The Journey, The Fight, and The Unknown

[Yoshi]

((This RP is invitation only. I will ask you to come if I so wish it.))


Yoshimasa walked alone in the lonely wood. His thoughts waundered among the foliage as he basked in the dappled light. The edge of his cloak danced merrily among the blades of grass, but no sound was heard. There were no animals about, and yet, everything was so full of life and cheery that it was almost eerie. Not even a breeze blew in that stillness. Only Yoshimasa moved among the jubilant stagnation. And then, it was his voice alone which broke the silence. "I really should come here more often..." and he continued walking on his way.

[Rin]

Two pairs of eyes were set on the lone yoshi from the trees not to far away. The two stalkers look over at each other and grin. "well, should i test him now?" one of the beings, clearly feminine in form, says to the male. "not yet, lets watch him a little longer" the slightly taller man replys. Both were garbed in camouflage, ninja like robes to hide both them and their identitys.

[Yoshi]

Yoshimasa stopped for one moment, breaking the singularity of his form and thus creating a return to the purest form of the jubilant stagnation. His form miraculously melded with his environment as he become one with the stillness. He was there, and yet, his loss of motion betrayed that fact for if he did not move, there was nothing distiguishing him from the grass or the grass from the tree, or the tree from the sky. And then he stirred, breaking the peace of similitude. "That was rather odd, wouldn't you say?", he spoke only to the grass. "It was as if I achieved perfect stillness, and then lost it.", he spoke only to the trees. "And to think, it was all because of a bothersome fly.", he spoke only to the fly on his shoulder. Yoshimasa then continued on his walk, though he moved rather more slowly than before.

[Rin]

the male grins "he seems to be a bit jumpy wouldent you say?". The female glances over at him and smiles "very much so... this should be fun". Placing a hand on her shoulder the male laughs quietly "not yet oh impatient one" he says shaking his head, unable to keep from smiling as well. She pouts at him but her eyes betray her emotions so she sighs and goes back to watching yoshi.

[Yoshi]

Yoshimasa then came upon a tree. It was a very old tree, forgotten by the ages and withered with age all at the same time. Its gnarled limbs spread not only into the sky, but also permeated the air around it as if it had grown tired of growing up. Yoshimasa laid his hand upon that downtrodden ancient and looked up into the sky. No clouds, no breeze, only tree. His breath caressed it lightly, though the feeling was lost on the hard bark. His hand rubbed its surface, but no touch could feel its isolation. Yoshimasa, in a mutual understanding, climbed into those decrepit branches and just sat. However, there was no mistaking him for the tree. They were very much appart; different entities with a single purpose. They had broken the mold that made them and so must forge their own repairs. Yoshimasa spoke thus, "Oh, tree, you are here. Yet, I feel you are also over there." and he climbed from those limbs and resumed his trek, though more solemnly than before.

[Rin]

Looking over the the female the man nods. "now" he says. "inaly" the girl replys rolling her eyes with a playful smile hidden under her mask. She leaps silently from their hiding place, looking for the perfect point of attack while remaining carefully hidden.

[Yoshi]

Yoshimasa stared off into the distance, at the unending trees and the blue sky. They looked as though they were meant for each other. Two halves of a single whole. However, something had become amiss with this image of perfection. Some blemish, somewhere had upset that delicate balance. The jubilation had ended. Only cold silence remained. Yoshimasa did not continue walking.

[Rin]

Suddenly a light humming sound breaths through the silence. Barly audible in itself this was yoshi only clue to his impeding doom

[Yoshi]

Yoshimasa heard the humming. It sounded like a siren in his ears in contrast to the deathly silence of only moments before. He looked around, somewhat startled by the sudden turn of events, but only emptiness greeted his eyes. "What is this devilry?!", he called, but he assumed they fell on unhearing ears.

[Rin]

The sound was coming from a mere rock, steadily traveling towards yoshis torso. Somthing about this rock however seemed out of place, and although to a normal person it would seem a normal rock, a person with aura sight would see that it was overloaded with a fiery red aura.

[Yoshi]

The rock sped toward Yoshimasa's body. He saw it, he sensed its presence earlier, however, he could not pinpoint its existence. He quickly jumped from its path and searched frantically with his eyes for its source.

[Rin]

As yoshi jumps from the trajectory of the rock, it slams into the tree exploding on impact, and sending a hail of wood chips raining down on him. From the out from behind a nearby bush the girl emerges, her face securly hidden by her mask. "your quick yoshi, i'll give you that....." she mutters in a way that makes it hard to tell weither its a complement or a taunt

[Yoshi]

"Who are you and why are you intruding upon this place?"

[Rin]

The girl laughs "dear yoshi, i was here first...." she grins under her mask. "if anyones intruding it's you" she adds pointing towards him.

[Yoshi]

"I would say that you are not from here. This place is different than you, you are disturbing it. Why do you know my name?"
