Vain: “Perhaps I sho-“ a pause, “No..No that’s not right at all” a frustrated sigh was to follow as a feminine figured wiggled on a tree stump, her glossy pink hues watching a small object in her hand. From a distance, one could see it was a small mouse…one that merely stood upon its hind legs watching the female with small beady eyes. As one got closer they would notice a few things off, perhaps it was the creases the animal had near its limbs, could of even been the thinness of the creature. In all reality the small animal wasn’t an animal at all, it was a creation, it was origami. Around the female floated a few sheets of paper, folding themselves almost mindlessly. The females name was Kin, a rather unique female, and young at that.(At least in the shinobi world.) “Ohhh boy, you are gonna look so cute when I am done with you Mr. Mouse.” She whispered, offering a short giggle as one of the sheets of paper folded into a small top hat which floated onto the origami mouse’s head. Radiant pink hues watched as the top hat connected flawlessly. Kin was unique with her skills, but what separate her the most from others had been the childlike behavior she expelled. It was bizarre, disturbing to some even. Kin’s eyelids slid halfway shut as she looked at the mouse, a blank expression rising to her face. “Still not perfect..” she whispered, her voice more monotone…she was clearly angry about something. With a deep exhale the paper pulled apart from the mouse and slid against her pale skin, it held an outline for just a brief moment before completely blending in with her skin. “Hmph..” was the only noise to voice her frustrations, but if one were to hear her speak of perfection, they would notice the tone laced with malice easily. Kin sat /alone/ deep within the woods outside Konohagakure, she hadn’t even questioned if someone would stop by, and if they did…It would prove to be very interesting for them. The sun was setting, the temperature cool, the breeze that existed earlier in the day was dead. Only the sound of the omniscient grasshopper song would play through the dense forest at this time.



 Guest_SnowmaidenBlue : ((okay)) Quietly she walked along, barely any noise left the girl as she moved through the forest. She had run again, fearing the connections other people sought. That was how she ended up here. Someone had simply asked about her, wanting to know her favorite color, or something small and silly like that. Yet instead of responding she had turned and ran. She had kept running until she reached the forest, where she slowed to a jog then a walk, her heart beat the only thing giving away her fear. As she walked she thought of what her mentor, her hero would say. “You can’t run forever Mai, not everyone is like them. You should make friends and build bonds, not hide in the darkness.” He was always telling her that. Always understanding her, yet pushing her to be more, to be better. Still she was afraid, so she ran, and kept running fooling herself into believing she could, in fact, run forever. Mai was pulled from her dark thought, though, when she happened upon the pink haired girl. Her dull green eyes looked up from the ground, and noticed the paper being folded, then noticed it being retracted into the other girls skin. Thinking of turning around and leaving, she took a step back then shook her head. She was just walking, and the girl didn’t seem dangerous. With that thought firmly in place she walked closer to the female, planning on going past her and deeper into the trees.





Vain:As the female passed Kin, her eyes opened wide as a large smile tugged at her cheeks. “You shouldn’t be out in the woods alone, it’s dangerous.~” she cooed softly, her head tilting slightly askew as she stood up on the tree trunk. It was now one would be able to see she stood at only 5’2, and due to her doll like appearance she looked relatively young. As the female continued walking, Kin offered a soft giggle as her pink eyes followed Mai’s body. A tension rose into the air as she continued to speak, “Tell me…do you want to play with me? It’s quite a boring evening...” again a subtle giggle followed as she hopped off the tree stump, beginning to follow the female. “Why are you out here all alone?” she questioned as she walked behind the female, a cold expression on her face. However, if Mai was to turn around she’d be met with a large smile and wide eyes as though nothing was on the pink haired females mind. “My names Kin!” She added as she continued to speak, regardless if Mai had answered any of her questions. ‘….’ The expression grew sourer as they went farther into the forest, her fingers twitching as she rested her hands in her pockets. Her fingernails dug into against the inside of her pocket, digging against the thin layer of cloth pressed against her skin’ such a thing would cause bruising later. A light exhale left her lips at the touch before a grin took over the sour expression. “So…what team are you on?” she asked casually, trying to sound as friendly as possible.



