Hidden Fragment- Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field Kawari made no movement for a long moment, nor gave any sign that she had registered what GeininX had said to her. Indeed, there was only a small facet of her programming that was monitoring current external stimuli. The reappearance of GeininX, so soon after having been killed, had sent a flurry of questing subroutines darting through the electromagnetic neuroscape that made up Kawari's mind. Normally organized and regulated, the short from before, the glitch in her programming was causing the process to both take far more of her processing power than would normally be required; and also to skew the results in odd and random directions.
subject terminated phase shift constant, subject present. query shift aspect y/n. rebooting... The carnadine glow of her eye flickered and dimmed for a moment, had GeininX's words sunk in and had some effect? Or had things gotten even worse, had she shut down? A faint humming could be heard, a tremulous whine that spoke of far-off jet engines cycling into full gear. A spark ran from her eye, down to her arm, and into the air, where it disappeared in a snap of motes of light. This seemed to presage her full awakening, leading to a tense moment where her exact state was still unknown, but shortly to be revealed.
Noze watched, hesitant, shifting back a half pace. She wasn't sure if it was from an ominous feeling she was getting from Kawari, or if GeininX's almost offhand comment on the nature of death in The World had shaken her that much. Death that held not even a shadow of permanency, that was barely a moment in passing before it's effects were promptly forgotten? She had considered death as unto the great equalizer. For in death, all were rendered equal. Even if death be not in permanence, it had substance, meaning, impact. But here it was the merest shadow of itself, the barest brush of gloaming before the sun rose once more. It was just... wrong. She had no better word for it.
At the same time, she couldn't be too completely against the idea, for without that dubious boon, she might forever be restricted to this odd locale. Without GeininX to supervise their return to the real world, there was no guarantee they could ever actually return. So even if this version of death was a pale mockery of the concept that lent her existence, it was, perhaps, all for the best.
Any further consideration was cut off as she saw Kawari begin moving again. From virtually complete stillness to blurring speed, there was only an instant's warning. Too fast for her, but GeininX might have the wherewithal to react in time. Kawari's eye snapped into a deep red once more, even as she subvocalized. 'parameters unclear, detecting active chakra sources, subject hostile, proactive measures'. She rushed toward him once more, legs almost a blur until she stopped just short of making contact with him. She stopped, but not all of her. Her arms, having delayed behind the rest of her for an instant, now continued their forward momentum, both clawed hands now being flung at him in an attack that was completely crude and straightforward, but no less dangerous. It seemed obvious enough that whatever had set her off was related to the same trigger as the first time. That there was either some flaw in her programming that was unable to cope with this place; or that something had been done to enact this change. Something her programming perceived as a threat, or something that had sought to exploit her coding. Either way, she was still in a berserk state, and was still focused on GeininX.

I'm cool now? Cool. It's this one, if you're curious. Wish I had the big one to go with the Tsukasa plush. And no worries, that's why I have so many characters, so I can always just shift gears and write no matter how many get tied up or berserk'd.

<3 So cute~! I've been thinking about making my own giant purple Grunty plush but never got around to it. Now I'm really determined to! Just gotta find the right fabric for it and accept that it will never be as adorable as that plush. He's so adorable and so is the Tsukasa one. >w<
By the way, I'm going to keep GeininX around until we finish here so it's valid; including getting Noze and Kawari out of The World. After that I'm going to move his skill list and then he will just be an npc. -nods-

xxxGeininX seems to think the girl is going to come around and seems to relax his shoulders. That is until she bolts forward, catching him slightly off guard. He would raise his arms to defend at the same time the female would halt her body. He could only manage the thought, "And I thought she was going to be hard to block," before her arms swing forward in an attempt to strike him. He was so absorbed in the fact that she had stopped charging that he didn't notice her strike right away. He almost gets a counter measure in place but not in time enough before she impales the Morgana teen. He grunts and cringes a little before falling limp as her claws dig deep into his body. He wasn't too happy that he didn't even get a shot in and couldn't help but insult himself in his head before his body disappears in much the same fashion as it had before. He would then reappear the same way as before as well. This time he would appear a at the same distance as before from the berserk female but would be more to the left of her. He would try and get his bearings before attempting to attack the female. Maybe he could try striking her across the head like he would a computer and see if that has some effect. Might as well try everything, right?
