Takera turned to look back over his shoulder. "I agree. It looks like they were able to pick up on the tracks we left for them. I have a feeling that someone familiar is near." Takera said after hearing Sorain's words. He chose not to respond to the mention of his plan and the swords. He said enough that questions weren't necessary. Takera slowed down alongside Sorain and Zeru turning to face behind them. He waited and watched rather intently. Takera let out a drawn out yawn as he waited. He looked around taking the area around them in. The ground was very moist, almost muddy in areas and rain came from time to time.

Drake kept running through the woods, when he saw something up ahead; more footprints. Drake slowed down to a walk, then stopped just before he got to them. As he approached them, he saw that these were not as destroyed as the others, and there was no rain since he got closer to the border, so he knew that these footprints were fresh. He looked at them, then noticed that there were at least three pairs of prints, so three people had passed by. Drake noticed that they were relaxed, and more clustered, suggesting that they were walking. Drake stood up and started thinking. Were these three ninja who were on a journey for the Swords? or a caravan of a sort? or just a scouting group for Rain? Drake thought about it. He dismissed the idea of a caravan. There were no marking of a wagon or any mule prints or any other beasts of burden. He almost dismissed the idea of a scouting party, but held onto that one. These prints were roughly the same size as the prints he saw back near the Rain/Earth border, though those were nearly damaged by the rain, so he could be off. It was either scouts, or ninja looking for the sword. Or maybe travlers. Drake knew he was going to find out sooner or later, so he pressed on.
Drake walked along the path that the prints were on, hoping to find whoever made them. He had a feeling that they were close, as the prints were still clustered, meaning they were still walking. As he walked along, he felt the presence of Harbinger in the back of his mind. 'Be wary.' he said, 'I feel others ahead of you, close as well. Two smaller, strong chakras, and One large one, and more dangerous than the others'. Then, Harbinger was silent again. Drake didn't know what that meant, but the intention was clear. Three individuals, and they were powerful. Well, powerful compared to him. As he walked along, he saw a small clearing up ahead, and as he got closer, he noticed three people standing there. As he approached them, he slowed down. He saw that each of them were walking, and he heard faint talking from where he was standing, probably talking amongst themselves. Then, one of them turned toward his direction. Then another, then all of them were looking at him. And, he saw that one of them was the Sharingan-user from the ramen shop. For some reason, Drake had a feeling he would see him again. Then, since they were all aware he was close, he decided to walk toward them. He was no threat to any of them, though he was keeping Harbingers warning in his mind. Drake looked up, but didn't move his head. He noticed that clouds were forming above. 'Curse whoever decided to scatter the seven swords around the world' Drake thought. For some reason, Drake heard Harbinger laugh.

Sorain kept his attention close to where Drake was approaching. Though his eyes were closed, he got an instant feel of his presence with each step he took. Sorain silently cursed at himself for having left his head wrap back in frost. It was such a strain having to consciously keep his eyes closed. Being blind came with many more drawbacks than the obvious, because he could not see he would often forget when his eyes were open and not realize until he got the painful sensation of his eyes drying out. It was like a rude slap to the back of the head for loosing his focus for even a few moments. Sorain took a step forward, the area around his body began to glow bright blue as the moisture in the air began to freeze over into a solid brick of glass like ice which Sorain entire body molded with.
At the same time, Drake began to become surrounded by the same type of Ice bricks, closing off his entire area. Sorain had consciously formed his ice mirrors as tightly as he could around Drakes immediate area. Causing a chilling drop in the air temperature, resulting in a thick misty substance from the air radiating off the ice freezing over rapidly. Slowly and placidly Sorain took another step out of one of the bricks, placing himself directly behind Drake. With a quick spin of his heal Sorain slung a single Kunai towards one of the mirrors, causing it to mold instantly and be flung out from another location until there was what appeared to be thousands of Kunai circling around before eventually landing itself right back in Sorains hand. "Unless you can dodge this blade 1,000 times. You made a very big mistake following me" Sorain said with a grim persona. Who was this guy? Who would have such balls as to track him so openly? With the bounty that was on his head, he was sure that this was someone looking to cash in easily, pfft. They must have never heard why he had a bounty out in the first place.

