(Even though technically this isn't a Ninja Mission)

Serenity walked down the path with one of the ninja's from the Crested next to her. Since this wasn't a particularly dangerous mission, Serenity had only chosen a Chuunin to go with her, but she made sure that it was a talented Chuunin. She didn't want a useless ninja going with her. She was journeying to the Valley of Gears today to find what she considered a great treasure. She hadn't told Felix about it, and actually, something she hadn't thought about, Felix might've been home from his mission already. She hoped he wouldn't come looking for her. She'd told him that she was going to the Stealth Valley, but knowing him, he probably would just wait at her house until she came back. At least, that was what she hoped. As they walked, Serenity could've sworn she felt a chakra presence and she swallowed, but didn't stop walking, hoping that it was just a passerby. She gave a glance to her ninja, hoping that he felt the same thing she did. The chakra didn't fell friendly at all.

The ninja walked next to Serenity. He was there to guard her, but he didn't think anyone was going to attack. Maybe just a few bandits to try and get some money but other than that, there was nothing. Then he felt a chakra presence. He put his hands behind his head and gave a sigh. If whoever it was tried to attack he'd put them in their places.

Serenity knew that the ninja knew someone else was there when he put his arms behind his head and sighed. She hoped that whoever it was didn't decide to attack them. Because out of all the Mizuraki in history, Serenity had no power she was born to. She'd be no help in this situation. Her hopes were crushed as she heard a branch snap then ninja stars coming towards the two of them. (That was fast, huh?) Serenity nearly fell backwards as one of them flew inches in front of her face. Perhaps she should've asked Felix to teach her how to fight, at least a little. But then again, he would've most likely laughed her off. Serenity's eyes widened as she felt two more chakra presences approaching, making three threats in all and only one useful fighter on her side. Perhaps she was just some kind of magnet for hostile people.

The Chuunin lookws up at the stars came flying down. He quickly moved out the way and sent six shuriken into the trees. He then looked at sSerenity. "Stay back," he said. "Get behind a tree or something." He then rolled to the side and threw kunai to the two chakra presences. Piano strings attached.

(We should give our Chuunin a shortlived name. He's gonna die after he takes out the first two ninja anyways XD)

Serenity looked at the Chuunin as he told her to stay back and get behind a tree. She didn't need to be told twice. She ran behind a tree on the side of the path opposite the hostiles (great, now i'm speaking in army terms.....). The ninja (Red, Blue, and Green shall be their names) dodged most of the kunai, Red getting hit with one. Blue, a more skilled ninja, took out his own kunai and blocked a few. Green simply dodged all that came his way. Blue decided to go high up in the trees and throw several more shurikens at the Chuunin.

(lmao)

Alex wasn't sure if his attacks hit, but he wouldn't take his chances. "Ninja Art: Wing of the Pheonix." Two phoenix wings formed on the piano strings and headed in the diection the kunai had been thrown. Alex then fell as two shuriken hit him. But he ed his ground. Getting back up he sent kunai in he direction the weapons had come from.

(I think I'll let Green live.......not too sure yet, lol)

Serenity kept her back against the tree in the hopes that the ninja would forget all about her. She didn't dare peek from behind the tree. What was it with her and attracting rogues? Blue fell out of the tree as the kunais hit him. For a few moments he sat there dazed, because he'd hit his head slightly in the fall (opportunity #1?). Red's eyes widened slightly as he saw the Pheonix wings appear on the string behind the kunai. He hadn't even known there was string on it! Red jumped to the side to avoid the one, which seemed to be coming after him. Green however, wasn't at all impressed with this little technique. He was the leader of the three and feared nothing. As the Pheonix came closer, he started a jutsu. "Wind Style: Slicing Wind!" he said and a sharp wind blew in the direction of the pheonix wings, ripping them to shreds.

