Akisa walked the streets of the mist village, alone like she normally did. Her light brown hair laying calmly at her sides showing there was wind not even a breeze. Her gaze turned towards the houses, flintching as she watched some of the other villagers close their doors when they saw her, always hiding something from me aren't they? she thought to herself before sighing. She shook her head forcing herself to look up and begin to walk more calmly, her hands formed fist under her sleeves wanting to look strong, I'm a Genin! I have to look strong! She told herself over and over again before stopping and laying against the wall calmly. "What did I do.." She asked herself her hazel gaze looking around at the homes seeing only a few people on the streets but they didn't stop to say hi or even look at her almost as if they were afriad. Doesn't matter what they think of me! I have to protect what is important to me..but what is that? She slid down the wall to sit on the ground in the shadows of the building, wondering what it would be like to have a friend for once or even someone to talk to other then the Kage or a Few anbu who gave her food when she couldn't afford something to eat.

((I'll make a profile for Marcus and his brothers soon..OMG THE COLORING TOOK FOREVER...If you must, skip down to the bottom paragraph in dark cyan color, because Marcus talks to your character, Akisa, Crimson ^.^))
Rochelle had her arm slung around Marcus’ waist. She had some illegal liquids in her hand, and was laughing boisterously. Her cheeks were flushed, and she was swaying on her heels.
Looking down at her, Marcus realized she had reached her limit…And wouldn’t feel too well in the morning. “We should get you home.”
“But we’re having so much fun!” She pouted childishly.
“Yeah, why not let her stay awhile longer, and if she’s tired she can rest at my place?” A large man whom they didn’t know too well wiggled his brows at Rochelle, who laughed and began to tip—but a firm, cool hand pressed against her burning back.
“I think she’s done, guys. Enough is enough.”
“I’ll be the judge of that,” The man rose. He was well thirty or so, and Rochelle was only sixteen.
“No.” Marcus shook his head shamefully, almost scornfully at the tall, broad-shouldered elder. He clicked his tongue in disapproval.
“Huh?” His face was a mask of perplexity.
“You’re too old for her, dude. It wouldn’t work. Try picking up someone who’s less likely to care who’s ugly mug they wake up to in the morning.”
“Why you—” His words were slurred from his drink, and a few of his buddies stood to join him.
Marcus’ lean muscles bulged beneath his tight black shirt as he tensed; waiting for what was inevitable.
“Honey, forget her and come join me—It was her fault for drinking so much.” One of the blondes by the bar called over to him, making the older man laugh.
“I leave her in your care for two measly hours and this is where I find you?” Rahzel sighed, glaring at the man who turned from Rochelle to favor her. She wasn’t worried or angry, she knew Marcus could protect her sister from these scum.
“Sorry, I couldn’t stop her from doing what she really wanted to do, but I refrained so I could watch over her—take care of her.”
“You call this—” She pointed to the three men still standing in front of him and wrinkled her nose in disgust, “Taking care of her?” She shook her head and smirked. “Unless you meant to care for her the whole night—”
“No! I mean-not that way!” When she laughed, he knew she was only teasing. He relaxed, and held up his fist playfully; shaking it at her like an old man trying to run kids off of his lawn.
“Ah…There’s more than enough to go around; right bud?” He turned to someone who didn’t know him. He backed away, and blinked. The thirty-year-old stopped, confused, but returned his blurry gaze to the little cute woman in front of him.
“Is he drunk?”
“Yeah, so is your sister. Where’s Bridget?” Rochelle was falling asleep on his shoulder. He looked down; she’d have a nasty headache later.
“She’s waiting with our instructor.”
“Ugh, dragon lady you mean.” He shuddered, rousing the girl on his arm a little, and he smoothed her ebony hair back.
“Hey, no one’s going nowhere.”
“So, you want a fight, then? Alright, but please provide me some entertainment. The last few people I've had to fight weren't much of a challenge.” Rahzel grinned, motioning for Marcus to get Rochelle out of here. His stinky, hot breath rolled across the short space between them.
“Go easy on them.” He flinched as the ring leader of the drunken trio was thrown clear across the room.
“Why?”
“Because I don’t think the village can afford any more hospital expenses.” He left then, and spotted their instructor. Walking forward, the sounds of blows landing, shouts and grunts faded into the background until he could hear no more. The instructor’s cold, ghostly eyes settled on his hold of her student. She scared the bejewels out of him, but he handed Rochelle over silently. She’d obviously be punished for skipping out on lessons. That he couldn’t help. The kid Bridget was typing away on her laptop, and he looked around the silent streets.
He spotted a girl who looked pained, and as he shoved his hands in his pockets, he stepped over to her. “You look a little lonely sitting here by yourself. Need a friend?” His left hand returned from the blue depths and produced a small white flower. His blue eyes were kind, and not suggestive. His voice was gentle, and not mocking in any way. He was really concerned for the girl; this side of town was no place for her. He recognized the head-band given to genin, and blinked. He was older, and had already taken the chunin exams, though failed twice, so he wouldn’t have ever met her. His black hair fell about his face unevenly.

