Galv raised an eyebrow at Lavan, sighing at the accusation.

“I’m not an imposter,” he said. “I just…realized a few things about myself.”

Galv paused, looking at the three here. Of all the people in the world, Sama, Lavan, and Naruto, they might know what he was going through.

“It’s…The X-Tailed Mouse…” Galv muttered, “The demon sealed in me is different from yours. All of your demons had been around and been evil, had their own experiences before being sealed. Mine has not. All it knows is what I know, seen through my eyes. It feels the same emotions as I do, it amplifies them…For all intensive purposes, we are practically one. It’s not so much as sealed as sorta…around…”

He frowned, considering his next words carefully, “The X-Tail’s power comes from emotions. My Seven Heavenly Virtues and Seven Deadly Sins Justu is an example of that…It can greatly increase my power, but…

“It can also be bad. Ever since Voyager attacked and used that black chakra, if I feel to much of any emotion, it starts to build up and take over everything else. I could seriously hurt someone if I let myself feel to much of any emotion…”

“Like Maize…” Galv thought to himself.

From a table behind where the four kunoichi were seated, a silver-haired man who had recently been seated had arranged on the table before him, a bunch of playing cards set up for a quick game of Solitare. However, after hearing the conversation about sneezing, he spoke up.

"Ya know, back in the olden times, people thought sneezin' brought ya closer to death, or could jus' out kill ya," he said, not too seriously. "So ya better watch out if that continues," he then added with a light and not-too-serious laugh.


Konoha Library

Miyazawa Raida was busy burying her nose in some books. Over the last 2(?) weeks, she had been even more aloof than usual, spending much of her time either trying to work like an assistant for the Hokage, during this rebuilding process, or reading through stuff in the library. The purpose she wanted to believe for her library studies was to see if she could help find info on Nanami's parents (as Nanami herself was trying to do at the Police Station), though she didn't tell anyone of this.

But in truth, Raida was just trying to avoid thinking about any of the issues that came up involving herself, that day a few weeks ago.

Sama paused for a moment as Galv explained his problem. He wasn't sure he fully understood -- since Galv's biju was different, but he did get an idea.

"You know, sounds to me like your emotions are out of what because his emotions are out of whack... maybe... I don't know... maybe one of our biju could talk to your's."

Sama wasn't sure if Gobi would listen to him, or if the giant five-tailed dog demon sealed inside him would even want to help another biju. Sama rubbed the back of his head and shrugged.

"What do you guys think?" He asked Naruto and Lavan. Naruto had held a biju inside him for longer than any of the other three had been alive, and might have a good idea . . . and Lavan seemed to always have some trick of idea.

Restaurant

Nanami raised an eyebrow to the silver-haired man.

"Like I said, it's all just superstitious nonsense." Nanami repeated, keeping her eyes on the man, and they narrowed. It was probably just a joke, but . . . Nanami overreacted to things like that, especially with talk about death.

Lavan shoved his bowl away for a second, thinking just for a few moments before his grin appeared on his face again, though his eyes remained completely serious as he looked at the lightning guy.

"... I think you have the same problem as any of the fire-tamers from my village, as ANY of the Hachi family. Your... Well, how would you call it? Second personality or somethin' if it's not bijuu? Well, whatever it is, it feeds off of your emotions, amplifying them, giving you a false sense of security and strength as it gives you power, as it raises your emotions. It's the same for me, and what I like to call the Heart of Fire. Fire is the most volatile element, hardest to harness and control, and probably the most destructive if let loose, though I am SURE you can argue with me on that one, Galv.
"Where am I going with this? Well, what we of the Hachi family do is what no other DARES to do, and it WORKS. We are ALL rather emotion-driven, but we do not REPRESS the emotions within us. In fact, if emotion is such a powerful ally, an amplifier to your abilities, then USE them. You don't have to fear its intensity and the power that it gives. You won't lose your mind, at least not any more than you already have, and I KNOW you have a good heart. I can see it. Even in a state where you are not in control of your emotions at all, that is the state in which you are LEAST likely to hurt anyone you care for, because your kindness is so deeply ingrained in you. I would know, it is second nature to me to sometimes watch my emotions run wild. I have NEVER hurt any of my teammates, and not because they decided not to stick around when I exploded. I care for them, and I don't like seeing them hurt."

He pointed at Galv. "And here's a thought. What if you repress your emotions, DON'T let them run wild and give you the power you need... When, say, that Maize girl gets pulverized into a pulp by some psycho? Of course, you'd get super-angry and all that PENT-UP emotion will get away from you just as you are thinking it will do right now, burst all the dams and fry the psycho, Maize, you, and anything within a 5-mile radius."

