Kikyo sat back and glared to the side as she pulled out another of her cloth masks to cover her face. "You aren't the first to tell me that I should stop thinking that the world is trying to kil me Than..." She coughed a little and tried to steady her breathing, glad she didn't cough up any blood this time. "My whole life I've had to be the outcast in this village only because of who my parents were... and as I grew up and my mom and twin died, everyone assumed I'd be nothing but a hateful killer, so that's slowly what I've become, dreading to have to face the people of my own home and wanting to become stronge to gain their respect." She balled her fist tightly and sighed. "I should just give up on trying to impress the people here...." She looked over to him through the corner of her gold colored eyes. "What I'm about to say to you never gets repeated, and you never saw what my face looks like. I'm... I'm sorry for misjudging you. You seem decent enough... Please forgive me." She shivered a little, not used to saying that she was sorry about anything. ((+204)

I do not need apologies... Now tell me this, what was that technique that you used against me? It seemed to be a hand, or something along those line.. Though I could not see it, I felt it.." He says, as he frowns again, feeling something, was something he was not used to. So this technique that she was mentioning, was something that he sort of needed to either learn, or learn to destroy, though this would not be revealed to her. It simply appeared as if he was curious towards her abilities. Which in a sense, should even raise her spirits to the point of getting out of the miserable gloom she was setting herself into. From first glance, it was clear. She needed to be out of this village, even if it was not completely worthless to some people, it was worthless to him at the moment. [149]

Kikyo thought for a moment, not really wanting to answer his question, but she sighed, letting her true for show as the black horns on the side of her head appeared and 4 arm like things were shown coming from her back. "There is a world hidden in fantasies, and within that world lies another called Kamakura where people who look the way I do now are a common sight. When you arrive there, you will come across a mad man who will put you through the worst pain you will ever face in your life, mutating you into a monster. After that, you're forced to go through even more torture. One that feels as though it will never end. But in the whole process, you'll only have one arm. You only begin with one despite all the pain and suffering you encounter. Afterwards, you have to dedicate yourself to training harder and harder until you can grow more of these vessels and make them stronger. But, if you can't go through all that, then you'll have to go to this one boy and learn Sympathy. But take this warning now, you learn Sympathy and you'll never gain the chance to gain these. So, either way, you have to make a tough decision that'll change your life forever... In fact, I could have killed you back there by making one of these vessels go through your skull and crushing it from the inside... I've done it before, and I promise you I would't have really cared if I had." ((+258))

"Listen girl, there's a few things, that you're obviously not seeing... The first one is. I do not have a skull... The second is.." Without another word, he swooped down out of the air, and plunged his ghostly clawed hand into her chest, though it left no mark, and no blood was spilled or injury received. Seconds later, he drew his hand free, and moved back to his floating position. "I'm a ghost.. You can not just manage to crush my skull with those hands of yours... Nor break a blood vessel, or sever a nerve.. Nor could you cut off a limb, or rip out an organ... Because I do not have one of those things..." He says, as he crosses his arms across his bare chest once again. Somewhere along the way, the knife he had been holding, had vanished from his grip. Leaving his hands free from holding anything, once again. [154]

Kikyo blinked a few times and blushed under her mask when he had stuck a hand through her chest. After what he said, she just sat there quietly before pointing to him. ".... HOLY s**t!!! YOU MEAN I WAS FIGHTING A GHOST THIS WHOLE TIME!?!? NO WONDER ALMOST NONE OF MY ATTACKS WORKED!" She suddenly felt like her head was gettng light and she felt faint. "Wh-wh-wait a minute. Y-you're a g-ghost?!? S-so does this mean you might know my sister or mom or dad since they're all dead?" She wasn't sure how it worked out exactly with being a ghost, but she figured she could at least ask. ((+108))

