(Just when we thought things couldn't get anymore complicated... Heh heh heh. Warn you all now, I have one last card to play before this madness ends...)
Anko mentally traced in the location of Akki's blade, tumbling under a slice that bit into the earth to her left, opening an invisible rift. His words were less than nothing, the words of a hypocrite who would rip the heart out of child. She knew that she could be a cold-hearted jerk at times, but that was part of who she was. Familiar. Her hand darted for a weighted line, halting at the arrival of the newcomer, a young girl in form, a ghostly chorus in voice, and... one of the darknest chakras she'd ever sensed.
That wasn't a good sign. The flicker of a familar and friendly aura below the earth made the situation only a bit less dangerous... She forced herself to relax, brown eyes cold under her messy bun. Two monstrous chakra signatures, a cursed hostage, and more chaos... Why did her missions always get so hairy so fast? "I take it," she monotoned, falsly bored, "That one of you doesn't work for Stone then?"

"You idiot!" Ryuho yelled at his weaker half. It was obvious that was coming and if the damn boy's mind was open he would have been able to avoid that. However the boy's mind was full of hate and blocked off to nearly everything.
Kazuma groan in pain for a minute before he lifted his hands at the man's arm. The young demon trying to pull of the man. His head aching at the moment. "That is it boy I don't care what you say I am taking control whether you like it or not, if you stay in control your going to get us both killed!" Ryuho yelled hi in mind. The young demon knowing he was right.
'Fine but if you hurt any of the-'
"Yes I know now shut up!" With that over and done with Ryuho now had complete control of Kazuma's body. The demon lifting up his leg with great speed and power aiming at the man's chin to make him let his body go. After using that to escape his grip his body was falling to the ground of the canyon wing sprouting from his back. Ryuho was using level two of the Shioji bloodline.
His body landing slowly onto the ground. His wings in as he turned his attention to the young girl with the non-living behind her. His face showing nothing. When he touched the earth he felt yet another presence however he knew it was no threat although it did bring him discomfort seeing how it was another demon, 'Shishigami?' he asked himself in his mind not completely sure whether or not he was right. His guard not dropping for either the Ikibuke, or the girl for they were the ones who possesed the dark chakra.

Saishi's eyes did not move from Akki as Magasasu spoke. "I disbanded from the Stone long ago. I could gladly sit and watch the destruction of the Village while laughing." For a moment, he took in the chakra signature of the Jounin and his smile twitched. "I recognize you from somewhere." He thought for a moment before steadily speaking. "Mitarashi Anko? I figured Orochimaru would have killed you by now." He tapped his staff lightly on the ground twice, noting the dead buried beneath the surface. "Anko, would you be so kind as to refrain from a battle between Akki and myself if the occasion arises?" Pale grey eyes glanced to the former pupil of Orochimaru, betrayer of the Legendary Three. He was famous, but in Magasasu's opinion, too falmboyant and he had no respect for the Bone and Blood arts. Not as if he would have been any good at it anyways, but still... His job with the deceased Hokage's was sloppy.
"Well, Akki? Will you let the Leaf Ninja go or make your self an enemy of one of the greatest shinobi countries in existence? Personally, if they pay enough, I wouldn't mind killing all of your clan. I know plenty who agree with me." Metal tags jingled as Saishi shifted her weight. Magasasu wasn't patient with this things, and honestly hoped he got a chance to fight Akki. Such disrespect to him and his art could not be tolerated on his honor.
One of the undead shifted the rusty sword in his hand, as if sensing his master's uneasiness, and then the entire group shifted in the same manner, clinking of bones and swords heard amongst them.
Aliana knew that the demon had revealed itself. The teachings of Shishigami labled them lesser demons. Really, she didn't care. He was a powerful enough ally to have and that was all that mattered. The Datenshi felt the lure of demonic lust, stronger than ever now. Another demon nearby often made her like that, wanting to release her rage and make her gods proud. While she wouldn't have admitted it to Kaji (as she knew the Sojiro thought Kazuma more like him than any of his students, and therefore thought him the one whom he could teach most to), by the demands of the Mionigashima Teachings, she and Kazuma were supposed to be enemies sworn to fight until one death if a conflict arose between the two.
She thought she caught a murmur of recognition somewhere beyond the darkness, a muttering of 'Ryuho' but shook it off. And then the unmistakable speech of Shishigami. 'Well, Ryuho. My follower is your host's comrade... for now. Please, if she does give into the rage inside her and decide to unleash the Koumajutsu, be so kind as to step out of the way.' Aliana had to wipe a trickle of blood from her nose, doing well enough to maintain such a composure in the presence of a god. A child in her place would have died.
And within a moment, the presence was gone and she was free to marvel at being in the actual presence of her god. Nosebleeds were her most fequent side effect, especially when she was visited in dreams (which annoyed the hell out of her). Soon enough, she would reveal herself... And when she laid eyes upon who had dared bind her Genin, she would see to it that his flesh rot off his bones. Ikibuke were also labled enemies, and she wouldn't deny the teaching for this man. A battle would ensue, and no matter how long it took, days, months, or years, it would end with the death of one of them.
She prepared to leap above the surface...

