"I will," said Aaron, taking the headband, as the Kikaichu scattered to the wind. Unfortunately, for them, the coming storm would spell their doom. They would not escape. As his bees returned to the safety of their master's body, Aaron couldn't believe what had happened. He had finally done it. His nemesis had fallen.

Up close, the face was the same as the one from his nightmares. He had killed his first enemy ninja. A smile touched Aaron's lips before giving way to a chuckle and then a deep menacing laugh. "I won! Aaron yelled to the Heavens as the storm opened up upon him. He laughed like a maniac, a fierce wind howling through the air. The reign of Aburame was at an end. The reign of the Kamizuru had begun. He could do it. He could slay every Aburame in existence!

But first he would keep his word. He would deliver the headband and a message of war. Aaron's name and the rise of the Kamizuru would begin with this victory. Physically and mentally exhausted, Aaron searched his opponent's body for valuables, taking everything he could find. Then he would decapitate Iizuka's body with his own sword. The head would be for bounty or trophy. He wasn't sure yet but for now he accomplished his goal. It was time to take cover and rest.

It was a choppy sleep, the storm dragging on all night. Huddled under a makeshift shelter with Iizuka's head and his bees for comfort, Aaron waited it out. Fortunately by dawn, the storm had blown itself out and a gentle breeze blew. The air smelled of sweet smoldering smoke as the ashes of this year's sugar cane crop crumbled nearby. A tragic day for the Land of Sea bu a terrific one for Aaron.

Ringing out his clothes and taking stock of his new found loot, he gathered up the shuriken that had finished his opponent. Their points were still sharp. He quickly dried them to prevent rust. It would be a good day.

After some morning stretches, he glanced at Iizuka's unmoving headless corpse. He still couldn't fully believe it had ended. An excellent adventure. Now he just needed to pass Chuunins and begin his reign as undisputed king of the bees. To do so, he needed a pet that would obey his commands.

Forming a set of seals to bring forth several muddy clones, they would grab Iizuka's body and hoist it into the air, letting the smell of blood waft in the morning dew. The body still carried a little heat. It was a long shot but perhaps he could bring forth a rare Wasp that dwelled in the area. He failed the exams but killed Iizuka. Iizuka's death would have value as wasp food.

Moving through the destroyed landscape, Aaron's clones brought the body to a patch of still smoking sugar cane and unceremoniously dumped it letting it warm, as he hid nearby next to a stone. Forming a few hand seals and using some of his refreshed chakra, he formed a sturdy suit of armor for himself. He had the right landscape, the question was he still close to town.

Aaron had no choice but to wait for now, waiting in quiet anxiety for an hour as the sun slowly rose over head.

The sun beat down but Aaron's perseverance paid off. In little less than an hour his target had actually appeared - a giant solitary wasp. It swooped in quickly its wings faintly buzzing through the morning air. Aaron sprung up as the wasp grasped Iizuka's body. "Wasp! That body is a gift. Serve me and rise to power!" It was a sudden outburst, but he needed to make contact quickly. These wasps could grasp and flee super fast if they so chose.

Yet this wasp merely looked at Aaron and gave him a "pshh" look as she bit into the body. Giving the wasp an evil eye, Aaron spoke directly, "Serve me or else." The wasp merely gave Aaron an amused grasp as she was bigger than him. A plethora of bees rose up out of Aaron's body in response. "It'll be worth it if you serve me, said Aaron again, his voice like steel watching the wasp's every move.

The wasp took flight as if Aaron was beneath her. "Attack." Aaron gave the order to his bees as swarms rose up around the wasp. The wasp flew forward into the swarm body slamming a bunch of them, yet many were still able to sting her as she swung here stinger back and forth like a giant fly swatter. "You can stop this at any time. Yield!" Aaron commanded. The wasp changed tactics choosing to dive bomb Aaron instead.

Aaron dodged by using the Double Suicide technique retreating under ground where the wasp couldn't reach. Swarms of bees followed her down as her stinger passed through open air, his bees striking quickly on her hard exoskeleton. The moment the wasp got close enough to the ground he reached up and pulled her down while pulling himself out. Only the head of the wasp was visible for the moment. "I told you," said Aaron as he called off the bees. He let a few throw in a few more bee stings. "If you want to get out, you'll serve me. Do you accept?"

Aaron waited for her answer, ready to use more force if necessary, as he watched her eyes dart every direction trying to plot an escape.

Eventually Esmeralda resigned herself, and made an awkward nod with her head, stuck deep in the earth. Smiling, Aaron focused his chakra into the earth as he made seals. Soon his skin darkened, a tough second skin forming over him, an armor in case the wasp had other ideas.

