"Kubaru, Jin and Irinami good to see you" smiled the woman.

"Nice to see you as well." Irinami replied with a smile as she spoke with her friend.

"Whats going on here?" Jin asked the man and woman , He saw by the discomfort on their faces they where in distress and from the looks of it these two ninja in black where the source of it. "So what business you two have with these two?" Jin asked.

"Thats is non of your concern" Ihai snapped back. Simply put Ihai was not too thrilled to be questioned by the likes of some punk kid.

"I don't think I like your tone who ever you are, and from the looks of your forehead protectors and masks at your sides, I would have to say you Cave Nin are tad out of place wouldn't you say so?" sneers Jin as he twirls his Kunai.

Ihai watches the young Nin play with his blade and then looks up towards him and grins,"Unless you want to wear that Kunai in the next 10 seconds, I would suggest you get it out of my face.

"Oh really you come into our village and start telling me what to do? I saw what you guys where doing, I know full well what you mission was. As far as I know your weapons are probably drenched with Inryoku blood." Jin remarks as he eyes down the young Hunter Nin.

"Your on thin punk don't let my age give you the wrong impression, I'm not a member of the most prestigious Black Op's squad of any village in the world for nothing", Ihai announces.

The other member of male of the trio named Kubaru speaks out in Jin's defense and he like Jin was not too thrilled with these two Cave Nin telling them what to do.

"Oh really? You think guys can come in here, and expect us to take orders from you? We take orders from Byouku not you, and he is the leader of the Black Op's organization in are village while you two are just a bunch of tools for hire from a second rate villages Black Op's group", storms Kubaru as his temper explodes.

Ihai at this point erupts in laughter at Kubaru's comment, "You honestly don't know too much kid? Our village makes money off doing nothing but Black Op's, we take care of the missions that all other villages turn down. When somebody has a task that can't be done, we are the ninja that complete it. We choose quality over quantity, and if I remember correctly thats how your village lost the war", sneers Ihai.

"How dare you!" explodes Kubaru as he yanks on his kunai strap but is stopped by Irinami.

"Also for your information it was your beloved Black Op's leader Byouku that hired for us to do this mission, in case you haven't known that yet." smiled Ihai as he flashed the permit that was signed in ink by Byouku himself.

The three Chuunin gaze down at the document and confirm the signature is in fact Byouku's, but despite his signature they still wanted these two Cave Nin out of their village.

The ground begins to shake once again and the demons shrieks as it crept closer smashing through another building like a toddler would smash through toy blocks.

"Forget about that now we don't have much time that monster we'll be here any minute and we have to take him to that tower so we can take that thing down." Burakku announces.

"How the hell do you plan on doing that? That thing has already taken down the first two waves, its unstoppable." Kubaru yells. " I don't care who you guys are but this is our village not yours and we can handle this our way." he adds.

"We are ANBU in training and experienced Chuunin I think we know how to judge are chances by now, and from I see this is a pointless cause old man." yells Jin.

The young child hides behind his parents as he watches the strangers argue and yell in front of him. At this point Burakku grows tired of this mans pointless rambling, Burakku was a man of experience and seniority in his line of work, and he would be damned, if he ever had to take any s from a couple of 18 year old Chuunin who don't even come close to his experience.

Quickly and without warning, Burakku vanishes and suddenly grabs a hold of both Kubaru and Jin by their necks and lifts them into the air. The Jin and Kubaru immediately out of reflex grab at the mans hands and try to get his hands off their throats but to know avail. They could feel Burakku's deadly grip clenching them harder and harder as they attempted to struggle and break free.

"Listen up you two little cocky little fucks you two along with this lady will help and assist any of the wounded and get them to safety, and further more I believe this village as well as the other damn villages, in my strongest opinion are foolish for believing young kids are mature enough achieve positions of ANBU,Chuunin, Jounin or even Genin for that matter." Burakku whispers into their ears and lets the information sink into their heads.

The two young Chuunin tremble in fear by this mans words of intimidation never before have they seen a man with this battle hardened experienced he knew and lived by the path of the ninja. They stare into his black and green eyes and watch his green and black eyes glow and swirl into a spiral like pattern. "What the hell are you?" Jin asks frightened by this man.

Burakku lets go and the two men drop to the ground they both cough hard and try to regain their breaths. "Good now get going" Burakku yells out.

"Yes sir" Jin and Kubaru reply and within moments Kubaru , Jin and Irinami are gone in a flash of smoke.

Burakku and Ihai now turn there attention to the young child."We request your permission to take you son with us." Burakku asks kindly.

The man turns his attention to his wife and she nods in approval. He smiles back at his wife.He extends his hand over towards his son "Its all right son they are not going to hurt you they are just going to take you for a walk thats all." the man speaks to his son.

"Ok, dad" the child agrees but is still very cautious of the two men in black.

"He reminds me a lot of my son when he was at this age but now he is off on a mission some where while my 4 year old daughter is at home with her mother." smiles Burakku as he opens his wallet to show the two parents a picture of his children.

