“ Son of ah-” Mashira's eyes snapped open to such a strange sight before her eyes. She was now standing in the buzzing village of Hidden Leaf, being surrounded by Reiko, Lilith, and annoying towns people. She couldn't explain how they got here however a part of her did not even want to question it. As she turned her head back towards her two companions she couldn't help but to notice they where in their original bodies. With wide eyes she quickly lifted her arms up in front of her. ' No more fur,..' She thought while a grin slowly spread across her face. She then quickly turned her head to the left side and saw a lack of tail. Least to say the child couldn't have been happier at this point. “ Where back to our normal self's! No more s**t being stuck in my fur!” She said while throwing her left arm in to the air. It was a bit strange being back in to a human flash state as she was starting to get use to having fur. Now everything just seemed colder then normal and even the slight winds in Hidden Leaf made the hair on her arms stick up.

As she turned towards her team mates she couldn't help but to grin when seeing that both of them had returned to their normal bodies. It was a shame that Reiko had turned back in to his manly self as she was looking toward to having a kid her age with her power. ' Ah well, more freakish looks for me' She thought with a shrug of her shoulders. She then turned towards Lilith, seeing that the now proper demon queen was alive, but injured. The demon woman certainly over did herself in the battle compared to herself but in some way it made more sense. Chaos was always fun however when in the end it was always just fun and games compared to true destruction. After all, compared to Loki's children he was almost nothing but a laughing riot. he had his bag of tricks and was given tales of bravery and some quest of horror however his offspring made him look weak. ' It was a good thing we didn't face them. Might have abandon these guys for my lord.' She thought while glancing down at the pendent she wore which was a medal shape of Fenrir.

“ I'll heal her,” Mashira finally said after a few seconds of watching the two. “ I haven't used medical jutsu in years but show me your wounds and I'll guarantee that no scar will be left. unless you want to go for that bamph look?” She asked while walking over towards Lillith with the same childish grin on her face. “ Can't blame ya want them.” She simply said before glancing over towards Reiko who was slumped over at the nearest tree. He didn't seem to have any injuries but she could have been wrong. It was hard to tell at there was some interesting smells within the village of Hidden Leaf. Some where very familour to her nose however most of the smells where annoying and smelled of children who where being in some kind of teen age lust made. Least to say her nose was wishing their slaughter.

Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius

Shikarama could see that Logan had been tired by all of this as well. As he shut off his Byakugan, the Hyuuga's chakra faded down. He had stepped towards them both as they spoke, silent, hands at his sides. Aya looked to him, smiling weakly with a nod. "Are you okay, too, Logan?" She asked with a shaky voice. Logan lightly nodded in response, "I am fine. It was by sheer fortune that we survived. Had the Anbu not shown up, given his resistance to our attacks, and what he was about to do, we had no chance of winning, ourselves." Aya brought her gaze back to Shikarama. Shikarama then turned his gaze for a moment to Karaoke, whom he hadn't seen since the academy. She had picked up her, hat with a sigh upon her seemingly faceless face. She turned to him and Aya, her eyes seeming to scan them over, particularly Aya. Shikarama's own eyes grew wide then, as before them Her form changed, shifted into that of Aya's. Aya herself looked that way just after it happened, surprised as well, rubbing her eyes. It wasn't even a transformation jutsu, but an actual change. She closed her eyes, walking towards and past them all. Shikarama was about to ask how she did that, when she spoke instead. "Good to know that you didn't die back there.. cause I have a feeling that I want to fight most of you in the exams..But its good to see that a lot of you will be a challenge. I thought there wasn't a good fight left in this world." He looked down at the mention of the exams, the ones he hadn't quite been up to the task to complete. His eyes glanced to the blue-eyed Logan, whom had passed it despite the odds. He shook his head, forcing these thoughts out. He looked to Karaoke in her Aya form, as she smiled to Aya, tilting her head, and walking from them. Her hand ran through the brim of her hair, and with a smile she licked her lips. "Good luck.. I doubt that next time we meet we will be compadres. However opponents trying to gain the next rank..of ninja hood...." Aya sighed, looking back to Shikarama and Logan. It was quite an answer that she gave. "N-Now someone just stole my identity..." Shikarama placed his hand from hers to her shoulder, noticing the fear in her expression. "It's going to be Alright, Aya. I know whom that really is. I know her chakra as well. If anything bad comes of it, I will help you deal with it." He turned and began to lead the both of them away from the damage. It was best to find somewhere to eat first. Holding Aya's shoulder, he lead her towards a grill restaurant. He could hear Logan following behind them.

