The Sharkskin Sword

Deep down inside though he was worried for the safety of his friend and could not bare to see her hurt but on the flip side his little tussle at the bar could bring danger to her in the first place so for her to tag along was perfect. "Tommorow morning we go to the Seven Swordsmen Sancutuary where they all trained." Kurix paused as he looked out the hotel window. "Promise me you will not do anything that will get you harmed." Kurix whispered to himself as he looked into the heavens and dazzled at its ambiance and beauty

The the two Konoha shinobi rested in there one room hotel they waited for morning to bring them nothing less then success in there mission. Dawn fell, both Rina and Kurix were gathering everything that they would need. Uchiha Kurix has placed on his wrist summon seals on his wrist so at anytime he could summon any one weapon that he could need. He also had his ring that allowed him to summon silver dragons equipped to his middle finger on his right hand. All other equipment was kept in a scroll that Rina had brought just in case they needed to pull resources that they could not physically bring into Kiri.

The two from Konoha made there way from the inn to the sanctuary, Kurix turned to Rina and smirked. "Are you ready for whatever lies ahead?" Kurix asked wondering if Rina would hang back. But the determination in her eyes, the passion and the fire that made her who she was would not get her back down. "I am here for you and i will be by your side." Rina said as kissed Kurix on his cheek. Nodding and smiling he lead the way to where the great sword Samehada rested shrouded in mist. "Look there up ahead in the mist..." The Uchiha genin pointed out as he ran towards it.

"Kurix maybe we should analyze that weapon I am picking up a weird presence from it." Rina warned Kurix as she activated her Byakugan. The buffness and arrogance of Kurix increased hsi already bad hearing as he outstretched his hand and grasped its hilt. In an instant barbs forced there way out from the hilt and into the right hand of Kurix. "Dammit!" Kurix forced through his grit teeth as his medical chakra healed his hand. "Who dare tries to draw my weapon?" A deep robust voice echoed from the mist around the blade. "...Is the sword talking to me?" Kurix said confused as the pain in his hand went away due to his attention being pulled towards the voice.

"Kurix it seems that the mist is a great amount of chakra...it seems to be the spirit of the one who wielded the sword first." Rina said using her activated Byakugan to help figure out the mystery of the voice. "Oh oho so it seems the bastard who last had the weapon doesn't want to give it up...well maybe I will just have to let this blade feel what kind of chakra I have." Kurix muttered as he released only a small part of the seal causing his eyes to turn yellow and his hair to grow longer. One of his bat like wings protruded from his left shoulder blade...black tears poured from his eyes and then stained his face giving him the look of an emo.

"Now...feast!" Kurix said in a demonic alteration of his own voice as he reached out and grabbed the blade and started pumping it with his chakra. The barbs that at one point cast the hand of Kurix away now allowed him to hold the blade. The sword even went a step further and turned into a bigger weapon that had a gaping mouth. "...My sword...it seems that you are the heir to this blade...my chakra no longer has a hold of this sword...and because of that it is now yours." The mysterious voice said that was in the mist that had dissipated with Samehada choosing Kurix.
