Okay, keep a lookout. I can do that. I CAN do that right? As Thundra pulled his blade out and padded along the floor, Ayura moved his hand behind him. His searching hand came upon the smooth worn wood of his bow. It was a remnant of a better time, an item from his father who gave him and his sister matching ones to go hunting in the swamps around their home. It had been so fun, staking out and stalking an animal. Most of the time they missed, but occasionally they would hit. During those times, the rush of adrenaline was unlike any other as the pair would jump and holler. Now though the situation was reversed. He was prey, and if push came to shove he'd have to use the bow to protect himself and Thundra along with him. After all, he can't have his newest companion dying on him.

The strain of jumping from branch to branch and weaving his way through the tree tops was tiring though. Soon he felt exhaustion beginning to seep into his body. Labored breaths and the dripping sweat even in the frigid cold signaled such, yet every time he would consider giving up a howl from an animal would push him forward. Glancing behind Ayura rappidly scanned the path behind them for a signal of their pursuers. Thankfully they weren't in eyesight yet. As they continued their treck though, he began to hear howling from different directions. It seems that maybe the pack had split up? Thundra had mentioned seeing others in the woods, either the monsters had decided that they could hunt down all parties in the areaor they had split up to corner a single prey from all sides. As of now they just had to keep pushing forward as Ayura kept a sharp eye for any movement around them.

• Fear is what kept Mi-jin in place. She wasn’t going to back away and run now. Even as she seen the fearsome pack run quickly upon them.”Uwaa!” Mi-jin couldn’t hold back the scare shout as she jumped back from the first snap of the beast jaw (E-rank dodge). Barely out of range from becoming the hound chew toy. Mi-jin forces her feet to step backward from the second beast attack. (2nd E-rank dodge) Mi-jin carefully aims and threw one senbon at the closest beast to her(1 e-rank attacks). Hoping to aim for it throat or eyes. Hoping the pain would deter them from trying to gang up on her again. The beasts were smaller, but Mi-jin treated them as dangerous as the one that spoke to her. They were still larger than any dog Mi-jin has seen before, but in Mi-jin eyes, they were still a threat and her fear kept her on her toes.
  
  
  Before she was attacked, Mi-jin could see that two larger dog of the pack. She was supposed to distract one, but Mi-jin recalls if Buki gets hurt. They might not be able to fix him without parts. “Over here! I have flesh!” Mi-jin shouted. She waves her open palm that was still drenched in Kumiho palm.”

tab The Hounds of Pride thundered towards their pray, their senses reached to the extreme as they charged after Ayura and Thundra. As they moved the larger hound, black fur marred with evil red streaks and glyphs, jerked its head to the right causing two of the smaller hounds to break off and accelerate, their lithe bodies burning with renewed energy as they circled around to move ahead of Thundra. Fast as they were their forms were not beyond the speed of Thundra, but their single minded tenacity brought them slightly ahead as Thundra made his last lunge, and as he did they howled and lunged for the attack (two unranked attacks).
tab Ayura was left to deal with the larger and its companion, both of which gave chase with eager, husky breaths telling just how much they desired to eat. The smaller juked suddenly to the left as the bigger threw back its head as black fire dripped from its jaws. Lunging forward the jaws parted and a wave of fire was unleashed (D - ranked Fire attack, Complex in Nature). The technique burned with unholy fire, and yet moved much like a liquid, the flames spraying forth instead of rushing as normal fire would.

With his blade drawn, the young Senju would take a firm grip with his right hand and come to a complete stop when he saw the two Hounds approach him with ferocity and greed. "Well, Mister Ayura," Thundra said sarcastically. "Looks like we've got a situation on our hands. Don't let your guard down!" He roared the final words of his sentence as he moved out of the way of one of the hounds and swung his sword at the other's neck, when they got close enough for him to do so without being in the direction they had lunged in.

