A Heroes Beginning? [Dual Contract Search]

[Keigo Oen]

His eyes were in a state of shock he wasnt at all sure that he would have survived the attack but he was going to try to do something, anything to ensure he would be able to help. It was fine though, seeing as Tsukasa made her way through with a lightning technique that he never saw before. He'd never seen anyone really use lightning, but to cut lightning with lightning seemed real enough for him. He'd have to ask her about the technique after this would transpire. '...She's gonna be Tsukasa Sensei for a while isnt she...' he thought to himself, clearly there was more to her than she led on. Especially with her crashing into the ground and beginning to speak about something, most of which he didnt hear himself but he heard her muttering. Maybe that was it. Maybe that was the idea that he would have to take from this... He had to think about what she was. Who she was... and why she had a wooden limb. Maybe she lost the hand in battle a long time ago? She was slightly reckless like him but more calculated.

"I'll try better next time...", he would eventually respond, taking note to look up to the feline that had stopped its assault. Causing Shida and Aki to come back to their side before the attack that would have blown the feline to bits seemingly missed. Landing the Feline beast to be behind the Paw Patrol. Nodding, Sushi would smirk as he'd turn his head seeing the amethyst furred feline standing there. Thinking to himself maybe he should continue the assault himself, or maybe he would look to bind the kitty to get answers. Which he would think to do now! Looking to Tsukasa once more Sushi boy found himself rolling his shoulders back a bit, "Friends fight together, defend each other and are loyal! You are no match for all of us! So why dont you just get out of here before we give you a bath! I know how you cats -love- being dipped in water.", he didnt have any Suiton techniques, so on that note he was bluffing. However, after saying that he remembered that Tsukasa had that Shark thing she made! She had to have a mastery over the elements at this pace. He was ready for her to pull out some Fire and Earth Techniques!

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

A wave of relief encompasses the kuniochi, the technique she utilizes merely splits the assault in half and the two pieces clearly a step above what she were able to perform; lightning based techniques were not her specialty and fortune shines brilliant upon the pair. Truth to be told, she cares not for the canines wellbeing, but the safety of the honey hair youth and thus would defend those he choose to side with. Fortunately, however, Shida and companion were quite capable in their own right as Mikasa found herself caught off guard by the sudden quaking of terra – nearly stumbling about.

The impact of the pair of techniques colliding would erupt in a flume of smoke; her arm instinctively rises to defend her gaze, unsure of the outcome. Much to their dismay, the feline remained unscratched and expertly evades the technique while out of their immediate vision. “Friends?” she questions the size of the pack once more, though it was clear that there were others in some sort of danger. While Suyashi spoke of glamour and loyalty, the medical chief was uncertain how powerful the feline truly were and didn’t wish to find out unless completely necessary. The Minamoto was furthermore quick to bluff of his use of the Suiton element, though for all she knew, he may be well capable of producing at least a stream of water.

“Shida-kun, what do you suggest we do?” she inquires, glancing towards the landing spot of the pup. Were they to ignore the creature of deceit and race towards the remaining members of the pack or would the oversized kitten stand before them? Wiping against her brow, the maiden shakes off the perspiration, utilizing two high level techniques back to back was certainly draining and she was finding difficulty already due to the impact against the terrain from prior moments.​

 

[Chikamatsu Shin]

Shida's face went blank. He could hear the heart beating within his own ears. The feline said she had met the rest if his pack and that they were no match for her. Anger slowly filling his body the puppy took a step forward. "What do you mean they were no match for you." He had three other pups in his pack. If she couldn't provide detail he wouldn't believe her. As the two canines let out low growls the cat began to laugh. Slipping from the feline's split lips the perspective of their situation changed. "Easy. I first met the dog with yellow fur. The one that could use lightning, what was his name again? Haru-something? I don't know he didn't survive very long. Killing him was easy. Then came the little pink pitbull. She was quite fun. If only her bite was as strong as her water jutsu then I may have had trouble ripping her throat out. Need I go one about the wind adept mutt that looked more like a hyena than a dog?" the laughter from the cat grew louder.

