Info; So Yoshi asked me to redo/continue his questing for the Hunter-nin Profession since Strider hasn't been posting in his old one, so yeah. Closed to all except for Yoshi.

I watched as the moon still illuminated the sky. I had a soft spot for the moon since something about it screamed a weird kinship to me. As if my darkness was equal. . . no more like eclipsed completely by the radiance of the moon. The reason for my little outdoor stroll as a simple one at best to attend my meeting. The meeting was for a talk with the head hunter ninja of kirigakure. No doubt this would be talks toward the exam I had practically asked for all of my life.

The gentle breeze within the night was something that I loved. It was a signal to my lissom snake body that I was still alive. My blood gaze stared at a shadowy figure within the mist. No doubt this would be the man known as Han. My breath was taken away at the sight of such a powerful man. His abilities no doubt had caused him to become the lead hunter ninja within kirigakure for a reason, and I would learn from him then usurp his very power.

A devious smile was soon contained upon my face as I was now a meter away from the man. I could clearly see the man in full view and what had impressed me before was now tripled. He was handsome and dare I say unbelievably cute and so young looking. But I didn't have a crush on the old fuck because he was nothing compared to my Nii-san in looks. Once I came to a stop I bowed in front of the honorable and ruthless killer in front of me, and as the saying goes power respects power but money overpowers all.

"Oh my, I surely hope I wasn't late to this beautiful get together. Hmm, Han-Sama?"

And as Han had predicted the young Kage=Hebi had arrived right on time...early even. Despite this his face remained blank if not a bit on the negative of emotions side. Bringing his arms across his chest he'd fold them over and under one another as he stood tall and awaited for the boy to become fully visible before he chose to speak. It would perhaps seem odd to the boy that Han chose not to wear a mask as many if not most other Hunter-nin chose to. Instead he chose to wear an attire that offered a low handing hood to conceal the upper portion of his face, thus hiding his true identity. His focus on the approaching young shinobi his eyes would narrow a bit to take in every detail, the way he moved, his attire, his emotions, anything and everything. Everyone[/u] was like a book to Han, just waiting to be read from cover to cover.

Listening to Naraku speak Han would unfold his arms and drop them to his sides as he waited. And once the boy was done speaking, so did Han begin to. "Early, as expected. Anything less would show that you don't take the organization seriously."[/color] At this point Han would have given a slight bow, but he didn't, he had no reason to bow to a child no matter their skill. Respect and honour were given when they were deserved. And right now it was not something Naraku had from Han, but Han expected the boy to earn them within the day. "You have shown interest in becoming a Hunter-nin of Kirigakure is this correct? And you know the requirements to gain your license and position within the organization correct?"[/color]

His words carried great merit and a sense of honor. I hadn't know such honor and I doubt I ever would, however I could fake it for this task. The man's face was obscured by the hooded robes in the same way mine was. I loved the fur on his since mine was just snake motifs along mine. I didn't bow again as I began to speak once more, and he would know the determination dripping along every single last word. I was willing to murder and kill anyone including him if my test demanded it to be done.

"I'm willing and ready to compete and do my best within the testing. I want to become oinin more then anything within my because of my purpose. A snake must hunt to even exist and without the hunt a snake can do nothing but die."

[/right]My determination was real and was to a point I was deadly serious. Murder was never something which bother me at all because of my brothers. And especially kirgakure people, ninja, or hunters, this higher nation would need to pay for it's crimes one day. Once I attain the power I needed revenge would be a dish best served cold to all who I must destroy in the future. What they did to my father would be revealed in this test. . . my determination to capture and kill my targets and then bring back there heads as trophies.

Giving the faintest of grins as he half laughed Han would watch and listen to the boy a bit more before taking his turn to. During the pause he'd wonder why the boy assumed one had to be a shinobi to become a Hunter-nin, sure the skills one would learn as a shinobi would help out, but Han knew plenty of non-shinobi individuals who were Hunter-nin. But, at least the boy wasn't all that ignorant, he knew there was a test in place and showed his eagerness to start it. Giving the boy a quick nod he'd begin to speak. "Yes...it starts now...While the majority of tests involve mock targets, you have the opportunity to show your true worth by hunting down a rogue group of Hunter-nin who have defected from the village. They're holding up in the old Cold-Water Keep on one of the neighboring islands. And while this was originally my assignment, I've been allowed by the Mizukage himself to offer it to you instead, as your initiation test."[/color]

