The desert's silent oasis calmed Masato. It was peaceful to spend his time alone. The night was much cooler than the day time hours, it was no wonder Nari wanted to travel now. Masato arrived at the designated meeting point at the gate's enterance. He looked about, finding a pillar of stone to perch himself upon. Masato took a single giant leap, planting himself at the spot and folding his legs. It was a rare moment that the boy would take his time to meditate, gather himself. He was unsure of what lied ahead, but he knew he was ready to take it on. In the dark silence, Masato waited for his new found team.
The two quickly arrived at the gates. Taylor got off the bird the moment they did. His head was down. He was still distraught over the final encounter between himself and Zhi. It was hard to say goodbye. And yet, he knew he would return to her. He knew he was going to see her again one day. He was sad now, but soon he would be better. He silently approached Masato as he awaited soon to be sooner.

Masato broke his meditative concentration as Taylor approached. He stood up, stretching after the several hours had passed. His gaze caught something rather unusual about Taylor. He leaped from his rocky formation and landed directly before Taylor. Swiftly, his hand moved to Taylor's face, pulling above and below his eye with his own thumb and pointer finger, forcing the eye open for observation. " Did someone hit you blondie? Your eyes are all red...kinda puffy too." He scoffed. " I uh...guess I don't mind hitting them back for you." His big brother mentality had been forming as of late, even Masato had noticed but wasn't sure of exactly why he became that way.
Taylor did not expect Masato to contort his face. His face instinctively tried to oppose Masato’s hands as his arms flailed to his sides like a very flustered chicken. After all, if he tried to use his own hands to stop Masato, there was a very real chance the man might pop the gates and snap his neck. “Masato stop!” He squealed. Once his ally asked if he was hit, however, his arms stopped flailing as his left hand caressed around the side of his eyes. He didn’t feel any injuries, but then realized that the man was referring to the fact that he was crying. When Masato asked if he needed to punch someone in retaliation, Horus craned his neck to look at Taylor to see if was going to take him up on it. Taylor took a deep breath and smiled.
“I kind of wish there was someone to punch.” He said gently as he looked at Masato. His gaze made it seem as though he was looking past the taller ally. “It’s odd to hurt in the way I do. I didn’t think it I could do so again. But, I don’t think there’s anything I can do except just let it hurt. Then one day it’ll just stop.” He said. His mind recalled the only person in the world who hurt when he left. How much his world was based on that one person. Was that going to be the case with Zhi? He felt very similar to her as he did with him, which worried him. He couldn’t lose her in the same way.
“Masato, may I ask a question?” He said as his eyes refocused. “When I was in your body, it felt like I was seeing time slower. It only kicked on only when I was in battle, however.” He elaborated. His eyes focused in as he asked, “when you get hurt in a way that doesn’t require fist, does it kick in as well? Like when you see or feel something which hurts you?” He asked.

On her way to the hospital, Sonyo spotted a familiar spot of blonde hair. Looking to her side, she spotted both Taylor and Masato standing by the gates talking. The female stopped in her tracks, looking confusedx and slightly worried, then began to make her way over to the pair. "Taylor? Masa-san? What are you two doing out so late?Shouldn't you two be at-" Sonyo stopped, spotting Taylor's red and puffy eyes. Her heart skipped a beat as that same protective instinct she felt in the arena flooded through her, and the host rushed to Taylor's side, worry clear on her face. Despite the last time they had talked, despite the horrid part of her that he had seen, all that mattered to her right now was if Taylor was okay. "Did someone hurt you? Did someone say something mean to you? Who was it? Do I need to talk to them?" Sonyo's lips were pulled tight, becoming much more like a thin line than their normal appearance. The thought that someone might have hurt or even bullied this little boy she had become so protective of made something inside her stir angrily.

Taylor's flailing about to throw Masato off him made him laugh if only slightly. He released Taylor from his grip as he stepped back. His gaze moved to the sky as he started spilling his worries. He wanted someone to punch. He knew there was no way to stop his suffering except to endure it. Masato looked down at him. He didn't understand matters of the heart well, but knew enough that he could tell what tore at the boy. His own heart thudded as he realized what that emotion was. His mind trailed back to flashes of a woman who stood next to him as a child. The memories faded as soon as they came. Masato knew somehow that woman was his mother. " Blondie..." He started, seeing Sonyo come into view. Before she would reach them he spoke once more. " Yeah...it does." He said as his eyes turned crimson for a moment just to show his ability. " Thats what they look like when everything slows down. It happened when bandits tried to kill my friend. That pain is what gives me strength." With his last few seconds he patted Taylor's unkempt hair. " You'll grow from this in your own way. Be strong"
Sonyo finally had arrived at their location, questioning Taylor the same way as Masato did. Masato knew the young boy would get flustered at all the attention. He stepped towards Sonyo and smiled forcefully. " He'll be fine. Growing pains." Masato said, not completely lying....but having not known the heartbreak he felt he wasn't exactly sure of what specifically ailed Taylor. " Taylor and I are waiting on Nariomi Sensei to head out on our training journey." Masato had assumed Nariomi had already said his farewells to his woman, blatantly stating their intent.
Taylor watched the eyes shift blood red. That must be when time slows. He imagined the sensation must feel lonely. Masato certainly seemed to be responding as such. Was that why he has been attempting to reach out? Taylor recalled when he felt the loneliness. It was when he was in between his flight and before he met Horus. Those horrific months when time seemed both unmeasurable and eternal at the same time. He mostly no longer lives in that moment, but he wanted to reach out and try to stop Masato from feeling it.
That was, until Sonyo appeared. Taylor felt a jolt of anxiety rush in as she gushed over him. Their last interaction certainly wasn't something which would merit this. Taylor practically accused her of being a ticking time bomb, ready to drop Suna with a possibly apocalyptic nightmare. Why did she still seem so concerned by if he was alright? It confused him, but he did his best to respond. "I'll be fine. Thank you for your concern." He said sincerely as he looked away. It was hard to look directly at her. His face reflected that. Truth be told, he cared deeply about the woman. Sonyo's kindness was evident when she took great mercy to heal his wounds. Then during the demon attack, Taylor was assigned to protect her. In a cruel twist of fate Taylor then had to watch her be sealed with the demon. It was after all of this that from Kyomei that Sonyo was once possessed by a demon's influence and hurt innocent because of it. To which then he had to hear her voice her worries about the power of rage the demon held over her soul. All of these various pieces erupted pain from within his soul. He truly didn't know how or where to connect with her. Thankfully Masato did explain why they were there, so he didn't need to say anything further. He hoped she wouldn't take it rudely that he didn't speak more, but lacked the ability to act further.