Aki looked at Tsukasa as Shida was petrified. "This cat is a mercenary. She kills packs before they can become beta in order to prevent our numbers from strengthening" Aki looked back at Shida. "What should we do Shida?" The puppy' s tail tucked between his legs as he took a step back. Aki saw this and yelled at his leader. "Shida, what should we do?!"

"I-I..." The laughter from the cat lowered to a deep chuckle from her chest. "What's wrong puppy? Cat got your tongue?" with that the leopard vanished, sending a cloud of dust behind her as she darted forward to the Paw Patrol. Lightning surged from her body and focused on her claws. Shida was frozen and couldn't moved, Aki on the other hand barked loudly which snapped his leader out of it. The small brown dog leaped forward to go in for an attack but the cat vanished from his sight only to reappear behind Sayushi. Stretching her claws out three blades made of pure lightning protruded from them. Acting with muscle memory Shida jumped towards Sushi to push him away.

A flash of bright light and it happened. Catching the blow before Sayushi would get hit Shida took the blunt of the jungle cat's blades. The three sharp edges slid through his body with ease, cutting the young canine's torso in half. His lifeless body hit the ground. Aki turned around to see what happened as this all happened in a mere moment.

Tears began to dwell in his eyes."SHIIIDA!" The cat had already left the spot even before the two sections of what was once Shida thudded against the earth. The leopard landed on her feet a few meters north of the party. Her head low and ready to attack again.

 

[Keigo Oen]

What was this feeling? Dreading every moment, the feelings that his body and efforts would be inconsequential, Bzzt the air around Suyashi began to grow deep with static. At this point, Sushi boy seemed to be waiting, waiting for the moment to move. Anticipation grew with every wave of grass around them. Craters covered the once lush scenery, now covered in the air of iniquity, and blood shed of the moments before this. This feline was more than those shoddy alley cats that Suyashi fought. This was more than just another kitty cat, this was a beast... much like a lion before them. Ready to pounce, and take them out. They would have to stay on their toes, The Honey maned boy clenched his fists, as he listened on to what this cat seemed to spout about. 'Did this beast, kill the other of this pack? No... No, I'll stop this.' nodding to himself. Though he just knew that Shida would have to act quickly. Suyashi had an idea in his head but he would work on the lead of the young pup as he was young as well... he wanted Shida to know what it was to lead.

However, in his hesitation, the feline would begin to make her move. Even more so she seemed to be coming at... him. Suyashi! 'Crap! She's fast!', precisely as she seemed to move, Shida would leap into the fray! Leaping and launching his body into Suyashi's effectively pushing out of the way of the strike! Though staggered Suyashi would tumble and slide to the wayside, but as he'd quickly popped his head back up, he'd seen that this was not the vision he would want to see... Shida, split in two, his body laying lifeless and unmoved as the feline laid her paws between the pieces, BZZZT! the static would crackle into the air as Suyashi felt his body twitch - Lightning Chakra Style: Static Charge. His eyes swelling up, but his body beginning to go into its most darkest of instincts. His friend, his comrade was not with this world anymore, and he'd given his life to save the boy. But why? Shida and Suyashi were one in the same, cut from the same cloth, and now there was a rip in the cloth. One piece no longer there...

". . .I. . .I wont forgive you. . . I will never forgive you for what you've done!", looking at the pieces of Shida's body, almost as if his eyes were now glazed over he couldnt hold back anymore, he'd take up where Shida left off! And without another moment's hesitation he found himself rushing deep into the fray towards the Cat, "AKI, TSUKASA COVER ME!" with that said Suyashi would seemingly spark his hands with chakra and he'd shoot a web of electric chakra out to paralyze the Feline in her place! Lightning Channeled: Electrocution, His body didnt really move on its own, but he would look to do preserve the ideals of Shida. To pull his pack up together! This was the way it had to be... He would avenge his friend. And he would look to knowing this Kitty out.

