** The House of Sheva ** Manse **

[Evanescently Magnificent]

Eventually the pain became so intense that not even her screams could escape Blue's mouth. It wasn't much ling after this that her body succumbed to the convulsions and began, what could only be described as vibrating on the table. Her chakra signature, likely would be felt by Sheva as fluctuating rapidly before it ceased to be entirely. Like a candle snuffed out of existence.

Was she dead? Thst was the million dollar question. She felt dead to the touch. Didn't respond, didn't move, didn't do anything at all really. Just laid there with eyes permanently clamped shut in pain. For what seemed like an eternity there after this would be Sheva's reality, having to deal with the assumed knowledge that she had just murdered a lifelong friend. In fact the sage might have even turned away, unable to look any further past the tears. But if she did that Sheva would assuredly miss it.

It was small. Just a tiny pulse no bigger than a plant. Maybe not even something her sagely sense would be able to notice at first. But then it would grow, grow, and grow until finally Blue's lifeforce could be felt as a spiritual pressure that anyone, even a non-sensor would be able to feel. Like a heavy weight pressing down on everything in the area. Looking at Blue now one could see a bright cyan color that had engulfed her body and erupted from her eyes. Like some kind of mystical deity, her body's virtues responded to her near death by opening themselves in a last ditch effort to keep her alive.

Which was very clearly working. If fact one could say that she had never been more alive than in that very moment. With her now supernatural longevity the swordswoman bolted upright from her resting position. Occasional waves of black rippled through her cyan aura as the curse mark spread across her body. For now it seemed a time of joyous celebration! Blue had survived and gotten her wish had she not? But the expression on her face was anything but. Locking eyes with Sheva, Blue's face twisted between confusion and defensive anger. She had no idea where she was, who she was or with, or anything else for that matter. "Who-o are you?! Back off!"[/coor) The tone in her voice made it clear she was in the verge of getting ready to attack.

In a moment of horror, Sheva felt the chakra burst from Blue and die. She knew that something was horrifyingly wrong, she sat for a moment and held onto Blues hand. This was all her fault, she should have never indulged in this; this was a regret that she would live with for the rest of her life. Sheva sat there for a moment and went over the things in her head; there was the inescapable truth.

” I killer her “

In a blast of chakra, Blue was shimmering in a blue light as the Mark seemed to spread all over her body. This wasn’t the same as when Sheva obtained her Sagedom... this was far from it. With Anger and killing intent written all over her face. Sheva kept her eyes on her and stood up slowly, they were in the Tatami Room and all of Shevas armor and weapons were in the next room. She kept her eyes on the shimmering deity that now stood in front of her; with sadness in her eyes and voice... she knew that the woman in front fo her wasn’t Blue any longer and this pained Sheva

“ My name is Sheva, I am your sister. “

Blue's body language spoke of anger and violence, like an insatiable craving, but her mind was anything but. the confused little girl just sat there trying to shank all the terrible thoughts out of her head. It was like trying to fight a tidal wave. The curse mark was most certainly successful but unbeknownst to the swordwoman it had latched onto her negative emotions and amplified them instead of washing them away like any normal sage mode. Then to make matters worse her death must have lasted just long enough for her mind to come back broken. Even remembering how to speak how hard for her as evident by her stumbling every syllable. Not yet understanding the power that was still flowing through her body Blue forced her way past the weight on her chest and moved to stand up. A powerful dizzy spell taking her when she did, and without meaning to the throbbing caused her to crush the table underneath her.

Sitting among in the broken wreckage her blue eyes just looked around trying to find any hint of familiarity, the fact that she just destroyed a piece of heavy furniture completely going over her head as something 'not normal'. Finally she spoke again trying to make sense of it all. "...S-sister? I don't understand... who am I? Where am I? And why am I so ..blue?" Her reference to the aura that shimmered around her body would fade slightly as attention was brought to it. The blackness receding completely with her unmeaning exertion of power. "I- i think I might need to rest.."

