Retriving Youka

Daiyuki watched as the process of events ensued. He thought to his self as the attacks unfolded, “run away” the thought was intolerably strong some much so Daiyuki turned his head to scan the surrounding for a perfect place to escape. However something stopped him, as he looked down at his trembling hands he would see the scar from his pact with Maku. Upon seeing the scars he remembered he had made a promise in the same form of a mark to Kiru to fight along side him and die if it came to that. This was the same silent vow the mark above his eye represented for his new companion Yorice.
 
Why was Daiyuki scared? He had felt this raw energy before; He had peered into this type of aggression before in within his own dominion. Daiyuki in his own way was just like this man Youka, in a sense if the power was his; the snow would be plastered with blood.
 
Daiyuki had let a little sadistic smile slip out as he saw Kiru heading in the direction of Shiroi, the wolf was big enough to catch the boy as she would. Her mouth would catch ahold of his garment; she would then toss him a bit more gently to the ground. The wolf had seen the look on her master’s face and understood completely what it meant. She needed to apart of the assault that was to take place but it needed to collate properly or it would prove ineffective.
 
Daiyuki watched as Youka approached Yorice, the sadistic smile on the wolf boy’s face was hidden ever so well behind his black and blue mask. He had thought about throwing his kunai to possibly draw Youka’s attention but he knew that would just provide the mad man with another killing tool and option. Daiyuki clinched his fist to him this was his notion that he was going accept his death but he was certain it wouldn’t be at the hands of this man. 
 
Sliding down on all fours Daiyuki prepared to attack first using the four legs technique, this would cause become a bit faster. However the 2m distance from Shiroi to the man was closer so the wolf would being to move slowly toward Youka, this was provide Daiyuki who was probably 4meters away the appropriate time to build up his speed, strength and health using that technique in which his strength and health would increase as well.
 
 

All of which would be interrupted by the appearance of Maku and two women one of which he recognized by scent as Charlotte. Daiyuki couldn’t help but think that “this will be bad” as the other aura filled the sky. Daiyuki wouldn’t hesitate to be ushered away and Shiroi would seize her approach and follow suit. This was easily about become an epic battle, all of which was lost behind the idea that both of his friends had suffered injuries and he himself had become to paralyzed by fear to even act on his intentions. 


(new order? Maku, Daiyuki, Kiru, Youka and Yorice is a minor who can be skipped if need be)

Kiru laid back against the walls of the village. He realized his arm may not work properly ever again, as crushing the bone would also include crushing several rather important nerves in his arms. The pain seemed dull and insignificant to him. He had been given a vital task by his team members and he had failed. Not only had he been caught, but his plan to get away was worthless, so much so he felt he should have simply done nothing. His chakra chains formed a makeshift sling, keeping the arm steady, his headband, usually tied around his arm, had fallen into the snow. He had not preformed admirably. He had failed the only task in which he was given. What right did he have to fight by their side? Maku would finish this fight, and the outcome would be the same as if Kiru had never been there. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the wall. He didn't much care how this all turned out.

Bored...bored to death was the only feeling the Demon had as it crushed through the bones of the boy and tossed him to the wayside. Pure emptiness was all that was behind him stalking down the one known as Yorice, there was nothing excting about that hunt. Fear was all he got from the other child, so much fear that the Demon had not even bothered to look his way. He knew Yuki was weak besides the leader but he had no idea that the stench of those that couldn't do for themselves reached this far. Everyone of them would die today for their lack of power, and they would pass on to the afterlife knowing that their best was as insignificant as an ant fighting a lion. As the Demon made his way menacingly towards Yorice he saw the crimson glow of an eye he had seen once before, it had granted interesting powers that had yet to be fully known by him. Maybe plucking it out and doing studies on it would provide in formation. However the demon would never get that far as he felt the presence of the one he came here to kill draw closer, the other two chakra signatures that followed in tow meant nothing to the walking death machine, his target had arrived.

Probably the one person that provided Youka the most humanity was Maku, and the Demon hated it, which was why the boy needed to die. Too much was put onto the shoulders of the Demon to rectify in order to ensure Youka became the strong violent murderer the Demon knew he could be. While Maku was still alive Youka would never reach that point as long as he felt someone in this world didn't view him as just a monster hell bent on mass murder. Under the demon mask Youka's face cocked the most demented smile possible.

