OOC: Ikaku's Nobody is Kaxiku... Now I know who he'll use in KH if I opened it 8\. He could've thought of a different name, I find the relationship too obvious...

Ah, just expressing opinion, I'm beginning to feel less inclined to play, the entire thing just seems to be only about Ikaku... And... He seems to just get out of everything too easily, I mean, it's ANBU, and the three finest of my clansmen, it shouldn't have been that easy... No seriously, think of a better method of escape next time.

IN:
One of the clansmen who were guarding Ikaku managed to keep consciousness, just enough to speak.

"He got away but... He seemed to... change...", he said, then shortly after he lost consciousness. Moments afterward, Tri arrived, with Sakuya. His presence suddenly noticed as his eyes appeared like a dragon's.

"Looks like he already got away...", said Tri, his eyes scanned the area, the soul of one of his was corrupted, but naturally, it began to heal, this was the one that was asked by Yumika of what happened, but purification of the soul can be done unconscious as well. Which means there was an infection type attack used, the others were scorched, but it seems one of them actually managed to use something to lessen the damage before-hand, as expected of ANBU, to recognise handsigns. Well, they were all well, except for the guy with his heart stopped, if treatment wasn't done soon, he could really be dead. As for his clansmen, even though he didn't feel much attachment to the clan yet, to have people of his clean beaten so easily...

"Yumika... Let's beat the crap out of him... If he won't stay, then let's force him, we'll cut his arms and legs off if we have to, we'll gouge his eyes out... Whatever it takes, a bastard like this doesn't deserve life...", he said, then soon... He felt it, the almighty fury of the Dragon, the pride and power of thousands of generations. The Black Dragon,

"He's got his comrades back, so I'm not going alone for this...", he said, as a black aura began to fluctuate around him, briefly showing signs of a dragon from time to time, and maybe if you listened, a creeping and eerie roar.

"I don't care if he's your friend... He definitely isn't now..."

[Skymonkey]

OoC- Yeah I agree Ichi... I mean they are ANBU they are the freakin elite of the Ninja... and even jounin shouldnt be that easy... I mean you killed them as if they were Genin... And not freakishly strong genin like Naruto...

IN:
"Heh... What do you think I was heading to my office for Tri" Yumika said gesturing at his clothes "This little bastard has messed with me too many times" He growled as he got even more angry after thinking of what he had done to Minako...

"If you go wait on the edge of the we'll first come up with a plan... We have to tread carefully though because we will be entering another country and we don't want them to think we are declaring war... the most we are able to do will most likely be get an idea of where he is..." Yumika told Tri as he left "But I guess its better than nothing....

With that Yumika left and went to his office and changed into his battle clothes "Minako doesn't need to know about this..." He thought as he began to feel slightly guilty...

[ichijin]

OOC: Don't mind if I add a weapon to Tri's repertoire before the battle with a godmodder 8D.

IN:
"Hehe... I think I'll bring "those" along...", he said, as he began walking back to his house.

"Sakuya... Make sure "he's" ready, we may need to unleash him, if Ikaku turns out to be too powerful", he continued, Sakuya seemed somehow uneasy, though she went off to do whatever it was anyway. Tri walked into his room, prepared his Soul Rhythm Changer, which were effectively his headphones, then headed off to the main room to pick up something his father left him. The Sky Breakers...

Minako could see that he obviously wasn't expecting what she had told him. The thoughts of that night and remembering the torture Ikaku put him through we're obviously hurting him.

"Um... er..." Yumika started to stutter suddenly at a loss for words. "Minako... I..." But before Yumika could finish what he was saying an ANBU had approached them both. He leant down and whispered something into Yumika's ear. His expression quickly changed from awkward to furious. Minako knew this wasn't good news and she could only guess it was about Ikaku.

Yumika stood up silently and leaving some money for what he drank and left without saying a word to Minako. She watched him leave with the ANBU, and then realised all the eyes of the shop were now on her again. "Jeez! Don't you people have anything better to do!?" She yelled angrilly, she stood up and went over to pay for her meal. "Don't worry about it Mina-chan, I can see your having a rough day..." The owner said sincerly. "Thanks sweets, You always look after me" Minako replied giving a weak smile.

She stepped out onto the street and looked about, no sign of Yumika. "*sigh* He's gone to the cells, I just know it." Minako grumbled to herself as she went to head for the cells as well. Suddenly she changed her mind, "I'm sure he's got a tonne of paperwork that needs to be done, I'll get a start on that, He obviously doesn't want me there right now...." she moped. Her mood was now quite depressed.

Minako made her way to Yumika's office, cursing at herself the whole way. "Why did you have to bring it up Minako why?! What is wrong with you!?!" She cursed at herself. She arrived at his office to see a smaller than usual stack of paperwork and coffee spilled all over the desk. She rolled her eyes and gave the desk a quick clean before sitting down and trying to get a start on the rest of his paperwork. "Heh...looks like he tried to do some for me...Good thing he's got me around, otherwise it would never get done..." She chuckled to herself as she layed her head on the desk. "Perhaps I'll just take a quick nap...I did have a little bit to drink..." Minako said quietly to herself as she slowly drifted off.