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

Textbooks foretell a life ends as another begins, however the spark of existence fizzles out with every blink of an eye. Regrettably the medical-chief lapses in judgment, the feline beginning another assault and forcing the pup to intervene to protect the academy student. The canine tears into two, thudding against the ground lifelessly as the medic-nin can only stare forward, unable to decipher the situation unraveling before her very eyes. Fueled by rage, Suyashi recklessly bursts forward towards the villainous creature, wishing nothing more than erase its existence the same as Shida’s had been taken. Azure optics trail against the carnage, yet Mikasa manages to snap her attention to the importance at hand, the Minamoto teen.

Clapping her hands against one another, the maidens ocean eyes illuminate and brings forth a rain, Rain Dance</COLOR></GLOW><i></i>. Mikasa knew herself very well, her chakra pool dissipates to a bit below half way and the time she requires to renew the energy source would not present itself. Extending her right arm outwards, threads of chakra begin latch against the remainders of the pup and with a faint tugging the two halves surge towards her locatio. At her current rate of expenditure, she perhaps had enough chakra for two larger techniques; taking the risk she presses her digits against the canine, her flesh begins to stain with the crimson and bodily fluids. Threads begin to pierce through the pooch, as if sowing a doll together - <GLOW glow="teal"><COLOR color="green">Resuscitate. Regardless of the outcome, her mentality of the creature technically fueled with momentary life lingers, the kunoichi performing her natural sworn duty as a medic.

Teal chakra floods outwards to envelop Shida, coating the pup in a veil of light in hopes of mending the canine into a solid piece. In the rear of her mind, she knew the chance of success was low – extremely low and utilizing a high volume of regenerative chakra places her in a dilemma. Tsukasa Mikasa’s pool less than a quarter. No words were needed, she fears to tell a lie of the status of the child, coming to a stand and she allows the course of nature to occur; although Mikasa hopes her chakra veil enough to revitalize the pup. Extending a crimson digit outwards, Water Gun, rapid consecutive uses would provide Suyashi with cover.​

[Chikamatsu Shin]

Aki's gaze was locked onto Shida's body as she watched the medical woman try and bring him back together. The heavens would begin to weep as the stream of tears came down from the sky just as heavy as it did from the small furry animal's eyes. This corpse that laid before them was not only her leader but her friend. She would watch as the medical justu enveloped the small pup's body with no obvious effect. He had already passed on. The soul that was known as Shida no longer resided in that body or in this plane. Snickering could be heard from the wretched viper of a cat from across the battle field. "Oops, did I do that? Oh well one less mutt filling this world with it's disgust."[/b] Aki was taken aback for a mere second. Chakra pouring out of her and into the ground. She turned to gaze at the murderous beast. "SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!!!!"<i></i>

Slamming her feet on the ground the young puppy named Aki summonsed forth a wave of wave of Earth Style Ninjutsu. The path between shockingly blonde and the fiendish purple creature became quite clear as the earth would circle around the two rivaling parties. Blocking any exists there would have to be confrontation one way or another, and Aki knew what she had to do. With a howl from the deepest part of her soul the earthen tunnel would launch spikes towards the feline as the boy's electrical webs paralyzed the cat. All she could feel was rage. Rage that her den leader was taken from her, rage that her den mates' lives were lost to this monster. Rage that she was the only one left. She understood what this mean to her Pack but she wouldn't not let their death's be in vain. She didn't care what happened to her, if she became a cursed Lone Beta. She needed this to happen for their sake. The Feline let out a scream as she tried to resist the electricity, even by the means of trying to cast out her own electrical arching streams at the boy as he approached, but unfortunately the woman's water currents blasted them off of course to aid the boy in cover.

What was his intents upon reaching the purple leopard?

Would the electrical web and earth spires be enough to restrain her?

