Tenshi remained seated until Usa released the jutsu and so he gracefully landed on his feet. Tenshi gave a bow as they left, "Thank heavens that is over." He shook out his damp hair, and wished he was dry. He could really use a new kimono now. "Damn... can I ever go anywhere without my clothes being ruined?" he mumbled to himself. He looked over at the chest, "At least we didn't go without gaining something from this." He ran a hand through his hair, as it was still damp.

Xenon gave a smile and nod to the two in turn. "My pleasure, Doll-san, Melinora-san," he said giving a gentlemanly bow. "I have to say that it does my heart some good to see that Kina has made such capable friends. I have to admit that I was a bit worried." he again ruffled the girls hair. "Myself being somewhat an exception, we Maboroshi don't always tend to be very personable." he gestured to himself. "I myself was brought out of my shell by-"

"MABOROSHI!"

Xenon gave a smug smile, looking as though he couldn't have been happier in all the world, even if he was a little exasperated at the moment. "Ah. The Angel of my eye now." he turned round in the direction of the docks. "Do watch out, she tends be a bit of fire breather when she gets agitated like this..." he then felt the need to add. "Oh, and, that's not a metaphor." he assured rather at ease with himself.



"Maboroshi!!!" Kimiko Momoe skidded around the corner of a building looking livid, her face to it's full level of comical drama that only she seemed capable of, while her mouth seemed to literally be emitting the occasional burst of flame as her rather abundant flame chakra manifested from her temper. "Your Snakes just tore up the Harbor!!" the girl closed the distance between them in a matter of seconds, lifting the boy up as though he weighed nothing, and shaking him as though to rattle some sense into him. "You sent them to do ONE thing! Find Yuki, and THEY DESTROYED THREE BUILDINGS! AND FLOODED THE PLACE WITH MUD!!"

Xenon was still maintaining his smile all the while he was being shaken about, as though this was perfectly normal for him, Mokutan remaining rather perfectly balanced atop the boy's shoulder, as though he was well practiced at the feat as well. "Ah...that's unfortunate...was anyone injured?"

Kimiko still looked livid. "I don't know!! But I swear that if they killed anyone I'm KICKING THAT OVER GROWN GARDEN WORMS BUTT!! YOU UNDERSTAND!!? WE"RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE GOOD GUYS!!"

Xenon maintained his rather collected persona even as his partner continued to rattle him about like a rag doll, the girl apparently oblivious to the presence of anyone else on the street besides himself. She did tend to get tunnel vision at times such as this. "I completely agree Kimiko-san, I apologize, I had merely thought it would be best if they dealth with such things merely because their faces weren't widely known, I didn't consider that Mu'se would disobey orders."

Kimiko seemed calm down a little to fast, as though this was a common ritual for them... "...okay..." she set the boy down and fixed his collar absently, apparently quite used to not having much space between them as she didn't even flush despite having set him down an inch from her face. "You're a real pain sometimes Maboroshi...why aren't you headed toward the rendevous point? We have to go thanks your stupid Snakes..." the girl seemed to drop her lids slightly, apparently becoming slightly more intimate. "You know it's rude to make a girl wait..."

"I was just saying hello Kina and her friends." he gestured, apparently alerting the girl that their were other people around.

Kimiko's eyes widened, her head turning, before she went brick red and put some distance between herself and her friend. "K-Kina! HI!" she seemed to be moving rather woodenly as hse raised her hand in an awkward wave. "Uh...long time no....see....heh...heh..." she shifted her eyes off to the side.



Kina was giving the girl a dull, slightly annoyed look, the look that most little sisters gave their brothers girlfriends. "....Kimiko-san." she acknowledged somewhat begrudgingly. "...You two seem like you've been doing well."

"Oh yes. Kimiko and I have been getting along famously. All alone. In hiding. Together." Xenon seemed to be telling the setup to a joke that he found very funny, and only a moment later it was clear what the punchline was.

"M-MaboroshI! STOP SAYING THINGS!" The girl was waving her waving her hyands in front of the grinning young man. "N-nothing happened! We were just training! We're friends! whatever he says is just teasing! Really!"

