Naomi allowed Hedoro to grab hold of her and continued to strike Hedoro injuring her hand in the process. "Are you nuts?!? You risked my hand to end this fight that you actually started?!?""Shut up Naomi... just shut up." replied Naomi trying to pry Hedoro's hand from her arm but with no prevail. The kunai had severely injured Naomi's hand and she couldn't clutch her hand enough to pull Hedoro off. As blood gooshed from her hand Naomi lifted Hedoro onto her shoulder and took her back to the cabin she was currently staying in. "Naomi what did you do?" "Out of the way Tontrue. I'm busy." replied Naomi entering the cabin and laying Hedoro down on a mat on the floor. "Your hands bleeding. What happened?" "Forget about it. Just get me something to stop the bleeding." replied Naomi as Tontrue did just that. Naomi looked at Hedoro who seemed to hardly be fazed by the horrors she was made to endure. "Hmm."

Hedoro
The Genjutsu began to fade, removing the horrific visions from Hedoro's sight. Whereas they might have shaken a more balanced ninja, she was merely that much more intent on not being taken back. That was the predominant theme of her vision, of being a prisoner to those same cruel people all over again. As she came to, she made no move, tried to give no sign that she'd awakened. Instead, she tried to determine just where she was, what had happened while she'd been out of it. She could tell Bonnita was nearby, her hand was still locked on tight. They seemed to be in an enclosed area, perhaps a cabin or something? Had she been captured?

"So you're awake. I noticed your breathing patterns change a bit. This is my current hideout." said Naomi to Hedoro as Tontrue looked over at the two. "She's awake? She's not moving... she looks the same as she did when you brought her." "I believe I know what I'm talking about Tontrue." bluffed Naomi. She wasn't actually sure if Hedoro had awakened or that she had just changed her breathing patterns after seeing a certain experience. "I've decided not to turn you in because turning you in would mean turning myself in as well. I'm a missing-nin and would be captured if I took you to those rich types. But you may not leave. I need a favor to ask of you. An honorable shinobi like yourself, I assume, would fulfill my favor since they lost. What say you?" continued Naomi moving her arm around a bit trying to insinuate to Hedoro to release her grip. She knew she might not but it seem worth a try.

Hedoro
Hedoro heard Bonnita's voice. Had she really figured out she was awake? that seemed really unlikely. Since she didn't really breathe at all, it was virtually impossible to notice a breathing pattern at all, let alone differences in it. No, she must be guessing, and just happened to guess right. It seemed she wasn't necessarily goign to take her back, then why had she fought with her? Curious. She decided to find out some more about the situation before taking any further action. But first, to maintain the illusion of her normalcy, she sat bolt upright with a shout, and instantly bent over, sending feigned convulsive spasms through her body. It wasn't all that unlikely that someone who'd just been exposed to the Hell Viewing Technique would vomit, after all. But what she threw up wasn't half-digested food, it was more of that same blue substance, a large puddle of it. Finally finished, she faked a cough and wiped where her mouth would have been, before turning to face Bonnita. So her opponent thought she was honorable, did they? Perhaps she could use that. She waited a moment before replying, and then said that even though she wouldn't have said their fight was over, a loss was a loss. She would help, if it was within her abilities. A bald-faced lie, and she didn't remove Bonnita's wrist from her grip, either.

Naomi sighed lowly so as not to be heard and looked over at Tontrue. “Leave.” She stated bluntly as Tontrue did as Naomi requested. Once he left Naomi looked back at Hedoro as Kazuki, Naomi’s pet pup, lay whimpering in the corner. “Since you and I are both outlaws and at high risk of capture I suggest a team up. My main reason for wanting a team up is because I am interested in learning a few moves from you. And I am certain you wouldn’t mind learning a few of mines from me. Think of us teaming up as a partnership. I’m a very trust worthy person so no worries. I won’t turn you in if you don’t turn me in… Tamao.” Laughing on the inside but serious on the out. Naomi had no intention of turning Hedoro in but wasn’t just planning on partnering up with Hedoro for skills. She wanted to see how powerful Hedoro really was and she also wanted to know more about her. Naomi figured Hedoro wouldn’t know why she paused before stating her name. Her reason behind her doing so was because she couldn’t shake the thought that Tamao was Hedoro but had no real proof that her name was fake. As Naomi awaited a response she pondered on why Hedoro threw up a bluish substance rather than normal vomit. She began to figure that her loss off blood and fatigue were to blame for her seeing the vomit as blue since other objects she looked at didn’t seem their actual color.

