She felt her sensei come up beside her and soon she drifted off into sleep laying there unmoving. She breathed evenly her pulse dropped once but soon came back as her mind wandered through a vast desert. Her eyes danced from side to side as she moved through the dream watching golden flakes go through the air as she moved she tried to grab at them but when she opened her hands they were gone. Soon she saw a shadowed figure that looked like one of her clan but had a more evil look about him and needles in his hands. It was then that she realized the metaphor her mind was creating the doctor she had not seen but that had stolen her clan’s abilities. She took off and started to fight this figure her body started to sweat and her pulse started to race as if she were in a fight for her life. Her chakra even flared a few times in her sleep as the nightmare took hold of her. Soon her eyes shot open and she sat up as a scream came from her. Her eyes where dilated and and bouncing back and forth. It was like she wasn’t there at all. Soon they shut squeezed tight as she collapsed back. She then she went still her pulse racing but growing weak though racing through her system as her eyes where darting back and forth under her eye lids showing she was in a deep rim sleep. Her mind seemed to be effecting her bodies as light bruising started to form on her from her ordeal in her mind. she mumbled something but only a few audible words came out “you…my…will…die…clan”

The Jesters eyes shot to the demon being encased and almost wanted to laugh. It’s head turned to the side looking up at the large beast that snatched the Jesters father up and nodded watching it vanish. the face on the mask returned and it simple had a smile on it. though what he saw from the vibrations of it was what looked like a demon trapped in an object that it could not escape but it reacted to the wearer and moved things around on the mask. It was a hideous thing that looked like it was on the Jesters face. Crossing it’s arms across its chest not under what should of been a bust as his words suggested. Then as his form shifted the masks eyes narrowed and the jested shook its head turning and walking back into the bar and snatched up the water and placed it to the mask taking a drink the water passed to the lips hidden behind this mask.

“So you caught me for my crimes and because I survived the king was displeased interesting. I think I remember telling you that the fool will never die.” setting the empty glass of water down The Jester hopped back up onto the bar and perched. “You wish to take me in to the board for review for my actions. I took all their souls the mortals will just see them as disfigured humans or some human with a penchant for mutilating others and making corpses into freaks.” Bowing it’s head The Jester took a breath. “I was a rebel back then a foolish notion but it was the council that exiled my kind. I find it funny that they showed mercy to one of us I also wonder in my sanity if it was all just a means to hunt down the rebels with what I know?” Its hand extended to a chair at a table across from her. “Maybe we should talk before you take me back or are your orders so clear that you must follow them with out question and we don’t have time to share a drink and a story?”

The Jester continued down the street watching the People of nodnoL wander about. As those eyes darted about people gave it a wide birth so it appeared as if the sea was parting for The Jester. It had no where in particular it was going for the time being as the moon shifted over head keeping the Jester visible. This was only a minor inconvenience to its day but it had done its job and protected its secrets. As The Jester turned down and ally it remembered something and grinned and took off in a run. It shifted its course and went up the wall and bounced off in an acrobatic flip landing on a roof top and just kept moving not even breaking stride or losing momentum. The Jester knew where its father liked to hide and knew where the doorway was. Taking a leep off the edge of the building and twisted in the air and caught a flag pole and spinning around it and seeming to be heading back the way it came. The jester only back peddled a few feet before shifting to run down the roof and did a curl and rolled down the roof like a ball falling from it and landed on its feet with a smile. Glancing from side to side The jester started to stroll down the ally watching the demons that had lost their wealth where hiding smiling it left them be and tapped its bells. They just looked to it and shook their heads having resigned themselves to this life. Stopping at the end of the ally it turned and looked to the wall. Speaking lowly it just watched the wall. “Mirror mirror on the wall. Show me the way to the hall.” Grinning it pulled out a key and slipped it into the illusion that hide a gateway to the human world. and watched the mirror shimmer into existence then stepped through once on the other side it twisted the key and watched the mirror disappear into a wall panel in the bathroom. It was the ladies room. The Jester walked out and spotted its father quickly talking with a group of humans but they didn’t seem right none of them did in fact things seemed odd here and The Jester just walked through the floor and hopped up onto the bar and looked to the bar keep with a nod and perched there watching staring at its father. The barkeep gave it a glass of water and it took it holding it in front of itself with both hands its long nails tapping against the glass.

