(lmao, she just watches. time to get her involved)

Kyzer grinned as Kinaga mentioned that he had family here. "Hm? Family? You have some kind of lover here Kinny?" he chuckled. "No, no, that's right, I heard your beloved died before you did. How sad. You said her, perhaps a daughter?" Kinaga said nothing, and Kyzer grinned wider. "Perhaps before we start this little ordeal, we should get rid of our audience!" he said, whipping a kunai in Adre's direction. Kinaga was well aware that she'd followed him, and he didn't really care, but now he was going after the woman. Pulling out a kunai of his own, he threw it at Kyzer.

Jaymaru didn't have time to be shocked over Kinaga and his daughter for she had to save her hide by pulling out a kunai and throwing it at the other to cancel it out. Had she moved any faster, she'd been immediatly signified as a former stealth ninja, but she couldn't help it because she was just fast. Standing up she looked at the guy as KInaga threw a kunai at him. No point in staying back. She hurried up to the fight and stood next to Kinaga. "Sorry for following, but the way you left out...it left me with an uneasy feeling that something was wrong."

Kinaga looked at Adre with a small smile as she explained why she'd followed him. "I figured that was why you'd followed me. Don't worry about it, but as a ninja, you should probably know better than to go into a situation you know nothing about," he said, not trying to lecture her or anything. Kyzer had moved to the side to avoid the kunai with a grin. So Kinaga was a fighter afterall, even though when he was a child, he was a peaceful little kid. Using the wind behind him as a speed booster, Kyzer ran at Kinaga and punched him in the stomach. Kinaga doubled over, his breath stuck in his throat from the sudden impact. Kyzer then aimed a roundhouse kick at Adre.

Jaymaru gave a huff. "You're one to talk," she said loud enough for him to hear. She was going to play her part well, even if he was a former friend. When Kyzer came and attack she stepped back. Kinaga could handle himself, or atleast she thought, seeing as though he was now doubled over from the punch. He must have been out of shape or something. She didn't have time to ponder over it because Kyzer was aiming a roundhouse kick at her. If she dunked he'd probably drop his leg on her back, and maybe break her spine in the process, not something she wanted. And moving from either side he could reverse the kick. And backing up was a good choice, but going forward was even better. Pulling out a kunai she went towards him. Aiming the kunai right at his chest.

(lol, out of shape)

After Adre had come at him, Kyzer caught her wrist and brought the leg that was kicking underneath her feet while still standing, in an attempt to slam her on the ground. After Kinaga had regained himself, he looked at Adre only to see her going at Kyzer with a kunai. Kinaga hadn't expected a battle today so he didn't have his swords with him. But summoning them was easy enough. Pulling out a scroll, Kinaga bit his finger and swiped blood across it, laid it on the ground, then did a jutsu, his twin blades appearing crossed on the scroll in a puff of smoke. Kinaga quickly picked them up and slashed them at Kyzer's back.

Jay fell to the ground. Maybe going forward wasn't all that smart. If this guy could take two of them on at the same time, only God knew how many more he could take on without breaking a sweat. As she saw Kinaga summon his blades she rolled to the side and stood up right before Kinaga aimed his blow at Kyzer. She'd have to be careful of her jutsu's, but she had some that would keep her secret. But if it came to life or death, she'd forget the secret and go all out. Pulling out two senbon she aimed them at Kyzer. She needed to know how he did in close up and far away combat.

Kyzer knew that he probably wouldn't be able to deal with both of them attacking him at the same time for too much longer. already it was becoming troublesome, because he didn't realize that Kinaga had summoned blades, so when he turned to face Kinaga, he had to jump backwards, and nearly fell backwards, but turned it into something of a backflip by pushing himself back onto his feet with one of his hands. As the woman threw the senbon, Kyzer quickly did a jutsu and him and Kinaga switched places, the senbon hitting Kinaga's shoulder. Kinaga cringed slightly. A human replacement jutsu....? Kinaga thought, before throwing another kunai with an exploding tag at Kyzer. This one hit, sending the ninja flying backwards as the kunai exploded.

Yeah, so hitting Kinaga didn't exactly make her go all panicky, but Kyzer's techniques were good. This was was well trained. She sighed. I should have stayed home. Stepping up next to Kinaga she looked at Kyzer as he flew backwards. "Sorry," was all she'd say before pulling out a scroll. She opened ot halfway. "Any ideas on how to stop him, he's kind of strong."

