Cruel . World (Open)

[Light]

The red head surges forward ahead of the other two, "Sensei!" the girl following behind catches up,the brown haired man beside her giving Jakkaru a worried look, "Sensei," Yuta, the girl starts, "Thank you for helping,"

"you need to be looked at?" the red head, Kise continues, questioning him.

[CrimsonMoon]

Jakkaru shakes his head and murmurs in that same monotone as ever," No. I'll be fine... But..." He frowns and eventually sinks to his knees,"... There was a wolf pack..."

[Light]

"You've seen them?!" Kise excitedly questions, "They went out just before the attack. We've been waiting for them, and we tried to go and find a clue as to what happened to them."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Why are they here..?" He asks quietly, sitting on his knees neatly despite the way blood flowed between his fingers

[Light]

Yuta makes a small worried noise, "They... They're kinda like your jackals--they think that one of our ninja is their pack leader, and follow him on missions. They help around the village and... They're like family."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Why wasn't he there?" Jakkaru asks patiently, though the throbbing pain was making himclutch his face harder

[Light]

"he's..." the girl hesitates, and Kise picks up where she left off, "He was protecting the villagers when an Akatsuki killed him. His son is still out in the woods looking for them."

[CrimsonMoon]

"... I'll find the kid," Jakkaru says after a pause, standing against and looking at the great tree in the center of the village," You have to protect it while I'm gone, or your whole village will perish."

[Light]

Two of the three gawk at him foe a moment before Kise salutes him excitedly, "Yeeees sir!"

[CrimsonMoon]

He offers the shadow of a smile and nods faintly, removing his hand from his eyes which he had closed titghly though it kept bleeding red tears," Good," Jakkaru turns his back and immediately seemed to appear on a roof top a ways away... He was getting faster

[Light]

"Sensei... Seemed kinda... Different." one of them hums, the trio walking to the tree...

"I hope he doesn't bleed to death." another chirps.

[CrimsonMoon]

Once Jakkaru reached the forest, he leapt onto a thick branch and leaned against a tree trunk, panting heavily, the pain making him more and more angry... Shukaku getting more and more excited

[Light]

The forest, having recovered from the attack, moved about its business, avoiding Jakkaru's tree. A few meters ahead though, a large branch that had been broken and left swinging falls onto the forest floor with a heavy think, startling a few animals into running for cover.

[CrimsonMoon]

Jakkaru looks up, tryig to focus his energy on finding the Wolf Shinobi's son... He casts out his chakra through the soil, breathing hard

[Light]

A few wolves were in the forest, guiding a larger chakra signature around the chaos that had occurred earlier. The middle signature was in tune with theirs, not seeming to emit any energy, just reflecting it. They seem to pause though, feeling Jakkaru sweep the forest.

[CrimsonMoon]

Jakkaru pauses, trying to lessen his Chakra output so it seemed he meant no harm... But in that instant, his eyes suddeny seemed to spear a lightning bolt of agony through his head... The chakra signature suddenly seeming to explode for a moment even though nothing moved... And disappeared as he slammed ito the ground

[Light]

The signatures start moving towards him cautiously as he falls, the wolves running ahead to check the path. They reach him quickly, the black sandals of a young child slapping against the ground.

[CrimsonMoon]

Jakkaru makes out the blurry shape of a child's feet, not daring to open his left eye that still throbbed painfully. He felt something horrible coming near... Not something someone could detect with chakra...

get up....

.... Get up.....!

Get up DAMN YOU!

[Light]

The child remains standing a few feet away, the dogs panting by his sides. "Mister," his voice floats like a distant dream as Jakkaru urges himself. "--up? Do you need help?"

[CrimsonMoon]

Jakkaru shakes his head and suddenly lunges foreward, grabbing the child and whipping around, his back to some unseen weapon as it hissed through the air and causes him to grunt as it sinks into his back,"... 'M fine," he mutters after the air falls silent again