Xenon adjusted his glasses looking as though he might burst into laughter at any moment, but settled on a good-natured chuckle. She was so adorable when she was embarrassed.

Kimiko seemed to calm down quickly, the girl's mood returning to neutral with all the quickness of a flickering flame. "Oh..." she smiled at seeing Kina's friends, giving them a friendly salute. "Uh...sorry about that. This probably isn't the best first impression." she had a warm casual smile now. "I'm kind've working under a lot of stress now. What with the whole tyrannical regime taking over my home and all." she nodded, as though this was just another thing on her list to resolve. "I'm Kimiko Momoe, Leader of the Missing Nin Orginization 4, and aspiring heroine for love and justice."

"Love underlined." Xenon remarked in his airy pleasant way.

"W-will you stop it!! Your cousins just a kid!!"

"Well to be fair WE would be considered just kids...unless you took into the fact..." she delivered a gentle bop of punishment unto his head, the boy not even flinching as though he had been expecting it. "Hn hn hn, my apologies Kimiko-san. You are just so funny sometimes."

"I'll show you funny..." the girl said puffing up her face in an almost childlike way, before resuming her normal casual smile yet again. "Please don't pay attention to anything Maboroshi says. He's a really bad example, he'll corrupt your minds with things that are most certainly JUST teasing because he has a weird sense of humor that no one else finds funny!"



"I do." Mokutan added, having been snickering alongside his boss the entire time.

"Shut UP Mokutan!"

"Oh yes." Xenon said with a chuckle. "I'm a horrible villain, me." he said with a great deal of irony. "Why would you believe I used to be this brave and noble heroines's wicked nemesis?"

"Aw yeah! That was hilarious!" mokutan burst out chuckling "Little Kimi was all chasing after ya like "I shall foil you evil fffffffiiiiiiiieeeeeend!" AHAHAHA! Aw man that was a blast."

Kimiko sweat slightly looking embarrassed again. "Ah come on why do we have to bring THAT up! I was like 10! Maboroshi no one is going to take us seriously if you always DO this!!"

"Do what!?"

"You know what! That THING you do!

"Hmm....I don't know what you could be referring to, Mokutan, any ideas?"

"Nope, no idea chief. Girl's clearly lost it."

"Oh YOUR just as bad you stupid bird!!"


Kina sighed slightly looking at her friends. "One of you say something or we'll be here all day...they tend to go on like this for a while." she looked lazily annoyed still.

She had to admit, she had picked up a nickname she didn't mind having. She was caught off guard as a female cried out their last name. He took his warning a little seriously. She heard about the snakes tearing down the harbor. She wondered what Kina would say to that, but it seemed as though that was not their intent, and the snakes had seemed to do what they wanted. That was somewhat of a relief to her, but she sort of wished the snakes hadn't done it for Kina's sake, but she didn't seem quite so bothered with it. Somehow the conversation went from snakes, to love. It was kind of.... weird, but at least she wasn't being questioned about it, and it was only between the two of them. They seemed to have their inside joke about running away together, but it seemed she didn't think it was too funny. Miyako was actually getting a kick out of it.

And then a strange thing happened, a boy with a bow came to her and accused the two of attacking his team. From the band he wore, she assumed he was from the Hidden Mist. "Wouldn't it be better to ask questions first, before throwing the blame around? Doing that is a sure way to get a punch to the face."

Kimiko against all
You can sense her kind and benevolent nature... underneath her temper when the innocent are being threatened.

Xen against all

"Whoa whoa.... did that guy just say Pirates?" Mokutan inquired.




Xenon merely raised a brow at the boy's exclamation. "My, so they were actually attacking people?" he looked a little irked. "I admit I thought that Kimiko-san was overreacting."

"Dude just said Pirates..."

Kimiko folded her arms slightly, looking at the boy sidelong. "Overreacting to people in danger is better than under-reacting." she stated somewhat scoldingly.

"Like as an, Arrrr, scurge of the sea pirates?"

Xenon waved this aside as superfluous information. "Maybe so Kimiko-san, but I under-react to everything, so you really shouldn't expect less by now."