(Did you see Kyzer's picture? Click on his name in the first sentence)

Kinaga only shook his head as she apologized. "Not your fault," he said plainly. This guy was good. This might've ended up being a problem. Kinaga had only encountered someone who could take on two people at once one time before. As Adre asked if he had any idea on how to stop the guy, Kinaga only shrugged. "Find out his element. He's a part of a near extinct clan called the Mizuraki. Each member has their own element that they're born too. We don't know his. That may be the only way to beat him," he said, keeping his eyes on the spot where the kunai had hit Kyzer. The rain seemed to lighten slightly, but it still poured. When the smoke cleared, Kyzer wasn't there. Only a second later Kinaga heard a footstep over the sound of the rain and wind. Quickly, he turned with his sword in hand, meeting Kyzer's shoulder as the guy had tried to aim a kunai at the back of Kinaga's heart. "Gotcha," he said with a smirk. Kyzer's eyes widened. "H-how....?" he wasn't able to finish before Kinaga kicked the guy back. Even if Kinaga hadn't been an ANBU in a while, he was still a great fighter.

(look at him thinking he's all cool.)

Jaymaru gave a small nod. She wanted to tell Kinaga she knew all this stuff already but let him finish. She couldn't figure Kyzer out. His skills were by far some of the best she'd ever seen. Looking at Kinaga as he turned she did to. Kyzer was one sly ninja. The guy had tried to attack from behind, but she guessed Kinaga still had it. The moment Kyzer got kicked back Jaymaru started her jutsu. Ninja Art: Rain Dance. She spun the scroll twice and then passed her hand along the words written on it. With each word she passed she picked up a weapon. When no more words were left on the scroll she waited a moment. She had to do this just right, people rarely fell for the same jutsu twice. When she felt it was time she did a hand sign and the weapons appeared over Kyzer. She moved her hand down and the wepons struck down on him.

(lol, well, he is kinda cool)

Kinaga watched as Kyzer hit the tree. He flicked his blade once to get rid of the blood on it. He watched as Adre did her jutsu, and as the blades surrounded Kyzer. For some reason, Kinaga had the urge to stop the attack. This man was one of the only of his clan left. But then again.....he was the type of person who'd run the Mizuraki into trying to take over. Kinaga didn't want that happening again. So he let the attack go, and looked off to the side, his eyes narrow as the attack hit. Kinaga forgot completely about his groceries. He looked at Kyzer as he sat against the tree, every type of weapon stuck in him. But still the guy wasn't dead. Kinaga walked over to him and knelt down in front of him on one knee. "You should've known better," he said almost sadly. "The rest of the Mizuraki clan had to be eliminated because of the way you were thinking." Kyzer coughed slightly. "Heh, it's in our blood to think that way," he said weakly, his eyes half closed. The guy was going to die within minutes with the amount of blood he was losing.

Jaymaru looked at Kinaga. She was a bit disappointed that he'd turned away during the attack. This man had just tried to kill him. He was quite the softie, but who was she to talk, she was the same. Sighing she waited till Kinaga had went over to Kyzer and began to speak with him. "I...I can save him if you want," she said quietly. She wouldn't usually do this, but that was okay.

Kinaga only looked at Kyzer as he said it was in their blood. "No it's not. You didn't have to turn out like this." He sighed as Adre said that she could save him. "You need something to fight for. Are you in a village Kyzer?" he asked. Kyzer weakly shook his head. "Something to fight for, huh...? Something so simple won't hold my interest for long," he said with a small laugh, his eyes still half closed. Kinaga stood up and looked at Adre. "If you can save him, then please do it," he said. Sure the guy'd tried to kill him, but the guy was family, and the way Kinaga saw it, all the guy needed was something to fight for besides power. The guy now had family that he knew of. Kinaga would be glad to try and convince the new kage that Kyzer would be a good ninja for the Crested. After all, someone as skilled as Kyzer should become a ninja for a village if nothing else.

Jaymaru nodded and walked over to him. She kneeled before Kyzer. "Stay still and shut up," she said. When Jaymaru went into medic mode she was kind of like a Tsunade. Carefully she started to remove the blades. When she'd finished she pressed her hand against each wound. If this guy started to scream like a baby she'd probably slap him. Her hands began to glow green and she made sure to run over each wound, letting it heal. She wiped her forehead. She was sweating despite the rain. Setting back she got some banadages from her side pouch. She carefully removed Kyzer's shirt and began to wrap him up. She loved being a medical ninja, to have to concentrate on your patient like this took so much skill and focus. She loved a challenge.

