Chapter 8
(----Yue----)
He stares at the town that's crawling with Oni. It's been two days since they did that teleportation jutsu and they finally made it out of the mountains and closer to their destination. It also helps that Lex used a speed jutsu to help speed their travel up. They'll be resting for the whole day tomorrow, but it was worth it. Just seeing spotting a single woman around town was bad enough, but to see a good hundred was disturbing. He turns away and they continue on, Koichi knows where Depth and them were so he leads the way.
After a good three minutes they founded Depth and them. They also found that they rescued some of the captive women from the Oni. They soon enter into the ruined town and were greeted by two Gargoyles. "I'm Jaina and this is Bronx. Urther is the CerYo and Sellen of Light is also here." Jaina says. "Good to meet you, I'm Lex. The yellow haired teen is Koichi and the green haired one is Terish. The white haired one is Yue, the older Light ninja is Shonie, and then the last human male is my student Haku and his friend Brim. Finally, this is Hinata of Leaf." Lex introduces their group.
The jutsu was off and they were beginning to feel the after effects of the jutsu. They were soon hurried into different houses to rest. He knows that Koichi will be the first to recover, but that doesn't trouble him too much. 'Let Koichi deal with tomorrow, I just wants to sleep.' He thinks.
(----Hige----)
He finished reading Ruki's journal of the second war between Light and JenFe! and TerCa. He never heard about any wars from his own kind, but he also was stunned to learn that a female lead his kind during the second war and that makes him wonders just what the reaction will be if his race hears about this.
With that thought, he lays down the book and heads to bed. It's late and he has things to do tomorrow. He also has the beginnings of a course of action and he needs to make plans on what to do with what he's learning.
(----Koichi----)
He listens to the course of action that Depth wishes to take today and he agrees that when tomorrow comes, they might be too busy fighting to remember about the women being held captive. So they'll to rescue the women today, but in such a way that the Oni wouldn't notice that they're gone.
They finish and those that were to participate in the plan followed him out of the room. He went to retrieve some parchment to write the illusion jutsus on it. Bronx and Sellen went to get nets to use to distract the Oni. They soon gather the items and they began to create the illusion spells on the parchment that he got. He does the spells for sense, shadows, and light. Bronx does for movement and acting. Sellen does the rest, like cloths and shape. They finish they're parts on the parchment and pass them to the next person. They finish and Sellen and him leave Bronx to wait for the ink to dry, they're going to set up the nets.
They each take three nets and they part. They'll set them up on odd trails and hope that the bait that they set will go off at the right time. They really don't need the Oni to find the traps before they were ready to rescue the women.
They finish and they head to the meeting point where Bronx promised to meet with them. He just hopes that Bronx isn't spotted. They lean against a tree and wait. They just let themselves lose themselves in their own thoughts.
(----Forest Blade----)
He glares at where Raigi and Hunho were walking with his father. He can't believe that those two lowly beasts were walking in his stead. He was Soaring Blood heir and he will one day lead his people to victory against all that oppose him and his race. He'll conquer all other races and go down into history as being the greatest warrior that his kind has ever spawned, now that dream is growing out of reach with each passing night. All because of this thing and a walking corpse.
He turns away from the disgusting sight before him. He glances at Bear Sleeper, his hunting friend, and whispers, "I'm getting real sick of seeing that alien thing walk around like it belongs among us. We're going hunting when we stop." He doesn't care if Bear Sleeper replies; he just turns away to search for Grey Water.
Grey Water shares the same thoughts that he does when it comes to the beast, even if Grey Water is from the Sorea clan. Grey Water is fifty years old and has a broken tusk from fighting a Mora Bear. He still wonders if it was dumb luck that Grey Water survived the encounter with the huge bear. Though Grey Water didn't kill the Mora Bear, just escaped with some scars and a broken tusk. He finds Grey Water's scared face and he continues to look at the elder until the old JenFe! turns to look at him.
He looks into Grey Water's brown eyes and he nods towards where his father is and looks disgusted. Grey Water just nods his head and begins to make his way towards him. It takes Grey Water a few hours to finally be by his side.
"Be patient Forest Blade. Wait until we make it to the city, then we'll set the plans into action. Remember that many wish to stay on its good side and that they'll frown if anything happens to it." Grey Water advises him. He really wants to snarl and yell out, but he restrains himself. "I truly wish that we'll make it soon, I don't like that it's walking in my position by my father's side." He says. Grey Water nods in understanding and says, "Try to keep back then. It might help not to stare at them either. Just try to imagine what you'll do with them when you have them under your spear." He nods, and they drift apart.
(----Sharp Hawk----)
He watches as the elder leaves his older brother alone once more. He frowns and wonders if he should speak with father about this. He knows that Forest Blade doesn't like either Raigi or Hunho, but he couldn't see why anyone wouldn't like Raigi, he still doesn't know what to think about Hunho though.
