She laughed,
"Oh those? those are my summons," she smiled, "they're also my friends. I talk to them when no one else is around." She studied him for a moment, noticing the question in his gaze. "They're really helpful when I have to fight. Like this one time, I got separated from my team and I had to use it at the last second. They stuck to the guy and held him so he couldn't move! It was so cool!" she smiled. "They protect me too, but it's funnier to watch them stick to people."
She focused on her fish, quickly devoring one before moving on to a second. She noticed the question in his gaze remained. Almost as if he knew about that night, but she knew better. She'd never talk about it, that night so long ago, but she found the words coming from her mouth anyway.
"It was so dark," she began, suddenly melancholy, "he killed them both, right there in front of me, and I couldn't do anything!" she held back tears. "I'm sorry, you don't need to hear about that." she continued chewing her fish, going back on the idea of telling him, unless he wanted to know more.

He stopped eating, shocked at the sudden change in tone in her voice and the welling of tears around her eyes. He wanted badly to rise and comfort her, to hold her and try and beat back the wave of depression, but he knew he couldn't.
"Kitsu... I.. I'm sorry..." he tried to express his concern in words instead, "I didn't mean.." He tried to catch her gaze through the flames, seeing them reflected in her wide eyes as if in a nightmare. "It's okay. You don't need to tell me..." He tried to sooth her. He wanted to know her story, but only if she was willing to tell; such was the lore of his father that had rooted in his mind. People keep secrets secret for a reason, the drunkenly-wise voice from his memory lectured him, If they choose to share their thoughts, then that's up to them, not you. He silently agreed; If she needed him, he was here and more than willing to help.

She didn't want to tell, but at the same time she had never spoken of the event, not once in all these years.
"My parents," she began again slowly, "we're killed that night." She paused, "I still remember their blood, the look on my father's face as his throught was slit...he was looking at me, telling me to run...but I couldn't move." Her eyes welled again, and she paused once more. Then, regaining her composure, "That guy tried to kill me too, but...something happened."
She looked at Katsumi. "It was like I couldn't control myself, I just got so mad and I blacked out. When I woke up, that man was cringing away from me, he was scared of me, I don't even know what I did. Next thing I know the whole village was scared of me. I don't even know what happened. Is there something wrong with me? Am I some kind of monster? What happened?" At this poin she seemed to be talking to the ground, to everything and nothing at once, her voice broke. "What did I do? Why is everyone so afraid?" she cried, " I just don't understand.." she tucked her face into her knees, sobbing. Her confusion, and sorrow of her past beating on her all at once. "Why?" she whimpered, "Why?..."

Despite the refusals of his body, Katsumi forced himself up and set out around the fire, kneeling down beside the hunched, weeping girl illuminated in the flames. He put an arm about her shoulders but remained silent; Comforting and soothing people was one of the many things he wasn't experienced in, and he felt awkward with the thought that maybe he was the only one who could help her. After a few minutes the mainstray of tears had passed, subsiding into a soft sobbing.
"Its..not your fault" he began, "You can't blame yourself for something you have no proof you did, right?" He felt himself hit a mental wall and tried a different tact. "I can't say I know how you feel, but... neither does anyone else - not the villagers, that man, nor the people you see everyday going about their lives. So, why can they judge you? What right do they have to make you feel this bad?" He stopped, not sure if he was being any help at all. "You've survived until now, and things couldn't get worse, right? You're no monster, not something to be feared - You're Kitsu. Thats all that matters."
He trailed off again, thinking of the next move, and hoping his words did less harm than good.

She looked up at him again, sniffling; finding comfort in his touch. She wiped her eyes and forced a smile.
"Thank you," she said, "I just..I've never told anyone about this before...no one else would listen. No one else cared." She looked off into the fire and leaned into him again. Sleep beggining to grip her as he held her.
[OOC: Sorry this is so short, but I think this portion of the thread is coming to a close. Now that Ryuu is accepted I have an idea so the plot can continue. I'll tell you in pm.]

