Re: Such a Coincidence (P, NK)

After looking around a bit and listening to Kenshin explain exactly what he had seen happen Tank began to think. He didn't know much about anything that could teleport people instantly. To be honest the only thing he knew about that stuff at all was that there was a jutsu called the summoning jutsu. It sounded like a promising lead, but Tank having no knowledge of it other than having heard its name before would keep his mouth shut for now. He could see that Kenshin was angered and worried which was surprising to Tank considering Kenshin's usual indifference toward things. Although he could relate to the feeling. There was a feeling in Tank's stomach that almost made him sick. A fluttering that he only ever got when he was terribly nervous. Looking on as Kenshin seemed to be coming to some sort of idea Tank would walk toward Kenshin who was now standing in the middle of the training grounds and ask him "Do you have any ideas on what happened?"

Sun Nov 02, 2014 6:43 pm

"I do" he spoke firmly as he looked upon Tank with his cold, crimson red eyes, the tomoe within them gently spinning around his pupil before coming to a firm stop as his expression become much calmer. His posture becoming more rigid than before he seemed to be trying to suppress his frustration though his body still showed signs of it with his stance. "I would have to guess that somebody had placed a seal upon Kemuri at some point and has no summoned him. A possibility but unlikely unless that priest who was here earlier happens to be the one who did it". Turning away from Tank once again Kenshin would merely stare up towards the clouds that rolled across the sky, attempting to sooth his anger so that he could think clearly, and considering if it was the priest then it was likely one of them would be teleported next.

Tank listened to Kenshin speak and perked up a bit when Kenshin said that he did have an idea as to what had happened. Listening carefully Tank's guess seemed to be Kenshin's aswell although Kenshin seemed to know a lot more about this stuff than Tank did. Noticing Kenshin relaxing a bit, but he still seemed a bit rigid and it was obvious he was trying to calm himself so he could think completely clearly about the situation. If Kenshin was right then that meant that the only lead they had was the priest from earlier. To be honest Tank didn't think it was the priest at first, Then thinking about it a bit he did think that it was weird for a priest to challenge several shinobi to a sparring session. From Tank's knowledge he only knew of priest and monks that fought to protect themselves. Never to train or test themselves with ninja. This made Tank think that maybe the priest outfit was a disguise and he was merely there to place these marks that Kenshin spoke about on Kemuri. However it didn't take long for Tank to connect the dots and see that if it was indeed the preist who was up to this then he might have been marked aswell. Walking up next to Kenshin Tank would say "If it was that priest then there is a good chance I was marked aswell." Tank obviously sounded worried, but no scared. The fluttering in his stomach however told another story entirely.

Turning to Tank he would nod approvingly, accepting the fact that it was very likely that he and Tank were both marked as well. "I understand this, and you should likely stay ready at all times for if that priest is the one behind this, it will be likely that he'll take us as well". Turning away from Tank once again the crimson would fade from his eyes and the tomoe would spin back into his pupil to return the onyx coloring of his eye. It was obvious that Kenshin had no more need of it as there was no way he could track their friend and even if he could he did not have the means to do so. Deciding all that was left to do was wait Kenshin would simply sit, hoping that either Kemuri would return or at least the priest would summon him first.

Looking off in the distance Tank would listen to Kenshin speak and think about what he would do if he was summoned away. Mostly all that came to mind was fighting back as best he could. Maybe they should have sparred with the priest to get a look at what he was capable of. But hindsight is always twenty twenty and they had no reason to believe he was anything more than a priest at the time. "Well if we might be taken like Kemuri possibly was then we should be ready to fight back." Knowing that his best asset was his taijutsu skills Tank decided he needed to master this earth spear jutsu as fast as possible so he could make use of it if he needed to. Sitting down a few meters away from Kenshin Tank would begin focusing the earth chakra in all different parts of his body to make sure he could use the jutsu wherever he needed it in the future. While doing this he thought to himself that hopefully Kemuri had simply turned into smoke and wandered off somewhere. Though the odds of that seemed less and less for every minute that passed after his abrupt dissappearance. It was begining to come into focus for Tank that most likely his new friend had been taken away and he had no way of helping him. This made Tank feel useless, but also a bit angry at whoever had done this. In Tank's head though the only face he could picture was the priest's face as the capture of his friend. Over and over he invisioned himself beating the priest into a pulp for what he assumed he had done. Now with several minutes passed Tank would attempt to cover his entire body in the earth spear jutsu. This would most likely be the best way to use the jutsu so he didn't have to react to everything as it was happening. The best defense is the one that is already up he would think to himself. That way you can make the attacker come at you the way you want them to. Force them into a situation that benfits your strengths. Moving his gaze up from the ground Tank looked at Kenshin and wondered what he was thinking about and if he had any sort of plan for whatever might happen next.

Watching as Tank spoke and seemingly practiced his jutsu, Kenshin would decide doing the same would likely benefit him, sharpen his skills to a higher level before he was possibly taken away and forced into combat with no others to rely on, not like he had ever done it in the first place. Slowly making his way from Tank at a slow pace he would stare upwards at the sky, wondering what Kemuri was currently experiencing, the likeliness of him currently being in a struggle for his life was rather high, however the exact opposite was also true. Perhaps Kemuri was summoned by this priest, but the priest could very well be a man who simply wants to speak to Kemuri, or possibly get him to join him as a companion, a more acceptable and peaceful thought rather than one of the few people he considered a friend being in a life or death struggle. The one thing Kenshin couldn't seem to wrap his mind around however was the fact that neither him or Tank had been summoned yet, a rather long time to just keep two others in a position to tell the more powerful shinobi what this priest has likely done and have him hunted and slain like a beast. Perhaps that was exactly what the priest was looking for, something as simple as attention, his parents likely not paying enough attention to him as a child, forcing him to abduct young adults that he likely found attractive in the most horrible manner, a pedophile was what this man might be, a laughable thought to say the least. Thinking more deeply on the manner it wouldn't be the first time some priest turned out to be a pedophile, a mean receiving a sexual favor from a woman specifically was against their code was it not? Regardless Kenshin would arrive several dozen meters away from Tank, an acceptable distance for him to begin training.

