Yukio wandered along a sunny, warm beach that was inhabited with a few folks lying in the sun. No one ever paid Yukio any attention. To the inhabitants of the island, she ('he' to everyone; they didn't know she was a girl) was always just a vagrant, someone who just wandered aimlessly. Yuki stared at her feet as she walked along the sand, the tide just missing her toes. Tiny rocks followed along behind her feet, bouncing and stumbling over other bigger rocks. She sighed. No sign of the thieves, as usual. However, she continued on her silent watch, her thoughts wandering towards Yanme. Was he watching over her?
Yukio often found herself living in a slow delusion, half dead, half alive. Half dead because her twin brother, whom she shared a strong and spiritual bond, was gone. Half alive because she needed to find the thieves and avenge her dear brother.
She broke her thoughts away from their deep pool, and looked along the beach. The area was darker.. There was no one here now. She looked behind her. No one. 'How far have I walked?' The area didn't seem familiar to her at all. She contemplated turning around, but decided she would continue her scouting. Her orange eyes scanned the horizon, growing steadily weary.

Her feet dug in to the ground as she walked strongly, with a purpose. The tail of her dark cloak flowed behind her. She had a sort of bright yellowish hair, most would hardly call it blond. She held herself up within her large iron ring, which was half the height of her body. Her cloak was body length and scattered with red and yellow clouds, most being yellow. Her eyes were a kind of dim turquoise, staring at the ground endlessly. She seemed bored but also completely enthused.
Her mind wandered, "Why did Leader and Sempai send her here!?" She thought to herself, "Theres been no kind of Jinchuriki sightings, or any reason to believe that there was one here." She dug her feet into the ground and kicked up a large amount of sand. It flew forwards, giving everything around her a dusty look for a moment. The wind blew quickly and the sand was carried past her, littering her cloak and trace amounts of hair. She shook herself off and then sighed, missions like this were boring.
She quickly knelt to the ground, placing her hand under a bunch of warm sand. She felt the trace piece of molecular sized metals; iron, titanium, steel, etc. She closed her eyes and flowed her chakra through the metals and scanned the beach. She felt nothing, this beach was a bare as the Moon island. Suddenly her eyes thinned open, iron... just enough to be a being. A human. She stood and sighed, "If no one was here... I wouldn't need to stay." She said to herself. She began towards the larger sum of iron. "One the bright side..." She began in her flawless french accent, "Je pourrais arriver à avoir du plaisir..." (I might get to have some fun- French) She suddenly looked up, a slight smile on her face.
Now that she looked up, she could see what seemed to be a boy walking down the beach, "All alone on Neo Akatsuki ground..." She began as she released her ring and lightly began to swing it around hips before swinging it quickly and it landed gently on her shoulder, "Peut-être que je peux tuer ce garçon, Sempai ne serait pas de soins ... et leader sonnait comme il m'a encouragé à faire une telle chose. (Maybe I can kill this boy, Sempai wouldn't care... and Leader sounded like he encouraged me to do such things.) She continued walking towards the person.

Yukio glanced behind her, seeing the little rocks trailing along. She sighed, "Why?" She shook her head and continued walking, her eyes on the ground just beyond her feet. The rocks from before had dropped off, and new ones were starting to follow. "What is this crap?" she asked herself, irritated. Her irritation suddenly seemed to send the rocks skipping in all directions, something that happened occasionally, when Yukio was angry.
Yukio watched the rocks sail in their own directions, and looked up. Someone was standing in the distance.. From what Yukio could see, it was a girl. She stopped, here eyes widened. "What? Who could be out this far? What is she doing?.. Unless..." Yukio had to look a little harder to see that the person was approaching. "What do I do!?" She stared ahead, at the girl who was nearing.

Her eyes followed the horizon as, what seemed to be a boy, looked towards her. She closed her eyes, her kekkei genkai activating, Her legs seemed to grow longer as the iron from the sand melded with her. She put one foot in front of the other. She began to dash towards towards the boy, her long black cloak, scattered with yellow clouds blew behind her as she approached. She raced past the moving rocks, not noticing them.
She had made a decision. If the boy was a native to the island, she'd escort him back. If he wasn't however. She repeated, "Je pourrais arriver à avoir du plaisir..." (Maybe I can have some fun...-French). She stopped in front of the boy looking being and tilted her head. Odd. The person looked like a boy. Or at least their torso did, the face however was... feminine. She frowned at the person, lost in whether to address the person as 'Boy' or 'girl'. She made a choice, "You..." She decided to say, "Are you... from this island." Her thick french accent clear as she finished.

