The night was closed away within the army of tall trees and plants. Thin gray blankets of clouds covered the full moon, though a few beams escaped and lit up spots and areas on the grass-earthy floor. The cool and dampened summer air welcomed the fireflies' dances, and the songs played by the crickets. Within the miles and miles of trees and grass, the faint sound of heavy footsteps could be heard nearby. But if you listen closely, you could hear the pitter-patter sound of more footsteps trampling the earth. They belonged to four men, carrying knives and swords and other things they could get their hands on: ropes, broken glass shards, so on. The closest footsteps that were running away from the men belonged to the one-and-only, legend of legends!...
...a lanky and skinny girl named Yoko.
She had been running away from them (they were once a mob of fifteen) for hours on end, and a few gave up. But the four remaining have potential. Yoko was even feeling the silent and small urge to give up! But she remained on running and running through the depths of the forest, the one hound the men brought on her trail. After a long while, Yoko began to feel her sides ache from running. They began to hurt A LOT. She tried to find somewhere to hide where the dog's nose won't sniff her out. Only if she had more charka... She was almost out and to kill four men and a dog would drain her for days on end!
Just then, she turned her head to the left and saw an easy-to-climb tree. Praying that it would work, Yoko swung onto the first branch and started to climb up from there. From the height, she stayed and panted quietly as the miniature mob ran past her. Relieved, she started to swing down....
"AHHH!" she yelped, slipping and falling face-flat in a puddle of mud.

"Hehe...that look like it coulda hurt." Vinny said holding Yoko in one arm just before she hit the mud.
"You gotta be a little more careful." Vinny said sitting her down in front of the tree, "You could hurt yourself, and you need to learn to conserve chakra better!" He continued pointing his finger at her as if she were a small child that was being lectured

Being caught, Yoko yelped, and was about to bite whoever had caught her. But, she couldn't budge. Her teeth were clenched together and fear had erupted into her body, making her tremble violently. This way, her body would store up a little static and friction, recharging her charka for a short period of time. Only she could do it, with her unknown clan and bloodline.
It was all a lost cause. He let her down and started to lecture her. Taking a minute to un-drown herself from the shock that he wasn't trying to kill her, she gathered her thoughts. When he was done talking, she smiled bitterly, her teeth showing. "I'm sorry, sir," she said, stepping back. And with his guard down as she spoke, she raised her hand to brush a stray hair away. "I'll be careful next time..." and with that, she smashed her fist into her jaw, blood dripping down the corner of his mouth. Within a half a second, she sprinted away, fast on her toes.
Running away from another, she made sure that she was running with all her might. She had to keep turning her head back to make sure he wasn't catching up. And when she turned her head forward...she smashed into something.

"You gotta move faster than that." Vinny said standing in a tree right above her. His jaw was ok and the blood was dripping the trunk of the tree very slowly but otherwise he felt fine, "Yeah I really don't have time for chasing you...wanna go to the Neos Village???" He continued with a grin.