((Lol Asher and him are both cute xDD))
Akisa looked up from where she was looking to put her hazel gaze on the boy infornt of her, "Lonely?" She asked almost as if the word didn't resigster with her before taking the flower with a slight blush. "T-thank you." She forced a small smile looking at the flower curiousity. "A friend would be nice..." Her mood brightened up alittle as she got to her feet slowly. "I'm Akisa." The girl dipped her head.

((XD I know; I was like, "SCORE!" when I found the pictures...It took forever! I wanted it to be just right...Though I wish David's picture was a little more innocent-looking, but oh well.))
Marcus grinned at her slow reaction, backing up when she stood to nod. He bowed swiftly in return, one arm crossing over his chest as if he were bowing to a superior; a queen or princess. "I'm Marcus; pleased to meet your aquaintence." Then he was straight once more, his necklace glittering in the small cone of sunlight; casting dancing flakes of white across the ground and himself. "What brings you out here? This really isn't a good place to be in. There are these caves filled with crystals I think you'd find much more interesting--and safer." He added, blinking at a man who'd decided to travel around Akisa's figure with his eyes.
"What're you looking at?" He snapped, stepping away from the house.
Marcus sighed. More trouble? "Something big and ugly." Even if he disliked violence, he wouldn't stand for such vulgar and degrading manners. When the guy was in range, his hands moved faster than a speeding bullet. His mouth was just as quick. "Ne Ushi Tora U Tatsu......Tori! Water style, Water Shark Bomb Jutsus!" Water was something this village did not lack, and as some rose from puddles beneath the man's feet, others came from barrels and cups...Until the man was surrounded by shark-shaped water things. He was easily overwhelmed, and as soon as the guy was unsconscience, he let his hands fall to his sides; the water flowing back to their original places. "Sorry you had to see that." He wasn't going to add how he felt; to hate violence was unmanly...And unheard of in this village. "Here, shall we go to the caves, or somewhere more populated but friendly?" He asked, holding his arm out to her in a gentleman's gesture. There was no way he was letting her stay here, but it was her choice where they'd go; he didn't want her to become uncomfortable.

((Lol xD))
She looked at the man who had his butt handed to him before back to Marcus, "The caves would be nice." She said calmly forcing a smile but the truth being she knew if she went somewhere populated she be hurt, or cursed at for being who she really was. Akisa blinked when he offered his hand to her and took it not wanting to seem rude to a new friend.

"You know, you don't have to force yourself," He had noted her somewhat distressed look, as if afraid of something he had said, but not wanting to insult him. He didn't want to frighten her, or cause her any discomfort. "I wouldn't want to make my friend do something they don't want to do. That wouldn't make me a friend, actually. I'd just be a bully like that jerk," He thrust his thumb in the direction of the guy who had thought he was strong enough to challenge Marcus. Still, he led her towards the woods, which wasn't encased in fog like the village was. He made it clear that it was her call; if she wanted to leave he'd take her home or whatever. His shoulders were relaxed, his smile slow and gentle. "Honestly, though, what on earth were you doing on that side of town? I was taking care of an obnoxious friend; she's odd, but cool." He shrugged, explaining why he was in the area.

Akisa blinked in confusion when he noticed she was forcing the smile and let it turn to a frown right away, She let him lead her out of the village listening to him talk without saying a word. "What w-was I doing?" She asked as if taken off guard by the question before pulling her hand away from his. Then placing it on the other arm nervously not knowing how to explain it. "I-i was getting away from the villagers." She moved her hazel gaze towards him as she began to explain how they called her horrible names like, 'monster.' 'Murderer' and other names which she had no idea why they called her those.

