Rock

A 7 year old Kuriba is seen running across the grounds, she is being chased by a man, with a broad body and a large face.
"Kuriba please settle down" he says
"Nuh uh Daddy, you gotta catch me first!" she says as he is about to grab her she slides under a food cart, knocking it over.
"Look what you've done! You brat!" The cart owner says.
"Sorry about that, Kuriba you will pay this man back all the money he lost with this in today's sales." the man says to his daughter
"Yes dad" she says.
"That's right you will pay me back, but how you are just a child you can't be collecting money as a shinobi just yet its not like you are a genius you darn rude brat. In that case you will work for me until all of this is paid off" he says. The cart owner is then punched by her father.
"Don't talk ill of my daughter. I let the first 'brat' slide since it could have been a spur of the moment type of thing but to talk to my daughter or any other young girl or boy like this you are a rude man. She will work her payment off and you are to treat her with respect in return. She'll start tomorrow" he says to him, the man who was punched gets up shaken he sees the two walking off.
"Dad do I really have to?" she asks him
"Yes, and Kuriba please hang out with the other kids more I can't be playing these games all the time." he says to her.
"Really, Kuriba I want you to grow up normally. I want you to make friends, chat with girls about boys, the squuel when ever you see a really handsome man. I love you but I would like for you to be more social" he says to her, she just looks down.

Ninshua is seen roaming the village, near here are a few of her friends.
"Hey, Ninshua-kun how'd the mission go, see anyone exciting?" one girl asks in a flirtatious way.
"No not really. It was pretty standard really. Asuma sama is not using me to my potential." Ninshua says lightly. the flirtatious girl puts her finger on her lip and gives off a chuckle.
"Well no offense but be...." she starts before Ninshua cuts her off.
"But between me and my brother, my brother who as more experience which one do you think will get the more prestigious missions? Of course him. Still wish to be a bit more recognized." she says
"Don't let it worry you, you are Hokage material that should count for something." the other girl says to her.

A young Tsume and a young Toku are seen.
"Haha, sensei sure looked silly today didn't she?" he says laughing in delight.
"She sure did." she says trying to make the same face her sensei had, she holds her index fingers downwards as if there were large teeth.
"hey look its your sister" he says pointing out ahead is Tsume's four year old sister Izikia.
"oneesama! you are back. Grandma is giving daddy a mouthful again" she says in a cute little girl way.
"I see. Such a hard old women she is."

Ito/Lunei/Soare Flashbacks
_____

Grass (10 years ago)


Ito sighed as he curled up on his bed. He had refused, once again, to study his chakra watching and was now being punished for it. His father was not upset, rather quite pleased that his son would rather peruse more leisurely activities on a day as nice as today, but the elders had set to complaining and so he was now confined to his room until he chose to come out to study. And he was just about to cave, after sitting in his room for three hours, when he heard a rustle from outside his window.
Getting up to check it out, he smirked as he spotted two badly hidden individuals fighting in the bushes directly below his window. Quietly he called out to the two, recognizing them as soon as he spotted them, and laughed a bit as Lunei punched her brothers shoulder. "See! I told you he would hear us you dumb ass!" She said as she pouted, making her way up the tree next to Ito's window.
"Not my fault!" The brother, Soare, quietly yelled as he followed his sister up the tree. However, his reasoning did not placate his twin sister and instead she just jumped from the branch closest to the house into Ito's room through his open widow. In return Ito hugged her and sighed as Soare followed Lunei into the room and sprawled out on his bed. "What are you doing here? I've been banished from the grounds until further notice..." He started off as he let go of Lunei and hit Soare over the back of the head, who then chose to speak up. "We're hear to break you out!" He claimed enthusiastically. "The elders can't restrict you here... it's not fair. You already did your morning lessons... Why can't you come out and play?"
Ito sighed as he heard the question, one that had been asked many times before, and in response he gave the same answer. "I can't because I'm the next one in line to lead the clan. I need to... be here." He said with a sigh. He wanted to go out, to play with his best friends, but he knew he had other responsibilities, ones more important. Although, one afternoon couldn't hurt, could it? "But... it seems like the elders are running the show, does it not?" He asked with a small smirk beginning to show on his face. "Let's go out and have fun!" He exclaimed as Lunei began to laugh, hugging her friend again. "Let's go!" She said between giggles.
___________________________________________________

Grass (6 years ago)

