Masato would feel relief as his brother in arms would return to normal. His crimson eyes softened as he gave a half smile. Masato would almost believe that the boy had made up his troubles. That would be, until the fire nation attacked! A blazing emblem on the boy would suddenly wrap around his neck. The fierce and desperate cry of pain would shock Masato, the sudden change from Taylor's psyche was so quick. His Mangekyo would begin to spin, picking up the chakra signature being given off by Taylor's curse mark. "N...Nature Chakra?" He said, astonished that he recognized the signature. It was similar to Nariomi's nature chakra, yet perverted somehow.
Masato was desperate to save his friend. His brother. He would close his eyes, not knowing how to save Taylor exactly. All the medical training he had undergone in order to join VORTEX had not saved him at all in this situation. It was completely foreign to him. His eyes closed as he became more desperate. Power pulsated beneath his eyelids as he opened his blood red gaze and fixed it upon Taylor. An unseen pulse of chakra would meet the Chakra being exerted by Taylor's curse mark that was causing his pain. The two energies collided, silently removing the foreign chakra from Taylor's body. The boy's skin would return to normal almost instantly, however, his eyes had turned a dark red color once more. Taylor would most likely collapse, Masato would step forward, setting the young man down to the ground gently, laying his hand on his arm. " Blondie, what the hell?"

Taylor could not hear Masato from the outside. Within his mind the boy was bound by dozens of chains which extended his limbs in parting directions. He struggled against the force which held him as a body of smoke formed in front of him. The formless clouds took a more human shape as pink eyes glared with lust upon him. They stared deeply into Taylor as the boy struggled relentlessly against the will of his oppressor. (Stage One training: 3/7)
An echo of laughter erupted from the smoke as it viewed Taylor's struggles. "Try as you might, Taylor Childe. Your body is my vessel and your mind is my captive subject." The cloud of smoke's hand pressed his hand onto Taylor's right upper torso. The sensation felt like a hot iron as the boy screamed in agony. The cloud laughed again at the pain the boy endured. (Stage One training: 4/7)
"Your bird may have killed me in my last life. But make no mistake, your body will be more than an adequate substitute for the next one." The body of smoke longingly stroked the chains which bound Taylor. "Marvelous, aren't they?" The smoke whispered seductively. "They're made out of nature chakra. Ironically enough I was a sage of birds before, well, you know." The smoke looked at Taylor. He still saw the boy struggling valiently. (Stage One 5/7)
"Why do you still resist?" The smoke asked. Taylor looked the creature dead in the eyes and snarled. "This isn't the first time I've been bound and made a slave." His eyes were wild. "If you think I'm going to become your bloody puppet then you have another thing coming." Taylor's body started to twitch in the real world. His fingers danced wildly near the chain which was on the ground. "You do not know how I have suffered to get here. You do not realize the evils I have endured and overcome. And most importantly..." Taylor saw Masato's chakra enter him. The smoke looked back as Taylor smiled.
"You do not know what kind of friends I have to save me." (Stage One 6/7)
More laughter erupted from the smoke. The chains shined a green energy and shook wildly. "Nature chakra cannot be broken with simple ninjutsu. Your friend is a fool." The smoke's laughter was then joined by Taylor's. This caused the smoke to cease his laughter. "Why are you laughing?" The entity asked. "Because for some master evil genius, you are really dumb. Masato isn't trying to stop your nature chakra." In real life his body managed to grab his chain scythe. The boy then molded handseals through his chain. "He was trying to stop this." Taylor then activated the kai technique. The influx of chakra collided with the chakra Masato inserted into his body. This caused the two chakras to merge together through their korabo power as they spiraled around and caught the entire area Taylor and the smoke were caught into to break into a twister. The chains which bound Taylor broke away as the smoke disbursed into the twister. Eventually Taylor was sucked in, and then everything went black. (Stage One: 7/7)
Taylor''s body fell limb on the ground. The tattoo that constricted him now returned to its based form. Taylor's eyes, still blue, looked longingly at Masato. "Ma..." His hand reached up to touch his brother's face. "Sa...." His eyes started to change. His hand fell as his eyes became completely pink. A single tear fell from his eye as he looked up at the strange black haired man. "Who... who are you again?" Taylor felt sad. He wasn't sure why he felt this way. He was so confused about where he was. All he knew was that he was sad. What happened?