Hedoro
A partnership? It wasn't all that bad of an idea, she could learn the strengths and weaknesses of her alleged partner if she did that. But could she trust Bonnita? She said she was trustworthy, but a liar could say that just as easily as a saint. After all, she'd attacked without provocation earlier, who could say if she would or wouldn't do that again? Her inground feelings of paranoia flared up, she couldn't trust someone who'd been an enemy. Once an enemy, always an enemy. This was precisely the sort of trick they'd use to try to get her to lower her guard before capturing her, after all.
(1 of 10)
Getting to her feet, Hedoro released Bonnita's wrist from her grasp, and glanced around the room. It was small, an enclosed space. The perfect place to set up an ambush, there could be any number of traps or hidden ninja waiting for the signal to attack. She made her decision. She shook her head, and stated that she didn't trust Bonnita in the slightest, she had no intentions of teaming up with her. She had no intention of debating the matter, either. Turning, she made to leave. At the same time, the puddle of liquid began moving. Slowly, very slowly, it would be hard to notice it's movement unless one was looking directly at it.

"Are you sure you're willing to walk out of that door and not have a second thought about my suggestion? If you can't trust me as to travel with me then how are you able to trust that I won't come after you? How can you trust that I won't kill you next time since you did not accept my generous offer. You can trust all those things in referrence to me but you can't trust a harmless partnership? You may be thinking that next time you won't hold back and will attempt to kill me as well but I know deep down you are fearful of me. You are fearful of me because I offer death to you and am capable of fulfilling that offer. You are fearful that I just might be the one to end your running and take you down." replied Naomi standing up and facing Hedoro. "I won't allow you to leave. If you run I'll catch you and cut off your legs and hand them to you. Then I'll hall you back to those rich people incognito and smile all the while." smirked Naomi as Kazuki began to whimper and whine.

Hedoro
So there it was, an ultimatum. Hedoro had expected as much, she hadn't thought she would have just been able to leave. She didn't turn to face Bonnita, but she did stop moving towards the door. She replied that threats meant little, but if she really wanted her to stay, then Bonnita would have to convince her, through the only method that proved anything, power. She still didn't face Bonnita, showing her back even as she challenged her to a battle. It looked like she wouldn't be able to get away that easily, they'd have to fight to the end anyways. Very well, she'd give Bonnita a chance to prove her worth as a partner.
(3 of 10)
Her threats meant little, it seemed obvious those who had sent her hadn't bothered telling Bonnita just what she was up against. That would be very dangerous for Bonnita, and very lucky for her. Her arms hung loose at her sides, she stood at a slightly casual stance, she'd let Bonnita make the first move. Even as she stood there, open to an attack, she wasn't actually being idle. The liquid had increased it's movement ever so slightly, moving in the opposite direction of Hedoro, moving towards the back of the room. In fact, it was moving closer to Kazuki. Bonnita apparantly hadn't made allowances for her pet being taken hostage now, had she?

Kazuki began to whimper but Naomi wasn't paying much attention to him. She was mainly focused on Hedoro. "Now? I suppose I can battle with you. My right hand is hurt but I can still make hand signs. Not without pain though. Let us go then-" replied Naomi as Kazuki began to bark and jump on his hind legs. "What mutt?!?... Huh? I could have sworn that goop was a little closer than that. I guess it's nothing much to worry about though but... what the hell is that stuff anyway?" continued Naomi, still not noticing the goop was headed for Kazuki. As Naomi awaited Hedoro to respond Kazuki continued to make noise. "Darn dog. Sit! Roll over! Play dead!" exclaimed Naomi but Kazuki ignored her. Naomi quickly grew angry and headed over to Kazuki preparing to give him a piece of her mind.

