ペイン Final.
The sun begins to set in as the next day is almost over. Kai is in the council meeting with Tsume and Kiba and Kasumi, Kai's companion. Kai is sitting across the room with Kiba while his arms are crossed to his chest and bored, the council begins to chat with Tsume quietly about the whole clan bonding, while last night they did rip the contracts apart and that means that their clans can bond, doesn't mean automaticly that the council will have changed their minds, and would help the F.B.W clan. As the chatter gets longer and longer Kai and Kiba whisper to each-other and chuckle.
"What do you think about this then?" Kai asks Kiba "Ah. I donno, it's all strange to be honest. Kai can I ask you somethin'?" Kiba says to Kai as he sits back roughly in his chair and looks at Kai, "Sure." Kai replies to Kiba as he looks at him with a questionable expression. "Why was the whole clan bonding thing done?" Kai than asks Kiba straight after he asked Kai this, "Didn't you already ask me this?" the council members look at Kai and Kiba while they talk to Tsume, Kai yawns and Kiba asks Kai again but abit louder, "Why was the bonds broken?" Kai quickly has a scared expression and puts his index finger on Kiba's lips and says "sh" to him quietly, "Look Kiba, don't ask me about that here." Kai tells Kiba as he removes his index finger from Kiba's lips and crosses his arms to his chest again and adjusts his sitting in the chair.
"Katsumi Kai and Inuzuka Kiba. Both rise." Kai chuckles as Tsume walks to the side of the room to watch and Kai and Kiba both stand up, Kiba and Kai walk to the council's desk. "Inuzuka Kiba. As clan leader of the Inuzuka, it is your best interest to look into the Katsumi's background." the female council member tells him, Kiba looks at Kai with a questionable expression, "Katsumi? But I thought your clan was the Fearsome Blood Wolves?" Kai doesn't respond but instead stares Kiba down, Kiba looks away slowly thinking to himself. "Okay. Can I request to look at the Katsumi's background?" Kiba asks while not concentrating, "No shit-sherlock, that's what your suppose to do anyway, you can't request it if a council member tells you its within best interest." Kai tells Kiba while looking at the council members desk. The female hands Kiba a folder containing information about the Katsumi clan. Kiba goes to Kai's profile and reads it carefully. Kiba stops and than thinks to himself and says quietly, "What the?" Kiba looks at Kai and asks him, "Why does it say in your profile that your a endangerment to any clan?" Kai looks at Kiba and explains to him, "Look Kiba. Katsumi clan isn't crazy, but my father is. He use to be the leader of the Katsumi clan, also known as the Fearsome Blood Wolves clan. He was crazy, he got most of our people killed because he treated them as if they already knew great survival skills; he stepped down a long time ago once he realised that he isn't doing the clan any good." Kiba looks back at the profile and thinks hard, "Should I really accept the bonds? God knows whose going to be the next clan leader.." Kai looks at the ground as Kiba looks back at Kai, "I'll need to think about this." Kiba states to the council and to Kai, Kiba thinks to himself again as he looks at Kai's expression, which is surprisingly confused. "I need to find out what the hell is going on! If what Kai is saying is true, can I trust him? What if he turns out to be like his dad when he's in control?" Kiba folds up the folder and nods his head at the female council member, "I'll need significant time to think about this, of course if Kai turns out like his dad within' control, our clan will be under threat." Kiba tells the council members, chatter can be heard between the members and Kai looks angry and stares down Kiba, Kiba stares back at Kai attempting to show no fear, inside Kiba though, he's scared, but obviously Kai wouldn't know. Kiba leaves the council members room as Kai looks at the female council member. "Why is this all happening now? What changed your minds?" Kai asks the female council as he glances at the others and back at the female, "Its not about trust Kai. And it is not about strength or position of power. We feared you were going to be like your father, as you said to Kiba, your father was crazy once he was in control. We could not risk anything anymore, and so we had to bail out when possible. However, Kiba has showed a good amount of interest in your clan. And as you two work side by side from now on, he trusts you." Kai looks at Tsume and Tsume nods at Kai. Kai sighs and turns around and walks out of the council's door. Kai walks around where his compound used to be at and sits down on the earth soil which is still drenched in rain from last night.