Ito sighed as he waited, everyone besides his target needed to be out of house before he made his move, he couldn't risk going in too early for fear he would be caught. From his vantage point in the bushes he watched as three figures left, shrouded by moonlight, and meandered out of the compound. Hesitantly he decided to wait, only a few seconds more, as he scanned the house for chakra signals and pathways. Finding only residual glimpses he smiled and stole his way carefully in through the open hallway window.
Silently he cloaked his chakra flow and followed the well worn rug into a small living room and up a flight of stairs. At the top step he paused, scanned the house again, and continued on. Nervously he stalled in front of a closed door, adjacent to the stairs, which was open just a crack. Light flooded out of the opening and lit the hallway with an ire blue green glow. Using his bloodline once again he mapped out the entire room and smiled as he spotted his target, casually sprawled out on the bed. Pushing the door open he silently took a deep breath and sprinted into the room. Gracefully he jumped, arced, and landed with a flop on the bed next to his target... who proceeded to beat Ito upside the head, giggling as she went.
"What, in the name of all things Grass, are you doing here?" The girl asked as soon as she could breathe again. Ito smiled, shrugged, and turned onto his back with his head turned to face her.
"Figured since no one else was home, and you were all alone, I would come over and make sure you were protected." He said slowly, quietly. The girl just nodded and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Are you sure about that? I can protect myself you know. We've been on the same team forever..." The look was accusatory, but not in a bad way. No, it was more happy than anything else.
"I may have come... To get some alone time with you. Your brother does get on my nerves some times." Ito said slowly... Lunei just nodded and mmhmm'ed.
"He does... And now more than ever since we... you know."
Lunei nodded again. She knew this moment would be coming for a while. Ito had been ignoring her for a long time, gathering his thoughts she new, but it still worried her somewhat. "So, are you gonna kiss me or what?" She asked finally, not looking at him, instead she had her eyes closed and was twirling a bit of her hair between her fingers.
Ito laughed a bit... then leaned down and kissed her. Only to have her lean into the kiss with a smile.
_______________________

Grass (5 years ago)

Ito stood frigidly, staring at the large marble monument that stood before him. He ignored everyone else, all the people lying flowers on the lower parts of the monument and all the wails that were coming out of their mouths, he could barely take it. He hadn't moved from his spot in front of the monument for hours now. His father had tried to persuade him to join the rest of the family at the Balans house, both Balans elders tried to persuade him to join them, but he couldn't bring himself to stop starring at the two newest names on the monument. Lunei and Soare Balans. He felt responsible for their deaths, and even though everyone had insisted he wasn't responsible, he couldn't help but feel it.
He had been the team leader, he had been scouting out the area, he should have known that it wasn't safe. That it was a trap they were walking into, not a simple information grab and go. Reaching up slowly he traced both of their names. The straight of Lunei's L and the curve of Soare's S... he felt like he was being burned alive, a clod numbing burn that no matter what he tried he couldn't shake. Soare had been his brother... And Lunei... Lunei had been his everything. How was he suppose to move on now?
________________

Grass (5 years ago)

Ito sighed as he sat before the panel of elders, he had a feeling he knew why he was called before them, but he wasn't completely sure. Deciding to wait until spoken to, Ito studied the floor in front of him. Sooner rather than later he heard one of the elders cough, and he looked up to see his father had slipped into the room as well.
"Ito, we realize that the recent deaths of your fellow team mates has hit you rather hard..." One elder began, only to be cut off by another.
"But we have decided that it is time for you to move on with your life. To form a new team, to-" The cough that had brought the meeting to a beginning interrupted the second elder from speaking, and this time he noticed it was his own grandfather, the eldest family elder, who coughed.
"Ito... I watched you and your teammates grow up. Young Soare and Lunei," Lunei's name brought a twinge of pain to his heart and he visibly winced, "were no doubt part of our family and have been given honorable respect upon their deaths... but they would not want you to wallow in your own self pity. Yes they would want you to grieve but healing is part of that grieving process. Ito, we are giving you several options. I realize, more so than the others, that you may not want to immediately rejoin a team and take on that responsibility." Here he paused, letting what he said to the boy sink in.
"So, here is an option. You may take on solo missions... Tracking and observing mainly. Or you may start on your own private project to expand our knowledge about our bloodline... Or you may take up apprenticeship with one or several elders. But you must do something young one. You are to be the next clan head Ito. You need to expand your powers and take on that responsibility." Ito nodded slowly, he knew they were giving him several easy outs...and that sooner or later he would have to choose one, or several, but he also felt that there would be a but coming.
"But we must not forget that there were gaps in your leadership." One of the other elders began, "And for that there must be consequences." Almost all of the elders nodded, save for his own grandfather and one other.
"You will be set back Ito... No longer a chuunin but a genin yet again. Once we feel that compensation has been atoned for, you will be able to advance. Although while on the compound,you will be treated like a chuunin... And have all the proper advanced training." Ito nodded and waited, although when it looked as if that was all he stood up and bowed.
"I will let you know which option I choose soon enough Elders." With that they nodded and Ito left the room. Hearing them debate about other matters through the closed door on his way out. He had decisions to make now, and that meant thinking, although he found lately that the only place he could think was the memorial monument. Sighing he headed that way.

