Minako made her way back to her house. She paused and looked behind as she thought she felt a familiar presence. "Ikaku?..No don't be stupid Minako....Why would he be here?" She shook off the thought and went inside.

After a quick shower, she layed out some clothes on her bed. "Now, what to wear...." Minako thought outloud. After a few minutes of trying on different outfits, she decided on a classy looking black dress, not too short but also fairly easy to move around in. Some strappy heeled shoes and left her hair down for once. Finishing with her Weapon she was ready to go. Looking rather impressed with her appearance she set back over to see Yumika.

She arrived at went up to see him. Once Minako got back Yumika quickly took a moment to admire how good she looked then "Well I guess it's time we head off" He said as he started off in the direction of the ceremony.

The ceremony was going perfectly. The previous Utakage had made her speech and Yumika was just about to be introduced. Minako was so happy for him and she was glad that she was able to be a part of this. She looked up as fireworks burst in the sky, they were so beautiful.

Suddenly she got a chill as she felt the presence from earlier. She glanced over to Yumika who's hand was on his Katana. She changed her stance and took her shuriken off her back before a figure glided down and landed in front of the two of them.
"Hello Yumika..."

"I knew you would come back some day," Yumika growled as he drew his sword and averted his eyes from Ikaku's face "What do you want?" He said with malice in his voice. Minako's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe who was standing before her. She lowered her weapon briefly. "I...Ika...Ikaku?" She barely managed to say....

"You don't want to visit the new Utakage?", she inquired.

"Yes I don't, because I don't feel like it, but everyone at the clan would be outraged if I didn't make any relations", he replied. He really didn't feel like it, a day with Sakuya would have been enough.

"Just go, think of it as seeing a new friend, not a person the clan wishes to have good relations with", someone who wasn't in a high seat of power would usually see things like that, but the way everyone else pressures you makes you convinced that you should rebel since they're being such pain in the asses.

"Fine then".

During the night festival, while the fireworks were active, Tri headed over to the Utakage's section. It seemed pretty lively over there actually... Then he saw weapons drawn. Even though he couldn't care less, this village was still his home, if someone was threatening the representative of his home, it'd be disastrous. Tri broke into a sprint, Sakuya followed in suit. Then he caught the name of one person he'd never seen before...

"Ikaku?... Hey someone explain, who is this?", he said. Tri during the night at such an event was wearing the traditional clan robes. Since the others won't stand for it if he wore his usual. Basically it was a Kimono designed for easy movement, with black and white, Yin Yang decorations.

"And you, Ikaku, couldn't you wait until after the ceremony? You all seem to be good friends, so I thought you could've been more considerate to the rest of the village".

OoC: I'm sorry SM it wasn't exactly a Double post, i'm not sure how it happend I was doing soemthing in profile(editing).
I'm really sorry.

[X.:.Scarlet.Mangekyou.:.X]

"ahh..your one of the barbarians...and no it couldnt have waited...i enjoy making a scene" Ikaku began to laugh and he turned his head, staring into the eyes of Tri. "welcome to your nightmare"

Nightmare realm (1st day)
"shatter Jail" Ikaku muttered. the crushing force of the Nightmare Realm lifted Tri and splayed him on a cross. "1st sword" Ikaku jestured and a sword appeared, stabbing Tri through the stomach. "every hour for 365 days...a new sword will stab you... you will be kept alive but you will suffer..." Ikaku walked away leaving Tri screaming.

(365th day last hour)
"nearly done" Ikaku said, placing a finger into the pool of blood. He licked his finger and said "all done..." the realm dissolved around them

Real World (1 second later)
"ahh...Both you and Yumika now share a common experience...you have felt the sting of the Shatter blades..."he performed a few handsigns"Yumika and Minako may be familiar with this jutsu...Hidden mist jutsu" the fog curled around Ikakus feet and soon spread over the stage "I will see you all soon..." He called to the others and lept through the mist and grabbed Sayuri around the waist. "they have a Ratjagon...i havent yet fought one of them...i must stay back for now" he said to her as he ran out into the dense forest that surrounded the village.

