Mikasa stood in the street of Sunagakure no sato's slums. She had kept a close eye on Her faithful servant, and knew he would be out in the street in no less than 10 minutes. so it was there that she waited. in each of her hands she held rope, the rope was connected to two hooded individuals necks, wrapping around their necks to keep the hood in place, and to prevent them from struggling. their hands were also bound. there were both standing up on either side of the Angel, basically hiding the rope from anyone standing in front of her. She planned to put on a show for everyone. One of the figures was a predominantly pregnant women, as the other was clearly a man. A second rope came from the mothers bound hands, and lead to a small child with light brown hair, who was proceed to cry until mikasa kicked him right in the face to get him to shut up. this was the stage set for sozo to walk out to. Here she would test his drive.

Sozo walked out of the shop where he was eating his meal. When Sozo walked out of the door the first thing he saw was Mikasa standing in the middle of hte street. She had two people with her they had sacks over thier heads and rope tied around their necks. It has been three weeks since he last saw Mikasa and was given his mission. some how she must have known that he was unable to achieve his second transformation. But Sozo's mind quickly went back ot Mikasa and the two people behind her. One seemed to be pregnant and the other's body type made it seem like they were a male. Sozo's heart dropped in his chest. He didn't know what was going on and why Mikasa had two people with her.

A moment of just looking at the three of them. Sozo was unsure what he should do about it. He finally asked in a curious tone "Umm... What are you doing with those two people behind you, Mistress?" Sozo's heart began racing in his chest nervous about what her response would be.

Sozo watched as Mikasa grinned and ordered him front and center. Sozo's legs started to move on there own Sozo's mind was racing around in his head. He was unsure what to do about the two people with there faces covered. But it was Mikasa she must have a reason for having them there right? But the only thing she did was shove the pregnant mother down with her lover by the looks of it. Then the words Sozo didn't want to hear come from Mikasa's mouth came out. She told Sozo to kill all of them Sozo's mind went racing faster and harder than before. His heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it would leap out of hsi chest. Sozo began wighting the options he was given kill three innocent people to prove his loyalty to Mikasa. Or spare them and face Mikasa's wrath Sozo looked into Mikasa's eyes. They were dark and cold. Sozo was never on the opposite side of that look so it was the first time he saw the look on him. It gave him chills moments passed before Sozo spoke. "Why why should I kill them?" Sozo asked coldly the pleas for their lives was defend to Sozo as Mikasa kicked the male in the gut. Sozo was unsure how this was all going to end. But he didn't want to be like the rest of the Sagaras just following orders with out question.

Mikasa slightly recoiled at Sozo's Question? Why? WHY?!? Because she owned him. Because it was his job to follow her orders to the tee without quesiton. This was just the reason she had done this little exersise... to see if Sozo would follow through with any of her given commands. Opponents on the battlefield would plead for their own lives, and make just as convincing arguments as the father had. or burst into tears as the mother had done. Or even be as young looking as the little boy, But there death was still required. that is why he needed to do it. "Because i fucking told you to do it, that is why! how dare you question me!" Mikasa shouted as she eyes filled with rage. Raiton could seen arcing all over her arm. She was furious for having Sozo question her. He was going to pay if he didn't act quickly and off the family. Her gaze was still dark but it was now filled with more. It was now filled with rage as well. Mikasa's Killing intent was being leaked into the air, sending chills down the family's spine and probably effecting Sozo too. There was no more crying from the mom, and the father and Kid stopped all noises, as Mikasa's killing intent spread fear into them. They had probably never felt something like it.

Sozo watched as Mikasa was slightly recoiled form the fact that Sozo asked a question. Was she really that shocked to see him ask a question about something like this. No matter the reason Sozo couldn't kill them. Mikasa began yelling at Sozo during her yelling something in the air changed. The air became cold the three people with hoods covering there faces grew quiet. Sozo began to get shivers up and down his spine. Mikasa's eyes grew darker filled wit rage arches of lighting crackled around her arms. Sozo was out of time as it seemed Mikasa was growing tired or waiting. Sozo was in a small hard position right now. Kill three innocent people or sever his bond with Mikasa. Sozo's mind raced around trying to come up with a answer for what to do. Only to have his mind go dark and his body start moving and arm transform. THere was a warm feeling surrounding his claw it was wet and warm. Sozo's mind was dark but when he came too he saw what it was. His claw was in the chest of Mikasa blood was dripping from his claw. It seemed that he made his choice but he wasn't happy with it. His eyes swelled up with tears as they began running down the side of his face. shaking his head in unable to wrap his mind around what he just did. "I'm sorry. I...I didn't mean to." Sozo tone was scared and sad. Sozo's mind was on verge of snapping unable ot handle the guilt of his actions.