Yukio stared at the unidentified female for a few seconds. "Yes, I live here.." Yukio stopped walking, so did the trail of pebbles behind her. Yukio felt a little uncomfortable, being regarded in such an analytical manner. Who was this person? And.. where did she come from? Being an inhabitant in a sheltered island, Yukio was unaware that people had accents. Therefore, she had the slightest trouble trying to understand the woman.
"Who.. who are you, and what business have you here?" Yukio's voice already sounded masculine, to a certain degree, but it was questionable so long as she looked like a boy. Her orange eyes peered at the girl from behind thin white hair.

"Effray'e De Lobscrite." She answered in her flawless accent. "Neo Akatsuki." She said with a tone of pride.
It was supposed to be a commonly known fact that these islands were ruled by them. The Neo Akatsuki. She moved her half a person sized ring behind her and leaned back against it and pushed out her chest, still contemplating the gender of the person in front of her. She thought of something, "Your not... you know... 'running away' are you?" She asked, hopping he... she... this person was so she could still have some fun. She looked at the being anxiously, awaiting an answer.

Yukio tilted her head, aware that Effray'e was trying to figure her out, which made her a little uncomfortable. She wasn't running away; just... scouting. Nonetheless, manners were customary for Yukio. She bowed, and said, "Its nice to meet you, i suppose. I'm Yukio. I wasn't running away, just walking.." Yukio regained her posture, and looked at Effray'e's ring. 'Is that a weapon? She could cut me clean in half, if she wanted..'

Effray'e frowned as she leaned forward, obviously displeased. She had hopped she would get to kill something. To bad. The shook her head, knocking some hair from her face, "You know... Yukio-san. Villagers aren't supposed to stray to far from the village. Its not safe." She stood back and straight, lifting her giant ring up with both hands behind her back.
She decided to stop beating around the bush. "Yukio. My orders, given upon me by the Leader of the Neo Akatsuki, are that villagers are not allowed to far from said village. You'll have to come with me, back to the village." Effray'e looked at the rocks behind her that had, until her arrival, been moving. "The dancing pebbles can come with us." Her accent slurring the word 'dancing'.

Yukio furrowed her brow, aware that the woman was disappointed in something.. But what?
When Effray'e identified herself, Yukio felt a chill. She knew the islands were run by these people.. but she'd never seen one. "What? I was just--" Something, then clicked. "Why? Why can't the villagers walk along the island? We can't go anywhere. There are no boats, and no nearby islands.." Yukio sighed. It was useless trying to find a way to continue her scouting.. Resigned, she said, "Fine, I'll go back.." She wanted to correct Effray'e, to tell her the pebbles weren't dancing, they just.. followed her. They were annoying.

Effray'e smiled at the villager, "You want to know why? Because leader says so. Leader is a god, and you guys are his sacrificial lambs." She smiles, a provocative, teasing smile, obviously trying to provoke the villager. She leans back again, pushing out her chest and keeping that provocative smile, "If you want an honest answer... I don't know, I'm only an initiate. I have never even seen leader, let alone heard him. I just know that if you 'villagers' a too far from the village, you could be trying to escape, so you are to be killed on sight... however, your not that far out. So you get to live... go home." She grins, "Shall we go?"

Yuikio felt a little awkward at Effray'e's movements, and briefly wondered if she was a lesbian, but then she quickly remembered her disguise.. "A.. A god?" Yukio shook her head. She didn't want to start anything... finally, she sighed. "Fine, I'll go back to the village. but can I ask a few questions while you take me there?" Yukio's shoulders slumped, sad that she couldn't continue her scouting. Perhaps another time... Yukio frowned, recalling her annoyance the the rocks that would follow them as well.

Effray'e lifted her ring off the ground and held it behind her back, turning back towards the village while doing so, "Well come on then; lets go." She stepped forward, her boots digging into the sand as she did. Her head tilted and she looked at the villager with an almost bored look, "I... suppose. You can ask questions. Leader says that we are to protect and serve you people so long as you don't try to leave. So ask away..." She looked at the person, awaiting the questions.

Yukio nodded, walking beside Effray'e. "Do you know why these islands are so important, why they demand the Neo Akatsuki's constant attention? And.. why can't we leave?" Yuikio watched the ground as she walked, half aware that her Chakra was dragging the rocks behind. She sighed a little, but glanced back at Effray'e.

Effray'e's eyes wandered to Yukio and she thought for a moment, trying to remember what she was allowed to say. And what she wasn't. She moved her hair from her face and turned her head towards Yukio, prepared with an answer.
"Know.... I cannot tell you all I know. It is not allowed and leader and sempai would surely kill me for telling you, but, I will tell you what I can." She then began, "We are here. Because your village was once leader's home. His birthplace. Thats why were here, as far as I know. Our lord... hardly shows even his hologram to people of my rank, so I don't know many details..." She stopped, catching her breath and continued, "You may not leave. Mostly for your safety. A prisoner at the northern complex recently escaped, we captured him because he was dangerous to you guys... Our lord protects you, do not feel like your prisoners."
She thought, "Wow... I wasn't much help, was I?" She laughed slightly. As she did her eyes widened as she stopped, her face again becoming neutral. Why was she so... calm? She hadn't laughed like that since she was a child, was this using some sort of sedative to calm her? She shook her head, not possible. Her lord would know if any one had the potential to use such jutsu and recruited them into Akatsuki or killed them. She looked at Yukio oddly and then away, "Anything else?" She said, her accent thick.

