Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kiyoko breathed heavily as she felt the kunai go peirce her skin, she was still under the influence of her evil. She shook a bit as she felt the snake crawl up her back then on her hand. She looked down then at Hikaru, a curious, pained look on her face,"Uh- I... Hika-kun..."Kiyoko whispered as she held the snake, she looked down her evil was still in control but Kiyoko was putting up a fight. She had a determined expression on her face as she struggled to get on her feet, she shook as she stood up and the blood was dripping on the ground."You will not... be... in.... control anymore..."Kiyoko shouted as she threw the snake at her evil with deadly accuracy then she proceeded to faint, while she hid a kunai and had thrown a fake snake at her evil while she hid the real one.Evil Kiyoko's eyes widened as she saw the snake coming at her, she frowned and at the last second brought up a yarn to wrap around the snake before it could sink its teeth in her neck. She held the kunai and moved it to her neck,"Hmm... nice try ha ha... but its time for my curtain call... it really was fun."Evil Kiyoko giggled as she went to slit her throat, she caused some blood to draw but then she paused as she looked at the snake that was trapped, it poofed and was replaced by a kunai. Evil Kiyoko froze and the kunai dropped,"H-how?!"Kiyoko looked up from the ground and smirked,"You see when you were distracted with the false snake I was able to crawl behind you and bite your leg."Kiyoko said triumphantley as she coughed up some blood then passed out.Evil Kiyoko cursed as her limbs relaxed,"Darn it... he he he I was so close! I waited too long...."Evil Kiyoko cursed as she smirked and knealt down, she looked at Kiyoko where a large pool of blood was starting to form around her and herself,"He he... you better do it soon Hika-kun.... time is running out."Evil Kiyoko whispered as she was coughing blood herself, yarn came out from her and stabed into Kiyoko which caused more cuts and more blood. If Hikaru was going to seal her, now was the time... Evil Kiyoko was weakened and Kiyoko was starting to bleed out.

"Right."Artemis muttered as she ran to her daughter and started cleansing her hands on the way then proceeded to clot the blood then use the chiytsu no jutsu to heal her injuries. Artemis was serious and silent as she worked over her daughter, after a bit she sat back and wiped some sweat from her brow. She looked over at Hikaru then back at Kiyoko then at Buraian, she smiled a bit."She is going to be OK, thankfully we stopped it in time, any longer and it could have been fatal... but they will be OK."Artemis said in a breathless voice as she patted Kiyoko's sleeping head and smiled at Hikaru, she noticed the pendant glowing which meant that it was successful."He really is something... these kids have seen it all... what do you say we head home? It seems we have company."Artemis said in a tired voice as she felt her clone tell her that Guests were there. She picked Kiyoko up and put her on her back and smiled a bit at Buraian.

Qastor tipped down his rice fielders hat and wore his Mist robes, in contradiction of the fact that Mist was dead. He looked around, it was going to rain, he walked under a tree as the clouds rumbled and dropped his small pack. He opened it took out a small pouch and opened it setting his pack against the trunk. He laid out a small pack of three rice balls and some tea, he drank the fresh tea and took a bite out of his first rice ball. The rain began to fall in a steady sheet, protected by the tree Qastor continued to eat,"Looks like Im here again..."

Rin made her way through the lands after having taken a long time traveling. Her home village was so close it was making her restless, but she could not enter and that was a guarantee. She sat down at a small restaurant, taking out a piece of obsidian stone about the same size as her fist. Placing it on the table, she ordered and started to experiment with the rock, watching as it absorbed her demonic chakra when she used it, but did not absorb void chakra or regular chakra. How interesting.

Shoko and Kenji walked through the outskirts until they saw a small town off in the distance. "Ma'am, that would appear to be our destination....you said you wanted to take a look at the wound." he stated as he took off the shirt so she would be able to look at it. It was a small gash in his chest near an area that he had been hit before. Though now his body was riddled with cuts, bruises and a few areas that looked like he had been given a shot, though the wounds were also carefully laid out to not cause any scaring. It was pretty bad but he remained silent. The glaze over his eyes was lessened by now but he still remained completely emotionless towards Shoko. Secretly a Bushin watched from a far range, however this man was not like the other Bushin he smirked a bit as he knew that it would definitely affect Shoko. He believed she could be useful as he had observed them for a while now, and even watched what had happened to Kenji. He would wait to see Shoko's reaction to the wounds of her comrade and then decide what he would do.

Kenji remained silent for a moment. "Ma'am?" he questioned her for a minute he saw her smile but it didn't seem to register. "What do you mean? We are Bushin..." he didn't seem to comprehend, when she healed his wound he looked blankly at her. Suddenly, the figure darted down. He wore Bushin robes, had a cigar in his mouth and smiled a bit at Shoko. "Please Miss, dismiss him...I wish to talk to you personally, leader to leader." he said in a kind tone, completely different from any Bushin leader they had met before. Kenji didn't know how to react to the man, if he was a leader he was suppose to salute as trained but he didn't act like a leader at all, and it conflicted with what he was trained to do, so he just stared blankly at the man and once dismissed when to find Rin, though the people in town thought him weird for his blank expression.

There was no apparent surprise or wariness in Rin's actions, merely sinking the fragment back into the black void she had taken it from before answering. "My, it's been quite a number of years since I've seen someone quite like you." A faint smile graced her features, but she was clearly watching the newcomer closely. "That would depend on what sort of business you have with said person. As far as my knowledge goes, it's not in your nature to seek out former employers without reason." She replied calmly, staring intently at the boy.