Pausing to let the information sink into the boy's head he'd watch for emotional reactions. "The group consists of four fresh Hunter-nin, while the threat is still considerable, you should do just fine...But, if you fail then don't bother petitioning for another test."[/color] Coldness was within his tone, his words ice. Yet they weren't meant to hurt the boy, they were meant to mold him into a focused killer, not some raving lunatic who got a high off of causing others suffering. "If you accept, I'd suggest leaving now, you have until the sun sets..."[/color] And as his final words surrounded the area, the sun slowly began to rise in the distance. Walking backwards slowly Han would soon vanish within the mist, leaving Naraku to either accept the test or decline it.

What would he do?!

The breeze all but disappeared as Han began to speak once more to me. Absolutely no feelings were found within the mans words. This mission or in other words my test would be on the level of the highest hunter ninja. I didn't feel honored that the sack of shit Mizukage would be the one to thank for such and exciting mission. Yet once fully processed there were other things unaccounted for at this moment. There were four highly trained Oinin who decided to just go rogue. Traitors to the village are given harsh and unforgivable deaths and I would give them such even if I held the same sentiment as them.

"There heads will make a beautiful trophy when my mission is finished."

[/right] I watched as he disappeared into the mist a trait I would soon have to learn as well. Time was wasting and I began to run outward going straight forward towards the village gates. I already knew which one of the islands near Kirigakure would be the most hospitable for and escape route towards the lower nations. That would be the first place a ninja who has just turned rogue would go to a place where ninja who were nuke wouldn't be hassled as much. I dashed forward into the mist the next stop would be me heading straight to that island and starting the test which would change my life. Or if I did something wrong in the long run it would be ended and my brothers would deem me a failure.

Adal found himself near the walls that surrounded the village, consumed entirely by the mist he could see them, but they couldn't see him...and he knew it. By now all of the tracker and sensor shinobi were all back within the "safety" of the village after their locating Adlar and other's "hideout". But, did they really think that it would be so easy? Sure Adlar and the others were fresh Hunter-nin, but they had experience due to their age. None of them were shy of their late teens, with a few in their early twenties. Nonetheless Adlar had taken it upon himself to stay near the village to keep an eye on things just in case something big was planned for their capture and deaths. He had contacts still within the village and when word reached his ears that the legendary Han was coming after them he knew he had to be on his toes. Yet when the same contact had told him that Han was planning on sending a hopeful in his stead, Adlar had to see things for himself. So he was scouting as well as waiting. And when a single figure left the confines of the village he'd wait a few minutes and with no sight of Han or anyone for that matter following the boy, Adlar would begin to pursue from a distance that put him and the hopeful a notable distance apart
With the boy having such a lead he'd have no hope of knowing Adlar was tailing him, but Adlar found it easy to track the boy as he knew where he was headed after-all.

---

"This boredom shit is already killing me man. Why does Croc think his contact in the organization is so reliable? We're the targets now, why would they offer Croc the truth?"[/color]

Taking in the responses of the others, Hawk and Liger, Jackel found himself quickly turning away. Being the youngest of the group and the more childish one he was treated "differently" from the others. And despite how much he hated it, he knew his place. He owed them his life as they had saved him during his failure of his part of the planned escape of the village. Rubbing the back of his neck he lowered his hood before glancing back up to the twins. "Well, if it is true, do you really think Han himself would come after us? I mean...I don't think we'd stand a..."[/color] A quick flying kick shut Jackel right up as he fell backwards and rolled until he was standing back up, his wall slammed against the wall behind him.

"S...soryy...I'm just still second guessing this...maybe it's the fear..."[/color]

"Use that fear you coward, it's a profitable weapon for your kind."

---

Standing on the ledge he found himself on, Liger let his eyes wander aimlessly about the mist in the distance. It stopped about thirty meters from the old Cold-Water Keep itself, but nonetheless without Croc there it made tracking things within it at the distance they were...Well uncomfortable to say the least. Despite this he didn't fear anything, something he couild not say about the babbling Jackel. He was more like little dog who had "Little-Man" syndrome until he was faced with certain individuals and right now that individual was Han. A legend not only within Hunter-nin, but Kirigakure herself. Yet, even the man's acts couldn't make the majority of the group budge, though they knew he could kill them, they were wise enough to not let it happen.