Takuma/Tsuin Flashbacks... :)

Rock (12 years ago)


With a sigh Takuma sprawled out on a rock near the rivers edge. Slowly he swirled the water around, creating little rip tides in the river as his twin practiced his crystal control. Both boys were relaxing after a hard day of training with the elder Matasuri males and Tsuric boys... and were currently enjoying their free time. Although they knew sooner rather than later they would be off to per sue harder more dangerous things with their select teams. Gratefully they had both come to peace with their daemons a long time ago... though through the changes of puberty came new issues to arise with their daemons. Takuma noted that although his brothers daemon was relatively calm, it needed more force now to be kept in line. And it would be set off in rage easily enough, with slightest provocation, when Tsuin's hormones peaked. Especially if his brother was even remotely interested in any one in particular. Personally Takuma thought it had to do with his daemon being rather over protective of Tsuin but that's just speculation.
Forming little water spouts Takuma reflected on his own control issues. He seemed to wake up, every morning lately, in a frozen wasteland of a room which he would then have to thaw before every one noticed. And this morning, when he awoke, he found that the wasteland was not limited to his own room, but had spread to his bathroom as well. He had debated on going to the family elders, but he doubted they would know what to do. He didn't want to risk being forced into a sealing ceremony... which was a possibility. For he did not want to lose touch with his daemon, it meaning more to him than anyone else could possibly realize (except, maybe, his twin).
With a sigh he shot a light blast of water over in his brothers direction. "Let's head back and grab some food... I think we need to talk."
Tsuin just eyed him up but ended up just nodding. Forming a single person crystal bridge he walked over the river to where his twin stood and shot him another look, one that clearly asked what they needed to talk about. "What's there to talk about?" He asked, a hint of curiosity laced his voice. Takuma just shook his head and looked around the area. There were commoners here and he didn't want anyone over hearing what they shouldn't. "Not here Tsu... Just wait to we get back and get our rooms secure." With that he turned, knowing his brother would follow without question, and smiled when he heard the others foot steps.
________________________

Rock (10 years ago)

"Are you sure that we've done enough preparation?" Tsuin asked as he finished securing the small clearing. No one would be getting in to disturb them, and if anything went wrong nothing would be getting out either. No one would be able to see or hear what they were doing either... Which was an added benefit.
With a nod of his head Takuma sighed... "Yeah Tsu, we're ready." Looking around the clearing, and noting that all their material was set up like they planned, he let out the breath he'd been holding. "We're ready. We've walked through this. We've communed with our daemons. We decided this was the best strategy." He said with a light smile. Checking over the special inks once again he sighed and took off his shirt, his brother doing the same.
"And the elders agreed?" Tsuin asked quietly. Takuma nodded as he sat down on the ground next to the supplies, waiting for his brother to join him. "Agreed, you were there Tsu, calm yourself. Feel your inner daemon. She's not fighting this... I think you're just scared that this will go wrong. Trust me Little Brother." He said slowly, quietly. "We're doing this to protect our family... We're doing this to protect each other... We're doing this to increase our control... and we're doing this to increase our power. I have all faith that we'll be fine."
Tsuin nodded silently as he sat down, scanning the supplies for his tattoo gun. "I have faith..." He said slowly, "It's my artistic ability I doubt." A smile had spread across his face and he readied himself. "So, who's going first?" He asked as he looked over the inks himself.
"Do you remember the sealing symbols and other seals we decided on?" Takuma asked with a smile.
Tsuin nodded and sighed... "And the ones we customized and designed... And the one's the elders helped with. And the final pictures that will represent where the tattoos actually start in visible ink. And I also remember the jutsu we developed to see the ink as we inject it." He said as he filled his gun... Takuma let out a laugh and motioned for Tsuin to start... Moving closer so that as the process went on he could lean against his brother. He knew that this process would take a long while, while being extremely taxing.

