The Village of Shadows Kuzki Style Camoru Got into his fighting stance.

Mizu: (That style, I’ve seen my brother use it)

Camoru: So, before we do this, you mind telling me how you found out my name?

Mizu: I’m a ninja, its what I do. What is the name of that style you are using?

Camoru: That isn’t any of your business. Besides, you’re a ninja right? Find it out!

Camoru lunged forward and struck three times using the palm of his left hand. Mizu dodged the first two and was grazed on the face by the last one. She jumped up onto a tree branch.

Mizu: Well, I see that you’re faster than I thought. “But you’ll pay for that scratch!”

Mizu reached into a bag that was on her waist and pulled out three small silver balls. They were in between her fingers; she threw the first one then swung her arm backwards to launch the other two.

Camoru ran for her in the tree as the small steal projectiles rained down on him. He jumped to the side to dodge the first one. It hit the ground and caused an explosion. The other two were coming at the same time so they would be a little harder to dodge.

Camoru glanced over at the bag that Jake had on his waist and, quickly made a run for it. Mizu saw what Camoru was trying to attempt and tossed a shuriken at the ground before him. Camoru came to a halt. The silver balls were closing in. At the same time one hit him on the joint of his right shoulder sending him flying backwards in the air and the other grazed him on the cheek while he was in the air.

Mizu: Gotcha! Just think about that graze as an eye for an eye.

Camoru flipped his body to land on his feet; he landed and slid backwards with his left hand on the ground to help regain and keep balance.

Camoru: (.... darn, I can’t move my right arm…)

Mizu: What’s the matter Caru Kun? Are you having technical difficulties? She begins to laugh.

Camoru: Nope… I’m just peachy, and who the hell is Caru.

Mizu: I’ll never tell…

Camoru: …What the hell…

Mizu: Oh Camoru, surely you’re not tired already. We have only just begun. I sure hope that you have more than that pathetic technique. If you don’t then I’ll just have fun for a bit.

Camoru: Enough of the small talk! Lets rock!

Camoru put his left hand out as if he were going to give a handshake, then raised it up to the center of his face.

Camoru: Village of Shadows Kuzki Style.

Mizu: Village of Shadows eh… What could this be about?

Camoru let his hand back down to his side and began to float about an inch off the ground. He put his head down and let out an enormous burst of energy.

Mizu: Thanks, but I’m afraid I have gotten rather tired of this little show of yours.

Mizu sent a hand full of shuriken Camoru’s way.

Camoru raised his head as a thin wall of darkness rose from the ground and stopped the shuriken in mid air. The shuriken (still spinning) turned black and went flying back at Mizu.

Mizu: What!

She matched the possessed shuriken with some of the silver balls from earlier.

Mizu: What kind of cheep trick is that! You’ll have to do better! You might want to open your eyes for this one.

When Camoru opened his eyes they were a solid black.

Shadow Camoru: (In a calm voice) Well… you’ve got my attention.

Mizu: (Wait something is different about him… very different.)

Shadow Camoru: Why the hesitation. Afraid you might break a nail?