A boy in his early twenties stood upon the rooftop. It was crazy to think that it had been five years since he had last been here, the village hidden by flame. Five years since Santa Claus, five years since Kekkaishi, Kikyo, Kanshin. Five years since he became a chunin. Five years since he met Kisai... But time has a way of changing things. Those old friends faded out of his life, and so did everyone else. His love was killed by a Double Helix Company shinobi. That was three years ago, and there was no more time to grieve. He had to move on.
The blue-haired man watched the fire flicker in his finger before extinguishing it. He couldn't do it. Why should a whole village pay for something it had nothing to do with? It just brought back too many memories. Not enough to burn it to the ground. He knew he had to make this visit quick. He just needed to learn a few more jutsu and he could be on his way.
The first jutsu was simple, the Double Vision Technique. After learning the complex genjutsu of Brain Nanjuu, this one took under an hour to pick up on. He quickly moved on to learning the Innerfire jutsu. This one was more complex, but he had learned worse. After a couple hours, he had figured this jutsu out as well. Saden took a short break after learning the two jutsu. This place had recovered well since the destruction during the Santa Claus incident.
It wasnt long before Saden decided to get back to work. Finally, he began to teach himself the final technique, the Flameglide. Though a simple jutsu, it's effects fit his battle style perfectly, making it essential to learn. It wasn't long before Saden had mastered it and his feet were engulfed in flames, but they didn't burn him. They only made him faster. The flames around him burned strongly in the village, in his feet, in his soul.

Hidden Fragment- Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field Noze flinched when she saw battle resume. Though it lasted an instant, she knew that it didn't bode well for the continued functions of her traveling companion. If she was still unstable enough to attack without warning, how in the world could they fix her? Once more, GeininX disappeared in a flurry of light, only to reappear a moment later, behind and to the left of Kawari. He came back sooner, that was good, right? This time he didn't try to parley; he rushed in to attack before Kawari had even had a chance to notice he had returned. Unsporting, but under the circumstances certainly justifiable. Kawari wasn't holding anything back, so he couldn't afford to do any less. Noze was frozen in place, she couldn't decide if she wanted to pull away to safety, or stay close in the hopes of lending a hand.
As her clawed hands stabbed deep into GeininX, Kawari gave no sign of recognition of what she'd done. No remorse, not even satisfaction in actually landing a hit, a vital one. Instead, she held still for just a moment. When GeininX began to fade away, she tore into action once more, trying to rip her hands free by pulling them apart. But rather than wreak even more grievous damage on GeininX, nothing happened. He'd already vanished. She slowly panned her gaze from right to left, the movement interspersed by occasional snaps of sparks from her errant eye. She didn't see him anywhere, so she seemed to lose that razor's edge of alertness. A lapse that would prove costly, as the strike to the head a moment later came as a total surprise. GeininX may not have been her strongest opponent, but he had capitalized on a moment when virtually all of her defenses were down. The blow snapped her head sharply to the side, somethign that could have easily caused whiplash in a human. Fortunately, she wasn't a human, any more than GeininX was.
Even so, it took her a moment to recover, straightening up in a series of stiff, jerky movements as she applied a sloppy level of gross motor control to her posture. She began to turn then, to face what had struck her, to see if it was GeininX, or if she had gained a second enemy. warning, concussive force, actv. tertiary phase/R374L, tgt vrbl cue N, tgt optc cue N. searching Her movements were still choppy, unrefined, leading to a potential window of opportunity for GeininX, if he were to try to capitalize on the success of his first attack.

I've considered making my own plushie from time to time, but my sewing skill is pretty pathetic. I'd love to see the final product if you do go for it, though.
And alright, that sounds good to me. Changing his programming from manual to autonomous?
Karaoke retrieved the spear from Hidden Moon ninjas. With a bit of blood still stained on the side of her face. It didn't matter.. she would clean up later. Now she had a ninja to meet in Hidden Wind. Her masters had sent her notice by carrier pigeon. She only sighed as she held an umbrella above her head to keep the sun from hitting her pale skin. She could never get used to not being in the sun. However, she had to stay safe.
"....This village.. is interesting.. it is windy.."
She said as she started to walk around the village. The sun was blocked out by the umbrella. She was used to hunting down her pray. Ripping them apart.. but now she needed to actually find her mark without killing them.
"I wish I could find.. Micha.. she would know what to do..."
She kept twirling her umbrella. IT was a beautiful day out. Instead of wearing her usual shorts, she was wearing a full length leather outfit. she had to keep the sun from dusting her.
"so where are you..diamond user..."
She muttered under her breath.

