Yukio nodded again. she stretched, once again turning away, and faced her again. As Yukio began to walk, some of the pebbles began to drag along behind her feet. Yukio heard them and sighed, more to herself. Her posture wasn't straight; it was of someone who had suffered a great loss. Her orange eyes peeked from behind her white hair, spotting some tracks. "There's a path we can follow."

Effray'e watched the villager as she began along the dog tracks. She pondered to how she would do this. Effray'e was normally a violent individual, given the environment she was raised in, with good reason. But she pondered still; it would be most to her benefit if she did this through diplomacy or trickery...
She started after the villager, she then noticed the lines of pebbles following her. She watched them, intrigued, she knew her leader also would be. Her feet plodded along the sandy beach as she followed the villager.
She suddenly felt bored, her lips parted as she began idle chatter, "So... you have a name?" She asked the villager in a in her alluring voice that was backed by her accent.

Yukio padded along the sand she was so used to, hearing the lazy drag of the annoying pebbles. Larger ones were continuously dropping off and joining. "My name is Yukio," she said, purposely not giving out her last name, "What's your name?" Yukio walked, back slightly bent (due to poor posture) with her head down, following the tracks. Her bright orange eyes skimmed the surface of the sand, also guessing what rocks would follow her next.

Effray'e frowned, this was so boring! She walked behind her target clumsily, watching the rocks behind her, following dogmatically. She lifted her eyebrows and looked up as the sun burst out from behind a group of grey clouds. The rays of light and heat pounded down on the two suddenly.
Effray'e sighed as she looked back down towards Yukio, the sunnow shortening their shadows.
Shiiku had been systematically following them in the distance, he watched the two as more light was created as the sun burst from its hiding place. Shiiku clasps his hands together, using a light element jutsu.
Suddenly a perfectly ripe apple drops in front of Yuki(o).

Yukio sees a shadow, rather round on the ground, steadily growing. Stepping back to see better, she looks up. "What the heck?" She reaches out her hands, and the apple lands in them with a light smack. She looks at it contemplatively. "An.. Apple?" Yukio looked at Effray'e, then to the apple, then to the sky. there were no trees that it could have fallen from.. Yukio didn't trust the apple. Not one bit. Yukio held it out of Effray'e. "Want a snack? I, personally, don't trust anything that randomly falls from the sky, and into my hands."

Effray'e blinked as the Yuki talked to her, she looked down suddenly and her eyes widened. Leaders trademark. That's how he informed people where he'd meet with them. She looked around suddenly, he must've been nearby!
She stopped looking around and grined for but a second and then maintained her neutral expression, "No... but I'll take it off your hands..." She reached towards Yuki's hand to grasp the apple. She took it from her hands and put it inside her cloak. She gave Yuki and random awkward smile and tilted her head before saying, "Shall we continue?"
Shiiku's feet hovered on the oceans surface, he dipped his chin in a nod. This girl, he could tell from the aura she gave off through his Kagegan, had a strange aura and feel about her. Useful. This was the word that floated through Shiiku's mind as he fadded from the ancles up.

Yukio let Effray'e take the apple without much hesitation, but found it rather odd that she tucked it away. She shrugged it off, and nodded. turning away, she said, "Well that's got to be the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Fruit.. falling from the sky. Fehh." She looked down again, following the tracks, but still mindful about the annoying pebbles. Usually, they weren't bothersome, but now that she was in someone else's presence, they were. She felt self-conscious. She was even beginning to wonder if Effray'e knew she wasn't really a boy. Her brows furrowed in a fit of concentration, contemplating each thought.

