Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Ok, theres been a bit of a skip since my last exerpt. A little summery is that when Sakai and Shizukie got into the building, Sakai got hurt, which drove Shizukie into madness, allowing the Sickness to overcome his body. Since then, he has been on a hunt to find the Six wepons, his Sword, Setsu's Kwan Dao (obtained), Yui's Scimitar, Kaze's Scythe, Tatsuno's Staff, and Sakai's Sword. Guess who he's after from the title! This is gonna be a long one guys.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He was running through the forest. The chakras he was sensing were near, and he hungered for the battle they would bring. He might even kill them...
"Shizukie!"
He stopped. That was the name of the body he was in. Shizukie. The insolent boy who had kept him at bay for over a decade and a half, with the help of his pet dragon. Well, the dragon had been beaten, he was a threat no more. He had even kept the dragons ultimate eye...
Not more then twewnty yards away stood two figues. Each had green hair, one spikey, the other flat, and wet looking.
"Tatsuno and Kaze! What a pleasent suprise! What brings you here?" Shizuie asked with a smile.
"Cut the crap Shizukie" Kaze shouted. "We know whats going on. We've seen what you did to Setsu. You even have her Kwan Dao on you back!"
Shizukie's smile fell and was replaced with a scowl. His face became hard and sharp like metal.
"Very well." Shizukie rasped "You've saved me the troube of finding you and taking your wepons." He said with a twisted smile on his face.
"Over my dead body!" Spat Kaze
"Thats the plan."
"Well" Tatsuno spoke for the first time, with a smirk "We brought some... friends... And they might think otherwise."
"Oh. Do you mean the five ANBU Black Ops behind me?" Shizukie questioned as the smile slid from Tatsuno's Face.
Indeed, five ANBU Black Ops agents had been sent with Tatsuno and Kaze to help bring down Shizukie, each with their own respective mask.
Shizukie was gone in a flash, disappearing from out of sight.
"Where did he go?" asked on of the agents.
"No idea" replyed another "I can't sense his chakra anywhere".
"Tatsuno" Kaze began "Can you sense where..."
Shizukie was back, behind the ANBU agents. He kicked the one in the midde forwards, and punched the one on either side. Finally, grabbing the final two, he slammed them together.
"Great" Tatsuno groaned "They could have punched him or something."
"No matter. Guess we'll have to do" Kaze replyed " On three then?"
"One....two...three! Gai Jen Cho!" They cried as they slammed their palms in the ground. As they raised them, lightning shot from the ground and their hands as the justsu's were activated. From the ground, Tatsuno drew his staff while Kaze drew his scythe.
"Simple enought. I always just keep mine with me" Shizukie stated, drawing his sword from its sheth. "Better use them while you can. After this, they will be mine"
"Bring it" Tatsuno said with a twirl of his staff.
"Fine!"
Shizukie's chakra expelled from his body. It poured out of him like a black river. Likewise, Tatsuno's purple chakra and Kaze's green whiped from their bodys. The air became heavy with chakra, crushing nearby stones.
Tatsuno lunged forward, swinging his staff at Shizukie, who parried the staff with his sword and then kicked Tatsuno in the stomach and sent him flying.
Kaze shot forward, thrusting his scythe like a lance. Shizukie countered the blade. The the blades were thrust into each other, trying to force the other back. The sound of metal scraping on metal could be heard every where.
" You know, after I deal with you two, its Yui, then finally Sakai" Shizukie informed Kaze with malice, who went wide eyed. " Yes, and when I finally aquire all the wepons, who knows? I may finish a couple of villages. Definetly Konoha. That place has got to go. Havent decided if I'm going to kill her yet. Sakai, I mean of course. I may make her watch as I destroy the first place she called "home". Or I could just..."
"Earth style! Stone Pillar Forest Justu!"
