Icicles and Ribs [p]

[Forsaken]

[enter]

Rave sighed as he walked through the mountain pass in the land of lightning enjoying the cool climate before he had to return to the sand after the exams. He shifted his shoulder feeling his quiver thump slightly with his arrows and bow as he climbed atop the nearest peaking scanning the area. Due to foreign policies or some such crap the village made him leave his cloak back home but he didn't mind the cool climate it has enjoyable to be away from the villages heat. The area was notorious for massive bears that could shred any normal person to shreds.



But then again Rave was no normal person at all, not unless normal people could become a human porcupine. He knelt against the hardened stone upon the peak looking through the light snow he could see a black blotch moving through the pass he had been moving towards, it could be interesting to see how events would unfold...

(Out Of Character: <OOC fyi, do what you can to match my post or do more no worries well get further in once my kumo is accepted.)

Kuro scanned the horizon as he walked down a mountain trail, he knew something was off here, the birds were silent and not a deer was in sight. As he walked down the path he could hear a low growling ahead, he knew that something big was ahead but in his life hed never been afraid to face a challenge. This was probably due to the fact that he didnt really fear anything. He walked slowly not really looking for a fight with anything, he loved peace and quiet so he tried to skirt around whatever was making the noise, when he thought he was far enough away he turned his back on the noise and kept walking lost in thought again not even thinking about what could be behind him

[Forsaken]

Rave watched him curiously as the man with black and white hair walked past an out of sight cave that had been within his blind spot. Though quiet even from his perch he heard the light growls as the man simply continued on not bothering to check out the sound seeming to believe in the peace of the world but such a belief would be ill-advised if not plain stupid. Rave slid his bow down his arm and took hold of an arrow as a precautionary measure. No matter how naive death was an ill excuse for it.

As he notched the arrow gently without pulling the string he watched as the beginnings of a massive grizzly bear made it's way from the maw of the cave. its black fur vivid against the white snow and pink fangs visible from even Rave's perch at the peak. With a low growl it started to stalk forward towards the shinobi and with a quick twang, an arrow was let loose piercing the arrow and the ground just in front of the bear. The sudden sound made the bear rear up and would surely make the man turn to face his combatant.

[kin]

Hearing the noise of the arrow Kuro nonchalantly turned around and smiled, "well now what do we have here" he said with a calm tone that never failed to shake the nerves of even the Bravest men. he looked at the arrow. he casually but slowly moved his hands down the the Hilts of his two scimitars hanging at this hips.

he looked around still not paying attention to noses and then noticed the large furry creature staring him down like its next meal.

[Forsaken]

Rave watched as the man turned at the sound of the arrow he loosed and drew his blades to counter act the bear. Had he been feigning just to lull the bear into an easier position to strike but that thought left as soon as he cut the bear's eye and pissed it off.

'.....was the guy a fucking moron? who cuts over the eye? you stab into the eye come on seriously.... or at least go for the throat....'

Rave shook his head as the bear roared in a loud bellow before lunging forward to tear the male apart. Hoooooowever, the slash to the eye did aid the naive boy as the bear miscalculated its lunge and tripped over the boy making it roll a good 10 meters before stopping in a sitting in a blinking position causing it to blink its eyes in confusion before getting up and standing to take on the man again.

By this time Rave sat there dazed watching the two severely confused. 'Am I being punk'd?' he thought as he stood from his perching watching the fight that would soon ensue.

[kin]

smiling and laughing Kuro claped his swords together to get the bears attention "hey fuzzy im over here" he smiled and ran twords the bear feigning left and quickly moving to the right so as to catch the bear in its blind spot in the eye he had cut. coming up close he he got in as close as he could while making sure he would have enough room to dodge if the bear were to turn fast enough to get to him.

thinking the bear would leave its ribs open from a lunge to the left because of the feign. if the bear did it would leave oan opening for Kuro to slip his scimitar between the ribs and enough time to get out of the way once the bear recovered ts balance.

[Forsaken]

Due to the bears loss of blood it had become slightly dizzy with its movements and rather than trying to hit the male it simply landed on him pinning him beneath its black fluffy heaviness rendering the male weaponless from the impact and rolled away before regaining its footing and charging head long at the unarmed male whose weapons now lay a few meters away stuck in the ice.

Rave audibly sighed as he stretched watching the male get his ass handed to him on a silver platter by a dizzy one-eyed bear. The scene was almost comical as Rave's bones seemed to twitch under his skin wanting a taste of the blood shed that was occurring below.

'All in due time... in due time'

[kin]

fliking his wrist so as ti release the blade hidden there stared the bear down and smiled, "come on fat ass" Kuro said laughing. he charged the bear jumping and attempting to land on it head so that he could stab the blade deep into its other eye rendering it blind, in his other hand he held a senbon with wich he attempted to stab the bear in the jugular.

even in the middle of this kuro couldnt help but think about the arrow sticking in the ground just a few feet away. who had launched the missle and why? kuro didnt let this distract him as he thrust his weapons down hard using all of his skill to keep his balance as he attempted to kill the bear or at least blind it enough for ecscape.

