a pure ruthless instinct he put his hands together and then yelled out "Kaen ken!" His hand erupted into a six inch flame tha ingulfed his hand. He then jumped up and stuck out his hand and cut the stick into two. He streteched out his foot behind him and with the other one lunged out with half of his speed and held the flame close to the ground. He then hit the wood with the flame and that ignited into flame. He kept running but twisted his route and turned toward the kid. He then stuck out his hand only a few inches from the kids neck. As he slid to his stop dirt and dust flew up into the air. He stood there looking at Ichigo. "Like I said, you cant kill me brat."

[Sho]

Ichigo looked up at kassei with no emotion in his eyes at all. "So thats some good reflexs you got there old man." Ichigo siad as he stood up and walked over to his tree with no emotion in his eyes he knew that the man wouldn't kill him otherwise he would have already done it. Ichigo was calm and relaxed with a slight half smile on his face as he does off inot sleep.

[Taiyoukaen Kassei]

Kassei ended the jutsu and walked back over to his tree as well. He then sat down and closed his eyes. He listend to the crakling of the flame nearby and he fell asleep. While he was asleep he began to dream.

When he opened his eyes he was standing there and he saw himself looking into a mirror. "Your Worthless!" His mirror self said. "What?" Kassei said back. "You aren't strong enough to carry on the Taiyoukaen name. kassei clenched his fist tightly. "you don't even know how to make the kaen ken hotter do you!?!" "Shut up." "You're father found a way...but it killed him." "I SAID SHUT UP!" "Boy your father right now would be so disapointed." "GOD DAMN YOU SHUT UP!" Kassei yelled out in a harsh tone, his fingers digging into the skin of his palm making blood dribble out. "And you will never get anywhere with Ai. And your mom might have liked her too." "THATS IT YOU BASTARD!" As if on command black markings began to run down his arm until it became one whole that turned his arm black, then as if knowing the words Kassei yelled out "Kaen Ruy Nagarakyaiba!" And his arm erupted inot a black flame blade that streched out seven full feet from his hand. He then swung out at the image of himslef and cut it down. He then looked at the blade as it pointed down to the ground and saw that the ground was turning into hot liquid lava. "What is this." Kassei then opened his eyes and found himself sweating hard and then looked down to his hands where he saw blood coming out of it.

[Sho]

Ichigo fell asleep before hearing Kassei speaking in his sleep. Ichigo awoke just before snrise looking at kassei from a high tree branch before kassei awoke his hand bleeding. Ichigo would watch as kassei looked at his hand. Ichigo would jump down off of the tree branch as he said "Bd dream old man? Well we better get going." Ichigo would land and wait for Kasseis reaction.

[Taiyoukaen Kassei]

Kassei took his attention away from his hand. "yeah lets go." Kassei said as he stood up and put tetsu back on his back. He then brushed some of the dirt off of his butt and then walked over to the smoldering fire. He kicked it to make sure it was dead and sent some ash in the air. "We'd better hurry up Ichigo, I think there's a storm coming." Kassei said as he began to walk again.

After a few hours of walking he had made it to the boarder of cloud and were now entering fang. He then felt a raindrop come down on to his head, then another, then another, and finally it was just a down pour. Kassei didn't mind he had his cloak on so it wasn't to bad.

[Sho]

Ichigo would follow kassei closly before reaching the border of cloud. Ichigo owul then yawn before it started raining. Ichigos hair would fall down to his face and his cloths begin to become drenched. He would not care at all though but continue to follow him.

[Taiyoukaen Kassei]

As kassei came walking through the land of fang ,the rain still pouring heavily, he turned to back over to Ichigo. "He Ichigo its getting dark. lets stop for now and continue on tomarrow." Kassei said as he looked over and saw an old abandond shack. He ran toward it as his feet slpashed in the water puddles that was made in the rain. When he went under it he saw that it was old and musty. The walls were worn out and there seemed to be benches in here most likely for weary traverlers. He then sat down on a bench and took off his wet cloak and set it next to him. He then walked over to one of the other benches and began to tear it apart for wood for a small fire. He set up the would in a small fire hole that was in the middle. He then used the great fireball jutsu (on a small scale and made a cozy little fire, The warmth filled the room.

[Sho]

Ichigo would follow kassei his clothes now drinched he would remvoe his shirt before ringin it out and hanging it up to dry. Ichigo would then sit up against the nearby wall and begin to fall asleep.

[Taiyoukaen Kassei]

After kassei had made the small fire he laid back on the bench and put his hands behind his head. He then looked into the fire as he had the night before. "Damn I'm soooooo hungry...I can't wait till I get back to the estate and get something to eat." He said has he held his stomach. "Hey Ichigo have you ever been to sound before?"

[Sho]

Ichigo would here the fire start but he would not move or even look over towards the fire instead his head would begin to drift of to space as he said "Once when i was traveling with Shiro." Ichigo would then fall asleep.
