The mute woman's now silver eyes never left the girl, and her gaze was soft and the utter meaning of serenity. But great worry flashed with those starlit depths well watching her twist and roll in great pain. Yet her heart leaped for joy and happiness at seeing the radiant smile crossing over the girl's features before she streched out her hand.
Listening to her soft sweet voice,Fuin Mir Her gaze fell on Eien and she smiled reaching a hand up towards her. "Please... Don't run... away..."
=I would never.=
Watching for a moment in awe as shattered into a sea of beautiful shadows and ribbons. A soft 'ting' made her come back to herself, sad that the girl was gone. Yet as her pale for reached down and gently picked up the radiant crystal. She cradled it close and smiled, it would be alright. The warmth spread over her as she let her star shine free before holding the gem very carefully and making her way out of the tent, before glancing back. She would guard this with her life as she would with her unborn child. And hopefully help her if she could. Turning back she leaves the tent as the fold falls down and returns to the tent from before, standing and looking out the stadium with the gem glowing like her star on her brow.

The gem glistened and shimmered in her hand as she stood out in the open watching the Stadium. If Eien was paying attention she would feel the gem becoming warmer.
It began to rock to and fro in her palm, almost like an egg straining to hatch and three ribbons of shadow emerged from it, spiralling upwards and downwards in alternating ripples to form a small black figurine.
The small gem Eien had been holding had disappeared back into the figure as the shadows reformed and the featureless face looked up at the woman blinking as a ripple sped up her body from toe to head creating a soft white skin tone similar to Eien's, deep red curious eyes and long flowing silken red hair.
Now, sat in Eien's hand was a tiny naked child who to her probable surprise would weigh next to nothing. The child blinked up at her, her head cocked slightly to the side before shivering softly.
"Phwee...?"
Fuin had effectively been born again from the newly created shadow crystal. Her new body adapted and adjusted to the different energy signature of the shadow she had formed the crystal from.

The mute woman blinked in some what surprise, she had expected the sweet one to be reborn but so soon was a thing that actually surprised her. Yet she smiled a radiant smile down the child, before adjusting her slightly with her hand and held the tiny little one close the her warm sweet shirt and heart. Bringing her other sleeve to her mouth, Eien's tiny fangs are seen well she rips off a part of her sweatshirt sleeve revealing some of her silver tattooes. Taking that piece she gently wraps the tiny being's shivering body within the floods before gently embracing her with both hands.
Leaning down she let her lips grace very oh so gently the brow of the little shadow child's temple. Cooing silently to her well her eyes spoke of protective awe and mother attention.
=It is alright little one, I will watch over you.=
She starts to the edge of the encampment to get something to eat, but not sure what the child ate. Looking to her she wondered what she would do now, how long her growth stage was and what the images she saw were. So many questions, but it could wait. She had a little one to look out for and to think she gained another child in one day. Cocking her head as well, her silver eyes twinkled to her innocent ruby ones. ((Is outish for today Junni, have doctor's tests to do. ::glomps:: Ja ne.))

He looked at the man at the mention of his supposed power. He was nothing against any of the captains and vice-captains and was sure that he was not much to anyone else in the clan. But he could fight if need be.
"My power is nothing, though if you wish to see it I would not mind a spar at some point. For now, I will stand by in case we are summoned"
He said blandly. In a no nonsence tone.

Shin cocked his head.
"A spar? Perhaps later on... we may need to anyway. If and when this is done there will be some confusion. Everyone should wait until then to fight. But hey, what do I know?"
He stood up and moved to the opening into and out of the tent. He pushed it aside with ease before turning his head back to look at the man.
"I need to clear my head. If you'll exuse me Sir Tenma"
Shin turned to Tenma and bowed before turning around and exiting the tent.

Tenma simply sat there as shin left the tent. He sipped at the tea still. Nothing changed in how he stood or acted, he was simply there.
A few minutes later he walked out of the tent himself the cup set carefully on the table. He walked for a few minutes until he was in the forest deep enough he could be alone for awhile.
He sat up in one of the trees after a brief second of climping and set his sword just below him in easy reach. He slowly put his mask back on and closed his eyes, silent thoughts passing trhough his mind.