 Guest_SnowmaidenBlue : Hearing the girl tell her it was dangerous to be out in the wood alone, Mai raised an eyebrow at the girl, as if to say, “You’re out her alone too.” Then she continued walking. As she walked she sensed the girl follow her, then as her if she wanted to play. Shaking her head in response she kept going, unknowingly heading towards one of the training grounds. Mai was a little unnerved by the girls questions, and wanted to flee, but she kept her even stride, letting the girl follow her with little reaction from Mai. She ignored her question about why she was out there, then heard the girl offer her name. Not wanting to be rude she answered with her soft, smooth yet smoky voice, “Mai”. The trees thinned as they got closer to the training grounds and Mai was hoping she would lose the girl before she ran off and embarrassed herself. But Kin stayed with her. Sighing a little, Mai gave in “I am not on a team yet… You?” By then they had reached the training grounds, where Mai stopped, turned and looked at the girl with a slightly quizitive expression, though her eyes were still emotionless and dull.



Vain: In response to the girls remake Kin only offered a short giggle as she continued to follow the girl, she’d provide more power in her steps until she was at her side, her head turning giving her the large smile. “Ya know, you look like a Mai!” she added, giving Mai a thumbs up and a cheeky grin. “Sooo cool~” she added, huffing softly as they approached the break from the forest path. As Mai stopped, Kin did as well and looked at her, her brows raising, “Oh I haven’t been assigned one either, such a bummer man.” She murmured as she walked ahead, her arms stretching out at her sides as she tiptoed into the training grounds. The space itself was very open, a river and waterfall to the left and an open field. “So whatcha workin on?” she question as she spun around and looked back to Mai with a curious expression. Slowly, her hands dropped to her sides as her figure stood straight up. Kin at the moment had no ill intent towards Mai, but something deep in the back of her mind continued calling to her. Something that could only be described as animalistic. “Me personally, I just prefer the evening~ It’s so calm and quiet” she whispers as she shuffles to the river, her eyes watching fish as they swam downstream.



Guest_SnowmaidenBlue: Mai looked around, after receiving a response from the girl, and realized where they were. She had blushed ever so slightly when Kin said she looked like a Mai, and had muttered “Thank you, it was a name given to me recently.” Looking at the water she too watched the fish and the girl. “Yeah a bummer.” She said, not really excited about being placed with people who would want to know more about her. She hoped whatever team she was put on, that they all wanted to keep their personal stuff apart from the team. “The evening is a nice time of day… Not may people out, which is good, I think…” Mai softly said. She had figured the girl was not going to stop, so talking to her seemed the quickest way to get her to find Mai weird or strange and decide to leave her alone. Letting her green eyes wonder over the training grounds again, she felt a pain in her chest, a longing. Something she had never felt before, the desire for a friend, or at least a sparing partner. Holding her right hand to her chest an air of longing seemed to float from around the girl.



Vain: “I think so too.” She whispered as she stood up, her head turning to look at Mai. “Personally speaking, a lot of interaction is hard.” She nodded slightly, her pink hues shifting to the grass in thought for a moment. “But sometimes its good to have friends,” she pauses, her voice faltering to a whisper “It’s not as lonely.” Kin’s mouth went dry briefly before her eyes shifted back to Mai, the cheery exterior returning. “B-But hey let’s not worry about all that!” she held her hands up in defense. It was bizarre, Kin saw the same longing she had felt long ago and she wanted to assist ending that feeling. After all she felt four years of it and it was not easy. “Y-Ya know we should spar, maybe we can learn about each other that way?” Instantly Kin wanted to change the topic, she didn’t want to think about the loneliness anymore. “It could be fun!” she added, giving Mai a thumbs up. No longer had Kin been behaving oddly, rather now she seemed kind hearted. Kin approached people in a way to observe them, see how they behave. She had deduced Mai felt unnerved, but the look in the other females eyes, the way she held her hand to her chest, it spoke volumes for the quiet woman.



