Kotobasa Hollow | Insects

[Kondo Kaicho]

Masato would move directly towards the man before them. As they neared he would seem distracted. Masato would use this as the opportunity to subdue him quickly. " Hold still " he whispered to Zhi and Taylor who were directly behind him. In an instant, he would vanish. The body flicker technique would catch Shinsei by surprise as he stood unaware of his predatory envoy. As Masato appeared directly behind Shinsei he would deliver a powerful chop to the back of his night. A gasp would escape the man's mouth as he fell forward. As he fell forward, Masato grasped his arm, slinging him over his shoulder.

Masato looked back to Zhi and Taylor, leaping and appearing before him just a moment later. " Lets go back. Your name is cleared today." With that, his crimson eyes swirled as a portal tore into time and space, giving them a transport back to the Uzukage's office.

"If You're Going To Dance With The Devil..."

Zanza stopped right as he was about to touch the shoulder of the person standing before him. The brick shifted and showed through with the unnatural lighting. His first thought of how this cave system was behind such a wall he'd known most of his life, it didn't just appear there, or did it? He was purely confused, but he wouldn't get a chance to express his confusion as the being quickly turned which then made Zanza turn. It was a weird feeling, the spinning it was as if he was flying to a degree. It didn't help that his body hit the ground a little hard. Falling on soft dirt, and cracking a couple of sticks as he landed. "Oww." He spoke, his body rising up to sit up. His right arm lifted to the back of his head as he rubbed it for a moment before gaining his senses. Looking up he could hear a voice as well as a laugh? Seeing the person from before they were standing over him hand extended down to help, and their face was melting off. Scurrying backwards Zanza seemed a little worried now. He didn't recognize the area, nor did he know the person before him. Was he in a genjutsu? Why was their face falling off. "Wha-...What's going on?! Where am I? What did you do?" He glanced around a little bit more, his expression was easily seen as someone that was worried. He wasn't scared by any means, but cautious yeah a little. "I'm....alright..." He hesitated to answer the person, well they weren't attacking him, or at least didn't resonate a hostle presence about them. Pushing against the ground Zanza stood up, brushing off some of the dirt and stay moss that had caught on his clothes. "What about the village?"

Oh he was confused, how precious! With another plop of skin falling onto the ground Alliyah figured there wasn't going to be much more need of the disguise. It was time to meet her hero face to face anyway. Delicate fingers digging into the skin on the side of her face the woman torn off the rest of the mask and let it fall to the ground while she fluffed out her bright red hair from being trapped in her shirt. "Oh love you've no idea how uncomfortable it is wear fake skin, it gets so stuffy under there!" Biting her lower lip the red haired girl took a step forward for every step that Zanza had take back until she was uncomfortably close as she could get. "Now now my little blueberry there's no need to worry! I just wanted same alone time with you~ You see, you are a very special person! And you know why that is? It's because you came to me even though you didn't have any reason to." Then taking a pause to whisper into the boy's ear she continued. "So, I wanted to reward you." And then scuttled away before Zanza could do anything to bat her away. "Just think of me as a spirit who loves seeing people make interesting choices! Now I should warn you that this is home of the Centipede King and he is going to PISSED that you're here. Buuuuut if he see's the same thing I see in you I think you both could benefit from each other." Once she finished speaking Alliyah swung her arm out in an over dramatic fashion to display to way forward though the cave before she resigned herself to simply leaning against the cave wall and humming a tune.

"If You're Going To Dance With The Devil..."