Tilting its head to the new arrival it was curious as to why it came here The Jester had come here to settle some family business but would not do so in public view so there it sat and waited. Its mind raced as to why this hunter had been sent here then it became clearly obvious the hunter had come for it. Watching the humans leave it bowed its head and then shook it as the bells jingled on its hat and it hopped off the bar standing there and looked to the hunter then to its father. Debating wither to speak or not it rolled its head back doing a back bend like the fool it appeared to be. The lips on the mask pursed and it brought its finger up from its waist in a circle and brought it to the lips on the mask and then smiled bending forward again and turned its attention back to its father. “Was this your end game to kill your own child. You Rebel fool. I once carried your ideals but now that I have a new purpose in life you chose to kill me or where you trying to recruit me again. I have my masters now our clan can life with out the fool. It did for some time before I picked up the guise again.” The Jester left the statement at that. Then heard the Hunter command everyone out again and shook its head. then bowed low extending its arms towards the door as if to let its father go first. “You heard the man Everyone out and by all means age before beauty.”

The shade sat there for some time while taking in what its child was saying and was almost impressed tell it stated it had new masters. He knew his child bowed to no masters so why would it say it did now what angle is it playing at? What game was playing through that twisted mind it once had? “So you now serve the council the same council that exiled and stripped our clan of everything it once was? You truly are pathetic. I am disgraced to call you my child.” He then started moving to the door but stopped about 5 feet from it and shook his head. “This is meant for you not me though you did expose me maybe I should kill you like the hunter intends to to save him the trouble buy me some good will?”

The Jesters face faded and the mask was blank now. “You really think you can kill what you cant see?” Watching its father from behind a mask it moved towards the door before it seemed to vanish all but the jingle of its bells. ” You think you still have what it takes old man?” Then a Laugh filled the bar just the bar it came from all directions. The Hunter would now be able to see everything clear as day in the bar granted The Jesters father was looking about to find where its child had gone. The Jesters father looked panicked as it started to move about quickly searching the bar but avoiding the door all together. The hunter would be able to see that his pray was leaning against the door frame just inside the bar and it turned its head a blank face still and it spoke again. “I take it this is about my disposal of demons that learned to much that had betrayed us to the Rebels?” The Jester asked to the Hunter who was ready to strike it down as soon as it stepped outside.

Then the shade that had been inside took off in a crazed sprint in its demon form out the door with out thought or consideration to what was going on as it was in a panic and couldn’t think to the danger it just saw an exit and was taking it. When it stepped out it stopped and looked up to the massive demon outside and spoke. “Oh shit.”

The Jester pushed off the wall and stepped to in front of the door. Still staying inside the bar waiting to see what would happen to its father and crossed its arms ready to move if that massive sword came down and took out not only its father but the bar it was standing in as well. “Tell my why you are here and I think you might want to take me in alive.”

Stopping she took a breath and looked to Tamekaze and then nodded and then twisted taking a full on punch her elbow being bent and not locking but getting the same amount of force as if it was a locked it. Then came in a strong upper cut into the gut of a dummy striking it firmly. She continued the assault by twisting and lowering her body in a spin but raised her leg but not in a sweep the heel hit the jaw of the dummy with such force it almost ripped it off. As the hit landed she brought her leg down as her arm came up in a block that would allow her to get into a low stand with her legs crossed and her fist came into the dummy’s chest with a leopard fist strike. Then brought her fist back and came in a swift snake strike into the small of its neck and actually came back with a small chunk of the dummy. Then staggered back and fall on her ass panting breathing hard and sweat was pouring down her. She had exerted herself and with her only one hour of sleep she had gotten from passing out she had nothing left she flopped back staring at the ceiling and her eyes started to close.

The wind blew causing the bells to jingle wildly and The Jester stopped as the wind started to circle around it. The head tilted and the masks face became blank holding no markings as if it had retreated inside and was no longer in the shell. A trick it learned long ago to make people thing that it was a husk that it switched between. A group of demons came stalking towards the body as it stood there. How had The Jester been found? Its mind danced with possibilities and it broke its trick and looked up seeing the moon had come. Had it been walking so long that it lost track of the time of day? Soon the demons had circled it and where joining hands they all looked of different class and type but they were all working together for a common goal from what The Jester knew this was uncommon in the city of nodnoL closing its eyes the shadows where gone The Jester had nowhere to run. It had been trapped. Looking down the Jester saw something and its expression showed and its anger flared their energies had formed a demon trap locking it in place this was not a move of the council someone else wanted to speak with it but The Jester was trying to figure out who would be so bold and know so well as hot to trap it and when to find it easiest.

