 under the [name] of ---& | ⓜⓐⓘ ⓤ©ⓗⓘⓗⓐ
Sing me to sleep tonight,
Sweet Juliet.
Two star-crossed lovers married,
Looking for regrets..
((w00t~! I got the fourth book in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn~!!!! heart ))
"Weren't you listening? Only the person who cast it can break it. That means the Akatsuki member, if it is them." Akira said shortly.
"Ugh. Ibaraki, you're very heavy." Mai said, furrowing her brows. If she was going to be held captive like this, why not make a joke about it?
By daybreak I'll be gone,
And searching for your kiss
Lend me
A drop of poison...
Waiting on your lips.

((Grr. Bad wording...x.x))
"Right. And if we do find this Akatsuki member, do you really think he's just gonna say 'Oh, sorry about that. Let me release the genjutsu for you'?!"
Emi could feel each of her burns vividly, and the pain was making her short-tempered. More so than usual, anyway. Even worse than that, it was sapping her chakra control, and causing her not to think clearly. She was angry at Akira for being annoying, and she was angry at herself for saying something so stupid.
"Anyway, what are we supposed to do with Mai until we track this Akatsuki member down? She's dangerous, so we can't exactly leave her alone."

Shennen stands up, paths the dust off of his clothes and smiles.
"Well i guess you can handle it from here Sasuke ."
He says whit a grin on his face, as he heads towards the door, he stops at the door and faces everyone.
"Well done everyone."
He says clapping.
"You all played your part fanatically, bravo, go on give your self's a round of applause"
He pauses for a moment.
"Al-doe you where all good, some of you where the same as we had thought but; you, Rikou, you where much more powerful than we had anticipated, we'll be looking into you more. As for the rest of you we know your average power, I would have liked this to go on longer but Sasuke showed up, and ruined our little game. I wanted to see Rikou take the last two pills to know how strong he could get, as for Mai she was an easy target for such a low level genjustu technique, and don't ask I'll be back in a week after i give my report to the 'higher ups', then I'll release her from the genjustu, besides it should be fun having an akatsuki member in your village for a week, ha-ha; Oh and here.
He takes out his wallet, which has several exploding tags in it and trows it into the building.
"Well see ya."
Shennen then disappears in a Puff of smoke. [[and that's one real week, i have to go away , unfortunately crying If the exploding tags ting doesnt work out just ignore it, OK? ]]

((Yup. You did. xD
And oh dear. Exploding tags. Not good.))
Emi stared at Shennen, biting her lip with anger as he said his speech. That little...I know I suspected him, but he was really the Akatsuki agent? Dammit!
She watched him throw his wallet into the building, and saw the exploding tags come tumbling out.
If I let go of the jutsu, Mai can escape. But if I don't do something, I'm going to get blown up!
Ibaraki's still on top of her. I should be able to manage this...
"Everyone get down!" Emi yelled to the people outside. She released the jutsu, and quickly stood up, pulling the iron fan out of her pack once more. Flipping the fan open, she sent a gust of wind at the wallet and the tags, sending them flying into the trees in front of the tower.
((Edit: mangoes!! Yes!! mrgreen ))

"Great, I caught the eyes of the Akatsuki, just grand..."
Rikou's mind did feel intrigued by the prospect of power, but from the Akatsuki was what his heart was against. His new founding craving for power to protect the ones he held dear was something he found to be disturbing, but he couldn't help but to now have it itching at his mind every time he felt helpless. If the Akatsuki had interests in him, maybe he already had power or potential to hold power. The only potential Rikou could see was the Akimichi Clan's ability to hold vast amounts of Chakra stored as body fat, the more powerful of the clan had some of the largest Chakra reserves in the Leaf Village, was Rikou anything special compared to the others of his clan? He didn't know at all, his greatest technique he created himself out of inspiration of such powerful techniques like the Chidori or the Hokage's Rasengan. The problem with it was the technique required the outburst of Chakra, not concentration of it to one spot or into a ball. It was only theorized to work like Rikou planned, he only got to test it once and it didn't end up to well for his health. If he wanted to be able to use it more frequently like Chidori, he would need to try to lower its power down from devastating to dangerous. That was for another time to figure out, right now Rikou was waiting for medical ninja to help him with his wound; the Chidori mark was still under his right shoulder and Rikou wanted to get it fixed quickly to repair his armor.

((Since things are going kinda slow, I suppose I'll post again.))
Emi watched long enough to see the tags explode in the trees, a safe distance away from the people outside, and then turned back to the problem inside. She stuck her fan into a pocket, and wearily performed a few hand signs.
"...kagemane no jutsu." Her shadow stretched out again, and headed to where Mai was still trapped beneath her brother.

