It wasn't anger, stress or disappointment that greeted Kenji when she finally looked at him....it was sadness. Sadness that she hadn't trusted what he'd told her, that she didn't trust him and had gone off on her own "No...I'm not mad at you, Kenji." he said quietly, putting his hand flat on her head for a second before dropping it to his side "..." he moved away from her for a second then said "You still have Kein's chakra floating around you. I'd suggest a stronger shower for you and meditation for your chakra." was all he said. He wasn't going to berate or punish her...how could he? He hadn't really expected her to listen to him. Maybe it was because Sypher was used to having what he said be ignored, to having certain people think poorly of him despite his position "I am....just a little disappointed that you chose to ignore my order. But you made it back, safely, so I've nothing more to say. Did you find what you needed, seeing him?" he asked.

Kenji poofed a cheek out, relaxing after hearing he wasn't mad at her but did he have to look so sad? It was like looking at a wolf who had just been injured."I'm sorry Sypher...it's not that I wanted to disobey your order, but...I just needed to thank him...wouldn't you search someone out just to let them know you appreciate they saved your life? Yes I found what I needed...Kein said if I ever wanted to talk to him I just had to send a messenger hawk...if you dont want me too..then you can have the hawk...I know already you both hate each other but your both still very nice men."She fiddled with her ponytail that she moved over her shoulder, looking at him like a child would. She saw them both as someone to learn from, but she would shower later and ask her sensei about meditation.

Sypher didn't reply for a moment "Kenji....everyone who helped me in some way is dead or untouchable. I don't know if I would try or not." he replied honestly, his own mind wondering if he would. It wasn't like the ones who had saved him when he was young were alive anymore...and Apollo had long ago been thanked. That really left no one "I don't mind if you wish to send him a message now and then...and I won't take your bird." he shook his head and the clone slowly started to relay the information back to Sypher, not quite leaving yet as he bent to look Kenji in the eyes "I don't hate him, Kenji. Kein was my friend for many years...we were genin together and fought as Onin alongside each other in Kumogakure. But I want you to know this and I don't care if you don't believe me or not...just remember this. We're not nice men. Neither of us." he still had that sadness about him but he was resolute as he looked at her, determined that she would understand what he was saying...and even if she didn't now, hoped she'd at least trust that he knew himself as well as he knew Kein "We're both rogues, Kenji, rogues in the most violent of ways. And neither Kein nor I are guiltless when it comes to spilling blood. The only difference between us is that I have given up violence and Kein, I fear, has welcomed it. I don't hate him for his choice." Again, he was honest with her, blunt even, in hopes that she would be more careful with her life when she chose to disobey him again, which he knew she would at some point "Just...be careful, won't you? When you send Kein a message, send it to him from beyond the gates. Don't send anything from inside the village." Sypher straightened and the clone flickered a moment "I try to say this every time someone comes back from a mission and, sanctioned or no, yours was a mission. Welcome back, Kenji." the clone bowed and vanished, leaving Kenji alone.

Sebastian was running through the village, his predatory instincts alerting him to the chakra that was Sypher. He normally should have simply went back to the office and waited, but this was of the upmost importance to the kage, and he needed to be alerted first and foremost. Following his senses, Sebastian finally found the kage. He stood for a moment to allow the conversation to finish, then interjected his statement.
"Sypher Kage! The captive broke! I have the information for you....
This was so exciting....Sebastian's skills actually being useful.....

