All in All (Solia's death)

[solia]

The child would slow to a walk and look casual as she heads through the gate. Though some of the Solia legends seem to proceed her. The notorious little thief that got herself adopted into a Village to steal back something priceless to her.

A couple of kids would see her that are obviously orphans as well and greet her. With an arrogant smirk, she would smile when she hears her name spoken and she would nod. "That's me."

With a happy cheer they would lead the way as the three kids would race through the streets as though they own them. People would get pushed aside and curses would be shouted as they take off toward a few abandoned buildings that most of the street rats use to call home.

Yes this would be an ideal place for Solia to be awhile.

Being a Brat is common place for the imp that is Solia. She would jump from that roof top now. The scroll cuffed back in place just above her butt on her pouch. Using her wind release in it's primal most form, she would lower herself to the ground and the other kids at this parently den would laugh happily that their new so called leader can perform such feats.

She would smile and walk along headed toward the market place in the capital. Sure she could still train, but when you are hungry, nothing works right. The mischief maker would make straight there and a few would follow. All in all in the name of getting a bite to eat.

Once in the market, the two she calls side skicks now days would hang back and watch her work. After a stroll through the market, she would step back to where she started. The first pass was used to see how people act and how they react. Do they notice a child walking through? Would they notice her looking or would they ignore her for adults?

This place is like any other. They ignore her because she is small and they don't think she has money. She has 1000 ryo, but why spend it when adults seem like dummies. The little thieving princess would walk right down through the place, moving left and right from one table to another. She would take some cooked deli ham from one table and some some cheese from another. She would also take some oranges between two tables and also some apples too.

A brief stop with her side kicks, she would pass off the food to take back and go right back to work. She would boost some bread chunks and some blankets from one seller. Further down, she would take some condiments from an eatting place. Then return to the second compadre of the bunch. That child would take his charge back to the other kids as well.

The child princess of the thieves would stop at a ramen shop and boost some right off of a tray a waitress picks up a few moments later, minus the bowl.

Solia would find a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle. Chopsticks in her little hands. She would start to eat the Creamy Chicken lemon Ramen by herself. "All for me."

[Zetsumei]

The ship had made birth at port and the Sand Man departed, grateful to be away from the seas for now. The Sand creature moved fluidly through the streets, a marketplace or tavern would be best for gaining information, and he loathed the close quarters of taverns. The marketplace was his destination and his single gazed ahead of him, lips parted in their ever distainful frown. Fingers flipped through the book and brought the page for Solia back up and the Devil stopped at a fruit stand showing the image to the Vendor. "Seen the girl?" Looking at the image of the girl in the book he pointed off in the general direction she went. Searching for children was a pain in the ass, yet he moved off in that direction, hoping something interesting would happen.

[solia]

When munching ramen in the open, one must always keep an eye out. It isn't unusual for one to be seen and suddenly needing a hasty exit from the streets, but the young princess of mischielf doesn't readilly see anyone and downs the broth from the bowl of ramen in a few gulps. Licking her lips and wiping her mouth on one over sized sleeve, she would leave the bowl there as she turns her back away from the market.

She had finished her daily feeding of the orphans so she has no reason to concern herself with them right away. Stopping at a resturant a short distance away, she would slip past the counter to the soda machine and fill a glass fresh from the dish washer with so lemon lime soda and walk off.

The resturant didn't even notice the casual theft as she heads back into the market street now and begins to look for more things the thieving princess can get a hold of.

[Zetsumei]

The Restaraunt noticed nothing of their little thief, but the Devil of the sands saw the child. They were a fierce and mischievous breed, human children, and one had to keep their gaze towards the ground when seeking them. It wasn't much that he saw, but in the distance the child running around was visible, though details weren't clear she was still potentially. His pace went unchanged to keep suspicion of a chase down as he continued onward, but the distain on his lips curled up into a grin, he was on the hunt.

His longer legs would mean his movements faster then that of the girl, enabling him to catch up while at a walking pace unless she ran. Yet she was a thief, and running would only attract unwanted attention, attention she unwittingly had already gained.

[solia]

Walking casually, the child wold slip by a table and remove a pair of children's gloves and walk onward. Though she really didn't take them for herself. A small child dress in a dirty coat would appear at the end of the walk way and Solia would pass them off to her and keep going. the little orphan child's eyes would brighten and she would run off into the crowd with the new mittens to keep her hands warm.

A little robin hood deed perhaps since Solia is living among these orphans who have no one in the south side of town. Clearing by some live stock auctions she would stop. Being a thief for so long, she gets an eerie sense of when so much goes ones way that something is bound to go wrong.

That little sense of dread would cause the ninja princess to glimpse around. Seeing nothing immediately threatening, she would scuttle on down the street to a section close to the docks. Though there is usually just fish here, she heard some clams were being brought in. Clams mean pearls. Pearls given to the right people can mean additional cash flow. This means she can get some nicer digs for the kids to live in.

She would roll back the over sized sleeves cover her hands as she moves along and button them in place.

[Zetsumei]

He continued following, getting closer and closer as he continued on in his path. Yet there was one point when the girl turned he had thought he was made, yet though his mind tensed, the perfect control he held over his body kept it from doing so. Yet it appeared that she saw nothing suspicious and continued on as she was. This could all be a rouse so he had to move in quickly for when she had turned he'd caught a glimpse of her face. Yes, it was the girl, the face, the eyes, he recognized them form when he had seen her within his old office.

