Jasper looked at Felix over his shoulder as the guy asked where it was. Jasper had a pretty good idea what Felix was talking about, because he'd been looking for the same thing. A note. He merely rolled his eyes as Felix told him not to touch anything. "Sure," he said reluctantly. Riso was lucky that Jasper hadn't already destroyed his house. "I have an idea of how we can find a note," he said, pulling out his cell phone. He dialed Ichiya's number from memory and looked around without putting his ear to the phone. Not too far from where they were an annoying song started playing. Jasper started walking towards the sound. It was further in the house. The phone laid on a counter in what seemed to be the kitchen. It was extremely dark in the house, so the phone gave off enough light for Jasper to see it. He clicked his phone shut and went over to Ichiya's phone. Picking it up, he looked at it a moment before realizing that there had in fact been a note laying beneath it. Carefully Jasper picked it up and clicked open his phone for enough light to see it. Rogue Forest. 10:00. Bring Konny. Was all the note said. Without warning, the note turned to ice in his hand and shattered as Jasper clenched his hand into a fist. His eyes orange, Jasper turned on his heel and started towards the front door then out of it. "I'll kill him," was all he said.

Felix looked over his shoulder when Jasper said he had an idea. He turned completely when a song started playing in another room. Felix followed Jasper to a cellphone. The moment the not turned to ice in Jasper's hand he knew it was trouble. "Jasper, stop." Felix said. This guy was giving him more work than he wanted. "If you leave a trail, everyone will know we had something to do with this." He moved infront of Jasper. "He's not going to do anything until he had Konny back, calm down." Felix slowly stepped to the side. "Wait outside, I need to do something." Felix went back into the house, picking up every peice of ice that Jasper had left and put it into a small bag. Stepping out he wiped the door down on both ends. "Let's go, where'd you leave the woman?"

Jasper stopped with both hands clenched as Felix said stop. He looked at him over his shoulder as Felix explained that everyone would know they had something to do with it if they left a trail. He blinked and his eyes turned back to normal. He gave a sigh when Felix told him to wait outside. He had to admit, he probably could've done this on his own, but not without getting caught. He was a little glad Felix came along, because he knew he wouldn't be able to think straight when it came to Ichiya. When Felix asked where he left the woman he started walking. "Rogue forest," he said simply. Okay, maybe not his smartest idea, but he did say he hadn't killed the woman. A rogue probably would've ended up doing the job for him. He doubted that she'd be dead by now though. He'd left her in a spot where she'd only be spotted if she'd waken up and started walking around.

Felix's disbelief was clear on his face. "You left her, in the rogue forest? He who makes foolish decisions, suffer the consequences." Felix sighed and started towards the rogue forest in silence. Jasper was, irrational. When they got to the gate Felix told the guy that he was part of the search team for Konny. Technically speaking they were looking for her, but they already knew her location. Felix smirked. This might just work to his advantage, if he planned this right. Exiting the gate he looked at Jasper. "Lead the way."

Jasper said nothing as Felix asked in clear disbelief that he'd left her in the rogue forest. He wasn't in the mood for Felix's comments right then. The whole time they were walking towards the rogue forest, Jasper couldn't help but look at Ichiya's phone every now and then. You better not have hurt her, he thought angrily. He then looked at his watch. 9:38. It would take about ten minutes to get to the woman, then ten to get back and meet up with Riso. That would work out perfectly. After about ten minutes of walking, Jasper stopped and looked around. "She's right over here," he said finally, starting towards a tree. He'd put a genjutsu on her so that she wouldn't seen until she woke up. Which she still hadn't. Releasing the genjutsu, Jasper started walking towards where it was he remembered putting her.

Felix entered the rogue forest with nothing more than a small glance over his shoulder. The second Jasper said where Konny was, Felix's blood began to boil. He was still mad about her attacking Serenity. His fist clenched, and his eyes lowered he slowly followed after Jasper. Had the other ninja's sister not been in jeopardy Felix would have ended her then and there, no questions asked. He didn't mind killing in cold blood, after all, what did he have to lose?