Flou looked to Jack as he spoke, his words were in riddles, which, in it's own way was vibrant and mystical, but rather odd. It interested Flou, but Flou was never excellent in riddles, this may be hard. Flou caught the first one, and the second took him a second, but he didn't understand Jack. But if he was to give him a descriptive analysis of what happened, Flou would most defiantly be lost. Flou looked over his shoulder to Mak, who looked startled, but was calming himself, glad to see Mak was learning quickly. Flou walked over to Shadow and Jack, his steps rather up beat, knowing Jack was now almost completely fine. He plopped himself down in front of him and leaned forwards to Jack, having his face only a foot away from his. Flou's aqua blue eyes examined Jack's and once done, Flou pointed at them."If I'm not mistaken, those are Sakkugan eye's right?" The reason Flou asked this was becuase he wanted to know if it was connected to the whole fiasco, plus, the more he knew about the eyes, the more he knew of Aki... If she ever returned. Flou looked to Shadow and then back to Jack, the two were an odd couple, they both had quirks; Shadow would never seem to speak to any but Jack, and Jack would only speak with riddles it seems without the aid of a jutsu. They were most likely drawn to each other, like two magnets that zinged when thrown at each other.
Just then, an unexpected, but rather relaxing persona entered into the field of view. Sypher MUTHA TRUCKIN' SAMA (couldn't help myself). Sypher glanced to Flou, but didn't not question him or ask him of his medicine practice, this was a big self esteem booster, with this, Flou knew he was only a few steps away from Jounin."Evening Sypher."Flou said with a smile. But then a damp and dark persona came in, Kiri's number one scare factor; Sebastian."Evening Sebastian, glad to hear your excited tone again. Haven't heard it since training in the caves so long ago."
Chakra Pool: 570/665______AC: 2950 Stamina Pool: 75/75______Ryo: 1200
Jack's eyes swiveled to Sypher's, nodding just slightly so as to acknowledge the Mizukage and to conserve as much energy as possible. From the stiffness in his leg he knew that Flou must have done some sort of damage to his lower body to break his Genjutsu. It would quickly explain it away, anyway. Turning his gaze to Shadow, however, Jack's smile finally returned to his face, the normal smile of knowing too much, but it also held a hint of gratefulness for the understanding Shadow always seemed to have for his riddled mind. He knew, though, that despite this understanding Shadow knew nothing of his past, and from the look on the young boy's face he was beginning to have a form of fear for the older shinobi. This pained Jack, who above all else wished for Shadow's love and care, even above his personal mission of bringing Truth to the Truthless, Justice to the Guilty, and so on. For fear to be present in those eyes was as a salt into an open wound for him. He had to explain.
Nodding shortly, he looked back to Flou before suddenly catching sight of someone else, someone he did not fear, but had respect for. A grudging one, in fact. Sebastian Crane, a madman that took a different path in madness than Jack had, was something of a rival to the Mad Carny. This man tortured others with sadistic design for the sheer love of pain and misfortune, whereas Jack experimented on others, tested them, to bring greater truth to their beings, in the end a truly benign purpose. Whereas the Doctor seemed destined to reap life from those whom he encountered, Jack's purpose would merely be to change the life of another for the better or worse, depending entirely on the choices of the individual themselves. A truly different take on life either way, he knew that if this man was here for the Mizukage with information than another had fallen victim to the rather perverse sadism this man inflicted on others. In all his dealings with the village, Jack had never once came up against this shinobi, likely for the reason that should such an event occur neither one of them would walk away unscathed.
However, his consideration was back to Flour and Sypher, Shadow and the male Kenji, all who awaited an answer as to what had happened here. Jack knew they needed these answers, but it took explaining something he had long kept silent about, due to his lack of clear knowledge on the subject and a clear endpoint to his internal mission. But, there was now no other choice but to speak. Closing his eyes and inhaling slowly, his chest rising but a bit, Jack began to speak, and with it came the overwhelming force of the Voice of Persuasion. "You ask what I know here, if I am alright. My question to you is whether or not you are ready to hear that answer. I have little time with this jutsu, and I suggest that you all Kai yourselves to immunity before I continue." He waited, his expression saddened, until all had done so or chosen to ignore his suggestion before he continued. "As for me, I am fine now. With the removal of the Jester's Death I am cured of an illness that would have taken my life most quickly. And for that, I thank you, Flou." Here he dipped his head in acknowledgment to Flou, thanking him for his hurried healing. But his next words were likely a shock.
"What had caused the virus, however, will not be so easily ended. To better explain what it is we face, I must give you a brief history lesson. Thousands of years ago a powerful nation rose to prominence. It rose far too fast, too quickly, to be anything other than a political stunt. Or at least, that was the thought. What it came to be known was that this nation was one of assassins of incredible destructive power. They were called the Plaguebearers." Here he stopped, licked his lips for moisture, and continued. "These men and women were born with a Kekkei Genkai and body that matched the filth of their souls. Their bodies were covered in lesions, pustules and other outward signs of disease and death, but they felt none of it. Within their body lies every virus, disease, or infection you have ever heard of and far, far more. Through their eyes, through a look, they can spread these plagues to the world. Such is the power of their Doujutsu." Jack reached down and took Shadow's hand, a clear sign that this jutsu was putting a strain on him. He had never talked so much, not ever, and to add to it that he was focusing his jutsu onto a single point on the ground? It was becoming too much.