Sheva took a breath in and extended her hands out to Blue before the destruction of the piece of furniture, she knew that she was acting out the impulses of her new mark. Sheva felt the cursed mark coursing through her, though this was something that Blue wanted... Sheva started to regret the pain that she placed into her “ You’re safe here. You’re in my home. “ Through the sweat and slight shake, Sheva tried to stay strong but relay a gentleness in her eyes.

“ Your name is Blue; the color of sincerity, wisdom and trust. We are sisters torn away from each by time and circumstance. ”

Sheva was trying her best to make sure that a trust and honesty was established before Blue started to fade out. Sheva gently touched Blue and felt the chakra withdraw and enter back from which it came, she stabilized her and smiled “ Blue is also the color of Faith and Strength; you’re the strongest woman I know. “ Sheva let out a small chuckle and smiled, Blue had physical pulled through the ordeal from what she saw but came out the other end a changed woman.

She gently guided Blue to the ground and made her comfortable, Sheva herself couldn’t believe what had transpired. She turned her back and braced herself against an adjacent wall. She placed her forehead against the wall and had an exhale of relief, the moment she exhaled a whimper of emotion escaped her. She quickly covered her mouth and continued to attempt to breathe... but the tear continued to escape her failed attempt to stop. It wasn’t sadness that was coming from her but relief; for a moment she believed that she killed her friend. She grabbed a piece of cloth and wiped her face free of the sweat and the tears on her face; she wanted to e strong for the people now around her.

(Small time skip by a day!)

It was close to anither day when Blue finally awoke again in a cold sweat. Her rest had been anything but comforting though thankfully the birds chirping outside were there to reassure her that it was all just a nightmare. That boy.. Blue grabbed at the migraine in her but recoiled to the touch of her hair, as if not expecting it to be there. That's when it all came back to her. Well the pieces did anyway. Her memory was gone, erased from her mind from some external force she couldn't even recall quarrelling with. I wonder if that means that boy from my nightmares was someone I knew before.. Trying and failing to bring up anger another detail Blue scrambled from where she lay in search of a paper and ink to write with. The nonsensical chicken scratch that she scribbled down included every obscure piece of information of boy from her dream so that she could have at least some ground to start building from.

By the time she was done only a few minutes had passed since she had woken up but already she was starting to feel better about her situation! As a matter of ft she had only cried twice in that span and now she felt ready to take on the day. Oh.. that woman from before. She said I was her.. sister? Maybe I can learn more from her like who this boy is. With care, the swordswoman slowly made her way through the rest of the home trying to find Sheva. Considering how their last meeting had gone Blue thought it best to announce her presence so she didn't end up scaring her and getting attacked. Although why her own sister would attack her was beyond her, it just never hurt to be careful.

[LavenderandVelvet]

Sheva was deep in thought, she stood over the stove and pondering what she was going to do next. Her friend lay in a deep sleep... and she was unsure when she was going to wake up. ‘Do I just continue with the plan that I had before?’ She thought to herself as she began to sear vegetables she got from the woods nearby. Sweet Morels and pine nuts filled the air with savory smells, as she added in the boar fat that she had been keeping... she salivated at the thought. Part of her hoped that Blue would smell this and it would wake her from her chakra induced slumber; though the thought was just a fairy tale... part of her wanted to believe it so bad. She made two plates and sat down at the table; she stood there for a moment and grabbed one of the plates by the edge. She stared at it for a moment before slamming it on the edge of the table, sending pieces of the plate flying al over the room.

With her sister training in the Study... Sheva was all alone again. She shook her head at her ridiculousness and grabbed the broom. As she swept she told herself “ You put your ‘sister’ in a coma, be mad at yourself. “ She just took the pieces of the food that she had swept and tossed them out of the window, she was sure that there was a hungry rabbit out there that would probably like it. She slapped herself in the face and decided to take out her frustration like she normally would and forge. She started to walk down the stairs when she heard something.

