Time's TICKING [Bijuu only]

[nibi]

Daylight streamed through the tunnel making Nibi wince slightly at the sudden brightness. She had been used to walking through the tunnels, which was linked up to the old and abandoned manor. However, now she had reached the end of the passageway and was standing out in the middle of the forest. Trees and mountains surrounded her, to some, they would be a little afraid of the large terrain before them, wondering if they would ever find their way back. The blonde did not feel this way for she had travelled this route many times in the last few years, it had become so familiar to it that she bet that she could travel the route blindfolded.

School had finished for the day and Nibi didn’t feel like spending time on homework, when did she ever? So instead, she decided to drop by the Bijuu Hideout. She hoped someone was there, or would come, otherwise someone was in for a lashing. She glanced up at the trees as she walked underneath them, the green leaves were now turning to shades of red, brow and orange, dyed that way by the changing of season. She frowned slightly at the thought, she didn’t like Fall, that meant Winter was on it’s way and that certainly was a season she could do without. She ran her fingers through her golden hair for a moment, concentrating on the floor rather than the sky and leaves above her head. Rays of light broke through the canopy and dappling the grass below her feet, she was simply satisfied by staring at the surroundings until she came to a stop right at her destination.

Nibi stood silently in front of the large cave entrance, it seemed dark and gloomy, like a monster with it’s jaws open, waiting for prey to stumble into it’s mouth. She didn’t feel scared to go in by herself, she was merely curious if another Bijuu member would stumble along anytime soon. They were all so terribly slow, she could have done two trips to the Mansion and back by now. Instead, she sat herself down upon a boulder outside the cave. Her slender legs swung back and forth as she waited, her eyes narrowed in impatience for someone to come into view.

The silence was slowly broken as from the inner workings of the cave, a slow disturbance was heard. It was far from being so disturbing as it was a change of atmosphere. The sound was soft and barely recognizeable as it only passed from the cave due to the echoing off the cave walls. It grew a bit louder and distinguishable, the echoing adding a strange resinence that complimented it. To the trained ear it became clear, it was a song, not in the native tounge however. It flowed throughout the cave as if someone had written the music on the walls and it was just coming to life.

Anyone who knew anything about the members of the Bijuu could easilly guess it was Shichibi, the creative yet obnoxious badger. Although one could hardly tell who he was by listening to his song. The melody was smooth, slow, and soothing. The dynamics were constantly changing, a powerfull phrase slowing into a whisper. At a point it seemed the music stopped getting louder, but instead flowed constantly from one location not too far inward.

Shichibi sat on a large stone just out of eyeshot from the entrance, staring at the ground, singing as if it was just second nature. Sure he could have stepped outside, but the one thing he loved about the hideout was the amazing acoustics in the cave. Rooms couldn't replicate the natural beauty of it all so he often practiced there, sometimes getting in trouble for attracting to much attention, but he never did unveal the cave. His voice was truely a god given gift and nobody could honestly detest the sound, especially how tuned and practiced Shichibi was.

Shiori walked with some sort of importance from the school, sweeping through the crowds of people with a single glance. The power that came along with her position was amazing - and the fact that she wasn't the most friendly person either just added to it. Shiori clipped quickly across the pavement, beneath a canopy of trees where small ribbons of light peeked through timidly as she hurried towards the cave where the Bijuu gan met. She was moving quickly - but at a liesurly pace at the same time.

As Shiori reached the dark mouth of the cave, she saw the silky blonde hair, and the slender swinging legs of Nibi. The glare that she cast Nibi as she passed by spoke volumes. She only opened her mouth to say a simple hello. "Nibi." She'd been able to get along well with Nibi, but she felt as though the girl wasn't willing to get along with her. So be it, Shiori though each time, shrugging it off as though waving away an annoying fly.

As she moved farther into the cave, to settle in the shadows where she'd sit and plot some more, she heard the rising noise of a steady voice, a melody she wasn't familiar with. "Shichibi," She said, her voice just audible enough, "Stop. Please." She snarled, rolling her eyes at the manners she had been trained into using by her parents.

Shiori leaned up against the wall, her violet eyes closed, her fingers rumpling a piece of pink fabric between her slender fingers as she thought. She was always wondering about her childhood, and what had made her the way she was. She always wondered why she couldn't stop saying such mean things - but it was such a habit, and so addictive almost, that she didn't dare stop. Besides, what did she need others for? Human emotions were a weakness, and they'd never bring her to any sort of power. She forced herself to leave behind any cares or worries she would've normally felt, just in order to train herself for her future plans; being the leader of the Bijuu.
