Roronora wasn't pulling any punches and expected none in return if his fight with Shiva had taught him anything was that he sucked at long range fights, which was a given, but that fight had driven it home for him. He felt the attack drill into her and send her flying. He wanted to keep the momentum going. He landed next to Kage who looked at the wall rising ahead of them. They stayed where they were not wanting to rush headlong into a trap. Sure enough she came above the wall running at them. He waited until she was a few yards away and activated his Earth Flow River technique to throw her off balance and followed it with a Leaf Whirlwind. Hoping to make her yeild. Kage kept his senses sharp from the Battle with Shiva he knew the Ryuujis could be tricky, and he would not be caught off guard again.

Maria's would charge at the duo drawing both of her katanas now. She would notice him flash handsigns for a technique but when she realized which one it was it was too late. She would lose her footing and then a well placed kick sent her flying crashing into the mud wall poofing as a pile of rocks then dropped to the ground. Then the real Maria would emerge from the ground leaping into the air and spinning as she imbued fire chakra into her blades launched two flaming arcs towards his wolf wanting to force him to retreat as she used her Fire Release Cloud Style Flame Slash technique and then landing on the ground using body flicker would disappear and reappear in front of Roronora a blade against his throat and the other against the back of his neck as if to cleave his head off. "You're finished I have won. I commend your efforts though you are quite skilled after all and deserving of my sister's hand in marriage." Should her attacks have been stopped by previously then she would be left highly vulnerable in the air with only earth spear activated to protect herself to lessen the damage dealt some.

Roronora watched the girl fly into the stone wall and turn into a pile of rocks. Tricky isn't she? He thought to himself. Kage watched as she emerged from the ground and shot fire at him. He dodged back away from the flames. So she wanted him to cut him from the pack that's fine he was well versed in fighting by himself. he could smell her line of attack and raced through the fire receiving a few burns but his thick fur kept him from serious damage. Roronora felt the blades against his throat."It would seem so Maria, but I think Kage would have a little something to say about that." Kage stood a few feet away to Roronora's side growling. "Thanks for the compliment though." He said smiling taking off his claws.

It would seem her strategy for the most part had worked. She had seperated the two again and taken Roronora prisoner. Hearing his comment though she then heard growling and looked to see Kage there at his side ready to strike should she go through with her beheading which she didn't intend to do it was just to get both to surrender. In all the buzz she had focused solely on this moment and dropped her earth spear technique too early. "I suppose I shall yield then. The victory is yours this time." Maria would say withdrawing her blades quickly without cutting him. In a blink of an eye she had sheathed both again her arms falling to her side now as she smirked. She may have lost but it was only a friendly fight and she had given it her all so she couldn't complain.
"Your soul's sword is sharp and fine. You would make a great samurai if given the chance." Course she meant figuratively his soul was a sword since he did not possess one in reality. She possessed two and took great care in keeping them sharp and well refined. Still that was only part of what it meant to be a samurai. One had to hone their skills continuously even if they had mastered them keeping them strong empowering their will. The final step was knowing when and when not to take a life. "Did I pass your test then?" She would look to Roronora now hands on her hips now. She would not assume she had until he said so. Until then she would keep a strong mind and accept whatever the outcome that was to be.
[OOC: right if you was wanting to soon can drag Shiva in at some point.]

Roronora laughed it always made him happy to see his wolves had his back. "Don't sweat it." He walked to the compound to grab a couple of sake bottles out the fridge. He tossed one to Maria. He nodded. "Yeah I guess I could, but it's not for me, but I appreciate the compliment all the same." It was remarkable the similarity, and differences between the two like seeing your reverse in the mirror. "Trust me. Couldn't fail you if I wanted to." Shiva should be back soon with my partner ken, so kick back with a drink for awhile." Roronora leaned against a banister and took a sip from the sake bottle. (Sure you can bring her in.)

