Lake Placid (open)

[Yami Kaguya]

Yami narrowed her down with his eyes, her frown became deeper, why was she frowning like that? Was she deciding if she was going to let Yami go unharmed? It didn't look like that, Yami detected some movement of her hands, she was about to do something, has she did a couple of hand seals Yami was preparing his body, by the long distance separating them, she was sure to use a long-range atack... Yami was right, right after she concluded her hand seals, needles came out of her mouth, like some shark's eyes, Yami's eyes finally gained life, the eye became more vivid and the white part of the eye could finally be seen, with a satisfied grin he whispered "Karamatsu no Mai", has the needles became closer to him he began spinning in mid-air, when the needles were finally at the range of his bones, Yami made them grow rapidly. They were all over his body, his arms, his legs, his chest and his back. To protect his head he covered it with his arms.
The bones were being hid by the rotation, they looked like an extension of his body.
When the jutsu ended he spinned for a while so he had time to put the bones into their right place.

Yami fell with his feet on the ground, although he wasn't standing up straight, his back was a bit leaned, his face was facing the ground, his now vivid eyes were looking down.

What do you want in Kirigakure?! Where are you from!? What is your name!? Why should I let you pass?!

Yami's laugh echoed through out the lake, when he used his bones back there it triggered his blood lust, he didn't care if she saw what he could do or not, he just wanted to kill her now... That way his secret would be hidden.
Finally he directed his face to her, his grey shark like eyes looking into hers, Don't worry... I'll tell you everything! I want information on the reigning mizukage! My motherland was Mizu no Kuni, just like you! My name is Yami! And I couldn't care less if you let me pass or not! I will finish what I came here for!, he stood up, not has crazy has before, but his eyes continued the same.
Now do what you want... If you let me pass, then step away, but if you want to kill me or capture me... By all means... TRY IT!, Yami cracked his neck, he wanted blood now... Lots and lots of blood.

[Yuzumi Setsuzen]

Yuzumi's eyes narrowed as the boy displayed some elaborate defensive jutsu. It had taken her by surprise a little as she had thought he'd use something like this before now had he known it.uzumi's eyes narrowed as the boy displayed some elaborate defensive jutsu. It had taken her by surprise a little as she had thought he'd use something like this before now had he known it. Something about the boy changed drasticly after his needle stopping maneover. He seemed more agressive, more disregarding of consequences. Any thoughts of letting him pass were removed from her mind instantly.

His laughter rang throughout the woodland which irritated Yuzumi and re-enforced her initial impression of him. He was disrupting and most worthy of a kick in the teeth. His eyes gleamed with a new lease of life as he stood facing her. She was not going to let him pass. He was showing a much more threatening side of himself now. He was too dangerous to be allowed near the village. She kept her sight on his, watching his body language out of the corner of her eye as she slowly backed towards the lake. The mist was begining to thin out now so she could see him quite distinctly despite backing away from him. When she reached the lake she continued out on to it, concentrating chakra round her feet to make her steps as solid as they would be on dry land. Over water she was in her element.[/size]

[Yami Kaguya]

Yami stood there, watching her, he was ready if she were to atack again, the frown became a very aggravated expression... It seemed there wasn't a chance in hell she would let Yami pass... Well if Yami can't pass beside her, he'll just have to pass through her.
It seemd she wasn't gonna atack Yami, not yet anyways, she kept backing up to the lake, why would she do it? That was a easy question. She wanted to gain advantage using the enviorment... That could be a problem, she was probably a Suiton user, that's why she was approaching the lake. Yami grinned, that would make things more difficult for him, although it would be funnier...

Yami's Kimono upper part was full of holes, they were made when he used his bones to defend himself. With a small feint laugh, he took it off, throwing it to the ground, if he was going to battle it would be best if he didn't have the upper part difficulting his movements. A few lines of blood could be seen through out his flesh, whenever he used his Kekkai Genkai, it would always hurt like hell! But he was already used to it.
He cracked his neck, then he smiled at her, his now livid eyes watching her between the mist, I'm interested to see what you are really capable of..., he said has he circled the lake, he wasn't dumb, he wasn't just gonna jump in, first because he didn't have a good control over his chakra and second, she was in her element.

[Yuzumi Setsuzen]

This whelp had no idea what he was messing with. "Wanted to see what she was capable of"? She'd show him and she'd make him wish he had just gone home when she told him too. Despite her fury, Yuzumi found herself smiling. There was something about this boy something different that she fgured would make him a challenging opponant, even for a skilled jounin like herself. The thought of a decent fight was exciting, the thought of him crying out in pain as she beat him was enough temptation to warrant a second attack.

She watched as he removed the top layer of his clothing, revealing the bloody streaks. They caught her attention, there was definetly something up with this kid, her needles may have hit him and then been deflected but it was unlikely this much bleeding was the result. She kept her steely eyes on his as she felt the blood lust of her own sadisticness rising.

Without a doubt, standing over the lake made it evident she was a suiton user. And so the boy would likely be expecting some form of water attack. Without any particular haste Yuzumi formed the needed handseals to produce Kirigakure No Jutsu - Hidden mist jutsu. It was already misty around them but now what little visabilty the had was gone. The fog thickened and enveloped them completely. She new exactly where he was standing, directly in front of her, albeit on the shore. Movement would create noises and so should he try and pass her in the fog she would be able to detect it. This was a jutsu common to most shinobi of her village and so she, like all the others, was skilled in moving close to silently to strike out of the mist without being seen.