Rock (8 years ago)

Tsuin stood out overlooking the river. He was waiting on his brother to get back from a lone mission and he was getting fidgety. After watching the area for an hour he finally spotted his brothers form on the horizon and in a flash he met up with him. Using not only advanced speed but daemon chakra as well to speed up the short jump. "How did it go?" He asked curiously... he had gotten bored and since there were no single missions currently available he really had nothing to do.
"It went well... Simple really. Just an informational grab and go; not much else was involved." He said with a sigh as he patted the scroll in his pocket which he had to deliver still. "Walk with me." He said, throwing an arm around his brothers shoulder as he went.
"Are we still on for tonight or...?" He asked quietly as they walked threw town. Takuma just nodded with a smile. Every other month, like clock work, they returned to their secure clearing in the woods. To not only check on their seal work, but to enhance and modify it. They had more access now to their powers than they ever could have wished to have had without them.
"Everything's in place, went to set it up this morning and secured the premises before I left." Tsuin explained as they walked. Quietly as to not alert anyone but not so quiet that Takuma couldn't hear it. Takuma nodded again...smiling.
"Oh... I met some one on the mission." Takuma said with a smile. "She was nice... Kind of a loner, had a cat." he explained with a laugh as he watched his brothers mouth drop.
"You think a girls nice? How in the world did this come about?" Tsuin asked in obvious confusion, he could have sworn his brother told him he was gay.
All Takuma could do was laugh... "Not like that... Ew. She's a nice person. She's... one of us." He whispered quietly with a smile. "I think you'd like her. If you ever meet her... Her name was Alex."

Rock (6 years ago)

Takuma sighed as the needle pierced his skin. This was, if all goes as planned, to be the last tattoo session which will hopefully finish their extensive seal work. And to be honest, Takuma was going to miss the needle piercing his skin. It had become almost a comforting process..
"Last one... all i have to do is finish off this last seal and we're good Taku." Tsuin muttered as he guided the needle over the clear skin patch on Takuma's lower back. "And as we've tested... We're good to get tattoo's over these. Although no one will ever know they're here." He muttered. Finishing off the last loop on the seal before smiling and patting his brother's shoulder. "Done."
Flexing his muscles Takuma sighed as he got up. He'd been laying down for the past hour, completely still, and he needed to move. Looking over his shoulder he attempted to see the tattoo on his back but it was no use. From this angle he just couldn't see it. "Now then... We're safe to go full power on peoples arses." He said with a smile... one that matched Tsuin's.
"Well, almost full power... but it's the close-est we'll ever get at this point." He amended, smirking as he flexed his own muscles as he stood.
"Shall we test them out then?" Tsuin asked, as he banished all of their supplies back into its scroll. Takuma nodded and flashed several meters away, yet still secure in their clearing. "Let's get this party started!" He said as he sent several freezing blasts at his brother. All of which missed purposely yet froze the area surrounding him.

Ki Flashbacks!

Tea (12 years ago)

Ki sat with her knees pulled to her chest, arms wrapped around them, trying her best to disappear. The only noise that rose to her ears, above the roar of the rain and the crash of the thunder, was the yelling coming from the floor below. She could hear her mother cry out, her desperate attempts to evade the man she married, then nothing. It was as if her mother had given up all hope and just subdued herself to the torture the man that was suppose to love her was about to commit. However, in the next second, she heard a strangled cry that ended abruptly.
Against better judgment Ki rose from her bed, silently walked over to the door, and peered out onto the landing. Seeing no one about she crept out of her room, down the stairs, and found her father standing over her mother. She wasn't moving and there was a pool of red stuff, what she guessed to be blood, pooling out from under her body. She wanted to cry out, wanted to run to her mommy and cry, but she knew she could not let her father see her. Silently she slipped back up stairs and disappeared back into her room. Slipping under her bed she pressed herself up against the wall and clamped her eyes shut. Praying that this was all a dream was the best thing she could do as the rain continued to pound on the roof.
______________

Tea (10 years ago)

