Welcome to Gaia! ::

Akeru was hoping that her close distance to the enemy kunoichi would let her kunai hit before she could react enough to evade them, but the sound nin was quick. She gritted her teeth as she could feel the chakra signature that coincided with her position head behind her, towards where the water was. With the threat of the wind attack no longer there, Akeru came to a stop, taking a brief second to reorient herself, spinning around at such a high speed made one dizzy quick.

In attidion to being slightly dizzy for a few seconds, Akeru was also beginning to feel a severe pain in her head. She knew where the splitting headache was coming from, she couldn't leave the cross state of her Tenraigan active for much longer. She may have had chakra remaining, but the ability still took its toll on her.

Akeru, while holding her head, reached into one of her pouches and dropped something on the ground. They were small and hard too see from Seika and Shun's point of view, but once they hit the ground, a thick smoke was expelled from them, obscuring the area. Once she was obscured by smoke, Akeru with a quick movement wrapped the end of her chain around her arm, freeing up her hand. She didn't have to look to know that an attack was coming, the sound kunoichi seemed to hate being touched as much as she did, in fact it was even worse for her. She seemed pissed merely by the fact that Akeru had gotten close.

As they saw the silhouette of Akeru in the smoke, the snakes that Seika had launched seemed to head directly towards her and pierce through her. However, if they looked closely enough they would see that the blades in the snakes' mouths never hit anything, Akeru had used a replacement before the attack hit home, and while the two sound ninja wouldn't immediately know her position, Akeru's chakra network once again let her tell where they were.

As the two sound ninja were standing on top of the water, Akeru was hoping that they wouldn't be prepared for what she had planned, an attack from below. Akeru's chain broke the surface of the water, surrounding the two sound ninja like a lasso. As it was around the both of them, she pulled on it, tightening it and hopping to capture the both of them. Unlike a regular lasso, every link of her chain was bladed, so if she did manage to wrangle them, it would prove most fatal. However, she was relying completely on her chakra network to detect thier position, the oily surface and flames prevented any visual detection.

Dance of Thorns
♠ Shuniji Fuku



Shuniji was in the process of raising an eyebrow to Seika's shenanigans when their surroundings erupted with activity.

Smoke bombs went off, and though the heat and flames were already making it difficult to see, any trace of Akeru suddenly vanished.

Almost immediately following the smoke, Akeru's chain burst out of the water around the duo. If Shuniji had had time to think, he would have been impressed with the Sand-nin's use of body flicker.

Seika reacted before Shuniji, using her Wind Snake Jutsu to launch herself out of danger. The blast warped the water and Shuniji fell backwards.

The flailing, wind-shocked barrier of chain behind Shuniji tore wildly at his jacket and hair as he stumbled, catching himself just in time to barely avoid being scalped.

Howling more from anger than pain, Shuniji brazenly grabbed the chain out of the air, using his superior strength to bring the steel tornado to a halt. His gloves split and his hands bled, but Shuniji could not have cared less.

Jerking the chain forward to accommodate his hand sign, he yelled.

"ELECTROMAGNETIC MURDER!"

The entire lake blazed white as the metal chain drove the charge into the water below.

Kazuki Habaragi
Kazuki looked around at all of the chaos reigning outside. The tower seemed to be surrounded by a lake of burning destruction. "Woah....these Sound guys don't mess around.", he vaguely commented. He heard someone near him shout a jutsu and then go limp. He activated his Carsing eye as he ran over and noticed it was Inochi from earlier. If he remembered correctly this guy was from the Leaf. Not that it really mattered what village he was from, they all needed to work together if they were going to survive. He drew two kunai from his pouch and stood up. Whatever jutsu he had just used, he hoped he was doing something about the situation in the lake. By expanding his vision he had noticed Akeru in the lake and the lightning that was about to zap her out of existence.
He didn't have any ideas at that moment ohter than to charge down onto the lake. He jumped and flipped over the burning steps to the tower and landed on the lake. He focused his own lightning chakra to his feet to negate Shunji's charge going through the water and began to charge toward him, throwing the two kunai as he went. The plan was to take this guy's focus away from Akeru and towards himself so Inochi had some time to get her out of her sticky situation.

Seika had just raised her head to see the whole lake light up. It was so intense, she could feel the heavy static from where she was. There was no way somebody could survive that, right? Her eyes scanned the hellish water for any sign of the girl from before. Though she couldn't tell from her current position. Though one thing she DID notice, her genjutsu was no longer suppressed. She pieced together that it had some significance to Akeru's death. Or at least...she assumed Akeru was dead..

Her legs wobbled as she stood up and retrieved her scythe a few feet away. All that adrenaline from before had vanished, and left Seika with the ever persistent dull pain in her stomach area. She groaned before setting her attention on her partner in crime. He seemed to be engaged with...somebody else? Already? They just kept coming! Seika pursed her lip with a tinge of amusement and gripped the stem of her scythe. She began to twirl it at a steady pace. The weapon produced a sharp howling noise that caused the water ripple. The sound waves were traveling to Kazuki's area, all that was left was the tune.

"HAHAHA~~!
Ooh, Devon, won't go to heaven. She's just another lost soul, about to be mine again!
Leave her, we will receive her. It is beyond your control, will you ever meet again~?"

