animosity [c][invite-only]

[chiatsuki]

The sun had begun to settle amongst the horizon. Gods eye, half opened, bringing forth a new dusk… and with it the appearance of Leaf’s Domo- the Chiatsuki. Much like the symbolic irony in the sun being within the center of the horizon, the ‘half opened eye’, Au’s own hues rested in a dismal state.

Within an open field perched upon a bench he sat, his left hand barely holding onto the hilt of his kodaichi as his right struggled to keep him from falling down entirely.

“Nothing ever happens in this god-forsaken country..”

His words cooed within the open field- a frightening wind pulling him to an upright poise within his seat. He had been daydreaming off and on, his plans coming together piece by piece in his last days as a kage. With an exasperate sigh he would beckon forth an urgency to stand after deciding it was time to meet with his younger brother, Ran-Chi.

[Pwn]

The dawn of the sun carried his humble abode down the path toward tranquility. Nemuru had been looking for something new to get into. His previous hobby had not provided him much when it came to pay. Money had been the root of all that is evil, but he remained attached to them, hoping to obtain his share. Hi no Kuni had been a lavish place, many trees dotting its landscape, covering its entire mass. As the sunrays peeked through the opaque canopy, he traveled onward down a road.

This road had been clear, with little debris, aside from your few rocks here and there. It had been five meters wide, with grass meeting its border. Up ahead, he can to an open field, and congregated with its body had been a man, perhaps resting. Considering it best not to startle him, Nemuru took dampened steps, and gradually approached the man. He stepped to the right side of the man, facing toward him. Waving his hand across the eyes of the man, he smiled.

“Aye,” Nemuru whispered, intent on meeting his quota. He stepped back a few feet to allow the man to stand up if he pleased. Regardless, his hand would be held out either for the man, to shake or for him to be given a lift.

Dressed in an all white long-john looking uniform in the middle of nowhere it was hard to have not been spotted, even here amongst the approaching night. Upon his chest a black vest covered his torso, and beneath his waist a satchel-like belt remained tightly fixed. Unbeknownst to the chiatsuki he was not alone – and so as he arose to full height, turning into the path of a stranger, he would become startled; hopping onto the bench behind him as he attempted to secure himself from whatever it was that had shaken him.

“Aye.”

Even though whispered through the mouth with a whimpering voice he still kept his distance from it. Au’s abysmal hues meditated the boys figure as he stood atop the bench; his blonde hair and purple bandanna standing out exponentially. Although he hadn’t seen many shinobi wear such frivolous colors before Au was never one to question another’s motives.. especially if they weren’t harming society.

With an exhale the chuunin would let loose all worries and doubts of having been attacked and would calmly gaze upon the boys figure after a few subtle moments.

“What?”

Words retorted to the stranger with cocked brows and a tilted head. A simple word aimed at questioning the motive of their spontaneous ‘meet’. Although calmed in spirit Au’s nature always portrayed the image of an unwelcoming brute; needless to say he was always alert. Draped in anxiety the uchiha would inquire amongst his thoughts as he awaited the response of this mist ninja.

[Pwn]

“Sup?” he inquired, mimicking the body language displayed by the man as he tucked his hands into his pockets, thumbs protruding out to cling their sides. He looked up, eyes tracking the sun retreat behind the mountains. Darkness had begun to swallow them, both individuals now deep within its belly. Turning his head back to the man, he waited for a response, staring at him with inquisitive eyes, waiting for the conversing to begin.

Slightly perturbed by the response given, Young Au would allow even more time to spread between their words. As he continued to analyze the strangers figure his eyes would begin to flicker a deep red, lighting up in incriments, off and on, as if ‘flicking’ into a synchronization. Within each transition the ‘flicking’ would begin to increase in speed until finally its light dawned fully upon him.

The image of the stranger would now become dull blue within his eyesight, bringing forth a new light to their darkness. As the last sheet of morning passed, bringing forth a pitch-black blanket around them both, Au’s hands would come together in sequence as the stranger pocketed his own.

“What do you want?”

He would ask- and in the moments of his contort the words would seemingly echo around them as his eyes lurked upon him.

“Relax,” Nemuru stern in his tone as he peered into the man’s trasitioning eyes, their new form that of the notorious Uchiha Clan. He had just recently killed one within their ranks. He did not like any of their kind, but perhaps this man was different. He could appreciate kindness, though he would not tolerate hostility. All he wanted to do was make it to his next location, Konohagakure no Sato. If this man knew something, he would find out.