Ki groaned as she shot out of bed. The sun was high over the horizon and by her calculation she noted that she over slept. Swearing silently she slipped into the sun dress her father had bought her the previous day, noting that it was a size and a half too small, and rushed downstairs. Thankfully the old man was still asleep and that gave her time. Quickly she started on breakfast, a breakfast for a king or else she would be beaten like a slave, was her father's newest favorite saying.
Pulling out plates and bowls she set them on the table, careful to not make much noise, and set out the food. Slowly but surely she made her way to her father's room, making sure to be as quiet as she could until the last minute. Raising her hand she was about to knock on his door but was taken aback when it opened. She noted the way he eyed her dress up, it was something he'd been doing more of lately, and spun her on her heal. Turning her so she could just march back into the kitchen.
Sitting down at the table she waited to eat her food, like she was taught to, until after her father had finished his own. Only when given permission did she actually begin to eat, and such awkward eating it was, as her father watched her every move like a hawk. She felt his gaze on her lips, her hands, and even when he stood behind her he felt his eyes on her body. It sent shivers down her spine. And as soon as she finished eating her breakfast her father announced that they would be staying in today. Normally on Sunday's, after she washed the breakfast dishes, her father would escort her to church. But instead, once the dishes were dried and put away, her father escorted her farther into the house, into his den where she was never allowed before. The last thing she thought of before he closed the door, was that she didn't like this new change in their routine, not at all.

_____________________

Tea (5 years ago)

Ki laid on the bed, too sore to move. She didn't want to think about what just happened, how the man she was suppose to trust the most just took advantage of her... again... instead she planned her latest escape. The last sixteen hadn't worked, her father had too many friends (clients she should say), that the farthest she'd been able to run was the next town over. And even there, after she had told her story, they didn't believe her and immediately called up her old man.
Slowly getting off her bed she made her way over to her bathroom. Past the "security bar" covered window, which she scowled at, and sighed as she turned her shower on. It was going to be a long day, for her father had been rather cruel this morning, and she knew that she had better be ready in case any early morning suitors showed up. "Suitors", like she had any choice in the matter, but that was what her father called them, and that was now how she thought of them. It eased the pain of knowing what they actually were.
Slipping into her latest sundress, pink with white lace, she sighed. He made her look younger each time and she was waiting for the day when one of her so called suitors forced her into a nappy and bonnet. Taking a deep breath she slipped back into her room and briefed a glance out of the open window. Open, but not unbarred. Letting out said breath she wished she was free... that there were no longer bars. Even her powers, her freezing abilities, were no match for her fathers suitors.
Before each suitor joined her in her bed he taught them a jutsu; one which repressed all attempts of escape. And she was pressed for a way out. Once she got close, to discovering what it was, so she could try and form a counter to it, but it was no use. She failed and was, in turn, beaten horribly for her attempt. Sighing she waited to be let out. It was almost meal time and she knew if she didn't force something down she would suffer another beating.

A ten year old Alex wiped sweat from her face, studiously ignoring the heat of the midday sun. She was exhausted and had been at this since dawn, but she couldn't bring herself to care because she was doing well. "Again?" She asked verbally, thinking the question as well. I was so close, I could feel it! She was practicing the summoning jutsu that the Nibi had told her about, and that she'd then gone to read about. Three weeks after getting her summoning contract, she hadn't had much progress, but it was certainly enough. Her problem was the sheer amount of chakra needed and her hesitance of drawing to much of the Nibi's chakra out at once.

She looked around the clearing that she'd picked out for herself. It was surrounded by trees that had grown close together, and there wasn't much she could damage without losing a mass amount of control. One more time.

Alex nodded and bit her thumb, only slightly irritated that her enhanced healing had stopped the bloodflow already. Once more, she flew threw the handsigns to the jutsu, drawing as much chakra as she dared to use and throwing it into the jutsu. She'd long since grown used to the poof of smoke that accompanied the technique, however this time when the smoke cleared, she'd summoned more than a kitten.

