Diversity: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYKDLofJdeI ) Michiko would be kneeling at the edge of the campsite. She could hear a mess of things distantly, hoping all was going well. But she knew they were- she could feel Keyth. Her blind eyes were open, peering palely into the distance, past the horizon as if seeing straight through the entire world when really she just wasn’t seeing at all. She was simply hoping, as she dearly missed the sight of Keyth. She didn’t even know his hair was white, or his skin was paler than normal. She only knew he had rather cute ears and a tail that kept her warm at night. Her enigmatic and strange black attire had warped around her to form a solid black hakama and a black stitched top that left some of her midsection revealed in all of its glittering smoothness. She’d stolen a thin pale jade robe to pull over her arms that dragged behind the mystical Tsukumogami in their travels. But she was thinking of many things along the way. Osamu’s obvious rejection of Keyth Tasanagi so long ago, and yet even here he still had enemies. The runes behind her head had proved to show like a halo, but many thought because she was traveling with Okami she must be some kind of wicked, evil witch. Either way it did not bother her at all. Her feet hovered over the ground, feeling a few blades of grass against the palms of her feet and along her lower legs but wondering why she couldn’t feel the warmth and security of the earth below. Most wouldn’t even notice that she was levitating like she was. Maybe Keyth noticed when he picked her up that she felt so weightless. Maybe he just thought it was his chi- when it actually was not. For her summoner to lift her, she would weigh no more than a simple item, such as her staff for instance. At the softly felt desire to cover her blind, pearlescent milky orbs, the black fabric would move and a piece break away and slither up her throat to cover her eyes like a blindfold. She would sigh gently as she would twist her staff in her hands, the bottom of it touching the ground as she laid it across her lap. Jason was off wandering about, talking to his kitten (what a moron). Michiko felt a slight prickling at her mind though as she closed her eyes beneath the fabric and would reach up to touch her temples with her delicate fingertips. Images of war came to mind, and something metal. A faint, distant image of a giant sword? No, it was more like a sculpture of polished silver. Beautiful, maybe even white gold. As she dropped her fingers away, Michiko wouldn’t notice the silvery shine of her nails before they darkened back to normal. “Keyth, you’re taking a long time…” She chuckled softly under her breath. With ease and grace she raised back up to her feet, the silk jade robe drifting around her with gravity while the black fabric of her hakama was moving softly as if constantly being kissed by spring zephyrs in all of its animated state. A living robe. She hadn’t once even needed to change, though she’d snuck off to clean herself in streams when she could- hoping Keyth hadn’t taken advantage of the moment to watch her while she was vulnerable. Then again she knew he didn’t let her out of his sight. Especially now. She appeared weaker but she had discovered thus far that she had amazing healing powers. Even in herself, when she would slit her flesh with a small paring blade, it would already have healed by the time the blade lifted from the skin. Unreal- she thought. Michiko glanced back- as much as a blind woman could glance. Her head turned as if looking behind her shoulder as she felt a familiar presence growing nearer. “Jason should really play the provider amongst the three of us. Keyth is more the… good guard dog.” She smiled, her lips glittering like opals under the setting sunlight as she would turn her head back around. Another prickling sensation touched upon her neck. She thought she felt something else near, but she couldn’t be sure. She couldn’t /see/ anything out there. She couldn’t see at all. But she doubted too much harm was about- it was probably Jason. Hopefully Jason.