"So he doesn't trust me? Pft." Kai thinks to himself as his knees are to his chest and his arms are resting on his knee caps and Kai is looking down, Sakura strangely comes across and sees Kai sitting all by himself, with his usual grey shirt that comes down to his elbows, and his army green shorts that came down to his knee caps, and his black sandals, his hair is the same colour as his iris in his eyes. Light black. Sakura walks cautiously to him not knowing what to expect. As Kai takes no notice of Sakura and begins to have thoughts running through his head, he keeps thinking, how could Kiba not trust him? What showed Kiba no trust? Kai doesn't know weather to hold in his anger or to snap. However, before Kai has a chance to make the choice, Sakura interrupts his thinking by clearing her throat loudly with her right hand raised to her mouth, Kai looks up slightly at Sakura and his left eye squints as the sun shines on his left eye, thankfully, Sakura's body was blocking the other half of the sun, "Are you okay?" Sakura asks Kai as she kneels down and can sense that Kai is upset, having mixed emotions. As Sakura kneels down on her left leg, her senses go completely insane, she can smell iron, burned metal, earth soil and Sakura can also smell a wolfs scent on Kai, its all over him, its a female scent that smells exactly like oil. Sakura's first initial rection was to cover her mouth and nose, by burying her face in her hands, and so she did and Kai grinned, "You'll get use to it." Kai tells Sakura as he looks ahead of himself and his grin turns to a slight smile. Kai knows that Sakura can sense everything about him, just as Kiba can, obviously she may put it to use to see if Kai is lying about anything in which Kai doesn't attempt to lie about anything. "What are you doing out here by yourself? Sakura asks as she lower her hands, Kai responds with a calm voice, "Ah. Just thinking, I need it after this long, boring, day." Sakura slowly sighs as she sits down with Kai and she remembers about Kiba talking about a council meeting with the Katsumi reserved leader, "So your the reserved Katsumi leader?" Sakura asks Kai, Kai turns his head to look at Sakura and nods. "What did he choose to do?" Sakura asks Kai, Kai does not respond instead he looks away from Sakura and back at the floor. As Kai tilts his right arm towards Sakura, Sakura takes notice of the Inuzuka clan marking that use to be vains, its now all coloured in red just like the original marking, Sakura is confused, Katsumi Kai isn't in the Inuzuka clan so how come he's got the marking? Unless he painted it on, Sakura leans towards Kai and slowly with her left arm goes to touch the marking, "Go ahead." Kai tells Sakura as he tilts his arm more and than Sakura touches the marking, it wont come off, its definitely real. "But, your not.." Sakura says to Kai with a confused expression and sound of tone, "I know I'm not, I don't know how but I just got these markings." Kai tells Sakura. Two Anbu's jump down from out of no where in front of Sakura and Katsumi Kai, with their oval plain white masks on, and their long thick coat that has a hood on, the coat comes down to the Anbu's feet at least, covering their whole body, and the hood is up, all you can see from the Anbu's are their masks and black thick long coats. Sakura quickly stops leaning towards Kai and sits in her position which is away from Kai leaving a little gap and her legs straightened out, Sakura gets back up on her feet and begins to walk away as the two Anbu's look at her, when Sakura leaves, Kai looks at the Anbu's, the Anbu's begin to approach Kai and than they stop as they are in front of him. The first Anbu is front of the other, and the first Anbu looks at Kai and tells him, "An urgent report has been filed and the Hokage would like you and Kiba to arrive at her office; immediately." the Anbu's would not tell or talk to Kai any further, they both set off after that, Kai is left wandering in his own mind, he gets up and runs off to the Hokage's office which is not far.
