Rina's near death encounter

Ranaka stepped out from the shadows. He approached Rina with a colda ura about him. A large, zanbatou poked over his left shoulder as he stopped.

"What's a pretty thing like you doing out here alone?" He asked in a strange, overexcited voice. The sound of slurping could be heard from beneath this mask.
Koizumi, Rina opened her eyes and turned around to face the man. She would raise an eyebrow towards him. Though her eyes held no emotion..no light.

"Bored..hunting..nice mask and blade..you make them yourself?"
Minamoto, Sho walked from the west as he confronted a man and a girl. He stood there quiet.
Ranaka asks: I found them, just like how I found yours. If you would be so kind ... as to give it to me?
Koizumi, Rina asks: And if I dont?
Ranaka stepped forward and laughed. The sound of slurping and licking could be heard from behind his mask.

"Then I'll do a lot more to you than just take your sword."
Minamoto, Sho began sprinting towards the masked figure. He had heard enough. He moved quickly to engage the masked figure, reaching for the hilt of his katana before leaping up into the air.

He was going to unsheath his blade quickly, aiming for a deep and direct cut at the figure's side.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" He roared.
Koizumi, Rina remembered seeing the man who came to help her before in Konoha. Somthing in her came to life. The memories of her time in Konoha, laughing and having fun with those of it. Her eyes came to life, she knew that she couldnt just stand here and do nothing. She would quickly reach her arm up to the side of her armor and pull somthing out. She would quickly whip her hand out releasing a kunai towards the man in the mask. She was determined to take out the man, she needed a mask and a new blade would be quite nice as well.

She was just an idiot that ruined everything, however from this day forth that would be no more. She was determined to change, determined to help those around her and create a world where no one will have to be hurt. She was determined to show Hiromaru that she wanted to fix what she had done.

The kunai would be aimed at the mans throat, her hand would already be reaching down to the hilt of her katana by the time the kunai would even reach him.
Ranaka would have seen Rina's attempt at using her kunai. The masked man decided not to pull his blade out. The masked figure, despite having their vision somewhat impaired by the small eye holes of the mask, would have seen and heard everything he needed to know.

He would have moved to the side with unbelievable speed in order to avoid the kunai. Turning to Sho, who he had heard coming, the masked figure would have ducked to avoid the slash, only to pick the samurai up by his wrists to gain full control over his arm movements. With unbelievable strength, the masked figure would have thrown Sho toward Rina.
Minamoto, Sho 's eyes widened. He had not fought against somebody so quickly and strong strong since he last fought against Shoterius.

He missed his slash on the masked figure and ended up having his wrists grabbed on to. He tried tugging free, but the man's strength was greater than his own. He would have tried kicking at Ranaka, only to have been thrown towards Rina. As a last minute attempt at an attack, Sho would have throw his blade toward the masked figure's chest to try dealing some sort of damage.

He was like a doll being thrown around as he flew back toward Rina.
Koizumi, Rina eyes widdened as the masked man quickly dodged and grabbed Sho and threw him at her. She couldnt move in time. She was such an idiot for accepting a mission while pregnant. She would be knocked over easily as Sho slammed into her. A gasp would come from her as it caught her off guard.
Koizumi, Rina thinks: Only had three more months to go..now look at what you got yourself into..
Ranaka moved to the side again, only to grab on to the hilt of the flying katana. "A silly boyfriend trying to protect his little precious?" The man asked. He threw the katana away and reached for his own zanbatou. He moved closer.

"I'm going to enjoy cutting you up and tasting the both of you. One last chance, little girl, give me your sword or I'll do more than just that. I like it when they struggle, but only when it's to tease me."
Minamoto, Sho collided with Rina. As he fell to the ground, the proud samurai would have winced in pain. He wanted to protect her. He wanted to help Rina from the assailant. The masked figure was too strong for Sho, he knew that much. But, he didn't believe that it would be just to allow somebody alone to suffer such a fate. Motivation filled his body as Sho gritted his teeth.

Pushing himself up, the man in red armour would have reached for a kunai strapped to his right thigh. He pushed himself forward while still on the ground and aimed to stab the figure in the chest.

"I WON'T LET YOU TOUCH HER!"
Koizumi, Rina would reach over to her katana and grip it. She would begin to try and unhook it with the one arm she had due to Sho being on her. Then Sho pushing himself up and charged the man in the mask. Her other arm would be free now, she would unhook the katana and just hold it. She would wait to give it up though.

One of her hands would make its way over to her stomach. She had to protect Aya. She would beable to get another katana in the future, a weapon is replaceable.
Ranaka watched as Sho attempted to foolishly try stabbing him. The masked man would allow Sho to do this, only for Sho to discover that he was wearing thick armour beneath his black clothes. A loud scratching noise would be heard echoing across the wilderness as he grabbed Sho's left wrist with his free hand. The massive zanbatou remained in his opposite hand.

He pulled Sho down, throwing him into the ground, only to raise his body up into the air again. He would smash Sho down, raise him up, smash him down, and then raise him up again. Sho's wrist would likely break under the pressure of his immense strength along with a few ribs.

Ranaka would continue smashing him into the ground in front of Rina. A loud slurp echoed from his mask. "You're going to be next." He said, throwing a battered Sho on top of his katana.
Minamoto, Sho 's eyes widened again when he realised he would not cut through into Ranaka's chest. He grimaced as he felt the masked figure's hand wrap around his wrist. He tried pulling away in vain as he was thrown into the ground. His ribs cracked loud. Ranaka raised him up, and swung him into the ground again like a rag doll. His ankles cracked. He was risen up, only to be thrown into the ground against face first. Sho's nose went crackalack.

