Chapter 10
(----Hunho----)
He sighs in relief when Green Buck and Sharp Hawk arrive. He felt uncomfortable that Calling Wing and Summer Watch didn't know about what happens to those that have the same colour for their eyes and hair. He wonders if he should have told them, but he had and there's no changing that.
Also he was kind of relieved that they hadn't come to question him about Raigi. He waves as the two brothers draw closer. They sent him a questioning look and he glanced at Sharp Hawk. Then the two study the two females. He shouts, "Come meet your sister and her friend. They have been waiting for you." Green Buck and Sharp Hawk jog the rest of the way. "Nice to meet you, I'm Green Buck and this is my little brother Sharp Hawk." Green Buck says once they reach them. "I'm Calling Wing and this is my best friend, Summer Watch." Calling Wing says. Green Buck smiles and says, "Nice to meet you, little sister. We'd like to talk, but we need to have the tent set up before the meeting is due. You can stay and watch if you want." "We can help, I'm sure that Summer Watch wouldn't mind helping out too. Would you?" Calling Wing asks. Summer Watch smiles and says, "I'd like to, but I think I'll help Hunho with his tent. He's doing it all alone." He smiles at this and says, "You don't really have to." "None sense! It's her choice, Hunho." Green Buck says, clearly teasing him.
He sighs and then he begins to explain what is what and where thing go. He just hopes that things are going ok with Raigi, even though Pale Deer and Boar's Rage were being his bodyguards; it just didn't sit well with him not being with his friend. He knows that Raigi will tell him everything that happens in the meeting and then Raigi will want his opinion on what they meant by some of the things. He did know his race better then Raigi and he's happy to help Raigi in anyway he can.
(----Hige----)
He sighs and looks around the house. He's been feeling antsy and he just feels that he's needed somewhere else. He feels pretty bad about it, but he can't deny it any longer. He still dreams of that odd being that's with that red eye and haired JenFe!. He still sees that symbol and a new one is also appearing too. It was a red upside down pyramid. He also has been getting feelings off the two symbols; the first one has the feel of death but also of life. The next one is just plain playfulness mixed with cheerfulness and reminds him of light.
He sighs and looks out the window. "Restless, Hige?" Hinata asks. He turns and nods. "I just feel that I'm needed somewhere else, Hinata. I'm happy here, but I don't feel complete." He says. Hinata smiles and says, "Then go. You'll always be welcome in my home, Hige." He smiles and hugs her. "Thanks Hinata. I'll be sure to visit!" He says.
They open a window and he transforms into an owl. He soars higher into the sky and changes the wings so that he doesn't need to worry about flapping too much. He soars through clouds and continues on flying through the rest of the night and then the day. He only rests to drink and to eat. Then he returns to the air.
He just follows the feeling towards the west. After a good eight days of practically non-stop flying he finds a city crawling with JenFe! and he circles until he finds the young male from his dreams. He then descends towards the child.
He lands and by the child and transforms into his natural form. The child looks at him and then frowns a bit. "Why are you here, TerCa?" The boy asks. "I'm needed." He says. "Where's your friend?" He asks. "How do you know about Raigi?" The kid asks with an edge to his tone. He blinks, kind of surprise at the name. "I keep seeing him and you in a dream." He says sheepishly.
He watches as the kid relaxes and says, "You're god touched then? It's been a while since Suwa'Tilea touched one of your kind. By the way, I'm Hunho, it means Fire Fox." He was kind of stunned to find that he's not the first of his race to be visited by dreams. "I'm called Hige." He says to Hunho. Hunho looks at him oddly and then sighs. "Might as well take you to the meeting then. Odd that you would arrive on the day of the first official meeting between the genders in this city." Hunho says. He blinks at this too and climbs onto Hunho's shoulders.
He watches as many look at him and then they just let Hunho into the meeting room. He stares at Raigi, if he remembers the beings name correctly, and then at the leaders of both genders seated in the room. "This isn't as unexpected. We welcome you child of TerCa." The lead priest says. Many nod in agreement with that simple statement. He uses the last of his energy to transform into a modified human.
They don't look so surprise that he can do this and decides that others of his kind use to do the same thing long ago. "It's an honour to be welcome. I'm Hige." He says. "I'm Forest Cloud, head of the priestess of the Soaring Wing." The female with striking green hair says. "I'm Shell Shield, head of the priests of the Soaring Wing clan." The priest with grey hair says. He bows to each in turn and then sits by Raigi.
He does notice that Raigi has bodyguards and that Hunho takes the role of bodyguard for him. He feels very honoured at that, for in a few years, Hunho will be very important to the JenFe! and he hopes to see just how big of a role the young male will take. They soon began the meeting.
(----Koichi----)
He sighs as he finishes his latest mission. It's been a good year since the Grrroar tribe was killed and they also have no word about any of the JenFe! of either genders. The traders can't seem to find them, so they have no clue as to how things went during the gathering.
It was so odd that the whole race would seemingly vanish without leaving any clue to their plans. They also haven't heard much from Hige either. The few times the TerCa visited, it was usually very brief and usually about checking records on a few things and spend a good two hours with Hinata. Then after speaking with Elder Ruki about something, Hige would then leave.
