Welcome to Gaia! ::

an image of a kitten on Fang's chest napping flits into your mind.

*wanders into the library yawning* I really should stop sleeping so late *shrugs* oh well it's fun. *picks a scroll at random and starts to read* "and that is when...*blushes* ok wrong section we'll just put this back and pick a new one." *puts the scroll back and wanders to a different section of the library* "judging from the dust i'm guessing I'm in part of the library people don't use often." *glances around* "oh its my office" *walks in and falls asleep in a chair*

(okay)

Fang wakes up and finds his brother sitting on the table near the bed. "good morning, Brother."

Hawk shakes his head and sighs. "i can't believe your still in bed. and after such a weak attack. you used to be so much stronger. what happened?"

Fang looks up at the ceiling and pet the cat that was curled by his side. he's silent for a few minutes, while Hawk waits patiently. "i've lost my memory brother."

Hawk stares intently at Fang. "i could tell. otherwise, that punch i gave you wouldn't have hurt you. you'd just have smiled and hit me back. it's a shame. i used to love our little fights." he pulled a chair out of the air and sat down backwards, the back of the chair facing Fang. "I've asked Moonfire what she knew, but she doesn't know who's sealed you." he frowns. "she has, however, told me that Lanfaer was sealed as well. that's not good. he wont take that for long."

Fang's eyes shift to his brother. "he probably won't. but i have no choice. the seal is all that's saving me right now. Lanfaer is cursed." he eyes the sword on against the wall not but a few feet away. "he wails sometimes. i think he's hurting. and i've been losing control of my power recently."

Hawk nods. "I noticed. i couldn't tell wear you were, but i knew that you had almost broken the seal i'd tought you to put on yourself." he lays his head on his hands and sighs. "i'd seal you, but i have to speak to the Hobo first."

Fang sits silently for a minute. "Brother, do you know the Hobo's name?" he was curious. he knew that that just couldn't be his name.

Hawk nodded. "But i can't tell you. he wants no one to know. and because of that, i wont tell anyone unless he gives me permission. but that's not what i'm here to talk about." Hawk sat silently, his mind filled with forboding thoughts.

Fang notices the change in Hawk. "what is it? something's bothering you. you can't hide that from me."

Hawk sighs and nods. "aye, you know me too well." he sits quietly for a few more minutes. he then looks at Fang from over his hands. "Shakaar is here."

Fang sat bolt u[right, startling the cat and causing pain to shoot throughout his body. he grabbed his ribs and laid back down, sending soothing thoughts to the cat until it laid back down and went back to sleep. "i thought he was banished from this world."

Hawk sighed and stood up, crossing his arms. he looked out through the waterfall at the scenery beyond. "he was. i'm not sure how he's come back. but he has, and that's all that matters."

Fang looks at his brother, and he fought down a rising panic. Shakaar was their other brother. he was a master of the dark arts, more so than even Orochimaru could ever hope to be. a while back, he set the Nine-Taled Fox upon Konoha. For that, he was banished from the world. he was powerful. "The shinobi of this village stand no chance against him. they'll all die."

Hawk smiled and chuckled. "you underestimate the power of this village. that is why i had come to the village in the first place. you know that i'm not aloud to fight him head on. we'd tear the world apart. but right now he's weak. weak enough for the shinobi in this village to kill. If they work together." he turned back to Fang. "that is why i must speak to all of the Futokages. i will ask them to wage war against Shakaar when he makes his appearence."

Fang shook his head. if Hawk was right, they could kill their brother and banish his soul from this world forever. "But Hobo is not here right now. How long can we wait?"

Hawk walked to the exit of the cave and stopped. "not long. a few months at the most. i'm willing to take that long if necessary." he looked over his shoulder at his brother. "get well soon, Fang." and with that he left the cave.

Fang lay in the darkness, his thoughts bleak. could they do it? he didn't know. only time would tell. he'd have to keep this from the others until Hobo returned. he lay there, thinking.

somewhat surprised, he hugs her back. "what's wrong, Matsuki? it's okay. i'm here."

(oh god! HAPPY ANIMUS!!))

he smiles and hugs her closer. "It's okay. all that matters is that you didn't."

he chuckles. "Hawk is far stronger than you can imagine. he'd have stopped you. as would i have." he thinks about Itachi, and he had to quickly swallow the Rage that built up at the thought. "and he has to be somewhere. everyone's somewhere."

he sighs. "you've never seen him in combat." he looks around. "and if it's any consolation, Sasuke hates me too. we got another thing in common. and you wont have to worry. you were able to stop yourself from using it before. you can do so again. i have faith in you." he kissed the top of her head.
