The New Era~~~Chapter 11

~~~Chapter 11: Hunting
Suddenly, just as Rai brought his sword down, a steel plated shoe kicked it off the roof. Standing next to Brandi stood Hunter, dressed in his brown coat and jeans, his ball and chains attached to both feet already.
“Hey now, don’t go swinging something like that around, someone could get hurt,” Hunter remarked, smirking.
“Who are you?” Rai asked, jumping back instantly.
“Hunter. Now then, I’m going to have to defeat you for attacking this village and this woman,” Hunter replied.
Rai’s feet began to spark with small thunder clouds again, charging up power, ready to fight. Hunter was the first to move. He swung his at Rai’s head, who swiftly dodged. But Hunter’s ball and chain came down in a circular motion and smacked him in the side of the face. One could hear his cheek bone break in half.
“Not bad…” Rai said, coughing up blood, “but what about this?!”
Rai slammed each of his feet into opposite sides of Hunter’s waste, sending a huge electric current through his body; but Rai still had more. Just as he had done to Brandi, he put one of his hands on either side of Hunters head, letting a current go in there, too.
When the onslaught ended, Hunter simply stood, unaffected by the brutal amount of lightning.
“That was nothing,” he said, breathing heavy, “watch this…”
He brought his knee up to his chest and a miniature cloud of mist seemed to envelope his legs. Suddenly, both his lower legs and ball and chains froze of with blocks of ice, the mist still there because of the cold.
“I’m bringing the blizzard…”
He disappeared, leaving Rai utterly lost, before he reappeared behind him and kicked him in the back of his head.
“So… cold,” muttered Rai, shivering; a patch of ice had appeared on the back of his neck.
“Ice… anything my feet or ball and chains touch will now freeze over,” said Hunter coolly.
Hunter jumped up and began plummet down onto Rai, landing right on his face, pushing him through every floor of the building, right into the earth under it.

Hunter rushed Brandi to Chihiro, who had already gone to her home for the night. He banged on the door, and Chihiro simply opening the door, stole Brandi, and threw sticks at Hunter, who ran off, very confused.

The next day, Sen, Kisara, and Brandi were walking around Konoha, talking about things… just random things. Brandi had been surprised that she had been healed so quickly, and a little ashamed that she hadn’t been able to thank Hunter.They all froze, scared out their minds, when they saw Eeda walk by, remembering the disgusting thing he had done when he was a lonely man living in the dessert…
