Hall of Roses

[Kuro]

Never Ending

It all had become so still, so eerie for those involved. It would feel as if the whole room was on edge, all due to the fact that Sky himself seemed to be looking right through the gorgeous bride to be standing right in front of him. She spoke, the whispered words were the cover that the enemy needed. A needle soared in at amazing speeds tipped by a rare poison. The skill of the attack was unbelievable, as if they lived their life training for this one single shot. The needle met with the neck of the Raikage, he'd hesitated and the poison wouldn't. Flooding his system his body would stiffen before completely going limp as he would drop to the ground. The trajectory would be right over the shoulder of the bride, though the needle was a black color and picked up no glint in the light. As the male would drop to the ground the crowd would all see it, as if their prediction of attacks wouldn't pick up on the movement. It was from a shadow in the middle of the light...

The shadow clone of Kurogane, whom wasn't far would initiate the 3'rd gate, his preparation had just been completed. The power and speed would flow through him. "Get the Raikage and Tatsuta out of here!" Kurogane's voice rang out from his original position. The clone wouldn't even nod, dressed in Falcon AnBu garb quickly bolted forward picking up the Raikage within his own arms. "Miss, come with me." the clone would say in the exact same voice as the original. It was as if there was two of the exact same person in the room. Should Tatsuta follow the orders, they'd head straight for the front door, all while Kurogane himself was looking around the room, trying to see the movement of the assailant. "Nobody else leaves!" he was trying to take control of the situation, but at the same time he needed to find a way to keep this scene from erupting into pure chaos. They just watched their beloved Raikage take a possible deadly shot.

Though just as he shouted the last command the front door would blow up as it was kicked in by two large Bear division ANBU accompanied by a single man, old and broken in appearance. "Nobody is going anywhere, treat Sky here!" his voice was bitter, the entrance itself drew Kurogane's attention on the door. His clone still held Sky as he stood next to Tatsuta. The clone looked towards the original which Kuro would simply nod. Quickly the clone would set down the poisoned man. The doors were quickly blocked by the Bear Division ANBU. "If anyone is a medic, you'd do best to act fast..." the old man would say as he leaned forward on a cane. Kurogane walked aggressively towards the Old Man, the two Bears would step between Kurogane and his destination. "With all due respect sir, this place isn't safe.. and the assailant?" his voice was quieter, yet the tone was enraged. "He's long gone by now..." the man wouldn't move his guards he spoke from behind them. "As the Senior member of the council, a new temporary Raikage will be named shortly, though that being said only if Sky Shimizu doesn't pull through," his voice could be heard throughout the room depending on the reaction towards the attempts to heal the Godaime.

