Elruda groaned, slowly shaking her head and clutched at it. She didn't know what to choose anymore... "Okaa-san, I'm me before I'm a Hyuuga. Yet...my pride as one of the Hyuuga family...I cannot be so graceless as to abandon my sensei when he had saved my life and cared for me." A sad smile, as she added. "I would've never met okaa-san again otherwise. He saved me from the swamp, took me in, taught and cared for me." A slight pause. "I...don't know what will happen. But if Wrath-sensei requests me to return...I am indebted to him, I cannot leave." Her tone grew rueful now. "I will visit whenever missions pass by Fire Country...one day become a Sannin...and be free to travel between both villages..."
"Hn. It doesn't have to be so long away." Yokou smiled at her daughter. "I said we can live together, right? And Ame and Konoha aren't too far apart. When this sensei of yours show up...I'll speak to him about permission to reside in Hidden Rain... As for the actual verbal battle...and...eh, reparations for bodily injury...let's leave that to your Amekage and Zephyr-sensei..."

Sakeme continued to watch the two. "It's not up to him on whether you live with us or not... It's the Amekage's... and He's WRath-sensei's uncle... And since the moron of a Kage kidnapped us in front of our Kage and his brothers, they'll be looking for us... Though because they don't know where we are, we can make it back home before they try to look for us here... " Getting up she gave the kid a serious look. "What we do is up to you... I'm not gonna force you to go or stay... However, I would appreciate it if I wasn't going to be Wrath's next target because you disappeared... In his case we have even more time though... cuz he's still on a mission, last I checked..."

He yawned a bit noticing the variable minefield that was opening up. Man what a pain. he had solved one problem but probably caused like about 5 others. In other times, he'd just pack up shop and leave but this time he really couldn't. He wouldn't have felt right just leaving the village now. He caused enough trouble as is. However, this girl was starting to annoy the hell outta him. He couldn't even listen to his music properly without her bellyaching about something.
Taking off his earphones, he pointed them towards Sakeme, "Take a chill pill for a second would ya?" A focused shot of sound would hit the girl's ears and make her loopy for a while as it would compeltly distort her balance and hearing. He placed the earphones back around his neck and looked to the mother and daughter.
He glanced back and forth between them for a moment and scratched his head, "Aysi aysi tetta..." no one knew what that ment except him but he said it when he was aggrivated over something for which he had no immediate solution. "Well, to be honest midget, if this new guy of yours really cared half a rats a** about you, he'd understand what it meant for you to stay with your mom who's now trying to be a mom. He shouldn't have any serious issues. And if he does...guess I could warp his mind by letting him see that porno of his cousin...nah...don't want to start and international incident over porn." He laughed a bit.
He then turned to Yokou, "And you...well, you get a second chance at life right now. You go back to Konoha, your gonna have hell to pay with things like remodling the village and getting the clan fixed up and what not. Sides, what's the point of a clan that doesn't care about its own members so far as their power is concerned. My families the same way, thats why I said screw them and went to do my own thing." He pointed to Elrude, "You got your midget sitting right here. You really went through one kickass night of passion and 9 months of hell to pop her out and now your gonna just let all that go? Screw that, I'll keep ya here if you try to walk out again. Anyone got a problem with that can...go talk to the elders of the village." he laughed.
Sound of Music
This is a rather odd jutsu that no one is quite sure how it works except the owner. By taking off his earphones, the owner of this jutsu can do one of two things. He can either magnify the sound waves coming off the earphones through manipulation of the wind and cause a huge shock wave of sound to hit the oppoenent and knock them off balance. OR he can focus the sound into the oppoenents ears causing the volume and vibration to increase dramatically and harm the opponents hearing and balance.
Rank: B
Cp Cost: 60(for shock wave) / 80(for focused shot)
Damage: 70-100 for shock wave / 100 - 130 for focused shot
Requirements: Wind Affinity, Chakra Control 60+, Earphones, Must be taught by me
Training: 10 Days
Special: *The shock wave version of the attack will still do half damage even if you dodge it. It also strikes all in an area in front of the user. If it does hit dead on, the defender is knocked back and off their feet and looses half their attack turns for their next turn.
*The focused shot is used on one opponenet and runs the risk of rupturing the ear drums. If the opponenet dodges, they take no damage. If they are hit, they must perform a balance check for the next 3 turns to see if they stay on their feet. The DC for the balance check is the the Attack DC of this ninjutsu.

Sakeme didn't get what was happening now... her head was.. ringing? Shuddering to her knees, she barely made out the last few words. "You... moron... you're not the one... who's gonna die... for her disappearance..." Elruda would know what she meant... As Wrath was pretty much merciless towards Sakeme... But nothing else could be done, as she'd fallen unconcious to the floor. Elruda wasn't comming back... there would most likely be a war over this... With the Ame kage being involved and all... She'd be lucky if she did make it out alive... Wrath wouldn't show mercy.