She stood there for a moment and listened, it wasn’t Umiko. She took a few steps up and walked back into the halls to see Blue wondering the hall. She just stood there and looked at her; their brief meeting wasn’t the best. Sheva hesitated but relief swept over her “ What the... ? Are you ok? “

Either the house was really big ore Blue had lost a lot more than just her long term memory because the poor girl wondered through the halls, constantly checking in rooms that she already had before. Eventually it would be Sheva herself to find the sword woman playing with a plant in the hallway. Embarrassingly she jumped up like she had just been caught doing something bad, ehich for as good as her mind was right now, she WAS doing something bad right now and didn't even know it. "Sorry.. I just wanted to touch it.." Blue managed to sputter out. It sounded rather silly even when she heard it out loud, she would probably think her daft. "I'm fine, I was just looking for you actually." If she were honest with herself she still felt awkward talking to Sheva. She knew that logically she shouldn't, she was her sister after all so why shouldn't she have that kind of connection that they can share everything? The whole mess was enough to make her feel guilty.

Perhpas she just needed more time, everything would come back to her in time. Yes, that has to be it. She thought sullenly to herself while painting on a bright enough smile to, hopefully, convince Sheva that Blue was slowly returning to her old self. Whether or not it fooled the woman however was something that Blue wasn't experienced enough to get a read on. "I was hoping for some more information on who I am? I had these.. dreams.. about a boy who was someone close to me I think. Then there was ink? everywhere twisting and shaping around like it was angry at me." Like a lost puppy before her, Blue had forgotten much more than her history but even access to her heritage as well as possibly ninjutsu has a whole.

Sheva smiled and looked at Blue, though the moment during the sealing was jarring for the both of them; She wanted to do good by Blue “ Well... Your name is Blue or thats what I have called you. “ She laughed to herself and waved her in the direction of Shevas personal forge, she walked slowly towards it “ The Ink think I’m not too sure on to be honest. It sounds like the Ukiyo Clan to me. “ The heat of the forge could be felt in the doorway, Sheva grabbed gloves that she had hung by the door and turned to Blue “ The Boy? Are you sure you don’t remember? I mean... not to make you feel bad or anything. “ Sheva started to explain to Blue why she was there... everything; from the boy being held in Arashigakure and the reason Sheva and Blue were going to the Land of Iron “ I have made a connection with a woman in Giman, she has agreed to help us... for a fee. But, while we are gone. “ She pointed back at the door at the end of the long hallway; construction crews started to walk in and survey the house “ We’re getting an expansion. “ Sheva was excited, she always wanted a bigger house and finally she was going to be able to get it.

“ This house...our house will be transformed when we leave to the castle that the Valkyrie deserve. “ She laughed “ Speaking of... I have armor to make for you. “ She smiled and waved her down the stairs with her “ You can’t be a Valkyrie without wings sweetness. “

Playing with the inside of her cheek Blue listened with a very concentrated emotion on her face. So her name was Blue then? And this talk of Ukiyo Clan..? The swordwoman assured that must have been who she was born to though the connection to ink was lost to her still. Perhaps they were ink merchants? Bah! The more she thought about it the more everything in this world started to make her feel like a kitten. She hated it but here was no other way to learn about herself. Well she wouldn't lie down, Blue would claw her way back to who she was no matter the cost! And maybe she couldn't find a few hints in how sh acted now, after all it wasn't like she could change much from whoever she was, right?

Snapping back to reality when hearing mention of valkyrie's and castles. Blue, who had only the vaguest understanding of what was being said, let Sheva take the lead with only the occasional bob of unconditional support. "Yeah that sounds fun! Are we going to be heading to this Giman now then? Or are we on our way to somewhere else?" The eagerness to get everything underway was burning bright inside her.