Its face became cold as it saw what had found it and how it knew. The Demon that walked forth was cloaked in dark black ropes with a leathery face and its eyes seemed gone its mouth was almost a gaping hole and it spoke. “So my daughter the rumors are true you are one of them doing the bidding of the council. Reliquish your keys and abandon your title.” The Jester stood a dagger slipping into hits hand as the man laughed. “You can’t move you can’t fight this what do you expect to gain?” The demon floated around the circle then touched one of the circle and it jerked its power wavered and broke the seal. The Jester was free. Moving with blinding speed or at least it appeared so its dagger was already in one of their throats and was ducking low in a turn coming up slashing another’s throat with just its nails two down as the others converged in a smile came across The Jesters mask. It’s father quickly retreating with what appeared to be a smile on its face. As the demons grew closer shadows appeared and The Jester turned to wisps of shadow as swords and blasts of energy shot through it as each killed the other leaving a bloody mess that it didn’t want to have to fill out paper work for. Dipping its finger in blood it drew a door on the side of a building and took its key plunging it into the stone and twisted it in random directions and the door opened but the mirror that was in front of it looked like a waterfall. Walking over and grabbing one its gauntlet was on its hand gripping the head of one drawing its soul into its Gauntlet and tossed the body into the gateway it had just opened as the body fell through the sky of the human world the demon tumbled landing in the center of the valley of the grand canyon. Turning it grabbed the tail of the Lamia that had joined this cause and tossed it in drawing its soul in as well as this one passed through the door way it found itself in the ocean sinking. Turning it slammed its fist into something it thought only one existed of a knowledge demon and drew in its soul then threw it into the doorway this one landed in the ruins of the library of Alexandria. It would talk with the bishop about this later it would want to know. The Jester then grabbed the rest and started slinging them in most landing in unexplored forests but the spider demon the one that had made the mistake of freeing it tossed and landed in the middle of a board meeting for one of the largest companies in the world Microsoft.

Once The Jester was done cleaning up its mess it slammed the door and then cleaned the blood away and walked off whistling now and letting its bells go back to jingling with each step The Jester took. Slowly making its way to a tavern it walked inside and slipped to the back and sat watching the patrons.

The day was dark and the light reviled the shadows. The denizens of this city milled about unaware of the danger that lurked here what had been assigned to this place. Moving silently the interacted with each other as if spiders that had formed a colony. They seemed weary of each other and almost ready to attack it was like a powder keg waiting to explode. For this reason The Jester had been sent to enforce the laws. It stood atop the tallest building and looked down upon the city watching their interactions with each other. The figure was dressed in black and white checkerboard pattern body suit that hugged its form but gave nothing away to what it was another mystery that only one person knew. A smile crawled across the white mask with black paint to give way to a face. How the Jester truly saw was a mystery in it of itself It took and Launched off the building plummeting towards the ground. The Jester allowed itself to be seen doing this almost as a I’m here watching statement. As it continued toward the ground people watching on in hope and fear. Some feared its appearance others hoped it would die in this stunt, and some still knew this was an omen of things to come. Once the jester dropped far enough and entered a shadow people saw it disappear into the darkness. Sliding into the shadows it entered a planar dimension where time moved faster than outside and pulled it’s keys out and started to flip through the keys it had and hummed. “Now which one.” The Jester watched the doors slid by in front of its face. Lifting it’s hand a door stopped and a key was slipped into the lock the door shimmered and became a mirror and The Jester stepped through it stepping out onto the streets. Slipping its hands into pockets that didn’t seem to exist it hummed stepping along the streets leaving people curious as to where the humming and Jingling was coming from. Some got paranoid more so than normal others chose to ignore it but The Jester didn’t care while it walked the streets watching and waiting either for orders or for a need to act by the laws being broken.

Carves a name into the laws and smiles then skips off.

