Sitting in the silent forest under a large waterfall the spray barely able to touch his face. Slowly he stood and looked in the strange magic he could feel. It felt like another earth user and that made him interested. He slowly stood, his face was much more mature compared to years ago, he lifted his hand above his head and it seemed to make the trees in the forest echo to his call, the wind even began to pick up. He listened for a moment and then vanished he had been gone from his families home for a year now and often felt different powers growing around the world. He could be sure that it had to do with his baby sister. Appearing behind a tree he didn't bother looking at the woman on the other side it was his mother he could feel her training.
Listening to her breath he could tell she was out of shape and he smirked a bit about it. Standing there his eyes drifted towards the ground as he thought about all the time with his sister Rikyo. She was always trying to draw their fathers attention towards her, just trying to be approved by him. Though Hokuri even though back then was such a foolish child still understood. He after all knew about how Hokyo had fought in the great wars and such, he wanted his children to have a normal life and in the same thoughts kept his eyes closed about his daughter. Though he knew Hokyo loved Rikyo more then him and Amico. It was his only baby girl and Hokuri and Amico had never minded that much, they knew that their father was a great man which could do about anything. Though at the same time he knew that Hokyo had finally agreed to give Rikyo her war, and Singo's aura was no where to be found. If anything Singo was one of the few people that could talk to Hokyo and calm him down, but he guessed what had happened was the worst. His mind drifted towards his older brother Amico, if anyone stood a good chance against more then one powerful enemy it was Amico, Hokyo was the strongest being on this planet, but Amico was no where near weak.
He finally turned from behind the tree placing one hand up on it and rested towards the side, his hair had grown longer since the last time and his red shirt seemed to match perfectly for someone that was raised in a city. Shoving his other hand into his pocket he looked at his mother and smiled as he said "You know, I would think you and dad were getting to old for fighting for the world" he smirked taking a step forward. This was the second son of Hokyo, Hokuri. If anyone could match their father with sure will power and courage it was Hokuri.

Yune hadn’t been paying attention. So when she’d heard a voice she’d turned around and in a swift motion brought her bow around, pulled back and arrow and fired into the tree beside Hokuri’s head. She blinked for a few moments and frowned “Hokuri!” she looked at herself and shook her head. The earth behind her crumbled into piles of rock and she returned her bow to her back “don’t sneak up on me like that. I could have hurt you…” she was not only out of shape but she lacked a lot of sleep. She walked to her son and retrieved her arrow from he tree. Then she dropped it back with the rest of them. She smiled a little
“I never have been good at paying attention to other things when I ‘nm training..” she sighed and shook her head ignoring the old statement completely. She turned her head and slid her bow back onto her back. She looked at the mess she’d made and shook her head. She’d have to replant the trees when he was done “I’m just out of practice is all…. You’d think chasing you boys around would keep me in shape” she laughed nervously and looked away “I felt it earlier” she said in a quiet voice. Her smile left and she just couldn’t put up her mask anymore “Rikyo’s declared war and your father answered… if I know anything about her… she will pick us off till only your father is left… using whatever means necessary.” She rubbed her arm and looked up at her son “and I think I’ll be first on her death list.”
She ran her hand over her hair and smoothes it down “Hokuri… I don’t know what to do anymore… I don’t think I can…. Fight her… but if someone doesn’t your father, you or Amico will and one of you will end up dieing.” She felt ready to break down and Yune didn’t do this very often. “I don’t want to see any of you hurt…”

Nahnee felt her eyes grow wide as he grabbed hold of her arm. She felt her heart stop, and closed her eyes tightly, pulling her arm away from him.
"Get off of me!" She shouted, and successfully pulled her arm away from him. She turned toward him, and out of pure fear, she grabbed hold of his arm, and twisted it around, her back facing him. She pulled him over her back, and flung him straight into the ground in front of her. Even though the man was down, she felt a need to run. Run as fast as she could. Something she had not been able to do when she was young.
And so, with that, she turned around, and ran as fast as she could in the opposite direction. "I'm sorry!"
Kira was handed her flask back, and she smiled at it, putting it back into her bag. She rose her arm, still leaning her back against the counter. She smiled at the bar tender confidently, and motioned him over.
"Get me the best food you've got, and something to drink with it. I'm starving," She said, tossing him a few coins.

