Let me know when it's done. :)

Love Buried Within War (TC and Genkai)

The man's tone was a bit rough but she had to consider him lucky, had she not been nearby she was sure his lifeless body have been washed up on shore along with the tide. Diana pulled the man up to his feet and glanced over her shoulder, knowing there would be others who may seek her out when her presence was noting to be missing. The woman knew whatever danger may have followed Logan was something she had to take care of herself. "Logan," She spoke testing his name. "What bad people?" She asked him, not at all sure what he was implying. It was easy to note how uncomfortable the man looked, though one might attribute that to him having recently been resuscitated. "Who are they?" She pressed him.

With the man moving between her and the shore, she recalled that her training sword had been left by the cliff's edge when she had dived into the ocean. Her eyes glanced upwards, spotting a glint of sunlight reflecting off her weapon which were terribly out of reach. Diana knew she could go up and get them but she didn't feel comfortable leaving Logan to fend for himself, even if he knew the threat better than she did. She had a choice to make and soon.

Diana eyed the ocean stretched out in front of them as Logan seemed to be expecting more like him to appear. She looked to see something coming out of the top of his knuckles. She wasn't sure what he was doing or what he was capable of but she knew she couldn't leave the fighting to him. This was her home and she would defend it with her last breath. "I'll be right back!" She assured him as she took off toward the cliffs, running up along the sandy cliffs as the ground under her soon changed to more solid foundation. She reached her sword and gripped it while peering over to see two boats appear out of nowhere.

Jumping back down to the beach, she landed with a large thud, her knees bent to soften the landing. Diana stood up, sword still in hand as she hurried to rejoin Logan's at his side. "Those are the bad men you spoke of? Why are they after you, Logan?" She asked him. While she didn't sense deceit from within his soul, Diana could figure out that there was something going on. Any sort of conflict Diana came across, was something she had to resolve. It was within her nature to do so.

But before anything else could be said, the boats made land.

A dozen men marched onto the beach, having climbed off from the small boats that had been tracking Logan since his theft and subsequent escape. At the moment Diana had to put her trust in Logan, that he was someone worth defending. With her mind and motives made up, she raised her sword. As the soldiers aimed their guns, Diana hesitated, having never seen such objects before. Her eyes traveled to Logan who seemed unfazed by the men who began to fire. Unwilling to be a bystander, Diana ran forward, dodging many of the bullets that flew in her and Logan's direction. As they were out numbered, Diana was unable to keep track of all of the men; one saw an opening and aimed for her as she swung her sword, using it to shield herself from the bullets as she closed the gap and attacked those close to her.

Shikamaru toyed with the idea of having Ino already on his arm and how he would act accordingly as her boyfriend. Perhaps if he could envision already having won Ino over, he would feel more relaxed. Sakura noted that he was already letting his mind wander to the possibilities. Her eyes moved to where his hand was, still holding onto hers, testing the feel of it and the warmth, likely pretending, if not wishing she was in fact Ino Yamanaka. Shikamaru leaned back in his seat, concluding that Ino would probably not expect a lot from either them since she was aware of their inexperience and innocence.

"Yeah, we do have that advantage." Sakura considered. She moved her hands back in front of her as the boy questioned her motives for assisting him. "I think one reason would be that I want Ino to be happy...you're a good guy and I think you would be a good match for her." She considered as she stared up, thinking further. "Another reason is, well it's a little silly but I guess I wanted the company even if it's under this guise. Without Team Seven together, I'm aimless, just working in the hospital with Ino or at home reading, Lady Tsunade won't consider sending me out until I've reached Chunin level so I'm working towards that but even then I doubt she'd give me a solo mission so...I guess I wanted something new to do."

"Someone new to hang out with." She considered. "It really was a spur of the moment decision though." She admitted, not wanting Shikamaru to think too highly of her impulse decision. Their food was then delivered to them and Sakura sat up a little as she smelled the soup and sizzling meat in front of them. It was mouth watering. The medic nin grabbed her black polished wooden chopsticks and stirred the bowl of noodles, vegetables and meat. Sakura glanced to Shikamaru before she stopped to take a sip of the cooled tea beside her, before she finally dug into the meal.

After a few mouthfuls she sat back, licking the corners of her mouth. "This is a place I'm sure Ino would love." She commented. Sakura had to wonder how long it might take for her friend to view Shikamaru as boyfriend material. Though whenever that would be, she and Shikamaru would part ways, still she had wonder how long this arrangement between her and Shikamaru would last. Ino was unpredictable to say the least but it did Sakura no good to speculate the longevity of her fake relationship. She knew she just had to focus on making sure Shikamaru looked appealing in the eyes of Ino. "I can go over to her house tomorrow on my day off and pick her brain a bit more." She mentioned as she went back to eating.

Outside, Kiba and Akamaru were on their way home after an afternoon of training together. The rowdy boy passed along the window and it was Sakura's striking hair that caught his eye. Kiba slowed and peered inside, spotting Sakura with Shikamaru. Kiba grinned wide and made for the door, wanting to know about this sudden budding romance. "Hey guys!" Kiba waved as he jogged over to their table. "You two on a date?" He got right to the point.

Sakura looked from Shikamaru to Kiba and his dog. She knew it was only a matter of time that this news would spread around town but she was still getting used to answering personal questions with unflinching certainty. "Yes, uh we are." She replied, giving Kiba a small smile. Before she could hint for Kiba to leave them alone, he let out an understanding hum.

"Huh. I guess that makes sense. You two are the smartest in our class, save for Sasuke...but anyway I'm happy for you guys. I bet after you guys study together you like to have some fun, am I right?" Kiba teased them. Sakura blushed and shook her head slightly at where his mind had seemed to have wandered. "Enjoy your night, don't let me spoil your fun." Kiba laughed and headed back out. Sakura watched him go as she rubbed her forehead, not sure why Kiba had to insinuate such things. Sakura glanced back to Shikamaru.

