T-Lash Fuburo :NPC

[/right]

Luckily for you and the sheer strength of the insects that you harboured in your body, it would seem that as he charged, he’d soon be caught up in the defence that you had created from your own insect-like kin. To say the least he had quite a confused expression on his face and as he attempted to shuffle away from the hand that had now clamped around him, he but gave out sounds of distress, as if he was some kind of cat locked in a box of sorts. This would continue now for a few more moments, and as he struggled to break free, it was easy to say that you had caught him in his tracks, which meant that luckily for yourself you wouldn’t become a victim of this disturbing creature, assuring that you kept the technique up to make sure that it didn’t weaken and allow him to break free- And then, then he’d take his anger out on you from being trapped. Right now, he didn’t seem too happy.

But all that didn’t mind as your bugs, acquiring chakra-lifting abilities began to drain him of the chakra that was pulsing around his very body at the moment. And now- As this was happening, it wasn’t exactly one of the best feelings in the world, and almost as if as his eyes shined towards you, almost with the eyes of T-Lash Fuburo himself, his sunglasses having long since been blown off during the change- They rested a few meters away on the ground, but it didn’t look as if he’d be needing them from now on, right? Not saying that you could take them- And even if you did, he’d be even more pissed off with you, seeing as what would come next perhaps hadn’t been anticipated by you at all. With his arms and body still stuck in the chakra-sucking defence that were the insects you clan were famed for, if you’d look at him, you’d notice subtle changes.

For one thing; He had grown smaller, the muscles on his body decreasing in size rapidly as he too seemed to grow smaller, the large hand of insects soon appearing to be growing larger from the size difference. As all this happened, the bulging mounds of flesh placed at random on his body decreased, and he soon came back to look like the T-Lash Fuburo who you knew, who you had come to be used to in the club, who you had just moments ago, see turn in to a monster. What in the world was this? His cool and collected personality seemed a harsh contrast between this.. thing that had become of him. Strangely enough his clothes were the same as they had ever been, but his glasses- They were still on the floor. Looking around as if he was incredibly confused, he’d feel weakened by the insects that were currently covering him, as he’d look towards you for help.

”Bro! Help me out here before I black out!”

Would you give in to his plea? He was very much back to normal now, but would you hold it against him what had happened to him? Or would you want to delve further and find out exactly what had happened at this time- One thing was for sure- It was a pretty interesting thing what could become of people from this technique..

[Iizuka]

The extension of my fist wrapped tightly around the great beast and halted him rather easily in his tracks. The Kikaichu already began to leech his chakra, something they hadn't done in quite a while. Their feeding frenzy drained the aura that surrounded him, and it wasn't long before I saw the muscles suddenly decreasing in size. It would appear as though his frame was fed by chakra to enhance his power, yet even this hulking beast would succumb to my insects. As I saw his form shrinking into the black mass that surrounded him, I'd take advantage of his weakness by slamming him to the ground.

The massive hand would rest on top of the beast to ensure that he didn't escape, holding him in the ground as I approached. However, as I drew nearer to my former friend, I'd see that his eyes had changed once more. No longer were they the hate filled eyes that had targeted me before, but rather they were cast towards me in search of help. Immediately my insects stopped draining his chakra, yet they would hold onto his body should he revert to his former state. As I approached I would bend over to recover his fallen sunglasses, crouching over him to place them on his head once more.

My expression had since then turned from awe to a cold, stern look. Despite my drunken stupor I remained vigilant, although how vigilant I was I could not be sure of. The adrenaline fading as I put down the threat, I began to return to my former state. The blurriness of my vision came once more, but I tried to remain as collected as possible. My eyes were filled with an aura of distrust, even as his plea echoed out to nobody in the darkness of Tetsu. I wasn't really listening for I didn't know what to believe. Was this man friend or foe?

