"I don't know his name." Yuri responded, and then stopped. She didn't talk any further; as she was too busy drifting in her mind. She had indeed fought with the man, but that was her second mission. He was only at least 1/16th as skilled as he had become now, but he was still a ninja. Her former skill was also cut to about that same degree. And when they fought, you could tell he wasn't a murderer.

When he fought, he fought quickly, and tried to attack the weak spots. But when he moved to do so, he looked as if he was trying to give himself away. Like he was trying to send a message.

Yuri was only ten at that time, and Hikaru was about 14. Even then, he was flawless… Or as flawless as a Genin could be. But there was something about him then, surely he wasn’t a bad guy.

Yuri just wasn’t sure if her feelings were accurate.

-----------------------

Hikaru was also thinking about his previous battle with Yuri. He thought about who he was then, and who he was now.

He managed to stifle a laugh, because back then, he wasn’t a murderer. He fought for honor, not for blood. Back then, he was different, but he had to try and hide it.

He at least remembered that battle better then everything else going on with the current one.

-----------------------

Six years earlier...

-----------------------

The training session was interrupted. Some of the younger students screamed down the hall, Yuri turned to see what had happened.

This Dojo was an old building near China, antique weapons and relics hung on the wall. The building looked straight out of one of those old Chinese movies where the words never matched the mouths of the fighters, but in color.

Two people walked from the hall. A tall Jounin with a ninja band around his arm, showing his skill and ‘family’ in which he belonged to, stood tall with two swords hanging from his side and back. The emblem on the band represented that of air. Three soft lines floated from one end of the metal to the other, representing the wind as it blew across a field.

His black outfit was similar to Hikaru’s current one, but without chains, and a straw hat. He wore an assassin’s mask over his mouth, instead of a mask. The hilts of his swords had a cloth wrapped. The three foot end of the cloth flew through the air as wind found its way from the main entrance of the garden.

The other was much younger, about the age of 14. While he indeed looks trained, he had no band like the one of his master’s, and the outfit he wore looked too big for him, making him look rather goofy. At the time, this was Hikaru. No sword, and instead wore a dark blue Gi and no mask.

He was supposedly trained, but his eyes seemed to wonder around the room much more then a 3 year old child being introduced to a Candy Land gift shop. He didn’t wear gloves, and the belt around his waist carried an unusual wavy pattern with blue and white.

Many of the younger children ran behind many of the furniture, even if they knew better to begin with…

-----------------------

Hikaru’s mind was suddenly brought back as the dust flew toward him. If he was right, this powder would have something to do with spider pallet rested between his fingers.

He did the best he could to dodge, vanishing to just behind a tree where most of the powder wouldn’t get to him.

-----------------------

Yuri’s master stood up, his hands bare, and his outfit a normal white. Yuri’s outfit was elegant, to say the least. The sleeves and other long parts of her outfit complimented her fighting style, giving her a semi-afterimage, which, of course, was useful against certain ‘slow’ adversaries.

The two masters seemed to stare at each other for about 15 minutes, before the Opposing Jounin fired off in striking position to take down Yuri’s trainer in one hit. He was followed shortly with the younger Genin running forward to attack Yuri.

She moved quickly, jumping forward to counter attack Hikaru before he even got the chance to. He was knocked backward, stumbling to regain his balance.

Meanwhile, the fight with Yuri’s master and the Jounin had already begun its stage of a fury of attacks and blocks, most of which too fast for her to see…

-----------------------

Hikaru fell to the ground as his endurance was suddenly sucked out of him. At the same time, something was attacking his mind to force him into sleep.

Everyone in the Dojo experienced the same thing… A sudden loss of endurance, followed by an attempt to bring them quickly to unconsciousness… Some of the younger learners in the Dojo quickly fell to the floor out cold.

Hikaru did the best he could to resist the affects. Standing up slowly, tying to regain his posture.

-----------------------

Yuri was already in bad shape, so suddenly bringing her down was quick. She was suddenly ‘pushed’ backward, followed by an attack of the mind, which left her on the bed, knocked out for possible hours.

Hmm, so he doesn’t quite understand what’s going on…typical, Jase thought as he listened to Hikaru’s words...

OOC EDIT: Oh, nevermind. I take back my last comment. ))

Hey, that's shiny!

-Burning Fang

Matrix online made number 43... THAT made me laugh.

Toontown online made number 46... That made me a tad bit depressed.

