[a short post for the sir, my apologies] A quick giggle would escape Rinka as she watched the man before her turn about as red as she was, which isnt a color humans are usually supposed to be. The heat was getting to him and it was more than obvious, if from the man's appearance, then from the loud sound somewhere between a gasp and a cry for help. Seeing the waitress would be a minute to procure relief for her new friend, Rinka reached for her waist and produced a small gourd capped with a cork then offered it to the man and gave it a quick swirl to signify the contents were obviously liquid. Should Chouga choose to accept the oni's offer, he would find the contents to not only be sickeningly sweet, but almost instantly intoxicating yet oddly rejuvenating; a byproduct of the Oni's special brewing. By now, Rinka's giggle had turned into full on laughter, each bout punctuated by a small snort. "I am Rinka, friend." Her response would once again be short and to the point; no further commentary was needed, to her at least. Why waste words on saying what is already apparent?

Relief, this is what I desired most, how I attained it meant little to me, liquid. When the woman offered me liquid, I no longer was entranced by how she had found and developed an immunity to whatever this seething agony was. I downed the liquid I was uncertain whether or not the pain subsided. As in exchange for the relief my head grew somewhat cloudy. The waitress returned, I believe she was apologizing profusely. In my eyes she had bowed apologetically several times. Which she did but nowhere near as many as I remembered. I drank what she provided in combination with whatever it was the woman who I would now know as Rinka provided me. The pain subsided, I no longer was in agony, but my skin did not grow any less red. Perhaps it was how Akimichi process food, or in my own unique case, I felt like at any moment I would be venting steam from body like something out of a cartoon. Which did to some degree happen, perhaps it was the meal, perhaps it was Rinka's drink but in these choice few moments I felt. Good, good in the sense that I felt empowered. I'm never one to draw the spotlight to myself, rather I find pleasure in seeing the light in others glow. Without warning my bodies ability to regualt itself seemed to take a dip. I expanded to double my girth the bolts barely keeping the table down. A stereotypical double bicep flex occurred afterwards, and maybe even steam came out my nostrils like that of a bull. An embarrassing introduction in which both Rinka and the poor waitress would likely never forget. I myself however, I can barely recall what everything I had said then, but I believe it was something along the lines of. "I AM CHOUGA ATSUI! WORLD REKNOWN COURIER NIN AND PATROLMAN OF THE PROUD VILLAGE OF UZIOGAKURE AND LET NONE FORGET IT! IT IS MY PLEASURE TO MEET YOU FRIEND RINKA! LET US TAKE ON THE WORLD ON THIS DAY!" I then recall slamming the money for the meal on the table with a more than sizable tip. As I likely attempted to drag the new found friend along with me to the dojo. ~possible exit to dojo?

