"Ooh." Elruda huffed, her cheeks momentarily puffing cutely. She crossed her arms and looked aside, as if insulted. "Elda isn't blind..." But she cheered up just as quickly. "I'm Hyuuga Elruda, nice to meet you! Oh...my eyes are like this because of my kekkai genkai." She looked thoughtful for a moment. "Er, a dodojutsu limit..." Dodojutsu? That didn't sound quite right.
Eh? She stopped... Zephyr didn't think that hyperactive child would... But as he drew in closer, the Senju king knew why: she was talking to another, a child around her own age. Judging from his chakra levels, an Academy Student... However...from his curse of heightened senses...the sixth sense wasn't getting a very good vibe from this other child. As if there would be...something staining... Bloodstained. Another face flickered into mind. Pale, pearl-like skin like Elruda...but hair whiter than freshly fallen snow...and cold blue-gray orbs, eyes like steel... That child. There was a certain aura here very much like that child's... Lighter, true, yet the same time just as dark.
The Senju king appeared not a day older than eighteen. Long flowing dark hair, the occasional breeze combing through dark raven locks. He was tall too, a towering 6'4''. Judging from his choice of dress and the fact that there was no hia'ate (forehead protector) in sight declaring his village allegiance...he must be a Sannin at the least.
Contrasting as outgoing as Elruda was, Zephyr was unreadable. A neutral gaze: blue-green eyes with specks of gold, the eerie light of the borealis casting a living fire in those orbs.
One gauntleted arm encircled Elruda.
"It's doujutsu, chiisai-hime (little princess)." He gently corrected.
"Same difference!" Declared the child, she snuck back out from under Zephyr's arm and to Tai, she jabbed a thumb backwards at Zephyr. "Hmph. Mister Hokage-sama thinks he knows it-..." "Chiisai-hime!"
Zephyr groaned. Don't go declaring to the world... Besides, his official inauguration has yet to place, when he returns to Konoha. "I am Senju Zephyr...my apologies for any inconveniences - ow!" Elruda had stepped on his toe, insulted of being called an 'inconvenience'. "...yeah...gomen if chiisai-hime had bothered..." Elruda was jumping on his foot now, obviously convinced she was innocent and wasn't bothering anyone.
"I got it! Please stop..." Zephyr tried lifting the child, so she would stop trying to kill his foot, but Elruda ducked. The child was holding onto Tai's hand now. And she declared: "Festivals are a happy time! So Tai-kun should come!"

The girl acted just like a child. She wasn't too mentally mature it seemed. He looked upward at Zephyr with eyes scanning for the headband to find his elegeance.
"....Mister Hokage-sama..." He heard coming from Elruda. He blinked and just stared toward the empty space behind the male.
Shortly he came back to his senses as they began to argue. His smiled warmed and was shortly interupted with laughter.
Thump-Thump-Thump-Thump-Thump
He felt Elrudas' hand grasped at his own. The only thing he could hear was the rythm of his body increasing in tempo. His face now plagued with a red stain across his cheeks..
Wha....W-What is the Hokage?.. And what is D-Dodojutsu and Hyu-Hyuuga....?..

"A Kage rules a whole village!" Next to her, Zephyr sighed. There was no stopping the child now that she's at it. "Jii-chan is Konoha's Hokage. The other Kages are Kiri's Mizukage, Suna's Kazekage, Kumo's Raikage, Amekage, Takikage, and Iwakage-..." "Tsuchikage, chiisai-hime...Tsuchikage..." Zephyr corrected half-heartedly. "Pffft. Amekage and Takikage are named after their villages... Besides, that evil, bad man..." Elruda frowned upon thinking of Marcus. "Evil bad man! Burn!" (expression: >=O).
But the brief fit of temper disappeared, answering Tai's other questions. "Douuu...Doujutsu. Hyuuga clan has Byakugan kekkai genkai. It's douuu...jutsu cuz it's eye techniques. Like Uchiwa. And er...other villages have them too. Hyuuga, Uchiwa, and um...one other family makes up the three major ones. I think the Awrum here too have dou...jutsu and...ah...Fubukee in Kiri...Shin-kun says so anyways but Elda never seen him use it..."
This child knew Shin?

