MISSION STATUS; INTERMINABLE

Kirigakure's Demon shark warrior was called upon to work with another hoshigaki, an honorable feature, but to Kiijin himself it wasn't that much of a big deal, namely due to him hardly even knowing him. Nevertheless the hulking, shirtless, man-sharkk stood just outside of the Mizukage's tower, waiting for him to come out. "This guy better not take long, I don't like to wait."

[Sharkk]

picking his teeth with a tooth pick as he made his leave from the mizukage tower, after picking up a mission with a fellow hoshigake, veror let out a hardy belch. quickly flicking it aside he'd roll his naked shoulders, having hung his leather jacket on a coat rack within the first floor of the mizukage tower, as he knew it could possibly be damaged and being who he was, he was a bit stingy with his money so repairing it or buying a new one was out of the question. catching sight of his hulking cousin, shorter, but larger and more defined, veror was quick to speak.

"well, this should be easy. albeit i don't exactly know how we're supposed to fix a crack in a dam. you know any earth style jutsu?"

[Raglao]

Kiijin's inhuman senses tingled as the heavy, pattering sound of Veror's feet skipping across the ground. His head turned, cutting Veror a quick glance as he stepped forth, picking his teeth from jaws as if he finished a full course meal. No matter, it wasn't Kiijin's business to know if he did or didn't. Without hesitance he spoke about the mission we were to work on and before having answered himself, he began to walk towards the village gates where their journey as companions began.

"Heh, I've got just the idea of clogging up this little crack, for a hoshgaki it should be hard to do at all. But before I get into that, whats yer story brother?"

[Sharkk]

he didn't explain exactly, but apparently he had an idea which was enough for veror. but, now he had to respond to his cousin's second quest. what was veror's history? since the two apparently knew nothing about each other it was obvious this question would be brought up sooner than later, especially due to their apparent teaming up. taking in a deep breath veror began speaking, though mindful of his feet as to not trip and fall and make a fool of himself.

"well, i'll skip the beginning, moved to the mist at the age of ten, alone. quickly took to training as a shinobi cause there was little to nothing else to do, and since then i've been tearing a wound in the shinobi world, or so i like to think."

chuckling a bit veror paused as they reached the gates. popping his neck to the side he quickly returned kiijin's question. "what about you? what's your past like."

[Raglao]

As the two walked, Kiijin listened to his cousin's story with open ears, taking in everything that released from his mouth. His story seemed rather peaceful and free, unfortunately Kiijin had not been blessed for such a life. His own, filled with neglect due to his unnatural appearance among humans. HE sat there and thought about it as he soon expected Veror to dish out the same exact question, inquiring about Kiijin's own backstory. And with respect, he'd respond with honesty.

"Well, in short I was born in mist but seen as an outcast since are appearance isn't always appealing to those meat-sacks. To be blunt I was a shunned kid, so I used that to fuel my power and hunger. But my loyalty to this land allows me to endure it all."

He spoke with a deep, serious tone as his long strides carried him to the forefronts of the village gates. He looked up to the guards and pulled out his Kirigakure military I.D once they asked to check their credentials. Once clear, the gates opened, leading the aquatic duo into an expansive sea - home sweet home.

[Sharkk]

tilting his head as he listened to his more shark-like brethren he couldn't help, but sneer at the thought of being looked down upon for being hoshigake. spitting at the ground he flashed his i.d. card to one of the gates' guards, almost dropping it upon returning it to his pants due to the disgust of his cousin's story. exiting the village he spoke quickly. "i do hope you made them pay. our clan is to be feared, not shunned or insulted. i've torn apart and feasted upon all those who would look down upon me. but, i see why more would disrespect you cousin, you due own the more shark like features of our clan, a rare quality, one you should be more than proud of. in my eyes your almost as high up as the mizukage."

following kiijin into near by waters he made sure to keep his head above water, the fin atop his head appearing less fearsome in doing so. though he was glad to trade this fact for a bit more chatting time should kiijin wish it. "i'm hungry...."

[/color] veror's appetite was rarely ever satisfied entirely, which bothered him at times, now being one of them.

