In the catacombs of fallen Tasogakure (Fudo)

[Kage]

The woman breathed slowly not opening her eyes.

[Shinku no Yami]

*Ignores the fatigue and stand up, approaching and kneeling besides Kage. One hand over his left eye as the other one puts two fingers to her throat to feel for a definite pulse.*

[Uzumaki Naruto]

fudo- looks at the sky the is white as it begins to clear and revert back to the normal black night sky the normal moon* did it work?

[Kage]

As Sekiryou touches her throat, the woman's eyes begin to open ever so slowly. Unlike her black eyes that she had before she was entombed she now possessed red eyes that glowed with a blue-ish green like tint to them. She blinked once, and then twice before she took in a deep intake of oxygen as if she hadn't had the chance to taste it in centuries. "I'm pretty sure whatever you guys did worked Fudo Utaka." Kage pointed out. Her voice was still the sultry raspy voice that they remembered but unlike then it now coarsed with even more unknown power. She moved her eyes to Sekiryu and stroked the side of his face with her claw like fingers. "Hey there, Stranger." She said in a soft whisper.

[Shinku no Yami]

Sekiryō: *Smiles slightly at that little joke.* "You didn't forget me after only 500 years, did you?" *Chuckles softly and reaches a hand out. Before he can though, a strange rapid clicking noise is heard in the darkness of the corridor, out of which springs a long mechanical arm, rocketing at high speeds and grabbing Sekiryō by the throat.*

: *From the corridor, footsteps are heard.* "You really shouldn't let your guard down so easily, especially when you put yourself in positions that leave you unable to defend yourself." *Laughs somewhat weirdly as he steps out of the darkness.*



Sekiryō: "How do you keep finding me?" *His eye widens slightly as he tries to pry off the mechanical fingers that lift him and bring him closer.*

Izuka: "Ahahaha! Wouldn't you like to know?" *Takes a good look at his eyes, noticing the ripple forming on the outside of Sekiryō's eye.* "Yes, yes it's happening. They're maturing just as that tablet said they would. But you... sealed your one eye? Bah, no matter. Asura Path!" *The mechanical wrist opens up to form several other appendages that look a bit like large pliers.* "I'll take them both and find out how to unseal it later." *The appendages move towards Sekiryō's eyes, poising to remove them.*

Sekiryō: *Clenches his teeth and eyes shut for a second.* 'No choice I suppose.' *He opens his right eye and instantly focuses on Izuka.*



"Kanna!" (Godless/Void World)

Izuka: "Impossible! You don't have enough chakra!" *The air in the room suddenly becomes deathly cold, almost absolute zero. A sphere of dark energy begins surrounding Izkua, overtaking him instantly. The sphere swirls with all sorts of dark colors and electricity.*


(Ignore the minor character duelists standing in front of it >.>)

Sekiryō: *As the sphere engulfs Izuka, the mechanical arm breaks off and Sekiryō falls down with it, landing on one knee. He yanks it off and begins coughing, his right eye closed shut as well while smirking slightly and panting.* "You're right... I didn't."

[Uzumaki Naruto]

hey she remembers me *his laughs is interuptted by the man that entered the sence fudo looks at the man that came out of the shadows of the room his eyes watch the technique for a moment * what is this a cheap immitaion of the rinngan techniques* he says as he turns back towards sekiryou *

[Kage]

Kage looks a bit frazzled at the moment as she sits there. Everything was sort of going to fast for the newly awakened woman to grasp at the moment.

[Shinku no Yami]

Sekiryō: *Collapses a second later. As he does, the technique dispels. Izuka drops from the technique, completely frozen solid, but what's mysterious is that he also appears to be horribly burned at the same time.*

Izuka:

(I had to lol)

[Uzumaki Naruto]

* fudo holds out his hand to sekiryou as he grabs fudo's hand some of fudo's chakra is pored into sekiyou's body so he doesn't die and fudo brings seki up to his feet and looks back over at kage * you good kage?

[Kage]

Kage opened up her eyes once again before she looked at her somewhat. "Yea..." She muttered as she tried to move off the floor stumbling somewhat as she does move.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

fudo - * smiles and looks up above them and looks at the night sky * looks like we are all back once again * he smirks as he leaps to above them on the edge of the castle out side *

[Kage]

Kage stood up fully and flexed her fingers finally. She was concentrating on the energy she felt coarsing through her body and then looked at the water that was around her in her crystal. ".... So this is the side affect..." She muttered a little bit before looking to her right arm that had once been infected with Geostigma 500 years ago only to see her perfectly smooth skin in its place. ".... " She stood in silence looking at it.

