Rinko was looking down, her eyes brimming with tears. "M-Mazku.." was the only thing she uttered. She was so ashamed for allowing this to happen. Her face was burning. "I'm so weak," she thought to herself, "so weak, all I ever do is get in the way. Mazu, all he does is protect me.." She lowered her head even further, a few tears spilling. She was trembling.
Karasu's eyes widened as she saw that Kaseo had her cousin captive. "He would use such a method?" She looked, and saw that her partner was on the ground. She hopped up, and trotted towards him. She knelt as his side, and said, "Get up. You might want to see this." She offered her arm, her good one.

Mazuku dropped his head before standing up and sending a wicked glare at Kaseo. "Don't worry Rin-chan! I'll train you! After all this..." He looked at Kaseo and straightened his neck, as if exposing it to Kaseo. "I'll make you stronger then everyone here!" He nearly shouted. He remembered how he used to be... he would have laid down his life for her, but he wasn't so young... and he wasn't so naive. He closed his eyes and stared at Kaseo with violent intent. "How dare you... how dare you hold a child as a shield." He lowered his brow as his eyes turned to a purple color, similar to how they had earlier.
"How dare I." Kaseo replied, dangling Rinko a bit, "Try and stop me."
Reizo worked his way onto his hind quarters and shook his head, as if that would dismiss his dizziness. He looked forward and saw the situation... How could Kaseo you such a tactic? And how could Mazuku not use the opportunity to blow through the hostage to get to Kaseo. It appalled him but fascinated him at the same time, "How can that man... be Onikaru's father?" He questioned

Karasu knelt beside her partner. All she could do was watch. Her cousin looked so small and weak compared to the two powerful people at either sides of her. Karasu almost felt bad for Rinko. She shook her head, not allowing pity of all things to invade her mind. In her hand, she clutched the medicine, tempted to put it on her screaming arm.
Rinko thought about what Mazuku had said-- about training her. She'd enjoy not being so weak anymore. Rinko still had her head lowered, thinking of anything she could do to aid Mazu.. anything at all. She sighed. Really, there was nothing she could do.

Mazuku smiled, "Everything'll be over in an instant Rin-chan... " His purple eyes strangely nearly matched her own eyes. His, however, were locked onto Kaseo. Who looked at him skeptically, as if he didn't believe the Onikage, and was anxious to see what else he could do.
Reality suddenly twisted, it began to turn and distort itself. Colors became negatives of what they really were and Mazuku's body slowly faded away. Everything seemed empty and soulless suddenly. The sound of metal against metal was heard and then a slashing noise followed by the sound of torn flesh. The sounds repeated themselves over and over again. Kaseo began to feel stings and cuts, but he didn't know how to react to them. He tried to drop the girl and try to block himself but he couldn't move. He gasped as another cut was lashed around his arm.
It was gen-jutsu. To everyone besides Kaseo, Mazuku was simply laying blunt lashes across his body with the backside of his blade. Mazuku snapped his fingers and Kaseo fell down, his arms convulsing and his eyes attempting to roll into the back of his head. Mazuku dropped his blade and opened his arms to support his young friend after the short fall to the ground after Kaseo released her, "Rin-chan." He began, "Your alright, am I correct?" He said.

Rinko stiffened and stood still while the gen jutsu was going on. Her eyes were closed tightly, unsure of what was going on. She could hear the person holding her captive getting hit with something. Suddenly, after the snap of fingers, the person let go. She fell forward into Mazuku's arms and stayed there. Tears were once again spilling down her cheeks. She nodded in response to his question, trying not to sob.
Karasu stood up abruptly. "We would have never stood a chance against this man." She looked at Reizo, and said, "Well, we've got a lot of work to do before we can even break his arms." She clenched her burnt arm's fist, hearing the crackle of her charred flesh. She watched her cousin in Mazuku's arms. Karasu stepped sideways, giving them a final glance, and began to walk away.

Reizo's eyes widened as one of the strongest of the Hakumei Seidei fell onto the ice. He stood up, angry that once again, they hadn't been able to kill, apprehend, or assault the Jinchuriki. He let out a small shout and turned around, beginning to follow his partner, not hinting towards interest in Kaseo in the least.
Mazuku turned and looked the two of them as they walked away. He smiled and shouted, "Hey! You two!" He began, seemingly happily, "I have a feeling the next time I see you... you'll be plenty stronger." He said with a wide grin [avatar! FTFW] He looked down at Rinko and smiled before he released the child from his comforting hold. "Listen Rin-chan." He said with a smile, "We can find the Ice Village another day... let's get you back to camp."

"You better believe it," was Karasu's only response, but she said it more to herself. The cold wind blew back her bangs, and her eyes simply stared ahead. She wanted to get out of the cold area. She carefully opened the ointment, and spread it on her arm, wincing while doing so. Her eyes widened, surprised at how swiftly her burns healed. The scars from the previous battle were still there, however. She pocketed the ointment, and continued to walk.
Rinko still had her head down, and nodded while Mazuku spoke. "Yes.. alright.." She looked up, and watched her cousin and partner walk away. "I'm sorry, Mazuku.. I wish I could be more of a help to you.."

Reizo looked at his partner, he already seemed to have gotten used to the fact that he only had one arm, he spoke in a harsh tone that radiated cockiness, "Gah, I can't believe that we lost... twice in a row! How shameful!" For whatever reason, his tone sounded as if it was directed at her. He didn't even know why, perhaps it was because she dropped out of the fight towards the end.
Mazuku smiled at patted her head before touching her and both of them vanishing from the area, as he took them back to camp with his Hionishin no Jutsu.

Karasu ignored his what-seemed-to-be insult that directed at her. She stared ahead, also burning with shame. How ere they ever to kill a Jinchuriki? Instead of responding, she simply sighed, more to herself. She was tired of the cold. "Let's just get out of here," she said without much of a tone.
Rinko closed her eyes tightly as they teleported back to camp. She was sure she'd never get used to that sensation. She hugged herself, and ran her hands up and down her arms, trying to regain some heat. Rinko sighed, and said, "I guess I'll have to start training now, if I'm ever to be any use to you.."
