[b]The Empire's glorious castle walls[/b] 

The Empress' lack of reply when Yakoul suggested to go out and finish off the giant monstrosity was worrying the cat-like creature that served as bodyguard for the head of the hierarchy. As they walked out in order to witness the sheer immensity of the monster, a drop of sweat flowed down Yakoul's cheek as it could sense Shukaku's gathering of power, it was preparing to form a Bijuudama despite getting hit all around by the high ranked lackeys of the Empire. Shoko had complete control over the next decision to be taken, and Yakoul remained calmly behind her without saying a single word. It had already acted too impulsively a few minutes ago, it did not want to repeat such a mistake again and risk belittling its image toward its master. The Empress ordered Yakoul to stay behind while the rebellious female they had captured would be asked to follow the almighty head of the area. 

[b]"R-right m'lady..."[/b]

Responded Yakoul, still worried but completely submitted to the ruler's intentions. As both females disappeared using the body flicker technique, Yakoul took the freedom to sit itself on the edge of the castle's wall, legs crossed and hands set on its knees. The monster made itself comfortable while viewing Shoko's quick execution of techniques in order to subdue the tailed beast. From the majestic stabbing to the unholy sealing, Yakoul stared in awe, visualizing how amazing its master truly was and how the creature was grateful to have her as a prominent leader. However after the little action scene, the cat quickly got bored and instead took into account all the delicious dead bodies lying around. But there was a dilemma: The empress ordered her bodyguard to stay put, so only one thing could be done. Oozing out of its shoulder would be a giant mass of brown-like liquid that quickly took the form of a child's body. Upon completing itself in a matter of seconds, it was obvious that Yakoul had split itself into two. Both the original and the fission jutsu clone both appeared to be near the age of twelve years old.The newborn clone jumped down the wall while the progenitor remained in its post, obeying so loyally to it master. 

The clone started by looking for basic katana (the type Sasuke had) without any chakra or special abilities on them. Once a few of these were found, it swallowed them all one by one thanks to its generic sealing in its body, allowing it to store random stuff in its body. The Frankenstein creation had not finished its scavenge however as it found a nearly dead young man with his abdomen slightly cut open. The clone glared at him for a second, its child-like cat eyes trying to grasp what kind of decision would be wise. He was alive, so it would be fun to play with him a little more later during the day, but he could also die fairly quickly with a wound. That wasn't too much of a problem because Yakoul liked them better dead anyway, but the satisfaction of desiring its food and sex objects was very powerful. The clone had turned into a sage, having only half its face darkened and its eye turning completely yellow in order to have its mouth enlarged in ridiculous levels so the half-dead man would fit in there, only to be warped in some abandoned shed far, far away in the desert. 

While the clone was having itself likely treasure hunt, the original's ears would perk up and twitch a couple of times as it recognized Remi's voice communicating with a hornet. They were speaking a bizarre language, probably the kind hornets use. Yakoul didn't need to understand the conversation to link it to what it started to feel by itself. Yakoul could sense it, using a sixth sense barely understandable by even itself, something was going on in the lands not too far from here. Something big and bloody. The powerful senses of Yakoul were not enough to grasp what was this far, but a war monger such as itself could easily feel such an eerie atmosphere coming from a faraway area. The monster formed a small grin that underlined its curiosity for whatever mysterious things it was feeling. Placing its index finger over its lips and the think cat claw poking its lower lips, it muttered to itself its impatient excitement for what was to occur. 

[b]"Oooohhh I just know something spicy's going to happen. Mmmmmhmmmm Someone's going to have a nice dinner~"[/b]

Patiently, it waited for the others to come back in the castle and report whatever they may have heard. Yakoul braced itself for stupendous news!