{{Lying_there_with a_[HALO]_in_her_hair,_she [CRIED] _ Running, the only thing she knew as a child. To run from the world, to run from the statements made to her by the criticizing world. Tears streamed down her pale face, the yelling voices still imprinted into her mind. Not long ago she had been sitting, eating peacefully on the ramen she ordered. Only then had someone dared open their mouth, hadn't it been long enough that Raku lived in the village? People should have grown used to the unfortunate girl, had she picked to be bitten or had a demon sealed inside her? [/size] [Welcome, please have a seat. You have come to view 'Twilight' but ha ha, you have been fooled. Sit back and relax, ready to watch a flashback?] The sun was shimmering lightly in the sky, the few birds had been chattering among themselves. Raku walked into the Ramen shop, a small smile on her lips. A small child looked up, fear entering his eyes at once. Of course, his big brother beside him was chuckling. Only last night the older boy had told his younger sibling of 'the demon girl who eats little children'. Now the child tried to hide in his mother's grasp, as Raku sat down two seats from them. His mother looked down, "Hunny, what's wrong? You need to eat your lunch, I'm not sitting here all day." The small child looked up, fear captivating his large copper eyes. "That girl, mommy! Zakki said she eats little children! A demon with big fangs and no heart!" His voice in a terrified scream. Raku looked over instantly, seeing his small hand pointing at her. His mother gasped quickly, "Sweetie! Hokage has told us not to mention anything about that, no one knows what'll make her snap again!" Raku began to quiver lightly, clutching the end of the table with one hand. She stood up with haste, venom filled eyes lacing towards the boy. With that she ran, ran from the whispers floating around the ramen store. [/left] [Thank you for your time, please go on with your worthless lives.] Her eyes filled again with tears, the trees brushing past her as she ran. It was then her teeth clenched, another body collided with her own. A deep growl rose in her throat, now was not the time to run into another. Staggering back wards, Raku caught sight of the girl. No one she had seen before. Taking a step forward her hand reached out, grabbing the girl by her shirt's collar. "What do you think you're doing?! Do you know how to see?!" She snarled angrily. Her fangs showing slightly as she tried to contain herself from trying to kill the girl. Her arm began to shake, dropping the girl onto the lush ground. No, no more enemies needed to be made. It was then she caught sight of Vinny in the distance, that was someone she could take her anger out on. She stepped around the girl, walking to Vinny. Small claws grew upon her nails, embedding themselves into Vinny's face. She snarled furiously, "Trying to bug this girl to death?! Leave her alone, and go on being an idiot, no one wants you here!" {{There_are_[FEATHERS]_everywhere,_but_it's_[FINE] |

"That's not true...Ms." Vinny said but with an edge to his voice. "Poor poor little wretch...crying yourself out when you know deep down...nobody loves you. You've tried to delude yourself into thinking that for once someone cared and deep down, you have doubt that he doesn't...your right, he doesn't." The voice that was coming from Vinny's mask cackled as the mask off of Vinny's face revealing a mark crawling up the right side of his face. Vinny grabbed Raku by her neck and flung her across into a nearby tree. The scars on Vinny's face from Raku were dripping with blood, "Oh...yes you poor thing. You will make a glorious meal for me!" The right side of Vinny's mouth yelled in excitement.

Slowly drifting off into willing, unconsciousness, Yoko felt her blood rush around in her body at a fast pace. That only meant that she was recharging her cells and beginning to store more and more chakra in her arms and legs. Almost at peace, she remembered that there was a guy near her, who could easily kill her. So, she fought to stay awake and conscious. The harsh lifting by the collar did help (and cause pain).
"What do you think you're doing?! Do you know how to see?!" the dark creature roared at Yoko, making her tremble. Through a single beam of light, Yoko could only see the angry eyes, a color of which Yoko had never seen before. "I...I..." she attempted, then being dropped on the ground. "I..."
Just then, a fight flashed before her eyes, the guy she hit back into view. Yoko trembled as he spoke so quickly to the woman who had yanked Yoko up and dropped her back down. In total fear if the man or the woman were planning on killing her, Yoko stood up, holding onto a tree branch for support. The sight she was witnessing now, was one that looked almost inhuman. But she felt in luck. She seemed unnoticeable at the moment. A great time to escape...
"Poor poor little wretch...crying yourself out when you know deep down...nobody loves you."
Yoko froze. Was the strange man speaking to her? No, he was speaking to the woman.
"You've tried to delude yourself into thinking that for once someone cared and deep down, you have doubt that he doesn't...your right, he doesn't."
What? Yoko thought, shaking. Who was he?

Furuzu quickly ran and caught Raku, his back hitting the tree. "Are you okay MisS" he sagently setting her on her feet. He then looked at Vinny. "I knew there was something to you" Furuzu said getting ready to fight. His chakra string attached to his puppet, Yamabura. He then noticed Yoko on the ground. "You just can't kkep your hands off woman, can't you" he said with a smirk. Yamabura slowly pulled out his sword and let the edge hit the ground. His sapphire eyes turnes serious and his smirk faded.

"Hi puppet man!" Vinny said from the nearby tree.
Stay out of this!
"Oh no...who provoked...Hehe...so your Sasori's brother huh? You wanna end up like him? In pieces? So sad for the wolf girl...she must really think highly of that idiot of a boyfriend Deidara. The man needs to learn when to keep his mouthes shut!" The voice yelled to Furuzu with a devilish grin.