Hidden Love
Kel lies on his back in the bed and listens to the faint sighs of Hayai as she sleeps beside him. He needed to get out of Hidden Passion. He couldn’t keep doing the same things over and over again. He needed to try and get pass his loneliness at no longer having Cupit, Ren’ai, and Aijou around. It was time for him to try and heal. He would still go to great lengths to forget, but he would no longer be standing still. He ponders over where exactly to start when he notices Hayai turn onto her back, his red tie resting between her large breasts.
“Now just when did you get that,” Kel thinks as he reaches over and removes his tie. He sets it onto his bare chest and then returns to sucking on the cigarette in his mouth. After he blows out what was meant to be a heart but developed a split in it from the cigarette being in the way, he closes his eyes. He had decided that his first destination would be Hidden Love.
Kel stands staring contently at a dinosaur looking thing with a lantern and a large lichen knife somewhere on the streets of Hidden Love. No one is around but there are signs that people were there. Tables are overturned and belongings are strewn about. The shops are open but empty and some of the bikes that people road are on their side all over the place. The little thing wags its tail side to side, fanning the fins out at the end of it. It looks at Kel with yellow eyes and then begins waving the knife a few times. The Aphrodite didn’t know what it was trying to say, but he’d had enough of it attacking villagers. He was looking to heal not to have to deal with a tragedy. “You need to stop this little one. Attacking people is wrong. You will only cause yourself pain if you continue down this path.” The green creature raises the lantern in its hand and soon a black flame shifts around Kel and it. There was no heat from the flame and it seemed harmless, it must serve a separate purpose from harm.
Diving forward Kel notices the creature swinging its weapon, so he clenches one fist. He would have to teach him not to attack people. With a rise and then fall of one foot Kel uses a good amount of his strength to quake the ground. The little green thing jitters around on the unsteady ground before falling down onto its butt. Kel walks over to the creature and then crouches down. He takes the knife from the little guy along with his lantern before he can notice what Kel is doing. It makes a squeaking noise as if to ask for its stuff back. Once Kel stands straight and steps back from it the lizard stands and begins squeaking more. It gestures for its things only for Kel to shake his head. “You are causing too much trouble to get these back. You’ll have to make do without them.” A pained squeak is given but Kel does not waver. “What is your name? When you understand you can’t just attack people then you can have your things back.” The critter seems to stop squeaking and give a squeak that seemed like two syllables. When Kel doesn’t understand he digs into the dirt with his foot. “Tonberry, huh?” Kel crouches down and grabs Tonberry with his free hand and then turns and begins heading towards the docks. “You caused a lot of trouble so now I have to leave with you. You’re going to have to stick with me until I see you’ve changed enough to get your things back.” Tonberry just allows himself to be taking, its face the same oblivious expression it was the whole time.
Once at the docks Kel notices his raft that Hayai had crafted him before leaving the day he headed for Hidden Love from Hidden Passion. “If you break this boat then I’ll break you,” Kel remembers her telling him. He gets into the boat and then sets down Tonberry. He quickly sets down the little ones item, which it grabs at quickly, and then ties the green fellow up using the rope he’d tied the boat to the dock with before Tonberry can even touch his knife. By now the flames around the two have faded away. Kel begins to row the vessel, heading for any destination that was far from Hidden Love.

Programming accepted. So after your post that would make three times he's died by Kawari?
Hidden Fragment: Passed Over
xxxGeininX would be distracted by her position, thinking that she should very well have died, but wasn't entirely so. He had an inkling that she wasn't a regular being so her neck being knocked in that way wasn't outrageous. He was just a touch surprised that he was correct in his assumption. His mind seems to delve into thoughts over how he managed to pull a mechanical being into The World and how it might explain her odd behavior. At the same time he's thinking on if, even if it came down to it, how he would effectively kill her in order to try and reset her in The World. As his mind wanders he would attempt to knee the female in the head as she would turn around to knock her upward in the air and then he would follow that with a punch harboring all the strength he could muster to attempt to knock her back. Should this not work, as she probably wasn't as light as your average human nor as soft, then he would be victim to whatever attack she would follow through with. However, this was not all he had planned. He would prepare to perform another attack but it would not reveal itself right now. So while she would have the chance to take him out, she would not come away as easily as many a time before.

