Welcome to Gaia! ::

David came running in the front of the pack of ninja as he yelled at Komen to stop. this was more of an order then asking as he was now in charge of the team Psycho. "i'm glad i caught you, we need to discuss some important missions that we have been charged with..." he said as he grabbed a scroll from a pocket(no he doesn't wear a jounin vest, he wears a suit.) he then started to unroll it as he began to list off a small section that had important missions on them, "we have a few choices on missions that we can take. lets see, we have the choice of searching for rare artifacts, we can explore other villages and obtain information, this is mainly for finding more about hidden federation, its quite unknown why they really merged, and last we can train vigorously in other villages or here to find out new jutsu." David said as Metalos smiled, " i like them all, but i'm mostly just support for any of these... i may get in the way a bit." David looked at Ryu and then at Komen, "well what do you think? i personally have something i wouldn't mind to find within the limits of the first mission. what do you think?" he said asking Komen and Ryu wondering about their oppinions on the matter of a mission.
(7/??David)

David smiled as he looked at the unusual armors that his teammate had possessed "well those are interesting, and if thats one of the things that you wouldn't mind doing then i'm all for it." he said smiling happily as he continued, "there is one armor i am interested in though... and i would do anything to get it back, trust me on this, i will kill anything that gets in my way of reclaiming my Darkness, it was one very potential armor as it had the ability to work on multiple places at once, and even create weapons. one of which is my main reason for wanting it back, i had found a more primitive species of the Darkness from researching, it had the ability of a virus and would kill a person very quickly. i need it back for that main purpose, i could have almost had it if i hadn't died just recently, but i do need to get it back as i and my former self are the only ones who know how to use this so far. if i can get enough of these i will not need the armor anymore but until then, it may aswell be one of our first stops. Shiro Howard was the last one to have it, but he exploded and someone took it to make sure he could get it back." David said as he added the first missions main purpose, "for our first mission we shall locate the new Shirokarasu Howard, and obtain the Darkness Armor. once we have done this we shall continue to find our next objective, which we shall determine upon completion. is this alright with you all?" he asked as he took a look at Metalos who was shaking his head up and down. then proceeded to look at Komen and Ryu.

(( since Loki doesn't seem to be on i'll just say he nodded too))
David watched as Komen and Ryu nodded their heads in agreement. "alright now we have to scout through the villages to find the reincarnated form of Shiro Howard, first we shall check hidden alchemy as it is most likely that he would want to find his most important objects and claim them to his new body. so recap, our mission is to locate the more mysterious items that have been around, the first of which we shall search for is the Darkness armor, with which we shall have to find Shiro's new body and retrieve the armor by force if necessary." he paused as he looked at each of them and his smile became a straight face, "Understand? Good!" he said without waiting then would start to head to the docks and hopefully each of them would follow, Metalos did follow along with David.

