[Ryuujin Shiina]

In the city of fools, I was careful and cool but they tore me apart like a hurricane.

TAG - Muramasa Uemon && Taki Okada



NOTES - reference thread: Tag Me Back In?

Was she really excited to see the facilities? No.

Did she feel like she owed it to Muramasa? Definitely.

The woman was no fool herself, and as she watched his eyes, his body leaning back, she knew that he knew how she felt about his words. Of course, the woman hadn't expected much; in fact, she expected nothing at all. They had shared so much together that there was really not much need to define anything. If there was a need to set definite boundaries, it was that they were one of the same kinds of people, with similar goals, ambitions and motivations. Shiina nodded her head and gave Taki a small smile of politeness as she heard her speak. Once or twice the way the girl spoke got to her. There was no sophistication in the way this girl spoke, and for someone who mirrored herself in that regard, she couldn't begin to fathom why Muramasa would even be friends with her. Perhaps opposites attract? She had heard that saying once before, and as she eyed them both, she thought she could sense something that was not quite a definite friendship between them.

Was she thinking too much?

If Muramasa wanted to tell her eventually, she would be there to listen, but she knew that what he didn't say or chose not to meant that he didn't want to. There was a mutual respect between her and him in that regard, and even if she really wanted to know, there was no harping of the matter. "I simply don't want to sign a contract..." the woman reiterated adamantly, the girl saying that she was sorry for her not signing on board was really her refusal to sign a piece of paper that bound her to this organization. "Whether I agree to help Muramasa-dono at a later time is not determined by this refusal. I thought perhaps I should make that clear." There was no disrespect to Taki and her initiatives, but Shiina found it relatively strange that everything seemed to be so business proper about this whole thing. Surely, if she was only supposed to help the man, there need not be a contract?

Was there some kind of misunderstanding there too?

"I'm fine, we can get going right away." Her eyes would finally meet his, a telltale sign of how she really felt escaped her gaze. Shiina knew he would understand just by looking at her, but also assumed he would not make a big fuss, especially because he had chosen not to address it directly. "Let's go then..." she whispered, turning on her heel to go back to her own room to pick up what little belongings she had for this trip. Even as she half glided out of the room, she couldn't help but wonder what was in store for her and for them on this trip and subsequently when they arrived.

A wrestling organization...she was still baffled beyond words at the idea.

Taki "Bakudan" Okada

A loser like you ain't got no guts!

The older woman would reiterate that she didn’t want to sign a contract, which Taki had already understood she’d then talk about if she wanted to help him at a later date it wouldn’t be determined by her refusal. She clearly didn’t understand how the business world works when it came to contracts. "If you wanna help him with anything outside of my business dats poifectly fine, but anything that gets done with our organization in dat ring…has ta have pen put ta paipa.” she’d re-iterate but that’s the last she’d say on the subject, clearly this girl did not know how to listen. "Anyway…dere’s a large black carriage with some security detail waitin for us out front meet us dere when you’re awl set.”

After that the two made a declaration for them to leave but as they left she’d notice something with the way she looked at him before they left, it made her raise an eyebrow but it wasn’t anything to really be concerned with for the time being.

"C’mon Fudo let’s get moving…” with that the girl would make her way towards the carriage once everyone was ready and was prepared to embark on their journey towards the city of Kuwana but with the seeming lack of interest between the purple haired Geisha she had a feeling that this was going to be a rather long and quiet ride back towards the city, it was a good thing her headphones had plenty of battery life left in them. On the ride back the girl would nod off falling asleep on Muramasa’s shoulder unintentionally as they embarked on their way back.

SUMMARY

SA's:

House of Fire

During Taki's training she learns that she has a significant amount of energy and after graduating to the rank of genin she began to learn how to properly make use of them under the tutelage of Midori Chizawa. As a result the girl is now able to perform a bevy of powerful techniques for longer periods of time without tiring as quickly as others.

[Heavyweight: Super Strength SA]

With the rigorous training that Taki's now able to throw down with the best of them boasting monstrous strength fitting for her professional wrestling background, having combined that with the training she performed at the academy has now made her able to performs ridiculous feats such as being able to crush stones in her grip causing concussions and snap bones with her powerful strikes and holds. Taki has also increased the amount of weight she is able to lift by a massive margin in a way that makes her an even more fearsome taijutsu practitioner than before.

[Wrestling Genius]

As a result of her training, and advancements as a genin. Taki's grappling ability has increased even further making her wrestling based techniques far more difficult to deal with and escape from. As a result, her slams, holds, submissions and suplex's are far more damaging and harder to escape from then that of a genin who is not trained in these particular abilities.

[Sage Mode]


✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ Gorilla Grip [Grip Strength]

When transforming into Sage Mode Taki's body and overall Taijutsu prowess increase exponentially most notably her grip strength allowing her to take hold of someone with a painful amount of power amplifying her already proficient ability to grapple with an opponent making it significantly harder to be broken out of as well a deal a considerable amount of damage.

✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ Gorilla Press [Natural Taijutsu]

When transforming into Sage Mode Taki's body Taki is able to use nature energy to harness her powers in order to make her more physically imposing than normal adding to her natural affinities with Taijutsu allowing her move faster and hit harder heavy items thus adding a good amount of power and heft to her attacks allowing her to snap bones with much less effort and outpace a good majority of her enemies with her monstrous charge.

✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ The Immovable Force [Durability]

Due to the coarse strength of a gorilla's skin Taki is able to withstand a good amount of extra punishment allowing her to be able to withstand blows from most enemies that most shinobi wouldn't be able to normally withstand. As such blows from strong fighters are reduced by a considerable amount and when struck feel like colliding with a considerably immovable force.

Masamune fudo

Gods, what he had started?

What began as a cordial meeting became something more similar to a standoff... an outcome he half anticipated due to the differences in personality between the two. Still didn't really make the situation any less unpleasant. Or less awkward.

A hand raised to his mouth to clear his throat, a little apprehensively. "Right." He said to no one in particular. For a moment he and Shiina's eyes met. They said all that needed saying. Regardless of the turn he still saw a clear way for everyone to get what they wanted. But that would require compromise... and now he wasn't certain of that possibility.

Better to play things out than give up hallway though, he thought. At the least Shiina could see Tsuchi no Kuni and Taki could mark one more name off her list of possible candidates.

Per usual, he allowed them both to walk in front of him and followed to the carriage. Taking his seat in the wagon he allowed his gaze to drift out of the window, watching idly as the landscape rolled by. "Can't say it wasn't interesting..." He thought, shaking his head ever so slightly. Feeling Taki's head on his shoulder he glanced to her and smirked a bit. Then to Shiina, nodding quietly as they rode. Much was unsaid but things were not dead in the water yet. For once he was allowing a slight optimism to fuel this venture. Not his faith in people, or any cause because those were miniscule. But his faith in the two of them. Ryuujin Shiina and Okada Taki.

From the bottom of his heart he hoped that faith wasn't misplaced... even despite any reservations he might harbor.