"Am I the ONLY one who SERIOUSLY needs an explanation on the pirates?"

The girl sighed rolling her eyes slightly. "Fair enough..." she admitted with a shrug. Her mother had said it was because he was a Maboroshi...they tended to born naturally mellow. Though personally, Kimiko knowing him like she did, it was more that Xen merely reacted to everything internally, and the only part of it which came out externally all looked the same way.

"Oh sure, just ignore the bird...and the fact that that crazy kid with the bow just said PIRATES."

Xenon seemed to have fallen slightly more neutral, as though the time for levity had passed, though now his face resembled Kina's fall back expression. "Odd though...it isn't like Mu'se to disobey an order...unless..." he seemed to realize something, snapping his fingers. "Ah...I suppose that would make some sense..." he pointed to the boy quizzically. "Did you threaten a short girl in anyway...? About yay high, black hair,"

"Clinically off her rocker." Kimiko made a swirling finger by her ear. "Says "zam" alot?" she seemed ponder the matter a little bit more before saying. "I guess you did say that they could rescue her if one of the Otobe or someone allied with them had her...but..." she slapped her own forehead. "Transforming in the middle of harbor?!" she gave a sigh. "I'm sorry" she said earnestly to the boy. "They shouldn't have done that. And we will be glad to cover all the damages. A friend of ours is really rich so-

Xenon however pitched "Kimiko while I am certain that Phantom would adore paying for damages, need I remind you that the buildings down along the harbor are owned by the merchant alliance?"

Kimiko suddenly froze squinting slightly in slow realization. "Wait...those guys we came here to thwart for great justice...?"

"Colorful words such as "great justice" aside, yes." he noted, back to smiling pleasantly.

"Those guys that deal in the slaves and are trying to sell out their Daimyo so they can join with the Rice Fedration and hand over this place to the Otobe!!?" Kimiko noted in an undertone that was never the less easy to hear from he exaggerated voice.

"That would be them." Xenon noted, pleasantly with a mere adjustment of his glasses.

"Then we will most certainly NOT be paying for their stuff!" Kimiko said apparently having lost her sense at the word "slavery" and gone over the edge completely at "in league with the Otobe". "Mu'se should have broken MORE of it!! In fact, I'M GOING TO GO BREAK MORE OF IT!!"

Xenon caught the girl gently by the shoulder, stopping her from heading off before she did far worse to the harbor than the snakes had. "Kimiko-san, you were apologizing for endangering the young man here?"

Kimiko stopped seeming to snap out of "Righteous anger mode" and blinked innocently. "Oh...right." she faced the boy again. "Anyway, even if I'm apparently not sorry about the buildings, I am sorry that you and this team of yours were put in danger."

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF!" Mokutan finally snapped. "PIRATES! Ask about the pirates!" the bird pleaded apparently having to know.

Kimiko seemed to recall. "Oh...right. I was watching for that part." she looked back to Xen. "Mu'se grabbed these people that they had tied up down on the docks and headed for the rendezvous point...but unless she mastered henge and shadow clone since we've seen here, I think only one of them was Yuki..." she raised a brow back to the boy with the bow. "Was that your...pirates?"

Xenon seemed to consider this. "If he believed them to be potential allies, it's possible Mu'se would have included them in his rescue mission. Though Are you sure that he attacked you...?" he raised a brow. "I mean admittedly you are covered in mud, but you seem otherwise quite unharmed, do you not...? Believe me when i say that the only other person I've commanded him to "attack" is most certainly not."

"What about Kyojin?" Mokutan reminded.

"Ah...I don't really even count him as a normal "person" as such...though very well. Of the two people who have faced him in earnest, one of them is an A-rank missing nin who's abilities are dead even with my own, and the other is dead."

Kimiko tilted her head slightly in this boy's direction. "Still, you were obviously put through alot of trouble because of them...I apologize."

"And I as well." Xenon said smiling pleasantly. "I suppose they are my summons after all, so I should share the brunt of the blame."