"What the hell was that just then?" The fist that enclosed T-Lash would thus tighten, giving him slight pain as my eyes narrowed and I continued. "You do realize you just tried to kill me?" Still crouched in the snow, bending over T-Lash, I'd again tighten the grip over his weakened body. My own eyes filled with a certain hatred, or rather betrayal, as I could only describe this endeavor of his. My voice was cold and emotionless as I decided to find out exactly why this had happened to myself, or rather to him.

"Explain yourself."

[/right]

"What the hell was that just then? .. You do realize you just tried to kill me?"

Oh man! Was he in trouble with you! The glasses then descending on his head, he’d tilt forward a little bit so they fell flawlessly back on to shroud his vision somewhat, shading the dark brown eyes that he had, although he now perfectly viewed you as you’d go forwards and request to figure out what had happened moments ago when you had not been met with T-Lash but.. some kind of horrible, horrible beast. It was this monster exactly which was now imprinted in your mind and surely you wouldn’t be able to go back to speaking and thinking about T-Lash in the same way now that you saw the true monstrosity that he was capable of unleashing at any given moment- Were you safe at the moment? Or in this snowy wonderland was there something dangerous lurking around every corner that could perhaps jeapordize your future dealings with your old village- Death would come to curious cats, but it seemed that T-Lash was more than happy to tell you what had happened as he’d look at you, preparing to speak.

With his figure currently entrapped in the hundereds of bugs that you had revolving around him, it would be clear to him that the trust that you once had towards him was now lost as of now should he not explain himself and what exactly had happened during those few minutes where you life could have possibly ended from the sheer brute strength that the animal seemed to have. With his covered eyes looking straight at your own he’d then begin to speak, explaining what he had done moments ago and why there was such.. a change to him. ”I’m sorry man! That only happened a few times before, for real the last time I used it it turned out fine! It was pretty neat actually- It’s just a design fault with this technique, y’know?” But was that the truth? It was strange exactly how the monstrous figure that you had seen seemed to both capture the spirit and soul of T-Lash himself and whatever beast may lurk beneath the false skin that he wore. But would you choose to believe him? There was of course a chance that he didn’t understand what was happening right now to him, but really, it did actually sound more like that- He himself seemed as confused as you were about the situation- Even annoyed that he had apparently tried to attack you.

”I had no control over my body, man! Usually I turn in to this dude with blue hair- It’s a special transformation technique, you see.” he’d tell you this- Transformation technique? That would be stretching the truth somewhat seeing as it wasn’t exactly a technique, moreso a seal, although right now of course you wouldn’t have been aware of this. He’d seem to request consolation from what he had done to you, and it was obvious that he was sorry- The way that he now held himself whilst looking at you was much different from before and yet at the same time- did he mean it? However with this information that he was now leaking to you, what would you make of it? Surely a technique with such effects was incredibly risky, but what exact advantages did it hold? Were you aware of this beforehand? It was, to say the least, strange to see a transformation technique that acted spontaneously as far as the change created went..

OOC: I never fail to miss my deadlines (y)

IC:

"Bullshit."

The grip I had on his body would tighten slightly, definitely causing pain and possibly restraining respiration for a moment. My other hand dipped into the folds of my clothing, retrieving from it a kunai. I spun it slowly on my finger for a moment before holding it steady and pointing it straight at his face, directly between his eyes. Although the blurriness was returning to my vision, I had little doubt that I could still hit the target, especially at such close range. Even if I couldn't my insects served as a safeguard.

"I don't generally like to kill people, believe me, I don't." I resumed swinging the kunai around one finger, staring intently at T-Lash so as to be able to react to his movements. "But do not test me, and most importantly, do not lie to me." I sighed deeply as I looked over the form before me and how pathetic he looked in the snow under the force of my insects. Suddenly the extension of my arm that was Kikaichuu broke off, the weight of the arm lifting from T-Lash. The insects, however, would remain upon his body. He would, for the moment, be free to move.