Yukio nodded slowy, hearing Effray'e. She already knew this... She stopped when Effray'e stopped, not thinking much of her pause. "Hm..." Yukio began. She didn't know what else to ask, really.. She thought for a few seconds and said, "Well, hmm... Is it because a lot of the villagers can't fight? Is that also why we're.. protected? Also, if anyone tries to leave, why would you kill them if you're protecting them?"

Effraye looks at Yukio, a neutral and numb expression on her face. She remembered her sempai's words and shook her head before continuing to walk again, "Even if I knew.... I wouldn't be able to tell you..." She looked back towards the village.
Effraye flinched suddenly, she felt a dark aura. It felt as though her lord was nearby, but why? Was he making sure she was doing what she was supposed to? And in person? She suddenly felt scared, but tried not to show it, however, she couldn't hide a cold sweat that had come over her.
The leader of the Neo Akatsuki appeared on a nearby cliff. He had come to prove to the villagers that their was danger on these islands, and that they needed protection. He had no knowledge of Effray'e's situation.
"Kuchiyose: Yomi Seibutsu!" Shiiku mutters quietly, slapping his hands down upon the dirt below him. A red spark of lightning snapped as his hands hit the ground and a summoning circle shot around him. "Level one: Hounds from the depths of hell." He again mutters silently. Suddenly ten ravenous looking dogs rose around him, "Scatter my pets." He said, "Lay waist to any you see. Show the fools that they want us here." As Shiiku finishes the dogs run off.
Effray'e twitches as she feels a burst of chakra echo from nearby. She turns around to see several dogs, about four, burst from the forest brush and dash towards Yukio and herself. She lifts her ring and drops it in front of herself, "Prepare yourself!"

Yukio saw beads of sweat forming on Effray'e forehead. Something.. something... Wasn't right. Yukio looked around. "Effray'e? What's.. What's going on here?" Suddenly, Yukio heard barking. Angry, ravenous barking. Sure enough, four dogs came running. She heard Effraye's voice. Yuikio awkwardly got into a defensive stance. "I.. I can't fight well..." The pebbles behind Yukio, however, began to shake a little.

Effray'e looked at Yukio, "No better time to learn then the present." She said. As she looked at Yukio, she noticed the pebbles moving and a thought crossed his mind, "Impossible... Is... Is that your chakra moving those rocks?" She asked Yukio quickly.
The dogs were now about ten meters away from the two of them.
(Sorry its so short)

Yukio recoiled as the dogs neared. She was scared out of her wits! She'd sparred, but never an actual fight! These dogs could tear her to shreds! She backed up, hearing the inevitable statement that she'd have to learn to fight. As Yukio recoiled, the rocks lifted off of the ground a little, maybe three inches. Yukio didn't take notice, however, she answered Effraye's question by saying, "Y.. Yes, I think.. I don't know anything about Chakra, though. I just hand-to-hand fight.." She drew her fists up to her chin, shakily anticipating the first attack.

Effraye lifted her ring and swung it from behind her, towards her front. Suddenly a small burst of chakra echoed from her as her kekkei genkai activated. Suddenly her body began to change, and so did her ring. She shrunk to the height of Yukio's waist, giving her a chibi-like apperance, the ring however grew considerably. It seemed to absorb the part of Effraye that was now missing. The ring grew quickly as Effraye shrunk, the ring bashed the hell hounds, causing more blunt trauma then cutting damage.
The ring bashed against two of the hounds that had lunged at the two of them. Suddenly, the rind shrunk dramatically, and her body grew, twice the size of the original Effraye. This new found strength and the small ring made it easy for her to move, and leap the four hounds. Her foul mouth opened as she barked at the hounds, "Stupid mutts!" She muttered a few other choice words before landing lightly on the sand.
She realized she still didn't know the gender of the villagers, "You! Watch yourself!"

Yukio watched, dumbfounded as Effray'e changed size.. twice. 'Wow! Is that what Chakra can do?' She watched as Effray'e bashed in the dogs' heads. She didn't know what she could do to help.. Honestly, she felt she was more in the way. Yukio heard Effray'es warning, and jumped back a little. "What.. What do I do?" Yukio glanced behind her, some of the rocks rising off of the ground. '...That's never happened before...' she thought nervously. Yukio picked up a rock the size of a human head, and hurled it at the nearest hound.