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=000000] Lady Shimizu~ OOC: Empty The current stare that Sky had been giving me was increasing my tense mood as the crowed around me grew somewhat silent. However, at the sudden highly sensitive sound, I jerked my head sharply to the right as a small black object suddenly shot past my shoulder. My eyes widened at the senbon as it struck the side of Sky's neck, without giving anyone the chance to react to the sudden attack. I watch as my future fell to the ground, my body immediately responding as I dropped down into a crouch to grab my fiancé before his head struck the hard ground beneath us. I was careful to make sure that his neck was not touched, but I did not remove the senbon as I noticed the area around Sky's next beginning to darken in color. someone had just poisoned my fiancé! Rage began to build up within me as I gently cradled Sky in my arms, not paying attention to anything else since I knew that AnBU would be all over the place by now. “Sky, honey can you hear me?” I say, bending my head forward so that my lips gently brushed his forehead. When Sky didn't response I glanced upward and found an AnBU bending over to pick Sky up and request that I follow them. I oblige the moment the words were issued and quickly rose from my crouched position as Sky was transferred from my arms to the AnBU's. Toska broke through the crowed and stopped beside me, whimpering as all eyes were on Sky's limp body. “He has been poisoned. We need to take him to the Hospital immediately so we can find an antidote.” I say, my voice trembling due to both fear and anger. “And those who find my fiancé’s attacker your order is to kill them!” I shouted, moving behind the AnBU as he weaved around the crowed. We had Jounin, Chuunin, AnBU and of course, Genin in the hall so finding the assailant will not take long. As Kurogane attempted to gain control over the situation, my attention was upon Sky as my mind went through all the jutsu that I had learned while at Medical School. But once we reached the front door it was kicked in and the AnBU, Sky and I were forced to stop. The two Bear AnBU who was also accompanied by a hideous man had appeared, blocking my way to the exit. “What the hell are you doing? My fiancé has just been poisoned, if you don't get out of my way I will kill the three of you, now move it!” I snapped, stepping forward but stopped once the AnBU began to lower Sky down to the floor. “No, give him to me.” My order was firm and undeniably authoritative. I then gently laid Sky down and crouched down beside him, my dress crumpling as I leaned forward over him. My chakra flowed from my right hand brightly, lightning up the small darkened area between both Sky's body and myself. As my hand was hovering over Sky's neck, I removed the senbon and dropped in on the floor beside Sky's head which was close enough to not be knocked or moved away. But as my chakra flowed around my hand, I began to gather up the sweat from Sky's hair and body as a source of water since I currently had none and formed a medium sized bubble. That bubble was then pushed into Sky's neck as the dark liquid began to flow into it slowly. Sweat was already beading down my forehead and neck as my full concentration was on performing this task. I knew that I would not be able to successfully remove all the poison inside him, but the bulk of it would be in this bubble within a few seconds. “Somebody give me a cup or a bowl!” I demanded, my eyes darting from Sky's face to his neck, and bubble. As it filled up with the poison, a felt my Mother beside me, placing an empty cup on the ground beside the senbon. “It's fresh, hasn't been used.” My Mother said softly as I quickly raised the bubble after withdrawing it from Sky's neck and dropping all the contents into the cup. “I have removed the bulk of the poison but he still needs treatment as I cannot remove not slow down the poison as it spreads throughout his system.” I explained to Kurogane, half to the AnBU. “That is why I need to take him to the hospital immediately.” I said, my head raising up to see the old man speaking to Kurogane about a new temporary replacement. I did not wait for him to finish as I suddenly got up off the floor, chakra bursting out of my fists as my punch was aimed directly at the AnBU standing directly in front of the man. “You heartless bastard!” I scream out, lunging myself forward should my punch connect with the AnBU shielding the man. Toska rushed forward to the area where I had been positioned as my Mother picked up the cup and senbon with a handkerchief. “Tatsuta-hime! Calm down right this minute!” Mom bellowed in her motherly, angry voice. Of course she understood my reactions and behavior but it was indeed very unprofessional on my behalf, but at this point I didn't really care.

Technique's|Jutsus Used:
Tatsuta-hime's Jutsus:

SPOILER: Click to show

Odoriko Onchou (Dancers Grace) [20][60]
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Tai
Effect: Becoming more aware of their surroundings the user is unable to be caught flat footed or be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: Training to heighten their senses in the heat of combat, the Senbon Taitoku user under goes training to become more prepared then ever. They slowly become aware of their surroundings on the battle field, to the point they become similar with it like their own back yard. With this natural sense of their surroundings the user can't be caught flat footed or be flanked. Which means if the user was walking down the road minding their business, and a ambush party burst out from the bushes. The user wouldn't be caught of guard and would most likely except it, and will sense someone was coming up from behind to attack and will act quickly and either attack first or get out the way. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Senbon Taitoku user

Osenjokyo no Jutsu (Decontamination Technique) [20]
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user forms a bubble controlled by chakra and uses it to extract poisons from the patient’s body.
Special: ---
Drawback: Some poisons may be too powerful to cure. Requires a small water source. Takes a large amount of time, making it useless for battle.
Description: The user focuses their chakra into a small body of distilled water, forming it into a bubble-like structure. Guiding it with chakra, the user focuses the globe into the body of the patient, trapping the poison within the globe and removing it. This process is painful for the recipient and requires intense focus. The user may only cure poisons equal to two ranks above their own. So, a D rank user would be able to cure a B rank poison, while a B rank user can cure an S ranked poison. This technique requires one bubble of water and two posts per rank to extract a poison, meaning the removal of an A rank poison would require four sources of distilled water and eight posts to cure.
Limit: Must be a medic, must know Kanetsu no Gyou.

Punch [10]
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: An upgraded version of Jab. Although this technique is slower than Jab, the difference in power between the two is immense. The user gathers a great amount of chakra into their fists and then releases it upon their opponent.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: Similar to Jab only with a slower wind up and much more destructive power. This is an attack that can cause some serious damage to an opponent.
Limit: Must be atleast Brawler level.

[Kyogi]

Everything was quiet as the groom and bride met which seemed quite strange for a wedding. It was true that this silence came just before a crazy storm. As the senbon was released Kyogi was alerted to the location of the attacker but his reactions would not be fast enough to catch either the assailant or senbon. He could only watch as the needle hit its mark and Tatsu was left to catch the incapacitated Raikage. Adrenaline pumped through Kyogi as his mind raced to grasp everything that was going on around him.

