He purposely tipped some from the poked she was giving him. He let out a short laugh. "What kind of fighter kills himself? Some loser most likely." He let out another laugh slowly moving towards the hanging man. "Let's have a closer.." Hiko's eyes shot open as he noticed the now empty tree. Where had the body gone? All that remained was the white scarf slowly whistling in the breeze. He couldn't speak just stare at the tree.
She waited with her arms crossed "Whats wrong........ Shinto............ lose your doll? ..........If you don't remember, I'm the master of all man made objects, I know whats real....... and what isn't. So get out of that descize and tell me whats going on with you? Are you faking that dumb struck exression aswell or is there another reason?" She was beginning to grow impatiant with Shinto and his so called tricks. She was affended that Shinto didn't know that she knew it was black magic. Remember her dagger still in the tree before, she put up a hand, and as if the weapon was magnitized it came strieght to her. The hilt landed in her hand and she quickly put it away. "I'm smarter then I look Shinto,I can even use the weapons you have on you, agianst you, don't foget that". and with those words she began walking away slowly, waiting for Shinto to reply.

::Jacope hugged amarick too but he didnt want to start anything to makle her mad but he was pretty mad about Codac killing his only loved one and now shes gone for a long long long time::
He let a brief sigh escape his lips. The hanging man had risin and walked away. That wasn't supposed to happen on his list of moral items. As for the weapon control, it seemed she only had it over physical objects. That would strike her a problem. Enough disguises, quietly removing the dark gaurd he watched it transform back into the old shoulder gaurd Shinto had been using before. His face now revealed again he turned facing her. Jade eyes staring at her form all sense of comical behavoir left him. An eerie sort of serious almost mocking behavior leaked off his form. He still seemed strange though clad in nothing but black. If he were to place the gaurd back on himself he would most likely seem to disappear. Reaching into his pouch he withdrew the last two ninja's of north and south's face gaurds dropping them at her feet. "I have no doubt you recognize those gaurds. Two, and six as in North and South. The eagle and bear have fallen before they could even kiss the morning." The sound of the two masks falling seemed to echo as Shinto stared quietly white hair drifting slowly.
She stared at the masks for a brief moment and then looked back at Shinto. " Thier deaths don't concern me, although it is a pity of their pacing;the elders will find a new guardian for the north and south bourders. Thats just the way it is.......... and I fear the same will happen to us aswell........ in time....." She looked at the masks agian " When you say they died before they could kiss the morning, do you mean they were killed in thier sleep or they both just died in their sleep." She crossed her arms under her chest, leaning to oneside with her head cokked at Shinto and his scared face. She went off track with the subject when she saw him unmasked. He was kinda cute, the scar on his eye made him look stronger and rougher. But she didn't dare say that out loud, expiecally to someone she had fought 5 minutes ago. "You know your not supposed to show your face to anothe guardian?"
"Their deaths may not concern you, how it happened might. I was witness to the eagle's death. He was basically absorbed into utter darkness. Nothing was left save for this souless mask." Tossing them both at Amarick to give her a better look he remained somewhat quiet still trying to recollect the event. The eagle had put up an almost unbelievable fight though the shadows still consumed him. Shinto himself was as if ignored. He had an assumption one had to be within their own territory for the creature to be attracted. That final scream, it hadn't been of eagle's more or less of the dark. "Amarick..what do you know of shadows?"
She didn't look or cetch the mask when they were tossed to her. She merly let them hit her and fall to the ground. "I know alot about shadows, Shinto, I've leaved in it before. The military labs is where the shadows first found me, in the cell I had to live in....... but they didn't take me.... mybe its because sense I left the labs I have naver been normal, mybe sence I'm not normal they can't posses me. Either way I have seen the shadows with my own eyes aswell." Her voice seemed unhealthy when she revealed this to Shinto. " I don't fear the shadows.......... It was my home once."
Shinto slowly matched her gaze seemingly not bothering with questions. "If you indeed have been changed. What makes you so sure that the elders will still accept you as the ninja of the west? An impurity might not settle with the wise ones. It seems apparent that you were captured by the military. You couldn't escape, or find any other means of leaving the cage. You waited for them to make you stronger then kill them? Or were you to afraid to find another means of leaving?" Shinto quietly shifted some wondering why she was staring at him so. He shifted his head showing the cross scar as well. One of the past more or less as he gazed towards the woods. "I am sorry Amarick. These are somewhat troubled times.."
"The elders have done nothing to sese my guardianship, and if they wanted me to stop gaurding the West I'm sure they would have brought someone by now. " She went to another subject "I couldn't escape the lab at first because....... I was only a child then. But when I realized I didn't belong there I escaped through the piping. As strange as it seems the shadows lead me out. I had no intention of killing anyone but the people who killed my clan, but the only way to get them was to blow up the inter lab. So I did. I fount the weapons I have now, in the ruble of the lab. And the skill I posses now, I had learn't on my own........ I've told you to much about my past....... " She put out a hand over the masks and they began to drag across the ground back to Shinto. "I know its troubling,........... its always been. But sometimes you have to realize when your time is up, mybe it was their time to leave. Mybe it was the elders the sent the shadows to kill the north and south ninjas to bring in a new generation? Are we next? who knows?
