Welcome to Gaia! ::

::Kazekage quietly stand there, he was sickening her each moment::

"Ihave faith in my very own chuunin, as for your brother, he is not weak. I believe he is very strong. But it is a matter of opinions right? And where from a different village, I cannot be by your side even if i wanted to, its against my village rules."

::Kazekage turned around quickly and tied her blue hair up. She glared at Tate sharply. Her hair, not his! Kazekage got into a fighting stance::

"I may perhaps not live through this, but Kotoro will not be summoned. I can assure you that"

((yea I know....sorry...kinda got into the total bad guy mentality...I'll make him less sickening now))

Tate: hmph...suit yourself...*Tate snapped his fingers and his cronies leaped towards the Kazekage, weapons brandished...Tate was planning join the fight when the Kazekage was weakened...*

before this is over Kazekage, I'll force your hand...((not in marriage...as in making you summon Kotoro....just to clear things up...^^))

*Tate started doing a series of hand seals, taking his time, for it was a long one...*

::meanwhile::

*the two shadowy figures had Motoko tied up in their chain of shurikens, and pulled hard, planning to rip her to shreds*

Shunketsu: xp

*Tate finished his hand seals and blew fire into his hands, when the fire gave way, there was a seal burned into his palms, it looked like a dragon in a cage*

Tate: just try and stop me then Kazekage...

((You guys post a lot, but I am also guilty. Sorry.))

::Motoko started laughing like a maniac. This was not good. Whenever she was cornered she started to go insane and she might end up killing Shunketsu by mistake. That would be bad.::

"Well, don't you people think you are smart. Except you forgot one thing, I can control sand, you can't."

::With that, sand rose up around then and formed a giant wall that tightened with each movement. They would have to find a way to destroy it from the outside, or they would have to horribly distract Motoko. The later of which was not possible while she was going insane, it made her extremely focused. However, she didn't put much chakra into it, so she only had about sixty seconds.::

"Crap! I really need to work on that. Now, back to other buisness. Suna no Shogai!"

::An invisible barrier of sand was built around her and it prevented the shurinkens from doing too much damage, but they still broke the skin. It wasn't a very strong barrier, because she was worried about Shunketsu.::

"Hey Shunketsu! Wake up you moron! You are in big trouble if you don't get up now!"

::No sooner had she said anything then the sand fell from around the two figures.::

"Heh heh heh. Guess it didn't work. So, either of you like origami? I can make paper cranes, butterflies, and shurinkens!"

*The two shadowy figures' shuriken chain suddenly snapped off and a new chain came from each of their claws, acting now like a whip...*

Shadowy Figures(in Unison again): fool...we are the same level as you, do you think you can possibly defeat the two of us?

*They lashed out their whips at Motoko, aiming for her neck*

Shunketsu: *mumbling in sleep...*

::Meanwhile::

*Tate evaded the Kazekage with ease, moving only with his feet, his hands were in his cloak*

you're good Kazekage, but I know this style well..., and although it's beatiful and graceful, it's nothing...*Tate sidestepped her and called forth flame clones...since he is Shunketsu's brother...*

Shadowy Figures: this could be trouble...a dragon...better strengthen our forces...

*they got together, and they each used an unclawed hand together to perform hand seals...water clones emerged from unnoticed puddles on the floor...and each clone, like the originals, were wielding shuriken chains as whips...*

*Shunketsu finally wakes up...*

Shunketsu: oww...my head...*looks around...* WHAT THE!?!?*sees alley full of shadowy clones with claws and shuriken whips, and Motoko and a dragon...*
*Shunketsu got to his feet, into his fighting style, and readied himself...*

::meanwhile::

Tate: *just stood there...his number of flame clones he called forth just about matched the number of sand clones of the Kazekage*
honestly Kazekage...a sand trap? hehehe...I'll just play along then...

gladly...

*Tate let the sand drag him underground...until he was no longer visible above ground...then suddenly, a fire pillar shot up from the hole he was in, and a sound like shattering class could be heard...then, fire pillars burst up all over the place...shooting up from random places, striking about one or two of the sand clones...turning them to glass statues...*

*a faint voice could be heard underground....*

Kazekage, you have much to learn about your element...at high enough temperatures, sand becomes glass...and glass shatters...and now, you've given me an advantage because now, which hole am I under? are you ready to play whack-a-mole?

*obviously toying with her, Tate's head sprung up from one hole, went back down, and then up another hole, then back down again...it was like a kid's video game...*

::meanwhile::

*while Shunketsu was distracted by the sight of the dragon, an enemy clone wrapped his shuriken whip around Shunketsu and pulled, ripping him to shreds...or...he would have, if a puff of smoke didn't suddenly appear and a shredded log lie in the place of what would have been a corpse...*

*Shunketsu the came down from above, landing a heal on the head of the clone, reducing it back to it's watery form...*

^^...basic techniques are just so fun....so.... stare ...who's next?

*the enemy clones all rush at Motoko and Shunketsu*

::Motoko laughed as the sand barrier she had used pushed away the whips. This was going to be fun because they were underestimating her.::

"So, a fool am I? No matter, this little dragon will help me and Shunketsu. Though, he doesn't seem to fond of the idea. Anyway, Shunketsu, try to separate them, I am almost sure that they need to be together to be powerful. They will still be a threat though when they are separate."

::Then she turned to the dragon and started speaking to him in the dragon tougue.::

"Could you please untie me and then help Shunketsu? And yes, Kazekage can be strange but she knows what she is doing. Thank you for your help so far."