Sho's body raised up again, blood dripping down his nose and lips, before being thrown into the ground again. A bone in his chest cracked and splurted with blood. He had been thrown so hard that parts of his skin were about to burst open with cracked bones. Every swing made him cry in pain before he would finally be left barely conscious on top of his katana.
Koizumi, Rina slowly shook her head. She would throw her katana out infront of her and onto the ground for the masked man to take. Her body would be shaking from fear as she watched the masked man slam Sho into the ground multiple times easily. She would close her eyes and try to search..to search for anyone...anything..just somthing..to help her..she did not want to die. She did not want Aya to die for a foolish mistake she made. Tears would be flowing from the girls eyes as she frantically searched for a chakra signature.
Ranaka says: Heh .. good, but since you've struggled for this long I'd better take more to compensate.
Koizumi, Rina asks: H-huh..w-what..d-do..you want..?
Ranaka says: That sweet fertile fruit of yours.
Koizumi, Rina asks: Huh...?
Auroa, Lithos stepped out from the north. He had been drinking from the nearby streams and lakes when he had heard a commotion down south. He stopped just north of them while he listened to the masked figure talk. He could see an extremely beat up samurai man and a dark haired woman throwing out a katana.

"I advise that you leave," he said. He was disgusted by Ranaka's desire for fertile fruit. "I am not a fan of conflict."
Minamoto, Sho remained on the ground slipping in and out of consciousness. He had been beaten up really badly.
Ranaka says: No, I advise that -you- leave. Find another girl to taste.
Koizumi, Rina opened her eyes slowly. She was unable to see clearly due to the tears in her eyes. The new voice she heard..was..this man here to help her? By his words it sounded like it. All she wanted was for Aya to be safe.
Ranaka jumped into the air and landed to the eastern patch of dirt from Lithos. He turned to Lithos and smirked. "Not sure what village you're from," he said. "But a shinobi's a shinobi. Stay out of this. This is your only warning." A loud slurping sound echoed from his mask as he swung the giant blade left and right.
Auroa, Lithos took in a deep breath while he turned to Ranaka. "Take the wounded samurai to your destination," he said. "I do not appreciate rogues telling me what to do. I'll handle this." He slowly removed what appeared to be a blue type of instrument. It seemed out of this world in its design.
Ranaka asks: Oh, do you want to die?
Ranaka says: I'm not going to just let them walk away, old man.
Auroa, Lithos says: You will.
Ranaka says: So a squinty eye shit with a flute is going to make me let them go? You're an idiot.
Koizumi, Rina slowly nodded her head at the mans words. She would reach up and wipe the tears from her eyes before standing up. She would lean down and pick up the two katana that were on the ground. She would hook hers back onto her waist and then hook Sho's onto his waist. She would then lean down and place her arm under Sho's shoulder. Her other arm would hold his arm in place. She would slowly begin to lift him up into a standing position, hoping that he would help if he was conscious. She would slowly make her way off in the direction of Kirigakure.
Koizumi, Rina picks up Katana.
Minamoto, Sho picks up Katana.
Minamoto, Sho let out a grunt, realising that they were being saved. While he was slipping in and out of consciousness, the samurai was able to shift his weight accordingly to help the pregnant girl help him.
Ranaka let out a laugh. He dashed forward, but not at the Kumogakure shinobi. He was going straight for Rina with the intent of cutting into her leg with a horizontal slash.
You grab Minamoto, Sho.
Auroa, Lithos 's eyes narrowed. Rather than use his flute in close proximity to Sho and Rina, he knew he had to combat the foe more directly first. He leapt forward and began sprinting at an unbelievable speed. He jumped up and aimed a kick at Ranaka's shoulder in an attempt to intercept him.
Koizumi, Rina didnt even notice Ranaka making his way to her. If Lithos did not intervene the masked man she would have easily been cut. Her focus was all on making her way to Kirigakure, she had to get Sho medical attention and she had to get help for the man who was helping her. She would make her way forward much more, however she was getting exhausted quickly. Being pregnant..six months pregnant..and being in a situation like this was not smart..not smart at all. She would whisper to Sho as she walked.
Koizumi, Rina loses their grip on Minamoto, Sho.
Koizumi, Rina whispers: Come on..we can make it..
Minamoto, Sho says: Nnnngh...
Ranaka 's shoulder cracked at the sudden attack. He fell backwards, rolling against the dirt, but had a tight grip around the blade. He growled, kicking forward and aiming a horizontal slash at Lithos' chest.

"You're making a big mistake, old man!"
Auroa, Lithos simply jumped backwards and to the side to avoid the incoming slash. He was hopping backwards, increasing the gap between himself and Ranaka so that he would be more towards the south of him.

"Your mistake was attacking those two."
Minamoto, Sho continued trying to help Rina walk him away from the fighting.

He was in no shape to stay there.
Koizumi, Rina made the final push with Sho. Sho was finally fully concious now, they would beable to increase their speed. A doctor, they needed to find a doctor and quickly.
Minamoto, Sho loses their grip on .
Koizumi, Rina loses their grip on .
Minamoto, Sho whispers: Nngh .... will ... who ... that... was?
Koizumi, Rina whispers: I..dont know..come on we..should be close now..
Koizumi, Rina pushed on, they needed to reach Kirigakure quickly. Sho was badly injured, she was surprised he was still even concious.

"Lets..push on..if you need a moment just say so.."
Minamoto, Sho says: Alright.. nngh... let's go..