DeliriousAres: ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPDCHr3H_Hw)) " OIIII!! MIMI!!!" Keyth said still carrying Kakubo under his right arm. He had a big grin on his face as he made his way over to her with the young man under his right arm. In his left hand was a large net of FIshes he caught in a stream not to far off, On his left shoulder a deer, a dead one. And in his mouth a rope sat there. Tied to a dead tiger that he drug along the ground. Dropping all of the food and items ( including Kakubo on the ground.) He put his hands behind his head as he tilted his head back. " Hahah! Hope i didnt keep ya waiting to long Mimi." He said smirking at her with a light grin. He'd kick Kakubo in the ribs slightly. " Oi! Wake up kid, im gonna cook soon if your sleeping your eating rocks got it? When I eat, we all eat." He said nodding his head. He'd stat to get the food ready. Skinning the deers, and the fish before roasting them over the coursing flames. After two hours Jason had returned and they'd start there feast. Keyth " Borrowed." Some plates from a near by village not to far off, giving everyone condments and forks and knives. Though he didnt get himself any. When did he ever use eating utencils? Night fall had closed in, and the fire continued to burn as Keyth leaned back on his self made matt right next to Michi's. Keyth would turn to her, cocking an eye brow as he looked her up and down if she had been next to him. " Its kinda peaceful out here huh haha." He said smiling. " Hey. Can you really not see..?" He said bluntly.

Diversity: Michiko heard him coming and turned towards his direction. Her smile spread across her features, bright and pleasant. "Keyth..." She smiled. Whenever he'd give her a chance and come close to Michiko, she would reach out and touch his shoulders, leaning in to kiss his cheek and hug him. She missed him, especially now. In a foreign world she would've never have credited to be real, with no eyesight. The idea of food pleased her too- but was all mental. She knew it too- which made her feel far beyond human. Honestly Michiko didn't feel human at all. She didn't feel /hungry/, she just thought that food would taste good. It'd make her feel a little more at home. Plus, she'd never had Keyth's cooking- so she thought it was kind of enjoyably strange to switch the roles for once. After all the food was done she would settle down and eat, picking at her food slowly as she knew Keyth was near her. As she dug the fork into a piece of venison, she'd turn her head a bit but not totally towards him. "It is peaceful." She smiled. But his next blunt question made her heart sink a bit as she sat the fork down gently and reached over. Her fingers hovered slowly towards him, and soon she found his knee. Her fingers were hesitant and gentle, yet affectionate and trusting. Dependent even- as she laid her hand across his knee. "I can't." She said quietly. "I have tried everything, but I believe there's nothing to do about it." Michiko sounded discouraged, as if maybe she'd never see again. But she gave his knee a squeeze, turning back towards her plate. "But it will be okay." She said kindly. Michiko then continued to eat... After she was done she would hold up the plate and begin to feel her way through the camp's edge. "Hey Keyth..." She said as she would be touching the ground blindly, her glittering hair hanging around the side of her neck, her halo generating its own soft light- and she had no clue she even had a runic halo in the first place. "Do you see the others' dishes, I can take them to the stream to clean them if I can find them."

Guest_Vincent902: Kakubo woke up looking around rubbing his head. “Fuckin A” He said his inner voice spoke [He knocked you out and all you can say is that] “Oi you freaky bastard. Let me be for now” all in all it looked like Kakubo was talking to himself. He stood up and cracked his neck and then his knuckles looking around. “Where…. Am I?” He asked and then looked to Keyth for a questionable answer as he had no idea. He looked around and saw his sword no longer with him. His eyes closed and his mouth went with no expression and he sighed a small mushroom like could from his mouth. Now remembering when knocked out or asleep his sword disappears back into the ground where he might summon him once again. Kakubo saw a female and blinked noticing that she was blind. Only not knowing what to say but the words that came from his mouth were. “Hello” DeliriousAres: Keyth was about to respond when he heard a swift movement above his head. ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr338YlKD94&list=RDoEIQqvYo-80)) The leaves trickled from the tree tops slowly. Forcing his eyes to watch them as they dwindled down to the ground. "...." He'd sqwent his eyes, standing to his full shirtless height as he turned his head right and left. A Man appeared before the group, cloaked in all black. A light shimmer of golden could be seen under his robes as he made his way over to them. Keyth summoned his blade in his right hand as he stood. Eying the man from a distance. " State your name." Keyth said as he tilted his head. The cloaked man didnt speak a word as he stayed entirely focused on the group. Jason had left out again and twilight had entered the sky, creating an errie golden color to the sky. The Golden armour under the robe had been