OoC: Where are the other 2? >_> And time to go to the next morning! But your character can roam if she wants Naomi.

Mamoru hadn't moved from his desk which was next to Kale. He hadn't moved or said anything to anyone at all. He simply sat at his desk. Wondering what could happen. How many lives could be lost. How the village could be completely annihilated from the face of the planet. Ayame came in. "Hey is everything going well?" she asked "I got my part done at the river." she said as she sat down in a chair and yawned. He didn't say a word. He thought about everything else. But what would be happening at sun rise tomorrow. The only thing he thought about, was that Raika was gone now. He sighed deeply as people in the square went into their homes. The only people left in the village were Shinobi. A knock was heard. Wataru came in. "Mamoru-Sama! All the necessary preperations have been made! Everyone has been informed on what to do!" Wataru exclaimed with a salute. Mamoru nodded. Wataru looked at Mamoru for a moment. About to ask what was wrong. He knew he wouldn't get an answer. Wataru simply left. Mamoru had made himself a bed on the floor. Mamoru stood up from his desk and went to his tiny bed in a corner. He laid down quietly and went to sleep. Preparing for the next morning.

OOC:....Oh....wow....that...was a lot to read....I've been quite busy...sorry ^^"....school just started -.-....well....anyway...I guess it's a good thing that Kale was out cold....or me missing this much would be pretty bad ^^"....Time to wake up Kale...

It was late in the night before the attacking day. Kale began to stir a bit in his sleep. His eye lids twitched and the scar on his face burned. He clenched his teeth tightly and jumped up screaming, "No! Raika!". He was breathing heavily and was looking down, his hands gripping the blanket on the bed tightly. His eyes were wide and he was sweating a bit; his sweatshirt not helping the problem.
Wha....What...happened?.... he thought, as if his memory was erased.

OOC: wow.....so short....

[Naomi]

Ayame had fallen asleep in the chair she had sat in. Suddenly in the middle of the night she heard kale jump awake screaming something to do with raika. It scared her so badly she fell out of her chair making a thump on the floor. When she looked at him kale was wide-eyed and scared looking. "Kale its ok calm down..." she said as she stood up sleepily. "Mamoru has taken us in...we are part of the hidden storm..." she yawned for a second "Im glad your awake now...Theres some stuff you need to know..." at first her words had been with a smile but they had faded to a more serious look. "When we thought the lightning was up to something we were right. They and the rain village are attacking tommarow...I already made a battle plan...we could always use your help.." she said looking at him. The fact that she had just been scared awake left ayame with little emotion in her voice even if the small smirk she now had revealed that she was glad for kale to be awake and katsai to be gone. "As for raika...yes hes dead but I know he wouldnt want us upset over it.." she finished. Normaly she would try to confort kale alittle on the fact that their friend was dead but she was half asleep, and that was the best she could do. "Ill explain anything else in the morning...you may want to just go back to sleep...but I guess you can wander around too." ayame gave another friendly smile and sat back in the chair falling asleep again.

[Darkaoz]

Kale looked at ayame while she spoke. Hearing her voice calmed him and he was able to ease his breathing and heart. He looked more like his regular self now...Until Ayame said Raika was dead. His eyes widened again but not from fear.
"D-d-dead?....B-b-but....I th-th-thought...that was....a-a....d-dr-dream....," he stuttered.
Raika's....dead?....no...it...he... thought Kale.
Ayame went back to sleep and Kale got up and walked outside mumbling something.
Once he was outside he took in a deep breath, his hands in his pockets. He looked up at the sky, closed his eyes, and enjoyed a slight breeze blow through his hair.
Soon after, he began to walk away into a close by forest.
"Dead....Raika...Dead....," he mumbled, every step he took.
Once he was in the forest he found a small river and fell to his knees. He looked into the water and saw himself. His image slowly grew sharp teeth and blank eyes. It smirked evily. Kale clenched his teeth and swiped his hand at the reflection.
"Damn it....Raika died....because of me...," he said as he looked at his hands. "These hands....These hands....killed him....I killed Raika....It's all my fault!!" he shouted at he slammed his hands onto the ground and held his head low; tears slowly running down his face for the first time in 10 years.
"Why?....Why is it always me!? Why do I always lose everything precious to me!?...Damn it Raika!....Why?!?! You were one of my only friends!" he shouted loudly, more tears coming.
He made his hands into fists and pulled his head lower; closer to the ground.
"It's all my fault...Katsai just....I...I can't do this any more!...too many people die....Because of me!!!" he shouted as he looked up more so he was looking forward. "I....I have to leave...Un-attach myself from Ayame...I'll just hurt her in the long run....," he said, getting up and wiping his tears away on his sweathirt sleeve.
I have to leave....Tomorrow....

