Izaku brought down his blade on the opponent that stood before him, though it did no good. They had reacted fast enough to block his swing before jumping back a few feet. Thrown back a bit by the contact of the two weapons, Izaku quickly recovered and charged forth again. His foe once again reacted before his strike could land, this time dodging to the side and slashing horizontally. Izaku ducked and rolled out of the way, barely avoiding the blade as it brushed up against his hair. Through the dust that floated in the air he could see his opponent resting his blade on one shoulder. How long had this battle been going on? He couldn't even fathom just how long they had been at it, hours? days even? It was impossible to tell. Izaku got back to his feet and held hyoumenkaken out before him in an aggressive stance. The sand slowly settled back onto the ground, leaving both combatants staring at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.

"You are not yet ready Izaku, this battle is meaningless... " The man that stood before him looked eerily similar to Izaku, the only differences were that his hair was longer and his eyes were yellow with a strange pattern of lines criss-crossing over them. He also had a strange yellow aura surrounding him. "I didn't ask what you thought... Now be gone." Izaku's blade dissolved, separating into hundreds of tiny shards. The shards swarmed about him for a moments before flying toward the man in a wall of metal. "... Are you really so determined to be rid of us? To even think of it is lunacy..." His opponent's blade shattered, splitting into just as many pieces. These formed a wall and intercepted Izaku's attack, blocking each and every one of the shards. The shards continued swarming about, constantly striking at each other and blocking the other group's movements. As this continued, The man stood still, grinning as he focused on reading the shard's attacks and countering them. Were it not for the shadow that was suddenly cast over him, he might not have ever seen the next strike coming.

Izaku came crashing down, kicking up a massive cloud of sand as he slammed down into the desert sands where his opponent had been only a moment ago. He immediately locked onto the man's silhouette and uppercut with his blade. The strike was blocked, but it knocked his foe slightly off balance. He rammed into him with his armored shoulder, throwing him back onto the desert sand. He came down on the man, pinning him to the ground while he held the tip of his blade to the man's neck. "You can't control me anymore Tor, give me back what is mine." The man let out a long, almost evil laugh, grinning afterward in the same manner. "Ha, you remembered my name? How very interesting.... but you are incorrect on one point. Was it really us that sealed away what you seek? Or did we just help you forget?" Izaku glanced over his shoulder to see Tor's shards racing towards him. His turned and held up his hand, calling forth his own shards to block them. This gave Tor and opening. He kicked Izaku in the gut and swung up his sword arm, slashing him across the cheek. Izaku landed on his back, kicking up even more sand as Tor got back to his feet. "You can't break away from us... As I said, you aren't ready.... yet... you are much closer than I thought... Perhaps there is an outside factor... who can say? Now... vanish." Tor slammed his sword into the sand and rested his hands on the hilt. The world around Izaku completely dissolved into nothingness, starting at the horizon and quickly closing in around him until everything around him except for Tor was utter blackness. Then, Tor vanished as well, leaving nothing but the darkness.

Izaku's eyes flew open just as a shard from Hyoumenkaken grazed his cheek in the same spot the Tor had hit, making a cut identical to the one from his blade. His mind asked a familiar question: How long had it been? Once again he found himself unable to answer, had he been sleeping for hours or days? More importantly, how had his sword gotten into its position in the ground? Why was he sitting up? and why was he subconsciously meditating? All of these questions would be left unanswered. Letting out a sigh, he gathered up the great cloud of metal that swarmed around him and reattached the shards to the blade. His stomach told him that at the very least, it had been several hours. He was starving. The last shard to attach to the blade was the one that had his blood in it. Even as a dream, the battle had taken a tole on him. The damage was made real and he felt mentally exhausted. As he reached into a pocket on his belt for a piece of jerky, he pondered the significance of the dream. The man that he had been fighting, Tor was it? He recognized him from another dream that he had on the day that Cheza left on her journey with the one that had called himself Zeek. In the other dream, there had been three entities fighting, one red, one blue, and one yellow. Tor had been the Yellow entity. Izaku found himself questioning how he came by the name, it just seemed to pop into his mind, as if he had known it all his life.