Marcus' grin, turned into a confused expression, then changed all together into a hard mask of anger; his grimace enough to make some of his friends shudder. "If you want I could easily teach them a few things; obviously they have no idea what fear is, and should be taught--or showed...They're probably just jealous. Or they don't understand something, and put the blame on you. Did someone important die beside you? A friend, a relative? Sometimes that happens...And it's illegal, and I'll be sure to stop the slander. Rumors can be spiteful, vicious, and horrendous. People can be creatures of their worst nightmares if they so chose." He was partly rambling, partly trying to console her, because he understood his words well. He knew how terrifying occurances could lead to the most unpleasant turn-a-rounds. Rumors turned into truth, and the real truth was lost to time and fear. He knew how fear especially could twist a being's mind, warp and shape it into something unimaginably horrifying. He stopped as they came to an open cave, his hands reaching into his pockets and pulling out two identical, though a bit odd, knives. He shoved them into cracks in the stones, and the huge grey slab blocking them was removed. He turned and winked at Akisa playfully. "This is where my friends and I often go if we don't want to be disturbed. I can get you some weapons forged, some passwords, and then you can come here anytime--instead of having to race back into dangerous territory." He stepped inside and held a hand out to her. "You don't have to be afraid, it's a lot less scary on the inside than on the outside."
"Kind of like you, eh Marcus?" Rahzel giggled, coming up from behind them. She dipped her head politely to the new girl. "I'm Rahzel, and you're Akisa. I've heard enough to know. Small towns, big mouths." She shrugged it off, as if it were normal.
"And this is the odd, but cool friend I was talking about." When she shrugged again, dismissing his taunts easily, he grinned for reasons only known to him.
"I've been called a monster too, but only by my family. It hurts a lot more than it would if it had come from strangers." Rahzel spoke freely, as if this was an old pain that was already healed. She shrugged off Marcus' arm and blinked softly. "Alright, enough of this annoying negative crap. Let's go inside already. It's really pretty."
"We used to come here as children-"
"You're still a child." When he grinned, and opened his mouth, she sped off inside.
"She knew what was coming." He smirked, his hand still waiting for Akisa to make her decision. No matter what, he'd be her friend. "Oh, and that's how she normally acts. Like I said, she's odd, but cool. With the way she acted, in english it would mean she likes you and will be your friend. If she didn't like you, she would've said it straight out. She's...Not afraid to speak her mind, nor voice her opinions." He shrugged apologetically, warning her of what could come. Rahzel was etremely honest, and would only lie--and make no mistake, she could lie well--if it was for a mission, or vital for their survival. Otherwise, she'd blab her thoughts and feelings. He was thankful for her honesty, even if it was blunt at times.

Akisa looked at him, giving a small smile at hearing how he didn't like how the villagers talked about her. "It's pretty norma-" She was cut off when she saw the caves staring into them a bit curious about what was inside. "The only problem being, I don't know why they hate me." She pointed out shrugging it off before taking Marcus' hand wanting to go inside, which ended up with her pulling him inside not the other way around like he probably was going to do. Akisa looked around her hazel eyes searching around the cave for where Rahzel went since the girl seemed to want to be her friend like Marcus had pointed out to her.

He waited patiently, but was surprised when she began to pull him along. "I'm telling you, they're probably just jealous for some stupid reason. I've seen fights of amazing proportions caused by the smallest, dumbest of ideas or-- whatever." It wasn't considered cool to continue like that. It would mean he was in touch with his femenine side, a bit more than he should, and while chicks liked it, his buds did not. It wasn't common for a male to comfort a female in such a way as he was with Akisa; for some reason he had let his guard down and had spoken more than he was used to. Still, he grinned and let himself be dragged until she halted, seemingly unsure of where to go. "Here, this way." There were different symbols on each turn, etched into the stone walls and tunnels; they meant different things to different societies, so only the select members of who resided her would know which pattern to follow. He took a left, a right, then another right, then a confusing jagged path. He continued to lead her futher into the caves, and to strike up conversation, as well as to assure her, he opened his mouth and spoke absently. "It's not much farther, we just keep things...Complicated so no one can ever find us if we don't want to be found. There are actually many good hiding spots, and even hidden passages." He paused, examining a new mark in red on the bend of a tree root that jutted out like an arm reaching for something it had dropped. He grimaced, and suddenly changed course, following another set of random pictographs. "Unfortunately these tunnels have been here forever, and some collapse--but don't worry. We have earth-empowered people who'd easily get us out, and others who's talents lie within search and find." He stopped suddenly, and tapped a wall three times in a brisk beat. An answering three knocks told him he wasn't welcome, and he knocked five more times. The stone slid to one side, and a boy with ashen blonde hair and almost lavender eyes greeted them...Well, if you could call it that. "Hey, what-"
"You've brought enough strangers here, and you've told her too much already. You're lucky I decided it wouldn't be wise to erase her memories." He had connections, or at least, people he could call on for favors. His eyes were cold, but glittered gently in the light eminating from the crystal ceiling. It was as if they were made of beautiful stones themselves. "She's an outsider, and you never had our full consent--"
"This bundle of joy is my brother, Asher." He interrupted, stepping inside and keeping Akisa in tow. He gazed around, and saw David sitting by the small pool with Rahzel and Bridget. They seemed to be drawing on the water's reflective surface with invisible light markers. He dropped her hand and walked over to them, stuffing his fists into his pockets. He watched the colors dancing across the pool. It was water jutsus, but being combined with a different one...Fire or something, to make it shimmer and glow different colors. They seemed to be trying to out-do one another, each doing something more complicated than the last. He looked back at Akisa, and motioned for her to come over. "This is David, my other brother. You know Rahzel, but this is her sister Bridget." They just raised their hands in awknowledgement to their names and then continued.

