Below the Surface (Cutie Pie Nomo <3)

The big white koi hissed, spitting water onto nomo (this can and will not hurt her, just get her wet) "I do not take kindly to intimidation. It so happens that the only people I and majority of the other koi haved worked for for over four centuries, are members of an exctinct clan, for they hath returned our scroll which was stolen from us. That is why we holed ourselves up in here... to prevent the injustice done upon us. Karma hath also reigned in out favor. The members of the clan that stole our scroll are indeed cursed and wiped out." The Koi Turned and Splashed the are of the cave that held the two girls and their familiars, again soaking them but not harming them. "Be-"

The Loud-mouthed koi was about to Shout "BEGONE" again, but Ayame interrupted. "I am of the Nezumichi Clan, the clan you spoke of. I wish to partner with your species"

The koi froze and turned back to the girls in shock, and then in anger." How DARE you make false claims such as these! The last clan member that summoned us told us about the dwindling of the clan! It is impossible!"

Aya stammered, standing up and becoming a little irritated. "It is no Lie!" She yelled, her voice squeaking cutely, as she normally didn't yell. It wasn't all that intimidating either. "It is my birthright!"

"Then prove it!" The fish boomed. "Show me the Yureigan!"

Aya widened her eyes in disbelief. "I-" she stuttered out falling silent.

"You? You WHAT?" The koi sassed her agressively.

"I do not know how!" She said speaking up a little.

"Then I refuse to believe you." He grumbled turning away and getting ready to dive back down.

"Wait!" she called taking a step foreward, but due to being barefoot she slipped into the water face first and came up treading water. "I can draw the symbol! I have a rat as well! I meet the criteria! She called.

The Koi stopped at her feet noticing something odd between her toes. Something only Nezumichi clan members have. He ordered a small golden koi to investigate.

Aya swam back to the edge and tried to get up but was pulled under by the large koi's whiskers. The water was clear near the top so if Kira wanted to see what was happening she could. Ayame was now in the center of the pool and two feet under.

The Large koi stared her in the face for a minute and then thrust her up to the surface with his nose. He delved down to get the scroll.

Ayame, confused, came up coughing as she couldn't hold her breath for very long. Again she paddled to the side again, but was unable to get up due to the slippery-ness.

The large white Koi was now enveloped in the darkness and could not be seen by Aya.

"OH YEA YOU UGLY FISH WELL I HAVE A....." She was cut off as the small girl ayume spoke up, saying she just happened to be in the clan that this wierd creature was talking about. She froze mid angry remark, standing like that for several moments before something seemed to happen. Ayame was tossed about, which drew a sigh form the lips of the ten tailed demon of gelel. Allowing the power of her own clan to flow she would use her chakra to raise up a tendril of shadow, reaching downward to where Ayame now tread water, and offering it as assitance to allow the girl to raise up.

"that... Didn't work well miss. " The pixie, bless her heart didn't even realize that this was absolutely not the time for her to comment. Kira knew she meant well and as such simply ignored the small creature in her hand, letting Ayame continue with what she was doing with the Koi as she channeled more medical energy into her familiar.

"Thanks Aya" Aya said as she was helped up just in time to have a scroll tossed at her rear end.

The Big white fish surfaced. "To Hide... To Conceal... That is what your parents had wished for you at Birth" he boomed, sounding slightly relaxed and very wise. "Had you chosen to follow that, you would not be where you are now. If you accept your fate, you may sign."

"H-how?" Aya asked picking up the huge scroll from the ground. "Nomo, have you done this before?" she asked.

"Yep. " From the fishnet overshirt she wore, a symbol of her heritage within the Nara clan, she drew a senbon offering it to her. "Just cut yourself and sign in blood, easy peasy. " THe pixie was finally getting bored with this game, finding laying still to be by far the worst possible idea. As kira continued to channel chakra into her body, using it in new and interesting ways, she would first start to fidget, shifting away from the girls hands.

"Shuurin. Stay still. " She concentrated specifically on using her technique to search the small princess of the fae's body for toxins. She'd heard about the delicate illeness technique, and through this she was certain she'd understand how to perform it. Shuurin, who was generally the easiest of the pair to deal with, was not however interested in listening. SHe turned about in the girl's hand as Kira struggled to keep connection between the child and her hand, giggling wildly the entire time. damn her, Kira thought. The worst part was she couldn't actually even be upset about the child's responses. It was exactly the kind of thing that the small pixie was well known for doing. Still she would not be beaten, and used her thumb to hold the pixie still.

Aya took the senbon and cut her index finger and then opened the scroll with her uninjured hand. She found a blank spot and signed her name. Ayame Nezumichi. She then noticed the fingerprints in blood so she wet each one in her own blood and pressed her hand below the signature. It dried relatively quick so she rolled the scroll back up and heaved it back toward the Large koi who caught it and tucked it under his massive pectoral fin. "It is done. Please take leave of this place and tell no one."
He said. "If they want to summon us, it would be better for them to go through you."

Aya nodded and found the mask she was given earlier by Nomo.

"Ready to go?" she asked Nomo. "And thank you for helping me, I really Appreciate it."

"Sure not an issue. I got a bit of work done which is nice. plus it's always nice to help the next generation." With little need to actually follow behind the girl now she took off, desummoning the pixie and drake to ensure she wouldn't have to worry about their ability to breathe. Pulsing chakra back into the mask to call out the small breathing tube she was off through the water in a flash, her speed incredible compared to the young girl. It took her barelly moments to make it to the surface, but still she'd wait for the girl to catch up.

"If you ever need training or something again just drop me a line ok? " Assuming their task was over she'd head back to the forest to resume the tasks of the head of the nara clan.

Aya followed slowly behind and it took her a bit to emerge. Once she did she gave both the senbon and the mask back to Nomo. "Alright, I'll remember that!" Aya said putting on her shoes. She began her long trudge home, yet again soaked. She got what she came for, and learned a little along the way, like what her tattoo meant. And she also came away with a new acquaintance.