Hidden Fragment- Bursting, Passed Over, Aqua Field Kawari had tried to find GeininX in front of her, the side to side scanning being done in an extremely basic and straightforward manner. If that was a sign of the damage she had taken from the earlier blow, or more a comment toward just how damaged her programming currently was, was impossible to say. What could be said, however, was that she didn't see his next attack coming, any more than she had seen the first. She had been in mid-turn, when his knee collided solidly with her chin. Against a foe of flesh and blood, such a strike would have knocked the head back in a snapping movement, temporarily freezing the body even as the force of impact would lead them off their feet in a flying tumble back several yards. But as before, Kawari was not flesh and blood. She was mostly metal, with some plastics and other alloys. Still, that had been a solid blow, and she had been in mid-movement, not terribly balanced.
So she had been driven almost off of her feet, and left in a perfect position for GeninX's follow-up strike, a simple punch putting all the force and torsion at his disposal into it, focused directly at her center. It would feel like he had punched a pillar of stone, there was very little give in her form.
At the same time, this third strike proved that he may have pushed his luck too far. He'd managed to hit her twice, and so he went for a third, power strike. Strikes like those took time to gather. Even an instant. In this case, that was one instant too many. With Kawari's higher functions basically turned off, her body was working at an automatic level, in the manner of a berserker. Even if her central processor was completely offline, the various redundancies would keep her going. Just like they did now.
She lashed out at the same time as GeininX did, though it was no true exchange of blows. Instead of trying to punch him back, or even stab him through, she lashed out with both arms, taloned fingers grasping as they tried to grab him by both shoulders. Her arms rippled and shifted, the black growth increasing their mass and form into something that looked bestial and savage. Then she began to pull. One hand on either of his shoulders, pulling in opposite directions, bringing a high degree of physical power and savagery to bear against the one who even now landed that third strike on her battered form. Sparks fired anew from her crimson eye, and a faint pulse of electricity ran across her surface, pooling and arcing in places as it continued to flow. [454 + 12,894 = 13,348 out of ??? ]

I look forward to that, and if I ever get one made I'll be sure to try and do that. I think so? Though technically that first death was on Randall's intervention, I think?
It wasn't nearly quite as windy in the village as most guests would guess, but that was due to a few mountains acting as buffering walls against it. Still in honor of its name, when the wind blows the gusts where strong enough to yank umbrellas, kites, or pretty much anything that caught it out of the hands of their owners. The village was small with only a few buildings standing over the others. The largest was the old Kage Building, though it is now been turned into the house of the Hidden Wind Senator. The next few buildings where all two story apartments, totaling about six of them to house the small population of the village along with guests that come to train. All the other buildings where small single story complexes, in which non-ninja families ran business. There was even a section of the village others didn't get to see, it was underground and housed the only clan in Hidden Wind. Its upper most levels where made up of homes, built into the rock for clan members. The closer to the surface the higher the families rank in the clan, Mirabelle's family was housed near the bottom, after the housing was the work portion of the under-village. A large pit, cut into levels, with a spiraling ramp going along the outside. It was here that the clan members dug up crystals to bring to the surface. These where the same crystals used by non-clan members to use their Crystal Claws technique. These crystals would also be traded for food and supplies, as well as a currency for the village. Alas one didn't come to Hidden Wind solely to tour its roads, and vistas.
Inside a small shop there was a girl with medium cut, dark pink hair standing in it. She was waiting for the clerk to appraise her freshly dig gems, but just staring out the window and into the sky as she waited. Her blue top had a few patches of fresh dirt stains as did her cheeks, though not enough to be considered too mired to be in public. After all, most the males came out of the pit covered in dirt. Her soft brown orbs, fall on a splendid sight of a lovely red haired woman, or at least more physically mature than herself. The sight causes the Kailash girl to blush lightly and move away from the window, "I-I am going to step outside for a bit. Please be fair to me, while I am out!" She then leaves the shop with the jingling sound of the bell behind her. Mirabelle smiles, but slowly approaches this new woman in the village, "Hello~ I am Mirabelle Kailash, Genin of Hidden Wind. Is there something I can help you with, Miss?"

Cool. And, right, I forgot that that's what happened. Though, it could be taken as a freak accident as a result of Kawari's attack? Eh, we'll say two. xD
Hidden Fragment: Passed Over
xxxGeininX felt pretty good about himself when he initially performed the knee attack on his opponent. Even after she had not been knocked up and back like he'd wanted, he felt pretty good about it. But at the moment where he was about to strike again, he felt the sting of pain that came with striking an object not made of flesh. He assumed she might have some durability to her, but didn't quite grasp that it would be enough to jar him with pain to the bone. So his strike would falter, he would hang his strike in the air trying to get over the pain of having struck her in such a way. In that moment she would begin even more time to effectively grip him by the shoulders and then commence tearing him asunder. As his body would actually feel the sensation that it might e being torn in two then and there and he begins to increase his throw groans to a blood hurdling screech, and attack would come in just in time to attempt stopping this act from occurring. A tree would begin to shoot up from the ground beneath Kawari first in an attempt to impale her with the forming limbs and then to send her flying upward or shove her backwards from GeininX.