"I will be kind enough to let you go completely on the premise that you tell me the truth."

My eyes were cold and emotionless as they rest upon T-Lash. What he had shown me was clearly much more than a simple transformation. Any old ninja can perform a Henge with no trouble whatsoever. Hell, even the untrained should be able to perform it, for it is one of the most basic techniques that exist. I could easily turn my hair blue now if I wanted, no? How could I even believe that this was a mishap, anyway? Surely he could have just as easily wanted to kill me, even for the sheer pleasure of it. My eyes narrowed as they scanned his body, but the blurred vision was now becoming too much to completely distinguish the more minute details.

It was clear to me now that this was no transformation technique. It wasn't, at least, a mere physical transformation it would seem. His entire manner had changed; he wasn't what he had shown himself to be. It was true that people lied, but to hide such a monstrous beast as that seemed incapable. I was unaware as to if T-Lash himself had any power over the form he had just assumed. So many questions flooded my head, but I was determined to find the answer. I wouldn't let a simple brute stop me in my endeavors.

"So, are you ready to tell me what that was?"

My other hand dipped into the folds of my clothing, retrieving from it a kunai. I spun it slowly on my finger for a moment before holding it steady and pointing it straight at his face, directly between his eyes.

”Why you being such a twat for?”

They were simply words but he meant what he meant- Why were you even doing this to him? It was starting to get uncomfortable in the iron grip that your bugs had on him at the moment, and due to the awkward way that he’d been trapped, he was unable to form seals to escape- Taijutsu was always an option but right now he was the one with the disadvantage- The territory was Iizuka’s, and there was no reason for him to be messing around lest he want to get killed by you. Your friendship had blossomed but now seemed to wither- But he wasn’t lying!? It was a kind of transformation technique, really, I mean- He had transformed, that was obvious. So why was the Aburame being a little whiny bitch for? It was hard to make T-Lash angry but this was annoying him now- Just how quickly he’d turned to aggression!- Which could also be said for himself, making him a hypocrite but..

What the eff did you think you was doing? ”Not cool mang, not cool. he’d say this and shake his head- So wait.. back up here. This guy was willing to kill him off.. unless he’d tell him what he just did? Oh come on! You wouldn’t dare kill him- As lust had now been embedded in your mind you couldn’t possibly kill the very being who would give him the information that you needed to be finally satiated. The hunt was definitely on- But why kill the prey when you could gain information from it? ”Let me go man- Else you’ll never know.” he’d tell you, once more throwing out the bait for you to follow. It wasn’t as if he was trying to get you to go in to a trap- But he just wanted you to chill the fuck out and let him have a breather- literally. The bugs beginning to crush him ever so slowly, he wasn’t too fond of waiting around to see how it ended. He was too young to die, right?

Suddenly the extension of my arm that was Kikaichuu broke off, the weight of the arm lifting from T-Lash. The insects, however, would remain upon his body. He would, for the moment, be free to move.

Finally- Room to breathe! Taking a deep, deep breath T-Lash would seem to enjoy this slight moment of freedom before crossing his eyes, raising his arms to cross them, and then finally, his gaze set hard on you. Lowering his arms once more he’d then shake his head and rummage around in his pockets for a few moments before revealing a piece of paper. ”I want an apology first.”.. But would you give in to these terms, even after he had unconsciously attempted to kill you off? It was all that he seemed that he wanted, and with the piece of paper in his hands- Was it that he was prepared to write down whatever technique that he had used, in order for you to learn? Maybe.. maybe not. It all depended on whether you were not going to be a complete dickhead and apologize or not.
[/blockquote][/justify]

[Iizuka]

His gaze was almost penetrating. The look in his eyes screamed innocence, and at once I realized that perhaps he had not truly tried to kill me. Still, it left me to wonder on what had actually happened. I again had to ponder that a simple transformation would be easily controlled, yet of course there were a multitude of techniques I had probably never seen before. I, however, had to remain cautious, hence the reasoning for the insects that still rest upon his body. He shook his head as he dipped his hand into a pocket, pulling forth from its depths a piece of paper. "I want an apology first."

