Welcome to Gaia! ::

Reina arrives in Hidden Alchemy ahead of everyone else and stands by the docks. Her crinkly hair blows in the wind and all in her face. She stretches her arms and gets on her tip toes for a long moment before dropping her hands down at her sides and settling down on the ground. She freezes noticing a red haired boy a few yards away and smirks. "Hey, kid. I got lost on my way to Hidden Leaf somehow and was wondering where exactly I am." Reina begins walking over to the boy with a smile on her face. Her starry eyes gleam as the sun shines bright and high in the sky.

Reina notices movement atop the boys head but says nothing about it. "Would you? I would really appreciate it." She looks at the boy and notices his goggling. She shrugs it off because she is use to it having someone looking her over. She steps a little closer to him and smiles wider. "You remind me of someone I know." She takes a step back and watches him for a minute. "After you," Reina waves her hand towards the docks and awaits her new red headed friend. She turns her head to face the docks and notices a bundle of figures approaching from the docks. "You guys found me!" Reina dances over to the group with the grace and silence of a cat. She stops in front of a mangy looking dog with a ninja headband tied side ways upon its neck. She bends over, as if to pet it, then leans in close to its ear. She is still for a few moments and then stands upward. She looks at the people before her from left to right.

Reina then turns around to the boy when she notices a familiar face. "What the hell is he doin," Reina hisses and stomps away from the boy and the crowd that had approached. Reina stops a few yards from the man tossing ninja and shoves her fist into her sides. "Cut that out! Some sensei! You're beating up on little'uns like a big bully. Pick on someone your own strength." Reina glowers at her sensei a while before she storms over to him and gets really close. Close enough for him to smell her. She begins to place her hands on Drago's arms but recoils. Instead, she reaches for the ninja slowly so as not to seem too hasty. "Just hand him over and everything will be fine. You're okay, Drago-sensei." She coos gently in a soothing voice as if singing to him. She stares at Drago's face but not his eyes for knowledge that he could place her under a trance.

Reina stares at Drago for a while before he releases the ninja and seems to snap out of something. "Are you... all right?" Reina tales a step back then notices the ninja Drago had nearly strangled to death. Suddenly all of the memories she'd suppressed flowed back. She remembered each time she killed a ninja because she wasn't coherent. "You have to snap out of it, sensei." Reina continues talking to him in a soothing melody as the ninja begins to crawl away from Drago. Reina outstretches her right hand a little more and remains still. She allows her senses to take control of her. She remains as still as a stone and her face as gentle as a feather. From behind her Reina can hear Akou's angered swears. "Silence," she calls sternly but smoothly. She takes a few more slow steps backwards so as not to seem anxious to leave Drago to himself."I've been there and done horrible things... I didn't believe anything was left for me... trust me." She reaches her hand out a little more, very slowly. "I won't hurt you."

Reina notices Drago sit upon the ground and begins to take another step when her wrist is grasped. At first she was going to pull away then her body relaxes and she stands upward more. She smiles and walks nearer to Drago. She sits close beside him and sighs, "You caused so much damage here. What am I going to do with you?" She turns to him and smiles a little wider. "It's okay you guys," she calls to the group near the docks, "come meet a Sannin." Only Shaneko, the small pink haired girl of Hidden Craftsman steps forward from the crowd. As she walks over the others murmur then shake their heads. "We're going for the demon, Reina. We'll see you when you get there." Before long they were all gone. Shaneko stops near the red haired boy and watches him and Reina shakes her head. "Genin," she sighs and then looks up into the sky as well.

"Hey ki-" Reina rephrases her word. "Hey guy, if you see a dog around Hidden Leaf that looks kinda mangy and hangs around with a model looking guy then maybe you can team up with them if you're going to Konoha. That demon seems like a hell of a fighter," Reina calls out as she turns her attention from the sky to the red haired boy. If he was going to fight in Hidden Leaf then Reina was going to give him a hand even if not her own. "Tell them Reina sent you to them," she concludes as she looks him over a little bit. Despite him being a genin he did have a strong presence. Maybe he wouldn't even need Ella or Anthro's help. Maybe he can do on his own like he probably always has. Reina shrugs having forgotten she was 'lost'.

Reina turns to Drago as he speaks and smiles warmly. Her sensei has snapped out of whatever was bothering him. Maybe now she could have some time with him. It has been far too long. She begins to speak when Drago releases their ties and stands. She looks up at him a moment before jumping to her feet. "I'll go with you," she says smiling at him. Before long her smile fades and she looks away again. "You're LEAVING again?" She whispers as she stares down at her white flats. Her eyes slowly slide up her denim caprice all the way up to her sleeveless tank top blouse with buttons up the front and a flared collar. She then looks at Drago again. "Don't stay way too long or I'm gonna come after you," she pretends to poke him in the chest as she starts pass him towards the docks. "I have to be going too. I have a village to save. See ya around, sensei," she calls disappearing down the road.

Just when Reina reaches the docks she hears Drago speak and skids to a stop. "Y-your equal," she sputters turning around. "Ha, not even," she jokes. "When I outrun you in a race then I'll consider it." She turns towards the docks again. "I'm going to fight that demon with my students... er, with my team. We're going to fight that thing and help to save Konoha..." Reina begins thinking after having heard so much about the monster. She heard of upheavals of sand and monuments not of Hidden Leaf. Suddenly she remembers a name people recited when speaking of the demon. "Our dear Matsuri. The demon isn't in Hidden Leaf, it's in Hidden Sand." Reina runs for a boat at the docks and boards it, "Coming... Drago?" She outstretches a hand.