Jane looked to her and nodded with a smile and slowly stood up and took a deep breath and bowed to her and walked over to the dummies and stared at it she then slowly pulled her leg back and took a deep breath and lowered herself staring at the dummy and then shifted bringing her arm up in an vicious uppercut knocking the dummies head back but not off the other arm came up in a block and she then brought it down with her fingers cupped as it hit the center mass of the body of the dummy she then shifted her stance walking it forward but brought herself low in an almost kneel the one knee that should have been on the ground was hovering above it and she brought her hands up and split the center of her body and brought her arms up in a high large circle and brought the backs of her fists down hard onto the dummies pushing them back a few inches the motion was hard and fast enough to actually cause a whistle in the wind.

[Silver]

Jane moved closer to her and helped her lay back down then sat beside her and smiled with a gentle grin.”Formulate a lesson plan and I will watch over you and protect you while you heal. Just work on figuring out my training sensei and we will be okay I promise.” She looked to her desk then back down to her and took a deep breath and sighed. “Sensei while you are healing may I read through your documents in your desk and see what I can learn from them?” she was trying to let her rest and offer ideas to help her relax and still maintain training.

[Silver]

She watched in shock and took a breath and then sat down and folded her robe in her lap and looked to her sensei and closed her eyes and bowed her head. “I understand what you are saying you didn’t have to put yourself in danger to do that we can wait tell you are rested and continue If you wish I will watch over you tell you are well.” She offered and sat there hands in her lap. “You need to recover that is why I asked that we do something that you can just stay where you are to rest and restore yourself.”

[Silver]

Jane thought and bowed her head lifting her hand to her chin then reached up and pulled her cloak off folding it over her arm. “Well if his bones where more dense and stronger then yours then he would be able to break it. If you felt the sand would not be strong enough against him then you would use what you felt would be a more reasonable resistance as bone against bone could survive and bone weapons are stronger then most stone or metal weapons. Even if made from animal bones. You felt you could match his skill and you where wrong as his where denser and harder than your own and he was able to break yours.” she knew her answer was offensive but she felt it was right. “And yet sand could do the same but if bone where to hit it just right it could pierce between the grains and push them out the way and force its way through much as his bones did with yours. I also think he is not only more practiced but has a better understanding of how we work as a whole. Now also his chakra was stronger and he would of been able to better strengthen his bones you where weak and would not be able to match it.” She then closed her eyes and bowed her head as if she had just shamed herself.

[Silver]

Looking to her she thought a moment and closed her eyes focusing on the question. She knew how hard her bones could get and she knew that her bones could withstand much pain and smiled.”Sand would be harder than bone in a condensed form though bone itself can be harder than stone. So the question is double fold the reason sand can be harder than bone is because of its ability to give. Bone has the weakness of not giving but being hard though even bone can soften and given so in the end both are small and brittle and both have the ability to withstand great punishment.” she rambled on as she puzzled through the question and yet came to the conclusion that both where equal in their own rights. “It depends on what you need but the only way to destroy something hard would be to use that against it. Though sand with enough pressure can even remove stains from the street through the process of sand blasting. My clan told me about it and we have seen it in action in other villages.” She hoped her answers where satisfactory.

[Silver]

She nodded and listened to the cracking of her back and how she seemed to be in pain and got this concerned look on her face then nodded to her seeming to want to teach from where she was. “As you wish. We will do our best from here and clean it up when you are rested.” She knew it wasn’t best but maybe she could get it correct and do this right. She stepped towards the training dummies and then turned to her Sensei and bowed breathing as she waited for instruction.

[Silver]

She watched her sensei and smiled at her and stood up blood on her white outfit and she offered her hand and smiled softly. “Come on lets go relax some it’s been a hard day.” She was fighting back her want to go and hunt the bastard down but if he could do this to her she was not ready and would need to be ready but with them both being weak they both could do nothing and she pulled her chakra to a stop as she smiled softly looking like a young girl just happy to have her friend back. “As for how we deal with it I don’t know maybe it has something to do with how our body works with the bones the tearing of the flesh hurts but I think the muscles may just move out of the way and rework themselves around the bones so that we can still move never really understood that part and sense no one has studied one of us while we are alive they wouldn’t know how as I said I really don’t know how just taking a guess.” She then smiled again and waited for her sensei to get up and figured they could sit and read and maybe do something but what she wasn’t exactly sure on as she didn’t want to tax her sensei more than she already was. “Maybe we could train if you just sat and relaxed and I did all the work?” She thought that sounded silly after she said it and smiled. “I know that’s a silly thought”
