Double or Nothing [Private/Mission/Daimon,Inubashiri]

Missions:

Tamashi had been told by his sensei, the Raikage, to go the the village gates and guard them.  It was a rather boring duty and not many wanted such a job.  Unfortunately, it is kinda hard to say no to the leader of the entire village.  Huffing and puffing, Tamashi made his way in a rather unhurried state toward the huge gates.  

Tamashi was solemn and quiet the entire way.  He wore black combat pants and boots with a black form-fitting shirt followed by a black ankle-length, form-fitting coat with the sleeves cut off.  His rather long sword was in its sheath on his back, the hilt sticking up pass Tamashi's head.  The day was more on the cold side, a few birds making a calm pass overhead.  

Reaching the gates, Tamashi waited nearing the middle.  He had been told that he would be meeting another genin here.  He had also been told that the reason he was being placed on patrol duty was because there were some a bunch of troublemakers who were slandering the Raikage's name.  Sighing deeply, Tamashi waited for his companion to show up.

Daimon had been assigned on a mission with another shinobi to man the village gates and guard them for the evening.  He was angry with the order however, this mission had no type of action involved in it.  All that was taking part was him standing with another person and just watching clouds move.

"Sick of this crap.  Sending me on missions full of nonsense.  Don't they have people who are supposed to do this for a full time job.  I have much too much potential to be taking part of things like this."   He mumbled under his breath as he was walking toward the gates.

To make it even worse, he was assigned a partner.  "This village continues to disrespect me.  Not only do they assign me to guard duty, but they think I'm so incompetent that they assign me a partner."  Daimon had ignored the rest of the mission details after being told where he was assigned he just simply pouted and ignored the entire speech and went ahead to the destination of his mission to join his partner.

Once he finally saw someone who fit the description of who would be joining him on this mission he nodded his head.  "Hey, you supposed to be protecting these gates today?"  He shouted with an obvious attitude as he crossed his arms and groaned leaning up against the gates.

Tamashi had been leaning nonchalantly against the walls of the massive gates. His eyes were closed and his arms crossed in front of him. His chest was barely moving up and down. It seemed as though he was sleeping, but in reality he was simply uninterested in what was going on around him. He knew that he should be paying attention. The troublemakers could make an appearance at any time to try and escape. It was rather annoying, but he just dealt with the hand he got.

Opening his eyes, he saw a figure walking toward him. The sun was behind him, so Tamashi had to shade his eyes. The rays weren't very strong due to the thick clouds partially covering the sun. Sighing heavily, Tamashi peeled himself from the sturdy walls and waited for the male genin to approach him. Tamashi had to look up at the boy to get a good look. Being 4'5" had some disadvantages that annoyed Tamashi, but he dealt with them. "So, you are my partner. I suppose you will do. Just do not get in my way. I would hate for something to happen to you because you were careless," Tamashi's cold voice stated.

Daimon saw as his comrade on the mission had removed himself from the wall and approached him, reminding Daimon to do the same.  Daimon noticed the body language of his comrade.  He guessed that his partner also wasn't that happy to be there or maybe he just didn't want to be around Daimon.  Either way, Daimon didn't give a crap at all.

Daimon heard him open his mouth, and as he heard himsay he guessed Daimon was sufficient and not to get in his way this only made Daimon that much more angry.  "Careless?  Look you worry about yourself and this mission.  I can take care of myself.  Also, watch who you are talking to.  You're the one careless of your own life if you try to order me around."

Daimon groaned and turned his head away.  "So, where are we going to begin this stake out?"  He mumbled as he stretched his arms and yawned.  Bored from the uninteresting mission so far.

Tamashi noticed the way the male composed himself. It was obvious that he disliked the mission. It was also obvious that his words had rattled him and that he was trying to keep his anger in check. The dangerous words that flew out of the other genin's mouth spoke of an evident threat against Tamashi. However, the little boy honestly did not care. Shrugging in a nonchalant manner, Tamashi decided that he would have some sort of fun from this mission. He figured he would toy with his comrade a bit by getting on his nerves.

