| [center] The village was lively as usual people going in and out of shops doing their work cleaning up their porches, it was just another average day. A cool breeze drifted on through the streets carrying the scent of the freshly bloomed blossoms. Suddenly a loud gong rang out and people stopped and turned to look at the village gates a large number of people all wearing the same robes walked slowly in in two perpendicular lines. All of them wore what appeared to be katanas at their hips the majority had them tied into their sheaths there were four that were not the first and last of each line had their blades drawn but laying in their open palms to show that they were not a threat just for their own protection. Their slow walk was mystifying but instead your eyes were drawn to the lone figure in the exact center between the two lines, it was a woman in a beautiful kimono her eyes remained closed a slight smile touching her lips as she walked in unison with the slow motions of the robed men. But it got weirder from their. The long kimono would certainly been dragging on the ground if it were not four the many birds fluttering around her holding up the trims. It was like something out of a Disney princess story. The gong rang again as they entered the middle of town as they stepped up the stairs and found the town square. it was at this point the woman moved to the center of the area, she seemed very concerned with perfection and symmetry in her actions the two lines hurriedly made a square around her the unsheathed blades making up the four corners. the robed man in the middle of the front line stepped forward going down on one knee throwing his arms outwards and bowing his head then bringing his hands in front of him one over the other making a circle with his fingers and palms. Man: We apologize on behalf of our nation of Hitsuo'o for coming to your village unannounced. We are new to your land and did not have any way to contact anyone. However our lady would like to speak to your king or other like ranked individual. The woman remained silent as the man made his speech her eyes never opening her smile never changing as she waited for the peoples reaction. To be honest she had no idea what to expect not this was a whole new country maby they didn't even speak the same language. Were they savages? Were they higher evolved in their civilization than even they were? The possibilities were endless but she was trained well and neither her concern nor her curiosity would touch her face. |

It was at this moment that many ninja in black with white masks surrounded the group. They had their weapons drawn some were on the ground others on the roof more were scaling the walls and surely more were in hiding. The woman opened one golden yellow eye and looked around as the robed men surrounded her taking up defensive stances. Tension was beginning to soar on both sides. She looked at her men and then at the ninja. Surely these men in black were concerned for their village. While her own men were worried about the possible ambush on their Priestess. Anbu Captain: DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND SURRENDER YOURSELFS INTO OUR CUSTODY! Robed Man: HOW DARE YOU GIVE ODERS TO OUR LA- The woman in the center of the defensive circle put a hand on his shoulder and he immediately stopped talking and lowered his head. She then whispered something in his ear and you could clearly see the anbu tense up and that made the robed men raise their weapons in preparation. The woman knew it would only take one misstep on either sides part to cause an international incident and she had not come here to start a war. She whispered something else and the man turned his head he had a face like he wanted to argue but didn't. He bowed and stepped to the side and the woman stepped forward. Her voice was finally heard for the first time since they arrived It was gentle but was backed with a sense of majestic power. Woman: Hello dear warrior my name is Kohana Nanatsumi, I am the High Priestess from theland of Hitsuo'o. We have come in hopes of meeting with your- Anbu captain: WE ARENT HERE TO TALK! WE SAID DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND SURRENDER WE WILL FIND OUT YOUR INTENIONS AFTERYOU ARE IN CUSTODY! Robed man: DONT YOU CUT OFF OUR LADY WHEN SHE SPEAK! Again the woman raised an arm to silence her followers. She closed her eyes for a moment thinking and once she had composed her thoughts She opened them again. At this point the villagers were starting to back away anticipating an upcoming fight. Kohana: We apologize for not being able to fully follow your orders but we do not know if we can trust your words that you will only bring us in for questioning. If it is agreeable I will have my men set their weapons on the ground but our customs will not let us hand over our weapons to you. You see in my country a warrior and their weapon are one and the same so asking them to hand their weapons over is the same as asking them to hand over their lives. We mean your village no harm. She studied them as the anbu captain talked with his second in command. Deciding amongst themselves what they should do. |
| Siting on roof watching the whole thing going on and smirk took her face and kept watching the lady and everyone esl speek and as the thing went on she waited with such patience . |
