Under the moon, in a tree (Santa)

[Leler]

Leler sat in a tree, doing a hobby often connected to Tsuki. Spying. Tsuki was a good spyer, and it was rumored that she found both of her students that way. Leler bit her tonuge. What did her best friend enjoy in this? It was boring, until you find someone who catches your intrest plainly and fully. What a bore. Leler dropped down, and started doing what she was best known for. Drawing. Her pencil whisked across the page, and soon a brand new stage was set. It was only a sketch, but to most eyes it looked like a masterpiece. Her back against the rough bark, her knees holding up the book, Leler eventually fell asleep.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Kudo had seen this girl for sevral hours his old face and beard hung down his brown murcky eyes watched her he smiled and said "you are a good spy but you tire easily"he had been siting in the tree for a few hours and his years of anbu training made him a excelent spy his stone sword lay hidden under his long black and gray hair and his katana made of metal laided at his side

[Leler]

Leler woke with a start, and looked at the man.
"A spyer spying on the spyer? Yeah, that makes loads of sense." Leler said, before returning to her book. Her long, bluepurple bangs fell into her eyes, and she swatted them away. Annoyed,, she started a new drawing. This time, when she finished she held it up to the man.
"Do you like it?" she asked, hoping for a nod or SOME form of satisfaction. Studying him, she realized she hadn't his name.
"What's your name? I'm Leler Kuro, by the way." She asked/said, holding her drawing pad firmly by it's binding.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Kudo gave a small smile and nodded saying "it is very nice but I can tell you can do better"He was shocked at her question he looked down and said "I am kudo of the mountain I have no last name any more"he studied the area around them and said "so I take it you were spying on someone you know"he could tell this since if it was a enemy she wouldnt have been reading

[Leler]

"Thanks." Leler said, flipping to a new page. She went back and tore the old one out. Setting it next to her, she did a drawing, and this stime improved it, so it was half an inch short of her best.
"Thats stinks. Last names don't disappear. They are always there, like trees, grass, flowers, people. What WAS your last name, then?" Leler firmly answered.
"No, but if Tsuki was spying on me, I woulda been double spied." Leler said. Easily, quickly, and fluidly she threw a kunai into a nearby tree. It came back at her, with double the force. Leler threw it back, and shifted her position so she was no longer in the path of the kunai. It came at her, square at Leler's chest. Leler sighed, and caught it easily.
"Tsuki, get out here."Leler called up. The tree branch shifted, and the tall, black haired red eyed woman fell out of the tree to the ground. She stood, dusted herself off, and winced as Leler fixed her with an iron gaze. Leler threw a couple of kunais, shuriken, and a demon wind at the woman.

Tsuki was annoyed at being spotted, but even more that she was being attacked by Leler. Had Leler already forgotten the much training that she had been through? Anyways, these would be hard to block by hand, they were all over. So Tsuki drew both her katanas, swung them, and knocked each weapon off its path. In a fluid motion, she returned the katanas to there case. She fized her gaze on Kudo.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Kudo chuckled and said "it would be easy to block those for me but then again I am diffrent from most ninja."He looked at leler and said "I use to be from the buke clan till they striped me of my name they said since I killed a man to save my daughters that it was still no cause to kill so I am never to return to my clan to see my daughters or son I am no longer able to have a last name"he let out a heavy sigh his long hair blowing in the wind and he turned to tsuki and said "why do you stare at me"his murky brown eyes looked into hers giveing her a looked that would make mountains crumble

[Leler]

((ooc: 305 words, baby!))
Leler nodded, and stuck her tonuge out at Tsuki. Tsuki didn't flinch at the look or tonuge. But something within' her crumbled. She broke her restraint, and let loose. Her eyes shifted. This was the first time she EVER kept her eyes open for this part. A film slid over them, and the pupil turned green, and seeped black into the iris. She blinked, and her pupils had changed into slits. She gaped at her hands, hoping it would all stop. It only pushed it forward.
Leler saw Tsuki go through the transformation. 'Oh man, this is BAD. I better follow or she'll hate me forever.' Leler thought. She followed suit, and her eyes had followed. But Tsuki was fighting. Leler wasn't she was pushing. Leler shot ahead of Tsuki. Her hands had formed messy paws, claws and slight pads. A tail swayed behind her. Ears portuded fromt he top of her head, and fang tips stuck out from the top lip.
Tsuki fought, but couldn't control. Her hands formed better paws, hair growing between her fingers/toes. Her tail sprang from behind her and flowed, her fangs were longer and sharper. Her ears swiveled to catch every last movement. No longer able to contain it, she roared. Birds flew from leafy perchs, kids yelled about lions. Tsuki dropped forward, and soon short tan fur sprouted over her body. Now she alomst fully resembled a lioness. She growled, and stepped forward. Leler stepped back, trying to keep the snapped Jonin away from her. Leler leaped down and bit Tsuki's nose. She yelped, and jumped at Leler. Soon, the two had eachother's fangs at the other's throats. Tsuki intended to kill, and Leler intended to stop. Tsuki rushed forward, and ripped open Leler's neck.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Naito saw the two fight and just before the lionness attacked he said"earth link jutsu"suddenly a pair of hands from the earth protected leler from the claws and grabed tsuki he held each in a single earth hand made strong by chakra and the obeyed his will and said"the bound between friends should not be broken nor the bounds between student and master"his eye showed anger like no other he looked at them and said"beast bite there friends but you are not beasts not as much as you try you are still human at heart"the grip tightend on the hands of stone making it impossible for either to escape this jutsu was a technquie developed by his clan to protect and attack the earth listen to what he wanted and made his enemys tremble since this jutsu made him one with the earth and almost a absoultue master of it he could form anything of it and give life to it

