Surviving The Elements

[Jraev12]

It was a cold, stormy evening in the Country of Night. The sun was not on the horizon as usual, nor the moon shining above the Hidden Village of Moon. The weather was terrible, rain and hail fell to the ground, some smashing onto a few lifeless bodies outside the village, and in the center of them, Akaike Namie stood, her sword gripped in her hand dripping blood from the end of the blade. Her face was blank, it showed no emotion of what she just committed with her animal friend, Kiyoshi, who sat by one of the bodies, blood matted most of his fur. His wings were bared. Hail continued to come down harder on them, but neither of them made a move, nor showed if they were in any pain whatsoever. "Hunters, potchers. Dispicable." Namie said in a somewhat of a whisper, her voice a little hoarse. She spat on the ground. She slowly slide the bloodied sword back into its case, the blood staining it and her clothes.

Kiyoshi walked over next to her, and stared at the Hidden Village of Moon, which was empty with no activity. Then, he turned his head upward to looks at her from the side. "If we do proceed into this village to see what it provides, are you willing to?" the tiger dragon demon asked. Namie, her face still expressionless, pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose. The hail and rain continued to pound ontop of them and the dead bodies. "I am. But, if they do fail to do so, I'm going to have a little fun with them." she said, clutching the handle of her blade. Kiyoshi closed his head and nodded. "Then it is settled. We still stay here for a while, then will decide our faite." Namie nodded. "Agreed."

The two started to proceed to the entrance of the Village, carefully watching if anyone were to come at them. The weather became harsher and harsher with every step they took, some hail started to cut them. Neither of them even glanced at the wounds. They were more concerned about finding a place to take refuge for a short while, maybe even longer. Then, they came upon a small apartment, it looked like it was empty. Name went to the door, drew out her sword and cut the lock, letting the door fling open. Inside was three men, who were suprised to see her and the demon animal come in. They charged at her, but were executed in the blink of an eye by a slice to the throat. The men fell to the ground, and a scream was heard from behind. That scream echoed throughout the apartment and quiet village. It was a woman, tears flowed down the sides of her face. Namie walked up to her and put the blade to the side of her neck. "Keep quiet about this incident you've just witnessed. If you are not, I will not be merciful. I will kill you with my own two claws." she said, bringing her free hand up and claws extracted from her gloved fingers. The woman rolled her eyes, and passed out. Namie took back the blade and put it away. "Kiyoshi? Would you like to do the honors of disposing this three corpse's and this unconicous woman? I do know you enjoy doing this." she told the demon. Kiyoshi grinned. "Sounds like fun." he said, and started to drag one of the bodies by the collar of their shirt into a nearby alleyway. He loved doing this because he loved the taste of blood in his mouth. Namie again pushed her glasses up her nosebridge. "Hopefully no one heard that lady's scream. Surely if someone had, whoever it was would be here shortly." she exclaimed. She proceeded around the small apartment, finding a small kitchen, bathroom, and two small bedrooms. "This apartment would be perfect for us while we are staying the the Hidden Village of Moon." Namie said loudly to Kiyoshi, who was outside dragging the second body. Although she couldn't see it, he nodded. Now, all they had to do was wait until the weather let up or tomorrow, or maybe if someone came because they heard the blood curlting scream. Hopefully it wasn't anyone as merciful as them, but now, they just waited.

( Open to anyone. I hope my RP skills are better. )

Hikaru Utada walked along a small path that lead to somewhere she didn't know. She was only out exploring for the fun of it, but it wasn't so fun after she couldn't find her way back to the Leaf Village. 'This is just my luck' She mumbled to herself. She looked up and noticed that not very far ahead were what looked like hail clouds. She looked the other way, no clouds in the sky at all. Strange? She thought to herself with a questioning look on her face. Although the smart thing to do would have been to walk away from where the black clouds were, her curiosity took over, she couldn't help herself, she just loved to explore. So, she took off in the direction of the dark clouds to see what was there.

As she got closer and closer it began to hail, and as she got further under the clouds, the harder it would hail. The young girl stood at the bottom of a hill, putting her hand above her eyes to see if there was anything in the distance, but all she saw was something lying at the top of the hill. 'Hello?' She yelled out to the strange objects, but no reply she heard. 'Hello?' She yelled this time a little louder, but still no answer. Hikaur had a strange look on her face as she walked towards the objects lying at the top of the hill and was shocked at the site. There, on the top of the hill, lied dead bodies, blood flowing from them. What... What was the cause of this...? She asked herself mentally, her eyes wide with shock. Hikaru slowly looked up to see the Hidden Village of Moon. What if the person or people that did this went there? That wouldn't e good for them... I have to do something...!' She yelled at herself through mind.

