Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tsuki was silent, watching the ocean as stars glittered in reflection across it's surface, seeming to grow distant. She wasn't, however, just letting the waves motion almost flow through her so to speak. "I'm not saying they ever were. Not like I have any towards him." She muttered under her breath, falling quiet as she let the shirt loosen a little, feeling a bit on the warm side. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath as she thought about her answer. It wasn't like she had paid much attention to the kid at all. "Skilled at water, seemed as if he could shift himself persay into shapes though that may be genjutsu. He seems young, new mayhaps. Vykin would be the one to ask since she seemed to hang around him more." She murmured, falling silent and distant to the two of them, her hair getting blown in front of her face again. Her hands moved as she opened her eyes, her gaze never wavering from the waters surface as she began to braid her hair, tying the end off with a ribbon, letting it spill in front of a shoulder.

Sorain threw Seto a weird look,"You are letting your emotions get in the way already. Sai is asking a question that is very important. Me and Sai have been in the heat of battle together before and trust me when I tell you. When the s**t gets thick, all you have is trust. Trust that your partner will be there at the right time when you need him. We are soldiers, dont take things so personal. Sai was abit rude yes, but your new here, You have to earn your respect like everyone else." He repremended. Although he did feel as though Sai was being rather harsh he knew where he was coming from,"Yes, I know his name. As far as if he is realiable I dont know, have not had teh chance to find out. It is obvious that he is very passionate about being a shinobi which I guess is a good thing, its much more than what could have been said for me, but at the same time if he lets emotion cloud his judgment like that its going to be trouble. His chakra level is. Well its right on point for where he is, so basicly hes not a liablity by far. He cant hurt the mission or anything, I just dont want to see him go in over his head though. Team him up with one of us and he will be fine."Sorain finished. He shifted slightly so that he was now facing Seto in case he wanted to reply.


((no offense btw.))

Tsuki just watched them, not realizing either that Seto had followed them to the beach. She had thought he had stayed behind with Vykin. She made no comment whatsoever to any of them, finally turning her gaze to them from the ocean and stars. She sighed lightly, pulling off her coat so she was just in her white shirt, laying it on the sand. She almost debated comforting Sai since she guessed he was agitated, maybe even angry, though she decided it best to remain where she was next to Sorain a little away from the fire. Stretching out her legs, she leaned back on her hands in the sand, remaining the quiet bystander for the moment. It was almost what she did best considering she had done it for most of her life.

Tsuki caught his glance to her, she had noticed it alright, but she wasn't going to comment. Not in front of anyone at least if at all. "As I said before, Mizu Tsukiyamoru. Tsuki for short. Water bending and jutsu are my strengths. I was called here from Hidden Earth." She said softly, her eyes resting upon Seto as she nodded once to him, choosing to mention where she was from since she wasn't of Mist like them. Though the reason for her being there, she decided not to mention. He could probably figure it out on his own, or ask if he really desired to know. Brushing something from her pants leg, she glanced over to the three men, letting her eyes linger a little on Sai as she wondered if it was just an act or if something was up, brown depths darting to Sorain before returning to the ocean.

"What do we do now?" Sorain asked outloud, he ment to say that in his head but could not help it. He started to feel as though things were progressing to slow. He was used to going in and fighting it out. "Well the way I see it is this. Sailing training or not, we are leaving tommrow for the mission. We cant wait, Pirates dont tend to stay in one place for too long and im sure they will notice if we some how show up on there ship in the middle of teh ocean. I think that tonight we should try to practice fighting without relying on blood line jutsu. I would also like for us to discuss the meeting before it gets too late, I fear that if we wait too long then people are gonna start falling asleep on me." He said. " This is going to be difficult for me because I honaslty dont know how to aim well without my Byakugan. The world looks totally diffrent for me when there are not activated." Sorain pulled up his eye bandage to show another eye, it was not white though, more like transparent grey. There was a small pupil in it, which was odd for a Hyuuga. That had been getting worse everyday. It seemed like he was looseing byakugan in that eye, only when he actually activated the white eyes did that eye even function as a Hyuugas. He hid his eye behind the bandage once more and then waited for the reponses.

Seto's mind was so addled at this point, he could hardly tell where he was. It seemed like his body moved on its own, and his mind was all but shut down completely. This deep-seated confusion was driving him crazy, and affecting everything he did. Rather than prolong an argument, he just nodded and turned away from the group, staring at the splashing water. All the talking that went on sounded like garbled nonsense to him. he couldn't make heads or tails of what was being said to or around him, like he was drowning in empty space.