Turning only to face the boy sideways and looking over his right shoulder, he used his left hand to pull back the food on his armor revealing the recently cut cut red hair that now hung messily over the demon mask that covered his face. The only thing that could be seen was his red pupils through the eye slits that stared upon Maku's frame intently. The Demon waited for what he knew was to come, more than likely some form of trying to reason with it, hoping that it would relinquish control of the mans mind giving the body back to Youka. Or maybe the boy would do something so stupid as to offer himself up to the demon, in a selfless act, the Demon laughed to himself at the thought of such stupidity, he would act and kill the child in one fell swoop if that were to be the case.

Watching as the boy stopped moving at more than enough safe distance between them, the demon looked on as the boy performed what could only be described to the weaklings around them as a pure miracle. What had the visage or an angel rose high into the sky over the boys back, more than likely to spread hope that their savior had come to pull them from the depths of hell they had been drawn into by Youka's own presence. The Demon continued to not move as it perceived what looked like a meteor to be coming in behind it. If this was a normal setting it might have been something to worry about, however Maku had been tasked with protecting this village, the Demon doubted the child would destroy it so easily simply because he was here. Ruling it out as nothing but a cheap theatrical trick the Demon didn't flinch.

Youka's body didnt move as the two females that had escorted Maku to the grounds began removing the other trash from the field, which was good, they were nothing more than casualties waiting to happen. The Demon however was vain and not one to be outdone, he wouldn't idly sit by as this "angelic figure of power rose into the sky. Enhancing his display of power to be more corpreal than illusion he raised the demon visage to that of the true body of the demon inside. " />

Happiness and peace shouldn't exist where death and despair currently hold sway. the Demon would make sure of that. Something was happening though inside Youka, another entity was watching the boy with glee, wondering what other tricks the child would pull out, if need be the entity knew it could trick the Demon out of control for a while to enjoy this ones abilities. However the blood lust of the Demon was entirely too high at this moment to take control of the body by force, so it would have to wait.

As all of this finished the demon turned to face Maku directly and began clapping slowly in a sarcastic manner as it bent at the waist with a more than mocking bow.

Demon Mask
"Are you done with your cheap tricks now, Can we begin, I have no time to waist, after I butcher you, it's on to find that weakling female. If you would like you could give up and I'll let you die gracefully. Ha..hahaha, no I'm going to kill you in the most painful ways possible, but not before taking your limp broken body back with me to my den to perform the most excruciating medical procedures I know."

The Demon knew of Maku's powers in the arts of genjutsu which was something he would indeed have to be mindful of, but if he could turn this into a close range fight then Maku would indeed fall to the onslaught of the Demon's power. Wait had Maku called the Demon, Youka?

Demon Mask
"You...fucking...filth...how dare you call me by that weaklings name, I tore at his mental state till he was left with nothing and I took this husk of a body and inhabited it with my own will. Don't you ever call me by that unusable name again."

The Demon was rightly pissed and quickly began performing five handsigns where he stood. In moments the snow that always fell in Yuki stopped and the sky turned darker as snow was replaced by raindrops that came from a continuous downpour of moisture. It was a simple jutsu but one that provided the Demon with the tracking ability he knew he would need in this fight. The rain continued to fall and streak down Youka's armor and his face mask, the battle had started and he had already made the terrain more suited for the type of combat he had set up for this encounter.

Maku listened to the rant of the demon, and knew exactly what he must be thinking.  That the angelic creature above him was meant to spread faith and healing, however the demon could not be more wrong.  No Maku was not interested in that, other than to make his presence known, and now that it was it was time to shake it up.  As Maku eyed the demon, the angel began to move.  Opening its mouth it revealed a mouth full of razered teeth.  Not only that but red fire seemed to exude from its body.  Were one moment there had been beauty now only terror reigned.  The creature roared, its appearance now just as frightening as any demon spewed froth from hell.  It moved forward, smashing into the aura of Youka's demon. 

Being creatures of chakra manifestation, it did not attack with skill, but instead was a symbolic gesture of the clash of the two beneath.  The angel having smashed into the demonic aura would proceed to bite and tear at the other aura, doing all it could to dissipate it.  The sky would be filled with the balck aura of Youka, and the crimson streaked with red of Maku's.

As the being rocketed forth, Maku quickly made two hand seals.  Pointing his right arm to his full right, he unleashed a quasar pulsate that would tear through home after home, until it imploded, the resulting shock wave blowing debris and tousling Maku's hair.  "I give no shits for this village.  I give no shits for these genin.  This place is nothing more than an assignment, I hold no loyalty to it."  Maku's face would be dead serious at this moment, and the heat from the fireball would begin to press down upon the two.  It would be moving closer and closer to the two combatants, causing a sweat to break out on everyone in the immediate area's forehead.  In this way, Maku would seal the bluff.  He had destroyed a section of town, showing he did not care, and had even wasted some energy which surely would piss the demon off.  Maku was making it clear he was left unworried by the coming fight.  All the while the two auras continued to clash.