Takera watched as someone became visible in the distance. The air was moist and condensation had begun to form on Takera's mask. Using the sleeve of his coat he wiped the condensation off the mask. He heard movement in the distance and immediately Sorain reacted. Ice began forming all around the area of the person who followed them. Kunai were everywhere. Takera pulled out a canteen of water he had picked up back in Earth before their departure. He pulled off his mask and pulled out the canteen. He took a swig of the water watching all the ice form. He thought to himself how nice it would be to just make things like that happen. Before things got hectic, the person following them had gotten within seeing distance. Takera got a look at the Leaf Shinobi's face as the ice was forming and Kunai began to form in the air. Surprised that the Leaf Shinobi had arrived on their trail confronting them, he spewed his water out and started to cough. "What the hell are you doing here?!" Takera exclaimed as he pulled out a small cloth from his bag and wiped his face. Takera's mind filled with thoughts of their first encounter. Had he not been as hungry as he was, he might've never broken the staring contest that had apparently insued without any words back at the ramen shop. Thinking back on it Takera never expected to see him again so soon. By the looks of it, if Takera didn't do something soon then Sorain was going to end his life very abruptly where he stands. He wondered why Sorain materialized such an overkill setup of an ice trap on the Leaf Shinobi. It seemed to Takera that Sorain's eyes weren't as blind as he let on. He could definitely see. Infact, he could see just as well as any of them; maybe even better. With his sharingan he should've been able to see whether or not the Leaf Shinobi was a threat or not. Was Sorain really that paranoid or did he have some sort of plan? Either way Takera needed to interject or this poor shinobo was going to be swissed. Takera had to ponder why the shinobi was the one who followed them though. Did he finish his business with the Earth country or was he really just there as a tourist? If that were the case, then why follow them after their last confrontation? Did he really mean to track them and do so in such an open fashion or did he just happen to find the tracks they purposely left behind and his curiousity got the better of him? Something wasn't quite right about this, but there'd be time for questions after Takera prevented his untimely demise. He wasn't going anywhere any time soon given the circumstances.
Takera placed the mask and cloth back into seperate portions of his bag and placed his hand on Sorain's shoulder. "He's nothing close to a threat to you. At ease, Sorain." He said as he began to walk forward down the path towards the Leaf Shinobi. He crossed into the field of ice and was now only 5 feet away from the Leaf Shinobi. "Why'd you follow us? And if you tell me you're here to fight us, I'm going to slap you." Takera placed the cap on the water and tossed it back to Zeru. Takera looked around at all the kunai and ice around them. A sweatdrop coming down the back of his head. Good to know that as long as Sorain is around we'll never go thirsty. Takera thought as he smirked and reached up plucking one of the ice kunai from the air. He looked over it, but held it by the handle-based area waiting to see what the Leaf Shinobi's actions would be.

Sorain grunted at Takeras words, of course was not a threat. Had he forgotten that it took nearly an entire army of Shinobi to even have the slightest chance of winning against him? Surely a single Shinobi would be smart enough than to fight him one on one. Sorain knew very well that this unknown ninja posed no threat, but there was more danger to be had than what Takera had considered. There was a large bounty on his head, and them as well through association. Having someone follow them, threat or not, was something that Sorain could not simply ignore. All it took was for the wrong people to catch wind of where he was, to find out that Sai was no longer with him, to find out that they were all scattered. Such knowledge would cause wave after wave of Shinobi to fall upon their location in a matter of moments. The simple truth was, at this moment Sorain was more vulnerable than he would like to be. "Seems like you two know each other, find filling me in before I send a few blades through his body." he said while allowing his mirrors to shatter into ice that fell calmly to the ground before standing straight up like spikes that spewed through the earth.