With any luck the Morgana teen would be swept up in the attack and pried from her grip. He would hope the tree would send him into the air and away from Kawari, but that was only if she wouldn't be up there to greet him. Despite this being the plan, the way that Kawari reacted gave some indication that she would be able to react and dodge the strike with him along with her and finish the process of ripping him apart. While he could easily spawn once more, this act would no doubt cause him to be hesitant upon his return.

xxxxThe front door swings open and crashes against the door knocking on the wall. A man with dark navy hair and silver eyes awakes with a start and shifts his eyes to the door. He saw no one enter and didn't hear anything that might hint at why the door had been swung open so suddenly. For the smallest of an instant, the man carried a worry expression. in his state in the bed he would be unable to defend himself and so would be nothing more than a sitting duck. But that feeling soon fades and he is at peace. If that was going to be the moment he lost his life he only hoped that the small girl he companied himself with got away. "Kane, Kane, Kane, Kane, a tiny voice says shakily. He notices a small bun pouncing on the ground and lets out a sigh. "Kane, Kane, Kane~," the small voice continues to say as the bun moves back and a small child is seen bouncing up and down; reason why their voice was shaky.
xxxx"Yes," the man asks, responding to the child saying his name it seemed, "Eki?" He watches the girl stop bouncing and reveal a puzzled expression. "You forgot that fast?" He watches her giggle and then she's positioning her hands behind her back.
xxxx"I did forget," she admits. She then lets her arms rest at her sides and makes her way over to the bed again. She latches onto the white sheets with her hands and tries to climb up but can't get good enough footing. At the moment she is about two feet and eight inches tall, no taller than the average three year old child. Despite that, she was no spring chicken. At least not age wise. Kane watches, longing to help her up, but he can't do anything to aid her. She finally gets up and onto the bed before long and sit on top of Kane's stomach. "Do you want to go outside and play?" She watches Kane's eyes shift from her and then back and understands this to mean he's about to 'kid things up' for her. That meant that he was going to tell her something but in a way where a kid would understand just enough. "I know you're disablist... disabeered... disabled. But I can carry you around? Or I could drag you around. I'm strong!" Eki stands on top of Kane's stomach and begins to flex her muscles when she notices his face become strained. She quickly moves from atop of him and sits beside him on the bed; his eyes following her. "I want to play with you outside," she murmurs. Kane watches her eyes grow a little wet and in his mind is wiping the tear away with his hand, but in reality nothing happens.
xxxx"Don't cry, Eki. I'm sure there are other people in your village that will play with you. If I could I would," he says softly to her. She looks away from him a moment and wipes her eyes with one sleeve. She then turns back to him and her nose is already a bright red but she's not crying anymore. Even though he meant it in a way to tell her it's okay and she didn't have to cry, she thought he was telling her to stop. If he wanted her to stop then she would right there.
xxxx"I don't have friends, Kane, I only have you... And uncle Joker." Kane looks away from her and then back, which she doesn't white catch, and begins to tell her that Joker isn't really her uncle, but he sides against it for now. "Maybe uncle Joker can come over and puppet you around and we can all play together? I'll go and get him!" Before Kane can find the words to stop her she's off the bed and running for the open door.
xxxx"No, wait, Eki," Kane calls but she's already rushed out of the space in the door, leaving it open. That wasn't the safest thing to do but Eki was only a child, she thought nothing of it. Kane ponders over first how to possibly get the door to shut and then over how to get Eki to come back. Kane breathes calmly beneath the black cotton mask covering the brim of his nose to a little beneath his chin. It's tied in a knot in the back and there's a faint symbol for Hidden Steel embroidered in the fabric over his mouth.