Raising his hands to chest height Kenshin would quickly form the tiger handseal and begin focusing chakra within his abdomen, preparing an exceptional amount so that he could release a true torrent of flames, the size of which Tank had likely never laid eyes upon, even larger than his previous display by a large margin. His head suddenly springing forward flames would become spewing from his lips at an unbelievable rate, spreading wide and roaring loudly so that all within a wide range could hear its power. Spreading across the training grounds it was obviously aimed away from all others, the bright glow of the torrential flames illuminating the entire area known as the training grounds, easily catching the attention of many young shinobi. Many of the ones who had just graduated from the academy and ones that were still within it looking upon the mass of flames in awe and fear, not fully understanding how such wide spread destruction was even possible by one shinobi. The flames dispersing just as quickly as they rolled across the field would leave all others with only the visage of Kenshin as his sharingan eyes glowed dimly, the eyes of hatred, the curse of his clan, and the strongest weapon Kenshin would ever posses, if he knew it now or not. His eyes eventually falling upon Tank he would speak loudly to make sure he could hear him. "If that man wishes to take us away as well, he better be ready if he has harmed Kemuri, for he will not find us easy opponents". His words spoken confidently, obviously believing that regardless of how strong this man might be, he was not strong enough to find no challenge in either of them.

The Demon materialized one meter next to Kenshin after he finished speaking. He had used the mark on the boys hand as a stabilizing point to teleport to. It was refreshing not having to actually walk anymore as long as he had been there or had someone on the inside.

"Hello again kids, are you ready to be reunited with your friends?"

Sun Nov 09, 2014 6:23 pm

Tank continued his ficus on the earth spear jutsu that he ad been practicing off and on all day long. He also moved around a bit practicing a few of his taijutsu techniques while he was using the earth spear jutsu so he could make sure that they all performed the same way while he was using the jutsu. While he did this he kept an eye on Kenshin who had walked a decent distance away for some reason. It was rather obvious why he had done this after he performed a hand seal and inhaled. Watching and waiting for a jutsu to be sprouted from Kenshin's mouth Tank continued his shadow boxing session imaging an enemy in front of him so he could get the placement of his attacks where he wanted them. When Kenshin released his massive flames from his mouth it surprised Tank as they were even larger than the first fire jutsu he had use to begin the training of Kemuri and his water element training. It was a testament to just how much stronger Kenshin was than him at the time. As the flames died down Kenshin's figure was a silhouette against the light that was slowly dimming away. Yet this silhouette had one defining attribute, the sharingan. As the light from Kenshin's flames died siwn he could hear the words that he spoke and it was reassuring to know that Kenshin had his back even if Tank was a bit of a liability at the moment. Then out of nowhere Youka or the priest as Tank knew him would seemingly materialize about one meter to the left of Kenhsin and say something that confirmed his and Kenshin's suspicions. It seemed this priest had taken Kemuri, but possibly even more people as he implied there was more than one person had been taken. Of course Tank had to remain calm and get to Kenshin so they could stand united against the priest. Releasing his earth spear jutsu Tank began walking toward the two "So it seems you were the one who took Kemuri then?"

Near instantly deactivating his sharingan as the man spoke he turned his head away purposely to hide the fact he had such an ability, something that was not a thing one should reveal to possible opponents. With his right hand however he quickly reached behind his back, digging into the pouch that was strapped to his lower back to quickly grip the hilt of a kunai. His other hand simply held limp at his side he turned to Youka, an intense look in his eyes as he processed the words he had just spoken. Admitting that he had abducted Kemuri was one thing, but luckily he mentioned nothing of what he had done to him and only questioned if they wanted to see him. Oddly however he spoke as if it were not just Kemuri that he had, regardless the only one that he even remotely cared for was Kemuri, the rest could be dead for all he cared. His hand quickly being brought forward with a kunai within his grasp he would point it towards the mans throat, only held less than a foot away, his frustration with Youka being rather prominent. "Where is he and what have you done with him?" he spoke with a scowl, his tone revealing his full intent to kill Youka if he had harmed Kemuri though he cared little about his friend actually being abducted.

The Demon let out a slight laugh at the young boys taunts and attempts at trying to be anything but the sheltered child he was. What a foolish way to attempt to strike at someone, especially so close without following through. If the Demon had wanted, Kenshins entire attack could have been thrown off center and used against him do to the over extension of his arm. It would have been a very quick and very painful death for the child, however that's not why he was here.

"Of course I'm the one that took them. A strange man enters your village and goes out of his way to touch everyone of you. You all are not that important. If your kunai happy friend here doesn't want to lose his life he'll lower his hand."

There was no need for him to get angry or show just how serious he was. After all the boy was merely trying to play strong in the face of something he didn't understand. His place was at the bottom of a shit pile, but just like a fly he treated it as gold.

"Your friend is only alive for as long as you both follow me to where he is. I took him as insurance that you both would follow to find him. By the way your friend is acting, I would say he cares almost as if they both shared a bed. Don't do anything stupid,I'm in contact with my associate right now, if I don't come back with the both of you not only does he die but you add four more to your conscious. Not that it matters because I will make quick work of both of you as well. What say you, are you going to meet him or do I have to end you both here?"
