Even without his sight, Shinjiro had managed to hold on longer than Kazuna, or so it seemed. More footsteps, and a smell that wasn't Kazuna's, reached him as he continued dodging around his opponent. It had to be the sky-nin she was fighting, he reasoned. Which meant that Kazuna had lost. If he continued, he knew he'd be double teamed. And then they'd get both scrolls. Better just to give one up now, and keep the other, he thought.
He held his spears above his head, stopping and stepping away from his opponent, cancelling the Blindsense Jutsu at the same time. "Alright then. Since you'll both attack me otherwise, can we end this now? There's no use fighting any longer. We'll go and find our own other scrolls." He drew out the Earth Scroll and held it up.
The boy he'd been fighting paused and shot a look at the one who'd fought Kazuna, "What d'you think, Cole?"
Cole shrugged, "Well, Kazuna didn't have any scrolls on her, so I guess since this is their only one, and we don't need any others, we might as well just head to the tower now."
Shinjiro nodded and walked past them to find Kazuna and Suika, tossing the Earth Scroll to the sky-nin as he walked by. They needed to get two scrolls now. Of course, this close to the tower that wouldn't be too difficult.

Violet came back a second after, saying she had won.
"Cool, now lets just head to the tower," I said and took off, the other close behind me.
I was going no stop, fast as I could. We would have two days to rest anyway, so this wouldn't to bad to do.
"Good job Cole," I heard and saw Korah near the tower, "Guys let them pass, we already beat them any way."
"Fine," Both of Korah's teammates said and stepped back.
"So we meet again," I said with a smile and walked over to Korah, "Now that I can move I would like to say something."
"And what would that be?" he asked.
"You talk a lot I mean that was one epic rant you gave back there, I got it in the beginning, we are both good, and it was close. You didn't have to talk for five minutes for me to get that, I have a genius IQ for crying out loud. Unlike most I got all the questions on the first test, didn't-"
"Yeah you talk a lot too," Korah said, interrupting me.
"Well we will be going now," Itachi said and gestured for me to follow.
"No you two go ahead, I want to keep talk," I said and looked back to Korah.

Korah let out a loud laugh as he watched Cole grab the scroll before turning with his team and heading toward the tower. “Let’s end the Jutsu,” Korah said to Vera who nodded and quickly made a couple of signs before the light faded and the mirrors turned into water that fell to the ground with a splash. “Come on guys,” Korah said with a smile, “Let’s go greet our friends…”
"No you two go ahead, I want to keep talk," Cole said as he slowly turned to Korah.
Korah just laughed, “Sounds good.” Why don’t you guys take our friends inside and get them situated,” Korah said as he turned to his team mates.
“No problem,” Tezuka said as Violet went walking by him. He didn’t hide it as he checked her out and let out a low whistle, “I will definitely help her… them I mean.”
“Mmmm… me to,” Vera whispered as she sauntered over to Itachi, showing a bit of cleavage as she grabbed his arm and began to innocently feel his bicep. “How are you doing?” she asked as they turned and walking inside.
Korah watched them go, chuckling slightly as he turned to Cole and said, “Nice fight by the way, I’m impressed.”
Cole just shrugged, “It was simple enough, though I am disappointed you beat us here.”
“Maybe you’ll do better then time,” Korah answered as he turned toward the tower and said, “Follow me, let’s go talk up there.” He pointed up toward the tower before leaping up into the air. Making a few simple signs the moisture outside the build lengthened out and formed frozen steps of ice as he ran up towards the roof, Cole following close behind.
Leaping off of the last step Korah flew through the air, doing a small summersault as he lighted smoothly on the ground. Cole landed behind him with a slight grunt, and Korah turned to smile at him. “You tired.”
“Hardly,” the younger boy grunted, “I just have been resting in a nice room since our last fault.”
“Yea… I have enjoyed sleeping on a real bed the last few nights,” Korah answered with a light laugh as he swung his legs over the side of the tower and sat down, looking out into the forest beyond.
Hey not sure where you want to go with this. i know a few things we can talk about but I'm not sure if you had any ideas...
"So what da ya think the third task will be? They always keep it a secret," I said as suppressed a yawn.
"No idea, but I bet it'll be tough," Korah stated.
"Yeah no doubt about that," I said, "But I got a question for you, why didn't you take our other scroll?"
"I didn't know you had one to be honest."
"Glad about that."
After that there was a bit of silence.
"Hey that sword seems familiar. I think my uncle told me about someone with it, or someone's son. Said he was from the Seven mist swordsmen," I said to break the silence.
"Yeah I'm on the wait list to get on it, I need to get up a level though, can't have genin on the team," Korah said.
"You too huh?" I said, that was a coincident.
"What do you mean, me too?"
"I mean that I'm on it too, but for my areas. See every generation of my family has been in it, but the last one, dad was never a good sword fighter, he was better at ninjutsu. So when I was old enough he started training me to be a swordsman, these hand have been clutching blades sense I was seven year old, and these blades I have belonged to my great-great-great-great grandfather, the first generation of the sky of swordsmen, he and his buddy, Takezo Kensei, started it ours." Then I took out my blades, "See these marking here, they are the code of our one, and here is the crest. And here on the bottom is something my dad said the original owner, a samurai who purged the nations claim death at every turn, hid a great power, that everyone who has owned the blade tried to get at."
"Wow," Korah said, "Some history lesson there."

