Wandering lost soul...

*Raku walked through the forest not wearing his mask but his Akatsuki robe and ring along with a combat jacket under it and sat under a tree with a sorrowful face and looked at the sky and reached for it as if he was trying to grasp the sky itself*

Žæl saw the man that helped him get control of Houkou. "Akatsuki!? Thats why he agreed...?" "No... I sense something different about him now." Houkou said. Žæl was surprised the beast was even talking to him after that.

(Even though that was months ago XP)

(XD)
*Raku looked at him and looked back to the sky and sighed*
"How about I forget I ever saw you five tail.. Save both of us the trouble.."

"What do you mean?" He asked still keeping some distance. Houkou kept telling him to just go over there and when he didn't called him derogatory names.

"If I saw you boy I would have to bring you in."

Žæl froze, but Houkou forced him to move behind a tree at least. When he came back under control he asked, "But you can talk to me right, if you don't see me?"

"That is partly true."
*He closed his eyes and rested his head against the trunk of the tree*

"Or maybe we could fight and say I got away?" He asked, not really wanting to fight this guy. "I just want more training with him..." He added.

"I cant handle 5 tails alone.. Plus my punishment would be severe"

"What about your-" He started before hearing the second part, "-partner?" He finished, and then added, "Is this the reason you trained me?"

"I trained you so you could handle him yourself and so he doesnt control you."

Žæl knew he was talking about Houkou. "He says your a bastard... I don't think so..."

"Heh well I'm helping you put the mut on a leash so I understand why he would say that..."

"I'm pretty sure he wants too, kill.. you...right now..." He said fighting Houkou back.

*He smiled and sighed*
"That's lovely.."

"You said... you...couldn't....handle him.... alone....." He said grabbing the tree in front of him scratching through the bark. (lol bark...) Houkou was testing him, and right now, he was losing...

*He looked over and sighed once more*
"Think about restraining him, clear your mind."

Houkou laughed hysterically in his head knowing he was on the verge of winning. 'No, I wont let you...' 'So you're protecting him now, I'm doing you a favor. He's just going to kill you anyway... 'Lies! I know your tricks...' Žæl told him gaining some ground. Just then Houkou flashed a graphic hallucination of the scene, and Žæl lost his concentration, the beast won.

*He turned hs head slowly knowing he lost then stood up and got ready for anything then drew hi sword*

Houkou launched himself at Raku with almost inhuman speed. Whipping his tail he launched a sonic boom strong enough to cut down several hundred trees in front of him.

*Raku ducked and barely dodged the boom. He felt the wind blow his hair furiously then got back up stretched his arm then dashed towards him preparing a diagnal slash*

Houkou wasn't progressing as quickly as he wanted, the boy was still fighting him, both of them... "Just give up..." he said in an extremely altered version of Žæl's voice. He spun a tornado that ripped branches from nearby trees toward Raku.

*He shadowstepped and shoved the blade in his shoulder hard*
"Sorry Zael.."

(If you want to know, hold "alt" then 0142, release, 0230, release.)

Houkou wailed demonically as the blade sunk in. He turned and batted Raku away leaving the sword stuck in his back. Houkou tried to get the second tail out but Žæl held him off until he stunned him again. The second tail began to emerge, and Žæl became more doglike with each passing second.

"I have to hurry.."
*He made two hand seals and purple fire came on his finertips*
"Five prong seal.."
*He made a mad dash towards him trying to make contact with Zael*