[Raglao]

"Home sweet home!" He spoke loudly to his Hoshigaki brethren and to all those who managed to have been in ear shot of his mighty voice. Like a child on its birthday he blitzed forward, diving into the lake with a massive leap. His arms came together which caused his body to form a 'arrow'. He sunk into the oceans essence as smooth as possible, barely giving back a splash. He came to the surface soon enough, swimming shoulder to shoulder with Veror as he claimed to be hungry. As the thought came to mind, Kiijin himself had not eaten recently, perhaps it was time for a well deserved meal.

"Heh! Now that you mention it I could use a bite to eat as well. I'm sure you know these waters just as well as I do, so how about we go hunt some game. Been a while since I had a good swim, that damn flat ground living does that to ya." Wasting no time at all he submerged once more, speeding faster than any other aquatic life, becoming the seas most feared enemy. He managed to snatch up a few ample fish here and there, but it was nothing large enough to completely fill the void in his stomach that no mere school of fish could fill. He needed something bigger, and he was sure Veror did as well.

[Sharkk]

so they were both hungry, even if kiijin tried to play it off as a snack, he knew when a hoshigake was hungry, they were hungry! listening and watching contently he'd quickly follow kiijin into the lake's depths. he wasn't going to waste time going after small schools of tiny fish. no, he was after something filling, even if it would delay their missions' completion. swimming in the opposite direction of kiijin, veror would dive deeper and deeper until he was almost all the way at the lake floor. there he began making a mess of things, kicking up rocks, sand, mud, bones, you name it. it was how he always brought his prey out into the open. and his prey were the giant fresh-water eels that lived in the lake.

with two slithering from underwater caves out and into the open veror grinned as he spoke, sure that kiijin could hear him. "get over here kiijin, these are some real eats'!" roaring in joy veror sped forward his deadly prowess in underwater combat coming to life as he began circling both eels before picking the larger for himself, making a bee-line towards it he keept his deadly jaws open, ready to tear chunks out of the eel to bring it down. that's how he liked to kill things, bite them until there was nothing left to bite.

[Raglao]

Sinking his teeth deep into the flesh of his appetizers, he was called upon by his counterpart who managed to transcend deeper into the lakes depth than expected. Curious as to what his intentions were and what he claimed ot have found, Kiijin followed suit, speeding through the water with brisk speeds as it grew darker and darker the closer he'd gotten to the bottom. Luckily all that had done was allow his aquatic senses to take full control. He felt and detected Veror through the waters itself, and the prey he'd been after as well, but that hadn't been the only prey, nay, there were more. Kiijin went after the second, slightly smaller, but enjoyable eel that accompanied the first.

His own speed while submerged was far beyond anything the eel could muster up as it futilely attempted to escape, but without much effort, it ended between the mighty pressured maw of Kiijin. Its blood spread evenly through the waters its taste and scent sending surges of bliss throughout his body - oh how joyous it was to be a shark. With his meal completed - for now- he remained beneath the surface and continued on their initial path towards their area of interest - the dam.

[Sharkk]

while kiijin was swift to finish off his meal, veror on the other hand took his time. although he did drag the dying eel through the lake as he took to following kiijin again, which left behind a trail of blood and small bits of flesh and guts. chomping away at his prize and meal he manged to mumble through a couple bites. "no time to waste then aye?" chuckling veror almost found himself choking, quickly adjusting to this he finished his meal off.

side by side with kiijin now the two tore through the lake, just beneath it's surface, like two flesh torpedoes. and with veror's head-fin break the water above he couldn't help, but think of the fear it would drive into the hearts of those who walked by or were on the water fishing in their small wooden boats and such. focusing on what was ahead though veror could now see the dam, it's stone features becoming his main view other than the blue green that made up the lake.

[Raglao]

Speeding through the water like nimble fish through streaks of blue, Kiijin sped forward, shoulder to shoulder to Veror as his swimming path continued to go deeper in a diagonal fashion. Eventually he managed to reach the ocean floor once more, as well as the edge of the dam as well. It was a straight drop down, but for a hoshigaki, the task at hand would be nothing more than childs play. Kiijin's sharpened claws dug deep into the ocean floor, using them as grappling hooks and climbing tools. He swung down around the side and began descending down the side of the wall as if he was climbing, but in reverse. "Hey veror, check this out, think you could go up to the surface and cut out a identical piece of earth that'd fight right in? The only way we can do this, while underwater. Just throw it down once you're finished and i'll slip it in. No wonder this mission just sat there, no one could really get to it haha!"