The girl quickly crouched down next to the sleek white cat that appeared before her, dipping her head in a bow. If there was one thing that she'd learned from Mataneko, it was that cats could be finicky creatures, and she knew better than to offend a summon. The cat regarded her with crystal blue eyes, looking faintly amused. He dipped his head in reply, and laughed quietly, "So you're the one who's been trying the summoning jutsu. It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Aimaru."
---------

(10 years ago)

Alex walked down the street with Aimaru at her side. Over the past two years the summon had become her constant companion, guardian and teacher, much to the surprise of most around them. The duo was currently on their way to meet her team, and Alex was both eager and a little concerned; who knew how these people would feel about jinchuuriki, after all? Ai looked over to his charge, "Breathe, Alex. I will gut them before they even consider hurting you." His voice was reassuring as he flashed her a cat-smile, full of fangs. "Besides, if worse comes to worse, consider this an extension of your training."

With you, everything's training,
The pre-teen thought back, mostly joking. Here goes nothing. Shortly after that, they approached training field 5, where another girl was arriving. A young woman -their sensei- was there, and talking with a boy from mist. Alex surveyed her team critically as they approached and ran a hand through her shoulder-length black hair. For a moment there was silence, before the sensei clapped her hands together and spoke. "Right then, introductions! I'm Kamila your sensei."

The girl, who Alex saw was from sand, spoke next, "I'm Sola." Alex noticed briefly that the girl gave her a concerned look, but didn't comment on it. "I'm Alex," She said simply. "Yes, I'm the Nibi, and it's nice to meet you."

"I'm Masu," The boy said, running a hand through sandy-blond hair. "So teach, what's our first test?"

Alex's eyes flashed with irritation, "Introductions aren't over yet." At her side, Aimaru surveyed Masu. "That's rude." Especially when he can eat you. Aimaru purred a laugh at her side, shaking his head lightly.

"Sure they are!" He paused, looked over to Aimaru and laughed. "Or is your little kitty going to introduce himself too?"

Alex exchanged a long glance with Ai and smirked, "Now that you mention it." The cat shifted to his tiger form and flashed fangs at Masu, "I'm Aimaru, a summon. You'd do best to respect me next time, I have little patience for foolishness."

Alex cackled, she knew for a fact Aimaru had more patience than any human adult she'd met thus far. Masu however, didn't know that, or that Aimaru wouldn't attack unless he truly deserved it. Kamila laughed softly and smiled. "Right then, now for your first test!"

"You ready for this?" Alex asked her summon as she stretched lightly. The fourteen year old was preparing for a solo-mission (or almost solo-mission, seeing as she had Ai) They were currently stationed a bit outside of rock, camping out before the entered the village to retrieve a scroll the next morning. The girl was brimming with excitement and smiled at her summon.

"It'll only get more fun from here. Soon enough they'll be trying to kill you for your scrolls." The snow leopard stretched out beside the fire, completely comfortable on the rocky ground. "Of course, I won't be allowing it."

Alex stuck her tongue out at him, "Hey, I'm already a chuunin and soon I'll be a jonin." She protested, "I can take care of myself." She paused for a long moment, "But the help is appreciated."

"Good, because you'll be my cub as long as you live," The leopard claimed, looking up. "Now however, you still need training. Go run a patrol and find something interesting, I'll be here if you need me."

Alex rolled her eyes but stood, she knew better than to mess with Ai when he felt she had work to do. "Slave-driver," She muttered, taking off. It only took a moment to find the most interesting scent, and that done, she increased her speed. Ai would be fine on his own for a while, after all.

Unknown location 12 years ago.