Now that he knew where Kenji had been, Sypher felt a little....relieved. The information the clone had transferred to him from the young genin was exactly what he expected. He'd worry about what might have been said between Kein and Kenji later as Sebastian flew into the room "Good job, Sebastian." he said, his voice sincere. That Hotaka had been broken in so little an amount of time was a serious testament to Sebastian's skills and he was a bit proud of Sebastian, who was clearly pleased to have been of use "Give me a moment here and we'll go to the office to talk. Flou." he returned the medic's greeting with a slim smile then looked to Jack as the chuunin began to speak This is interesting but... walking forward abruptly and putting a hand on Jack's shoulder "Enough. I'm sorry I pushed for an answer." he apologized quietly, shaking his head. Jack was recovering, he reminded himself with a sharp mental slap to his own head, and none of them should be questioning him right now. He removed his hand and looked at Shadow then Jack again "Return to your home, Jack. Rest. When you feel strong enough, either come visit me to explain or simply write it down." he turned and looked at Flou "If you don't mind and if Jack is all right with it, accompany him to see that he's suitably healed. You did a good job, Flou. I'm glad you were in the office when Shadow came." motioning to Sebastian, Sypher left the room and stepped into the hall, moving down it as he went. He would pause several floors down to hear what Sebastian had to say.
((Al right. Still no internet at my home but I'm at work so I'll be around 7 and again around 915 for my lunch and 15minute break. I'll reply then.))

Sebastian nodded to Flou, but gave very little notice to him as a show of how important his information was. Waiting for the Kage to address him, he followed Sypher the several floors down to reveal the information.
"Ninchi and Lancan. You must get "Ninchi to get the others." I know its not much, but I wasn't fully briefed on the matters of this interrogation. Although...i did enjoy myself. Is this information useful, or should i go digging for more? I haven't ever said this to anyone...but um....Sypher Kage....thank you. I know i am strange, and my instincts seem off to other people...but i am glad you have found a use for me. I think having a predatory purpose is actually letting me grow...and evolve...."

Sypher seemed to lose all his color at the name 'Ninchi', his stomach rolling violently and his vision going a bit. He leaned against the wall, looking like he'd just been sucker punched "Ninchi....of course. It would have to be that b***h...." he breathed under his breath, one hand going to his stomach as he fought the rising bile. Taking a deeper breath, he looked up at Sebastian's offer of going for more and blinked in open surprise at the 'thank you'. Thinking over this for a moment, Sypher smiled at the chuunin "You got more information in a shorter period of time then I could have hoped for. Ninchi is the name of the trafficker that Hotaka reports to...and Lancan is the trade route they take." he leaned his head back, still fighting the emotions rolling through him at the mention of Ninchi "Sebastian..." he looked back down at him and chuckled just a little "You are strange. You're the first person in this village to thank me..." he was looking at Sebastian a little differently now, wondering if maybe the boy could become of further use in....other ways. A predatory nature without a conscience, if the rumors were true, was useful....very useful. But for now "I hope you continue to hone your skills. I intend to bring every one of these traffickers in and I'll need information from each one of them." he pushed off from the wall and dipped his head to Sebastian "Currently, Flou is the only one involved in this. He is the one who brought me Hotaka. But perhaps, since he intends a vacation, you might be able to do more then interrogate...." he tapped his long fingers to his lip, thinking about how Ninchi would react to Sebastian and a smile, a slim and hateful smile, spread across his face "That is, if you're all right with leaving the village from time to time...?" he asked, the smile dropping as he looked at Sebastian quizzically.