Kai busts through the door as he pants heavily with Kiba behind him, Tsunade looks behind herself to see Kai and Kiba without their faithful companions, "We got here as fast as we could! What's going on?" Kai asks Tsunade, "Have a seat, you two." Tsunade tells Kiba and Kai, they both grab chairs infront of the Hokage's desk and lean on it, Tsunade turns around with a look of fear and sadness, this is truly the first time Tsunade has looked like this in front of Kiba, this must be bad. Tsunade sighs as she sits down on her seat and Shizune closes the doors, Tsunade leans on the table with her elbows on the desk and her hands together, raised in the air to Tsunade's mouth height. "Today, the hidden mist village has been wiped out; completely." Kiba and Kai gasp as Tsunade closes her eyes, "A thousand were killed." Tsunade tells Kiba and Kai, Kai sits back in his chair roughly while crossing his arms to his chest tightly and grabbing onto his rib cage with rage, he tries not to show the anger through emotion, Kiba is shocked and doesn't know what to do. "What are we going to do? This is the job for the Anbu's." Kiba tells Tsunade, "While that is correct, Taekai was seen at the scene before the disaster." Tsunade opens her eyes and stares at Kai with her honey coloured iris. Kai wanted to automatically be sent in alone to kill Taekai, but he held himself back knowing saying that will be no good at all. Instead Kai chews on his lower lip with anger, Tsunade notices this as blood slowly rushes out of Kai's mouth onto his lap, dripping like water, staining his army green shorts that came to his knee caps, "Kai I understand why you want to be a Renegade, but hold yourself for now." Tsunade tells Kai, Kai looks away from Tsunade and stops chewing on his lip and sucks in any left up blood and swallows it. "The reason why I am sending you two out after him is because he was spotted also with Pein, and Konan. Akatsuki members, S ranked criminals." as Tsunade tells Kiba and Kai this, Kai mutters quietly to himself saying, "I'll give you S ranked criminal..just wait." "I just trust you two with a mission like this, if you can, please, try and bring Taekai back alive." Kai looks at Tsunade and nods as he takes a mission scroll that Tsunade hands out to Kai and Kiba, Kiba and Kai walk out the room. Kiba heads straight to his compound as Kai heads straight out back at the Hokages office. With his back pressed against the wall and his arms folded around his chest, and his head facing down with his right foot up against the concrete wall, Tsunade notices this and she decides to talk with Kai. Tsunade walks around the back and leans against the wall while looking at Kai, Kai slightly looks at Tsunade. "Hm?" Kai hums towards Tsunade, Kai may not know it but Tsunade doesn't treat him like the others, not because he's special, but because they just get on easily, so she decided that approaching Kai in this way would be the best form. "Kai, what's bothering you?" Tsunade asks as she walks closer to Kai and than again leans against the wall, Kai looks down at the ground slightly and than tells Tsunade, "This doesn't make any sense! Why did Taekai come back to the village and than set off to destroy the hidden mist village? It's more than absurd! It's fuckin' stupid!" Kai raises his voice in complete anger and as Kai says this his expression on his face turns to a nasty, hateful, expression. Kai looks at Tsunade with a sad and angry look, "I'll do more than just bring him back; I'll kick his fucking ass!" Kai once again raises his voice and looks down again while grinding his teeth together, "Kai, I don't think he wanted to do it." Tsunade tells Kai calmly as she puts her hand on his right shoulder. Kai looks up at Tsunade, "..Why though? Why the hidden mist village?" Tsunade looks away and ahead of herself as Kai looks slightly at the ground. "Was it to get to me?" Kai quietly asks himself, "What do you mean?" Tsunade asks Kai quietly, Kai raises his head up to look at Tsunade, "I have a friend, a close friend. She was the Hokage of the hidden mist village.." Tsunade clears her throat and than slowly begins to walk off. Kai and Kiba meet up at the gates, unexpectedly, Naruto comes running by while shouting, "Wait for me!" Kai and Kiba both draw their attention to Naruto and they scratch their head. Naruto skids his feet on the ground which kicks up a lot of dust and comes to a complete halt. As the Konoha gates open, a massive crowd gathers around at the gates, Kai, Kiba and Naruto turn backwards, as the crowd looks at the group and Akamaru budges his way through with Kasumi, leading Hinata to the front of the crowd. "Whats with this crowd?" Naruto asks himself quietly, "They must know we're going on a mission.." Kai says quietly as he slightly tilts his head down but keeps his eyes ahead and up looking at the crowd, "Yeah and a mission on which we may never come back on." Kiba says quietly, the crowd chatters and points at each individual, this is confusing Kai and the rest. Suddenly, Akamaru runs through the crowd and so does Kasumi, leading Hinata and Sakura to their couples, Kiba chats with Sakura and Akamaru as Naruto chats with Hinata, Kai kneels down to Kasumi as she sits on the ground, Kai runs his right hand on her head and ruffles her head, "I'll be fine I promise." Kai assures Kasumi, "But what if you don't come back?" Kasumi with a worried voice asks Kai, Kai looks away slightly and than he raises his left hand to Kasumi, with his palm open, Kasumi licks his palm and than stops. Kai stands back up and smiles at Kasumi. Kai than turns his attention to Kiba and Naruto, "Alright boys, man up. It's time to go." Kai tells them as he smiles and walks out of the village gates, Naruto kisses Hinata on the cheek before catching up with Kai, Kiba ruffles Akamaru's head and than Akamaru licks Kiba's palm aswell, Kiba stands back up and kisses Sakura on the lips before running off and shouting behind himself, "I'll be alright, Pink!" the village gates close as the crowd waves to their fellow ninjas. As the sun completely sets in and the moon comes out and its completely dark, Naruto looks at Kiba and asks him, "Why did your companions lick your palm?" Kiba turns to Naruto and tells him, "Incase something happens to us, say like. We die on a mission, our companions will be called out to trace our scent." "But what about your companions being able to smell your scent anyway?" Naruto asks Kiba, "Well you see Naruto, when they lick our palm, it increases the scent and senses highly." Naruto is surprised and they keep walking as Kai looks at the mission contents and the map they have. "Alright. We have to go passed the Sand Village, and carry on.