"Hi there," A voice said behind me and I turned my head slightly to meet it. I notice him pick up speed to be next to me, who was this guy?
"Hi!" i started with a smile but then ended with frown when I noticed him not looking at my face but my cleavage. I tried to ignore it but his eyes were just so obviously intent on just looking.
"What's your name?" his gaze drifted up to my face and I was met by a smile.
"Violet?" I was still unsure about this guy because every way I looked at it, he was looking me up and down.
"You don't know if your name is Violet or not?" he smiled wide again and I couldn't help but let a bit of a blush come to my cheeks. He took pride in the light pink color and smirked like a cat.
"I'm Tezuka, and I am pretty sure that is my name,"
I looked towards Itachi who was busy with the girl i fought suckered on his arm, he looked like he was trying to politely shake her off. I then looked back to Cole who was talking to the obvious leader of the other group. Tezuka kept talking but I wasn't paying attention to his voice, I was looking for means of escape. That is when I saw it, or them, three large hickeys scattered across his neck. Some were obviously old but there was one new one. I smiled coyly at him, and he picked up speed to make us separate a little from the group, rounding the corner to make us invisible to the group.
"In here.." I motioned to a nook in the tree line, it separated to it's own little clearing that was invisible to people on the main trail.
"So now that we are alone.." i smiled at him and beckoned but he was already on me starting to feel me up. His lips locked onto mine and then..
BzzzZZzzzzzzzZZT
i the causer of his lip pain wiped my lips in victory, he wouldn't be trying to flirt with anyone soon. His lips were a bright flaming red that matched his eyes.
"You...," he started again.
"I am not a skank man!" I chimed and ran back to join the group approaching the tower. The girl, I think i caught the name Vera, laughed when she saw Tezuka and the others joined in laughing.
"Nice V.." Cole said sarcastically.
The one who smiles the most has something to hide.
..i'm lonely...message me..some how add me on your social networking site (unless you are some creepy weirdo who stalks girls for their organ harvesting company..i personally like them inside of me thankyou )
So Itachi is dressed like the guy from assassins creed basically. The pants are whitish grey, but the rest is black. His chest guard and boots are brown.
Itachi~~
I pushed the girl off of me, "Sorry, I have a girlfriend and I'm not going to cheat, try someone else" I lied.
She looked a little put off, but not much. She danced away and I walked over to Tezuka. I REALLY wanted to know about his blood gift.
"Nice lips."
"He glared at me, "Shut up."
"But thats not what I wanted to talk about. What all can you do with your blood gift?"
He looked at me suspiciously, "Why?"
"I know you want to keep some secrets in case we have to fight again, and I completely respect that. But I think yours may be in some way related to mine."
He raised his eyebrows, "What can you do?"
I flicked off the bandages and exposed the mark on my arm. It had grown an extra inch.
"An actual Demon Born. Never thought I'd see one," He looked at me, "Have you ever fully used it?"
I was shaking my head before he asked the question, "No, only in bursts. I'm not sure what it would do."
He grinned, "Well it would be a hell of a sight."
I nodded, "So do you think there's any correlation?"
He shook his head, "Not really." He started walking away, "But watch your blood."
I had no idea what that ment so I went and sat next to Violet.
"I think the mist village breeds wierdos."
*If he bites you do you take on any of his characteristics? Or is he not like a vampy in that way?*

It hadn't taken them much longer to get the other two scrolls. The two teams they'd taken them from were more or less rookie teams, little experience, with no other scrolls. Just trying to make it to the tower alive or something.
Kazuna still seemed to be smarting about losing to the sky-nin, and Suika had had to step in to stop her killing one of their other opponents, yet another smark-alec team leader who'd gotten on her nerves.
The three of them made their way towards the tower, Shinjiro keeping the scrolls tucked inside his jacket.
**Just thought I should move Shinjiro, Kazuna and Suika to the same point everyone's already at. And this is Shinjiro, except he wears one of those jackets with the really high collars, like Shino**