"The only fun he has is with himself." She pouted slightly as she tried to return to her meal. She did wonder now though, what sort of assumptions would different friends make about them and what assumptions would she and Shikamaru have to correct. Though since she and Shikamaru were a new couple, she had to figure some rumors would be tough to combat, as most people loved to tell stories. "I guess we should get used that and figure out how to handle dispelling...certain rumors."

The Trick to Magic

@Homosaxophone I'm not really a fan of 'curses' in general since it tends to tends to give characters a special backstory that likely won't be resolved or even useful in the grand scheme of things. I'm almost aiming for fairy normal human characters since bringing in other races is opening a massive can of worms, so to speak. I would greatly advice against basing your character around a curse, but if you are that inclined, I would say to stick to a humanoid and to downplay the curse as much as possible since I'm assuming they're a victim of some wrongful attack OR they deserve the curse and if the latter is the case, they probably would have been left to die since these aliens save those with kind souls. XD

Thanks for running it by me, but I'd probably find a way to spin the curse a unique way that doesn't 'consume' the character's identity (both mentally and physically) and allows them to not let it define them. If that makes sense.

Fluff~~~

Family should be here soon so I'll probably have time tomorrow morning to get Naruto up. Part of me wants to have a friend walk by like Kiba or Lee and see them dining together. I'm sure Ino's gossip has only traveled so far in the span of 15 minutes.

Great~

Kindling Spirits | A Legend of Korra RP

The air between them tightened and tensed, almost thinning in a way that made it difficult to breathe. Bolin, not being one for a lot of conflict or animosity, found his own patience being tested as he listened to Korra defend her actions. She didn't regret what she did, even if it was morally questionable. He was rather torn in regards to her actions and her adamant stance in doing what she thought was right. A small part of him admired her guts as she acted on impulse, something he never did. But ultimately he was disgusted by her selfish and narrow-minded behavior, her inability to think of the consequences to her actions. She was clearly not the woman he had admired and it was all the more clear that she thought so little of him to voice her distaste for refusing to be a so-call groupie of his. He never once wanted her to be some groupie and was insulted she would insult him when she was the one wrecking relationships she had no business passing judgement on.

Bolin's heated glare followed her as he remained silent, watching Korra get up to go.

As an earth bender Bolin prided himself on being level-headed and able to withstand attacks in both the physical and verbal sense but he had heard enough of Korra's childish whining, as if she was somehow both a victim and a hero. "I am not going to forget it Korra!" He got up after her, trying to slow down his thoughts so he could sort through them. The boy moved after her, not in a heated rush but in an attempt to wade through the crowd. He gazed up at her, his heart having splintered and then shattered as his image of Korra had been completely destroyed. "You don't know me at all if you think I'm upset because you don't want to hang off my arm!" He scoffed.

By now the people around them had turned from the pro-bending match to watch two-thirds of the Fire Ferrets getting into a fight of their own. "I have been nothing but supportive of you and for you to question my friendship is a goddamn insult. I don't care that you like my brother, I can't change how you feel but honestly right now, any attraction I had to you is gone. You're not the girl I thought you were. I thought you were someone responsible and though you can be impulsive, I always valued that your heart and intentions were always good. But the fact you would selfishly act without concern for Asami is disgraceful. You have no right to judge his relationship with Asami. Are you that self-centered and arrogant that you think he went to see you so he would cheat on Asami?"

Bolin paused for a moment to collect his breath, his chest tightening as he found himself all the more upset and disappointed in Korra. "If you had any respect for Mako or Asami you would have thought before you acted. You have no idea how Mako and Asami feel about each other but the only thing you seem to care about is yourself. If you cared about Mako you would have talked to him instead of kissed him. And if you cared about Asami you wouldn't have even thought about kissing her boyfriend. Who cares if you think they're not right together? What makes you some expert on love all of a sudden? You can't even air bend. Maybe you should focus on that instead of shoving your tongue down the throat of someone who already has a girlfriend. A girlfriend I might add, who has been nothing but generous to you!"

It seemed the arena fell silent as the massive collection of spectators were focused on Bolin and Korra. The broadcaster in his booth was now commenting on the argument as opposed to the match, which had at this point, stopped for the sake of the two on the stairs. "You don't know me or Asami and you certainty don't know Mako. He told me he regrets the kiss ever happened and right now he and Asami are trying to fix the mess you caused." By now the anger had fallen from his words as he looked to Korra feeling almost sorry for how delusional she was and how foolish he had been to think she was this special girl who he had connected with. Just as he was about to voice his desire that they no longer remain friends, there was a loud crash from the ceiling.

The arena filled with smoke and Bolin coughed and turned to the platform in the middle of the venue. Many of those in the crowd rushed up to the exits and barricaded them shut. Bolin looked and saw a large metal cable descend and saw Amon holding onto it as it lowered him onto the pro-bending platform. "Amon!" Channeling his anger, he used nearby slabs of rock used during matches to create a pathway towards Amon. Before he could reach the sinister man, one of his henchmen had swung down on another cable and distracted him with hand-to-hand as Amon addressed the fearful crowd.

"Pro-bending may be a beloved sport of Republic City but it illustrates the cruel divide between benders and non-benders. I am here tonight to even the scales. Bending is a privilege abused. Why should those without bending be forced to sit on the sidelines and cheer for those who pride themselves on being better than everyone else? This city reeks of arrogance and I will bring justice to the people who deserve it. Avatar Korra, your presence here is most opportune. I will make an example of you right here in front of everyone." Amon promised.
