The calling of the chosen. KANTO GROUP JOINS!

A cloud hung in the sky that seemed to block the sun from shining down on the village known as Kusagakure. The trees that stood in the village blowed with ease as a cackling was heard from a building. The sound was heard in a building that seemed to have been busy. As we zoom in on the building we come across a man whose holding a mug of red liquid laughing as the man who sat next to him pulsed in the chair his hand groping his neck as his brain slowly shut down all functions.

The man took one last sip from the mug and snapped his finger and the man next to him fell to the ground. "Muthafuckah, You lose." Then the man stood up and grabbed a cane that was white. The man wore a suit which now had a stain on the center of the stomach from the mans blood that had spilled on him.

Kaji smirked as he realized it was time as the cloud vanished from the sky spontaneously. 'Come the chosen. Come the brave. come to the side of the one who calls. NOW!' kaji thought as a wave of thought energy shot from him that aimed itself towards 3 people that were scattered across the ninja realm.

These 3 people kaji has chosen to join his group and they were some of the best suited people to take on the task. He held a smile on his face that was more happy than he used to be. His eyes were still closed but they weren't scrunched up like usual.

A small black dot could be seen amongst the sky. There was a small patch of blue among the clouds which hung drearily over the city of Kusagakure, and in the middle was a small black dot that got closer every second. High up in the sky, Kaima rode quickly along his dragon creature, the wind blowing through his silky dark blue hair. As he approached his new leader, he cold be seen more clearer, the dragons wavy movements not hard to spot out. It was a completely black and gray dragon, for it was made of ink. As he got closer and closer to the ground, he could see the one whom had called himself 'Kaji-Kanto'.

Now three feet away from the ground, Kaima jumped off of his dragon creature, and on his way down, he slit his neck with his blade. It was a crappy blade, for he was no good with Kenjutsu. As he slit the neck of the dragon, it made a small ink explosion, only reaching around a 1 foot radius from itself. The ink splattered to the ground and disappeared slowly. He had to do this with the creatures that he used to travel with, or else they would leave Kaima, and go reak havoc somewhere else in the world. Kaima brushed some ink off of his shoulder and walked formally to his new leader. As he got within a short distance from him, he gave a slight bow, as if to say, "Hello, Kaji-sama, it's good to finally meet you." He couldn't actually say that though. Kaima was mute.

Kaji was the one who would lead his group of mercenaries. Kaima descided to join this group of his own will, but had recieved some sort of telepathic message which was telling him too. Kaima wasn't doing anything with his life, and figured the only thing he was good at momentarily was fighting, and killing. Maybe this group was his purpose, his destiny. He looked around the dimly lit area, for others that might come.

As soon as Shikama had said it, an eerier thing happened and he felt as if someone were calling him. The urge to resist was strong, but still... he wanted to go, to follow it. But this girl... this girl held all the answers he needed. He struggled to resist the urge to follow after the signal, but it was too strong. Using his training with Raikiri, Shikama had improved his speed, but even so, he knew it would take awhile to get to the place where the signal was coming from. Damn it!

To his surprise, the girl followed him, reverting back to that other girl. Wings sprouted from her back and she picked him up as if were nothing more than a feather. Shikama's faced remained it's blank, passive, somewhat friendly form, but inside he was thinking I can't believe she can pick me up this easily! She really is like me...

---

Remind me again why we're following him... and helping him Akihime? I thought you said he was dangerous asked Aki, prodding Akihime for an answer. It was unusual that she wanted to help someone... Normally it had to be her convincing Akihime to help someone other than her.

Akihime didn't answer. She blocked her mind as well. This was a first for Aki. Aki struggled to break though, but it was futile. Akihime was simply too strong when it came to things like the mind. Aki soon gave up and watched on. Kusagakure? Why here? mumbled Aki after awhile.

Akihime finally responded. That man... he seems.... familiar..... I feel as I know him... No I do know him, but.... something... I don't know. Something is preventing me from remembering. And that other one, his name is Kaima I believe. He appears to have the same abilities as Sai once had. They seem to be here for something. Other than that, Akihime was quiet.

Akihime let Shikama fall from her grip, knowing he would land safely and landed high up in the shadow of the trees, watching the group with mild interest. She had seen enough humans gather and attempt to fight back other groups of humans. This was no different. They would not see her until she deemed it fit. Akihime became glad that she had taken some blood only a few days ago... it would have been quite annoying if she had to feed now.

Shikama caught himself in time and landed, leaning against a tree branch. "You... called?" he asked quietly in his somewhat feminine voice. The shadows hid much of him, but he knew the young man in front of him could sense him there. His dark hair moved slightly. Shikama glanced up at the tree, he was sure the girl was still there, but he couldn't see her. Shikama shrugged and averted his amethyst eyes on the other person, remembering him as Miatzauku Kaima.