Elruda's jaw dropped. "P-porno?" For a long moment, she could not find her voice. Then, a little anime crown appeared as she noticed her Genin friend in a daze. "Eek, Sa-chan's ears are bleeding! Mummy, do something!!" And then almost meekly, she added to her mother. "He's...unique..." At that, Yokou had to nod in agreement. Elruda stomped her right foot once. "Our Hokage's probably a boring old man! Why can't we get a cool guy?" She didn't notice her mother's shoulders slightly droop at the mention of the word 'Hokage'.
Cp: 2608/2738
Yokou obliged her daughter's wishes, forming the seals for the Shosen technique. Her palms lit a mystic green as she gently cupped her hands around the young brown-haired kunoichi's ears. "Tsuchikage-sama is indeed different from all the others." With qualities that Konoha treasured...no, with off-beat qualities like her own sensei...no wonder the two got along.
"Arigatou." A soft smile crossed her face. Not Elruda's insane wide grins but the expression alone made the two seem even more alike. Even more softly, she continued on. "You're right... My sheep are the Hyuuga clan...as their shepherd it would not be right to abandon them to the wolves. Someday, it will be your duty too, princess... You don't realize now...yet, Elruda...you do have qualities that attract others...odd mixture of wildness and humbleness...." A moment's pause. "No...as among their Sannin...the people of Konoha are my sheep... Once, long ago...sensei abandoned his people and village... Doshi...he's trying to make up for the lost time now..."
The mystic green glow around her hands vanished. She gently embraced her daughter again. "But lost time can never be restored.. Yet...we can have new memories together...right, princess...?"
Shosen Jutsu
By concentrating chakra to the hand, the user is able to cure wounds by focusing their own chakra to where the critical injuries lie, healing them in the process. This jutsu, however, uses up a high amount of chakra. This may also be utilized as the Chakra Enjintou and Chakra no Mesu, or the chakra scalpel for that matter - in order to sever the opponent's muscle fibers at the point of contact.
Rank: A
Cp cost: 60 + 10 per 20 Hp healed
Damage: N/A
*Combat scalpel: Same as common taijutsu damage but adds chakra modifier instead of str modifier. Affected victim must roll a reflex save (DC: your attack roll) to avoid inner bleeding, should the inner bleeding check fail the victim shall lose 3 Hp per round per time hit. Also depending on the area you are hit you might receive extra penalties. Such as -10 attack roll and damage for arm and leg wounds.
Requirements: Treat Injury 50 ranks, Chakra Control 70
Training days: 15 days.
Special: If used as a combat Scalpel, user must beat defendants’ Dodge Bonus by at least 10 points to cut muscle fibers in area hit. Defender cannot use affected area until healed or for 10 turns.

Sakeme's eyes opened slightly, a blurry sight of people in front of her was all she could see. "Holy... hell... that wasn't fun..." She leaned back again as her vision clear again, she was still a bit dizzy. It looked like the two had made up their mind... So what was she supposed to do. Stick with the child to protect her, that would, or might, prevent her death at wrath's hands, or should she return home... in order to prevent a war? Hmmm... tough choice? Was there a way to do both? Like send a letter or something to the Kage? She wasn't quite sure.

Marcus just looked on and scratched his chin a bit. Man he hated that title, "Stop calling me that. It's just Marcus ok? I hate that damn title." he groaned a bit then moved over to where they had gathered around the other girl. He remembered her saying something about possibly dieing once her Kage found out what had happened. He never understood such strictness and how one could call themselves a leader yet lead only through fear. Maybe Marcus should have done more back there...no, he didn't have the knowledge nor the manpower to do anything. Sides, it was more Marcus' style to do surprise attacks.
He pulled his guitar from his back and began to poke the knocked out girl with the body of it. Not for anyr eal purpose, he just liked doing it. He then turned to Yokou, "Hmm? Different huh? Meh, I'm me. That's how I've always been. Many people think the village must have been desperate for allowing someone with my history to be in charge but...I think they had other reasons for picking me...I hope so at least." He laughed a little.
"And you don't have to thank me..." he scratched his chin for a moment, "Scratch that, yes you do. I want you both to do a little favor for me later. You don't have a choice in the matter either so deal." He laughed a bit as his mind began to race with thoughts of how to lighten the mood of the village. It was about time for a nice little celebration he thought.

Elruda and Yokou began saying the same thing together. The child, more suspiciously with an raised eyebrow due to the earlier porno comment while Yokou evenly, followed with a bell-like laugh. "As long as it's nothing of suspicious virtue or an illegal business transaction, why not, Marcus-dono." Wise women...perhaps that was something passed along the Hyuuga line too.

Sakem glared at the man poking her. "First off, Elruda doesn't have to do anything for you... Maybe you should have done your research before acting... Every Shinobi knows to get ALL the information before doing something. Some Kage you are... " Yup... she'd regained her attitude that she'd tryed to tone down towards Wrath for Elruda's sake. "So what's the decision, Kid... You need to make up your mind soon so I can act accordingly... I'm not about to let a war happen because yuo were MORONICALLY kidnapped..." She started to get up slowly, using the wall for balance, eyeing the two Hyuugas...