Agito awakes and jumps out of bead and automaticly reaches for his katana "oh it was another nightmare" Agito has been having nightmares sense he began killing so much, he would dream that the people he killed where to arise from cracks in the ground. all of them with the same wound that Agito killed them with Agito would then try and kill them but would be instantly over powered and devoured but each time he awoke he was in his room feeling the breeze blow through a sligth crack in his window "pfft dreams are pointless unless they make you want to do something..and my dreams make me want to get stronger so if i ever where to encounter something like that i wont be overpowered" Agito then opened his window after changing and putting on his equiment then Agito would jump out of the window as his gold eye stared down as the wind blew up against his eyepatch then he would hit the ground and run across the village which he did this time but as he did the shop owners would glare as Agito's killing spread and became misdistibuted now the villagers believe he killed innocent people for no reason but Agito payed them no mind but alot people also wondered why he wore a eyepatch if he had two eyes and the answer was simple Agito had two eyes his favored one his golden sharklike eye and a regular brown eye which made him feal mortal evertime he saw his fefection but Agito tryed so hard to train so he could eventually become vertualy unstopable a immortal om some sorts but Agito's most powerfulmoves took away his sight so him wearing an eyepatch didnt really bother him and he feal that his golden eye let him see more clearly like he had three eyes instead of one Agito was also looking for a way to put himself down in history for either killing the strongest person or becoming the strongest, so AGito's dream was always to achieve power no matter what and as Agito jumped from building to tree and manuevered around large corwds of people he wondered how he could obtain more power and he wasnt thinking new techniques he meant power that could let him become at a chunin level at his current level but Agito dismissed the idea because he knew no power that could do that accept the tailed demons and cursed seal which he knew where scarce to come bye and he knew that he would need to become stronger in order to find and obtain one so Agito began to run into the "getto" part of the village where the houses where more like piles of wood thrown together then houses and Agito saw a character everywhere either fighting or stealing but Agito enjoyed that because he knew that there had to be someone there who would be a strong opponent Agito continued running until he saw a skinny like ninja about to kill someone with a rusty hook Agito then threw a shuriken and stabbed the ninja in the hand making him dropped the chained hook but strange to Agito for amoment he fealt that he stopped the ninja because he wanted to fight him not becuase he was about to kill a innocent but Agito dicarded the ideas as the ninja then picked up the rusty hook that was attached to a chain and threw it at Agito Agito dodged it but then another one came so Agito slightly ducked and the hook wizzed past his head Agito smirked as he knew that this guy would be a worthy opponenet As Agito hit the ground another hook came which Agito dodged then grabbed Agito then pulled the chain but the ninja pulled harder pulling Agito toward him but as Agito flew towards the ninja Agito then flipped over him and as he front flipped he brung his heel into the back of the ninja's head but the ninja simply ducked and did his own front flip which brung his heel into Agito's body and crash him to the grown Agito then gasped in shock and pain but then rollewd up and jumped backwards while holdinghis stomach "good move" Agito then began to cough then he ran at the ninja but this time drew his katana then the ninja swung his chain at Agito's head but Agito ducked and cut the chain to one of the hoks then Agito went and swung his katana at the ninja but the ninja dodged the attack and swung anmother chain from his other hand but this chain was faster and spiked along with a trident like hook at the end Agito then ducked barly dodging it but the ninja quickly spun it back around and sent it crashing to the ground Agito jumped to the side and dodged it but his left arm was cut from reacting to late Agito then began swingign around his katanat then quickly stopped it and darted at the ninja but the ninja sent his chain and wrapped it around Agito's sword but Agito then stabbed the sword into the ground andran along the chain like a tight rope making sure to avoid the spikes then quickly smashed his foot intot the ninja's chin sending the ninja flipping into the air afte he let go of the chain Agito then jumped and began to kick and spin in order to gain more speed and catch up to the ninja and he did Agito then grabbed the ninja by the arm and swung him around then through him to the ground but as the ninja was flying down Agito began to punch and kick him then finished it with a elbow to the ninjas stomach which Agito thought killed the ninja so Agito then stood up and began walking off while breathing hard after picking up his katana but then he heard a wizzing sound like from a spinning chain then a kind of woosh sound like something begin thrown so Agito ducked and just as he suspected a chain swung around the area where Agito's head was then was pulled back tot he ninja who had obviously not died "so you hav e more kick then i thought" Agito then used his lightning clone jutsu and ran along with them as they all attacked hte ninja but each time the ninja was hit he swung his chain and destroyed two clones eventually Agiot was left by himself as then a chain wizzed at him and wrapped arrouund him driving the spikes into his body Agito yelled then managed to loosen the grip of the chains with his shuriken enough to slip out then Agito through his shuriken and folloiwed up with a demon wind shuriken the ninja cought