Guest_SnowmaidenBlue: Mai looked at the girl, examining her for several moments before she nodded. “I-…I have not had a friend before… It looks like it would be a nice feeling. But I am concerned that those around me will be hurt… I have done too much bad to receive such a gift…” Mai said, talking to this girl more then she spoke to even her aunt. She felt something, like a similarity between them, which made her wonder if she should have ran when she had the chance. “Too late to run now” She thought as she glanced at the pink haired girls face. Then her face tilted to the side in question. “A spar? To learn about each other? Fun… as in I don’t have to hurt you?” Thinking a moment she let a rare smile cross her lips. “Sure, Let’s spar.”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: “Everyone needs a friend.” Kin responded with a short nod as she held her hand out, her palm facing towards the female. “Aye!” she offered a soft giggle as sheets of paper peeled from her body. The sheets themselves danced in the air, never touching the ground. Clouds rolled past the moon for just a moment, providing darkness until the clouds rolled past. Once they had, Kin’s fingers twitched and the sheets of paper ceased moving. The sheets began to fold on their own, each taking the shapes of shuriken which spun wildly in the air before shooting off at Mai.(Six Shuriken in total) As they flew through the air Kin stood there, her formation unmoving. If the paper shuriken didn’t hit, Kin would pull her palm back in order to redirect them backwards towards herself, in which they’d once again take their place, spinning midair before her. “Let me see what cha got Mai!” she called out, as she began sprinting towards the auburn haired female. As she traveled, the shuriken moved in sync with her, taking their places to her left and right. Kin’s pinks eyes watched Mai’s movements cautiously, looking for any sign that the female was to attack.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> Guest_SnowmaidenBlue : Mai liked the girl, really liked her. She seemed to understand some of what Mai was, yet she accepted it, like Hiaate. Nodding, she back up a few steps, and got in her stance. Her knees were bent slightly, her arms at her side and her body centered. She noted the clouds above, and Kin’s floating paper. Watching it closely she waited, then dodged the paper shuriken by twisting, ducking and backflipping out of the way. When they returned to Kin, Mai pulled out two of her four kunai and held then firmly in each hand. When the other female sprinted towards her Mai stayed where she was. She waited until the female was two feet away then threw her two kunai, on to either side of the female. Mai then jumped into the air, over the girls head, and landed on her feet, facing the girls back. If the kunai had hit, small scratches would form on Kin’s shoulders. If they missed Mai would pick up the two weapons and once more hold them in her hands.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: As the kunai came forth to Kin, a wicked smile stretched on her face as paper sheets began to burst from her body, sheet by sheet would be pulled until nothing resided of Kin. Hundreds of black sheets of paper floated in the area furiously before recollecting in the air, taking the shape of Kin once more…However this time large vulture like wings resided on her back, holding her in the air rather flawlessly. “Come and dance with me, Mai! Show me your passion!” she called out, her hand stretching above her head as she looked dead into the younger females eyes. From the paper wings sheets of paper fluttered above Kin’s head, taking the shape of a Chakram which spun with such ferocity. Kin’s spin pulled back before springing forward, her arms shooting forwards which caused the chakram to burst forwards from its spinning shape. The paper chakram behaved much like a top the way it shot forwards towards Mai, and as it met the earth it began cutting through it as it made its way towards Mai, the paper that composed the chakram itself would be as hard as steel. If the female wasn’t quick enough the chakram could easily cut her apart, though this was not Kin’s intention…No, she merely wanted the girl to dodge it and prove her worth, to ‘play’ as Kin called it. If Mai were to dodge the attack, Kin’s hands would turn and make pulling motions to pull the chakram back the opposite direction. “Come on Mai! Show me what you got!!” she called, her voice loud and excited as her heart beat heavily in her chest.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Guest_SnowmaidenBlue: Mai sighed a bit when Kin turned to paper. Landing on her feet she grabbed her kunai and watched the paper reform. Seeing the wings, she was rather impressed. Crouching, Mai watched as the other girl formed a chakram, then watched as it came towards her. Jumping to the left, she dodged the weapon, and rolled to end up on her feet again looking up at the girl. Thinking for several second she smirked a little. “Dance huh? Never learned how, so sorry if I step on your feet.” After saying this she threw three of her senbon at the girl. Running towards the girl, Mai waited to see if the needle like projectiles would hit their mark. Two were aimed above either wings, while the third was aimed for the girls left leg. If they hit, the wire strings attached to each senbon, would wrap around the wings and leg of Kin. If they missed the wires attached would either drape over the wings, or continue flying through the air if they were deflected. While she was running Mai formed hand seals, Snake → Dragon → Rabbit → Tiger, then inhaled deeply kneading her chakra in her chest. As she exhaled the fire traveled up the wire strings towards the girl. “Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique.” Mai thought as she waited to see if her attack worked.