Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hmm... Thank you..." She whispered. Tutsumi had taken her hands and for the moment she didnt mind. Instead she slouched over a bit and took in a few deep breaths. For the most part the pain was weak, and she started to only feel a bit achy. Some one had listened to her cries and granted her wish. A small gust of wind caused her hair to completely fall over her shoulders and she shivered. Her body was covered in sweat and she hated it. She felt dirty, and useless, unable to understand these pains at all. She started to open her eyes slowly.

"Why is this-" Her voice stopped and her eyes went wide. Blood trickled down her leg and she suddenly pulled away from Tustumi and shot up. No! Her mind screamed and she shook her head violently before trying to run off deeper in the forest. Tears again ran down her cheeks and though she stumbled, she didnt want to stop. No no no!! This wasnt happening, the light couldnt be gone, but she didnt sense it.

-=Ishira's sudden movement caught Kakuro completely off guard, but he was not necessarily shocked.....He could smell the blood, and knew what she had feared had indeed come to pass.....His heart almost skipped a beat in sympathy for her.....

But as she shot up, and began to run away, only his eyes followed her.....He saw Tutsumi take off after her, and it was his movement that made Kakuro snap back to reality....

Kakuro formed the Upward Arrow again, and felt his chakra flare for a moment....=-

"DOTON, KABE SOUKEN NO JUTSU..."

-=A wall of earth shot up a few yards in front of her, cutting off her path of flight.....and leaving her nowhere else to run....

He hoped the man could calm her....her body was under enough stress as it was,....she needed to be calm, or he feared she would only do more damage to herself....=-

Catching up to her, he wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him, placing his head next to her own. He closed his eyes and looked down, his hands shaking slightly.

((GOD DAMNIT ISHIRA! YOU WORTHLESS SLUT! CAN'T EVEN BRING ME A BABY! <-----This is just a joke people, seriously.))

"Ishira...it's okay...it happens...it's okay..."

-=Kakuro eyes were dead upon Ishira, as Tutsumi attempted to calm her.....She would need as much support as she could get, he knew.....It would be hard coping with the loss of her child.....

But as he looked upon Ishira, his ears picked up the swift patter of feet on the forest floor,....Someone was approaching and rather rapidly....He concentrated on the sound allowing it to overtake his senses....

Kakuro turned just in time to see, the figure come sprinting towards him,....He would have dismissed the action had he not seen her eyes....they were trained upon him, the glint of pure hatred in them.....

Kakuro's eyes went wide, as he moved into a quick stance....He felt his chakra flare, as the figure came upon him......There was no way around it,....the girl was out for blood, and it seemed it was his she sought, though he had no idea why......=-

-=Her kick went through his fire clones chest sending a shower of flames every where,....Then a brief sound could be heard as Kakuro jumped from a high branch, somersaulting, his hands forming hand seals.....=-

"KATON, KAKURO NO ENKEI..."

-=Black fire shot from his outstretched hands as he continued to soar through the air......It created a circle around the girl, and flared high creating a pillar of black fire around her.....=-

-=Kakuro could not understand why in the world the girl had so suddenly decided to attack him.....And up to this point he had not really made any effort to truly harm her....but as the arrow came speeding his way, he knew, he would have to get serious before went too far......

Kakuro simply punched at the arrow and a wave of fire shot from his fist, insinerating the arrow in mid flight......He came to a easy landing just on the other side of his black flame pillar......And as he did he took a stance....

Then he began to warp his hands in a circular motion, and the pillar reacted to his movement, turning into a great, rising vortex of black flame......The pillar took on the form of a great black snake,.....and following the motions of Kakuro's hands, it lashed out at the girl....but not before he spoke....=-

"I know not why you attack me, but if it is a battle you seek, a battle it is you have found...."

"No harm has befallen Ishira by my hand,....I am a friend....Kakuro is my name....

But you attacked blindly, not knowing whom it is you attack.......I am of the Black Flame village, and I do not take kindly to your harrassments..."

-=He spoke that last with malice in his voice,.....and as he spoke, his internal and external body temperature was rising rapidly....His chakra was flowing, feeding his fire.....And before anyone knew it, his entire body erupted in a blaze of fire......=-

-=The blaze was gone as quickly as it had come, but it left waves of intense heat rising from Kakuro's body.....He stood alone now, The girl having run toward Ishira and Tutsumi....His black flame serpent was still there, but he dispelled it quickly; it left a huge scorch mark upon the ground.....

Strangely, as he looked toward the girl, he felt no anger or resentment....In all truth, neither had been harmed, and it seemed her reasons were just....

Kakuro simply sighed,....then slowly, he began to walk toward Ishira and the others...=-
