Learning and Getting Stronger (Yata and Sharaku)

Posts : 791 Join date : 2014-04-20

Naomi had never been a fan of Lunapa. In fact, she tried to avoid the island as much as possible given its lack of modernization. This was a special exception though. She needed a bit of training, along with another person. That, and she figured she’d have to teach him something about this place. Though, she was worried about going in so under prepared. She didn’t have a skill to heal her friends like she saw some others doing, but she had a few items that should do the job in a pinch. She had to be a little more careful though. There was always the chance this could get ugly and that would spell all kinds of bad news. She just hoped she could do this. At least if anything went badly, she had an emergency plan. Without Hyde though, they wouldn’t have an advantage over the Shadows. Oh well. Different team, different strategy. She would give a heavy sigh as she waited for the others to show up. Her nerves were already starting to get the best of her. Hopefully the others could find the doors.

Spoiler:

Lunapa was a rather confusing place. Then again, what wasn't lately? Now that was a fair way to put it. Still, Sharaku couldn't say he minded it as much anymore. As it goes, you can get used to practically anything in time. Afterall he had never been the type to pick a fight on purpose, but it seemed to be becoming inevitable. On the other hand, picking a fight with things that weren't human probably counted into a whole different category. 'Who am I kidding...' There was no way to deny it was enjoyable at certain points, however that wasn't something he'd go telling around. No thank you, he would rather keep some things to himself, it made it more interesting that way.

That being said, it was still a wonder he kept accepting this so easily. He should probably say no once in a while. At least he had something to blame it on---Wait, let's not go there. The main point had been that Lunapa was confusing enough for him that he actually took a while to get to where he wanted to. The scenery looked so similar everywhere. Nevertheless, better late than never, right? Besides, on a closer inspection, it seemed he didn't really miss anything important, as far as he was aware. ''I'm rather surprised Hyde wasn't rushing in as well....'', he would mutter thoughtfully, as he approached Naomi. Honestly, it was a bit strange to not see the redhead being the organizer. Not that Sharaku was any bothered by the change, it was just a slight suprise. ''Anyhow, it is nice to see you again Naomi. Anything specific planned for today?'', he would offer a fairly polite greeting, asking just in case. He did not want to miss anything at the start. That could be a pain. Ha, it was going to be anyway, considering the place they were at.

Yatagarasu had never been to regular Lunapa so why the hell would he want to go to some stupid alternate Lunapa? This was the question, yet here he was like a sheep heading into a possible slaughter. If it wasn't for Naomi being the one to call him for this, he wouldn't have come. However, he'd never explain the reasons for coming because it was Naomi. It'd ruin the image he had built for himself over these various years of foul deeds and trouble making in Standasen. Whatever the case, here he was with his skate board in a pack wrapped around his back, and a his arms crossed. His amber eyes scanned the area before looking over to Naomi and the weird looking man who looked familiar. Who was this guy? Her boyfriend? The thoughts made Yata's cheek burn with either jealousy, envy, or over all anger before he looked away towards the scenery. The Skater mumbled under his breath as he awaited Naomi to take charge of the situation so he knew why they were there. It was obviously to train, but for what? Those weird blob things that attacked him a few weeks ago when he was doing his courier work? Psh, they were weak so why would he have to bust his ass training? He could stomp any of them into the ground with ease. Atleast, that's what he told himself.

Naomi would wave as Sharaku entered through the door. She was glad to see him make it here okay. When he asked if she had anything planned, she would hum a little as she thought, “We’re just going to walk around, beat up a few Shadows, get in some practice. You know, the usual. I need to tell you though, we won’t be alone. Someone new is coming today…” She was trying to figure out how to say ‘remember that guy we helped out in the alternate dimension? Yeah, he’s showing up too’. Before she could though, the man showed up himself. She would run over to him with a smile the moment she saw him, “I’m so glad you could come. I was afraid you wouldn’t show up.” The edges of her cheeks were burning, but she ignored it. She would point over to Sharaku, “He’ll be joining us for this little excursion. I hope you don’t mind.” She’d clear her throat, “Okay you two. Our goal here is simple. We’re going to beat up Shadows, because…” The more she thought about it, the more she didn’t have a reason other than, “Well, they say practice makes perfect, so why not? Don’t worry though, we’re not going to beat up all of them. We’ll just see how this goes and do it one step at a time. We don’t want to overwork ourselves.” She would give them both a thumbs up, “Just follow me, I guess.” She’d walk out of the room and walk until she found what they were looking for.