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Heki: Walking into the training grounds was a lean young man who stood over 6ft tall, wearing a long-coat tailor cut for his catwalk physique over a white t-shit and regular shinobi leg & footwear. His long legs provided strides that each effortlessly covered more than a yard, his pace firm and up-tempo like that of a soldier or a man accustomed to walked long distances. But he didn’t at all seem like he had lived the hard life of one who trained in the most extreme places, instead, he could almost be mistaken for a noble in the way he carried himself with elegant flair; the ‘wings’ of his long coat waving behind him like a coat as his messy, but well-kept, hair got toyed with by the wind. Hands pocketed, a strong gaze set dead ahead, the man looked nothing short of utterly determined as he stepped foot into the training grounds. There were two Shinobi currently training, sparring even, as he saw the younger girl skillfully dodge the other’s chakram before replying with a stream of fire. They were having fun from what it looked like, entertaining themselves while increasing their level of sill; that was training after all, wasn’t it? –Not anymore.- Taking up position 5 yards to the left of Yuki, and to the right of Yuno, Okami only then made him presence obvious by an introduction that wouldn’t easily be forgotten. Stomping his foot on the ground, he released a shockwave of lightning chakra that would rip through the ground as it expanded like a dome that grew more than 10 yards wide while aiming to smash into both of the girls and send them flying into the water than ran through the training grounds; most likely suffering temporary paralysis. “Do you really think playing around will get you anywhere…. The Leaf needs warriors, Shinobi who’s been eye to eye with death. Shinobi who take every fight seriously. And that all starts right here, right now. Every move you execute you will execute seriously. If you can’t defend yourself against life-threatening situations your end will be met swiftly.”. Closing his eyes, and keeping his hands pocketed, Okami just continued to stand there, giving them all the time they needed to set up a possible counter and come at him. As for weapons, he wasn’t seen carrying any but one could only guess at what was hidden in his long coat.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: As Mai attempted to subdue Kin with the senbon and wire attack, her lips twitched as the paper wings on her back allow her to move backwards rather quickly, dodging the attack. Kin’s pink hues refused to separate from Mai and as she saw the hand seals being formed her figure flew high into the air, dodging the fire release attack. Soon a figure emerged from the tree line, never before had she seen the male. He seemed pretty calm for the most part but his existence couldn’t be ignored. As the male stomped upon the ground Kin’s eyes squinted slightly, and shortly following that she was hit by a shockwave, which seemed to expand in a dome like fashion. The blast knocked Kin several feet back but with the wings on her back she adjusted her posture and regained composure. For a moment her body twitched violently before she cracked her next, for her this was the way she attempted to brush off the paralyzing effect of the attack. As the male began to speak she lowered herself to the ground, standing about 20ft from her original location. The pink haired female herself levitated just a few feet off the ground, her pink hues staring at the man. “I don’t remember inviting you.” She called out, her tone growing sour as her eye began to twitch. The bloodlust inside her began growing as she stared him down. “But I suppose if you want to dance as well, we can~” she offered a short giggle as she glared at him her hand reaching out to him. “Such a shame…A pretty boy like you, throwing such disrespectful insults. I guess I’ll..” she pauses, her eyes fading a bit darker. “I’ll be a bit more serious…Just for you.” The tone was almost completely different now, as well as her stance. She didn’t wear a smile, only a look of hatred as her body structure was on edge. Her hand that had been outstretched towards him began peeling and with her arm went her physical form. This technique would be known as Paper flickering technique, something that allows the user to quickly move with the sheets of paper, becoming one with the stream if they so choose to, in this case, Kin did just that. The sheet came at him quickly reaching speeds of over 50mph. Soon the male would find himself in the middle of what seemed like tunnel of paper.(Unless he moved.) The second the stream of paper moved past him, a hand would form out of the technique, holding a paper bomb which she would attempt to attach to his back in a way so that most likely he wouldn’t be able to see or feel it. As Kin did this, in front of him another hand stretched out, kunai in hand to stab him if he didn’t move out of the way. Once this set up was finished, the sheets of paper curved in a upwards motion, recollecting into the air, thus reforming into Kin, who still had the vulture like wings attached to her back. “Come. Play. With. Me.” she muttered, her lips snarling at the man as she held her palm to him again, just waiting to continue this little game.