Entering Iwagakure

[Mokoto Sasaki]

Mokoto began slashing out, striking forwardly at Kekeya. He was bobbing and weaving out of the blades' way. They were moving surprisingly fast, blurring slightly. Mokoto began spinning like a top and moving towards Kekeya, but he ducked and sweep kicked at Mokoto's feet. She jumped and swung her wrist downward and barely knicked Kekeya's cheek. She took a few steps back as Kekeya grabbed his face and screamed in pain. It sounded as though he was in agony, like he was being ripped apart, but his cheek had barely been grazed. What had happened? Was it poison?

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya was on his knees, panting from the pain. That sting. He had almost forgotten how painful Mokoto's powers were. Kekeya stood and pointed his sword at Mokoto. She was faster. She was stronger. She had definitely improved. Kekeya was uncertain if he could keep up. He grabbed his sword and broke it. The dawn began to take form. Mokoto had seen it before. Kekeya swung the large scythe into the ground, firing his Darkshot at her.

[Mokoto Sasaki]

Mokoto remembered that technique. Kekeya's ace-in-the-hole. His Darkshot. It was why he had an edge on her for so long, for his developed early. Mokoto wouldn't let such a thing demote her. She trained tirelessly to develop a good counter-measure. And now she had one. She began building up a violet-red chakra in her hand until it took the form of a ball. Then she fired it like a laser. It collided with Kekeya's Darkshot and caused a small explosion. Kekeya stood at the other end with a surprised look on his face. Mokoto let out a chuckle. "You think I'm lettin' you stay on top? Too fucking bad! I'm the one who's destined to be the strongest! And that's how it's gonna go. I ain't having any competition." Mokoto charged at Kekeya and swung her blade at his throat. Kekeya had barely managed to stop it with the Dawn's handle. The Darkshot was still very draining. It seemed as though Kekeya hadn't fixed his limit yet. Mokoto took this opportunity. "Looks like you still have some limits. I knew you were weak!" Mokoto charged another ball of the same chakra and pointed it to Kekeya's head. "What do you think of... Faintshot?" Mokoto was ready to blow Kekeya's head off. She fired, but Kekeya didn't die. Instead, he exploded into a large, black and red, ball of fire. It was a shadow clone rigged with his Darkshot. Mokoto jumped from the explosion and dust to see Kekeya on one knee, panting heavily. Mokoto seemed slightly damaged, but nothing serious. "BASTARD!!!" Mokoto charged another shot and fired it at Kekeya from a distance. This time he really was in trouble.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya didn't know what to do. He couldn't move fast enough to get out of the way. He thought he would be defeated, and after such a short time. He had really fallen behind. The attack was just about to hit Kekeya, when it was stopped. Kekeya stared at what had stopped it. It was the man from before with the straw hat. Kekeya didn't know who the man was, but he felt oddly familiar. Mokoto stared too. She yelled out. "WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!?! YOU'RE INTERFERING!!!" Mokoto charged at the man and brought her blade down, but the man stopped it... with the back of his bare hand! The force knocked his hat off. It revealed, long brown hair and... his eyes. They were black as well. It appeared that there was now a fourth Sasaki in their presence, but something was off. Mokoto stared wide-eyed at the man and backed away slowly. Kekeya stayed absolutely still and appeared to be trembling slightly. Kiyo, however, was shaking like a leaf. Kekeya was trying to say something. "K-k..." Mokoto said it for him. "Koga!" Mokoto continued to back away. Nori must've been extremely confused. How could this man strike fear into everyone's hearts? Mokoto continued, rather shakily. "W-what're you doing here?..."

[Nori Niigata]

Nori looked from one, to the other, to the other, and finally back to the Koga person. He seemed pretty average to her. Well except for the fact that he was able to stop Mokoto's attack with his bare hand. However, Nori knew that you couldn't judge a book by its cover.

Nori frowned slightly and cocked her head to the side.

[Koga]

Koga stood there and brushed dust off his shirt. "If you're gonna make so much racket, then how do you expect me to to just sit there?" He spoke with a very uninterested tone. "C'mon then. Let's fight." Koga began slowly walking toward Mokoto. She continued to jump back. She responded, "This isn't your fight." Koga continued walking. "Then make it my fight." Mokoto gasped when her back hit a wall. "This fight is over." She disappeared, high above the buildings. Koga sighed and put his hand on his head. "Brat..." He turned to Kekeya. Kekeya straightened when he looked at him. As Koga got closer, Kekeya began to shake more, until he was right infront of him. That was when Koga held out his hand to help Kekeya up. Kekeya was surprised and didn't react, other than staring. Koga spoke while pulling his hand away and closing his eyes. "Fine, stay on the ground. Last time I offer to help you up."

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya continued to sit there and blink, dumbstruck. Why wasn't Koga attacking? Kekeya stood after a minute. "Why aren't y-" Before Kekeya could finish, Koga spoke. "Because you couldn't even beat her. It'd be a waste of time." Kekeya blinked again. "Well, you didn't have t-" Koga interrupted again. "I saved you for a reason, you know. Don't give me reasons to kill you anyway." Koga sounded extremely bored, but Kekeya was still a little shaken. "Uh... why?" Koga sighed. "You're gonna make me explain it? I thought you were smart." Kekeya raised an interested eyebrow.

[Nori Niigata]

Nori figured that the possible threat of danger was over, and her instincts as a medic kicked in. She slowly walked over to where Koga and Kekeya were, taking the long route to where she wouldn't be walking close to the person who caused such a panic in the three Sasaki.

Once she reached Kekeya, she silently took him by the elbow and pulled him up. She let her eyes travel along the areas of his body that she could see with her eyes to see if there was any thing there that first needed her attention. In the middle of the silent check up, she glanced over at Koga and smiled politely and gave a nod of greeting before continuing her exam.

She knew that if there were any injuries that any hestiation to repair them could be hazardous to Kekeya's health, so she hoped he wouldn't mind the exam while he continued hsi conversation.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya blushed intensely as Nori checked and felt over his body, something he was absolutely unused to. He continued. "I'm sorry, I... don't understand." Koga grumbled, then spoke. "I'm going to train you." Kekeya was surprised, for he wasn't expecting an offer from Koga. "Train me? Why?" Koga answered. "If the Prince of the Sasaki can't match his subordinates, then what would become of the order we live by?" Kekeya was shocked to hear his title after so long. Koga had always been friends with Kekeya's father, Kessen. Appearantly, he was still fond of the previous order. He was willing to help Kekeya follow in his father's footsteps. Kekeya nodded in agreement.

(OOC: Ok, guys. The story I have planned is WAYYYY too long to fit in here without making everyone else wait. I'm just gonna skip ahead and say we already rallied the Sasaki. If enough people want to know,then I can write a story about the skip, but I don't want to write it for nothing, so only if you guys wanna know.)
