Evil, evil person
I'm SOOOOO sorry guys! I've been busy with stuff (My English teacher is evil), which when combined with my lazy attitude, equals little to now work done. I'll have a chapter up tonight guaranteed. And if not, I give you permission to hunt me down and string me up by my pinkies.

Chapter 5:Lookout Duty
Yoshi and Ryuu sat on the ground, watching the entrance to their comrades' hidey-hole in the cover of the forest. The two young men and their female companions worked out a schedule so that two people were always on watch and so that everyone would get an equal amount of sleep. They also decided to keep watch from the forest close by. That way, no one would be suspicious from seeing two people standing in the middle of the path. After checking that there was no one in earshot of the two shinobi, Yoshi spoke to his partner, “So what's going on between you and Kusaaijin?” Ryuu turned to his friend and spoke in a whispered tone, “You say that like we're in some kind of relationship.” “It's just that you two have been talking to each other every time we took a rest, and she blushes whenever she looks at you.” Ryuu looked up at the stars in consideration, “I don't know. I have this feeling that I've met her somewhere before,” he scratched his head, thinking, “but every time it seems that my brain is piecing the memory together, some part of it breaks. When I'm almost done piecing that part together, another one breaks, and so on.” “That sucks.” Yoshi turned his attention back to the entrance of their hideout. Both of them were quiet for several minutes before Yoshi once again broke the silence, “Maybe you met her on a previous mission. Ever been sent near the Grass Village?” Ryuu shook his head, “I don't think so. Like I said, I can't remember where I met her, but I have the feeling that we were close somehow.” Yoshi raised an eyebrow in curiosity, “Really?” He and Ryuu glanced at the path as they saw Kusaaijin come out of the ground, “Now's your chance to talk to her,” he gave his friend a pat on the path a leapt up to get some rest. The two teens looked away from each other, glancing at anything in general, in order to avoid eye contact. For the past hour and a half, they had been sitting in silence. They were practically strangers, but there was some kind of unknown tension in the air. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____ Ryuu decided that he should at least try to get to the bottom of the minor situation at hand, rather than sit in awkward silence until Akina came to take Ryuu's shift. The Sand chunin cleared his throat, which, not surprisingly, made Kusaaijin jump. “Um...Have you ever been on any missions near Sunakagure?” Kusaaijin fidgeted a little as she searched for an answer, “I-I don't think so...” “Been to any chunin exams?” Ryuu was trying to think of any place two ninjas might meet up. “One or two,” She responded, blushing slightly as she did so, “but I can't remember exactly where.” Ryuu sighed giving up his attempt to look for info. He then gave a huge yawn, as one would normally do when staying awake for several hours more than usual. Kusaaijin took the opportunity to send him away, “Y-you've been keeping watch for too long. Go g-get some sleep.” Ryuu stared at her for a few moments, then stood up to go wake up Akina. Kusaaijin kept her eyes on him as he walked. 'W-we need to tell him!' 'No! We need to stay on task!' 'B-but...' 'We stay on task! We find Narako, then we ditch these guys and find Kensaki.' 'But Ryuu needs to know!' 'NO HE DOESN'T!' “Kusaaijin?” She jumped slightly as she heard her name being called. She looked up and saw Akina standing in front of her. “Are you okay? I've been standing here for a couple seconds and you have this look on your face like you're trying to solve a math problem.” The Grass genin tried to search for the words, “Just got distracted I guess.” Akina sat down beside her, “Whatever you say. I found these scrolls in Kurai's pockets. It's info on the guys they're looking for.” She rolled the scrolls out on the grounds. Each one had the same set-up. It had a picture of the criminal, their name, and a bit of info. Crimes, village, and reward. Kusaaijin took them all into account, but her attention was focused on one man. He seemed to be the oldest of the four men pictured. He had slightly messy brown hair and blue eyes. Kusaaijin gestured towards the picture, “Who's th-that guy?” Akina picked up the scroll and read it aloud, “Zangei, no last name given, missing-nin from the Leaf, used to be a jonin, declared rougue after killing his team mates...Oh, here's something you may find interesting. One crime he's currently charged for is the murder of a team of Kusakagure ninjas.” Kusaaijin widened her eyes in surprise, “What?” “Yeah. Three were killed, but the third body was never found or identified.” Kusaaijin placed a hand on the ground looked down, and mumbled something to herself, “Maybe it wasn't....” Akina moved closer to the Grass genin, “What?' Without lifting her head, Kusaaijin spoke, “You know, I think I can handle the rest of the shift by myself. You should go get some sleep.” Akina raised her eyebrows in surprise, “No. We both need to keep watch!” “No, I insist,” Kusaaijin looked up and glared at the Sand female,“Sleep” Akina looked confused, and slightly intimidated. She then felt something punch her hand and she lifted her hand to examine it. She gasped when she saw three needles coming out of her hand. She pulled them out as she looked for the source. To her surprise, she saw a small flower growing from between Kusaaijin's fingers. The flower was opened up and still had two needles ready to go. She suddenly felt as if her bones had been replaced with lead, and she hit the ground hard. Even as she drifted into an involuntary sleep, she saw Kusaaijin stand up, and jump away.

Chapter 6:Finally! Some Action!