Drake saw that the three were still watching him as he approached them. He saw that two of them had white-blue hair, except the middle one, who had just white hair. As he got closer to them, he saw that the Uchiha was drinking from a cantine, when he saw Drakes face. He then burst out the water, and said "What the hell are you doing here?!". The Uchiha then pulled out a cloth to clean himself up, still looking at him with a surprised face. Then Drake stopped as he saw that the area around the middle one was beginning to glow bright blue. Suddenly, ice formed near him, and a thin, glass-like brick of ice appeared. As Drake watched, he saw that the middle guy stepping into it, molding with the ice. 'What the-' Drake started to think to himself, then other thin ice formed around him, making a small circle. Drake saw that they were not just thin bricks, but refelctive mirrors. Ice mirrors. Then Drake felt a presence appear behind him, and knew it was that middle guy. Quickly, the guy pulled a kunai into his hand and threw it into a mirror. Then, faster than when it was thrown, it came out of another mirror, then into another, then out the next. Each time it did, it went faster, then formed ice kunai that were pointing at him from many directions. Surprisingly, the original kunai did not touch him, but kept going in and out of the mirrors. After a few moments, the middle guy caught the kunai, and there were many ice ones pointing at Drake. "Unless you can dodge this blade 1,000 times, you made a very big mistake following me." the guy said behind him. Drake looked around himself for a moment. There was no escape from this cage he was in. And he doubt he could dodge all of it anyhow. Then, Drake heard the Uchiha say "He's nothing close to a threat to you. At ease, Sorain." Now Drake knew the overkill guys name. 'Sorain. Never heard of it.' Drake thought to himself. Then he saw the Uchiha start to walk to him, walking past the ice mirrors till he was at least a few feet away. "Why'd you follow us?" the Uchiha said to Drake, "And if you tell me your here to fight us, I'm going to slap you". The Uchiha then tossed his cantine back to the third one. Then, he plucked one of the ice kunai from the air, holding it, but not pointing it at Drake. None the less, Drake knew that he was prepared to strike at him, plus the fact that he was still surrounded by kunai and the Sorain guy was not helping. Drake took in a breath, speaking his next words carfully. "My name is Drake. I left the Earth country just a few days ago. After I passed the border into Rain, I had found tracks, but were mostly destroyed by the storm. Later, I had found other, but fresher tracks, leading this way. I didn't know who left them, but it was obvious it was a small group. I followed them here, and now here I am. Though this wasn't what I expected to meet." He waited a moment to see any reaction, then said "I'm not here to fight, if that's what your thinking." Drake then waited to see what they were going to do.
Drake then heard the guy Sorain behind him say "Seems like you two know each other, find filling me in before I send a few blades through his body." Then the Ice mirrors shattered around himself, falling into the ground, sticking straight out like icy spikes in the ground. Drake decided to see if the Uchiha was going to say anything.

Takera stared at the Shinobi for a while sizing him up. His chakra wasn't any more-so active than a traveler's, but he had more chakra than a normal person. Takera took the ice kunai into his hand firmly and as he concentrated, cracks instantly began running through the kunai until suddenly it burst forth in shards across the ground infront of the Leaf Shinobi. Takera was midly entertained that his nature affinity of wind hadn't dulled in from lack of use, but soon he turned his attention to the Leaf Shinobi once more as he began to speak. "My name is Drake. I left the Earth country just a few days ago. After I passed through the border towards Rain, I had found tracks, but they were mostly destroyed by the storm. Later, I had found fresher tracks leading this way. I didn't know who left them, but it was obvious it was a small group. I followed them here, and now here I am. Though this wasn't what I expected to meet." Drake said as he locked eyes with Takera once more. Takera seemed to take this incident too lightly while Sorain had gone overboard. Zeru remained a silent neutral factor so far. Maybe he had been deep in thought or perhaps he just didn't want to say anything? Takera sighed and made his way over to a tree nearby, weaving in and out of the ice. He pressed his hand to the trunk of the tree in an odd manner causing the oxygen between his hand and the tree to be less than 6%. Quickly pulled his hand back he caused the base of the tree to explode in a sense. After the tree had fallen over Takera pressed his hands in seperate sections using his wind chakra to split the tree in different ways. Half the tree had been turned into half-logs for them to sit on and the other half became firewood. Takera slowly brought the wood to the base area around Drake setting up the halves in a box shape around himself and Drake. He then proceeded to split the other set of wood into smaller chunks and logs. He carried the wood over and placed it at the center of the 4 logs and made a few handseals. Takera took a deep breathe in keeping the final seal in tact and then leaned forward and released placing one hand in the form of a half-seal up to his mouth. "Katon, Goukakyuu No Jutsu!" Takera released a wave of fire over the logs at the center. Shortly after the logs were engulfed in flames they lit forth and they had a camp fire setup. "Take a seat," Takera said to Sorain as he looked over his shoulder. "The worst case scenario is that we'll force him to tag along with us. Once done he'll be in the same position that you put my brother and I in, Sorain. If that happens, he won't have a choice in the matter if he cares what will happen to him." Takera said as he sat down across from Drake. Takera pulled a small pan from his bag and held it up. "Can we get a bit of water, Sorain?" Takera said as he stared into the fire.

