((Ooc:im tired of rotting in a cell...and i will be making up the numbers of ninja i meet))
Ikaku knew he couldnt get out of here without its help. Damn it...i guess i have too.
~Ikakus Mind~
Ikaku walked forwards to the center of a blood red room. A figure dnced beyond Ikakus veiw. "come out...I need your help" Ikaku yelled to the shadows. So..you come to me now...is your chakra back? a hissing voice called from the darkness. "yes" Ikaku said as the figure came to the center. "i will give you control with one condition...i have companions, if you hurt them...i will kill myself and you in the process" Ikaku said. Deal...but i do have a name...its Kaxiku Kaxiku held his hand out towards Ikaku and they shook hands.
~Real World~
The snakes on his wrist writhed and coiled around his arm, settling above his eye once more. His canines shot down across his bottom lip and underneath the blindfold his eyes reversed its pattern. Kaxiku took over and shot chakra from his pores, silently destroying the restraints. He walked up to the restraints of Chou and Sayuri and blasted chakra from his fingers feeing them. He hit the lock with a blast of chakra. he lifted Sayuri and Chou on his shoulders and ran forward. Ninjas dropped down from the ceiling. Five ANBU and 3 Ratajagon surrounded him. Ahhh...Right. He dropped Sayuri and Chou went down into a hyuga stance. Kaxiku drew three kunai from a leg pouch and sent them at the Ratajagon knowing that his Genjutsu wouldnt work,they blocked them with ease. "damn...ahh i know" He ran towards an ANBU and strike him with a plam in the chest stopping his heart. He flipped behind the ANBU and threw him at another ANBU. The ANBU fell under the others weight he performed a few handsigns and blew a few fireballs at the fallen ANBU, scorching him. "ahh two down...3 ANBU and 3 Ratajagon to go". He went low into a Hyuga stance and said "ahh you Ratajagon have never seen the likes of me" Kaxiku said with his fangs bared. he ran up to a Ratajagon and hit him with two fingers, sending opposing chakra through his system. He continued to strike the Ratajagon then lept to the next one.
"this is taking too long" Kaxiku muttered "Heavenly rotation" Kaxiku spun on the ground and hit all the ninjas, dispelling as little chakra as possible. Satisified that they were unconcious Kaxiku grabbed Sayuir and Chou and lept upwards towards a window. when he landed he speed off towards the border of the village, leaping from rooftop to rooftop. he hit the forest soon and continued to speed towards the border of the sound country.
He soon found a hideout created by Ikaku a while ago just outside the border. Ikaku fought back and took control of his body. he placed Chou on a bunk in the corner. He then moved to another bed and placed Sayuri in it. "im sorry...for all of this Sayuri...and now....im not sure if i still want to destroy the sound village...if it puts you in harms way" he lent down and kissed her on the forehead "im so sorry
"How nice, you brought me some sake"Yumika teased as he took a drink. Minako looked up, she didn't even notice him arrive. Yumika looked around and noticed how many people were looking at him. "Heh, guess I can't go out much more now" He joked. "Well you are the Utakage, drinking Sake at 11:30 in the morning Yumi~kun" Minako giggled as she poured herself another drink.
She rested her head in her hand as she took a sip. She'd had quite a bit already. She managed to straighten herself up a little. Seems she was also getting some questionable looks from other customers. Whether it was because she was sitting with the Utakage, That she was close to drunk so early in the morning or the fact that she was always so informal with him. It was probably a combination of the lot but she didn't care, she was irritated.
Minako noticed that her meal had arrived so she took her chopsticks and started eating. "Do you think he really will try to destroy us Yumi~kun?" Minako asked vacantly as she shoveled noodles into her mouth. She had never been one to be polite while eating, she always enjoyed her food a little too much, and the looks she was now getting from others were less than approving. Minako shot a nasty glare at some on lookers and they quickly looked away. "Nosey prats, get a life already..." She grumbled into her Ramen as she ate.
"Yumi....." Minako started after finishing a mouthful of noodles. "Ikaku said....." She paused then thought better of it. Why ruin what they have with something as trivial as Ikaku bringing up old issues, which are more than likely his lies anyway. "Actually nevermind it's not important..." She said and continued eating.
OOC: Woah... I haven't posted in ages. This'll have to make up so it might get a bit long... (And sorry about that last post. We share a computer and it was on Heart's account.)
Sayuri felt herself awaken, but she couldn't remember where she was and didn't remember blacking out. It must have been while she was being carried back to the Sound. Now that she thought about it, her memories of leaving the forest were an almost gentle haze. Now when her eyes opened she felt vertigo from the darkness that surrounded her and the effects on her body from her attempt at escape last night.