visible due to his leg greaves shining so brightly in the light. " I said... speak your name." The cloaked man clenched his fist, still remaining silent, his blackish blue hair hanging from out of the hood of the cloak as he eyed the group. The only thing visible through the shadowy hood of his cloak had been his bright golden eyes. Keyth remained silent. "...I cant even feel his chi. Is he supressing his power?" Keyth said as he took a stepforward. The cloaked man put up his right hand, making Keyth hault before he shook his fingers left to right. He began to speak, a booming and dominate tone slipped from his lips as he spoke. " I am the Force Kami, and Kami of Thunder." He said letting his hand drop. " And you. Will prove your worth to me. Outsider." The cloaked warrior let his hand drop as he eyed the blind female. " She is the one i seek." " Yeah well keep looking buddy she's not for you.." Keyth said dashing infront of her. Ready to protect her with all of his power. " Hm, what of the boy?" The cloaked man pointed at Kakubo and Keyth would have dashed infront of him this time. " Him either." The cloaked man smirked and crossed his arms. " You'd protect the boy to hm? So who wouldnt you protect. Arent you just a ruthless killer?" " Just beacause i kill people... doesnt mean i like to. I do what i have to. Just like every man does. It's The Yakuza way." " The Yakuza? And what... is the Yakuza." " The Yakuza is a shitty criminal organization. But what... they truly stand for. Is life." Keyth responded back to the hooded man and the hooded man smirked in response. " I see." He said pacing back and forth before he stopped in his track's. " Show me how much you've grown.... Keyth." Keyths eyes went wide as he pointed his blade at the man again. ((http://youtu.be/2nI7WSht9W0?t=3m28s)) " HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME..!" As Keyth called out to the man, the hooded figure would clap his hands. A Pentegram would appear on his right hand as he slammed that same hand into the ground. A Bright light would appear around his body as the pentegram appeared around his body. The light would errutp upward from his body casting a bright light that shifted from red, to green, to blue, to red. Sonic booms began to errupt from that current spot. The sheer wind of the power alone almost made them get blown back. The cloaked man then slammed the other hand down and pulled them both from the ground. As he did, the penetegram would split into two piecs as lava began to errupt all around there bodies in massive instant gysers. The Lava would blast high into the air burning down trees and the such casting the part of the jungle they were in, into a firey blaze. As the Pentegram broke, a massive entity would start to rise from the broken plates of the ground pushing the cloaked man higher and higher into the sky. Soon the massive entity hovered over all of the trees and the cloaked man sat on it's shoulders. ((http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070328020150/finalfantasy/images/2/24/BahamutX%26X-2whole.jpg))" KAGEMARU!" The cloaked man shouted as he called out to his summon. " Wait... Kagemaru!?" Keyth said to himself as he pulled himself up from the ground. " SHOW THEM WHAT POWER IS, SHOW ME IF THERE WORTHYYY!" The massive beast's body glowed with a dark and almost ominous light that glowed all throughout the jungle. " Fucking..great.." Keyth'd say.

Diversity: (http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=0I5iCaE-JLs ) Michiko tilted her head hearing a new voice. Keyth’s suddenly protective aura made her tense up as she would feel around and find her staff. She put the bottom end against the ground and pushed against it. Michiko slowly rose to her feet as Keyth took to a place in front of her and she would knit her brows. “Me?” Michiko said as she would clutch the staff firmly. Even though she was blind, even though she felt weak, she would not stand down- especially when Keyth was in danger. She was so brave that it was honestly foolish of her. Without any sense of combat, she would still dare to be courageous. Her natural calm was otherworldly though as she would feel something else kick in. Wisdom. A… A desire to… Wake up? But wasn’t she awake already? Michiko suddenly stepped back. A powerful life energy came into her perception as she would emerge, heat radiating outwards to her as she didn’t stumble like some might. She wasn’t really touching the ground- so her balance was never impaired. When the man yelled, she felt a sudden gripping sensation in her chest. Michiko stepped forward and for whatever reason was compelled to stand in front of Keyth. She had her staff in one hand, her arms shoved out to either side of herself. She tilted her head back as if eying the creature. Her blind orbs were locked onto the beast’s as she would take in a deep breath. Keyth would notice a strange tingling in his chest, and a warm burning heat radiating from his left hand. If he looked, the symbol on the back of his hand would be glowing a bright, piercing gold. “Don’t do this!” She shouted. “This isn’t fair!” She continued as she felt like something inside of her was changing. Keyth would feel it too. A powerful magnetism, a desire to do… /something/. Keyth would feel it the strongest though, the desire to hold his hand out towards her. A desire to… release her.