With Kitsu dozing quietly at his side, he took the chance to look at his wounds and do his best to heal them. Slipping off the bandages he quickly winced at the sight of the large slash across his gut, and wasted no time in gathering chakra to his palm and pressing it to the wound with his Chiyute no Jutsu knowledge. After a half hour or so, the majority of his wounds had subsided to mere shadows of what they had been, leaving only swelling, bruises and grazes where there had previously been deep cuts. Satisfied with the healing, food, warmth and company he replaced his bandages and lay down in the grass, trying not to wake Kitsu as she still rested against him. He gazed up to the night sky for a last look, but it's elogance was masked by the light from the fire infront of him and, sighing, he closed his eyes and also fell into slumber. Well, theres still sunrise to look forward to...
[[OOC: Topic is now open for all to post in; enjoy!]]

It had only been a few hours since the sun had set. Ryuu wandered aimlessly, not paying attention to his current location or even what village he was in. All that mattered now was the moment, the darkness. He walked deep into the forest, his mind already tormented by the ghost within.
Give up Ryuu-kun, said the voice in his mind, What else do you have to live for? Give everything to me.
"I won't!" He called out, "I won't let you hurt anyone again!"
The voice laughed, How noble.
Ryuu was forced to his knees as the menace in his mind used the darkness to his advantage. Stop fighting it. You're mine!
Now it was as if a sort of death had happened, Ryuu became limp and faded back in his mind. His green eyes becoming a bright gold, his skin fading to a white like the dead.
Ryuu, now as the ghost laughed.
"There's a good boy, Ryuu-kun." he said looking at his hands, "Now to find him." He was refferring to the pupil from before. Orochimaru would use anything that offered itself that could be used to his advantage. He cursed Ryuu, because Ryuu was still fighting him, even now, he could not inact his immortality jutsu and thus leave Ryuu's mind. He didn't not have his own body, and as long as Ryuu existed, he never would.

Senshi was at a good distance from the village after the battle, he started a fire and began to unclip his left gauntlet with the blade draw and placed it in the fire.
After that, he unclipped his left shouder armor and there was a gash going through his jumpsuit! Cursing, Senshi then unclipped his torso armor and took it off. Senshi then unzipped his jumpsuit enough to mend his gash, he then took out a medicine to rub on the wound, it stinged for a while, but Senshi could take it.
Senshi then grabbed his blade that was sitting in the fire and moved it to his wound, Senshi mentally prepared for the pain he was about to get and then pressed the blade on his wound, making a hissing noise! Senshi screamed in pain as he continue to press the blade down.
After when he felt that was enough, he moved the blade and the wound was closed. Senshi then wrapped bandages around his wound and suddenly, he felt a powerful aura not too far! Senshi instantly reclipped his armor and went to find this aura!

Kitsu awoke to shouts coming form somewhere in the forest. Without concidering the idea of danger, she followed the voice. Upon finding, she was stunned.
There in the forest, stood that pale figure that filled her dreams and fantasies. Orochimaru! She fell to her knees in plane sight of the man, rasising her hand to her mouth as allways, trembling.
"Y-you! it's really you!" she whispered, eyes locked on him. O-Orochi-kun!" The exitement was plain in her voice, but it was all repressed into a whisper, her voice unable to reach it's full potential. She wondered if she was dreaming again, but no, this was real he was here! He was really here. She couldn't move as she stared at him with wide, admiring eyes; like a stunned fan meeting their favorite celebrity.

He looked at the star-struck girl hidden at the edge of the clearing. He heard all she had whispered. Orochi-kun? He had never been thought of in the way this girl thought of him. Perhaps her infatuationwith him could be useful, he would need to find out more about her as well. He also sensed a darker side of her, this interested him.
He could smell the remains of the fire, and noticed the presence not far from where they stood. He also noticied the approach of Senshi. He laughed slightly, using the girls love of him to his advantage.
"What is your name?" He asked, not really caring, but not wanting to ignore this potential tool either. He looked over at her, not moving from his place, buying time until the other presences made themselves known.