the shuriken and cought the demon wind shuriken with his chain then the ninja swung the chain while singing around himself addidng more power to the chain then let it go as it wizzed at Agito but Agito dodged it then the ninja moved his arm and wipped the chains back at Agito, Agito was then hit and thrown into a wooden shack in which he fell through then the ninja picked Agito up and muttered "kid..me and you are on to diffrent levels" As Agito then went to throw a attack the ninja threw him then cought him with the chan and smashed him into and through a window of a abandoned house Agito was dazed for a moment but then realized where he was and how he got their and instantly jumped right back out the window with his katana pointed at the ninjas face " you die here!" Agito cried out as he then pulled his blade forcivly down and cut the chain wieled by the ninja in half and before the ninja could react Agito used his air blade technique and stabbed the ninja int he stomach then jumped into the air and kicked the ninja in the face and sent him flying " what was that about us being on diffrent levels. oh you must have meant that i was a way higher level than you!" Agito then used his demonic sword techniqe and his heavenly blade technique which was the best way to fight him sense his moves where unpredictable Agito would have to hear them Agito then swung and then ninja moved back and thre up a kick but Agito heard it lift off the ground and grabbed his foot and thre him through the same window Agito was thrown through " so you ready to give up yet" the ninja then laghed and jumped out of the window then began to punch and kick at Agito not staying in one place for more then two seconds but Agito heard every move and countered it almost instantly but every once inn a while Agito would get hit but then he would retaliat with three hit to his opponent but then the ninja pulled out another chain but this time attached it to his glove and when he swung it Agito was barly able to dodge and the hook cut his cheek " how many of thos chains do you have?" the ninja didnt answer as he then began punching at Agito but then the end of his combo was a swing of the hook sense it was attached to his glove and Agito heard the chain wizz through the air and tried to catch it but when he did he kicked bye the ninja sending him flying but then the ninja threw his chain as Agito flew and the hook slashed Agito across his stomach making Agito yell otu in pain as he smashed into the wall "you son of a..." before Agito was finished he was picked up by the ninja and thrown then Agito again heard the chain but this time fliped frontwards and when he fully flipped he grabbed the bottomm of the chain and tryed to cut itn with a shuriken but this time the chain wouldnt break as the ninja then pulled the chain and it slipped from Agito's hand as it also left a fdeep cut in his palm Agito began to let the blood just drip as he then began to charge chakra onto his katana that he insheathed "devine sword!" as Agito shouted this his blade glowed with the built up lightning like chakra sizzling off his blade then he ran at the ninja and tried to slash him but the ninja jumped back wards ontot a wall then quickly fliped off the wall and over Agito before gravity pulled him down Agito heard the impact onto the ground and turned and swung his blade and he severed the top hallf of the ninjas hand as he was too late to jump back Agito then got to full of himself and the fact that he had never used while using the devine sword technique and bluntly ran at the ninja but this time the ninja swung his arm and because the chain was attached to the glove the blade swirled and grabbed Agito's blade but Agito tried to rip it off but the blade would not break " whats with this chain!" Agito then spun and lowerd his body at the same time unravaling his blade from the chain and also spining his way right toward the ninja but the ninja jumped to the side and the blade stabbed nothing but air " your going tgo have to stop running eventually or ill just wait for you to get tired and ill hack you to pieces!" Agito then spun and slashed at the ninja as he stood behind him but htis time the ninja ducked then as Agito pulled his arm back the ninja jumped uup and kicked Agito around four times in the chest then spun around in mid air and smashed his foot into Agito's head which sent him rolling Agito was still concentrating on keeping his devine blade together so it did not go away as he hit the ground but Agito quickly jumped up and waited for his oppoenent to attack again As Agito waited he listened and then once he heard a steop he knew where the ninja was and whihc way he was running but this time the ninja ran to the side and Agito followed him as the ninja pushed past people while laghign and Agito ran by people makign sure not to cut anyone with his blade then the ninja darted around a corner in which Agito folloew and he heard alot of people talkingf so he stopped his devine sword technique and sheathed his blade as he listened for the laghing as then he heard the laghing go up and heard foot steps up a wall so Agiot ricochied from building to building until he reached the top of the building then Agito heard more laghing and he heard that the ninja was climbing up a ladder sense he heard four almost simultaneous beats so Agito followed the sound and found a ladder whih he then climbed up but then Agito realized that the ninja led him into a trap so he quickly released his heavenly blade technique and saw as the ninja swung his chain at him Agiot's chase brought him from the bad part of the village so instead of people crowding around to watch they tyelled and ran away but Agito didnt pay them any attention as he ducked from the chain making sure not to fall off the top of the water tower in which the nionja led him to Agiot then unsheathed his katyanaand used his demonic sword technique as he then smacked the hook away as it came a second time and went to slash at the ninja but the ninja