Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kody felt safe with Kazu (ironic in'it) and when she helped to comfort him when he cried, that just made the feeling of security that much stronger. It felt like a mothers touch, his bride-to-be never made him feel like that, infact she was rather against touching and comforting.

If this is the feeling of love. Security, comfort. I think, I will leave Konoha for her...I mean, SHE (not Kazu) doesn't even speak well of her emotions.

Kody wasn't sure what to do as he neared Kazu. The times he and his fiancée kissed, it never was like this. It was there and back, it didn't take hours for their lips to reach. Kody slowly shut his eyes, mostly out of fear of making a mistake while kissing.

Kody felt his face turn red once more as Kazu's chest press against his. Their lips had yet to make contact and he was already blushing very visably.

The moment he felt Kazu's lips Kody felt his body go rigid. He wasn't sure if Kazu had noticed, he hoped she didn't. If Kazu had noticed all he wanted was for her to keep that knowledge to herself.

Kody wasn't sure why Kazu was moaning as they kissed. It wasn't like he was even making any contact, Kazu was the one touching his cheek, was he an amazing kisser?

"I-Kiss...g-yeah..." Kody felt his tounge go numb, he pressed his tounge ever so gently against his lips as he looked at Kazu. Quickly Kody chomped down on his tounge in an attempt to wake it back up.

Kody closed his right eye quickly and felt a tear roll down his cheek from the sting. The taste of blood soon filled his mouth which made the taste of Kazu somewhat, unrecognizable.

"I-if you did stay with me, then you’d protect me like I was the princess", Kody tilted his head to the side. Protect her like she was a princess? No.

Kody opened his mouth a small gash very visable on his tounge as blood still dripped from it, "I wouldn't protect you....like you're a princess...For....you are my princess."

Kody wasn't sure if he was to return Kazu's embrace, so he simply rested his head gently atop hers.

The hot springs now came into view, as did two figures sitting outside. Even from the distance she could see the events. The kiss, then the embrace. She made a sour face, which looked like she had just sucked on a whole lemon. After the short lived sour face, she puffed her cheeks out as if she was holding her breath for attention.

"How dare he!" She grummbled angrily, "we're supposed to be getting married, and he's messing around with some...some...SLUT!"

She began to run again. Dodging the ice patches far better than Kody had, she didn't slip once, nor did she even hit a single patch of ice. At that moment in time all she wanted to do was break her bridegrooms ribs, then kill the lowly hooker he was holding.

"Why would he need a hooker? He's got me...if he ever wanted anything he could just ask..." she grumbled and continued up the mountain, stopping when she was in ear shot of the conversation.

((No worries d00d. We’ll needa talk about how you’ll reply to this post though, as we need this post to get the story into the fight, but at the same time, the way its set up, some of the dialogue may go unnoticed.))

“Umu, Kody~ ♥” Kody let out a soft, “hmm” and shift his glance to see Kazu as best her could, his head was still resting atop hers after all.

“Just how old are you, anyway?” Kody almost let out a loud “HA!” but was able to contain it. I knew it! She thought I was only around 11 or 12 . Her math skills must be pretty atrocious though. After all, I did say I was an infant when Itachi killed our clan. He almost felt like standing up and dancing around, he loved the feeling of being right, even if it was over something ridiculously small.

“I’m, 16 years old. I was born, the 16th of January,” he smiled as he shifted his view ahead, "and you my Princess?"

Kody sort of winced when she asked what it was like, being the last of the Uchiha. “It’s one of the worst feelings in the world. Sasuke… he thought he had it bad, I’m expected to repopulate the Uchiha clan. I’m expected to be stronger than any other person, and at the same time, many expect me to do the same thing as Itachi and Sasuke; leave the village, and join the Akatsuki, or Orochimaru.”