She figured she could do this, but it was a little scary. She had never been a leader in the whole of her life. She had always been the kind of person who was on her own, and when she did work with other people tended to do what they said. Call it a side effect of working in a field that required her to have as little contact with her clients as possible and just do whatever they wanted her to. Well, some of her jobs were like that. Some she got to talk with them, but she avoided that as much as possible. This was something entirely new to her. She was leading two people through an alternate world filled with evil creatures that wanted to pull them apart and leave them for dead. If she did anything wrong, she wouldn’t be the only one to suffer because of it. She shook her head as she realized that thought was creeping up on her. She needed to have faith that she could do this. Besides, they wouldn’t let her mistakes cause them trouble. She just had to believe that everything would be alright, and it would.

Spoiler:

The usual, hm? Well, what do you know? After all, it was sort of obvious. Not that Sharaku knew any better, but it seemed that there wasn't much else to do in these strange places aside from 'playing around' with those Shadows. However, apparently Naomi decided to bring someone new along for this trip, and he would probably have inquired when she didn't finish her sentence at first, but he was saved from asking as the person in question showed up. For a moment, Sharaku would simply look over the young man thoughfully, as Naomi ran over for an enthusiactic greeting. Well, good news, he at least knew who it was...somewhat. Though, he still couldn't shake the fact that it was slightly strange to see Naomi act like this around him. Those two were so not alike. Then again, the saying went that opposites attract, so maybe that was the case here. Oh well, not his business for now.

Back into reality though, he was fairly amused when Naomi was concerned about the other minding him, as she pointed at him. 'I should so feel offended by that...' Yep, but he wouldn't nevertheless. If he minded, he wouldn't have found it amusing in the first place. Besides, he was already aware that Mr. Grumpy over there was not the friendliest person on the face of the Earth. Which meant that it would actually make more sense to be worried about being put down by the guy than care about some wording. His way of solving the problem was rather simple though. He didn't give a damn about either, so who needed any solving? Therefore, he would wave that off mentally, and busy himself with fixing his white shirt while Naomi talked, explained and whatever else. He did listen of course, that was a given. ''Very well, lead the way then.'', he would nod slightly, finally seeming to pay full attention to what was going on when the female finished with what she had to say. He sure was being rather easygoing today. Well, he hadn't been given a reason to act otherwise yet. That in mind, even though he had a feeling it was probably for naught anyway, he would turn his golden gaze towards the skater. ''I do believe we have met before, still, I suppose it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance for now.'', he would say pleasantly, offering a light bow to the younger. It would be lame to have a disagreement right in the beginning, though in all honesty he didn't know where he stood with the guy. In all probability, his manners would only serve to irritate the skater. Not that such a little dent in the plan would unnerve him, even if it ended up that way. There was just no way to please everyone, was there?

Yatagarasu's amber eyes looked at Naomi before he gave a bashful smirk and looked away as if her burning cheeks had no effect on him. "I-It's not like I wanted you to call me or anything... But I figured it'd be better if I showed you how strong I was in person. Yea, that's it." He seemed to be fooling himself with these words, as he brushed his cheeks and looked back towards Buggy. When she introduced the other man, Yata looked at him with a raised brow, as the clockwork within his brain began to start moving. He'd suddenly point towards the man with jaw agape. "Wait a second! You were that bastard with that other bastard hanging around Standasen! I didn't know you were in leagues with Buggy. The hell? You better not be her boyfriend!" The redhead's head was basically steaming before crossing his arms and looking away from the group. He had completely forgot Sharaku was one of the people who "saved" him before from his weird doppelganger.

Whatever the case, Buggy explained the situation even though Yatagarasu had no idea what these "Shadows" were. He had no idea they were the very things he had fought a few weeks prior to this meeting. When it came to these weird worlds and this power of his, you could say Yatagarasu was ignorant. He didn't know much, nor did he know any self control when using his Persona. That's why the Shadows weren't the only thing overcooked when he had fought them before. Now with this new power he had, he found himself not even wishing to display self control. With a cocky grin on his face, he took his board and threw it to the ground. Placing a foot on it, he'd kick off and begin to follow behind Buggy, still getting used to the terrain but not having that much trouble tagging alone for the moment. He would, however, use his smoke abilities to speed up alittle, just so he could keep up without needing to put much effort.