Guest_Vincent902: Kakubo looked at the giant thing and then the woman. “Well fuck my life, were boned” Kakubo said. He thought it be a good time to do this so he started searching his pockets. “Well If I die might aswel…. Ah here ya are” Kakubo said as he found a cigarette pack. He took a black cig from the pack pressed it between his lips and snapped his finger. A small black flame would appear at the tip of his finger. Bringing it to the tip he lit it and then made the little flame disappear. He inhaled smoke into his lungs and took the cigarette inbetween his index and middle finger of his right hand and removed it from his lips before he exhaled the smoke seeing as it might be the only one he would be able to smoke

DeliriousAres: ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjHgljYbMGg)) Keyth could feel it. The burning in his chest, it was increasing. Becoming overwhelming. His eyes lit up in contrast of this new power. He watched Michiko pull herself infront of him which only made him want to... " AGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!" He'd shout at the top of his lungs as his eyes glowed a bright gold for a brief moment. Putting his right hand in the air the wind around his body would pick up as it swirled all over the place along with the strange markings beneathe his feet. (( http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140115000809/yakuza-mob-roleplay/images/3/32/Seiketsu_summoning_circle.jpg )) They'd glow blowing wind all over his and Michiko's body. The cloaked man smirked as he crossed his arms. " So it's true..." he said watching from a distance with his arms crossed. " Then there's hope after all then." The cloaked man said as he pointed at them from below. " NOW, KAGEMARU!" As he shouted, the beast would react to its master command activating to it's special attack Impulse, a non-elemental attack which causes moderate damage to all enemies within the area with a gust of hellish wind. As the attack flew down amongst them, a sheild would appear around there bodies protecting them from the impact of the attack before Keyth clenched his fist and screamed out one more time. Not knowing what it was, but releasing something in the back of his mind. " AAAAAAAGHHH!!!!!"

Diversity: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqmJ0CALcKQ ) The summoning circle suddenly appeared below their feet, centered at Michiko’s feet. Her head was pushed back as she released her staff and an unknown wind began to whip wildly around them both. Her lips would move and then a shimmering barrier would form around the edges of the summoning circle, causing Impulse to appear to be… absorbed into its translucent essence. Not a moment later, the barrier in front of them began to ripple as it started to glow, then re-cast Impulse back at Kagemaru. As the barrier did so, her body tilted forward and she would draw her arms inwards. Something was trying to rip out of her; something was trying to tear free. Keyth would be pushed back, no matter how hard he tried. He’d be find himself on the outer edges of the glowing blue and white circle as a golden glow began to engulf its center, unable to get back in. It ripped at the threads of her robe and left her only in the animated black fabric that was swimming over her body in a cocoon of black liquid cloth. Her blindfold soon fell away as she squeezed her eyes shut and she would find a name radiating in her mind and in Keyth’s. /Seiketsu Senku-sha, flourish!/ It rushed through her as she opened her eyes to reveal solidly silver eyes, no whites or pupils or irises at all. Her hair began to whip wild and free, slowing down as it came upon her shoulders. Her halo’s symbolic runes would start to break away one by one, shooting into the sky where the stars above would twinkle- fourteen of them. She hovered into the air over the summoning circle as the black fabric entrapping all but her face would soon break away, fluttering into thousands of feathers that turned silver and metallic. In the storm of their fluttering away, what would be left was a twelve-foot tall creature, appearing female by shape, and metallic in appearance. The feathers had come upon her back forming two massive wings, each one fourteen feet in length but completely shifting and able to change instead of being set in form. She would bring her arms across her chest and a crystal orb (Vanguard’s Secret) formed between her hands, casting a bright piercing golden glow of potent magic within it. Her right arm then stuck out as she drew her knees up to her chest. The fourteen stars that had flickered now slashed downwards, shooting stars that appeared as 56’’ inch long swords. Each of the Vitality Blades are immediately noted as producing a comforting heat that allures some and repels other. They are also constantly vibrating at such a low, thrumming rate