Tune in next time on A Heroes Beginning?​

 

[Keigo Oen]

Moving his body he would see that the feline was trapped, locked with his ninjawire and lightning snare. It wouldnt have the paralysis effects forever and Sushi knew that, but he would not take this with a grain of salt as he was still feeling the residual effects of the rage that coursed through him with the death of Shida, this was not going to be something that he would ever forget and with every shred of his sanity Suyashi would feel within him the depths that this would take him to. Though, he did not know this Aki, the pup was a friend of Shida's and thus was a friend of Suyashi's it didnt matter what he was going through, Sushi would have to calm himself in this moment to console the small pup, landing to his feet he'd stand above the Feline after Tsukasa's attack caused the Leopard's attack to misfire. "I'll never forgive you for what you've done to Shida... You are a monster preying on these pups that only wanted to become leaders! They wanted to grow and Mature! And you took that away from them! Each one you killed, and each one you caused harm to...", Suyashi shook his head looking back to Aki he'd trot over to the pup before holding it in his arms holding him down tightly trying to help the pour young pup.

"Its okay Aki... We will take this cat back to your pack leaders, You helped us subdue this feline.", nodding he would look down to the pup then to Tsukasa, "Is there a chance we could make it so she couldnt move?", tilting his head to the side for a moment he'd wonder what would come of this, all he knew was he'd continue Shida's journey, to become a leader in his own right! He would make Shida Proud, and maybe he would live up to the same valor and spunk that Shida had within him. This was a Hero's beginning after all, and some stories didnt start with a happy butterfly feel. Sometimes they began at the journey caused by deaths and mutilations. At any pace, Sushi would think about it for a moment, what if this feline didnt travel alone? What if she was like those cats in the alley? He'd be on his toes, prepped and ready for what would come next... but his first concern was making sure Aki was safe, so if anything would come at him... He'd throw all of his jutsu out in an attempt to help.

Maybe he would help... but maybe the pack leaders that Shida spoke about would give them direction as to what would happen next with this feline.

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

No words were required, the medical kunoichi presses past the honeydew lad, the oceanic gaze no longer shimmering with brilliance. The feline continues to cause anguish to the pup, the trauma would forever rest in the heart of the canine and Sushi. Fortunately the young shinobi scoops Aki into his awaiting arms, doing his best to comfort the pooch as Mikasa continues her trek forward. Had the maiden not taken the situation serious? Doubt clutches at the edges of her mind, wriggling their foul presence into her thoughts. Unable to escape the gravity of her actions, her body becomes heavy, yet she has to hold on.

Snippets of electricity trace against her features, the occasional jolts cleanly slice into the cloth of her attire and trickles of crimson waltz along her flesh. Taking advantage of the anguish the feline is suffering, the platinum mane frolics about in the kunoichi's wake and in time her gloved hand presses against her lips. Digits gently tug against the leather to reveal the creation beneath, puppetry gears click and clack against one another. The prosthetic not important, she didn't normally showcase what normal were hidden by mere thread, yet one would be able to take notice of an odd azure flower in the center of the creation. Thrusting her palm outwards, the prosthetic hand halts mere inches from the feline, water begins to gush outwards at an alarming rate and causing the electricity to conduct through the and in a mater of moments the water condenses to formulate a sphere around the creature - Water Prison.

It matters not what is to unravel, the creature would not be released. "Stop holding on, I know everything is heavy. Just go let, you will be set free." she whispers, her azure optics illuminating momentarily. This were to be her final effort, her chakra pool nearing the bottom; although it matters not for she would protect her own pack - her students.​

 

[Chikamatsu Shin]

As the boy would comfort the small puppy tears would roll out of her eyes. Letting out a deep howl, Aki screamed to the heavens to mourn the loss of her den mates. She was alone and didn't know what she was going to do. Nuzzling into the boy's chest Aki's moans and howling became softly muffled. The earthen tunnel conjured would fade back into the regular environment as the pup's chakra was essentially gone. All seemed to be coming to a resolution when Mikasa would cast her Water Prison causing the feline mercenary to be trapped in the Med-Nin's spell. Our story seemed to becoming lighter after the painful lose of Shida, but this feeling wouldn't last long. Almost as if appearing out of nowhere a sense of dread and raged filled the entire area. This aura was strong and could rival that of even the strongest kage's.

