Shinkenger the Clan Wars(RPG thread)

[MagiPink]

While preparations for her granddaughter’s surprise party went underway Tomo excused himself for the moment to check on Yukiko. Even if she was now rightfully the head of the clan now to him would always be his little girl and such worried when needed not to be. Folding his arms Tomo proceeded to walk down the outside long pathway thinking quietly. It seem only like yesterday he had came home from the hospital with the newborn child. Having lost both her parents the elderly man sought to keep the promise made to his daughter-in-law that Yukiko had a normal life. A normal life was not exactly he could entirely fulfill with the clans at war and Yukiko’s mixed blood. This was meant to be a happy occasion not dwelling on the what-not and what-ifs right now shaking his mind clear of all thoughts save for the present.

Tomo soon came in front of the double closed doors of Yukiko’s bedroom checking his wristwatch. It was not too uncommon for Yukiko to stay in bed a little longer when they had no students or matters she must attend too. He had only found that it was rather unhealthy for Yukiko to be sleeping for this long. Before he could even lift his hand to knock on the wooden frame until one of the Kuroko inside the room open the door for him. Much to his surprise the head clan was not still in bed, but at her desk working on something instead.

“Good afternoon Sofu†Yukiko spoke dipping the fude back into suzuri, “Is there something that I can help you with?†In this form of calligraphy one must pay full attention for a simple misplace stroke of the kanji writing could alter its intentional meaning. When she was pleased with the final product brought the fude down to the right corner of the paper.

“I was wondering if you would like to come out of your room now and enjoy this beautiful day with your grandmother, while I attend to few matters here.†Tomo replied keeping his true motive hidden. “It is such a nice day that she'd thought like to visit the city. Maybe see a movie? Or stop by that new soba shop later this afternoon.†This had caught Yukiko’s attention greatly for if there is one thing she enjoyed the most was a good soba shop. As instantly he had mentioned it her look shifted into a more questionable one. “Without the Kuroko†he added in defense.

“Hmmm…Sure.†Yukiko nodded her head in acknowledgement, “That sounds like fun….oh no…†In her haste the young woman accidentally caught the sleeve of her kimono into the suzuri spilling the black ink across the finished painting. Her crimson eyes sullen and sighed heavily “….A bad omen†she muttered quietly. Whenever something like that occurred Yukiko could only decipher today that something was about to happen. What exactly was unknown.. While Yukiko was left to her fault the Kuroko went about cleaning up the spill.

Ren nodded at Yamiyo's suggestion, trying to deflect her emotions at the moment. Can't trust me? Tch...fine...I'll pass this stupid little test of yours... Before she could do much else, Isamu was taking care of some woman that wanted the guild's service and Yamiyo also left soon after. I suppose I can implement the plan now...as soon as Isamu is done talking of course...can't be "rude"... Ren didn't know why she had to be polite, since all that training on manners seemed of little use now to her. I'd like to follow Yamiyo, but I have no clue where he went...bah...too bad...I need to slash something...

-----------------------------

Seeing the chalk headed toward her, Ayumi caught in mid air, which was seen as impressive by her peers. Without saying anything, she got up and headed toward the chalk board. Sort of ignoring Setsuna, she did the problems herself. She probably didn't finish as fast as Setsuna would have, but she still did things rather well. She was one of the top students in the school before Setsuna came along, after all. After doing this, she was going to head back to her seat, but caught the sight of some of her Kuroko, who were making motions that Gedoushuu had been spotted.

"Sensei, may I be excused? I need to go to the bathroom..." It was probably a cheap lie, but it would have to do. "Ah, sure, Ayumi." Nodding at this, Ayumi proceeded to head out of the classroom and broke out into a run to get to the Gedoushuu. After some time, she made it to the spot, just as when Akira was transforming, taking cover, Ayumi looked on intently. The new ShinkenRed, huh....

"Pfft" Setsuna commented as the chalk was caught by Ayumi, he knew she would catch it. The girl has got good reflexes after all, but when she was solving the math equation he noticed something outside the window. "what now..." he thought a little irritated, because he was just not interested with those things right now. " Alright alright I'll go along too" he thought as Ayumi made some phony excuse to use the rest room. "Here is my opportunity" Setsuna thought and then made a big scene in the class.