Zanza stood there and watched as the person reached up grabbing hanging flesh and ripping it from their body? Skull? Zanza really was confused until their head raised and they revealed their true self. It was a woman with bright red hair. His eyes narrowed somewhat looking at her as she then quickly made up the ground between them, without enough time to react Zanza was straight straight into the woman's eyes as she stood inches away from him. Her voice running through the air like silk as she spoke towards him. Talking about wearing fake skin. Well that would explain the skin melting. But she continued on, mentioning that she wanted some alone time with the boy and that he was special to some degree. What did that even mean? "Wait what?" He stumbled over his words, was she talking about him trying to warn her about the evacuation announcement? She then quickly back away from him, his arms crossed over his chest as he stood clearly he was suspicious of the woman. But he was interested as well; after all she had managed to flawlessly get both of them away from the danger zone of the village, but now they were in some murky cave system. "Centipede king? Wait, so something made this cave?" He had this horrible picture of a large insect crawling through this cave with a body consuming the entire space all the way from the floor to the ceiling and from wall to wall. "Did you just call me an Insect? And who are you?" He asked considering she was comparing him to the 'King' of the centipedes. Though she seemed to take a jovial stance next to the cave wall. "Am I suppose to follow the cave?" He asked dropping his arms as he began to walk forward and passed her, going forth into the depths of the cave system. "You're coming too right?" He asked out of concern, he didn't need a giant bug trying to eat him; especially if it made this cave.

"Boy you sure do ask a lot of questions hun! You can't really expect me to do all the work can you? Listen I gotta bounce but don't worry you got this!" Without so much as answering a single question The red haired girl stepped right on through the earth and vanished without a trace. It looked as though she intended from him to fight and survive after so cruelly dropping the boy off in the middle of nowhere. What a b***h. Replacing her however were the heavy footfalls of a beetle come grudgingly down the cave from the opposite direction Alliyah had directed Zanza in. From just a glance it was impossible from tell exactly what kind of beetle he was but one could probably take a good guess and say he was the whatever kind grew up to be as big as an adult human. Sad mumbles and grumbles could be heard from as he passed by the boy without batting an eye. "Oh bother what's event he point anymore?"

"If You're Going To Dance With The Devil..."

having turned around a little bit to look at the red headed woman his face changed from calm to shock as she seemingly decided to leave him all alone, sinking into the wall and disappearing. He didn't expect her to do all the work, but he hadn't come to this place by choice, he had been trying to help her out in the village. And all she left him with was, be careful of the centipede king, he gets pissed real easy. But his attention was driven away from her sudden disappearance as he heard a rumbling up ahead. It looked as if a giant rock was sliding across the ground as it came towards him. Further inspection, Zanza realized it was a giant beetle. He stepped to the side of the cave as the creature came crawling down towards him. As it passed by him Zanza could of swore he heard it speak, but it wouldn't be the first time he'd heard a creature speak. After all he had met Mica earlier during the day. "Where....are you going?"

Without even pausing to look at him the beetle continued on it's path like he expected the boy to keep up with him if he really wanted to hold a conversation. Not that such a thing would be hard considering the speed at which he was travelling. Then with a long drawn out sign he responded. "I'm trying to rush to report to Yashul of the state at the drop. He doesn't like it when I'm late. Not that I ever make there on time anyway.." Turning his head as he much as he could before he was stopped by his exoskeleton, he asked in a droopy tone. "Are you one of those pesky humans looking to make a contract? You'd better hurry a long then, if you interrupt Yashul during his feeding he won't be none too pleased." After this the beetle continued on his walk without making it clear if he might for Zanza to follow him or go off on his own, although he did seem to at least be heading in the same direction as him for whatever that meant. No matter what he choose to end up doing the cave that he had been following thus far would open up into a large strech of forest as far as the eye could see. Clearly he was still underground, and yet this place was capable hosting an entire ecosystem of trees all feeding off of the light emitted from the glow moss the grew along the cave walls. Probably quite disorienting for one who couldn't see the actual cave wall beside them going up as it looked exactly like the surface.

"If You're Going To Dance With The Devil..."

Well wasn't he a ball of sunshine, Zanza took a few steps to catch up to the 'rushing' beetle as it headed the same way that he had already been walking. But Zanza caught a name, Yashul if he recalled correctly; he wondered who that was. Maybe they were like the woman that had transported him here, and maybe they could give him some information on how to get out cause the red headed lady made it seem clear that Zanza didn't want to see or meet this centipede king. But they he just walked beside the large beetle Zanza noticed him trying to get a look at him. Staring back the beetle mentioned some kind of contract. He would have asked him more about it but the beetle didn't seem like he was much of a talker to begin with. As they continued their stride the cave would open up more revealing that this place was just dark and damp, it was actually really beautiful. The bioluminescence of the trees and plants really made it stand out. But there was no sky to see. just an overgrown cave full of who knew what. "So if I keep following this path will I eventually get to Yashul?" Zanza asked still beside the beetle.