The AnBu he’d noticed before quickly tried to take control of the room. In the mean time Kyogi would rush next to Tatsu to take a look at the kage himself. He’d been poisoned, perhaps lucky for Sky Kyogi knew there were at least two medics in the room. It seemed everyone in the room wanted to leave for the safety of Sky but the Bear division showed up with an opposite opinion. "Nobody is going anywhere, treat Sky here!" Kyogi knew the perfect technique to purify the poisons from his body though Tatsu took a different approach attempting to extract the poison within him.

”Tatsu-hime please let me help him. I can remove anything that is left within.” By the time he’d stopped speaking Kyogi’s hands were glowing a soft green color as he knelt down next to Sky. His glowing hands moved over to Sky’s chest and began to pump against it. The method was similar to when someone was choking but instead Kyogi was pushing his healing chakra into the Raikage’s heart. ”I don’t know how strong this poison is but what I am doing will remove it from him, please trust me you won’t lose him today.” Kyogi knew the poison would not be removed immediately; it was unlikely that an assassin would use a weak poison for a target like the Raikage. His focus was to stay methodical and calm so that his chakra could pour into Sky’s heart and throughout his body purifying him of all substances that were not his own.

Yochi no Kokyuu (Breath of the Earth) [70]
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Purifies the body of foreign substances and chakras.
Special: --
Drawback: Also expels beneficial medicines, does not heal wounds.
Description: The user focuses chakra into their hands, causing them to glow with a soft green light. The user then places their hands over the patient's chest. The user then slowly and gently pumps the heart, injecting chakra into it. This forces the heart to circulate this chakra throughout the patient’s blood, instantly eradicating all foreign substances and chakras of C rank and below. B Rank substances and chakras require four rounds to expel, with an additional two rounds per rank above B.
Limit: Must be a medic, must know Dokutaika B Rank.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

It all happened so fast. The female suddenly saw a needle at the back of the room that was heading for the Raikage. By the time she had gotten up at her feet, the senior male had fallen to the ground.
"Sky, honey can you hear me?" called the bride as she knelt down next to him. Marii looked at her cousins and nodded as their eyes transformed.

"Miss, come with me" told the ANBU that approached her. But he failed his attempt to move her when she objected.
"What the hell are you doing? My fiancé has just been poisoned, if you don't get out of my way I will kill the three of you, now move it!" exclaimed the young woman. "See if you can find a medic in the hall - this does not look good!" muttered Tatsuo.

A pair of bear ANBU agents and an old man entered the room. "Nobody is going anywhere, treat Sky here! If anyone is a medic, you'd do best to act fast..." told the elderly male.
'Really!? That was new!' thought her inner while rolling her eyes."No, give him to me" told the auburn-haired woman when the masked shinobis lowered him to the floor.

Her mother then appeared with a bowl that had not been used. The female then started to extract the poison from the blonde by using a medic technique that the young woman recognized. The Oto nin she had spoken to earlier then appeared right next to the bride.
I don’t know how strong this poison is, but what I am doing will remove it from him! Please trust me; you won’t lose him today" told the male.

The duo started to extract the poison right away while the young woman looked around in the room in frustration. Her cousins appeared to be in a similar mood since they could not find the suspect anywhere.
"With all due respect sir, this place isn't safe. And the assailant?" inquired one of the guards.

"He's long gone by now. As the Senior member of the council, a new temporary Raikage will be named shortly, though that being said only if Sky Shimizu doesn't pull through," told the old man.
The Jounin felt her eyes widen...a new Raikage!? But who could be able to fill a position like that on such a short notice!?

She decided to ask the ANBU since she was a member of this organization as well. The female walked over to them and gave them a short bow.
"Sir...do we have anyone who can fill up the spot on such a short notice? I'm just worried that someone unsuitable for the position may jump the gun. Don't worry about me; I'm kind of a nocturnal" told the brunette.

'Nocturnal' was used as a code word for either cats or owls since they were just that. Her eyes looked to the side for a second and saw the other female punch one of the guards. "Auch" muttered the young woman while cringing slightly. A part of her could just imagine how painful that must have been. He would probably need a medic or hospital visit as well.

Never Ending

It all had been so surreal for those whom found themselves witness to yet another attempt on a Raikage's life within these halls. Though it appeared so far it was far more successful than it had been in the past. Though the combination of techniques preformed by Kyogi and Tatsuta would appear to be rather successful purifying the body after some of the poison had already been extracted from the body. Marii had approached one of the Bear AnBu members, speaking in terms of being a nocturnal yet the Bear paid no mention to her or her disguised meanings. During her approach, Kurogane whom stood between the group and the Council and his Bears would quickly begin to channel chakra to his throat, these games grew old. His technique would finalize just as the rage truly set off within Tatsuta's mind and body. A deep yawn bellowed out from behind the porcelain mask, the sound waves coated with disorienting chakra that would cause dizziness and fatigue to quickly set in through all within the fifteen meter range.