[GenjutsuGaara]

Mamoru stirred from Kale waking up. He heard Ayame wake up but just wanted to sleep. He heard the door creak open a bit. His eyes focused in the dark. It was 3 am. After Kale left he got up. It was a very warm night. He was only in his long black shorts. He hopped out the open window and followed Kale until they came to a river. Kale was...Crying? From what Mamoru had heard. He was incapable of it altogether. Mamoru watched from the bushes. As Kale wiped away the tears Mamoru emerged from the bush. Putting his hand on Kales shoulder. "Hey...Uh...I dunno if I should tell you this. But before he left us....He uh....Told me to watch over you, Ayame and Kaito. But...He wanted me to take care of you 2 in particular. Kale...I know its tough to accept hes gone. But we have to let go. But think....Some where in the clouds. Hes singing with the sun and moon, Dancing with the stars and mingling with the clouds." He said as he now stood next to Kale. Even the thread seemed to be waking up. The stitches on his body opened and covered him in some spots. He looked at Kale. "Your not going any where on my watch...Come on...Lets head back..." Mamoru said as he put his arm over Kales shoulder and brought him back to the village. "You just need a good sleep...You've had a long day." Mamoru said. Mamoru stood outside the house. He looked up to the stars. "You better be looking down on my brother...And washed away were the dreams of a brighter day..." Mamoru said as he walked into the house silently. Laying down before the sun rose in an hour and a half.

[Darkaoz]

Kale listened to Mamoru's words.
Watch over us?....And he's...not letting me leave?....Doesn't he get it?...What is that happens again...?... he thought as he sighed.
Mamoru told him to sleep, the only thought going through Kale's head, was his incapability of sleeping. He didn't return inside with Mamoru; he just stayed outside, standing, staring at the rising sun.

[Naomi]

Ayame woke up to alittle sun coming through a window. She stood and streched quietly. Even with her chakra in the river she felt charged and ready to go. Ayame quietly activated her tabugan checking her control on the river. It was perfect she could see and control it. Deactivaing her eyes she streched again and noticed kale wasnt in bed. Curious she walked outside. He was standing there watching the sun come up. "How long have you been out here?" she asked as she walked over next to him and began to look at the sun comeing up also. "Oh and do you feel better?" she asked wondering if there were any sideaffects to katsai having takeover his body.

[GenjutsuGaara]

Mamoru woke up an hour or so later. He was by himself. Nobody else was in the house. He looked around. He walked outside. There they were. 2 of Raikas closest friends. He stood behind them and looked at the sun. "Its beautiful isn't it?" He asked. He put his arms over both of them. "You know....Ayame...I told Kale this last night...But....Raika asked me to watch over both of you very closely. I want you to know he spoke only the greatest of both of you. He said he was lucky to have allies like you. And I know...He died for both of you by my hands. I want you to know...That you guys are welcome to anything I have or will ever have." Mamoru explained.