The being Known as Xavier Aito suddenly felt an odd energy beckoning him to a certain place. He sighed and put out his cigarette and took his last sip of wine before throwing it against the ground and placing a small bit of liquid fire (plasma) on the edge of the bar he was in. The place erupted into fire as he began to walk away from it. In a blink of an eye the ninja was gone, the bar that belonged to his family, his fathers, was gone in several minutes. He now had nothing to return to.

He homed in on the energy source, he knew who it was, and why they had been called. He used they because he knew Kaji, despite the emotions that this group would cause him he was heading headfirst into the nothingness of his mind letting his own emotions guide him closer and closer to the group.

"Why the hell am i doing this for Kaji, i Barely even know him. I hope this isn't entirely useless. Maybe ill get some power out of it."

he smirked as he appeared on a bridge close to the energy. He was able to get there fast due to living semi-near the place. he decides to walk and take his sweet time and think of what this group may do. 'Maybe this will cause some blood? Maybe not. Who knows." he sighed coming to the door of a building, he was late. He was of course the last one to arrive. The wind had blown in a torrent for a few secconds as the trees surrounding the building rustled as if by fear of the numerous people coming together.

He opened the door and entered the building with a smirk on his face, his Emerald like eyes glimmering with a hidden blood lust. His boots, covered in studs, hit the floor hard. he wasn't wearing his usual jounin vest, he abandoned that, it only slowed him down. He was an odd sight, his black hair, past his shoulder, blew in the torrent that suddenly died down.

"Am i late hm?"

he would ask in a questioning tone that didn't sound natural.

(OOC: excuse my grammer, and any mistakes i made, and from now on <_< i cant catch them all)

Kaji smirked as they all gathered and even a freebee he hadnt expected. A female this made kaji laugh just what he needed a playboy mercenary. Kaji didn't care but as xavier showed up it made him laugh. He asked if he was late and guess what HE WAS!. Kaji simple didnt show anything but a even wider grin.

He then in less than a flash of the eye tossed his cane up and twirled it the cane part of it flying off at the pupils. From under the cane it revealed a short blade. He tucked the blade onto his shoulder and smirked as his crippled leg started tapping on the ground and instantly the ground they stood on began to shake a bit and soon it started to sink into the ground like a elevator.

Kaji then let out a chilling laugh as the elevator dropped unexpectedly and it hit the ground below making a loud thump. Kaji landed gracefully even though his leg was crippled. He stepped off and began limping down the hallway at a good speed. He hoped the people werent idiots and if they stayed on that elevator for 5 more seconds it be over.

After 5 seconds the elevator just shot up whether or not everyone was off. Kaji didn't care he just kept limping down the hall way to soon enter a chamber that seemed to be gigantic and limitless. He then clapped his hands and soon the entire place lighted up. He looked around "Muthafuckah where are you?" Kaji yelled waiting for the last of the people to arrive.

[Kyo yes you are the muthafuckah]

The loud sound of the elevator made Kai jump the instant it struck the floor. It was evident that Kaji had arrived with the others that he had so often spoke of. As the light came on, Kai squinted. As Kai looked them all over, he could see and read their chakra like an open book. With his eyes, Kai can see anyone's chakra, rank it by level of power and is able to tell what kind of jutsu they use. This was just one of his many unique skills. Kai could see that the group consisted of one level 3 who utilized ink and two level 4 who used mainly lightning and plasma jutsu. Though he was not sure why they were there, he knew it must be for a reason.

As Kai approached them, he pulled his white shirt back up on his shoulders. The shirt was obviously to large for him and made him seem fragile. As a genin, Kai could tell that each of them could best him in any form of combat. Kai was more of a support than a main player. When Kai first met Kaji, he knew that helping him was his purpose and decided to follow him. Kaji was always calling him names like he had just done and he put up with it knowing that it was just the way he was.

"You called?"

Kaima was fluxed when the elevator began falling. He had stood at the top of the ground, awaiting an answer from the one called Kaji. He could tell that everyone was a bit confused about what was going on, and Kaima definetely wanted answers abotu what exactly the group was all about. The man simply flicked his cane, making the ground into an elevator. It was so unexpected, that he literally tripped and fell on one knee. Although, he didn't like people to see him as a clumsy person. He liked to look orderly and well put together, so he quickly regained his composure and jumped off when it came to a stop. He followed Kaji down the hall, being the first one to follow him. As he enetered inside, he began wondering what he had gotten himself into. However, he continues walking. He really had nothing better to do in his life besides fight. His dark blue hair wouldn't be odd amongst the darkness of this cave. Everyone here seemed to have some kind of odd feature, including one person that struck him as a vampire.