Sheva smiled and walked down the stairs into the forge, there were things that she wanted to take with her “ Actually while the house is being expanded... “ She could barely contain her excitement for this expansion. She knew that it was going to be coming sooner then later... it was definitely sooner. She picked up some forging essentials and looked at Blue “ We are going to go to Giman where I’ll craft you a new armor. “ She looked at her and smiled, she wanted to make sure that everything was in motion. Her connection in Giman looked promising and the information looked credible... plus the source wasn’t someone to be messed with. She knew that going to Giman and the Land of Iron after was going to be a long trip... and rough “ I have a connect that has some information for me that could be useful to us in the future.... but I don’t want to ruin the surprise. “ She poked Blues nose and leaned against the wall, looking at Blue “ Are you sure your ok? I mean, it’s been a rough couple days. I don’t want to push you. “

Though Sheva was excited to be advancing her plans but she wanted to help Blue become the most powerful version of herself she could.

Sheva placed the tools in a small backpack she had prepared and began to walk to the door “ Ive packed one for you as well. “ looking back at Blue, though the journey would be long; she knew that she needed to be prepared for anything. She walked outside of the manse as the construction workers brought in granite and new wood to expand “ You have the blueprints ready? “ They nodded and got to work, this castle was going to be a masterpiece. She looked into the distance and saw the remains of the people of Estia in the distance; Sheva always protected them but this time they were going to protect her... through service. She packed the backpack onto a horse and one for Blue, this was going to be the start of a small journey for the both of them... who knew what was going to lie a hard of them. Sheva knew what she wanted: She wanted to attain more power to protect those whom couldn’t protect themselves and she also wanted to make Blue more powerful. Blue was powerful but Sheva wanted to make her a goddess... if not for Sheva.... but for herself.

Watching all the workers move along through the hallways past her. Each of them carried with them planks of heavy wood, nails, hammers, and all other manner of tools that one would find in a carpenter's tool box. Being near so many people all so suddenly left Blue feeling a bit skittish, a fact that was easily displayed by her readiness to get on the road. Hurriedly scooping up the backpack Blue hooded to Sheva that was ready to get things underway. "Let's get to it, Land of Iron here we come!"

( enough of me hiding us back let's rush there! Byw Blue is S+ now)

Sheva smiled, she hadn’t seen Blues enthusiasm before and she enjoyed it “let go then. “ She picked up her pack and steadied it on her shoulders, she was excited to get everything moving. The workers started the tedious work of transforming their home into the castle, she was excited about the possibilities. She started to walk towards the mountains; from what she had gathered... they would have to traverse through the mountains until they came upon a massive wall. She knew that she would be able to make this easier for herself by flying but... where was the fun in that?

[Ishiba Satomi]

Umiko

After waking up and looking around, noting that both her sister and Blue had left, she checked the kitchen. A slight smile played across her face as she noticed that her sister had attempted to make food, though it would seem she didn't get far enough to eat it yet. Noting the sounds of construction outside, Umiko began preparing some rice and eggs; with the thought in mind that it'd pair beautifully with the... Thing that Sheva had made. "Well... most things usually go well with eggs and rice..." She said aloud, not really expecting anyone to be listening.

After she finished making and eaiting her breakfast, which wasn't all too bad, Umiko returned to the study room. She carefully scrutinized her notes, and decided on her course of action for the day. There were a handful of jutsu she still needed to get the hang of, and she intended to do that today. "Okay... Focus..." Umiko said quietly to herself, focusing her chakra like she had yesterday. Slowly, she extended her arms as she began to float into the air. Quietly at first, a buzz began to fill the room; though not quite like the buzz of insects, more like the buzz of static electricity. Though most people wouldn't be able to see them, the whole room would be filled with incredibly thin strings of electricity; and slowly, the threads began to fill the whole house. Eventually, they even found their way out of the house; giving Umiko a near perfect picture of the entirety of her surroundings. Slowly bringing her arms in front of her, Umiko began to focus chakra in the space in front of her. Suddenly, with a loud crackle from the strings of electricity, a few gallons of water drop from the air and onto the floor with a loud splash. Lowering herself back down, and letting the strings fade away, Umiko got a little worried. "Oh no... now the floor's all wet... Sheva is gonna kill me..." she said, not sure where a mop would be.