It was just so strange and the few time some of the ninja try to follow the shape shifter, they'd lose him within a day. It didn't help matters that Hige usually transforms into a flier either. But then they do have other things to be considered about.
Hidden Sound has been trying to capture Light ninja and members of the ten friendly races. When a sound ninja killed a Gargoyle, it caused the Water Drakes and Gargoyle people to begin to make then join the fight. Over eighty hundred ninja have fallen since Water Drakes and Gargoyles have entered the war and all eighty hundred ninja were from sound too. This has caused Orochimaru to try to recruit the other kage's help for this war, for the snake has lost too many ninja to the Water Drakes and Gargoyles.
He had to admit that the snake ninja hasn't shown his face too often either. But then, Orochimaru was probably scared of him using the Soul Burn seal to weaken him before killing him. It also seems that Orochimaru was still looking for a way to get rid of the seal too. He also knows that it must be activating on its own too. He could guess that Orochimaru has been trying to hide that fact from his ninja, for if they learn about it; they'll differently turn on him and kill him when it activates for that short period of time.
They also have totally destroyed Orochimaru's base and that Rice field country is no longer in Orochimaru's grasp. It's said that the snake fled north into snow country and has killed Daimyou Kazehana. The only bad side to this is that snow ninja were famous for their chakra enhancing armour.
He smiles as he sees Hinata and Terish waiting for him. With all things considered, Hinata is now considered a Light Ninja and is officially an elder in training, even if she's really young. He waves and asks, "Yue?" "Mission, he'll be back in two days." Terish says. He nods and lets Hinata drag him to some place to clean his shoulder, even though is fully healed. He smiles slightly and Hinata blushes a bit. They weren't dating, but they're growing close and he wonders if that's a bad thing, but he doesn't really care.
For Hinata wasn't a Leaf ninja now and her father doesn't have the authority to boss Hinata around anymore either for Hinata has changed her name once she was accepted as a Light ninja. Hinata's last name is now Uzumaki. Odd name, but he doesn't really care, they're fourteen years old and in time they'll be fifteen. Things were changing and nothing seems to be able to predict what will happen next.
(----Hunho----)
He focuses in on the energy he feels inside of him. Raigi has finished teaching him how to read and write, he even got to read one of the easier spell books too. For Hunho was determine to learn magic and they've also been getting help from Huge too.
Hige's advice helps him as much as Raigi's attempts of describing the power. He relaxes as he feels the power refuse to move and waits for a few minutes before trying again. It moved this time, he then remembers what Raigi said about shaping it before realising it. He thinks of a rainbow and thinks what it would feel like. The feelings help shape it and then he opens his eyes to find a ball of swirling light in his hands.
"That's amazing!" He is startled and the ball fades away. He turns to find Calling Wing looks at him in awe and was clearly impressed with what he did. They both look at each other, the eleven-year-old female and him, an eight-year-old male. "Thanks, but I'm still learning." He says. "Yea, but you have to admit that only Raigi has been able to do something like that without chakra that some races use." The elder of them says. He sighs and says, "I'm still feel odd being able to have this power in me while nobody else does. And Raigi doesn't really count."
Calling Wing nods in agreement. Three years have passed and it took him four months of being taught how to first feel and taste the energy and only this month has he being advice to make it move and to shape it. He has years to learn how to make it into what he wants without always having to close his eyes and go into a trance. It helps to know that Raigi still had years to go too.
He sighs as he remembers that in two years, Raigi will be pulled back to his home dimension. He wonders if Raigi will be able to reopen a portal to this world. He wouldn't mind exploring Raigi's home and to meet with the caretaker that his friend mentioned.
"So, what do you make of all of this?" Calling Wing asks as he motions to the pages littering the study. He looks sheepish and says, "I've been practicing drawing, you see." Calling Wing looks surprise and then nods. "I didn't know. They're not completed." She says. He nods and says, "I didn't like the way they began to turn out. I know that Raigi told me to continue on, to let the drawing draw itself by using my hand. I'm just don't think I can." He then collects the pages.
"My brother seems to be gaining more support." Calling Wing says. He pauses and then nods. "You can just tell that some of his advisors have been planning this for years, long before Raigi ever showed up. I fear what could have happened if Raigi hadn't appeared." He admits. "You would have been killed and your corpse used to read the future for one." She points out. He nods sadly, he had been told by Shell Shield about that and he's more then a little relieved that when they 'gave' him to Raigi, that they considered it a sacrifice and now he's allowed to live like anyone else.
"You grown into something very different, Hunho." Calling Wing says. He looks at her in puzzlement. "What do you mean?" He asks. "Will for one thing, you now have the begins of a tail and for another, your tusks haven't grown and if anything, they've shrank." Calling Wing says. He blinks and begins to examine his butt and finds that Calling Wing is right. He now sports a small tail, but it was a tail and males of the JenFe! weren't suppose to have tails. He then touches his tusks and found that they're tiny.
He looks shocked as he wonders at what else has changed. He then studies Calling Wing and says out loud, "Your horns!" Now it was Calling Wing that blinks and asks, "What about them?" "They're becoming gold in colour." He answers. Calling Wing looks around for a mirror and studies her face. "Why haven't I noticed this before?" Calling Wing says out loud. He doesn't answer and he begins to wonder at how many were experiencing the change too.
