When it rains it pours (NK/io)

Maku sighs, why didn't this girl just go quietly. He was also incredibly impressed she was able to dodge Youka's attack. Resigning himself, he would have to remember to be diplomatic next time to avoid situations like this. Drawing his blade, Maku made a small cut and performed the hand signs to summon the Bafukani. The blind crab appeared in a puff of smoke as Maku placed his hand on his head. Immediately it latched on and started to infuse him with chakra. Feeling the speed boost, he chased after her at a speed of 120, watching for any attacks ready to dodge.

One he caught up to her, he would aim a punch at the back part of her thigh, he would hit her leg with a strength of 50 attempting to fracture her femur. Not bad enough to put her life in any danger but enough to end her escape attempts

Youka laughed quietly to himself as she dodged the attack she was indeed a spry little girl, she might have made a wonderful ninja should she have honed her skills some more. The chain wrapped around his wrist. It didn't do anything besides hang there before the child spoke. There was no reason to answer her he just had to catch her. It seemed as though Maku wasn't up for a game of tag as he tried to shatter the childs femur. Youka would casually follow behind to see what would happen if she were to dodge again he would take action but for now the hunt was fun.

"Don't hit her too hard now Kani" he would say over the curse mark. "Lets have fun with this she obviously can't get away from us" he would say noticing the slow speed she was running at.

When she saw him she dodged again stepping outwards and wrapping her chains around his arm attempting to use t to flip the boy out of the tree. He was kind of cute. She smiled looking at him. WAIT, hewas trying to catch her. Oh well, I guess she can say she actually had a boy chasing after her. She jumped down from the tree this time darting into some dense brush and stopping to breathe.
At least now, she can put to use some of the stuff Arashi had taught her.

Damn this girl was agile, Maku liked that in a lady, he smiled as she leaped away yet again. Suddenly chains sprung forth and grabbed his arms. Maku felt a small tug as if she was trying to flip him. Instead, Maku grabbed hold of the chain and pulled with all his strength.

If this went as planned she would be pulled into his arms in an embrace. Maku's eyes would lock onto hers as she hit his chest, when an odd thing happened. Not only did his summon disappear, but his transformation technique also dispersed. For the first time in over a month he was standing in his true form, an 11 year old boy roughly the same hieght as Tori with dirty blonde hair ending just before his violet eyes. He was momentarily stunned, it would be up to Youka to make the next move.

So this was Maku's actual appearance as a puff of white smoke gave way to a young boy with blonde hair. He must have lost concentration chasing after the girl, maybe his heart was playing sway here he after all did look to be around the same age.

Were they hugging, it sure looked like Maku was enjoying this a little too much. "Hey Maku is she cute", Youka would jibe at the young boy. "Maybe you should get her number, or kiss her huh" Youka was now just walking underneath them observing the situation. He was having fun making fun of the boy at the same time which he would make sure to never let him live down. "Well when you're done with the date I'll be around" With that Youka would jump up into the trees out of both their site but stay close enough to keep an eye on them. "Oh yea one more thing girls like hearing they are pretty" he would say from an unknown location.

Tori gasped staring at him. He was so cute, and he was her age. Tori smiled and was so mesmerized by his eyes she leaned in and kissed his lips. She could hear Youkas words but kind of didn't listen. She was to into what she was seeing!
"I will go willingly." She said as she pulled out of the kiss still hugging him in an embrace. She pulled away and held out her hands willingly "I wont fight it anymore."

Maku was more than a little taken aback. His last several trainings had been all about burying his emotional responses, from training alone to being forced to kill his uncle. But now he felt emotions once again rearing up, pushing away the logic that he tried so hard to rely on. The kiss came fast, and was so unexpected he didn't even have time to close his eyes.

Once the female pulled back he did the only thing he could think of. He took his hand and pushed her hair behind her left ear, and spoke after her. "You can call me Kani, and right this way my lady." With that he would lead her back to Iwagakure where he was currently residing as a mercenary.

Today had been a strange day he decided. Mere moments ago he had planned on killing her and selling her dead body. Now he felt all strange inside and he was walking hand in hand with her. He would lead her out of the boarders and back to Iwagakure.

He completely forgot about youka and left him behind unless he did something to interrupt them.

/ exit with Tori

"Well.....hmm...ok that works" Youka would say slightly weirded out by the whole thing. He hadn't actually thought Maku would and the female would just walk back. He had just after all tried to kill her. Oh well what's done is done. They had the girl and that's all that mattered, apparently Maku knew where he was taking her as well. Good on him Youka would think to himself. "I guess I'll go check our surroundings to ensure we weren't followed.

(Exit)
