Re: Akuma's double mission

Akuma nodded up at Kratos once the coast was clear and made her wai inside and took the stairs two at a time, Valkon close at her heels. Dodging a couple of gaurds as they passed she ducked inside an empty room, or she thought it was empty. Against the backwall was another gaurd, taller and more muscular than the rest had been. Valkon growled and Akuma turned to see what at.
Following the wolf's gaze she met the eyes of the gaurd and had to bite her lip to avoid making a sound of surprise. He lunged forward with a pike and narrowly missed her as she jumped and dug her claws into the ceiling to avoid the sharp weapon. As he looked up she thrust both legs down at his face and he stumbled backwards, yowling in pain. Cursing herself silently she jumped down and dug her claws into his throat, clenching tightly. His face paled and his eyes began to roll back into his head. Feeling a wave of guilt she let him go and he fell to his knees. As he gasped for air and looked up at her and Valkon he didn't know what to make of the situation and fainted.

Kratos watched as Akuma darted into a room, which had about 1 or 2 guards in it. He decided to await outside of the room just in case anymore guards came in there. All he saw were the shadows of the wolf, Akuma, and the guards. It seemed that Akuma's inner anger played into the game and gave the man hardly any mercy. Blood slipped out of the room, as he saw a trail of it lead to the hallways. Kratos watched as she exited the room, falling down and landing on his feet as a cat would. He walked up to Akuma and nodded his head to her, "Goodjob."He told her and followed her out of the room. "The more you use your anger and rage... The more powerful your attacks and intents will be."He told her and walked up to a large door with some locks on it. He looked up, reading the sign above the door. "リーダー" it said, translating to "Leader".

"I'll attack the leader directly.. Follow behind and attack whomever attacks me."He whispered, putting his hand on the chains of the door, and focusing Katon chakra to his hand. His hand became inflammed and it melted the chain. He smirked and took off the chains, and kicked open the door. He charged into the room and turned his head to a large man, who was suited in armour. A hat he had said a few things in Kanji, but didnt have the time to read it. He made a series of handsigns and ended them, blowing out a large jet of fire which had bursted the window on the other side of the room. This was all in one fluint move, which had caught the weak leader in the flames. A few seconds later, the embers were gusted away by wind that came through the window and burning hole in the tower.

Akuma breathed out heavily as Kratos came to her side, then snapped harshly. "I don't want my anger and rage to be my strength!" She quickly changed her expression and remained silent up the stairs and into the leader's room. She watched Kratos pull off his technique without a hitch or any change in his expresion or heartbeat and sighed. She saw two gaurds running up the stairs and threw the kunai she had been holding at one, while Valkon lept up and bit into the throat of the other, all three bodies tumbled back down the stairs. Valkon came running back up, blood all over his face and panting slightly. She smiled at him and ran into the room to help Kratos, taking a flying kick at the leader who had tried to run for the door on the right. "OH NO YOU DON'T!"

Kratos turned his head to Akuma as he watched her take down the guards. He thought he had killed the leader, until he watched the man escape away. 'Dammit..'He thought and ran to catch him, as he unexpectedly saw Akuma kick him away from the door. He smirked and jumped ontop of the leader, pinning him down. "This ends now.."He said deeply and laughed deeply. He then pulled out a kunai and slashed his throat. He smiled and got off the man, leaving his body in a puddle of crimson blood. "Lets go."He smiled and looked over to her. Kratos walked out of the room and slowly walked down the hallway.

**stone hearted shedemon** · by **stone hearted shedemon** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 6:38 pm

Akuma nodded, wanting to get out of here as quickly as possable and followed, alowing Valkon to sniff around quickly and catch up with them. As they ran down the stairs they knocked gaurds out of the way and quickly got out of the building, many other men swarming towards them, only the southern path they came from remained clear. "South road, now." She commanded and bolted for the allyway as quick as possable, Valkon at her heels once again.

**Shin Uchiha** · by **Shin Uchiha** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 8:19 pm

Kratos knocked down any guards that had been trying to stop them as they bashed through the hallways in a sprint. The guards hit the wall and either got up and ran after them, or passed out. Kratos smirked as they ran out the building door that they had entered from. He looked at the southern gate; it was clear. He nodded his head to Akuma's command and whispered, "We will be out on sea by sunrise."He said and ran towards the gate, taking a leap over it as he landed on his feet, waiting for Akuma and Valkon to do the same.

