Welcome to Gaia! ::

After Shisui, Demon and Ayami had left, Ryu was standing alone in the center of his village, not moving and breathing slowly behind his Mask of the Everglades. Ryu was feeling somewhat hungry, and needed a meal .He couldn't remember the last time he had eaten... a human. Just then, Ryu felt the presence of another nin behind him, and soon heard the footsteps as well. Instead of hiding and trying to ambush this nin, Ryu decided to make it worth his while and fight for his food, making the hunger rise so he could savor the meal all the more. Ryu waited for the nin to get closer then turned and bowed to him. "Welcome to the Village Hidden in the Mist. My name is Aokawa Ryu" Ryu said softly, "how may I help you?" Behind his mask, Ryu licked his lips and waited for the nin to speak, hoping he would for for the ploy.

As the young nin walked past Ryu without so much as a hello, he bumped into him. Ryu, being gentle, or at least trying to be, whirled around. How insulting. Ryu was somewhat hunched over, his arms dangling before him. "It's not very polite to disrespect a Hidden Mist ninja like that." Ryu hissed, "that kind of body language and actions is what gets people killed here... and nobody ever finds out who did it." Ryu smiled behind his mask and licked his lips. The boy was falling for the trap. First, Ryu had to get him to disrespect him so he could engage the young ninja. Then, he would trick the boy, kill him, and feat on his soft, somewhat chilly flesh. Ryu straightened up and flickered in front of the boy. If they intended to brush past him, he intended to make himself known. "I forgot to mention... I'm of the Hoshigaki clan." Ryu said slyly. Then he flashed afew hand signs and flickered to an undisclosed area in the mist, waiting for the boy to react.

Ryu started laughing like a crazed maniac, but in a softer tone. It echoed throughout the mist as Ryu heard the joke about the "Freak Fish" people. Ryu, slightly more insulted, began to walk towards the boy, who was actually only a few steps behind him. Ryu turned on his heel, and whipped out a whip out water from nowhere. Ryu watched as it curled around the boy and brought him to his knees. Ryu wasn't planning anything at the time, other than to shock some sense into the kid. Ryu walked slowly up to the boy, and knelt down in front of him. "Freak fish people, eh?" Ryu said snidely, "you must not know who I am... I am Aokawa Ryu of the Hoshigaki." Wit that, Ryu slowly too khis mask off, revealing his completely human features, other than his lateral line on his neck. Ryu paused for a moment, then smiled, flashing his small but fierce rows of dagger like teeth at the boy and put his mask back on, and stood up. "The next time you see my face, you will die a few seconds later, right before I devour your body." Ryu released the whip and backed up into the mist again blending in and hiding from the boy who was still on his knees from Ryu's little speech.

Ryu could almost shout with joy. Almost, but he wouldn't. The boy was standing his ground instead of running away. Ryu made another string of hand seals, and slammed his palms to the ground. A large rectangle the size of a football field was cut into the ground, and depressed almost instantly to 50 feet. Ryu then expelled water from his gullet, and filled the depression with it. The boy would fall into the now swirling waters of the new lake that has just appeared, as it had happened right under him. The torrents of the water would keep him in the water until Ryu was done with him. Ryu ran out onto the water, and began searching for the boy.

Ryu slid to a stop on the water, seeing the boy throw items into the water as he plummeted in. Perfect. All of a sudden, explosions were being set off below him like sub bombs. Ryu quickly flipped backwards until the explosions ceased, which made the waters all the more violent. Ryu wanted to play with his food, so he made a few hand seals and watched as five waves of water in front of him turned into vicious water sharks, than began seeking out the boy in the water, who was probably struggling to get a grip on something to get out of the torrent. Ryu tried to see where the boy was at, but instead decided to find him himself. Ryu dropped into the water, and started to swim around looking for the boy, not affected at all by the surging water around him, as he made it calm about an inch from his body wherever he swam.

Ryu watched as the water sharks dragged the boy down into the 50 foot hole in the earth. After a few seconds of gnashing at him, Ryu called off the sharks, and let the water sink into the earth. There, at the bottom of the pit, lay the boy, gasping for air. Ryu slowly made his way down to the boy as the water descended, and finally made it to him. Ryu knelt down, and grabbed the boy by the collar. He lifted him off the ground and looked at him. The boy was bleeding, not severely, but bleeding nonetheless. Ryu dropped him on his arse and pointed his hand at him, his fingers pointing at critical points of his body. "You see, this is what happens when you disrespect a ninja from the Hidden Mist village." Ryu said in a matter-of-factually tone, "now, you'll see my face soon, as it will be the last thing you ever see until your next existence. I'll leave you a few moments to cry for help, then I'm going to kill you." Ryu made a single hand seal with his left hand and held fast, waiting for the boy to scream, or just wait until he wanted to kill him.

Ryu started to chuckle. "A suicidal last wish? Tch tch tch." Ryu said, "that was the wrong thing to do." Then, Ryu surged his chakra to his fingers, and shot out five of his tendrils. they impacted the young nins body, and held him to the ground, the blood flow temporarily stopped. It must as hurt like hell, but Ryu didn't mind. Ryu slowly pulled off his mask and smiled at the boy. "Good by" Ryu said smiling his evil smile. He picked up his Garian Tou, and stabbed the boy right in the chest. Ryu retracted the tendrils, and repeatedly stabbed the boy in multiple places, killing him indefinitely. Ryu squatted next to the dead body, and started to saw off the arms and legs, then the head. Ryu started to at the arm of the boy, and sat own to enjoy his feast.

Ryu stopped chewing on the boys arm, and turned his head towards the boy in the tree, blood dripping form his mouth. "Sure, I was only going to eat the arms and legs anyways." Ryu said in a flat voice. He continued gnawing on the arm, ripping the skin from the bone, and chewing on it tastily. He cut the arms and legs away from the body with his garian tou, and tossed the torso out behind him, then continued to eat.