{{ And°as°the°[BLOOD]°runs°down°these°[WALLS]
Love, had she ever even known love? The voice made her shiver, not the Vinny she had known. Though as he spoke, the words seemed to sink into her very being. It was true, what he spoke, why had she been fooling herself? Deidara would never love her, could never, and hadn't ever. It had all been a lie, maybe even a cruel joke. Though she couldn't pass it through her mind, for Kei seemed to think different.
Force penetrated into her neck, throwing her into a nearby tree. At once breath had been knocked from her lungs, causing her vision to ebb for a moment. Blood dripped in a steady stream down from her pale lips. The crimson liquid seeming to fade out her moon tanned skin. After gaining her breath and vision a deep growl erupted from her throat. "Bastard! You know nothing of me or my life!" She screamed with fury growing in her sea foam eyes. She stood up shakily, violently brushing the blood away from her mouth. A swift glance was given to the other girl, before looking back to Vinny. Her eyes now the hue of deep onyx, fangs extended to protrude from her pink lips. Obsidian chakra shrouded her bodice as four long tails grew from her lower back. Two shaggy canine ears replaced her own, as knife like claws replaced her black painted nails. Within the blink of an eyes she was gone, standing behind Vinny the next.
"Damn you to the darkest regions where no breath can be taken! There is no reason you deserve to live!" She whispered with venom lacing through her lyrics. Dagger claws tore themselves into his shoulders, ripping down his back. She lunged backwards, handsigns in flight. Two massive ravens appeared in the sky, beginning to spiral downwards in a dive. As they neared range the birds transformed into windmill shuriken. Hitting the ground with a splatter of blood, they held Vinny down tightly. There was no way for him to escape, or for this to be a clone. Fool proof training had brought her to this moment, Pein wouldn't have wasted so much time. A deep snarl ripped through her throat, more handsigns began to be made. She quickly placed her hand to her mouth, biting her thumb swiftly. She touched each finger before slamming her hand into the lush ground.
A beast rose from the ground, blood flowing continuously from large embedded cuts around its neck. A loud whinny rang out from his fang filled jaw. The shape of a horse is what it came as, hooves equipped with daggers. Another head sprouted from its neck, one coal the other ivory. A mane of fire for the coal, flowing water for the ivory. THe tail was a mix of both elements, swirling as one. The beast looked down to Raku, Crimson eyes taking in it's master's form. Raku nodded once before lunging to Vinny's pinned form. "You'll wish you were dead, now suffer!" She whispered into his ear with hate filled words.
Raku waved her hand towards the beast, as it reared back onto its hind hooves. At once fire and water shot from each mouth, lacing together. In rhythmic time the two elements slammed into Vinny. Raku stood beside the beast, a dark smirk growing on her pale lips. One hand raised, stroking the large horse who stood towering stories above her. A large chain wrapped around each of the necks, connecting into a the twin horse's withers. Raku chuckled darkly, "Stay out of this....Everyone..."

"Forgive me...4th lord." Vinny said through the blood gushing out of his mouth. In an instant with no handsigns, no summon marks or anything, Vinny had vanished from the spot that he was previously pinned down on.
With a cackle Vinny stood on the same limb he was on before being pushed, "What a waste, did you think that all I did in 10 years was goof off? No, I found my style of jutsu. If you every fought the boy named Tobi, you may recognize that technique I just used. The voice continued wiping some of the blood from his chest. To think it you spent all that time to attempt to attack me, and it was wasted!" He continued with a yell as he threw his own hand on the tree limb to reveal two very small german-shepard-like dogs, one pure black and one pure white.