(lol)

Alex saw Blue down and went for the kill. Throwng a wave of ninja tools in his direction he looked to see his jutsu wiped out. So this guy had skills huh. Alex had kills too. He jumped up into the trees and landed on a branch. He had no idea where Red was, but he had Green in his lineof sight. Chew on this. "Fire Style: PheonixFlower Jutsu!"

(This Chuunin is very confident.)

Green only gave a passing glance as he saw Blue get killed. Anyone who died that quickly did not deserve to live, let alone call themselves ninja. As Green saw Alex throw another jutsu at him, he started the same one as he did before. Only this time he'd add a twist. "Wind Style: Slicing Wind Jutsu!" The same wind as before blew and blew the fireballs out like candles. But during that little trick, Green threw an array of weapons towards Alex, their speed increased 5x by the wind. Red, still not rid of the Pheonix winged kunai, decided to try cutting the piano string with one of his own kunai. The kunai was too close for comfort, and if this didn't work chances were he was a goner.

(All Chuunin are)

Alex gave a gasp when he saw all the weapons. He went to move when a kunai got him in the leg. He dropped down to one leg. "Can't die here yet," he said. He had to protect Serenity. Looking for Red he saw him. Green would have to wait since he seemed awfully strong. Pulling a kunai he threw it directly at the guy. He then dragged himself behind a tree. "Three, two, one." He got upand ran across the clearing. "Ninja Art: Water Dart." Darts of water shot at Green.

(Yeah, just look at Nyx, HA, Prime example rite there!)

Red was so busy trying to get rid of the Pheonix kunai that he didn't even realize that another weapon was flying straight for him. The kunai hit him directly in the throat and he, after a few seconds, fell to the ground. Green smirked when he saw one of his weapons hit. He could care less for Blue and Red, having died so easily, they meant nothing to him anymore. As Green scanned the field, he saw Alex run behind a tree. A few seconds later darts were shooting at him from what seemed like nowhere. Regardless of how it looked, Green dropped flat to the ground in order to avoid them. He kenw that the boy ninja couldn't move very fast, so he could do it easily. Swiftly Green rose back to his feet, pulling out a scroll and swiping his blood across it after biting his finger. Putting the scroll on the ground, Green jumped back. "Ninja Art Summoning: Tornado of Destruction," he said and a giant tornado formed from the scroll, moving swiftly towards the young ninja. Green swiftly threw an array of weapons at the tornado, allowing them to be swept up in the cylone.

Alex was thankful that Red was down. He didn't think he was going to make it out alive. He gave a sigh and then blinked in surprise when he saw the tornado. He didn't have time to run. "SERENITY RUN!" He screamed as he as taken into the tornado. He didn't want to die like this, but he knew he woudln't be ale to make it out alive. He'd just buy her some time. "Earth Style: Killer Cave." A dome came over Green and started to enclose him. Alex then blocked himself as the weapons started to hit him. He was then killed.

(I love that. He was then killed. Hahaha, that's funny)

Serenity's eyes widened as she heard Alex yell for her to run. He couldn'tve died, could he? Serenity peeked around the tree, only to see Alex enclosed in a tornado. Her eyes widened and she made a break for it, heading in the direction of the Gear Valley, but staying in the forest as much as she could to avoid the rogue seeing her. It didn't work for too long.

Green grinned as his jutsu caught the runt. It faded though as an earth dome started forming over him. He gave a smirk though and started a jutsu. He hadn't forgotten about the woman. He was betting she'd fetch a pretty penny if the Crested found out she'd been kidnapped. And from what he saw, the little lady was defenseless. "Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu," he said, disappearing underground just as the cave started getting to crushing size. He reappeared out of the ground not too far from where he heard Serenity's footsteps. He then proceeded to pin her to the nearest tree. Pulling out a kunai, Green put it to her throat with a grin. "Now, you can get out of this two ways, dead or alive. You struggle and try to make a scene, you're as good as dead. You cooperate and you live. Not to say you'll make it out of this unscathed of course," he said with a grin.