The fireball would hit the ground at this point, surely giving at least a moment of fright when it hit.  However the blast would immediately dissipate leaving everything just the way it was.  Cocking his head to the side, and smiling Maku spoke "Ooops guess that was the wrong tech after all."  Laughing, he could only imagine how angry this would make the demon.  Many probably thought Maku slightly dumb and unskilled, but all his actions had a purpose and this laughter was no exception.  "Seriously, Youka can you come out and play, this angsty exterior is getting old.  Boowoo im evil, im nasty, im gonna hurt ya, grrrrr" Maku would say this with a mock angry face.  "Gets old fast."  Despite this calm exterior, his aura raged on.  The ultimate parallel was being displayed in the joking of Maku, yet the deadly intent of his aura exuding as much fear as what Youka's was doing.

"Well then, Mr. Nasty I have to ask, why so serious, and if I am just trash, then come and get some, bitch." His voice once again held a bit more seriousness at this invitation to make the first move.  His left hand would be resting on the hilt of his sword at this time.  Maku would still be watching the demon, a wide smile on his face that did not reach his eyes.  He had thoroughly insulted the demon, gave him no respect, and made it clear he was not going to be intimated.  A tricky natured creature might see through the ruse.  However Maku was fairly confident he had pegged the nature of this beast.  He wanted it to work off blind fury and hit him head on. 

Maku continued to display an attitude and an aura that differentiated himself from most ninja.  While he occasionally played the seriousness of a true shinobi, he ultimately always fell back on the joker that he was at heart.  He would not be intimadated by anyone.  He would never back down from a fight.  He would also have fun and the time of his life while doing it.

Darkness settled and rain fell on the Demon and Maku it started to pour heavier and the sky turned darker. The two displays of power clashed again this time the more angelic of the two turning more grim as it opened its mouth and bit into the other. They were nothing more but the Demons and Maku's will colliding to see who could over power who, but that wouldn't be found out till the first move was made in combat. The Demons display of power would raise its arm to try and pry the angelic beasts teeth out of it's skin while also trying to break the jaw as well.

The explosion that never happened came with deafening silence as the illusion fell back into nothing. The Demon was beyond annoyed at this display of foolery and it caused him to start walking forward, his armor clanking with each step in the slushy snow that was quickly becomin more water than solidified white fluff. It was at this moment during his forward movement that the distance had been lowered to 15 meters and Maku launched a beam of pure energy towards a building. The demon never stopped moving forward but turned his head slightly to observe the flickering of debris and snow as the house collapsed under it's own weight as its supports were taken away.

More talk was had by the human as he went on about things the Demon was no longer hearing. Instead it was thinking on the multiple ways to end this fight without exerting too much energy. It knew for one it couldn't look the genjutsu user in the eyes or it would indeed be over for the Demon. Seeing the meteor fully disappear ticked the demon off more as Maku laughed it off as just a waste of a jutsu, the Demon was being made a fool of, the child would be hung by his intestines after his tongue was cut from the fools mouth.

Inside the warring state of Youka's mentality another entity was now fully awake watching what transpired on the outside a sheepish laugh coming from it's insides as it could feel the rage of the Demon boiling over.

The distance between them turned from ten to five meters as the Demons walk never slowed pace or picked up speed. It clenched it's fists cracking the knuckles briefly as it readied its body for the battle.

The Demon broke into a full sprint to close the remaining distance. it's feet stomping into the puddles of water that now littered the area causing the water to rise up and fall back to the earth. Making it into striking distance a furious punch launched towards Maku's face with his right arm was thrown that if connected the Demon would pivot his body to the right following the motion through raising his right leg into a destructive kick aimed at the boys midsection. Both blows were launched at enough force to either break or crack whatever they hit which was exactly what the Demon wanted. It would have to end this fight quicker than it thought or something more meddlesome than this boys talking would come to be.

As the demon came closer and closer, Maku kept his head in a cocked position to his left.  With his left hand he placed a finger in his ear, he began picking at the contents.  To an outsider they would see a boy that was clearly unconcerned with the barreling force of a man approaching him.  As the man hit the 5 meter mark, Maku removed his finger and flicked the contents as the man began his sprint.  