After some time of walking, Shin found himself at the entrace of the forest. He tended to take a long while in his walk whenever he was in thought. He stopped at the entrance and gazed forth into its welcomeing darkness. A sigh escaped his lips and he continued on, darkness consuming him.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. He thought of his past... the war, the killing, the bloodshed. Soon enough, his mind merged with the darkness of the forest. He reached a clearing in the forest by the water. Sitting down catiously by the side, Shin dipped his hand into the soothing water, staring at his reflection. The ripples in the water altered his appearance. It warped his display until Shin was unsure what he was staring at. Was it his reflection...or someone else.
He recoiled his hand to stop creating the ripples, waiting for the water to calm. This calamity did not last long, for when the image was displayed... it was not himself. Staring back at him odly enough was a man. The man gazed back with his same look but it was not Shin.
"Evening Shin..." The voice spoke. "You know who I am don't you.."
"Fang..." Was Shin's response.
"Yes. Well you see... I want out. You have enough power to release me and your not doing much."
"In due time Fang. Your quick to forget that I brought you into exsistance in the first place. I will release you when I wish."
"Heh... Your tempting me to break out by myself, but as you wish."
Shin looked away, breaking the conversation and eye connection. He stood up and walked back torwards the encampment. So, Fang... his other spirit wanted out. It was all interesting, but Shin woulden't release him quite yet.

It was true, Fuin could have stayed locked within the crystal for as long as she had wished but in her weakened state it wasn't really a safe place to be, not knowing who or what was around her. The rebirth did have some flaws in that she would have to learn everything all over again with her previous thoughts and memories, including those of Juunikyuu, Maximos, Tomorrow, Unsane and Terri. Everything would start a new.
The small child blinked up at Eien curiously as she looked around in slight bewilderment searching for where the voice came from before turning back to the woman who held her as she tore off the strip of cloth. Fuin caught sight of Eien's fangs and bared her own teeth, poking at her tw inscisors as they shone black and lengthened slightly, mimicking what she had seen in Eien.
As the cloth was wrapped around her small form she smiled, showing off her new fangs and nuzzled into the cloth with a yawn as she rubbed her eyes.

Regarding Fuin for a moment, Eien smiled again. Wondering a few new thoughts at the moment of this new cute little one. Wrapping the clothe and yet firmly around her and shifting Fuin so she as held at the top of her bosom. Something to cushion her and keep her warm, well Eien looked for food for them both. Fuin was a strange one.... no strange was not the right word it made her sound like an outcast, but she was not. She was unique, yes that is a perfect word that tells of her different nature. Just as Eien was, well regarding the large innocent ruby eyes of the child being.
She wondered how she could teach Fuin things or if her rebirth would grow within a few days as others she had seen before. Either way even if she could not talk she would be able to help her in anyway possible. Eh, she was a mother figure.
Seeing Dr. Layer coming through the crowds she holds up her free hand for a moment to wave him over to her. He nods and comes over asking gently, raising an eyebrow at the little child being in her hands. Yet says nothing, he had seen stranger within the fights of the stadium. Asking then "Something you need Ceres?"using the nickname that Arina had given her.
Eien nodded before rubbing her stomach in a motion that she was hungry and pointed to the little one. Noting then she needed to brush up on the modern form of sign language. The doctor nodded again, seeing the motion before replying again. "I'm on my way to get something anyway, why don't you go sit by a fire and warm up. You need to rest that babies of yours too and your new little friend. I'll get you both some broth and bread, maybe some warm milk for her. If she eats such a thing, but enough for something in her stomach. Sound alright?"
Eien nodded before wrapping her other hand loosenly of the girl, smiling her thanks before her and the doctor departed. Looking down she smiled at seeing the little shadow yawn, all cute and innocent like. Once she reached the outer measures of the camp, she joined a small group of woman by a fire and sat a safe distance from it. Letting the pleasent glow of flames warm them slightly. Looking down and watching over Fuin as she sleeps, and Eien's eyes twinkle like stars as Fuin snuggled within her hands.

Reaper hated to admit it but she believed she was lost. Standing there in the center of a rather small clearing in the thick brush of the forest. Barely any sun came in at all to lead her the way as she stood there nearly covered in shadows. Well...at least she would be able to use the shadows to advantage if she ran into any trouble. That is if she could get out of here before that ever happened.
A sigh escaped her pale lips her head hanging a bit. THen it lift back up her right eye taking in her surrounding area. There had to be a way out of this place. How embarssing...her first day ever here to this entire land area and already she was lose. Typical for a bloody sixteen year old to do..she came here because she wanted to raise her fighting skills up further.
If she wanted to find the people that murdered her family and people she needed to be ready for it. Perhaps...she would even acquire some new information while she was here training. But...something didn't seem right. Even from here there seemed to be an evil aura cage around these lands. Making her skin crawl every time she was reminded of it. Something was going on around here...and it wasn't good.