Effray'e noticed the look of seriousness on the face of the villager, she frowned in responce. What did she suddenly look so serious about it? Maybe Effraye was just being paranoid. She dipped her chin towards her chest and looked back towards Yukio, "Is something wrong? Yukio...Yukio-san?" She said the last part through studdering, making sure to not be rude to her 'target'. Her eyes were suddenly drawn down to the pebbles that seemed to be irritating her . She blinked, not used to doing things this way.
"So..." She said awkwardly through her accent, "How long have these... rocks been following you?" She asked, making conversation.
Shiiku's presence was like that of an iceberg on a cold night at sea, he was their his influence. Huge. But unless you ran into him, you'd never known he had been their. He watched the two girls, he was curious as to where Effray'e would drag this girl before making her move. Shiiku's patience was thin, soon, he would involve himself, in disguise of course, but he would become a part of this, if for no other reason then finding out more about the girl.
Shiiku's hands clasped together and his Kagegan began to manipulate and pull the chakra from the light around, thus changing the light around himself. His body began to change shape, change form. Something about the girls aura seemed familiar, and he used it for a reference for his disguise. The body he had chosen to mimic had been that of a village boy that Kigi, himself, and some early remnants of the 'Neo Akatsuki' had killed while acting as theives. The boy's name had registered as "Yanme". Shiiku did not stop to think that this girl could have known this body, let alone be its sister.
He began down the trail towards the two girls, sprinting at first, but slowing as he exited the brush and steeped onto the dark sandy beach. He looked over towards the two of them, his figure a complete mimic of Yukio's older brother save his eyes were slightly darker. He began walking towards the two of them, rather quickly.

(D:! No one knows she's a girl yet! Oh, and Yanme is her twin. XD)
Yukio's gaze softened a little, glad to talk to get her mind off of things. "No.. nothing's wrong.." She waited for a tiny bit, then answered Effray'es other question. "Well.. as long as I can remember.. My twin brother, Yanme.. He'd always make fun of me for it. Jokingly, of course. Yukio's orange eyes stared ahead, but began to make something out in the distance. She felt... odd.
Ignoring the feeling temporarily, she said, "I have no idea why they do that. I'm not skilled worth anything when it comes to using Chakra. I just.. use hand-to-hand. But I guess you could understand this island's never needed to teach its inhabitants how to--"
Yukio froze in her tracks, her already pale had grown a ghostly white. Her eyes were wide.
"N-No.. No! It can't be!" She took a few steps back, mindful of not bumping into Effray'e. Sure enough.. Yanme. But alive? Impossible! She shook her head, and rubbed her eyes. Still approaching. "Yan-nii..." But.. something wasn't right..

(Okay, he won't know xD)
Shiiku slowed for a moment, the girl had reacted strangely. He stared at her for a moment, had she known this boy? He supposed he would soon know. He began towards the two once again, smiling awkwardly and lifting his hand to wave at them.
Effray'e stared at the approaching boy, murderous intent in her eyes, the chakra user she couldn't touch. But this boy... Her hands tightened around her large ring and blood dripped down her palms and she smiled at the boy.

"That's.." Yukio took a half-step back, her eyes wide, her mouth open. She was shaking. she didn't return the wave-- she couldn't. Was this Yanme? No! He was dead! "Y--Yanme.." She cleared her throat, still aware that her identity would be blown if she reacted too odd.. But they looked exactly alike now! "Yanme," Yukio began again, her voice a little lower, "You're alive?.." The adrenaline pumping through Yukio was causing some of the rocks to swirl in circles around her ankles. Some of them were a few inches off of the ground, others were dragging lazily on the sand. Yukio was visibly trembling, but was trying very hard to stifle it. Suddenly an urge so powerful ran through her mind. She wanted to flee. She wanted to run as fast as she could possibly go, and leave the island. However, her legs were frozen and shaky. She stood in place, struggling to maintain her racing thoughts.

"Effraye-chan!" He said in Yanme's voice, "I was wondering where you had ran off to!" Shiiku in his disguise moved his hands into his pockets and looked at the other girl, she looked scared, as if she'd seen a ghost, he had to act good. "Whos this?" he asked, "She looks... somehow familiar."
Effraye posed for a fight, " 'Where you had run off to'?" She mocked, "As if you know me! Look at my robs villager! I'm a member of the Neo Akatsuki, I could kill you for addressing without the suffix of 'sama'." She stared at the boy.