Akisa looked around once her hand was dropped, feeling a urge to run once she was called an outsider, another one.. she thought before looking over at the one who brought her where she was, silently walking over. "H-hello." She dipped her head as a greeting not sure what to really say since she never really talked to anyone other then those who asked her stupid questions like why she was in the village, or so on. "I'm Akisa.." She introduced herself so she didn't seem rude but it was pretty obvious that she was nervous but mostly scared of being yelled at for being there.

Rahzel suddenly threw some of her chakra-controlled water so it hit Asher squarely on the face. Her expressions were that of someone between a motherly figure and a protective friend. "Now look at what you've done-you've scared her." Before he was able to reply, she froze the water on his face by using a specialized air jutsu. She stood and dusted her hands off. "Welcome Akisa-san. Just ignore Asher, the rest of us do it all the time. Hence why we aren't vain, pushy, snobbish, depressed students." She pointed to the cave's ceiling, which was glittering brightly as if lit by a thousand minature stars. "Pretty, isn't it? I love it here. No strong light to hurt your eyes, just this natural glow from the crystals, all these pools you can play with, no one to bother you if you don't want them too--except maybe for Asher, but eh we get used to him." Asher had escaped from the ice gag and was fuming, but she didn't care. She didn't even need hand signs to bend winds to her wishes. That's now how she'd describe it of course, she'd say the wind was her friend, but that was beside the point. She was powerful, and it showed in the way the air seemed to cling to her presence, caressing her face and hair as gently as a lover would.
Bridget looked up from taking notes as david kept drawing something. It would take him some time to finish it, so she had decided to work on some math equations. She pushed her glasses back into place. "We can teach you some signs to follow if you ever get lost if or when you come back--each symbol means something different depending upon when you reach it. Like, you combine number combinations and--"
"Alright, alright! You're making my brain hurt." Marcus playfully ruffled her hair, to which she responded angrily by smacking his hand away. He grinned and stepped back, letting her continue without interruption...Though for how long, he couldn't decide.
Asher was in his own little corner, reading something she didn't care to notice. "You're Akisa...I've heard a little about you."
"When she says little, she means a lot. She's a technical genius and can hack into any system in the world. She does that so she can get information on her and her group's opponents."
"Actually, I've tried to hack into many various systems, and failed to disarm three. Now, shut up and listen!"
"Three? Aren't there like, only five?"
"Shut up!"
"Shut can't go up."
"Oh the immaturity." She sighed as Rahzel laughed, taking her glasses off to clean them on her shirt. "And you think this is all funny don't you?" She turned to David, who only shrugged and shyly looked away. He was never much for conversation, but at least he was better behaved than his siblings! "Anyway, I've heard they call you monster and throw stones at you and do a whole bunch of horrible stuff because you have something sealed in you. Don't worry, though, we aren't biased. We won't do anything to harm you. In fact, now that Rahzel and Marcus have taken a liking to you, you'll be quite safe." She whipped out her laptop from a cleaverly camaflagoued bag and began to type away.
"She's officially left the building--figuratively." He suddenly added, not wanting her to snap and sulk at him. She'd go on and on that this was a cave-say some scientific names he'd never remember, and just plain confuse him--which was something he did not like one bit. "Once she's on her laptop, she's out of it. The world could be ending, but she must research this one thing, or write notes about the secrets of cells or something else really geeky." He shrugged, and smiled at Akisa. He hoped they weren't scaring her more rather than assuring her she would be okay.

((Ahhh kiro uses the shut can't go up on me all the time xDD))
Akisa watched the four before tilting her head as she listened to Bidget, she was sort of understanding her then the other parts just went through her head. She didn't show that she didn't know, the girl showed no change in emotion intil she heard about something being sealed inside her. "W-What?" She asked showing she had no idea there was some kind of beast sealed inside her, her eyes went wide at the thought.

Yurika Hayase was still fuming that Kenji kicked her out of the house for the day. How was it her fault that she didn't know he was doing something important or whatever? Muttering curses under her breath, she walked down the wet streets of the Mist, spotting some members of the Yuki Clan—one of the kekkei genkai clans that had reformed after the last great war. The Clan had previously been scattered around the Mist until the current leader's great-grandfather had gathered them together again. The Yuki scared her a bit, they were very strong and some of their ninjutsus were undefeatable. Staying hidden, she watched the men of the Yuki, hair long and beautiful along with their strong forms. They appeared very beautiful, usually looking like women when they were children because of that beauty and long, black hair.