Katsumi woke suddenly to the sound of voices on the air, quickly noticing Kitsu's absence. But where would she go, leaving him without a word? He noticed the fire was still going strong - He couldn't have been asleep long. He rose and, finding his cloak, set off towards where he had thought the voices came from. It didn't take him long to see the two figures illuminated in the moonlight, his eyes opening wide with both fear and surprise as he recognised the deathly white skin and golden, snakelike eyes of Orochimaru standing before Kitsu. He heard him ask her name, his almost monotonous voice sending shivers down his spine -- How was he here? Why? How was he even still *alive*?!
"Kitsu!" He found himself shouting out to her without thinking. "Don't! Get away!" He called, but something in his mind knew that she wouldn't listen.

"Mizuguchi, Kitsu," she said, startled to be addressed by her idol. "Everyone thought you were dead, but I didn't believe it, and now here you are. Right here." Her bosom heaved in a heavy sigh as her eyes followed his form in the dark, remembered every detail. Gazing over his physique, her eyes settling here and moving there. Scanning over his entirety, staring, memorizing. She couldn't think, couldn't move for fear that even the smallest thing would change and prove this meeting to be nothing but another dream.
The sound of Katsumi's voice seemed feint even if she had heard him, she wouldn't have run from her precious Orochi-kun. He was real, he was here. She wouldn't let her dream go that easy.

Orochimaru's eyes then fell upon the shouting man. At the moment, he seemed more concerned with the girl than with him.
"Is this your friend?" he asked her with a crooked smile. He was not threatened by this new presence, or by either of them for that matter. He turned to face the man, his hands already tingling with the want to kill, but he held back; his eyes meeting those of the other, golden eyes that seemed to look into his sould, malevolent with dark intent.
He thought, a the moment and wanted to take the girl with him, but then thought of how he had little proof of the power he sensed in her. The other presence was still steadily approaching he was waiting for that one, his pupil, to arrive before he would make up his mind to take the girl or not.
Then there was allways the thought of dawn, at the sun's break Ryuu's power over him would be restored, and he would be forced back into the depths of someone else's mind.

Senshi arrived on Kitsu's and Katsumi's camp (But he didn't know that), the fire was still burning so who ever was here couldn't have gone far. Senshi looked around the site and notice some blood drops stain the ground.
'So he was here...' Senshi thought as he got a wicked smile, 'I will finish this!' Senshi thought as he raced into the forest. Along the way, he felt a powerful presense that was Ryuu's.
'He's here? Why is he doing here?' Senshi thought as he ran to the spot where he thought Katsumi was. Then he saw Katsumi standing with his back facing him, Senshi smirked as he took out his right blade and focused his chakra to make his blade surge with electricity!
After charging enough, Senshi then leapt at Katsumi with his lightning powered blade!

Katsumi, still in a mixed state of shock, confusion and panic, barely had time to register Senshi's attack before it was upon him, forcing him into action. He threw himself sideways, instinctively raising an arm in defence - a slashed arm wasn't a good thing, but it sure as hell beat a slashed torso or face. Atleast, thats what he thought before he saw -- and felt -- the static charge of electricity flowing from the blade, seeking the quickest path to the ground via himself. It coursed through his body, travelling down his spine and leaving a trail of damaged nerves and cells in it's wake. His body convulsed violently and he fell to his knees, back arched as the electricity left him. He raised his head to keep watch on his enemy, and once his muscles had settled down he rose back to his feet, trying to shake off the effects of the blow. What the hell is with this guy?!
He sprang from his position high into the air, flinging shuriken from his fingertips in his wake, manipulating their spin to arc towards Senshi from both sides. As he fell back towards the ground he formed seals with his hands and landed heavily, causing a cloud of dust to rise and conceal him temorarily while he performed the water clone technique, using water drawn from the soil around him. Although, when the dust cleared, only one figure was left standing in Senshi's view.