This sense of chakra would soon be accompanied by a strong bolt of black lightning that would pierce through the water prison holding the leopard. The water of the prison would slowly turn red as the the bolt would puncture straight through the feline's heart before exiting through the other side of the sphere. Striking the ground the lightning would conjure into a form with four legs that stood at six or seven feet tall, even as all four paws were on the earth. "Aki. Status report. Where are the others?"<i></i> The voice came from what now appeared to be a rottweiler and the owner of the massive chakra and threatening aura. His eyes were as pitch black as his fur. His snarling voice sounded more like a growl than actual speech. It was clear that this was no ordinary canine, even comparing to those like Shida or Aki.

 

[Keigo Oen]

Holding the small female pup in his arms he'd sigh looking over his shoulder to Shida, and he was brought to an accordance of a song that played in his head, 'Who cares when someone's time runs out? If a moment is all we are We're quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do. . .' It was simple, this moment, this day was something he would take with him for years. He would never let someone die under his care, under his watch, even if that meant learning medical jutsu, even if that meant joining ANBU or fighting on the front lines for the safety of others. He would put everything on the line, as he did not care for his own life... but the lives of his friends. It was that notion that would give him solace in the times to come in the future, standing up with Aki still in his arms he would sigh, Looking to Tsukasa and before he'd have any chance to speak a blinding flash of illuminate gold would glow across his visuals.

"WOAH!", he'd step back with Aki in is clutches holding her tightly as he felt his body begin to twinge again ready for the fight to begin again, but this time the chakra he felt was overwhelming. Far stronger than Sushi, Aki, and Tsukasa together... Maybe Tsukasa would be able to take it, whatever it is. Though he was no match, and even then he would stand strong with his chest out a bit as he looked at the canine here, Large.. Much larger than him and he was on all fours. "...S-sir? If I may... We fought that nasty cat! And we were able to subdue it but she said she had killed all the others! Aki and Shida fought valiantly, but Shida lost his life saving mine!", he'd shout getting in his emotions a bit.

"Aki did well too! Because of her we were able to tie the cat up and Tsukasa-Sensei locked her in the Prison...", enough of the rambling, the Feline had died as well due to the crimson tint the prison was now filled with. Suyashi didnt know what to feel, such trauma was apart of the shinobi life, but maybe there was a way around all the death? Maybe there was a way to defeat people and lock them away? Looking back to Tsukasa he would just slump his shoulders down before lowering his vision to Aki, "I wish we could have saved Shida...", he;d let out with a tear dripped sigh.

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

Translucent waters turn to crimson, the light within the eyes of the beast dissipate and become hollow. Electricity liters the airway, hairs upon her neck stand at immediate attention of another potential threat arriving on the scene; the massive amount of chakra nearly overwhelming and even at her full capacity she unsure how long she could last against such a monstrosity. Perspiration trickles down the brow of the of the medical chief, the jutsu she maintains dispelling and the feline falters against the soil with a loud thud. "Raiton jutsu...?" she murmurs, leaping back to take a firm stance, her digits wearily clutch at kunai. Admittedly, she has no chakra remaining to combat with, however she places herself between the lad and pup versus the overbearing presence.

Booming vocals accompany the creature, the canine towering over the platinum hair woman, who only stands at a solid one hundred and sixty-two centimeters. "Shida protected the child here with his own life." Mikasa reaffirms the story of the Minamoto, swinging her arm outwards to halt the advancement of Suyashi. "It was due to my carelessness. I should've paid closer attention to him and I underestimated the feline." she murmurs, taking a step forward in a reckless fashion. Completely drained of chakra, her chest heaving out of exhaustion, yet she still finds the strength to move forward to gaze upwards against the behemoth.

"Do what you will with me, however allow the student safe back passage to his home." she states firmly, azure orbs narrowing against the a Rottweiler prior to faltering to a kneel; her legs pressing against the crimson liquid oozing from the feline a few yards in the distance. No further words were necessary, to allow the death of another unforgivable and all that mattered was Minamoto Suyashi's safety at this stage, for out running the creature would result in loss of both of their lives.​

[Chikamatsu Shin]

As if everything the humans were saying didn't matter the beast of a dog let out a strong and intimidating bark. "Silence!"<i></i> The rottweiler bared it's teach as it stepped toward the party. "Aki. I asked for a status report! Don't make me ask you again."<i></i> His body could invoke fear even to the heart of a fully grown man. He was impatient and he couldn't care less what these hairless apes had to say. He asked his subordinate, a pup, for a status report and he demanded to know what happened. Aki, knowing this would not end well if she did not respond to Kimijun that everyone present would suffer the consequences. Leaping out from Sayushi's arms and stepping in front of Mikasa the young pup's teary eyes were gazzed as the ground as she started to speak.