" Your daughter has beautiful purple eyes" the woman smiles.

"Thank you" nods Burakku.

The ground violently shakes once more and is followed by a second explosion, the two Inryoku parents realize they haven't much time to sit around and discuss their kids and decide to hand Kanabun over into the custody of the two men.

The man walks his son over to the men in black and lets his go of his son. The young child looks up to see the scary men looking down at him. The child now having second thoughts decides to go back towards his parents but get pulled back. His feet skid on the pavement and he looks back to see on of the men just grabbed him by his shirt.

The man lifts up the kid and tosses him over his shoulder. The young child screams out in terror over his sudden abduction."Mom, Dad where are they taking me. Damn it Let me go I to be with my parents" the young child yells out.

"This kid of yours needs some soap in his mouth thats not the kind of language a child should get accustomed to using." Burakku smiles. The parents jaws drop in shock that their kid would use that kind of language there first reaction would be to discipline but now was not the time.

The two men then began to run off. "Be strong Son make us proud" the kids parents yell out to their son fearing this would soon be the end for them. A large shadow slowly creeps up on them. The man and woman hug each other on last time and gaze down one last time at there son.

Just the men run off there is a loud and thunderous explosion. Ihai looks back to see the child's house completely destroyed and the child's parents gone. And right at the scene the massive beast of darkness towered above it."Mom...Dad.. Let me go I have to see if they are all right" the kid cries out as the tears begin to drip down his face.

"I'm sorry kid but either way there was nothing you could have done to save them" Burakku replies.

The monstrous scorpion stares down at the two feeing Hunter-Nin it lets out a sinister shriek as it prepares for action."s now we have to deal with this monster now." Ihai complains.

"Lets just get this kid to that tower and take this fucker down." Burakku snapped back. The beast takes another step towards the two men its nightmarish looks and chilling darkness felt where at there worse at this close of range. Seeing enough the two men run off down the empty streets or rubble and smoke.

"All ninjas this is a state of emergency we need all the help we can get we must hold this thing off for as long as we can all civilian woman and children are ordered to evacuate the village immediately." the announcement rang out over the PA system the town has set up.

"Well no s" Burakku yells out annoyed by the random announcement that they should have done hours ago. "This village has some seriously screwed up methods of doing things." Ihai comments as he runs by his partners side.

Elsewhere

Two young ninja watch on from a tall building. They see the beast and the damage its is doing. The male and female ninja have seen enough death and decide they must do something. But one of them is not up for the idea of both of them going.

"You cant go I wont let you should leave the village if you stay you know once this is over they won't let you live"

"I'm sorry Kakusan but its better to stay and die with honor then to runaway or to end up dieing without honor that my kin has long lost."

"All this was her doing why must you and everybody who's innocent must suffer because of her" said Kakusan.

"They take my one of my kin to save this village and now I must act as a shinobi and do my part as well and ensure this demon is defeated" she replied.

"Hehe for a girl you sure are more heroic then I am huh Tsuta?" replied Kakusan with a blush.Both Tsuta and Kakusan withdraw there weapons and strap on some extra armor and prepare to enter battle. And disappear in a flash of smoke.

Burakku still carrying the boy rush down the streets to approach the tower. "We'll get there soon" Ihai spoke out.

"Not long now lucky for us this monster ain't that quick on his feet." smiled Burakku. Without warning a squad of ninja rushed towards them. Burakku's first instinct was to defend but he soon realized these ninja went after him but the scorpion beast it self.

"Those idiots they can't be serious" Ihai wonders as he takes a slight peek back whats is going on. The ninja make there rush at the scorpion hopping around in a tight well organized formation they had their plan already laid out for them. "Close range combat against that thing?". "They'll be killed for sure."

At that very instance the beast let out its roar and and a wave of darkness came forth and knocked all the men down to the ground. The oily colored matter began to drip down and head towards one of the ninja who was hurt from his fall. "No... stay... away.." he cried out.

Just as the man looked away he was snatched away. And carried off by a familiar face he instantly could recognize her eyes a mile away. "Tsuta?" he asked.

"Yes its me alright." she smiled her sincere expression gave the man a sign of relief that and she was fairly easy on the eyes as well. Tsuta set him down gently out of harms way. "Get out of here now" she warns. The man nods in agrees and slowly gets up. "Can you walk?" she asks.

"I'll be fine be careful Tsuta", he replies.

Tsuta launches her self off the building and lands besides her partner in crime Kakusan and they both stair down at the death scorpion itself. "So its the Duo of the ruins themselves eh" Ihai speculates.

"Then I shall assume that Tsuta is the final target we must take down then?" Burakku asks.

"You are correct" replies Ihai.

The boy looks on he recognizes that familiar brown hair and eyes."Tsuta?" he guesses. He squints harder and sees her physical features her full figured body and height and her shoulder length hair not like his sister who was less too young to have fully developed any of her female features yet. "It is Tsuta" the boy cheers.

