Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sakura looked towards Yaruna. Who should have the first move? asked Sakura as she was scared she would fail right infront of her own teacher.

Heikaze looked into her eyes once she was done eating. "So... is everything okay? Earlier, you seemd to be a bit... out of it." Heikaze said thinking back to earlier.

Lita watched the village from the woods for a few days. Getting the feeling of how things might have changed while the genin had been gone the last year. It did seem peaceful from the outside. "Things never change here that much." her thoughts while chewing a twig. The Nara girl yawned, shifting the sword on the her back not to dig in. Part of her had to be ready to move if any of the ninja's came this way just yet. Even with the leaf brand tired to her upper left arm, she had no idea her standing with the village. "I might be labeled a missing nin for all I know..."

The idea twisted her gut into cords at the idea of being forced to run for her life by her home. Shaking to clear the dark thoughts hitting her mind, Lita hugged a leg to her chest, placing her chin on it.

"You never have to do it..." Heikaze said softly as looked at her. Turning his body he hugged Machi and pulled her tightly into his chest. "If we defeat the other members of Akatsuki, I don't think your father would be a problem any longer... It's up to you."

((Note: NONE OF YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING! The bringer of darkness makes it so anyone within the area of the Ramen shop can't see UNLESS they have Sharingan or Byakugan. Even then I don't know how the Kioshi's bloodline would affect that, that's something I'm asking you Ryo.
Also, everyone has a fantasm to them, trying to lead the genin and chuunin away from the shop, while the akatsuki's are trying to keep them there. Again only sharingan and Byakugan can see through it. Now back to the story at hand))

Gurenke cursed as the fog was dispersed by the foolish young ninja's wind jutsu. He was hoping that it would have worked longer than this so he at least had a bit of an advantage.

He heard a small rustle behind him, like cloth. He had little time to react but used it wisely. Sho's last mistake he made was getting close to him. He quickly made a few handsigns. "Kawarimi no Justu", using what was left of some of his stored up chakra he switched himself with sho and quickly moved back from the gas. It was then he realized that his leg was getting wet, he knew what some ninja could use with little water and began to work. He didn't know how the senbon worked or what poison was coating them but he knew there was a trick. He only hoped that he would be able to get somethings off before Sho could react. He began by pulling out a kunai and cut the ont leg off of his pants. After that he returned to the task at hand.

He began again to conjure a genjutsu, since he couldn't see his first kekki genkei wouldn't be too useful, but the next one would. He made a few quick handsigns including one of his own design (left hand palm down over right hand palm up, middle fingers pointing up (right) and down (left))
In the darkness of Sho's vision Gurenk appeared in front of him, and behind him and then all around him. There was only one way through the ring directly in front of him, right into the whole at the top of the ramen shop. Thinking quickly he threw the wet pant leg towards the hole as well, hoping he would chase after it.

Raven and Shadar gripped each others hands. The third eye was going insane from where they were. Passed out in the Ramen Shop was not the place to be.
"I'm sorry raven." Shadar thought. He closed his eyes and let his mind drift. The cursemarks own sealing had prevented the demon's love for blood. Shadar closed the outside world from his mind.

"Demon of the Blood. Now is your time. Protect my sister and this village and i shall let you free." Shadar yelled into the makings of a caged seal. It was twilight in the seal. Morning nor Night had come into flourishen. The moon and Sun cast their rays upon the earth's fake ground.

"And who says that i shall do what you say when i am free." The demon spoke. His voice was evilish, Dark and forbodding. His appearance was something like what Itachi was in the neither world.

"I have the third eye out so my chakra is still connected to the pyshical world. I can take over in an instant if you try to hurt her or any one else. Just Itachi and the other man. Kisume i believe but you are to protect raven." Shadar said. In his hand was a peice of paper. His name was on it and written in blood. In the right hand was a glowling gold key.
"DO we have a deal?"
"Yes " The demon said. He walked over to shadar, standing next to the gate. Shadar put the key in the lock and the paper though the bar. The demon of blood grabbed the paper and placed his hand on the paper. It was a normal hand print. The paper was slipped back over and shada inspected it. His answer was the key turning and unlocking the cell. The lock vanished and both switched.

The Icy grip was gone. Shadar or the demon let go of raven's hand. He stood up in the shadows of the Genjutsu. He picked up raven and listened to the fighting around him. Since this person was a demon the eye on shadar's forehead had no affect in sensing the opponents chakra. He walked slowly out of the Ramen shop. He walked out of the range of the genjutsu and set raven down in the shade of a willow tree. Her head was resting on her right shoulder. She slept or was in an uncoincess state. A tiger hand sign and the voice in shadar's mind had escaped from his lips. "Beast Mimicry." The blood Demon said. Shadar bent over slowly. His spine arranged for the better speed and better attack. Shadar's hands became claws and his eyes turned red with lust. The third eye remained normal but still looked as gruesome as ever. "Time to follow the deal." He muttered. He jumped onto the top of a building and found Sho and other shinobe. "Where is Itachi" The demon growled.