[Leler]

Tsuki thrashed, not letting anything sink in. Her claws scratched. Suddenly, she was farther than she'd ever been. Her clothes disappeared, as well as her weapons. Now nothing held her back. She struggled harder and harder, before coughing. The cough sent little droplets of blood into Kudo's face. She pulled, desperatly trying to get free. All animal instincts shot in.
Leler stared at Tsuki. Then she did something she had to be dreaming to do and live.
"HISKATA!!!!" She screamed. Tsuki stopped, and stared at Leler. Leler gulped, and untransformed almost completely. Her eyes stayed the same. Almost student stared straight into Tsuki's eyes.
"Tsuki....what would Ryku want you to do?" Leler asked. TSuki shuddered, the great bottom lip wiggled, about ready to cry. Her lion hair started disappearing, and her clothes, now torn, ripped, and slightly bloody. The surge of emotions was all the sensei needed to pull herself back. Soon, she was n the same state as Leler.
"Please let me go." She whispered.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Kudo let the grip go off the two of them the eath returning to the way it was he looked at them and said"good thing you didnt fight to hard against the jutsu it would have let out spikes to calm you"he was glad they were safe his old body looked at them carefully he took a seat on the earth his body tired

[Leler]

Tsukii's hands shook as she reached a hand into her pocket. She pulled out a light pink leaf, that had little fuzzes on it. Not completly out of the jutsu, her body shook trying to keep herself in check. She carefully started pounding it. Her voice was hoarse as she spoke.
"Please watch, Kudo. Leler and I will need you to do something for us...we have to trust you."
Leler sighed. She knew the bitter leaf from the many times she'd drunk the energy revivng juices under Tsuki's expert eye. Leler knew what was coming. It was so normal, she almost backed out of the jutsu. Her eyes started to close, and she swayed.
Tsuki looked up as leaves rustled. leler was starting to go down and out! Swiftly she drew a kunai and sliced a small ribbon of blood from Leler's arm. Leler snapped back, and the jutsu was back. Tsuki smiled, and scooted the bitter liquid onto another leaf.
"please drink...it will raise your energy. You will feel better." Tsuki whispered hoarsley. She held out the leaf to Kudo. Hoping, Tsuki heard a small flutter behind her. Her head snapped around, and one lone leaf danced behind her. Her eyes widened, and she lunged for it, spilling the liquid on Kudo. Looking at the mess, she winced and started pounding another leaf, the entire time keeping the little black leaf firmly between her fingers.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

kudo looked at the liquid on him and said"ohh well this is just a old shirt it makes no diffrence"he took off his old worn out sack from his back which also had a guitar by it he took off booth and pulled out a other shirt slightly dirty and put it on he sat on the ground and took his guitar out and began to strum it slowly melodiously.His eyes closed and played it softly and calmly played and began to sing"heaven has looked down upon me and the battle has just begun and now let me countinue because I wont be done"

[Leler]

Tsuki sat back on her heels. She listened, and fingered the greasy black leaf. She knew she should wait, but she couldn't. Shuddering, she fainted.
Leler heard a thump, and looked at Tsuki. Of course, she had forgotten to give her the leaf. Leler sighed, and pried the one out from between her fingers. The purple-blue bangs fell in her face as she pounded the leaf furiously. After words, she shifted the liquid onto another leaf, and unknowning of the leafs juices power, poured it down Tsuki's throat.
Tsuki felt something being poured down her throat. It was incredibly sweet. Tsuki's eyes snapped open, and she sat up quickly. Her hands flew to her throat, and she started to spit out the liquid. She gasped and looked at Leler, and attempted her voice.
"Leler!" she croaked. Her face went rigid, and her eyes snapped into large disks. They stayed open as the rest of her body was paralyzed. Unable to help it, she fell over onto the soft, rocky ground with a thump.
"Ts-Ts-Tsuk-Tsuki?" Leler stammered, shaking her. Leler started singing, hoping that maybe she'd come around.
"I will keep calling you to see, if you're sleepin' are you dreamin' if you're dreamin' are you dreamin' of me?" Biting her lip, she looked desperatly at Kudo.