He took a bite of the jerky, immediately considering hunting for some real food after. Before he fell asleep, two days had past after the kunoichi had left. Right now, light was just barely creeping up over the horizon; it was almost dawn. That meant this was at the very least the third day that he had been waiting. She warned him that it might be awhile before she returned, but time had long since lost its significance for Izaku; living without ones memories had that effect. Leaning back against a rock, He looked about him at the scenery and let out a soft sigh. He admitted to himself that he missed his home in kiri. To help with this bit of home sickness, he brought his hands together and made a quick string of handseals. The air about him was quickly filled with a thick mist that limited sight to only a few feet in every direction. He grinned at the unnatural effect it had on the landscape of Iwa, it was completely out of place, yet it made him feel a bit better. Normally the mist would have dispersed rather quickly, but it was cold and the ground was already wet with dew. He grabbed one of his scrolls off the ground beside him and unsealed one of the many symbols that covered its length. Two rocks appeared in his hand and he rolled the scroll back up before he got to his feet. A small pile of wood was stacked next to a pile of ashes that was surrounded by stones. Izaku had set up a camp of sorts after the first day, realizing that he could very well be waiting for quite a length of time. He quickly started a fire and sat back down next to the flames. He didn't know how much longer he would be there, but he promised the kunoichi that he would wait until she returned. He wasn't sure why exactly he cared, but he couldn't bring himself to leave. It was a bit odd; besides the crackling of the flames, there was not a sound to be heard. Coupled with the mist that surrounded him, Izaku felt very much secluded; he was completely alone.

He managed to shrug the feeling off as his stomach let out a low growl. Deciding that he might as well find some food while he waited, he lifted up his blade and walked into the mist. within a few minutes, he spotted a prey. A relatively large deer wandered around in search of a river that ran nearby, it looked confused in the thick mist that Izaku had created. Grinning at his luck, Izaku separated several shards from his blade and went to work, returning to the fire only a few minutes later with a fair amount of meat. He stabbed his blade into the ground then threw down a few pieces of meat on a rock that he had positioned in the center of the fire. He hadn't been greedy; he only took what he needed and left the rest for the local predators, which had become scarce recently. As the smell of fresh meat floated into the air, Izaku took a seat back on the ground while he waited for his meal to finish cooking.

OoC: Maybe we could fit the training in. We can try, since I'll be on a lot tomorrow morning. It might give Cheza another edge in the competition.

IC:

Cheza returned to Iwagakure through the portal once again, and found herself near a familiar sight- where she first noticed Toboe and the Phantom talking to one another. She looked around on the off-chance that she could find him. She turned around, looking for him, when Toboe came out from the rift as well. "Looking for Spectre? Let me see..." He sniffed the air before she could speak, and sped off, her in close persuit. She found him quickly, Toboe staring at him. "Wow... so that's where that smell came from." the wolf said. "Nice to meet you, Spectre. As you see, we've made it back alive." Cheza shook her head, and bowed to the man. Nice to meet you again, Izaku-sama... I was going to go to the Chuunin Exams... Is there anything you can give me in the way of pointers? Anything would be nice. She asked him. After all, he was an accomplished Shinobi himself... or so she thought.

Izaku was already digging into his second piece of meat when he finally saw Toboe appear through the fog. He stood up and bowed back to Cheza, before continuing his meal. "I was starting to wonder if you'd being returning... its been days." The mention of the Chuunin exams jogged his memory; at least now he knew what day it was. I was asleep that long? how very strange.... as for the exams.... I wonder if she might be able to... He had no memory of his own chuunin exam, but he must have gone through one at some point; He remembered having a jounin jacket before he joined Silent reality.

