Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ok then, to Samson-kun then!" Shisui bounded off towards the muscle bound teacher like a young colt out and about on it's own for the first time. The gaggle of beautiful Kunoichi Samson had been entrancing with his near hypnotic harp playing dispersed as Shisui acted as a very large stone in Samson's lake of tranquility. "Samson-kun! Samson-kun I'm back!" he leaped at him giving him a big very unmanly hug. "Ahhhh... yes... and who might you be again little Kunoichi?" Shisui just laughed disengaging himself from the brawny man. "I'm no Kunoichi Sampson-kun! You know that!" Shisui gave his a hearty slap on that back that almost sent him sprawling as he brushed a strand of blond hair out of his face at the same time. It was true, Shisui was at best a very effeminate young man, he was one of those strange few that many often confused their gender. His slight willowy frame and long golden hair had confused quite a few hopeful shinobi lads. "OHh... yes, I remember now, So have you been practicing as I instructed?" Samson had no idea who the blond Uchiha was as he had only known him as the bright and cheerful Mizu boy who he bore no semblance to anymore. It was ok, Samson memory wasn't all that great to begin with so pretending he knew just who he was talking to was not a problem. "Why of course I have Samson-kun! See!" Shisui smiled his voice light and airy as he produced the same small harp as before from the inside of his sleeve and began to play a soft melody that made ones soul tingle just a little bit. He soon drew a small crowd who listened enraptured by his unique style of playing which differed from the normal soft and melodious notes often found in the village. As his song ended to villagers dispersed returning to their previous tasks. "Twas, beautiful my young student, absolutely amazing, I'm not sure if theres really allot more I can teach you, but I see you've brought a friend along. Is he interested in learning?" Shisui nodded enthusiastically. "that's the whole point in why we came to see you Kyoshou-kun wants to learn as well." Samson directed the next statement to Kyoshou. "So do you think your up to it? It's not nearly as easy as my young friend here makes it seem." Samson was holding out another medium sized harp towards Kyoshou, while Shisui was giving him a conspiritorial wink seeming to indicate that Kyoshou would have no problems at all learning the stringed instrument. "While I give him some preliminary lessons why don't you practice a few songs my young apprentice." Shisui nodded diving into a pile of scroll that lay near where Samson had been playing before and emerged with three advanced songs. "I think I'll go with these they seem interestin." Samson turned his attention back to Kyoshou as Shisui began to practice the first song.
(103/205 lines)

For the time being, he would just play songs he had learned on other instruments, corresponding the notes in his memory to the notes that radiated from the strings. By now Kyoshou had felt he had over all mastered the small string instrument. He only wished he could remember the melody he had heard in his dream. He vaguely remember a sort of phantom standing behind the bird-like girl.

[6/10]

The phantom seemed to be a a fish-like woman with a large tail trailing off her head like hair. She wore very elegant garments and she too was playing a harp. The image of three golden triangles in a pyramid appeared in Kyoshou's head though he knew not of the meaning. The notes of the mysterious melody suddenly came to him as if someone was playing the harp for him.

[7/10]

Kyoshou suddenly felt proud of himself for remembering but he was still puzzled as to how he was able to play the song. He looked up at the cloudy blue sky as a cool breeze flowed through his silvery hair. He then looked over to the large pile of rustling music sheets. Kyoshou smiled as he said "Oi, Shisui-san. Would you mind if I go grab a bite to eat? Some ramen sounds really nice about now"

[8/10]

Kyoshou paused for a minute waiting for Shisui to reply. It seems he would never arise for the pile of song sheets. Kyoshou rolled his eyes and groaned. He began walking away back into the forest feeling quite grumpy. Samson simply watched Kyoshou walking away feeling a bit confused with the whole situation. Kyoshou continued to grumble as he walked back through the forest of many nations.

[2/6]

The more Kyoshou walked the more he began to realize that he had hardly any actual medical jutsus. Kyoshou began whispering to himself as he said "I really need to step up my game if I'm ever going to become a medical ninja that's going to be taken seriously. And with the Chuunin exams getting so close, I need to be prepared. Shisui really made them sound scary. I hope I'll do good"

[3/6]

He continued walking not sure where exactly he was going. He knew he was still in the Village Hidden in the Soul but he wasn't sure how close he was to the outskirts or to another Hidden village. He wondered how long it would take for Shisui to notice that Kyoshou was gone. He really wished that Shisui would help him prepare for the Chuunin exams, but it couldn't be helped.

[4/6]

Kyoshou suddenly began to hear a faint rustling. After a while the sound grew quite annoying. Finnally Kyoshou shouted "What is that annoying sound!" Suddenly he realized it was coming from his back pocked. It was a rolled up piece of paper. Kyoshou took out the brown, worn piece of paper and unrolled it. It was a music sheet with the title 'Melody #1' Kyoushou was completely confused.