Watching his brother Hawk lash out at Jackel he couldn't help, but sigh and wave him off. "Oh leave him alone Hawk, once the adrenaline gets pumping he'll fight, you know it...Nonetheless, Jackel you need to really lose this whole coward thing, I'd rather deal with your little-man syndrome all the time."[/color] Rolling his shoulders he'd flick his wrist, causing a blade to come forth. "Jackel go back inside, Hawk go out and scout to the West, I'll hide in front of the keep."[/color] And with that they all speedily went their own ways, with Liger jumping to one of the various trees in front of the keep, perfectly hidden.

---

Gritting his teeth as he kicked Jackel to the wall he'd stay his hand when his brother spoke. Growling a bit he'd turn and roll his shoulders before returning to the middle ledge he had been at. The kid really got on his nerves, he considered him a child despite the minor age difference between the two. Rubbing his hands against one another he'd peer out into the distance as he continued to wait...wait for Han. He wanted nothing more than to be the one who ended the old man's life and take all the glory that came with the kill. He'd be the new legend. Grinning at the thought he'd tilt his head as his brother's words broke his train of thoughts. Yet, without any arguing or pause he'd nod and quickly launch himself to the ground before taking off in a sprint, taking to scouting out the Western area of the keep.

This was my first mission so I needed to think things out and rushing into battle wasn't a good idea. I began to think about all the scenarios I would face fighting highly trained tracker ninja. There would be no doubt there strong hold would be have falcons ( reconnaissance nin/ look outs ). I dashed as fast as I could along the swampy mist and tree line making sure to duck in and out of the tree line. There was no reason to go straight forward into and area that would be retarded if there were traps lying around.

My strategy for handling them would be simple, utterly rending them all asunder under my poisonous grasp. Or I could do something better and just break all of there necks before electrocuting there bodies until they couldn't move anymore. I need to be lucky and get them all in the same place at the same time so I could destroy them all at once. I didn't need any of them to escape or even worse for there to be something I wasn't told and they had a small gang of others with them.

This mission ran a high risk of my body ending up never being found if I failed. Or if I struck the right bargain with me leaving kirigakure along with them. Or I could kill them all with the latter, yet this was nothing more then assumptions that they wouldn't have knowledge of my coming. They were highly intelligent and dangerous but I was the demon of the mist and there deaths will be swift. I began to seal trying to prep the kagura's minds eye sensory ninjutsu which would help me greatly. I would be able to check the chakra signatures of everything within the area and such a thing would help me find them fast.

Highest rank known also determines detection time, as well as the amount of chakra-related masteries needed in order for that level of Kagura to be reached.

A few minutes passed before Liger could even see anything, but once he did he'd rise from his camouflage and step out into the open. Walking forward he'd choose to face his enemy head on rather then wait. It wasn't Han, it was a child. They had sent a child after the four of them...was this some sort of joke?! Gritting his teeth and clenching his right hand into a tight fist his walk would slowly turn into a speedy jog as he vanished within the mist and aimed to cut off the young boy's advancement. And it was not until Liger helped cut the distance between the two to ten meters did he slide to a halt.

"They've sent a kid in Han's stay? I've never been so disrespected in my entire life..."[/color]

Spitting at the ground he'd quick he'd begin to roll his large shoulders before taking to the orthodox fighting stance of The Gentle Fist. In doing so he set himself up easily for the single harsh step he took before his right hand was thrown forward, sending forth an invisible wave of chakra at the young boy. This boy would learn that Liger was no mere test to pass. The boy
s advancement would stop here, he had no chance to reach the others.

Description: With enough intense, repetitive training, the Hyuuga is able to extend the range of their Byakugan even more. Although their detection powers remain the same, the are able to cover larger amounts of grounds, making them an even greater asset.

Knock-back is determined by halving the user's maximum Palm range. Chakra can pass through solid defenses up to 5 meters, and can damage tenketsu, causing internal damage.
Description: Once the Hyuuga understands the art of summoning energy all at once into a single, fine strike, they are able to execute with the same precision, but from a distance. Extending chakra from their body, the Hyuuga will thrust their palm at the target, sending out an invisible wave of chakra that can knock the opponent back greatly. Worst of all, should this burst strike the victim's tenketsu, they shall be paralyzed.
Domain: Hyuuga. Must know Hakke Negi.

