Hollow Fortress [Open] « Thread Started on Jun 27, 2007, 1:53pm »
((This battle is free for anyone to join, I just want some action right now))
The air was filled with the sharp, yet somewhat pleasing smell of ozone as the rain began to fall. A storm was coming, that was assured, the smell and the clouds overhead did nothing to hide that.
It always seems like it happens like this, moments of high drama are always filled with some sort of storm or Omen to the future. In this case, the Omen was just a bit to slow as Shichi stood outside of one of the temples of Konoha no Teikoku. His eyes were the size of Coke Bottles as he sat outside on the steps covered in Blood.. he knew that there was a reason that he didn't visit temples, but missions are missions.
His target had been the priest in charge of the temple. But, with the skill that Shichi possessed in his 'field' there was no explanation of what had happened. Blood lined the walls, dripped from the altars, and pooled along the floor (there was even a bit on the ceiling) and every member of the Temple had been murdered.
This was why the Omen was late, or maybe Shichi was just to early.. regardless the deed had been 'done', it didn't have the finesse that was wanted/expected.... but the head priest was dead. And as the first errant flash of lightning cut its way across the sky, Shichi stood up and turned to walk away. That was when he heard someone.

The blood from the ceiling dripped methodically as it the ground. The aroma of blood floated throughout the air with its enticing taste filling the mouth of a young black haired boy. The child sat in a corned sitting down with his knees to his chin. The child stared at the floor that was painted with an endless supply of blood. The child grinned before he began to laugh quietly to himself. The child then held up his wrist to his face and licked the blood off it before standing up grabbing his sword which sat next to him on the ground.
The demonic child then began to walk slowly towards the unknown presence with his face looking at the ground. The shadows hid his gruesome face from reality with only his third eye on his forehead visible as it searched through the room. The child then put his hand up against the wall of the stone corridor he was walking through, his elongated nails scraping across the surface creating a horrible noise. The child then raised his head to see the presence.
“Food. Delicious food.” The demonic child thought as he looked at his lunch with a disturbingly interesting stare. His cat like eyes focused in on the human with his third eye wide open as it observed the ninja. “What is this? The man from before. How delightful revenge and food in the same package. Those priests weren’t very delectable. I can already taste his soft human flesh in between my teeth as I lick the blood off the roof of my mouth, sticking to it like molasses while it droops down on my tongue. How enticing, I can barley control myself.”
The boy’s eyes squinted as it narrowed down on the head. “Ah the best part of the human body. The frightened look on my dinner’s eyes before they are decapitated is to die for.” The child then began to laugh once more before it made a dash towards the man.
(Keep in mind that I'm in the first tailed form and I just got through eating. This means Sendo is not himself and his demon has dominate influence.)

Shichi's highly developed ears, both by Ninja training and other means, picked up on the arrival of his intruder. "Food? Where, you can't be thinking of me... He said as he slowly turned around to face the intruder on this 'holy' place.
Taking into notice his demonic Shichi ascended the stairs and crossed the threshold back into the Temple. "Heh, under this sort of circumstance I want to say something about..." He took a moment to think, shifting his stance and placing his hand on his chin "... Defiling this holyist of holy places. But honestly.... that stands to reason, if this place could ever be holy again" He made an experimental poke at humor, partially to assuage what he had done, and partially because it was just his personality.
"Anyway, when faced with a being such as you.... I have... a better question. Just what the HELL are you" He said, remotely interested. All the while he realized that this person, presumably an eye-witness... would now have to become part of his cleanup of this entire mess. The conversation in itself stood as just a distraction so that his opponents untimely end could come in an efficient and timely manner.

The words of his opponent escape even Sendo’s ears as he focused only on the kill. The aroma of blood, the smell of a fresh live human body, and his anticipation of the first and maybe final blow. It was too much to bear and Sendo was so caught up in the moment he began to forget to use strategy instead of brute force. Sendo then stopped his mad dash and rose to his feet. He then stood fully erect making a sadistic smile leaning his head to the right as if it were forced into that position.
Then suddenly the shadows emitted from various objects closed in on Sendo and consumed him, creating a cape of darkness around him. The shadow then fell back into the ground and with that Sendo was gone. The shadow then floated on the floor as if it were a pool of water. Then it parted into three individual shadow pools which soon turned into clones made of pure darkness in the shape of his opponent. Each had glaring red eyes that were equally malicious while grinning showing their spike white teeth.
Sendo remained hidden as he watched from above hidden in the ceiling with only his piercing green cat eyes visible. Sendo watched with a sick interest that could only be felt by someone like him. His shadows creatures then slowly began to close in on their prey as they growled. Then once they were within range all three lunged at the opponent. One from the backside, another from the front, and the final one from the right side.