No ridersofdamar, you don't receive anything of Tezuka's when he feeds on your blood. But he does gain your bloodline if you have one...
Korah
Korah chuckled as he saw Tezuka rubbing his bright red lips. The spark did little to keep him from staring at Violet still, his eyes large and a slight line of drool slowly dripping from his mouth as he continued to eye her. "Hey Teuka," Korah called, "Try keeping your eyes to yourself."
The boy just shrugged off the warning, to interested in the girl then anything else. Itachi, the boy Vera had been flirting with walked over to Violet and growled, ""I think the mist village breeds wierdos."
Korah turned to look at the pair and said, "Hey, just because there flirting with you doesn't mean they won't take insult, I'd be-careful what you say."
Violet rolled her eyes as she said, "We could handle anything they could throw at us."
Korah just shrugged, not bothering to say anything more as he turned back to Cole. None of them may have guessed it by how he acted, but Tezuka was one of the more... dangerous Ninja on the team. He was the only one Korah had ever lost to among his peers, and he had more then absolute respect for the boy. His blood jutsu was more unique then most could imagine, and the ability to take on other people's bloodlines was something few had ever seen let alone encountered before. Plus Tezuka always kept a number of blood vials from some of the most powerful bloodlines he had ever encountered on his body. It was rumored that his Clan collected Bloodlines, capturing those who were unique and possessed interesting powers. They kept them alive for years, bleeding them when needed so that they always possessed their unique skills.
Plus his ability to manipulate his blood was dangerous. One second his blood sword would be solid, but as it connected with your blade it would turn to liquid, slipping around your sword before solidifying again in time to slice you. His skills were unique, and most ninja had never even encountered someone of Tezuka's clan. They were often assassins, able to slip in, even blend in before destroying their kill and disappearing. He could only imagine the things Tezuka had seen...
"That's it," the lady whispered as her thin tongue shot out to lick her dry lips. "Let the blood fill you, taste the smooth sensation as it flows down your throat. Taste the power... the life that comes with it, now accept it, make it part of you, make it your own."
Tezuka didn't answer. His eyes were wide as he slowly breathed in, taking long slurps as he held down the young girl. She squirmed and cried softly as his fangs slipped into her neck, stabbing her as he began to slowly drain her life force. At first he hated it, but the more he took, the more he tasted the more he wanted. It was nothing like he had ever experienced before, the salty liquid flowed down his throat, filling him with energy, with power. Feeling greedy now he bit down, taking longer slurps as his fangs dug further into the child's throat.
"Please!" the girl whimpered as her lips began to turn a beautiful soft blue, like the down feathers on a newborn baby bird. "I... I can't feel my toes..." she whispered again, as he hands slowly sank to her side.
"That's it Tezuka, make grandma proud," the old crone squealed as she began to dance back and forth from foot to foot. "Suck the very life out of her! Consume that which you were born to take!"
"More!" Tezuka hissed as he paused to take a short breath. His eyes were wide and wild as smears of blood rolled down the side of his face and onto the floor. "I need more!" he screamed, his hands shaking as as he once again plunged his fangs into the girls throat, his fangs this time piercing a fang as a fountain of blood shot into the air. Tezuka just laughed, his body shaking with pleasure as he allowed the waves of blood to cascade down his face and into his hair. "More!" he shrieked, as his grandma's cackles filled the air. No one even cared to notice the poor little girl who had stopped moving, her lips pale and her skin now ghostly white as her limp form grew still...
"So Cole," Korah said as he turned toward the skynin boy, "When do you think this is all going to start... "
"Well this is still the fourth day, so it'd still about two days away," I said.
"Oh yeah," Korah said.
Suddenly there was a rustling sound, and I turned to see a new group arriving. The one we had just faced actually, the Kazuna girl looking very angry, and when she saw me she almost went mad.
"You," She growled, and was about to jump me, but her two teammate held her back.
"Oh you," I said with another yawn, I sure was tired, "Yeah I'm not feeling a fight right now, I only fought you cause I had to, now we both are done There is no point in it."
"Well I want a re-match," Kazuna growled again.
"Well I'm not, I won fair and square," I said, "Hey Itachti, Violet, lets head in,"
The other two seemed eager to get away from the mist guys and came in.
"See ya next test, maybe," I told Korah, unsure if I would.