All we can do is go on with our lives until we no longer exist. Another after the other I geuss you could say." She sighed still looking at him constantlly
Shinto seemed silent at these conversation peices. He listened quietly though slipping his original white mask on. His face now covered he was free to commit to any facial gesture he pleased. Quietly stooping he lifted the two masks slowly slipping them away from view. He shouldn't hold on to these much longer. His mood could be best described as upset or uneasy. The elders worked in their own ways, it might be so that the shadows were sent by them. How so was it that killing off already capable gaurdians. New age..Shinto's mask seemed to glare at the mechanic industry that sorrounded the area. The east was as well the west in all means. Seeming to drift to this business. Without a word Shinto leapt seeming to vanish from view. In all means he was merely going to a task which he should of down. Drawing one of his two swords he plunged it into the earth. The rock had been hard but a loud crack would sound as Shinto's sword buried in the earth about half way. Quietly withdrawing the two masks he placed them ceremonialy amongst the hilt of his sword. Dropping to a kneel he placed his hands together waiting for utter silence. "I'm truly sorry, perhaps this age has come to an end friends. Let you be the ones to achieve this vision of the young. I would gladly surrender to the shadows to bring you two back." He ended in a silent prayer and chant. He hoped that no one was bound to come across this sight and desecrate it. The sword itself should be strong enough to devulge the darkness of prying eyes. At the finish he slowly went from kneel to knees letting himself hit the ground. If this was truly how things were meant to be then he wouldn't object. Let him die and not see the full scale ending of the age held in such high respect. He quietly nuzzled his head into the ground the sword remaining ever so silent as a demanding reminder. Shinto was slipping, he could almost feel the shadows coming. Was this how the Bear and Eagle felt..? "Let it come then..let it come.."

Are we next? who knows?
All we can do is go on with our lives until we no longer exist. Another after the other I geuss you could say." She sighed still looking at him constantlly
"HEY SNAP OUT OF IT" before he began to slip she had kick him in the face with one of her high hill boots, sinding him backwards. "iF THIS IS TRULY OUR TIME TO DIE, IT WILL COME ON ITS OWN FREE WILL....................... And until it does you should live life as if nothing I
have siad effected you. Who knows mybe you and I are soppuse to live through this." She Walks up to him and kneels down by him, a hand reased to him to help him up. "It'll come when it comes, just fight it with all you've got" She took off her mask, reavilling her bright blonde hair that seem to make her blue eyes stand out. She gave him a kind smile. "After what I've been through I believe anything is possible.."
The kick had sent Shinto sprawling yet again. He could have dodged it but let the high heel connect with the side of his face. That was either going to break his jaw or leave a massive bruise. He didn't care anymore. He noticed the hand but didn't take it as he remained on the ground staring ever so quietly at the memorial he had erected. He listened with half interest still not having a care. He had been broken at the seams the elder's if they truly wanted a new age then they would most likely have it. After what 'she' had been through? He didn't know how much trouble she had but he had some of his own in his past. The scars wouldn't heal or the memories wouldn't leave. "At least you have something to believe in Amarick."
"humph......... Your wrong, I have nothing to live for, but no true ninja is going to waist his life worring about the future." with that she stode up and walked to the momorial and stode there for a few seconds " I'm going to the elders and I'm bringing this with me." she took up the sword, along with the 2 masks on it. turning her head she said "if they ARE the cauze of this, they wont lie to me and if they DO want my possetion........... I'll give it to them............ either way, I'm to bussy to sob like you" She staired at Shinto as she thought 'poor thing........ I say one word to him and he colapses, he isn't as tough as I thought..'
His eyes widened slightly as she drew the sword. Destroying the memorial he had erected. He shut his eyes briefly placing his hands in yet another jutsu motion. Seeming to disappear in smoke he seemed gone completely. The dirt behind Amarick would give way as Shinto came up. Gripping the sword he tore it from Amarick's grasp. "You have no care for graves. Let the dead have peace." He carefully sheathed the blade letting the two masks dangle off the hilt. "You aren't going to seek council with the elders without me. Eagle and Bear would not have me drowning in self sorrow. I wish to ask them myself." He stared quietly arms slowly finding themselves across his chest his old self showing. His mask seemed to slide back on it's own as well all of the jade eyes gleaming at once.
She realesed the sword "You don't have to be so mean about it, I have respect for peoples graves"
She smilied " Thats more like it. Back to your old self........ I wasn't going without you anyway, but I knew you would refuse to let me go alone." pulling on his arm she siad "lets go" but then stopped when she had only just taken one step with her heel . She turned around and faced Shinto eye to eye, but didn't realize their faces where so close. She blushed trumindisly........................ why did she like him so much....................?(She was naturally as tall as him bacause of her high heeled stillato type boots.... if you wouldn't know)" which way is it..........." she mumered
Feeling his arm tugged his weight shifted letting his arms go back down. Being eye to eye with Amarick he merely gave her a head tilt. "You really haven't been in touch with nature for a good while have you? Just listen and it will all come clear." Raising his hand he pointed towards the sky. A brief gust of wind rolled from the east slowly shifting towards the north. He almost cracked a smile holding that temptation in. "Something wrong Amarick? Your face seems flushed..The direction we need to go would be north. Are there anyone one else you would like to travel with. If so I will leave you to them and go my way."
