Welcome to Gaia! ::

Karuhi nodded and jumped down also, landing perfectly on her feet.
"Yes, let's get this over with."

Matsuda walked out on to the stands.

Kuntai sighed.
"I know.. I know..."

Rina bit nervously on her finger nails. She had on a small shock collar, a request on her part. They had been told to come so they did, but if they cut of Sani's head, she would go ballistic. She had already smelled his blood before. She wouldn't be able to stay back this time. They just hoped they wouldn't use her as more of the evidence.... she wasn't truly the only one...was she?

Cannon walked in and took her place in between Yukai and Karuhi, she had always been the tie breaker if they couldn't decide.

A small shape passed through the crowd, though one could tell she was 23 by her figure. She looked up from under her hood with interested deep set blue eyes. she smirked a bit before blending back in with the cannibals.

Matsuda stood up, a slight smiled on her face.
"I will."

Karuhi's eyebrow raised.
"You may speak.."

Matsuda smirked a bit.
"Not to jump the boat, but I have one thing to say." She took a deep breath. "Over the year or so that Sani was in Karuhi's care, he had become more and more corrupt. Karuhi feed Sani chakura, even though she knew it would mess him up. Not only that, but she brainwashed him, making him forget he was even human to begin with. Then she fed him a large amount of chakura, her power, even though she knew the effects of it. She welcomed his insanity and fed it, nurtured it.." she took in another breath. "So technically it is Karuhi's fault, not Sani." Matsuda was thinking of using Rina, but one look at her made her feel otherwise. It had been Karuhi's idea to mess with Rina's over all chemistry.

Cannon looked interested at Matsuda. Maybe this girl wasn't suck a scrawny, melodramatic, blindsided b*tch after all.

Karuhi growled softly, glaring at Matsuda.

Matsuda sat down.

Jeannette stood up, smiling a little.
"Thank you Yukai.." She bowed a bit, then looked around. "Seems I'm quite on the contrary of the last person. I've seen half the stuff that Sani has done to people. Even the girl before can attest to this. Sani has an unusual....habit. He sews the ears and tails of an animal on to a human while they're awake and force them in to cannibalism.." she frowned a bit and turned to Yukai. "If it is allowed, may I take someone from the stands to show you something?"

Rina stiffened.

Jeannette looked up at her.
"Rina Perri! Come down here, please.." Rina stood and made her way down, taking the collar off. She stopped in front of Jeannette who placed a barrier around her. Jeannette gave her an apologetic smile then slit her fore arm, her blood dropping to the floor.

Rina tried to hold her breath but the smell was too close, her vision quickly went black. The change in Rina was quick, her fangs grew in her mouth and her claws expanded on her hands. She launched for Jeannette with a snarl, a mad rage, and hit the Barrier. But even then she clawed at the barrier, destroying it. But even as she destroyed the barrier more layers formed. Rina's eyes were red now, she was on total attack mode. Her muscles were more prominent now, they moved under her skin like sheathed cables. She growled like a tiger at Jeannette and slammed in to the barrier with her shoulder and the barrier cracked dangerously.

Jeannette flinched and flicked her hand, the barrier grew strong again.
"Sani created this... messed with this girls over all chemistry and made her in to a killing machine. Then, after she didn't do what he told her to, he chained her to a wall for 6 years, starving her..." The crystal at rina's throat wasn't white like it usually was, it was blood red.

Jeannette seemed to pull a kind of string and Rina was snapped back in to conscious.

Deidara stood up.
"Guilty. He almost killed some one very close to me and I can't stand what he did." He crossed his arms before sitting back down.

Mei (the misukage) stood up.
"Many of us have made mistakes, yet we are still alive, our souls still in tact. Even Madara himself still walks freely among us.. We have all been blinded once. I say Innocent.." She sat back down.

The Flame kage chuckled and stood up.
"What this boy has done... makes even the strongest man want to throw up. Take off his head, guilty..." She sat back down.

Kaguya stood up.
"I've seen first hand the kind of stuff Karuhi can do, I would not put it past her to brainwash someone. Innocent." She sat back down.

Jeannette looked at the Kazkage, it was all his decision now. To lean one way or the other.

Karuhi sighed and placed her head in her hands.
"Not guilty.... mainly because, as the girl stated, some of this is my fault...."

Matsuda smiled.
"Yes!!!!!"

Jeannette frowned.

Cannon sighed, it was 4, 5... they might not require her services after all.

Cannon was there quickly, pulling the string from the boy's hands. Her glare held no kindness for them both.
"It's been decided. Just because you are Archangels does not mean you can hold the balance of people's lives in your hands...Do not take your emotions and think they mean anything on the big scale. As of the information I have gained, and with no background information at all or feelings, or emtional ties to this case, I say the boy is innocent. The gods and goddess have quite the effect on people."

Karuhi chuckled a bit, surprised at Cannon. Of course, she wasn't entirely shocked, Cannon had turned in to quite the cutthroat since she had been sent to her domain.

Jeannette let Rina out of the barrier and Rina scrambled back in to the stands and back beside Ludwig, trying to block out the smell of Sani's blood. She slipped the collar back on.

Matsuda's whole body tensed.
