The two villages

this thing turned into a free-for-all... XD

Enma considers Hache, Kane and Darian as foes...

Hache turns on Enma and tries to ally himself with Darian.. he also considers Kane as a foe.

Darian considers Enma, Hache, and Kane as foes...

Kane is neutral... and tries to help Enma... He is considered as a foe by Hache and Darian...

Well, well, well...

The two villages

"Recoil, Mikadzuki." Enma murmured as the snake rose and began to crawl clumsily towards Enma. "Darian-san always had a strong arm for a fight. Well, he does get some intense training while in the bathroom... Even Mikadzuki's scales have been severely cracked from just a piece of wood... Imagine a real sword." Enma chuckled as the snake began to coil around his body. Enma crouched as he began to calculate his next moves. Darian knows that Enma needs to 'hear' his surroundings in order to fight... In this case, Enma's strength is also his weakness. "Darian-san would strike at the perfect time where I can't hear any trace from him, and if I don't hear anything... I can't see anything. What a pickle." Enma chuckled to himself as the snake began to raise its head slowly. "You got a good scent from his attack, didn't you, Mikadzuki? Well. Track him." Enma ordered as the snake began to flick out its tongue quickly. "Envenom me, Mikadzuki."

The snake spewed a red liquid from its mouth which dripped along Enma's katana. "Go back to sniffing." Enma ordered as the snake flicked out its tongue once more. "One strike will make the difference... between his life, and my death." Enma mumbled to himself as he crouched low, readying himself for an attack. Enma's nimble fingers brushed through the bells as the hollowed tolls echoed through the woods. "Your move, Darian-san."

Enma recoiled from Kane's deflection but the fighter was quickly dispatched with the kougan's aid. The blind warrior tilted his head as Darian began to counter attack, swinging the makeshift weapon with brute force. The log might not be a real weapon, but in the hands of a man who could walk with a titanic armor, Enma was sure that it would do more than just a simple bruise if the wood collides with him. Suddenly, as Enma scraped his sword on the ground to get an info on Darian's location, he suddenly noticed that the person in front of him vanished... "Of course... Darian-san had the power of teleportation."

Suddenly, Mikadzuki hissed. Enma already knew that Darian was above them, and in a swift movement, Mikadzuki coiled its tail around Enma, and threw the Enma to a safer distance. Enma stood up quickly as he let out an angry cry of dismay as Mikadzuki was dashed to the ground with the log. The snake twitched a little bit before it remained still.

"Why... why..." Enma lamented as he plunged his sword into the ground. Suddenly, his tone changed... from a litany, it became a confident one. "Why do they always go for the snake?" Enma looked up at Darian as he stood up. "Dance, Mikadzuki."

The still snake twitched. It was apparently just playing dead. Mikadzuki twisted its head, now facing Darian. The snake opened its mouth as a crimson gas began to appear. The gas was expelled into the air as it began to cover the area around it with the noxious toxin. "Do you want to know what my poison does?"

Hahaha :) feel free XD However, I might suggest that you don't 'explicitly' say that you're gonna bash him out... Make it more... subtle.

Sorry for the delay... I was waiting for BK's post before I would reply once more. However, it might not be the case.

"One needs to make sacrifices to achieve the greater good. I am disappointed in you, Darian-san, and I thought I was blind." Enma replied coldly as he slashed his katana upwards, slicing the wood in the nick of time. "I am much necessary of taming a true reason aimed in tranquilizing or rebirth." he continued, uttering words which seemed to make no sense. " Go crazy, kougan."

Enma rang his bells while lowering his stance. In a glimpse, Enma rushed towards Darian; he was swinging his katana horizontally while keeping his charge. Then, Enma crouched and swung his blade towards Darian's feet in an attempt to immobilize him. "Sing, Mikadzuki!"

The snake appeared behind Enma as it opened its mouth, revealing its fangs once more. The snake charged at Darian, aiming to bite his throat.

