The Lost Puppy [T/P]

[Mat]

I walked from the gates of the Village of Sound, marking it upon my map. As I walked I allowed Iron Sand to flow from my garments and amass beneath me. The Dragon seal was formed and the same formed a disce under my feet that lifted me into the skies. I could no longer remain in this country, the memories of pain were too vivid. Instead I was heading north and the platform lifted me twenty five meters into the sky and propelled me forth. It moved slightly faster then I would normally be able to, which suited me just fine, the sooner I could leave the better.

The scenery rushed on beneath me before the disc took me over the sea level. The vast blue sea rushed on beneath my form as the Magnetic Tempest rushed me onward toward the Land of Thunder. I lowered my altitude until I was practically surfing upon the waves of the water and land was seen in the distance. I was practically running over the water and I bit my lip, it was my first time away from my home land. I was still unused to being a free man, so how would I be able to handle the change like this. I approached the land and tried to prepare myself for the change.

Seigan no Kamae and Chudan no Kamae
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A stance that is used within the Senkou Kensei Kenshiki fighting style. A stance that is needed for certain types of techniques depending on what the technique is used or how it is used. These are two stances in one to where the properties are similar as well as the knowledge of them, the way they look, and what they will be used for.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The Seigan and Chudan no Kamae are similar in every aspect when it comes to looking at the opponent, having their feet placed down upon the very floor, as well as the amount of pressure they have between both of their legs. The user keeps their right or left foot forward having their toes pointing forwards. Their opposite foot is shaped in an "L" shaped keeping their legs in equal motion. Their feet are perpendicular from one another as face forward their feet and legs are in shoulder width apart. This is used as a basic formation to where the user can move from either defensive, or defensive movements. For the Seigan no Kamae stance has their hands relaxed, grasped against the handle of the blade in question. The sword is pointing in a forty five degree angle as their arms are relaxed, hands close towards his hips as one would wait and relax. For the Chudan no Kamae the user keeps the same foot work as that of Seigan but their hands is brought up towards chest level as the sword that they hold is slightly more gripped proof. The sword is pointed forward as the blade is pointed down towards the ground. These stances are mostly known for parrying and blocking, as well as making quick attacks upon the opponent.
Limit: Must undergo Senkou Kensei Kenshiki

0/5

As the Masamune flew above the ground over the land of Kaminari no Kuni he sought out the wandering master rumored to reside within the country. Spotting a woman he decended and after some brief conversation she agreed to teach him the art of Senkou Kensei Kenshiki. Yet before teaching him she sold him a Gauntlet of Stone for 5000 Ryo.

After giving him the Gauntlet she took out her sword and Kerai followed suit. Showing him the Seigan no Kamae stance and the Masamune was instructed to imitate it. His left foot moved forth from its poition related to his body with toes pointed forward. My right foot moved in an equal motion with an "L" pattern so he would be able to move between offense and defense flawlessly. The blades of his swords were pointing at forty-five degree angles due to the relaxed grip upon them.

With a nod that the man could not tell if it was of approval or one showing he needed work they began to move on. A new stance was shown, and Mai gestured for the white haired male to copy. It was another rather simple looking task, and the male relaxed his hands while placing one on the hilt of each of his blades. The swords were brought up to his chest yet the blades were pointed down at the ground. The stance was designed more for defensive parries and making rapid strikes, it was up to the Master if he had the technique correct.

+5 (Ryo deducted also.)

[Mat]

Time had passed with the Masamune training under Mai and it was time for him to move on. Thunder held no more promise for him so moving on would be the best bet. The Masamune bit his lip, there was no turning back now so it was onward to the north. Looking at his map the Masamune saw that the land of Yuki no Kuni was the next stop. Forming the dragon seal a disc of iron sand formed beneath the Masamune and lifted him into the skies. He was already rather close to the border so there wasn't much flying going on before the climate changed. Things were getting colder, it seemed he was entering Yuki.

NPCS: Falcon AnBuuuu!

Target acquired .