“I’m searching for Konohagakure,” he inquired, right eyebrow raised, looking away to prevent from being entrapped within a glare. He stepped back a little more, now about a meter far, crossing his arms, prepared to strike if threatened. Once he got his answer, he would leave.

For longer than he could remember he had been the same. The world they both lived in was a treacherous one, one that kept only the most serene of shinobi on edge. Au was bred from the street and only learned to trust those who were straightforward. Coupled with the fact that he was alone on the outskirt of his village only added flame to the fuel. Au knew that the man before him was a foreigner, his attire spoke more of it than his headband.

The uchiha brat would have had the boy within the palm of his hands in the moment he’d made eye contact with him if it were not for his choice of words.

“Relax, I’m just searching for Konohagakure.”

His hands would calmly glide to their sides as the boy spoke. Au could tell that his accent was slightly different than most he had encountered- it made him wonder what country he had hailed from, and why he was seeking the village of fire.

“What makes you think I would reveal it so easily..? Where are you from?” he’d retort..

Seconds would dwindle as they exchanged looks of nervousness- a first impression was always key in forming relationships. The chuunin did not quite know if the one before him was even capable of being useful.. it was why he continued to act so decimate. Patiently awaiting an answer young Au would await with arms folded. Would this man give him any reason to attack? Or was he here on terms of peace?

“My home is none of your concern,” eyes shifting across the visage of the Uchiha, Nemuru intently analyzed the man, noticing him sliding his hands down to the side through a subtle gaze. Lowering his arm to the tanto holstered upon his waist by an obi sash, he had been prepared to strike. He did not want their encounter to be this way, but if the man continued with bodily signs of hostility, he would not hesitate to act. Stepping back once more, he looked down.

Seconds passed by like eons to a century as he awaited the answer of the newcomer. If he was here on terms of peace- Au was sure he would have already said so. Though normally it would have given him a reason to strike.. he still allowed time in repairing the bridge they both waltzed upon. Would he continue with his barbarous remarks… or would he finally shine light to his own agenda?

“My home is none of your concern..”

A double edged comment contorted from the shinobi to his front. Au was more-so disturbed at the fact that this man wished to find his home- yet would not reveal his own. Perhaps he were not here on terms of peace… he might have even been here on the acquisition of his own selfish fortitudes. Either way – his response had built in an uncertainty with the uchiha. A smile would façade his features as the boys hand moved upon a blade attached to the hip.

“Then I am sorry boy- your journey for the village of leaf will end here..”

Without much intent Au would have kept a stern glare as the boy moved back just a couple of feet.. his hand still resting upon a hilt. (This guy is weird..) he would say amongst his own as he too mimicked the movements of the stranger in perfect symphony. If the young boy was going to attack he might as well had done it in the moment he spoke... Left hilt upon his own blade the uchiha would await an answer as his right hand dwindled upon a few peppered shuriken.

“There’s only two ways you’ll get in. One will be by death or capture- the other way will most likely involve you telling me where it is you’ve come from, and your objective…”

Happenstance —

---

The world would fall black as a globe of darkness descended upon the land, covering an expanse that would be 100 x 100m, both encasing whatever it touched and trapping it within it's depths. An onlooker would see no more a change in the environment then would be usual on any given day, but would be compelled by forces unknown to never approach the globe's radius. However, it would not matter if they did or didn't — for a duality had occurred; a sort of merging of worlds that only happened on particular days of the October month, any being living or dead that had not been inside of the globe upon it's creation would immediately find itself on the other side of the globe. They could never penetrate it's depths and likewise for those stuck inside, never could they leave until the challenge was met.

Inside the globe the world was different and the environment had changed. The sun had been replaced by a moon both bloodied and immense, serving as the only sort of illumination. There was a sort of darkness here that permeated all things that could seemingly not be extinguished. No manner of dojutsu or special jutsu of that of a ninja could illuminate this darkness, yet the illumination of any normal technological device could. The area too had been changed, turned into a four-way road each going in a respective cardinal direction from a central point. Outside of these stretches of road — which went on to the edge of the globe, lied only heavy forest and near pitch-black darkness.