It was my second MMO, and it is VERY kid friendly. One of the reasons I went to it was because my child liked it. He said it was fun, and I saw it had better graphics then Runescape! That, and I was getting highly annoyed with Runescape to begin with. -_-

Does anyone in that game know how to freakin' type? *Throws up fist in anger.*

CoH is technically number three on the list. WoW expansions don't count.

Night and the large stranger fought furiously as the world around them fell apart little by little. He was the new enemy, and he and Night were the only ones not affected by the unusual circumstances that befell the city around them.

Night fought with fists drenched in dark matter. Their fists met, forcing a backward affect on each other. Negative against negative pushed each other away like a magnet. When the attacks met, they were now able to block, or was probably too weak upon impact.

Over time, the stranger’s power grew. He was able to hit harder, fight faster, move quicker for his large size. He had managed to bruise Night’s arm, and her lower right leg, even through the negative affects.

Night was eventually beginning to understand his tactics, using it against the large man. She attacked his weak spots. She aimed at the parts of his body not covered with dark energy to negate her dark matter.

She was smart, and that is what she planned to use during the battle. The large man’s attacks grew old quickly, but he obviously wouldn’t give up. Something was unnatural with this man. His endurance was far greater then normal, and even though his scratches and new bruises, he remained as fit as before.

They stopped attacking. The large figure remained on one side of the platform, and she was on the other. While she tried to catch her breathe, he stood still… Waiting…

He stretched out a hand, aiming it a Night. She grew tense as her muscles began to twitch, waiting to contract and move her away from any incoming attack. That attack never came…

Night moved quickly, forcing her feet to jump, propelled by extra dark energy. She spirals to the foe, her hands in front of her in an X, aimed at the top of the man’s head.

Then something happened. Unusual purple streaks with bight yellow tips flew up from the ground, circle around the man’s body as it drew to his hand. Night recognized, remembering who else had a similar attack. Ghost Widow.

The Soul Storm flew to her before she could react. It surrounded her, immobilizing her, forcing her to hover above the ground as the storm moved her body upward. Her vision blurred as the storm moved her body in a way as not to know what she was looking at.

The storm also seemed to damage her body with unusual new spirit damage. She was held up in the air, now unable to move as the large figure began to move toward her. Under his mask, grew a malicious grin.

He was about to do something bad.

He was about to kill…

-----------------------------

In the real world, the spirit energy began to take affect. Her skin paled, and her body looked as if it were rotting. The sight could make anyone cringe, and she was unable to do anything about it. No one could interfere from the real world, or at least, until the fight was over.

-----------------------------

((OOC: Ok… Hazard is coming next.

-Burning Fang))

So THAT’S what he was forgetting… Stupid barrier techniques. Hikaru stood still as his arms and legs twitched for the lust of movement. The pallets came quite quickly, but were still far too slow to make contact with him.

He quickly zipped to Jase’s left, away from the other three contestants. The pallets erupted upon impact, resulting in a large pool of a sticky glue like substance. “The last time I’ve seen that attack was with a white haired man and his endless supply of arrows.”

Just as he started speaking, Hikaru threw two Hira shuriken over the speed of sound at the barrier. He didn’t expect to see it hit Jase, it was more of a test to see how strong the barrier was.

-----------------------------------

If anyone was paying any attention at all, they would notice that all of them were becoming tired. Their energy was dropping at a slow rate, but would hasten over time. Everyone in the Dojo was being affected, and soon, almost everyone would be asleep.

Those who manage to resist these affect will still suffer with the loss of energy, and a sudden slowness. Their metabolic rate would be highly affected, and their brain wouldn’t react as fast as it should. Even Hikaru and the contestants were being affected, but no one knew exactly from where is came.

-----------------------------------

((OOC: Now, I’m not trying to get everyone asleep so I can kill them. Instead, it is the beginning of a future plot twist. Y’know, Something to jolt the Dojo a bit. But don’t worry, it isn’t something big. It’s nothing that will force everyone into war.

-Burning Fang))

Hikaru kept his eyes on Jase while he remained in his barrier of dust. The particles didn’t seem to bother his eyes… That or he was too trained to react.

“I’m overconfident, not deaf.” He retorted to Pyre and the others, keeping his eyes on Jase.

Hikaru slowly placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, resting his hand on it for any sudden attacks. He restarted his hot headed little act on Jase.

“That technique you used is quite common, and hardly requires skill. I expected something… Flashier…” He bluffed about the low skill, and possibly about the rareness, but was being quite truthful about the ‘flashy’ part.