Hiro entered the room where Mai was attacked. He looked for a while, but could not find anything besides the burnt puppet. Tired and annoyed, Hiro was just begging for a clue until he saw a white hair in the room. It stood out in the dark floor. He took a quick moment to ponder. Than he had a flashback on the time when Hiro made his predictions on who was the Akatsuki member. The only person in that prediction with white hair was Shennen. It made some sense to him. He faked his injury and a genin passing the second exam cannot be that dumb. He was cocky for a reason. Hiro quickly ran out of the room to tell everyone, but he was too late. Shennen already revealed himself and left with a little "present". Luckily Mai was able to take care of the exploding tags on the wallet. He told them that he will see them again and disappeared right after that. A little annoyed that he could walk so easily from them, but Hiro was able to learn a lot from him. He had showed too much of what he can do. Being a Nara, he was able to analyze how strong and what his weakness were. If that genjutsu technique was a low level to him, than he must be a strong genjutsu user. He must also be a good puppeteer. To use a puppet stealthy like must require a lot of technique and chakra control. But using a puppet to do his dirty job and being an expert in genjutsu must mean he is weak in close ranged battles. Even his fire jutsu technique was made for long range. His taijutsu must be of a novice level...Next time we will be ready for you. He thought to himself.

"Don't mind me at all I guess, this is merely a flesh wound..."
Rikou was tired of waiting for someone to help him with his wound and decided he would try to leave by himself since Hiro apparently left. Rikou was disappointed in Hiro, he knew that Hiro probably knew Rikou was alright, but it was a bit unnerving that his friend didn't even bother. They seemed to be more concern with the problem at hand then Rikou's health, true ninja, but still it picked at them like his kindness in the past had been ignored. He didn't want to think his kindness was only so he could get kindness from others, but the current events were too nerve bending to make him think other wise. Rikou's wound wasn't exactly a scratch and it still gave out pain as he tried to move. Seeing he would have to fend for himself, Rikou was thinking of trying to learn more to fend for himself if he was ignored for so long. Struggling, eventually Rikou raised from where he was seated against the wall and tried his best to walk. He needed to find where they kept a first aid to help his wound, since it seemed everyone else was occupied with Mai. This was very conflicting for Rikou's good nature, he knew that Mai was still a threat, but the half of his mind that made him doubt was attacking the other side. This was causing Rikou to develop a superiority complex, but it was minor for now. This complex was like a name for his doubt, his thoughts raced on about two things; How such a small event effect years of influence on his mind and why no one even bothered to ask if he was alright, not even any words of encouragement from his team to hang on.
"They don't care about me, they take advantage of my kindness...No, they are just dealing with Mia first, then they'll help you...Fool, you're just a tool to them, a distraction for them till real help arrived...That isn't true, they care about you, they are just caught up in the event at hand...Really? They care nothing for Rikou, he isn't anything important to them! He isn't a Uchiha, he isn't related to a Hokage, his strength is ignored by the intelligence of the Nara...Don't listen! You're just as important as any other person...Yeah right, they sat back and watched you get attacked, just a tool to cast aside!"
Rikou kept his left hand on his head, his expression of anger within his mind taking over the face he usually kept calm. He kept on trying to fight the thoughts of betrayal, the thoughts of doubt quickly becoming his main pattern of thoughts. It was becoming more severe with each step on his search for a first aid, but he reframed from out bursts that wanted their way out from his chaotic source of thought.
"Yes, they don't care...No, they do...Stop it...No more..."
Rikou stopped the thoughts as soon as they started, but they were not gone forever. This event set seeds to create greater thoughts of doubt for Rikou. Emotional barriers were far greater than physical barriers for a ninja or at least what Rikou was beginning to doubt what he was. He stilled needed to find the first aid, which such a simple task threatened to create those same thoughts of doubt again.

under the [name] of ---& | ⓜⓐⓘ ⓤ©ⓗⓘⓗⓐ
And this is who I am when,
When I don't know myself anymore.
And this is what I choose,
When it's all left up to me.
Mai growled lowly. She had been planning on escaping then, but now Emi had her trapped.
Like I can get anywhere with my father here... he had me pinned down in less than 10 seconds! Mai thought tiredly, eyeing her father out of the corner of her eye.
Or tried to, to say the least. Her whole body was pinned down, and her chin was stuck to the hard ground, so she could only see her father's feet. This really sucked.
Sighing, the girl closed her eyes. They had her beat, for now.
Besides, she hadn't any chakra left. It was all used from the last jutsu she used. She sighed. Her eyelids were getting heavy.
"And I thought Jubei would be the one to stop me." She said, before falling into a faint. Her body went motionless, except for steady breathing.
And who is this guy, claiming he's from my organization? And who does he think he is? I am so a rightful member of the Akatsuki. I wouldn;t even know have the jutsu's I know, if I wasn't. He's a load of bullshit. Mai's mind ran freely while she was stuck in her faint. However, it still changed directions.
But what if he's right? Then... if I'm not a member, why do hate these people so much? Why do I have these memories, and such, showing me my time at the Akatsuki? Well... I guess I'll find out in a week. In the meantime, I'll destroy the Leaf Village!
Breathe your life into me.
I can feel you....
I'm falling, falling...
Breath your life into me.

