Takikage Tower (OPEN)

[The Asko]

Atuko shook her head slightly as Seijitsu asked if she had a better description. She had not seen the bandit in truth, but had written up some of these missions of reports from other ninja and civilians

"I do not have any more description than that as he has a habit of "avoiding" being seen. On where to find him, I doubt it will be hard. He has a habit of turning up for people who seek him, wander a bit and he'll find you." She waved her hand as he tried to hand the paper back.

"Keep it, not much of a reference, but paper always has its uses." she winked at him slightly. Giving hints about missions was always fun, especially when they seemed psychotic. Telling him that he could use paper against the ninja was unexpected, and something that he probably wouldn't listen to, but she had a habit of knowin more than she revealed. With that said she turned and looked at Itsuki as he entered.

"Itsuki-san! Good to see you again. How may I help you?" she said kindly. She still felt responsible for his loss of limb and the death of his comrades. It was a stupid mistake she had made, one that she would not make so easily again.

[seijitsu]

Seijitsu raised a brow when he heard Atuko say that he could use this paper in away ''what do you want me to do ...papercut him?...'' He said with a little pause in between but as she winked at him he could help but to give a smile and went towards the door with the paper in his right hand, but when he turned he noticed that there was a boy behind him and he only had one arm, Seijitsu wondered what happened to him but he didnt say anything he didnt know what to say, but after a few seconds the words '' i dont know what happened but im sorry for your loss'' just flopped out of his mouth and then continued to walk and left the building starting his mission right away.. but leaving a little good bye with his left eye closed and his tongue out smiling out, with his hand holding a peace sign ''see ya later '' he said closing the door afterwards...

[kuromeru]

As Kuromeru kept waiting and waiting untill she got an opening she suddenly saw a boy walking in, a boy with suprisingly only one arm. At the same time the other boy walked away and within the moment that the door closed and the kage directed her attention at the shinobi walking in, Kuro slammed both a kunai and a katana towards the Kage. The kunai would go in a fluent movement from her left side with her left hand, right into the kage's shoulder. It was placed carefully in the soft spot of her collarbone and right above her heart. If this one would hit the kage would have only six seconds to live. (Fact, dagger or something similar there will result death in 5 seconds) But as if that was not enough Kuromeru also thrusted the Katana in her right hand through Akuto's back. It would be placed, just above her rib-case and with a strong force it would be pushed up right through Akuto's neck and end up in the center of her skull. Seeing this entire attack was done in less than a mere second and comming from the back Akuto would have close to no time to react or even see her and seeing that Kuromeru did not took a single step whilst making her attack it would be almost impossible to hear the attack comming and thus Akuto would have close to no chance to avoid the attacks.

~If the Kunai hit and the Katana missed~
If both the Kunai would indeed hit but the Katana miss, Kuromeru would try to slam it in the kage's back, or at least shoulder, digging it in deep enough to cut through her.

~If the Katana hit and the Kunai missed~
If the Katana would hit but the kunai would miss, Kuromeru would slam the Kunai in Akuto's throat wil a small flick of her wrist. Seeing that Akuto's neck would only be inches away this wouldnt be too hard, especially not if Kuromeru put almost all of her force in this blow.

~If the Kunai and Katana hit~
If both weapons hit Kuromeru would give another strong swirling movement with them, increasing the damage already done and dig them in even further, while almost holding Akuto up as a shield in case the boy with one arm tried something.

~If the Kunai and Katana missed~
If both attacks missed Kuromeru would try to give a finaly blow by slamming them at the kage. Seeing that she sat in her chair at the time of attack, it would be almost impossible not to hit anything though and Kuro went, offcourse, for the vital organs. But if even those slams missed, she would jump towards the window and activate the hidden mist skill, only to jump into the mist and dissapear into nothingness.

[Oh, before someone goes bishing about this; since Kuromeru attacked her Kage she became a missing nin and seeing a kage and a missing nin are always death enabled this thread is too. Better come up with a good post to counter this attack o.o;]

[The Asko]

Atuko looked over at Seijitsu as he left, and then back to Itsuki, waiting for his reply to her question. Itsuki was currently standing in front of the previous Kage's portraits who thanks to the window open and the rain pouring outside, deflected almost like a mirror. As she was turning her head slightly to look at Itsuki she caught the small flick of the Waterfal ninja who was behind her as she moved forward, holding what looked like a knife in each hand. Instinctively Atuko turned on the spot, her speed and quick reflexes coming to call. As she turned she unsheathed the Wolf's Fury.