The beasts were upon them in a moment. As their lithe figures broke through the eerie surrounding environment it was as if time seemed to slow. His movements felt like he was sifting his hand through molasses, every inch a fight to keep going and taking insurmountable amounts of time. Within his chest he felt the thunderous pace of his own heart, pumping away as adrenaline overtook his system. In this period every second felt as if it would last for an eternity, echoing forever before resounding into finality. One. The hounds split into two groups. Two smaller ones targeting Thundra and a larger one on him. Divide and conquer as the saying went, they shouldn't stay divided for long. Two. His attention unfocused, the larger beast on him shot off a form of liquid fire. The science behind it interested Ayura enough but he knew he had to dodge and likely wouldn't be fast enough to. His sister's training in his mind, the boy focused chakra in his feet and threw himself out of the way. Tumbling to the ground, he kept low in an attempt to avoid any remnant of the attack. Three. Shouldering off the bow he had prepared earlier, his fingers wrapped around an arrow as he knocked it in the string. Concentrating on his shoulder blades, he pulled the arrow back as his eyes focused on the target: one of the beasts by Thundra. Letting his chest rise with a new breath, he held it as he kept the arrow in place. With one smooth release he let both the arrow and breath fly. In part it was as easy as when he hunted in the woods with his sister. This time there was just more on the line. Getting the second arrow in place he launched an arrow at the other beast similarly to how he had done the first. If they had any hope of dealing with this situation they had to work together, Ayura just hoped that they somehow get through this.

tab Mi-jin's attempts at distraction seemed to have an effect as the two larger that charged for Kinzoki snapped and hesitated, if only for a minute. The two slowed down and came almost to a stop, crossing each other's pats and swinging back and forth as if casing him for opportunity while also considering the options. One of the two grunted, and the center of its face split in half and opened to reveal a toothed maw that expelled what could only be considered to be a laugh. Yet it was the other that acted suddenly, planting its feet to its sides as if bracing itself. A moment later it arched its back which bulged sickeningly as the skin and fur split, black blood spilling to the earth as a pair of skeletal limbs unfolded from its body. Dripping viscera and other innards it flexed its new bone wings that were quite large for its body, but doing so caused violet light to flicker down their length. This hound moved to the side, its expression pained and pleasured at once as the flesh knitted back up, closing upon the bones. It barked once, twice, and on the third the second large one suddenly spun and lunged towards Mi-jin, the dirt and snow flying upon behind it as it charged away, leaving the bone dog behind.
tab As for the two Mi-jin had attacked before attempting to draw more attention to herself her Senbon flew true and sunk into the eye of one of the small dogs which screamed and thrashed side to side, the black blood spurting from the wound almost melodramatically. Yet as it sought to recover it's companion landed on its back and launched itself towards Mi-jin, aiming to bite her throat. Yet without the aim it could have gotten from a sturdy spring point it bore no more power than gravity and sharpness of teeth could provide (unranked nameless technique). This would have been followed up with another attack had a certain white mist not suddenly landed upon the senbon'd dog and tore out its throat (D - ranked Bite), using the weight from the fox's body to twist and rend.

tab As Thundra spun away from the bite of one hound and swung at the other the second whipped around with haste (D - ranked Dodge) and responded by lunging forward to snag the blade with its teeth, the steel being grinded by the teeth against the steel and rattling the blade likely all the way up Thundra's arm (D - ranked bite). Anchoring itself it pulled back, trying to tear the blade free. Doing so, the one that dodged turned and tried to come forward far too fast, tripping on itself and instead rolling to a stop just behind Thundra's legs. Would he be able to move in time to avoid the hound that was now at his back and not trip?
tab Perhaps he would, since the arrow from Ayura struck true, thudding between the blade-hungry hound's eyes and dropping the hound instantly. With a cracking sound the face split in two and the body dissipated into smoke, causing the second arrow to go awry and miss its target completely. This still left the final dog, who upon seeing its fellow parish retreated back into the wood, sliding behind a pair of trees and coping to a stop, huffing for air, to watch the pair.