Izaku Looked up at cheza for a moment then turned towards his blade. "I... Have an idea..." He raised his hand and the blade lifted up out of the ground, floating to his hand. He held it out before him so that Cheza could see. "This blade is called Hyoumenkaken, if you haven't noticed already, it has unique properties... If you're looking for an edge in the exams, this might be able to supply it." He flipped the bulky blade around so that its hilt was pointed towards her and offered it to her. "Be careful, its rather heavy when you first wield it."

Toboe looked on in interest to what the male was doing. "It's only been one day from what I can tell... at least, there it was. And we'd never abandon anyone who befriends us, right, Cheza?" Cheza nodded and smiled at the male. "Mind if I take some of this meat?" he asked the man, and sat down nearby. Meanwhile, Cheza was focused on the sword in front of her. It looked rather cumbersome and not worth the effort, but she had seen it's properties, and they were well worth it, at least in her mind. Yeah... I've seen it... Break apart, right? she asked him, and took the blade. If he let go, it'd fall down. Woah... it is heavy... she said, as if suprised that the man's knowledge of his own blade was correct. Shaking her head. she hefted the blade up. Heh... If I keep this thing on my body, I think that I can use this when I transform into my other forms, since I keep all my clothing and whatnot... which I'm grateful for. she added, with a slight blush. So... how do you use the abilities... since I don't think I'm going to be waving the blade around, am I?

Izaku gave a slight nod to Toboe before handing him a piece of meat. He looked back towards Cheza, watching as she tried to lift up the blade by herself. It started to fall, but Izaku focused his chakra and stopped it in mid air. "That is correct... What you see as a bulky sword is merely a longsword, surounded by hundreds of tiny shards. The pieces are held together and infused with your chakra, giving you control over each and every one." To illustrate this concept, he mentally lifted the blade up, making it completely weightless in her hands. He then made the blade leave her hands and drive itself into the earth. "Once you learn how to use the blade, you will be able to swing it about as if it were just a stick"

"The first step is to push out the old user's chakra and insert your own." He put his hands on the blade's hilt and sent a burst of chakra through. The shards of the blade exploded outward before falling down. Each individual shard hung from the blade by a tiny strand of chakra, creating a small light show before them. "Go on, I've weakened the chakra bonds that i put in place so it should be easier for you."

Toboe ate the meat that was given to him, while watching both him and Cheza talk about the sword he was going to be giving her. Cheza watched the man speak, and felt him make the blade weightless, but as she was going to swing it, it flew out of her hands and into the earth. So you can... control this without ever holding it...? she wondered aloud, but then watched him make the sword explode.

She heard him talk, and looked confused. However, she shrugged it off, and placed her own chakra inside the blade, as he had told her to do. She felt her chakra go inside the blade, and the strings detached from the shards, and new strings- her strings- reattached them. You sure... you want to give this to me...? she asked him, then turned back to the sword, and moved her chakra to pull the shards back together. Thank you... Izaku-sama... she said, lifting the sword up, and placing it on her shoulder. She was going to have to make a sheath for this, that was for sure...

Izaku grinned as Cheza managed to create her own bonds of chakra. "That blade is my legacy... but... I... Trust you with it..." He watched her lift the sword up again and start to walk away. "Good luck Cheza. I can only hope that you do well." He stared off into space, watching her leave through he fog until her outline was indistinguishable. He looked down at the gauntlet that covered his left hand. He focused his chakra for a moment and several shards broke off of the fingertips, moving to his knuckles. He Had left himself a few shards in the form of the gauntlet, but that was all he needed. The rest of the blade went with the kunoichi; chances are that she would do more good with it than he ever had. ... The puppet is stringless... but what does he do with his freedom? What is the puppet's purpose without a master? I might have an idea... He took once last bite of his meat before he threw the rest onto the fire. A series of handseals made the mist stronger, choking the flames until they were extinguished. He found himself looking at his hand again. Tor... Claire... and... Azreal? What are these names? He shook his head clear and walked off into the mist, vanishing in seconds.