Kinaga watched as Adre healed Kyzer. Kyzer didn't say a word or make a sound. He didn't know why they were doing this. He'd just tried to kill the both of them. Kinaga watched Adre silently. She reminded her of someone....but he couldn't remember just who it was. Kinaga attached his twin blades onto their sheaths on his back. After she'd finished healing Kyzer, Kinaga looked at her and walked next to her. "Thank you," he said over the rain, which had started slowing. A break in the clouds was visible not too far off, but the wind had stopped, which meant that it probably wouldn't be to the Crested for a while. Kyzer still said nothing as the woman took his shirt off and bandaged him. He hadn't asked to be healed. He didn't want to be in anyone's debt. Especially that of someone he'd just tried to killed. So he said nothing.

Jaymaru looked up at Kinaga. "No problem," she said and handed Kyzer his shirt. Since he wouldn't say thank you, she figured he could put it back on himself. She stood up and gave the guy one last look before turning away. She had nothing to say. She was too busy feeling a bit anxious. For what she didn't know.

Kyzer took his shirt without hesitation when the woman gave it to him. Slowly he put it on, trying not to flinch. Dammit, he thought in irritation. Kyzer put one hand on the tree and with his chakra made sure it stuck as he dragged himself up and leaned on the tree in silence. Kinaga looked at Kyzer as he got up. Suddenly Kinaga's mark started pulsing again, more uncomfortably than before. "Kyzer, there's a hospital in the Crested. You should stay there for a while. Can you make it there by yourself?" Kyzer only looked at Kinaga with a laugh. "Injured or not, I'm no invalid Kinny," he said, before forcing himself to stand up straight and start walking towards the gates. After a moment he stopped without turning. "Hey woman. Thanks," he said casually, then started walking again. Kinaga sighed and looked at Adre. "I really appreciate what you did....I mean after what happened with him and everything."

Jaymaru stayed turned the other way. She then looked over her should as Kyzer thanked her. "Whatever," she said. She then shrugged as Kinaga thanked her. "Don't thank me," she told him. "I wasn't asked, I offered." She then faced him. "If anyone should be thanked it's you, don't ask why, explaining would be too complicated."

Kinaga looked at Kyzer as he thanked Adre. Kyzer kinda struck Kinaga as a little bit sexist. Oh well. He turned to look at Adre after Kyzer stalked off. When she said that he was the one who should be thanked, he went to ask what she meant, but then she told him not to ask. He didn't really understand. He cringed slightly as the mark had started becoming painful rather than simply uncomfortable. "We should get out of the rain," he said simply. He wanted to get home and see what was wrong. The pulsing had stopped after he'd left the store, but for some reason had started up again.

(dun dun dunnn)

Jaymaru nodded in agreement. This rain was making her feel a bit sick, but she had to play it off because she was from the rain village, supposably. Walking back towards the village she wondered why Kinaga had cringed a second ago. She though she knew what it was, but she'd rather it not be true, because if so, she might have been in danger.

(When I saw tht I almost lol'ed in study hall. Good job Jay. Make me make a fool of myself. hahaha)

Kinaga started walking towards the gates with a sigh as he realized something. He had no idea where his groceries had went to after he started fighting. "Great, now I'm gonna have to go out again tomorrow," he said with a small smile, figuring that after a moments thought Adre would understand. But then again, if it would be storming again tomorrow, Kinaga really wouldn't mind going out again. As they made it to the gates, one of the guards of the watch tower on either side looked down to him. "Who was the man that just came through?" he asked Kinaga. "Don't worry too much about him, he just needed to go to the hospital," he said, and the guard asked no further questions. He'd heard about Kinaga and decided to trust him on this one, not wanting to give the guy trouble during the storm. When they got to the point where they'd met at the first time, Kinaga stopped and turned to her. "Thanks for helping. It was nice to meet you Ms. Firestone," he said with a smile, holding his hand out to her in a handshake. Kinaga tried not to cringe again as his mark started pulsing strongly. What the hell is with this thing?

(heh, srry)

Jay followed after Kinaga with a smile upon her face as he said he'd have to go out again tomorrow. She on the other hand would be going nowhere. She refused. As they came up to the guards she waited till the two finished and then moved on. Stopping when Kinaga did. "It was an honor to fight alongside the Storm Ninja," she said and shook his hand. "I hope we can meet again one day," she said and waved goodbye.

Kinaga smiled and shook his head as she said that it was an honor to fight along side the storm ninja. "No, it was an honor for me to be able to fight next to a ninja of the Rain Village once more," he said with a smile. "I have a feeling we will," he said when she said that she hoped theyed meet again one day. Kinaga turned and started back towards his house.