Sorain raised his eye brow at the notion, as well as the theatrics that Takera had just pulled off in an obvious attempt to mock his own. Things were progressing a little bit faster than he had anticipated. One of his goals was to form a team of Missing Nin, but not this way. Not a group of ninja that he had taken by force, how would he build a utopia based on such principles? Sorain seriously contemplated his options, killing the boy would bring unnecessary fire on his location. It was a simple fact of logic that if a young Shinobi were to turn up missing or dead the first to be blamed would be the notorious rouge ninja from Kirigakure. For now the only safe course of action was to take Takeras advice for force Drake to follow them, at which case he would simply need to either come back to that village and destroy the kids records, or be seen somewhere together and have word get back saying that Drake had just gone rouge. Sorian turned his head to the side and pointing his circled hand in the direction of the flame before blowing a gust of wind expelling the fire, turning it into a cloud of blueish white steam. "Very well. We will roll with us for now, Ill figure out what to do with him later. I could drop all of you anytime I want so whats the difference right?" He said faking humor and returning onto the path towards Fire. He needed to make a pit stop there, and he was now currently trying to decide if he should allow them to follow him their, or should he just send them on forward and hope they dont make a break for it. Did he trust them to not try and flee? Especially not the newest member of their little team. Sorain sighed, it was times like this that he seriously wished he had just killed them both and saved himself the trouble.

Zeru simply stood at watched everything as it unfolded trying his best to keep up with the conversation but he seemed to be disinclined. He didn’t care really Sorain seemed to favor his brother which was fine, Zeru was more inclined to take order’s rather than give input about them it had always been the way he was a loyal solider but Zeru was starting to wonder where his own loyalties lay he was no longer part of any village and he was traveling with a psycho, going all around the world. He thought about it for a while and decided his loyalties lay with his brother the one person he could always truly trust to look out his best interests, He knew Takera would always make decisions that benefited both of them, they where a team after all. Although it seemed to be Takera’s idea to bring this new guy along which it seemed Sorain was not to keen on but he agreed anyway, which was fine. “Is it time to move the further we get from Rain the better.” Zeru said as he stretched and waited for the others to get ready.

Drake stood where he was for awhile, hoping for a quick end to this whole thing. The Uchiha had stared at Drake for a few moments, then he walked over to a nearby tree, placing his hand on it. Then, after a few moments, the tree seemed to just fall over. Drake wondered how the Uchiha did that, when the guy then used his chakra to split the tree into several logs, seeming to be for everyone to sit on, then the rest was made into firewood. After a moment, the Uchiha did a few hand-seals, then said "Katon, Goukakyuu No Jutsu!", starting a fire with the firewood. The Uchiha then turned to Sorain, saying "Take a seat". The Uchiha then sat down, and told Sorain that the worst case is that they take Drake with them, and that once there done Drake would be in the same position as his brother and him are in. 'So,' Drake thought to himself, 'These two are brothers, and they are forced to follow this Sorain. I see.'After a moment, Drake heard the Uchiha ask Sorain for some water. Drake turned his head toward Sorain to see what he would do. After a moment, Sorain lifted his hand, and a gust of wind blew out the fire. "Very well. We will roll with us for now, Ill figure out what to do with him later. I could drop all of you anytime I want so whats the difference right?" Drake heard Sorain say to the Uchiha. Drake let a sigh. It was over for now. But for how long? Drake still needed to follow up on the lead the old man from Earth gave him. If he's stuck with these guys, it would probably take awhile before he could follow it up. But, the best move right now would to willingly go with them. He would just have to wait till he had a chance to run from them before heading for Water. After Drake thought this, he heard the third guy finally talk, asking everyone “Is it time to move the further we get from Rain the better.” Drake agreed silently. Standing about near his home country wasn't the best idea. All it would take is a traveler, or a scouting group to see them and all hell would break loose. Drake looked over to the Sorain guy and the Uchiha, asking "So then. Where are we heading?".

