Aeris — Roleplayer Guild

Rin sat at her usual desk with her hands clasped together in front of her. The girl had been quiet the whole day... Or rather, the whole time in the academy. Very rarely she had spoken and today this wouldn't change; she was paying attention to Hiro-senpai and she was already feeling sad herself by simply looking at those saddened eyes their senpai had. But... This would happen, anyway. It's not as if the graduation was an unexpected thing; and while they were losing a senpai, today would be the day that everyone went from simple students to actual shinobi- even if the lowest rank, genin; and they'd gain a sensei. That was... the key to becoming better. It took a while for Hiro-senpai to say everything she actually had to say and now she was about to inform them their squads and their jounin.

While on the outside Rin was still the same quiet, nearly untalkable girl, on the inside everything was becoming chaotic. Her thoughts twisting into a plethora of ideas of whom she'd be teamed up for the rest of her time as genin, how better she'd eventually become, the training... Missions! Would there be any dangerous one? And then..

"Squad 2 is as followed: Kurai Nara, Rin Yamakage, Ryuto Okami, and the sensei is Touzoku Hasenji."

She heard her name between the two names of other students; her eyes naturally scanning the classroom for the mentioned names. Kurai Nara. He was... pretty good, having someone such as himself on her team made her feel less tense about the 'dangerous missions subject'. Rin knew this because she had not only known him for the whole academy's duration, but she had trained with him... And done the same with Ryuto Õkami. If she could remember well... He wasn't the brightest prodigy out there, but certainly not bad, either. She didn't knew a lot about him apart from the fact that he wasn't skilled in Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, but made up by taking his taijutsu to another level. He was hardworking, and Rin could admire him for that and be happy with the fact that she'd be fighting alongside him for a while. She was glad that she had been paired with those two, since they were the closest thing to 'friends' she had. Naturally, Rin wasn't the kind of person who made too many friends.

Touzoku... Hasenji. This name wasn't completely unknown, but their sensei was the figure which Rin knew the least about. The genin smiled, leaning a bit against her chair. It was impossible to keep herself from imagining all the things which would happen now that she had finally graduated from the academy...

Yamakaze, Rin
Between the Grass and the Fire Country

The climate was sunny and nice- a refreshing change from the melancholic ever lasting rain of Amegakure. Rin was walking through a small pathway which led directly to a house- one that, by the looks of it, was apparently abandoned. But trustable information from a poor man being tortured for nearly four hours led her to believe that in there, a dangerous missing-nin was hiding. Whenever it was true or not, would be found out soon. Slowly, the ANBU approached the door- her hand raising as she was about to knock. But instead, she just twisted the doorknob, hearing the click which indicated it was unlocked, the door was slowly opened and she took a step forward in order to enter the house...

Boom!

A small sized explosion happened directly in front of the ANBU, powerful enough to break half of her mask and send her flying about ten meters behind, rolling on the ground helplessly before collapsing. A strong, intimidating laughter was heard from the inside of the house as a man wearing a dull gray quimono walked out. He had a spiky gray hair and rather brute features, although he was somewhat attractive due to those very features, his strong jaw and particularly thin nose combination being the reason. By his side, there was two katanas; one was an average katana while the other was a bit smaller. Both had pretty well worked hilts and sheathes. Slowly, his sandals touched descended the small staircase and took the man closer to Rin's unconscious body.

"I thought ANBU were a little smarter than this!"

He smiled with confidence, however the smile slowly turned into a frown when he heard a feminine voice above him; the sight he saw was a woman sitting on a tree branch while chewing on a wheat, her mask actually on the side of her head rather than covering her face.

"The fun starts now that you went out of your hiding cave, sweetheart."

The 'corpse' disappeared within a poof of smoke- and at the same time, a larger smoke covered the man. It was a smokebomb thrown by Rin. The missing-nin quickly moved out of the smoke's range, however, there was no sight of the ANBU anywhere. He placed each of his hands on each of the katana's hilts; the right hand on the upper, bigger katana and the left hand on the smaller one. His pale-white eyes trying to see her; then, he caught a glimpse of her figure running behind some trees, quickly turning him to follow the movements, his expression serious and confident.

Then, Rin suddenly surged from behind him. Another clone? The man thought, doing an extremely fast motion of unsheathing the smaller katana and trying a vertical slash at Rin; had the woman not quickly stopped and dodged, she'd certainly receive quite the cut on her chest area. She backed up, unsheathing one of the double tantos on her back. He's fast. She admitted, side-stepping his attempt to slash her again with ease this time, quickly moving to counter-attack; her lightning chakra flowing through the tanto's blade as she drove it towards the man's neck; her attempt frustrated as he parried her attack with the larger katana, the smaller one thrusting forward to impale Rin.

While she saw the attack and side-stepped, her agility wasn't enough and she received a small cut at the very side of her body, a quiet groan escaping her as blood oozed from the newly gained wound. It wasn't too deep, luckily, so she could bear with the pain as if it was nothing. Leaping back to create some distance between her and the man, she sheathed her tanto and began to make a serie of hand-seals; which the man wasn't happy about at all. He began to sprint towards Rin, unsheathing both of his katanas. "Oh no, you aren't!" He shouted, but it was a bit too late. From Rin's hands, a sphere of Ranton chakra materialized before a thick beam was shot in a straight lane; the man easily dodged, but continued moving forward and got in a dangerously close distance to Rin, his right hand already moving to strike her with his katana. However, Rin turned on her heels and moved both of her arms in his direction; the beam followed the movement, hitting the man and sending him flying backwards.

