Oto Border

[Akio Akita]

Akio saw Jin heading away from Orochimaru's lair and decided to follow him sneakily. Of course, Jin was none the wiser that he was being followed because Akio was very skilled with the Akita kekkei genkai, but in order to not take any risks Akio stayed aways back.

He stopped when he realized that Jin was now engaged in a fight with someone that he wasn't familiar with. It was obvious that Jin was now overpowered and it took all that Akio had to keep him from cheering for the other guy. He stood silent and watched the battle play out, not wanting to make even the slightest noise. It was clear that the fight would take a little while longer, but he had made it his mission to keep an eye on Jin. Not because Jin was a traitor to Orochimaru, quite the contrary, it was Akio who was a double agent of sorts. The only reason he was a ninja in the sound village was to gather intel in order to help his family and the neighboring villages. He hoped that his duty was nearly over.

[Koga]

Koga hastily elbowed Jin in the throat, causing him to choke slightly. Before Jin could breathe, it appeared that Koga had already landed a knee to the back of his neck, bringing Jin to his knees. Koga continued elbowing Jin in the back of the neck, trying to get him completely on the ground. Koga stopped before he was and took a step back. "Jeez, do we really have to keep fighting? You're boring." Jin got up quickly and threw his hand in Koga's direction, not really a punch. Koga tilted his neck to give Jin more room to strike, and when the blow connected, it was as if a feather stroked Koga's neck. He didn't move, and sighed. Jin grabbed his hand and was cringing in pain. Koga spoke. "C'mon, man. I even gave you more room. If we're gonna fight, I wanna at least be on my toes. Well, actually, I guess taking it easy is fine. That way I don't get tired." Jin stared wide-eyed at Koga. "...Inconceivable..." Koga popped his knucles and sighed again. "Hurry up and attack so I can win again." Jin clenched his teeth together and began growling, still wide-eyed. "No... NO!!!" Koga took another step forward, still wanting to egg Jin on. "What's wrong? I thought you said something about killing me?" Jin stood straight and let out a quick yell. "RAH!!! JIN MAKE YOU DIE!!! WHAT JIN SAY, JIN DO!!! NOW YOU DIE!!!" Jin charged at Koga with hatred in his eyes. He began swinging wildly, throwing lightening fast punches and kicks, but Koga either dodged or stopped each one. Koga grabbed Jin by his hand and threw him into a nearby boulder. It made smoke and dust rise from the rubble. It took a few seconds, but Jin blasted himself out of it, letting out an earth-shattering roar. He charged again at Koga, but this time preparing his Morphshot in his mouth. Before he could fire it, Koga stepped to Jin's side and prepared his own Echoshot. He put his hand over Jin's mouth and fired. It completely overwhelmed Jin's Morphshot. It caused a small explosion in his stomach. Once again, lots of smoke rose, but this time it wasn't dust, it was burning smoke. As far as Jin's body could stretch, it couldn't handle all that chakra. It found its way out by making dozens of tiny holes throught Jin's body. Jin was standing in place, quivering with pain, smoke emitting from the holes in his body, as well as his mouth and ears. Koga was still walking forward. When he was once again at Jin's side, he punched him in the stomach. This forced all of the smoke out of his body. This had been his final blow. That last punch knocked Jin unconscious. Jin lay there, and the scales from his draconification seemed to flake away like glass. Koga stood over him a second. "Hmph..." Then he sat down on a nearby rock.

[Akio Akita]

Akio stood up from where he was kneeling and dusted himself off. He walked out into the clearing as if he were simply taking a walk into the park rather than coming into contact with a possible new enemy. He smiled his care free smile that matched that of his little sister.

"Thank god that's over. I didn't know how much longer I could stand hearing him yelling 'JIN DO THIS' or 'JIN GOING KILL AKIO'. I heard the last one a lot of times." Akio said, still walking closer to where Koga was sitting.

He stopped when he was a few inches from Jin's body, and he looked down at him. "So, is he dead or just unconscious?"

[Koga]

Koga had his elbows on his knees as he looked over at the new arrival. "... You trying that hard to make conversation, or is that just you? He's unconscious, thankfully." Koga looked back at the direction where his comrades had left. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a little bag with jawbreakers in them. He popped one in his mouth and held the bag to the new guy, offering one to him.

