Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kirama's form was barely visible as he strolled towards the gates of Vapour.

"Heh, look what the cat dragged in. Some brats from the village." One of the bandits said, already unsheathing his katana at the sight of the shinobi on the lake. The others responded just as quickly, drawing their swords and waiting with an almost arrogant air around them as they did so.

The badit who had spoken, obviously the most prideful scowled and charged without a second thought. "Why you little-!" He jumped and swung his katana down from above Leo. The other two also darted forward, attacking the clones instead.

((Should I help you, Leo? Hakubi's nearby... XD))

A sound of an ensuing battle had reached Hakubi's ears, his feet shifting in the sand as he stood back into an upright position, turning his head to the side in an attempts to look at where the fight was taking place. He had ignored the mysterious man for a moment, then again, leaving him in dead air as((Zeo isn't posting)) he seemed way too silent. Hakubi observed for a moment, a hand over his right hip and the other resting plainly. "I wonder what's going on?" he asked.

(They jumped to try and attack them. They aren't that bright.)

The first bandit blocked the oncoming katana with his own and tried to kick Leo soon afterwards. He was not a half bad swordsman, which explained why his group had been causing trouble. The other two had more trouble, unable to stay on top of the water. Instead, they used the flat of one of the larger blades to allow them to jump again for another attack. At least that was what one of them succeeded in doing. The other was hit by both blades and injured severely if not killed.

((Oh well. Good luck on your mission, Leo. See you in a while, Mistress. XD. I'm off to Magma after...

@Zeo - getting the seal from you now so you won't have to follow me. Self RPing.))

Turning back to the mysterious man, he had smiled, then again, feeling a sudden pain in his chest. His heart began to thump heavily, seemingly pounding out of his ribcage. His vision began to dim out as he felt a surge of lightning play about by his feet, circling his body. It lasted for a short moment, and then, the lightning had dispersed, proving merely that his body wasn't at all adept to using the lightning element. He fell to his knees, in pain, grabing and pulling on the leather of the cloak that covered his chest as the longer he lived, the more painful it had become.

Some sort of burning sensation, that was it, and he could feel it right on that spot where his heart lie. "AAAARRGGHH!!" he screamed, falling to the sand in pain, face flat on the ground. He tried to lift his head, but then, merely saw a white figure a few feet away from him, motionless... What was happening?

Sweat trickled down the sides of his face, from his forehead to his nose, and all. His right hand had been grabbing his chest the whole time, his left hand locked in claws, clawing the sand as he tried his best to get up. Angry, he would want to punch the life out of that man. "What the HELL did you do to me!?" he shouted as he had been shaking, getting up into a somewhat kneeling position. Then again, no reply came from the mysterious man, just a malevolent grin on his face that Hakubi could make out from afar.

Struck with fear, Hakubi had one last major effort of molding his chakra. He had placed his hands palm to palm, and chakra began to spiral around him, causing the sand to be lifted and become a small tornado of white sand as he was trapped in its center. As soon as the sand had reached a certain height, it fell down again... and Hakubi was gone...

"Change your ways in the next life..." Said Leo as he stabs him through the heart to end his life immediately. Leo and his clones cleans there swords in the water and sheaths there katanas and walks towards the vapour gates.
