Welcome to Gaia! ::

**Thread Repaired**

Vacations were always a wondrous thing to be sure of. All the various sights and sounds that one could have, it truly made a trip into a journey. What's more is taking a trip like this with your loved ones.

The passenger carriage bumped along the rocky road with it's passengers quietly riding along. The countryside filled with rice patties lined the view as far as the eye could see, dotted here and there with thickets of trees that ran on beyond view for miles, maybe even days. Nothing as significant as Konoha but, then again, when it came to woods what was?

This was still a peaceful trip, specially having come from such a hectic place but regardless, it was a trip none the less. The driver had been quiet the entire time, not wanting to even ponder on what kind of passengers he had with him this time. Their story was that they were a husband and wife and their two daughters however... if this was true then their daughters were far to wild for his taste and far to intelligence... and psychotic. At least one of them was.

In the carriage, Star rested her head upon the padded shoulder of her firm love Kage. Across from them sat a rather posed and quiet young girl in a lavish european style dress. She sat with her eyes closed and her mouth closed as well. To anyone else, it would look as if she were asleep but Star knew differently. The one she called Little Miss, short for Mistress, was actually working on manipulating the small amounts of chakra she held in this pathetic form of wood and steel.

At first she held a strong distaste for the woman that sat across from her but now, she simply sees it as an obstical to overcome. If she could manage to get a sense of control over this chakra and maybe even find a way to gather more... she would be quite the foe.

As for the opposite side of the spectrum, you have Rain... not as composed and not as pleased with being in this dress. Her current body held little concern for her but she hated frilly things. She sat there, fidgeting with the clothes.

A slowness came to the carriage as they neared the path that lead to the hidden village. Of course the driver had no clue as to what he looked at but these were the directions he had been given.

"Oy... here we go." He spoke as he looked over his shoulder to the sound of an opening door. The last male passenger he'd have stepped from the carriage and looked over to the man. Soul sucking eyes made the carriage driver shudder and look off to front again. A cold sweat ran down his back and he felt a bit quesy all of a sudden... just from a look. He would feel the carriage rock 3 more times as the rest of the people stepped off but he couldn't shake the feeling. Something was wrong... why was he so frightened all of a sudden?

"Ahh my good sir, I would greatly appreciate it if you would forget our faces..."

"Ye...ye...yes ma'am. Never seen ya a day in my life..." he spat out as quickly as he could.

Star sat there for a long moment and looked up to the man... he answered far to quickly... he had answered out of fear which means that he would spill his guts out of the same emotion's influence.

Just as the man reared his hands up to snap the cords attached to the horses, he'd feel a pair of hands gently touch his. Glancing over he'd see Star's ruby red eye's glancing at him and that was the last thing he'd ever see. Although his pain would be felt for far more time.

The stench of burnt flesh and the sound of crackling wood would fill the air as it approached the guards of Oto. A cloud of dust would be kicked up and soon the item that caused it would come into view. A glorious blaze would come into view and the trolloping sound of horses would fill the air. It wasn't until their view focused on this that they heard the wails of pain and agony coming from the horses and what seemed to be the remains of the carriage driver; all set ablaze.

The commotion it caused summoned dozens of ninja's from all around. No one was hurt, one person was killed but that goes beyond hurt now doesn't it. This was the perfect distraction for the little 'family' to make their entry into the village of sound.

Toshi looked around anxiously as he walked. Looking at how big the gate was, how far it stretched up and side to side. He shook with anticipation. He was finally becoming a ninja. Just like his cousin.

"WOW!!! It's soooooo HUGE!!!! This is way bigger then Okazai!"

Once his breathing was calmed. He started walking even faster, but still listened to the sounds that the birds were making. When he reached the gate he looked slowly around for traps. When he figured it was clear he walked into the village nodding at the guards as he passed the gate.