Those closest would be Marii, Tatsuta, the Bears and the Old Man, while the rest of the group was roughly seven meters away. The first group would feel the affects for a total of twenty-four seconds, the second group would feel it for eighteen seconds. Though just after he finished his yawn the Falcon would call out to the group. "That's enough!" his words were a command, aimed mainly at the charge Tatsuta had began to deliver. Turning slightly he'd swat the punch she through downward with his right hand. The eyes of his mask would look directly into hers. Kurogane wasn't about to allow this woman, a newly awarded Chuunin to be punished as a traitor. His face would then turn back to the old man, Kurogane now had control of the situation. "Step aside, or I will cut you down..." as he spoke his right hand reached across his waist, grasping the handle of Kyuushi tightly. The old man would grin through his fatigue, slowly stepping to the side from the doors, his guards would move with him.

At this point Kurogane would turn back towards the fallen Raikage. His lay there unconscious, though breathing his vitals would be weak. "Don't just stand there, get him to the hospital!" with those words shouted, the Shadow Clone Falcon would begin to lift the blonde male from the floor. The affects of the jutsu would affect him as well, yet he didn't' need to move quickly. The group was now free to leave, though all would most likely suffer from the yawn, nothing else would hold them back from free will. Kurogane would turn to face the Old Man and his guards once more, he too would move away from the door, yet he wasn't hindered by his own technique. Once the shadow clone of Kuro got through the door and anyone else whom chose to follow him, Kurogane himself would leave the Hall of Roses, his face remaining on the Old Man as he backed out of the main entrance. He'd soon catch up to the rest and play active duty for the role of protector.

Attempted Exit with Sky

OOC: The event is now technically over, you may exit if you wish or continue this thread. Obviously you can interrupt my actions ^_^[/size]

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=000000] Lady Shimizu~ OOC: Empty Everything had turned to custard. My wedding was not only ruined but the fact that Sky was officially being replaced by someone unknown to Kumogakure for the time being had finally sealed this moment's events. The moment my attempted attack toward the AnBU was stopped and the dizzying state overcame me, I felt my body shut down as I sank to the floor, tears flooding my cheeks. Both hands raised to my face, shielding it from prying else as I simply sat there crying. By then, Kurogane and the AnBU would be clearing the building along with carrying Sky to the hospital. I felt defeated and warn out, not bothering to get up or hold my posture. My Mother was by my side, smoothing back loose threads of hair which had fallen out during my attempted attack on the AnBU and the rough handling of my attack being stopped. Toska lay before me, nudging me gently with his maw, his whimpering sympathetic. Although no words were spoken, I knew what my family was thinking. But after a few moments of breaking down, I suddenly stood up and left the Hall without speaking, my gaze cast to the ground. My Mother and Toska being left behind.

[Exit]

[Kyogi]

The quick response that Tatsuta had done along with his own medical skills seemed to purify the raikage successfully. This was not how he had expected his visit to the cloud village to go, certainly there was something different every time. With the Raikage safe it seemed that things were about to get out of hand as anger consumed Tatsuta. Before any true fighting began a weird sensation flowed over his mind and likely everyone else’s as well. Kyogi found himself blinking to regain his senses dizziness was certainly not one he enjoyed. However things at the wedding were out of hand it and it was time to excuse himself. There was a time for everything but right now the cloud village needed to regroup. When they were secure then they’d reach out to friends but for now he was just happy that Sky seemed safe. Kyogi did hope for an alliance between the villages but for now he'd simply walk out, what a day it'd been.

/exit

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

Neither of the guards appeared to respond, so the female decided to go back to her family members. One of the ANBU's then let out a yawn that literally cut through the air. "GAAAH!" exclaimed Marii while she clenched her ears.
Despite being at the outer edge, the ryuugan had unfortunately given her a sensitivity that made her vulnerable. She felt like someone had hit both of her ears with something hard.

Kenshi managed to catch her just before she felt forwards. "Gotcha Marii-chan. That must have been one heck of a oto ninjutsu...knocked out the bride as well" informed the male.
"What's going on?" muttered the young woman while she heard one of the guards shouting. "Some of the ANBU's plus that old man just left" informed the other young woman.

The dizziness started to wear off. "Can you stand Marii-chan?" asked the young man after about a minute. "Yeah, I'll be fine now" replied the Jounin with a small smile.
All of them left the hall shortly after. The Kazeraikou family was about to get one heck of a shock when they heard about this.

[Exit Marii and her cousins]