I detected a form with my kagura's eye straight ahead of me, the form was hazy at best even with the power I had. I opened my eyes completely dismissing the jutsu all together before it could really take effect. I stopped my forward dash when a figure appeared out of thin-air, and that wasn't good to be taken by surprise. I saw the shadowy figure as about ten meters away from my initial point. The shadowy visage began to move with enough speed that it would seem the very air dispersed when he punched forward.

I tucked my legs and barrel rolled sideways as fast as I could. My roll was aimed to my left in a sideways evasive maneuver. If the barrel rolling worked I would come to my feet eager to destroy the bastard who just tried to literally kill me. No doubt this bastard would be one of the hunters I had to take into custody. I was five meters to his left but also ten meters from him, however that would all change as I began to dash in a linear pattern making sure to have complete eye contact with the bastard in question.

I began to seal as fast as I could, and began to meld together a C rank amount of chakra towards my attack. The four seals in question took little time to create and even less time to implement. I opened my mouth before firing ten small chakra nails at the shadowy visage. I was at least five meters to the right of him and five meters away from him when I began firing the nails. This wasn't the end of my assault as I had begun to prep two kunai with two explosive notes upon them each.

I had them at the ready if he decided to come towards me to engage in hand to hand combat. This was my first real fight with someone of and extremely high caliber. My only hope was that he was the only bastard that was around seeing as fighting another one after being almost blind sighted would be hard to do. I needed time to fully analyze this bastards abilities, yet there was one thing for sure taijutsu was out of the question. Except it wouldn't be impossible for the sexiest dragon within all the lands.

I tucked my legs and barrel rolled sideways as fast as I could. My roll was aimed to my left in a sideways evasive maneuver.

There!

The aspiring Hunter-nin had made a fatal mistake. In Liger's eyes a barrel though, while some would view it useful, was just as bad as putting oneself in mid-air...defenseless. As soon as their feet had left the ground to begin their roll Liger was on them like a tick on a hound. Exploding forward with speed he'd activate his Hakke range and The Gentle Fist fighting style of his heritage he'd begin to unleash a furious combo of attacks. The middle and pointer fingers of each of his hands had become his spears and the young Kirigakure boy before him was nothing, but a test dummy to take the strikes, leaving Liger nothing to worry about. And if Liger connected with his blows the boy's barrel roll would have been ended prematurely, leaving him on the ground, paralyzed and unable to use Ninjutsu¹.

If not then he'd merely conitnue to unleash another set of Thirty-Two Palms. This was child's play for Liger, but he took it seriously. The anger of a child being sent after them was a mockery. Where was Han? Where was the real challenge? Why send this...this boy?! Gritting his teeth he'd aim to seal the boy's fate before he even was able to reach puberty.

Byakugan^active
chakra reduction; level 2

¹ = Kage-Hebi techniques

Ichigan (Gaze Extension)
Rank: Bx5
Type: Doujutsu / Passive
Range: See special!
Special: Extends Byakugan range by 10 meters each time retrained.
Description: With enough intense, repetitive training, the Hyuuga is able to extend the range of their Byakugan even more. Although their detection powers remain the same, the are able to cover larger amounts of grounds, making them an even greater asset.

Sogensenshi (Chakra Nature)
Rank: Bx3 [lightning, fire, sound]
Type: Doujutsu / Supplementary
Range: Byakugan
Special: 'B' ranked version reveals Basic Releases, while 'A' ranked version reveals Kekkei Touta. Must re-train multiple times in order to detect all releases.
Description: One of the perks behind Byakugan is its ability to read the chakra nature before it. Rather than simply seeing flowing energy all at once, the Hyuuga now learns to distinguish each release by a unique color coding only they can see. Best of all, as an opponent prepares a jutsu from a particular elemental nature already known to the clan member, the chakra traces burst forth, affording the user a small window of anticipation.
Domain: Hyuuga.

