Agnihem walked triumphantly as he made his way back to Kirigakure after a successful hunt. This was his eighth hunt this month. "A few more and I'm guaranteed a promotion." he said to himself with a chuckle. As he walked along he noticed someone coming in his direction. It was a man, about 20 years old, wearing a white cape for some reason. Agnihem recognized him almost immediately due to a very long section in his Bingo Book, Kyouki Kikenshi. Agnihem could only imagine his reward if he brought this missing-nin down. He allowed Kyouki to walk past him before he turned around threw a number of shuriken at him. "I have no intentions of fighting you", Kyouki said after dodging the shuriken. "Leave now."
"Sorry but you're a missing-nin, I'm a bounty hunter. The conflict is obvious." Agnihem replied reaching inside his coat. "You understand right, no hard feelings." Agnihem said as he threw a kunai at his target, followed by Fire Release: Dragon Flame Bomb.
Agnihem gazed as he saw Kyouki's eyes turn blue and his skin black. Then, it seemed like his skin fell off, forming a black shield that deflected the kunai and could withstand the Dragon Flame Bomb. Then, the "shield" came back, placing itself back on Kyouki's skin. Kyouki closed his eyes, concentrating. "Panther!" He yelled, as a black panther seal came off of his skin, becoming the size of Kyouki himself when released. The panther ran forward, slashing at Agnihem with his claws.
Before the panther could cut through Agnihem he made the hand signs for Fire Release: Wall of Flame, a breathed a great wall of fire right under the creature.
The panther growled as he was lifted up by the fiery wall, and was "absorbed" back onto Kyouki's skin.
"That was a warning. Leave. Now." Kyouki turned around an continued his path.
"Warning? Never thought I would run into a missing-nin who didn't want to kill me out right." Agnihem said turning around. "I guess you're the freak exception."
Suddenly, Kyouki froze and slowly turned his head. Agnihem gazed. The face that only expressed patience just before, now was filled with hatred. "What...?"
Suddenly, Kyouki was standing behind Agnihem.
"What did you call me." he said, almost whispering, but with words full of anger.
Agnihem smiled as he rubbed his temples, "Everyone has their trigger word." he mumbled as he turned to Kyouki. "I called you the "Freak" exception." Agnihem said staring straight into Kyouki's hate filled eyes. Something about them made Agnihem's blood boil.
"This fight is over." Kyouki said. "Snake!"
A black snake came off of Kyouki's skin and started to envelop Agnihem. "Snake Consuming Seal!"

In the shadow of the outer trees of the nearby forest, two dark figures were watching the fight. The wind blew by, lifting their robes up.
"Should we interfere?"
The other figure came forward, piercing white eyes glowing in the darkness.
"No. Not yet"
The figures became silent again, standing motionless in the shadows as light raindrops began to fall from the sky.
As the snake squeezed Agnihem tighter and tighter some wounds on Agnihem's arms and back from his last mission reopened and blood began to flow from them.
Suddenly multiple lances of blood shot out of Agnihem's arms and back, stabbing into the snake causing it to release him. As the serpent slithered back to Kyouki, he glared at Agnihem who had two blood whips sprouting from his back and a blood sword on each arm.
"You're not the only freak who can pull weapons out of your body, Freak." Agnhem said as the tendrils on his back lanced forward.
Kyouki growled as numerous animals came off his skin. Blue chakra began to envelop him.
"Don't forget that with each weapon I use, I gain more chakra."
"But my body becomes weaker"', Kyouki thought. "If this continues for too long, this will be my last fight"
Agnihem paused for a moment as the chakra radiated around Kyouki. "Seals? I thought this guy was just a walking summoning scroll." He thought as a tendril wrapped around one of the animals and slammed it into the ground.
After he tossed the animal away he looked at his hand. It was slowly turning pale. With a sigh Agnihem retracted one of his blood swords, causing a little color to return to his skin, before charging at Kyouki and his beasts.
Kyouki dodged the attack, ending up behind Agnihem and grabbed two kunai, pointing them at his vulnerable back.
As Kyouki lunged for Agnihem's back, the two blood whips wrapped around his wrists and pulled him in front of Agnihem.
While Kyouki hung by his wrists Agnihem raised his blood sword arm. "Care to surrender?" he asked as his skin paled.
The snake came off of Kyouki's skin and bit Agnihem in his palm, making hem let go of Kyouki. Now, Kyouki was behind Agnihem again.
"Care to die?"
Agnihem smiled as he slowly turned and faced Kyouki, pulling his blood weapons back inside of him, "No, I rather enjoy living." he said as a single drop of blood leaked from the wound on his palm. Then without warning the drop shot off of his palm and froze as it flew toward Kyouki's heart.
Kyouki was able to let the tattoos come off is skin, forming a shield. However, it wasn't strong enough to hold it and the blood flew trhough, causing a bruise. Kyouki looked at Agnihem's wounds in curiosity. "Hmmm... I wonder..."
Suddenly, one of Kyouki's tattoo's slipped in one of Agnihem's wounds. Agnihem screamed.

"What did you do to me?" Agnihem yelled at Kyouki.
