In Tanzaku

[Tsuki Kyoushu]

Tsuki walked down one of the streets of the small town. It was getting late, and she was hungry. The excitement from the encounter in Taki was still churning through her body. She looked back over her shoulder at Deego who was tailing along.

"Are you hungry?" she called.

[Deego Horutan]

Deego looked up. He was surprised to hear her talking. She was awfully angry earlier, but then again, she's always angry. "I guess. Why, are you?" Deego was obviously bored. There was no excitement, other than the occasional pretty woman walking by, but those were it. Deego was never one to gamble, it was too much of a risk. And all the attractions costed money.

[Tsuki Kyoushu]

"Yes, and I thought I'd even pay for the meal since I'm making you give back the precious money of yours to Ryo." She looked around, "Just pick a place to eat at." Tsuki stated.

She was actually in a good mood, feeling light. Perhaps it was the thought of making Ryo angry. Whatever the reason, she decided that she was going to enjoy it while it lasted. Unless of course, her partner did something to ruin her mood.

[Misuke Yasuno]

Misuke saw the man's pockets bulging, and the weapons he also saw made him fair game in Misuke's eyes. Quickly and effortlessly moving through the crowd despite his small size, Misuke lightly bumped into the man, quickly and deftly slipping his hand into the jacket pocket and taking hold of the small bag before attempting to blend into the crowd.

[Deego Horutan]

Deego twitched. He felt something go inside his jacket, and suddenly, he felt about 11 pounds lighter. What? Oh hell no. "Deego turned and grabbed the kid by the neck and was obviously choking him. He held his hand out to the kid. "HAND... IT... OVER..."

[Misuke Yasuno]

Misuke briefly glanced over, and then grinned as he raised his free hand in mock salute before disappearing in a puff of white smoke along with the pouch of money, leaving Deego holding only a large, bent pipe.

[Deego Horutan]

Deego looked at the pipe. "OH HELL NO!!!" Deego seemed to disappear. He was chasing the boy. He always had a trace on his money. It was HIS MONEY! Deego appeared in front of the boy. "If you don't hand that over, kid or no kid, I will eat you alive."

[Tsuki Kyoushu]

Tsuki lifted her eyebrow and watched the whole thing. A small smile crossed her face as she crossed her arms in a relaxed fashion. It was mildly annoying, but the fact that her partner was bested by a young kid, that was priceless.

[Misuke Yasuno]

Misuke disappeared again into the crowd, and ran into a nearby alley way.

[Deego Horutan]

Deego was able to chase the kid into the alley. He stood there at the entrance. His eyes wide saucers, his mouth basically a staple shape that spread across his face. He walked slowly down the alley way with heavy steps. He threw a boomerang at the kid, but it missed. Or did it? It span around the kid, tieing a rope around him. Deego's lassorang. It wrapped the kid up and bound his hands and feet. He shouldn't be able to move now. "GIVE... IT... BACK..." Deego lifted the kid to face height.

[Yuu Kobayashi]

Jysika had been walking along the streets of Tanzaku as well, deciding to take a rest before she headed to Konoha. Thats when she spotted Tsuki and Deego. She didnt trust them, not from what she had seen of them earlier, so she had decided to keep an eye on them. She saw the boy near her age run into Deego, and apparently do something that she didn't see, but apparently made Deego mad.

She quickly took to the rooftops of the buildings to get a better look at what was going on, determined not to let Deego out of her sight. Thats when she noticed that there seemed to be more than one of the boy. A shadow clone jutsu?

Jysika couldn't help but giggle as she looked around, hoping to spot the original boy. But the giggle stopped as she spotted Deego one more, with one of the boys in what seemed to be some sort of trap.

She stood straight, hoping that it was another clone, and not the actual boy. She quickly looked around once more, hoping to catch a glimpse of the boy.

[Misuke Yasuno]

As the rope appeared to tie around Misuke, the clone faded away, while another clone whisteled behind Deego. Misuke figured that the man wasn't a danger to him, so why not have some fun?

[Deego Horutan]

Deego's eyebrow twitched. "Oh. So THAT'S how it is?!" Deego pulled out a very strange looking object. Was it a boomerang? It looked like it could be, but it had three prongs instead of two. He did multiple, quick handsigns, then released the weapon. "Megarang!" The weapon began flying at the boy. He made a quick turn, but so did the boomerang. It was chasing him! It closed in and struck his head, but it didn't return to Deego. It started flying all over town. It was seeking out the clones. Deego closed his eyes and began counting each clone that puffed away. "... Three... four... five..." They were dropping like flies. The boy was going to be found eventually.

[Misuke Yasuno]

Misuke grinned from the rooftops as he watched the strange weapon - he'd never seen anything like that before. Making a hand sign, Misuke made more clones, illusions this time. The weapon seemed to be homing on everything that looked like him, so as long as the clones couldn't be hit by it he would be fine. Sitting back, Misuke watched as the weapon homed in on a clone, passed through it, and circled back to try and hit it again. Misuke's grin widened.

[Deego Horutan]

Deego was suddenly next to the boy. "That was pretty smart for a little snot. I like my weapons. They were my father's jutsu, though. I didn't know how good you are, so I thought I could be vague on targeting. So I just think I'll adjust to a more specific target. Like blood, along with your now recorded signature." Deego made two handsigns, then the weapon ricochetted off two pots, then a window, than came up and hit the boy in the head.