a cloaked figure is seen walking across the prairie, it is a female figure her face covered. She is about the height of an average 12 or 13 year old girl. The cloak is a marronish red in color and is covered with a hood.
"Two years to the day since I left the sand. I have run into many people all are the same. This world is full of dirt not a single person is capable of kindness it seems. No they are but when something or someone looks different from them they show their other face. The village, and the people not in the village all look at me the same way. At first I was saddened I would try and make friends and thought I would when the genin team was formed. But they all feared me because of how I looked and what happened to me. My heart or what should be the area my heart is contained in was blown to bits I lived. I was cut into thousands of little pieces again I lived. One day this beign two years ago I could not take it so I left hoping to start fresh but itsall the same" she thinks to herself as she comes across a cottage, the cottage was a small one and the women was old she invited Tomari in and the young girl accepted.
"Young lady, why are you out by yourself?" the old women asks. Tomari knew that a storm was coming and it would be better to remain indoors so she had to pretend for a bit. Her face must not be shown.
"Well you see ma'am I am a chuunin from the sand. I am jut on a scouting mission." she informs her.
"I see. May I ask your name?" the old lady asks
"Kua" she replies simply. She is offered a bath but refuses.
"Well then please join my family for supper would you?" the old lady says to her.
"The generous old lady. Grants her wealth with those around. Truly a praise worthy granny," Tomari says.
"Oh a little poet I see. I am glad haiku is still popular among you kids I was fearing that these foreign works were taking over." the old lady says leading the way to the supper room. The old women's family consist of a young boy around 8 in a stipped shirt and tan shorts, a teen girl around 15 dressed in a long sleeved shoirt and a long skirt, a middle aged man around 35 dressed in a blue shirt and pants he is a bit dirty from the days work and his wife around the same age who is dressed more formally like a businesswomen. Tomari sits near the young boy.
"Hey...hey" the young boy says poking at Tomari.
"why are you hiding your face?" he asks.
"He is right. I need to show a face" she thinks to herself she removed her mask revling an average looking face and long black hair. She gives a smile and begins eating.
"So what is your name?" the teen girl asks
"Kua" she says to her.
"The storm is quite powerful." the father says as the wiping winds can be heard just outside.
"Now Kua we have a guest room open if you need it does not seem this storm will let up anytime soon. So you be a dear and get comfortable" the old lady says.
"A mighty thanks ma'am" she says to her
"and with that we trades stories. The father was once a shinobi but was injured in battle he retired and moved out here with his wife and two kids. His mother the old lady came to make sure they are well. the boy dreams of being a shinobi like his father once was the girl wishes to find something, I can't be bothered to remember it that was such a minor detail. I envied her truly I did such a normal girl with a normal life. She had a brother and two caring parents along with a caring kind hearted grandmother."

After trading their stories Tomari helped the children clean up the mess, despite her deep hate for people she understood common curtsy and cleaning up as a guest was just that. She then spent time with the kids while the father braved the storm to check on the chickens.
"Wow so you are kunoichi?!" the boy asks amazed
"That's right I hail from the sand. this is in fact my first solo mission" she says to him. he looks somewhat amazed his sister was 15 and she could do hardly more then a basic clone jutsu that her father had taught her and latter himself. He could do a bit more but that was because he had wanted it.
"Kids get ready for bed" the father says having just walked back in he is given a dry towel and sits near the fire place. He could do a bit more but that was because he had wanted it. After that Tomari made her way to the guest room it was late and she needed her sleep as well.

In the room is a dresser with a mirror, and a twin sized bed.
"Hmm I like this face I'll use it more often" she says lightly to herself as she forms back to her natural state the neckless mask. appearing like a ghost. She takes off the cloak and dusts it off. she then hangs it on a hanger given to her before by the mother. She looked at the bed and it was basic but what did she expect from a cottage all the way out here, and besides it was better then anything she could have come up with. Camping was never her strong suit even in her true years of being a sand Shinobi. As she headed to the bed the door creaked open the little boy is seen widened eyes unable to move he lets out a scream at the ghostly girl.
"Devil. devil!" the boy screams out the mother comes running.
"What are you. Kua? You are a demon, a monster just what the fuck are you?!" the mother asks.
"I knew you were all the same, you can't be kind to someone who looks this way. This is a hopeless world" she says to them shooting back blood at them she rips out the boys throat, the mother sees her son killed instantly then she herself is stabbed in five spots, her head being one the black blood then extends out ripping her head forward. The sister then comes. She runs to her mother and brother and begins crying she did not see Tomari just yet and wondered what happened.
"Kua, Father, Grandma come!" she shouts out. Looking up spots Tomari.
"A monster, what did you do with my family. What did you do to my brother, that girl Kua and my mother?" she asks
"What if I told you I was Kua?" She asks
"Then we house a demon, Satan's offspring." she says after hearing the response she has her small intestate ripped out of her body.
'GAUAHAHAHA!" she screams out looking at Tomari who shows no emotion and then speaks.
"You people are all the same. It should make no difference how a person looks with how you treat them. You treated me well when I wore that face but now my true face is shown and I am a demon." she says to her, black blood spreading across the body the girl is then stabbed in several spots blood splatts out. the father and grandmother come. Seeing this. The father angered attacks Tomari who is struck in the brain. but shows no pain black blood splatters over the father.
"Old lady you are one person I can kind of respect I could have been anyone and you took me in but even you can't accept a monster" she says to her as the father is decapitated by Black Aggie. She then proceeds to kill the old lady by ripping her spin out. She then had the black blood creatures eat he remains while she waited out the storm.