Hokuri smirked almost the same smile as Hokyo often did he walked over the destroyed part of the woods that his mother had made short work of, bending down to it. He placed his hand on the ground and in a moment grass and small trees began to form. He glanced back at her over his should and put his thumb up and said "Thats not the point of the fight" he had grown so much like the old Hokyo that it would have scared most people and though he didn't share any look besides the hair, he still gave that aura around him. Looking at a small flower that had grown within in the grass he put his hand towards it and said "We are people that were forced to fight and because of that we will always face those that don't understand, none of us fear death I'm sure even father would welcome that kind of peace" he wasn't trying to make her upset with that statement, but he was one to speak his mind and didn't care as long as it was the right thing.
Standing slowly he turned to face his mother again and said "This was the curse with being born as a Cumen, and we all agree on that even Rikyo fights for her own reasons even if they are selfish" he smirked a bit his hand raising to his head to push some of the longer hair back. He point his finger towards the flower and said "Its like dad would tell me and Rikyo when we were younger 'a rose may only bloom for a short time, but it goes on living forever in the people that see it' its the same with these people on this planet, they may die quickly in our heads but we still remember those that stood their good, those that fought" he smiled fully now and put his hands behind his head and sighed and said "I'm sure you understand better then most of us, it won't matter who fights Rikyo in the end, but it will matter on how it is done" he knew that was the truth unlike his father he was no greater hope for people he was much like Amico he would kill those that stood in his way to make way for a better future and that made him a danger to enemies.

Yune smiled a bit and shook her head. The two were so alike it almost frightened her. “I know… I know.. don’t go giving me lectures… you’re father does it all the time. But still, if she comes after me first I’m going to be ready, it’s when it comes down to the finial blow that I don’t know how I’ll act.” She let out a sighed and sat on the ground. She poked her sword for a long time “but… if lives are to be saved… she has to be stopped that’s the one thing I’m sure about” she yawned and glanced to her son “hey do you know where your father went anyway? I haven’t seen him and he just left without a word this morning.”
She stretched out her legs and then the rest of her body as she got ready for another round she had to train. She was way to out of shape and she needed to be a bit stronger if she was going to help it all in this war.

Hokuri once more put his thumb up as a joke and looked around feeling for any possible aura's though his father was strong it was almost impossible to know where he would be. Thinking for a moment he smirked and said "He's most likely at Dakamon, I'm pretty sure that Singo is no longer among us so he most likely buried him like all the others up there, he most likely let out his little minions to train for a moment" he laughed and put his hand on his chest and said "Well we would be better off as a team then to take Rikyo or anyone else on our own, even I have been feeling strong aura's close to dad's collecting around the world" he laughed there was only one true reason his father was considered the strongest of all he never gave up which made him almost like a god, even after being beat he got up, after having every bone crushed he got up. No matter what he say his father rise to keep fighting to protect, that the father Rikyo never knew. He took a seat on the ground where the new growth was growing and smiled at his mother and said "I'm pretty sure Amico is still living alone, but I did hear he has a girl come over every now and then" he laughed knowing that Amico may in fact have fallen in love with someone.

“oh a girl?” Yune’s eyes lit up like lights on a tree. Everyone knows that mom’s love to meddle when it comes to their boys and girls. “you know I’m going to have to pay him a visit. I haven’t seen him in a while.” She smiled a bit. She was using the same old powers to train but that’s because when people showed up, like Hokuri for instance, she didn’t’ want to show off her new tricks, no she’d need them as an ace in the hole. She let out a small breath of air “Hokuri fight me?” she asked softly with a smile. She’d never really sparred with her son and she knew he was strong. “nothing serious just a little spar, I want to see how much you’ve grown.” She smiled at the thought of her family but if she looked at every picture in their house… well everyone with them as a family everyone is smiling and looking at the camera.. except Rikyo. Rikyo would either be glancing up at Hokyo or glaring at the ground. She was never happy in those pictures. And This made Yune worry a bit. She would make sure that none of her other children would share the same fate that her daughter did.

Hokuri glanced up at his mother for a moment and put his hands up as like he couldn't refuse the request. Standing again he let his right palm open where the light around them seemed to dime for a moment and a long slender weapon of light appeared in his hand. He had both Yune's powers and his fathers which made him somewhat a ill manner child to have both of those tempers and powers. Looking at her for a moment he smirked and said "Yes a girl that has a little girl of her own, Amico saved her when he was coming home from work one day, the little girl was going to get hit by a car" he smirked remembering some of the pictures he had around his place, in all of them everyone was happy and his father was always touching everyone, but even back then he could see Rikyo's hatred. He looked away from his mother for a moment and then said "I fear we created our own monster" he then looked at her and smirked again almost like his father the moments of sadness never lasted. Turning the his hand so he held tightly the new weapon he waited for his mother to at least stand.