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Guest_SnowmaidenBlue: Mai was disappointed that her attack hadn’t worked, but she continued to “dance” with the girl. She jumped up over the chakram, seeing the male appear in her peripheral vision. Spinning in mid air, she managed to turn so her feet were hit by the shock wave. She bent her knees to absorb the shock and was rocketed through the air. Ignoring the pain, she turned once more and bent her knees. When her figure hit the rock wall next to the waterfall she left a small crater as she once more used her legs to puss off the wall. Earlier when her attack with the senbon and wire strings failed, she had pulled them back to her and held them in her hand. Now she threw them once more, the needle like weapons digging into ground around Kins paper tornado. Landing on the ground several feet from the pair, she pulled the strings tight and knead her chakra once more. If the strange man had moved away from Kin’s attack there was a 75% chance he would go near one of her senbon. Mai felt the pain in her legs increase and thought she might have broken something, but she stayed crouched there her hands forming the first seal, snake. She would form the other three when the other girl was reformed, or if the man moved and landed near one of her senbon. At that point she would exhale and let the fire travel down the wire strings once more. If the man or Kin was kit by the flames they would only receive minor burns. If the man dodged her attack she would pull the senbon back to her, place them in their pouch and be ready to avoid any other attacks the man threw at them.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Heki: As he intended, things picked up to a higher level which’d force the girls into progressing faster than normal… It became clear, when they instinctively fought together, that they were very well fit to become shinobi. Okami’s yellow eyes first saw the taunting girl change into sheets of paper, while the other threw forth senbon, and never spared a second as he rushed forth. His hands were still pocketed in his open long-coat as the wind danced past his hair. But before he got far, Okami kicked off the ground and made a sharp dash to the right; breaking through the formation of paper before any of her hands could reach him, but seeing her do so from the corner of his eye as he looked back over his shoulder. In doing so, however, he was caught unaware by a string of fire that sent flames dancing in front of him. Their burning tongues lashing out close but to seemingly no effect as he continued to run and jumped over it, only his boots suffering some exterior damage, before then cutting a sharp corner so that his front side was facing Mai again as he continued to powerfully sprint, now towards her, while Kin’s sheets of paper were recollecting in the air. It only took him one leap to cross the water and get up to Mai’s altitude, where she was crouched against the rock wall, as he then aimed to slam both his feet down onto her form while she stored the senbon in her pouch. Expecting her to dodge, Okami would reach out his leg and aim to hook it around her neck if she tried to move, upon success he’d then swing his leg around to throw her down into the water face-first. A shadow then fell over him from where Kin was airborne as he raised his eyes towards her just after she asked him to come and play. In return, he smirked, and kicked off of the rock wall with enough force to leave vein-like cracks spreading from where his feet last made contact. And like a human bullet, a shroud of wind-movement encompassed his body as he flew straight towards Kin, not yet reaching her, all the while his hands had still never left his pockets.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: The paper began forming together, the location high in the sky out of range from Mai’s fire technique. Soon Kin’s body was formed and her vibrant pink hues stared the dark hair stranger as he kicked off the rock platform. With haste the pink haired female began to weave hand seals (Tiger-Snake-Ram), her eyes not once pulling from his golden hues. With a heavy inhale the female collected wind chakra to her mouth. A stray sheet of paper found its way out of her pocket, floating there for just a brief moment as Kin shot forth a vortex of wind at the male. As the blast of wind came at him, he’d see the sheet of paper that looked like an explosive tag being carried forth by the powerful blast of wind. The wind itself traveled quickly, giving the male only a few seconds to react, however due to him being midair it would easily prove to be a challenge. If the attack hit, the blast and vortex of wind would throw him into the water, from there he could receive broken bones or bad burns, potentially both. Now if he had managed to get out of this scenario Kin would follow up with her body pulling apart once more and she’d move to his location, directly behind him would be her intention, this would take a few seconds however but to Kin it was worth it. Even if she didn’t make it behind him she’d hold her hands up and from her paper wings hundreds of sheets of paper would shoot towards him, in attempts of binding him completely so that he couldn’t move an inch, as long as she was in close range this would be difficult to escape. Kin would hold her palm out and lower them both to the ground, if her binding attempt had been successful. If the male had sunken into the water Kin would stay in her precise location, studying where his body had landed. During this fight, she was aware of Mai’s location, but right now the stranger had to be dealt with.