He turned toward Elruda listening intently to her detailed explanation of all the leaders of the villages. His mind began to explore the thought of an "Evil bad man". Taishiroku slowly broke the grip from her hand and moved his hand into his pockets to prevent further contact. His blush was still painted across his pale flesh.
He looked upward toward Zephyr and suddently realized the power he contained.. He instantly thought of Shin and his goal.. He looked downward toward the female who was younger than him. His eyes widened as a million questions began running through his mind. Then he heard Shin's name..
"you know Shinratsu Fubuki!! He is my best friend!!"
His eyes darted between Elruda and Zephyr quickly before more questions started to pour from his mind and into the air.
"How do you know him? Are you powerful Hokage-Kun? Are you and Elruda Apprentice and Master? How powerful are you exactly Hokage-Kun? And... Do you think you could possibly train Fubuki Shinratsu and Myself?! I might be an academy student but I NEED to become strong..And Shin-chan is really needing to become strong as well!"
By this point his voice was becoming hoarse for he had never spoke this much in his life and his vocal chords becoming hoarse. His breathing was heavy and distraught. His chest now rising frantically from his body trying to keep pase with him.
His dark black eyes focused upon Zephyrs' with an incredible focus. His mind was focused upon him and only him. In his mind it seemed everything faded to black. The only image in his mind was Zephyrs' yuoung figure and the glow of the borealis upon him.

Yokou flushed. Goddess? Her? She didn't think so...
However, when Marcus began speaking again...his quiet voice captivated her attention. Scar...? Slight lowering of the eyes, a glance to the left...memory of a painful experience... So it couldn't just be physical...more of an emotional scar... Truly, for somehow as carefree as Marcus, it must’ve been a truly horrific experience to scar him so deeply... Just like it was for Zephyr-sensei, the moments the Senju would seem so distant, unreachable and far away...
When Marcus kissed her this time, she was mildly startled, deep in contemplation (reading the subtle hints). But...surprising herself...she accepted it... Marcus seemed nervous about her reaction though, so escaped to play with the children.
For a long moment, she watched him, and then she slowly held up her hands. "..." Why hadn't she noticed it before? That when she left the hospital, the Hyouton wounds lashed from trying to heal Shinratsu...they were nearly gone. The only reminder was the faintest scar left on the back of her right hand, unnoticeable unless seen from the right angle. But it no longer hurt nor stung.

"Yep I do! Shin-kun, I met him during the last festival, on a trip to Iwa with sensei and Sa-chan." Elruda seemed horrified, suddenly remembering the older kunoichi. "Oh no! I abandoned Sa-chan..." She seemed to grow depressed quickly (expression: ;_; ) and prodded her two index fingers together (like Hinata). "Will Sa-chan be mad...but Elda wanted to see the festival..." Demure mumblings.
But then she cheered up again. "But Shin-kun was really nice! Mummy was teaching him, I think." Elruda puffed again. "He's lucky. Mummy rarely even has time for Elda..." Her expression saddened a bit and Elruda looked down, kicking at a pebble on the ground. "...because she's head of family..."
Zephyr would've liked to comfort the child, but there was problems he have to take care of now... She had said a little too much. And this child...by his way of address, probably not from a noble family. "Zephyr. Just Zephyr is fine." The Senju shuddered slightly. "I am not used to being addressed anything else. Fifty-nine Hokages came before me. That title...makes me sound like I'm ancient." A pause.
"Well...I met Fubuki Shinratsu just once, when I first came to this village..." He did briefly teach the boy during that period. "Actually, I just promised Elda here to take her out to the festival... She is after all the precious chiisai-hime of my student..." His voice trailed off.
A frown was fighting its way to his face but by pure will of spirit, he kept any emotion at bay. "We'll see." Was his response to the pressing for training. "First, worry about passing the Academy."
A tug on Tai's hand. "Mummy is a Sannin of Konoha! And jii-chan is Konoha's strongest. So he can make Tai-kun strong!"
Zephyr wasn't so sure of that. What had he gotten himself into? Rarely does he make a lucky venture on gambling... His sixth sense screamed for him to...avoid both children, that Shinratsu and this Taishiroku as soon as possible...
He did not need to raise another Uchiha Museifu, let alone another TWO. One mistake was enough for a lifetime...