The kage's reaction was the first time, save the hospital but that was a usual place to see that, that he had witnessed an actual show of pain and weakness. Taking a small step forward to attempt to catch or help him, Sebastian stopped himself. Why did he do that? He never helped anybody! But certainly, the animal would care for the hand that feeds it...Sebastian offered a a shark tooth smile, going from ear to ear.
"I will always continue to hone my skills. The dark sciences are very impressive, and the more i dive into them the more i figure out about my skills. I have had a gift for them ever since i started my training as a ninja, and i am glad they seem to have found a use now."
Sebastian thought for a moment about leaving the village continually. It would mean less time in the lab, but every at the same time, it would be very useful for field research, observation, and material collection. Prehaps this was the opportunity Sebastian needed to go to the next level. "Sure, i woudlnt mind leaving the village from time to time. It would give me the option for field research and data collection as well, so I can kill two birds with one stone. You will probably have to change my clearance, so the ANBU at the gate dont get mad at me for constantly leaving, or flag me/report me for not returning to the village in the required amount of time....last time i went out on my cross country mission, the officer at the gate ******** lectured me how i was a chunnin and needed to be back within blah blah blah. I went cross country for ******** sake, what makes him think I could be back in a few days?"
Sebastian shook his head like he literally wanted to shake that memory clear from his brain.

Sypher wasn't sure what to make of Sebastian's motion earlier, tilting his head a bit before he replied "I'll talk to them." he replied and started walking off "I'm glad to hear that you're willing to go on some missions. I have some work to do still and my own information to gather. Take a rest, Sebastian." he said over his shoulder as he left. Once outside, Sypher took a deep breathe and then let it out before moving off.

Giving a small salute, sebastian bid the kage farwell. He figured he would give a moment of rest, then hit and hone his skills. He had ideas he wanted to perform...really trully hone his skills and sypher had requested.
"See you later Kage. I should be a new ninja soon..."

-----ιfell silent once more as my presence was more or less disregarded by those present, especially the kage and the one who followed him a moment later. Something about the man disturbed me, more than just his appearance. I felt that he was one I never wanted to stick around, not if I couldn't help it. -----Jack spoke, and I turned my attention back to him. I couldn't help but feel the same twinge of fear I felt before. Like before, I felt the compulsion to do something, but no action was defined, so the feeling faded. But it definitely had been there, and it didn't help in reminding me that I knew virtually nothing about Jack. He knew that realization, I could tell when he looked at me. -----My thoughts were distracted when he took hold of my hand again for comfort. He didn't enjoy this anymore than I did; he didn't like talking, just like me. But this was a serious topic. -----Or, at least, I'd thought so until the Kage dismissed Jack's warning like it were nothing, not worth the urgency it should have been. That flared my anger again. The fact that not one but two people had managed to anger me was a feat in itself. This was important! People could die, and the Mizukage apparently didn't care. -----So far, I didn't like the village's authority. I hadn't truly experienced it until then, but I honestly didn't want to, not after what I had seen so far. -----But the Kage's word was law, more or less. I doubted Jack would just go home after this. No, we still had other pressing matters to attend to, and we hadn't solved the first problem yet. Nonetheless, I pushed myself back to my feet, offering Jack a hand up. We could at least get a move on somewhere instead of sitting around like a bunch of rocks.