Hikaru quickly did some handsigns, 'Transformation Jutsu!' She said in a slight angry tone. She wasn't just going to stand by and let a village be killed, no, now she was serious, she was going to do something about this. Hikaru, now in her wolf form, ran into the village, ignoring the hail that cut her, blocking out the sounds surrounding her, she was only focused on that one thing, to defeat whoever had done this.

Hikaru slowed down as she came to a small hotel to see a broken lovk on the ground that looked like it had been cut.. She bent down and sniffed it, the sent of blood was on the lock, the person who she wanted to find, was in this building. Hikaru poked her head in slowly and caciously, not letting her gaurd down for one moment. She could see no one yet from her point of view, so, she walked in slowly, looking all around her. She could smell the sent of blood, this time, it was stronger though. She looked to her side where the sent came from to see one body on the ground but puddles od blood stained the floor, more than one person had been killed here. She walked in further, until, she reached a small room and saw a girl standing in it. Hikaru sniffed the air silently, This is the girl that killed those people... She thought to herslef while letting out a soft, long growl while showing her fangs. She wasn't taking the risk of letting her kill more people, she wuold fight her if that was what it took, she just wanted to stop her...

((Your posting has improved LOTS!! Great Job Jreav!!^^))

The sound of a low growl echoed through the small room, and the presence of another being was sensed, Namie's ears twitched. By the sound of it, it wasn't Kiyoshi growling, in fact if he had at her he woud be in deep trouble. She pushed her glasses up her nosebridge and turned her head slightly, and into view came a wolf. Its teeth were bared at her, as if it were angry for her kill. Did this animal want her kill? She smirked and laughed lightly. No one takes this Neko's kill, and I mean no one. "Can I help you, little wolf? Are you...lost?" her voice was calm and gently, she turned fully around so she was facing this creature and slowly walked up to it. Her hand clutched the handle of her sword. "Because.... I can help you... find you way..." Namie said with the same gentlness in her tone. Her sword was drawn a bit. "...to hell..." she whispered under her breath, drawning the blade fully from its case and set the tip of it on the wolf's nose.

From behind, Kiyoshi had come back from dragging out the second man's body who has been killed, and found the wolf in front of Namie. From his perspective, it looks like she was about to have a little bit of 'fun' with it. He wanted to join in, too. The tiger dragon demon spread out its fur covered dragon wings and extended its claws and bared its extremely large teeth. The spikes and blades that went down his spine sharpened and extended as well. Kiyoshi growled deeply, about to show no mercy to this animal. "Do you want to slice it first, Namie? Or will I have the first strike?" he asked excitedly. Namie laughed. "Of course you can have the first blow, Kiy. I've killed at least ten worthless people today, so you may." the Neko explained. Kiyoshi started to laugh mercilessly in happiness. "Finally... my kill!!!" thedemon yelled out loud and continued to laugh, making Namie start to laugh as well. When these two laugh like this, that means trouble, I mean big trouble. Kiyoshi flapped his giant wings and was directly above the wolf, and dove down with its claws out to pin it to the blood stained floor.

( Thanks ^^ I've had lots of practice )

Hikaru's growl grew as the girl began to speak, her ears pushed back flat against her head and and anry look on her face. Her growl finally grew into a frightning bark, then instantly continuing her growl. The pupil's in her eyes narrowed as she heard the girl say she could help her find her way... to hell... No doubt she was the killer of all those other people, this girl showed no mercy, she could tell.

Hikaru's eyes looked to the side as she heard the dragon tiger demon talk from behind her. She thought quickly as the demon launched at her from behind, but she knew she'd have to be careful with the girl that weilded the sword. She flung around, diving under the demon creature. Although this was the safest way for her to get least injured, the demon had still hit her. Two of its claws had created large scars about halfway down her back and caused her to bleed, staining her fur.

Hikaru knew she would have to think up the best plan she could to fight these two. They were the strongest opponinte's she had faught in a long time, so she knew she would have to be careful. Hikaru closed her eyes, listening to her surrounding to listen for an attack while thinking. She soon opened her eyes, finally coming up with a plan. Hikaru took a few steps back, then looked at her surroundings in the old hotel. She had an idea, but she'd have to be careful to do this...

