The Tavern 3.0

[Troi]

"Who's there?.. Kaz?"

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kaz shakes his head

"Not the kaz you know..."

 

[Troi]

"Then which Kaz am I talking to?.." *She lazily rolls over to face him*

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

"This is the Kaz you dont know..his inner demon...Yokai...*he reaches out and grabs her throat* I rarely get an opportunity to show myself anymore" He grins madly "You're quite the beautiful one arent you?"

 

[Troi]

"What?..!" *Tsubaki struggles to breathe* "Well then if this isn't the Kaz I know... Then... I'll have no problem killing you..." *With her left arm, she shoves a chidori through Kaz's stomach* "Get away from me!" * She flips the bed over in a feeble attempt to protect herself*

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

The shock returns Kaz back to his own head and he collapses on the bed, hanging off the side. His hair returns back to his usual mix of red and green "Uhhh....what happened?"

 

[Troi]

*Tsubaki quickly summons her sword and she points it towards Kaz. A tear rolls down her cheek as she stays silent*

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kaz sees that she is shaken and a sudden realization dawns on him "Oh God no...it was him...wasnt it.." He gets up and limps around to the other side of the bed where Tsubaki is. He is unable to get close to her due to the sword in his face "I-it wasnt me..."

 

[Troi]

"... Stay back... Stay away from me... Or I WILL kill you..." *Tsubaki shakes as she speaks*

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kaz's face contorts into an expression of deep emotional pain as he buries his face in his hands "Why must he run everything..." He falls to the ground by choice and his hands grasp his bangs while his forearms obscure his face "Im so sorry...whatever he did to you. Tsubaki..."

 

[Troi]

"Leave... Now..."

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kaz stands up and limps to the door. Before he exits he looks back at her, then finally leaves. He goes back to his room and stares out the window

 

[Troi]

*Tsubaki lets out a sigh and lies on the floor*

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kaz sits down on the ground and begins to meditate. All other sounds drain away and he slowly slips into his own mind. A seemingly endless hallway lines with doors greets him as makes contact with his subconscious. He takes a deep breath and begins walking, knowing exactly which door to open

 

[Troi]

*Tsubaki sneaks out of the hospital and limps her way back to the tavern*

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

As he comes upon a red door with chains on it, Kaz stops. He sighs and walks through it. Inside is Yokai, bound by chains

Kaz: I thought I told you to never show yourself again

Yokai: hmhmhm....you cant silence me, mortal.

Kaz: You're wrong *he holds his hand out and clenches it into a fist. A blanket of chains falls on Yokai and he hisses* If I ever see you again, Ill seal both of us away...

Yokai: Do what you must..but I will never truly be silenced...HHAAAA!!!! *He breaks out of the chains and lunges at Kaz*

_________________________

Kaz opens his eyes wide with a startle. He shakes his head "This cant be good" He weaves a handseal and summons his spirit dragon, Byakko. They fly off back towards the tavern

 

[Troi]

*Tsubaki stumbled in front of the tavern and lays down*

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Byakko lands on top of the tavern and Kaz gets off. Seeing Tsubaki there, he gets out of view, not realizing that he just rode in on a dragon

 

[Troi]

*Tsubaki passes out again*

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kaz gasps and jumps down, picking her up he takes her inside and sets her down in her booth and just stands there for a moment. He is unsure what to do so he continues to stand there