“Shadows at twelve o’clock. This is the perfect time to show off what your Persona can do.” She would look back at Yatagarasu with a smirk. In combat, as long as he was careful, he could show off all he liked. Naomi would stare at the creatures that stood in front of them. This time there were three of them. They could each take one if it came to that, but they didn’t know anything about them. For all they knew, each one would get paired with their natural opposite. Oh well, she was only a one trick pony, so she had to try the one thing up her sleeve. She closed her eyes as the tarot card appeared in front of her. Reaching out, she’d tap on the card to release Intertwined. The two bears seemed to be in a rather good mood today. Maybe they were just excited to get out again. With a grin on her face, Naomi would send them out to do their job. Not that throwing rocks was all that impressive, “And, by the by Yatagarasu, I don’t have a boyfriend. Sharaku is just a trusted friend.” Who had fought just as many Shadows as she had, and was probably better at telling when they were in over their heads.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

To show off power...Was that the only reason the young man was here for? Such a display of arrogance. Yet, Sharaku did not really feel....different after that being pretty much confirmed. It was a rather specific personality trait, yes, and one that tended to be generally unwelcome, or taken the wrong way. However, it also held other things, several of which were interesting to say the least. Not now though, it was not the time to wonder about things of this nature. And, he was an itty bit thrown out of the loop by Yata's sudden gaping exclamation on the side of the whole situation. Sharaku was in no way a forgetful person, but the distinct, even if slightly amusing lack of proper addressing, aka 'let's just ignore actual names exist' was not helpful in helping him remember. Oh, he did, but it took him a while longer than he found satisfying. It takes a special kind of braincells in case of puzzling out a sentence of 'one bastard this and another that....'. Mission success, even with that, and a pointedly blatant ignorance of the fact he had just been refrerred to as a bastard, alas not before they ran into a fancy group of Shadows. Ah, timing. On the other hand, it had given Naomi the time to address the second part of the amazing point out, which had been enough to the point, that he had not bothered with it until figuring out the less logical compliation. Still, now that he went back to it, he felt like giving his own stand to that. Or a slight jest, depending on how would the skater interpret that.

Of course, his primary focus was on the enemies, as he looked them over briefly, lifting his hand up casually, the overexcited Shadow weapon taking the chance immediately, turning into its violet colored state.

That done, he would glance over to Yata, speaking up nonchalantly. ''If I understood you correctly, then yes, I am the person you were talking about....Also, I shall second what Naomi said. Honestly, I am not particularly interested in women in the first place, if that makes you feel any better about it.'' An obviously amused smile following that, along with finally making a strike against the Shadows. Well, let's 'play'.

The Wild Crow gave a sigh of relief to hear that this guy wasn't Naomi's boyfriend. Not like Yatagarasu cared or anything, right!? I mean, it's not like he was interested in her in the least. Of course not! Regardless, the hot head grabbed his head phones and began to move them over his ears. When the older male spoke that he was not interested in women, Yata got a cold chill. Was this guy after his pantsu!? Well, whatever the case these weird beings were popping up. The same things that he fought before. So they were called Shadows, huh? Whatever the case, his golden eyes began to burn gold and the scar on his chest burned even hotter. "Alright! That's what I'm talking about. Time to burn them all down!" Yatagarasu gripped his head in pain and crouched over while closing his eyes. With a feral roar, the sound of glass shattering in the wind became apparent, and a blaze of red came across his body.

"Murder them, Sol Invictus!"

On order, the tainted persona erupted from Yatagarasu's subconscious. Its mere presence caused the heat to raise within the area. Spinning its scepter, the Persona would cause a blaze of pillars to erupt beneath each Shadow, shooting towards the sky in hopes of turning them all to ash. After a few seconds, the attack would cease and the Persona would fade away in a blood red mist. Once the attack was done, the hot head would swipe his nose a few times while looking towards the two others. "That's how it's done! Though what the hell, dude? Do you not have a Persona? What's up with that strange light show?"

Awesome. Even without Hyde here to give them an advantage, they could hold their own. Naomi always knew they could, but seeing it in action was even better. How could she not be excited at this. Well, maybe being tossed around by a breeze and then cut. That wasn’t very fun. Thankfully for her, it didn’t seem to be that severe. Just in case, Miracle would make its way over to her, jumping into her arms and rubbing a small stuffed arm over the wounds beginning to show. Like magic, they would seem to begin to fix themselves and Beary remained on the frontlines and continued the assault. She’d look towards the other two, “I always knew you could do it, Yatagarasu. And somehow you’re still better at this than me.” Seeing as his fire appeared to do more than her rocks, “I’m not sure how I feel about that.” Seriously. She’d had Intertwined longer than he had, and she was still lagging behind him. At least it wasn’t as bad as the race, “How are you holding up, Sharaku?” He had gotten hit, probably just as badly as she had. He didn’t seem to have the same ability to mend himself that she did, however. She would have asked Yatagarasu, but the last time she had shown concern it ended badly. They’d just have to end this quickly so that they were out of danger.

