[IC] Mission: Shadow of the Warrior

[MegaraFoxfire]

Megumi shook her head and knelt down by Bane and said "But why would someone do this to him? Unless..." She looked at James and said "The fight at the cave. What if one of them did this to him when they were fighting. We weren't there at the start. What if what the masked ninja did trigger this?" Bane stirred, turning his head.

[arowne97]

"It could be possible. That masked ninja didn't seem to want to hurt him so someone could have done this to him beforehand and the masked ninja just unknowingly caused it to wake. Hm...hang on." He pulled out a storage scroll and unsealed a bottle of ink and a brush, before starting to draw a seal on Bane's chest, after moving his necklace out of the way. When he was done he put a little bit of chakra into the seal and the seal started to work to get rid of any foreign contaminants, either physical or mental.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane started to gasp in pain, his back arching. Megumi grabbed his hand, looking at James. "I take that pain is expected?" Bane cried out in pain, the other seal on his chest glowing red.

[arowne97]

James nodded. "Yeah. Because it clears out anything that affects him negatively, whether it's other seals, or even something as small as the flu."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Megumi nodded as bane cried out, his eyes opening and glowing bright green. Megumi turned her head, hating hearing such a painful cry.

[arowne97]

James sighed and made a smaller, simpler seal out of his chakra on Bane's forehead. It was a relaxation seal, with a weak painkiller seal mixed in, to help Bane settle down.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane panted, a couple tears rolling down his cheek. Megumi got up, her hair hiding her face. "I better go check on dinner..." She left, closing the door behind her. Bane opened his eyes and said "James..."

[arowne97]

James looked at Bane. "Feeling better now?" he asked. "You were thrashing around while my medical cleansing seal was working."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane shook his head and said "I want to die right now...I didn't hurt you did I?"

[arowne97]

James shrugged. "Meh...nothing serious. I've had worse just from training." He looked at him. "Why would you want to die though?"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane shook his head and said "I would rather die then hurt my brother and Megumi...and my body feels like it wants to at the moment...where is Megumi? I didn't hurt her did I?"

[arowne97]

"Don't worry. She was over in the doorway so you didn't even notice her," James said. "And you know that my cleansing seal even gets rid of genjutsu and other seals, so you should be fine after this. Well, seals like the ones used for Jinchuuriki aren't affected, but still."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane nodded, closing his eyes. "I must have been hit during the fight at the cave...that guy did hit me with a odd hand sign...I was so worried about protecting you and Megumi I didn't see it coming..."

[arowne97]

"Ah, so he used one of the...extra...hand signs that nobody really uses. Normally those aren't useable in a fight because you either have to bend and twist your fingers in painful ways or they're slow to make and hard to memorize so many seals," James said, looking at Bane. "He probably used one of the village-specific ones, kind of like how Kirigakure has that weird stance they use for their Hidden Mist Jutsu."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane nodded, sitting up as he was starting to feel better. "I'm sorry James...I should have paid more attention..." He rolled his neck and said "So what are we going to do? I mean to help MEgumi?"

[arowne97]

"Hm...well, I have an idea. I know your dad will let us if you ask, so I need you to write a message to him and I'll send it on one of my summons," James said. "Just request a long-term A-rank mission so we can help with the investigation."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane nodded, thinking it thru. "After all...there was a murder. And the village can't handle losing its ninja right now...we would be fools to leave while they need aid" He smiled, looking like his old self again. "I'll get working on it right now"

[arowne97]

James chuckled. "They'll let us stay here. After all, we weren't put as S-Ranked in the Bingo Book for no reason. And together we have a Flee-on-Sight order for anyone that sees us working together. Or at least it was that way a few months ago when I checked."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane blinked and said "Really? Dang, we are quite the team aren't we?" He laughed then looked at James again. "Do you think Megumi will come with us??"

[arowne97]

"Not sure. I doubt it though. She'd probably want to stay and protect this village, but it wouldn't hurt to ask," James said. "Oh, and the only reason we have a flee on sight order is because of that set of collaboration jutsus we use. You know, where one of us will use water and the other lightning or one will use wind and the other will use fire."