Takera watched as the fire was blown out. He let out a slight sigh and rose from where he sat, placing the pan into his bag. Takera watched as the steam came from where the fire once resided. He looked back at Zeru and Sorain as Zeru began to speak. "Is it time to move? The further we get from Rain the better." Zeru said. "I guess we're going to continue moving then." Takera remarked as he turned back to face Drake once more. "So then, where are we headed?" Drake asked. Takera slung his pack over his shoulder. "That's for Sorain to decide, I suppose. We'll just have to wait and see." Takera said as he stepped over the half log. He proceeded to make his way over to Sorain and Zeru. "I take it we're going now? What's the plan?" Takera said questioningly.

Sorain rubbed his head at the group that he was faced with. How did he get here? One moment he was traveling with just his brother, then he had a huge a** crew behind him, then the next thing he knows hes back to being alone and withen a day or so built up another crew. Maybe it was just his charm? The thought alone humored even himself. "Takera, what information did you find out about the Swords?" He questioned before he actually made a dicision as to where they would travel to next. He hoped that the sword was somewhere nearby because he really was getting tired of traveling back and forth with no sort of benefit to doing so. As soon as he got these swords together he was looking forward to settling in one area for a little while and setting some roots, at least temporarily. "I do need to make a pit stop in Fire to gather some supplies. Where out of food, and we all need to change our clothing. Ill also see about stealing us a few Head Bands from Fire" With fake head bands, at least if they should ever be spotted they would be described as a group of rouges from Fire, and not a group of Rouges from Water. Sorain sighed to himself, the mighty honor of Kirigakure was a sham and he always knew it, but now the world was about to know it. They were having traitors left and right, some more willing than others. Sorain wondered what type of measures Kirigakure would take against such things.. More likely than not the country would go back under a closed boarder policy, but it was entirely too early for such a thing. To declare closed boarders the Diyamo would need to be contacted, which could easily take months to get approved.

Takera made one last check over everything as he got ready to depart with the group. He reached down and grabbed one of the spare log pieces that were meant for the fire. He turned it to the right looking over it and then to the left giving it a looking over. Solid proper wood, huh? The tree I cut down was better than I thought. I can use this to work on my nature chakra manipulation. Takera thought as he looked the piece of wood over. Takera's head raised to see Sorain rubbing his head in what almost seemed like frustration, or maybe just plain confusion. Either way he seemed somewhat distraught about whatever was running through his head. Takera's mind turned back to the comment that Sorain dropped at an earlier point in time. Knowing Sorain was planning something Takera's curiousity was somewhat peaked, but it wasn't hard to understand atleast the base idea behind his plan. He wanted power. They all wanted power, but Sorain's plan was bigger than anything the rest of the group was aware of. Takera was interested to know more of what Sorain was plotting, but for now he'd have to wait and watch things progress. The first step he needed to make now was to find the sword hidden in Snow at the border of Lightning and Fire where the whole mess that put Takera and Zeru in this predicament started.
While in thought himself, Takera was suddenly brought out of it by Sorain's question, "Takera, what information did you find out about the sword." Sorain asked. Takera rubbed the edge of his chin in curiousity. Sorain managed to delve deep enough before being cut off to know 'Snow' was the location of the sword. Was he asking Takera for the sake of a public demonstration to keep suspicion among the rest low? He could read minds, so it had to be a public display. Takera could feel whenever Sorain tried to probe his mind and Sorain's chakra is like a giant red flag. Takera's eyes can see when Sorain's chakra was active and even instances of discerning where it was active. If his eyes were to come of use, his chakra would flare and build around his eyes and if it were his mind, his head in general around his brain would begin to flare and build. "Thanks to an old acquaintance I learned there may be something of value related to the swords in Snow, if not a sword." Takera replied after a moment of thinking. After he spoke, he lifted his hand that was holding the wood, which had fallen to his side while he had been thinking everything over and looked at the wood once more. He turned to look back at Drake and slipped the wood into the side of his pack in the side net. "I guess this means we're heading to Fire Country. You aren't going to cause us any mischief while we're there, are you, Drake?" Takera asked watching the way Drake was standing and the activity of his chakra.
Sorain spoke up once more and Takera turned his sights back on Sorain once more.. "I do need to make a pit stop in Fire to gather some supplies. We're out of food, and we all need to change our clothing. Ill also see about stealing us a few Head Bands from Fire." Sorain exclaimed to the group. "Not a bad idea really. It's worth a try at the least. Maybe we can get a proper place to stay and baths while we're at it." Takera said. At first he was serious then he got partially sarcastic when he began to speak about a place to stay and bathing. Takera stretched his arms, still holding onto that piece of wood.