As they walked, a young man with blond hair approached Kaji. Kaima supposed that this was the "Muthafuckah", that Kaji had been reffering to. He didn't look to be to much of a muthafuckah. He began to wonder if he was a shinobi, his white shirt hanging loose passed his shoulder. It gave him more of an innocent look then he probably took credit for. Kaima thought it to be interesting for this boy to be down here, and he smiled politely at him. He would have given him a greeting card, but there was the thing that he was mute. He simply tilted his head and closed his eyes, giving him a warm smile. Kaima looked around the cave, wondering what kind of things Kaji had around.

The ninja was perplexed as the ground fell like an elevator. Thoughts just ran through his mind, thousands at a time. Call him paranoid but when ever something like that had happened something bad was about to go down. He kept his calm. He wasnt normally a nervous person but so many people were suddenly here and he didn't know why and for what reason.

the ground came to a halt and at the warning he began to walk. At the 5 second mark he had only just gotten off. As it shot up he was perplexed and blinked slightly knowing that that could have easily ended his journey.

"Kaji..why are we here exactly. I was left out in the details.."

he stated simply and with a slight hint of curiosity. He looked at the boy who had just appeared to scan the new comers as well as himself. This surely was going to be an interesting endeavor. "Wouldn't his father be proud.." he though sarcastically in his mind. For him, his life was nothing, but maybe this could be what he needed to motivate him into doing something...useful. The boy, Kaji, the 2 or 3 others. This was a bunch of misfits, and they were following a nearly crippled leader. Call him paranoid but something was amiss to him. He forced a fake smile, slightly sadistic, to make sure nothing was wrong and people hadn't gotten the wrong idea.

(OOC: i wont be on much today, i have plans and will be preocupied. I will post when everyone has posted again, i also need to post my jutsu)

Shikama, having the earth element as well, had been aware of the elevator like movement of the earth in a few seconds and easily caught himself. He became aware that the girl had also moved... had she flown in? He couldn't quite tell. Her stealth was a little surprising to him, but what more could you expect from a vampire?

They were underground now, he could tell that much. Shikama became slightly worried now, time would not exist down here... he could change at any moment without any warning. He cleared his mind and let out a sigh. He was an S-ranked ninja, a missing nin from Konoha, Kiri, and perhaps Iwa in a sense. He despised Konoha and Suna. He hated the Mizukage, and probably would for all his life, which meant he had to hate Kirigakure in a sense too. He disliked Kumogakure and now Iwagakure was gone. He had no place left, that is unless he wanted to join one of the lesser village. So he had joined this group instead.

Though thinking of his dark past, Shikama kept up his friendly face. He stood in the shadows, careful not let them see him too clearly. If he were going to change, he would prefer that it still remain the same: that no one would know his true identity. He didn't need rumors to start about Hatake Obito still alive... not yet at any rate. For now he would have to maintain his identity as Shikama for as long as he could. He also needed to hide the fact that he was not human and was a vampire, but how could he hide that? He would need to feed soon...

---

Akihime had indeed followed them, following patches of darkness. Once inside, she too was careful to stay in the dark. She already suspected that some of them knew that she was here, at least the leader did, or the man who played at being leader. It didn't matter though, as long as they meant no harm to Aki, then Akihime would not attack... or show herself. She was intrigued by this man. This human who had become one of them and surpassed some of her own kinsmen. She was very intrigued by the man who called himself Shikama, but was in reality Obito. Akihime continued to keep these thoughts to herself. Her mind was strong, Aki would not know, not yet.

Aki began to get irritated, but bore with it. She knew that if Akihime was withholding something from her, then it had to be for good reason. Akihime had always been there for her best interest. She would not put her in harm and that was what truly mattered anyway. She knew that she herself was a Chunin... but with Akihime's aide they could rival that of a Jounin. While Akihime was busy keeping her thoughts to herself, Aki became aware that her thoughts were her own now.

It hadn't been the same as when Akihime had been unconscious during the Chunin Exams... but she could think her own thoughts and not worry about Akihime knowing them as well. And she began to question Akihime's blessing. What would she do if she died while being Akihime? She would be a weakling of course... she relied too much on Akihime's power already. She needed to start training herself again, but how? How could she train when there was a vampire who constantly took over at the slightest danger to her?

She didn't know the answer yet. Aki supposed it was something everyone in her clan blessed with this curse had to figure out for themselves, but she couldn't help but wonder, how strong was she without Akihime's aide? Of course, before her appearance, Aki would have never questioned that... Aki shrugged it off though and instead focused on the other people in the room. Akihime was giving her no hint as to who this new guy was. She would need to remember them all if Akihime planned to remain by that ex-human's side.

He say Kai come and smirked as they were all there ready to go. He tapped his foot on the floor 4 times and a chair appeared behind each member kai's placed next to him. There was even one set for the woman who hid in the shadows if she chose to sit or not. He then coughed to clear his throat then spoke in a tone that would strike fear in them that showed his sadism.