Stone pillars began to rise out of the grouned. Shizukie and Kaze were forced to split as a pillar forced itself inbetween them. Kaze took this time to regroup, running through and dodging the upcoming pillars. He sensed Tatsuno's chakra, and headed twords it. Tatsuno was just outside the clearing. He was on one knee, a palm on the ground. His eyes were white. Obviously, Tatsuno activated the Jutsu.
"Will it keep him long?" Kaze questioned.
"No idea" grunted Tatsuno "He's much stronger than any of us anticipated. The Sickness is taking more control of him. We've got to stop him soon."
"Genbu Kaiden!"
One of Tatsuno's pillars exploded as Shizukie's attack made contact with it.
"Where are you, my little green haired rabbits? Did you run far away? I don't think so. Come out! Genbu Kaiden!" Another pillar exploded.
"Let's take him! The both of us, at once!" Kaze said.
"Kaze, I dunno if you've noticed, but we're not exactly the best of teams. We can barely get through a day without arguing."
"What other choice do we have?"
Tatsuno said nothing, but deactivated the Jutsu. The pillars would stay up for 24 hours, and would hopefully help. " Lets go" he said.
"No need. I've already found you!" Shizukie cried. He slashed down on Tatsuno, but was met with Kaze's scythe. " So you want to go first eh? So be it!" He turned his attention to Kaze and began his onslaught.
Shizukie slices at Kaze were barely parried, hardly giving Kaze time to attack back. He was driven back from Shizukie's force. Suddenly, Tatsuno's staff slammed down on Shizukie's back. With the force, normally Shizukie's back would have been broken. Instead, Shizukie slowly turned around and grasped Tatsuno's staff, and flung him into a tree, knocking him unconscious. He then turned to Kaze.
" I'm done playing! Mezuka Illusion!" He cried as the power of Mezuka's Ultimate Eye activated.
Kaze was in a field. There was a lake too. No one was there, but when he turned around, there was Sakai.
"Hey" He said with a smile.
"Kaze, I need to talk to you"
"Sure, what is it."
"Kaze, I don't want you around me anymore. Your too weak. You couldn't even beat Shizukie. If Tatsuno hadn't saved you, you would have been killed. I can't risk being in a fight and you not being able to protect me. This is goodbye."
" Wait, Sakai no! That's not what happened!"
Sakai was swallowed up by the earth around her. Instead, there was Kaze's father. He was bloody, and wounded.
"Kaze... why? You could have helped me!"
"Dad? What are you talking about? I was only four!"
"Its your fault Kaze! Your fault! And your mother! You killed her! It's your fault!" He cried at Kaze.
"No. NO!! It's not my fault! It's not!" Kaze screamed. He tried to cover his face with his hands, but they were covered in blood. The world went black.....
"That takes care of him" Shizukie chuckled darkly. " Lets try for the other unconscious one"
He walked over to Tatsuno and lifted the boys head.
"Mezuka Illusion!"
Tatsuno woke with a start. He looked around. There was only Sakai. She was standing under a tree, laughing.
"Tatsuno, come here!" She said with a laugh.
Tatsuno got up and began to walk to Sakai. Still laughing she beckoned him closer. As he got closer, suddenly Sakai fell. Tatsuno sprinted to her, but she was already bleeding.
"Tatsuno" Sakai coughed "Tatsuno why? Why couldn't you protect me, why did I have to die? Why Tatsuno?!?! WHY?!?!"
"NO!!! ITS NOT MY FAULT! Im sorry! Sakai, I'm... sorry...." and Tatsuno began to shake, he turned away from Sakai, trying to get the image out of his head. But he was in a storeroom now. His family storeroom.
"No. NO!" It was happening again. His curse. His past was coming back to haunt him. "No! I didn't mean to go into the storeroom! I'm sorry! Please, please stop!" And Tatsuno's world too, became black.
"Well" Shizukie said said, standing up and wiping the dust off his hands, "That was easier then I thought it would be. I'll just take these" And with that, he stripped the boys of their weapons, strapped them on his back, and walked away.
"Now, onto Yui, my sweet"