(I leave for a night and everything explodes in my face is this the price for being an evil villain?)
The old man moved his torso backward avoid the demon's kick. His pale eyes watching as the demon made his way back at the ground. When he hear his name being called Akki shifted his eye see a little girl. Akki taking a minute to remember who she was. The smile on his face widening. Well if it isn't Magasasu one of the members of the great stone assassins, Akki said in a mocking voice giving out a chuckle as he heard his words coming out of the girls mouth. Although honestly he didn't care much about what he had said.
Sorry but I don't let my kin go that easily, Akki stated emphasizing 'kin' so that Magasasu would know that he had already preformed the initiation on him. Besides Kohona is already my enemy and I know you would be glad to kill my kind but let me tell you this you wouldn't be able to, Akki replied flickering right behind Rio. So you if want the kid you going to try and take him by force, the Shishou said with a smile on his face sensing another presence there as well along with it's thirst to kill him. But then again people have been wanting to kill him since he was three why is now any different.
Rio looked toward the new comer a look of fear going on his face. He knew exactly who that little girl was. She was the one who held Magasasu spirit, and was a member of the Stone Assassin Squad. Part of him felt like dropping the kid and running that was of course until Akki flickered behind him. His body was beginning to tremble with fear. He didn't want to die however if he continued to serve Akki he would be killed by someone there. And if he disobeyed Akki not only would he be killed, but the rest of his family.
The Stone chuunin continued to tremble trying to decided just who he feared most. Magasasu or Akki. The chuunin continued to tremble as he took hold of rope that was holding Totora on him making it titer. He knew that he was going to be killed no matter what he did so he decided to stay with Akki for at least then he wouldn't have his family killed in a gruesome way.
Akki was able to sense the fear in Rio however he didn't look away from Magasasu. A small chuckle escaped his mouth. Good son, now maybe I wouldn't feed you and your family to the Omega, he said quickly for only Rio to hear. The Hyuuga too however the boy was deaf he couldn't hear anything.
Th-thank y-you sir, Rio replied still trembling.

