 Shuniji blinked. Once. Twice.
"So that guy really WAS Cao!!"
He excitedly raised his fists to his chest while his grin sparkled, but stood up straight almost immediately after his outburst. It was almost unnerving how violently his moods swung when he was "putting on a show."
He rubbed the back of his head while trying to untangle what were quickly becoming icy dreadlocks.
"Eh... I'm not sure if killed is the right word, per say... But yeah, we were the last ones to see 'em. Meh--for all I know, they'll be up and around next Tuesday. Probably not, but you never really know with Sound Village."
He shrugged. Shuniji seemed pleasant enough to deal with--way more so than if he'd been purposefully trying to be obstinate. No, truth be told, he was rather annoyed by this Tatsuya kid's presumptuous attitude, but the kind of people who asked authoritative questions like that, Shuniji learned, were not to be outright lied to.
...That didn't mean Shuniji couldn't be vague and kind of creepy while complying, however.

Upon hearing Shuniji's reply, Seika turned her full attention over to her partner, and gave him a deadpanned stare that could barley even describe the amount of stupidity she heard from his first statement.
"Moron." She hissed and practically face-palmed. The way Shuniji acted...he seemed so believable, even Seika couldn't tell if Shuniji really knew if that massive lard of a tailed beast was Cao. She knew that Shuniji wasn't stupid, so he was probably just putting on a show. Still though.. Seika was just saying what everybody else was thinking.

 TATSUYA MIYAKI Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen. GPS : Back in "Civilization"
Mood : It's true... It's true.... It's true...... gonk

Tatsuya kept the same face during the entire situation, the drone melancholy frown of a tired worker. They had come to the Land of Snow hoping to find information on the Three Tailed Turtle, not interrogate someone that possibly killed two men... "If you didn't kill them per say... Then what did you do to them? You left a rather large crater out in that massive ice ocean, I don't think you can say you just visited him and left seeing how his entire home is in pieces in the center of it..." The Udai member pauses for a moment to look the man over, he had the sort of face that you wanted to punch for no particular reason, and the massive crystal in his chest crept Tatsuya out like crazy... "A-and that crystal in your chest... What is it used for?" The boy spoke, using as much of the information Ichite-ru had given him on his encounter with the Sound ninja when Lu went missing...
Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention, I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives

"Well we did visit him and did leave, as a matter of fact," Shuniji stated snarkily, "Then again, the former was only the result of that damn blizzard... talk about lucky..." he added as an afterthought.
"But since I kind of want to get the hell off this frozen rock I'll tell you this: The tailed beasts are sealed. Don't bother worrying about being randomly attacked by turtles or foxes or whatever on your way home. That's done."
Shuniji used his height to carefully eye Tatsuya's face for the slightest change in expression. Shuniji himself felt he was emoting for both of them with that boring, professional monotone the kid was using.
"As for the crystal, I guess it's doing pretty much the same thing my heart did before. I mean... I don't think there's anything else in there that would be pumping blood..."
Shuniji actually looked down at his chest, slightly perturbed. How DID that thing work, anyway??
He leaned back on his heels a little, which caused the whole dock to groan from the stress.

((i read the pm van my bad))
Riku had been holding his breath longer then he had planned to letting go of his clutch from beneath the boat as he swam in the opposite direction of where the conversation had been going on quickly losing his breath he popped his head out of water with a deep inhale,he was failing miserably at regaining what little ninja he had in the first place.
riku hoisted himself out of the water and sat on the docks edge a little up from the cloud sound and old but unfamiliar mist ninja.hanging his head down as water dripped from his lengthy black hair riku tilted his head up revealing only the right eye from the midst of his drenched hair as he watched the group of skilled ninja converse with each other.he had nothing.no special ninja techniques.or even people he was "friends" with.leaning back he laid on his back and stared at the sky drifting off into space.he was out of his "element" entirely.

"Are we done here?" Seika interrupted with a hint of annoyance as she rested a hand on her hip. As glad as she was to see the two of them, Seika was cold, her clothes were muddy, and she just wanted to go home...
The annoyed glance she was giving Tatsuya was no longer directed at him, but Riku, who had been stalking them the whole way. She lightly set her hand on the end of her Scythe, tapping a finger against it's metal frame impatiently.

There was a moment that Tatsuya was tempted to break the questions and just stab this guy in the face. Again, his face just seemed to scream 'HIT ME!' However, Seika's comment brought him back long enough to turn his head slightly and give her an honest smile, "I-I'm sorry, just one or two more questions..." He still considered her a friend, even if she was wrapped up in all this, she must have had a reason, at least he could hope she did. After the moment of crack in character the boy turned his head back to the blonde-ish haired man and spoke again, while standing and pointing nonchalantly with the dagger at the man's crystal so he would know what the boy was talking about. "We have reason to believe that you murdered/sealed/abducted, whatever you want to call it... with that gem, is that true? And did Cao meet the same fate?" That was basically all the information he had gotten from Ichite-ru when the host had come to the Udai counsel. If he didn't get a clear answer he would have to let them go unattested, or something...

