Wake Up Sleepy Head [Raksaka]

I was laying down on a boulder at the bottom of this supposedly 'great' divide, honestly what made it so great was beyond me since all I knew about was the giant sleeping demon which is the opposite of great if you think about it. The members of my little club had all received some form of message from our leader in the shadows to meet in this glorified canyon for some sort of ritual, something about the time coming and gods rising from the earth, all the typical evil b.s. one is expected to deal with when in the type of crowd I often found myself with. In a rather odd turn of events I was the first one to arrive rather than the dead last, our forces hadn't all been together at the same time in nearly two years and I didn't expect good things since my last memory of Alice was giving her a good firm spanking with a slap as a response along with something about being an unworthy pet. And so it was the the man with the fiery red hair and spades on his shoulder laid down and closed his eyes to ponder the meaning of life while the rest of his fellow bad guys showed up.

The clown was the first to arrive in the bottom of the Divide. I was the second, as I landed on the soft, ashy ground behind his resting point. The air was dank with the stench of burnt death and misery, as it was here where so many were slaughtered at the closure of the First Age. "Hello, Rail. It has been awhile," I greeted my old friend. His cheery spirits had frequently made the days in our dreary organization entertaining, and I enjoyed his company. As I greeted him, I felt my deep voice reverberate against the walls of the canyon, and a few pebbles fell from somewhere above. I wondered when Alice would arrive. "Any word of the others?" I asked calmly as I walked up from behind him.

Alice sat quietly in a recessed ledge just above where Rail and Akuto were talking, she had been quietly sitting in the shadows smiling to herself for the last two days. What was left of her latest pet covered the walls behind her, though none of it had splashed onto her. He had been much too rough, and even insinuated he had seen a prettier girl before coming her pet! How dare he, but his blood sang so sweet as he screamed for us to do it, make his blood dance with the air, so sweet, so sweet oh the blood so sweet. Still smiling Alice slipped from her ledge and landed with barely a whisper, she placed a delicate hand on Rail's shoulder. "Hello precious, i'm glad you two finally decided to join me, i was getting bored."

I walked down the path of the canyon floor calmly as I saw the other known members of my group. I had personally been contacted by our true leader rather than receiving a note so that could instruct me to act as the one to lead this ritual. I approached them now close enough to be seen, a clown a psycho and an equally insane woman though I would never dare tell her that opinion, we were nothing if not elite. "Welcome brothers and sister, it seems I will be the one to lead the day's proceedings. Soon the nine tailed beast of legend will rise for the first stage of our plan. Assuming you dont have any questions we shall begin..." I walked over to the wall and leaned against it with my eyes closed to listen to my fellow Raksaka as well as mentally preparing myself for the coming ritual as it would be rather taxing on both body and mind.

I popped one eye open when the walls shook in he canyon, only one dirty bastard could do something like that so I sat up from my upside down position to see a man that I was surprised to see didn't have a bit of blood dripping from the corners of his mouth. "Hey there you adorable little assassin, you look like you've been having fun. How many points have you managed to rack up in our little game since we last met?" Me and Akuto had not met in several months and had a game involving the number of people we could manage to kill with adults being one point and kids being worth two since it was more fun for him. It was now that I felt a hand on my shoulder and a smile crossed my face. A thin chuckle which turned into a decent laugh boomed from me as I turned to see a woman I had not had the pleasure of being around for quite some time, tracking down these quite well hidden village did after all take a large sum of my valuable time though it'd be considerably less had I honestly been working the whole time rather than more often telling jokes or hosting parties. "Why hello mistress, come back for round two of OUR game?" I then laughed for now as no doubt there would be a slap of some sort from her as he was talking about his advances on her after proving himself to be far to annoying to be a pet to be kept on her leash.

Then the good Reverend Johnny showed up, greeting us like his congregation which caused me to chuckle again as I got up to my feet and looked him over, his words were strange as apparently we were here to wake up some big pussy cat out of story books. With a shrug my reply was probably the most simple and obvious. "Just one thing, we haven't been able to wake up ol fluffy for the last thousand some-odd years so this seems more like an attempt for failure...unless you have discovered something." I cartwheeled over so that I was standing with my face less than an inch away from our acting leader's with one hand in my pocket and the other on the wall of the canyon. "So tell me Johnny boy, how does one wake a sleeping cat without being on the bad end of his claws?" This last line was more serious than the others, ringing with a sense of dark intentions about it. The mood of what I asked was further emphasized by me fully opening my eyes for the first time since I arrived though they quickly fell into a slanted position as I licked my lips. After all a happening like this was rather juicy.

As usual, I was to be the last member to arrive. I wasn't as late as I have been inthe past, but I was still getting use to this. I had first gotten word when I was visiting my old home, Chikagakure. This was also the first time I had seen all of us together in one place. There was however someone who I did not remember. He was standing by Johnny and had just recently done a cartwheel over to stand by him. He, at first look, looked like a clown. "Sorry for the delay, there was some business I had to take care of before hand." I then turned my head towards the clown man."I'm sorry, I don't believe we have met before. I am Thanatos and I am honored to meet yet another member of the Raksaka.

"Now that we are all gathered here together, we need to begin." After addressing the group as a whole, I motioned to huge dark cave near 100 yards in front of me. "You all feel it, yes? That is the resting place of the 9-tails monster." I began walking slowly towards the cave, contemplating my memorization of the proper incantation. As I stood in the entrance of the cave, I prayed that they would remember the words as well. I began focusing chakra into my vocal cords to make my already booming voice near ten times as loud, and activated my Sharingan in order to make sure I would be able to be prepared if things were to go sourly. I looked deep into the back of the cave, and began.

"Rise, savior of the damned, lord of chaos. Return to your faithful servants, your loyal Raksaka. We live to serve, and we serve to destroy. Now come again to lead us into the world of anarchy, for only with you can we rule our world. You are our god. We live to serve, and we serve to destroy."