"Now that all of the chosen have arrived, I can tell you what im planning. This is the Kanto group head quarters and by showing up here you are now members of this organization. We are mercenarys for hire and were the ones who will win these wars for the weak. We will not falter and we will not lose. WE WILL FIGHT AND WIN OR DIE AND WIN!" Kaji said his voice growing louder by the minute. "THOSE OF YOU WHO BELIVE I AM CRAZY MAY LEAVE NOW I WILL SHOW NO RESISTANCE BUT YOU WILL DIE VERY SOON!"

Kaji smirked as he waited to see if any of them would leave or if they were going to stay and become members and fight alongside him to live and achieve there destinys as some of the strongest fighters alive.

Shikama slowly eased into his chair, still careful not to let them see him. He became alert at the word "mercenary". Perhaps staying with this group shall not hinder me as much as I thought... and this man may be my ally if I do not make mistakes thought Shikama, crossing his arms. He sat with his left leg over his right leg, slouching in the chair. He let out a small yawn, and again, his voice had a feminine touch to it.

---

Akihime scowled slightly when an extra chair appeared behind her. It wasn't a problem though. She had thought the man knew she was there... fitting for one who planned to run a mercenary group. She then realized that they had been unofficially made a member as well and almost groaned. Back in her mind she heard Aki laughing ever so lightly. AKI! She had forgotten about her for the moment. With a mental lecture to herself, she willed them to change back. The group didn't seem too dangerous... yet.

As Aki took control again she noticed now that the wall between them had... disappeared? No, weakened. She still couldn't sense Akihime completely, but enough so that they could communicate again. Akihime began sharing what she knew about the men to her. As Akihime went on, she became aware that they were the only girls in the group... Aki quickly shrugged it off. Akihime would protect her--them. Aki shoved the chair further back and then sat in it, pulling her legs up and wrapping her arms around them, one hand resting on her ankle, the other on top of her hand, and with her back against the chair, slouching a little bit.

At least now I don't have to worry about choosing between Konoha or Kiri... and I might find Akira too thought Aki, cheering herself up slightly and trying to ignore the thousands of tidbits of information Akihime was feeding her. Akihime had gotten too wrapped up in explaining who everyone here was... and it was giving her a headache because Akihime's mind moved faster than her's and was constantly shifting from one person to the other.

Kai slowly took his place next to Kaji, facing the other members. Though fighting was something that he hated to do, he knew that he would be more of a support for the others. With his unique healing ability, there was very little chance that any of them would die under his care.

Kai looked up at Kaji as he raved madly at the others. He knew Kaji was a deranged man but had never seen him so enthused. Knowing that he was a master and jutsu and even more experienced in the arts of the sword, Kai could not help but aww in his words. With little else to go, Kai was along for the ride.

Silently Xavier had sat down with a smirk on his face. These words, these Emotions, They Were wonderfully Delicious. He would learn to love this group, The fighting may get a bit tedious but those who decide to get in my way. These thoughts, the lives he may have to take. But a question suddenly rises in his mind. He decides to speak out with a sharp tone, sadistic tendency hidden deep down in it.

"But what if part of the group is hired for one side, and the other is put on the opposition's?"

he didn't mean to bring up any argument this was just pure curiosity. He had sat back in his chair, he crossed his legs lazily, studs connecting with studs making a slight clicking noise. He looked at their "leader" with a slight hint of curiosity. He may well need to strengthen him self a bit before he could be of total use to this mercenary group.

"I mean, do we have an oath not to attack each other, or should we just make it look real if that situation were to happen?"

he had no intention of leaving the group. He would never think of that, he has heard stories about kaji, he knew not to make him mad..at least not yet. His anger on the battlefield could be used to their advantage.. just like anger could for any normal ninja.

Gen was running late, but he had a very good reason for such. He had been meditating and watching for good outcomes in possible futures. He was watching, and blocking out the bad possibilities as problems occurred. He came across a few, but they would probably change over time.

He finally got up and left, heading to the meeting location. He wasn't sure about this, he couldn't always see the possible futures relating to when outside forces come into play. He just wasn't sure about this meeting.


As Gen arrived he heard the last few words of the male. He could hear a number of people, but didn't know any of them besides Kaji. He landed on the ground in the middle of the group, then knelt down and proceeded to speak after the part of his exoskeleton helmet covering his mouth receded into itself.

"I'm sorry I arrived late sir, I was... meditating."

After saying this his helmet fully disconnected from his spine and he removed it, revealing the beautifully designed metal mask covering his eyes. He then moved forward standing just outside the circle to Kaji's left.

"Sorry for the interruption, you can continue now."