Hidden Federation's Hidden Substance
xxxx"If I can find uncle Joker then Kane can come outside and play with me. The small child walks along the streets of Hidden Substance riddled with puddles and water themed landmarks. There's the central fountain in the village molded in the shape of the village founder... which was a puddle, but they make it look very nice. There were the light posts that looked like fountains spewing water upward with an orb like a pearl in the center where the light is. There were also the globs of colored substance here and there that were either actual Meliae or just colored globs of substance. They scaled over Eki but weren't more than about a yard all around. As she moves along she notices someone falling to the ground and then rolling onto their side in a narrow alleyway. She watches a group of people come over to him and begin kicking him. She watches with wide eyes, not knowing what to do, and then reaches into a sleeve. When she doesn't find Ensui she remembers how she'd lost it in the first exam she ever took. What could she do to help him then? She couldn't let them attack him like that. She tries to think about what her uncle Joker might tell her in this situation and can't seem to come up with anything!
xxxxShe begins running over to the group yelling for them to stop but they don't pay her any mind. She tries to grab one of them by the arm and make them stop only for them to push her and knock her onto her butt on the ground. Her eyes grow wet and her face pink as she slowly begins to cry. "Kane, ah hah," she cries over and over only to be ignored by the horde. However, the man they are attacking hears her crying and narrows his navy eyes. The group suddenly freeze in place as the man grunts and gets to his feet. He walks over to Eki crying on the ground and kneels on the ground. Just when she tries to stop her crying and see what's happening, the man covers her eyes with one hand. A gust of wind and and intense sense of static electricity later and then the hand is removed. Eki stares at the alleyway that is now clear of all of the people from before and as it was before she spotted the man. She sniffles before turning to look at the man from before as he stands. Before she can get a good look he turns away, his dark navy hair wafting through the air as he goes. She climbs to her feet and begins walking along after him. He stumbles a little but for the most part seems to walk normal.
xxxx"My name's Eki." The man says nothing and just continues walking. "Are you hurt because you look a little scratched up." When he doesn't respond again she smiles and says, "Where did those people go?" Just when she begins to say something else the man stops.
xxxx"Leave me alone. I don't want to be pestered by some meddling kid." He then begins walking again. Just when he thinks he's run the girl off, he notices her shuffling along beside him. He widens his stride but she struggles to keep up with him. Her feet are moving rapidly, her eyebrows are furrowed, and her arms are swaying faster at her sides. He widens his stride again and she running along after him. "Go away," he demands as he stops abruptly. She tries to stop along with him but winds up tripping and tumbling forward on the ground. She lands face first on the ground and just lays there a moment. Seeing this the man watches her before beginning to walk again. He continues on but doesn't hear the approach of the child. He turns around to find she is still laying there. For a moment he weighs the possibilities. He could leave and not care if she was all right. But he would feel the sting of regret for it later. Or he could check on her and then leave. Having no chance of having regret. He'd go with the second. He sighs, shutting his eyes, and then walks over to Eki. He crouches down as eyes her form as she lays on the ground. He doesn't touch her and barely moves in his position outside of propping up his head with one arm pinned against his upper knee.
xxxx"Kane can't come outside to play..." she whimpers. The man takes this as her being fine and he stands up. "So I went to look for uncle Joker and..." Did she say uncle joker?
xxxx"You're related to that psycho?" Eki raises herself up until she's sitting on her legs but is soon snagged up by one arm. She stares fearfully at the man gripping her and whimpers. She didn't like being held like that. It wasn't that it was uncomfortable. It was more just that it wasn't gentle like she was familiar with being held. The man examines her form and see's no resemblance whatsoever. But he couldn't rule out the possibility that she might actually be related to the Joker he assumed her to be referring to.
xxxx"Uncle Joker is not a stick of path... psy coconut... a psycho. He's uncle Joker!" Eki wrestles against his grip but cannot free herself. She was starting to get scared of this person now. She begins crying out for Kane in fear as the man finally sets her down. She turns from him and begins running away as he watches her go. He definitely couldn't rule out the possibility.

xxxxKane lays on his back in the bed staring up at the ceiling. The door remains ajar as he couldn't come up with a means to close it. Just as he begins to drift into sleep he hears the door slam creek open. This catches his attention. His eyes open up and look to the door but his wariness is soon transformed to concern when he notices Eki running towards him on the bed with eyes full of tears. He waits for her to climb onto the bed and sit on his stomach before even beginning to say anything. But before he speaks he notices that the small girl is shaking, "Did something happen? Are you hurt?" She just cries silently and shakes while gripping the sheets covering Kane with her tiny hands. He wanted to sit up and see if she was all right. Even just nudge her to make her look up from the sheets and to him, but he couldn't move. He'd become almost completely paralyzed after the Chuunin exams and couldn't move more than a few muscles in his face, his mouth, and his eyes. If he knew how, he could probably wiggle his ears too, but that was all. He couldn't feel much aside from the pain in his back when Eki applies too much pressure to his middle. Otherwise he feels nothing more than the sense of touch provides.