" OH NO!! the Math equation must be too hard for Onee chan to handle, are you ok? Is your stomach alright!" Setsuna said in the most dramatic way possible and then stumbled his way quickly towards Ayumi, feeling her forehead " Sensei Sensei she's got a fever I'm going to escort her to the nurse office okay?" Setsuna said acting as if he was concerned. When the fact was that if Ayumi was in front of him sick and she couldn't fight back, he wouldn't hesitate to step all over her. He's not even sure why he hates her so much , nor why he calls her his sister. " Onee Chan Don't worry I'll take you to the nurse!" he said loudly Ignoring his classmates and cling to Ayumi to get out of class. On the other side of the closed door Setsuna snapped his hands off Ayumi and push her away alittle. " thanks for the escape onee chan, but it seem that there's a new red around" Setsuna stated the obvious, pushing random sentences on Ayumi for no reason. Obviously he thought that everyone else was slower then him so it was ok to repeat things to other people especially Ayumi.

Quickly getting into a defensive stance, Akira shouts "GOING FORTH!" And rushes towards the crowd of Nanashi Renju that awaited her. She immediately went in full force, cutting down Nanahi left and right with her ShinkenMaru. Soon she found herself in the middle of a swarm of Gedosshu

Normally I'd jump in and help Izumi thinks crossing his arms But lets see how well the successor to the Tomone name really does...


Akira looked to her left then to her right, a Nanashi came at her, sword high in the air, Akira ducks down elbows the Nanashi in the stomach, grabbing the Nanashi that now slumped over her body she quickly brings it down to use as a shield to block a barrage of in coming arrows while swatting away that any that may made it through. "Time to reverse this situation REKKA DAIZANTOU!" she cries, flames surround the Shinken Maru, as the tiny sword became three times it's original size. Bringing down the massive blade, she hacks and slashes away at the group, quickly clearing a path.

She relaxes a little, her Shinken Maru returning to it's regular form. This moment of hesitation allows Kagekamaru to come in for a quick attack. Akira's body reacts and blocks the attack, she brings the blade down to block another attack and a final which caused the two swords to lock. "You're good...for a woman!" He says "Flattery will get you no where." She says. Steadying her foot, she parries the swords and kicks the Ayakashi away. as Kagekamaru is kicked back, cracks started to appear on his body 'Damn...I'm drying up! We'll finish this next time..." He says disappearing through a crack in the floor, along with the remaining Nanashi.

"Splendid, that was absolutely marvellous, Akira-chan!" Her Jii says, a pair of Kuroko approaches her, in one hand was the fox mask she threw away, in the other a towel and some tea. Akira reverts back to her human form but before anyone could get a good glance at her face, she places her mask back on.

It was then that her Jii notices Izumi and smiles "It appears we are in the preseance of the other Clan heirs My Lord" He says "What you witnessed was the strength of the new Lord of the Tomone clan! You children can run along home, your services will not be required to defeat the Gendoshuu!" He says. Akira glances towards her Grandfather with a Tsk "Jii! That's enough! There's nothing to be gained trying to goad them" She says her eyes meet Izumis her mouth hangs That boy...why does he seem so familiar to me? And why does my heart hurt so much when I look at him?" She thinks.

Those words that old man said to the other heirs stung at Ayumi particularly. Not required? Ayumi did not do a 180 on her personality just so her services would not be "required". If this was the old Ayumi, she would of cursed out the old man and challenge Akira to a fight then and there. The current Ayumi, however, knew tact, and was a lot more polite about it. She bowed politely and only said a few words. "If you'll excuse me...." With that, she left to go back to her school, trying her best to ignore Setsuna, who seemingly tagged along with her. As for the bow she did, it was only out of respect, not out of any notion that she wanted to team up...she was still bound by her family's stance, after all.