Yukio was still dumb-founded and shocked. "Yanme!!" She covered her mouth, shocked at both him not recognizing her, and her sudden outburst. "Yanme, Its me! Your..." She looked around, not sure if she should give herself away just yet. "You should know me!" Yukio stepped infront of Effray'e, not meaning to cut her off in any way. Yukio frowned. Yanme had been her closest friend.. her brother.. He couldn't even remember her! She clenched her fists, some of the bigger rocks coming off of the ground to join the smaller ones, each circling her calves and ankles. She wasn't sure if this WAS Yanme... but he looked like it..

His eyes quickly flickered at Effraye as if to relay a message. Suddenly the apple began to vibrate in Effraye's cloak. She jumped slightly, 'it couldn't be!' she thought, 'is this 'leader'?' She had never acctually seen him so she didn't know. Her eyes grew and she stared at him.
He lifted his hands towards the girl quickly, "Hey!" He said quickly, "I think she could explain it better..." Yanme's body pointed at Effraye, who reacted with a slight jump. Her lips and voice began to have a mind of their own, she spoke but she wasn't doing it, "We found Yanme here a couple of years ago, near death, we took him to our compound and when he woke up he couldn't remember anything save his name, 'Yanme'." Shiiku explained through Effraye.
She fell from his control, he really was a good, she stared at him with awe, but didn't sempai say he only had one eye?

Yukio stared, bewildered at Effray'e as she told the story. "I... I see," Yukio said, feeling a little relief. Her brother was okay.. She sighed, physically feeling her heart break-- really not knowing why. "Well... Alright." Her gaze was downcast, and most of the pebbles fell weakly, plopping lightly into the sand. Yukio could feel her emotions locking themselves away, deep inside herself. She was in shock. How could sh react? Her brother was dead when she found him-- DEAD! The story didn't correspond to her memory. She saw him in the living room, she felt his pulse. She knelt beside him and cried for hours, she saw him in his casket. "Stop it," she scolded herself.
She pulled herself away from her thoughts-- this was too much to process. This wasn't Yanme, it couldn't be... but she wanted it to be so much. Yukio stared idly at the ground, not sure if she was able to speak.

Shiiku stared at her for a moment -- he was disgusted as he understood now, this was this Yanme boy's sibling. The memory of plucking his younger sister's left eye from its socket before leaving her to die played through his mind and he thought to himself, 'Such a thing as love between siblings is unexistent.' -- What he did next was hard, but this person would be much easier, and quieter, to deal with if they thought that this was their older brother, back from the dead.
Shiiku's false body smiled a amazingly sly false smile as he wrapped his arms around the villager and he whispered, "I don't know why... but I think I know... knew... you, and this feels like what I should do." His eyes move to Effray'e again, and again she was moving without wanting to.
"You don't look like you believe me..." Shiiku took a risk, "The doctors that work for the Neo Akatsuki are quite impressive. They could dig up a body, replace it with a false, repair the battered body and reanimate the dead one by repairing it and injecting it with enough chakra to jump-start it..." She slumped slightly as Shiiku's prescense left her body again.

(Yukio has both of her eyes. o.O)
Yukio gasped as Yanme put his arms around her. It felt.. So wrong. Awkwardly, she lifted her arms, and patted his back lightly. She then stepped away, trying to examine Yanme better. This wasn't right.. She couldn't help but shudder-- His hug just wasn't the same. The impulse to run came so suddenly that Yukio actually stepped away again. She had to stop herself. "That's..." She glances back at Effray'e, aware that she had moved. Yukio could feel the ground beneath her feet shaking-- only lightly. "Oh, Yanme.. That's incredible." Yuukio was sure, by now, her attempts to mask who she really was were failing. What if they found out she was actually the missing Yuki from the Kosari clan? would they kill her? Would they torture her?
Such thoughts caused her to visibly shudder again. "My god!" she thought, "I must look like a fool!" Aloud, she said, "Effray'e-san.. We... We should follow the tracks.. From the dogs.."