Jubei suddenly regained his senses as Mai's words escaped her lips. He tried to remember the events, but everything was a blur. He slowly walked towards the spot where he had heard Mai's voice. He looked down upon her tiredly, noticing that she was now unconcious. Strangely, he was mentally exhausted.
Was I under the effects of a genjutsu? I've never felt like this before.
Jubei looked over towards Sasuke.
"Mr. Uchiha, what happened here?"
He raised his right hand and placed it upon his forehead, rubbing the temples in an attempt to uncloud his mind.

Sasuke turned his gaze to the Uzumake son, also known as 'The Sun of Konoha'. Naruto's child.
Mai's best friend.
Sighing, the Uchiha started to answer his question.
But Akira beat him to it.
"Ah, Jubei. Sorry you were too dazed to watch Mai's preformance." He butted in, with a smirk. He didn't like this guy.
"Anyways, Mai was attacked by a puppet in the other room, which led her to be cast under a Genjutsu. I was able to tell what it was, when I touched her cheek. She apparently thought that she was the undercover member of the Akatsuki, and started attacking all your friends," Akira gestured to the injured, "She fought with Rikou until Sasuke and I came, and then Sasuke pinned her down. From then on, we explained to the other's what happened."
Akira paused to look in the Uzumaki's eyes. Hatred filled his own.
Why did this guy have so much time with Mai, when he didn't even make a move on the beauty she had?
He shook his head, before continuing his explaination.
"Then, the real Akatsuki member showed himself. He explained that in one week, no sooner, he will be back in a week to release the jutsu. Until then..." He paused once more, to trail his eyes over to Mai, " She must be kept under watch. She's deadly, and knows it."

"There they go again, casting you off to the side, everything else matters except you Rikou...That isn't true, they...They...I've won Rikou, listen to me, the other fool has nothing left to combat this truth...Yes I do, Rikou is strong, he can look after himself and that is why they don't...They just leave him to fend for himself? No Medical aid? Not even a pain killer? If I recall, Emi even gave that complete stranger a pain killer and yet her friend is in pain? His so called friends are not who they appear to be."
Rikou's expression of anger started to twist from confused rage to confused realization of what his doubtful mind was the truth. The half of Rikou's mind that was his kindness and caring nature was being loss to the other side of himself that fed on his doubt and fear. Rikou didn't know how much more neglect it would take for it to advance further, but it seemed both of his teammates had abandon him. Hiro went off to think and Emi was disposing of simple tags, he wasn't important enough it seemed. Since Rikou was often concentrated on his thoughts, all these small events stacked upon each other to create a larger event that made Rikou doubt anyone even cared for his well being and he started to dig himself so deep into that hole, it was causing confusion in Rikou’s mind. Everything seemed to matter more than he did and everyone else who just sat by while he fought Mia was getting all the credit.
"Yes, you see the truth now Rikou! They don't care for you, only you should care for yourself. Strength to help yourself is the path everyone should take and your life calls for this path. Show everyone you are important, even if you have to kill them in the process. The old Rikou was a fool that let people walk all over him, nothing but a tool to everyone he was a friend to! Hiro doesn't care, Emi doesn't care...Don't you see it yet...No one does!!!"
Rikou's pupils grew small at that exact moment his doubtful thoughts pushed the old thoughts away. It was Rikou's nature that ironically led to his downfall from the path of kindness to the path of cruelty. Some say it is impossible to change someone's personality with such a small event, but that would be only for the observers of Rikou's insanity. In his mind, the minor things that developed grew into major events that changed his way of thinking; not forever yet, but maybe for a time.
"I don't need them, I don't need anyone except myself...its all clear now."
Rikou couldn't find a first aid and no one was going to help him do that either. He realized he was truly alone now and everyone else was just an annoyance for him to ignore or push away. He sat back again after walking steadily from room to room looking for anything he could use to heal himself; he decided time would be best to heal his wound. Rikou even hoped it left a scar, a sign of his new found view of life and how he would play a part of it.