"I'm sorry sir..."<i></i> She turned her gaze up to the large beast. "Our training mission was a failure resulting in the fatalities of my entire pack with the sole exception of myself."<i></i> She once again lowered her head. She knew that this could mean banishment from returning home and being branded as a Lone Wolf. She knew the consequences of losing your entire pack, as without a pack a dog is nothing. "I have come to terms with my banishment. Without a pack I know I am useless to the greater order..."<i></i> Tears rolled down her face. If she could have saved them. If only she could have saved a single den-mate to keep her pack strong. "I am alone and I don't deserve to be welcomed back!"<i></i> At this point a deep cry came from the puppy's chest. Her heart was breaking as this young animal was accepting the fact that she would have to live the rest of her life in solitude.

The rottweiler's ears pierced back as he glared down at the lonely pup. "I am sorry Aki, but without a pack there is no place for you."<i></i> The large canine would turn his back and slowly walk away from the party as the small puppy belted out howls of true despair.

 

[Keigo Oen]

Piping down as the massive canine barked at him he'd let Aki step forward, and as she would speak he couldnt help but shed a tear with her, seeing Shida die literally be cut in half saving them by sacrificing his own life, but he was quite sure that this was wat they had all set out to do. They were one. They had one another's backs and in order to prove worthy you did what had to be done. Sushi knew this, Shida's sacrifice was still so very fresh in his mind, and this was going to be the unforgiving truth, but as the Rottweiler would speak Suyashi would speak! Or More correctly, he would shout at the beast, uncaring of his size.

"What? How dare you say sorry! Aki has a Pack! We are a pack! Forever, Shida's sacrifice for our lives is enough for me to stick with Aki forever! She might be a pup, but she's got heart! How dare you turn your back on your own! You walk away from your own with your miserable Sorry?!", clutching his fist he'd look down to Aki as he continued to belt out. Tears swelling in his eyes planted on his dirty face from the honey haired Minamoto. Though it didnt matter, Sushi was sure tat with the back turned that this was it, looking down to Aki he'd kneel and pet the howling pup. "Shhh... Aki-chan... You can come home with me. And we'll be a pack together... Eh? How does that sound?", he'd wait.

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

Fear clutches at the medical chief, quaking at random intervals. The worst of the canine superior absolute, even the petite pup admits defeat and is coated in the harsh truth of the world. Suyashi doesn't allow the behemoth the last word, offering Aki an abode to return to, and in Mikasa's mind the best offer he could offer the broken creature. The distance between the Rottweiler and the trio incease, the kunoichi comes to a stand despite the fear coursing through her veins and is overcome by another set of emotions entirely, frustration and fear. "How dare you." she begins, quivering, "How dare you dismiss one who dedicates their time so easily!" she shouts out.

"You have only seen the aftermath and decide this is the appropriate course of action?" she inquires, gesturing towards the lifeless form of Shida, "I am grateful for one item, that you taught my student that loyalty is what you make it." Mikasa murmurs, turning about to collect the limp pup who sacrificed himself for Minamoto Suyashi. "We are heading back, it would be a disservice to allow Shida-kun to remain unearthed." In the rear of her mind, the maiden holds the thought of tossing the dull side of the kunai against the back of the canine's skull; however Mikasa is not foolish enough to attempt such a feat.​

 

[Chikamatsu Shin]