that they seem to hum or sing. But this thrumming is for more than melodic aesthetics- the Vitality Blades vibrate at such a frequency that they can slice through chi and magic with ease, and also deflect it at certain angles. The wings were wrapping around the body, creating a giant metallic diamond-shaped shell around Seiketsu Senku-sha’s center form, AKA Michiko. The Vanguard’s Secret rested at the front by the revealed face and single arm that had come over the front to cradle the orb protectively. A massive metal ring began to flicker into existence around Seiketsu Senku-sha; a ten-foot Major Defense Ring that automatically moves up or down to take incoming physical blows. Then two other rings formed similarly, halos to the side of her face like chakrams that were each five feet in diameter ( Minor Defense Rings ). The blades started to hover and spin around Seiketsu Senku-sha, a song of battle being played from the blades as they moved. The summoning circle also, at this time, shattered. (http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=2VOj5w68S68 ) The metallic face did not move as words echoed around the massive creature, about twenty feet in height and about twelve feet in diameter. The summon Seiketsu Senku-sha’s words were clear and inhuman. “Life is to be protected; and I am its Vanguard.” ( http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140115001017/yakuza-mob-roleplay/images/b/b1/Anima_The_Seraph_by_Wen_M.jpg ) Seiketsu Senku-sha’s Vitality Blades began to come forward, forming a circle with the handles as it began to spin wildly, creating a golden glow.  DiversityDiversity : Her metallic fingers began to drag over the Vanguard’s Secret, and the flicker of magic began to spark outside of the crystal orb and run across her arm then jolted like arcs of mystical lightning into the circle of blades, causing them to glow with her mysticism. Keyth would look up and see it, and yet Seiketsu Senku-sha would not look back at him as she would cast her first attack. With a push of her long gangly silver fingers against the air, Seiketsu Senku-sha caused the blades to tilt with the sharp perilous tips facing Kagemaru as the blades rushed forward in a flicker of light, shooting stars across the space between them as the hovering summon then released one of the Minor Defense Rings. A single ornate ring launched into the air and then came down, slowly levitating its way around Keyth’s body. The Minor Defense Ring was five feet in diameter and would do the same thing for him as her Major Defense Ring ( it would circle around him slowly, centered around the axis of his body and thusly following him wherever he went, moving up and down to block or catch incoming physical attacks ). /Keyth… I’ll protect you…/ 

DeliriousAres : ((http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=LHQwMeLOsXs)) Keyth watched in blissful awe at her transformation. "M-...Michiko..." He said as his eyes went wide with sheer fear and confusion. ' I'll protect you Keyth.' She said to him, his eyes still struck with complete awe as his hands began to shake. The clocked man watched her incoming attack and smirked as he put his right hand into the air. " PROTECTGA!" White Magick that conjures up invisible armor made of air to protect the body from direct blows. So when the blows would simply disperse once they came into contact with the massive summon. " Impressive. So she is the one of legend. That means that with her apperance there is yet another threat to be known. After two hundred and 70 years of peace. It seems as though war is right at our footsteps again." The cloaked man finally pointed down at the two of them as he said. " Ok! NOW TO REALLY TEST YOU! KAGEMARU FLOOD!" Flood is an offensive spell that does Water-elemental damage. It typically targets all enemies, and is usually the replacement for the spell Water in the games that it does not appear in. Kagemaru rose it's massive hands and clapped them together, and the moment he opened his massive palms. A huge water orb sat in the middle of his hands swirling with concentrated energy as he soon pushed it all forward. And like a Tsunami it began to blast forward from the heavens of the beasts hands. " Th-.. THAT CHI!" It'd cover everything in a 10 mile radius it seemed. " Even... my power... doesnt equal to that. AGGGGGGGHHH!!!!!!" He'd shout at the top of his lungs again as the marking on his hand would start to glow again as a burst of wind errupted from his person. He hadnt realized it but he would be giving her a spell command without fully realizing it. Activating Tremor so that a massive earth quake would break forward infront of them and cause a ghyzer to errupt within the ground infront of them in a horzontal line for 10 miles out making the water flush down to create a canal it seems. That's if the impulse was passed through.