♠ Shuniji FukuAre you ugly?
Shuniji didn't take kindly to having a blade pointed at his chest. His bubbly disposition lost its glimmer and his face hardened tenfold.
He used his fingertip to gently push the flat of the blade away from his torso.
"I take it you've spoken to Ichite-ru Shujouteki..." He stated smoothly.
He eyed the dagger as one would a child throwing a tantrum in a public venue--with irritation and pity towards the person to whom it belonged.
"If you have Ichi to tell you all of this, why interrogate me?" He gave his trademark shrug and tilted his head, "He's your ally after all. If I say anything to contradict what you already know, you're still going to believe him instead, hm?"
His voice was cold, stable and smooth, with a tone belying a jagged edge; like granite.
"If such is the case, then you have no reason to keep us here. It's not a stretch to believe our Lord Otokage has kept us in the dark just as thoroughly as your team, is it? Seika and I only know the absolute bare minimum amount of information it takes to function on a mission. Sound is just that kind of village. I'm sure Hiyo, or even Ichite-ru can attest to this much."
Shuniji looked exasperated. He kind of liked being viewed as some enigmatic pillar of secrets and wasn't too keen on admitting how little he actually knew.
"Considering the explosions, Ichi's eyewitness account.... this guy," he gestured loosely to the kid sitting next to him on the dock, "It's not that big of a secret that yes the jewel glows, the Immortals vanish and I can suddenly punch through concrete and swim like a beluga whale."
He sighed and frowned at Tatsuya.
Mood: Conflicted
Status: Singing like a canary
Thoughts: If he points that sword at me again, I'm gonna ******** deck him.  A liar, like me?
A user? A lost soul?
Someone you don't know?
Are you like me?
Are you... ugly?

Seika remained silent, only making the usual impatient gestures to keep her from trying to punch somebody in the face repeatedly. Her attention was still taken by Riku, whom she was now watching like a hawk. Shuniji seemed to be aware of him, so she shouldn't worry too much about it.
Her gaze flashed over to Tatsuya, watching his dagger get pushed away. Seika merely shook her head at the sight. She learned a long time ago, that you never point a weapon at Shuniji, unless you want it to be coated with glitter and an a** kicking..
Silly, silly Tatsuya. She felt sorry for him because he had to deal with Shuniji. Oh well though...Shun was handling this better than she ever would.

"Because I don't want to believe Seika is doing this..." The boy admitted with a gloom look plastered on his face, he still wasn't wanting to have a fight break out in the middle of an already damaged harbor, that would just make matters worse. "Also, I would ask Brother if he was still living, he died by this dagger about two years ago." Somehow the boy looked even more pained by the fact that the images of Hiyo dying were sprawled across his head. For a moment Tatsuya considered placing the dagger at it's original spot pointing at the man's chest, however he settled for pointing it at his stomach, more so the guy would be able to get a look at it. Though Tatsuya was more than likely the only one in a 100 mile radius that even cared about Hiyo or the dagger that killed him. "I-I don't mean to change the subject but how do you know Brother?" The general question that was asked when Tatsuya met one of Hiyo's friends, though with the recent track record he was beginning to wish that his brother chose better people to surround himself with...

♠ Shuniji FukuAre you ugly?
Shuniji looked decidedly nonplussed by Tatsuya's sudden shift in tone. He wasn't really one to care about the thoughts or feelings of others, though he did note that the boy seemed less apt to stab him now, if only slightly.
"Hmph. Too bad. I owe him a haircut," he stated cryptically.
He glanced down at the dagger more because it was expected of him than genuine interest.
"We first ran into him on a mission that took us to Cloud. I ran into him again during the Chunin Exam, what was it... three years ago? We woulda faced off at some point in the third round, I guess, but he got himself expelled by attacking me between rounds."
He resisted the urge to chuckle. The look on his face had been priceless. It was too bad Shuniji had been too stunned at the time to notice it then.
The solemnity that hung around Tatsuya was more bearable than the tension created by his professional persona, Shuniji decided and he shifted his weight and allowed himself to fold his arms across his chest as he looked on with a genial gaze.
"That's... not to say he was a bad kid, though," he continued carefully, "Just... hm... ambitious, I wanna say? Eh, he was really annoying. Good ninja, really annoying person."
High praise coming from Shuniji.
Mood: Nostalgic
Status: Failing to dredge up fond memories
Thoughts: I'm not sure if I should be sad he's dead or disappointed I didn't get to punch him first... A liar, like me?

Seika bit her lip and clenched her fists in a way one would when they were being accused of something they didn't do. The only difference is that she was involved. Tatsuya just didn't understand....nobody would, even if she tried to explain. It would just be a waste of her breath.
'It's okay...they don't have to understand, as long as I'm doing what's right in the eyes of my peers.' Seika reasoned, allowing herself to simmer down a bit. Nobody else mattered, there...is no such thing as a future outside of Sound, Any hope of that was irrational.
That's why Seika was here, she was trying to make up for her mistakes. She was on the right track now, She was doing the right thing. There's no reason Seika should look so hurt by Tatsuya's comments.

