Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Tsuki moved in front of her, attacking the three men on the left, Vykin moved to hit the three on the right. She moved with speed and grace, a red chakra coming over her body. She was pissed off at the fact that these guys continued thinking that they were gods here in the Mist Village, allowed to pick any girl off of the street and claim them as her own. The Genin moved, a water element jutsu flowing over her body, allowing her to enter into her water flicker. Time seemed to slow down for her as she ran through the three men, jumping over the first one so she could hit the second one hard with the flat side of her blade. She felt the man's skull crack as the sword impacted it and she sent her chakra around her right fist, now in a crouched position. With a swift movement, she delivered a gut wrenching punch upwards into her opponent's stomach, compressing his lungs and feeling the contents of his stomach rising. Not wanting to be caught in the vomit that was sure to follow, she reached back with the hook part of her blade, catching the first man's shirt and pulling him in front of her, time still slowed for her. Vykin kicked the man into the other one, sending them both flying to the ground. She then jumped into the air, delivering a chakra charged kick into the top man's spine, hurting the one underneath too. Vykin then dropped to the ground next to the two shinobi, deactivating her Water Flicker.

It was around then that Vykin looked back and saw Sai picking up Tsuki for a ride. She was about to angrily stop him, when she decided against it. Let the man have his fun. She was a b***h to him all the other times anyway... so she decided to let her have his fun. The best part was that he probably wouldn't even figure out that it was intentional that he was allowed to connect with Tsuki, thus, maintaining her b***h status to him. For whatever reason, that was important to her. But then that left her with nothing to do as Sai attempted to seduce the beautiful shinobi that was in front of him. Vykin looked behind her, noticing that the man that was she induced vomiting from was currently drowning in it as he went unconscious. Vykin decided that he didn't deserve to die, and tilted the man's head sideways, allowing him the ability to breathe as the vomit spilled out. She had had practice with this when a lot of her friends had been drinking too much and were vomiting like crazy. It was a simple technique that allowed him to stay alive. The Genin looked over to see that Sai was showing off his marble techniques to Tsuki, and she seemed to be generally enjoying herself. Whatever. It was still a gay-a** technique list, but kudos to Sai for knowing how to keep a girl entertained. That heightened his status slightly in her mind.

Vykin jumped to a nearby rooftop to watch the pair work, seeing how well Sai was doing. She would be sure to give him a grade for his performance after they were in private, allowing him to understand what he did wrong and what he did right for Tsuki, and allowing him to work better at his skills during their next confrontation. Vykin moved to the mission office building's roof to see how long they were going to keep this up and how far Sai was going to get.

Tsukiyamoru laughed softly, resisting the urge to make the otter again. "My sister used to make an otter for me to chase after." She spoke, her smile a little distant, but it was content at the same time. "Nah, dunno when I'm going to get back up here. Besides, you know Vykin would come after you." She chuckled, glancing to the marbles as they gathered, walking to the platform and sitting down next to him, bringing her knees into her chest. "I don't talk enough to people, so, might as well work on it eh?" She smirked, turning her gaze to meet his.

Tsukiyamoru figured that the more he could avoid Vykin's teasings and whatnot, he would take the chance. She watched him, blinking a little as she saw what he was doing, seeming quite calm. She smiled softly, forcing the water around her to stop vibrating. So he was a fellow Mizu. She watched the marble a little longer before turning her gaze to him, a sad look briefly passing across her eyes. "Earth. But where I was born, I'm not sure if it was here or Snow." She answered softly, her headband flashing in the light as she shifted and tied it around her waist. "So you are Mizu as well?" She murmured, resting her head on her knee's while looking at him.

Tsuki was glad he didn't press, she could tell he had seen the sad look. She never liked explaining things better left forgotten. A hand was unconsciously touching the scars on her back though, forcing her hands to rest in her lap then. She glanced to the ice as it shifted, following the marble for a bit before returning to him once more. "It's alright though. It was all I really learned to use. My sister was the one who taught me how to fight and protect myself. My parents were busy with my little brother." She told him quietly, she never really spoke much about her family, it was a little painful for her to, watching as they followed after the clouds. Her brown eyes found his, her expression relaxing as a smile spread across her features, warming them a bit. "Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't have focused so much on it and more on other things." She murmured after a moment, her tone thoughtful as she brushed her hair aside again.

Tsukiyamoru hid her hands behind her legs, letting one straighten, her hands resting on that one. She blushed slightly, smiling distantly, yet warmly as her fingers touched the pendant that was hidden from view. "indeed. Only reason I'm still alive today." She said quietly, snapping out of it to look at him, her eyes finding his again. She forced the blush to fade as quickly as she could, blinking a little as she looked at him blankly, a smile spreading across her face as she chuckled, leaning forward a little as she sat cross legged. "I was always focused on getting better with my water bending, since it was my strength when I was running. Whenever I watched academy students training, I mimicked them and decided to focus purely on water-based jutsu's. Right now, I just want to get stronger, it doesn't really matter what I learn. So, I wonder if I shouldn't have been so narrow minded as a child." She explained, turning to reach a hand into a cloud of mist, knowing he could see her back at this point but she didn't care. It wasn't the scars on her back that bothered her. When she straightened, she was holding a ball of water, having it form a needle, then a kunai, lastly the otter that she had run over to him. Looking back to him, she watched the otter roll around as if it were alive, the essence of playfulness.

Tsuki tilted her head a little in thought, that was a very good point. She wouldn't be the same as she was now if it had been any other way. "No, I agree with that." She murmured, her eyes lowering to the otter as it fell over, giggling a little. She watched it chase after the marbles, eventually climbing up onto one and then trying to jump from one to the next. She found her mind wandering back to when she used to play in the stream, chasing after the life-sized water otter that her sister made. But then the otter became a boy who pushed her over, the image shifting so that there were more of them against her while her sister came running from the house... She startled, making the otter vanish right before it's paw would have spiked into his leg. Looking away, she ran a hand through her hair, shaking her head. Dammit... I guess they will never stop haunting me eh? She gave an ironic chuckle, forming another otter that quickly took the firsts place as if nothing had happened, it's paws chasing after a marble. She felt the ache in her back, stretching as she sat up a bit straighter, rubbing her lower back with a sigh. "Do they bother you?" She asked rather suddenly, looking to him, a calm coming over her expression, she didn't want him seeing anything of what had just transpired.

Tsuki raised a slight eyebrow, damn. He had noticed. She was relieved when he didn't question though, smirking as she made the otter leap after the marble. It did seem to laugh when the marble rubbed against it. She chuckled a little, her hand still rubbing one of the angrier looking scars, about to answer, when she shook her head, her expression softening. "Nevermind, it's nothing." She felt her arms aching a little, biting her lower lip as she glanced over to him. She trusted him, deciding she would allow him to see. She undid her bracers, sliding them off of her lower arm with a small sigh, her hands rubbing the scarred skin. The entirety from her wrist to her elbows was horribly scarred, twisting and puckering from fire scorching it away. "Sorry, I know they aren't pleasant to look at." She said quietly, her smile faltering a little before she made it grow again, calling up a second otter to join the first in it's ploy to catch a marble. She kept rubbing her lower arms, switching from one to the other, watching the two otters as they fell over each other, making her laugh a little.