Yoko found herself in the background. It was hard to believe she woke up this morning in the wine storage of a strangers' cellar, the purpose of taking shelter wherever she could. And it was almost noon when she stole six wine bottles, drank one and sold the other five for profit, and stole a few other things she could get her hands on, and sold a few, kept a few. It was hard to believe that she seemed so common and ordinary walking through the nameless town with bulging pockets of cash and an armful of junk waiting to be sold, did the stranger reappear and notice that she was trying to sell away his prized pendant. He called the authorities and realized what a big bounty was on her head, and within one hour, there was already four separate mobs after her.
It may have seemed extraordinary and a fearful life to some, but compared to what was now taking place, it seemed almost as average as breathing or blinking with both eyes. And the scary part was...it all started with clumsiness.
Now, the man who she had first encountered who she was pretty sure wasn't after her, seemed terrifying. She almost brought herself to trust him back there...and god only knows what may have happened! But punching him (or his substitution) wasn't smart, either. And the woman who has a murderous look on her lovely and paled face, went from threatening Yoko, to helping Yoko, to killing the random guy, to being helped by another random guy. And that same random guy was pretty freaky, for someone who just appeared through the shadows.
Yoko's muscles tensed at everything, her mind urging her to run for what she was worth (and according to the WANTED signs, she was a dammed winning lottery ticket!), but her body wouldn't budge, and neither her eyeballs. She wanted to stay.
...If you every fought the boy named Tobi...
TOBI? The name zoomed through her head. Oh yes! She had met a young man by that name once... He offered her some bread and talked nonsense about the Akatsuki and wanting to join. That was almost...don't know. Probably seven or a thousand years ago?
"I think...I know him," Yoko blurted out. Her face was serious, and even though she bet that she was going to be killed soon, she didn't shut her mouth. "Weird mask? Sharigan eye? Is kind of slow?"

"Oh yes, I almost forgot the brat."Vinny said as the mark on his face creeped over to the other side. In an instant, his now clawed hand was on Yoko's throat and is seemed as if her fear was draining her chakra. His body grew stronger as he threw the almost unconcious girl to the ground and leapt back into the tree were his two summoned dogs were snarling at the horse thing. "Alright you two, make yourself useful and transform!" He yelled as the two dogs jumped into the air. The two dogs then poofed and were a pair of matching knife-like weapons attached by a neverending chain of chakra. The smile on Vinny's face went from anger, amusement, to mad in an instant. His stance ready, he glared at Yoko as if daring her to make another statement.

Yoko could already see his hand coming close, and within seconds, grab her throat. But as the hand attempted to draw her charka, she vanished, a stone figure in her place. No handsigns. No marks. Just like Tobi, minus the important details. This technique? Look familiar? Hell no. This technique is all hers. Unlike this guy.
The stone figure was thrown and broken into pieces, faux charka floating out of it like spirit. Yoko, herself was hidden away, her charka exploding inside her. She took one, then two seconds of a breath and zoomed down at Vinny, her eyes making sure that it was the real one, and not a goddamn log.*
In a pathetic attempt to fight back, she wrapped her arms around Vinny's neck and punched him several times on the head, praying she wouldn't fall off as Vinny tried to throw her off. Yoko then, knowing for sure it was the real Vinny and not a clone or a substitution or something*, gathered her lightning charka and electrocuted him.
"You son of a bitch!" she screamed at Vinny, not caring for the colorful language. Her anger was at it's boiling point, and she was right now, ready to kill with reason. Which, for Yoko, was pretty weird. "What depths of hell did you crawl out from? Why would you attempt to kill me for goddamn speaking?!?!"
* = If you keep dodging every attack,
that means you're godmodding.
Against rules. Understand?! >:[

"Fool...you simply believe something like me...the abomination that is me...is from hell? No, I was born just like you...but you can blame some effin' demon for th...augh!" Vinny yelled letting blood continue to drip from his mouth and cheeks. His body was badly paralyzed but that surge did help him regain control a bit. His mask, which was now on the ground was laying right next to him. With what little strength and control he had, he placed the mask back on his face and used the little chakra he had to seal the mark back under the mask. Vinny laid there, focusing only on breathing, not caring that he could die at any moment. That some lunatic was next to him, that his dogs had become his only protection, but were a useless pile of smoke now. He laid there and laughed but stopped because his lungs hurt. "Hehe...I always...wanted...to die...laug..." He had closed his eyes and his body melted into the ground.
((Twist!))