Being that Akeru was out of the picture, Seika was able to resume her genjutsu. Her Siren Song: Genjutsu Binding to be exact. However, it was less potent than before, since she was only focusing her genjutsu on Kazuki. The vibrations from her sound waves would lock up his joints until he was still. Soon he would find his body unable to move.

As for Inochi....he was so quiet; she didn't notice him yet.

Dance of Thorns
♠ Shuniji Fuku



Shuniji didn't bother waiting for Akeru's body to surface. There was already someone else taking her place on the field. Shuniji was quick to notice that if he were able to walk safely across the electrified water, then his own lightning jutsu would likely have little effect.

Not a problem, though. Shuniji wasn't a one-trick pony. He had options.

He also had Seika at his back, Shuniji noted as her song spun around him like a protective blanket. Kazuki began to slow down and Shuniji grinned and prepared to make his move.

Kazuki suddenly appeared stunned by something and Shuniji followed his line of sight to finally take note of the corpse. Shuniji turned back to raise an eyebrow at Kazuki, but the next assault was already upon him.

Shuniji couldn't exactly blame the kid. He'd be pissed if someone hurt Seika on his watch, though he'd be hard-pressed to admit that. It had only taken four years to admit such a statement to himself.

He would have become defensive and snippy to counteract his thoughtful introspection, but Shuniji had problems to take care of--namely this wall of wind headed his way.

Ironically leaving Seika to fend for herself, Shuniji once again let himself fall under the water. Using both his amphibious nature and incredible strength, Shuniji kicked through the water like a torpedo.

He blasted through the surface of the water on the other side of the wind barrier, within limb's reach of Kazuki.

"DYNAMIC ENTRY!!"

He kicked. Hard.

"Tch." Seika spat as Kazuki interrupted her lovely melody with his disruptive wind technique. With one swift motion, she stabbed the toe of her scythe into the ground, then held onto it with an iron grip. She wasn't going to waste her chakra deflecting a wind technique. Not this one at least..

When it surpassed, she slowly perked up and took note of Shuniji's current position. He seemed un-phased and ready to beat the living s**t out of Kazuki. Seika would be a horrible friend if she didn't support him. She jerked her scythe out of the ground and swung it around a few times.
Seika resumed her melody. Only this time, she wasn't still. Her body moved around gracefully as she twirled her scythe. It was as if her body were just...floating along. It almost looked as if she were dancing with her own weapon as the lead. Even though she wasn't on the water, her position was moving constantly. The water violently pulsated with her song's vibrations. Carrying it even further than it normally would.

"LET'S GO RIGHT NOW!" She screamed.

"Here's to our perfect weapon, crack bones with blind aggression~!

Through the consequence
Through the consequence (disco, disco)
Have you ever danced?
Have you ever danced?
You ever danced that disco s**t?

I'm unwrapping my skin
It's under control
I'm my own next victim
I want you to know!

Wear my disguise, inside the masquerade~!
As I plan my, I plan out my escape!
I don't want money
Just remember my name
The red lights on~!!"

Her rhythmical Siren song was no pushover. The vibrations of the sound waves would become overwhelming, shaking every cell at a different pitch. It would become impossible for Kazuki to move. There was something different about this melody. Of course the genjutsu itself was directed at Kazuki, but the lyrics were meant for Shuniji's ears. Seika was cheering him on. This was Shuniji ******** Fuku's song.

"I traded my eyes in for velvet and gold!
Our lips open wide and don't let me go~!

Take off the mask
And live like royalty~!
It's all I have
From here to infinity!
We try not to hide
No I just can't resist!"


Go get em', my dear buddy.

Kazuki Habaragi
Kazuki didn't even have time to curse as he missed, a more powerful sound was already upon him. His Carsing sight confirmed that that girl was again creating a genjutsu directed toward him, only this time it was louder and was taking effect quicker. He could already feel his limbs begin and set and remain still. 'Damn it! Can't move now.'

Looking up he noticed that now his male opponent had pulled out a megaphone and had begun his own singing barrage. This was probably another tactic for him staying there so he could be pummeled when he landed. If Kazuki could still move he would've attempted to block out the sound with his hands, not that it would really make a difference at this point. He could feel the vibrations of their music down to his core. Even his Carsing vision was beginning to falter. He couldn't make out where anyone was anymore. His whole sense of direction was getting destroyed with this riot of sound and vibrations. If anyone could see chakra, his would appear to be severely confused.

Barely able to think properly at this point through all of the pain, Kazuki decided on one idea. Giving up his concentration, Kazuki's feet stopped producing chakra and he promptly fell straight down into the water. Any electricity still in the water wouldn't really affect him as he was used to small shocks. Underwater, Shuniji and Seika's song vibrations could still be felt but it was to a lesser degree. Unfortunately, Kazuki still had no way to move, Seika's song was still affecting him to a degree. He simply let himself fall to the bottom of the lake. This should be a good spot to recover for a little bit as well as slightly protect him from Shuniji's incoming attack.
Down on the bottom, Kazuki had only one thought occur to him-WHERE THE HELL WAS INOCHI?!