(ooooh snap! someone else has a short-temper too! i wonder if he would've been so calm before if it'd been ser who'd been kidnapped)

Jasper didn't notice Felix's change in demeanor. When he saw the woman against the tree, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder without much care. As soon as he turned though, Jasper saw Felix's hands clenched. "Calm down," he told him as he walked past him. As soon as he got Ichiya back, Jasper was going to end Riso. He was having no doubts about it, and it wasn't even Boreas controlling him this time. Though he might let his other side have a little fun before ending Riso. It didn't take too long to get to the spot. Jasper looked around, but there was no one there. "We're early," he said bluntly, almost angrily.

(you already know the answer to that.)

Felix gave a small grin. "I am calm," he said. The expression on his face was dark, and very much dangerous. He trailed a few feet behind as they made their way to the spot. Once they arrived Felix moved to a high up branch and stood leaning against the tree. "I'm not too keen about letting Konny go," Felix said. "Not after what she did to Serenity." Felix grinned. "Once your sister is free, I'm going to permantly get rid of her, and it'll be as though she never existed."

(haha, yeps)

Jasper placed Konny down by the tree that Felix had gone onto and looked up at him as he said that he wasn't too keen on letting the woman go. He couldn't help but give a smirk. "You can get rid of her after I get my sister back. After all," he said almost quietly. "Her boyfriend isn't going to live much longer than she is," he said darkly, his eyes flashing orange. He looked around. "Where the hell is he?" he said angrily. (I'll post Riso into the thread next time I post)

Felix didn't care whether or not killing the two of them was wrong. It was what he wanted to do. Konny's story would be easy. She had went to rogue forest and gotten herself killed, Riso was a ninja, Felix would have to think of something worth the time. He couldn't say that Riso thought that they'd killed Konny so they had to kill him. Any ninja could have brought him in with just a few scratches. Felix shook his head. This was a tough one. Looking at Jasper as he asked were Riso and Ichiya were Felix shrugged. "Remember we're early," Felix said.

Jasper looked up at Felix as he said to remember that they were early. He already had a story for how Riso died. He'd have to be careful not to use too much ice though, because that was his trademark in the village, and certain techniques would give him away. The woman's story would be simple enough. She escaped the jail and took refuge in the Rogue Forest, but was caught up by some rogues. Riso had gone out to look for her, and in the process of trying to save her, was over taken by a group of rogues who'd killed Konny. Short and simple. Jasper and Felix's story would be that they came only moments too late, and the rogues had gotten away while they were trying to help keep their fellow ninja alive. Jasper's eyes flashed dangerously as he heard movement, then saw Riso walk out alone. "Where's my sister?" Jasper asked dangerously. Riso's expression was blank. "Where's Konny," he said, not seeing her sitting against the tree because Jasper had been standing in front of her. "You get the wench when I see that my sister is unharmed," he told him. Jasper never spoke in such a way. This one was Boreas. He'd unintentionally taken over without Jasper's say-so.

Felix looked on quietly until he saw movement. He didn't see Jasper's sister, which meant one of two things. She was dead, or probably off somewhere else. Felix stayed quiet as Riso asked for Konny. His eyes narrow. Listening for anything that was a sign. Rogues could easily abush them where they were. Wouldn't that be a load off their hands.

Riso didn't move as Jasper requested his sister. "Show me Konny first, I want to know she's okay," he told Jasper. Jasper's hands clenched tighter and he stepped to the side, out of in front of Konny. "Here, she's alive, now where's Ichiya?" Riso looked at Konny and started forward at a walking pace. Without even thinking, Jasper was in front of Riso in the blink of an eye, grabbing the collar of Riso's shirt. "Where is she?!" he nearly growled. Riso's eyes held nothing as he looked at his fellow ninja. "You should watch your temper. Or something might happen to your sister," he said and at the same instant, a shadow clone of Riso walked out of the trees, holding a kunai to an unconscious Ichiya's neck. Jasper dropped Riso, his eyes slightly wide on Ichiya. "What'd....you do to her.....?" he said almost quietly. Riso ignored the question. "Step aside Juuichi," he said. Jasper reluctantly stepped aside as Riso walked past, keeping his eyes on his sister.

Felix kept his moment of silence as everything unfolded. Riso was being awful cocky and Jasper seemed to have just lost his motive to fight. Felix narrowed his eyes. "She's not dead, why are you just sitting there?" He asked. "Do you want her to die? Answer me this Jasper Juuichi, how do you know that the girl before you if even your sister and not a clone?" Felix looked down at Riso, not bothering to speak to him.

