So this was just an app that I started writing for Raikage in another guild, but by the time I was done, I had all of this and I felt pretty proud of it. So please tell me what you think. biggrin
It was a quiet day in Kumogakure, the kind of day when everything seems to be as it should, the kind of day where you just know that something's going to go wrong. Lance paced back forth in his office, his knuckles turning white with the strain of clutching too tightly at the blades he wore on his waist. He had been feeling antsy all day, something just seemed off. Calm down, Lance, it's just your nerves, besides all this pacing is starting to get on my nerves, Houkou said from within the confines of Lance's mind.
"Yeah well, nerves also keep me wary and you know what---" Lance began saying out loud when there was a knock on the door. Jumping at the noise Lance immediately dropped into a fighting stance, his hands ready to draw his blades. His heartbeat quickened, his pulse was racing with adrenaline.
"Lord Raikage? It's me Yamatano, can I come in?", a voice called from behind the door. Lance could almost feel Houkou snickering at him in his head. "Shut up you..." Lance said as he relaxed and walked over to the door to let Yamatano in. "Your late for your training, Yamatano. If you expect me to teach you I expect punctuality", Lance said as Yamatano walked into his office.
Yamatano was a young child, his face filled with the excitement that only children could express. Looking up at Lance he didn't even attempt to look apologetic as he said, "what are you going to teach me today, Sensei?"
Lance couldn't help but smile down at the child, his tardiness already forgotten. "Well I thought we would go on a scouting mission to help you work on your speed", Lance his replied, his stark white eyes beaming down at his favored apprentice, "so then, follow me." Lance then sprang out the window and began making his way towards the village gates. Behind him he could hear Yamatano yelling his complaints, "Hey that's not fair, you know I can't jump that far down." Lance just laughed as he sped along, jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
After several hours of wandering around the countryside with Yamatano, Lance stopped in a clearing and smiled down at his apprentice as he said, "Why don't we have some lunch before we continue along." Yamatano's breathing was labored, sweat pouring down his face and neck, soaking his shirt. He simply nodded in agreement as he tried to force his face to smile despite his breathing. With another laugh Lance told Yamatano to gather some wood while he went to fetch some water for their waterskins.
The stream hadn't been far away, but it should have given Yamatano enough time to get a small fire going. As Lance came up on the clearing he called out jokingly, "Oh Yamatano, I just remembered I only have enough food for myself. I hope your not too..." As Lance broke through the clearing into their camp-site he found three large men standing around on the opposite edge. He came to a sudden stop as he looked at each one, one of them hefted a large cleaver like sword, another was tossing a katana from hand to hand, while the last held a small knife... pressed to the side of Yamatano's neck.
Lance began to inch his hand towards his blades when the man holding Yamatano pulled him closer, pressing the knife closer to the boy's throat, "Nuh, uh, uh, I wouldn't do that if I were you, not unless you want to see this poor boy's throat ripped open anyway." Lance moved his hand no further, his expression blank as he looked down at his favored apprentice. Yamatano's eyes were wide with fear, his breathing heavy just as it had been when they'd arrived, but there was an urgency to each breath that wasn't there before, as if each breath could be his last.
Lance then looked up at the man that was holding him, his stark white eyes boring into the man with a loathing words cannot describe. "What do you want?", Lance asked, his voice cold, distant. Meanwhile his mind was racing with thoughts of how to get Yamatano away from his captors. Let me take care of them, I haven't gotten to use any of my power in a while, Houkou's voice echoed from within the confines of Lance's mind. Too risky, Lance replied, we might harm Yamatano.
"Well, well, well straight to the point I see, I like that. Well here's the deal, Lord Raikage. You're gonna give us 100,000 ryu, or your student here is gonna die young", the man holding Yamatano said. His goons guffawed at their bosses poor attempt at humor, clearly they were not the brains of this operation. Fine then, I guess I'll just watch... again. You always have all the fun, Houkou said languidly. Lance couldn't help but smirk at Houkou's words as he replied back to him, you wouldn't have any fun anyway, these simpletons are weak.
"What're you smiling about, pretty boy? You think we're joking! You think we won't do it!", the man replied, pressing his knife yet closer to Yamatano's neck, a thin line of blood beginning to run down the tip of the blade. Lance's smirk immediately disappeared as he said coldly, "If you let the boy go right now, I'll let you and your friends leave unharmed." The big man just laughed at Lance's response, "You must think I'm some kind of idiot, I know that as soon as I let the kid go you'll just attack us. No, no, no me and my mates here are gonna be long gone before we let your little---"
As fast as a bolt of lightning Lance rushed at the big man, grabbing the wrist of the hand holding the knife and wrenching it back. With an open-palmed thrust at the goons elbow joint, Lance snapped the man's arm in half. Screaming in pain the man let go of Yamatano as he yelled at his thugs, "DON'T JUST STAND THERE, DO SOMETHING!!!" The man with the cleaver managed to lift his blade into the air before Lance drew his own sword and plunged it through the man's gut, severing his spine.
As Lance turned towards the final thug he heard the familiar sound of steel rending flesh. Everything seemed to slow down as Lance turned to see Yamatano between himself and the final opponent, a blade buried in his lung. Lance's eyes widened as he saw the look on Yamatano's face, a look of disbelief and shock, as he stared down at the blade that was protruding from his chest. He looked up at Lance with those shocked eyes, blood trickling out of the side of his mouth.
"NOOOO!!!", Lance cried as he sat up in his bed, drenched in a cold sweat. His breathing was labored, just like Yamatano's had been that day. He lifted his shaking hands in front of his face and then buried his face in them. He felt his wife stirring beside him, but he couldn't look at her. He felt her smooth skin as she wrapped her arms around him in a comforting embrace.
"Did you dream about him again?", she asked quietly, soothingly.
"Yeah... yeah..."