Shunpo (Flashing Light Steps)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu / High-Speed Movement
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Stamina: Low
Special: Shunpo is a high-speed movement in which the user travels in a linear fashion from one point to another. Usually facilitated with some sort of distraction (smoke bomb, explosion, or something of that nature to obscure one's vision), the user of the Shunpo can, in some cases, appear to have simply teleported from one location to another. The user can Shunpo once per thread, plus once more each time retrained. One cannot attack or perform techniques during Shunpo.
Description: Shunpo, a Taijutsu master's response to the Body Flicker Technique, relies solely on the user's ability to harness their inner ki and gain enough stamina to withstand the sudden strain imposed on one's legs. However, once properly trained, the Taijutsu Type will find their legs moving at speeds unknown to common man, to the point most would make the foolish mistake of assuming one is using Shunshin. However, unlike that chakra inspired run, Shunpo is pure stamina and movement skill, allowing for tighter, quicker, and more reactionary movements essential for someone that relies on movement. Although Shunpo itself moves in a single line, its many variations is what makes it so lethal.
Domain: Shunpo - Universal Taijutsu.

Hakke Shouhen (Eight Divination Signs, Creation Rebirth)
Rank: Bx6
Type: Offensive / Clan Taijutsu
Range: See special!
Chakra: Low [very low/non existent?]
Special: Creates a hakke field for Jyuuken that extends 5 meters in every direction, plus 1 more meter each time retrained for a maximum of 10 meters.
Description: The basis of all Gentle Fist techniques relies on the opponent entering the Hakke, or Eight Divination Signs field. Visible only to the user, this circular area is represented by a ying-yang symbol and other clan variations appearing below the opponent they are targeting. With intense training, the Hyuuga will be able to extend their Hakke, thus furthering their reach with all techniques that are executed in conjunction with the field.
Domain: Hyuuga.

Hakke Sanjuunishou (Eight Divination Signs, Thirty-Two Palms of the Hand)
Rank: C [twice if the first was dodged.
Type: Offensive / Clan Taijutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Consumption: Chakra: Low [very low/non existent?]; Stamina: Mid [low]
Special: Each successful set of strikes can seal off one particular type of chakra flow - be it a certain release, genjutsu, or ninjutsu - for up to three posts, plus one more each time retrained. Moves around the Hakke to strike at near-shunshin speeds.
Description: Once the Hyuuga is comfortable envisioning their Hakke domain and establishing it as their own personal striking grounds, they are taught the art of striking and sealing tenketsu. Moving their hands and arms and bullet like speeds, the Hyuuga extends their palm towards their enemy, and leads with both hands outstretched, so that their fingers land first - 2 strikes, then 4, 8, 16, and finally, 32 tenketsu. As the victim is caught in attack, they are temporarily paralyzed if they are touched even once. Although the result isn't as drastic as 64 or 128 strikes, it can nonetheless close off a specific type of chakra flow within the victim of the Hyuuga's choosing.
Domain: Hyuuga.

I had made a miscalculation within skill and was barely able to even get into ball form. My side was struck causing searing pain to form within my side almost like a part of myself was sealed. The strikes continued to come and the only answer I could provide was to try and get to my feet but that was impossible with the extra hits which seemingly knocked me directly to the ground. I couldn't move at all, and there seemed to be no way to escape the hunter. I acted rash and didn't decide all my options and paid a heavy price for that with the attacks I received.

My body was feeling searing and intensive pain all over and my body almost felt sluggish as I tried my best my best t get up. There was no doubt in my mind I was gonna die with the next attack he would deal to me. And there was no guarantee I could even get and attack off seeing as I was still on the ground with his fingers stabbing into my stomach. I rose my hand pointing it towards my attacker hopefully trying to get something off to distract him. I fired and electrical ball of energy directly into his direction with a simple surge of raiton melded chakra.

Raiton: Chakra Reduction^I
Karai Shin (Lightning Wrath's Reach)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid -----> Low
Special: Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Raiton (Thunder) chakra of their own for multiple purposes, as well as control that produced by nature. Highest rank known determines the strength of the thunder, the distance at which one can control it, and finally, the speed at which the user can displace it.

D: 10 meter range / 3 meter per second
C: 20 ms / 6 mps
B: 30 ms / 9 mps
A: 40 ms / 12 mps
S: 50 ms / 15 mps


Description: Though powerful, Raiton can become uncontrollable even in the hands of the experienced, forcing its users to focus first on controlling their power in small areas, and then, over time, expanding. As one's experience with thunder and its control grows, so does the range at which they can become deadly with it.
Domain: Raiton.

Danpen Inazuma (Shooting Thunder)
Rank: D,C, B, A, S
Type: Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Handseals: No
Chakra: Very Low
Special: Highest rank known determines range of bolt, as well as the level (rank) and speed at which it is shot out.