The person didn't answer his question. Shichi, thinking that that was VERY rude of him decided that he would 'play' just a bit before ultimately ending him. "Alright then, if thats how you want to be" he said coolly as he grabbed for the broach holding his dingy, blood stained, beige cloak.
His opponent began to perform.. something... Shichi wasn't exactly sure. His technique looked like nothing he had ever seen, or read about but it wasn't like that was the first time anything like that had ever happened. Within moments literal Shadow clones of him existed. His eyes grew large, like a child's realizing that death was imminent |Are... these... Kuro Kuro-n| He initially thought, until he realized that they... unlike the Kuro Kuro-n didn't possess his same Chakra Signature... however he was interested in learning exactly what this Jutsu was.
Deciding to stay away from using some of his 'darker' powers from the jump, Shichi formed a quick strategy in his mind. It was quick enough, brutally efficient, and if he pulled it off as he wanted to utterly inescapable. He pulled off his cape, and tossed it to the wind.
His eyes hollowed out and became gray. The Wind, which was stagnant to the point of Nonexistance in the temple, began to pick up. Shichi held out his hand and water began to pour from it. When there was a nice amount of water on the floor, throughly washing away and mixing with the blood, Shichi quickly formed a string of Handseals. The Blood/Water mix began to bubble up and began to form into Mizu Bunshin. When all was said and done, 4 Mizu Bunshin stood directly infront of Shichi. He even went the extra length to make sure that they had clones of his stick-weapon so that they may do battle against the 3 Dark clones.
"Well, isn't this interesting" Shichi said, his voice more distinctively distant. "Those things against my Water clones... I am just.. giddy.. with excitement" He bent down and placed his hands on the ground and more water poured out along the floor of the church.

Sendo watched in amusement as his opponent performed a most interesting Jutsu. A blood sacrifice and water summoning all uses to create some clones and provide him with a source of water for the remainder of the battle. Once the clones were fully formed Sendo caused his clones to sink into the ground once more and then just like a snake kills its prey, out each clone’s shadows rose four dark tendrils which firmly began to wrap around their victim. Their cold grip attempted to crush them and with that Sendo appeared behind his opponent, rising out of the ground crouched down on one knee.
Sendo still on one knee with his face looking at the ground said “Sorry to ruin your fun but I always told not to play with my food and you’re no exception.” Sendo rose to his feet and unsheathed his sword holding it out towards his opponent with one hand firmly gripping it. Suddenly the world around Sendo began to shake and he dropped his sword. Sendo then grabbed his head with both of his hands as he shook it left and right as he tried to regain control of his body.
“You’re getting in the way! Let me finish this.” Nekomata said. “This is my body.” Sendo then fell to his knees and slowly his entire body began to become coated in a black coat of fur and his eye began to glow purple. His teeth began to become more canine then human and his nails became a feet long. Then just as thunder shakes the Earth a might roar was let out with the final part of the transformation. Two black wings exploded out of Sendo’s back each one was just as big as his body. Sendo then got on all fours and stared his opponent in the eyes.
He then looked at the clones with his piercing green cat eyes and stepped forward. Then at a speed that could not be matched he dashed towards the clones in an attempt to strike them down.

"Alright..." Shichi said as his opponent dropped his weapon. "I guess everything can happen atleast once" He said, his tone of voice returning to its natural form.
It was then that his opponent decided it would be best to go after his Mizu Bunshin. His eyes followed his opponent during his dash, the timing had to be perfect so he had to pay attention. Along his opponents dash Shichi had began to form handseals, his timing was on point and when his opponent was finally reaching the clones he activated his Jutsu.
"Welcome to the Final Layer!" He said as the blood-water began to flow into the air forming reaching tentacles in all directions. "Cocytus" He muttured as the blood-water froze over the reaching tentacles turning into deadly spikes. The best part of all this was of course, when his water clones exploded... they too would become a part of this Jutsu.