Hikaru took a couple more steps back until she was almost touching the wall. She had a grin on her face, an evil look in her eyes. She jumped off the bottom of the wall with extreme power, and took off in the direction of the two. She had her claws out, making it look as if she was going to attack. She raised her paw above the creature, prepared to attack but at the last moment disappeared to the side. The wall she had pushed off of had began falling down behind her but now, was heading to fall down on top of her two oppenents.

Hikaru jumped off to the side behind a wall away from them, falling to the ground, the two scratches had gotten worse from what she had just done, she had made them wider, causing them two bleed even more. She knew this wasn't good, she would need something to stop the bleeding, before she lost to much blood.

Akaike Namie started to laugh evily was she watched her beloved friend attack the intruder. So some odd reason, which is beyond many, watching people and ninjas being slaughtered and/or attack made this Neko feel good inside. This is the opposite of an Akaike clan member, for they hate fighting. As the blood from the wolf's wounds splattered onto the room's floor, Kiyoshi landed next to Namie, the fur anound his claws matted with the wolf's crimson red blood. He was smiling. "This is the most fun I've had in a long time..." the tiger demon laughed. The two watched the wolf back up and go at them like a line drive baseball. Kiyoshi quickly jumped up and flew behind, but some large pieces of debris fell on his back, causing him to collapse onto the ground. He wasn't unconious and he was breathing, but the shock of the impact made him fall. "Kiyoshi!" the Neko yelled, she quickly pulled out her blood stained sword and put it out to block, her hand on the blade as if using a shield. But, this wolf was stronger than expected and slammed her against the opposite was, creating a small hole where she was pushed. The claws of this creature dug into Namie's shoulders, causing some of her muscles to tear and to gush enormous amounts of blood. She started to pant. "I have to admit, wolf, you have great skill. To bad this is your last day to use them." she said, continuing to pant. The Neko started to glow green, and in a split-second, she was a small snow-white kitten, blood staining the fur from the teared muscles. In this state she didn't look tough as all, but she was incredibly strong. Namie dropped her sword and jumped over the wolf and went over to Kiyoshi. When the wolf went over because of its wounds, the cat started to push to ruble off his back.

Hikaru looked up at the Neko girl with wide eyes when she said that this would be the last day she'd be able to use her power. She watched as she then turned into the small snow-whit kitten. Harmless... She thought to herself. But, why would such a strong person turn into something as harmless as that, there has to be a twist... She shock her head looking as she pushed the ruble of Kiyoshi. She let out a bark with a soft long growl to follow after it. This ment she wasn't going to let her help her companion, not yet, she couldn't handle both of them for very long so she couldn't take the risk.

Hikaru stood, ignoring the pain it caused her to get up, rushing over to the snow-white cat that was the girl, going in to knock her away from her companion. She had her claws out and fangs showing, prepared to slash her with her claws, or bite her with her sharp teeth. But, during while in the air, the pain struck like being struck on the back with a metal bar. Her back couldn't handle the pain and let it all out, causing her to land rolling acroos the floor, hitting the wall with the power she went at the cat with. She couldn't let herself give up like this, it wasn't her, nor would it ever be like her to give up so easy like that. So now ignoring the pain as much as possible, she stood, almost falling back down again but still managed to remain standing.

Hikaru stood weakly, one of her eyes closed tightly from the pain caused, but the other open so she would know if the girl would attack. Hikaru had a smirk on her face, although the girl couldn't probably tell very well. She had thought up another plan, but hopefully, this one would work as well as the last one. She went in for another attack, jumping above the cats head and swipping her claws down at the cat, although this wasn't the main plan, it would help if it hit giving her a better chance of hitting her further into her plan. She landed shortly after swipping at the cat, disappearing behind the wall beside her.

Hikaru slowly began to tranform back into her human form, panting softly, her hands on her knees to help keep herself up, her eyes closed. She looked up to where the wall had ended from the room she had just came out of. She took a deep breathe in then let it out. Her arrows appeared around her back and her bow in hand when she returned to human form, when normally they would just fall on the ground, but she managed to get them to just appear when she was back in human form, although it was hard for her to do this. She reached behind her head, pulling one of her arrows out of the case. She looked at it on its side, it was sharp and pointy. Perfect... She thought with a smirk. She knelt down, placing the arrow on the ground in front of her, then quickly did some handsigns. Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Missile! She screamed in her head, picking up the arrow quickly. She blew out a very miny version of this jutsu, not big enough for her the neko girl to have seen from the other room.