Maria would simply nod proceeding to follow behind Roronora and Kage as they headed inside the compound now. She was with curious glances from mostly children and a few adults as well. She just hoped they weren't getting the wrong impression about the two's arrival and being together as they were. They soon arrived at a kitchen and she was tossed a bottle of sake which she caught with ease. She would pour some into a little saucer as she listened to the man reply to her comment now. "Well nonetheless I admire your great strength and skills of teamwork with your wolf." Maria would reply before downing the shot of sake coughing slightly before pouring another. She drank on occasion but not heavily as some people probably did getting wasted in the process. "Well that's good and I imagine that isn't hard if you can impress my older sister. She just has this effect on people she meets making them better people in the process. I'm sure she's effected you in some way as well." Maria would say with a smile before downing her new shot of sake. She then set the bottle down rubbing the back of her neck a little bit now. "I'm a little scared to meet her again after so long to be honest. We didn't exactly part on great terms when I ran away." More like she'd said she hated her with every fiber of her being and wished she was dead instead of Silvia. She knew Shiva had probably forgiven her already but she still wished she could take it all back. In the end though it had led her to a greater path making her a better person in the process. How would Shiva take her return she wondered as she poured another shot quickly downing it afterwards the anticipation was killing her.

Roronora looked at Kage when she noted on their teamwork. "Wasn't always like that trust me he was a stubborn one when I first started to train him." Kage had been resistant to even house training, but within a few months he'd gained his trust and now they were inseperable. "Shiva's taken up a Ninken of her own, if you'd like to see her." Affected him she'd transfigured him into something greater than before. "Yeah she has, but I'm sure you've had the same affect on the people you've met." Roronora knew the feeling it's how he felt whenever he came to see his mother after a mission never knowing what mood she'd been in, but he suffered through it knowing somewhere inside she appreciated it. "Don't worry Shiva will be happy to see you. I just know, besides between the two of us she needs a female confidant, and who better than her sister?" He said gving her a reassuring smile.

"I can imagine that so I don't doubt you. I wasn't exactly a star pupil in the beginning with sensei Washi." She had been about as stubborn as a mule to be honest. She failed to get the meaning behind his lessons even simply tasks like cleaning her sword. He'd nearly kicked her out until he found her aiding another student in such tasks with care and dedication. She had made a complete turn around then and took to her training and studies quite seriously then. She'd passed as one of his greatest students in the end. "Did she now? Doesn't surprise me she always loved animals growing up." Especially dogs if she remembered right. She herself had preferred bunnies now though she'd probably prefer a dog as well. "I suppose so." She'd never met those people she helped before again so it was hard to say what kind of impression she had made on them. Growing up Silvia had been the one to leave a great impression on her. She had been her idol her everything and she'd been left devastated with her passing. She no longer blamed Shiva and just wanted her forgiveness now. "That is a relief then and may I ask for what exactly?" She could only wonder what her sister needed another female opinion for. Nonetheless she would do her best to help her out. She was about to inquire where they might find Shiva's ninken when she felt something brush her leg and looked down to find Silvia there. Silvia would then bark at Roronora and take off running outside again.

Shiva had been walking along with Ken headed for the kennels now. She'd finished up her little training session after doing a little shopping and various other odd little tasks. She was surprised when Ken joined in at end for a little fun with her. Now that she was done she figured she would go grab Silvia for a walk and let her explore some more. She could only wonder what Roronora was doing right now most likely still training. He had taken only Kage this time as Ken seemed more keen on keeping an eye on her as usual. "Your such a great friend Ken. I know I can always count on you for almost anything." She would say with a smile on her face now. Soon the kennels came in site and Shiva would let herself in the gate after letting Ken in as well. Then she headed inside and collected Silvia leading her outside to the gate with ken before pulling out a piece of cloth with Roronora's scent on it kneeling down to Silvia's level now.
"Let's do a little training Silvia. Let's see if you can find momma's master." Silvia would simply blink at her for a few seconds then. Then curiosity got the best of her and stuck her nose into the cloth sniffing it intensely now. "Good girl. Now let's go find daddy." Silvia would then bark and take off running leaving Shiva and Ken behind. She had picked up his scent nearby completely ignoring the other with him. Shiva would simply smile sheepishly jogging after her now with Ken following. Silvia would round a few corners and then running inside brushed past a woman before stopping before Roronora. Then she'd bark at him before turning tail and running out to find Shiva and Ken expecting the man and Kage to follow her back to her. She hadn't gotten far from Roronora when Shiva came into sight with Ken rounding a corner now.