Rising out of the blackness she heard a familiar voice. Ikaku... "...and to answer your question Minako... you answered it yourself... but I do have another goal... the destruction of the sound and all who reside within... the shinobi of this village are weak and i have taken it upon myself to remove this taint from our ranks... and the best way to do that is to raze the entire Village."
He was talking about the destruction of all these people and their homes just for being weak. As, of course, was she when it came to battle. Sometimes she wondered if her own reasons for travelling with Ikaku were worth it.
Sayuri recognised the chakra signature of the person he spoke to - it was that woman who had paralyzed her. That reminded her that she still couldn't move. She was so dizzy that she hadn't even tried to yet.
Another chakra entered the cell. Utakage...?
Sayuri analyzed her surroundings some more as best as she could without sight and found that Chou was with them. It almost made her giggle. They had put all three of them in the same cell? They were free to communicate. And they still were not entirely sure of Chou and her own ability. It wasn't the best move, tactically, but with the state Sayuri was in it wasn't going to make a difference anyway.
The Utakage and the woman left after a heated conversation with Ikaku and Sayuri was now positive that they knew each other personally. He had told her of his past teachers, so she was assuming this woman was one of them.
Sayuri was contemplating whether to use this opportunity to ask Ikaku the question she still had for him when he decided to go and break free without an obvious plan. Great.
But, thankfully, he did free her of her bindings along with Chou. Guards and high-ranking nin were quick to attack him, and Sayuri's ability to comprehend what was happening was starting to drift away again as blinding light and loud sounds erupted around her. She hoped Ikaku didn't get himself killed...
When the noise all ended and the darkness returned, Sayuri found that she was unscathed. Ikaku had been defending her and Chou as well as himself.
In a blur, she was being carried by Ikaku again, over rooftops like they were made patchwork fabric and then into the shaded enclosure of the forest. A small house, and finally a place to rest. Her head hurt, and nothing really seemed like anything more than a far-off dream sequence right now. She felt a bed beneath her weary hands as Ikaku placed her down. "I'm sorry... for all of this, Sayuri..." He said softly. She would have told him it was all okay - she could have left him if she wanted to so it was mainly her own fault. But it wasn't okay. What he was doing was still terrible. What was more terrible was that, for now, she was helping him. But she couldn't tell him it was all okay.
"And now... I'm not sure if I still want to destroy the sound village... if it puts you in harm's way." Really...? To want to destroy something so badly for such a stupid reason had to mean a person was insane. Surely insane people were hard to convince with logic.
She was too out of it to care when he leant down and she felt his lips on her forehead. Maybe she could meet her goal after all. He had said he didn't want to put her in harm's way. Maybe she could manipulate him.
Either way, she was sorry. When she saw Ikaku, sometimes she could only think of him like a little kid who had gotten lost at a store. He looked too fragile and was definitely too immature to be a criminal like he was.
Maybe that's why he hated weakness. Was it just that he wanted to cover up his imperfections and fears?
She wet her lips and talked, though she couldn't move to face him completely. "Ikaku... I wanted to ask you something, remember?" She found that talking wasn't as difficult as she thought it might have been. "Why is that your goal? To destroy the Sound? It... may sound like a dumb question, but I've never asked." She swallowed and risked another question.
"What's it like, to think like a murderer?"

IN:
Tri was listening to his music, free time meant his time of course, although one of the Ratjagon clansmen that were sent placed a Soul Alarm. Say if his soul were to show signs that he was knocked out, the alarm set up would go off. It was just a small orb, it would glow immensely for one second, then after every few seconds, it would light up again. And to his dismay, it lit up.
"Annoying...", he said, picking it up and throwing it onto the small bed of pillows over in the corner, letting it illuminate the dull colours of the pillows.
"Sakuya, we're going, any advisor, contact Yumika... We need to go and check on Ikaku...", he said, walking out the door.
"Do you think he really will try to destroy us Yumi~kun?"
"Well... At the moment he can't seeing as he is locked up... But I guess if he were free..." Yumika trailed off not wanting to answer...
He was glad when Minako was distracted by the gaze of some onlookers as she relentlessly shoveled down food...
"Yumi....." Minako started after finishing a mouthful of noodles. "Ikaku said....." She paused "Actually nevermind it's not important..." She said and continued eating.
"Go on.... Anything he said is important Minako... We can't leave any detail out,,, What did he say?" Yumika questioned suddenly becoming curious...
"Go on.... Anything he said is important Minako... We can't leave any detail out... What did he say?" Yumika questioned suddenly becoming curious.
