Death Becomes Us [OPEN]

[Hyuuga Sadako]

She got bored easily. People never held her attention for long. With a hop skip and a jump she giggled her way into the 'homely woman town'. Laughing she crossed the border, looking around with curious eyes to see if something there would hold her attention. Nothing had been able to do so in the past but there was a first time for everything.

Moved. No encounter this time.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Masaaki had recently arrived in the Homely Woman Town, for reasons unknown, and was merely walking along. Catching some movement in the distance, he began a slow meandering walk towards.. whatever it was. A woman had recently arrived, a tourist as well it seemed. A small 'meow' caught his attention and he glanced down, crouching to pet his cat over his katana's hilt. Straightening afterwards, he found he'd lost sight of the woman, and stood on tiptoes peering around.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Masaaki blinks at the woman, slightly taken aback from the question. Eating cat never occurred to him, although he'd certainly tasted dog a few times in his scrawnier days. Hesitating for a few seconds before replying he said slowly. "Uhhh. No. This's a friend, not food."


The cat voiced her displeasure with the woman by hissing loudly at her, hair puffing up, sharp teeth flashing. Retreating a few steps, it half-hid behind Masaa's legs, sharp eyes glaring at the woman. Whatever the reason, it didn't like her.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Masaaki's look of slight caution grew to simple disdain. An arrogance befitting his bloodline showed, and he shrugged. "Never been so low as to have to eat a cat." This was likely hardly an insult to her, being accustomed to eating them. It'd be like looking down on him for eating cows. "'Sides, claws and teeth can do a surprising amount of damage if used right. More then any human could do without a weapon."

Raising an eyebrow at her as she correctly identified his clan, he probed curiously. "What makes you think I'm Kaguya? That clan was killed off years ago." Ignoring her question for his own, he maintained a level stare at her. His bone-white eyes, often unsettling with their emotionless stare, peered unblinkingly at her.

Masaaki mirrors her shrug, countering. "Those who don't have them often die to those who do." As she gestured to her forehead, pointing out the position of the marks on his forehead, he twitched his head. Pale white hair fell onto his face, obscuring the marks. He obviously didn't enjoy the fact she knew of his bloodlimit, though likely not for the reason she suspected. Nodding agreeably to her assessment of Kaguya, he keeps his blank face. "It is. A shame they no longer live."

"The Kaguya line has been tainted." The words rolled of his tongue with immeasurable disgust. "Once noble warriors, we are reduced to simple ninja, working dutifully for those who destroyed our clan. I'd hardly like to be associated with what we've become."

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

In an attempt to have some fun outside of Konohagakure, Riku Tadami, entered Otafuku Gai. He had always heard of the many joys the town had, such as it's Fun Fun street and many other entertainment venues. The six foot, 15 year old came in with some casual spring time clothes. He really just wanted to have a good time. Although he was trying to have a small vaca, he still came with his hidden leaf headband. Some things never change.

Not far from the boarder he saw two people conversing. Judging from the pride in their walk they seemed to be shinobi. Although they both seemed shinobi fit, they didn't have head bands on. "They must also be taking a break from work!", he assumed quickly. With a brisk walk he tried to approach them. As he got closer he was able to have a better look at them. One, a rather tall female who was even taller the Riku himself. The other being a man who seemed to have some sunburn. All of them seemed to have skin that was darker than the average resident in Hi no Kuni, which encouraged Riku even more to speak to them because he had search all over Konoha for someone like him skin wise.

[my AC enters]

Alpha, a small white tiger, was sitting in a nearby tree watching a woman and what was now two men who happened to be in the area. A cat was also present, but the tiger didn't know what to make of it. He wasn't one to eat one of his species' cousins, besides, he had just eaten yesterday so food wasn't even on his mind. The only thing he could think to do was sit and watch. Maybe something interesting would happen.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Masaaki merely blinks at the wings forming from her back. Looking mildly surprised, he offers a slight grin. White canines, longer then normal, extended midway down his bottom teeth. In a method much less extravagant then her elaborate display, he simply pushed out the tip of a finger to pick idly at his teeth. "Descended from the clan as well? Who're your parents?"

As she knelt towards the cat, the animal merely sniffed at her finger before turning up her nose. If she kept the hand there too much longer, she'd nip a warning at it, possibly drawing a small drop of blood if it wasn't retracted. The animal was quite clearly not a fan.

