Oto Border

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya watched as Miyo excitedly agreed to try it. "Oooh, that sounds fun!" She spoke so loudly. Kekeya shook his head and turned to Nicholas. "Yeah... a good night's rest would do us all some good... if we can get to sleep with those two up and about." Kekeya signaled to Sachi and Miyoko.

[Nicholas]

"I've already told the others, but there are several rooms further in the cave. They're a bit bare, but they offer privacy and are well lit. As for the night watch, you can leave that to me - I can see in the dark much better than anyone else here, and I've already been resting most of the day."

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya nodded. Being at peak energy would be essential for tomorrow. He turned to Nori. "You should probably get some rest, too. We've both been out most of the day." Kekeya wanted to ask Nori if she wanted to be led to her dwelling, the way being dark, but it was hard to try and talk to her. He eventually got the words out. "Do you... want me to take you there?" Kekeya's pale skin lit up slightly.

[Nori Niigata]

Nori looked up at Kekeya then over toward where they'd have to go in order to get to their rooms. She swallowed at how dark it was, feeling the usual ache of panic in her stomach grow. She swallowed again, this time attempting to push down the fear.

"Yes please," was all that she could muster. Her pale cheeks grew warm as she put her hand on his as they walked toward the darkness. She just needed to be reminded that she wasn't alone, then she'd be fine.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya's blush grew as she took his hand. He was glad he was facing away from everyone. With his blush so big, one could say he probably didn't need to light his other hand as a guide. He slowly led Nori down the dark hallway, illuminating it enough so it wouldn't be bright, but so they could see.

[Sachi Akita]

Sachi hand taken Miyo's hand after she agreed to try something. Sachi did as she normally did and closed her eyes, focusing her chakra to activate her kekkei genkai and she also focused it so that it would cloak Miyo. She felt the familiar tingling that let her know that it was working. She grinned and squeezed Miyo's hand in triumph.

When Kekeya led Nori to the sleeping quarters, Sachi saw a perfect chance. She looked over at Miyo and winked. While holding onto Miyo's hand, the two of them followed after Nori and Kekeya. Sachi began making kissing noises as they followed along.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya shuddered when he heard Sachi's voice, causing him to drop his hand, making the fire go out. He shot a non-lethal blast of flame at where it sounded like their feet were out of anger. He was twitching and making a deep growling noise as the two continued to giggle. He could hear Miyoko exclaim "You're so much fun, Sachi!", between her giggles. As soon as Kekeya realized the light was out, he quickly lit another. "I-I'm sorry!"

[Sachi Akita]

"You should really watch your temper Keys!" Sachi chastized in between giggles as she and Miyoko came back into view. She then grinned at Miyoko, "Thanks Miyo, you're a lot of fun too! Who knew that there would be a fun Sasaki. I was sure all of them were sticks in the mud like Keys!" Sachi said. She gestured at Kekeya with her thumb and winked again at Miyo.

[Nori Niigata]

Hearing the kissing noises from Sachi and the giggles from Sachi and Miyoko caused Nori's pale cheeks to turn a bright pink, but she was thankful for the only slightly lit corridor. However, that thankfullness soon went away when the light went out. Nori's panic level went up and she squeezed Kekeya's hand a little harder. She didn't let go even after he had another light.

"Its okay. I'm sorry about your hand." she said, still holding onto it. "I'm also sorry that you have to deal with Sachi teasing you about me."

[Miyoko Sasaki]

Miyo was still bent over laughing. "The rest of them are! I'm the only one who knows how to have fun!" She stood back up and turned to walk out. Then she cupped her hand over her mouth and whispered to Sachi. "Now I wanna show you what I can do..." She waved her hand, asking Sachi to follow. They were behind a rock, a few meters away from Illidan. She whispered to Sachi again. "Watch. Go say something funny... anything..." Miyo was trying to stifle her giggles.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya blushed like mad. "No, i-it's fine. C'mon, the rooms should be close." Kekeya continued to lead Nori down the hall. He stopped at an empty chamber, still holding Nori's hand. "Here we are. I think these will do, don't you?" Kekeya looked away, absolutely flustered.

[Sachi Akita]

"Okay!" Sachi said happily and skipped out from where she was standing and went to where Illidan was sitting. She grinned mischieviously at Illidan and put her hands behind her back, interlocking her fingers and standing as if she were completely innocent.

"Hey Illy, can I braid your hair?" She asked.

[Miyoko Sasaki]

Miyo watched from behind her hiding place as Sachi did her part. At first, Illidan just shot her a nasty glance. Right when he opened his mouth to say something, Miyo motioned her hand. Illidan bursted out laughing as if something funny was actually said. Everyone, obviously surprised by the sudden outburst, stopped and turned to look at him like he was crazy. Illidan was able to stifle this and put a hand over his mouth. His brows furrowed as he slowly turned his head to behind him. He stood up with a quick, loud growl. He blasted forward at where Miyo was hiding, but Koga was able to grab Illidan by the chain on his chest from behind. It was such a comical scene. Illidan was struggling to go forward, but he was planted where Koga had him. Miyo was cracking up near the back of the room, as was Sachi. Even Kiyo couldn't help but giggle at the situation. Chihiro merely hung her head and sighed.

[Nicholas]

"Cut it out and get some sleep - everyone else is heading off, and I'd rather not have to cover for anyone tomorrow because you two are harrassing everyone else throughout the night." Nicholas said, still not moving or bothering to open his eyes.

[Nori Niigata]

Meanwhile, back in the back of the cave. Nori was still holding onto Kekeya's hand as she looked around at the room that she'd be resting in. The panic was back full force because there wasn't much difference between this room and the room that her Uncle had kept her locked up in for nearly a year.

She could feel her heart start to beat faster, and her breaths came in and out quicker. She closed her eyes and forced herself to take a deep breath. It was not the same room, and even though she was in Oto again, she was not in her Uncle's lair. She was also not locked into a room all alone.