Niko followed Hisashi to exactly where she thought he'd be going. The restaurant district. "Really?" Niko sighed as she stopped walking. Hisashi, hoping Niko wasn't mad, sat down with the puppy eyes. Niko, very mad, crossed her arms. Hisashi, super sorry but really hungry and doesn't want fish, laid down with the puppy eyes, begging with a whimper. Niko, pissed off, began tapping her foot. Hisashi, very sad, got up in depression and slowly walked to Niko. Niko, feeling like the bad guy, caved. "$&#@! Fine! But you have to earn it! Got it?!" Hisashi perked up wagged his tail happily. "Good!"
After a quick set of hand seals, Niko activated the man beast clone technique. There stood another Niko, only it was Hisashi. Niko pointed to a poster of a model on the wall. "Go!" Hisashi transformed. The outcome was poor. "Again!" The outcome was better, but not there. "You've got this!" Perfect. "Good boy!" There the model stood and modeled off for Niko. Niko patted him on the head. "Okay Hisashi, speak." Hisashi barked, only it wasn't a bark at all. "Ruff!" Niko gave him a light bonk on the head. "Speak." Hisashi took a moment. This was a first. He began. "N-n-i-k-k-o." Niko smiled. "N-niko. Niko. Niko! Ha ha yeah! Niko! I am the great and almighty Hisashi Hatake! Hear me speak!" Niko laughed as she hugged Hisashi. "I'm so proud of you! You've earned some steak!""Whoo hoo! STEAK!"
Niko and the transformed Hisashi went to the steakhouse, however it wasn't as busy as it should have been. In fact, the steakhouse was empty. That was strange. When they got to the hostess, they noticed it was an elderly woman. "Oh a customer! Oh and he's so handsome! Please come, in come in! Is it just you two?" Niko sensed something was wrong. "Ma'am is everything okay? There are no customers." The woman had a grim look on her face. "We've lost some workers recently and since then business has been really slow. I'm just too weak to keep up with the rushes on my own. The people would get tired of waiting and leave. Even now I move so slow. Oh If only I had someone to help out. I'd be so grateful." The old woman got closer to Hisashi with asking eyes. Niko nodded. "We can help. What you like us to do?" The old woman smiled. "Well..."
"Fresh hot steak! Come get your fresh hot steak here!" Hisashi called as he rallied outside of the steakhouse. He was waving a bell and wearing a sign. "Steak, steak, steak, steak, steak, Steak, steak, steak, steak, steak, Steak, steak, steak, steak, steak! Fresh hot steak!" Hisashi began to draw attention. Soon he was approached by a group of girls. "Oh you are just so cute!" Hisashi smiled as he ushered them in.
"Welcome! How many are in your party today?" The party was of three. Niko sat them to their table. "What will you all be having today?" They all laughed and giggled as they gave their orders. Niko noted them all, bowed and left them to chatter about Hisashi. She then gave the order to the chef.
Soon after, the food was ready. "Sorry about the wait! Here you all are!" Niko passed out the orders and bowed. "Is there anything else I can get you?" One of the girls giggled and got up enough courage to ask. "Is that guy out there single? If so what's his name?" Niko laughed as she chatted for a bit. Then, with another bow, Niko went to the front in wait for the next customer.
"STEAK! Come get this STEAK!" Hisashi danced by moving his arms back and forth in front of him while shaking his hips. "STEAK! Come get this STEAK!" His dance seemed to pique people's interest a little more. "Hey! Nice moves!" A group of young guys followed by a few shinobi walked up. After an awkward high five, they were ushered in as well.
"Hello and welcome! I can seat you all." Niko quickly made a shadow clone, and walked them both to their tables. She took both orders at the same time. When the shadow clone was done, it bowed and poofed away and Niko knew the order. She bowed as well, then went to the chef and gave the orders.
When the orders were up, Niko made another clone. They both took the food to the tables. "Hey you're kinda cute! Wanna be my girl?" One of the young guys said. Niko smiled and thanked him but politely turned him down. Then she bowed and walked away. The clone at the other table was asked a question. "The use of shadow clones in a restaurant huh? Ingenious. Where did you get the idea?" Niko laughed and explained the old woman's request. Then the clone bowed and poofed away.
"I've got steak! You've got steak! We've got steak! Let's eat STEAK! We're running a special deal by the way! Buy one get one half off! Limited time offer!" Hisashi had become a promoting pro at this point. There was a crowd and the steakhouse now had a line. They were busy.
"Welcome! We'll be able to seat you soon! Until then, have a free drink on us!" Niko had a line of clones helping out now, from passing out drinks, to taking orders, to even making the food. Niko had turned this dead steakhouse into a crowded, packed, and bad a** steak joint. Business was booming and the old woman couldn't be happier.
"Oh thank you for promoting my store you wonderful man you!" The old woman hugged Hisashi. "Heh- heh! No biggie! Now about my payment..." He said rubbing his hands. The old woman smiled "Yes, yes." She made a motion and the chef brought a plate of steak. Hisashi immediately went to town. Niko laughed as the old woman turned to her. "And thank you so much for helping out today. I really appreciate you. Here's a full day's pay. Please feel free to come help me again whenever." Niko nodded as they headed off.
"It's been such a good day! I got some steak, you learned some moves! Alright!" Hisashi was really enjoying his transformation. Niko laughed as she walked beside him. He kept going on and on. She had loved to see him like this and it was nice to be out not only just training. She laughed to herself, before remembering what happened. The sharingan appeared in her mind. Niko shook her head. She didn't want to think about it anymore. After taking a deep breath Niko motioned to Hisashi.
Seeing how Hisashi could only be one place, Niko kindly strolled back into the steakhouse where Hisashi was sitting at a table surrounded by women. He really seemed to be enjoying himself, as he stuffed his face with steak. Niko shook her head, and made a hand seal. She released the man beast clone jutsu, releasing Hisashi's transformation as well. All the women got up and ran after seeing a large wolf sitting where the once handsome man was. Hisashi knew he was in trouble. He sadly hopped down and moped home with Niko.
"All I wanted was some steak. Is that too much to ask?"
The sights and sounds of the restaurant district were alive as they always were once Emiko had trembled there. During her run, she had fallen down a few times and looked a bit rough because of it. She quivered and made her way towards the oncoming crowd. So many fine morsels to choose from. So many delicious necks... There were much too many to just choose from and tail, that would take too much work and she was starving. Instead she had an idea that would bag her a good amount of food with minimal effort required.
The student let out a grin before then falling over and feigning going unconscious. She hit the ground with a this as many people would take notice of a small child just falling down. They all drew closer as they tended to do and tried shaking to rouse her. Emi laid still and waited for the best opportunity to strike. This soon les to one of the chefs picking her up and cradling her as he asked somebody to get a medic. This act continued for around a minute more before she struck.
In an instant, Emiko launched herself at the chef in question with her mouth wide open. She latched onto his neck and bit down as the sweet tasting red byproduct gushed into her mouth. The man cried as crowd surrounding them looked on in horror. Her prey cried out and tried to remove her but she continued to feed as mouthful of blood were swallowed, filling her stomach with pleasure. It took around three people to pry her off but she was already feeling better. She slipped from their grasp and then ran off to hide.
Weaving his way groups of patrons that crowded the streets of the village's restaurant district, Yoshiro was doing all he could to keep up with Emiko. "Dammit. When did she get so fast?" he swore under his breath. He was just thankful that he was well acquainted with this district, as it was where his family's noodle shop was. This presented him with an opportunity to take a shortcut through a narrow back alley that most people tended to overlook. With any luck, this would close the gap between the two of them.
Emerging from the alleyway, while his plan did, in fact, work out in his favor. He was met with a most grizzly sight. On the ground, a man that Yoshiro recognized laid clutching a bite wound on his neck, but this wasn't just any man. To Yoshiro's absolute horror, the man who had been attacked was his father, and above him stood none other than Emiko, her mouth stained with blood. It was easy to put two and two together, but this didn't make it any easier to accept. Emiko had seemed like such a kind and sweet girl when Yoshiro had met her earlier that day. Was she really capable of such evil?
Before Yoshiro could actually question Emiko though, she managed to break free of the crowd and flee, causing him to once more give chase. As concerned as he was for his father, he was more furious with the person who had attacked him. With his rage fueling his pursuit this time, he was able to finally catch her and he was able to confront her. "Hey! What the hell's gotten into you?!" he called out to her as he approached, his fists clutched in anger. For some reason though, beneath his rage, couldn't shake a small feeling of fear that had formed in the pit of his stomach. But what did he have to be afraid of? It was just Emiko, right?