The singular thought would run through the mind of the AnBu Falcon as extremities would press violently against Mother Gaea In a hasted fashion To conceal ones existence in the land of frost was a difficult task; each step to reveal his location thanks to the ground being covered in blankets of mountain white, but he couldn’t complain now- he chose to go after this select individual. His eyes, though hidden by the milk mask would rest upon the non-ninja, his byakugan to pierce through the physical object with ease. As he moved forward would a extremity upon the hilt of his wakazashi, ready to strike if needed- his blade teased, it could only wait now. His speed had been unlike most, with each step had he gotten closer, with each second had he gotten closer.

YO! Sueshijuu, Kerai

Words to solemnly exit his mouth, their tone stoic, life drained in all ways. Speaking in such an amplified fashion would ensue the revealing of his location, if not already known. He would take a step forward, his breath silent as the porcelain mask would be the barrier between the two of them. ”If you have a moment, I would like to speak to you,” another step would be removed from their total distance. Even if the man had been busy, he would force whatever he had to speak onto him.

“Well?

[Mat]

Floating above the snows upon his disc of iron twenty five meters above the land a call of his name met the Masamune's ears. Someone who knew him? It was a rather short list, yet he decended and turned to face the caller. An unfamiliar form behind and unfamiliar mask. "Um, hello... Do I know you?" Even if he weren't floating upon a disc ten meters above the snow the white haired male would tower over this unknown entity. No introduction was made and it was pretty quickly to business. "What can I do for you?" He was a kind individual, rare during such times.

[kabreka22]

May I join?

[Mat]

The man had vanished as quickly as he had arrived and Kerai was beginning to get very cold. As such he rose from the ground upon his disc of iron and and floated as quickly as he could to somewhere. If only he were familiar with the terrain, but alas the Masamune rushed through the air hoping to find sanctuary, and such he did. Sanctuary in the form of a small pub which he entered quickly as possible. The heat of the place rushed and overwhelmed him for several moments, it was a great thing opposed to the harsh cold of the outside in Yuki no Kuni. Figuring he would purchase some food the Masamune opened his bag of money and realized how little he posssed, thus he looked towards the jobs board and something caught his eye.

It was a guarding mission to protect a man in a sleezy industry from assailants. It wasn't something he was really up for, but he needed the money and so he grabbed it from the board and left the warmth once more. Directions were given and hopefully a warm meal and warm place to sleep would be included in the package. Through the air his disc took him as the snow haired man flew through the skies. Arriving at his destination the man finally knocked and when someone answered he showed the flier and spoke, "The job still available?"

'What am I supposed to do? No one has responded to my request yet... Is no one going to help me?'

"No, no, no this just won't work out. Maybe no one received it yet... What am I to do?! What am I to do!?"

As the man spoke to himself there was a knocking at his door. A sudden chill would run up the man's spine as he ran to hide under in the closet. As he noticed that no one had forced their way in yet he assumed that they couldn't be the ones after him. Walking to the door the man would look through the eye hole before opening the door slightly. The man would look suspiciously at the youth, but once the non-ninja asked if the job was still available the door would swing open and the man would try to reach out and hug the male. Reaching for his hand, the man would grab the teenager and pull him inside.

"I'm glad you're here. As I said in my request I need you to protect me through the night. You have roughly two hours before night fall. Is there anything I can do for you to help you?"

The man seemed desperate and willing to do almost anything as long as it meant being away from harm.

[Mat]

It was quite a while before the door waqs opened and the man answering it seemed quite flustered. Quickly the man moved in to hug the Masamune upon asking for the job. Not one to be hugged, or ever experiencing the act he quickly put a hand up and stopped the man's act. He so longed to ask what such an act was, yet he feared it would lose him the job. Remaining silent he heard the the question and allowed his iron to return to the gourd. "A warm meal would be greatly appriciated."

[← KIRA →]

A warm meal was all that the youth asked for, and that would be all he would receive before being rushed to work. The client would quickly get to work in the kitchen fixing up something for the youth to eat. The youth would not wait for long before the man finished cooking. Well it wasn't really much cooking done in the first place. All he had done was warmed up his extra serving of ramen from earlier that day. The man had not gone out to buy anything in a while for being in fear of an attack. Hopefully the youth would understand.