Kimiko looked back towards Kina and her friends. "Um...Sorry I didn't really get a chance to talk to you guys...but we kind of have to go... what with our sworn enemy in town and all." she winked at them winningly. "Tell you what, once the Otobe agree to step down and be ordinary citizens again, we can talk then!" she hinted for Maboroshi to follow. "Come on. Let's go. We can't waste anymore time."

Xenon nodded. "Quite right I suppose." he turned back to Kina. "Kina..." there seemed to be a wealth of meaning in his smile, and the silence that followed, even though it seemed no different from his usual. Still, Kina seemed to understand.




"Yes..." the girl said smiling again. "I...you too."

He gave another pleasant nod, before noting to them all. "Oh! And say hello to Mikito and Senkyo for me, we really must get together for a chat again soon. Oh," he seemed to recall one more thing, and if you happen to see an blonde young man in the oto forces, about my height, a little older, with a rather unsettling smile, tell him that there's four players, would you?" he waved a finger. "That's very important information he'll want to know. Four Players. I assure you he'll be very pleased with you for saying so. Farewell." with a pair of jumps the two A-ranked missing Nin jumped up onto the roof tops of the buildings above, another jumping carrying them off towards the point where the giant snake seemed to waiting in the distance, it's massive head visible looming over the building from the ocean...

Toshi smiled as he shifted Lunar until he held the cat. He continued to walk down the length of the harbor where he got bored of traveling the streets. Everyone was such a hassle to walk around. He walked up the side of a building and continued to walk towards a boat, the last boat in the line of boats in the harbor. He noticed something move and blinked. He stood there about to jump across an alley and just continued to blink. He tilted his head to the side and continued to stare at it. '... It couldn't be that easy...' He continued to walk the length of another building then jumped onto a wall and walked the rest of the way down. He continued to walk in the direction he was pretty sure he last saw it. He scratched under lunar's chin as he then put the cat up on his shoulders.

Shinzu arrived shortly after the A-ranked Shinobi had left, looking particualry pissed. "Batsu I swear to all the kami that the next time someone disappears on me I'm going to beat the crap out of them!" Shinzu bellowed as he walked up to Batsu. First pirates, then snakes, Shinzu was growing very impatient when it came this whole ordeal. Since Batsu had decided to run off he was forced to leave Tenshi behind to watch the ship. There was no saying what might happen to the poor Genin! "Who are you?" Shinzu asked as he finally noticed the two girls, and heard the blond one's comment. "I've had to fight both Pirates and Giant Snakes over the last week, I wold suggest you not triffle with me at the moment." He said dryly, it wasn't a threat more of a warning.

(Ex I mentioned the Tenshi was left behind so you wouldn't have to rp two characters in the same area at the same time. smile But if you want to go ahead and we'll continue on in normal posting order.)

((Sure, Tenshi will stay at the ship))

Miyako listened to the conversation between everyone. She nudged Urza, "Long day? Coming from the girl who wears a suit of armor all the time to make herself stronger? You should laugh at this kind of stuff, besides, I hope it's a long day. Long day equals great adventure," she said with a smile. At the mention of pirates her ears perked up. Pirates were known for adventures too, maybe they would get in on the action, but it seemed the giant snake had already removed them from play. She seemed slightly disappointed, but she was sure other adventures would be coming her way. Then they all had to leave, but it was obvious it wasn't the last they'd see of them. Miyako waved to them, even though they were criminals... she trusted them that they were out for the better of Oto in their own way, especially Xen. Something about him was... moving... just as much so as the Otokage. Now that these two had seemed to be attacked by pirates AND giant snakes, they seemed a little on edge. They did seem like they were more experienced than them but it gave them no right to be crabby towards them, "We've had to deal with a creepy village, a gruesome monster, and a group of perverts... Three moody girls, against two guys... not to mention if Mikito hears about this... he'll serve your heads to the Otokage." Of course she exaggerated a little, but hopefully they got the point that fighting them would eventually be a losing battle.