He got back to his ramen for a second, burying his head in the food yet again, letting a small silence last before he raised his head again and looked at Galv, slurping up a noodle and smacking his lips loudly.

"You need to CONTROL your emotions. NEVER let them fester. And controlling does not mean keeping them in behind those dams you built up. Most often, as the case SHOULD be, you need to let those emotions OUT. Happiness, sadness, anger, grief... They are all part of what you are and the power you hold. USE them. Don't hide them because you think they are too much. HOWEVER."

Another few seconds of slurping as Lavan got down to half a bowl.

"If you think it is Voyager's Dark Chakra that has caused this, then you NEED. Absolutely NEED. Without ANY delay. To see Maya in the hospital. She was the one that treated all the patients with the same infestation, and you should see her about it. I doubt the Chakra will fuse with your system, it wasn't made to and Voyager does not want that. But it will be detrimental in the long run."

He looked at Sama for a second, his brow furrowed in thought, before he started slurping up noodles... And finished off the bowl with a loud sigh of satisfaction. "These guys have the BEST ramen... But they still don't compare to the tomato-sauce noodles gramps from Yougankure makes. They're the best. As for the bijuu talk idea... It brings up an interesting point. If you think the Dark Chakra is sitting in you, Galv, then visit Maya. But if, perhaps, the BIJUU has been tainted... Then I better let Suzaku out for a talk with that rat of yours. She... He... Damn, I'm not sure which he or she is anymore, but IT has been very civil with me lately. If you want we can do a small check-up."

Hikaru snorted. "That guy is nothing more than a snot nosed brat. Your a Sannin, and so is she. What's he going to do? That kid is nothing" Hikaru said trying to reassure his friend. "Your the second best ninja from our generation if theres a problem you'll be able to handle it, and if that kid trys something, you can bet I won't stand for it either. But with this mission is seems as if we'll be leaving soon anyways."

The ninja rubbed the back of his head as they continued walking. "Have you heard the rumors about that village that was obliterated?"

Restaurant

Misaki looked up at the newcomer and smiled, "Hi!" She exclaimed joyfully. She then returned to her food. "I've heard that people sneeze when someone talks about them as well. I think Musashi might have mentioned it."

Galv sighed, thinking over what the other’s had told him. Lavan had a very good point, and not letting his emotions get pent up. But still…

“It’s…not that simple,” Galv said, thinking carefully, “Any emotion that I feel can be amplified. And it’s always just a single emotion. Most of the time we’re feeling multiple things. We might say we’re just ‘happy’ or ‘sad’ or even ‘angry’ but that’s not the truth.

“If I focus to much on my emotions, if I let them get the better of me, one of them will grow to the forefront and supersede everything else. Love becomes lust, courage becomes recklessness, justice becomes revenge…

“Though, you do have a point…I probably should see Maya…But truth be told, I’ve been starting to have this problem since before the Voyager incident…”

He frowned, neglecting to tell them about the time he almost killed Maize during training…If that other ninja, who’s name I can’t remember, but I think was one of GS’ lesser characters, hadn’t been there…

Naruto laughed. "You kids have too much to worrying about! For now, more ramen!" He waved to the cook. "Hook us all up with another bowl-- on me!"

Nanami sighed and shook her head furiously.

"Ah, Sayuri, don't listen to superstitious nonsense! You don't die from sneezing!" Nanami quickly said.

Ichiraku Ramen Stand

Sama was still thinking for a moment, and then he leaned back on his stool and started to speak.

"Hmm... I understand what you're saying, Galv, but that's not a problem only you have. Perhaps with your biju, you're quicker to get caught up in your emotions than the rest of us -- but getting too emotional and letting it affect you is part of being human."

Sama nodded. "If you get too angry, it can cloud your judgment and you can do something stupid . . . the same is true for anything! If you're too happy, you can become foolish, or too sad and you'll become depressed. Like I said, you may go into that dangerous territory faster than the rest of us, but your problem is still a universal one. You should embrace your emotions, let them out -- but don't let them control you. If you start to lose control, you have to force yourself to stop. It's not easy, and it's not always possible . . . but you can do it."

He smiled to Galv . . . . and then he leaned back too far and fell off the stool.

Near Hyuuga Residence

Musashi shook his head slowly, thinking about his few brief meetings with Kaoru.

"I'm not sure he's trying to do anything . . . negative. It seems like he's either playing a game with me, or he's trying to help me. I just don't understand what he's talking about."

Musashi sighed, and decided to let it go. He'd figure it out later. Besides...

