I had been traveling for many days now throughout Mizu no kuni, and finally I was about to make my leave of my birth place. It was a sad feeling, but my vendetta could not allow me to sit idle. My heart knew, it felt Gene was no longer with these lands, so my only other option was to pursue unknowingly what I felt was true. I was upon the threshold of Mizu's borders, the mist waning as it thinned.

With a sigh I stepped forward, my hi-ate in clear view. There was no need to hide, I wasn't being followed to my knowledge and throughout my travels I had kept my heritage-my upbringing a secret. Tree's stood behind me, spanning as far as the eye could see, numerous hills and puddles were before me. A storm had brewed the night before, and this was its aftermath.

Broken branches sprawled upon the ground, snapping beneath my fete as I continued. If left unattended, I'd be making my way to Hi no Kuni.

My eyes fell upon a boy, he hailed from my home village, his insignia worn as proudly as mines. If he was after me, his footsteps surely had given him away. Turning so that I could face him, I allowed my steely gaze to meet his. My body tingled, I know he knew I was a nuke, simply from my Hi-ate alone one could discern such. I wasn't privy to the truth behind the lad that stood before me, and I had in fact fell prey to the lies spun around me; oblivious to the true conspirator that pulled at the strings one could call fate.

"I take it you won't be leaving me alone, huh?"

[/color][/i] I responded delightfully. I had no intentions of leaving her alone. . . no, that just wouldn’t be any fun at all. I enjoyed a good chase here and there but this wasn’t enough for me considering the fact that I am taking a liking to her body. Pale skin and soft blue eyes was a sure hell fire way to set me loose on my womanizing spree. . . but this wasn’t the time nor place to do so even if she were my type.

Metallic hues shifted abaft her silhouette as my demonic clone closed in from behind her – assuming she turned towards me once she heard the voice. He would attempt to grab at her wrists forming a rock of ice [prepped technique] around her two fists so that she would not be able to break loose; she would break her arm if she were going to try. Eyes hesitantly beckoned down and up from her – she looked older than me but only by a couple of years. If it were true that she was a missing yuki ninja – why hadn’t she began to run?

My thoughts were colliding at a faster pace than I’d wanted them to. I needed to keep my mind focused upon the fact that I needed to take her headband back to claim the reward – getting one step closer to my final goal of achieving authority. Only then would I be able to find out the truth behind my creation. As my eyes fluttered about I’d shrug my shoulders to assert that I were awaiting a response from her. I longed to hear her voice once more – it rung bells like the flashes did from my past.

Trapped.

I had become caught due to my lack of vigilance, in all of my travels I was always open to the world about me. My eyes constantly fanning scanning all in my sights. But somehow today my mind moved two paces slower than usual. Biting my lip as I felt the cold sensation of my icy shackles secure me, I looked on at the boy before me. He knew I was a Missing Ninja, so why was he playing ignorant?

Was it sex?

Money?

Drugs?

I didn't know, but from my Hi-ate clearly visible I blacked my mind out, searching for just the right words to say. For the best phrasing of said words;however both eluded me. At a lost I simply spoke without thinking. I was already in a bind, so how much worse could it get? Choosing not to struggle for I knew it'd be futile I'd simply just go with the flow of the situation.

"Formerly... yes! My forehead protector is quite visible."

Maybe not the best thing to say when in the hands of an unknown enemy, but I was pressed for time and pressed to be relieved from my circumstances. "Shione. So what business do you have with me? If you wish to return me, than death is the only way I'll go back!" My expression would be frigid-just as cold as my birthright as a Yukina.

[/i]. My hands would have slammed together allowing the needles overhead to slam into her figure puncturing through the skin tearing her up swiftly like piranha to the bait.

My nodaichi were the next piece of the puzzle. My movements mirrored within the reflection of my clone as he too calmly pulled the nodaichi from his side – puncturing it through her back aimed at her heart. My sword slid up her clothes slowly cutting a thin line along her stopping it just below her head band. My sword would cut underneath it relieving it from her head immediately. ‘Shame, doll. . .’ I cooed forth in a nonchalant manner. I’d place the head band calmly within my pocket if my attacks had landed successfully.

Seeing as how she were captured I couldn’t see any other reason why they wouldn’t but just in case they hadn't i'd kept a surplus of chakra at the ready along my feet for a crafty escape.

Type: Secondary / Ranged
Special: 5 per Pack.
Description: A shuriken, like kunai, is one of the more basic weapons employed by ninja of all classes. They are sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, no more than a few inches long, and are extremely useful for throwing. Although small, they can be used to distract, or, if accurate enough, to kill. They have an open circle in the center, used for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also a benefit in aerodynamics, as it ensures more accurate trajectories.

The words left my trembling lips as my own eyes close, my death was foreboding. I could feel it. My own demise. At first the pain was hot as it seared throughout my body, each multiple wound caused by each needle burned with unimaginable intensity. I knew this would happen soon, but at least I thought I'd fine him; however what knowledge I lacked was that I'd see that very person soon. We'd be reunited in Kami's halls. Than, the cold steel that slipped to were my heart rested whispered. It sung unto me ease as conciouness slipped away into an expansive ocean. It went black.

All black....

[/b] – the border land between yuki and mizu. It were the quickest area I could obtain my bounty reward without making too much of a ruckus by entering Yuki’s deserted plains once more.

The trees shifted to and fro like railings on the side of the road. My swift endeavor would meet no ends seemingly as I pushed my limits to make it towards the dock in time. I could see the smoke rising overhead which meant that the ship was about to depart. I were out of breathe the moment I reached the port where the ticket salesman waited. ‘You comin or not boy’ he said with a country accent. I shook my head yes because I couldn’t quite capture which words I wanted to say to him.

I took out two pieces of silver and handed it to him as compensation for awaiting me. I took the head with me trying to hide it beneath all the confusion I were portraying along my face. I scurried up the dock and I was on my way to tetsu no kuni. It’d only take a couple of hours before I’d reach where I needed to go. An excited feeling draped over me like a cloak as I my eyes met with tetsu in the horizon. I calmly awaited its cold and firm grasp – one step closer to my final destination.