dodged it then jumped as Agito tried to sweep his feet then Agito tried to jump up and slash him but the ninja grabbed Agito shoulder and flipped over him leaving Agito at awe at how slow he was but Agito ignored his awe and continued to try and cut the ninja but everytimer the ninja dodged Agito then mixed his moves up as he threw a shuriken then fliped three times inthe air and as it looked like he was coming down with his blade Agito spun once more and slammed down his foot but the ninja quickly jumped off the water tower to a higher part of the building which was more wide but was alot more higher so Agito swiftly followed by jumping onto the roof aswell then he saw another hook but this time he jumped then stomped down steppinfg on the chain then Agiot threw a shuriken at the ninja as he was now stuck because of the fact that the chain was sattached to his glove but then the ninja cought the shuriken bye the blade with his other hand and ignored his hand s blood began to run down it from a cut he recieved from the shurikens sharpened blade then he threw the shuriken aat Agito but this time alot fast and Agiot couldtn catch it so he moved then the ninja pulled his chain back then swung it at Agito but this time higher so Agito couldtn jump and catch it again so Agito ducked but the ninja quickly swng his chain araound and slammed it down buyt Agito rolled just in time to avoid it " hes so fast i cant keep up with hiks chain but its like he wants me to dodge it becuase everyttime it ocomes at me it slows down Agito then saw the chain comign again and moved and the chain smashed into the ground again Agito hen pulled out a shuriken "well who cares if he wants to hold back then hell die" Agito then ran straight in and then ninja trhough his chain right at Agito but agito dodged it and as the ninja pulled it back Aiot through his shuriken then pulled out his katana and as the ninja cought the shuriken again Agito slashed at him with his katana and cut him right across the chest then the man stumbled back and fell over Agito then walked over to the ninja and as he went to make the stab the ninja kicked Agito's feet from under him and jumped up then he swung the hook down and Agito managed to oush off wit his feet and slide back a inch away from where the hook slamed into the ground " that was lucky another inch and i would have been done for" Agito then took his lucky break and jumped off the hook stuck in the ground and slashed as hard as he could and As the ninja moved agito hit the chain which didnt make it break but it held it down and the glove was puuled off Agito then ripped rhe chain out of the ground and threw it off the building ' well looks like you dont have anymore weapons" Agiot was then hit with a kick then punch two times with the same fiist then the ninja kicked Agito into the air then grabbed Agito by his hair and threw him into the top of the building Agito gasped as he was slammed into the top of the building but it wasnt hard enough to knock Agiot outcold so Agiot climbed to his feet and waited for his opponenet then as he saw his opponenet run towards him Agito took out his katana and used both his devine,and heavenly sword techniques then Agito held the blad eout long ways to his side then ran straight int at the ninja the ninja began to lagh as Agito tried a head on attack again the ninja then jumped over Agito and kicked him in the back of the head making him stumble Agito then was filled with rage and began to run at the ninja but this time the lightning on his blade glowed so much that the very few people wtching from the ground could see it then Agito slammed his blade into the ground and as he ran he drug the tip of the blade through the top of the building but the energy of the blade was so strong it made a deeper indednt just fomr the chakra surrounding the blade and the indent steamed Agiot was planning to end the battle with one final swing and as Agiot ran at the ninja from across the top of the building the ninja again lahed and began to stand their and wait for the enevedtible contact with Agito but the ninja had something planned and Agito knew he did from the way he laghed but Agito's craving to kill the ninja drowned out his logic one again and as Agito swung he yelled out so that everyone could hear it the ninja then laghed one last time before he cought both Agito's wrist and was holding on to Agito's neck at the same time Agito was amazed at how fast the Ninja was and as Agiot looked at him the man squeezed and twisted Agito's wrist almost breaking it so Agiot let go of his sword and it autmoticly stoped serging with chakra Agito then regained his sight as his last technique was released then the ninja laghed and said " its impressive that a young boy of your age could learn a technique like that but now you wont live to see the rest of your life!" Agito couldnt move as he was both imobilized with fear and the lost of almost all his chakra then the man through him from ontop of the building and then the last Agito saw was the Ninja laghing at him before he smashed through abndoned roadside shop which luckily cushoioned his fall enough to just injnure his left arm and nock him unconsious Agiot then layed there in the pile of ruble as everyone was to eafraid to help him until Agito awoke several hours later "that..stup..i.d ninj.a will die once i find him a..gain" Agito then slowly climbed to his feet holding his left arm as he walked from the ruble and accidentaly bumbed into a few people as he turned the corner but no stopped to help him and Agito was to proud to stop and ask for it Agiot thens topped and began t o cough really hard but then he kept going leaning against the walls for support for his weakened legs " why could i beat him.." Agito was used to his winning streaks so the lose took a deep blow to him Agito then walked around two more cornersd and made it to his house which he then again cwalked inot closed the door andploped dow on his bed but growned for a moment as his amr began to hurt

