Shigoro shook his head. "It does not work like that. The process would take... too long to explain. Suffice to say that there are always choices except in extremely specific circumstances. There is always a probability, no matter how small, that what looks like a certain-death situation is only an almost-certain-death situation. And he cannot see what does not exist. Those that are about to die have no 'futures,' and yet you might not die for some time. You have no immediate prospects of death, and the Elder can see the 'future' of your funeral, but it will not be for quite a few years, and while he can see the 'future' of the funeral, and knows it is yours by the words spoken, he cannot see 'you.'"
Shigoro turned around and sat down on the edge of the tower, looking out at Kirigakure. "Abandoning that line of conversation, I cannot tell you what to do with the eyes. I can tell people what our Elder says their 'futures' are, but I cannot influence those 'futures' in any way. Transplant one into your remaining normal eye, give them to someone who wants to do the same, do as you will. I cannot tell you what to do."
If his voice had been emotionless before, it had been a positive riot of outspokenness compared to his next statement. "Since you ask, I have no name, at least not one worth mentioning. No name, no emotions. Just a messenger and a guardian."

Luo sighed staring out at the village as he stood, his robes ruffling in the wind as he internalized the whole conversation. To most people what the man had said would be utterly confusing, but Luo could decipher it easily, and thus understood the dilemma he had.
"I see. Well why all of a sudden is my future of any more interest than someone elses? And may I point out that by coming here alone, you have already influenced my future. Ten minutes ago I did not have this decision to make, and now here I am making it. But that's besides the point. Before I attempt to transplant this eye, tell me the name of the man you killed, as well as the whereabouts of his body. It is that which whill force me to make a decision."
Luo then stared at the man from behind, his tone seeming to lose its subtle interest in the conversation. "And don't insult my intelligence. Every shinobi has a name, whether given by his parents, or by those he encounters. Your unwillingness to tell me yours and yet know mine, tell me that there is little to no trust in you for those you do not know. But it is well in my book, I shall simply refer to you as the man with the butterfly."

Shigoro repeated his former statement. His voice, despite the provocation, was unchanged. "I have no name. My comrades call me 'Tease' if they call me anything. And my job practically demands that I show no trust towards anyone, not even myself. If my hand were to commit an act of violence against those I was assigned to guard, i would cut it off immediately."
He took a light breath before continuing. The act was getting old for him, but thankfully he had no patience to wear thin any more. "And your 'futures' are more interesting than any others because, depending on the choice you make, you will either live a fulfilling life or somehow die immediately and yet remain among the living fo another ten to twenty years. There is no other logical explanation that the Elder has found for his Sight not working on an individual. Finally, I was not present when the Akatsuki in question was killed, and so I regretfully cannot give you their name."
((I honestly have no idea which Akatsuki they got the eyes from. Give me a hand here, ilink? sweatdrop ))

Mello was shaking his head as he listened to the two converse. He raised his head once more to face the Mizukage once more, looking at him with one eye open. "The Mizukage is right because of our interferences every world will come to the same conclusion," he proposed his lips brimming into a full smile. "Because of human interference the world has branched into hundreds of different timelines, but in the same way it will all end in one." He elaborated looking back and forth between Luo and the other man. "Omega," he whispered lightly almost tickled at the word. Of course this would have no meaning to the mizukage, perhaps he would recognize it's latin significance but most already knew that. Omega, the end. Mello was tiring of their talk of timelines and alternate worlds and moved the conversation back to business. "These are the eyes of Cody Hyuuga, Akatsuki who was taken by one of our more eccentric Jounin Zakuro." He began knowing deceit wouldn't get him anywhere. "However our village has plenty of money and treasures, what we really seek is truth." Mello began to explain stopping himself from delivering another lecture. His smile faded and a look of seriousness took over his face. "Two Eyes, two truths answer my questions fairly and there all yours." He said giving a rather simple request,"And your allowed one pass, just to be fair." Mello added at last second counting with his finger's to demonstrate.