"Now...i ask you something...What are the reasons for you following me?" Ikaku asked, not watching for movement because Sayuri was paralyzed. xD
She averted her eyes, but wherever she looked she was able to see him. "I'm here to train." She said bluntly. It wasn't a lie. Just not the entire truth. "You are someone I can learn from with unique skills that few other teachers possess."
Sayuri knew that what she wanted to do would probably make her as bad a criminal as any, but somebody had to do it. She only had to train underneath him and find his weaknesses, emotionally and physically, and maybe one day after years of gaining his trust and developing her own techniques, she could take him down, with the help of high ranking Sound nin if she got a chance to reveal her plans to them.
But he seemed to like her a lot more than she had planned... could she use it to her advantage or was that crossing a line?
"Now, I need some rest. I feel like crap." She closed her eyes and breathed a sigh.

OOC: So, there's my unintelligent plot-bunny. ^_^' I feel like a noob.

Yumika ran flat out from the jail straight to his office bursting through the door... When he saw the room he noticed Minakosound asleep on his desk... "Glad she's drunk otherwise she would of woke up..." He thought as the guilt for what he was about to do was building up...

He snuck over to his closet and got dressed in his old battle clothes made of a singlet that waas a snug fit to prevent it from catching and also made out of ver light material and a pair of shorts also made of light material... He had a few pouches for weapons... but he didn't take much because he usually doesn't use them... He took off the ceremonial sheath for his sword which he wore when not needing to be battle ready and grabbed the leightweight wooden one... His entire attire was black and plain...

He walked up to Minako and silently lent over and kissed her forehead "I'm sorry it had to turn out like this..." He whispered as he lent back from kissing her "I love you" with that Yumika turned around and walked out of the room in full battle attire prepared for the battles ahead...

When he got out of the building he took to the rooftops and arrived quickly at the allocated meeting point... He then sat down and pulled out his blade and began to polish it...

[Jadeabella]

Minako stirred slightly in her sleep. She felt a presence in the room, but wasn't sure if she was dreaming or not. She slightly opened her eyes, she could've sworn she seen Yumika.

Minako eyes fluttered as she closed them once more getting comfortable on her arms. She faintly heard as voice as she dozed back off and what felt like a kiss on her forehead. "I'm sorry it had to turn out like this..." Yumika whispered as he lent back from kissing her "I love you".

Minako smiled to herself and was suddenly sound asleep once more.

A few hours later Minako awoke from a very peaceful sleep. She placed her hand to her forehead trying to remember if what she felt was real or not. She gave a small yawn and looked around the office noticing the clothes on the floor. "So Yumika was here....." Minako said outloud to herself as she got up to put them away. She folded up the clothes and opened the closet and noticed e few things were missing.

"His battle sheath for his sword is missing....and a couple other things." She thought. Minako's stomach flipped over, she now felt physically ill. The ANBU from earlier and now this. Ikaku had escaped and Yumika was going to kill him. "This is bad I need to find him..." Minako said trying to keep from panicking.

She dashed from his office and made a bee line for her apartment. More than likely she'd get dragged into battle if she went to find Yumika so she knew she had to be prepared. "Just....don't do anything stupid Yumi~kun..I cant lose you..." she thought as she ran.

IN:
"Yo there Yumika", said Tri, as he landed by the roof tops. Two large tonfa with blades and cannon ends respectively, sat on his back, with a strange, different set of headphones to the ones he usually wore.

"Sakuya's coming along too, but she'll be back up in case something gets out of hand", he said. She was hidden, and actually hidden quite well too, not even Tri knew where she was.

"Now, should we get going?"

[Heru Pembala]

Heru, having been enjoying the rest of his leave, finally was alerted about the current situation by a man inside ANBU. Yawning lightly, doing another set of handsigns, he jumped from his office's window. Again, removing the metallic board from his back, he quickly and silently took flight. Using the black clouds in the sky to cover his tracks, he allowed the moon to guide his path of hiding as it showed the black bottoms of the clouds. Watching Yumika rush past him, over the roof tops below, he quickly masked his chakra signal and got low on the board. He would watch them for now, silently keeping a close eye out for him. A few hours passed quickly, Yumika seemingly waiting at a location for someone... Or something? It didn't take long before he took off with a man he had seen earlier. Observing from afar still, he turned around and would keep the town watched. However, it wasn't long until yet another ANBU guard had waved him down. Explaining exactly what was happening, Heru could only nod and thank the man.

Once again in the air, Heru was looking for Minako, the man had said to find her and keep her from doing anything stupid. However, he knew he could not do that, not even that he couldn't stop her, but that he wouldn't stop her from making her own choices. Seeing her bolt from the administration buildings, he quickly dove and began a quick free-fall. Once again dropping off of the board before reaching the ground, this time the board simply making it to his hands before he placed it on his back, he nodded. "How about we go get Yumika? I have infromants following him with orders to intervene if needed until I get there. However, they are only to intervene if it becomes life threatening. Are you coming or not?"

[Skymonkey]

Yumika looked up from his blade as Tri arrived... He lsitened to what Tri said about Sakuya and agreed "Yes... Its a good idea to have someone the enemy doesn't know about... But be careful, we have to remember Ikaku has the byakugan aswell..." With that he set off with Tri through the forest towards the border...

They were traveling for awhile through the forest... Yumika had the feeling he was being watched by someone... "We're being followed" Yumika whispered to Tri as he came closer beside him "I noticed it awhile ago... But I was sure you had noticed aswell" Yumika continued... "I don't know whether they are friend or foe... They may be sent by someone to help... or they could be under Ikaku..."