“.....na!......Aki.......AKINA!” Akina suddenly shot up from her sleeping position on the ground and looked at her surroundings. The sun was rising, and Yoshi was kneeling beside her with a hand on her shoulder. She was extremely groggy as she tried to remember what happened hours earlier. “What happened? Where's Kusaaijin?” Yoshi asked with a slightly worried tone. The Sand female rubbed her eyes in thought, “Kusaaijin....she....,” her eyes widened in realization as she looked at her hand, “****! Kusaaijin!” __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________ “So let me get this straight,” Kurai said, still bathing in clay, “the Genin used some kind of plant to put you to sleep, and now she's off looking for one of Kuroshi's men?” Yoshi and Akina were standing in front of the terracotta tub that Kurai was currently submerged in. Ryuu had obviously just woken up and was staring at his platoon mates in surprise. “That's the gist of it,” Yoshi said. The Stone Jonin thought for a moment, then let out a small sigh, “Looks like we're going to have to accelerate our plans a little bit,” He seemed to struggle for a bit as a few cracks started to appear in the now-hardened clay, “It's going to take me a few moments for me and Surrashu to get out of here, but for now, you three get geared up and look for your friend. We don't want her doing anything stupid.” __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________ The tall man was walking through the woods staring at the trees surrounding him. His commander had told him and the rest of his group to look for a certain man, then to rejoin at high noon. The man hadn't seen neither head nor tail of the man in question, but he still looked for him with a slight fear in his heart that his boss would kill him if he gave up. He looked at the rising sun and realized how tired he was. He gave a quick yawn to wake up slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, he noticed something was wrong with the flora around him. The man took no second thoughts and instantly realized that he was in a Genjutsu. He placed his hands together and sent a small charge of chakra through his body, “Release.” No sooner that he had done so, the trees disappeared and he was left standing in the centre of a large grassy field. He realized that he must have been trapped in the Genjutsu long ago, and tensed himself for an ambush. Seemingly out of nowhere, several flowers erupted forth from the ground, covering every inch of the field. “Cute,” the rouge mumbled to himself, catching the gentle scent of camomile, “but useless. Release.” He put his hands together and once again rid himself of the mind trick. It seemed that he was only half done though, as only a quarter of the flowers disappeared. After they did, the rest rose up, no longer attached to the ground, as if pulled up by invisible strings. He once again dismissed the illusion. Once again, only a quarter of the flowers vanished. Once they had vaporized, the group that was remaining flew towards him, spinning quite rapidly. “Pathetic. Release!” He was growing tired of these mind games and destroyed the illusion once more. He had expected that the rest of these scent-rich plants would evaporate, but instead only another fourth vanished leaving behind a still rather large group. The mystery man decided to let the illusions pass, as he was quite tired of draining his chakra, despite the gargantuan supply he had left. |Instead of passing through his body though, the first eleven or so flowers embedded themselves half-an-inch into his chest and arms. Realizing that the rest of them spinning towards him would probably kill him, he leapt out of the way with two of the bladed petals scoring light cuts on his face. The rest of the deadly plants flew off into the woods. “Impressive,” he said to anyone who was there to listen,yanking the petals out of his body“a layer of three Genjutsu covering up your actual assault. Clever, but too easy.” A voice that seemed to come from everywhere spoke back to him, “Then how come you didn't figure it out?” The shinobi snarled in anger, when suddenly the grass surrounding him shot up until it was well over his head. In an act of instinct, he pulled out a kunai and sliced it down, only to have the grass grow back. He smiled at this new development and started to perform hand signs. He was interrupted half way through when something rushed by him and cut his hand. He glanced in the direction his attacker went and threw a small handful of shuriken in the direction. Believing he had killed his target, he walked towards the area he threw the throwing stars, only to be cut once more by his mystery assailant. His anger grew with every passing second, but he decided that he needed to calm down in order to come face to face with his new enemy. He took several deep breathes, closed his eyes, and took note of the situation. The voice he heard was feminine, so the assassin was a woman, although judging by the pitch she was most likely a young girl. The jutsu she was using made him arrive at the conclusion that she was a Kusa-nin. The way she was attacking him made him think that she knew that she was weaker, so she was probably a Genin. The attacker made several more trips to cut her target with little resistance. Just when she thought that she was to strike the final blow, the man grabbed her arm and looked into her eyes. “Gotcha, rodent.” With that, he threw her into the grass at his left and preformed a small series of hand signs, “Lava Style: Lava Bullet!” he brought his fingers to his lips in the shape of a ring and blew out several spheres of lava, about the size of a human head, and they shot forward with incredible speed towards the girl he just threw. 'Now then,' he thought, performing yet another series of hand signs, 'if that didn't kill her, and to get rid of these pesky weeds...' his thoughts trailed off as he raised his head in the air, yet again bringing his hands to his mouth. “Lava Style: Lava Rainstorm!” A stream of lava shot up into the air like a geyser, and at a certain point, broke off and started to rain small droplets of molten rock onto the surrounding area, burning away the grass and hopefully killing his opponent. He saw that the latter would not be true as he saw a small fountain of water extinguish the oncoming lava. He ceased his jutsu when he saw that a majority of the grass had been burnt away. Any that was left retracted into the ground. He saw his attacker standing in a fighting stance with a kunai knife in each hand and chuckled. “You must be pretty stupid or brave to attack me. Either that or you don't know who I am.” Kusaaijin glared at the missing nin with anger in her eyes, “You are Zangei formerly of the Leaf, are you not?" At the mention of his name, Zangei laughed, “So you're just stupid then?” he bent his knees slightly in preparation for his assault, “So tell me, what is your name?” Kusaaijin shifted her position slightly, “I don't need to tell you that.” “Oh, but you do! That way...” Zangei leaped at her with great speed, “That way I'll know what to carve into your tombstone!”