[ichijin]

OOC: So are you sure you got him? A well trained Ratjagon finds that Genjutsu is useless against them.

IN:
"Ah... Genjutsu?", said Tri, the surroundings of the Genjutsu blurred, then disappeared, a somewhat gold glow, a little like chakra appeared around him.

"Sorry, but my Soul seems to say nothing's happening. It did look like a nice place though, that realm of Genjutsu", said Tri, since he seemed to have gotten a glimpse of it. Sakuya seemed to also be unfazed as well. But within moments, he was already retreating.

"Hehe... Just because his little Genjutsu didn't work on me", taunted Ratjagon, taking note of what Ikaku had said. Turning to the Utakage and co, he inquired,

"So, are you guys alright? You all and that Ikaku seemed to be good acquaintances".

[Jadeabella]

"So, are you guys alright? You all and that Ikaku seemed to be good acquaintances". Asked Tri.

Minako was still sort of unsure of what she had seen but managed to come around. "Yeah...thanks Tri, appreciate it. Um..Ikaku was my former student but.." Minako looked sad as she continued to speak "He has an.....alter, It made him snap, he attacked Yumika and trapped him in a genjustu. I arrived to break it and was ready to kill him, but......He ran..Yumi was too injured for me to leave him..so we let him go. I'd never thought he'd return..." Minako explained in a monotone, trying to keep her tears at bay.

"In anycase...We need to figure out what he wants, even though revenge seems high up on the list....But..I.." Minako couldn't hold the tears back anymore. It hurt her for things to end the way the did and it hurt even more to see him return with nothing but hatred in his eyes. She held on to Yumika's arm and placed her head on his shoulder..

[ichijin]

IN:
"I guess this is what they call Reunion with a Vengeance", chuckled Tri. It was clear that no Genjutsu would work on him, so he'd probably be a good bet to fight against Ikaku. Besides, he knew the Sharingan had more than just illusions and Genjutsu, even though that was what it mainly used. He remembered once that one of his masters back at the clan said, "Genjutsu was refuge for the weak".

"Well, I'll just stay around here, if he throws us into Genjutsu I'll still be able to give him a carving of my fist in his face", said Tri. Sakuya was sort of the same, she used the same following of techniques that drew energy from the soul.

[HeartX]

Chou stared in excitement as she watched Ikaku use a what seemed very powerful Jutsu. "What a badass" Chou mumbled.
She pulled herself to her feet and brushed herself off.
She crossed her arms in disappointment. "Is that it; that wasn't much of a battle!" she walked forward in curiosity. "I'm gonna follow Ikaku" she laughed "That will be fun" she grinned.

Chou she hurried over just behind the stage and waited for him and Sayuri to encounter her.

[MaskOfFeathers]

Sayuri grimaced. Honestly, using a move with such a high chakra consumption, and right at the beginning of their attack? The whole point was for Ikaku to announce his return in big, bold, firey letters. Not exactly how she would have done it, but regardless, it was done. And, judging by the calm composition of his victim, it didn't even work... it made Ikaku look inexperienced and desperate, actually.
Before Sayuri could even decide what to do, she was startled by Ikaku's arm arond her waist in a tight grip.
The moment before she was carried away at the speed of sound she noticed a young girl running toward them with a devlish, albiet excited, look in her eyes. Then, they were gone.
Actually, she mused afterwards, that girl reminded her of an exuberant Ikaku.

[X.:.Scarlet.Mangekyou.:.X]

Ikaku lept into an opening of the forest and set Sayuri down. "damn...a Ratjagon...a pure Physical user...and immune to Genjutsu" He muttered "though i dont beleive the are immune to Ninjutsu...as it is still physical...but still... He threw a Kunai into the forest and said "you have been following me through the mist...come out". He drew another kunai and waited for the person to emerge.