D: 1/5th (20%) Karai Shin range + speed
C: 2/5th's (40%) KS range
B: 3/5th's (60%) KS range
A: 4/5th's (80%) KS range
S: Full KS range

Description: Meant more as a reactionary technique than a main avenue of offense, this jutsu allows the user to essentially shoot out small lightning bolts from a free hand to anyone within a small range. This requires no seals to conjure, and can be shot out from one’s appendage during the most heated of combat. The damage is light and the bolts shoot off in a relatively straight line, at rapid speeds.
Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin.

His attacks held nothing, but intensity for they knew not what mercy was. Yet, even as the boy was paralyze[/u] from the first hit alone, Liger continued his technique until it was truly finished. "Thirty-two...."[/color] The words escaped him as mere whispers before he glanced down at the boy, his face fighting to be blank and emotionless while he held in his rage. Raising his right hand he'd flick his wrist as he had before, calling forth his Retractable Wrist Blade as he prepared to finish the boy's life...Yet, just as he brought the blade down to the boy's face Croc out of no where exploded onto the scene, grabbing Liger's wrist just in time. In doing so he saved the boy's life, though a small cut would be left on the boy's cheek from the blade.

Glaring at Croc Liger pulled himself free of Croc and barked in anger. "Why?!"[/color]

---

Having closed the distance a bit Croc found it easy to pick up the sound of battle ahead, even if it was of the faintest. Twisting and turning during jumps to avoid odd tree growths and normal tree limbs alike he'd come onto the scene just as Liger was preparing to kill the child. Rushing in he reached out and used his left hand to grab Liger's wrist, narrowly saving the boy's life. And while Croc's face was blank, Liger's was like twisted metal, full of hate. Yet, when he returned Liger's glare Liger's rage obviously subsided.

"He's more useful alive then dead. Drag him back to the keep."[/color]

Sliding his hood back Croc began to make his way back to the keep with Liger at his side who had the boy slung over his shoulder.

---

Watching Liger tie the boy to a wooden chair next to the fireplace the others crowded around as they traded whispers. Yet it was all cut shortly when Croc spoke. "He's our bargaining chip. You all want to kill Han, you want to kill my father....And so do I. We will get what we want. Hawk, return to the village and report this to them, be there before nightfall."[/color] Watching the nimble man exit in a timely fashion Croc turned his attention back to the tied up boy. "What was my father thinking sending a boy like you?"[/color]

32 palms paralyzes with even one touch, fyi.

I couldn't move or see anything at all after the initial attack. My mind went blank and the only thing I could do was close my eyes and wait for death to come. To be very honest as a failure of my clan death was what I deserved. I wasn't strong enough to be the child that father ever really wanted, or have the power to help my mother before she committed suicide. I would see them again only to be worthless in there eyes. . . a fitting end for me. The darkness fully took over keeping me in its soft grasp which had comforted me for a moment.

Something had to be seriously wrong, I could feel and as far as I knew dead people couldn't feel. It was weird being unable to move was this some sort of torture within the underworld or something. I could hear voiced within my background, annoyances where all that I could hear and feel. My head tilted backwards hitting the back of whatever I was on before I began to open my eyes. The searing pain was all but gone, except I had to wait before my eyes could align towards what was going on. I was within the some sort of area with the other oinin that were missing. I tilted my head as far as I could before speaking back to whoever was talking.

"Why have you not killed me? You should do so before he gets here. . .I mean never mind. . .

[/b][/color] Rolling his neck he raised a hand to pause any sort of reply the boy had before he began to make his way up a series of stairs. "Jackel, Liger you two are to regularly trade look out duty and babysitting, Jackel you've got the first watch, Liger be easy on the kid."[/color] Chuckling a bit more he made his way to his own room, he knew he'd need the rest. And as he sat down onto his bed his mind trailed to the thought of Hawk being killed when he delivered the message, it was inevitable, but that was the plan really. Hawk was a hot head, he needed to be dealt with in a way that would keep Liger loyal...though it began to seem as if Liger was adopting his brother's rage.

---

With Jackel's quick leave to take his turn of looking out, Liger found himself sliding his own hood backwards, his amber eyes glaring at the boy's. "Do you know how lucky you are that Croc got there when he did? It won't be like that next time, after we've killed Han, your next boyo!"[/color] Rolling his shoulders he'd turn his back to the boy before taking a seat and taking a short rest as he began to nibble on a loaf of bread.