He looked around. The doors were opening up. Tons of his students and past studends emerged from their house. Mamorus house was right near the square. They all ran over to the 3. Everyone was finally there. All of the Jounin, chunin and genin. Wataru, Azumi and Mai found the 3 in the crowd of people. They pushed everyone away and made them form ranks by their rank accordingly. The crowd listened. A small soap box was put down. Mamoru stood on top of it. He was already tall and now he was a giant. "PEOPLE! WE ARE HERE THIS GLORIOUS MORNING! TO DEFEND OUR PEOPLES HONOR! WE ARE EVEN PROTECTED BY THE DEAD!! MY BROTHER DIED IN THE NAME OF OUR VILLAGE DEFENDING US FROM A POWERFUL DEMON!" Mamoru shouted. The crowd roared and came to life. The many people were now one. They were powerful. "WE HAVE A BRIGHT TACTICIAN WITH US WHO WILL GIVE US OUR ORDERS!!" Mamoru shouted. The crowd roared even more. Shouting with pride and happiness. Mamoru offered Ayame the soap box for her to give the orders.

[Naomi]

Ayame heard mamoru and felt him place his arm around her and kale. So raika realy cared that much... she thought smiling. Everyone in the village was waking up and had begun to gather around mamoru's house. Wataru and the twins found their way throught the mass getting everyone seporated and calmed down. A soap box had been found and mamoru had given a speach. He realy is quite a speaker. ayame thought as mamoru offered her the box for giving out orders. Ayame was a small person and the majority of people around here seemed tall. Ayame had a good voice but she would need the box for everyone to see her. After taking the stand she began speaking, her voice surprisingly loud and clear. "I have a defense and offense set up! The enemy will try to surround us but we wont let them! By the mountains azumi and mai will mack a rockslide as the enemy trys to get past. This will take out a large number of them and force the rest of the enemy to jump and clear the terrain. I want the majority of wind users there. While the enemy is in the air your attacks will hit them hardest!" ayame was speaking in an excited tone, the glint of battle burning in her eyes. "Now as a second defense I want some lightning users set near the river. Kill anyone who makes it through the barrier I have set there! You will see what I mean when you arrive at your post. The rest of us will fight on the front lines! The enemys numbers mean nothing when we have them forced into a small area! We will take them! WE WILL WIN!" ayame had been yelling alittle so that everyone could hear her but the last line she screamed. The crowd cheered for a moment as ayame got off the box and offered the stand back to mamoru she figured he deserved the last word. Ayame simply walked back over next to kale grinning from ear to ear about the expected battle.

[GenjutsuGaara]

"THEY CAN BREAK OUR BODIES! BUT THE CAN NEVER EVER BREAK OUR SPIRITS! FOR THE HIDDEN STORM VILLAGE!!!" Mamoru thrusted his fist into the air. And so did the rest of the village. "YEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!" "WE GONNA GET THEM!" "THEIR SORRY ASSES ARE OURS!!" The few dozen warriors that were there made it sound like there were thousands. In spirit each of those men and women were worth hundreds of other warrios. At least....As planned everyone got into position.

"This is Mai, We can see the enemy approaching this side. Over." She said.
"This is Wataru, We have a visual here at the river as well. Over." Wataru answered.
"This is Mamoru.....We have a visual on the front. I have 10 others with me. We see at least 200 in our way." Mamoru finished the transmission. The few that were on the front lines were mostly remaining wind users and a few earth users."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Its so futile....They'll not stand this seige." A man said wearing a Hidden Lightning headband. He looked across the battle field from a small ridge. "11 units against 200? Are they fools?" He asked himself. "No Gentatsu-sama...They are a very tiny village...They're lucky they have that many." another man answered. "Who asked you Shizu?" Gentatsu retorted. "You did sir..." Shizu answered. "Oh...Right...On 3...Blare the horns." Gentatsu said. "On 3. Horns." Shizu said into a mic. Some static came but not another answer. "1....2.....3!!!" Gentatsu shouted. The sound of horns came. From every where...The Hidden Lightning and Hidden Rain tore through the forest towards the small village.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This is Mai! The hidden lightning and rain are moving!" Mai said. "They're moving incredibly fast!" Azumi said over the mic.
"This is Wataru with the Wind users our techniques are prepped and ready." He said over the mic. Clear and crisp.
"This is Mamoru Kujirame....We have a clear visual of our enemy....LEEEEEEEEEEEETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" He shouted over the mic. All of the Jounin, chunin and even Genin behind him ran forward, jumped through the trees and lept from tree top to tree top. And so...The epic battle for the Hidden Storm began....