Serenity near screamed as the man pinned her to the tree and swallowed when he said that he'd try to kill her if she tried to escape or make a scene. She was getting so sick of this! Getting constantly attacked by rogues or bandits. But she was sure this guy wasn't fooling around. He also didn't know she was immortal though. Serenity's hand clenched into a fist. "Screw you," she said. She wouldn't let this man get in the way of what she was trying to do. She was terrified of the pain that awaited her, true, but she had to get her mission done.

Green smirked. "If that's the way you want it." He wouldn't let some woman bad mouth him and get away with it. Spinning the kunai on his finger once, he went to aim it towards her heart.

Serenity's eyes widened as Green pulled the kunai back. She then closed them tightly. Before she even knew it, the pressure the man had been putting on her was gone and she heard a crash. When she opened her eyes again, the man was sitting against the tree looking dazed and Serenity had no clue what'd happened. Without a second thought, Serenity made a break for it again.

Green didn't see it coming when some invisible force sent him flying backwards. He sat dazed for a few seconds, then looked up to see her running again. He quickly got up and threw shuriken at the area around her with piano string attached. He then pulled them so that they wrapped around Serenity. Holding the strings as he walked, he saw that Serenity hadn't fallen, but she sure as hell couldn't move. The piano strings were cutting deeply into her arms and sides. As he got closer to her, his eyes narrowed. "You don't know what you just got yourself into little lady," he said pulling another kunai out. "I don't know what you did back there, but it pissed me off. And when someone pisses me off, they end up dead."

(nice post)

Felix was in the trees on his way away from the Valley of Tears. He'd just finished with his mission and was heading back to the Crested. When he got there to Serenity's house no one was home. She must have gone to the Valleys already. He wouldn't stay in her house while she was out. Heading out the village he headed for the Stealth. He'd check there since she seemed very interested there. But something stopped him. He turned towards the forest. Something wasn't right. Felix walked towards the forest casually until he noticed that everything was messed up. Then he saw Green and Serenity. "You are hopeless," he said as he walked up to the two of them. He looked at Green. "You weren't planning on killing her were you?" He gave a grin. "You wouldn't get very far." Felix moved in a flash and hit the guy in the throat with the back of his hand. He then snipped Serenity's ropes. "Stay out the way," he said without looking at her.

(Thanks, it killed me to do that too XD)(FELIX TO THE RESCUE.........again)

Serenity froze as she felt wires wrap around her. She felt them slowly cutting into her skin. Then she heard the man say that she'd ended up pissing him off. She swallowed. She was stupid to think she could've got away unscathed. Then she heard the one voice she hadn't expected to show up. As the wires were cut, they fell to the ground and Serenity stood there for a few seconds, shaking slightly as Felix told her to stay out of the way. She could've sworn those wires almost cut straight through to her bone. Blood was practically covering her arms entirely. Serenity walked shakily over to a tree and leaned against it, sliding into a sitting position. She'd been alive a long time and she didn't think she'd ever been in that much pain. Her hand started glowing green and she put it on her side where one of the wires had cut into.

Green didn't expect for there to be another ninja around. When Felix told him he wouldn't get very far when it came to killing her, he started to say something, but was stopped when the new ninja appeared in front of him and hit him in the throat. Green stumbled backwards and for a few seconds could barely breath. How was this guy so fast? After he caught his breath again, Green took out a kunai and attempted to slash Felix with it, following it up with a kick to Felix's side.

Felix never took his eyes off of Green, even after the guy had stumbled back. Felix liked to fight, it was what he did best. Hopefully this guy would provide some kind of challenge. As Green slashed the kunai at him he backed up against the tree and then dunked under the guy's leg. He came up and landed two punches in the guy's gut. "I'm quick as silver, hope you can keep up, if not you won't last five minutes." Felix's icy blue eyes shone with deadly intent.

