Welcome to Gaia! ::

[yay people and life <33 ps Kai is 21 XD]

Kai stared wonderingly at the chaos around him as some kid seemed to be engaged in a dodgeball game with apparent disregard for the property and people around him. He'd have to stay away from this guy... Looking around for a safe place, his eyes landed on a girl (Shizuka) who looked nervous at their presence. Well Kai couldn't blame her, they were foreign after all. Who knew what they would do was what he would have been thinking if he was in her position. As he moved his gaze away, seeing that he was making her scared, he noticed a guy moving towards her and eventually moving towards them. Well, these people were either very hospitable or were preparing some sort of direct upfront attack. He just probably just being paranoid, though.

He was just about to meet their eyes to a) check what their intent was and b) smile gratefully if they were helpful when he felt something barrel into his sides. Kai was sent sprawling rather comically (distorted expressions and all) to a corner. He was up in an instant yelling, "Hey, what gives, man?!" when he realised that a) he was in a foreign village that may not take kindly to outbursts like that and b) that guy looked kind of familiar even though he had never seen him before... and c) damn it was cold.

Mawagi had just been about to relax and lie down despite catching a whiff of a feline scent... except that it was from a girl. Maybe that girl liked cats, or something. Mawagi wasn't about to attack anybody that smelt like cats on the street since there were too many and it would endanger her and Kai. Anyway, she had been about to relax, content to let Kai deal with all the navigating and questions (her leg twitched a little as she entered dreams of chasing cats). But of course all that was shot to hell when some guy knocked into them both. Kai was sent somewhere far away and Mawagi, being asleep, couldn't exactly dodge it so she too suffered the same fate. She was up on her feet in an instant and gave a throaty snarl. It was the snarl of a woman on PMS after being disturbed from her beauty sleep.

Ame yawned lightly as she lifted herself up from her bed. The sun comming through her window shined brightly in her eyes. Damn light... wait... where am I? My house? How did I get here...? Turning to look around, she spotted Zanza, asleep, in a corner. Ahhh... figures... I must have fallen asleep on the way back... Getting up slowly, she walked over to his side, nudging his shoulder gently. Hmmm... maybe I should let him sleep?

((Corrected Zephyr’s first impression of Kai. xDD Since the refugee’s thread here kinda went missing...and that was the only place I had posted Zephyr’s profile... U.U For reference, he’s mid 30s age-wise but as a lab-born experiment...his aging stopped after the adolescent years. So he's stuck at eighteen/nineteen. To stop questions, he has an odd habit of henging into a little kid version of himself when flustered or just playing around. His students, Yokou and Shikamori are 29, into their 30th year.))

Zephyr clutched his already smarting head, as Shinratsu had aimed a rock splat on the exact same injured spot. He poofed almost instinctively into his child form. “See, this is why I don’t like Kiri brats!” He howled, still clutching his stinging head, and hopped sideways (alternating feet) in pain. ”Hey sensei...” A certain Nara’s monotone drifted into the corner. “Is that some kind of new sport...? Eh...? Yokou! Yokou? Get a grip on yourself! Oi...?” As he came into view, it was certain that Shikamori wasn’t alone. He was dragging his Hyuuga teammate along with him by the hand, who was (rather depressed-looking) muttering something about a flying horse and their poor Kage.

Shika heaved a short sigh. Apparently, Yokou hadn’t taken it too well...still in shock was a better word... The Tsuchikage was an odd man...and though he did help them bring back their Hokage (more like forcibly plucked off the road by a winged horse and left the poor guy (now unconscious) in Iwa hospital...details be omitted)...

Yokou’s mind was not on earth. She was blankly staring at Kai. The hair should be a lighter colour...and longer too... The Hyuuga head of family blinked her eyes in surprise. Why such a thought? Hm...the eyes...if they were paler...and if he was shorter... “He...looks like...Irihi.” She murmured quietly, after a long moment of observation. At the fact that Yokou had spoken coherent words for the first time since the traumatic afternoon, Shikamori perked up. But only to stare at her as if she lost her mind as she muttered Kai looked like a certain Chuunin member of her clan...

Not missing her teammate’s insecurity, Yokou pressed on. “Isn’t that right, sensei?” Zephyr had stopped hopping. Poof. He regained his normal appearance now busy peering in Kai’s direction. “Hey! You’re right...he does look a lot like Irihi-chan. Even down to that loud, obnoxious voice.” At this, Shikaenja sweatdropped and gave a light cough. “Um...sensei...no offense intended...but you’re the obnoxious one.”

In another poof of smoke, Zephyr had regained child-Zephyr form. “Who are you calling obnoxious?!” The “small boy” yelled indignantly. “Behold! For I am the great Zephyr - the Prowling White Tiger of Konoha’s jewel, the Senju clan of the forest - ...” This time, however, both Yokou and Shikamori interrupted simultaneously. One an irritated yell and the other a miffed reminder. “We heard that speech enough times already!”

Ame gave him a sympathetic smile and moved away. "Sorry to disturb you... if you want... you can lay on the bed. I'm gonna make some breakfast..." She gave him a bigger smile and got up.

[[sorry about the refugee profile thing proto. i just moved it to the archive. Hmmmm and your all in one good clean spot...excelent...makes this easier for me.]]

What a hell of a day this was becoming. Roy noticed the streets below were beginning to fill with an asortment of people that he recognized and others that he should be greeting. Of course, with a group of crazed ANBU chasing you, you tend to worry about the last little bit more than the first. Even members of the Konoha group had taken to the street in a rather...livly display that almost riviled the little trouble he was in...almost.