At the moment the man threw his right fist forward, Maku leaned back and to the left slightly, and quick drew his sword with his left hand.  The blade barely cleared the sheath as Maku brought it out and up over his head, and would if left uninterrupted slice right through the mans arm on its upward ascent.  Severing the mans arm about mid forearm, the momentum of the man unless interrupted would force him to continue with his action to try and kick Maku.  Using his mastered blink jutsu, {no hand signs required} Maku would teleport milliseconds before the kick (or if any other perceived attack was launched) were to land.  Such a heavy man throwing such heavy blows, must be cautious when throwing his weight around on a ground that was snowy, and now even more slick from the rain and cold.  Maku wondered if the man could keep his footing.

20 meters behind Youka, in his blind spot, Maku could be seen scratching his back with the edge of his sword before replacing it in the sheath as he turned to face the man's back, unless he turned.  "Yawn, Ya know, I think I liked Youka better.  At least he was a conversationalist. Maybe you need a warm up, or maybe your just not the big bad demon you think you are."

As Maku made this deceleration, the angels mermaid like tail would whip around to smack the demonic aura in the back of the head, adding annoyance.  It displayed the strength the two had, and the fun Maku was having. 

Maku continued to watch the demon for any action.  He was no fool, and he wanted to win this fight.  He could joke for now, but his intentions were still clear and focused.  He would assume the dominant position when victory could be gained, and seize it.

Ever watching the body as a fighter should the Demon was looking for any type of movements that would lead to something bad happening in close quarters. The demon thrived on the tension that came from being in such a close proximity of his victims and this boy was no different. What the demon did see was the subtle shift in weight that the boy made and the quick grab he made for the weapon that was hidden under his robe.

When had Maku learned how to wield a weapon, it must have been in the time that this body was away from the group. No matter while it was a shock, it was nothing that couldn't be remedied quickly. Youka's left palm opened as the boys hand made it's way to the hilt and shot threads from his palm to not only constrict the sword from being drawn but to hold Maku's hand to it as well.

It was at this moment that the boy used his go to escape technique that the Demon had accounted for in movements and attacks. Grabbing onto the boy would more than likely shift Youka with the boy if Maku could indeed shift anything he was touching with him. If this all went off unhitched the shift to another location would happen with Youka still attached to Maku and in a new location as well. The Demon would waste no time in taking this moment to strike, making one tiger sign with his right arm that had missed the punch he breathed in quickly before letting out a stream of sharp pressurized water from his mouth. If it was done with out a hitch the Demon would aim the water to tear through Maku's chest and through hist left lung. If this went off without a hitch the Demon would use Maku's body as a examination tool for the next medical jutsu he was attempting to make that would increase all of his abilities to new levels.

Maku had not expected this.  He had never blinked with anyone before, and therefore had not even known it was possible.  However here he was with Youka directly infront of him.  This was not the place he wanted to be, however the common man must do what he can to brace against the shit of a normal day.  Because of this Maku immediatly began working on a contingency plan.  The first part of the plan was intitated the moment that Youka began breathing in.  Maku, thanks to his mastery of genjutsu, he need not use hand seals and his bringer of darkness jutsu was activated.  It would render Youka's sight useless as he was engulfed in a world of darkness. 

As Maku was doing this, he also was activating the chakra in the robe, causing 6 demons to appear around Youka as his sight was being hindered so he would not actaully be able to see the demons.  2 would appear on each side of Youka, each about a meter from him and half a meter from eachother.  Another 1 would appear behind Youka, about a meter from his back, with the last demon appearing 10 meters behind that one.  These demons, due to being made from Maku's chakra would each share his signature.  Because of this each demon would appear to be Maku through chakra senses alone.  So for all intents and purposes 7 Maku's would be sensed, all being around the same dimensions in size.

Now, at this time Youka would unleash the torrent of water.  Maku had waited and timed this plan to ensure Youka was commited to this attack to give his opponent no time to react, at least that was his intent, though with Youka you never knew.  As the water was gushing towards him with deadly purpose, Maku would activate another ability from the robes.  As the water was about to hit him, he would switch places with one of the demons on Youka's right.  This ability worked off the connection between Maku's chakra and the created demons.  In this way he would not be forced to give Youka another free ride, Maku decided he didn't care for hitchikers and would not be made fool of again.