There were no signs of anything until the howl of a wolf and the return howl of it's pack. A perceptive individual would pick up a singular howl responded by two individual howls, each seemingly less verbose and of singular meaning. Eyes hidden by darkness watched the two shinobi now standing in the very middle of the road, equidistant both to one another and each fork of road. The crunching of leaves under foot and pad could be heard behind Chiatsuki, within the depths of darkness that was the forested area.

[Pwn]

Night had marched forward, its general the Moon and the soldiers the Stars. Darkness their weapon, Nemuru’s area had been completely swallowed, him and the man stationary in its center. There had been four paths, visible up to five meters away before being blanketed off by the shadows. He could hear the sound of wolves, first one, then two more following. Releasing his hand from the hilt of his tanto, he began performing seals. He slipped his hands into his satchel, as five parchments began to glow. Placing his back to the man’s back, he faced north, while keeping his peripherals locked on the west and east, prepared to strike.

Amongst their own shadow a newfound breed of darkness would have silhouetted them both in the moment of returning glares. Two worlds would emerge as one- and in the eyes of the sharingan all that could be seen were blankets of black pelting their figures. It was not an illusion, his eyes were too adept to have been captured.

“Uhh…”

.. a sound dignifying the confusion which came with the howling of a ‘wolf’. At full alert the chuunin would begin turning his head in hopes to fore-sighting the origin of each howl; behind the first a coalition of two smaller voices would have created a second howl.

“I’m not sure what’s going on here… but we’ll have to work together if we’re going to make it out of here..” he’d say as his hands stay wrapped around the shuriken in his pocket.

As he spoke.. an indistinct sound, like the crunching of leaves upon a decadent, crackling earth, would have echoed from behind Chiatsuki’s position. He would turn fully to meet with whatever it was that was approaching them as the boy he had just met pressed against his back with his own. In symmetry they stood.. awaiting the challenge in angst.

[Comatose]

Being ready and waiting the emergence of their foe would not afford them any extra convenience or an upper hand against the pure terror that would step out from those shadows. Slowly an animal form took substantiation against the darkness, appearing only once it stepped out into the trail. It was a small canine, a wolf upon further inspection, no more than a pup.

The pup — watching the pair of shinobi yet seemingly uncaring of their presence, padded over to a tree to mark it's territory. It's leg lifted to allow for a single sprinkle of liquid to leave a scent that would tell all other canine's that this was it's territory. It did not move after this action, as if both waiting and testing the duo's resolve, to see if they had the gall to approach it.

However, in just a few seconds time there would be an explosion of gore of a ferocity only observed in nature. A man, not beast, jumped and landed upon the pup with the full weight of his body, his hand holding down it's neck as if claw and his teeth bared as if fangs. The force applied to it's neck increased, the pup snapping wildly and fruitlessly, until finally it's neck snapped and blood spewed out from it's maw.

The man stood over his kill with indifference before his own wolf companion stepped from the shadows — a full grown grey wolf. The man himself resembled so his wolf companion, tall with a gruffy and rather scruffy exterior. With a roar meant to both intimidate and strike fear into the shinobi he dropped down to all fours, mutating into something of legend, a full-fledged Werewolf. His entire body shifted to resemble entirely the wolf companion by his side, though retaining seemingly bipdeal characteristics of a humanoid in his hind legs — he could stand on them if necessary, and his hands — he still had apposable thumbs.



Without further provocation the duo attacked, launching themselves at the pair, the man turned beast attacking Chiatsuki and his wolf companion going after Nemuru. They spun, almost like tops, the rotational force and five meter distance from their foes making the attack particularly deadly if the pair did not dodge in time.

It had all happened suddenly, the emergence of a pup marking its territory only to be pounced by a man. The man easily snapped its neck after gripping it tightly and applying force. Nemuru watched as a wolf appeared from the shadows, accompanying the man. It roared at him and his accomplice, but he had been far from scared. He did not even bat an eye, only smirking with the thought of eliminating the two. Once the man transformed, and both started their spin, he raised his arm.

He had crouched, causing them to twist above him. Using his free hand, he clasped the hilt of his sword, stabbing upward at the wolf, using its velocity to tear through the flesh of its skin. Directing his parchments from his satchel, he flung two at its belly, and sent the rest to latch upon the man. Shifting five meters behind the wolf, facing toward his ally, he performed the single seal he needed. By the time both of his enemies landed, the notes upon their body would be detonated.