The shuriken of Baka Black weren't something to be triffled with. They didn't travel like normal ones, no. He had an extreamly high amount of control over his chakra and was even able to apply his chakra to his shurikens and other projectile to manipulate their trajectory and other things, even speed them up or slow them down if he wanted but only to slight degrees the further they got away from him. This was more than enough for this game though and, as one can surmise, more than enough for some battles. At the very least it'd give him a bit of a surprise tactic over some enemies. The large, hulking man was always assumably the physical power house of the group and, although he made for a great grappler, he wasn't hte physically strongest member of the group. No, he was more the artsy oddball out of all the oddballs. Hard to believe of course but it was still true.

The shuriken he flew at Roy had already begun to shift and move as if they were alive, every flowing closer to Roy and every more dangerous. Eventually, they began to strike. It was only a matter of prediction that Roy was able to pick out the first ones final trojectory, a downward swipe from his upper right side. He was able to side step it but, unfortunatly, it was meant to be predictable as the moment he moved that way, he felt the stinging cut of anothr shuriken slice past his left arm. A quick spin kept the theird one from striking but the fourth shuriken still struck home right on his right shoulder. It wasn't a deep hit but still it hurt like hell.

Another surprise was coming his way as Baka Blue began to try and charge him dead on. It was an obvious manover so Roy was able to back away form it pretty quickly. Thats when he noticed that his pathway was starting to narrow...ahh hell...the gate of the village He realized where he was and what a predicament he was in. A quick spin to make a dash for it was proven futile as Baka Green had already appeared on the opposite side of the gate. Only two were in his sites...where the hell were Pink and Black? he couldn't see them and that was dangerous...But of course, he had mroe important things to worry about.

Near the gateway, a gathering had begun. Two people from out of the village ( Kai and Mawagi) were having a conversation with some other folks of the village. Apparently something had happened, Roy didn't see what but he knew it couldn't be good because the one he recognized as Katagi seemed to be yelling and fussing at one of the Konoha group, Zephyr The old farts company had even gather up. It appeared that the two he had come to call Shiki-boy and Bright Eyes were together. Why Shikamori was carrying Yokou was beyond Roy but still it was happening. And further more...why was that girl Shizuka avoiding the dog that had traveled in with the other person?

Bah, too much to try and figure out at once and too much trouble to deal with all at once. Roy was about to make a move untile he realized...he couldn't. Well, he couldn't move under his own accord. The damn ANBU were at it again. Using the jutsu of the village that allowed one to controle stone, they began to dislodge the major corner stones of the gate. The bridge that was over the gate began to shift and shake as the stones began to give way. However, it stopped suddenly...that's when he realized what was really going on. Only Baka Blue was dislodging the stones, Baka Green was actually controlling the now loose section of bridge. He began to shift it away from the rest of the bridge that was still in tact, to keep Roy from being able to jump towards the rest of it for safty and to protect himself from what was happening next.

When they were safely away fromthemselves, they began their attack, a barrage of about 9 stones came flying at Roy. They were flying high so going over them would be hard to do but that was just a distraction for the actual event was that...well...he didn't ahve a bridge tos tand on for much longer. Green had begun to crumble the bridge in quite a quick fashion which only menat huge stones would begin to fall...right on the group that had gathered below... Roy had to get away but he had to help too...Ahhh hell this was a day from there too...

"Hey..." Yokou's rather neutral tone broke the awkward silence that followed. A single finger pointed above. "That surely isn't under 'common everyday occurances', correct...?" Personally, Yokou was not at all perturbed. Though a downside of using Kaiten here would mean every person within a 10 feet radius from her would be blown far, far away.

"Eh? What common - UNDER FIRE AWAY!" At first Zephyr's sentence started rather calmly. But in the next moment, he was in his ridiculous henge again, screaming on the top of his lungs while pointing at the falling rocks. Shikamori scowled. "Forget that and DO SOMETHING!!"

Cp: 1607/2062

"But which one (technique)?" Zephyr was apparently panicking...rock slides weren't exactly a common sight back at Konoha. "Eh...eh...what about THIS ONE!" A giant Mokouton fist erupted from the ground, right under where Shika happened to have stood. For the second time that day, Nara Shikamori was knocked yonder over the horizon.

"Eh?! Oh no (expression: O.O)! Wrong one!!"

((a few moments later...))

"Poor Shika..." Yokou muttered, shaking her head. "And sensei...what are you going to do about this...?" An outward zoom. Zephyr appeared to have remodeled the area...as sharp wooden beams, almost like the tree giants the Senju could create with their Birth of Dense Woodland...now decorated this particular area of Iwa...the beams converging to form an entangled cage of support to shield off the larger rocks. Here and there smaller rock fragments still fell...but that was ok...preferable to what could've happened.

(love your posts roy. you seem to have found a very effective way to get ppl's atention)

Zanza moved a little more before sitting up. " Beds are....." he saidscratching his head and rubbing his face to wake himself up. " Over rated.........." He said pushing aginst the wall to stand up. He began to walk over to her bed with his eyes barely open when he said "......... I haven't slept in one since......." Thats when he just about fell asleep falling on the bed. He made it all the way to it and pulled himself up cuddleing with a pillow as he murmered the final word " Kusa " he said falling asleep with a slight smile on his face from the softness of the pillow.


After pulling himself out of the crumbled remains of the building that he had been unwillingly flung into, Hiei began dusting himself off and began running down the road once more. He practiced some of his parkour moves on his way home, with baylonka acasionaly jumping down from his shoulder to do a bit of practice with him. " I wonder where that girl got off to? " he asked baylonka who just whined once.