“As for all the women wanting to help me repopulate the Uchiha clan, I haven’t really noticed. I mean, I’ve already got so much on my plate, I don’t have time to think about all these girls who want to use that as an excuse to jump my pants,” he paused for a moment, “some girls want to ‘repopulate’ the clan, others want nothing to do with me. I’ve already a fiancée though, arranged marriage, orders of my adopted family, the other family and supposedly, the Hokage.”

Wait a second, didn’t she say, she didn’t know much about the workings of Ninja? Just hear say? As famous, or rather infamous as the massacre was, I doubt people who had no connection to the Uchiha, or Konoha would know anything about it. Though, she’s too beautiful to lie, I’m sure I’m just over analyzing it.

Kody grinned once more as Kazu began to fumble with her words; it was the first time a girl as amazing as her had trouble speaking around Kody, “I’d love to, I was going to head back earlier to Konoha, but, staying with you, will be one hundred times better.”

Murrue ((lolololol Gundam)) clenched her teeth as she heard Kody’s mistress speak. So bubbly, it was obviously an attempt to get into Kody’s pants. Kody’s reply to her answer was equally terrible. It was so unlike him, as if he had been bewitched by the woman’s beauty.

“I bet all the women want to help you repopulate the clan, heehee~” Murrue had to stab her fingernails into her palms to stop her from lunging from her hiding spot to kill this, ‘Kazu’.

“…I-I mean, you can sleep in my room” that was the last straw; she was unable to contain herself anymore. She leaped from her hiding spot, so she was standing directly behind the two of them.

“KODY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!” she cried out, her voice nearly breaking, “YOUR VACATION IS OVER! NOW GO GET YOUR CLOTHES, WE’RE LEAVING.”


“M-Murrue…I…we… okay, I’ll be out in a minute,” he stood up slowly, pulling himself from Kazu’s grip, “I’m sorry Kazu…I have to.”

Kody slowly walked back to the bathhouse. As he entered he let out a long sigh and kicked the wall, letting out a small cry of pain as he did.


“What the hell is your problem? You think because you’re some, some, TRAMP you can steal away my future husband!?”

Murrue blinked as the towel left Kazu's hand, flying towards her (Murrue) incredibly fast. Swinging her arms up, she narrowly "blocked" the attack, Murrue's forehead was still hit, but the arms took the large majority of the damage. Murrue flew backwards several feet, landing on her back with a loud thump.

Slowly rising to her feet Murrue's face seemed to twist, her regular features going unnoticed. She looked very similar to Kody when his face had twisted earlier when Kazu had angered him.

"HE IS A DIAMOND! AND IF YOU HAVEN'T REALIZED THAT, YOU DESERVE HIM EVEN LESS THAN I DO!" Murrue screamed angrily, her voice bouncing off the water and flying every which way, being heard kilometers away.

***

Hearing the screaming Kody began to pull his clothes on faster, as he pulled his shorts up he fell forward hitting his head on the wall of the bath house. Letting out of a stream of curses Kody began to fumble with his shirt, pulling it over his head as best he could.

The trouble with trying to get dressed while in a hurry was simple, he took no notice to his surroundings. He hit his head several more times as he pulled on his shirt, he narrowly avoided falling face first into the pool and nearly stabbed himself with his Kusanagi as he shoved it through a loop at his back.

***

Murrue held out her left hand as a bubble of water based chakra began to form, the water from the near by pool began to float towards the chakra ball adding to the size. Using her right hand Murrue began to shape the bubble, adding length first, the shapped it further adding a hilt and guard.

"Suiton: Ensui no Jutsu (Water Release: Dark Water Technique)."

Murrue made one final movement, sweeping over the entire water blade. As if becoming ice, the blade lost it's liquid movement, no long flowing and waving, it stayed in a solid form. The Katana style blade obviously was a transparent blue/green other than that it was the same width and height of an everyday Katana.

"I'll make sure you regret, trying to take the last of the Uchiha"

"Ah, what's this? Looks like you two, are having a bit of an argument, eh?" Kody's voice rang clear over the area, no longer shaky or shy, it was as if he himself was the hokage.