His pace quickened barely perceptibly, he knew where they were headed, and wanted to finish this now. Yet as well as hungry to kill, he was bored and wished to see if the girl could put up a fight at all. When she was rolling up her sleeves he would approach from a few feet away while quiet words left his lips for her ears only. "So what do you plan on stealing now?"

[solia]

If she was a cat, she when she froze, her ears would have risen in alertness. Slowly she would finish her last step and turn to face the one who spoke. Though her initial reaction would be to deny. Seeing the...person behind her only makes the hair on the back of her neck stand on end. "Do I know you", she would ask casually, then the image would seem to freeze as she pushes off on her left heel, leaving an after image behind where she stood.

She would move right, but also be running. Something about this particular adult makes bad thoughts cross her child like mind. She isn't sure how far she will get, but at the same time she would be moving her hands through some signs.

Another jutsu in preparation

[Zetsumei]

A single hand of white would flash down to grab her by the hair while another reached for his bow in case she escaped. yet... his hand grasped nothing, the sneaky tart had moved away and left an image of herself behind, clever. Yet it wasn't clever enough, for a quick glance left then right caught her within his sights. The bow had been brought up along with a special arrow and he aimed he, drew and released really very quickly. This arrow would not be aimed at the girl, but in between where her feet would be and on impact with the ground it would burst into a sticky substance.

All was done while her back was turned and she fled, yet even if she managed to use that image technique it would be of no aid. The area covered by the glue would surely be enough to catch her. If she was caught he would stroll over to her in not much of a hurry, yet if she managed to escape such a fate he would persue her drawing a new arrow, a more effective one for the job.

-1 Glue Arrow

[solia]

Though her signs were being prepared for a jutsu, it was immediately disrupted as she attempted to use another after image, but where she did attempt to move, she did end up moving slightly. But because it wasn't far enough or fast enough, she would fall to the side, stuck at her left leg all the way to her knee.

Pull as she might, the child is going no where in this particular moment. Though not to show too much panic as she still tried as she might to pull her leg free, she would compliment him in his targeting. "Nice shooting", she would say as he simply walks up. This would probably mean the end of her no doubt. She hopes not quite yet. Perhaps she can see an opening to get away still.

[Zetsumei]

Walking over his grin turned to a smirk, it was as he thought and the girl was weak, barely capable of doing anything. Squatting down, the devil of sand grabbed her by the hair, for she would not be stuck for too much longer and it would keep her from escaping. "So kid, why the hell did you take a skull from the gates." That was the one thing he wanted to know before she died, a scroll he could understand, but the skull... not so much. Humans were an idiotic and confusing breed.

[solia]

As he took hold of her hair in his hand and now down at her height, the little princess would whimper some. Children's scalps are more sensitive and in his grip she was defiantly going no where.

"So kid, why the hell did you take a skull from the gates."

His tone is a sinister thing to her and she swallows. "Don't you have a Momma, wouldn't you do the same for her?" She would say it in as strong a voice as she could muster. "She took me in when my Village was burned to the ground. She killed someone who almost killed me. She took care of me, taught me things. She told me things that were important. She may not have given birth to me, BUT SHE WAS MY MOM. And then you people disgraced her when you put her on that Gate like that. That was cruel. She wasn't as BAD as you made her out to be. She was a good person. She destroyed most of the Slave traders. Putting her on that Gate was evil. I only joined so I could find a way to help her."

She would struggle in his grip some. "I won't tell you where I put her. You won't find her EVER!"

[Zetsumei]

Her little speech caused the mirth to boil within him and he could not help throwing back his head and howling with laughter. "You stupid little b*tch. Can't you tell what I am? I am the devil given form in this world, the monster from all your nightmares. Frankly, I don't give a damn where your precious 'mommy's' skull is, unless you burried it in some heavily populated area the scavengers with dig it up from whatever shallow grave you dug and devour any meat on it before breaking it to suck out the marrow. No matter where, unless in some city or village, the animals will get to it, humans wont be everywhere all the time."

He would give her a moment to allow the full reprocussions of her actions sink in, surely she did not think that anywhere outside of populated areas would be safe forever. And as it sunk in a Kunai would emerge from the sand in the palm of his hand where he would grab it and thrust it into the girl's chest, and as she died he smirked and said, "Your head will go nicely with the rest at the gate."

[solia]

He thought the child would simply fear and cry at her death, it didn't matter. Death was something she expected at some point. But a scream she hears as her life slips away would confirm something that she hoped they wouldn't see....

Back behind the demon of sand, three others witnessed the death of Solia and have begun to scream. These being three of the followers that the little thieving princess has mustered.

If he hoped to stay concealed while in Mist it wouldn't matter now, for the children would run back for the main market place screaming and yelling to anyone who would listen to them.

((Solia is Dead))

[Kinz]

death approved.

[Zetsumei]

The glue had worn down and the children screaming were getting on his nerves. "SHUT THE HELL UP YOU F*CKING BRATS!" Those were the only words that left his lips before he dragged her corpse to the port to board a ship and head back to Sand. Who would even believe a bunch of orphans going on about a monster killing their friend.