(Shiiku plucked his sister's eye)
Effray'e moved slightly as the person talked to her, "Oh! I-I had forgotten!" She said quickly before looking at Shiiku in disguise, "Y-yanme-san... " she said nervously, knowing it was her leader, "W-w-would you like to accompany us? We were attacked by super-earthly muts... were looking for where they came from."
Shiiku stared at both the girls, how ruthless Effray'e seemed she could be, it seemed he had made a correct choice in letting her join. "Sure... I'll come with you."

(Ohh, gosh, okay. My bad. ^^')
Yukio quickly began walking, not really waiting for the others. She needed to get moving somewhere-- anywhere. Oh, how did she get wrapped up in all of this?.. Well, she wanted her brother, there he was. Behind her. Back from the dead. Yukio wanted to scream. This was crazy! Instead, with her brows heavily furrowed with confusion and direction-less anger, she strode on, her eyes on the ground. Following the tracks. Something bad was going to happen... Maybe the dogs would come back. Or she'd turn around and Yanme would be gone. Proof that she really had gone crazy, maybe. She squeezed her eyes shut, and a tear spilled down her cheek, but wad dried before it could reach her chin. She said nothing.

Shiiku frowned, she hadn't fell for it after all that. He stared at her, he wanted to see her power, he looked back at Effray'e-- her eyes were burning holes in his back; she hadn't stop staring at him since he showed up. 'What a nuisance' he had thought, she was ruthless and devious, but easily distracted.
Shiiku looked at Yuki through his single eye, thought it appeared that he had two., he needed to get her on his side, maybe he wanted this to crush any hopes of hers, after all sibling love was his pet peeve. How could he though? He continued to watch her back from behind.

Larger pebbles followed her uselessly, dragging softly on the ground behind her feet. Smaller ones were a few inches off of the ground. Her fists were clenched. Yukio was fuming. She glared emptily at the ground ahead of her, fully focusing on the tracks. She could feel Yanme staring at her from behind-- his gaze felt like it burned. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and neck. It took all of her willpower to keep from whirling around and confronting Yanme. "This is all madness!" She shouted in her mind, "This isn't leading anywhere! Maybe.. Maybe I'm dreaming. Maybe this is all a psycho dream, and I'm still asleep under a palm tree on the warm beach.." Yukio shuddered.

It was sudden-- almost instant. Once Shiiku saw the girls ability up close he decided to act. Effray'e's eyes rolled back and she slumped to her knees before falling face-down in the dirt. The guise on Shiiku quickly began to deteriorate, Yanme's body being replaced by the man who killed him. Shiiku glared at Yanme before Effraye, her body changing to a wide array of colors before simply disappearing.
His hand stretches out and he grasps Yukio wrist tightly, "It's been awhile...." He said assuming she must have found a good hiding place when they killed her brother and simply 'got lucky' this would make it seem like he let her live.
"I think its time for you... to come with me."

Yukio could feel a very tight grip on her wrist-- and a voice. Not Yanme's, but... familiar. She whirled around, and looked to see. She gasped, and the pebbles spiralled away from her ankles, in short quick bursts. "You.... YOU!" She pulled her free hand back into a fist, wanting to smash this person's face in. Her orange eyes seemed to filter to a bloody red, masked and dripping with hatered. "You!! you're the one who-- Who--" Yukio was enraged. Everything in her body began to tremble with violent rage. "You killed Yamne! It was you!!" She jerked her hand back, still aware of the painful tight grip. the ground began to tremble lightly under her feet. "NO! I won't come with you! Never!"

On these islands, Shiiku was thought to be a god, and with good reason. His body exploded in a bright array of blinding light and reappeared behind Yukio. He examined her, her eyes had seemed to change, was it the hate that caused this? Or another sign of chakra adaptation.
He shook his head as he cast a shadow over her, "Your naive. There is no such thing as love between siblings. Only a fierce rivalry that evolves into jealousy. Then that jealousy morphs into a deep, dark, hate. You should love me for killing Yanme." This warped logic made since to Shiiku, he had lived his life by this rule.
"Maybe, you should use your head." He taunted, becoming impatient quickly, "I am god to these villagers, I'd never hurt them without good reason... Why would I kill your brother? I certainly would need a reason. Perhaps a kitten had informed me he had planed to kill you? Why else would I have keep you alive?"
Malice coursed through his blood as he wove this lie, hoping he could get her to believe him. That way he wouldn't need hurt this chakra adapt.