As Kai, Kiba, and Naruto arrive at their destination. Their destination is a village that was burned down to the ground completely, houses were broken into pieces, there was barely any cover, the sky was so dull, everything about the area was so dull, as Kai turns around he sees that this is a perfect view point on the Sand Village. Could this be Taekai's next move? To destroy the Sand Village? Kai looks fore-ward and sees Pein and Konan with Taekai in a chrome robe with the hood up, Taekai has his head down as he is being lead to the same destination, Kai orders Naruto to get up on a advantage point behind a few rocks up on a clif not to far from them, Kai orders Kiba to hide with him. Taekai arrives at the destination with Pein and Konan, as he does this, Konan passes Taekai a scroll, this looks to be the tenth scroll, if it is so. Than that scroll can cause a deadly chain reaction, hitting not just the Sand Village, but also hit the Konoha village, as Taekai takes the scroll and looks up at the Sand Village. Kiba and Kai land on their feet as Naruto is preparing for the big attack in-case Taekai turns on them all, "Taekai stop! What are you doing?" Kiba and Kai shout at Taekai, Taekai looks up from his hood that is connected to the robe, in all chrome colour, "Kiba...Kai...?" Taekai says to himself quietly as he clinches onto the scroll in his hand, "Don't do it Taekai! Their only using you!" Kai tells Taekai, Taekai turns behind himself and looks at the others, and than Taekai turns to his right side and looks at Konan, Konan than puts her right hand on his left hand, she gives him a look as if she's telling him she'll be there for him, Taekai turns fore-ward with a shocked expression and looks at the scroll as he puts the tip of his right index finger and thumb on the scroll. "Taekai, can you not see what they are doing? They tortured you! They will kill you after you destroyed the villages for them, don't cause anymore damage!" Kai shouts out trying to stop him. Taekai turns around to Kai and Kiba and tells them quietly, "Run.". As Taekai says this Kai gives Kiba the all clear to run off, and Kiba runs to Naruto to tell him what's about to happen. Konan gives Taekai a confused look as Pein looks at Kai with an angry expression. "Look, you best run off now." Pein warns Kai, Taekai rips open the scroll and puts his left hand infront of the scroll and than encloses his fingers except for the index and middle finger and also the thumb. Taekai than concentrates his Chakra as he closes his eyes and chants a mantra in his mind. Loud wind whistles are sounded along with powerful wind pushing through like a tornado. Kai looks around himself as Naruto and Kiba run off to safety. Heavy rain drops from the sky that turns from dull grey, into a blood storm. Pein and Konan look surprised and Kai runs to Taekai as the rain quickly turns into blood and Kai can feel his Chakra draining. Taekai is attempting suicide, he's trying to save himself from killing another village. Kai grabs onto Taekai while screaming, "No!". Right there and than, there is a loud thunder that can be heard from hours away. The people in the Konoha village gasp as Tsunade looks out the window and sighs, thinking of the worst. The Anbu's look in the direction and they feel bad, also fearing the worst. Sakura hugs Akamaru trying to not fear the worst and hope for the best, as Hinata gasps at the sound of the thunder. Kasumi wakes up from her sleep from the thunder, and she whimpers to herself as she howls...
