Kingdom Uzumaki

[SasuNaruVamp]

* As the sun crept up over the mountains that gave protection of Uzumaki Kingdom, the light flooded the ground. It's rays warming the dew covered ground, animals awoke and went out of their homes for a new day to run around and feed. Villagers were coming out of their homes to start their daily chores of the day, children did their chores as quickly as they could to play with their friends. Within the Castle of this fine kingdom was the King and his two sons, Cross and Okami. Kneeling in front of their dad they awaited his orders.*

King: My sons, I have a job for you. There are many troubles across the land of Akatsuki. We don't want any of it coming to our peaceful kingdom.

Cross: So basically you want us to go around righting wrong? Interesting.

Okami: Well this IS interesting. You're sending your twin sons on an adventure that will take a very long time.

Cross: Not to mention how much danger I lives will be in.

Okami: And the many people we'll meet.

*Okami and Coss looked at each other and both said the same thing*

Both: Sounds fun. When do we leave?

*Their Father smiled. If there was one thing that he knew that they cared about more than their family, it was their home.*

King: You are to leave the next day. Gather anyone you want and any equipment you think you'll need. Now, get going. I'll see you tonight in the Court with your team.

*They bowed and turned to leave.*

Cross: You up for this?

Okami: As much as I'll ever be.

Cassee would have been found in her normal spot; a decent ways away from the kingdom, a small patch in the woods. If you look closely you can just barely see the edges of the duals she wields glowering a light red.

You would also see a pure white blur jolt by her, as she kimbling dodged aside. It slid, and growled. It was a wolf; foam was seen at the mouth, so she knew, it had to be killed or else.. that, and it was bent on biting her.

Again it ran. jumped. She smirked, holding the duals out. She jolted forwards, slashing it at the underbelly. She brought up an upper stab, along with a combo of side and twirl slashes. It fell down. A lot. But it was stubborn; despite its limping, it attempted to tackle her again.

This time she brought her foot up, kicking it in the face right before it hit her. Again she jolted forwards. Another middle thrust and the dual went straight through the head. She shook her head and pulled it out, kicking the courpse aside. Pulling out a small hankercheif, she started to whipe the blood off her blades. "Grrr, where are they all coming from.." She grumbled loudly to herself.

((I had fun writing that..))

[SasuNaruVamp]

*Okami and Cross disided to go talk to Cassee first, and knowing her she was in one of three places. One outside near the castle, two outside further away from the castle, or three outside and even further away from the castle. Cross saw Cassee and got an idea. Okami was having the same idea aparently as they both snuck up behind her they noticed that she hadnt senced them so they took a deep quiet breath and shouted as loud as they could*

Both: HEY CASSEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(((><I'M SO SORRY! I didn't realize this was here! Please don't abandon it, it's so fun! And I like Ria so much!)))

Ria Baker stands outside Akatsuki castle, her eye-smartingly yellow and blue garb fluttering in the breeze. Her black husky, Aska, is off the road taking care of some "business." Her arms are beginning to hurt from the weight of her violin and drum, and she dreams of nothing more than a warm bath and a hot meal. Or maybe several hot meals.

As Aska trots toward her, his errand complete, she tells him, "I sincerely hope that your choice of action upon reaching the castle doesn't foretell what my luck will be like there." He wags his tail and bounds up the road, pausing after a few paces to make sure she's following.

"Fine then - lead on, valiant hound." Ria settles her bag more comfortably on her back - not difficult, seeing as there's no food to weigh it down - and heads off toward the castle.

In the courtyard, she finds two tall young men scaring the living spit out of a young woman with blood on her clothes. Deciding to ignore this in the name of employment, she speaks to them as she would to people who had not just killed a wolf with their bare hands and were making light of it. She adopts her stage voice, hoping to make a good first impression.

"Good day, fine sirs and lady. I am Elayna de Pinnayara, traveling musician, comedian, singer, dancer, and teller of tales from near and far. This is Aska." Recgonizing his cue, the dog walks around on his hind legs for a moment, then drops down and allows his mistress to continue. "Being an entertainer of high caliber and great illustriousness, I am seeking to perform before the king himself. Might any of you know what one such as myself might do to assure entrance into Akatsuki castle?" Hopefully, they got the gist of that, she thinks to herself. I usually have to repeat all that for the commoners...