Kyoshou tossed and turned. Finally he began opening his eyes. He blinked a few times trying to remember what had happened. He suddenly sat up realizing that had happened just before he passed out. He looked out the window to see that the chaos from the Alchemy Tyrant's battle had waned. He wondered if Shisui was ok. He began panning around the room. It had a poster bearing the Uchiha clan symbol. Kyoshou figured he must be in Shisui's room. He got up not remembering anything in the afterlife. He only knew it as a dream.

As far as he knew, he had always carried the diamond staff and was the host of the Kyuubi. He wandered into Shisui's bathroom. He inspected himself in the mirror curiously gazing at his silver hair. He opened the cabinet under the sink to find a bottle of black hair dye. He wondered 'Why does Shisui have this? She has blonde hair....maby she uses it when she wants to fit in with the other members of the Uchiha clan.' He inspected his hair once again when he suddenly got the idea to dye his own hair. He spent about twenty minutes in the bathroom.

When he finally came out his silvery hair now had jet black streaks in it. Kyoshou was quite satisfied with how it came out. He figured it was a time to change. He jumped out the window of Shisui's room to climb up to the rooftop. The diamond Bo staff on his back finally spoke "Oi Kyoshou, quit wasting time! You need to prepare for the Chuunin exams." Kyoshou moaned as he said "I'll do it later! I need to find Shisui and ask her how the battle went!" King Enma saw it best not to protest. Kyoshou then wondered where Shisui could have gone.

...of the Twilight Sonata

Kyoushou would be surprised to find Shisui sprawled just outside of the doorway to her room. Long golden locks splayed around her head in a haloish fashion. She snored lightly as she rested a few different cuts and bruises bandaged across her lithe frame. She had switched out of her normal shinobi clothes in exchange for more appropriate home robes of simply black silk with the Uchiha clan crest on the back. It would be a definite change with no bandages wrapped across the majority of her upper and a good portion of her lower body she had gone from seeming to be a effeminate boy to being tomboyish girl. She had come here shortly after the battle completely exhausted after repairing over 99% of the damage caused by Sin and healing almost every soldier who was still even had a sliver of life pulsing through them. She had exhausted her chakra using her Imperial Cleansing Flames over and over again to repair damage and regrow cells. Even now as Kyoshou began to move around she remained deep in her own slumber her back facing away from the sliding rice paper door on which she was casting a shadow.
