Takigakure's Border

[Tsuki Kyoushu]

Tsuki didn't bother turning around, or slowing down. She continued walking. "If you're coming lover boy, you're going to have to catch up. Whats wrong, the pretty girl didn't feel like playing?" She called over her shoulder.

[Akemi Yamagata]

Akemi looked at Nicholas for a few moments, noticing that he seemed tense. She put her hand on his shoulder very lightly. True, finding out that her brother had went as far as putting a bounty on her did bother her, but she didn't want it to put more stress on the team, especially when they had other things to worry about.

"Nicholas. We should be heading on to the next part of the mission.." She said quietly, studying him.

[Kiyoshi Sasaki]

Kiyo moved his goggles to his forehead. "These are my forehead protector. And it comes in more handy than some boring, plain ol' headband, no?"

[Nicholas]

Nicholas continued looking down the road the would - be assassins had gone, waiting until one of his shadow clones confirmed they were gone before cancelling the jutsu with a thought.
"Yeah."

[Sachi Akita]

Sachi thought about it a moment, then quickly moved her head protector to cover her eyes. She giggled. "Okay, you have a point, atleast you can see out of those!" She said. She pushed her headband back in place and then tapped his goggles again. "Hm, maybe I should get a pair!"

[Yuu Kobayashi]

Jysika stood up and dusted herself off. She picked up her pack and squared her shoulders. She was not looking forward to the walk back to the village, nor facing her father and explaining why she was home instead of continuing on the mission. However, she refused to let anyone else see how worried she was at how her father would react. So instead she smiled.

"Well guys, this is where we part." She grinned at Kiyoshi, "Sachi's right, those are some awesome goggles btw." She said. After a quick wave toward everyone else, she said bye to Akemi and Nicholas and headed in the direction that the two bounty hunters had taken not that long before.

[Kiyoshi Sasaki]

Kiyo tapped his goggles, too. "Well, yeah. I can see through them, but i also wouldn't want to get some sorta machine goo or sparks in my eyes, so thats why i turned them into goggles. I tinker with alot of stuff, you see." Kiyo took his goggles and wiped them with a rag in his pocket, then put them back on.

[Kurakuren Shima]

Kurakuren had fallen asleep when Tsuki and Deego had come so he didn't know what the heck was happening. He climbed out of the tunnel look at the other people who where kind of tense and said, "Um... Hi, What's going on?"

[Sachi Akita]

"Ren!" Sachi yelled, she basically disappeared and a few seconds later reappeared beside Kurakuren. She put her arm through his and smiled at him with her brightest smile.

"Well, you see.. there were these two people here. Apparently one of them.. a very pretty girl, you would have thought she was really pretty.. use to be an assassin like Akemi, but left her clan too. Only, she's a bounty hunter now. Her and her really nice and silly partner were hired to kill Akemi. Apparently Akemi has a really mean brother. But they left, and now you're caught up!" Sachi said with a final nod. She hadn't taken a breath through the whole explaination and was still not winded.

She shifted her weight to one foot, "Soo... shall we go? I'm ready to get moving! Whats next boss?" She asked, looking at Kekeya and Kurakuren.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya looked at where the two had left. "I think you guys should go ahead. We can't risk another attack. The rest of the team should go on ahead. Me and Kiyo will gather the Sasaki. It will be safer that way. Nicholas, I already explained my plan to you, fill them in."

[Nori Niigata]

Nori cleared her throat slightly, "Kekeya, I.. I think that maybe I should go along with you and Kiyoshi. Since you'll be doing the most travelling, the odds are that you may need a medical nin more than the other teams. Besides, Akemi is skilled in some medical jutsu, so she can handle the injuries that they may take." Nori said. She bit her lip after she offered to go along with him, nervously waiting for his reply.

[Kurakuren Shima]

"Hm... Kekeya, there is a problem..." Kurakuren said in a doubtful tone. "I think It's best to at least send more people with you guys," Kurakuren said. "Akemi, please go with them," Kurakuren said lastly.

[Nicholas]

"With all due respect, Shima, I'm not even part of your mission. I'll help out when I can, but I'm only here to keep and eye on you. Nori's right, and I'd rather have a competent medic with us in case something does happen. Best I'd be able to do is stop external bleeding if anyone got injured."

[Kurakuren Shima]

"Hm.... Then Kekeya, Nori is going with whether you like or not," Kurakuren said. "Now, we are going to arrange a place to meet before heading out to Oto," Kurakuren said thinking every possible place there was. "How about Kumo," He said looking for Kekeya too answer.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya looked at everyone. Would it be safe for Nori to go? And even if it wasn't, how could he argue against so many people? He looked to Kiyo, who only shrugged. Kekeya scowled at him, and finally agreed. "Fine. You may come Nori. Just be careful."