Minako frowned when her jutsu failed when he used a replacement jutsu. Just keep knocking him back, he won't be able to keep up forever... Minako gasped at the sight of the moving earth shifting toward her...Crap! Minako thought. She managed to twist her way out of the coming danger, unfortunatly she couldn't say the same for her clones, which were grabbed and crushed into smoke. That could have been bad...
Minako was getting ready for her next attack, scanning around the area looking for any trace of the stone chuunin and Totora. When she couldn't find any hair of him, she began to search for any possible areas to hide in. He might be in one of the canyon walls... Minako thought. She was about to detonate the strings of bombs on the sides of the canyon walls when she spotted him standing by his master, along with a new girl she hadn't seen before.
Good thing I didn't waste those bombs... Minako noticed the man trembling and clutching the straps that held Totora tighter, "That guy...is he really that scary...."Minako whispered. As soon as the older man had left, Minako decided to attack while he was still quaking.
Quickly she performed the hand signs for her signature genjutsu that Kaji had taught her, and the same one she had used to gain an edge over Rock Lee in the chuunin exams. Minako's chakra darkened to form the dome that would send them into Minako's alternate universe where she controlled the time space continum and everything. Try to get out of this one!Minako thought.

Akki continued to stare at Magasasu. The smile he had on through out most of the battle remained on his face. The Shishou was was waiting for him to either attack or say something. Same thing with the young Kohona ninja. This was going to be fun. However even if they somehow took the Hyuuga kid away from Rio no matter where they hid him he would always be able to find him again and take him back for the Omega's blood was within him. And it will remain in him until Akki took out the Omega's blood and placed his heart back in. An operation that could only be preformed by him.
The shishou continued to stare making sure that he wasn't going to be caught off guard. Akki ready to use Aisu at any time when she would be needed.
Rio kept his eyes on the Kohona ninja since it seemed Magasasu and Akki seemed to have something personal against each other. And there was no way he was going to get in between them. The stone chuunin took in a deep breath to help calm himself down which actually helped.
It was then when he noticed everything around him beginning to get pitch black. The chuunin looking around, Genjutsu, Rio thought bring his hands together with ease muttering under his breath, Kai. Instantly the genjutsu was gone. His brown eyes looking toward Minako. The chuunin going through some quick hand signals than pressed his palm against the ground, Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction, he muttered under his breath.
Just then rocks began to dislodge above her in order to crush her. His eyes still showing discomfort, but he was doing everything he could to make sure that he and his family would be save.

Minako frowned, frustrated that her attack had failed, Drat! Minako thought. The chuunin from the stone then made some handsigns and caused rocks to fall from above her. Oh no! This isn't good!.
Minako quickly flipped out a couple handsigns to preform a fairly basic genjutsu, but it was all she needed to escape. After she perfromed the signs, her body began to disappear into air. Moments later a small tree formed behind Rio and the limbs shot out to try to bind him, as Minako appeared out of the tree, with a kunai in her hand. "Nice try," Minako said with a smirk.

Magasasu was startled into a laugh at Akki's statement. "I couldn't kill any? Are you sure about that?" Whipping out one of his many scrolls from the fold of his tunic, he openly displayed the Kanji that read 'Ikibuke'. "A collection of how many I have killed from your clan. Eight, all total." He shrugged. "I'll deal with the fact that the child is your kin later. Right after I finish you off." What Magasasu wanted to do was have one of Akki's dead kin rip his heart out and see how he felt. That would be amusing... And his blood for collection, which could provide for a bonus in meditation and such.
Magasasu looked thoughtful as he tapped his staff three times to the ground, making the tags jingle slightly. Ah, it was one of the most simple attacks, yet an efficient one. The dead had no chakra and there was almost no way to sense them unless you were advanced in his art... Either that or you used some sort of Earth Sensing jutsu, or some such. In truth, two dead were shifting in their place underneath Akki.
Two pairs of skeletal arms exploded from the earth beneath Akki, grabbing at his legs. They were still half encased in rotting flesh, making a not-so-attractive smell waft on a breeze in Magasasu's direction. But he dug up dead most every day, so he was used to it... Sort of. Saishi's nose twitched with distaste, but nonetheless watched as her dead reached to pull Akki into their world.
The other ninja meant nothing to him, only killing this insult to his work.
OOC: And Aliana has nothing more to do until I decide to bring her out. Totora, will your wild card be put into play now?