[Shinku no Yami]

(Sekiryō actually fell unconscious lol. There were a few things I could've done with Izuka's visit that would've dealt with him with no struggle, but they were all boring. He'll restore chakra fast naturally though, otherwise Kanna would have killed him. I has an idea though)

Sekiryō Bunshin: *Walks in through the corridor, having been made from the black streaks Sekiryō left on the organic wall earlier.* "What side effect do you mean?" *Walks over to the water, kneeling down and scooping a handful up, protecting his hands with chakra.* Do you know what kind of liquid this is? Oh and-" *Flashes a genuine smile that's rarely seen on him.* "Welcome back sleepy head."

[Kage]

"Shut up Sekiryo. I'm not a sleepy head." She said in a playfully soft voice as she went over to the water where the bunshin was located and watched the odd colored liquid and wisps dance over the liquid. "I'm nnot sure... but I believe it to be some type of.... life energy... similar to lava if you will..." She muttered leaning her head somewhat on the clone's shoulder. "I believe its what healed me of my geostigma... and also entombed me..." She said softly "Think of it as the Yin to lava's yang.... even if it is..." she looked at the bones scattered around. "Deadly." She reached out her hand above the liquid her eyes glowing a bit brighter.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

* fudo looks down at them listening to kage briefly and he closes his eyes and drops back down next to the two of them looking at the odd looking liquid *

[Shinku no Yami]

(You know what's funny? In the series, Lava Release and Yang Release are both called Yōton, so they have the same Romaji/Kanji lol. And you can still call him Sekiryou if you want. The ou means ō. I think his name's actually pronounced "Se - key - rai - oh" instead of "Sek - ear - you", which I thought it was all this time lol. Why doesn't my computer have ō?? T.T)

Sekiryō Kumo Bunshin (Yes it's a spider clone ^_^): "You must have taken one of the longest naps in history." *Laughs as she approaches.* "So this water which normally kills on contact, instead healed you? I wouldn't want to test and see if I'm that tolerant to it." *Leans his head somewhat on hers, before snapping up and looking toward Izuka, performing a hand seal with his other hand.*

"Suiton: Suigadan." (Water Release: Water Fang Bullet)

*From the little lake of special water, 3 spiral tendrils of it shoot out incredibly fast and drill right into Izuka's still form, the properties of the water causing him to completely melt away, due to him being an engineered clone with no actual skeletal structure.* "How'd you end up down here? Did you come here to heal the stigma?"

[Kage]

"I actually came here to die..." She answered him honestly not looking at him. "The stigma was in it's last stages or so I thought.... so I came down into the basement of my home and traveled the tunnel system here...." She said softly looking at the water. "It was very.... taxing journey down here seeing as I couldn't even make clones to lean on at this time." She sighed putting her hand in the water unprotected for once the water only caressing her skin. "I remember sitting over in the corner of this area for the longest time just waiting on death... release... before something happened... I believe it was an earthquake or something... or it could have been my demons begging to be released and lashing out with there power but something cracked open the earth and water began to spill forth from the ground..." She swirled her fingers around in the water. "I was curious and i forced myself to come over... and finally just stood in the water right where i was imprisoned. It only took a few seconds but my body healed fully... and I ... I'm not sure what else happened but I know I saw a vision of some sorts of someone coming down here and placing the jutsu on the water so the words changed rapidly.... after that nothing.... I was frozen inside my own mind... and because of that and the water that crystalized me... I was able to mentally train myself as I would my body... and I learned...so much."

[Uzumaki Naruto]

( gotta love fun facts lol)

fudo looks at them both and closes his eyes* this place sure hasn't changed much over the last five hundred years ....what have you learned kage * he says softly and almost to the point were he is monotoned *

[Shinku no Yami]

*His expression hardened after hearing that.* "You were going to willingly accept death?" *The entire area noticeably becomes darker, as if the light had gone to hide.* "Why didn't you come see me? Even if I wouldn't have been able to help, I still would've known... Maybe you wouldn't have been trapped for so long." *Pauses.* "Wait... do you know who it was who used the Jutsu on this water?"

(Lazy post since I gotta leave for work in 3 mins T_T)

[Kage]

"Why didn't I come to you? It's simple really Sekiryou.... You left." She said simply. "You were there one day and gone the next... even with your soul inside of me I could not find you no matter how hard I looked." She muttered icily towards him. "No, I don't know who used the Jutsu on the wisps to make those lines above me. All I know is that I saw him and then nothing.... just nothing." She muttered letting the water fall from her hands and then rose from her spot quickly and stopped near the ledge of the area. She ran her hand over the feathers of her black wing. "I learned what my geostigma was.... I learned what it has done to my body.... and I've learned secrets that even I do not understand."
