Crap... I'm in coma

[Nori Niigata]

Nori stopped right inside the door when she heard Kekeya say that he was planning on going for his next mission. Seeing Karatsu had last month had been enough to bring back the memories of the darkness that her uncle had brought upon her, and now her friend who wasn't even completely healed from that battle was intending to go face a monster even worse than the one that nearly killed him?

Nori felt her hands tighten into fists as the image of Orochimaru entered her thoughts, and the sound of his chuckle as well as the way he hissed her name. She couldn't believe that she had fallen for his lies about family ties when they had first met.

[Sachi Akita]

"We're going to the Sound Village? Count me in, its been a while since I've seen Oro and 4 eyes." Sachi said, from behind Nori.

She jumped up onto the window sill and sat down, bringing one of her knees up to rest her chin on. She began swinging the other foot back and forth, forever needing to stay moving in one form or another.

"Who all are you planning on asking for this mission of yours Keys?" she asked.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya looked at Sachi. "You can come. We'll need all the help we can get. I understand if you don't want to come, Nori." Kekeya turned back to Kurakuren. "We can't go straight to Oto. We need more help than the local shinobi. You probably know what I'm getting at, right?" Kurakuren looked back, seriously. "We need the other Sasaki?" Kekeya nodded. "It's gonna be a long journey. Probably another month in itself before heading out to Oto. We won't leave until all who wish to come are ready. Sachi, you know alot of people. You should see if anyone else wants to participate." Kekeya was dead serious about this, but his intentions were to remain unknown. He and Kurakuren had known each other longer than either of them had been in Konoha, and that monster had taken something... someone, from both of them. It had been long enough. Not only had their friend been imprisoned for long enough, but if the Akatsuki ever posed another threat, they would need their friend's help. Kurakuren and Kekeya are one of the fiercest teams in Konoha, but no one could match the old trio. There had been many stories spread about the great team, but none knew it was these three. A power unmatched. But with the second of the trio held captive, they would need more than themselves to save her.

[Kurakuren Shima]

"Alright then, Kekeya I know you're my higher up and all but can I lead this mission?" Kurakuren said seriously. "I think, I can show lead everyone correctly I have traveled the whole world before... Anyone opposes..." Kurakuren said lastly, trying to see if anyone would oppose him, nobody did. "Alright it's all settled, we will leave by tomorrow at 6:00 am, so get good sleep..." He said looking at everyone. "He Kokugen come over here" Kurakuren said. Kurakuren put his hand on Kekeya and on Kokugen then... Kokugen once again began to look older and Kekeya seemed to have renew strength. "How do you feel..." He looked at Kekeya and then turned to Kokugen, "Sorry Man" He said. Kokugen looked at him with a little of resentment but he knew he was the only one that could of done this task. "S'okay" Kokugen replied.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya dropped his crutches to the floor and had a slightly suprised look on his face. "Since when could you... never mind. But Kurakuren, we will need you to lead us, but our priority is finding the Sasaki first. I have a feeling where we can find them, so I will need you to take us where ever I say, and to the exact mark. Can you handle that?" Kekeya had a confident smile, knowing Kurakuren's answer, but it was gone quickly when Kekeya turned to face the door. "6:00 a.m. We will meet at the front gate. I'll be sure to do what I can until then." Kekeya walked out the door, past the frozen Nori, but stopped to look in her eyes. "Oh. Pardon me." Kekeya looked away shyly as he walked past. It was hard for him to come in contact, even verbal or eye contact with any girl.

[Nori Niigata]

Nori blinked and watched Kekeya walk by.

"I'm going. You all will need a medical nin to go along with you, and there's no way that I can sit here when my friends could be in danger. Besides, I can't keep running from Uncle can I?" Nori asked. With that said, she excused herself to prepare herself for the journey, but also to gain the courage to stick to her word.

[Sachi Akita]

Sachi jumped up from her seat on the window sill and yawned in a bored fashion.

"Welp, I'm hungry. What about you Ren, Koko? Either of you hungry?" She asked. She shrugged slightly and walked toward the door.

"I'll see what I can do about gathering a few more people for this covert mission by the way. See you then boss," After giving a mock salute she skipped out the door.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya stopped and watched Nori add her name. He honestly never thought she would want to go, but for some reason, there was a part of him that was slightly glad to know she was coming. He didn't know why, he just was. But then again, he worried about her safety. This was going to be dangerous. "Are you sure you want to come, Nori?"

[Nori Niigata]

Nori stopped on her way to the exit and smiled slightly at Kekeya, attempting to appear braver than she really felt.

"I'm sure. The group needs me, and I'm not going to stay behind when my friends need me. Besides, even though you and Kurakuren appear to be fine, it would be better to have someone there to keep an eye on the both of you. That'll be my job." She said quietly.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya softened his eyes on her, then looked at the door. "It's up to you..." It was the last thing he said before leaving. His stomach was growling as he left. He hadn't eaten since he was taken to the hospital. It was strictly IV, but now that he was fine, he figured he could eat. He was going to get a good fill on his favorite ramen before leaving for who knows how long. What if he didn't return? He knew that anything was a possibility. He might as well spend a good amount of money, just in case...

[Kurakuren Shima]

"Alright then..." Kurakuren walked towards Nori smiled for the first time since the mission was given and said, "Thanks Nori I know it's hard for you... Thanks Alot" He said that while heading out the door. Following him where Kokugen, and Kurohi.