 

[Dark Kabuto]

"Yes, I require your services" The hooded Woman said to Kage "There is a man I want dead, but he is quite a skilled fighter...it won't be easy to take him down" She says "I want you to kill Izumi Hidekata." She says passing him a photo of Izumi. "...he's the current Shinken Blue" She says

Setsuna watched as Ayumi, kind of just took things quietly. This wasn't Setsuna's style he was book smart, but he wasn't very smart when it came to dealing with the elder he has problems with or authority outside his own family. He took a look at the fox masked lay and then gave a glare at the old man. He crossed his arms and tapped his foot, he probrably did not seem like a threat because he was just a young kid, he was alittle short for his age group too. He then stomped his foot and pointed to the old man " ASK ME IF I GIVE A Shi-- old man, who wants to help Fox face anyways!" he said as he stuck his tongue out at them and then he speedly went after Ayumi to return to class. He walks after her placing he hands behind he head and following her closely. From afar they really do look like a brother and sister. "you know Ayumi, you could just lash out loud once in a while, it wasn't like that old man didn't deserve it"

Rather than permitting the sign of a bad omen taking an attachment in her thoughts went about slipping out of her formal clothes in favor of more comfortable clothing when going into the city. Dressed in a light cotton t-shirt with different shades of pink (the darkest being at the bottom reaching a soft shade of pink around the neckline) and embroidered denim pants with Sakura blossoms around the cufflinks. What she did not change was the ornaments holding her hair. They were far too sentimental reasons for the young Head Clan leader to be parted from. Yukiko thoughts were now diverted on exactly what reason of his own that her grandfather wanted them to head into the city. The old man was definitely up to something.

Yukiko’s suspicions were confirmed more or less when Tomo had them departs from the back side of the palace. The promise of the Kuroko not accompany them was not entirely met for only a few accompany them discreetly and yet felt their presence still. Yukiko masked it very well that she was more than relieved that they could get of their home for a change. Aside from what her grandfather plan wanted to check out more of the city than only going out to eat and see a movie. A little secret Yukiko wanted to see if there were any new manga series out for her reading pleasure.

By the time they had arrived in the city it was around the afternoon and traffic pack tight. Against her grandfather’s wishes for them to remain in the carriage walked amongst crowds on the sidewalks. It felt enriching to be out and about. As they walk past a nearby fish stand Yukiko could not help to over hear of an interesting conversation the owner was sharing with one of their patrons. Most of the conversation could not be pick up unless she moved in closer, but the young woman heard distinctly of some sort of creature and involvement of a red clad figure.

“Are you not enjoying yourself my child?” Yukiko’s grandmother stop to look at the selection of fish, no mistakenly selecting tomorrow night dinner. Yuki merely glance down for a moment and shook her head in disagreement. “That what is it? Are you so trouble over a spill ink?’

“Maybe just a little grandmother.” Yuki replied truthfully walking over towards her, “Just that even though I might have an idea what grandfather is planning at home. I would like this day to be over as easily.” This made her grandmother sad and fill Yuki with regret, “What I mean to say that a lot must be putting in whatever grandfather is so urgent to send us off and want him to relax.”

 

[Dark Kabuto]

When Setsuna made that comment, Akira's Grandfather turns towards him, shooting him the "Evil eye" look, his face becoming quite red. "You innocent little twerp! Speak that way to Akira-sama again I'll have to teach you some proper res"- Akira's grandfather was cut off when Akira raises her arm "Jii, that's enough. Truth be told, I expected this kind of reaction from the other clan members." She says, she turns to the those that were gathered and scans the area. "But listen to me! The threat of the Gendoshu is too great for the Tomone Clan, or any of the other clans to face alone!" She says "We have a common enemy...the Gendoshu I ask that you band with me to rid ourselves of the Gendoshuu threat!" Akira says

Izumi listened to Akira's speech and smiles "With all due respect...even if we wanted to join up with you...our clan Heads would forbid it from happening" Izumi says

 

[Zaku]

Setsuna just ignored the old man, he doesn't really care about what he had to say. But what did interest him was the Fox lady and what she wanted. For a small moment the thought of her becoming his servent to do this and that tasks for him has really got to him thinking. I'll help her if she help me right? ahaha the young boy could only think of such devious counters to his services if someone from other clans asked him for his service.

His more mature side on the other hand seem to care alittle bit more. But first soemthing was more interesting to him and that is the person walking in front of him. Stopping and making sure that the grandpa and the Fox lady could hear him talking he says out loudly " NE NE Ayumi Nee Chan? DO you wanna help Fox face out?" He said smiling afterwards letting out a chuckle.
