Maru & Raina trip to Melody Cave

Maru gets up a few hours later. "Damnit....Imma sore the whole day. Gahhh I need some wine........" Maru gets up still bloodly a bit, but he can change later. Maru wipes the blood from his mouth and limps down the mountain path. Let me go to the ramen shop....

Masa returned to the cave and place raina on the floor before him. Masa looked at the girl and tried using Maru's memory, but the previous fight weakend him and he couldn't control memory.Masa though to himself." Seems like that fight is making me weaker, not enough for Maru to regain strength though..but i feel some connection to this girl" Masa has a confused look. "Wh-who are you?"

Maru set Raina on the Cave floor. Raina looked up, frowning. "Who..am I..? Maru-san. Are you okay? Did you bump your head? It's me.. Raina Kanakosa.." She stood up and stepped forward, looking at his various scratches and bruises. "What's going on Maru-san.."

"R-Raina? That name...gahhhh...Memories..feelings? Heh Maru..." Masa looks up at Raina. Masa knows Maru is trying to regain control. "Haha I'm not Maru..Im his monsterous side.."Masa gets up and moves away a bit. "You must be that cute women i let survive back when i attacked that clan....The Cute shonobi in Maru's memory and mines..."

"Mon..mosterous.." Raina's eyes widen and she stepped back. "Wait..Maru has another ide.. The one he had when he killed my father..?" Strangely she didn't feel threaten, but she stayed cautious. She rested her hand behind her back, on Escaliborg's hilt. "So you released me from my family.. I guess I owe you thanks.." Maru's in there.. She could she Masa struggling mentally. She just had to wait.

"It was both me and Maru haha. Maru and me were one. Marumasa was our name after that day he wanted to control me and sealed me within him mind to free his deadly urges...Maru knows he is a monster. An alone beast hahaha fool needed me and now he stays ithin my mind..You can call me Masa" Masa smirked at Raina.

Raina nodded, "I-I see..." She looked to the side for a moment. Maru-san sealed Masa to prevent his deadly urges.. To protect the villagers.. Such an honorable man..She cracked a breif smile then looked back to Masa, face bare. "Wait, Maru-san's in you now? Bu-but he's our Kage. We need him.."

"Haha He will be gone sooner then you think, now I think he has hope while your here so run along as i take care of him myself." Masa's hand ignites a fire aura'd energy as he places it upon his mind. "If I fry his memory part it will be like he isn't even here anymore. You won't mind will you girly? Haha you have no real connection to him, or me." He smirks.

Raina swung her arms infront of her and began forming handsigns. "You shall not do such thing!!" She screamed and her arms bursts into flames. The scar on her neck burned from the use of her chakra. Looking at Masa, with fear, though determined eyes. "I owe a debt to Maru-san! You shall not take the closest living person I hold dear away from me!!"

"You hold him dear to you? Haha i find that a little hard to believe..." Masa shook his head whispering to himself. She could be lieing you know that so shut up. Why does she care...A she said its just a debt all buisness and honor.. Masa points his hand at you..

Raina held her flaming fists at her side, gritting her teeth now. "Give back Maru-san.."

Masa grinned his hand prepareing to send on of the hottest flames."Gah...." The flame starts to get smaller and smaller. "No one can stop me....Not even myself" The ray shoots out of Masa's hand.

Raina ducked to the side, sheilding her head from the flames with her arms. Recovering quickly she lept up and lunged at Masa, drawing back her fist and slamming it at his stomach, not wanting to hurt Maru's body. "Maru-san!!"

Masa took the hit grabbing raina and slams her to the floor. 'Stop calling him!!!"

She coughed when she was slammed, it knocked the air out of her. "Maru.. Maru-san!!" Drawing her legs back she kicked both legs into Masa's stomach, "Maru-san! Come back!!"

Masa stood still as he lifted his hands igniting with chakra energy as he struck himself in the face. Masa getting flung back, slamming into the cave wall. "how the hell....This is my body and thats the closest person i have ...thats the only person i'd die for...." Maru gained control of half of the body still pounding at himself.

Raina sat up and held her side. She watched Maaru fight with Masa internally. When he flew back and slammed into the wall. "Maru-san?!" She jumped up and tooks a few steps toward him but not beside him, incase anything happened.

Maru dealing serveral damages to himself. "Gahhhh!" Maru took out a kunai with a paralyzing tag and stabbed his gut as he fell to the floor. "M-my body...."

Raina screamed when she saw him stab himself. She rushed over to his side and caught him, falling onto her knees from the dead weight. "Ugh.. Maru-san! What can I do? Help you?" She spasticlly, scared for the bleeding and his mental state.

Maru grins still moveing taking the kunai out....."Is have me in your heart....that will keep Masa sealed away...." He faints a bit but come back into reality quickly.

Raina held her hand to her face, blushing. o///o "Eh? This isn't the time for that! You're bleeding! She laid Maru on his back and performed a series of handsigns. The chakra blazed in her hands and she pressed them to the wound. "I'm going to stop the bleeding.. Then I'll take you to the hospital to give you better help.." She held the chakra palm further and finally the bleeding stopped.