That boy from before was chasing him. She could hear a pair of feet behind her hitting the ground with a bitter pace. She hurried as fast as she could to lose him until he managed to catch up with her after she was corner into a busy street. Emiko wiped her mouth of the blood that had pooled into her mouth before turning back to face the angry face of Yoshino. Those balled fists suggested he might not be too happy with she had been into since running away from him. Yet Emi could lick her lips as the child circled around him.
"Hey! What the hell's gotten into you?!"
"Ufufufufu~" She snickered, her crimson eyes showcasing her rather wild and crazed actions. "So delicious~ I hope your blood is just as tasty." Emi then launched herself at Yoshino, her erractive movements and fighting style almost impossible to really pin down.
The look in Emiko's eye was unsettling, especially when coupled with her maddening giggle. It certainly caught Yoshiro off guard, which would prove to cost him. As the crazed girl wildly launched towards him, he couldn't stop himself from taking a step back, taking him out of a proper fighting stance. 'Crap!' he swore in frustration. With all his weight now behind him, there was no way he could challenge her with a counter attack or even properly dodge, especially with how feral her movements were.
Despite being in a tough spot though, Yoshiro did have at least one trick up his sleeves to help get him out of this bind. Quickly stringing together a few hand seals, Yoshiro clapped his hands together and performed the Veil Technique. This produced a short burst of light that would hopefully blind Emiko for a brief moment and stop her charge. Of course, there was still the chance she would forge ahead but at the very least, this might save Yoshiro from taking a direct hit.

It would have felt great to pounce down on top of this boy and suck all the lovely blood from his body until he was but a dry husk. He didn't seem that strong but it certainly wasn't the case when it came time for his defensive measures. The flash of light caught Emiko by surprise. "Gah!" She came to a grinding halt while covering her eyes from the blinding flash. She grunted and would rub her eyes momentarily. "I can plat games too!" Gritting her teeth, Emi quickly performed a series of hand seal and then slammed both palms on the ground. Chains made of her chakra uprooted and swung down on top of Yoshino. They wouldn't aim to cripple or smash, but to bind. Some would begin to wrap around his arms and feet, then forced them away enough to be impossible to move.
It seemed that Yoshiro last ditch effort had been successful, stopping Emiko in her tracks. 'Damn. That was too close.' he thought, letting a soft sigh of relief. However, it would seem that his relief would be short-lived, as Emiko seemed to have some tricks of her own up her sleeves. After the girl slammed both palms on the ground, Yoshiro watched as chains swung towards him. He did his best to dodge the assault but the chains managed to catch one of his legs. He did his best to break free, tugging and pulling his leg with all his might, but eventually, the chains were able to take hold of his other limbs, holding him in place. "Damn you, you monster!" he barked as he continued to struggle against the chains.

