Chapter 2

In the valley of Raven souls, hoofs of horses could be heard rushing down towards the village below. It was the Lord Prince and Lord Kakashi with more than a dozen men. Rumor has it that the village, Ling YU which is known for its mysterious weather, it was always cold in the morning and terribly hot at night was the birthplace of the Lord of yin and yang. And it was here the Raven army was headed.

The villagers, men, women, children, young and old came out of their homes as they heard the approach of the army. On their minds they wondered what the Lord Royalties could possibly want with the poor, miserable village.

The army reached and three people got down from their horses and headed for a nearby inn. As the figures disappeared behind the doors of the inn, the still curious villagers lingered around to maybe find out what was going on.

Kakashi's Pov:

As we entered the inn, the Lord Prince, the Lord General and I, the villagers gathered round, probably wondering what we were doing here. If they were any smarter, they might want to keep away. We do not know if this trip will have a positive outcome and no one knows how the Lord Prince will react if it goes otherwise.

Damn that Orichimaru, this is all because of him. He just had to place his stupid curse mark on the Lord Prince. But, this seems fishy, how was he able to get close enough to the Lord Prince to place the curse. Or maybe he let him get close. It is not improbable that it was what happened. But what can the Lord Prince possibly gain from the Rogue lord? He seems awfully calm for someone who is dying. Did he know that the search for the cure would lead us here? No! There is nothing this pathetic village could offer the Lord Prince. Or maybe, he's after The Lord yin and yang. Yes! That must be it. He must want passage through the labyrinth of opposites. But why? What could he and Orichimaru possibly want from going to that disgusting peaceful land of the Fox Lords? Staying in so much goodness could kill a Lord Supreme but if the light was to be turned dark enough, the power would be unimaginable. Pure dark magic, more powerful than beginning magic. Is that their plan?

"What can I get you for?" The bartender asked the Lord Prince, Lord General Karin and I snapping me out of my thoughts.

"We want to know about the Lord Yin and yang." The Lord General said to the bartender and color drained from his face as his speech came out in stutters

"I...I, I, I...I don't know anything about a Lord that goes by such name." Wow, this idiot was even worse than me in lying.

"Oh really?" Of course the Lord General was not buying it. This won't take long to get bad.

"But the Rumors say differently. The Lord was said to have been born in this very pathetic town and it is said that the villagers do well to hide him from the world as they consider him their sort of savior or something. So, either we were wrongly informed or, you are lying." By now, the poor bartender was trying to wiggle free from the grasps of the Lord General as she tried to choke the living hell out of him.

This was a bad idea, we shouldn't drew this much attention to ourselves. This may be a sorry excuse for a Raven town but it has still been able to hide one of the most powerful lords of all time from the world. But it is better to play it on the safe side than to be on the receiving end of the stick, in this case the sword of the Lord General.

"That's enough! He says he doesn't know." We all turned to the figure dressed in grey cloak with his piercing eyes boring into the lord General. What does this fool think he's doing?

"It's not very ladylike to choke a man. If he says he doesn't know, than you should let him go." What is this guy? A jester or something?

I look closely at the grey cloaked figure, he sure looked well built. Maybe he is a Rogue Lord or something that's hiding out in the village or maybe, he is just another fool, who doesn't know who he's dealing with.

I watched the Lord General, awaiting her reaction; the Lord Prince has not made a move till now. She smirked and tightened her grip upon the poor fellows' neck.

"Not very ladylike? Huh! I bet you would want to teach me how to be all ladylike and all that. Starting now after I let him go, he's not worth it any way." Wait! She's really letting him go? Why do I not feel relieved by her statement though?

She released her grip on the barman and made to drop him on the floor, suddenly as the other hand cupped his face in a weird gesture, she quickly snapped the neck in a flash removing it from its joint and we watched as the body dropped onto the floor.

"Whoops! I guess I don't have a very ladylike grip. My bad! You have to teach me that too." The crazy Lord was smiling at the horror stricken figure, daring him to make a move. I sighed; this was just typical of Raven Lords, especially those serving under the Lord Royals.

The Grey figure gritted his teeth and then slowly removed the cloak to reveal where he wielded a huge axe. This was going to end bloody and not the good kind. We don't have time for this. The Lord Prince needs to do something.

I turn to look at him and he was just sitting drinking a glass of something I didn't know where he got from. Of course I forgot, the darkest Raven lord, he must be glad at the prospect of spilling blood. What a monster!

"I guess I really have to teach you how to act more like a lady then." The still unnamed figure said to the Lord General as he withdrew his axe but before he could finish his sentence, a hard kick found its way to his jaw, knocking him through tables and chairs and right outside the door of the inn.

Shrieks were heard as the villagers scattered and the Lord General proceeded outside to take on her newly found opponent, or victim.

Sasuke's Pov:

I should just kill all this fools and get on with finding this Lord yin and yang. I let out a sigh as I finally make my way out the doors of this pathetic inn. As I exit, I look up to the sky to see a bunch of Ravens hovering over the sky; they must have sensed the blood too.

I lower my gaze from the sky and look towards a fighting haphazard before me. My men and the Lord General were in a miserable state. This must be the work of the rogue lord. I sensed he was strong but not this strong. Lord Kakashi was talking to the Rogue lord as I slowly advanced towards them.