"I am……”
I met a man X years ago. He said...he smiled as he spoke those words his slit eyes looking at me.
Then the man was gone, he smiled as he went, I was...I wondered around alone no destination in site
I drifted along open and free. One of many and alone, my path had come across an area I entered It, it was closed off only one place to come and go
"A man laughed as he sat down on a container, I can't return" he was a gentle looking man a bright smile has he laughed and bright brown hair that. There was another besides him in the area
“Welcome” the man had spoken my eyes fixed on the person not him.
A girl stands around and begins to dance while the man laughs. I can't see them. I can't hear them. They laugh and dance." She is about my height and has a friendly face her hair brought back in a ponytail. Her eyes meet me and she makes her way towards me never once does she stop dancing

“my name is XXX.” Is what she said to me “my name is the same” I had replied.
“Well then join me in my dance” She had told me, I just stood there stunned that I could not tell her name I knew it but when she spoke I did not. I did not forget I could not see her face, I could not see her dancing. All I heard was my name XXX
Her movements were random and out of sync almost as if she wasn't dancing but just moving. She had no rhythm in the movements and there was no pattern to the moves and no way to predict through logic the moves to come.

“notmuch of a dancer are you? That is fine just be happy for me” she had told me seeing that I had not begun to dance with her.
The laughing man sat on the container, time was still or so it seemed, not that the flow of time even mattered. I heard not the music the girl was dancing too, I heard not the joke which made the man laugh. I could not understand what they were doing it was alien to me. Something abnormal just looked at them unable to figure out what was going on.
“Enter” The laughing man says as the door opens
A girl covered in cloth enters in. The laughing man stops laughing, and the dancing girl stops dancing. Her face covered in a sheet of white cloth I cannot see it. Her name a mystery, I can only tell she is a female by her figure, she is silent not a word is spoken. The girl just stands there. I begin to wonder as snow begins to fall
Soon the white cloth began to move the laughing man no longer laughing begins to hum a seemingly peaceful tone while the dancing girl no longer dancing who shares my name XXX begins to hum the same tone, a mystifying tone as the white cloth sways gracefully hanging shortly off the arms as they move, a simple dance it seemed.
I looked around, and the laughing man still sitting on the container. I could not return. I could not exit. “I am...”

(OOC) Okay simple explanation. This is not complete I'll add bits and peaces every now and then. What do these events mean I can't say who these people are I can't say though some hints should be there some more obvious than others. Also what is in plum is basic descriptions and stuff like that since well it’s through her eyes.


More to it. This part is even more confusing. Remember she doesn't remember her past very well and what she does remember is damaged goods so she will often present her past in these fashions of confusing as hell. So they have a literately event meaning and more symbolic memories of her.

Summer had come and I felt the harshness of the world.
As the gentle snow fell I saw the lost being found, “where was I?"
I ask myself this question waiting for someone to come to me and tell me the answer, nobody came.
I was alone, nobody was in this location. All I saw were lost people being found
The Air was cold and I was alone I stood still hours at end the summer sun unbearably hot. My mouth dry longing for a drink
I closed my eyes for a moment and wondered my name XXX, and then I opened my eyes
I was in a room, no doors no windows. I wasn't alone. There was three figures I could not tell who they were they towered over me, the shortest being about 121.91 CM taller than me
They begin to sing a tone. I listened to it. The song was unlike any I ever heard before it. It was soft and beautiful, the voice of these three figures crisp and clear. Their voice boomed out and gracefully sung each lyric. “Where was I?”
As the harsh sun was over head I saw the found becoming lost
Winter had come and I knew the harshness of the world. Nobody would come; nobody would be there, an outcast. Winter had come. the Snow had fallen the white snow falling
I was wondering across the island of the lost. And looked around and saw no exit nothing. The island had no seeable way off. I was alone. I heard the singing of the three figures but could not see them anywhere.
“What it all in my head or was it real?"
I knew of plenty jutsu that could cause such an effect but I would normally be free of them in a matter of seconds a minute at most but these just feel so real. As I look back at them. I saw the man sitting on the container humming the peaceful tone and the girl named XXX humming the same while a women clad in a white cloth gracefully dances to the tone.
"I cannot return." “What was my reality?” “Are these memories or not.” I feel as if I remember these things deep down but I can't recall them.