[5/6]

He began looking over the notes analyzing their complexity. It was a relatively simple melody. Kyoshou realized that Samson must have slipped it into his pocked just before he left. Kyoshou smiled at this kind gesture. He then noticed a small scribble at the bottom of the page. In a sloppy print it read 'This melody will heal you when you are in need' Kyoshou smiled to himself.

Hidden Substance

Kyoshou rolled up the scroll and tucked it back into his hoodie. "I was wondering if you were ever going to come out of that pile. I went to have lunch and you still weren't done" Kyoshou said with a smile looking up at the upside down Leaf ninja. Kyoshou ran his hands through his silvery hair with a yawn. His tongue smacked the top of his mouth a few times before answering Shisui's question .He then said "Oh. My plans? Well lets see. I hear that there's a village that can teach me how to make my body immune from diseases.

[1/?]

I don't have too many details about it but it is definitely something I want to investigate. A good medic nin should have a strong immune system. Another thing on my list of things to do is to go to this Hidden Craftsman village. I don't know much about it but I hear they've got an indestructible armor! On top of that it can drain chakra for anything around it. I want to take a look at that. It definitely sounds like a usefull too. Ummm yup thats pretty much everything on my list of things to do. I want to be ready for the Chuunin exams ya know.

[2/?]

While you were in that pile of scrolls I wanted to have a little match with you. Maby it could help me prepare for the exams. Especially since your going to be one of the hosts." Without realizing he had done so, he had crossed the border of Hidden Soul to Hidden Subsance. The village that Kyoshou had been wanting to visit to build up his disease fighting defenses. This would definitely be a good start if he ever wanted to be a medic ninja. He wanted to do his best to help others with his ability to heal. He wanted to rival the Princess Tsunade.

[3/?]

Kyoshou was a bit dumbstruck for a second. "Wait...your a medic ninja? Well thats news to me. It seems your living out my dream. This should definitely be interesting." Kyoshou said with a smirk. He then noticed Shisui's eyes turn a crimson red as three tiny black dots appeared in them. He then added "I guess genjutsu is pretty much useless against you." Although he said this, he still wanted to test the limits of the Sharingan's genjutsu resistance. Kyoshou's melody arm gave of the 'do' tune from underneath, his massive sleeves. He made a string of handsigns and flickered behind Shisui. He wondered how easy it was for him to predict his movements. He the proceeded to playfully poke Shisui in the back of the head with the blunt end of a kunai.

[4/?]

As Kyoshou poked Shisui with the handle of the kunai, a breeze swept through the forest. Kyoshou became incredibly drowsy as he dropped the kunai causing it to land with the blade pitching it in the ground. Kyoshou tried his best to perform the genjutsu release but his efforts were in vain. Shisui had already performed the fear me techique keeping Kyoshou anchored in the genjutsu. He swayed back and fourth for a moment before collapsing onto the floor fast asleep. Although Kyoshou seemed to be good at performing genjutsu, his resistance against them was awful.

[5/?]

As Kyoshou slept peacefully, he felt the cold ink brush his face. He stirred slightly but did not wake. A cool breeze swept over him causing him to wake. He slowly opened his eyes to see Shisui staring straight at him, while pinning him to the ground. Kyoshou tilted his head slightly causing his silvery hair to part to the left a bit as he listened to Shisui. He couldn't help but giggle in a 'I know something you don't know manner' He was completely unaware of Shisui's comic illustration scribbled all over Kyoshou's face.

[6/?]

He then responded by saying "Neither. I'm waiting to see how long my disease will take to effect you. I needed to put those pesky eyes out of commission for a while. For someone who watches my every detail, your not very attentive. When I poked you with that kunai handle, I infected you with the Art of Affliction giving you highly concentrated dose of Conjunctivitis. Otherwise known as Pink Eye. Any minute now your eyes will turn re- well they're already red but they'll itch so bad you'll be desperate to rub them.

[7/?]

They'll also get really watery blurring your vision. Oh and because I gave you such a highly concentrated dose, your eyes are more prone to matting meaning your eyelids sticking together due to accelerated eye crust formation and you have to blink eventually, even more so with that terrible itch." Kyoshou began to laugh uncontrollably wondering how his comrade would deal with this new information. He wondered if he should have infected him with a more comical disease. Kyoshou then played the 're' tune on his melody arm as he waited for Shisui's reaction.

[8/?]

Kyoshou rolled on the floor laughing as Shisui ran about like a mad man. There was a flash of light and Kyoshou's smile suddenly vanished from his face. He wasn't sure what had just happened until he looked more carefully at Shisui. Electricity ran through his arm as a sword made of that same electricity materialized in his hand. Kyoshou's emotions shifted from pure bliss to petrifying fear. He quickly flickered behind a tree but this was in vain. If Shisui was really out for blood, he would have no trouble finding him with his Sharingan. Kyoshou debated with himself as whether to play the final note on his melody arm.