Green couldn't believe how fast his opponent was. He'd have to use a different strategy to win. But first he'd have to get some distance between him and Felix. Green nearly doubled over when Felix's punches made contact. The guy wasn't only fast, but he was strong too. Green stumbled back again, his breath caught in his throat. Quickly doing a jutsu, Green disappeared in a wind and reappeared a ways away from Felix, then started another jutsu. Using the same wind technique he did on the boy ninja, Green threw an array of weapons at Felix, the wind speeding them up again.

Felix was disappointed. Green wasn't even worth fighting at this point. As the guy disappeared Felix immediatly began to search for him. When the win came up Felix moved into th trees. The weapons impaling the tree below him. "Your decisions will effect how long or short your life will be," he said. "You can leave, or be caught in a storm that will be impossible to escape," he said. Felix grinned. "What's it going to be?"

Green couldn't believe that his attack missed. His hand clenched into a fist when Felix told him that he could either leave or die. He wouldn't back down like some kind of coward. He'd die fighting before he gave up. Pulling out five shuriken, he came out of the trees and quickly threw them at Felix, starting a jutsu. "Ninja Art: Dancing Shuriken!" Each of the shuriken multiplied by three and kept heading towards Felix.

Felix kept on grinning. When the guy did his jutsu Felix pulled a kunai and blocked most of them. But two caught him in the side and another in the shoulder. Felix pulled them out and tossed them to the side. He the disappeared behind the guy and aimed a punch at the guy's kidney. But he wasn't done just yet. He moved infront of the guy and used the kunai in his there hand to slash it across the guy's face.

Green couldn't believe his eyes. What was this man? He quickly looked around when Felix disappeared and nearly collapsed when he felt a punch aimed at his kidney. All he saw next was red as blood seeped into his right eye as Felix cut across his face. Holding back a scream, Green aimed a near blind punch at where he thought Felix was. He couldn't lose so easily without making this guy at least flinch.

Felix flipped his kunai and went to finish the guy when Green aimed a blind punch at him. Unforunately it hit his wounded shoulder. Felix stepped back. Immortal or not pain was still real. "You've lasted over five minutes," he said. "Now it's game over." Felix was done fighting this guy. He hadn't come to fight in the first place, he just noticed something was wrong and then all this had happened. Oh well.He spun the kunai and put it to the guy's throat. "You give in yet?"

(lol, It's over five MINUUUUTTTEEESSS)

Serenity wasn't paying much attention to the fight. She'd just been trying to heal her wounds as quickly as she could so that the pain would stop. Unfortunately, she hadn't even gotten done with her side because the wounds were so deep. She probably would've been dead by now from loss of blood had she not been immortal.

Green felt his punch hit, but a moment later felt the cold of steel against his throat. As he heard Felix ask if he gave in yet, Green stood still, but looked at Felix. "Not on your life," he said. He didn't dare move just yet, because the kunai would slit his throat like a knife through butter. If Felix made a move to pull the kunai back, then Green would take his chance. (just kill him, he's annoying me)

(lmao!)

Felix's grinned widdened slightly at the guy's words. It gave him even more reason to kill him. Turning around Felix planted the kunai in the guy's chest and then kicked him off the branch. He then jumped down and walked over to Serenity. She had some pretty bad wounds, but she could handle herself. Leaving her to her business he went over to the Chuunin who'd been killed earlier. Felix picked him up and swun him over his shoulder and went back over to Serenity. He laid the Chuunin down and then he leaned against the tree.

(Since we already know Green is dead, I';m skipping over his dialogue)

Serenity didn't look up as she heard who she assumed to be Green fall to the ground. She'd finished healing her side to the best of her ability at the moment and moved onto her other side. Her arms would have to wait until later, because when she glanced up at Felix, she saw that he was wounded. She saw him take the Chuunin and lay him down. After she'd finished on her side, she slowly got up and went over to Felix, putting her hand on his first wound without a word. It killed her to move her arms as much as she had to, but she tried not to flinch when she did. She had to take care of Felix's wounds first.