Kody's appearance was significantly different than it had been earlier, at first glance you would think he was a completely different person. No longer did he try to hide in the steam or the water, he didn't hunch over showing his obvious shy side. On his forehead he proudly wore the symbol of his village.

"Murrue, stop I won't allow her to get away with hurting, my future wife."

Murrue winced as Kazu announced her Jutsu. “Kamaitachi no Jutsu,” Murrue had heard of the power of the Jutsu but she had never seen it before (of course wind is impossible to see). If the power of the Jutsu itself was as terrible as Kazu’s voice was when she had screamed the name, Murrue knew she was in trouble.

Unsure of how to block or even dodge the attack, Murrue simply took the stance of a swordsman. As if attempting to ward off the oncoming wind, Murrue made a swift vertical slice starting from her right shoulder, ending at her left thigh. The water based katana waved as she swung it, a few droplets flew towards Kazu but the attack –if it could be called that- had little to no effect.

The moment the wind hit Murrue, she let out a shrill scream that pierced everything it hit. This included her eardrums; the scream had rendered her ears useless and only in place for one thing, appearance. The fact she was now deaf would mean nothing, as these were the last few moments of Murrue’s life.

Murrue was no longer sure if she was screaming or not, all she was aware of was the blinding pain she felt. As she flew harmlessly –harmless to Kazu anyway- through the air, Murrue’s body was being torn to pieces, similar to the way a carrot is cut in a blender. Her beautiful flowing black hair was ripped from her head or cut in places, leaving it 3 inches long at the most. Murrue’s right arm had been detached completely and sent flying into the forest below them. The rest of her body was in no better shape, and by the time she hit the ground, she was completely unrecognizable; save her eyes and facial features.

Murrue fell in a pile of blood, hair and clothing 4 feet in front of Kazu. How a wind with such force was only able to push her a few feet back was unknown. The damage it did more then made up for the lack of distance. Murrue’s lips moved but no audible sound was heard by her, or anyone else. Tilting her head to the left gently, her breathing stopped abruptly as did her heart beat.


Kody was able to do little more then cry out Murrue’s name as she was hit by Kazu’s attack. He felt his stomach gurgle as she was sent flying into the air, when Murrue’s arm was detached Kody almost fell to his knees.

Kody reached Murrue’s side as her head fell lightly to the side. Had someone paid attention to him, they would have only seen a blur flying across the hot spring to finally stop beside Murrue. Kody knelt down beside the lifeless body; using his left hand he gently shut her eye lids, next he slid his hand to her right thy once there he pulled a lone kunai from her holster.

Kody lifted the kunai to his headband jabbing the point into the metal he dragged the kunai across, a high pitched squeal reached his ears. “She was being specially trained to combat the Akatsuki. I can’t go back there now. I would’ve gladly followed you Kazu, had you gotten rid of her in a different manner. I’ll do one last thing for my village though. I’ll kill you.”

Kody rose to his full height, his back to Kazu. With one last look at Murrue, he turned to face Kazu, his eyes slowly growing red as he did; the three black tomoe appeared at the same rate. He let his eyes rise to meet Kazu’s, a dark smile crossed Kody’s face.

“You were so interested in the Uchiha clan. It’ll be a treat for you then, when I kill you.”

Kody bit his thumb as hard as he could, as the blood began to flow down his finger he slammed it on the ground quickly writing out the contract he had made with the wolf family. A popping sound erupted from the ground as Kody once more rose to face Kazu.

Soon after a large black wolf was seen standing beside Kody, it’s shaggy and matted mane very similar to Kody’s own hair.

“You don’t call me out for months, and then you summon me and expect me to help you fight someone,” the wolf grumbled with annoyance.

“Yeah, yeah. Just be quiet and help me kick her a**,” replied Kody angrily.