The hour seemed to become late far faster than any had expected. Before long, Marcus and the summons were going from plaything duty to bed tucking duty. A welcome change for Pegasus. Upon completion, they would each vanish into a poof of smoke. Marcus helped the workers of the orphanage go from child to child, checking them to make sure they were tucked in comfortably. He smiled a little as he sat back upon one of the empty beds… glancing over to Yokou, he eyed her figure… he was a guy, couldn’t help it, but then her hair.
He walked up behind her and began to gather her hair. Surprisingly enough, he was actually braiding it. He hated the formality that came from having ones hair up. He liked long hair to be down, hence his. A grin crossed his lips, “You’d be surprised how many skills you have to pick up when you work for a low budget film made in the basement of someone’s parent’s house.”
He was actually quite skilled with doing her hair, barely a tug was made even as Yokou moved about. “Hair dressing, costume, prop gathering, hell, I’ve had to use more than a few jutsu for special effects and even makeup in one movie… don’t ask.” He laughed softly.
He then looked to her and slowed his pace for a second, “I… it ain’t my place but I really don’t care but… I think these are the types of memories you and midget should start to form. I know your head of your family and I know that comes with certain responsibilities… but I think that, as a family, there should be others that help you… take the burden off you. Even if they aren’t related by blood, there should be those you call family to do the same. That’s what a true family is to me… also why I don’t consider my blood relatives my family. Once, I remember when I got sick as a dog from eating the wrong food, 3 of the actresses I’d just screwed over by getting sick nursed me back to health. The director went out and bought me like 50 types of medicians, whatever the girls said to buy. At one point, one of them wrote down weird stuff like light bulbs and deniem cloth and he spent all night looking for it. At first, I thought they were just doing it so I could get better and make the movie but then… I found out that the director had been called by like 20 guys who could have filled in for me but he actually killed the project… girls agreed too. All the crew did… They… they were a family to me… a family that either watched me have sex or I had sex with… ya know maybe this isn’t the best story to pass on!”
He burst into laughter and had to cover his mouth to keep from waking the children. He then looked to her and smiled, “So… wanna go grab a bite to eat?”

Taishiroku eyes scanned the expressions upon Zephyrs face. He could feel Elruda moving around him and talking. All of her words registering to his mind but he wasn't directly paying attention. As he heard heard the words Tai-Kun he was tugged and felt his body jerk forward. His mind coming back into place.
"Please Elly. Call me Tai. I hate honorofics... you 2 are the..."
His mind began to count the faces in his life. Taishigo, His father. Mayuri, his mother. Taishishi His grandfather. Shinratsu Fubuki, His Childhood friend and Rival. Giglamesh the Assistant teacher and god-awful mimic of Shins Family. Along with his dreadful wife.. Trying to take Shinratsu away.. Altogether..He only knew 6 people.
"7th and 8th people I have met in my whole life."
He smiled half-heartedly before remembering the slight frown upon Zephyrs' face. He instantly reverted back to the teachings of the Mizukai clan before reciting the clans main scripture to him.
"The tiniest ripple in the Atlantic may reach the Pacific if it only follows the right currents. Every ripple leaves its mark and never leaves the flow of the sea. A Ripple may become a Tidal wave that will drown the fish but soon the tidal wave may become a lake that many fish will live. The rains will fall and flood the lake which will soon create a river that flows to the sea. The sea is where all things much rise and all things much diminish. Boats may float but they easily capsize and rocks may hold but they easily erode. The oceans flow is the current of all life and all life must flow like so."
Now Taishiroku was on the verge of losing his voice. He turned toward Elruda who he had now claimed as Elly before looking upward toward Zephyr.
"I don't want to become a cannibal...."

(I guess Shin has a new rival)
18/18 to pass (passed) 42/60 total training. (18 more posts)
Cronos
Hp 6
DC 40
34+7=41 (pass )
As Cronos destroyed the crystal the flesh aroud melted and spilled out on to the roof with Cronos in it. Cronos forced himself to stand even though he was so tired that if he clossed his eyes he probley be asleep in a moment. "I must finsh my training so I can get stronger so I can prove my self to everyone that I am strong"Cronos said softly. Cronos riped off what every was left of his shirt to get some of the slime of him. Cronos looked back at the monster which was getting ready to attack with its giant arms. Cronos moved out of the way before they came crashing down on the roof causing that section to come crashing down to the first floor. Cronos noticed that he preaty much did not have any where else to move since half of the roof was destroyed so Cronos ran up the monster leg to get on to its back. "I need to stop those attacks since they are getting on my nerves "Cronos looked around for a moment so he could find the crystal that seemed to controll the monsters arms. "s**t I have no idea which one is which well I guess I well just start destroy each one of these crystals untill stop attacking". Cronos started by attacking one of the crystal that was close to him with his fist.

Noble women were very proud of their long, beautiful hair...and especially the proud Hyuuga clan, so to those who knew her, it was surprising that Yokou sat so stilly and allowed Marcus to braid her hair. However...for Marcus to see that filming Crew as his family... Yokou had the sinking feeling in her stomach that they probably were very well using him, partly for looks, probably perhaps even for his famed family name...
"But a good family shouldn't be a manipulative family. It is the supposed right of children...the right to a good family..." Yokou said, her voice quiet. "Were you...really all right with that...?" She turned around, the gentlest brush of her fingertips against his forehead. That might've surprised him a little, but there was no chakra. Not Juuken.
But she smiled again, dropping the topic. "Alright."