Sorain frowned to himself as he continued to listen and scan the information that they were giving him up until this point. From what he knew currently, there was a sword in the Lightning Country, as well as one in The Frost Country. Which mean that if he continued on the path that he was currently on he was almost assured at least one blade. But there was something that was becoming more and more obvious as time went on. Things were going a little bit too easy. Three or more days had passed and Sorain still had yet to hear any word from his brother, something that was odd considering how easy it would be for them to get into contact with each other. Had he been found out? The thought alone sent shivers through out his entire body forcing him to turn his back to his group to try and force out his minds attempt at imagining the torture that his only relenting would be facing should he ever be discovered. No.. That was unlikely, Sai was a smart kid. He knew better than to let himself be captured so easily. If they had found him, Sai would have at least went down with a big enough bang that the entire world would have heard stories about another attack on Kirigakure. Which only meant that either his brother was still there, lurking somewhere in the shadows, or he was simply roaming the world just as we was. Sorain turned and excused himself, moving away from his group for a moment to think in piece. After walking a few steps away he turned and sat down with his legs crossed, arms palm side up over his knees. Instantly a layer of ice formed around his body, making a tent like structure that would block out all light and sound so that he could neither be seen nor heard as he entered his meditativeness state. His mind swirled with each deep breath, pushing him further and further into his subconscious searching for the answers. "Soul, get your a** down here. I want you to nab these two dead bodies and follow me... We're going on a little trip~" The words of his brother echoed through out Sorains subconscious. In fact, he vaugly remembered sai speaking these words, however he was already making his exit from the area. Sorain dug deeper, trying to link together his fading memories, pick up on the most subtle of details that ones attention could not normally notice. In this state, he was able to recall every memory, and notice every single detail that would otherwise go unnoticed. It took him close to an hour, but Sorain finally came to a well enough conclusion. Sai was still in Water Country. How he was unsure of, but it made the most sense as to why he had heard nothing from him in so long. If he was in fact still in Water Country, then he obviously would not have a chance to get into contact with Sorain. Which also meant that the search for them was still continuing. If they had captured Sai then the bounty would have been changed, more information about himself would have been listed. Sorains heart thumped, this was more dangerous than he had thought. At first, he was under the impression that the village was simply out playing hide and go seek with him, instead he now understood that they were not looking to capture.. No, they were looking to kill. Was that why Sai went back to water? Did he already know what Sorain was only figuring out now? Kirigakure would never allow them to live in peace, how could they be so foolish to believe such a thing. As long as Sorain and Sai still breathed there would never be peace for them. So what was the best thing to do? To no longer be Sorain nor Sai. Sorains eyes popped open widely, even blind, he could tell that he was forming an expression of utter shock and revelation. This was dangerous, he was not safe here out in the open like this. A simple hood over his face would never be enough.. Sorain recalled his icy shelter before returning to his group. "This place is not safe, nor is anywhere else actually. The only way for us to survive, is to simply disappear." he said with a soft sigh as he tried to formulate a plan on the spot. "I want you all to lay low. Go to frost if you must. But you must not remain near me, or see yourselves killed faster than you can even conceive the threat. There are forces moving against me, forces that I will have a hard enough time dealing with myself only to made worse under the burden of protecting more lives than my own. I am going to Fire Country to gather more information as to my brothers whereabouts. As long as his location remains a mystery I can never rest, nor can I proceed with my plans. So, I leave you with this. Stay... Out... Of.. Kirigakure.. Until I know where my brother is, none of us are safe and quite frankly I cant protect any of you. Stay together, stay alive. Our paths shall cross again, but for now. I simply cant afford to have you following me. One wanted Ninja from Kirigakure is enough to cause ca motion. Three, thats grounds for a full on world hunt. "Sorain discontinued speaking, hoping that they would understand what he had just told them before turning and allowing his body to face a large mirror of ice, which he casually stepped through and out of the area.