Chuckling, Masaaki shrugs. "Obviously not." Shifting his gaze over to the newcomer, he eyed him over. Another ninja. He hadn't even sold the remains of the last one he'd seen yet. Hoping he wasn't here for a fight, he remained silent, watching quietly for the moment.

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

Not noticing the wink of the woman before him due to the awe of her bone structure wings, he just observed it for a few moments. "Oni-san, those are some mighty fine wings you got there.", he replied. Soon after, she had recalled them back into her skin. "Eww." He had never seen the abilities of a Kaguya up live and surely it was a sight to see. Just barging up to them to see bones move was quite odd. At the very least he has to introduce himself. The other man she was originally talking too had spoke first. He mentioned something about her parents and didn't seem as awestruck as the ebony boy. "This is no biggie to them."

Not paying anything to the cat conversation, he was still simply amazed by the bones powers these too people have. "I am Riku, a shinobi from the Leaf, and I was wondering, how does it feel for bone to move through your body?" , he asked both Kaguyas. His eyes were slightly widened with interest and curiosity. He had known being part of a bloodline was something normal shinobis considered cool, but he never imagined something would be this better live.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Masaaki blinked, looking slightly taken aback. His wondering of her lack of parents was quickly cut short by her explanation, and he gave a noncommittal grunt. The woman was nothing more then an imitation, siphoning off the power of others. As she spoke her second sentence, his gazed wandered over to the leaf ninja, disregarding her for the moment. The leaf ninja was darker then both of them, and curious. That was to be expected of course, even another Kaguya of the Mist seemed ignorant of their history.

"I am Masaaki Kaguya.", he offered to the leaf ninja, interrupting Krimzi's speech about trying cat. Listening to her explanation of the feeling of bones leaving, he then added on. "It's painful at first. When we're children, first learning to control it. But after a few years, the pain dulls. I merely feel them leaving my skin now. The pain has faded in time." To prove a seperate point to the two, he reaches behind him. Grasping at something behind him, he pulls sharply. A spray of blood shoots out around his neck area, staining the top of his shirt. With a horrible gut-wrenching sound, he ripped out his spine from his back. The long bone left his back, gleaming slightly from some residual fluids as he stabs the top of the spine into the ground. As he pulled it out, he slumped forward slightly before straightening. Leaning casually on the bone spear, he offered the two a slight smirk. No sign of exertion or pain appeared on his face, merely his overbearing confidence and arrogance.

"See?"

With the other woman flashing her stolen powers, he felt obliged to show this leaf ninja the true power of a kaguya. A shame he hadn't quite mastered the final dance. That would certainly prove his point, but he'd have to make do.

[Way to skip me lol]

Alpha continued to watch as one of the men pulled a mind out of his body. The sight of it upset even Alphas stomach and he was used to tearing prey limb from limb. The young tiger hopped down from the tree and approached the man curiously, not paying much attention to anybody else.

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

"I can't be respectful without being called 'Little One'. Ouch.", he thought. Soon after, he heard the woman talking about how she was a genetically modified human. It sounded so inhumane that she was just a mix of top class fighters. The ebony skinned boy was left speechless. Soon she started talking about eating felines. "What?!" It was a good thing that Riku didn't have much time to think about what she said because the Kaguya's had moved on to their bone powers. His facial expression had moved on from interested to a little disturbed. Despite this he had a toothy smile on his face that showed that he was satisfied with his answer. The boy his age elaborated. He had said that they had to start their training from a young age and it was quite painful. "What a depressing childhood.", he commented in his mind.

Soon he showed an example. Using his bloodlimit, he pulled his spinal cord out with no hesitation at all. Blood had erupted a bit, but Riku was used to sudden blood, he was a shinobi. What surprised him was seeing the stranger backbone come out. "Eww.", he murmured. After a few moments of looking at bone he then spoke up, "And isn't the Kaguya clan mostly a close range one? I don't think I have seen any in my village."

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Masaaki raised an eyebrow at the fake Kaguya, watching as she made of a show of the Dance of Clematis Flower. He was fairly impressed, even though she'd merely done the other half of the dance he'd performed. "For a leech on our blood, you aren't bad.", he commented, sounding unimpressed. She didn't have to know he couldn't do that, although he was fairly confident he knew more about his bloodline then she did. He was born into it, of course.

She'd also ignored the ninja's question, something he felt appreciation for despite himself. No need to go around telling everything about their line. Driving the point of his spine into the ground, he leaned easily on it with a hand. Watching the ninja with a bored look, he waited for him to answer.