When the rocks began Rio had a plan thought out on what to do. Rio going through a couple hand signals while the rocks fell on her. Knowing that she would end up near him he did several different jutsus at a time. A poof of smoke surrounded him his and Totora's body becoming one of the rocks that was on the ground thanks to the explosion Anko made earlier.
At the same time a clone of his poofed away from Minako and her tree. Rio making it looked like he used a jutsu to poof himself to another area. Although it was something very difficult to catch. The chuunin throw a cluster of shurikens at the young shinobi.
Heh, eight out of how many now? he said with a laugh. Akki knew of the ones he killed. With the exception of one the other sever were ones who joined against they're will just like the Hyuuga Rio was caring. As the Shishou he was given many abilities by the Omega to watch over those who carried his blood. One being the ability to find them no matter where they were, when they died, and how, and also several other thing but he needed to pay attention at the moment.
He watched as Magasasu tapped his staff against the ground at first doing nothing although he knew what was going to happen.
Shall I take form now?
Aisu asked Akki shaking his head, No thats fine, Akki replied to all around him it would look as if he were talking to himself. Right when the dead came up from below the Shishou moved out of the way moving a couple feet back the Ikibuke taking in a small breath and blowing air cold enough to freeze the corpses with ease.

(Hmmm... *looks at my 'WWAD?' button* Hmmmm, I don't know... Set stuff on fire? Sadistically torture Naruto? Lose to Orochimaru? Here I go. And we'll see, Aliana, we shall see start butting heads with Akki first.)
Anko traced the Stone Chuunin's movements with a practised eye, firing off the Bringer of Darknique at the opponent and flipping up and over his form in a single, fluttering flip. She landed with a puff of dust, launching a cluster of hissing serpents from leathally short range, hoping to bind the two nin in place for a knockout blow.
She couldn't do anything about the two monsters above, but she could grab the Stone Chuunin and his hostage. The admission that the... child was one of the Stone Assasins Group was a prize in and of itself, every word of the exchange burned into her mind.

(WWAD?)
Crap, the chuunin thought the real thing turning back to normal all around him everything was getting dark. The chuunin placing his hands together, Kai, he mutter canceling out the genjutsu. His eyes widening as a serpent came at him. He tried moving out of the way by jumping however one of the snakes grabbed his leg stopping him in mid jump.
He could have just landed on the Hyuuga to less the pain from falling however the kid ad been threw too much to be given more pain. So Rio just landed on his right arm pain flowing through his entire arm from the stress of landing hard on the cold ground.
Rio grabbing out a kunai to stab the serpent in the eye to make it let go hopefully. While he did that his clone dashed at the Jonin sending a series of punches and kicks with swift motion.

Ryuho watched as Anko and Minako attacked the Stone Chuunin. The demon having absolutely no interest in him, nor did he really care about the fate of the Hyuuga. Hell the kid could die and rot for he cared. For a moment he thought he heard something from the other demon that was present, but he choose to ignore it. Again no interest.
The demon rubbed his throat a bit. God he was feeling thirsty, but then again that was no surprised Kazuma was nearly thirteen now. Although Ryuho tried to ignore it and focus on the battle his red eyes on Akki. And his hand on one of the three kodachis Kazuma was caring.
After the skeletons failed to grab their pray Ryuho dashed at him with double the speed than what Kazuma was ever able to use. The demon slashing his blade at Akki spinning his body striking with his claws and then one of his wings.
After that combo Ryuho jumped back into the air. His wings keeping him above the ground. The demon breathing in and blowing out five little ghost about half his size. Each of them resembling Kazuma's body. "Go," Ryuho said calmly two of the ghost flying at Akki in hopes of connecting with him.

