Welcome to Gaia! ::

Akira and the genins had followed Mai under his judgement. He wasn't sure what Mai might do in this distressed state. Ryuuko had managed to move up next to Mai and asked her, "You said Sabu-san was in your vision..are you sure he's hurt? That would my dad really upset. He knew Sabu since a long time ago, I've got o meet him a few times, he's real nice." Ryuuko was rambling a little, but being a kid he didn't realize it.

Ryuuko smiled, "I hope so too, I don't want my dad to sad." Hotaru jumped up beside the two and said, "I don't see why your worried, they're a kage and a powerful Hyuuga, what could possibly beat them together?" Shuuki landed on top of him at that causeing him to stumble and crash into a trunk as she said, "Why are you sooo incencative? Get a eart you jerk." "Ow, that hurt," Hotaru said as he got up and rumbed a large lump.

Hotaru looked as if he was about to do something but Akira appeared and grabbed them by the legs and said, "Get along will you?" before putting them upright and contiuning along with them taking up position behind him again, trading eye daggers.

Muuga was quite attuned to his snake like chakra and exuded it liberally to cover his hostage's own. He smelled Kenji on his way, and he snarled. I didn't expect him to notice so quickly. I wanted to make him suffer...
"If you don't want to die young one, I sssugesst you do asss I sssay..." he hissed quietly.

Rio had his head on the ground, ear place directly on the dirt as he listened to something. Then he got up and pick up some dirt sniffing it before letting it drop. He look up at the trees, seeing how singed they were at the tops, some of the taller ones were actually burn off below a certian height. He pulled out a container of powder and blew it over the area. He saw hundreds of foot prints. A fight, big one, he thought as he traced the foot prints to get an idea of what had happened. He saw a large bird foot print and thought, Mokiba, Sabu can summon him...damn, this figght covered a lot of ground, there were signs of a fight earlier to. BUt with Sabu i guess I should expect that his fight would be big. They keep moveing off to the west as they battled, and that scorhing is getting more prominent...

Rio continued to move off catiously toward the distant, final clash site, dreading what he might find. Then he came up on a shear wall of wood. Ohmu jutsu? He though as he placed his hand on the bark and felt the massive charka running through it. No, Sabu, I must be getting close. It could use the bio-integration...no, I've got to conserve charka, i might need that late as well. Got to do this the hard way. With that Rio pulled out a pair of gloves with metal claws at the tips. He flexed his hands the metal making a meashin sound. He put on two spiked edges to his shoes and then began his climb, making mand and foo holds for himself.

"Oh no..." Kenji breathed out. He's alive Kenji... his chakra flow... it's still there. Kenji walked forward, wanting to get to his son. Kenji!! Don't do it. The captor might have a trap for you!!! But Kenji didn't listen, he went ahead.

"I'm coming Ryuu..." Kenji, wait!!! That's not him!!
What do you mean Rai? Of course it's him!!! Kenji continued on walking towards Ryuujin...

Kenji quickly drew out Karahime and Kakimaru out in a flash and blocked the large sword. When he recieved the blow, he got pushed back several feet. "Damn it..." He eyed the sword, and it looked so familiar. "Zasu..Maru..." whispered Kenji. "What have you done with Ryuujin!!!"