Jasper looked up at Felix with an almost lazy gleam in his orange eyes and a grin on his face. "You underestimate me," he said. At that moment Riso's shadow clone disappeared only to be replaced by a shadow clone of Jasper. In the same instant, Jasper turned and aimed a kick at Riso's side right before he got to the woman, sending him into a tree a good five yards away. With the same grin, Boreas looked up at Felix. "The woman is all yours," he said with a small chuckle.

(hehe, Boreas is too cool)

Felix turned his head to the side. "Well, looks like I did," he said as Boreas took over. The fight scene seemed to go by a bit fast and Felix was a bit disappointed. He dropped down from the tree as he was told that Konny was all his. He was debating on whether or not he should make her suffer. "Decisions, Decisions, Decisions." He said shaking his head.

(ALLUSIONS)

The shadow clone of Jasper set down Ichiya and went about trying to wake her up. Boreas on the other hand, was only getting started with Riso. He'd started walking towards where the man had hit the tree. He was going to make him suffer and not regret one moment of it. But by the time Boreas got there, Riso had seen that Felix was standing over Konny. In an instant, Riso got up and punched Boreas in the stomach, and without even stopping continued on towards Felix, aiming a kick at him. "Get away from her!" he wouldn't stand for this. Had he known that Juuichi was going to be such a coward and bring a friend, he would've brought a couple friends as well. But it didn't matter, Riso wouldn't need help to finish these two off.

(this loser has no idea)

Felix turned as something was moving towards him. "Jasper can't handle you," he asked as he picked up Konny and used her as a shield to block Riso's kick. "You are very annoying, go play somewhere else," he told Riso. "I'll get to you when I'm done with her. He tossed Konny to the side like a rag doll. He had no sympathy for her in the least.

(nope, none at all)

Boreas nearly doubled over at the impact of the punch. The guy was fast, he'd give him that much. He looked towards where Riso had went only to see that he'd gone after Felix. He stood up straight and took out a kunai. Riso froze as soon as Felix had picked up Konny. "You bastard, put her down." His expression only grew angrier as he tossed Konny aside like some kind of kid who was sick of playing with a toy. His hands clenched, he went to start a jutsu before a kunai hit his arm and Boreas grabbed that same arm and pinned him to a tree with his arm against the guys neck. There was a dangerous gleam in his eyes. "You have no idea who's little sister you kidnapped, do you?" He chuckled. "I'm going to kill you. Slowly. And painfully. You might even die from the shock of it all before I even get finished with you," he said, his voice shaking with laughter every few words.. The thing about Boreas was that, not only was he a fighter, but he loved to hear the dying screams of his enemies. He was something of a psychopath. Boreas punched Riso right above the stomach with immense force, and at the same time a sickening snap was heard. Two actually. After he'd punched Riso once, Boreas dropped him, a little short of breath all of the sudden. He'd put a bit too much stress on the arm that Serenity had healed with that punch and since the bone was weak immediately fractured on contact. "Oops," he said with a breathless laugh.

(uh oh)

Felix looked at Riso with unworried eyes as the guy called him out of his name. But Felix was the least of the ninja's worries. Jasper was already on the guy before the jutsu could be complete. Leaving the two of them to their play he went and kicked Konny over. He was just toying with her for the time being. When he heard something snap he looked over his shoulder. "What was that?" He asked noticing that Jasper wasn't pounding on Riso or making anymore threats.

Boreas looked at Felix with a small grin as he asked what that was. "Well, I'm sure one half of it was his ribs, and the other half may've been my arm," he said with a breathless chuckle. The pain was excruciating, but he wasn't about to show it. He could still kill Riso even if he only had one arm. Just now he couldn't use any jutsu. "Anyway, go on with what you were doing. It's not much of a problem," he told Felix.

(just for the hell of it)

Serenity gave a sigh and leaned back on the couch. "I wonder if they found her yet," she said. She looked at Walker and Stephen. "I'm sure the two of them will be fine as far as finding her goes but....they don't exactly get along," she told them with a small smile. She was actually pretty at ease with the two of them there. She wasn't relaxed, because she was never relaxed, but at ease that Konny wouldn't dare come to the house.