"Well, you say I should watch who I am talking to, well then I am watching you and you is the person I am talking to so you do not have to really state the obvious," Tamashi mocked in a rather sarcastic voice. After making that comment, Tamashi entered into his thoughts as he decided on the next course of action. Of course he knew that the culprits would try to escape through the gates. It was just a matter of catching them. He looked around the surrounding area, trying to pick out the best place to hide out till they showed up. The area was pretty wide open giving little to no choice in hiding. However, there was a copse of trees near the gates off to the right side. They were pretty big and thick and looked to offer enough cover for the two of them. Tamashi pointed out what he saw and spoke in a monotone voice, There should be good enough."

Daimon heard as his minuscule comrade had continued to annoy him.  Going on to try and be a smart ass, and this only made Daimon regret having to take part of the mission even.  The only thing obvious hear is that you're an annoyance, frankly I should be out there arresting people and fighting tyrants but instead I have to stand guard watching some gates with you.  I swear I'm on the verge of pulling my hair out.  

He looked in the direction he pointed and shrugged and walked toward the cover for the two.  He didn't udnerstand what was going on exactly because of his earlier negligence to the details the Raikage had given him. i swear if I was in charge of giving myself my own missions I wouldn't have to deal with these lame tasks. He thought in the back of his head.

Tamashi did not bother with the other guy as he quickly made his way to the copse of trees that he had pointed out. Entering into the stealth of the trees, Tamashi watched as he was followed by the other guy. Deciding to give whoever he was a bit about himself, Tamashi spoke rather softly but still in a cold, monotonous voice, "My name is Tamashi and that is all you need to know."

Keeping his eyes focused on the area in front of him, even after saying what he said, Tamashi did not care of he got a reply or not. It did not take long before a small group of people to arrive at the gate. It was obvious that they were the troublemakers. They were trying to be sneaky, and were failing horribly. Counting about 4, Tamashi turned to the other guy and a smirk crossed his face. Tamashi's eyes were filled with a horrid blood-lust that was only gonna be quenched with the spilling of their blood.

Daimon would hide in the shadows of the trees making sure to conceal himself for whatever reason he was supposed to.  He heard the male introduce himself but finish the statement with that that's all Daimon needed to know.  "Like I give a damn about anything else.  The name is Daimon, Daimon Kukai. Frankly it doesn't matter if you learn more about me or not."  He mumbled under his breath as he had a small smirk

Daimon was looking and saw some people at the gates looking highly suspcious'.  He looked at Tamashi and 'he nodded his head up and down as he noticed his body language.  "That them?"  He said as he had a wide smile on his face as well. "You make the first move."

Tamashi looked back at his partner for this mission. His words registered an uncaring front on Tamashi's part, but he did find it rather amusing at how annoyed Daimon got so quickly. Turning back to the suspicious group, Tamashi dropped the sarcastic tone and words and became straight serious.

If one looked at his face, they could see the hungry look for blood making itself known. His eyes held that lust to swing his sword and send sprays of blood flying everywhere. He slid his sword slowly from its sheath on his back, the sword making a hissing sound as it slid free. Brandishing it in his right hand, he showed his acceptance of Daimon's words to let him go first by leaping from their hiding place and charging at the group in a dead run.

He closed the distance between the group and himself at Taijutsu basic speeds before cutting their path off. He stood between the group and the gate, his face a twisted form of insanity and blood-lust. "Leaving so soon?" Tamashi begin in a rather sing-song voice, "I thought we could all just get to know each other a bit better. Since you know my Raikage and sensei so well, I figured you could meet my sharp friend here. He likes meeting knew people." He now held his sword in a hugging embrace, his eyes not even really focused on the people, but his sword. He made little noises and baby words at the sword like "who's a good boy".