"No. If they passed on, I know nothing about them.." Than says, with a sigh. "I am here, so I never passed on.. If they were ghosts, you would know. Believe me." He says, with a slight chuckle just afterwards. "Well.. I really have nothing left to do around here, now that our little fight is over with... I may just go in search of this place you mentioned, maybe learn something useful there, before I go away to learn more techniques in other places." He says as he slowly looks around at the area they were at. He seemed to not even notice the studder or the sudden fright that she had gone under, when learning that he was a ghost. [122 Total::2904]

Kikyo frowned a little at what he said. "Oh... Alright then. Well, if you go there and see a guy name Kekaishi Soshi there, mind telling him the Kikyo says hi? It's been such a long time since I've seen him... and I miss him a lot. I know I have no right to ask, but, could you do that for me? Only if you see him?" She did a few handsigns and made herself look like she had when she was a "normal" human.

"Why don't you just come and do it yourself?" He says, as he raises an eyebrow slightly. Wondering exactly the same question that he had asked. After all, there was no point to being in a village, if she was afraid to be caught looking the way she does. It would be a waste of time, in his opinion. "Some people, can tell when you use a henge. I hope you know..." He says, with a shrug, before he turns and begins floating away, not exactly waiting for her reply, but not suddenly vanishing. He was giving her a choice, to if she wished to follow him to this world she spoke of, or stay here with the useless hiding and other seemingly annoying issues. [125]

Kikyo watched as he started t disappear and got up, deciding she'd been in the village too long. She went to her house really quickly and stuff a bag full of things she would need and then left the village to go back to Kamakura.

Komen raised an eyebrow as things seem to have quieted down a bit. Komen was making a strange look on his face as each person was beginning to disperse from the area. He saw that he didn't need to do much of anything, which was a good thing. Komen stretched his arms a bit as he needed to do some training in this village since he was here. He knew that Hedoro was still here and held a hand seal. The technique dispersed the eight trigrams bindings of heavenly grace technique. Komen walked through the village as he was looking for powerful chakra signals, not including hedoro's since he didn't want to train from her, though it would be interesting if he could learn her special techniques. Since he had mastered the art of bodiless fighting, he wondered if it would be possible for him to learn the water based techniques of Hedoro. Komen was invisioning himself learning the various water based techniques, dividing, absorbing and infecting others. The possiblities of those moves were endless, much like Komens collection of un-bodily techniques. Komen looked around a bit as he started to look toward a group of more powerful shinobi. "Hmmm...I wonder if that is where the dojo is." Komen said as he was walking down that way. He looked back and forth a bit as he was still wondering if the tip he had recieved of a person that was affiliated with the destruction of Leaf was still here in the Hidden Heaven floating village. Komen stopped in front of a pair of colossal doors. Komen did a hand seal as he was using his strong arm technique he had learned from Haruna Sakura not too long ago. He pushed the doors open with relative ease as he peered inside. A group of people were blinking at him as they really couldn't believe someone opened up the main gates, "Ummm why is everyone looking at me?" Komen asked as he saw a shinobi point a finger toward Komens immediate right. He looked to the right and blinked a bit. What he saw was a door that was imbedded in the door. Komen didn't really know why he didn't see it and was some what embarassed. Quote: 1491-1200=291 remaining Learned Elemental Disable total remaining 787

 Hedoro had continued marching forward, when Komen vanished again. She stayed still for a long moment, ignoring the other people reasonably close. Now that she'd chosen her target, she would focus on them, and only worry about someone else if they chose to interfere. Finally, she found him again, and rushed forward, this time pushing herself to move faster, to get close enough to him that he wouldn't vanish again by the time she got there. Hopefully he wouldn't keep doing that, it was already getting frustrating. She could sense him entering a large building, and her mind shifted from a straightforward assault to a different plan. This entire village seemed reasonably populated. Undoubtedly there would be people inside that building. If she were to attack out of nowhere, they could very well join in, and make her battle that much more irritating. So she'd have to think of a different method to get him to fight her, some way to be able to attack without getting the villagers upset. The meal better be worth it, for all the trouble it had already caused her. (+186)