He sighs and looks to his other brother, Green Buck who's eleven but will be turning twelve within the month. "Should we talk to father about that?" He asks. Green Buck looks thoughtful and then answers, "We'll watch them and listen hard to what plans they make, but we'll inform Hunho about this though. He needs to know so he can be ready to defend Raigi." He nods in agreement. "Does Hunho really mean Fire Fox?" He asks, he asked his father about the name, but his father didn't know the answer to that. "I think it does, Raigi did say so when I asked him." Green Buck says.
Then he looks around and then says, "I heard Raigi teaching some of those other tongues. I wonder if Raigi wouldn't mind teaching us, I mean it will allow us to talk more freely about stuff without someone understanding what we're saying." "You might be on to something with that. See if any of your hunting mates want in." His brother says. He brightens at this and nods. "I'm sure Wind Stone and Bone Shot will jump at the chance." He says. "Same with Weed Gold, Star Cross, and Laughing Hatchet." Green Buck says. He nods at this and after a time, he asks, "What do you think our age mates among the females will be like?" Green Buck scratches his head and then says, "I don't know. I do know that you have a twin sister, though. I think her name is Calling Wing." He's stunned at the thought of him having a sister, let alone a twin sister.
(----Calling Wing----)
She looks over towards where her mother is resting. She sighs and rests her head on her knees. She can hear the murmur of the camp and wonders what her siblings were like. She knows that she has a twin brother and then two other brothers too.
"Depressed?" Her friend Summer Watch asks. "I wonder what my brothers are like is all." She replies. "I wouldn't know, all I have are sisters! Two noisy ones at that." Her best friend says. She smiles and says, "I mean what does a male look like? I've never seen one and mom won't tell me." Summer Watch looks thoughtful and says, "According to Reed Arrow, males have tusks like boars and they lack tails and horns." She blinks at that and Summer Watch continues, "They also are dark purple in colour and have their clan markings tattooed on their faces and bodies. They can be bulky or slender. Also Soaring Wing's males have blue eyes instead of red eyes. Also there are males that have red eyes naturally." Then her best friend looks sheepish and says, "That's all I can remember." She sighs and says, "I wonder what Sharp Hawk looks like. Does he have green hair like me? And does he have black eyes too? Is he slender? Or bulky?"
They listen as the meeting is finished and the other clan leaders leave the tent. She watches as members of the Grea clan and Majea clan move down different paths, they just meet up with them today when they started to unpack their things for the night. Soon she heads inside and knows that Summer Watch has also left. She wonders just how things will turn out when they all gather together at the great city.
(----Koichi----)
He smiles tiredly as Hinata and Jaina begin to attend to the newly rescued group of women. He was stunned to find Hinata waiting with Jaina and more stunned when she congratulated him on doing his part of the plan. He doesn't know just what to make of that, but he had to admit that he was kind of happy that Hinata decided to congratulate him on his role.
He sighs and moves to help Sellen walk a straight line. He opens the door and helps Sellen onto the couch. "Want something?" He asks. "Yes, Sasuke, but sadly, he's not here. I'll have a meal with some juice if they got some." Sellen says. He grins and nods, he could understand the first request for the two of them were getting close and he's happy for both. He also thinks that it'll last for years to come too.
He finds some rice covered in mushrooms and chicken. He picks it up and places in a box. Then he looks for some juice, finding none, he makes some tea for Sellen. He finishes with the tea and then uses a simple jutsu to heat up the plate with rice on it. He then takes it out of the box and remembers to pick up the cup of tea before leaving the room.
"They don't have any juice, but I made tea though." He says as he enters the room. Sellen smiles and perks up a bit. He hands Sellen the plate and puts the teacup onto the table. He then heads back into the kitchen in hopes of finding more food.
He finds nothing and then heads back to where Sellen is. "I'm leaving to look for a meal among the other houses. I'll be back, ok?" He says. Sellen just nods and continues on eating. As he walks out the door, he finds Hinata walking towards him.
They stare at each other and then Hinata hands him the plate. "Here, I know you must be hungry. Is Sellen alright?" Hinata asks. "Sellen is currently eating the rice with mushrooms and chicken. I was on my way to scavenge around for my meal. Thanks Hinata." He says, smiling at the Leaf Nin. "It's nothing. You'll also be good to know that only three quarters of the women here are pregnant with half-breeds. The remaining ones are either immune to the effects of sex with Oni or were already pregnant before the Oni took to raping them." Hinata informs him. He sighs and says, "I suppose many were happy with the news?" Hinata nods and says, "I believe that Haku will have no trouble aborting the babies with my help. At least my Blood Limit is useful in that way." He holds the plate in one hand and places his free hand on Hinata's shoulder. "It's not who you are, it's just a tool." He says. Hinata smiles and says, "I don't think my clan looks at it that way, but thanks Koichi." He nods and then they part, he heading back inside and Hinata to do other things.