Just as Mikasa finished yelling at him, She watched his face for a reaction. She wanted to know how he was planning on this, And mikasa watched as Sozo Snapped. Before she could even move to do anything, she felt a sharp pain in stomach, right below her rib cage. Mikasa coughed up a small amount of blood, and then she looked down. She then saw it. What she was feeling in her stomach. Sozo silver was jammed inside of, and blood was rushing everywhere. She... had... been... stabbed... Her face of Anger turn to shock, the cold air turned warm. Mikasa didn't fell angry however, she didn't feel hate, or violent at all. For the first time in forever, she didn't want to hurt someone, or even feel any emotion other then... what was it she was feeling? relieved? happiness. Yes it was both. Mikasa felt relieved. That is when it hit her. she WAS relieved. with that one move, she had been relieved from everything, her anger, her self given duty to make life hell, her violent nature, her sadness and fear. yes that was the most important. Her clinging on to the past, was gone. She no longer felt hurt, scared or sad. She looked up at Sozo with a genuine and honest smile, and placed one hand on his cheek. then she said to him "Thank you" her face said it all. She was truly grateful for the relief Sozo had brought to her, and it was apparent. She wrapped Sozo into a warm hug, but this wouldn't last long as the blood drained from her body and onto sozo's arm and into her lungs. Mikasa coughed up more blood and collapsed to the ground. Using one arm to cover her stomach as the body's natural response to stop the bleeding, she used her other hand to take a gentle hold of Sozo's hand and then looked up at him with sweet eyes, that had a small build up of tears. "Sozo?" She said, her voice sounding sweet and innocent, her words filled with something that hadn't filled mikasa words in a long time, it was something mixed with sweetness and innocence. "Will you listen to me?" her words still having the pleasant tone to them, one filled with relief, One with enough kindness to ask for Sozo's attention instead of demand it. She had come to realize all of the terrible things she had done, and knew Sozo must have been angry with her, or something, so if he wouldn't hear her last words then that was fine. She just wanted him... the one who had freed her of her curse, to hear her one last message.

Sozo removed the claw from Mikasa and looked at her. She didn't seem mad but she was shocked and looked even happy. This made Sozo even more confused in what to do the blood of Mikasa on his claw arm. He felt like throwing up but the soft touch of a hand on Sozo's cheek brought him back from his thoughts of betrayal. She thanked him. Why did she thank him? This was starting to make Sozo even more confused than before. He was about to place his hand onto Mikasa's hand on his cheek. But before he got hte change it slid away from his face making his hand only able to touch the spot that was once touched. Mikasa fell to the ground she called for Sozo in a sweet and innocent tone. While she covered the wound that Sozo gave her he rushed down to her side her hand in his. He held her hand next to his check again with tears running down his face. She then asked if he would listen to her. Sozo nodded unable to speak as he was getting flooded with emotions. He was wishing that he hadn't done what he did. But for some reason Mikasa was happy with dying. Why was she happy to die? Sozo was only able to listen to perhaps the last thing Mikasa ever says again.

The day was quiet as the small little boy lay there not thinking of anything, his mouth wide open as he slept when something woke him up. He had a bad feeling about today. He got up out of bed and for the first time in a while got changed out of his pajamas and put on his library outfit. He attempted to brush his hair only to have it be as messy as usual. He went towards the door of his house and opened it slowly and decided he would take a small flight around the area.

Spreading out his wings as the seal on his door activated and with that gust of wind he shot up into the air as he looked up into the sky, blocking out the sun with his right arm. As he flew around people looked into the sky as he spiraled around and then noticed that the people had all locked their doors for some reason. What was going on and why were things happening, but then he noticed something he had not seen in this area. Blowing in the wind was a black feather as he sped up and flew as fast as he could round and round in circles he focused as he could barely see at the speed he was flying, through the side alleys and all the open streets and then he saw someone familiar as his heart stopped.

His wings stopped working as he just fell down and crashed into the ground his wings having gone underneath him to cushion the blow at the last second. He looked up slowly as his heart began to beat again, having skipped a beat at the shock however he noticed two people and perhaps a child then looked further up ignoring the stranger then noticed blood as he looked further only to see.

"Miiikkkaaassssaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As it hit him that before him stood his Goddess, the beautiful and powerful, the strong and unyielding, the greatest of greats and the highest of high she was the Angel of Darkness and the one who would rule this world. Then why is it that she has been hurt so badly, who was this creature or monster who would attempt to take her life away. He did not recognize the man who had the arm of a mutated fur beast stabbed into Mikasa below her ribs. His mind was going crazy as he was thinking of who could come to help them, where was Sozo.

It was at this time that Noel would black out into a subconscious state of mind, the one who was killing Mikasa was his best friend Sozo. His heart then restarted as it began racing, his hair rising up slightly from how tense his feelings were. He dashed towards the man with a blinding rage as tears flew from his eyes.

"Aaahhhh!!!!!!!!!"

He would scream as he launched a kick towards the man he called friend as he could not believe he was betrayed like that. Regardless of what happened he would aim to remove the man's arm from her and try to get Mikasa to safety. At least that is what his logical mind was saying, mean while his mind was thinking that this man was a monster, a demon. No more than that this man was the Devil and lied to him all this time. He was thinking of killing the man, but his logical mind kept blocking out those thoughts as he had an intense struggle within himself.

The side of dark revenge or the side of saving Mikasa. Mikasa was more important than revenge so he would now do what ever it takes to save her.

Mikasa heard a a loud scream in her touching moment with Sozo, Mikasa looked in it's direction, and she instantly recognized the person screaming... it was... noel... what in the hell was he doing here? this was an unexpected turn.... But from the looks of it, he was targeting... Mikasa gasped out loud as she raised her hand slightly past sozo and held out and open palm, then she shot a Wave of Wind towards Noel, if it hit him it would send him back five meters, as well as leave several once inch cuts and major external bruises all over his body. Anger surfaced in Mikasa. She couldn't lose someone else. She might have to kill some one, on last time... But this time wasn't out of anger or Fear, it was out of protecting someone close to her. She couldn't lose another one. Even though she had spent a Significant amount of Time with Noel as a child, she didn't really care for him, and as such valued Sozo's life over his. Mikassa coughed up a bit more blood at the expense of some chakra, her stomach hurt but she leaned over to sozo. "help me up... i have a pest to take care of" then she would use Sozo's hand to help pull herself up into a stand. She would hold her stomach, to prevent more blood from spilling out as she gave the dark glare to Noel at this point. She was mad, and she had something to protect this time. She openned her palm out came her Black bird. she was ready to kill. Her black bird would then dash right At Noel, in hopes of slashing him in the neck. If he would dodge then she intended on redirecting the bird to his neck. she would then have raiton arching from her arm, as she stated clearly "Leave... Him... alone..." her death glare and killing intent all focused on Noel, although the other could probably feel it.

6/7 posts before death

Sozo heard a familier voice yelling at him. Sozo turned around to see a green hair Noel trying to kick him. Only to have Mikasa respond to him by sending a wave of wind towards Noel if it conected would send him back. Sozo helped Mikasa up on her feet so she can fight Noel while Sozo would run and free the three people Mikasa had ordered to be killed. He cut the ropes and took of the begs the three of them were lucky today as there lives were spared. But now where there was guilt and sadness in Sozo there was now rage towards Noel. Why did he have to come in and attack Sozo during mikasas final moments. He was now going to help Mikasa fight one last time. Sozo ran towards Noel after he noticed Mikasa launched a bird Sozo knows well. The bird of death as he calls it for that birds has been the cause of so much death in there travels together. Sozo only wished that they could have lasted longer. But his mind need to be focused on the fight a hand so he cleared his mind of all else but the fight. Sozo ran towards Noel paying attention Noel's movements. He would cut Noel off if he moved on the ground to doge the bird. After he cut off Noel he would kick him into the side of a building two meters to the right of them. After that he would try and rush him and stick his claw into Noel's head. If that didn't work and Noel went into the air Sozo would throw two shruiken at Noel in a tempt to injure him or just make him focuse his attetnion onto Sozo.

He was about to kick away the traitorous monster when in a shock to the little boy the woman he knew and loved, the goddess he worshiped and the closest thing to family he has ever had raised her hand towards him. However something in him triggered as a sense of urgency but his right wing got hit by the knock had he gone from directly behind the man things would have been more serious.