xxxxJust when Kane goes to ask her what's wrong again he notices a shadow cast itself in the doorway. His eyes flash over to examine the dark featured male peering at him and he grows a bit angry. "He's... a... meanie!" Eki sobs as she gestures one sleeve to the man that was standing in the doorway. So he'd made her cry? Kane's gaze grows dark as the man frowns a tad.
xxxx"What of it? Are you going to attack me for making her cry? Or will you just lie there?" Kane examines this male and takes in his words. He could tell by the way that Kane was laying that he was bound to that bed. How much, he hoped, the man wouldn't be able to guess. "Tell me where Joker is," he says finally as Kane looks to Eki. Was she going around and telling everyone how she thought Joker was her uncle?
xxxx"She's not..." Kane starts before his attention falls on the sobbing child. It was bothersome for her to be so young and impressionable. He didn't want to hurt or confuse her by saying Joker wasn't related to her. but if he didn't then there was more of a chance that this man might hurt her and all he would be able to do is watch. "She won't be able to lead you to him." He hoped the man would understand his words.
xxxx"I can't just take your word for it," the dark haired male replies as he steps farther inside. He examines the trinkets lying around and pushes over a lamp resting atop a stand. The object crashes to the ground with a loud Crash which makes Eki jump. Before Kane can say anything the Meliae is hugging Kane's chest. She frowns and sticks her tongue out at the stranger as tears continue to fall from her eyes. She wouldn't let that man hurt Kane, that's all she knew. She wanted to run away but every time she thought of running she just kept imagining running over to or hiding behind Kane. If she couldn't run to him then she would stay with him. The male approaches the two and soon pauses.
xxxx"I thought you couldn't do anything and yet here you are... defending yourselves. But it'll only work for so long," he warns. Water from below the ground would have begun to freeze the moment this figure came through the door, and causing them to spring up to form icicles all around the bed that Eki and Kane are in. The icicles would now rise into the air and use the humidity above to form more icicles, which rain down from the ceiling, freezing the underground water and launching it skyward. This process would continue even as the male begins to approach the structure. Kane would have to do more than that to shoe this intruder.

Hidden Federation's Hidden Substance
xxxxThe stranger approaches the icicles shooting up from and then down to the ground in a cycle and stops. After a brief moment he proceeds through it seamlessly. As he proceeds forward the icicles seems to be rapidly cut into by what appears to be wind until it is no more than tiny fragments of ice in the airspace. These fragments are then blow away from him without an issue. This was not good. Kane had worked on that technique the first time he had managed to perform it almost two years ago. He didn't have any other trick up his sleeve. Eki clings to Kane a while longer before feeling herself being pulling. She clutches tighter to the Tetsu only to finally be torn away from him. "Kane," she cries, reaching for him as the stranger from before raises her near the icicle barrier. Kane instantly ends the ability and the icicles stop forming and even revert to water and splatter to the ground. There wasn't really a need for Kane to stop the attack as Eki couldn't be killed using that method. However, it would be mentally scarring, he felt, if the young girl was torn to bits and still survived. He'd have to explain what happened much like how he did an instance before when she was blown apart.
xxxxEven then he had to sugar coat it. Besides, he didn't want this stranger to know just how durable the child was. in that way she might be safe from him should things take a bad turn for the worst. "Where's Joker," he asks Eki who says nothing. She just reaches for Kane. He swings his arm up and down to shake the Meliae before asking again, "Where is he?"
xxxx"Let her go," Kane calls out in anger as the man turns from the girl to him. Then he would use this man against her and make her talk. He tosses the girl away from him, her hitting her head on the ground first before bouncing and coming to rest on her behind. She rubs her head a moment before noticing the man approach Kane. She gets to her feet to try and stop him when she notices a dagger in the mans hand, aimed at her favorite Tetsu.
xxxx"Tell me... or he's dead," the man threatens. Kane tries to reason with him not to torture the poor child but the man ignores him. He just presses the tip of the dagger to the man's throat. Eki cries for him to stop but he does not. "Tell me..."
xxxx"I don't know," Eki finally cries out and suddenly the room grows very bright. After a few moments the light fades away and Eki raises herself up from the ground. She looks over at the alleyway before her and then over to the man turning and walking away with dark navy hair."I had a dream and you were there and Kane was there and there was ice and it was cold and--"
xxxx"I've had more than enough of you for one day. You have no information that is important to me. Now go away." When this male had covered Eki's eyes before he not only shielded her from what he had done but also infused some of his chakra into the girl's body. In a way he made her body fall prey to a Genjutsu rather than her mind and thus was able to pull even her into a Genjutsu. So everything that happened didn't actually happen.
