Dead - because I killed it (O.pen)

[[.Arin.]]

In a small village outside Konoha, loud screams echoed through the air. The air stank of death and blood while the very same blood coated the streets. Throughout the village people ran about, tearing down the streets, through alleyways, anything to get away rom the predator that had taken over during the late evening.

With the moon shining between the clouds, cascading down over the village, a dark shape suddenly whipped through the air, jumping from roof to roof, her tattered dark gray cloak whipping in the air behind the black figure. The shape suddenly fell gracefully into the alley, her eyes suddenly giving off a flash of light before a young man was struck down against the ground, a large gash in his back that oozed thick red blood. A large grin spread across her face and she narrowed her eyes, kneeling beside the dying boy, her fingers tracing his cheekbone as she smirked down at him. "Don't look so scared..." she soothed, her voice calming and smooth. The boy seemed to relax under her touch before he looked up at her, blinking through his pain as he twitched on the ground. He gave her a scared, yet questioning look, and she returned it by placed her finger tips under his chin and lifting it up so he'd look directly at her. "You'll be with your parents soon enough." she growled, barring her sharp canines. Then there was a howl of pain that echoed through the chill night air, as a double ended spear was shoved between his shoulder blades. She let his head fall back to the ground, licking the blood off of her finger tips before slowly returning to her feet, sighing casually as she brushed her hair from her face.

Then she was off again, the small little killer racing out of the alleyway, suddenly skidding to a halt when she was met by a wall of nin a few dozen feet away. Inclining her head, she blinked at them, wondering what they'd do. She doubted they saw her kill the boy in the shadows, so this might actually provide some entertainment. A small smirk graced her lips, and she glared at them, licking her lips. "This won't take long." she purred, her speech slurring a little as she placed her hands lightly on her hips.

Scanning the crowd, she looked for anyone who might be a worthy opponent for her. So far she didn't look to impressed, just some simple jonin and ANBU stood before her. Sighing her overwhelming dissapointement and shaking her head a little, she took a step forward, only to get a gasp from the crowd. Chuckling darkly, she took another step forward, her eyes filled with darkness. One of the men took a step forward, pointing a long katana at her. "Prepare to die Akatsuki scum." the man growled, his face clouded with a mingle of ear and range. Apparently someone here had a least recognized her - well she was infact one of the bijuu, an akatsuki member, and one o the best. Her power was well known plus she was once known as the Land of the moon killer, having massacred half of the village back in the day. The day being before she was ten years old.

There was a moments silence before she suddenly laughed darkly. She watched the confusion cross her face, just as a grin crossed her. "I'll kill you last." she hissed, her grin menacing now. "Slowly.... and painfully."

A smirk slowly spread on her face, and her dark eyes glanced over the the still horror struck jonin and ANBU. "Well if no one has any more smart ass comments to make... lets get started then shall we." she purred before stepping forward again, her eyes sharp, her glare like daggers.

Making a few hand signs, Arin glared in the direction of her enemies. They were looking at her, with more terror and anger then she'd seen in a long time. Oh how she missed making people suffer like this. "Kumori Tama no Jutsu," As soon as those words left her lips, shards of darkness shot forward and slit a small part of several of their necks. Then she smelled the air, and bit down on her own lip. She could almost taste it from here. Oh, how she'd mutilate them, then afterwards she'd feast on their dead bodies. Licking her lips in anticipation, she sighed. And now that she had the scent she could kill them, without even leaving this spot.

"Blood manipulation Jutsu." she breathed - in an eerie ton a voice. Her eyes instantly went a little wider then usual and then she reached a had forward, the bones in her fingers cracking slightly at her muscles tenses and grew hard. Then several of the men began to scream in agony, and claw at their skin. Blood began to seep through invisible cuts in their skin and she smelled the air, sighing her contentment. Then she closed her hand suddenly and they all burst, blood spraying everywhere, all over their comrades.

Arin squeaked victoriously, smiling to herself before she suddenly took a quick step forward and moved her hands into signs again. "Shiruba Eclipse no Jutsu." There was a single moment of eerie silence and then the moon light seem to glow as it fell to the ground. The light became more brilliant around the remaining men. Then their skin began to sizzle and burn, burning right off their bones. Then her open hand closed quickly and sudden shots of silver cut through each of them in different places.

There was only one remaining person left to kill, it stood before her, bathed in blood, staring at her, gapping, in complete shock.

Approching him quietly, her smiled, almost menacingly, her eyes half lidded as she looked up at the tall man. "Your turn..." she chimed softly, smiling again. He seemed to snap out of his trance at that moment, growling in anger before swinging his sword at her in a long upper cut. In one swift leap, she stepped up her speed and leaped, landing directly on his own blade before flashing a direct punch to his face. He staggered backward long enough for her to leap back, flipping backward in the air and landing gracefully on one hand, then lowering herself in one more smooth moment to her feet before she came forward again, her two sais in hand. In an X shape - she cut them across his chest, then swung, doing a roundhouse kick, pushing him to the ground with the force of the impact.

In a flash of light, she leaped, suddenly transforming into a sleak, silver wolf. She landed on his chest before her open mouth of teeth clamped down on his neck before tearing outward. He let out a muffled scream, blood spattering the both of them, the ground, and the dead bodies around her. Leaping off the body, she shook, ridding her fur of blood before she transformed back to normal, stretching her arms above her head, arching her back like a cat as she popped her neck, and a few bones cracked. Sighing, she looked around at the bloody messed she'd left strewn over the land. Smirking she placed her hands on her hips. Time to eat! But where to start?