Masato and Taylor both answered her inquiries about if the smaller boy was alright, and she could tell from how distraught Taylor seemed that 'growing pains' wasn't all that was happening-- she knew, though, when someone didn't want her to pry. When taylor looked away from her, Sonyo's shoulders slumped slightly, as if she deflated a bit. He must still be affected by what she said to Ayame, about her own worries. She should have never said them out loud when so many gennin were near, she should have waited. Sonyo closed her eyes for a moment to hide the pain that flickered in them, she had never meant to hurt Taylor. Opening her eyes back up, Sonyo reached out and set a hand softly on Taylor's let-down hair.
"I know I said a lot of things back in Lady Kazekage's house, words that you shouldn't have had to hear. I am so sorry Taylor, I am more than the woman you saw then, I promise. Life has thrown me through so many hardships that I lost sight of why I do what I do, but that is no excuse. I escaped the UHV, I made a family here... There's no way I'd give that up, okay? This village is my everything, and I'd do anything in my power to protect it, to protect those who can't protect themselves, to keep this place the place I love. I hope you learn to forgive me, to forgive what I said, and I hope that some day you can see me as more than just the scared woman I am."
She ran her fingers softly through the younger boy's hair, a sad and apologetic smile filling her features. So many mistakes... when would she stop making them? When would she stop losing the people she cared about. "You remind me so much of my younger self, Taylor. Someone with bright eyes and a big heart who wants to help the world. I don't want what happened to me to happen to you, okay? Never change." Offering a somewhat brighter smile, she went to continue speaking when Masato finally mentioned why it was that they were here. They were leaving... Leaving with Nari. Nari was leaving... again. Her whole body went rigid and she swore for a second her heart stopped beating. She had just came back... and he was already leaving her again? And without a goodbye? Again? Swallowing hard, her hand dropped from Taylor's hair, her eyes closing tight to fight back the tears welling in her eyes and the lump rising in her throat.
She would not cry in front of them.
She slowly stood, like if she stood to fast her whole skeleton might shatter. Taking a few deeps breaths, but not looking at the boys, she asked one question. "Where is he right now, do you know?" She could feel Shukaku's smug self laughing somewhere in the back of her mind, taunting her, telling her she wasn't worth a goodbye. He told her that's why Nariomi never said goodbye when he left, she wasn't worth the time... plus why would Nari want to touch the ticking time bomb that was herself? She cussed at him silently in her mind, Shukaku was like her anxiety given life.

His eyes, black as night shifted upward suddenly, shifting into the red gaze once more. " Taylor" he said with a sense of urgency in his voice. " Theres something white attacking the village. He motioned towards the sky as what was snow ( unknown to Masato ) fell from the sky. In a burst of momentum he dashed towards town, ready to destroy whatever he encountered. He glanced over his shoulder to Sonyo as he ran. " Lady Sonyo, I'll be sure to bring him back to you too!"
Taylor nodded when Masato ran off to the snowstorm. He was genuinely surprised when he saw the man so concern. Had he never seen snow? Taylor had, which was why he wasn't concerned. Besides, he had a more urgent issue. Sonyo unpacked a great deal of information upon him. It was hard to sort through it. It was almost as hard as it was to look at her. Despite this, however, he eventually spoke. "I don't know why you're asking me to forgive you." He said honestly. His gaze did not cross her. "I don't know what there is to forgive. That you're afraid? That you felt weak? I am afraid too. I'm terrified that a good person like you will be lost to the evil of the beast inside you." His tempo increased. He was getting more heated with each word. "Because if you give in and lose yourself to evil?!" He now looked at Sonyo. His cerulean eyes flashed with pain. "Then what hope is there for me? How can I not change and stay good when even I can return to what I...." He stopped speaking once he felt a tear. He realized too late what occurred. His mind subconsciously connected his own fears with his fears of losing Sonyo. "I`m sorry." He said as he grabbed his weapon and quickly channeled hand seals through it. He disappeared in a body flicker as Horus squawkwd in confusion. He then looked inquistively as he wanted to see what the girl would do next.

Cold gripped Sonyo like death. She would suddenly feel something beyond her typical ice ninjutsu. Even if she wanted to leave, she would be incapable. Then, she would see snow swarm around her. Once the snow faded, however, she was gone from sight.
Karuto walked through the village gates, his pack upon his shoulders. He hesitated as he cleared the crevice, turning and looking back over his shoulder to the only thing he knew in his life. With a sigh, he turned and gaze out into the desert. It was time to try something new.
Shadows darted across the desert sand. Four of them flew faster than the normal eye could trace. As they moved like hounds on a scent, a composed woman moved through. Her royal purple hair was in a bun and two chopsticks were placed within it. She did not appear in a rush as her eyes were locked in her book. She traversed the gates with no never mind as she seemingly followed the direction of the shadows.
