Predator and Prey....or is it the other way around

*Tendrils of sand grabbed the blood tendrils and with a strong jerk Shukaku flew through the blood sheild thanks to the tendrils(Shukaku detached his tendrils as he propelled himself)and his claw was barely a foot away from Jira's face.

Jira smirked as suddenly what looked like him melting again allowing him to get away from the evil thing as well as allowing a counter attack as blood formed around Jira and a quite large globe of blood was let go from Jira he smirked knowing he shouldn't use those tendrils again.

*as shukaku was in the air he breathed in deeply*
"wind element:compressed air ball!!"the tanuki demon spirit yelled as he punched his now air filled stomack and shot out blast of wind fused with his chakra.


(wind element:compressed air ball= http://youtube.com/watch?v=NIrRP_JLyLw its the big blast...just iomagine a smaller toned down version since he is...well smaller at the moment )

Jira looked up as they met causing rain to fall down on him and not the beast...he grunted in annoyance. "Annoying...dont think I dont have other methods to make rain." he said as suddenly he focused knowing some might think he was defenseless here but up above a cloud of blood was beggining to form Jira still stood on his pillar of blood that reformed since his last hit as he smirked and looked up at him.

*Shukaku shot another air ball at Jira.Shukaku then smashed the ground on both side of him and suddenly a forest of sanmd spikes rose up from the ground thus hiding shukaku while it also being an attack.

Jira sighed as suddenly all around rose blood so he would be safe from the attack he did store it under the ground after all so he could use it at both vantage points air and ground he watched as his blood came from the ground looking for the creature eventually they or the rain would find it...Jira saw the airball coming and sighed forming a smaller globe but as it hit the air ball it grew and consumed it and then dissapeared because of the two forces hitting eachother.

*shukaku merged with the Sand unbeknownst to Jira of course.From all of the spikes dozens of dozens of sand blades were launched*

blood came around Jira and blocked them...he still hadn't found him...but the rain kept going infact the rain began to feel more like spikes then rain...Jira could not become one with blood but he had a knack to live a lot longer even if he was hit by one of the spikes his acidic blood would melt it before it hit anything to strong...wait that was it! Jira pulled out a small dagger and stabbed his own hand! causing droplets of acidic blood to fall he splayed it so that it would land on various parts of the spikes so that those would not be able to be used and it would create more territory for Jira who had no clue he was hiding inside of the sand.

*Shukaku appeared from out of one of the blades that Jira had blocked and now was behind Jira and with this huge opening he shot three air balls*

Jira smirked as his body switched positions and he countered two of the air balls with his globes the third one he only barely dodged by creating another pillar and then wings he knew he could no longer take him as lightly as he once did ...
