Meeting a friend (closed, nk)

Makussu was slightly annoyed as he still could not find the supposed beacon that should have been Kasai."Damn, since when is orange a subtle color?," he thought aloud, almost considering starting to make himself comfortable on his little perch when he saw smoke in the distance. It was an admittedly obvious bait, if they really wanted to stay hidden his fellow teammates could have easily found dead wood, or it was Kasai and his fire Jutsu. Either way, he soon jumped down one branch at a time, his destination the giant pillar where apparently he would engage in combat once again. Once again to conserve energy, he traveled at a speed of around 32 towards the earthen monument, ready to react to any movements. He would then yell out, "Ready or not, here I come!

Tatsuya finds a spot were he can still keep a tab on Kasai and Makussu in case one of them decides to come in Tatsuyas direction. Tatsuya would soon see the glow Kasais fire then muttering to him self. "A bold move for one that is in a forest."
Tatsuya did want to go and get closer to see if Kasai was causing any damage to the forest. He know Kasai would not do it on purpose but it could still happen.  Like Tatsuya would try to always do is to review his options. Tatsuya is now really beginning to  realize how much better of a support player then an offensive one.  As it would be unfair to team up on one guy Tatsuya was fighting alone making the sparing become more difficult. Tatsuya really did not have many options as most of his jutsus did not work well in the current situation. He could take out both of them with the temporary paralysis but what fun would that be. He also did not want to use the shadow possession on ether of them because he did not know there exact location and thus Tatsuya could be blindsided more easily. Hmm what to do...Tatsuya thought. Tatsuya decides it would be a better move to just get a little close and survey were every one was before making a offensive move.

(sorry bout the long wait on replying, guys, I've sadly gotten motivated to do others things at the same time :p )
Kasai stood slowly, surrounded by the smoke swirling around him from the fire. He quickly flicked his eyes around, confirming that he had not caught anything on fire. 
His head snapped around as he heard Makussu's cry. 
"Oh, I am ready," he said. "The question is, are you?"
Kasai bent his legs, and slowly raised his hands to his chest, slowly forming his hands into a tiger form. If Makussu was charging him, he would be met with the log again, and this time, Kasai would not be a second late. 
He did not see a trace of Tatsuya, and feared that already, the day had grown too late, and the shadows were already helping him greatly. Kasai felt that already, he would lose this spar. 
Regardless, it had been very good, and Kasai had gained another friend. Even if he lost the spar, the very fact that it had taken place was a victory.

Makussu burst into the clearing, coming to a quick stop see the ominous sight of the smoke swirling around his masked adversary. "You totally planned that.," Makussu said to Kasai, whom had probably thought of that kind of beacon before hand, if he had thought of it on the fly that took some serious sudden creativity. Either way it wouldn't matter soon, the day was growing old and as it did so, Tatsuya's power would only increase, problem being in that he was completely unlocateable to him, seeing as he had no sensory ability. Oh well, he'd at least try to beat Kasai. Forming his familiar handseals he would once again shout "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!," a blast of wind would approach Kasai, who's action would decide on how he reacted. If he was hit, he would simply stay in his current position, however if he got a technique sent his way he would retreat back into the foliage with a backwards shunshin, he would also do the same thing if he simply substituted, only without his favorite speed raising technique.

(-20 for great breakthrough, now 79/100)

At this point Tatsuya was close to Kasai and Makussu waiting too see what would happen. As it seemed Makussu was going to soon strike as Makussu brings up the Tiger sign and then Ox. After seeing this Tatsuya must act for he was not sure what jutsu Makussu was going to use but it would be an offensive one. Knowing Kasia he would simply just substitute out of the situation. But in Tatsuya's mine he thought that this was no fun so he must put a stop to the substitution. Tatsuya moves quickly still shrouded to be more behind Kasai so he wont see him when Tatsuya makes his move. With that Tatsuya let goes of his jutsu and explodes from the ground like an earth quake. His food make a deep print onto the ground as Tatsuya brakes out in a full sprint. As he dashes out from the side of Kasai he yells. "Come meet the strength of the earth!!!" With that Tatsuya's inner arm meets Kasai's shoulder in a hook. As Tatsuya moves fast and how he comes out of no where he wonders if Kasai will still substitute or will he be caught off guard? If Tatsuya makes contact with Kasai they will both fly to the side and Makussu's jutsu would not hit them and Kasai would not disappear from the substitution.

(Hey Tatsuya you are being summoned.)

Makussu watched as out of nowhere Tatsuya burst forth, hitting Kasai in the shoulder before suddenly disappearing in a poof of smoke. (Really Youka? The whole thing was about to end soon.) Stopping all thoughts of fighting the opponent that was Kasai, he would hope that he would substitute away from the blast of wind for a brief questioning. "Kasai what the hell just happened to Tatsuya?," he woulds say if not attacked, seeing as Kasai may simply ignore it, you never know. "There's no way he could have substituted so quickly, unless you know a technique he could use to do that sort of thing." There were reasons for worry in all cases, seeing as he was either preparing for a sneak attack, or he had gotten kidnapped or some other thing. He would wait for Kasai to respond with a slightly worried look on his face.

Dankness would consume Tatsuya. What would happen next?

And Youka if you could approve this, that would be awesome.

Approved

Kasai's head snapped to the side at Tatsuya's yell. He knew his hands would not be fast enough to form a substitution, but perhaps he could withstand the blow, seeing as Tatsuya and himself were of almost equal strength. 
Kasai bent his knees, and braced for the impact, lowing his shoulders and locking himself in place. For one brief moment, he felt the impact, but then it was gone. 
Kasai stared at the ground where Tatsuya had been moments before. His mind briefly flashed back to the small strange mark that had appeared on their hands for only a second after shaking hands with the priest. Then of how the priest had briefly appeared before them this day. It was a terrifying idea. Kasai felt as if they were somehow connected. 
Kasai then heard Makussu speak, clearly as baffled by this as Kasai himself.
"I fear, my friend, there is something greater than ourselves at play. Tatsuya gone, and I know not for how long. I know no reason, nor a plot," Kasai said, slowly turning to Makussu. "Though I know there is dark work in the making."
Kasai wondered what they should do next. Would they continue the spar, retire for the day, or perhaps, just perhaps, they would go and seek out their friend.
