Reunification of Friends (Invite Only)

"Exactly," Kasai said, in response to Tatsuya's reply. "Yin to Yang, push to pull, the night to the day, the water to the fire, and the fire to the brush," he said, looking at his friend. "Yes, you do understand," he smiled and nodded. "It is what we were meant to do; I know it."

"There would be no other way to seal a reunification," Kasai said, smiling and bowing his head. "Though I fear that currently, your shadows are still stronger than my fire," he said, and knew it to be true. He had never devised a counter to Tatsuya's shadows, because he knew that in true combat, they would be on his side, not against them, and so Kasai had only thought of ways to enhance them. "But that doesn't mean I won't try," he said, grinning as he raised his hands to his chest, beginning to form handseals.

It was the first time that Kasai had felt the wind on his bare face and his cracked lips, and looking at the world without gazing through the holes in the mask, Kasai felt alive.

Tatsuya smiles with Kasais answer and with out a moments to loose Tatsuya jumps back to the base of a tree (2m).
Wile jumping back and a few moments after Tatsuya lands he preforms Rat→Dog→Monkey→Hare→Snake→Rat.
With the finishing rat Tatsuyas hair begins to rise slightly and a long smile stretches across his face. In the second after shadows stretch up Tatsuya's body (70) like a consuming virus and then pulls him down into a dark spotted sea. He was gone and only Doujutsu could tell where he existed.

Tatsuya would not strike immediately as he wanted to see how Kasai would react and in turn it would help Tatsuya learn more about his skill. Slithering around the dark environment, the space that he exist in is un altered so Tatsuya makes his way over to Kasai's right side. 

It was his world and his world alone. He still hadn't found any one to pass on his skill to but this was something Tatsuya was sure to do.
It was rule to create a jutsu and not share it with the world. Especially with the people you trust and love.

Waiting patiently Tatsuya looks carefully to see what Kasai will do.

(lets just say that we get the stat boost that was just approved for this topic.)

Kasai smiled, and then watched Tatsuya work his magic.

He raised and eyebrow as he watched his friend quickly dissolve into shadows, as if becoming them himself. It looked very deadly, and Kasai doubted heavily that he would be able to counter it, however, he could try. 

Quickly forming the half tiger seal, fire streamed out of Kasai's mouth (500-5 =495 ap remaining.), and then directed it at his feet, making a circle of fire around himself.

This circle, giving light off in every direction, would not spread, and cast many shadows outside of the circle, however, within that circle, because it was surrounded by light at every side, had no shadows at all. The smoke and heat of the flames no longer bothered Kasai, and he had learned to pass over them, mentally and physically. He ensured to make the circle large enough that his clothes would not catch on fire, but close enough to not allow any shadows in. 

"That's a very interesting jutsu," Kasai said, trying to watch all the shadows at the same time. "Did you make that yourself? It's very impressive if you did. I have nothing quite to match that. Very nicely done."

A fire lights up and Tatsuya is forced to retreat slightly so that he can remain in his state. Not sure on how long the fire will stay a blaze Tatsuya works towards a different plan. He did want to stay in his current form because other wise it would have been a waist of chakura. Unfortunately there were many restrictions now in play due to the fire. It was a fantastic move and one that would make it hard for Tatsuya to do anything wile in this form. As well Tatsuya was also unable to preform any other jutsus aside from other shadow manipulation jutsus. Thinking on what to do Tatsuay does find one option aside form just sitting it out. The jutsus that Kasai used was weak and Tatsuyas shadows could pierce through the flames but that would reveal his location. A little frustrated Tatsuya sees where this idea may go.

Sitting on the edge of the shadows Tatsuya decides that he must get Kasai out of his little ring of fire.
With out using any additional chakura Tatsuya extends a shadow around to Kasais back side and then due to the shadow being much stronger then the fire the shadow is able to pass through the ring of fire and into Kasais realm of safety. Then preforming Rat → Bird a tendril shoots up from the little rod of darkness and curves around just enough for Kasai to see it. In theory the shock of a deadly tendril coming towards Kasais neck would hopefully push him out.

Preforming two different jutsus wile in this state was difficult but Tatsuay was able to pull it off. This jutsu was still new to him so it would not be to his surprise if he has to pull out.

"This is very intimidating," Kasai said, but laughing. "But I cannot help but think what the thoughts of any opponent would be, when faced by such a thing. Surrounded by a ring of fire, and beyond that there is only shadows." Here, Kasai laughed more. "It would be a nightmare, I think. Even better that we are a team."

Then, he turned, snapping his head to the source of movement that he had detected out of the corner of his eye. What met Kasai was a bit of the shadow breaking through his ring of fire, and out of that shadow, a tendril rising up, threatening to strike at him. At this, Kasai jumped backwards fluidly, leaping quickly out of the reach of the tendril, however, making sure to not land in his own fire; thus resulting in him jumping outside of the ring. As he leapt, however, Kasai quicky made the horse, and then the tiger hand seals. 

After the last second of the tiger hand seal, a large ball of fire erupted from Kasai's mouth (495 - 20 =475), aimed directly at the tendril of shadow. The fireball traveled at 20 speed with 20 power towards the tendril of shadows. If it were to hit, Kasai did not know what the results would be, however, as it traveled, this ball of blazing light would disrupt the light around them, altering shadows as it went. He would be quickly ready for his usual jutsu if the shadows were to do anything more strange than what has already occured.

(475 ap remaining.)

The flames  die down and the shadows return. With out hesitation Tatsuya dashes towards Kasai and once he is nearly underneath him he springs up and tackles him with enough force to bring him to the ground.
Tatsuya had come form the ground right under Kasai so it would be quite difficult to dodge in any shape or form.
Having pinned Kasai he says.

"Well that was a quick spar but sparing was not what we came here to do." Getting off Kasai and helping him up "It is good to see you old friend and I can tell that our paths which exist almost incidentally, have a hard future in front of them."

Tatsuya smiles and wonders what Kasai's response will be as it should be interesting like always.
They exchange a few words and soon exit the forest back into the village they call home.

It all went by very quickly, but the next thing that Kasai knew, the very ground below him was shifting.
He likely could have stopped it, or moved away in time, but Kasai was not the biggest fan of fights, and so he let his friend quickly pin him, though Tatsuya's new speed was very great, more so than anticipated, and he wondered if he would have 
been able to escape if he had wanted to.

"You are very fast, friend. More so than before," he said, bowing when Tatsuya would release him. "And as difficult as the path ahead of us may be, I know that I will always have a friend, and I can assure you that you will as well," he said, smiling.