Walking over to the table the man would place the ramen down on the table. A glass of water would also be set down just in case the man got thirsty. After placing everything down the man would simply pull out the chair and wait for the Masamune to take a seat.

"Please excuse the lack of food. I haven't been out in a while. After you finish that I would like you to get started on your job. If there is any information you need just ask me. I'll be at my computer getting some work done."

The man would then turn to walk away and to himself he would speak, but it was loud enough for the youth to hear.

"What a great feeling it is to be able to get back to work~"

[Mat]

A good meal, finally. He was in great need of this food provided and he moved into the room he had been directed to for eating. Standing about he looked about the area taking note of all metallic objects within his field would have power over. He allowed the field to creep out and taaste the metals of the area and finally his food arrived. Taking a seat once it was pulled out he merely smiled and replied, "No no, this is perfect." The field still creeping out and feeling all the metallic sections as he took up the chopsticks and ate. The client moved into his own work place to get some work done presumably. Kerai ate quickly and began to work, drawing his swords prepared for attack as he walked the house all senses open.

[← KIRA →]

As the Masamune's field went out it wouldn't feel too much other than the piping in the walls, which went throughout the house, as well as three picture frames that were only found in the kitchen.

As the hired male walked about the house the lights would flicker on and off until they finally came to a complete shut off. The blinds that were open ushered in no light as the sun had left to take it's nap and the moon was behind a cloud. Foot steps could clearly be heard outside as well as low whispers, though the words spoken couldn't be made out.

"What's happening!?! What is going on?! Fix this! I can't get my work done like this. I can't think of ideas for my next film with the lights off."

It was clear that the client was scared even though he was trying to sound in charge. The footsteps outside would come to a halt as the door knob could be hear jingling. Someone was trying to get in. Who was it and what would the teen do?

[Mat]

The Masamune caught the sound of footfalls and prepared himself, moving with them, surprisingly to the front door. With a smirk upon his features the male, though teen in years was very much a man, spoke. "Enter with peace or leave." The entrance was left to the one attempting to enter, if they meant no harm or if they meant ill.

[← KIRA →]

As the door opened to a male in front of the door the voices would scatter as one would stay. This one seemed to be the only one that had the guts to stand his ground. The other footsteps would be gone as the only man left would pull out a dagger and charge at the teen.

"Anyone that protects 'this' piece of sh*t will die!"

There didn't seem to be anything special about this man, but he surely was determined to get what he wanted and he wouldn't stop until he did. With his dagger out the man would lunge at the Masamune in hopes of stabbing him.

[Mat]

A pitiful attempt to attack the Masamune who moved quickly. No sooner had the dagger entered the man's hands than his doom was spelled out. The blade within the man's left hand lashed out while the man wasn't even within its reach, but the cutters of wind were another story. The propelled from the blade and sliced into the attacker a good many times, being invisible and the man inexperienced his doom would be sealed. If the attack was successful the man's body would be moved outside and the door shut, the corpse would be properly disposed of later and Kerai didn't want the heat leaving.

The blood would splatter across the area in front of the now dead man. His body would be simply placed outside the door for future disposal. While the body was being placed outside the sound of a window crashing would occur inside of the house. There only being one floor on the house made this quite easy for one to sneak in through a window.

"What are you waiting for?! Come save me!"

The voice of the client would echo through the house as he awaited the approach of the teenager that he had hired to guard him. Glass objects could be heard breaking in the room that the client had been in. The Masamune would need to rush to get there in time.

[Mat]

The crashing of a window came from the work room the client was in as the body was being moved. Luckily the door was close by, he had been stangin next to it when he struck. Stopping moving the corpse Kerai ran and crashed into the room. it would not stop there though and iron sand would rush from his containing topwear and assault the stranger in the room. the damage would be minimal but it would halt the figure in action before the Masamune's client could come to any harm. "Bring it."