"Um well..I didn't see that door when I was pushing the giant gate." He said with a nervous laugh as they were laughing at him a bit, "Well than is it possible for me to learn from this dojo?" Komen asked as the started to look toward one shinobi in the room. The shinobi was rather arrogent as he walked in front of Komen and looked him up and down. Komen raised an eyebrow as he was curious as to why he was getting the third degree from this shinobi, "Do you see something you like?" Komen asked as he saw the shinobi that was looking at him spit on his shoes. Komen was close to killing him in that instant. Komen heard that the others were beginning to laugh a bit, "You are another chump that wants to learn the great techniques of this village? You make me sick." He said as he and his friends were laughing at Komen. Komen stomped the ground as it was made to get their attention and open up the special field he had used not too long ago. "You would do well to not make me angry." He said as his byakugan eyes were peering at each indiviudal. Komen was also keeping an eye on Hedoro as she had closed in, "What is she up to?" Komen said as he looked forward at the people.

 Hedoro had finally managed to reach the doors of the dojo and stood there silently for a while. She could feel one of the local's approach Komen, were the two going to fight? She grumbled silently to herself at that, he better not get himself killed by anyone else, she wanted to be the one to kill him. Even though she was silent, a few of the local shinobi had noticed her formless shape standing there, but most of them quickly looked elsewhere. In her dirty, ragged rags, she looked more like a homeless vagabond than a ninja, and most people didn't care to look at her dress too long. Regardless, they'd noticed her presence, so she decided to just speak up. Better to play the part of bystander, then when there were no potential reinforcements, then she could fight. In a voice reminiscent of bubbling springs and muck, she spoke to Komen. "Hyuuga, if you want to dally with these layabouts, you better win. When you are ready for a real fight, come find me." She had intentionally snubbed the locals, she didn't feel they were worth her time, not when there was a more appetizing target right there. (+200)

Komen raised an eyebrow as she had spoken up against these arrogent students. Komen smirked as he found it rather amusing, "Hmmm I suppose a real fight is what I'm itching for right now." Komen said as he focused his chakra into his tenketsu points and began to spin in place, "Eight trigrams Great Heavenly spin." He said as the chakra force pushed out far greater than it usually would with just the simple heavenly spin. The students that he wanted to really hurt were taken up in the chakra force and flung into the walls with extreme force, enough force to knock them out. Komen saw that the students were beginning to clear the area as they were simple audience members in this ensuing fight. Komen looked at Hedoro as his field was still in effect, though invisible to the naked eye, "So Hedoro, I wonder if the rumors of you being a beast that devours her opponents is true." Komen said as he was still curious about this fact. He remembered the last time he had fought her, his techniques were basically useles against her. Taijutsu and most ninjutsu seemed to simply phase through her harmlessly, and his genjutsu's didn't seem to work all that well either. But that was then, this was now, Komen wondered if it was going to be different this time around. Komen stood in place as his masterfully trained byakugan eyes were peering straight at her, and her ever moving chakra network.

 Hedoro braced herself against the sudden force pushing against her, managing to remain upright, unlike some of the local weaklings. She knew a few of Komen's capabilities from before, but she felt confident he'd have improved a lot since then. She was counting on it, if he was only as strong now as he was then, it'd be a rather disappointing battle and meal. Once the force dispersed, she walked into the dojo, making a note to devour any of the locals who'd been knocked unconscious. If asked, she'd just say they felt dead. She moved until she was maybe twenty feet from Komen, and stood still, her arms lying loose at her sides. When he asked if she was in fact a beast that devoured, she felt a flicker of amusement. Was that what people, humans, called her now? Amusing. She laughed, although there was no trace of mirth in it. "Ha. Ha ha. Yes, it is true, as you will find out if you aren't careful, solid boy. Prepare yourself." Kunai appeared in either hand, glowing faintly from the lights above them. She didn't really care for fighting confined inside of a building, but she could make it work. If nothing else, she'd level the building and then resume her fight with Komen. With that, she stood still, she'd let the Hyuuga have the first move. She'd see just what he was capable of, see if he was actually worth her time. (+232)