"Oh my no, that way would lead you straight into the centipede king." Nudging the the boy to left the beetle directed the boy towards what looked like a smaller subset of forest that was greatly darker in colour than the rest. On the fringes one would be able to make out what looked like perhaps? Strange considering there size.. whatever spider must have created them would have to be at least the size of a large man. Even stranger still was the fact that it seemed to be so far out of his way from his goal. "That's the direction you'll want to go in. Speak with Y'shendra the widow. You can go on ahead.. I'll just slow you down anyway.." Meandering over to a small mound the beetle seemed to sadly dig at the ground with his many legs and build up a small ball of dirt for whatever reason or another. Seemed to be a bit of a downer yeah? But from here it looked as though the path was for Zanza to decide. Would he listen to the beetle, whom he had just met and travel to this Y'shendra, or would he skip all of what sounded like nonsensical work and seek Yashul out in the heartland forest.

__ Where was she? She didn't remember when it had happened but she knew it was some time after she got off the boat following Byakko. Before she had realized it everything around her had turned black and now she was waking up in what seemed like some sort of cave. As she stood up from laying on the ground the cavern shook violently threating to knock her back down.

__ There came the sound of a deep growl that echoed throughout the cave. Around her she could hear the sounds of what sounded like many thousands of insects skittering and crawling about. A faint glow eminated from the walls as the only source of dim light. Curious about the light source Sascha walked up to the wall touching it. Upon touching it she found that it was soft, almost gooey, to the touch. What she didn't expect next were the eyes that suddenly appeared followed by the body of a centipede looking bug. Retracting her hand quickly from the shock of the surprise she came to realize that the light source was actually an egg growing an insect inside.

__ A voice called out to her. It was deep and echoed through the cavern. Or did it echo within her head she couldn't tell but there was no mistaking what it said. "Closer.... Come closer child.... I sense something about you.... familiar...." Not that she had many other choices but to listen to the voice so she would by starting to walk back the way she had come from to touch the wall. Before she knew it bugs and insects of different varieties crawled all over the floor and walls blocking her path unless she stomped all over them. Just as she was about to just step all over the bugs she decided that it was probably not in her best interest to do so. So she turned around and started walking the 'correct' path that had been chosen for her.

__ She could feel more then one pair of eyes staring at her. Some even felt like they would jump out and eat her at any moment. Regardless they seemed to stem their hunger, at least at the moment, for fear of something larger that had called upon her. The area around her would rumble again and she could almost feel something moving behind the scenes. Whenever she came to a fork in the tunnel the creatures around her made sure she knew which way to go.

__ She didn't know how long she had been walking for in the darkness with all these beings around her but the more she inspected them as she walked the more their world came alive to her. Every now and then she would pass by a hole in the wall on either side of her which would reveal larger bugs crawling this way or another. The deeper she went the more busy the insects seemed to be which made her curious but everytime she wanted to stop to watch them the cavern would shake urging her forward. The mysterious voice had not spoken to her again as she made her way down into the depths but something told her that it was watching her all the same.

__ Eventually she came to a large circular open room that had none of the glowing egg like sacks that had lit the cavern during her journey to the chamber. For some reason the room still carried with it a dim glow. Looking around she noticed several large holes in the walls that were quite a bit larger then any of the creatures she had seen on the way here. Another rumbling came from the cave and from the corner of her eye she saw movement but as the rumbling grew worse she could see something move through the holes in the walls weaving in and out of each set at great speeds. It was hard to make out what it was until she felt a presence behind her. Turning around she saw before her a hulking torso attached to what appeared to be a centipede like body. As his body rose into the air before her she could hear him take in a deep breath. "Ahh.... This scent.... It reminds me of a man I knew long ago...."