Even though he was an earth master and could easily move the earth with the jutsu, Aaron went over to the wasp and began digging with his hands to shove away the loose earth holding her prisoner. Mere inches from a wasp with a head as big as his, Aaron stared at her large eyes showing he was not afraid. "I assume you can finish?" asked Aaron backing up, a pile of dirt resting nearby.

The wasp clicked his mandible as it shook itself free, hovering several feet in the air. Their eyes locked, the wasp's quick glance at the nearby body did not go unnoticed. "Go and eat," said Aaron pointing to the still fresh corpse of Iizuka. The wasp darted to the body and snipped the neck right off with its powerful mandible, munching on it as it rested it's body on top of the corpse. "A gift to you," said Aaron. "I killed him myself less than a day ago." The wasps Antenna twitched, a subtle hint that the wasp knew Aaron was showing his dominance. Aaron plopped down on the ground nearby, watching the wasp eat. "It won't be bad coming with me. I am a bee master after all." The wasp eagerly tore into the food like a starving beggar given a feast.

When the wasp finished leaving no trace of Iizuka's body, Aaron beckoned. "Follow." Recalling his bees, Aaron left a few small wapss out hovering around Aaron as translators and eyes for the back of his head. Reluctantly, the wasp followed acknowledging the bee user had him beat. "What are you called?" Aaron asked.

The giant wasp made several noises but Aaron didn't fully comprehend. Fortunately his wasps did and Aaron understood them. "Well Esmeralda, here's how I see our relationship working: You'll travel with me and together we'll create an army to show the world our power. We will slay those in our way and outside of trophies I need for myself or my mission you can have the corpses for your pleasure. Surely that would be acceptable?" Aaron's words were strong and bold, more statement than question, a seductive hint of what was coming not that Esmeralda had much choice in the matter.

Esmeralda muttered something inaudible though Aaron was beginning to understand her. Pointing to a pelican flying overhead, Aaron said, "Devour it." With several strong flaps of its wings, Esmeralda charged the pelican stinger outstretched. It easily pierced the heart of the pelican and as it dropped into her legs before vanishing in several quick bites. Things could be worse thought Esmeralda as she peered down on high at the human she followed. He had spared her and so she would follow him for now.

Their journey continued in silence until Aaron found what he wanted, a small house he had passed on his way out of town. Putting his hand up to signal stop, Esmeralda hovered in place wondering what the bee user had planned. Aaron didn't say a word as he tried the door - locked. Aaron kicked the door open and went straight for the kitchen leaving Esmeralda outside.

Aaron quickly found what he wanted, an ice box and a freezer. Filling the box, Aaron exited seeing Esmeralda flying back and forth and a man fleeing in the distance. She obviously scared the guy off, probably the house owner. He hadn't even said guard the door but Esmeralda knew what to do. This relationship could work better than he thought.

"Good job. Let's go" said Aaron uttering no useless words. He needed to preserve Iizuka's head until he got back to the village. Esmeralda followed saying nothing.

Unfortunately by the time he had gotten back, a man stood by the tree where he had left the head. Dressed in a policeman's outfit, this wasn't good. He should of considered the epic show down bringing an investigation. Aaron sighed. "Want dessert?" The man hadn't noticed their presence yet, too shocked as he examined the severed head missing a body.

In an instant, Esmeralda was gone dashing like a madman towards the guard. Before he had time to react, Esmeralda plunged her stinger into his muscled flesh, paralyzing him. Aaron merely looked on in awe as she bit his head right off sending it flying. She knew what Aaron meant. Before Aaron could say his plan, she had killed him.

Aaron chuckled, turning it into a menacing laugh. "I am Aaron and the world will bow to me!" Looking around for any other witnesses Aaron watched as Esmeralda plunged her stinger again into the man's body, holding the pose for several seconds. He knew what she did from books - the police man would be home of her offspring. Aaron laughed again. When someone investigated this body they themselves may be slain.

It was time to leave. He didn't need to draw more attention. His adventure on this island had already resulted in the deaths of a Waterfall ninja, a fireworks salesman and now a cop. "Bring me the ninja's head." When Esmeralda had finished her mating, she grabbed Iizuka's head and brought it to him. She could distinguish between a ninja and civilian. Another useful trait. Shoving it into the ice cooler, Aaron said, "The rest is yours. Let's go."

Esmeralda swooped down and scooped up the cop's head clipping the skull off. Her long tongue began slurping the brain like soft serve ice cream as she fell in place beside him. This would be a fun adventure.

[N A T S U M I]

+10; Learned. Gosh, your terrible!

[Aaron: The Bee Master]

With his gear secure, Iizuka's head on ice and a man eating wasp for company, Aaron headed out aiming for a neighboring island as Esmeralda had spit up a notice saying the Chuunins would be held nearby. What fortune!