(lol)

Felix shook his head as Boreas explained. "That's a bit sad," he said with a shrug. "Just don't get yourself killed. I've got enough babysitting to do," he said and turned back to Konny. He picked her up with a kunai in his hand. "Knives hurt, alot," he said. His said. A grin spread across his face. (like the one from that one picture.) "How about you relive Serenity's moment." He drew the kunai against her arm nice and slowly. Drawing that precious blood.


Walker was splayed out on the floor. His red hair a mess. He was starring at the ceiling. "Two minds are better than one," he reassured her. "Even if they don't see eye to eye." Stephen was sitting by the door, his legs crossed indian style. His brown hair covered with a towel as he dried out the rain. "Walker's correct. When two ninja come together to complete a common goal, diffrences are momentarily set aside."

Boreas looked at Felix as he said not to get killed. "Heh, Riso can already move less than I can. You don't have anything to worry about." He turned towards Riso with a grin, which faded a moment later when he found that Riso was up. Riso had taken their little conversation as an opportunity to get up and strike at the broken, or fractured or whatever, arm. He'd taken the kunai out of his own arm and stabbed it into the arm, the kneed Boreas in the stomach before following it up with an elbow to his back. The moment the kunai made contact with his arm, Boreas flinched severely, closing his eyes for a second. In that second he'd both lost his breath and fell to the ground. How the hell could Riso pull that off with a broken rib? Holding his stomach for a few moments, Boreas coughed up a bit of blood. "Lovely," he said sarcastically, pushing himself up with his good arm, coughing a little as he did so. Riso, as soon as Boreas was down, wasted no time in going after Felix, slashing at his back with a kunai. He had a habit of ignoring pain whenever he was in battle.

Serenity smiled as the two reassured her. She gave a small sigh. "I guess you're right. I don't know that much about ninja, do I?" she said with a small chuckle. "Can I get you boys anything?" she asked with a smile. Even if they were there to protect her, she was still a hostess. She wondered if Felix mentioned anything about her scratches. She certainly hoped he didn't.

Felix had just nearly finished Konny's relived moment when a kunai cut across his back. The kunai sort of swerved off to the side, cutting an artery. Felix dropped to the ground. "Oh he can move less than you can he?" He asked. His voice dripping with irritation. Felix hated persistant people. He didn't bother to check the damage on himself. He got up and aimed a punch at the left side of Riso's stomach.

Walker looked to Stephen when Serenity said she didn't know much about ninja. At the same time they said, "But you're living with one." They both gave a childish chuckle before settling back down. At Serenity's offer Walker sat up. "Felix said that you were hurt." Stephen nodded in agreement. "We're here at your disposal Miss Serenity, not the other way around."

When Boreas pushed himself up, he looked at Felix at his comment. Looked like Riso had gotten to him. Damn him, he thought in irritation. "Guess I underestimated the guy. But this ends now," he said, finishing darkly. Just because he enjoyed hearing his enemies screams didn't mean he couldn't kill quickly. Riso turned to Boreas as he got up after dodging Felix's punch, then aimed a punch at Boreas' bad arm. Boreas caught the punch with the good arm and twisted it, then kicked Riso towards a tree. Moving swiftly, Boreas kneed Riso in the stomach as he tried to move forward, then with his good hand pulled out a kunai and delved it into Riso's chest with a slight grin. Then, moving back, let Riso fall to the ground with a thud. Konny, having woken up when Felix had cut the kunai across her arm, had started crawling backwards with a terrified expression on her face when she saw her silver haired attacker going after Riso. There was nothing she could do to help, and Riso had always told her that in situations like this to stay back and let him handle it. When she saw the black haired man stab Riso with a kunai, tears started down her face and she got up and ran towards Riso, sliding to a halt on her knees next to him. "Riso!" was all she could get out in her terrified state.

Serenity gave a small laugh as the two boys said that she was living with one at the same time. "Yes, but come on, you know Felix, he tries to keep me as far away from anything ninja as possible," she said with a smile. The smile faded and she sighed as Walker said that Felix had told them she was hurt. "It's just a couple scratches," she told them. Her smile returned when Stephen called her miss Serenity. "Stephen, it's fine if you guys just call me Serenity," she told him.