Another quick handseal created a bunshin of herself to step loudly out over the water to her left. A distraction. She allowed some time for the clone to do it's job and make the boy think she had moved away before she put her real plan into action. She listened intently for any sounds on his part and when she was certain of his positon she launched her attack. A string of quick, accurate handseals was performed, followed by a sprouting jet of flame from Yuzumi's mouth. Karyuu Endan - Fire Dragon Flame Projectile. She highly doubted he'd be expecting this. The torrent of fire appeared as a huge dark shadow in the mist as it hurtled towards the boy in his current position. All the while she was still listening with keen ears to follow his movements.[/size]

[Yami Kaguya]

This was going to be a difficult task... She was probably a high ranked kirigakure shinobi, her cockiness reflected that. She also seemed to calculate, she wasn't dumb, she had already come up with a plan, probably. Yami wasn't in his element, it's been a long time since he last fought in this conditions, although he already expected she would use the mist to her advantage, she was a kirigakure shinobi so the most likely technique she would use, would be the signature technique, Kirigakure no Jutsu. Yami watched her do the hand seals, he recognized them right away... A smile appeared on his lips, he knew it, all those stupid shinobi's would use that cowardly technique. The shinobis that ambushed Yami and his mother all those years ago also used that technique. The only way his mother could win was to calm down and use all the other senses...

Yami did so, he shut his eyes and focused at his surroundings. He could feel her presence at the lake, she was right in the middle. Although after a bit he started hearing steps on the water, she was leaving the lake?! Yami pondered, if she was a Suiton user, then she would probably want to stick in her element, she didn't know what Yami's element was, frankly not even Yami knew it.
But it was strange...Why would she leave the lake and fight Yami on the shore?... Yami standed ground, he didn't know what to do and it was best he stayed there so he wouldn't make any noises. Suddenly he felt restless, he felt a change in the atmosphere, he opened his eyes and saw something bright coming his why, at first he thought it would be a exploding kunai, but no it moved a bit slower and it felt warm. What the hell?! Wasn't she a Suiton user?!,Yami made the bones from his arms grow rapidly, seeing it was a ranged jutsu there wasn't any need for them to be really tough. He made a shield which covered the most important parts of his body. Has the flames where about to hit him he knelled down and protected himself from the flames. They were a bit weaker due to the mist, although they were still pretty strong. Yami was flinching and the bones where almost incinerated. He grew them too fast so they didn't have enough time to harden right.
When the fire jutsu stopped he quickly stood up. The bottom of his long hair was almost burned and his cheeks were a bit burned has well. There were also a few parts he couldn't protect right and so they were slightly burned.
He pointed all of his fingers at the source of the jutsu and bone bullets came out of they're tips. They were faster then kunais due to their aerodynamic shape, they could also pierce through a huge tree log. He was still perfecting them so he could pierce through rock. Since the jutsu made a partial part of the fog disappear he could see the figure of the girl in the middle of the lake, although shortly after the mist engulfed her again. Yami showed a smile, if she was in the middle of the lake, whatever was making noises at the shore was probably a Mizu Bunshin. Now he had to monitor two of them...
To avoid another atack Yami dashed away from that place, he was very silent and no noise could be heard.

[Yuzumi Setsuzen]

The first thing Yuzumi did upon ending the fire jutsu was leap out of the way of the oncoming projectiles. As he could see her so could she see him and she had watched him until the small white objects had burst forth from his finger tips. She didn't hesitate to wonder what they were or what jutsu he was using she simply dodged. As she leapt up and to the left she found her reactions were a tad too slow. Two of the bone bullets bit into her flesh. One in the arm and one in the thigh. Instantly the new wounds stung like red hot pokers had been thrust through her flesh. She snarled with pain but quickly regained her focus. To avoid falling into the lake she would need to act as fast as possible.

In her leap she made a sort of twisted flip at the same time as focusing chakra to her hands in the same manner she had done to her feet. When she landed on the waters surface once more she balanced her body upright on her hands. It was only a few moments before she flipped back onto her feet and ran with a newly aquired limp towards her bunshin. It was not a real clone, she only needed it to confuse the boy when it came down to locating her. She knew he'd be on the move and that he'd be listening for her as the mist closed in once more. She stoppped as she grew level with the clone. At this point staying near it would give him an advantage, but, when she parted ways with it again he would not know which one was real. With the clone beside her she moved back into the middle of the lake. The bunshin stopped here and Yuzumi moved towards the far shore stopping before she reached the shallows.

Once more she performed an accurate string of handseals, again she performed the torrential fire jutsu, Fire Dragon Projectile Technique. This time she turned in a semi-circle to spread the flame along the shore on this corner of the lake. She had lost his location again so not focusing on any particular point would hopefully flush him out or catch him randomly. The clone in her previous position at the centre of the body of water called out into the fog.
"You'll pay for that!" It called out in her harsh tones.
Before ending the jutsu, the real Yuzumi broke into her limping run, keeping the torrent of fire on the shore as she ran past. She ran almost half way round the lake before she stopped to catch her breath. Blood was trickling from the wounds and sweat condensed on her forehead from the strain of continuing her jutsu and sprinting on a sore leg. She was unsure of his location still but she couldn't keep wasting her energy like this in attempts to find him and flush him out or else she'd be too tired to be of any use.