| '' I AM ANGRY.... .....BECAUSE I FORGIVE YOU... ...MY ONE MISTAKE ... ...WAS BELIEVING I COULD CHANGE A WORLD INFECTED BY HATE AND CORRUPTION..'' - The Signless(The Sufferer) |
| The tensions were tight as the two groups stared eachother down. The anbu captain kept glancing at the group as he discussed things with his second in command. Normally leaf village would welcome new comers. But this was different. This group was very obviously militatized. And it was a large group refusing to hand over their weapons. However so far the group had not caused trouble. Announced that they were entering the village and the majority had their weapons tied down. The priestess watched the ninja as they discussed their plans. She was actually pretty nervous. What if they just decided to attack? She was sure they could hold off until her handmaids arrived but she would lose good people. At that moment the anbu captain jumped down and two of the drawn blades jumped in front of the priestess this made all the anbu draw their weapons and made the rest of the Hitsuo'o people put their hands over the ties on their swords. But the anbu captain put his hand up and the anbu re sheathed their swords.Seeing this the priestess threw her hand to the side and her people did the same. Anbu captain: we will allow you to keep your weapons if it is part of your religion. But we still need to talk. Why are you here. What do you want. |
| as Colara got from the roof and climb down to where she could hear them better as the priestess and captain spoke . she saw the people that surrounded the priestess as she looked at them .the priestess caught a glim of women watching her and her people . but as the conversion came to a close the women who was watching and listening was gone . |

| Kohana glanced as she thought she saw someone watching them. But then again everyone was watching them. And she already figured they had more anbu laying in ambush. She looked back at the anbu captain the wind picking up slightly making her heavy kimono flutter. Kohana: I have come seeking aid for my land of Hitsuo'o. Our neighboring country Tatsuya has just changed rulers. And while the previous king strived for peace amoung our lands the new one seeks only conquest. And for the submission of my people. We are capable warriors but we are divided as a country. While we do have peace and all villages are under my rule we allow each village to do as they please. And in this situation most have gone into hiding for the Tatsuyan military is massive in scale and we could not hope to stand against it. You may think this is not your problem but once he is done with us he will surely set his eyes apon your lands as well. We could work together to stop him. That is what i seek. |
| as Colara blends in the crowd , she found herself draw to show up but she stayed hidden from them and she huff at the last sentence that kohana words . in a low mumble under Colara breath: you say that now but he can wipe away anything you hold dear. as Colara turn to walk away she felt eyes on her . |
| '' I AM ANGRY.... .....BECAUSE I FORGIVE YOU... ...MY ONE MISTAKE ... ...WAS BELIEVING I COULD CHANGE A WORLD INFECTED BY HATE AND CORRUPTION..'' - The Signless(The Sufferer) |
| I Kohana apologises and walks past the anbu captain putting her hand gently on Colaras shoulder she thought about her words and closed her eyes giving off that fox face again. And flashing a soft smile. Kohana: You may be right. Maby we cant stop him. But it would be worse to let him take our homes and live as slaves both to him and our regrets than to die protecting what we care about. Ive lived far to long to roll over and die now. So i will stand and fight even if its alone. You should never just give up. |
| Colara gave sharp look and pulled away . Colara: I'm not giving up I have seen how much pain he has cause and even if you would stand alone , you really wont be you would have the sprits of the people who fought against him to help you .even if you try to understand how much pain is here even now . I have no home nor anyone in my life . I'm not going give up until he see the devil himself . As Colara walked away to hill where a willow tree was and she stayed |
| '' I AM ANGRY.... .....BECAUSE I FORGIVE YOU... ...MY ONE MISTAKE ... ...WAS BELIEVING I COULD CHANGE A WORLD INFECTED BY HATE AND CORRUPTION..'' - The Signless(The Sufferer) |
| Kohana opened her mouth but frowned it was hard to tell with that fox face of hers but it was definatly sadder than usual. She was worried about the girl she had hate in her heart and that was never a good thing. But there was nothing she could do about it right now. She turned back to the anbu captain and started talking to him she had to make her case in a way that would be benifitial for both parties otherwise the chances of them believing her let alone going to help someone they never met was not going to happen. After a few moments the captain nodded and dissappeared as did yhe majority of yhe anbu leaving only enough to keep an eye on the group. Kohana sighed she was very tired from the long journey here and she new she had to keep up appearances so she looked for a place to sit so she could remain dignified. She saw a bench and the birds carrying her kimono flew up to pick it off the ground so she could walk over and sit down. It was at this point a little girl ran up to her. The guards of tge priestess eyeballed her but kohana shook her head. The girl beamed a smile at her outfit. Girl: lady your cloths are so pretty are you a princess? Kohana let out a soft laugh Kohana: something like that sweetie Girl: im gonna be a hokage when i grow up so when i do i wanna be aprincess hokage. Kohana: hmhmhm you can be anything you want to be. You just need to work really hard ok? Girl: yeah im gonna do it! Ill be the best one! She said running off excitedly. |