"W-What the f-ck!" With a pained grunt, the man slowly stood up. The smaller katana felt from his hand in the process, laying on the ground. He sheathed the right one as he stood up, opening a toothy grin. Clapping his hands together, he formed four seals and then extended only his left arm forward; Rin tensed up, as if expecting an attack. She readied herself to dodge... But nothing came. The man used his right hand to raise his sleeve, revealing a serie of intricate seals covering his whole left arm. The pressed his thumb against the seal ontop of his palm, murmuring something quietly to himself.

"Ten no Shirushi, Kaihō Suru!!

He slowly dragged his thumb upwards...

"Tenjō-kai no, Kaihõ Suru!"

Rin did not want to see what the rest of the seals would do; quickly, she began to run towards the man, grabbing his smaller katana which was at the ground before- she closed the distance between the two quite quickly, moving the katana down before thrusting it up in direction of his chest. Done, he'd certainly die- there was no way he could avoid an attack at this speed from this distance... Well, that was what she expected. Surprisingly, the man simply stopped the katana with his barehands, easily taking the katana from Rin's own hands and tossing it away, bending the weapon's steel slightly in the process. Rin looked up at him, his pupils had became slitted and his whole appearance had became more feral, the fangs poking out of his mouth, his eyebrows becoming thicker and his hair longer. What... Exactly was this? How he suddenly gained the strength and the speed of...- wait, an animal. That's right...

The man tried to punch her in the middle of her face; she moved both of her hands up, blocking his punch with some difficult. This strength... If she did not block it, it could have send her unconscious. This is not even his maximum capacity, if each of those seals give him more strength... There were at least five seals. What happens if he opens every seal? Rin tried to focus on the fight, but it was impossible to not think about those seals and the strength boost. She rolled backwards- and then leaped backwards as well, trying to gather some distance. Had his strength only been amplified in close-combat? If that was the case... The ANBU quickly formed a serie of seals, inhaling some air before she opened her mouth pretty widely, expelling a sphere of Ranton chakra from her mouth.

Taking the sphere in her hand; the launched it in the direction of the man, who was running in her direction now. He glanced up at the sphere- just as it exploded into a high amount of senbon-sized projectiles, all which moved quickly in direction of the man. He tried to dodge by changing directions, but the projectiles just followed him, all piercing onto his back and arms, since he protected his head using them. Grunting as loud as it was inhumanly possible, the man removed the projectiles stuck into his left arm; dragging his thumb from the second seal to the third one. Rin's eyes went wide; What now?

"Tengokutodjigoku... Kaihõ Suru!"

Suddenly, his powerful chakra started to coat his body, sending all the projectiles from his back away. The man grew in size as well, even if slightly; enough for his kimono to fall down to his sides, revealing a powerful muscular chest which was however covered by thick fur. Not hair. Fur. His fangs grew and his nails became as sharp as claws, his eyes turned into a deep red color. Rin had been wondering what would happen if he unlocked more seals, but she could already assume that each seal gave him more... savage-like appearance traits and made him stronger. By what she could assume, though, he also became less human- less responsive and less prone to logical thinking. With this in mind, perhaps she could try to trick him into something.

... There wasn't a lot of time to think about this now, however. The raging beast came charging towards Rin and all she could do was leap towards a nearby tree, using it to leap into a one. She looked down to see the man letting forth a loud howl, showing his large, intimidating fangs. It moved closer to the tree Rin was standing in, digging it's claws onto the tree's trunk and pulling it with such immense strength; slowly, the tree began to creak and break into the powerful grip of the man-beast. Rin leaped forward, onto another tree. Surprised to see how much physical strength the man had gained. Isn't this draining his chakra resources? Can he keep it up for much longer? Damn... She tried to think of something, but there wasn't time to think so quickly. The man-beast jumped from the ground; literally matching Rin's height with a single jump, he sinked his claws onto the tree and then leaped towards Rin's direction, using it's large claws to attack her; she couldn't dodge in time and received four cuts straight onto her chest and stomach, revealing a slight part of her toned body and bosom as she felt down from the tree.

Mid-fall, she placed her hands together and did the tiger seal, quickly turning to fall on her feet rather than her back. Rin began to run quickly towards the small house where the man came from, but she was crushed as the beast felt directly ontop of her... however, she just poofed; it was a clone. The man sniffed the air, glancing in the direction that the original Rin was running towards to. "Disgusting. Running away." However... he didn't bother to follow.

Meanwhile, Rin had ran in the opposite direction, managing to escape while clutching her chest. She couldn't believe she had to flee from the battle, at all. It was.. humiliating, to say the least. Her very honor as a shinobi had been insulted but between honor and her life, she had chosen the latter. She was certain that she'd return and the next time she faced this opponent, the result would be different. Right now, there was simply no means of facing him, at all.

Rin is currently on her way back to Amegakure, she bandaged her chest and had some short rest of two hours.