• Mi-jin could hear her heart beating rapidly. Her senbon have struck one of the hounds in its eyes. The screams that followed was a small victory as black blood spilled from its eye. Mi-jin couldn’t let out a short scream as she saw teeth coming for her throat. She could dodge and try to parry with an attack or she could hope she moved quick enough to use the hound momentum against itself. She was fast and she ducks (E rank dodge) underneath the hound quickly and brought the blade of her knife upward, aiming for the underbelly (D rank attack). As mi-jin looked up at the senbon hound, she could see the throat being torn apart by something unseen. Loud heavy barking came from her side, She blinks rapidly as she could see from her peripheral vision dirt and snow charging for her. Something big was charging for her. At least she was able to distract one of the hounds from Buki. “uwaa, you ain’t so tough.” Mi-jin challenged. Her small victory giving her renew confidence.

"s**t." Thundra thought as the beast would chomp at his blade, grabbing hold of it. As the beast positioned itself backwards attempting to free the sword from Thundra's grip, he would play tug-of-war with the Hound for a bit before noticing it's companion that was evaded had rushed itself and tumbled along the floor for a moment. Thundra waited until the Hound was pulling enough to make it go backwards for just a moment to release his katana, in which he would immediately begin to weave hand signs the moment his hands left the blade. By the time he had released his weapon, Thundra realized the second Hound was no less than a foot away from him - too close for comfort. With this, all in a moments notice, he would quickly feint left as if he was going to run there in hopes of tricking the beasts, and would then sprint to the right to the nearest tree, regardless if they chased him or not. Leaping a little over halfway up the tree, and as soon as both of his feet landed upon the bark of the tree, Thundra sprung himself upwards vertically to the left - placing himself no more than a couple of feet above the Hounds.


A slight moment after he took to the air, however, the earth beneath him began erupting, flowing in the direction of the beasts and upwards towards Thundra. It took only a moment before the young Senju landed atop of his wave of earth. The wave began to elevate higher and higher with each passing second, but not before the emanating earth began branching off and aiming for everything within a 180-degree radius of Thundra's front side. "Begone!" he would roar before jumping backwards from atop the wave towards the Hounds. "If this fails, I really have to find a way to get my sword back.." he would think to himself, before looking at Ayura. "... and get help from a guy who actually KILLED one of these things." he'd smirk and glance at Ayura before refocusing his eyes on the dogs.

Ayura hardly noticed as the hound near him detoured into the woods.
Instead, he was focused on the hound that just got pierced by his arrows. He was intrigued both by the fact that his shot hit his mark and that upon death the beast turned into shadows dissipating into the wind. One of them down was good, now they just had to deal with the one remaining in combat with Thundra. Knocking an arrow on the bow string, Ayura flexed his shoulder blades to bring the arrow back to rest by his cheek. He let the arrow fly just as Thundra seemed to unleash a jutsu from the earth. Shielding his eyes from the rubble and dirt, he waiting to see if his shot hit while keeping an eye on the beast prowling in the woods.

Likely to Ika's relief, where he found himself was in fact not in the familiar darkness that accompanied the curse. Instead, he found himself near chilled to the bone before the world even fully reformed before his eyes. Wherever he was, this new place was coated in inches, if not over a foot of snow, sinking him up to his shins in the powdery substance. The thick trees showed he was in yet another forest, although these were mostly evergreens, with boughs standing high above the sparse undergrowth. A gray sky greeted him through the branches.

It didn't seem that Tatsumaki had accompanied him when he was transported.