"Eh? Cannibal? What's that?" Elruda looked curious, pale eyes widening as she leaned in closer. "Well, I think the only kind of person Tai will become, is a kind one." Quick as a dart, Elruda leaned up, on tiptoes as Taishiroku was much taller, giving the older boy a kiss on the forehead. She pulled away, smiling: "Mummy and Nyame-nee used to say, a kiss on the forehead brings good luck. Elda doesn't get the feeling Tai has a person to kiss him on the forehead and give him good luck. So Elda will give him good luck."
Zephyr watched. Different. He thought. She's like yet different from Yokou. And the choice of divination Elruda uses...and applying it to her treatment of others... Or rather, it was more like...the child didn't believe in divination. She chose to go against 'the natural flow'. So while Yokou was a carefully cultivated flower, Elruda was like a wildflower...blooming on its own strength, growing more beautiful particularly from not being cradled and cared specifically for...but a wild kind of beauty, a wild kind of strength... A lot like her father's strength of spirit and firey nature, only a thousandfold more beautiful.
Heh. Sensei, you fool for getting killed... Zephyr thought, but not unfondly. If you could only see what kind of woman your daughter is growing into. Perhaps...maybe, perhaps this child...she might be able to do...what her mother couldn't. This child...shall be the Star Rose of Konoha, the sun alighting the leaves with fire. A suiting name.
To the children: "Come along, then. Chiisai-hime and Tai-kun." There was a festival to enjoy, all other matters can come later.

Giglamesh would look to shin, mai and keiko. He would look up the the aurora , it was beautiful...but not really his type of thing. "What are we doing sanding around staring at some lights...when we could be out having some fun and enjoying ourselves!" Giglamesh would then pervasively move behind the two and begin to push them so they would slide, as even together they could not over power giglamesh, he would continue to push them till he found something fun for them to do together. That tai boy still bothered him greatly, that fake smile he wore to cover the pain of his past and him calling himself shin's best friend. While shin tried to strangle him, and has never mentioned of this boy previously, Hen didn't know why, but this boy bothered him.
((i would post with the hunter group also....but you guys arnt paying attention to them.))

Taishiroku stopped and stared toward the female and watched her moving toward him. What the hell is sh-- His thoughts stopped instantly as he felt the warm compress of her tender lips against his watery forehead.
There he stood for the longest time as he basked within the warmth he was feeling spread across his face. With reddened cheeks he looked downward toward her reaching backwards with his left hand scratching his left earlobe softly.
"What was that?.."
He said confused. He had never heard of a kiss. He blniked and felt his mind become sober and calm. The smile on his face widening in embarrasement.
He never grew up around alot of people and was incredibly isolated. He was mostly alone and only stayed around his mom where he read about architecture. When he was with his father he just watched him study techniques.
Come along, then. Chiisai-hime and Tai-kun Zephyr is using honorifics? Taishiroku just felt a bit aggrevated by it and attempted to speak feeling his voice yelp when he did so.
"just cal me Tai! No hono--"
His voice gaveway and he could no longer speak.

"Tai-kun!" Alarm passed over Elruda’s face. "Are you alright?" Turning to Zephyr, she called for him to come closer. "Jii-chan! Jii-chan, should we take him to the hospital?" Zephyr obliged, bending down to get a better look. There appeared to be no noticeable physical injury at the neck area, at least not by a cursory glance.
"Don't worry, chiisai-hime." The Senju king reassured, after a scrutinizing moment. To Taishiroku: "The hospital most likely won't be admitting this late at night. However...do you have any symptons? Of perhaps any kekkai genkai related illnesses? If it's physical injuries, that can be easily taken care of. However, if otherwise, we'll have to take you there regardless."

Keiko turned to Gig and pointed to him, without speaking she mouthed the words "You're the dork." She smiled at Shin and then fixed her coat. She watched as Hitomi past, she smiled and nodded, she would talk to Sato after the holiday. "Ah, yes, let's enjoy the holiday festivals, the aurora will be there tomorrow night." She picked up the bag and then walked with Gig and the rest.
Keiko took Giglamesh's hand and enjoyed. Suddenly, pain struck her she felt like trowing up and her stomach twisted into knots. She squeezed his hand as she ever so slightly moved forward, a soft "ow" followed as well. Her eyes sparkled in the light of the aurora, she looked up to Giglamesh, "I'm fine." She said quietly and swiftly.
Keiko's attention was focus on Shin and his friend. It was good that Shin had a friend, that could partly understand what he was going threw. Months of trying to get the boy to open up, she got him to at least talk to her...but nothing much about his past.