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Guest_SnowmaidenBlue: “The man is very annoying” Mai thought as she watched him fly through the air. She hadn’t been able to use her jutsu, so she had pocketed the senbon while Kim attacked. Watching the display, the corners of her lips twitched up a bit. Taking the senbon attached to wire strings out once more, Mai used two this time. If Kin’s attack had worked she would throw the senbon in an attempt to have one of them wrap around his torso and the other around his legs. If this worked she would pull him towards the ground, hoping to slam him into the dirt by the water. If he dodged Kins attack, Mai would throw both senbon, one at each foot, and have them wrap around his ankles, where she would pull, and slam him into the nearest object. She liked this spar. Like feeling like she was really fighting. Sparing with Kin had been fun, but this was challenging. If she wasn’t carful she could be hurt. She also knew her chakra was low, so she would have to avoid using jutus if she could. “I wonder who this man is… He never gave us his name” She thought. Her legs ached, so she knew she wouldn’t be able to move very fast, meaning she had to keep a far distance away from him until they stopped trembling.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Heki: As expected she tried to attack him while he was ‘trapped’ in mid-air; the opening he had been waiting for as he left himself looking like an open target on purpose. His hands quickly un-pocketed and formed the tiger seal before the powerful blast of wind had even been shot out and then nothing but a few sparks could be seen drifting in his previous location as he used the body flicker technique to pull his body in a crescent arc around her, and her raging winds, to re-appear behind her with a glowing right fist as he flowed lightning chakra through it. Even his eyes lit up as he threw his right arm out in a quick and powerful jab that left a blur of motion in its face before aiming to smash right into the center of her back with such great force that it could easily smash her flying all the way back into the rock wall. But there was a ‘nice’ little extra, as seen when a wave of paralyzing lightning would travel out from his hand and over her body, easily capable of stunning her for a few seconds. Depending on the density of the winds she might not even have been able to see him flicker away to begin with but regardless of the fact he’d strike before her body began pulling apart, or had only just begun to do so, and chose the center of her body to strike on purpose since it’d be the last part of her body to pull apart. And that would be the nasty part for her because the paralyzing wave of lightning would most likely stun her and stop her body from changing into paper after she’d be sent flying through the air, if she had managed to get the process going in time, in which case all or most of her physical body would have to endure the force of his lighting enhanced blow sending her crashing into hard stone. But before he could see his attack to fruition, Okami felt something wrap around his ankles as he was jerked down together with gravity already sending him falling down to the ground. However, his body was too big for her to simply swing around like a puppet so as she tried pulling on the strings to slam him into the most nearby tree, a few yards away from her, his trajectory hardly budged and he made landing two yards away from her. As he landed, in a crouch, he had reached over to grab both of the wires and used chakra flow to channel a thick and buzzing stream of lightning through them which’d spread at high speeds back to Mai’s hands/fingers to not only burn them from the shock, but leave her body temporarily stunned. Then, he jumped up out of his crouched position and backflipped while forcefully pulling back with his legs to pull Mei towards him. He timed it so that by the time he landed, she’d be a few ft away from his already incoming right fist that aimed to drive straight into her stomach and send her flying with enough force to snap/break the strings.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: Kin would notice his body vanish, and slowly she attempted to turn around. Unfortunately for her she was to slow and the middle of her back was met with a sharp jab. The initial strike caught her off guard and due to the force she was thrown into the rock wall, a sharp yelp of pain leaving her lips. As she traveled down to it she’d harden her paper body so that she’d crash through it and into the ground, her body bouncing against the unforgiving earth. The paper wings she had fell apart, her body surrounded by a vast collection of paper sheets. As she lied there, her body twitched violently for a few moments due to the paralysis. This time, her muscle tensed up so bad she couldn’t just break out of it. All Kin could do at this point was sit and watch as the male went after Mai. The pink haired chunin was exhausted, and she doubted she could keep fighting any longer. Kin continued attempting to force her body to move but to no avail. ‘Come on damn it’ crossed her mind as violent exhales left her nostrils.