| As Colara sat under the willow tree she hugged her knees and she felt the water racing down her face as Colara was wiping her unwanted water she saw that her sprit animal was sitting in front of her looking at the town and it people then the animal look at her. Colara: what there's nothing I can do about anything here and you know it. sprit animal: Young one you know that you need help anyone in this town and you haven't move from this town and now you want to leave because you think this women is going help this town ? Colara: well , I think they can get better help if they work together. so yes , I do . why do you ask me this all the time ? the sprit looked at Colara and smiled sprit animal: You need to go apologize to this women and help her on her quest . maybe in return she might help you .. Colara looked down at the town and let her mind race with sprit's words the she bit her bottom lip knowing that sprit was right and gave big sigh. Colara: fine , I'll do it . I hope your right on this Colara walks down to the town and finds Kohana in bench and makes her way to Kohana. when Colara gets to Kohana and stands before her and hand Kohana something warped up in hybrid fur. As the light touch this fur the color of fox and wolf fur and waited her Kohana open it before speaking. Colara watched Kohana face as Kohana touched the fur she was given . Colara: I'm sorry for being so rude early. It's just I don't like hearing people talk about a man who has the power to kill anyone and whole town so I'm sorry lady Kohana -bow midway and went back to standing- |

| Kohana took the gift with a fox smile and held it in her hand. She didnt open it just yet. Instead stood up and flipped her hands out then brought them back together and bowed as well the bells on her kimono becoming obvious with less commotion. It gave every move she made a chime. Kohana: there is no need to apologize to me. You are having a difficult time in your life i can feel it. Your ki is quivering. She said the word ki like it was common. Was she speaking of chakra? Who knows. Kohana: oh youve given me a gift. Um. Oh i planned on presenting this to your emperor but customs must be witheld. She dug into her kimono and pulled out a charm it was very ornate and expensive looking. This is a charm that is made in my clan. I made this one myself. It wards off demonic spirits. I hope you can find a use for it. She said as she handed it to colara. Kohana: you have met a man similar to the new tatsuyan king? I can tell by the way you said that although i suppose that would be a bit obvious to anyone. Do you mind if i ask about it? You dont have to tell me if you dont want to |
| Colara gave smirk and nodded Colara: thank you and yes long time ago when I was small this man who looked like this new king. well he claimed he want to build where we lived and our emperor told this man that we live here and you shall not build here and the man huffed and walked way. But the emperor brought us that fur thing that I gave you and told our family to give it to a women in a kimono with white fox ears she may help and see this and as we all lay asleep the man came back and destroying everything he burnt homes to the ground and killed everyone but my father hidden me with that fur. -points it- and told me to stay no matter what happens and I obeyed but when everything was burned to the ground and everyone murder. I found my father and I sat by him , until that man came back that wasn't until I was little older and he saw me the last of my people and he chased me for days until I lost him.And now as I get older I help anyone the best way I can. I normally leave places like this but something told me stay and wait so I did then I found you and gave you the fur .. As Colara sat there sighed and looked at the sky and look at Kohana |
| '' I AM ANGRY.... .....BECAUSE I FORGIVE YOU... ...MY ONE MISTAKE ... ...WAS BELIEVING I COULD CHANGE A WORLD INFECTED BY HATE AND CORRUPTION..'' - The Signless(The Sufferer) |
| Kohana worked her mouth as she thought. Her eyes squinted like usual. She was wondering how tgis girl knew she had fox ears. She was wearing her headress. But it didnt matter much its not lile the people here disliked the people of hitsuo'o. But now there was a bigger question on her mind. What was this fur thing. She certainly fit the discription. But that could be said about any of the women of hitsuo'o. She studied it for a moment making sounds of heavy thinking. Glancing at colera then at the fur thing then back and forth back and forth. Kohana: hmmmm mmm mhm. Mhm oh.... Hmmmm i dont know what this is though.... Im sorry i think you have the wrong person..... I apologize for not being able to help. Although if you know wht to do with it id be more than willing to do it. She said with a bow. |