"So what should we do Burakku? She is are target after all we can't let her get away?" Ihai asks.

Burakku looks back towards his comrade "I don't she is going anywhere Ihai." he vaguely replies.

The words immediately translate through Ihai's head and he takes one final look at Tsuta. 'I understand' he says to himself.

"Gravity Style Large Gravity Bolt Jutsu" yelled Tsuta as a large field of gravity rushes towards the demon.

"DARK ELEMENT DARK OIL SHOT" The beast calls out and with it a powerful surge darkness came and disintegrated the gravity bolt.

Tsuta and Kakusan watched on in awe at the power of this beast. They both performed another set of hand seals and soon Kakusan threw a wave of Kunai of mixed element chakra Kunai that surrounded the beast.Tsuta complemented his attack with gathering chakra in her hands and slapped her palm into the ground sending a shock wave under the monster. And soon a prison of chakra forms around the Kunai Kakusan threw.

"I think its about time this beast learns the true fury of the Duo Of the Ruins" said Kakusan with confidence and Tsuta nodding in agreement.

She takes a deep breath and prepares their most deadly combination jutsu."THE PRISON OF GRAVITY 5 ELEMENT PRESSURE FIELD" yelled Kakusan and Tsuta as the Pressure begins to increase inside the barrier as they attempt to crush the beast under a heavy gravitational force.

The Gravity Field Intensifies as the creature shrieks in pain. "We need more chakra" asked Tsuta getting worried. They look on as the monster attempts to smash open the field.

"If we can just last a little longer we might be able to take him down" replied Kakusan being optimistic as he can. The Demon now extremely angered sends a dark goop underground and it heads towards Kakusan and Tsuta.

The beast limps down a little as the pressure increases the pressure around the field vibrates and cracks open the pavement and shatters some windows. "What the hell is that noise?" Ihai wonders.

"Never mind that just keep running" Burakku suggests. The two men watch on as window after window crack and shatter and the pavement buckle down and crumble.

"We almost have him Tsuta I think we did it" says Kakusan with a smile. "DARK ELEMENT BLADES OF DARKNESS " Roars the scorpion as blades of Dark Matter erupted out of the ground forcing Kakusan and Tsuta to let go of the barrier. Kakusan jumped out of the way of 2 blades only to get struck across his back he grimaced in pain as the third blade ripped threw his Flack Jacket and dug it's way across his back leaving a nasty open wound that would be bound to leave a scar in the future. Kakusan landed on his feet and buckled over in agony as he could feel the blood drip down his back.

Tsuta leaped up into the air to dodge only to become surrounded she prepares the substitution jutsu. As the blades slammed into a stone pillar substitute.The Jutsu worked and she was out of the way of harm for the time being "Tsuta Look out" cried out Kakusan as a blade of Dark Matter heads toward her.

She leaps to the side at the last minute but the blade contacts and takes he left arm clean off "AAAAAH" screamed Tsuta in pain.

Tsuta looks down at her wound it dripped with black matter mixed with her own blood. 'What the hell is this?' she wonders. Loosing focus she forgets that she is off guard and that there are two more blades moving across the pavement as if they were a pair of shark fins.Thinking fast Kakusan quickly grabs her and jumps out of the way of another series of blades. They land right in front of the monster and gaze at him in shock of how strong this monster is.

"DARK ELEMENT DARK OIL SHOT" the monsters signature move begins to build up and prepare for its finishing blow. And at that instant another surge of intense darkness came forth heading towards not Tsuta and Kakusan but towards the group of ninjas heading towards the tower.

"NO!" yelled Kakusan he rushed right in the way to block the shot. Suddenly, he got knocked out of the way.

"GRAVITY STYLE GRAVITY BARRIER JUTSU" he looked on to see Tsuta in the way with her Gravity Barrier up. He beat on the barrier telling her to get out of the way. He gazed into her expression on her face she knew from the start they where no match and that this was going to be the end of the line for her.

Kakusan now in tears begs her not to leave him in this world without her, she calmly in tears says no and to get out of the way, she uses her chakra and sends Kakusan flying out of the way.

"Forgive me I want you to look after him for me and I wish too that we could have been together in the end" cried Tsuta. He looks on in tears as the Dark Blast hits and shatters the barrier and kills his partner from withing her barrier. As the smoke cleared her body lay at the side of the street blood splattered and motionless. As if she was just a rag doll cast aside by a dog.

Kakusan immediately rushes over towards her side he was depleted of chakra and with nothing else left in him to fight on."I will Tsuta I promise" Kakusan said to Tsuta with tears streaming down his face.

"No! where are you taking me that was my cousin back there I want to help her" replied the small kid.

Burakku looks on slightly saddened by the results. He knew that was going to happen and she knew that too. She chose to die in battle and to actually make a difference rather then to sit back and wait to for the inevitable doom she was going to receive."I'm sorry kid but the best way you can help her now is to come with us" Burakku replies softly.
