Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kyo walked across the hall and into one of the team's rooms. He had soon rearranged the furniture and beds so that he had, almost literally, made a small fort in the far corner of the room. He arranged the fort so that it was impossible to see into it because the beds were flipped sideways on top of the couch. He quickly fell asleep on most of the pillows, right up against the wall, wedged into the corner.

Tyson stopped about two steps short of the rail as he came back from his memories and started looking around. No one was in the immediate area, which means he could get some training in. Tyson dropped down and started doing one handed push-ups, switching hands after every ten, keeping track in his head.

Aca having walked off after Tyson started aimlessly wandering had snuck downstairs and was now poking around looking into the rooms. One room caught his attention so he entered it crawling towards the far corner where there was some sort of barricade or miniature fort.

Kage smiled warmly as his teammate bowed to him, and he admired the fact that she too had delicate silver locks of hair. It kinda made him glad that he came up top to introduce himself to her. In response, he too bowed before finally introducing himself.

"I am Kage Mikazuki, of the Forbidden Country. It's a pleasure meeting you Sukia." he said, still wearing the same warm smle as he arose. Now with his sunglasses off, his black iris' further examined his teammate, and secretly he had hoped that the scar upon his right eye wouldn't deter Sukia from further conversations with him.

"I assume your looking foward to returning to your village of origin then, am I correct?"

((BTW, if I manage to stay in this team long enough I'd be happy to illistrate each of your characters. I already have one of mine and I'll post the link for you in a sec. So if you're all interested just let me know.^^

Here's the sample: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/TsukinoKage/ChuuninKage.jpg ))

Kage stood there for a ittle while longer as his eyes glided to and fro, observing her evenly tan skin to her almond shaped brown eyes. She seemed much like an oddity, especially with her silver dreadlocks. Regardless, her grimace had shown him that she too disliked the Hidden Mist.

"You sound like me....when I was much youner that is," Kage remarked as he took his place beside her, leaning upon the railing as he peered up towards the rising moon. "I was originally born in Konoha, but at the age of ten I was taken to the Forbidden Country for reasons unknown to me. I was there that my parents died and I recieved this scar. I hated the Forbidden Country....but as the years passed by I came to realize that there wouldn't have been anything that I could've done to change the past. Still, I do feel happy when I am in Konoha it has a much more peaceful feeling about it. Is that too why you were happy to be assigned there?"

Though it was a slight description of his past, he failed to mention to her that the people that killed his family were extremists from the Hidden Mist that hunted them down for possessing a Kekkei Genkai...

He couldn't help but grimace slightly as visions of the past had come to mind, but as he basked in the rays of the moon his mind calmed itself so that he could further answer his teammates question.

"Why am I here? You could say that I enjoy meeting new people from other countries. But in all actuality, I'm helping the princess maintain the peaceful ties with the other countries now that we have revealed ourselves to them."

((Thanks Ebony.^^ And just curious, but Sukia's a genin, right? Or did she change after the two year leap?))

((I can't magically promote you so you're still a genin))

((I can settle with still being a genin, for now. So until I get the chance to be promoted to a chunin, I'll be working on an advance profile thingy. ))

Sukia closed her eyes and took in what she assumed was a compliment from Kage. The night was rapidly approaching and Sukia began to wonder if she would be training the night away or actually get some rest. It would be best if she rested.

"Hm?" Kage's question roused her from her thoughts. "Oh, male companionship is not something I am use to. ...Plus, I wet the bed. Well that sounded bad... I water weave in my sleep at times. It's quite embarassing."

Sukia stood in silence and watched Kage. He was... flirting with her? Sukia was known to be oblivious but she almost wanted to kick herself for not noticing this one. He was even able to worm one of her darkest secrets out of her. That sly fox. He had suggested that Sukia go get some rest but she was now feeling playful. Besides, the moon was ripe and that always did wonders when it came to her manipulating the ebb and flow of the waters.

"Alright, good night Kage." She bowed and turned her back as if she was walking away. Before she had wandered too far away from him she conjured a sliver of water from overboard and whipped Kage on his bottom.

With a smile and a halfway backwards glance. she said "Watch out for the bugs up here, they get pretty bloodthirsty at night. They might find your flesh to be suitable..." And with that she disappeared to the other side of the ship.

((Well to try and beat the overall time skip I should speed things up about now))


The night went pretty uneventful from there on. When the sun came up Taiki did not join it so the squad was left to their own accord until finally the ship arrived at it's destination. With the sound of a horn Taiki immediatly awoke and led you towards Mizugakure. The setting as the name suggested was covered in a thick mist. The sound of water crashing against the land could be heard all around, yet as eerie as it was it gave a soothing feeling. "Oi, where the hell are you." Taiki suddenly called out breaking the silence he maintaned throughout the walk here.

"BRAAAAAA!" A voice that was all too familiar to Taiki and perhaps a little to Kyo.

"No...why is he the freaking contact."