He didn't know enough about Maria to say anything useful about her beginnings, but he was sure she was a handful. "Did she now?" That was a new one on him, but he could guess dogs had always been his favorite animals. "That's good if she liked cats that might have been a problem." Roronora disliked cats greatly, and was a little uncomfortable around them." He could tell that Maria wasn't a person to open up easily, and that was cool he didn't mind. "Yeah I'm sure if you met those people they would have achieved better things because of you." Roronora wasn't sure what bothered Shiva sometimes, but he knew she needed another woman to talk to about it, but before he could tell her what he did now Silvia approached him. "Well hello little one what are you doing out?" He said getting up to try and catch Silvia before she got lost, but he caught the sent of Shiva and Ken. "Well here comes you're sister Maria how about you surprise her." He said making way for Maria to give Shiva a shock.

"She loved dogs if I remember right. Believe it or not I was a bunny kind of girl." A handful hardly she'd been spoiled and pampered by her mother up until she had decided to become a kunoichi like Silvia. At that point she was treated just like Shiva and Silvia was strict and with great discipline. She had been hard on them but in the end it had been worth it had distilled great character and pride into Marianisa though still she had lacked a few necessary qualities to make her a truly better kunoichi. "There was this one young man I helped. Bandits had been harassing his father for years stealing from him. I taught him to fight back and after a few months he drove them out of their village for good." She had felt pretty good after that. She had truly helped someone out selflessly and there was no greater feeling than that. Of course she had been offered a reward but she had refused it feeling his success was reward enough for her in the end.
"What was that all about?" Marianisa would ask a bit confused by the white wolf pup's sudden arrival and barking. Before the man could catch her she was off out the door again. Then Roronora mentioned Shiva was near and she stopped placing a hand on her chest now. So the moment had come finally at last it was now or never. She would nod to Roronora and then taking a deep breath stepped outside to see Silvia barking at her sister and the wolf with her. "Shiva...please forgive me for everything." She would say aloud as their eyes met her sister having stopped in her tracks now. She still looked the same as she had back then and recognized those markings as her clan markings. Maria would have gotten the same ones albeit a purple color but she had run away before she had become a jounin denying her the right to bear them. She expected her sister to slap her or make some snidy comment about her return only to have the woman embrace her in a warm hug feelings her shake a little as something wet fell on her neck now. She would smile and return the hug resisting the urge to cry as well now.

It wasn't long before Silvia turned to Shiva and Ken barking happily. "You were supposed to bring them back silly. You tried though." She looked to Ken smiling sheepishly now. She was about to ask her to find Roronora instead when she saw a woman appear. She felt her body stop moving altogether aside from her heart beating. There stood her sister Marianisa of all people who seemed frozen in place as well now. Silvia would bark happily at Shiva now hoping she had done good work which masked Maria's apology to her muffling it out mostly. She had almost not recognized her sister due to her hair color. It had been silver once too like hers and Silvia's hair color was. It seemed after running away she had changed to differeniate herself from her sisters. She'd grown so much since she'd been gone she almost felt like a stranger to her. Finally Shiva would move to greet her sister pulling her into a deep embrace now burying her face into her neck as she began to cry now feeling Marianisa return the hug now.
"I missed you so much Maria. I'm so glad you came back at last and I hope you will stay. I don't blame you for running away as you did losing Silvia was hard on us all." Shiva would finally speak up as she released Maria now wiping her eyes a little now trying to smile the best she could. News of Silvia's death had hit her hard too. She and Maria both had waited for days for her supposed return. Then Silvia's boyfriend who had fought alongside her came and told them. Her mother of course had immediately broken down which led to Maria breaking down understanding what it all meant. Shiva had been in disbelief for days before finally letting it all sink in and breaking down herself. Then the funeral was held and as she tried to console Maria she lashed out screaming she wished she was dead instead and then she was gone. "This little pup is Silvia and this is her mother Ken. I see you met my fiancee and his other partner Kage." Her fiancee standing off to the side hadn't escaped her sight earlier as she moved to greet him with a kiss now.

