making friends

[Chronos]

Hajime stood, knowing full well that Alexz could only get stronger. He stared, and realized that Alaric's hammer was lying on the ground. He picked it up, and threw it at Alexz with blinding force. He also went at the same speed to kick him in the back, with alot of his force behind it. "Ok, anbu, let's see what you can do..."
****************************************************
Meanwhile, A fogbank swirled not to far from wear Twilight had setup camp. A form shifted within the swirl. It opened it's eyes. One red, one grey. Blood spurted from several cuts and scrapes across Itasuske's body. He had enough strength to make it to the shore, then he colapsed.

[Twilight]

*twi looked down over by the shore*

"itasuske!"

*twi ran over and pulled him to the fire, ripping some bandages and doing a few minor healing jutsus he sealed him up tight and the cuts disappeared from his body*

"stay with me buddy"

[Chronos]

Itasuske's eyes snapped open. "Stop. I can do this." He moved his hand across his body. "If you had sealed up all the cuts...." He said, as when he moved his hand across his body, purple stuff came out. "Then the consequences would have been bad. But thank you for starting the process. Now...." He tried to stand, but could only manage to get to his knees. "Where is Nakita?"

[Twilight]

*points over towards the camp*

"she's pretty pissed off right now"

[Chronos]

"Great news for me, right?" He said, with a hint of sarcasm. "Help me get there, will ya? I'll tell you everything when we get to camp." He coughed up a small amount of blood. "Don't worry, just get me to camp."

Kaori was tending the fire when Twilight suddenly ran towards the shore. A little bit later she saw him helping Itasuske over. She stood up and gasped out "Itasuske."

Kemino turned her head slightly at the noises. So he was back... wait he left?! Oh well. She shrugged. She saw Nakita look up. She slightly smirked. 'I wonder what's going to happen now.;

Nakita look up and saw Twilight carrying Itasuske. That was quick. She couldn't help but have a small smile on, Itasuske was wounded! From what she knew of him, he doesn't get hurt easily. "Looks like everyone meets their match one day," she said quietly to herself. Since he's hurt, she won't go bother him... unless he starts something. For his sake, let's hope that her fuse had remade itself.

*Alexz managed to dodge both the kick and the hammer, unfortunately Hajime had kicked the hammer and it headed right for Alexz. He quickly flipped down to the ground below avoiding the hammer and stood still gathering energy.* You're not going to beat me if you keep moving that slowly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Noah stood silent. His head down* Answer me woman?! What do you want?

[Twilight]

*twi carries him over to nakita*

"here...he's all yours"

[dragonjinchuuriki3]

"Oh gee thanks," Nakita said with a smile on. "So what happened to you, hmm?" she asked Itasuske. Kemino came over and looked over Itasuske. Whatever happened to him must have hurt. She'll heal him once he asks.

[Chronos]

Itasuske looked over the camp. "So, I've come at this point, huh? Well, can't say I'm surprised." He looked over them once again. "Alaric is dead by now. Alexz will be fine, and Noah....I can't tell." He stood up, flinching a little from the pain. Considering what he went through, he thought to himself, he was lucky to have survived, let alone be healing so quickly. "So, you are all probably wondering where I've been..." He started off. Then he started talking about the war. It seemed that even though the Taken were gone, the war still came to Konoha. But the enemies were different. No ninja attacked the village, but strange machines. He went on to say that Konoha was destroyed, He and some others managed to escape. It was a sad day when he saw the village crumble. But then, a weakness was found. Though they were near invinceable machines, a small flaw was found in their system. If one concentrated enogh chakra into one single point, the machines exploded on a massive scale from a energy overload. Once that was found, fighting them was easy. "But most of us died." He concluded. "He looked around the camp. "In fact, all of you, save myself and Twilight, were killed. I won't say how, but just know this. It is not a time for petty squabbles right now. We must realize our objective and Still take out the Taken. Then, form there, we move south. My apologies, Nakita, but i'm afraid that if you want to come with us, that means a longer time away from your father. I can take you to him right now for a brief period of time, or I can drop you back at your house."
*****************************************************************************
Hajime landed back on the ground. "So, my quarry has finally arrived. I would love to play with you some more, but if you will excuse me...." He disappeared. He was instantly by Noah's side. "Itasuske has returned."
*****************************************************************************
Soulcatcher giggled. "Well, aren't we the impatient one? Do you really think you can take us on by yourself? Remember, we gave you your power, and we can easily take it away." The ring started to burn like the sun on Noah's hand.

[Noah Hyuga]

*Alexz looked around perplexed. The chakra on his blade dispersed and went into his body, he latched the small metal piece onto the back of his belt and used shunpo to reach twilight and the girls in almost no time at all even though they were miles away* That bastard got away. From what I saw I could have taken him. I wanted to capture.....*He suddenly noticed Itatuske* The hell? Well hello there. *Alexz walked up to Itatsuke and immediately starts healing his wounds and dispersing a little bit of poison.* What took so long? How did the war go? I'm assuming it went well considering you're still alive, although damaged. How do I know? When I take chakra from someone I gather fragments of memories also. I saw You and the strange man that died fighting against some mechanical creatures.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Noah's hand burned, but he didn't worry.* The power I have gained is not that of the ring.....You can't take that away. I could kill you right now. So Hajime, Itatsuke really has returned? Then we must be off. *Noah suddenly kicked Soulcatcher into the small building across the road and through it* Don't threaten me again, or you'll recieve worse. Let's go Hajime. *Noah and Hajime dissapeared in a puff of smoke.*

[Twilight]

Twi stirred

"it seems my cousin is on the move again, I just felt his chakra level move from one area of concentrated chakra to one where there's barely any"

twi left itasuske in nakita's arms and walked back over to kaori

"kaori, it's been too long since you and I have taken a stroll in the monlight, I know it's not the right time for this but..."

he trailed off

"we haven't been on a date in a long time, I'd just like some normality for once"

[Chronos]

Soulcatcher smiled. It was a good thing that she used a puppet instead of her real self. She went up to the tower. "Yes, he has gotten stronger, but he is only one Ninja. Shall we speed up the process?"
***************************************************************************
Itasuske, now healed from most of his wounds, left them alll. He went to a small clearing in the forest. He looked up at the sky, realizing that this was the first time in ages since he had done so. Thoughts rushed through his head, and contemplating these things, he sat down and kept looking at the stars.

[Noah Hyuga]

*Alexz followed Itatsuke and stood behind him and looked up at the sky too.* What are you thinking? Can we stop this war from occuring?