Hikaru had seen this technique, but currently didn’t remember any part of it. He didn’t remember what was going to happen next, or what affects it had; he simply knew that he had seen it.

Normally this wouldn’t happen. In fact, this never happened! Maybe he should have stopped to take a nap before walking into the Dojo. Going for days without sleep is always a bad thing, but why did he have to experience it now?

He shook his head, bringing himself back to the fight. Wait… Why am I fighting again? He thought to himself, looking back to Jase.

Hikaru slowly lifted his hand from the hilt of his sword, bringing it back up to his chest, along with his other hand. He moved his fingers in another awkward position, forming yet another Chinese character.

He kept his fingers in that position for awhile, focusing the chakra in his body. His eyes widened ad new energy was being pumped into his body. His body stiffened, his muscles wanting to contract, like a child with an overdose of sugar. He had at least one more day of energy before passing out completely.

Now he had another problem. With the new jolt of energy, he just completely forgot that he was forgetting something in the first place!

He left eye twitched, and his left hand fiddled with the cloth wrapped around the sword. If Jase attacked now, Hikaru would be all over hm.

But if the others were paying close attention, they would something was affecting Hikaru. And it wasn’t the powder, the energy, or anything even in the Dojo.

-------------------------

Yuri continued about three steps before stopping herself and Toru once more. After a couple of seconds had past, she continued.

Maybe Toru was right, and she was in no condition to go back. She rolled the battle with Hikaru once more in her head. What had happened stung her, like a child being slapped in the face for something stupid.

Yuri was faster then what she had displayed. Not responding to the attacks of the assailant quick enough was to her, insulting… She should have moved quicker, and she beat herself up about it.

((OOC: Like I said in all of my previous threads, I’m back after having my internet disconnected for a bit.

-Burning Fang))

((OOC: Sorry, internet was disconnected for about three days. And I'm sorry for still not posting, so I suggest finding some way to entertain yourselves. Give me about… Oh I don’t know, really. I’m just way in over my head with the other threads right now. *Sigh*

*Vanish!*

-Burning Fang

((OOC: Ok, I still have no idea what the heck Jase's weapon's are. Could you post a Wiki link or something? I tried to search the item, but, instead, I got some unusual (yet interesting) information about the human body... o_o

-Burning Fang))

Wow! That is VERY nice! Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Is it just me, or does this photo look a little like a close up of Freeza? (Or whatever that guy's name it...)

Back to all seriousness... THE FIRST ARTWORK OF MEEEE!! Can I cuddle with you?

-Burning Fang and Proto Zone

Woah! The pointy chin looked awk-weird to me at first, but, I like it! Keep up the good work!

-Burning Fang.... Oh, and Please! ^_^

I knew I forgot something! I didn't mean to leave out the please, it simply just... Slipped!

So... Um... Please?

-Burning Fang

I'm going to assume that maybe I am asking too much by walking in here and randomly asking for art. If so, you may ignore this thread and pretend it never existed... All the other threads I post in like to... >_>

So...
-Burning Fang out!

Edit: Um... Please?

Hikaru disappeared from his position, reappearing directly behind Jase as he moved. He 'slowly' shoved his foot forward to meet Jase's back.

"Wow, you are slow..."

------------------

((OOC: By 'slowly', I meant that it is still faster then someone swinging a bat at someone else's head.

-Burning Fang))

((OOC: I killed the thread again, didn't I? ))

So... What was the pic he traced?

Sorry about going a little off topic, I just want to see what exactly he traced from. (And the result.)

Oh, and that was very bad. He should have gotten banned.

-Burning Fang

Hello everyone. I'm not usually in this side of the forums, and when I am, it isn't good.

I've been wanting someone to draw one of my characters for a while, and I think today is the best time! Of course, if I have to pay something... Well, I'm broke. Feel free to do whatever you want with Proto Zone. (Yes I know, feel free to make fun of the name...)

Sorry about the purple aura, I still had my debt protection when I took these, and I don't want to update 'cause I'm lazy. When I9 hits, I'm going to try to get me some Rocket Boots and Tech wings for my fifth costume. (To take place of that ugly christmas outfit I made.)

I'm not looking for anything in specific; I just want some Fan Art!

Anyway… Good luck!
-Burning Fang

Edit: Please?

Wow! Thanks for the help! The bad news, now I owe you.

(Time for me to start drawing... Hopefully I won't mess it up this time...)