Diversity: At the command felt from Seiketsu Senku-sha’s summoner, the silvery fingers of the summon traced the Vanguard’s Secret. Golden energy poured from it until six different blades as they’d already returned to the summon’s form. They glowed and shot downwards, digging so deeply into the earth that they created massive fissures that gave the tsunami somewhere to drain. The blades jumped back up from the ground and as Seiketsu Senku-sha would run the Vanguard’s Secret, it began to glow with a bright, piercing silver. /Keyth, are you ready?/ Her voice radiated out to him. The glow of the Vanguard’s Secret was making the night light up as it began to unravel from the crystal in thousands of thin silky silver threads that began to fill the air. /Together, we shall end this…/ Michiko thought to him. Seiketsu Senku-sha’s now millions of power threads made it look phenomenal and beautiful. And as they spread, they began to flicker out of existence. One by one, rapidly. Suddenly the air felt cool and still, the blades glowing silver now as they began to fly out. They looked like they’d have been trying to attack Kagemura, but they weren’t. Instead they flew in wide dissonant arcs around the creature, and soon there was a mystical flickering all around them, between them, and before them. Millions of silver power threads had been woven around the summon Kagemaru. And at once, she moved her fingers across the Vanguard’s Secret, and all the blades shot outwards at once. The threads suddenly tightened. /Resplendent Binds/. The blades gave one last tug, shooting off in all directions though avoiding hitting bystanders, causing the threads to cut through the summon over and over, the tangled web becoming clean as it did so. The blades dissipated then reappeared around Seiketsu Senku-sha, as she waited for her next command or to be dismissed.

DeliriousAres: ((http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=LHQwMeLOsXs)) Kagemaru had become bewildered by the blades untill it litterally shattered like a massive glass. On the cloaked man's chest the summons marking appeared on his chest as it all flew into the center of his chest as he drifted to the ground, he'd land infront of the two with a smirk on his face. "...Well done. Keyth, my son. Michiko." Keyth blinked as he watched the cloaked man pull down the hood on his head to reveal no one other than... " Keyome Tasanagi. In the flesh..." ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6DdHEWRgwg)) BOOOOM!!!!! Keyth launched a punch into his dads jaw knocking him on his ass. Keyths face had been swollen and red. " YOU SON OFABITCH! WHO DOES THAT ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS SAY HELLO!" Keyome rose to his feet with a rose in his mouth as he winked at his son, a bandaid on the left side of his face. " Now what fun would that have been?" Keyome said stroking his long blue locks. " AND WHAT THE HELLS UP WITH THAT HAIR!? YOU GO ATTACKING ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND AND... Girlfriend..." It had been the first time he had said it to his realization. " Relax Keyth, i only did it to see if she was the one i was looking for.." " WELL SHE'S TAKEN ALREADY DIPSHIT!" " Not... what i meant." Keyome would facepalm himself as he shook his head left to right. " Look Keyth, you and Michiko play a big role this time around. No screwing around i can get introuble just for talking to you two out here. Luckily for you, you have that cloaking device. But im sure Hachiman's already on to me. But i know he secretly has my side on this. Dispell her summon form Keyth, you dont want her to stay like that." Keyth would look at her with a confused look on his face before he looked back at Keyome. " What is she.... and how do i even do that... what happened to Michiko. Why did she become this..." Keyome turned around crossing his arms. " All will be explained later.Just simply say her name, and tell her to return. She'll resort back to her orginal form." Keyth turned back around to Michiko, nodding his head he'd say loudly enough. "Seiketsu Senku-sha RETURN!" And if she did, they'd both follow behind Keyome, accidentally leaving Kakubo and Jason behind.