Flou looked to Sypher and felt pretty good, everyone was thinking him. Sypher and Jack, and maybe Shadow too, in his head, seeming as how he never spoke to anyone but Jack. Flou listened to Jack and listened and did as he was told, he Kai'd then listened more. No doubt these 'Plaguebearer's' were a large danger, Flou knew better than anyone... Someone with so many infections and diseases were dangerous, built upon a Kekkai Genkai too... Flou would definitely have to research the topic and look into it with Jack, seeming as how he was the only person to know the history of these people. As Sypher and Sebastian left, Flou turned to Jack and looked at him for a second, looking to his med kit, he began to fiddle and got some penicillin for Jack. "I don't know what you two are going to do next, hunt the Plagebearer's or rest..." Flou handed the container to Jack "Take that for the next week, in 10 hour lapses to make sure it's gone.." Flou said in the middle of his talk, just so Jack could get the medicine.
"But if you want Jack, I'd like to learn more about these Plaguebearer's, plus I need some more experience... so maybe we can help each other?" Flou looked at the two with a determined smile and closed his med kit.
Chakra Pool: 570/665______AC: 4300 Stamina Pool: 75/75______Ryo: 1200
Jack's eyes widened in shock at Sypher's dismissive posture here. How could the Mizukage, someone who was directly responsible for the health, well being, and general safety of all those who lived in the village, dismiss the threat of something that can create plagues with a look? The old and young, the already sick and recovering, were going to be the most effected by this creature, both the past and the future of this village! How could he? Did he truly not care about anyone? Had Jack so poorly misjudged the Mizukage so thoroughly, despite his mastery of understanding people?
But then a far, far darker possibility came to Jack's mind, something that kept his tongue stilled and his hands where they lay.
Could Sypher know?
Could the Mizukage truly already know of this threat, and thus be perpetuating the situation? Could it perhaps be that the Mizukage was behind the existance of this beast, or at least in support of its continued existance? The possibilities were truly innumerable, with the number of possible conspiracies and hidden plots far outnumbering any logical, or reasonable, conclusion. If this were the truth, if this Mizukage was in fact someone who saw the benefits of ruling Kirigakure no Sato with the iron grip of terror, then his future in this village would swiftly come to a silent, and grisly, end. More so, it meant that Shadow, Flou, and the innocents of this village were under dire threat.
Jack could not let this be, if it were true. He had to find out, and he considered how as the Kage left with the one known as Sebastian.
Looking to Shadow as the boy stood slowly, emotions flickering across his expression and in the depths of his eyes, he knew that these thoughts would only upset the boy more. No, there were things that needed doing, and for the moment Jack had a mission that needed doing. Several, in fact.
Looking to Flou, Jack nodded slowly in acceptance of the boy's question. His jutsu was slowly fading, and thus he could still speak. Time was running out, however, and his thoughts, while important, were taking that precious time away. So he spoke instead, his expression still that of a smile, though it was strained. "I will take the medicine you have prescribed, and I accept that you, at least, see the danger this creature poses. I ask that you come to my home tonight, so we may discuss, but for now I must go finish our other missions. We need to stop this creature, but I believe it is a dangerous threat far too powerful for us to deal with right now. Thus, I will take Shadow on further missions until he is of Chunin skill, and I a Jounin. You are welcome to assist us, after we talk tonight."
With that Jack made to stand, reaching for Shadow's to assist him while likewise grabbing his cane with the other. As soon as he was upright he looked to Shadow, and his smile became natural once more. "What is our next mission?" Already the power of his jutsu was fading, as was shown by the receding power of the Genjutsu.
[Mission Completed: Illness :: III]
It was at this point that the girl known as Kenji, the girl who felt the callings of the scarlet nectar that bred life and sentience into humans all over the world, felt a stirring within her. A pulse, an ethereal calling that resounded within the halls of her mind and soul, came from deeper in the complex. It was the pull of blood, the same blood she had seen before, but she could feel it further. Somehow the blood itself seemed to be speaking to her...almost like a dream...
Come...Let us...Be as one...Feast with us...See our art...
The blood called to her, called into her heart, into her soul, to the very part of her she kept hidden. And it brought her, moved her feet, brought her shuffling with eyes glazed towards its heart.
And she found it, hidden in a room, midst a pool of blood too large to have come from a single individual.
There he stood, a body in his arms dessicated beyond belief, death having come to the individual so quick its arms and legs were limp, as if sleeping, unable to defend itself.
And his eyes, twin orbs of sickened green and yellow, turned to her with malice that so curdled her blood that it might likely stiffen her spine.
He towered over her, red light flaring from where the pupils should have been, with a face marred by lesions and blemishes that left not a single speck of flesh exposed that was not infected. His footsteps thundered within her head, matching vibrations running through her bones.
And he spoke.
"Who are you?"