As Luo pondered the answers from the man he would now call Tease, which was in and of itself a name of sorts, Mello seemed to chime in after a long silence. Luo took note of the name of the akatsuki member who died, and the name of the man who killed him. After listening to Mello speak, Luo turned back to him. "So what you are basically saying is that I need to answer at least one of your questions to get at least one of these eyes. Eyes which are somehow linked to my future. Fine then, ask me your questions. I will see if I find them suitable to answer."

The cloaked figure makes his way through the tower of the Mizukage. All the people inside look at him in awe and disgust as he carries the head of the Raikage in hand, blood spilling from it as he makes his way through. Rather than knocking on the door, the stranger kicks open the door, seeing two others inside. "Excuse me for the intrusion...Lord Mizukage...," the cloaked man stated...his voice deep and hidden. The man stopped, seeing as there was no one inside..."What the hell...?" the shinobi sighed as he begins to search throughout the entire tower. A trail of blood spilling every step he took around the tower. Finally, he gets to the roof, spotting the Mizukage and two others there. "Sorry for the intrusion...Lord Mizukage...but I've come to collect a bounty that you had placed on this man's...well see for yourself," the shinobi chuckled as he held up a head of another shinobi. It was the head of the Raikage...Hirose Kemuri. "As you can see...no coming back from that..."

((We're all three of us on the roof. You just tossed the head of the Raikage onto a desk with no-one behind it. >.<))

((We didn't want the Jonin to listen in on us.))
Shigoro looked at the head, one eyebrow raised high. "That's... disgusting. Not to mention cause for a major international incident. I'd get rid of the head if I were you."

Mello smirked as the idea of his first question popped into his mind. He applauded slowly ready to jump at the chance. "Such a remarkable display," He commented opening his right eye as well to gaze at the head. He took his foot off of the jar in order to take one step forward. "But I heard rumors that the nibi also carried the bodies of two akatsuki members, surely with a high priced bounty on their heads as well, surely any assasin would claim their bounties as well." He reasoned aloud letting his genius show. The ninja let both hands fall to his sides as his face grew serious once more, he looked with both eyes at the mizukage. "Lord Mizukage, please forgive my bluntness but tell me the truth do you believe that is the real head of the Raikage?"

The cloaked shinobi uleashed a hidden blade from under his arm as he held the head with the other. "You calling me a liar?" he asked threatenly. "How the hell am I supposed to know where he hid the bodies of the two Akatsuki members. You think a man such as the Raikage carries around two dead bodies on his person?" he asked crudely. "If that's how YOU get your kicks, I'm not one to judge, but rest assured, I've been hunting this fool down since the Mizukage placed the bounty, and now that I have the bounty and spent so much time, you're going to call ME a liar...I should kill you where you stand..." he stated.

Shigoro cocked his head to one side. "You are being awfully defensive if your honor is so faultless as you claim. Certainly the Raikage does not carry two bodies about his person, but to say so in such an offended tone? A case of 'He who is most guilty cries loudest foul,' perhaps? And if you threaten to kill one of my comrades rest assured you will not live to see the next sunrise."

"A bold statement..." the shinobi chuckled as he sheathed his blade. He then took a jug from his back pocket and drank it as he sighed with relief. "Ah...a bit of rum to calm the nerves...forgive me, it's been a long hunt. But if you want proof that this is the Raikage himself...then let me show you. The Raikage was said to have the power of the Two tails correct?" the stranger chuckled as black and purple flames began to emanate from his body. Suddenly, a strong surge of demonic chakra covered the roof of the Mizukage's Tower. "Well...that power lies within me now...that should be proof enough that this is the Raikage himself," the shinobi stated plainly.

The Kusakage Demascus appeared on the roof in a blur. He looked around counting 1... Mizukage, 2... Assassin 3 and 4 are unknown to him. Huh, he thought, way to ruin a party but those blacks flames could only mean a demon was here.