Curious...
Walking through the forest... this quiet forest seemed natural. But unatural was the contents within it. Standing before Shin was a woman who strangley enough appeared lost. Lost in the forest surrounding the stadium?
"Feh.."
His cloak moved behind him. The darkness of the forest blending with his attire. Silent as the forest he moved, up to her...well at least so she would notice.
"The forest is not somewhere to be lost." He said aloud to her.

The shadows started to whisper into her ears as she stood there in silence. Sometimes it was difficult for her to understand their words like it was at the present moment. But when she heard the sudden voice she immediately knew what they were talking about. Instinctively her hand went to the broadsword hanging from the belt around her waist. It came out with a metalic whisper and spun in her right hand a single rotation as she jumped back away from the voice. The sword held up along her head the curve of the blade reaching for the heavans. The top towards the man that had came out of the depths of the shadows and surrounding forest.
Reaper was kicking herself inside knowing that she either must've appeared as a threat or a mere idiot at the moment. Damn her and her instincts learned from all of her training. Well..there wasn't much she could do about it know. Might as well be in the present and see how he reacts and see what happens. Reaper stood her ground looking at him with her right lush green eye for the other was covered by the black bandanna. A pair of dragon gauntlets hanging from the belt as well as five daggers. Meaning that she must have more of those daggers hidden else where upon her.
"....Well I am..." Her voice low near that of a whisper.

A smile sprung accross the mans face, hidden in the shadows. His eyes narrowed as he glared at the reaction of the girl. A threat? No, she was no threat to him. At least not at his present assumption. So then what was it he wondered. Could this woman be afraid? He decided to engage her and see.
A slight chuckle escaped his lips as his eyes flashed a dull, dark red. He had not been known for his secret art of shadow drifting for nothing. His laughter continued as his body began to sway. Left and right, almost fluidly it seemed...blurring with the shadows. At the last moment, his eyes flared and then dissappeared, leaving no sound...no trace.
Wind rushed through the tree's... giving an ominous presence to the whole scenario. The darkness was almost overwhelming, yet there was no trace of the man. A blur, a slight blur only could be seen, materializing behind her with all the fluidity that had been displayed before. Shin appeared from the shadows behind her, his cape swaying with the momentum of re-entry to the world. His face was close to her ear. He whispered softly, almost seductivly in it.
"You take me for a fool... If I meant harm, I would have already done it."
The voice was meant to send shivers up her spine. Not the kind of shivers accompinied with fear, but the kind of shivers one gets from a...pleasurable, seductive whisper. The man recoiled himself and stood behind her to wait on her reaction.

Reaper's hand twitched as the man started to chuckle at her. Her eye narrowed towards the direction the voice came from seeing the shadows being drawn towards him like bee's would to honey. The shadows really started to speak to her now as she stood there. Watching as the man started to sway from side to side like the ocean waves upon the big blue seas.
Then as if he was nothing but an illusion he vanished from her sight. It was obvious her single eyesight wasn't going to be of any use. But she stayed on her guard. Not moving from her current position closing her eye slowly. Letting her other four senses take over and adventure the world around her.
There was no smell from the man at all, no silent breathing that would've been coming from him...nothing. Only the way the leaves wrestled upon the branches as the genly breeze blew through the tree tops around her. Which wasn't helping her much at all it was as if he was no longer here in this forest nor this world for that matter of fact.
Her eye opened widen in shock suddenly hearing that voice of his whispering seductively into her ear. Sending a good solid shiver up along her spin. One she hadn't felt for years. No...it wasn't she took him as a fool. That would be the last thing she would think upon entering such a new place. All the scenories going through her mind. She could've spun around and strike him with the sword. But, no, that wouldn't work. He would most likely disappear or block it with his own weapon and hit her in the stomach or fling her legs out from beneath her.
Her eye went down to her gauntlets. Those wouldn't be a good idea either. He would most likely hit her in the spine or the back of the head before she even reached them. Her best chance and choice was the one she didn't really want to take. But it was better then to get bruised or even killed. Slowly she started to lower her sword till the tip of the sword was pressed lightly against the ground. Her head turning just enough for her right eye to catch a mere part of him behind her.
"...I didn't say I took you as one.."

He shrugged, Lifting his hands upward and out.
"Never said you did. But from your actions it was only assumed."
He glanced at her positioning of her sword and smiled. He moved his left hand backwards and gripped the hilt of his sword.
"My sword is not a large one. It may not be able to stand against yours...but its really how you use it isn't it."
He smiled and cocked his head.
"Do you quarrel?"