[Forsaken]

Unexpectedly the cold had done its own damage to the bear and as the cruel bite of frost hit its eye it reared back mid charge flailing in pain. The unexpected jolt was enough though to save it from the unruly assault it would've suffered and in the process of its flailing it managed to land a blow on the male in mid-flight and send him flying away.

Rave sighed and quickly wove a few seals as the battle had went on and held his wrist while focusing his chakra. the sound of chirping birds sang out from the crackles of blue electricity jumped from his hand illuminating the air around him. He jumped hard taking to the sky pin-pointing the bear under him as he began his downward descent. His gravity alone would draw force into the strike as the action would nearly seem like a flash of lightning to the male that had been thrown back.

The flashing electricity tore through the beast's skull and spinal column lodging his arm into the beast's fragmented gooey sack of a body. As the lifeless body fell forward Rave slid his arm from it with the movement so that he could hop down once his arm was free while at the same moment the bear's weight would crash on the ground. and as he tried in vain to flick the freezing blood from his arm his eyes laid upon the man who had been fighting the bear.

"Nature shouldn't suffer, end it in a flash of lightning."

[kin]

kuro smiled at his savior and said "well it wouldnt have suffered if youd let me pull it farther down the path so i could escape ou half wit son of a bitch mother fucker." he laughed at his own joke knowing he was probably gonna get hit by this know it all, "i was trying to avoid this conflict but you had to scare the damn thing" Kuro got himself up and looked at the stranger.he sighed and said "your gonna get frostbite up here without a coat i hope you realize that." kuro took of his coat and threw it to the man. today he wore nothing underneath that coat but a thin shirt wich allowed his well toned body and perfect porcelin white skin to show. "and dont try refusing it cause i dont need it anyway, its just nice to be warm every now and then" he smiled warmly at the man and laughed.

Kuro held out his hand for a shake. "My name is Kuro Yuro of could village" he said with his usual cocky grin. "if you want im having home made ramen tonight and its the least i owe you, even though i dont want to admit it and even though its partially your fault id have been screwed if you hadnt come along, ill make you dinner tonight."

[Forsaken]

Rave's annoyance was slowly ticking away, the bear would've killed him if he hadn't done anything. HE shook his head brushing his silver hair out of his face just to be met with a darker silver cloth, the cloth was a the coat that the man had been wearing earlier. He looked over the coat then wiped the splattered brain-bone-spinal-blood-organ juice off of his arm before tossing it back.

"Suna, ramen sounds good about now, don't worry about my heat."

Rave's body was unknowingly heated by the rapid creation and deconstruction of osteoclasts and osteoblasts within his bones which constantly grew twitched in receded into his natural skeletal system.

[kin]

Kuro looked at him and smiled "i know your really freaking hot i can feel it from here." he laughed aloud "but trust me were going somewere much much colder than this. he smiled and pointed up the path he had been walking my house is at the peak of that mountain, its to warm down here so i live up were its colder, even with you id say about 115 average body temp youd be hard pressed not to die from exposure up were its close to -25 below zero." he smiled and gave the jacket back, "just trust me youll appreciate it.

Kuro started walking again not bothering to look back, he knew the man would either follow or not. he kept walking oblivious to everything as he watched the wind move throuhg the trees and the smell of the mountain air. he knew the ebar was already frozen so he would come back later wth a sled to pick up the meat. lost in thought he didnt notice wether the man was following or not. as Kuro walked he pick up a wad of snow and started shaping it without thought with nothing but bair fingers into a wonderful statue of a naked women dancing he looked down at it and laughed solidifying it into rock hard ice without thought.

[Forsaken]

(OOC: water and ice not snow.)

Rave slung the coat over his shoulder moving along the path after him not wanting to argue at this point just enjoying the cold. As he followed he could take notice of the blanket of snow growing deeper and deeper as they traversed up the path towards the denser peaks of Kaminari no Kuni. Rave knew that further ahead was part of the unexplored reaches of the map and had little knowledge of what would lay beyond those boundries.

[kin]

Moving easily through the snow and ice Kuro looked back at his companion and smiled, he knew that the man had no idea where they were going but he didnt worry. he was sure that the man was memorizing the path as they went so as to be able to escape in an emergancy. He knew this path by heart along with every other path in and out of these mountains. "so whats your name friend?" he asked with a light tone. he expected nothing more then a grunt or to be ignored outright but he thought it would be worth a try.

"Like i said my name is Kuro, im from the cloud but i dont spend alot tiem there, i like to travel alot, i still have yet to be to the sand or leaf villages, i hear the sand village is amaizing and the leaf is beutiful." Kuro was ranting now just trying to break the silence. He was happy to have someone to talk to, or at in this case. Kuro spent most of his life alone since he finished his training, traveling the countries and living in the mountains when he was home.

Soon the dome of his blue ice dome, the surface was glass smooth but extremly cold, normal people who touched it would find there hands stuck to the surface as if you stuck your tounge against it, and if you stuck your tounge against it youd lose it.

[Forsaken]

"Sand is fucking hot, Mist is nice, really wet. The name is Rave." His eyes took in the surrounding area scanning everything to take in the appearance of the frosted peaks when they abruptly came to a large blue dome. "Not exactly inconspicuous..."
