Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sorrow~

Erkamina was in a bit of shock, mainly from the power of the wind-attack she'd just seen and the blood that now covered her face. The girl that was talking to her friend now had saved her. And yet Erkamina felt no thankfulness to the girl. She was wrapped around her friend for warmth. "You know... I have an extra couple of supplies..." She said distantly as she rummaged through her pack, bringing out a large blanket and massaging its material with a finger. "What time we have before the next wave should be spent resting. No use trying to fight them with limited strength..." At this, she left the blanket within arm's reach of the girl and her friend before jumping off in another direction. As she moved she berated herself about her weakness. "Dang, having to be rescued was not my idea of proving I'm strong. What to do." She sighed and began to pace in the snow and blood covered paths the battles had worn. "What to do... What can I do? I can't do any attack Ninjutsu, I can barely fight. The experiences in that tomb taught me that. Wait... That's it. The Exploding Kunai!" She took out a kunai from her bag and attached an explosive tag to it and jumped back into the fray. She jumped up above another Tengu's head and threw the kunai at its face, hitting with a resounding 'boom', revealling a hole in the beast's face- or at least the mask. Beneath was the crimson of blood, she'd made damage. "Progress without sacrifise is worth nothing..." She said as she charged in with another kunai, digging it into the wound, hitting bone then feeling the weight of the Tengu fall beneath her. "Ah, hit a vessel in the face. Lucky me..." She said as she collapsed onto her target, exhausted from pushing herself so hard...

Keizo didn't even look at it, just tossed it back, it landed on Shouta. "Save it for someone with a chance. Don't waste it on a dying man." he said simply. He didn't bother covering his ears. There was no sound that could bother him- no matter how loud or how shrill. He just watched Rakutsu curiously.

Shouta was meekly fighting to stay conscious, but it was a battle he would soon lose. Between the war, saving as many lives as he could and Rakutsu's healing he had completely drained himself. Now he wasn't even aware of anything that was going on, though he could vaguely hear Rakutsu's voice yelling something.

The Kage from the Village hidden in the Falls walked over to the one that the others called Shouta. The Young Kage's Long Neon red hair pulled up into a pony tail with a wilted rose holding it up. He then looked at Rakutsu "No need to make such a ruckus" He said kneeling down next to the injured Shinobi.

The Kage's chest was bandaged and one arm was in a sling; on top of all that his left eye was bandaged most likely missing. The Kage Let out a slight sigh and quickly made a few hand signs and placed the palm of his working arm and placed it on Shouta's chest, placing a seed on top of him i the center of his chest. With a blinding aura of chakra that surrounded the Kage the single seed on the Boys chest quickly grew and wrapped around his entire figure, almost looking like it was suffocating him; but upon closer inspection it was slowly pouring chakra all over his body healing his wounds. It was clear that this Kage had been placed as the Kage of the Falls not for combat ability but for simply his ungodly amount of chakra; seeing as how he was letting out a blaring inferno of chakra and seeming to not even be effected.

As the aura faded the kage stood up and the plant wilted off of Shouta; every wound healed it appeared as though he was in better condition now then when he had came to the snow; however he would be sore as all hell. "Better?" The Kage asked looking at Rakutsu with a smile.

All the shinobi of Mist came spilling back to the shore where the injured were gathered. There were still some more Tengu left over, but they were being taken care of. As the last of them came, the entire border of Snow was hit with a powerful gust of wind, so strong that many were knocked into the snow! Devonte, who had been air-born when it hit was flung into the snow, dropping the injured shinobi and the corpse that he carried. "WOAH!-UFF!" Once he righted himself, he called- "I need a medic-nin!" he rolled the injured shinobi onto their back. "Easy, easy. I got ya. You're not too banged up." the shinbi groaned. He would live, but he wouldn't be standing for quite some time. Looking up at the man's headband, Dev saw that the ninja was from Sand, as was the corpse. A medic-nin rushed over and immediately began healing the Suna-nin. Dev left the nin to their duty and scanned the border for his brother and Keizo. the old man was dying, last he saw him. Shouta was most likely healing as many as he could..... so where was he? .... and was Suijin alive? The water clone Suijin landed right next to him, dropping two corpses. One a Mist nin, the other a wolf. Devonte just stared at the clone for a moment. If she was dead, it would disperse right about now.... and it looked a bit shakey... it was about to fall into a puddle! Devonte's eyes went wide with shock! He knew she shouldn't have tried that! ******** he knew it! He looked horrified! Was this the last image he would ever see of his dear friend? If she was dead, her body had definitely been obliterated! 'NO! ...NO! NOO!'

"KAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAAA!!! OHH MAN, DEV! AHAHA! YOU SHOULD SEE THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE!!! AHAHAHAAAA!!!" The water clone of the Mizukage pointed at Devonte and doubbled over in a fit of laughter!!! Devonte didn't move. He was still too shocked! his eyes blinked a few times, but even the Land of Snow's winds didn't seem to stirr him. The first sounds uttered from his mouth were jumbled up nonesense.

"H- wh- b y- Itho- you..... YOU b***h!!!" he shouted, punching the water clone of the Mizukage square in the face. She just staggered back a foot, laughing hysterically! "YOU NEARLY GAVE ME A ******** HEART ATTACK!!! WHAT THE HELL'S THE MATTER WITH YOU!" He grabbed her and shookey roughly by the shoulders. She just kept laughing till he stopped.

"Ahee...aheh heh... I'm sorry! I couldn't resist!" she chuckled as her laughter died away, placing a hand on his shoulder. As she did, a half-nervous smile cracked on his lips.

"Heh... you crazy b***h I thought you were dead!" he laughed. They were both panting lightly. No doubt Suijin was exhausted; and all of Kiri and Suna had just made a mad-dash to clear ground zero. "Some party huh?"

"Yeah... I'll say....Just summon me back here when you're ready- alright?"

"No prob." he said to her, but his eyes wandered all over the place. Where the hell was Shouta....and Keizo... and....Nyirei came rishing over.

"Suijin.... are you....?" she panted. She looked as if she'd just recieved medical attantion for whatever hell she'd gone through. There were bandages on her head, arms and legs but she seemed to be all in one piece.

"A clone. But yeah, I'm alive" she said with a reassuring grin.

She let out a sigh of relief. "Th-that's great!..uh- You did great!" Nyirei panted out. Smart as she was, she wasn't too good with words; half of everything she said came out a bit awkward. Hence, why she mostly just stood back and took in information then speaking/spewing out the information where she felt necessary. Dev and Suijin just smiled. Just then- The Mizukage's triumphant cry rang out over the winds.


"Haha! Sounds like things went well!" Devonte chuckled. "Well you're probably exhausted. We'll summon you here in a minute. We just gotta find-" Devonte paled. "Shouta" He pushed past the water clone as it fell to a puddle and bolted to where Keizo, Rakutsu Shouta and the Falls Kage sat. Nyirei turned to see what had worried him. She saw Keizo, wounded as she remembered, Rakutsu seemed fine, that was good and Shouta was lying in her arms, unconscious. "SHOUTA!!!" Devonte skidded to a stop as he approached them, then knelt by his younger brother's side. Shouta looked alright now, but Dev was never one for thinking rationally. "What the hell happened to him?" he babbled out. For a moment, he swayed a bit in his kneeling position. He was feeling a bit light-headed from blood-loss, and continuing to fight like he did after losing his right arm probably wasn't his best idea. But he shook it off.

"The idiot doesn't know his limits! That's what happened!!!" Keizo barked. He was still leaning against his rock, guitar in his lap and a bottle of sake in his hand. "The first damn thing they teach ya as a medic-nin: YA CAN'T BLOODY SAVE EVERY ONE!!! Does he take heed to this? ******** no! He exhausted himself into the most sorry damn state I ever seen anyone!" He continued to rant like that a bit longer ending with- "You damn kids are just gonna end up six feet under ground if you keep this up!" Devonte just laughed a bit. So that was it- Shouta had tried to heal a few too many people. But he'd probably saved many lives in the process. That was just his nature. But Devonte desperately wished Shouta wouldn't push himself so hard like this. One day, it would be the death of him! And Keizo's rant- just his way of saying he was worried half to death for Shouta!

Nyirei ran up to the group after finishing a set of handsigns and held out her right hand as if she were holding the hand of someone else. There was an ornate 'S' on the back of her hand that glowed a dim blue as she sent out a chakra signal. She was waiting for a response from the woman who's name that S stood for.
