The tale of Echo the Invincible[Private, Family]

Awaking earlier after a few days of wandering through his village to burn it into his memory Echo glances towards his pack...filled with all of his equipment and some essentials for survival...He sighs and steps out of bed idly pulling the pack into his Shangri-la for storage, he opens the door of his room and walks out the room slightly bare, Echo's guitar strapped to his back.

He closes the door and walks down stairs laying the instrument by the front door of his home, he backpedals slightly and walks into the kitchen, sliding his goggles in place in case Akina or Primrose were to enter he then opens the cabinet pulling out waffle mix, he smiles briefly as he begins shuffling around the kitchen creating a single clone to assist him as he begins cooking the clone picking up eggs and beginning to cook some rice for the onigiri.

The entire process of a meal takes Echo fifteen minutes, as it always had when he made his own food in a small shack...just outside this compound.

He gestures towards the clones who grimace is his direction for having the hard jobs stuffed on them as they walk off and set the table laying out the food in preparation of his family...and the news he'd have for them.

Primmy woke up shortly after hearing the sounds of someone being in the kitchen. She stfretched, the got out of bed. She put on one of her favorite pairs of leather pants, and a black tank top, with a fishenet long sleeved shirt over it. Prims long black hair was easy to brush this morning. She put on her black shoes as she went downstairs. When she walked into the kitchen her eyes almost popped out of her heade. Maybe she had never seen Echo really cook before, or she was shocked to see him up this early. "Um...good morning Echo!" Prim said looking over at him.

Echo nods in response washing out the cook ware he used with a simple towel, he turns his head towards her and gestures for her to sit at the table with a small smile.

A strange one she is, but not entirely bad...just a bit clumsy.

The slow circular motions as he cleans the batter that was stuck to the pan creates a small shifting noise that begins to flow through their home Echo chuckles at his little ploy to get the lovebirds to awaken..he's gotta be gone soon or he knows he'll never leave.

After being out late with Akina Viper's form is in a borderline comatose state, his snores are loud and filling his room.
The smell of food enters his nose as Viper's snoring slowly ceases, his eyes flicker open, his form yawning as the aroma is all he can smell, is Akina up this early?
Viper gets up from his bed sliding off the right side, still noting he is in his Uchiha uniform he fell asleep in last night.
Going to his closet he grabs a fresh pair that he lays out on his bed, Viper makes his way to his private bathroom in his room stripping down and handing his headband on the hook, his Rinnegan eye opening after extended dormancy.
Viper feels the cool air upon his now exposed forehead that he has kept hidden due to his extra eye, Viper starts the shower and steps inside washing himself of the sweat from the earlier training, he only stays within for a few minutes doing but a quick rinse off, Viper stepping out and with an external flux of his fire elemental chakra, this instantly drying his body and hair , Viper styling it in the mirror so it gets its trademark spike as it goes down his back.
Viper goes back in to his room and slips his clothing on, he goes to walk out his door before he notes something, his vision is alot better for some reason and has a wider vision range, pondering this he realizes what he almost forgot, the voice of Saiken flows through his mind, "Way to go idiot, ya almost forgot your headband and showed everyone your freaky eye!"
Viper rolls his eyes, all three of them, and sighs, he goes back in the bathroom grabbing his headband off the hook and ties it around his forehead closing his Rinnegan eye once more.

Viper makes his way down stairs, "Wow Akina, your up ear-" Viper stops his words after seeing Echo is the one cooking, his being now doing the dishes and Prim standing within the kitchen, looks like he will not get to be alone with Akina in the morning which saddens him a tad.
Viper makes his way to the table and sits down, he looks at Echo and in a teasing tone speaks, "Aw, thank you honey it is so sweet that you made breakfast~" Viper chuckles after his words.

Akina's dream was quickly coming to an end. She and the two women were beginning to get along quite well. They were eating something very delicious, and the girl realized she was starting to smell food in the real world. A waterfall suddenly appeared behind the three women, and Akina realized that the shower was running in the real world. These small pulls back into reality caused her to wake up in a startled state. "Mom, Uchiha-sama!" She yelled as she sat up. When nothing but her empty room was staring back at her, she sighed and sank back down under the covers.