The two villages

"Scream, Mikadzuki." Enma mumbled, causing the snake to face Darian before recoiling, and then, the snake lunged forward and released another crimson and noxious fog towards Darian.

"It was dark in Iga. I thought nothing could be darker than my own blindness. How wrong I was. The hearts of igans were darker than the night that I was seeing everyday." Enma coldly replied as he spun his katana between his fingers. "This land needs one united village, and only one deserves to rule."

Enma tilted his head as he sighed. "I must do what I must... Even if it means killing you." Enma continued as he turned to the kougan. "Here, you'll need your spear back." Enma tossed the spear back to its owner before turning to his former allies. "I've awoken from my nightmare... Have you?"

"Oh, don't worry. I love a good game as well." Enma chuckled as he tugged his bells. The snake recoiled as it caught the spear mid-air before giving it to Enma. "The game I like to play is 'Hold your breath'." Enma smiled as the snake separated from him while Enma jumped a few meters back, then, he pointed his blade at the kougan. "Scream, Mikadzuki."

The snake hissed loudly as it opened its mouth, revealing a pair of sharp fangs. Suddenly, Enma pointed his sword at Mirrai and Hota. "I've been waiting a LOOOOONG time for this moment. My blind eyes can see what others cannot." Enma roared. It was now or never... The die is cast, there's no more turning back.

The snake recoiled as it spewed a red fog of noxious gas at Mirrai, Hota, and Ogen. Then, Enma faced the kougan as if he could see. "Don't be too surprised. I'm merely carrying out revenge." Enma chuckled as the snake crawled towards him before coiling to a nearby tree, and pulling Enma to the top of the tree as well. "You like to play games, right kougan? Let's play a game then. A contest as to how many igans we can kill."

The two villages

"I've always told you never to let your guard down, Darian-san. This temple is only an excuse to meet those kouga face to face without fighting, however, their colors never change." Enma spoke coldly as Darian left hurriedly. Enma was now alone at the temple... Hota, Mirrai, and Darian had already left. The kougan had left as well. He had not heard of Kane for a while now, which would mean he had left as well. The young warrior knelt as he lighted an incense and clasped his hands in prayer. He began to utter a complex prayer which had seemed to be spoken in a different tongue. Afterwards, he stood up and bowed his head.

"It seems our plan is coming to fruition, Mikadzuki-sama. Your wisdom is indeed eternal. All I need to do is now step number two." Enma chuckled as he slowly walked out of the temple, tugging the red bell in the process. Suddenly, he stopped... Was there still someone in the temple?! No. It was probably nothing.

Enma ran out of the temple in hopes of catching up to them. The bells at waist ringing immensely, giving him a good view of the place around him. He tugged the red bell, allowing him to fully know the location of the fighters. It seems they had already met each other. Enma stepped out from the shadows, just a little bit nearer to Mirrai, Hota, and Ogen.

"I've been waiting a long time for this moment." Enma spoke as he revealed himself, unsheathing his katana in the process. "Still their hearts, Mikadzuki." Enma uttered in a dark and grim tone. The red bell hanging from the hilt on his katana began to vibrate as a red cloud formed around Enma. As the cloud began to fade, a green snake which was larger and longer than an average human had now appeared. It was coiled around Enma as if protecting him.

"Let's begin, shall we kouga?" Enma chuckled as he tugged his bells, giving him a good information of the place around him.

"So it was you. I guess I heard it right." Enma spoke in a cold tone as he tugged the red bell. "Your footsteps are awkward, light, and purposefully clumsy." he continued without even looking at their guest. "I don't recognize your voice nor your heartbeat... Which would mean you are part of 'them'."

Enma chuckled as he tugged the red bell once more.

"Even in perilous times, prayers are the light that people cling to. Prayer is where everyone is equally humbled by a Divine Being. Hence, I am here... to pray as it is." Enma spoke as he sighed. "You've been stalking us for quite a while now. You've asked me a question, so now it's my turn... What is your purpose here?"
