It was a blur of crimson and black blazing through the streets. The black blur seemed to be moving slightly slower than the red blur. The two then collided and were separated. The two were at a standstill. The blurring motions stopped. The black blur revealed itself. The shape was human and cloaked in an anbu garb and mask. The mask was broken in four places, and revealed a less than human look. The flesh was off and it was green. There was also several veins appearing in the face. Something wasn't right at all.
The other individual at a standstill wore a long red leather coat. The individual had metallic looking details. It appeared like armour but it was certainly different. There was something finer about it. Not bulky. The crimsoned individual wore a face plate mask, but oddly his hair was not tucked away. Violet spikey hair this person had. It would seem though that most people on the field of battle knew who this person was. "Back away. Take shelter."<i></i> A warped familiar voice would call out. Upon hearing this voice several merchants, and citizens just backed away. Once the street was cleared, the metallic individual would call out to the Anbu in question. "This can't go on for much longer. I know you're trying to make a living, but what you've done is an even greater danger to yourself. Resign now, and it'll hurt severely less."<i></i> The metallic voice spoke.
"They'll get me. I'm going to get them first... but I'm going to get you." A younger voice came out from beneath the Anbu mask. "You're just some techy-anbu. You've got all sorts of gimmicks, I've got real strength and intellect here." The anbu formed hand seals and fired several lightning bolts at the red-coat. The response came from another tell-a-tale sign. An ebon blade was drawn and several of the bolts were deflected. Save for one. "Not so smart are you? Couldn't deflect them--" The Anbu was caught off guard with a quick response from the red-coat. The red-coat phase shifted forward and delivered a blow to the solar plexus with the pommel of the blade, driving the air out of the Anbu. In a response of rage the Anbu threw a megaton punch sending the red-coat flying backwards. It took the Anbu several moments to regain his breath.
After several seconds the red-coat was again at each other. The anbu throwing several blows which would have been devastating except they were not landing. "Who are you?" The anbu demanded as he was growing more and more exhausted. The red-coat was not showing any signs of tiring, merely improving in his skill. It would seem that the red-coat was always two if not three steps ahead of the rogue anbu. "You're not attacking merely defending. Come on already hit me." The anbu seemed to be growing desperate. Was it the fact that his crime was coming to a complete clarity? Or was it he merely wished an end? Finally the Anbu landed another blow sending the red-coat flying backwards again. The individual would land hard against a building. The building shook but it did not break apart.
The red-coat stood up. For an a moment. The Faceplate mask would recede revealing dark eyes and a cross scar. "If you wish."<i></i> The rogue anbu froze in terror realizing that the red-coat was his liege lord. Sousuke would focus his chakra. A sickly blue chakra would warp the Ebon Blade into a Runeblade. The Steward struck with a quickness and strength held back. This time the rogue-anbu fell. He was clutching his stomach as the injury was much more severe.
***
Sousuke sat at a bed side. He was banaged up, but he was certainly functional. The anbu in question was in a bed, buckled down with several tubes draining the serum which he stole and had drank. He had come to and looked across to seeing his Steward sitting against the wall."I didn't know. Steward ... I ... I didn't know." There was fear present in the voice. The anbu was now alot smaller given that the serum had increased his size and shape. "I'm not dead?" The realization of such seemed trivial at first, but then the Anbu began to check himself. No mutilations. No missing limbs. Just severe bruising and a large gash.
"I know what was happening. You needed money and fast. You needed a way out, and it seemed easy to you, but you didn't know the consequences. I did... being that I'm always informed of what goes on at Keystone and Omni Prime."<i></i> Sousuke spoke. "I'm taking away your Anbu status for the time being. You're back to Origins branch for the time being, until you apply again."<i></i> Sousuke shook his head. "You're a part of the working-machine that is Suna. Your untimely death would have given halt to the machine that is our village. Think about that the next time you do something rogue... Raigo."<i></i>
"Sir." Sousuke turned to look back. "I am ... I am sorry, you of all people got pulled into this." Raigo spoke. He was surprised that Sousuke knew him by name. "My family ... they're in danger... they're..."
"Taken care of. I took care of that before I battled you on the streets. No one gets left behind."<i></i> Sousuke spoke as he rose up to leave the room.
"Your coat sir. It is a nice coat. It does ... look quite fashionable compared to your lab coat." Raigo spoke once more.
"Rest up Raigo. It's gonna take time to get that serum out of your system."<i></i>