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Guest_SnowmaidenBlue: Mai was pleased when the wire strings wrapped around the guys ankles, and he began to fall. While he was heading towards the ground she spared a second to look over at Kin. The girl had taken quite a hit, and despite her usual feelings of not caring, she was worried about the girl. That second she took to look at her friend was Mai’s own downfall. When she focused her green eyes back on the male, he was in a crouch and had grabbed hold of the wire wrapped around his legs. Before she could let go he sent his lightning chakra through the strings back to her fingers, where they were secured. Biting her lip at the zap and burning feeling, she tried to release them, but her hands wouldn’t work. Before she could think of another way out, Mai was being pulled through the air and towards the male. For a brief second, fear shone in her eyes, but it vanished back to the dull, lifeless look in the same amount of time. Receiving the punch to the stomach mad a drop of blood fly from her mouth as she was thrown back by the force of it, landing in a crumpled pile on the ground. Groaning in her head she got to her knees slowly, coughing a few times. She wasn’t sure she could continue, but she would try to go on if Kin got up.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Heki: A violent spark of yellow lightning cracked out from between his fists as he punched them together, causing a small shockwave of wind to expand from between them, displaying that the lean built man had much more physical force behind him than one could guess on first notice. ‘Not done yet, ladies.”. His eyes flared up as he ran towards Kin, bounding off the ground with animalistic leaps before flying off with a final push that sent him barreling straight through what rocks remained in his way; causing fragments and debris to spew around amidst a dustcloud with a loud crushing sound. That very same dust cloud would temporarily hide him from view until he suddenly shot out fast enough to leave an opening in the dustcloud that tried, and failed, to cling to his form. It began to show more and more that despite his calm facial complexion the young man was nothing short of a brute who now attempted to kick the sitting girl up high into the air before jumping after her and aiming to roundhouse kick her on a diagonal line down into the water. After this last kick, he’d weave the Dragon - Ox - Hare – Dragon handseals while molding chakra in the pit of his stomach as he’d make landing on top of the still intact side of the 7 yard high rock wall.

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: “Shit..” she muttered, her body shaking more now as she tried with all her might to move, she had to…just one arm. That’s all she needed right now. The large pink hues shifted to her arm, focusing all of her energy in one spot. Slowly, it moved in front of her, shaking frantically as she reached towards the sheets of paper around her as she stared down the dark haired male. “I will never give up..” she whispered as the sheets slowly began to levitate around her resting body. Kin’s hand jerked, and the paper sheets rolled into very fine sharp senbon. As soon as the male took his last leap she breathe heavily her fingers recoiling as hundreds of paper senbon shot forth, moving in spiral movements towards the dark haired male. As the cloud of smoke covered them both, the paper shot forth, penetrating the dark smoke. Kin hoped this attack would strike the male due to him most likely attempting to use the smoke as cover as he delivered the ‘finishing blow’. If it did the senbon would lodge themselves in random locations upon his body, in that way perhaps this fight would finally be over. If the male somehow managed to get out of the situation, Kin would be kicked into the air, the roundhouse kick would knock her into the body of water, where she’d struggle with attempting to stay conscious. That would be the end of the line for Kin, and certainly a wakeup call.

<p class="MsoNormal">Guest_SnowmaidenBlue:  Mai was unable to see Kin, cause of the smoke screen. Holding her stomach she kept her green eyes on the smoke screen. If the strange man avoided Kins attack Mai would stay where she was and Put her hands up in surrender. She couldn’t take much more damage, and she knew it. If Kin’s attack had worked, when the smoke screen faded, Mai would get up and walk over to the girl, attempt to help her up, then look at the male with her usual emotionless face.

<p class="MsoNormal">Heki: With about two or three dozen of Senbon sticking out of his chest and forearms, Okami’s attack continued unhampered which finally resulted in Kin being kicked down into the water. But instead of launching a roaring blast of lightning down towards her, Okami exhaled a thick yellow smoke before jumping off the healthy side of the rock wall, down between the two girls. In that very moment where his chakra-coated feet hit the water, all of the senbon sticking inside him began to light up yellow before he clenched a fist, at which the needles began to vibrate before suddenly shooting out all around him; not harming anyone in the process although some of the lightning coated projectiles came a bit too close for comfort. None of this seemed to bother the tall male who shoved his hands back into the deep pockets of his open long coat and stared down at Kin. “Start training how to make your senbon denser, sharper, and shooting them at higher velocity.”. He then turned his gaze to Mai and walked over to her before extending a hand like a gentleman would to a lady in distress, gently easing her back up on her feet. “Work on your durability. Your body is weak. When a trap fails, you need one or several back up plans.”. Throwing  his hand up in a wave-like manner, Okami turned his back to them and walked away but not before saying. “Perhaps women are just weak after all?” And turning around with a taunting grin before his body seemingly vanished from sight and left nothing but a few sparks of lightning dancing through the air. <ac_metadata title="Kin &amp; Mai vs Okami"> </ac_metadata>