[Akio Akita]

Akio looked once more at Jin's sleeping form and shrugged slightly. He then looked over at Koga and his grin spread even wider across his face at the site of the jawbreakers. He disappeared and then a few seconds later, right beside Koga. He had his hand inside the jawbreaker bag and was pulling out one.

"Hey thanks! So, did you just come here to fight with our dear friend over there or do you have some other purpose? Oh I'm Akio by the way, Akita Akio." Akio introduced himself. He obviously hadn't seen the other members of Koga's party.

[Koga]

Koga raised his eyebrow at the sight of the boy's disappearing technique, then the name "Akita". Koga was considering saying something, but he decided against it. Instead, he said, "Let that crap solve itself out." Then he swallowed the shrunken jawbreaker in his mouth and popped another one in. He put the bag back into his pocket and said, "Eh. He deserved a knock out drop, anyway." He left Akio's initial question unanswered, but had given a related response.

[Akio Akita]

Akio shrugged his shoulder again in a careless gesture and climbed up on a big rock and sat down, crossing his legs in a very relaxed manner. He reached up to brush sweat away from his forehead, and when his fingers touched the Sound head protector, he let out a silent groan and quickly moved his hand away.

"You're very talkative, huh?" He said to Koga with a crooked grin. He then leaned back, resting his head on his arms. He closed his eyes, resting them.

[Koga]

Koga also leaned back in his rock, slash, chair and said, "Sure, why not. So tell me: Why hasn't an enemy ninja tried to attack an invader, or are just one of those guys who wait for me to say that, then attack. Of course, then again, you could just be cool, like me. Eh, who cares." Koga closed his eyes. "I should be leaving soon anyways."

[Akio Akita]

Akio opened one of his eyes briefly to look at Koga then closed it again. He chuckled amusingly. He was glad that not all Sasaki were like Jin.

"Eh, don't you know that you really can't believe everything that you see? Just because a ninja looks like an enemy doesn't mean he really is one? Or it could be just because fighting you would ruin my good mood. Its certainly peaceful here right now." Akio replied.

[Koga]

Koga opened one of his eyes and closed it again after looking at the boy. "You know, kid? You got the right idea." Koga sat up, stretched, and looked at his shadow. He was telling the time by the angle of his shadow. "Well, it shouldn't be too much longer, now. I'm off, kid. Nice meetin' ya." Koga then started to walk off.

[Miyoko Sasaki]

Miyoko began to walk into a clearing where the hideout cave had been. "Wooow, what happened? Where's the cave? Hey, is that Jingles?" Miyoko began to walk over to the unconscious Jin. She and Sachi had strayed from the group in search of some excitement.

[Sachi Akita]

Sachi appeared right beside Miyoko and blinked when she saw what remained of the cave, she then disappeared and reappeared beside Koga, a bright smile on her face.

"Hey K.O. Whatcha doin? Did you break the big cave down without us? Thats no fair." Sachi said and crossed her arms and pretended to pout.

She heard laughter coming from behind her, a familiar chuckle that she hadn't heard in a few years, and it caused her to spin around quickly. When she saw Akio she squealed and ran to him quickly and jumped into his arms, causing them both to fall to the ground.

"Brother!!!!" She yelled happily. Finally when they were able to stand back up, she noticed the Sound Village headprotector that Akio now wore on his head, and she looked at it questioningly.

"Oh this?" He asked, now untying it "This was just a momentarily thing, when we heard that you joined Orochimaru I came here looking for you with a few other brothers. The twins got captured, some others escaped to help other villagers escape and they're now hiding,and I stayed behind to look for you as well as keep an eye out. Now that I've found you, I can leave too."

Sachi nodded for a moment and wrinkled her nose, she did hear that her two brothers were arrested but she was sure that they were fine if they were still even in the prison. Of course they werent here.

"Well you have to come back to Konoha with us, definately." Sachi said, grabbing her brother's arm and pulling him along.

[Miyoko Sasaki]

Miyoko threw her arms in the air out of happiness. "YAY!!! I hope you're as fun as my bestie!" Miyo grabbed Sachi's other arm in a hug, then began to walk along with them. "You'd better be, cause you're her brother!" Koga was walking with them and let out a sigh. "Oh, poo, K.O., you're way too grumpy!" Then Miyo looked slightly up and had a wierd face. after a few seconds of silence, she said, "Oh, you don't have to be such a whiney-head, too!" Koga looked at Miyo and said, "Why can't you be more like her?" Then Miyo leaned over and stuck her tongue out at Koga.