As he was knocked back some of his feathers falling to the ground as he slid on his back protected somewhat by his wings, but also hurt at the same time. He was being attacked by her even though he came to save her, what was going on. He could not make any sense of it, had she forgotten him or was it more than this. This wolf had corrupted her and had gotten close with him all just to get close to Mikasa and not the other way around. As his mind quickly rearranged the truth to suit him, he did not care for Sozo anymore and he hated being grounded as his wing was hurt and he was on the ground. His anger was building up more so than his sadness, which was something he actually picked up from Mikasa. He had an anger that while not the anger that would normally kill, it was the anger of frustration as his only other truth was that Mikasa saw him as useless and was discarding him making this a test, or she saw herself as useless and chose to have her own life taken away. However there was no way the goddess Mikasa could be useless as he had a new look of shock as Sozo was helping the dying Mikasa up by the hand.

He saw the image of a demon with dark horns and a large furry body as his imagination had completely taken over, as he saw the poor angel Mikasa bleeding from her mouth as well. He heard her ask him to help her, as she was telling him to take care of the pest Sozo. He could not believe Sozo was a pest that had to be taken care of, as he was now being serious as his hair blew in the wind. He had to think of a plan, but there was no time for that, his mind was distorting reality as the world was banished from existence. He did not expect to take her next attack lightly as she must have been manipulated into doing this as he also watched Sozo get ready to move. They were roughly ten or so meters away, it was a vague distance as the situation was too chaotic as they people had ran off.

He watched the blackbird come out as he took a back step as Sozo seemed to charge in to cut him off. As he glanced to the side of him at the man he once called friend as he got met with a kick as he blocked it with the sharp end of his windmill shuriken he pulled out from his back as he flew towards the building stopping before reaching the wall. He was not a master of battle, but he was motivated to defeat this man as he heard Mikasa state that he should leave the man alone as her arm had caused the winds to move differently as he then spoke to Sozo in a way he had never spoken before, as some tears began to flow from his eyes.

as the man rushed him as he continued to block with his folded windmill shuriken, he did not like to be pushed around like this as he activated his technique, as a sphere like barrier formed around the boy. His blade had glowed as he released the technique as the winds around him would knock back the powerful Sozo quite a distance as they would both be around twelve meters away from Mikasa during this time. He wanted to save her in time, but she was bleeding and there was no way he could defeat this man so easily. This man was ruthless and cold in missions not to mention breaking legs and arms like it was nothing. It was time for him to defeat this man and bring an end to fake friends. He had to save Mikasa, but more importantly he had to prove himself to not be some useless little kid anymore.

"Sozo, run away before you hurt yourself"

He spoke normally for the first time in years as this was no longer an ordinary meeting, it was a battle for survival and truth.

Jutsu used Kaze Surashu aka Windslash -10 chakra

Mikasa watched as Sozo moves the poor helpless people out of the way and then went to corner noel, she moved forwards almost with him so that he bird would remain in range. As Noel blocked Sozo's kick, her bird went in and slashed Noel's neck, leaving a perfect ring all the way around his neck cutting both of his carotid artery's. He was badly wounded now. he would die if he remained in this fight any longer, and unless he had picked up Healing between the last time Mikasa had saw him and now, she know there was no way for him to continue to live unless she flat out ran, but Mikasa wasn't in a mood to hurt any more people. She didn't want any more senseless killing. Too many lives had been spent at her hand. The Raiton the had been crackling began to swirl, around with what was now noticibly wind. Then it launched forwards Both her bird and her Razor Bolt swirl which covered 3 meters, was beginning to swirl around Noel as she spoke. "Noel... my dear sweet and faithful noel... i don't want to kill you... So i give you this option. Turn around and run. You injured severly from my bird, and you do not have long to live... neither do i... i would like to spend my last few moments with the one that freed me from my sorrow... from my anger, and hatred for the world... the one the freed me from my pain... So run while you can... and allow your goddess... no... Your friend... Her last moments with someone she wants to spend it with... Or, stay and ill have no choice but to murder you in cold blood... Here and now... If you make the wrong move Both my Bird and my Bolt will swarm you at this moment and Cut you into so many pieces that you will not even be able to move, And you and i will die here together. Cling to your valuable life noel... Spend the rest of eternity in happiness, knowing that i am happy. Make me happy and just leave" As she said that the bird would rest on Noel's shoulder as the bolt would circle above him. Should he chose to make another attack or movement towards her, both would come crashing in on him and continue to cut and rip at him until there was nothing left of him to cut or rip. she annouced finally with her voce growing noticibly weak, her body wanting to give out as the blood slowly drained out of her. Her arm now completely filled in it. "This Fight is over noel. But you chose how it ends, you pick your fate here and now. Which will it be.. Life or death?" If he chose life and walked away, mikasa would wait until he was finally out of sight before she would end her justu and collapse on the ground. At which point she would motion to Sozo, and if he came then she would begin to tell her the story of a little girl and her mother. Then the story of Noel the Slave. Then she would tell him how sorry she was for her actions towards him, and finally plant a kiss on his cheek. She was thankful for him in ways she couldn't express, and she meant that. and after that kiss she would lay on the ground and close her eyes, letting Death take her to the sky. If not she would stand her ground and fight on, giving her all to End noel.