"It wasn't really all that important, like it wasn't about his plans or anything, more so past topics..." Minako said nervously, she started to blush heavily. "Should I continue? Should I ask him??" She thought, her mind was racing at the moment. She gulped heavily and knew if she didn't say anything, Yumika was going to keep hassling her about it. Sighing softly she continued "He brought up about the night that he left, and what your fear was....of losing me" She blushed again "About you loving me"
Her face was now a deep red, she knew she shouldn't have brought it up. "But like I said it's not important so don't worry about it...." She quickly said and took a large slurp of her Ramen broth. "Stupid Minako Stupid!! You babble too much when you drink!" She silently yelled at herself...
"What's it like, to think like a murderer?" . Ikaku looked up at Sayuri. "Most of the time its not completely me...it this thing" Ikaku said pointing to his arm. "and...im sure you heard what i said to Minako...but still...i cant remember truely" Ikaku felt lost within his own mind.
"Now...i ask you something...What are the reasons for you following me?" Ikaku said watching any movement from her.
"It wasn't really all that important, like it wasn't about his plans or anything, more so past topics..." Minako said nervously, she started to blush heavily. She gulped heavily Sighing softly she continued "He brought up about the night that he left, and what your fear was....of losing me" She blushed again "About you loving me"
A flash of anger shot through Yumika as this brought up memories of the genjutsu Ikaku had cast over him from the dark that night and of the image of Minako's body lying on the ground dead then pleading for help... "Um... er..." Yumika started to stutter suddenly at a lose for words... "Minako... I..." But before Yumika could finish what he was saying an ANBU came up to him and whispered in his ear "Ikaku has escaped and crossed the border, We are very sorry for our failure Utakage-sama" the ANBU apologised quietl so noone but Yumika could hear...
Yumika quietly got up... dropped a few coins onto the table for his share of the sake onto the table... then walked away showing no emotion except the rage that could be seen in his eyes... He didn't say anything... He didn't want to worry Minako with it yet... He simply walked out of the shop then when he was out of eyesight from the shop he broke into a mad dash for the jail...
When he arrived he found the guards he had left only moments ago unconcious on the ground "DAMNIT!!!!" he yelled in pure rage as he slamed hist fist into the steel wall leaving a dent from the sheer force of the punch...
He walked over to the closest guard (One of the ratajagons) and woke him up... "what the hell happened here?" Yumika questioned him....
After recieving a brief report from the guard and having it confirmed by the others Yumika left the room and went for his office...
'Crap they saw me' she thought.
"STOP NOW!!!" He yelled out drawing attention to himself "You are surrounded by high level nin! Surrender now or we will attack you and we will not hold back because you are a small girl... if you do not wish to die drop your weapons and surrender!"
She didn't let her weapons go and tried to throw them again, then people grabbed a hold of her.
"Let me go!" she yelled. She was frantically kicking about.
When she saw a woman come toward her.
"Think you're pretty clever don't you little girl?" the woman smirked at her before giving her a large backhand across the face. She pulled a ornament from her hair and plunged it into the Chous arm, injecting paralysis poison.
"Yeah infact I do!" she couldn't move.
They were walking back to Sound with Chou and the others.
"Ok, I'm not going to be a fucking prisoner ok so just let me go and I won't hurt you. Also, I'm not a little girl, I'm 15 for your information!"
Chous face was full with anger and disgust while they took her away.
Before she knew it she was locked in a prison cell, paralized with Ikaku and Sayuri.
"This is fucked." she said blankly sitting in the corner of the cell.
Chou saw the same woman that paralized her come across to the front of the cell.
Ikaku and her had an arguement when another ninja came over.
Would you look at that, it was the Utakage!
Chou figured Ikaku knew the woman and the Utakage personally.
The ninjas walked away quietly.
'This sucks.' she thought.
She then noticed Ikaku sort of thinking then abrubtly broke free of his paralization and scooped both Chou and Sayuri up onto his shoulders.
Then a beast looking thing appeared and helped him.
Chou couldn't believe what a mess she got herself into!
He fought with all the nin guards (dramatically) and headed off into the forest.
He found his way into a little house and placed me down in a bunk.
Chou sighed.
She watched him head over to another bunk as he placed Sayuri in it
"im sorry...for all of this Sayuri...and now....im not sure if i still want to destroy the sound village...if it puts you in harms way" he lent down and kissed her on the forehead "im so sorry
"Ooo haha," Chou laughed as she lay in the old uncomfortable bunk.
"What now, when will the paralization wear off, cause I'm not laying in this piece of shit for more than another day!"