もし何も私がそれを止めるためにすることができること...
If there's nothing I can do to stop it...  ╔═蓮 新潟════════════════════════╗ Mood: Annoyed. Sugar-coated ideals give
me indigestion. Doing: Trying to smack some sense into an
idealist... like that's ever worked! Status: Being a "diplomat" Location: Hell is hell no matter how you look
at it.╚════════════════════════蓮 新潟═╝Ɍen let out a sigh and decided this farce had gone on long enough. "If she is "doin' 'is", r'fusin' ta believe it 's nat gonna make it any less true Tatsuya." Ren said flatly. He wasn't accusing her of anything. Quite the opposite. If ideals ever had a place in Ren's mind, it was before he could remember. But for the love of ********, they. were. Ninja. That meant: Yes- they killed people. No- not everyone would be sunshines and rainbows about it. Would confict spark out of it? Sure, happened all the time but this was a waste of breath.
Ren looked at Seika. And his eyes told her... he understood. "Shinobi 're tools. We follow orda's an' 'at's it. Tha rest a' life is just ta pass tha time while we wait fer tha next one. 'Eir orda's come from tha Otokage- our's come from tha Udai Council. 'Ere's no difference an' no reason to personalize evrathin'." His voice was entirely void of emotion the way that the vacuum of space was void off air. Facts didn't feel.
Even with all that said, he'd still think of Seika as his friend. If one day he found himself fighting her- he wouldn't hold back. He wouldn't make it personal because it wasn't. But that didn't mean he wouldn't still think of her as a friend. "Look- we gat tha infa'mation we came fer an' I don' think we're gonna get much more 'an 'is. So 'ow 'bout we find a way ta get outta 'is frozen hell-hole an' go find tha next immortal 'fore some s**t goes down w'em too." Ren wasn't even on Shun's "side" and he was made uncomfortable by the fact that the kid was holding a weapon out at him. What Ren remembered about Shun from the exams made him less inclined to want to piss him off and this was no time to be starting a fight. First of all- Shun was strong. Second- he didn't know much about Seika's strengths but he could assume she was pretty tough. Third- Tatsuya'd be on. his. own. because Ren wasn't in any condition to do jack-s**t. And he wasn't one of those "self-sacrificing" types, so he wouldn't even waste the effort to think about offering any assistance. To ANYONE.
Ren was the pinnacle of neutrality.
He looked at Seika again. His eyes now telling her he didn't want to fight. He was covered in more mud than usual and with ice added on top of it. On top of THAT, even if he didn't make any moves to attack, if anyone attacked him he'd be dead in the two seconds it would take for a blade to find him. He'd really rather not be dead. There was another book he'd been dying to read. And on top of THAT... he didn't want to declare her his enemy just yet. So, as much as he'd like to spend some time with Seika again, it might have been better for them to just go.
...He'd just stated the words he lived by, and he believed them fully. So then why did the fact that he'd probably never see Seika again on friendly terms make him feel.... well he was pretty sure this was something akin to "depressed."
why should I care?

TATSUYA MIYAKI Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen. GPS : Back in "Civilization"
Mood : If we're tools do we get tossed aside when we are broken?
Demon Count : 1/9
Tatsuya glared into Shuniji's eyes for a moment, not with any hatred for what the man had said, but more so in a way that he tried to somehow absorb his thoughts. However after the awkward second was up and he wasn't any more informed the boy finally placed the dagger back in it's holder. Maybe if he had more things to press he would have stayed firm in the rocking boat, however as much as he didn't like to or would vocally admit it, Ren was right. The boy didn't have problems with Seika or Shuniji, it was apparent that his problems were with the person who spouted orders, the Otokage. It was for that reason he removed himself from the boat by jumping onto the dock beside Ren. "I-I guess we should do that..." The boy looked straight down at the wooden planks that made up the dock, he didn't want to look at the sound ninja, no. He just wanted to go home, back to Cloud and just sleep until the world was a better place. "I-I'm sorry for bothering you..." With that Tatsuya gave a slight bow and started walking away, though, he stopped for a moment and spoke to Shuniji once again, "getting angry causes wrinkles... Father gets them all the time, you shouldn't get so angry, you seem like the sort of person that enjoys their looks..." Harmless comment and a rather shitty attempt to bond with the guy he had just pointed a dagger at, but hey, it was an attempt. After he was finished he turned back and continued walking.
Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention, I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives

slowly rising up riku leaned forward and turned his attention to the group a puppet like expression was worn casually on his face as he got up and walked away disappearing in the midst of the still stirring crowd behind shops lined farther up the docks.riku had realized something as he had laid there.he wouldn't be able to keep up with other ninja if he wasn't powerful he would start his search for power.