[Death. maybe... depending on what Noel choses]

Chakra 100/150
-10 for maintained justu

Sozo felt a sharp pain on his shin as it made contact with Noel's Fuma Shurken cut into his leg. Cutting his shin. Out of the corner of Sozo's eye he watched as the bird did its normal move slicing the necks of its victims. He watched it in actions plenty to know the ins and outs of that bird of death. Sozo knew that there was no way Noel could live long if that wound was left untreated. Knowing the end was near Sozo jumped back seven meters never letting Noel out of his sights. But this fight wasn't over tell Noel said so. Sozo hoped that Noel would calm down and leave Mikasa and Sozo alone but he knew how Noel was. So he could see Noel wanting to continue fighting for Mikasa. Sozo waited at the ready in case Noel tried to do something funny.

Sozo watched as raition and wind danced around Noel. Sozo never saw Mikasa use this move before so he was left speechless. Hopefully that was enough to make Noel realize that he should leave and if not Sozo watched the bird land on Noels shoulder. It looked like Noel was trapped but Sozo couldn't help but feel sorry for Noel. But Noel attacked him with the attention to kill him.

There was no clear way to describe the mess of the situation that Noel was in, from the bird which continued its pursuit having hit his wing and knocking off his forehead protector that had been resting around his neck. It seemed as if she was going for the kill as the blood from his wing that splattered thickly on his neck gave the impression that he was fatally wounded.

He managed to pushback the strong Sozo as it seemed either Sozo had gotten weaker or the young little boy had become stronger since the last time they spent time together. The bird would break through becoming smaller as the mixed wind lightning that seemed to cancel out part of the effects of the wind style technique that the boy had chosen to use to knock back the larger opponent.

In the mess of jutsu and sounds he could not here anything but his name
He was still confused and he was not eager to let go of a chance to save her life as his wings were hurt even if his mind knew he was in danger he did not have the option of flying away any longer.

Meanwhile earlier that day a lady who was now charged with looking after a small green haired boy who had met with her once during his training to become a genin was patrolling the area as she was now searching for him at his house to find he was not there. She had ventured through the slums and came across several people running away from something as they shouted some nonsense about a crazy beast armed man and a black angel of death. None of this really mattered much until they added the part about a second angel with green hair, as she stopped one of them and asked for the location they just pointed as the lady made a dash for it.

The lady sighed at how troublesome this was, she just wanted to help train the boy in some basics before giving him his next mission, and here he was getting involved in something that sounded far too dangerous for a mere genin, at least if the beast and angel of death were as the people said. She reached the location swiftly and silently undetected by them as she realized they were not all too threatening at their current level, but they were being a nuisance and she did need to look after Noel. In that regard she had no choice but to intervene as she appeared behind the small little boy in an instant as all the emotion he had faded away as she knocked him out. He fell forward slowly as she grabbed him by the collar to prevent his fall as she looked with a glare to the man and then to the woman.

"You look some what familiar" as the woman looked to the man who she believed might have been a visitor. She was not sure of what was going on but she looked on to the woman who was dying and could not make sense of this. However the little boy was distressed and she knew what was most important she headed out and signaled a nearby patrol to evacuate the area to be safe until she returned from the hospital. It was unclear how, but the boy had also injured his leg as well as some bleeding from his gut as well. What had she gotten herself into she thought to herself as she left with her young charge.

Exit Thread

That classifies as a leave for Noel So Mikasa is offically dead... i guess that leaves Sozo to post and end the thread~

Rolling to intervene, will post tonight if successful- the only person in this thread being Sozo because Noel's exit is legitimate.