| Colara took the fur item back and nodded and knew that the sprits where wrong then a smell came and Colara got up and her lips ready to bear up Colara: I so sorry for the sprits not being correct and I must go now Colara got up in a rush and dropped her beloved pendent that had her clan stamp and on the back had histsuo letter. As Colara ran fast as she could. Colara continued to keep going until she came to waterfall and went for drink until something caught her eye |
| '' I AM ANGRY.... .....BECAUSE I FORGIVE YOU... ...MY ONE MISTAKE ... ...WAS BELIEVING I COULD CHANGE A WORLD INFECTED BY HATE AND CORRUPTION..'' - The Signless(The Sufferer) |
| Kohana bent to pick up what she dropped and called out to her. Kohana: You dropped your pendant! It was then she looked at what it really was. This was definatly a Hitsuoite talisman. And it was old. She hadn't seen something like this for a long time. But why did this girl have one? What where the odds that there would already be a Hitsuoite here? and one she didn't recognize? This was most troubleing. She needed to get to the bottom of this she decided to follow colara. She made a gesture with her hand to what seemed like no one and started walking. Her meeting with the higher ups would have to wait, they didn't seem too keen on meeting her anyways. |
| Colara got her stuff and moved on to the next town and stady for one night then left at day break to move on to next town Colara trying stay away from the women she met hiding her prints and Colara climb a tree and slept for awhile |
| '' I AM ANGRY.... .....BECAUSE I FORGIVE YOU... ...MY ONE MISTAKE ... ...WAS BELIEVING I COULD CHANGE A WORLD INFECTED BY HATE AND CORRUPTION..'' - The Signless(The Sufferer) |
| Kohana tilted her fox face and frowned. She wondered why the girl was avoiding her so hard. And it was already hard to get around as is. Not only did she not know the area, but she also had her gaurds with her which made her stick out like a sore thumb and people continuesly swarmed her asking about her strange cloths and accent. Or her white hair. She was just glad she kept her ears and tail hidden. If her cloths and speach impressed people this much then imagine how they would swarm to those... The people here were definatly closer related to the tatsuyans. Although they didnt seem to possess ki or mana. What they had read similair but was....different in its use. Essentially it seemed to be the same the focused their inner energy to do as they pleased. However the way the did so was strange. They made weird hand gestures instead of chanting. Even the tatsuyans "mana" made more sense than this. At least they had to use an amplifier and make symboles for their technique. Maby that was the difference? Were they perhaps making the symbols with their hands? She would need to study this. On a side note this land was....loud. The constant yelling and noise hurt her ears. She prefered the slow paced and quite atmoshere of Hitsuo'o. |
| That same day Colara ran fast past Kohana being chased by the guards and they yelled out . '' get her she must pay for what she has done , block off all exists no one let her out '' Colara huffed for air and kept running fast and her way out was block and she fought her way through but was tired and already bruised and cuts all over and they took her to town square and came face to face with their leader and Colara looked up and wasn't scared of him . '' What is her crime?'' spoke the leader ''she was found on the tree of souls sleeping'' spoke the guard ''why were you up there girl'' the leader spoke softly ''I didn't know...that it was preciouses to this place if I knew I wouldn't have done it ... just let me .. band me that's fine but I'm on a mission .'' ''take her to a holding room for me .'' the leader told the guards and they violently dragged Colara to a room and threw her in . |
| '' I AM ANGRY.... .....BECAUSE I FORGIVE YOU... ...MY ONE MISTAKE ... ...WAS BELIEVING I COULD CHANGE A WORLD INFECTED BY HATE AND CORRUPTION..'' - The Signless(The Sufferer) |
| Several hour passed as colara waited in the room. It wasnt until nearly nightfall before the gaurd came back to let her out. He took her to the main room where kohana was waiting. Although she was missing her head dress. Her white hair and wolf ears showing. Gaurd: you are being tried as a citizen of Hitsuo'o the priestess hear has already made the arrangments. Although i wish i could deal with you myself you criminal. |
| Colara tiny growl at the guard then faced Kohana and sighed but Colara looked at Kohana and walked to her side Colara: Why help me huh |
| '' I AM ANGRY.... .....BECAUSE I FORGIVE YOU... ...MY ONE MISTAKE ... ...WAS BELIEVING I COULD CHANGE A WORLD INFECTED BY HATE AND CORRUPTION..'' - The Signless(The Sufferer) |
| Kohana looked at her shortly then closed her eyes in her normal kitsune face and tilted her head. She was obviously shoosing her words. Seemingly unknowing of the several eyes staring at her now uncovered ears. Kohana: because i believe you know more than your letting on. I also wanted to return your talisman. You dropped it She said holding it out to her. |
| Colara look at it and held it for a moment and sighed and she looked at the ground and frowned Colara: thank you , but you should have kept my talisman because so painful to have around |