[{Hori}-<C>Ha.N]

Ryozu the tall 18 year old boy who could easily be mistaken for twenty. He was wearing a black cloak with no sleeve on his right arm and a long ripped up sleeve sleeve on the left side that slightly went down over his right hand. He had his eyes closed as he sat on the edge of a lac out side of the forest near kirigakure. His large scythe was laying on the ground beside him along with a staff that had a strange ring with a gem hanging off it. On his right had he had huge metal claws that reached out very far. He looked out onto the water, his black hair fell lightly infront of his eyes.

Nozomi was sniffing around near Ryozu, she looked up in the air as she could smell blood. She walked over to Ryozu and laid beside him, licking his left hand. Ryozu-kun I can smell blood she said looking up at him.

He did not take his eyes off the water, I know the smell of death lingers He said as he stood up and picked up both his staff and his scythe. She looked towards the forest as she took the had of Ryozu. He looked down at her as he pulled his hand away. Nozomis ears went down flat against her head. A purple glow form his hand formed as it went to her neck greeting like a leash, She smiled and looked up at him as they stated to walk. Her tail was swaying from side to side as they entered the forest. Ryozu looked at the girl standing in the middle of the massacre, was she the murderer or the victim?

[[.Arin.]]

Arin bent over, taking the dead man's arm firmly in her grasp, her eyes bright as she dug her claws in. She was about to rip it off with one quick tug, her ears gave a flick and she stood very still, her nostrils flaring as new scents came to her. She was in an open area so there was no one where jump into hidding, so she simply straightened up carefully, her claws pulling out of the arm, blood coating her fingers. At the edge of the clearing she noted two figures emerging from the brush, one a male, maybe o 20, the other, an adorable little girl who she instantly wanted to hug.

With ears completely pricked, she tilted her head to the side like an interested bird, her eyes probing and seeking answers as she gazed at them on the other side of the field of dead bodies. Without waiting, she suddenly dissapeared, reappearing behind them and glomping the little girl with the neko ears as she purred loudly. "Oooh, you're so cute!" she chimed loudly, releasing her, her eyes big, bright, and filled with the interest of a child.

[Ryu-san]

The stench of death lingered in the air all around Kirigakure, many Chuunin approached the great guardian of the village, telling him of this girl from Akatsuki, the man's ears twitched as he heard these words, he stood up, his eyes shifted from their normal sky blue to a crimson red. The katana which he had taken off his back was restrapped in its usual spot on his back, brass, platinum knuckle busters were attached to his fists, his red eyes glanced down upon the chuunin messages and he simply asked "Where is this akatsuki scum?"

Once they gave a location, he vanished in a blurr. The winds shifted, wisps of wind formed around the field of battle, the village guardian shot through the village like a blurr, moving at the speed of lightning, his angelic eyes were activated. He glared upon the group who he does not recognise as residents of this village and he simply pointed toward them and asked in a cold tone "State your business!" The kirigakure headband was tied to his bicep, he curled his lips into a scowling smirk as he glared upon their forms, but he looked to this Arin girl and noticed something wierd about her eyes. The look of bloodlust.

Ryu's chakra enveloped his form, he had summoned the chakra of Dark Fang, the king of the bijuus which in fact resides inside him. Ryu powered up his knuckle busters using his jutsu, Angelic Wind blade. Now using his Angelic eyes, Ryu could see the chakra flow of Arin, who he has noticed as the akatsuki scum, the other two seem innocent but he won't keep his guard down. Ryu leaped from his position, using his speed, he vanished in a blurr, only to reappear behind Arin, he placed his hand upon her shoulder and tapped upon it, then he said.

"I see you like to prey on the weak, now it is time for you to prey on me, one of the strongest shinobi from Kirigakure. So let's dance." Ryu's tone was cocky, his knuckle busters glowed with the chakra of the silver sabre-toothed tiger within him. Ryu was ready to take this murderer out but he knew better than to kill her, it was better to knock her out and arrest her. However if he did wind up killing her, it would merely just be one more notch upon his belt. And now he needed to wait for her to face him, as once she does, he would show her the power of Kirigakure.

[[.Arin.]]

Arin's deep purple ears suddenly twitched. Her body stiffened a little, and she prepared to leap over the two infront of her. There was a new chakra flow near, a demonically familiar one. She didn't even turn her head slightly when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She simply kept her eyes aimed forward. Tilting her head back to look at him, she blinked her huge violet eyes at him. Her eyes had the look of a childs, as usual, but she knew that's what got to people, that she could look like a child, yet she could kill my the hundreds.

"Hewo." she chimed cutely, her ears flicking up as she smiled. The only remeniscence of her trauma from her bloodlust was the blood that coated some of her clothing. With her head still tilted back at him, her hair falling out of her face, she blinked at him. "I don't wanna dance no more though." she continued, pouting a little and inclining her head like an interested bird.

[Ryu-san]

Ryu scoffed at her words, then he used his speed to move closer, this time he shifted from using his angelic wind blade and decided to use wind release: Wind Blade which turns his brass knucks into trench knives, well technically, they're called trench katanas. Then Ryu slid one around from the back of Arin, positioning the blade at her throat.

He simply scolded "Now you akatsuki scum, you have two choices, fight me and die or simply just leave. Which will it be?" Of course Ryu would rather fight her and kill her but that was only because he wanted to avenge the people she killed in cold blood. Once Ryu had asked her such a question, he waited for her answer.

Time did have it's moments of making everyone feel as if it was taking forever and this was one of those times, but Ryu's benevolence granted him with enough patience, but it was wearing thin. And so he kept a close watch on the other two who were there and he stated "Now if you two are here to cause trouble, then kindly leave or die by my hands. Savvy?"
