Your a Danger to my Family.

Vessel was in a small abadoned town. He was breathing heavly. What brought him here? His recent informer told him, Shadow Uchiha was somewhere around here. Vessel then stop short. Right in front of him was a subway. He look around and went inside it. Besides, the weather was chilly. It wasclose to 35 degrees and was gonna get colder sooner.

"Shadow, you a danger to the world and must be killed. Your brother Ravage Uchiha may hate me for this though."

Vessel entered the subway and jumped in the middle of the tracks. If he was guessing right,then Shadow would be somewhere around here.....

((Do not come Shadow. And Vessel, im not protecting him, im just taking his spot.))

~Black flames would manifest themselves inside of the subway. All of the fire assembling into the one known as Ravage Uchiha. He had finally found the person he was looking for.~

"... Boss... Long time no see..."

((Aaww. Me and Shadow got business still.))

Vessel turned around on the sound of Ravage's voice and sighed. Was it possible that, he found out already. Ugh. You can't do anything as a boss can you.

"Ravage. Long time no see, bro. How the Diamond Village holding up?"

Vessel eyes was scanning in the darkness, trying to make sure Shadow didn't attack the both them off-guard...

~Ravage's expression remained emotionless. The news he was going to give would probably hurt him.~

"Holding up fine... But my job of protecting them will never be over, which thrills my heart to say..."

~Ravage would begin taking off his lightning ring, simply staring at it.~

Vessel was still looking around for Shadow's when he heard a offbeat on Ravage's normal voice. Something was wrong, and Vessel was gonna fix it!

"Wassup buddy? Anything I can help you with?"

~Ravage's emerald ring would be flicked toward Vessel. Ravage's hands would soon be shoved into his blazer jacket as he heaved a big sigh.~

"... I'm glad you asked... I can't be a part of your family no longer..."

~Ravage knew full well what the concequences were for leaving the family. But, he had no intentions of dying today. Even without that Emoto ring, he would demonstrate how strong his will was.~

Vessel was stunned. One of his most favorire leuinents, no, his all time close brother, was betraying him on the spot. What did he do wrong.

"What did I do wrong? No pay raise? Not enough bondage time. Come on, I don't want you to leave. Your a brother, man. Beside's you can't just leave. You have to die. I don't want that on my mind or consceince. Think about what your doing"

Vessel totally forgot about looking for Shadow, and was complelty focused on keeping Ravage as his Lighting Guardain.

"I have no intention on dying here today... I have a kingdom to protect, and I can't protect it when I have measly ties with Alistar, or Damian... And I don't think I should be in a family where I am not wanted, along with the fact that I don't want to be a here..."

~Ravage would begin pacing as if he was thinking long and hard.~

"...Now, if you're going to try and stop me by killing me, go ahead... But remember the promise we made to eachother long ago in the lands of Vescrutia... You know as well as I know that I can never kill you, and you could never kill me. Even with your title as a boss..."

~Ravage would stop his pacing and stare Vessel dead in the face. His expression got as serious as it had ever been.~

"... So what's it going to be...?"

Vessel was stuck in a demilnia. Ravage was right. Them two did considered themselves brothers. But then again, Shadow and Ravage was supposed to be blood brothers and look where that got them. Ravage and Kammy were suppposed to be lovers and Ravage killed her over the "higher power Sharigan". Vessel reached in his pockets, and pulled out the Sky Ring.

"Yes, we did."

Orange flames appeared upon Vessel's forehead, made of nothing but pure Sky. Vessel then reached in his ninja pouch, pulled out eight shurkins, four on each hand. He threw them one by one like bullets but not at Ravage. He busted out all the light until it was nothing but one light left.

"When we considered each other brothers!"

Vessel then put on his mask for being in the Anbu Corps. A white cat mask with a red mark by the left cheek. Vessel then pulled out three more shurkins. He threw one the buttons, closing them both in, and the last one at the light that was still bright, and the subway was still with nothing but darkness, and breathing from both Ravage and Vessel.

"Blood Clone Justu!"

Vessel made three copies of himselves and hhad them went after Ravage in the darkness. Vessel then activated his Acceleration Justu, and silenty started pursuing Ravage within the dark subway...

Sigh...

~Ravage sighed, he was trying to get through to Artery but it seemed that he was still stuck on Kammy's death. Artery had to realize that this day would probably sever their bonds as friends, brothers, anything... Ravage had a kingdom to protect, dying was not on his agenda.~

"Vessel... Stop..."

~Ravage said as he watched Vessel accumulate his shuriken. Ravage's right hand layed gently on his weapon of innocence. Artery wasn't thinking clearly. He had to stop this, Kammy was gone, and he had to accept that. The katana he was holding would begin to acquire a jet-black whisp of energy at the hilt.~

"... Innocence, Activate..."

~As soon as these words were whispered from his mouth, the energy that came from the hilt would sprout. Soon covering the whole blade. The darkness began to spread toward Ravage at this time. As this happened, Ravage brought the blade above his head with his right hand.~

"... Strength of 100 wandering souls..."

~Ravage would bring the blade down upon Vessel's assault. When the blade connected with the floor, the tile would break and shoot straight up in front of Ravage. They were in the form of shard and would more than likely decimate anything that came in contact with them. Ravage would dash back trying to get a better view of Artery before he started his assault.~

As Vessel was putting on his mask he noticed that his attack on turning the whole subway dark had failed. ((right?)). THen as his clone were going in for an attack, Vessel reached in his bag once again and notice he didn't have that many shurkin's.

"Hmph. That innocene thing. That's the reason yuor leaving the family? Throwing us away like we're garbage? Have you considered my feelings? Alkel's? Crow's(Raven). Ezekiel(Zeke)?I'm not letting you leave! So take back the damn ring!"