At first Sharaku sort of expected some kind of insult to his latest remark, but it appeared the skater was more concerned about showing off than his rudeness at that exact moment. Oh well, a bit of a killjoy, but what can you do? That, and he couldn't say he was extremely overjoyed with the heat display. It did not bother him in any significant way, but it was the general principle. He had never been a fan of extremely high temperatures, and lately it gained another dimension, as ice and fire did not mesh well in the first place. On the other side, he had to admit for a purposeful show off, it hadn't been bad. Even if he didn't believe fancy style would be the thing to turn the tides in a battle.

He registered that the other was rather blatantly inquiring about his ways of fighting, but did not reply immediately, thanks to the Shadows striking back at them. '...Maybe I should stop even bothering...' Of course, they were getting banged up, and the one thing he cared about was that the wind was succeeding in messing up his hair again. Now that was rather annoying. It was definitely uncalled for, but alas he had more important things to focus on at the moment. Still, force of habit, therefore he would run his free hand through his hair as he looked at Yata. Sharaku did have a fairly good idea as to what was the younger's concern, as he wasn't stupid enough to not notice that so far everyone else had been using these Personas to fight, except him apparently. And he had actually wondered as to why was that so, but even he himself did not know exactly. ''Does that really...matter? I'm still fighting, am I not? We just have different ways of doing so.'', he would say in a mostly indifferent tone. It might not be the best idea to discuss details about this right here and now, though he would be forced to if Yata kept asking.

Sadly, the comment about a light show rubbed the wrong way on something he couldn't really control. ''Hmph. Weren't you just doing a show of your own a moment ago? So how about you shut your yap...unless you'd want me to perform a show on you. Now that would be something else!'' It was actually surprising this hadn't happened much sooner. Yata and the shadow weapon could probably shake hands when it came to arrogance and egoism afterall, and two of such kind together could only end up in something explosive. ''I'm afraid you aren't allowed to do that.'', Sharaku would address Violet Soul coolly, really not in the mood for a skirmish. Joy indeed. That said, Naomi was voicing her concerns and he would turn his gaze towards her for a moment. ''No need to worry, I am fine.'' Not that he was really worried about anything past his hair at the moment...and maybe considering just how many ways of shutting someone up existed. But, perhaps he could deal with that after these annyoing blobs made their exit...that might just be a good idea... 'Hm...'

Yatagarasu swiped his nose with a smirk as Naomi praised him. If there was one thing he wasn't going to be about, that was getting showed up by his skating apprentice and her weird looking not boyfriend. When she went to attack again, she seemed to have some horrible luck, considering she just missed completely. Even this dude throwing around ice seemed to be having some trouble. Tch, well it was obvious they'd need his help. And it even looked like he burned one of them!... Until his dumbass team mate used ice and canceled the ailment out. Yatagarasu looked at him with a pissed off expression. "What the fuck was that!? Don't put out my fires you dumb bastard!" The teen cursed at the guy, and continued to curse at him until one of the Shadows hit him with an attack. It caught him off guard, but he caused him to redirect his remaining anger towards them. "Don't mess with me!" He spat towards the blobs before kicking off his skateboard and flying up in a plume of smoke. Summoning his bat in a blaze of red.

"Let's send them flying, Invictus!" On command, the sharp pain shot through his body as his Persona emerged on the battlefield. The corrupted Persona would summon three balls of fire, hovering them above its right hand and towards Yatagarasu. The crow, in turn, would stand on his skateboard and take a typical batting stance. "One!" He called out, and the Persona fired one of the fireballs towards him. He pulled back and swung, sending the fireball like a baseball down towards the first Shadow. "Two!" He winded up once more as the second fireball came his way. With another swing, he'd look to hit the fireball down towards the second shadow that he knew was currently suffering from frostbite. This was in spite of the dumbass that put out his flames before and he purposely made the fireball curve around Sharaku, almost close enough to burn him, before heading to the Shadow. And now came the third one. "Time for a Homerun!" He swung once more, this time sending the last fire ball down into the last Shadow, sending pillars of fire and heat upward after each projectile went to their mark.

With this done, the Persona would vanish, and the crow would fall back down towards the ground, landing on his skateboard with a soft thud. "Nothing puts out my fires.. Tch." He mumbled under his breath like a kid who couldn't have his way.