Mayume did not run particularly fast towards the dojo, wanting to give the other students a chance to catch up with her headstart. About midway there, she looked behind her to see if she recognized anyone. Sadly, there was no one. The girl's spirits sank a little at that, deciding to keep going, but occasionally throwing glances over her shoulder anyway. It got tedious after a while, and the girl wondered if there was a way to somehow create a makeshift mirror. Maybe like how lake water could be a mirror if it there was no wind. Actually, she could try to do that. However, there was no water around her, so maybe she could somehow create it?
Mayume mulled over this for a while as she continued to jog towards the dojo. She passed by some workers complaining about the heat, and Mayume would have ignored them if they hadn't thrown water over their faces to cool them down. Of course! The girl smiled as she realized that she already had water, right inside her! She wasn't one to sweat easily or much, but running had worked up a bit of sweat, so perhaps she could use that? Mayume halted a little ways away from the men, and began channeling her chakra and shaking her hand as if she was trying to get something off it. Indeed, more sweat than before streaked down her arm and dripped onto the floor. {{ Jutsu learned : Mizu no Waruasobi [ Trick of Water ] β Rank E }}
Although this little success was encouraging, it was disappointing that the water had disappeared almost right away. Perhaps she could draw it back out? Again, Mayume focussed her own chakra, trying to somehow pull moisture from the air. Nothing much seemed to happen, so the girl kept trying until water began forming from the air. Encouraged by this, the girl kept going until a puddle of water about a gallon or so had formed on the ground. {{ Jutsu learned : Mizu Soujuu [ Water Manipulation ] β Rank X [E] }}
Ok, time to turn that into a reflective surface. Again, the dark-haired girl began molding her chakra. Releasing it with a handsign, she smiled as the surface of the puddle of water began to smooth out. After a moment, the surface was smooth like polished marble, and the reflection became clear enough to mirror whatever came in. The girl moved around it to see how the image shifted, a giddy smile on her face as she played around for a bit. {{ Jutsu learned : Mizu Kagami no Jutsu [ Water Mirror Technique ] β Rank E }}
The brief silliness left her as she saw no-one in the reflection, and the girl sighed disappointedly. Looks her invitation had fallen upon deaf ears. No! She would not allow herself to think that way. She could see the dojo in the distance. Perhaps they were just taking another route, or they were practicing jutsu on their way here, just like she had. Afterall, there were many ways to reach the dojo from the academy.

After a few minutes or so Emi had managed to catch up with Mayume. She walked into the place where they were to dance in battle while Emi could feels butterflies begin to form in her stomach. She was already pretty winded from the run over here. A flat out sparring match would totally spell disaster for her. Her small feet beat along the path inside while she skulked in and managed to lose her fellow training partner. She searched around the rooms one by one until she caught the tail end of the girl practicing some ninjutsu. Emi slid the door open and walked inside.
"Sorry I'm late. You run so fast..." She took a moment to catch her breath and leaned on the wall. "Are we ready to go?"
Yelling his head off as he rushed towards the dojo, Yoshiro was running at top speed. He would have to give it an extra effort if he was going to make up for the time he had lost by stopping by the library to pick up that scroll. Thankfully, effort was something he was never in short supply of. 'Come on. Come on. Come on.' he repeated to himself internally, pushing his body as he continued his rampage.
After running for a minute or so, Yoshiro finally caught sight of two of the girls from earlier and a wild grin formed on his face. Finally, he had managed to catch up to the others. 'Victory, here I come! he thought. Continuing his charge, if they all continued at their current pace, he might just have had a shot at overtaking the two girls and beating them to the dojo.