“ Healing is always fun. ” Mashira said with a grin on her face, actually being excited about doing medical work again. It had been so long she helped people, or tortured them with the use of medical jutsu. Being a kage had taken that fun privilege away from her as she was forced to handle paper work instead of handling bodies. It was a true annoyance to have ones passion taken away from them because of another dying. As she turned back to face Lilith her eyes suddenly grew wide with fascination. it was not from the wounds she saw as blood did not effect her anymore, but of the other girls appearance now. She looked different then before, in a way that she could not describe. There was still a humanoid appearance of the woman however something was a bit off. She almost appeared as if she was carved from stone, and then it was slowly destroyed over the years, having cracks appear. Her eyes held a reddish color in them, much like hers but in a more adult manner and her lips where as blue as a person who stood in ice. ' Like our own weeping angel,' She thought while tilting her head to the right side a bit.

The girl couldn't only blink a few times as the others new appearance sinked in her head, wanting to remember the new look of Lilith for later reference. Once she realized that she had been staring for too long the girl ended up walking over to the now gray skinned woman. She brought up both of her hands and placed them over the larger wound which was on the girls chest. It was strange that the wound wasn't fatal and the woman should have considered her self lucky to still be alive. ' Must be some demon healing power,' She thought before she forced her chakra in to her own hands. Both of her hands started to glow a light green color, waving around her finger tips and palms. She then forced that chakra in to the other woman's body, and watched with mild amusement as the wound was slowly starting to close. watching the skin layers slowly pile on each other was an interesting sight, but not as grand as seeing it reattach it's self to the flesh. It took her over five minuets before the wound was completely healed, causing her to take a step backwards, and started at the woman's body, wanting to make sure that there was nothing else needed to be done.

As she looked the girl started to circle her, wanting to intake everything. Once she did a full circle around the woman she ended up standing behind her. She then placed her hands on the female's shoulders and started to push down on a few pressure points, and using her fingers to massage around. “A few of your muscles are torn and bruised. If you don't massage them at least once in awhile then they will grow part and it will be a very annoying exspirence to get them out. Might as well help ya now before your 60 and wings are falling to the ******** ground.” She said while she pressed a few more points, not caring if the womans clothing was in the way. She figured it didn't matter as long as she didn't have armor around her body.

Karaoke only opened the door to see Sora wasn't home. She only sighed a bit. She had spent way to much time..fighting evil and not learning what she needed. She sat down for a moment reviewing her notes of the current situation that she was in.. or at least what she thought based on the small bit of investigation she had done. Chaos had came into the villages by using giant space crabs. however.. They had not seem to come from Drago. He looked like a vessel of Chaos.. to cause problems. Chaos was therefore not over. She wondered if the rest of the villages had plunged into this same problem. She let out a small sigh. As she finished walking through the house reviewing the notes. She couldn't udnerstand what was happening and why leaf had found him to be of any importance. It was probably due to past. Not her problem. Whats he needed to do was get stronger..and go home. She needed to report.. but it didn't matter. They hadn't sent for her.

"Eh I guess I need to get ready for the exams.."

She moaned. She had to learn to control the wind that she had chosen for her element. she simply sat at a tree and placed some targets. She knew that she couldn't control the wind..but she was a guide for it. However guiding the wind took extreme practice and know how. She even understood that siome wind attacks.. you couldn't even control. But that didn't matter. At least right now. She simply pointed towards the target and started to throw wind daggers at the trees. Each dagger would pierce the target not leaving an obvious dagger.. but it left a wound on the tree. The bark would break. The bark would crackle. The tree would split. She was developing a sense of style and flair with the attacks. She kept throwing the daggers faster and faster. Until she could do it with her eyes shut.

"I think I need to go to the federation.. Go to Hidden Wind. They can help me become even more in sync with the wind...It just feels strange depending on nature and not my fist... I don't understand how people use these ninjutsus.. when wall you need are your fist. But if it will make me better.."

she said to herself. she looked around to make sure nobody was around. Nobody was around. She left to go to the small place she was staying to gather her things. It was time for her to move on. She would go to Wind.. and develop her style even more..that way.. she could dominate the competition without even a thought. The wind was her way.. and she would mkae sure that she understood it completely.(X2)

It was still miserable, and the back streets where nearly completely empty. The cloaked figure knows that there are safety in numbers, and that a loner is caught or killed first. He was no ordinary loner, but if his identity was revealed before the completion of his plan.. Well then all of Leaf would be out to kill him, and there is only so much one person can do alone and out numbered. Making his way to the more populated streets the cloaked man merges and blends with the crowd. Due to the steady rainfall most the villagers where in cloaks, so this only allowed him to blend in better among the unknowing villages. The man walks and moves through the crowd towards the Hokage Building, though he moves with the crowds he is always going towards that massive building.

That is when he saw her! The woman dressed differently from everyone else, to a point it was obvious to him. Yet, others were unaware of her presence at all. Those exotic tattoos, and the wolf-like mask are a few things that drew her out to him, but perhaps his eye was better trained to spot such things. Then his eyes fell on her indigo globes, and this sent a chill down his spine. It was almost as if he was staring down the perfect hunter, a great and powerful wolf that left nothing of its prey but a passing memory. The man felt a tingle down his back as he pressed on, knowing he wasn't her prey though her skills would be to his advantage. Unlike most of his clan, the male felt he embodied the ideals of the White Heron far greater than other, so what would the power of a wolf be to him.