He didn't want introductions anymore. He didn't want to speak to anyone, he didn't want to look at anyone, he didn't want to be involved. He didn't even want to be part of this mission anymore. Something was wrong with him, and it was getting more serious as time went on. Before long, he could be lapsing out completely, waking up at who knows what time, possibly right before he's killed. He had to regain control of his thoughts, or he wasn't going to make it. He took off his headband, letting it slip into his pants pocket. Running his fingers through his short green hair, he held his head low, groaning quietly.

"What the hell is wrong with me....?"

Tsuki had noticed something was wrong with Seto and was about to ask when Sai stood up, drawing her attention moreso due to the smile that had drawn itself on his face. She grimaced a little as she just watched him, sitting very still. She knew that look. She knew it all too well. And she had to force herself to remain calm and not move, almost poised as if to retaliate though this wasn't reflected in how she was sitting. Pushing herself up slowly, she brushed the sand from her pants a bit, picking up her jacket from the ground.

Her brown eyes continued to observe him calmly, albeit some wariness in her gaze since she was seriously starting to wonder if this wasn't just the disguise. To her, it seemed more than likely that that was the case, brushing her braid so it hung down her back, waiting without a word for Sorain's answer.

Vykin smirked slightly as she caught Seto from leaving the group, coming up behind the other shinobi as they headed towards the beach. She had stayed back, but was able to listen to a majority of the conversation that had been said. She was about to suggest going towards the boat, but Sorain already suggested that they go to the beach to rest the night beforehand, considering they wouldn't get much sailing done at night. Vykin was about to protect, but considering that the others seemed to be for it, she couldn't really go against all of them. Sorain she might've convinced, but all of the rest of them seemed to be for it as well, so she just decided to keep her mouth shut and follow along. Seto seemed to be down and not in a good mood, which was to be expected because of their meeting with the others. But Vykin felt bad for the kid, considering that she was once in his position. She still was actually. Being the weakest in her team of Hatari, Shimaro, and Isato, not being able to hold her own in a battle that they had or anything. Vykin finally said in a sincere voice that only he could hear, considering that he was already away from the main group, "Alright... Seto, not everyone in this world is going to like you. But you're just going to have to deal with that. Hell, I don't think that those people even care that I'm living right now. But there is something that I have made them realize, and that's that I can ******** fight. I can fight just as well as them, and even if I have some character flaws, I can prove to be a loyal and ******** good ally. They just don't know you yet and they don't know your potential. That weird transformation stuff is going to be ******** important on those ships. We need to sneak our way into the Devron clan's ranks and assassinate each of their leaders. And we aren't going to be able to do it without you. No matter what they think of you, I think that you have potential, so here."

Vykin pulled out something that she was hiding behind her back. It was a sword that she had just picked up from a drunken pirate in the bar before they left for the beach. She handed it to him and said, "This is going to be your first weapon. I'm going to teach you how to use basic skills by the end of the night. Then after that, we can go onto the more difficult stuff. You have potential, but you just need to learn how to use it. Don't let ANYONE ******** tell you otherwise. Got that? It's up to you to prove to the world that you are one badass shinobi that they need to be worried about. I know, because I was there once. Now I'm going to see what the ******** is up with this mission quickly before moving on to training you with that thing. It looks like we'll be spending the night here before moving onwards."

Vykin placed a hand on Seto's head, ruffling his green hair slightly before moving past him and towards the group. It seemed like they were preparing for a sparring match before they left on the mission. Vykin walked up and said, "Sorian, just making sure you know I secured a vessel that we are going to take and I'll be training you non-sailing types on how to at least act like a sailor. And just to add onto end of this, don't ******** around with Seto. He's a shinobi just like all of us. Sure he's not as strong, but don't treat him like he's useless garbage. Sorain, I think you should know more than all of us that he's going to be important on this mission. He has a useful skill of transformation, something more difficult and realistic than your typical shinobi transformation, and he'll come in handy. On our first mission together, you didn't question my abilities when we fought together, and now, I'm asking you to lay off Seto. I'm only going to ask you once."

With that, Vykin walked off, leaving the other shinobi to do whatever battle royale that they were planning on doing. She didn't want to be a part of that right now. Besides, she was angry enough at them that she might actually kill one of them if she lost control of her emotions. But anyway, she needed to help train Seto anyway. As she made her way back to Seto, she said, "Alright Seto. I want you to come at me with everything you have. Don't worry about killing me or anything. If you're as weak as you think, then if you worry about that, you'll be even weaker. Now attack, and I'll teach you along the way."
