Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Bear hug no Jutsu! xDD))

Yokou's face darkened with embarrassment as she suddenly remembered - oh no, they were in the middle of a street! But that was the least of her worries...when had that crowd of freaky men gathered?! "Hey miss, may I help you up...?" A pale-haired blue-eyed young man, seemingly a refugee Jounin from Kiri, slyly placed his hands on Yokou's shoulders - one inching to her free hand while the other to her waist. Not that he lasted long, for suddenly, Zephyr (still in his child form), appeared behind him and with an iron vice-grip grabbed the said man's throat.

"Hey. Don't mess with my onee-chan." Was the child's cheerful words before the Sannin tossed the man a good 80 ft from the ground. Needless to say, the crowd of spectators' jaws dropped promptly by the freakish show of strength. A smirk and confident hazel eyes dared anyone else to touch his student. Whatever was the case, Yokou did like Akane, or she wouldn't have freely hugged him. Interferers on the other hand...he would obliterate...

Though her complexion further darkened, Yokou leaned in and gently kissed Akane. Though the moment was kinda ruined by a pained groan in the background. "You...b*****d... Onee-chan, yeah right. You two look nothing alike." The said Jounin angrily gritted out as he struggled to get up. Zephyr may have knocked the wind out of him, but the Sannin did not do anything past breaking a few bones. Yet, the Jounin's companions began unsheathing weapons and surrounding the group.

Shikamori's eyes darkened as he looked questioning to the 'child'. A nod was enough: they will take care of this. "Heh. You two should get going, no?" The raven-haired Sannin's smirk suddenly seemed to have an edge of malice in it. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry..." Zephyr continued in a tone of mock apology, followed with the childish puppy eyes. For a moment, that seemed to temporarily disarm the angry Jounins. But a wicked grin suddenly crossed his face. "Why, would that have been better?"

If the sounds of patience snapping could be heard, there would've been quite a few...

Ame tilted her head before laughing. "Alright... " Slowly she got onto his back and wrapped her arms around him. The last time she rode on someone's back was when she was younger... Her father used to do that with her all the time. It was always so fun. "Let me know when you get tired... I don't want to be a burden..."

Yokou groaned, slightly shaking her head in exasperation at Akane's comment about the general fate of those men. "Someday, Sensei will be arrested..." Were her muttered words. But then again, that's only if there's someone strong enough to arrest Zephyr in the first place... I hope he remembers we already owe Iwa money...and not total the village square... Hopefully, of the two, Shikamori acts more sane...

"Anyplace, I suppose. I don't know Iwa well, except for what I've visited or scouted with my Byakugan..."

[[>.> enter, The Godkage...]]

After a bit of a...bad experience in the cafe, Marcus decided it was time to head home and relax a bit. No sooner had he entered his door had he received a message to go back out to the tower...what a bother...he knew taht if he stayed at home they'd come looking for him eventually so he decided it was time to vanish again. And what better place to do that than downtown Iwagakure. He turned on his radio in his house and changed outfits based on the first song that came up.

It was a ballad...something from the Godfather in rock form. So, the normally weird dressed kage, ended up leaving his home dressed...rather interestingly. Still adorn with the black guitar(he had removed the flames), he was now dressed in a penstripe business suit. Solid black leather gloves were tightly wrapped on his hands. A fedora was slipped onto his head, covering one of his eyes. The sound of his well maintained shoes clicking along the ground could be heard 3 doors down. He was flipping a coin as he took steps toward the center of town. Within 3 stepps, he vanished having used body flicker.

He eventually began to walk from rooftop to rooftop, collecting some of his...friends as it were. Various thugs and ruffians that enjoyed hanging with him in his various moods. He kept them out of trouble to be sure but they loved him cause he was good for a laugh. he had switchedout his bulky headphones for a pair of the type that slip into your hear to be more conceiled.

As he walked from roof to roof, he soon came across a sight. A man carrying a woman into the distance...seemed...interesting to say the least. He sent ahead his minions to stop them as he walked closer to them.

"Well now...what have we here...you two's don't seems to be from around here. Mind if I ask whats you up too?"

A snicker left his lips. A finger to his hat tilted it up as he looked to the two before him. Hmmm hadn't he seen a report or something on them...an older Hyuuga woman and a man with mismatched eyes...oh yea thats right...bah what a mess. He had run into the people he was tryin to avoid. Maybe...maybe he could play it off...yea thats it.


"Hay...ay boss. The ladies cute ain't she? What's up wit dim eyes though...ain't she a Hyuuga?"

A glare left his eyes as he looked down to the smaller shinobi. A quick step turned into a simi circle and, without anyones notice, he had drawn his guitar and smashed the man in the head. Within seconds, he was a distant star in the sky. "Don't speak unless spoken too boy..." he said before replacing his guitar on his shoulder, "Well now den...da Hyuuga and da Hokage if I'm not wrong...interesting...I suppose you two be looking for the Tsuchikage...hehehe, maybe I's can help."


But boss...yous is the Tsuchikage ain'ts ya?!" a taller goon said...rather loudly too.

A sweatdrop left Marcus speechless...was it really this hard to find good help these days? He glared back at the man and soon slammed the guitar down onto the roof of the wall. The other goons freaked and spread out. Placing a well polished shoe on the guitar, Marcus reached down and pulled a somewhat hidden rip cord from the guitar. A moter...yes a moter began to reve up with that one pull. This was more than enough to send the larger goon to running. "Get back here fool. I got an offer you can't refuse!!!"

Marcus slide up around the front of the goon, whom towered a good 3 times his size mind you. Reeling back, he thrust the bottom of the guitar into the mans chin, sending him flying straight up into the air. He quickly converted the guitar in his hand so that the neck was pointed up. He then began to rip cords upon the guitar and, from the top, shot after shot of kunai rang out to rip the man to shreds. Marcus looked like a man possessed.

In about 5 minutes, he came back to the two love birds and smiled, "Well now, what were we talking about? Oh yea, you guys wanted to see me or something?"