The sight of the paper caused my eyes to open wide with curiosity, and suddenly I was much more willing to comply. He had delivered the mystery and so determined was I to find my answer that I was about to kill my only lead? Silly me! How inconsiderate! I would have to simply reconsider as I sighed, chuckling slightly as my insects flew to my body. The search for knowledge outweighed the risk; I wanted to know what exactly had occurred. I replaced the kunai within my pouch, bowing my head slightly as I spoke up loud and clear.

"I'm sorry for my actions." For a moment I glanced up and looked him in the eye, "But you must understand my previous concern." I put on a great smile, only hoping that I was sincere enough in my apology, albeit court, and that he was actually knowledgeable in the technique he had attempted to perform. I could now only await his response in high hopes that it would be profitable for myself.

T-Lash Fuburo :NPC

It would seem as if you had pissed him off a little bit but the way that you had given in and released him made him at least feel a bit happier around your presence. In the past he had been drinking with you, and he was sure that the both of you had shared laughs- But would this small implication ruin the bromance that the two of you were slowly stumbling in to? Surely not, as T-Lash then lowered his sunglasses slightly with his right hand to seemingly get a better look of you and what you were doing, before having them resume their position on the bridge of his nose, carefully covering his eyes whilst at the same time, blocking them out from the rest of the world- Whilst he could look out, no-one, not even you could look in to the strange little world that was dancing around in his mind- The eyes were a gateway to the soul, and at the moment, his was tightly shut away from people to see.

”..Good.”

However- All was soon viewed as well in his own eyes after you apologized to him. Nodding his head with the paper now in his left hand he’d produce what looked like a pen in his left hand as he’d then begin to write exactly what he meant by the technique that he had just so carelessly used. However- His version of it would surely be much different to what you would see once casting it. It was up to the user really- The core of them- Was T-Lash a monster at heart? These things were something to be discussed quite seriously but then again, you didn’t know the true meaning of the technique- Or at least, you didn’t at the moment- But who knows, truly? Continuing to scribble down the glasses donning man would once or twice look back at you to make sure that you were still there, before then continuing to write instructions on the sheet.

And then.. it was done. He’d move forwards towards you slowly, cautiously enough to show you that he meant no harm at all, and then held the paper towards you which held all of the information that you’d need. ”Be careful- This technique might show you more about yourself than you’re prepared to understand. Take my word for it.” he’d tell you this in words much more mature than the ones that he had spoken in the past- Perhaps now he was a little unsure of giving it to you but he knew that you’d do good with it- He’d talked to you for a while now and had decided that despite the fact that you acted like a bit of a twat when you were drunk- You were an alright kid to say the least. And because of this? The paper now would be passed on to you, and the information that you needed to learn whatever it was that he had done just minutes ago.

[/b][/color]
And now the man would reach out his hand towards you on whatever piece of skin that he could find- Your hand. It was up to you to control your pesky insects but as of now, he’d take your hand, and then, holding it in his, place his three fingers on the back of your hand. Burning.. His chakra would seep in to your hand, burning away at the very flesh that you had- Of course it was a bit painful, but you’d live. As a bright purple flame covered his digits, he’d keep his hand there as slowly but surely, the black mark of Tentouei would slowly begin to crawl up your arm, itching away at your skin as it drew its elaborate designs on you- It was beautiful, that was for sure, but what exactly was it? You’d shown interest in it so even without permission first he’d gone ahead and done this to you- Just what were you getting yourself in to now?[/right][/ul]

”Good luck, Iizuka! I know you’ll do great with this technique- Just be careful when you use it, as you can tell with me- I’m not that great with harnessing it but it’ll all come in due time, I promise! Next time you’re in Tetsu, this is my usual haunt, bro!” And just like that he’d say his apparent goodbyes- With the paper now in your hands, and whether or not you wanted to see this man leave you as quickly as he had entered your life, with a quick burst of chakra- He was gone, tracks in the snow leading elsewhere in to the dangerous snowy land that was Tetsu. Where was he to go? Who knows. But more importantly; He had given you the ability to learn one of the most interesting techniques that you had seen in a while- Just what possibilities could come from this? The future was yours to shape- So shape it well.