[SasuNaruVamp]

*Noticing the girl and after hearing her words of entertainment, Okami and Cross looked at each other. And of course, being brothers they were thinking the same thing*

Cross: Father could use some...

Okami: Entertainment to liven up his spirits.

Cross: We shall take you to him..

Both: When our deed for the day is done.

[Amry]

((Cross is the older one, right?)

Ria suddenly realizes that they are saying "father" and apparently speaking about the king. Princes? He has two sons? She very nearly loses her composure, but manages to keep her face brightly lit as she discreetly looks them over. They are dressed like prosperous travelers, not like princes. The elder makes her heart go a bit faster when he turns to her, but she ignores this and tries to remain focused on the task at hand.

"Well, my lords," she says cheerfully, dropping a curtsy, "Do you mind if I tail you until your task is done? I'd really like to be clean and fed, as the leper said to the beggar." Aska wags his tail winningly, as he's been trained to do. "Perhaps I could entertain you through your chore."

[SasuNaruVamp]

Both: Please. We like to be counted as normal people.

Cross: There's no reason to bow to us. *he bowed to her*

Okami: It's a pleasure to meet you by the way. *also bowing.*

Both: We'd be honored if you joined us. *standing back up right*

*They both kept at a kind tone as they did all this.*

Okami: We can give you food, and shelter, and if you wish some cloths. Our Kingdom is very nice, and fair. Just dont attack or send armies. You wont last long.

*he said with a small laugh. Though joking, he was still a little serious. The kingdom was not something to mess with, though they were very nice.*

Cross: It's a kind offer about your entertainment but I'm not interested. Be more than glad to watch as you entertain our dad though.

*a smile on his voice as he said this. His eyes, though red and evil looking, were somehow always able to show how he was on the inside. Right now if you looked at them, you'd feel like you knew the person for a long time, and that you could trust him. Okami's however. One eye always showing good, the other ....darkness. He keeps his hair covering it, hoping to keep it that way. Not wanting to show it's evil side.*

(Cross is 16 (though the character profile says differant) and Okami is 15. Yes, he's older. I need to see if Ashley's gonna continue RPing here. Cause she hasnt posted in forever.)

[Amry]

((I guess I'll just ignore Zinny's character until I know for sure whether she's going to RP here or not.))

Ria isn't sure whether the enigmatic Cross is serious about the armies or not; nevertheless, she decides to make light of it, as is her fashion.

"Unless you fear being smacked with a violin case or danced to death I'm no danger to you."

Though she speaks superficially, she is sizing up the two princes behind her brown eyes. Red eyes? There's something you don't see every day, she thinks. And the other... he's hiding something. Something major. Maybe dangerous. I'll watch him. Aska is sniffing them both, lingering a bit on Okami. He doesn't growl, but lifts his lip over his long, white teeth infinitessimally (sp?). Ria calls him back with a flick of her hand and makes a grand stage bow, half-mocking, poking fun at them without being insulting.

"Perhaps you ought to know that since I'm not entertaining you, Elayna de Pinnayara is my stage name. I'm actually quite an average girl by the name of Ria Baker. Kindly neglect to mention so to your father, however - I find a flowery moniker makes a better impression on regal patrons." Speaking in stage voice is almost second nature to her, especially in front of royalty, no matter how "normal" they may be. "As for food and bed and whatnot - how soon might such luxuries be found? I do apologize for my impatience, but I don't suppose ones such as yourselves would know the hardships involved with being self-employed."

[Zinroth]

((Dropping-out of this RP, at least until my Dad gets my computer working again. Have a nice day.))

[Amry]

((*sniff* 'k. ))

[SasuNaruVamp]

*Okami turned to Cassee and told her about how their father wanted them to try and rid the planet of all evil so their kingdoms along with others will be protected. She diclined and said she must stay and protect it. And that one day she might join them*

Cross: We'll miss you Cassee.

*he and Okami gave her a hug goodbye and headed back towards the Kingdom with Elayna at their side, along with her dog.*
