Kideme was a lot of things right now but she certainly wasn't fine. She was still exhausted, a little sleepy, her body ached and her system still wasn't at a point of electro-dermal radiation, which meant now she was cold. Then again she rather liked being cold, but the obstacle was still there. Either way, Kideme couldn't afford to focus on how miserable she was feeling, and her conscience had no reprieve to offer her mind for repose. Plus, between adrenaline and the fact that pain and fatigue were 70% psychological, Kideme was pushing through this as hard and as fast as she could so that she could go back to resting.

Her plans had been foiled when Zaiko was intercepted by one boy and thus was never able to call or probably even throw down a kunai. That was fine, Kideme had already laid down two conductors and she threw out a final one around the boy that was giving Zaiko trouble. However, before she could perform the seals necessary, her curse mark began with its nagging pains again  another boy appeared at her side. Her ninjaic intuition immediately kicked in and she couldn't help but smile weakly. She knew that by him physically coming up here with her and coming in so close that whatever he had in store for her, it would be physical, and though her body wouldn't enjoy the benefits of it, this was exactly what Kideme wanted since second to lightning....skin to skin was her domain.

The slight incline of his shoulder was all the indication she needed and Kideme stepped forward and wrapped her right arm tight around Gozuro's waist, taking his punch head on. Her left cheek exploded with pain and it throbbed with static but in that same moment, Kideme's left arm flew up and the heavy snout of her war hammer smashed into the boy's temple right behind  the ear. Let it be said again that Kideme was tired, aching, cold and ready to sleep, but also that Kideme was not a speed queen, her genjutsu was trash, and her stamina needed work. But there was one thing that Kideme had that nothing, or noone could take from her. Her strength. So when that heavy, double reinforced black hagane war hammer slammed into that poor boy's hand, it wasn't  the hammer's dense weight that caved in his skull, it was the power and drive being fueled by Kideme's fastly boiling left bicep, tricep, deltoids and posterior that pushed the hammer that bludgeoned his skull. And not once did she hit but thrice. Even if the hits didn't land as she wanted to, Kideme held that boy in place and continued to bludgeon him until either he countered with a hard enough strike to make her let go or he maneuvered to get away from him. But with her curse mark driving her crazy with pain and this stupid boy with rage, she let go of his waist to yank him by the ear and she brought her lips to the bleeding wound in his head, sucking at the hot blood and pulp that his open skull was practically drooling with.

In either case, Kideme pulled out another kunai and shot it seemingly toward the boy when it fact it zipped past him and landed right into the skull of the fallen Tatsu. This was to assure that he was down and that he would stay down. For good.

Zaiko:  Because of Zaiko's unique and familial-trained command caused the rocks and Earthly debris to practically bounce off the psionic dome that was created outside of his person. This, of course, took Rodan surprise but he wasn't finished with the assault. He acted as though he was too stunned to give chase to Zaiko as he went to shoot off his arrow. Too bad that his aim would be compromised when a sudden tsunami of snow stained  mud came rushing toward him in a massive wave. The Mud Spore that Rodan conjured was enough to not only wipe out Zaiko and completely knock him off his feet, but the mud was thick and cold with a potential to freeze AND drown him were he not careful. And since Zaiko was trying to help his other friend, Rodan thought he would help a hand! He promptly began to ran up a try and began making a rapid beeline for Kideme, beginning to perform another set of handseals.

Kideme: Gozuro's punch landed and it landed hard, and were it not for the fact that he hesitated just slightly from a suble shock of static, he probably would have broken something. But with his waist being grabbed he tried to hit Kideme again, only to be hit in the head with a hammer and it woke him up and put him out at the same time. Blood sluiced from the sickly dent in his head and though his vision turned fuzzy with colors, he struck at Kideme blindly, hitting her in the head one more time before that hammer got him a third and final time. Gozuro was already out of it when she grabbed his head and she tried to bite him. However, for all of Kideme's foolhardy bloodlust, the taller boy would fall on top of her dead. Or about to be.

With Kideme being trapped under a fresh corpse and her curse mark plaguing her again and Zaiko at risk of becoming a mud waffle....what was in store for these two?