Hedoro
Hedoro heard the dog began to make noise as it grew nervous as the puddle of liquid approached. Animals' senses were sharper than humans', it knew that the puddle wasn't good news. But Bonnita didn't seem to pick up on that fact, instead she seemed irritated with Kazuki's interruptions. Hedoro didn't make any movements herself, but that was not to say that she wasn't going to do anything. As Bonnita neared the puddle, she readied her attack. She waited until Bonnita was within five feet of the puddle, and then willed it to action. A small distortion in the surface rose, and then opened, making something that looked like a mouth. It shot out a blast of liquid, hydrochloric acid in fact, aimed at Bonnita's closer leg.

"Couldn't wait could you?" asked Naomi as a rock clone burst from the ground and took the shot. Quickly after doing so Naomi made it combine with the earth, meaning that clone was no longer in use. Only four were left and were awaiting orders. Kazuki quickly ran passed the goop and then headed for the door when Naomi grabbed him with her left hand. "Dogs are a galls best friend. You stay right here." said Naomi turning to face Hedoro as she placed Kazuki onto her right shoulder. Her face seemed angered but was actually pleased. She now figured Hedoro was really going to let her have it. "Why don't we just go on outside and get started. No need for a fight in here. Hardly any room to horse around you know." "She's not human so be careful. I've been studying her a bit and I think I know what she is." "What?" "I'll tell you later. Keep your eye on her and that puddle. You need to start making more diversions too." "Got it."

Hedoro
Hedoro saw that a rock clone had intercepted the shot. That was fine, it would have been disappointing for that too have been too easy anyways. Of course, perhaps she had tipped her hand a little prematurely, now Bonnita's guard would be up. She wouldn't be able to use that trick again. She shook her head when Bonnita suggested they take the fight outside, however. Close quarters combat was her strong suit, overall. She used another one of her false techniques, saying it's name as she did. Nisemono Kidoumaru! Roku-Joushi Style! (Six Arm style) As she said it, four more arms burst from her sides, clad in rags and tatters like her regular arms. The four new arms all held kunai like daggers, while the upper arms stayed empty-handed. She decided to wait a moment before attacking, to see Bonnita's reaction, first.

"Hm, close combat. This doesn't seem like the best predicaent for you. My techs are best in the open. Although I guess you could try and use some of my techs that I figure could work. After distracting her then take the fight outside. You'll have more room to move around and the clones won't be confined. This time I think it's best we try and kill her-" "The hell we're not! I need her so poo on that idea. I will have to strike a serious blow to her though. So she can't escape my reach. She will become a loyal apprentice to me... I just need to win." replied Beasty Naomi also performing a set of hand signs. "Armstrong Beautiful Earth Blast!" exclaimed Naomi punching her fist into the ground. After a moment the ground began to shoot up and through the ceiling towards Hedoro. Naomi wished to laugh could not because she figured Hedoro would have yet another trip up her sleeve. Two of Naomi's clone quickly fused with her body as Naomi picked up Kazuki and leaped through the rooof and waited for Hedoro to come as well.

Hedoro
Hedoro was about to dash forward and strike with her multitude of kunai, when Bonnita punched the ground. Hedoro didn't know what she was up to, although since she had merged with her clones, Hedoro suspected it would possibly open a rift or crack in the ground, perhaps? But she was wrong, it was something quite different. As soon as she saw the spike rushing towards her, she tried to leap out of the way, but she was already slightly off-balance from having already started moving towards it. The spike hit her dead-on, goring right through her torso and out the other side. She vocalized a nonsense sound and slumped forward, her body leaning forward on top of the spike.

"Eep!" "Ah! I killed her!" "L-lets not jump to conclusions. I'm certain she wouldn't die oh so easily. Keep your distance and send a clone to check her out." replied Naomi to Beasty Naomi as one of Naomi's rock clones emerged from the ground and motioned over to Hedoro. As they did Naomi made her two rock clones, that were her armor, disperse from her body and they later sunk into the ground. Naomi then performed a set of hand signs as she watched her clone. "How can we figure out if she's alive or not? We don't even know if she's human. She knows a number of clan techs and yet she belongs to none of them. And when you stabbed her she didn't die nor fall unconscious." "I dunno but I'm getting kinda weirded out. All I know is that she'd bettered not be dead. Elemental Clone Jutsu: Ability Stealing! Strength of the rock clone." replied Beasty Naomi but nothing happened. Naomi's performed jutsu is one of her newest Made Up jutsu. This jutsu allows her to steal the trait of one type of her elemental clones.