Her eyes darkened even further when he dissapeared. As she spoke from behind her, her shoulders trembled with rage. She glared at the ground. When he said that bit about Yanme, she whirled around and yelled, "NO! You're a monster! Yanme loved me! He was my brother! He protected me with all of his heart! He died for me, don't you get that?! He DIED for me!" Her eyes were almost black now, aided by the shadow of her hair. She was visibly trembling, her fists clenched so tight, her nails were beginning ro draw blood from her palm. She suddenly realized she may have given herself-- her gender, at least, away by how she shreiked.
The earth's slight shaking remained constant. She stared into Shiiku's eyes, multiple waves of hate and anger battering her like a mad storm. She wanted to kill this person. Not just kill-- destory. But he was right.. He was like a god amoung these weak villagers. What damage could she possible deal to him? She felt like giving up. This was ridiculous! "Just kill me, then! You killed my dear Yanme, kill me, too!"

He blinked his single eye at the young girl, his plan was working. She had given up, his job was half done. He got in to character as he extended his right hand to her, his palm sticking out. "You must understand. A god never kills his lamb without a just cause; and one lamb killing another is just cause." He bent down a little, he felt no fear from this girl, if she knew how to use her power she would have by now. He looked at her and spoke once more, "If it means anything, you can come with me... you'll be trained in how to use your unique power, and then you can try and kill me. I know you want to... I can see the hate in your eyes... its overwhelming you, if you weren't so smart you'd already would have tried and already have died..."
He smiled a dark, grim smile that looked unnatural one his face, "So... why not come with me? It'll end with one of us dieing."

She stepped away from his hand, and faced him sideways. "I'd no sooner die than become one of your pets!" She glared at him with fierce intensity. He was trying to manipulate her.. And Yuki knew it all too well. She was hurt, enraged, and slightly suicidal. Too much had happened, and she felt as if she were losing her mind. not being able to help it, she grinned. She looked psychotic; her smile and her near-black eyes.. "I'm not going to join you.! If you consider these people of the island you're sheep, consider me a-- A horse! I'm not one of your little pets; and i won't be made into another one of your killing machines!" Yuki stared him down, heavily debating whether it would be worth it to attack him, or to run. either way, she would end up dead.

He stared at her, his fake look of kindness was gone. She was pushing him, and he had enough; and it seemed she had too. Her sanity was slipping away, and THAT was something he needed. She needed.
His eye grew and a array of color emitted from his body. The green wave consumed the both of them. He had to stabilize her, they both needed her sanity and she was losing it.
The jutsu he had activated was another for of his kekkei genkai. This one used a unique color element to manipulate ones emotions. This particular jutsu amplified the brains deposits of dopamine and causes the victim to become happy, whether they want to or not.
His eye began to twitch as he poured chakra around the two of them. His muscles began to tense, he was preparing to incapacitate her if she was able to escape this jutsu.

Yuki's eyes widened, and she gasped a little. All that color! She violently shook her head, and shouted, "What the hell is this?!" she leaped backwards, some of the larger rocks hurling themselves at Shiiku. She shut her eyes, and pinched herself until she bled. She had to remain intact with the real world, otherwise she'd be consumed with whatever he was trying to do. "Don't you get it?!" She said, her eyes opening, now darker than ever, "I'll never join you! Not after what you've done! You'd be better off to just destroy me!"

Shiiku had had enough of this. Almost before she could finish talking he rushed her-- his speed on par with the best. He appeared directly in front of her on one foot, his arms bent and his other foot compressed back. With a single burst, he kicked at the girl, sand around him being pushed back by the force of the kick. Even during the kick, his single eye glared at her through the blowing sands.