The large rottweiler stopped dead in his tracks "Is that so?"<i></i> Turning back around as the two human would shout at the beast a smile would creep across his face. Pushing his chest outwards to become more visible a golden chain could be seen. "Do you see this chain? every link represents a fallen member of my pack. Today I am to add four more to it. I am Kimijun, Lord of the Canines, both by birth right and by proving myself worthy to lead this pack."<i></i> His voice would go silent for a moment and he stepped forward to Aki. Placing his nozzle on her head a puff of smoke would envelop her causing her body to vanish from sight. "You see the punishment of making Aki a Lone Wolf was superficial. We allow the pups to believe that they are by themselves while we closely watch them helping them learn to become independent after losing their pack, but now Aki knows she isn't alone thanks to you..."<i></i> The monstrous canine lowered his head in an elegant bow. "...and for this I must thank you. Shida was lucky to find you both."<i></i> As that last sentence was spoken the body of pup named Shida also dissipated into smoke. "I have taken my pups home, but as it has been made clear you two are a part of his Pack. Now, and forever. My loyalty to my pups has now been extended to you."<i></i> As he spoke he raised from the bow.

Stepping toward the two a long scroll would begin materialize in the mouth of the canine as he were to present it to the duo. It was light sand in color and had many leather rings keeping it sealed shut. It was rather thin but seemed to be of great importance as it was decorated in small green leaf like filigree. Once taken from his snout Kimijun would once again begin speaking. "This is the Pact of the Moon. Once you open it and sign your name you will be able to call upon any member of our pack to come to your side and aid you."<i></i>

((OoC:Once you sign the scroll you may choose to leave the thread if you would like as this will be the completion of obtaining your contracts!))

 

[Keigo Oen]

Half listening because he was still pouting as he looked down to Aki, though something did catch his attention was the talk of the chain that he had around his neck, this was to be seen as Sushi would turn around, standing up straight as he looked at the links of the chain. Each of them having a name of a fallen comrade. Sorrow filled Sushi's Heart as he looked about this, looking back down to Aki he was proud to have found her when he did and Shida for helping to save their his life from that beast but as he would nod in his continuing to listen to the large fella. Though he went silent... coming up to Aki and nuzzling her causing her to poof like she was some sort of jutsu...

"Huh? Wha?" looking around for a moment he was now forced into watching what would transpire! What was this! Then Shida's body dissipated into smoke as did Aki! Sushi was unsure of this situation! He didnt know what it was but things werent lining up! However, thinking back to what the leader of the Canines was saying, Aki never being alone... and then ending witht he scrolls and stating that he would be able to summon any of them into battle at a given time. Would that mean he was just placing them back home? He'd ask soon, actually as he was opening the scroll to sign his name he'd look up. "Kimijun-sama... Would I be able to Summon Aki? And what are you going to do with Shida's Body?", thinking back for a moment he'd sign down becoming one of the Pack, he would make sure to take what he learned about loyalty and trust here and carry it for the remainder of his life.

[OOC: Signed it but waiting for a response]

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

A wispy veil of smoke envelops Aki, transporting her to another location entirely and leaving Mikasa in state confusion. In turn the lifeless form in her clutches vanishes as well, the kunoichi swivels about to settle her gaze on the behemoth lowering his massive body into the closest resemblance of a bow a canine could perform. A scroll emerges into existence, the color of sand and golden bindings to signify an importance of some type. Regrettably the medical kunoichi had not been quick enough to take notice of Suyashi signing the document, despite the conditions of being able to 'summon' a member of the supposed pack.

Kimijun certainly had the chakra vast an ocean to back up the claim of Lord of the Canine, leaving this particular portion of his statement truthful in the eyes of the maiden. Unsuspecting circumstances occur on missions, however the feline attacking the pups struck her as odd, "The feline, there are other factions that you feud with?" she inquires, wishing to know the full details of what it meant to sign a dotted line with no font. By signing, would there be any repercussions? The Sennin Kenshin was known for utilizing canines in the village, as well as Lady Yomi; perhaps they had been presented the option of signing this very contract?

Despite the sudden shift of tone, the massive canine still posses an intimidating aura, her body quivering out of fear, despite Mikasa telling herself to calm down and analyze the situation. "If you have our loyalty and yours our own, please allow my student to not be separated from Aki." she murmurs, signing her name upon the scroll to the best of her abilities, in hopes of doubling the teens chances. To be up close and personal with the creature was overwhelming, the Minamoto child appeared unphased as she takes a step back, awaiting a resolution to her inquires.

