Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raga seemed a little reluctant to answer, but finally, after a long moment of consternation, she did. She admitted that she had managed to capture several. Just a few, really, ones who hadn't been paying attention to their surroundings or were otherwise distracted. She didn't know where they had been taken, though. Only that when she informed her masters, moments later cloaked figures came to whisk her captives off, and to give her her reward. The Kon twins weren't heroes, they didn't even consider themselves good people. Even so, something about the situation seemed wrong to them. They wanted to try to free those other captives, if possible. But how? They asked just that question, and a moment later, raga reluctantly spoke up. She knew of one way to get there, but they wouldn't like it. Pose as her captives and be carted off like the others had been. She was right. They didn't like it.

After what they had heard, it hadn't taken Shouta and Lolita very long to decide that they were indeed going to go ahead with the plan. And judging by how well they had handled Raga, if it was their libidos that were driving them, they would surely succeed. For the moment though, they needed to, regrettably, get dressed. And then, not nearly as regrettably, leave this barren and twisted landscape. After a surprisingly small amount of groping and ogling, the three were dressed once more, and ready to set out. Since Raga was the one who had brought them, it would remain to her to bring them back. She nodded, she was perfectly willing to help them out. After all they had done fore her, or rather to her, she was firmly in their camp now. Soon, a dark clouded wind began gusting up, beginning to surround the three of them in a dark twister again, just like before. Without a sound save the roaring of the wind, they disappeared, the twister left to dissipate, leaving no sign of their ever having been there.

Hurdy opened his eyes as he appeared in the after life. It would seem the little girl finished him off with another assistant, a scythe wielding Zoto. But that was then, this was now. Hurdy was dead in the after life. He began to walk around the place, trying to kill time. He knew he had twenty four hours until he was to be free.

After the mass killing that happened in twilight, due to the angra mainyu's "Auction", Hurdy had ended up in he after life yet again. He was just back from here as an enkou, but I guess it didn't work out like he planned. He was very angry, and now wanted revenge on them. As a missing ninja, he had no other obligation to the ninja world and could pursue his own goals. He planned on doing this as soon as possible as he needed to get back to earth. He really hated it here as it was quite empty and boring.

Well it usually was, but not this time. He was accompanied by the kon twins Dawn and Knight. But there two spirits messed up due to the golden cloud and they were mended into one person, Dusk. Hurdy looked at the fellow, he seemed to just sit and stare at the ground. He approached and nudged the guy with his leg. "WHo are you? I didn't see you at that death trap yesterday?" He looked uop at Hurdy, infuriated. He stood and tried to tackle him, but Hurdy swatted him aside. He seemed un-focused and delireous. "There's something wrong with me, I have memories and visions, but two set of them, like the same place but different angles. And my feelings seem split as well. What the hell and I?" Hurdy looked at the ninja head band on him and saw it was from sound, and two sets? He concluded who he was. "You used to be known as Dawn and Knight, two kon twins from Hidden SOund. Thier souls must have fused while you were in the cloud. Now you are born, one from two. What's your name?" He looked at Hurdy, as he obviously didn't know, and then thought. He needed to make one up. He thought and eventually came to "Dusk." Hurdy smiled and took the younger ninja under his wing. Together they would get thier revenge.

As Kanji moves through the afterlife it begins to grow dark and a fog seems to lurk over the entire area around him. as it gets darker and harder to see a hissing sound begins. "S-s-s-s-s-so you des-s-s-s-sire more power." the air directly around Kanji clears as a pale figure moves in. "I will give you uns-s-s-s-stopable power, if you s-s-s-s-s-s-submit to me and pledge yours-s-s-s-s-self unto me as my s-s-s-s-s-servant." Orochimaru stands awaiting an answer.

The pale man stepped closer, "Now proclaim this-s-s-s-s to the world, announs-s-s-s-s-s that you belong to Orochimaru!" he said and then looked to his left and pointed, "once you've finished look over there and i'll give you your gift." he said to see how far his new disciple would go for him.

"wow didn't think you'd fall for that. I guess-s-s-s-s I'll be s-s-s-s-seeing you s-s-s-soon." whit that said Orochimaru made a string of handseals and began his seal implanting technique. his head quickly stretched out and around Kanji's neck. with a strong bite he injected into Kanji his new seal. Kanji would next pass out and eventually wake up right there again, but with the Cursed Seal of Fire and Orochimaru nowhere to be found.