With one swipe she came around and did what had to be done, unavoidable, for her own protection. She took the Wolf's Fury and swiped it across in front of her, quick and clean. In one motion she slashed across the front of the girl, probably closer than she hda expected. It was not at the weapons that Atuko aimed, but rather her wrists. The slash would be quick enough that the Genin would not realize what was happening until it was too late.

Atuko cut across her wrists, the blade sharp enough to take her hands clean off. There was no way to avoid it.

((Alright, with the momentum that it had to take when you tried to stab me in the back, there is no way that a genin with no TP could've dodged that.))

[hotoka]

As Kuromeru closed in on Akuto, she seemed to have noticed the attack and turned around towards her. The moment she made the first move from her turning around Kuromeru already knew this would be the end of her and quickly shunshined away. But instead of just shunshining outside she shunshined behind another shinobi standing there, a boy with only one arm. The moment she arived behind the boy she stepped back two steps and was now with her back against the wall, while trying to hold the katana its tip against the boy's throat while she also tried to dig the kunai deep into his arm pit, most likely rendering that arm useless as well. She was ready to stab the boy his throat at any movement from basically anyone and simply stared at the kage.

[The Asko]

Atuko realized as soon as she turned to slash when the girl did not attempt to dodge that something was up. She paused her slashing movement as the girl disappeared and the Takikage heard a movement behind her. She turned on the spot slowly to facw who she knew was the girl. The Wolf's Fury at her side she simply glared back at the stare that faced her. Atuko would not allow for Itsuki to die. The fact that the ninja had resorted to taking a one armed ninja captive was sickening enough. But, Atuko knew what she wanted.

"Well, it seems as though you have beaten me." Atuko dropped her sword and it clattered on the ground by her right foot. She looked at the girl with a frown, and then to Itsuki who was standing in front of her.

"Well, I beleive we are at a standstill my freind." She looked at the girl for a moment before turning her gaze to Itsuki.

"Michiru would make a great Kage, would she not? A gifted medical ninja, far greater than I could ever dream of being." she said as though nothing was up and he was not being held at knife point. This was a hint to him, one that she gave as what she figured he was doing there anyway. Her skills probably didn't go to a point that she could restore an arm, but Mchiru might.

"A one armed ninja cannot fight as well as one with two arms, try and keep the limbs you have left in check Itsuki." she smield wide at Itsuki and even chuckled a bit before kneeling and looking into the eyes of her killer.

[hotoka]

With a cold look in her eyes she looked at the Kage in front of her. She actually got her far enough to give up. Sure it was a dirty act but she did not care, for she dispised, and hated this village more than anything imaginable. "I take it that you accept death?" She asked, while still keeping her attention focussed on everything around her and making sure no one would even make a single move. "If those arms come closer than fifty centimeter near eachother his head will have something stuck in it." She now let the kunai rest in the boy's armpit, while grabbing another two out of her pocket. Still foccussing on her and everything around her. With that cold look still in her eyes she threw them towards the kage her thoat. She would still stand there and make sure the kage was dead by throwing twelve more kunai in her neck and using the last one, which she pulled out of Itsuki, to dig deep in the back of the Kage's head.

-If the Kage was indeed dead and Itsuki let her go.-
"Promise me not to follow me, and I won't harm you any more, boy." She said as she created some mist outside, dug herself into the ground and dug her way out of the village.

[The Asko]

((I'll be pissed if you follow him Itsuki because it will make what I've done for naught.))

Atuko smiled to herself at the ninja's question. Accepting death... in her younger years, even younger than she was now, she would've fought it tooth and nail, never accepting and fighting until the end. At only fifteen she had realized that it was stupid, and overcoming fear was the greatest reward. With that thought she looked up at the ninja with a smile.

"Fearing death is a fool's game..." With that Atuko took the kunai, the smug smile still rested on her face. She keeled over from her kneel on the floor. Blodd poured from her throat and Atuko was dead.

[itsuki]

((o.o))

Everything happened in a manner of seconds. One moment Itsuki was standing before his Kage and some others with nothing more than a simple question and the next he was being held hostage by a female assassin. As the boy was thrown into another hostile situation he found himself again frozen, just like when they were attacked by the missing nin in the land of Earth. Itsuki gulped as he found that he could do almost nothing in this situation, and he watched hopelessly as the Kage surrendered herself to the girls will, and he just hung his head and bit his lip hoping that the Kage would just go ahead and kill the girl, even if it meant him losing his life.