The arrow was now lit with fire. She held her bow tight in her hand then stood. She got it ready to fire pointing downwards, then ran out stopping in the center of the space conecting the rooms, putting the arrow up to focus it so she would hit the cat. 'You have great skill as well. But it won't be the last day I use my skill, but perhaphs for you..' She said in almost a dark voice she had never used before. She lined the arrow up with the cat then, fired it. The arrow headed straight for the cat with extreme speed, it would take much skill to get away from one of her arrows, no matter what kind of arrow she used, she had practiced archery for as long as she could remeber, and now, all her practice had payed off with the great archer she ended up as.

(( Sorry for my inactivity ^^; ))

Akaike Namie watched the wolf jolt back into the wall, causing her to smirked and purr. She them continued to break apart and push off the large pieces of debris off her friend Kiyoshi's back. IT worked little by little, as the tiger demon tried his best to stand up to push all the debris off. Without know the wolf was up, she continued and was hit with a jolt of pain in her ribs. Namie was flung into the middle of the room, and turned back into the red-headed murderous Neko girl. Her black shirt was slashed and crimson blood started to soak into it quickly. The Neko quickly gripped it with her hand. Kiyoshi watched in horror at the sight; hefelt horrible since he could do nothing. She panted heavily and blood seeped through her black gloves. Namie could hear the wolf's voice; she must have turned into a human form. Then she started to cough on some smoke and embers in the air. Some embers fell on the debris on Kiyoshi, causing it to set fire. Then, a flaming arrow ripped through her right shoulder pinning her to the floor, her clothes burning. The tiger demon was able to get free of the burning ruble, and stumbled to his feet. Namie layed there, slowly moving her hands together and formed a few hands signs. You're wrong wolf; terribly wrong.... Secret Akaike Jutsu! Cat Call!!" the Neko yelled, Kiyoshi rushing to ehr side and pulled out the arrow. She qucikyl got up and spun rapidly around like a tornado; setting out the fire. She then fell on her butt, clutching her ribs, panting.

Outside the building, cats of all breeds, shapes, and sizes, and colors. They surrounded the whole building, they were around windows and doors. Right in front of the exit behind the wolf, two powerful cats quietly slipped inside. One was a male lion; its mane a golden color ruffled about. The other was a white tiger, its fur like a zebra. The lion began to speak: "Hehehe... you honestly think you can defeat an Akaike? Pathetic." he said, his tone full of anger. The tiger walked forward, baring teeth and claws. "This member of the clan knows the most sacried jutsu; the Cat Call. It calls all members of the cat family in the area to where ever she is and is in need of help. Outside are hundreds of cats, ready to attack you. So surrender now, or die..." she growled. The lion bared its teeth and claws as well, both were ready to attack if she even made a move. The tiger demon Kiyoshi blocked the entrance way into the room where Namie was, prepared to attack as well.

((It alright, sorry for my short post^^; XD))

Hikaru Utada, now weak and ready to fall, couldn't take much more. As much as she wanted to just give in and leave, she couldn't, or else this othe girl would continue killing innocent people. 'Ahh!' She screamed out in pain from the demon's claw marks on her back from before. They had continued bleeding, covering her back in blood. She fell to her knees from the agony. Hikaru looked up, one eye open, the pher squinted in pain still. When the girl told her that she was the one who was wrong, she knew that she actually end up being right.

She looked back startled hearing the meows of many cats gathered outside. This must be the jutsu... She thought, trying to stay strong. She stood as the lion and white tiger came in. She looked around, she was trapped inside. She could see that they were all prepared to attack, but she didn't know what to do, it was hopeless, she was outof ideas to get around this. There's nothing I can do... She thought to herself in pain. She stood straight, her arms by her side, and she began to speak. 'You may be right, I might not get out of here alive, I may not be able to defeat an Akaike member, I've realized that this girl does know what she is doing... She said, her head hanging down. 'Now, I just need to believe that I can defeat her. I may not get out of here alive, and odds are I won't, but I won't leave without a fight... and I don't think I can beat and this Akaike, I know I can, and I will!' Hikaru yelled out in anger through the last words. She slowly looked up. 'Now the fight begins!'