[OOC: Signed, waiting for an inquiry to be addressed still.]​

[Chikamatsu Shin]

Seeing the two sign the contract made the jowls of Kimijun to form a smile. His pack was growing in numbers, but one of his pups now asked him a question. "Yes. There are many creatures in this world who would cause harm to the offspring in our pack. Some with great strengths. You shinobi are not the only ones blessed with the power of chakra, as there are techniques we Canine have mastered that I am sure no human has began to touch."<i></i> Once both had signed the contract it began to disappear in the same manner as the two puppies did. "As for Shida and the others..."<i></i> He took a second, clearly expressing his grief. "They have been taken home for proper burials."<i></i>

Pressing his forehead against the boy's own, in a sort of affectionate way a father would show concern to his son, the behemoth of a dog would speak in a softer tone. "You are now one of my pack. Aki is your kin. Once she has time to heal and hears your call she will come. Do not fret little one."<i></i> Stepping back and looking at the woman. "Our pact is in your blood. If you can show your loyalty to our great pack by offering your crimson vitality upon your call we will heed it."<i></i> He took a second to have that message sink in. "Even young Aki will come to your aid in a time of need."<i></i> With that being said he would once again turn his back to the group. taking a few steps forward electrical energy could be seen fluttering around his body. He was about to bolt back from whence he came. That is unless his new pups needed him still.

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

The behemoth answers their inquires, readying himself to depart to where he came, leaving Mikasa satisfied; however the mere thought of factions combating one another left her wishing to discover additional creatures. Canine and feline, how many others were there exactly? The source of the factions combating was certainly intriguing and definitely an items she would explore further down the line, but for the moment the maiden would continue to mourn the loss of Shida, who valiantly sacrificed his own well being to ensure the safety of Minamoto Suyashi.

Pivoting about she would raise her hand upwards, "Until we meet again." she calls over her shoulder, witnessing the feline also dispersing into the unknown. Despite the horrors, one virtue would stand firm and that is that loyalty made individuals perform the most ludicrous of actions; including herself. Never the least she turns her attention to the honey blond hair youth, her fist balling into the back of his head, "Chin up, we do not mourn with a sad expression on our face. Honor him by keeping his memory alive in your thoughts and raise Aki with care, as if you are her alpha." she speaks in a warm tone, despite the condition she currently was in. Exhausted, no further chakra to call upon, it would be a significant walk back to the Phoenix Gates.

Kimijun, a mysterious lord of the Canine, surely this would not be the last time their paths would cross. "Let us make haste, we have a lot of ground to cover."

[Keigo Oen]

Sinking in his chest a bit he would listen to the large canine's words, nodding and hanging his head low, he would have togrow, and bring Aki to grow with him. He wanted her to grow to be the best version of herself. Looking to the big guy as he pressed his head down into his own, "Thank you Kimijun-sama, I wont let you down! Tell Aki I'll be called her up soon!", he would state with much vigor in his voice and with a clenched fist! He knew that this was the beginning of something big. Something that would go about the ways of the Shinobi that were unlike anything he'd ever learn. Even going further beyond to learn everything he could about the summoning of more pack members and doing everything in his power to become the one his Pack would rely upon, to lead them to success.

"Ouch!", he'd state as Mikasa hit him, but her voice was always very soothing to him. He could see her being like a mother, very much like his own. Nodding though, he understood where he would have to go from here. How he would have to muster the thoughts that were beyond anything, he would be the Prince of Storms. He would be the Alpha if the Storm Pack. And One day he would know that with Aki and his pack by his side that he would forge a path to become the greatest Shinobi in the hidden Leaf! With that he said nothing else heading back home was the goal and they would have to rest up and find shelter, Mikasa was hurt but they had time... and this obviously was not the right place to just be out in the open!

'I'll never forget you Shida... I wont let you down...', and then he'd be off!