The group of people were unaware of Daimon, and they thought of Tamashi as just being a nut. But at the mention of the Raikage, fear grew on their face. Their thoughts swam as they figured a student of the famous and infamous Raikage would be quite powerful indeed. Especially since that student seemed to have a couple screws loose. However, the thought and obvious feel of being free was too tempting to them and one decided to risk it and go for the gate. With uncanny speed, Tamashi brought his sword down in a diagonal slash across this man's chest who tried to get past him. "Don't be rude," he stated rather uncaringly.

Daimon smirked at his partner as he saw him charge toward the group.  He could tell this guy had some type of emotional blockage regarding this mission and that was why he was assigned up.  It was either that or he was just really serious about his work.  Daimon could respect that a bit.

He would follow his partner's lead and walk out of the bushes and start to run after them.  The group didn't seem that confident in their skills, but if they were assigned to a mission to take care of them they must be some type of minor threat.  Daimon had to be observant of that, but also knowing him, he figured they were weak compared to his own self.

Daimon as he speed closer to the group, he sped past his partner and sent a punch straight to one of the members of the group's face sending him stumbling backwards on his ass as he backed up and stood right next to his partner.

"I don't know why we were assigned to kick your ass, but since we were I'm going to go ahead and kick your ass."  He shouted flexing his arms as he smiled his typical confident cocky smile. "Also I never, ever joke about kicking someone's ass."

Tamashi watched the man that he had slashed with little remorse fall in a heap to the ground. Blood spurted rapidly from the deep wound on his chest. Shaking his head at the weak form that lied dying at his feet, he turned back to the rest of the group. Suddenly, he felt the wind rustle slightly as a form sped past him.

He realized that Daimon was making his move, and with some obvious good form and technique, he easily knocked one of the members of the group flat onto his but. Smirking, Tamashi sheathed his swords and followed up by leaping over Daimon and slamming his right foot into the next man's face before he could react. The action threw the man back, knocking him out. Too easy."

Daimon, still distracted basking in his own glory.  He saw out of the corner of his eye someone was charging toward him.  Daimon saw as he got low and was aiming toward his lower body, possibly trying to tackle him.  

As he approached Daimon, Daimon shot his legs back quickly and put his weight on top of the man sending him face first into the ground.  Daimon was able to hold the man down.  He put both of his hands on his opponent's head and kept him steady and started to send knees into the back of his skull over and over.  Repeating each knee until he knew his opponent was knocked out.

He looked, and saw his partner had knocked another person out and saw the rest of the group fleeing and he smiled.  "Well, you just going to let them go?"  He asked with a sarcastic tone smirking.

Tamashi turned to his partner. His face was rather confused at Daimon's question. "Umm, maybe all that fighting made you a little dizzy, but if you look a little harder than you will notice that there are no other criminals. There was only 4," Tamashi said, rather slowly so as to make sure Daimon understood what he was saying. He even made some wild gestures to emphasize his point, all the while enjoying the little act he was putting on that involved making fun of the other genin.

"Anyways," Tamashi begin, stretching himself and sighing heavily, "it is time to take these scumbags to prison and get on with our merry little day. Lets hurry and get this over with. I am getting sleepy and I do not wanna look at any of yal another minute." With saying that, Tamashi made the movement to drag 2 of the criminals away although one looked to be dead. That one was the one Tamashi had cut.

~Exit

Daimon had stared and looked at all the people laying on the ground.  "Oh...I guess I was hallucinating."  He mumbled as he glared at his partner.  Even if he was wrong, he was still pissed the guy would point it out.  Daimon yawned and started to stretch his arms out as he walked up to the fallen bodies.

Daimon picked up the other target that wasn't dead and tossed him over his shoulder and looked at the other fallen one. "You didn't really need to kill him."  He mumbled under his breath as he shook his head and would join his partner in escorting the criminals to prison.