xxxx"Can you please take me and Kane to find uncle Joker? I heard he was in Hidden Mist a few days ago so--" The man stops and turns to look at Eki. She wasn't lying in the Genjutsu. She didn't know where Joker was. But she had information regarding where he'd been. Not only that but she had an interesting make up to have evaded some of his Genjutsu. He should have been able to pull even that information from her. Eki watches him with a smile before readying to go on.
xxxx"Take me to him and then we'll see. I don't have time to play. I need to find Joker," he replies cooly as he turns to face Eki.
xxxxShe had finally found a friend besides Kane. Now she had three special people and three special animals in her life. As they would walk the man would get the odd sensation that he had also been in a trance while she was within the Genjutsu, but can't place why. "Come on Yu Danka," the girl finally says as she rushes inside of her home. Hearing her say his name he realizes that he had in fact succumbed to some illusion. Well, not any illusion. She may very well have reflected the Genjutsu he'd cast on her on him on a weaker level. how much information did she get and how could he have not even gone through the cinema of the Genjutsu? More than before, he was interested in keeping her around not only to find Joker but for other strategic reasons.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha! You see? She wanted to lend a hand and here it is, Heru laughs maniacally. Her pink eyes gleam as she opens them up wide and grins. She holds an arm in one hand and is waving it all about. She eventually stops and presses the limb to her cheek. "You aren't bothered by this, are you? She's just a doll. I can fix her if you want me to?" She spares a small pout and a tug of her eyebrows before she's grinning like before. "Or I'd like to. But if I do then you might get funny ideas. You belong to me and I to you. We can't have things like this getting in the way of our loving relationship!" She drops the arm and the sound of ceramic cracking is heard. "Oops," she blurts out. She covers her mouth with her hands, smiling behind it, and then removes them. She fixes them behind her back and skips around the bare room a little. She stops, adjusting the tan dress she's wearing that barely comes to her knees and then slowly approaches a figure hanging from some rope from the ceiling by their wrists. "Yes, my love?"
One of the straps of the sleeveless garment she is wearing droops down as she places her palms to the figure's chest. She looks up at them and drinks in their facial expression. "Heru... please stop hurting Melissa-chan--"
"She's not Melissa-chan. She's just Melissa. Just a play thing for you. I can't hurt a toy anymore than I want to hurt you, my love." She watches the man grit his teeth and then touches a hand to his cheek. "You shouldn't do that. It's bad for your teeth." Heru steps back from the man who jerks his face away. She looks into his sickly yellow eyes in anger."I only want the best for us! I want us to be together happily! Why won't you give up on that stupid doll and love me," the young girl shrieks. Her eyes are wide and her pupils are shrunken. The veins in her head are easily visible in her rage. "I would do anything for you and yet you can't love me back? Why? Tell me!"
"Because you're more of a doll than Melissa-chan. You're only good for playing with and then throwing away. And when you are played with it's only to test things out so better dolls don't get messed up." Heru stares at the hanging man, angry, before she slowly begins to smile.
"My love Tama would never say that to me. That's too outrageous!" Heru is soon standing and staring into a long mirror on a wall looking blankly forward. Her eyes are narrow and her face is calm. But something about the vacant stare as she stares at herself hints that she's not all there, or that she wasn't. As odd as it seemed she was fantasizing about the love of her life, Tama Sonnie, where they were fighting over the importance of Melissa. The daydream lacked detail and it seemed too out of character for Tama in a lot of ways, so she had to stop herself. "You little tart wanna be. Can't you even imagine him right? Thinking up that type of Tama is the equivalent of thinking of another man. You whore." She soon smiles and fans her reflection off. "I do prefer an angry Tama over a calm one. It's not like he wouldn't get mad. It's just that he would never say cruel things to me because he loves me. I'm the girl of his dreams. The love of his life." As she talks she turns from the mirror and looks about her room. It's got a ton of shades of light purple on just about everything, even her clothing.
She clutches the handle of a paint bucket as she soon begins to spin around and around. She drops the bucket, the contents slowly draining out, and then embraces herself. She laughs a while before sighing and then leaving out of the room through a door painted lilac. Once she enters into the halls everything is a different color... a single color. Red stains the floor and walls as Heru skips from the open door of the room she was in and makes her way to a spiraling staircase. "I'm hungry. I want cherry pie!"