[Sharkk]

following kiijin he couldn't help, but let out a groan and then a sigh when he heard what kiijin had to say. it was not that veror didn't like physical labor, rather he didn't like pointless physical labor...or being told what to do. nonetheless to mature a bond between him and his clansmen he nodded and spoke quickly. "bleh."

[/color] quickly ascending through the water he began wondering how exactly he was to carve out a puzzle piece of earth for the dam. groaning as he launched his body from the water he'd land with a thud on the shore. dragging his feet a bit til he reached a preffered spot he began pondering.

having not brought any proper equipment, save for his secondary weapons and accesories he quickly rolled his shoulders and began working. digging into the earth with his hands and bashing away at it. how it was going to be perfect he had no idea, but perhaps once thrown into the water it would be able to be shaped and molded into the piece needed. and after a few moments his deed was done, rolling it back to the water he gave it a harsh kick. following it into the water he spoke. "mold it."[/color]

[Raglao]

A soft chuckle let loose as he sensed the unwillingness of Veror wanting to actually resurface just to beat and batter the ground aimlessly to seal up the dam.Truth be told what else were we to use, neither of us carried any knowledge of even basic doton, getting the easy way out hadn't been an option. A couple of minutes passed on as he waited, feeling the moving streams of water try and pry his claws from the wall he fastened himself to. "The fuck is taking so lo-" Finally his piece of this puzzle slowly drifted down at fast speeds all thanks to the powerful current that guided it. Slightly he leaned back while extending his arm behind him to claw and grasp the slab of earth.

"Shit that was close." Using some actual muscle, he returned to a more 'balanced' position, however, the piece of earth still needed to be molded to fit the dam's crack, and with one hand keeping him from plummeting straight down to the bottom of the dam and the other holding the solution to the problem, it wasn't possible. "Here hold this while I cut this bastard, don't worry, I wont cut you. . .hopefully, heh." Hoping that Veror would hold the piece of rock he withdrew his sword -Ardemus- as he began to hack away perfectly shaping the rock to fit the crack.

[Sharkk]

shrugging his shoulders and nodding veror took quickly to grabbing the large hunk of earth. holding it up as if he was a statue of granite carrying the world on his back. careful to move his body and limbs about to avoid being cut, even if kiijin used great expertise. the weight of the earth was a bit lighter in the water, perhaps due to his raw power applied while using his brutal strength in swimming. sliding his tongue slowly and carefully over his rows of razor sharp and serrated teeth veror spoke loudly. "taking your sweet time aye'?!"

[/color]

it wasn't that the weight was too much to shoulder for the time being. no, it was rather the increasing boredom, at least if he was in kiijin's shoes he'd be slicing something up. "this definitely is not a hobby i will be picking up."[/color] snorting at the thought he gripped the puzzle piece harsher, leaving imprints within it now.

[Raglao]

"Hey hey! relax, ya can't rush a masterpiece y'know" He exclaimed with a jovial tone as his arm began to properly line itself up with with the stone he'd been holding every so roughly. No matter, it wasn't something that'd hinder him from carving away at its surface, in fact, it made it easier since he knew he wouldn't have a chance at knocking it out of his bare scaly hands. His arm flung left, right, up, and down and from any other angle that a sword could come from when controlled by an arm. Piece by piece the slab of earth grew smaller, chipping it bit by bit with uncanny precision. Before long that jagged, rotund piece of land and now been crafted into a handy tool that would do more than just fill the crack of the dam, it'd keep it there. He sheathed his blade and then grabbed it with a single hand and shoved it into the crack. Once he did he waited a few seconds just to make sure it was secure and if it hadn't, the couple of punches that he gave towards its surface made sure that it'd never come out of place.

"Well that was easy haha! lets get outta here."