Pale eyes shifted toward the demon as he came at him. Although he wasn't impressed for there was a Shioji that served him about 75 years ago. And unlike this boy the Shioji he knew was able to use 100% of the demon's power.
Akki brought his blade up in order to block the slash ease. A brow raising. Was this it? Was this all his power? From the looks of it he was in level two so he should have been more powerful. When he looked into Kazuma's eyes he then understood. It was only the demon's personality that was fighting. The human side was completely out. Fools.
The Shishou then dropped the ground avoiding both the claws at the wing the Shioji slashed at him. The Ikibuke jumping himself back to his feet. He then looked up as the Shioji jumped back and used the Ghost Kamikaze. Akki avoiding the two ghost with ease, Is that it? Akki asked in a mocking voice awaiting another attack.

Magasasu sighed, pointing his staff to the frozen corpses. He muttered something under his breath, and the ice shattered like glass, allowing the corpses to pull themselves from the earth. They certainly weren't beautiful, but they were his pride. One of the dead brandished his own arm as a weapon, throwing it at Akki with more force than one would have thought possible.
The other's leaped at him, slashing with their fingers, attempting to land blows on Akki. Magasasu would save his own techniques for later. The dead behind him looked ahead expectantly, wanting to rush forward at the sight of the others attacking. Magasasu shrugged, and the whole group behind him surged forward at Akki. Spears flew, swords slashed, and the group surrounded Akki in their furious attacks.
Magasasu laughed once again, the eerie mix of a children's high pitched laughter and an old man's rasping laughter. Soon he might be able to use the hell hounds! Ah, this was fun indeed.
Aliana caught her breath as she felt the earth shift. Those bone thin skeletons- for that's what they were, surely- were pulling themselves from the earth, clamboring for the Ikibuke. Totora's captor was involved in a battle with one of Kaji's students...It appeared she was slightly outclassed. Well, Aliana might be able to fix that. (Right now, she wished Kumiko were with her).
Grumbling, she released the veil concealing her chakra and burst from the earth, watching a boy wildly trying to stab at a serpent holding his leg captive. A servant controlled by nothing more than fear, with no sense of loyalty, only the threat to his family. "Boy! You are a fool! To follow one such as him is insanity! You will make yourself an enemy of the entire Datenshi clan, who are bound by no laws but their own! If you seek protection for your family, go to them! One Ikibuke, as powerful as he may be, could not best the entire clan! They are a village in themselves!" Aliana felt sorry for the kid. He wasn't really evil, just a boy trying to make sure his family was safe. She didn't want to kill him... Not saying she wouldn't, but she didn't want to. "Even if you continue to serve him, your family may die anyways." 'Shishigami, let him see reason!'
The blood-lust, a hereditary part of her blood-line, sparked within her. Part of her mind almost hoped he would refuse and give her the chance to release the Koumajutsu. It would have been the first time in a long while, and her fingers were itching to perform the hand-signs neccesary. To simply immerse herself in rage and attack these blasphemous insults to Shishigami! To see their blood spilled-
She shook her head to clear her mind of such thoughts. 'Self control... Self control...' Breathing in deeply, she waited for his reply.
OOC: Arrghles! Rushed! *Dies*

Minako frowned getting a bit frustrated with the Stone chuunins clones. She narrowed her eyes to focus on the shuriken coming straight for her. Using the kunai, which was still in her hand from the genjutsu, she swung it to block any incoming shuriken toward her vital points. Only a few were able to hit her leg, causing a thin stream of blood to flow.
She was able to re-locate the chuunin thanks to Anko's snake whips. Now the chuunin was caught with a coil of snakes on his leg, while stabbing it with his kunai. Minako took her chance while his attention wasn't focused on her, to create a clone that jumped up at him, launching a couple of shuriken at the the chuunins clone to stop it from attacking Anko-sensei.
While the clone of Minako turned around to attack Rio, the real Minako quietly snuck up behind him, and lashed out a few thin threads of chakra and aimed to attach them to Totora. She carefully held the kunai to her side, while she hid behind a pile of dislodged rocks to mask her real location. If her chakra strings attached, she would be able to pull him back and free Totora by cutting the ropes with her kunai.