Tsuni Mazakou
Human Form

Tsuni was running about the streets of the port with an absent expression on her face, dutifully looking for her big sis's just like the Boss-sama-san-senpai asked her too. She didn't need to look around long in her human form before discovering that her the big sis's that she was supposed to find and bring back to the harbor were seen fighting some insolent knaves over in the shopping district of the town, Tsuni following the simplistic directions to get there only to see a pair of people that she was quite positive were NOT big bro's or big sis's by the headbands that they were displaying. They were from that misty-wateriery place...hmph! Those insolent knaces better not have been bothering her big sis's! Or else Tsuni would be forced to intiate battle protocols!!...She didn't actually have anything as cool as that, but it sounded really impressive to say.

"Hey!" the girl rounded the corner waving, her own Sound headband displayed prominently on her waist. In her human form she looked much older than she actually was, around 16 or so, and was often told that her odd behavior was...off putting. Which she took as a good sign, it meant that even when she was in her human form she could still strike mind numbing terror into the hearts of the weak peons of the world! Truly her greatness as a weapon of her big bro's and sis's knew no bounds! "Tsuni thinks she is looking for you!" she stated with her most nusiness like manner, clearly trying to impress these three new big sis's with a good first impression. "She was sent by the Boss-sama-senpai-san-sama...er...the Otokage, to bring you down to the harbor!" she then bowed to them respectfully, as though the three girl's were recent candidates to be crowned "Supreme most awesome people in the universe. "Tsuni is very glad to meet you Big sis's!" she said with a completely straight face that made her havior seem all the more bizarre, before getting to her feet again in a flash, and grabbing ahold of the Nodachi she had strapped across her back. "You knaves are from the Misty-whatever-village right? That means that Tsuni has to be nice to you." he r childlike way of speaking was still being thrown off by her apparently very professional demeanor, the Mazakou still attempting to look her most impressive. "Tsuni is Tsuni Mazakou...she doesn't really care what your names are, but you can say them if you want." she looked back to her big sis's, a light entering her eyes once more as though they were quite possibly the most amazing people she had ever seen, her professional demeanor barely maintaining itself as it became very obvious she woule like to smile and jump around excitedly. "Tsuni doesn't want to interupt of course, you can talk with everyone while we are heading down to the harbor."

She seemed to hint for them the proper direction, preparing to follow as soon as they set off.



Kina was merely giving the girl an odd look. The way she was speaking. "Your...a Mazakou...right? One of those creatures that the Otobe created using the firsts research to try and help the city."

Tsuni seemed to blush at being recognized as a godless killing machine even while in human form. "OH! Big Sis already knows about her! That's right! Tsuni is the best of all the Mazakou! She was the first and the other's are just second rate copies!" displaying the Mazakou's usual intent to demean every other member of their clan, always in a race to see who could get the most love and attention from their "siblings" ...those being any member of the Oto village. "Tsuni was made to serve and protect all the people of Oto, and destroy anyone who tries to hurt them....or bother them. Or looks at them funny...or sneezes around them without asking for forgiveness!!" she seemed to drifting off into a more angrily protective rant.

Kina looked to her friends, though it was likely that the Mist Genin could hear as well. "They sayy that they're...actually failed experiments...they were meant to protect and serve but they...uh...went a little...overboard. They apparently consider every member of Oto their family... and...well...they have very strong protective instincts, from what I've heard."

"..and doesn't wish them happy birthday on their birthday or says that they aren't the bestest ever or-"

"Um...you said Tsuni?" Kina inquired.

Tsuni immediately stood at attention. "That's right Big Sis! Tsuni is here to do whatever you tell her to do!" she said as though she would very much like to perform a menial task at her behest.

"Um...thanks, we'll head down to the harbor."

"Tsuni considers it an honor Big sis!"

Kina gave a slight sweat, but nodded. "Right." she fell more calm as she looked towards the two mist Genin. "From the sound of things, you two are going to the Harbor yourselves, and if you are from Mist, then we have no reason to be hostile towards one another. We are actually heading to your village now on a diplomatic visit while accompanying our Kage. The last thing we would do now is mean you any ill will." the girl was sincere, her rather rational mind and way of speaking calling them to calm themselves. She too seemed to be preparing to head along down to the harbor to rejoin their kage as soon as Miyako and Urza began to as well.