But it didn't happen that way. Itsuki looked at Atuko, with his eyes almost watering now as he listened to her speech knowing that it would probably be her last words and he grunted a bit as he felt a pain in his right arm. The two exchanged a few more words before it all ended and Atuko was killed. The girl who did it escaped, and Itsuki could've gone after her but he was too distraught. When the girl was gone he ran over to the body of his kage, crying, not knowing what else to do as it all started to settle in that he just watched her die. After a few moments of panicking Itsuki finally began to try to call out for help or any kind of assistance what so ever and contemplated how he would inform the village of the death of their kage

[†Lσcк†]

Saix who was nearing the Kages tower his back bloody and his close dirty to inform the kage that he had failed his mission and kinda started a fight. Saix then heard somone calling for help he imedatly though 'Yes a good fight i cnat wait.' Saic then dashed towards the location of the Tower and would not take the time to open the door but instead just kick his leg to open the door. Saix would then see the kage laying dead on the floor of the office adn the boy there with only one arm. Saix was a little different from oters instead of thinking that this was a tragedy he seeked to hunt the one that was the cause and have him some fun this was one he could kill and drag the body back for the fun of it. Saix Smiled before saying "Who did this, what did they look like i will hunt them and return here with there head." Saix voice evil yet honest saix would love to kill the one that killed hte kage. He would love to have a good fight that he could not be punished for.

[short but i am feeling lazy]

[itsuki]

(-_- Writers Block)

Itsuki jumped up at a loud noise as the door was apparently kicked in by someone he had never met before, on instinct the boy reached for his Katana and stepped back but when he realized there was no danger he let himself breathe a little and quickly wiped the tears on his face away with the sleeve of his shirt.

When the guy asked a question Itsuki just gave a simple answer, He told him that it was a young girl that did the killing, and gave the guy a description of the girl. He didn't give him any details of how Atuko was killed or any of the sort, since it didn't seem appropriate

[†Lσcк†]

Saix would smile as he got the descryption. Saix then knew that the person would not stay in the village long if they were to stay at all. Saix would tehn see the nearby window and say "Hell with it." before he would run and leap out the window into the rain that was poring down. The rain had cleaned his back mostly of the blood and began to pour into his wounds on his back saix felt some pain but did not care. Saix would tehn notice that he had a few shards located in his arms and remove them quickly. Saix woul then begin to run towards the village exit with his face having a great smile of enjoyment. Saix would stop at the gates to see if they had seen somone of that descryption yet none of them had. Saix would then exit the village.

{Exit and short but i am lazy for now}

[itsuki]

After the man left and clearly sought after the murderer of Atuko Itsuki managed to find some help. A few high ranked medics and nin came to examine the body of Atuko and pronounced the woman dead although the pool of red that covered the floor was evidence enough. Itsuki managed to get a hold of the Wolf's Fury, the Kage's weapon, and he held it close to him even while being questioned by the people who came in and out. He kept the object, and now it had a sort of sentimental value to him. The boy had longed stopped his crying by then he knew she died without fear, and she led an honorable life. The boy didn't plan on going after the killer anytime soon and even if he wanted to it was not an option for him now, doing so would be suicide and would make the fact that she gave her life for him mean nothing at all. But the boy still wanted to avenge the murder of the kage somehow, until then the boy knew he just needed to continue training.
[Exit]

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Blood is cleaned and the body is removed. The village will be informed of the death as soon as possible and a new Kage will appointed upon the return of Mitsuki Michiru if and when she does return and accepts the title of Takikage.

[kajou]

Demache burst into the room, followed by two, bulky ANBU. ''Where is she? WHERE GODDAMNIT!'' His eyes scanned the room, and came to rest on the body of Atuko, his master. Tears welled up in his eyes. It was true! She really was dead. He knelt down and grimaced at the blood covered body, which stared up into the sky, eerily. Suddenly, he noticed her sword was gone. Did Kuromeru take it? No, missing nin don't stop in the middle of an office just to get a sword. The tears in his eyes cascaded down his cheeks, and dribbled off his chin, as he bowed his head and cried.

After a few seconds, Demache raised his head, his face controted in anger. He lifted up the kage's body and threw one of her limp arms around his shoulder, then gradually walked out of the office, and down the stairs, till he was outside again.

[Exit]
