How long has it been?How long since the man..errr...teen known as Zaiaku has last been to the meeting cactus.Atleast a couple of weeks.Usually,he would just come out here and calm his nerves and have a smoke in peace.Which is exactly what he was doing.He walked out of the Sunagakure wall,wearing his casual clothing of only his shinobi pants and sandals,no shirt.His grey skin absorbed the heat of the desert sun,but not a single drop of sweat had formed.He stopped his slow walking until he was next to the vegetation know as the cactus.The flower wasn't in bloom...sadly.With a sigh,the 15 year old took out a pack of cigars,popped on in his mouth,lit it,and inhaled deeply,a gray cloud of smoke escaping his nostrils a few seconds later.

Akiba flipped upwards and kicked out at the man's wrist breaking it. He then twisted on the man's arm. "Try to steal from me again and I'll kick your teeth in." he said in his eerily calm and singsong voice. He let the man go and started wandering towards the meeting cactus. He usually came here to admire the desert and today he was receiving a new pendant from a friend. He calmly speed up careful to keep his heavy cloak on. He was also wearing a bandages around his face shielding his features. The graceful 14 year old soon reached the cactus where he saw a massive figure standing there calmly smoking. The person had gray skin and freakish sharp fangs. He was also wearing sandals. Akiba was also wearing sandals but his were loose fitting in case he had to use his Kekkai Genkai. He was a member of the Jugo clan after all and senjutsu can naturally to him. Then again he was still a Ronin for now.

Zaiaku,out of the corner of his half open,dull red eyes,noticed a kid coming towards him.With ragged white hair and very pale skin,he looked quite femmine,though,Zaiaku didn't exactly care at the moment.He stood there in the peace and quiet,smoking,his strength easily known,as the child noticed him.He lazingly rolled his eyes,his claws taking the cigar out of his fangs and tapping some ash off before resuming to put it back.Eventually,a desert bird flew onto his shoulder.He let out a low,gutteral growl,making the bird fly away in fear.He came out here for peace and dammit that if what he will get.Even if it means ignoring the little squirt over there.

Akiba looked boredly at the massive gray...thing. He hated arrogant people. They tended to make him...tingly. He drew a kunai and lazily dragged it across his palm and watched the blood drop sluggishly onto the sand. Akiba saw a large scorpion and reflexively threw the kunai. It hissed through the air before sinking into the scorpion. Akiba saw the jewler approaching. However the man was bleeding and covered in wounds. Behind him on horseback were two men wielding long curved swords. Without a word, they advanced towards the duo at the cactus. Akiba felt his inner bloodlust awaken and knew it was too late. He went into one of his rages and with a delighted howl leapt forward and hit the first man with a transformed arm. He heard the crack of ribs and it excited him to the core.

Welp....so much for peace.Zaiaku watched as the child went into a fit of rage and used some kind of body modification jutsu.A sickening crack was heard as a punched was delivered to one of the intruding men.With a annoyed sigh,he looked to his right and saw a man running to him,wielding a kunai,ready to attack.With not much of a choice,Zaiaku lashed out,punching the man dead in the face.

The man stumbled with a spurt of blood shooting from his nose. Akiba had crushed the other man's ribcage by now and had slightly calmed down. He advanced on the other man with speed and with a graceful throw pinned him to the ground. "Would you mind telling me why you attacked here." he politely asked despite the circumstances. Akiba watched the gray giant curiously wondering how he might be taking all this.

Zaiaku let out a gutteral growl as he then turned to the kid who had currently pinned the man down,questioning him.He didn't know what as happening,nor did he care.He turned to leave,only to be met with more men.He was getting angry.

Akiba whipped his foot out and caught the man across the face. "Stay" he commanded before advancing on the other men. He flew forward at high speed and elbowed one in the stomach before cutting him with a kunai. He then flipped and slashed at the other. He received a small nick on his arm but nothing serious.