After eventually cleaning the mess she had made, Umiko decided to get one last bit of practice in before spending some time taking notes while waiting till noon. This time, instead of the study room, she entered the Dojo; because she would need a target to practice on. After getting one of the many extra tatami rolls out and upright, Umiko pulled out her daggers; one in each hand. "Now... if that scroll was correct..." Umiko says to herself, clearly in thought. Suddenly, she streaks across the room at the tatami roll; and bashes the top of it so hard with the hilt of her dagger, that it smashes through the floor. Surprised, Umiko jumps back; not having expected to hit it quite that hard. "Oh no, if Sheva learns that I smashed through the floor...!" She says, clearly in a panic now as she quickly tries to look for something to repair the hole with.

Soon after, having given up on trying to find a way to fix the hole, Umiko went back to the study room and started writing down notes; on what to improve on, and what not to do in the future...

Umiko is a pale young girl, and though she may look fragile; she is anything but. Her hair is nearly pitch black, seemingly swallowing up light around it. Her eyes, however, are almost purely white; a sign of her heritage, and one of her greatest "weaknesses".

 

[Ishiba Satomi]

Umiko

After finishing writing her notes, Umiko gets back up again; and returns to the dojo. Ignoring the hole in the floor, she brings out another tatami roll. Slowly, she begins to focus her chakra in her right hand. As this goes on, her chakra seems to pool in the air; slowly building itself into the shape of a dagger. Continuing to focus her chakra into the blade, it seems become wrapped in swirling winds; and crackles with electricity. She then focuses on herself, focusing on how she intends to move; and planning out the whole of her movements in her mind. Suddenly, she lunges forwards with incredible speed; streaking across the room at the tatami roll. The moment she passes it by a few paces, she stops. The blade of chakra in her hand vanishes, and the tatami roll splits cleanly in two diagonally.

Pulling out another tatami roll, Umiko focuses her chakra yet again. She stretches her hands out, and brings them infront of her. Slowly, a sphere of wind forms infront of her hands, swirling and spinning rapidly. Then, she flings the sphere at the tatami roll; but right before contacting it, the sphere circles around the tatami roll. It then smashes into the back of the roll, sending it flying at Umiko. Swiftly, she pulls out one of her daggers and parries the roll; sending it flying across the room. She then tosses the same dagger at the tatami roll, imbuing it with chakra. She watches in her mind's eye as the dagger pierces the roll, impaling it to the wall.

Taking the chance to catch her breath, she begins to prepare herself for the next bit of her practice. This time, she brings out six tatami rolls; lining them up neatly in the middle of the room. With a tug of chakra, and a burst of wind, her dagger pulls itself out of the tatami roll and flies back to her hand. Looking at the six tatami rolls, Umiko begins to focus her chakra again. This time, the air around her crackles with electricity at five sparking balls of light form around her. In a sudden motion, she moves the balls of lightning at the tatami rolls; and at the same time, fires off a massive blast of lightning at the one in the middle after throwing one of her daggers at it with blinding speed. With a loud bang, all six tatami rolls are turned to ash. Unfazed, Umiko blinks; staring blankly at the piles of ash, watching as her dagger falls to the ground.

"Well, I'm already almost done... Good, means that I'll sooner rather then later get to find out where Sheva went." Umiko says. She then goes to clean up the room, still ignoring the hole in the floor. Making certain to sweep up the ash, and dispose of the destroyed rolls; as well as to take her dagger, and put it back in its' sheath.