Yune stood and nodded “yes.. she only wanted attention and instead she just got pushed away. It’s our own fault in the long run.” She drew her sword and let her quiver of arrows and bow drop to the ground along with the sword’s sheath “Don’t take it easy on me now, I’m old but I still have my girlish good looks” she said smiling brightly. She took up stance and looked at him. She couldn’t remember ever sparing with any of her children, or even Hokyo for that matter. It felt good to be back in the familiar stances and holding the weapon. She had been missing something in her life and here it was right in her hand. “I think I should stop by and say hello to Amico… give him best wishes with this woman.. she sounds nice” She took a slow breath “okay here goes” she called out as a start of the fight. She dove right in with her speed, knowing fully well that Hokuri was no push over.

Hokuri smirked as he watched his mother and drove forward along with her, his right hand swung fully once if only to cause a distraction while he dropped to one knee and slide right under any attack from a sword, before she would most likely realize it. He curled his left hand up into a ball and slammed it down onto the ground beside her feet, and slide straight out. Glancing over his shoulder he never fought with his mother and that left lots of room for improvement, well that and most likely how powerful she really was. He smirked a bit seeing as the ground began to crack around her, watching as the ground in that area tore itself out of the ground and made a giant hole for her to fall into. He spoke only over the noise of the crashing since he couldn't see with the large amount of dirt in the air "That isn't very nice you are going to question her like you do all of mine" he laughed knowing the truth of when he went to school.

Yune has seen this coming. Well not in exact words but she had expected something like it. But it seemed he had already forgotten that she two had powers of earth. The ground beneath her went out but she gathered some rock and dirt and formed a small platform for her to stand upon while the dust was blocking Hokuri’s vision. He would think she fell but she was quite smart. She lifted her hand and a spiral of fire ran from her shoulder down “I’m going to question her all right and of course ask Amico his plans. With a child one has to be careful about what actions they take.” She smiled as her body crumbled into dirt and got whisked away to the sold ground behind Hokuri where she reformed. She patted him on the shoulder “you have to think of something better than that” she said softly as she set the ground around him ablaze, the flames turning from a brilliant red to a hot hot blue.

Nahnee stared at him, before she turned around slowly to look at where she had thrown the man. Had she really killed him, or was he just exaggerating? She turned back to him, and shook her head violently, stepping away, trying to shake off his hands as she closed her eyes tightly.
"I-I didn't really... k-kill him, did I?" She asked as she looked up at him again pleadingly. Her heart was racing a mile a minue, and she could actually hear it, this time. If she'd really killed him, she needed to get away.
Kira had finally finished her meal, and was now exiting the tavern. She smiled, and sighed happily. Now that her stomach was full, she could go on and find somewhere to rest for the night. Suddenly, she heard a commotion a little ways away. She turned to see a crowd of people surrounding something. Curiousity caught hold of her, as it always did, and she walked over to see what had happened.
There lay a man on the ground, unmoving, and seemingly not breathing.

William sighed in deeply as Rikyo asked him to lead the way, he nodded coolly and then turned to the door out of the kitchen, William grabbed her hand and began to turn out of the kitchen closing his eyes and following a mixture of a lifetime of instinct and his new knowledge of 'aura.' As he made the turns William felt each of the three individual buzzing sensations grow closer, but one was stronger than the others, he assumed that this meant that this one was closer, though he couldn't be sure. "How am I doing?" William asked as his mind drifted around this new idea of aura.

The ice master's crystal blue foot hit the grassy ground lightly before lifting up again, then the other, and then the other. Each foot once lifted left a patch of frozen grass, Hojo had continued running through the night and into the next day. He had perfect endurance since he himself could no longer feel pain or exhaustion, and Hojo knew that his main priority for the time being was to find Hokyo and make sure that he understood the extremities of what was about to happen on this planet, and then, with any luck, get him to help investigate it further. Though Hojo had lost his vision years ago his wisdom had grown from it and his Sight had never been keener, and he saw things that nobody else could due to his dependence on aura for guidance.