The rain was still falling, slowly but surely churning the dirt road into a muddy morass. Each step seemed to take a little more effort as the mud sucked at her feet. She didn't use any variant on the Water Walking skill, the use of chakra could well alert others to her presence before she was ready. No, better to endure the nuisance until the opportunity was at hand. Looking up to the sky, she couldn't see the stars. Not from the approaching dawn, but from the thick rainclouds blocking them from sight. A pity. A properly moonlit night would make things more enjoyable. No matter.

She continued to slip through the crowds, as noticeable as a wisp of smoke. This was as it should be, her presence undetectable for the nonce. A moment later, she came to a stop, letting her stealth lapse for a moment. Maintaining it wasn't a huge drain, but it was still a drain. By now, she had already made her way pretty deep into Hidden Leaf. The guards were largely posted at three main areas. One, the most obvious, was the village's borders. She'd already gotten pretty far past those, none of them could see her now, not from their normal vantage points. A pretty big lapse that was just begging to be abused. The other two locations were just as obvious. The local Council Meeting Hall, which was also home to the village's vaults, where the wealth and treasure was stored, and the Hokage's dwelling. She wasn't necessarily going to go to either of those, so there was little chance of a guard seeing her, outside of pure chance. So she didn't worry about a few moments spent uncloaked, who could see her?

She just had to think that, didn't she. As she had rounded a corner, she felt someone's attention on her, as obvious as a physical sensation. Turning, her gaze fixed on someone, someone who had spotted her. Her gaze narrowed as she realized she'd been spotted, even before having a chance to really cut loose and have some fun. But why hadn't they sounded the alarm? Oh, she could see now. Even in the rain, her vision was at least good enough to pick out the symbol on their hitai-ate, they were from Hidden Moon, not from Hidden Leaf. So, did that mean they were an intruder as well? Nonetheless, could she really just let someone who had seen her go?

She couldn't slip into the shadows without remaining spotted, this stranger had managed to find the weakness in her unique methoid of stealth. Once spotted, it was exceedingly difficult to hide again. True for other methods, but even more so for her own. All the more reason to find out if this stranger was an enemy. She certainly couldn't just ask if he was, nor could she attack in the open like this. The heavy rain might mask some of her activities, but an actual overt act of hostility was almost impossible to ignore. All the same, she needed to find out. She stalked forward, not bothering to try to circle around him, now that she'd been spotted. At the same time, however, a kunai slipped into her hand, though there was no clear indicator of where it had come from. Just like her. Now that she had drawn a weapon, how would he react? That was worth finding out.

If it wasn't the heavy cloud cover, then surely the light pollution would be the cause of being unable to see the stars in the night sky. It was a shame, seeing as being from Hidden Moon, the cloaked figure loved the bright moon lit nights opposed to the cloudy, rainy ones. As for the muddy streets, the cloaked man's heavy boots didn't sink an inch into them since he was trying to not leave a trace of his existence in the village. He was easily unnoticed due to being able to blend in. If it hadn't been so rainy then his cloak wouldn't fool anyone, so it was secretly a blessing to him. He knew the patrol routes, for the most part, and knew that as long as he kept from the walls then his chances of being spotted before his designated target were slim. It seemed that the village had gotten sloppy in its defense, so long as you got past the walls and avoiding the Kage building and the council's meeting hall, as the streets were largely not patrolled. Unfortunately for him, the man had to go to at least one of them, if not both to find what he was looking for.

His gaze still locked onto the this woman as he carefully walks towards her. He didn't need to call attention to himself and seeing as she had no visible hitai-ate or other markings to determine her village of origin and service. Clearly she wasn't from Hidden Leaf as she didn't raise an alarm seeing the cloaked Moon ninja. Could it be she was a power rouge hunter, who used her deadly skills as that of a mercenary. Was she the Hidden Leaf's secret assassin? It would seem that none on the streets seems to even pay her mind, as if she was a ghost only haunting Katsurou's mind. Even as the seemingly peerless predator draws a kunai and moved cautiously towards him with it in hand. Of course the male didn't reach for the long blade on his back, doing so would give him away as well as give the message that he wished to fight. Instead the male calmly walked up to her and took the blade of that kunai quickly with his left hand, which is covered in a clawed gauntlet made of a black metal. The male leans in close so that his lips are inches from her ear, a dangerous act towards a woman that has drawn a weapon on him already. "I am not your opponent, unless your an assassin for this village. If not then I have a mission to see through and can't risk you alarming a guard before I finish it." The whispered statement was ended by him squeezing his clawed gauntlet so that one of the bladed 'fingers' tapped the woman's hand.