Appearing alongside the smell of oranges, and the sounds of metal upon metal. The armored man appeared just behind Yoshiro. Patting him on the shoulder he spoke softly, but his words were not a question,"Sit tight kiddo." As he spoke, he stepped forwards to place himself between the two children with a different look than the one he wore before during training. With a grunt the orange scarf and silken strands around his waist began to flutter as he was encased in a burnt orange aura. Drawing his blade he took a deep breath and readied himself. Dropping into a wide, ready high guard. Sword resting gently upon the rim of his shield he spoke softly once more,"If you want a taste, come take it." However under the edge of his shield, hidden from view, the mans hand was open as if it were ready for something.

With her meal bound to the ground and ready for a quick snack, Emiko began a slow walk forwards to claim Yoshino as her own. Her mouth salivated at the thought of sucking him dry until there was no blood left in that lifeless body of his. And she would have to if not for another person stepping into their little fight. She let out another bestial growl and grit her teeth at this minor annoyance. "Get out of my way." Emiko warned Kairi, her tone deathly serious and completely unlike how the little student was. The pest drew his blade and held his hand forward to her in a taunt.
"If you want a taste, come take it."
Emiko got into another stance and surged forward at Kairi, her fangs exposed and bloodied with the juices of Yoshi's father. "I'll just eat you both!" She said in a hysteric state.
Continuing to pull against the chains that bound him, Yoshiro watched as the monster that was once Emiko approached him. 'Dammit! I can't go out like this.' What was wrong with him? These chains didn't actually feel particularly strong. He should have been able to break free with relative ease. Was there something causing him to hold back?
Before Yoshiro could reason through any of the questions flooding his head, he heard a person suddenly appear behind him. However, whether they were a friend or foe, he could not know. It wasn't until the person stepped forward and spoke that Yoshiro recognized them, though the sound of clanking cans was more of a giveaway than the voice. 'Oh great. This guy.' he groaned internally, rolling his eyes. Honestly, he wasn't sure what was worse, being eaten alive or having Kairi come to his aid.
Hearing, Kairi tell him to sit tight, a fire began to burn within him. "The hell I will!" he shouted. He then took in a quick breath before throwing his arms across his chest, breaking his chains in the process. He repeated this process for the chains that bound his feet, kicking his legs forward one after the other to free them. It took quite a bit out of him, but he was able to quickly shrug it off. "If you think I'm sitting this out, you're even dumber than you look."
Before Kairi could rebuttal, Yoshiro took off in a sprint, recklessly charging towards Emiko. If she wanted to fight like a wild animal, he would respond in kind. No brains, just instincts. Once he drew close enough to his opponent, Yoshiro launched himself into the air, forming his right hand into a fist as he reared it back and prepared to deliver a heavy swing. To his own surprise though, while in midair, his body briefly flickered with a bright light {1}.

This boy was starting to piss him off. He was the antithesis to how Kairi went about combat. Reckless and foolish, as opposed to his own, methodical relentless destruction. However the boys display would provide him with a useful distraction. Disappearing once more, the young man would reappear behind the young child. While it pained him to commit violence against a child he had no choice. He simply prayed that she would not remember her actions here today. The act of taking a life was not one he wanted her to have to commit. Not this young. Stepping forward he transitioned quickly to allow himself to direct a hard axle kick for the child's trapezius (the muscle that runs from your shoulder to your neck. Hes kicking her where that muscle meets the neck) If it were to connect, she would drop like a sack of potatoes. While not a lethal blow, it was quite good for rendering people unconscious.
Emiko grit her teeth, grinning at the opportunity to clamp her teeth down on their necks before Yoshino's act took her by surprise. His body began to flicker which made her stumble a little out of surprise. It was then that she noticed Kairi's leg falling down on her. The impact was hard and swift, pressure placed on the site of impact that knocked her out. The child fell to the ground, rendered unconscious by the combined might of her two friends. Mostly Kairi though.
