Welcome to Gaia! ::

((A man named Tadaaki? Tadaaki's a criminal gonk ))

Neji lifted his eyebrow. "With background information like that, it's safe to assume he's a high rated criminal," He turned around and headed for the door, thinking of how he can beat him. He sounded really tough but if beat him than he would have Carri back. "Thank you for the information," He said before turning into a blur of mist and dissapearing.

Neji ended up outside again. He skipped from house to house with the cold air slapping him across the face. He kept on going, deep in thought about tommorow. He wasn't intimidated at all but he was wondering if he could pull off a win. He looked up suddenly, noticing his house in the distance. He kept on going until he reached it, than opened the door. "Tadaaki?"

Neji smiled confidently and gave him the thumbs up with one hand. "That's not gonna stop me. If you really saw everything than you would know what's on the line, and that's why I'm not going to quit," He said. Neji walked over to the sink and turned on the water into a kettle. When it was almost full he put it on the stove and turned it on. He leaned against the counter beside the stove, looking at Tadaaki seriously.

"I talked to Hokage-Same earlier. She told me he's pretty dangerous and likes to kill foes as gruesomly as possible. Even if I wasn't fighting to get Carri back I would still take him on. Someone dangerous like that shouldn't be lingering around," He took the kettle off the stove after a bit and poured it into a cup with a teabag in it. "You want some?" He asked casually.

Neji didn't look grim when Tadaaki mentioned Orochimaru to him. "Yeah, but Orochimaru would use up his victim first. Either that or mess with them," Neji bent over Tadaaki's cup and poured in the hot tea. "You can come watch but do it from a distance. Use you blood line limit or he'll panic about me bringing company," He put his lips to the tea and realized just how hot the tea was.

(((You wanna pack it in? I feel like fighting.)))

Neji laughed and finished the rest of his tea some time later. He placed the cup in the sink, knowing the dishes along with many other things would pile up again. He had last cleaned the house before he left on the journey and he remembered just how dirty it was. He shuddered and moved to his mat, covering himself with a blanket. The lights were still on but he went to sleep anyways. He had taught himself to sleep under rough conditions over the years.

((Cockrooch-man! It's Occhimaru's nickname!))

Even before sunrise, Daki was waiting for Neji. And he wasn't alone, Carri and the rest of the assasins at the bar were there, ready to watch the fight. Carri didn't look to happy though. She was still peeved that Neji would treat her like an item to be won. He didn't even bother trying to find her after she had first left, and she had spent the last 5 years building up a life, a home, and a reputation and he chooses now to show up and try to ruin it all? Of course she was angry.

((brb, sorry))

Tadaaki was already at the battleground and was hiding in a tree, his claw gripping the trunk of the tree as he said in a very hushed voice, "Makogan..." His third eye opened and in moments he was able to see through Carri's eyes and hear what she was hearing as well as his own.