Marcus simply smiled and finished poking the just awakened konouichi. He put his guitar on his back and smiled as he nodded to them. However, the girl hadn't learned ehr lesson yet. Before he did anything else, he would tap his foot onto the ground. A shift of the tiles on the floor would occure and soon, a river of morter and other natural building materials used in the hospital would sweep the girl down into one of the beds nearby.
Marcus would walk over to the bed and, before she could move, he'd strap her in and smile, tappign her on the head with his guitar. He then began to rummage through the pile of needles and supplies left by a nurse to use on Elrude. He picked one (completly at random) and moved towards the girl. "Well now, wonder what this is? Meh, guess we'll find out." He was about to stick the girl but only wanted to see her reaction. Actually, he lost interest about half way there and simply tossed the needle to the side.
He then began to walk out of the room and tilted his head to the side before turning ot them and asking a question, "What's a virtue?" Without waiting for an answer, he simply shrugged and began to walk off out of the room to prep everything.

Okay... so this guy was out to get her, she swore it! Strapping her to a bed and comming at her with a needle of unknown liquid. She could show fear though... so she glared, until he left... The sighing deeply she turned her head towards the kid. "Mind letting me go? This guy is a nutjob... How the heck did he make it to Kage?" Her voice only held a hint of pleading to Elruda... She had a feeling that if the two Hyuuga did the favor... it wouldn't end well, she had a bad feeling about him...

"Mummy!" Elruda exclaimed in semi-alarm at Marcus' comment. "I dun think virtue is in his vocabulary...(expression: @_@)!!" Yokou grinned slightly now. "That's what sensei claimed too." Her smile faded as though personally...she wondered why Marcus would so intentionally disparage himself... A lot like her own sensei, always claiming himself unworthy of everything. Was it true that the people of Iwa would be so cold to think something like that...? This Taida...though certainly he was the first one of the Taida family she had met...and Marcus did claim he was the black sheep of his family... She liked him. He had a sense of humor, what many of those traditionally strict kages lack...he had the ability to win his people's love...
His methods, his feelings were...too foreign? No, what was disconcerting was...that attitude, a mixture of pride and humility...his sense of virtue despite what Marcus himself claimed to lack... It was too familiar for comfort. What qualities Konoha hailed would not have been the same as what Iwa hailed...
In her eyes, she say Marcus as a respectable leader...one who should've been well loved by his clan and people...yet, somehow...why did she get this depressing feeling the people of Iwa thought otherwise? He is a natural born leader... Came the musing. Then...is there one Iwa cannot forget?
Ah. That woman. Perhaps a relative of Marcus, the reigning Tsuchikage when the Konoha group first arrived in Iwa. Flying rumors, lamenting...of how she had disappeared without a trace.
So that was it... The villagers...were too heartbroken to open their eyes to another. Such a shame...
To Sakeme, because Elruda looked so unsure... She took the liberty to respond. Even tone, business-like...suitable for the Hyuuga head of family. "We didn't leave Konoha without supplies. A few of our shinobi managed to smuggle out our best messenger birds. One can be sent to Ame, first to your Amekage explaining the situation. As for the rest...your sensei will have to speak to me." A pause. "You have nothing to fear, child. Our group will not be returning to Konoha for a good time to come."
All the while said while Yokou, along with her daughter's help, worked on releasing the straps.

Sakeme nodded somewhat. "Alright, that's all fine and dandy but... could someone let me out of this thing? It's kinda depressing being stuck strapped to a bed... and that guys gives me an odd vibe... Hadn't felt something like that since I was at the orphinage and some pediphile came to adopt... " She shuddered metally... So... with the communication thing handled.. would they go to Ame to talk to Wrath or would Wrath have to travel back to Iwa? And what would her place be in all of this?

With a final click, the straps gave away. "With the Konoha group in such a state...I'm not certain if I can promise to depart with you for Ame. As well...to our clan, our word means everything." A soft pause. "Tsuchikage-sama appears to need assistance on something and no, relax Elruda...I'm confident it's not anything suspicious." Another pause. "You're more than welcome to stay with us." Elruda was still looking at her mother funny. "Ooh. Ok...mummy, if you say so." Her mother was excellent at divination, even without the Byakugan...but Elruda really wondered just how sure her mother was when it came down to Marcus. That guy seemed impossible to divine for her... Everything about him just was...out of the ordinary.

Sakem sat up and slipped off the bed. "Alright... if you're sure about him... I'm rarely ever wrong about those vibes though..." She remembered that one incident very clearly... She'd almost been the one to get picked after all. She decided to take up their offer of sticking close. Standing by Elruda semi-protectively... Old habits die hard of course... She was still in somewhat of a sour mood. "Alright... so where to now?"