"What do you mean, 'second-best'? I can still take you down any day of the week." He said with a smirk. Even if they were now best friends, there were some rivalries that will never die.

However, when Hikaru mentioned the village, Musashi nodded.

"I haven't heard much . . . I know my dad's gave really strict orders to keep it quiet until the briefing. Still, I heard a couple of ANBU talking about it . . . sounds serious."

Lavan snickered loudly as Sama fell right over. Well, at least there was someone else he could draw comedy from other than himself, and that in itself was a blessing. It wasn't easy to be the only goof amongst those who turned out to be serious thanks to their profession.

"Well, while I agree that you can try to reign it in... It doesn't always work, Sama. I would know. Fire refuses to be controlled, much like a farmer trying to put a muzzle on a fire-breathing, clawing, lashing dragon. If things get too far, what you NEED Galv is focus. You need to focus on a single image, an image of what you want to happen, what you WANT protected and what you WANT destroyed. And once focused, channel all the emotion you have built into that focus and image. It's... The only way I can describe it, sorry, but it DOES work and it DOES allow you to avoid unnecessary injuries during training, sparring, everyday life and missions. It makes the farmer point some other way where the dragon's enemy is instead of trying to tie it in to control it. That kind of deal usually works out in your favor anyways."

The moment a new bowl of ramen arrived, Lavan stopped paying attention to everything else immediately, and with a loud, echoing yell of "FREE RAMEN!!!" started to devour it with a gusto similar to that of a man who has been starved for a week.

The man laughed again, after both Nanami's and Sayuri's reactions. "Aw c'mon! Don't act so serious, you'll ruin your meal!" He laughed again, scooping up his game of solitare, "I'll tell ya what; how 'bout a little card trick t' lighten the mood. And I think I've got the perfect one, for the three young ladies who are like royalty in this town, and for the young lady prob'ly like royalty out in the Veggie land."

He then began shuffling his cards. "But no fancy eye tricks, please. Makes everythin' more interestin' this way," he soon added, before starting his routine*.

[size0]((*though imagine it being done by a silver-haired guy with that accent, instead of the guy in there, obviously :heh: ))

"Wow!" Sayuri's eyes were wide. She didn't use her Sharingan to ruin the trick, but just enjoyed and was amazed by it.

She was clapping for the silver-haired man when she realized that she'd never seen him before today. She tilted her head and wondered about this, looking very spaced out.

Nanami paused. It was true, she did need to lighten up. She was the type who took most things way too seriously -- and while she had been trying, it was a slow process to change that.

"Card... trick?" Nanami watched, and she was amazed.

Sama, who is not Musashi (XD), nodded to Lavan in agreement.

"Trust me, I know how uncontrollable fire is..." He said, in reference to his tails. Each one had power of a different element, so he'd tried them all out before.

Sama turned back to Galv. "Hungry man's right, though . . . just focus those bad emotions into doing something good!"

The man laughed again. "Y'all will prob'ly enjoy my show later," he said, before quickly changing the subject as the server came out with his own meal.

"Well anyways, how 'bout a memento for our meetin' today," he then said, while shuffling his cards. In the process of shuffling, he flung the Queen of Clubs towards where Maize was. "To the queen of agriculture, a Queen of Clubs."

The next card went to Misaki, "A Queen of Diamonds, for the rich daughter of the Hokage."

Third card was to Nanami, "For the warrior queen with no sense of humor, a Queen of Spades. Watch out when ya play Hearts, there..."

And the last card was to Sayuri, "And for the queen who's probably stolen many hearts herself, the Queen of Hearts... Happy dinin'!"

And with that, the silver haired man returned to his own table, smiling, for his own meal. "Getting used to this guy's persona is really fun..." he said silently to himself, before beginning to eat.

Sayuri took the card and examined it, still looking spaced out.

"Hm... what an unusual character..." She observed, referring to the silver-haired man they'd just encountered. She turned her head until she saw the clocked on the wall of the restaurant. "Oh! We'd better get going for that briefing soon! We don't want to be late!"

Galv stayed quiet, thinking everything over.

“Thank you,” he said simply, “I need to think about this stuff. But either way, I should see Maya, just to make sure the black chakra is gone…

“After all…My Biju was made by taking chakra from many different sources…It’s possible it got absorbed…Also means I should check with the Mouse…”

He nodded to everyone, then headed off to the Konoha Hospital.

-Resturant-

Maize chuckled at the man’s comments, holding the card.

“We don’t have any royalty or anything in the village. We have a Village Leader, and that’s usually kept in the Ize Clan, but that’s because they’ve always been the big protectors,” Maize said, “And I’m not an Ize.”