She waited until she heard someone go down the steps, and then she decided to move. Her body was sore and stiff. She should have taken a shower, but she despised cold showers, so she just walked down the stairs in the kimono that she wore yesterday. She had been cleaning until the early hours of the morning, and judging by the thick black circles under her eyes, she may have only gotten an hour of sleep at the most. She tried to smile at Prim and Viper and Echo, but the scowl at the edges of her mouth seemed to deepen considerably. When she saw Echo cooking she walked up next to him and simply muttered, "Good...morning." She reached out her hand to offer help with cooking the food. "Shall I get tea?" Her voice sounded very monotone, and the girl looked as though she was still sleeping or as though she was about to pass out right where she stood.

Echo watches Viper arrive and hears his words, he doesn't even look up before he quips "Now what makes you think I'm feeding you? YOU still owe me Dango from that spar" Echo returns with a smirk before he notes Akina at his side and pales slightly at her visible ire stepping back slightly with a sheepish grin as he looks around "Um...Yes! Tea...Tea is nice!" he states nervously hoping to not incur his Brother's secret lovers wrath knowing full well to not mess with an angry woman who lacks sleep....no matter how much power he possesses he is no match for a woman scorned.

Prim kind of wondered why Echo was up this early, but she decided not to think about it to much. She saw Viper come in, "Good morning Viper." Prim greeted as he walked in the room. She had taken a seat at the table when she walked in. As Viper joked with Echo, Prim couldn't help but smirk. Even though they didn't always act it, you could tell the brothers were actually really close. When Akina entered the room, Prim noticed she looked rather tired. She didn't want to say anything. She just glanced from Viper to Akina then to Echo and back to Viper. She had learned to not question certain things, but the events so far this morning were rather puzzling. But regardless this was one of things that made her happy to be part of this family. Everyday was different and unpredictabe.

Viper hears Echo mention their spar, a soft growl is produced, "You know you cheated, I do not reward cheaters!" He says in a a playful mixture of pouting and teasing, he raspberry afterwards.
This is bound to shock Echo as Viper has never been this happy, Viper's head looks toward Akina and he quickly grows silent as he watches seemingly death itself walk past, he does not say a word.
He looks towards Prim, "Good morning cuz!" Viper throws his left arm around her pulling her in to a hug followed by a quick peck on the forehead, "you sleep good?"
Viper's smile is big this morning, he is truly happy to have his family all together, little did he know that today would be the day his family would slowly begin to crumble away from him.
Perhaps it was irony, or maybe cruel fate would be the best words for Viper to wake up happy this morning, only for Echo to declare this as the day he would be leaving.
Viper leans back in his chair looking at his family, "I love you guys!" Viper says with a rather big smile, something that should scare anyone that knows him.

Akina sighed. Everyone was seeming to jump around her, but she couldn't see anything that seemed out of the ordinary. Everything was still clean...for now. Her eyes hardened as she watched Echo and his bowl of batter. "If you spill one drop of that on the counter...well, you were a good boy for not talking to me much..." She patted him on the head lightly and smiled, but there was still something very dark in her eyes.

She flashed a smile at Viper, though it carried its own weight of a warning. She stalked over to the stove, carrying the tea kettle with her so that she could make tea. She watched the flame of the burner dance under the tea kettle as the water heated up. The girl waited until she saw steam coming out of the kettle. She clanged four mugs down on the counter and poured the hot water into them. She placed tea leaves in the mugs and stalked away from the counter with two of them. The one mug in her left hand clunked roughly down next to Echo. She stalked over to the table where Prim was and tried to gently set the other mug down in front of her house mate, but it clunked slightly.

She dragged her feet back to the last two mugs and grabbed them quickly. The girl stalked over to where Viper was and thrust the mug of tea that was in her right hand toward him. She tried to smile, but her mouth twitched into a horrid smirk. She dragged the chair beside her across the floor and sank into it, her own tea mug landing with a clunk on the table. "It's good that you love us," she said very flatly to Viper, "I'd hate to see what would happen if you hated us." There was a ghost of a joking smile on her face, but she was still surrounded with an aura of darkness around her.

Echo's eyes widen at Viper's strange behavior his knee's almost buckling as he gapes for a moment before glancing at Akina, then at Viper...then Akina again....a knowing smile spreads across his face as he now ignores the girl's irate behavior and nods with a knowing chuckle.

"How cute.." He mutters to himself at his Brother's behavior, he knows Viper isn't one for affections so it's no surprise he's acting this way with what Echo deems as Viper's soul mate...to bad Echo has news...

Echo sends out a flash of chakra to get his families attention "Today is the day Viper" He says giving Viper a pointed look behind his goggles "You two...come sit please I have an announcement." He says a hint of hesitation leaking into his voice..but this is something he has to do.