Vessel went and reached for Mary, but realized that she wasn't around. All he had really was his gun. Hw whipped it out and fired out five shots. Two in his kneecaps, one in his stomach, and tow in his forearms.

((Nope. Just in my line of sight.))

~Ravage couldn't distinguish the difference between this black matter which seemed to surround him. He had fought a darkness user before but didn't perceive this as the same energy. So, he would jump up with all of his might while sending his katana through the roof of the subway. He was still soaring high in the air as he looked down upon Vessel who just missed his attack. Ravage noticed that Vessel too didn't have his soul partner with him. How ironic.~

"Raven and Alkel will be alright... i'm not leaving their lives, we live in the same kingdom afterall... But I haven't talked to Zeke in a while, I guess he forgot that he had training with me... oh well... This isn't my family... Look at me and you Artery..."

~Ravage knew damn well that Vessel didn't like being called by his first name, but he needed to calm the fuck down.~

"Yes, us, we used to hang out all of the time before Kammy died... Now, because of that, we can't go back to being the close friends we once were. You seem to be under the impression that I killed Kammy for these damn eyes...! Look into me Artery...! Your best friend since we were little stupid teenagers...! Look into me, and tell me if I, the one who loved her to death could ever cross the line with something that big...!!!!!"

~Tears were beginning to form inside of his eyes. It made him sick that Vessel thought so ill of him after all they went through.~

"LOOK INTO MEEE......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

~Ravage would shoot his left palm toward Artery who was in the subway. Within seconds, he began firing off highly concentrated explosive energy toward him.~

Vessel spoke behind the mask, barely an aublie whisper.

"Stop calling me Artery!"

Vessel aimed his gun striaght at Ravage's head, but couldn't take the shot. He hand was shaking madly at what Ravage spoke. Even though Vessel was trying to convince himself they were all lies, he couldn't help but hear the pain, sadness, and truth behind Ravage's voice.


"Get out my head..."

Vessel had "clear" shot, knowing excatly where Ravage was because of his loud heartbeat. He pulled up his other hand to stop the shaking. His breathing was becoming more uneven, a huge sign that Vessel was having second thoughts.

"I never thought of us as close freinds you bastard. I thought of us as BROTHERS!"

Vessel yelled out the last word, still trying to pull the trigger and end it all, but thought, if he killed Ravage, he wouldn't be no better then Lord Owl(Oiun). Shadow. Cancer. Vessel drop the gun, took out the clip, and toss the gun.....

"I can't seem to kill you..."

At those words, an orange outline was being seen from behind the Anbu cat mask

~The explosive energy that was fired toward Artery would suddenly freeze in its frame of action. Ravage had never tried to stop it or send it another way which was now killing him. Blood began to trickle from his nose as the energy was being slowly sucked back toward him.~

"... I've always loved you Artery... You have the best heart out of all of us... Never give in to the darkness..."

~With those words, the energy blew up. Ravage couldn't contain it any longer. This energy blew through buildings, cars, blowing out things in a 15 foot radius. When the smoke and debris cleared, Ravage would be gone, but floating down from his position, was a letter. Vessel needed to open it to view the message.~

Vessel seen a letter within the darkness, after he let Ravage escape. He took of the mask and look at the red outline scared across the cheek. A sign that meant he had to assasinate someone on the job. Speaking to himself now,

"No. I never had a good heart. Good heart means finding an altertive way besides killing. And I found an alternitive to killing you."

Vessel's flame rose even brighter and stronger. He went and picked up the letter, Walking throught the debris, he mumbled,

"*sigh* Someone's gonna have to pay for that..."

And Vessel commences to read the letter

((I need to know what it says btw..))

((Got it covered.))

Dear Artery,

Were you aware that Kammy was pregnant that month she came to me...? She came to me and let me know that Shadow was there to kill my son. I had just gotten out of the shower and was enraged, you know how I get... But after a while, Shadow steps in going on about how Kammy had to die. How she wasn't worthy of bearing my son and he pounced on her. I got so angry and tried to kill him. But he kept trying to attack her time and time again. Made the room so hot that even shadow had to flee. I felt that Kammy would survive because of her cell restoration advantage. But I was so angry at Shadow that I couldn't decrease the heat I was emitting... Her holding the baby, she put most of her power into putting the baby in a protected cocoon of bone to keep him safe. She did not survive, Shadow fled. Once I saw Kammy lying there motionless, I cried until these wretched eyes were activated. The pain was beyond anything I've ever felt. Even dying and going to hell. After everything was done, I took my son into my room and sat him down and cried some more. It was the worst day, and at the same time, the best day in my life. I got a son, but lost the loved of my life.

... I know I don't deserve to live, but if found things I have to live for. So when the time comes for me to fight for the Kingdom of Diamonds, I will... Kill anyone who stand in my way. Also, this family is not for me. I cannot be your lightning guardian any longer... you said Family comes first, but to me, My Kingdom family comes first. That is all I wanted you to hear. Take the information as truth or faulty, I don't care."

*sigh*"He knows I don't like to be called by my first name. But I guess now I fully understand your side of the story. But that doesn't mean you won't be punished for leaving your post as Lightning Guradain. For the first punishment....."

Vessel lit up his ring of the Sky and inserted into the box. At once Lunar came out. Before he had a chance to greet Vessel, she was already given orders.

"I need you to find Ravage. Find Ravage and neautrilzed his Will. With him as my Core Guardain, he had the ability to use his dying Will, even without the Will. So find him, and take away his Will to live. Then for his second punishment...."

Vessel felt the temperture drop.

"He will indure the Zero Point Breakthrough for however long I choose. Now go!"

Lunar nodded his head and flew off in search of Ravage.

"Now I must continue my search for Shadow. He still must DIE!"