A soft voice penetrated Mayume's thoughts, and the girl looked up to locate the source of the familiar sound. "Emiko!" She turned to the younger girl with a smile on her face, relieved that someone had taken up her invitation. Before she could say any more though, a loud yell could be heard as the Oni boy came speeding through. Mayume half-raised her hand when she realized that she and Emiko had slowed down, and that he would win if they didn't pick up the pace. Oh no you don't! Her legs pumped vigorously as she began to race in earnest, but she had lost some valuable time getting up to speed.
Her slim frame was bent over slightly as she caught her breath, her teasing tone indicating that she was by no means a sore loser. "Hah, got beat at my own game huh" Straightening up she continued, a wink accompanying her teasing. "So what's your name? I can't go around buying ice cream for strangers now can I? Although, do you know if there are others from the academy on their way? I'll be happy to wait if that means I'm not last." That was only partially true: Mayume had not forgotten about the whole rival thing, and she was not exactly thrilled to fight-yet-not-fight Emiko.
With the race done, the young shinobi in training turned to her colleagues, a thoughtful look on her face. "Ne, does anyone have experience with this formless style thing?"

OOC: Sorry for the short post. Up to you if Emiko finishes ahead or with Mayume. Also I have read your post in the Academy, and will respond to that when they actually get to fighting/training.
Chie was pleased to see the kids training. She had her demons to fight, so she needed to train as well. She would leave as soon as she finished training. After all, she didn't want to distract her kids from their practices.

Masato's technique seemed to have broken the hold of the technique on Taylor, his friend would unfortunately seem to not return as himself. The shift in his eyes would tell him that he had lost the boy once more. Clenching his fist, he realized he may never get his friend back wholly. He would help Taylor to his feet, showing unnatural compassion. " C'mon blondie. Let's go."

As Masato helped Taylor to his feet, six masked guards appeared. They surrounded the two in close proximity as three of them had their hands ready on their swords, two had their arms ready to mold seals, and the one directly in front of the two males stood with his arms folded. "Masato Umechika. As a Vortex operative, it is essential to know that the rogue you have within your grasp is wanted for treason against Uzushiogakure. Therefore, he must be brought in and detained for further questioning." The man in charge said. Taylor slowly sat up as he listened to the words. Treason? His mind went to that, but suddenly the name Masato Umechika resonated with him. His left eye turned blue as he looked up at the Uchiha. "Masato, follow him." Taylor whispered as he grabbed the chain of his chain scythe. Before the other operatives could respond Taylor had disbursed away in a body flicker. Horus took the cue and flew off as he circled around. Two clones joined the bird in flight as they all disbursed with a body flicker. However, with Masato's sharingan, he would undoubtedly tell which clone was the real, and thus which one to follow.

Masato was stunned as the Vortex Ninja appeared around him. He would find what they were saying very difficult to believe. As Taylor whispered and broke away to create shadow clones, Masato would roar at the operatives. " Break away! I'll follow this one. If you capture him, detain him and signal the rest!" with that, His sharingan would detect the true Taylor and body flicker directly behind the boy.