“Bunnies hunh?” He said thinking about the small white creatures he had chased alongside Kage and Ken. “So tough on the outside, but soft on the inside just like Shiva.” He said sipping his sake. “Well I’m sure he thinks about you every day.” If her helping him didn’t make her dominate his thoughts then her figure surely would. He thought to himself. He watched the young white pup run back to her mistress. “Oh something grand I’m sure.” He said cryptically watching her leave out to greet her sister. He sat back to watch the reunion it was grand to be sure. “What do you think about that my friend?” He said to Kage and rubbed his head. He noticed Shiva approach him, and give him a kiss. “Nice to see you too babe, I hoped you enjoyed the surprise.” He looked to Maria. “Told you she’d like it.”

Looking at her now she was sure it was hard to believe she had a softer side. As a little girl she'd always dreamed of being a shinobi princess. One the whole world revered and admired above all other women in the world. Her favorite pet had been a snow white bunny named Spade and she would take him everywhere. Then one day he got out and a dog had gotten him. She had never been so heartbroken Shiva had then gone out and got her two bunnies to cheer her up. Those had been the days when she and Shiva had been really close to each other when Silvia had still been alive. In the end she had only ran away because she was jealous of Shiva that Silvia had passed on her will to her instead of Maria and broken her promise. What was done was done though and she could never change that but she could well make up for it starting now and that was being here for her sister and her cause to make the world a better place.
She would simply smile and nod at Roronora's comment after Shiva released her to greet him. Then she looked to the white wolf pup apparently named after her eldest sister nuzzling up against what she assumed was her mother Ken. "A fitting name for her. Silvia would be happy looking down on us all." If the man thought her and Shiva were beautiful Silvia surely would have knocked him dead on the spot. She had matured earlier than most girls and had many suitors lined up to date her. She of course had turned them down to focus on her career for as long as possible but eventually a man had managed to snag her heart. Thinking of him she could remember how broken he looked. Dreams of a wedding and children crushed she had never seen him after that day again. "Must be nice to feel loved by someone else." She would mutter to herself now.

"I certainly did my love it was nice. My life feels complete now thanks to you." She would reply wrapping her arms around burying her face into his neck now. She felt like crying more it was all just so overwhelming to her. Soon she would be marrying this man to become his wife and soon mother of his child. Now Marianisa was back in her life here to stay for good. It would be nice for their child to have an Aunt and someone to spend time with when the two newlyweds needed some alone time. She'd hate to ask Maria to do that knowing it might be for that reason or simply for a much needed date night but she knew Marianisa would probably insist they should and that she could handle it. She would raise her head now looking to her sister. "I thought you might like it Maria. A tribute to a woman and sister who shaped and defined our lives." Having a partner like Silvia would certainly reshape and redefine Shiva's life moreso in aspects of battle. The two would become a team always looking out for each other's backs.
"Maybe one of these days you could adopt a pup like Silvia too Maria. You'd be family so I'm sure Roronora could work something out if you ever wanted to." She would say moving to stand by Roronora hands clasped together over her stomach. She would smile thinking of how Silvia made her so happy having a pup like her around. Such happiness she wanted to share with Maria hoping someday she found happiness like she had. It might be nice to have some nieces or nephews to play with her own kids. "Later I'd like to discuss something with you Maria. A mission of sorts only you can handle." She would say with a coy smile giving Roronora a knowing look now. She'd informed him about the new Kumo commander and felt he might be a good match for her sister to get her to open up more since she seemed a little reclusive and uptight upon first impressions.