**stone hearted shedemon** · by **stone hearted shedemon** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 8:46 pm

Akuma smirked and lept at the gate, using her blades to drive into the wood and pull herself up. Valkon could not climb and whimpered at the bottom, turning to see men running after him and throwing kunai at him. Looking down at him Akuma jumped and deflected the kunai, one hitting her in the shoulder. She winced at the blade peirced her skin and pulled it out with a growl and flung it back at the one who threw it. She quickly used a series of handsigns to summon her jutsu and sent a shockwave of a roar at the onslought of men rushing at her, sending them back. Satisfied she scooped up Valkon and again jumped up the gate, pulling herself up using the claws on her feet and the blades on her wrists. "Kratos! Catch!" With a grunt she threw Valkon up at him, a look of total surprise and confusion on his wolfish face.
Akuma jumped the rest of the way to the top.

**Shin Uchiha** · by **Shin Uchiha** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:13 pm

Kratos waited on the other side of the gate until the earth shook for a few seconds, knowing it was probably one of Akuma's jutsu. He suddenly watched the wolf be flung over the wall, as Kratos snapped out of shock and put his arms out, catching the wolf. He fell over and down, knocking the wind out of himself. He gasped for breath and pushed the wolf off of him, as he took a few deep breaths. "You're welcome."Kratos said with a laugh as he stood up and brushed himself off. He looked up at Akuma as she stood at the top of the gate. "Meet you to the boat!"He shouted and dashed off into the woods, getting back to the boat in which they came in.

**stone hearted shedemon** · by **stone hearted shedemon** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:19 pm

Valkon had followed Kratos and kept an eye behind them, waiting for Akuma to arrive.
She looked back and threw several kunai with explosive tags on them. They bit into the foundations of nearby buildings and sent them crubling down, barracading the path. As the explosion blasted past her she jumped and sprinted towards the boat, going down to all fours to push her speed to double that of her two legged sprint. Skidding on the sand and forgetting about the water for a moment she lept into the boat next to Kratos and helped Valkon get in too. "Ok go." She panted and heaved a great sigh. She did it, she completed her mission, with help of course and she smiled to herself.

**Shin Uchiha** · by **Shin Uchiha** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:27 pm

Kratos smiled as he saw Akuma leap into the boat with him, as he cut the rope that attached the front of the boat to the pole. He took the oars and began to push and pull them, leaving the bay and going out into the ocean in a matter of seconds. He smiled at Akuma and Valkon. "You guys did good."He praised them as he worked the oars. He looked at the map that was open and on the bottom of the boat, making sure he was going the right way out. "Estimating... About 3 hours to get from Mist to Suna."He told her and looked to see what she was doing.

**stone hearted shedemon** · by **stone hearted shedemon** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:31 pm

Akuma sat in the middle of the boat, not looking at the vast expance of water and petted Valkon with a broad smile. "Thanks Kratos, couldn't have done it without you." And she ment it, without him she wold have froze at the first sign of water and would have failed. Valkon barked and licked her face happily and turned to Kratos, tounge hanging out and almost smiling. His good eye shining in the rising sun.

**Shin Uchiha** · by **Shin Uchiha** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:42 pm

Kratos chuckled and nodded his head to her, "No problem, its what im here for."He told her with a wink and watched the sun rise, as he noticed they were already miles away from Kiri. He was shocked that it only seemed like a few minutes, accually was seconds. What was this? He thought it was probably just his strength doing the work as he kept paddling, not breaking a sweat. "Well, i'll drop you off at Suna's bay, and then make my way back to Konoha."He informed her and patted Valkon on the head, then put his hand back on the oar and continued to row.

**stone hearted shedemon** · by **stone hearted shedemon** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:49 pm

Akuma mocked pouting and smiled at Kratos. "Ok I'll be able to make my way back no problem. And thanks again, for everything." She wanted to show him her gratitude but didn't know how and just remained silent about it. Valkon took pleasure in watching the water and barking at fish as they swam up to the boat.

**Shin Uchiha** · by **Shin Uchiha** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:56 pm

Kratos chuckled and nodded his head again, as he looked at Valkon, seeing how amused he seemed to be. He smiled and kept rowing the boat, as it stayed silent for the hours on shore. All that they would hear was the water moving, the pelicans above them, and the fish that would constantly jump out of the water. He didnt feel tired whatsoever. He was a spirit, he never slept. He began to hum a song that would put an end to the silence, as he looked ahead. "I see land!"He shouted and grinned, chuckling again. He landed against the sandy beach of Suna, as he stepped out and put his hand out to help her.

**stone hearted shedemon** · by **stone hearted shedemon** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:59 pm

Akuma smiled at Valkon and daydreamed most of the journy. Accepting Kratos's hand gratefully she stepped out of the boat and hugged him tightly. "Thank you, I guess this is see you soon." She smiled and waved her tail a little in the sea breeze. Valkon jumped from the boat and patted the sand with his paw, apparantly amused with the way it moved.