However, that likely held his attention for only a short period as howling and snarling met his ears, as well as human voices in a familiar language. Other survivors perhaps? A series of hound-like creatures marred the white landscape with black blood as they struck at several figures trying to defend themselves from the onslaught.

tab A scream came from the hound shot by Ayura's next shot as the arrow sunk into its shoulder. The earth erupting shoved back the others, yet in a mad dash for freedom the hound that had been shot turned to look at Ayura in a strange way. Strange, in that its eyes suddenly changed and glistened, much like that of an insects, followed by its mouth clicking and clacking as mandibles sprouted from its flesh to meet within its mouth. It howled/screeched/chittered as the legs at its sides twitched, new segments growing inside its flesh as something dark overtook it. Yet a moment later it was back to normal, and the creature threw back its head and howled for all its worth.
tab Every hound within earshot froze instantly, their attention turning to the one whom had moments ago become an insectoid, if only for a moment. Suddenly their bodies destabilized, their faces warping, losing consistency and definition as they turned back to their very basics: shadows. At last they faded entirely, gone in seconds, leaving only the scent of death and burning life behind.
tab In the silence that followed there came a low howl from somewhere nearby, somewhere distant and yet everywhere at once. A howl that felt to resonate within the bones, if only for the moment, in all within attendance. Yet it faded a moment later, replaced instead by silence profound for its sheer lack of anything living breaking it.

As the Hounds were pushed back, Thundra would feel as if he had the upper hand. When the arrow from Ayura landed and hit the hound, he'd begin to weave more hand seals.. but would suddenly stop when he saw something that would turn his stomach a bit. The dog that Ayura struck his arrow with had begun... shape-shifting? It was abnormal. It didn't frighten the boy, but it did send shivers throughout his body. As the earthen wave came to naught, Thundra wouldn't, and frankly couldn't, take his eyes off the shifting creature. It went from.. grasshopper, cricket? It was unclear what it was doing. However, all of the creatures begun shifting, not into insect-like beings, but into ominous shadows. Literal shadows. It was like watching art being erased and redrawn at a rapid pace, but on a more disturbing level.

When the seemingly disrupted figures that used to be bloodthirsty Hounds began to shift into shadows finally and dissipated into nothingness, Thundra started into space for a second before walking over to pick up his blade and sheathe it, slowly glancing towards Ayura. "Uhhhh, okay. I'm not sure what just happened, to be honest. That was pretty crazy, huh?" Thundra let out a confused laugh. When he heard the howl that he felt within the very core of his body, he stopped immediately and looked around him until it stopped. "That, my brother, is a sign for us to leave while we can. No need to climb the trees again. Let's go, Ayura. The sun looks like it will set in about an hour or two and I need to do some things before it does." As he finished his sentence, he observed around him and found out where the direction of his house was. With that, he began walking and motioned his companion to follow him.

Honestly, a part of him was impressed. It seemed that regardless of how much time had passed and where he was in this world that his skills with the bow hadn't changed too much. As such, Ayura was baffled as he stared wide-eyed as the arrow impacted the second monstrous being. What little joy he would have felt was quickly dashed at the nightmare like scene slowly playing out before him. The creature shifted and transformed. No longer was it a wolf but instead a insectoid with segmented legs and mandibles that would tear the flesh from his bones in seconds. What transfixed him there wasn't the gruesome change but the kaleidoscope imaging in the eye. In it's glistening eyes Ayura could see a thousand versions of himself, all were still and had an abject look of horror on their faces. Yet as quickly as it started it ended. There was no insect, instead only a wounded hound that let out one final cry before it melted into a pool of shadow and a rotting stench drifting in the breeze.

Looking to his right, Ayura saw that at least Thundra seemed to be holding himself together. He seemed slightly out of it so Ayura just ended up staring at his partner while trying to prevent his legs from buckling out from under him. When the eyes of the other boy finally drifted his way Ayura give a tense smile which dissolved into a bubbling laugh as the stress gradually dissipated from his body. "Yeah. That was crazy, but we lived....somehow. Whatever joy he felt was cut loose as the sinking feeling returned. He felt it in his bones and every fiber of his being. If the hounds returned, this time they would bring death with him. Urgently looking at Thundra Ayura nodded. Yes, I...I agree. Let's go, you lead I'll follow. Maybe if there's two of us we can finish what you need to do quicker than intended.' Shouldering his bow, Ayura picked up his pace and followed after Thundra.