[/b][/color] IIZUKA HAS OBTAINED.. A SHEET OF PAPER DETAILING THE INFORMATION ABOUT TENTOUEI.
> TENTOUEI SEAL HAS BEEN PLACED ON TARGET.
[/ul] [/blockquote][/justify][/size]

[Iizuka]

Seemingly compliant, he began to scribe information on the sheet of paper he had produced. I watched patiently as he black lines were etched into the paper, his demeanor apparently having calmed down as well. As it turned out, finding the information I sought was much easier than previously thought. Regret overcame me as I thought that I had ruined this young friendship, but what was done is done. My heart stopped for a moment as he rose, but resumed beating once more as he slowly approached me. His arm outstretched and held within his hand was the sheet of paper.

I, too, slowly reached out, but suddenly he had control of my hand. I looked back up with fright as he focused on my open palm, three of his fingers dipping down and touching it. For a moment there was nothing, and I looked confusedly back and forth between my trapped palm and T-Lash. In my confusion I barely even noticed as a purple light burst from his fingertips and beautiful flames began to burn into my palm. The muscles of my arm clenched as I bent down slightly in pain, the burning sensation overtaking my arm.

A purple light raced down my arm, leaving in its tracks a black interwoven mark. The intricate designs of the seal that now covered my palm and arm were quite beautiful, but what exactly did it mean? Finally my hand was released and in my utter confusion I barely understood what happened next. T-Lash spoke, yet I heard only a few words. I inspected the mark on my arm furiously as to decipher the effects of what had just happened. The paper was clenched in my hand, and quickly I unraveled it to glance at its contents. I looked back up quickly to see where T-Lash had gone but it was already too late.

My breath came in short staccato as I ran a finger along the mark on my arm. It refused to come off with my touch, and in my panic I again scanned the paper given to my by T-Lash. As I did so, however, my breath slowed down once more and I ceased to worry. I had trouble comprehending exactly what he had written. I was now stranded in the midst of Tetsu no Kuni, alone in the darkness. I read over the paper again and again but failed to understand. "Divine Reflection Sealing?" These words echoed again and again in my head, clouding all other thought as I struggled to come to terms with what this technique would provide to me.

A burst of pain shot up through my right arm, on which the seal was located. The intricate black marks were now alight with a purple hue, increasing in luminosity with each passing second. Soon I was blinded by the light, falling to the ground as the pain spread from my arm to my chest. I clawed at my chest with my left hand while my right hand moved in spasms, writhing in pain. The cold of the snow and of the country did little to dull the pain. For a moment, however, it disappeared. The light upon the seal dimmed and was extinguished. For a moment.

It returned with tenfold the luminosity and pain it did just moments ago, and now the pain exploded through my whole body. My back arched in the intense agony, my head thrown back into the snow.

----------

The intense searing pain faded, and his muscles relaxed. His body fell into the snow, passing beneath the surface of the white powder. There was silence when suddenly his hand shot through the snow. His hands clutched at the surface as his body rose up from its depths, his lungs struggled to bring air in. My gaze consisted of dark heavens and a white earth. I looked around confusedly before glancing at his body. I pushed his hands into the snow in wonder, I experienced the feeling of cold. A faint chuckle escaped his lips, my lips. It was my body now. The laughter increased as it echoed deep into the dark night, and I arose in my new body.

This marked a new chapter in my history.