"Y-Yeah. I hope..." Emiko began before the sound of the male oni rang through the air as he charged on through to the dojo. She looked at Mayume for guidance. The race they had was still on it appeared. The student revved herself up and then sped along with her friend. Her shorter legs hit the ground as fast as Emiko would allow them to. The both of them hurried along until they had been bested by the tall boy that had followed them. His larger legs made for an easier time and gaining ground but she wasn't going to complain about anything. Not when she was secretly worried about sparring with one of them. If it was Mayume she would have a difficult time but with this boy? It would be fine. Emiko was horrible with names and even if he was from her class, she didn't even remember his name. She crossed the finish line in second place and wheezed as she slowed down to rest beside the two.
"Huff. A-Ahh.." The academy student closed her eyes and began to control her breathing as Mayume spoke up about being last. It was nice to hear that no bad blood would exist between any of them. Emi smiled a little bit while moving some hair that had fallen out of place. Maybe when she saw Asena again she could ask about styling. Mayume asked the oni for his name and joked about buying while Emi began to chew the inside of her cheek. That sounds so nice but I don't know if I should let her buy me ice cream. I really can't repay her... She thought to herself. Things got back to business soon enough and Mayume asked the two about formless styles. Emiko hesitated but then shook her head no.
"I've only tried the Konohagakure Taijutsu style but not a formless style..."
Making his way into the dojo building Kairi headed into the main dojo floor. Kicking off his boots, and untying his shingurds, he set them to the side. Offering his weapons to the keeper he headed out onto the dojo floor. Dipping down he stretched his legs by sitting on his heel and kicking his leg out while leaning forward to try and touch his head to his knee. This was gonna be a good day one way or another.
Pumping his arms with each stride he took, Yoshiro was heading full speed towards the dojo. He had managed to overtake the two girls who had gotten a head start on him but that didn't mean he could let up. He had to give it 100% for 100% of the race. That was the only sure way to win. He wouldn't even allow himself to look back at his competition. Eyes forward, he was fixated on the dojo that grew closer and closer with each step, and with it, his victory.
When Yoshiro finally managed to reach the designated finish line, he stumbled a bit in his deceleration due to all the momentum he had built but still managed to stay on his feet. Still, even if his finish was the cleanest, he wasn't worried about it. All that mattered was that he had won. "Woo! That's what I'm talkin' about!" he exclaimed, throwing his fists up into the air. He then moved his hands behind his head and interlocked his fingers to help keep them there while he steadied his breathing and allowed his heart rate to slow back to a normal resting level.
Not much later the two girls arrived behind him, the redhead just before the black haired girl. Having managed to get his breathing and heart rate back to normal, he allowed his arms to drop back to his sides and turned back to the girls. He couldn't help but laugh a bit at the comment from the girl who had arrived last out of the three. It was good to hear she was a good sport. When asked for his name, he smiled and replied enthusiastically, "The name's Yoshiro. Don't feel too bad about losing to me. You guys finished the last lesson first, so it's only fair that I even the score." "I'm just glad icecream wasn't on the line last time." he added with a chuckle.
Getting back to business, Yoshiro listened as the two girls discussed what to do about their formless training. Admittedly, he probably didn't have much more experience than them but the dojo was definitely far more his speed than the classroom, having spent much of his free time in the building training. "I don't know anything about fancy weapons or all that mental mumbo-jumbo, but I've got plenty of experience being physical. I could probably show you girls a thing or two." he explained confidently (even perhaps a bit boastfully), pointing to himself with his thumb as he flexed one of his arms.

[q uote="Tsuki_Rei"] [q uote="Novasse"] [q uote="Azeiel The Risen"]I wasn't sure how to incorporate Kairi into the situation but perhaps he could overhear the three of them talking about formless training and offer his expertise?

Sumiko entered the Dojo, making her way to a set of benches along the wall, dropping her bag. She stretched, looking around for Shinsei, who hadn't seemed to arrive before her after all. The younger students seemed to have formed a gaggle together in one section of the building but Sumiko had no intention of joining them. After all, she had promised Shinsei they could brawl.
Modifiers: β’ Double Sealing: At body rank D and C costs are reduced by five [5]. At body rank B and A, costs are reduced by ten [10]. Finally at body rank S and S+ costs are reduced by fifteen [15] These reductions DO NOT stack and override their previous totals (D+C -5, B+A -10, S beyond -15). β’ Double Sealing Class: Learn 2 extra Ninjutsu per post β’ The Uzumaki learn 1 extra Ninjutsu per post. β’ The Uzumaki have deep chakra pools: +60 Chakra or +60 Stamina. β’ The Uzumaki have great life force, reducing effects of all sapping jutsu to one-quarter their normal effects. β’ No restrictions on Fuuin, other than normal ninjutsu learning limits and rank learning limits. Personal Attributes: β’ Overwhelming Presence: Sumiko possess vast reserves of natural chakra inside her body. +100 Chakra. β’ Soft Hands: Sumiko has really soft hands and prefers not to fight in CQC, allowing her to trade Buki and Tai style slots for 10 Nin/Gen slots (These can be split between the two, it isn't all or nothing). β’ Do As I Command: Sumiko has moved beyond needing even single handseals to preform Fuuin and Uzumaki Techniques. Only simple motions and gestures are required, but stronger techniques require more full body motions.
Shinsei still didn't really understand what a formless style was -- or why it existed -- but he did in fact need to graduate, so he decided to tag along with Sumiko regardless. Of course, he wasn't extremely satisfied with his confused state, but as he came along with her he started to conceptualize what a 'Formless' style of combat might have been. It seemed like... a template.
When they arrived, he placed his jacket on one of the hangars at the entryway, leaving him with a pair of shorts and a tank top. Getting settled on his toes, he glanced to Sumiko.
"So -- you have any clue what we're actually supposed to do?" he asked. "They need to graduate us already. I hate school." He said this, of course, with absolutely no enthusiasm -- and truly, no emotion.