A hound that had the rock hurled at it jumped back in defense, however it was to slow, It didn't expect the other girl to attack. The rock fell upon its leg and a loud cracking sound echoed through the area followed by various yelps and howls. Effray'e laughed as she hurled herself in the air, moving as though her fighting style was a dance, and bring the ring down, cutting the hound into two pieces, blood poured out around her.
The final dog, leaped as its friend was sliced in two and bite at Effraye's arm, latching onto it. Effray'e yelled for but a moment and then fell back into the small pool of blood, the hound chewing on her arm. Her fingers slipped off her ring and she began moving her fingers around the beasts mouth, trying to open its mouth. She was unaware that this was a hell hound and pulled her hands back as they were burned.
She looked at the village, "Get this Bitch off me!" She shouted as she kicked at the hound.

Yukio stared, dumbfounded as Effray'e ruthlessly decapitated the dog that the boulder landed on.. It all happened so fast! Some of the blood spattered her snow-white hair; she could feel the warmth fading from it. She shuddered. Suddenly, she saw the last dog lunge, and latch on to Effray'es arm. Yukio gapsed, and picked up a bigger rock. Meaning to throw it, she took a step forward, and suddenly the rocks that were levitating behind her shot forward, a few headed right for the dog's eyes. She dropped the boulder, not wanting to harm Effray'e.

The dog yelped as the rocks hit it, it released Effraye's arm and looked at Yukio, growling loudly and violently at the girl. It stepped towards her.
Effray'e held her arm as blood dripped down it and a numb sensation began to take it over. She used her good arm to grasp her ring and swung it at the hound, the hound hit the dog in its back legs. She coursed her chakra through the ring and the blade between ran through and like a chainsaw cut the hounds back legs off.
The dog howled in pain as its legs were removed from its body. Effray'e lifted the ring again as blood covered her face and the rotating blade of her ring cut into her palms. She brought the ring down on the dogs spin, a loud crushing crack resulting as a spring of blood and spinal fluid shoot from its back. The breathed heavily as the dogs body began to twitch. She looked at Yukio with a gruff grin, "THATS why the Neo Akatsuki's here for the village." She said.

Yukio flinched as the blood spattered on her skin. The pebbles behind her were still shaking, but they were no longer floating. Yukio felt a little tired. "Ah.. That's why.." She stared at the sand, stained in blood. "What ere they? Why did they attack us?" She sat down, her eyes drooping. She felt drained. Maybe it was the adrenaline wearing off.

Effray'e shook her head as she lifted her hand that wasn't numb and pushed back a lock of hair that had fallen in her face, which was now almost completely covered in blood. She shook her head, "Honestly, I'm not sure what those were..." She said as she moved her ring behind her and leaned against it, her breath finally slowing down and returning to normal.

"Well.. I want to find out." Yukio stood up, and stretched a little, trying to wake herself up. When she stretched, she faced the other direction because she didn't want to give herself away. When she turned back around, she stared at the bloody sand for a little bit. "Where did they even come from?..."

Effraye looked at the villager as it stretched, before they turned their head, Effraye was almost ready to consider the villager a female. She shook her head, not sure why the gender of this civilian mattered so much to her.
"So... you'd like to investigate then?" She asked her as she finished talking. Although she had a pretty good idea what had happened. Leader's sudden burst of chakra, the arrival of supernatural hounds that caused temporary nerve damage. She held her arm as she then remembered the floating rocks. Then only a single solution arrived in her head. Sempai. This villager had some kind of chakratelepathy technique, Sempai had told Effraye that any member of the village that had chakra could be used by them. The Neo Akatsuki.
Effraye suddenly felt like a puppet master, strings from her fingers to a marionette that was actually Yuki. She smiled at Yuki, "I suppose." She started, "We should find out."
Shiiku felt as his dogs were killed, a villager with chakra? He stood and quickly went towards the last location of a large group of his hounds. He stood on a cliff over looking Effraye and Yuki. His eyes moved to the blond with the Akatsuki robe. Teal sleeves, Orange clouds, that must have been the new member, Gekido's hopeful. He knelled, Who was with her? He watched them both from afar.

Yuikio looked at Effray'e, and nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, I want to find out. I've never seen anything like them before.. and if things like that are attacking my village, I want to see what I can do to help." Yukio shrugged one shoulder, and looked into the direction from where the gods came from. "I think that way would be our best bet.." Naturally, Yuikio was totally oblivious to the things going on around her. In her mind she thought, "Maybe, then... Brother can be proud of me for actually doing... something..."

Effraye nodded, things were going in her favor. In the Akatsuki's favor. "Well, lets start out over where they came from... perhaps we'll find tracks and follow them to their origin.". She had a huge internal grin. She felt like she was back home. Toying with people's fate, manipulating them, only to lead them to a cage.
She stood up straight, looking at her, would-be companion, "Shall we be off then?"