As the switch happened, Maku would once again attempt to use the quickdraw technique.  As he appeared he would draw his sword with his right hand, and draw it up horizonatlly.  In this way he would attempt to bifrecate Youka's body from navel to the top of his scalpula as the last of the water poured from his mouth.  The demon Maku had switched with would be destroyed by the blast leaving 6 Maku's being sensed.  The 5 demons would all begin running in diffrent directions, in a zig zag and seemingly random.  After the attack was struck

As this attack sliced throuh, Maku would begin skipping backwards to put 10 meters between himself and Youka.  The attack was so clean that if left uninterupted to this point, the demon would speak before realizing he had been cut in half.  To which Maku would respond "It's because I have so much to say, perhaps if you had more of a personality you would like to talk as well."

Maku heard the change in inflection as well.  Was there another personality manifesting from Youka, could one person hold that many diffrent thought process.  The concept was foriegn to someone like Maku, he was not a complex individual when it came right down to it.  He was cunning though, and it was time to throw some bait into the water.  "If you want to be entertained then come out and play, don't let such a bully confine you.  Let me see you, I can feel the winds of change coming, lets see what we can see."  It was a brazen jest, only one who was overly eager would fall for it.  However, one never knew what kind of fish they could catch until they dangled their hook in the water.

Above them the two auras continued to wage war against eachother.  As the demonic aura sought to break the jaw of the angelic mermaid, it seemed to switch its head postion with its tail, leaving the demon grasping the tail, and leaving the mouth to rear and bite into the demons neck.  It symbolized the change in positon, and the attempted damage that Maku had done.  With what he knew of Youka's body, he didn't think this attack would kill his friend.  He did hope it would slightly slow him down however.

It seemed everything the demon was planing was going according to how he had calculated. The boy while being tedious and a slight problem was being quickly over ran by the Demons solid planning. The battle was over and the Demon was the winner, Maku would die with blood slowly filling his lungs as he tried to gasp for air but nothing would reach him but the harsh reality that he was now suffocating himself.

Yet something happened that again the Demon was not prepared for, Maku could use his genjutsu without hand signs and the demon watched as his vision blurred out and faded to darkness. This was bad this was very very bad, as the last of the Demons vision vanished he felt the presence of multiple Maku's appear and their locations due to the rain giving off their area. The Demon couldn't see but it could sense and the rain hit the bodies of what the Demon assumed to be clones and only one was the real Maku. One of the clones made a movement to his right and it was the closest one to act that needed to be defended against if these were indeed all clones.

Fox Mask
"It's my turn to play, slide over, you're going to get us killed with your straight forward attacks"

As the thing to the right moved in closer for the kill Youka's hands flew to his side performing the hand seals for the substitution jutsu. Once the sword connected with his body a puff of white smoke would appear and what would be left was a snowman that was half melted due to the continuous pelting of rain. With Youka's body appearing 10 meters out of the field of the other Maku's placing him facing them all. The fox let out a jolly chuckle and clapped Youka's hands together as it did a small little dance in the rain"

Fox Mask
"Ah this is fun, fun indeed, a game of chance, and i'm blind as a bat, I still see you though, or do I, you don't know, and I don't know, but only I know"

Performing two more hand seals three puffs of white smoke appeared and three clones were made one to the right and left of the Fox and the other directly behind him. They took the formation of a well thought out attack pattern before it quickly fell to shambles and chaos as they all started throwing snow/water balls at each other in an attempt to get the last hit.

Fox Mask
"Now it's my turn, you can't win against me and I dare ya to try, but trying to beat me just won't fly"

The Fox in it's blinded stat couldn't be happier as he and each of the clones pointed towards one of the demons and began laughing while the real Fox pointed both hands towards the last two that he couldn't actually see but feel and laughed as well.

jutsu used:

Seeing the puff of smoke, Maku focused waiting for his foe to reappear, and he did not have to wait long.  His chakra senses picked up his friend, and Maku turned to face him.  He seemed more deranged, and a lot more fun in this form.  No more sulking demon, or boring droll banter.  However, Maku would still seek to assert his dominance in the fight. 

He watched as the Fox created two clones and even pointed his hands at him.  Releasing the demons, Maku placed his sword back in his sheath.  Resting his left hand on it.  He watched as the demon played in the snow, and lollygagged about.  Maku feared this new form would not be as easy to fight.  Maku liked big strong opponents.  He liked them coming right at him and throwing their weight and full strength towards him, just to have it turned on their heads.  Maku wasn't sure how to fight a creature such as this. 

Deciding he better play it safe, Maku sought to figure this creature out better.  It was a playful one, that much was obvious.  So, he did the only thing he could think of  tell a knock knock joke.  "KNOCK KNOCK!!!"
