Maizen honestly had very little to say at this point. The presence of an adult meant that they had the answers and best idea of what to do in a given situation, normally, and this man certainly seemed strange... but not so much as to be threatening.

Tsume couldn't do much more than nod. She would follow him. In her free hand, the paper she held rustled. Had she even bothered to read it? She didn't think she had. She inclined her head after a moment, and flipped it in her hands, to read whatever would be written there.
She was still very much aware of her surroundings, and the man certainly didn't seem that aggressive. Or besides that, he didn't seem very dangerous. But looks can be deceiving. Damn, was that what she'd meant?

(Raven, may I direct your attention to this --> http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=1712248 . This is a forum guild, we all have lives outside of the internet. I for one work 40 hours a week and will be starting school again this coming semester, so yea) ~*~Burnt City~*~ ::the man looked at Nero, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. He brushed the long hair back from his face and then turned away:: You have no patience. ::the note in Tsume's hand contained Buki's elegant scrawl:: Locate the Sage, follow the road, find the door, retrieve Jewel

((I know you are busy, I was talking about the other students. I appologise. I know that people have lives outside of this. I shall duely shut my trap. I also extend my appologies to those other then Hinata))
Nero smirked as he stood there and looked at the man whom had turned his back on him. His eyes narrowed, the last thing he had said was good-natured and it was quite polite....that was not his personality at all...and yet he still gotthat snotty attitude. He felt like slamming a fist into the back of the man's head...but he knew that the person was important...what for he wasn't sure...but he knew that they needed him. His hands itched at the Kodachi that were attatched ot his underarms...he wanted to take his massive hands and slice the man's head off with them...but he just fell silent. "You'll eat those words...eventually." He said with a grin. "See....this is patience right her...I am going to wait to kill you." He said with a smile as he stepped back away from the man and stood near Tsume. "So, what's in the note? If you don't mind that is." He asked, again, out of character....he was being polite to her.

"I do, actually.." Tsume's quiet response as she looked toward the back of the man they were following, giving Nero a nudge and inclining her head toward the man, as if to say that whatever she asked him next might be relevant.
"Are you the Sage?", followed by the chirp of Kiko, her cheetah, immediately after. There was that forwardness. But asking was the only way to determine. She reached up to stroke Kiko. Animals had this strange way of detecting lies, so if Kiko didn't react the way she wanted her to, well, that could mean this fellow was leading them away from where they needed to go.
Strangely, she'd been quiet up to this point, probably just listening to the interaction between the rest of the students with her.

Maizen didn't much seem to like the Hyuuga, and the catgirl seemed a little crazy, but less so than the Kaguya. For the time being, he kept between Tsume and Haka, following the harper and trying to block out the bleakness of the landscape.
Then he heard something interesting. "What? A Sage? Here?" He looked back up to the harper, with a mixture of awe and possibly fear. Sages were reputed to possess strengths above that of any Kage.

::the harper turned, thin, elegant eyebrows raised in surprise. He then chuckled and shook his head, silvery mane swishing about to frame his thin face::
A sage I am not, my young traveler, though I thank you for the compliment in asking. If its Sage you seek, I shall bring you to her, if you so desire

Maizen tilted his head, the momentary flux in his character subsiding. A misunderstanding... good, if things got anymore surreal, the poor boy might faint. "There's more people, guys, we should keep going with him. We'll finally be able to get some answers!" He seemed a bit more steady with the larger group and an adult taking them to some form of civilization.

He thought Tsume was saying that she minded, just because it was Haro asking and he felt a little bit offended as he looked at her with a quirked brow. He wasn't sure what he was doing wrong...he was being polite. But if being polite got him no where then why act like someone your not right? He looked over to her as she nudged him and was about to bark at her for it, but then he looked at her nod towards the man and he listened intently to her question. He smirked as he listened to the answer...finally they were getting somewhere. But then, before anytone had even said they didn't want to follow he heard Maizen's little pep-talk. He sighed as he looked over to Maizen and his eyes rolled. "What do you think we're doing right now you fool. We're all walking behind the guy...and if I'm not mistaken...nobody said that we shouldn't follow, so there was no doubt in the air to rectify with your annoying speach." Nero said, again rolling his eyes. He was a jerk, but at least he did it well.

Maizen turned his eyes back to the Hyuuga for a moment, snorting once. His eyes became green-shot and tinted for an instant. "Hom, hom..." Maizen shook his head slightly and looked away. "Be that as it may... I believe some people need a reiteration of what we're doing... such as yourself, since you seem to forget that we are classmates on a mission, and NOT playthings of yours. You would do well to keep this in mind, boy, there are some people you just can't muscle around." The quiet, jittery boy's voice took on a more solid tone with a creaking bough sound behind the words - as one might hear in a forest.
After a moment, the medical-nin returned to his natural state... remaining quiet behind the Harper.

(sorry guys, not even living at home again until the 18th, dog and house sitting, no net that I can access over there, I'll sneak on at home when I can get over here)
~*~Burnt City~*~
::the Harper shook his head and continued to lead the students out of the extremely silent city into the living forest behind it. The Forest had not been visible from the hillside, not well anyway. His feet fell onto a well cleared path that led into the shade of the trees::
For people who are to be friends, you do not seem to get along.

"Friends?" He asked with a laugh. "Never....I don't need anyone, and I am sure that they don't need me." He stated. "I am someone who prefers to be in a group, but be by himself inside of the group, so, I push people away." He stated, he knew all of his own personal faults...but he did not try in the least to change them, and that was perfectly apparent. He looked back to Maizen and smirked, those eyes interested him greatly. "I am perfectly aware of the fact that we are a team, and that we are on a mission. I also do not think that you are a plaything, for I would get too easily bored of a thing like that. As well as the fact that I am not muscling anyone around, I have not layed a finger on you, I am just merely speaking my mind." He said with a shrug of his shoulders and a grin. "But, since we are team-mates we should get to know eachother better....like for instance...why do you eyes do that? Flash green?" He asked with a grin...all he was interested was information, not friendship.

((Sorry if this confuses everyone, but I had to re-vamp my character because he was messed up wit hthe jutsus and such and alot was iffy about him, so i had to change alot so I just ended up making a new character, so I am introducing him now as the real Nero))
Nero sighed as he walked through the door in Buki's classroom, following the imposter as well as he could. His eyes widened and he looked as far as he could infront of him, four hundred meters. This brought him close enoug to see the smouldering village and he grinned as that was where he headed. He bolted off, running towards the burnt city and trying to pick up the scent of the imposter....somehow...anyhow...and hoped he had not accomplished his mission to kill quite yet. By the time he had reached the city he could clearly see the others walking down a path towards an unknown destination with an old looking man infront. He just took a deep breath and smirked as he looked at the imposter Nero's back and a link of chakra came from the back to his eyes and he gripped the link with his hands, severing hte conection with his eyes and he pulled on it, much like a puppetteer would do, it caused Nero to be pulled backwards and hit the ground. In an instant Nero was atop of him, his kodachi through the throat of the imposter and he walked over to the others with a bright smile, sheathing the kodachi and bowing, his white angelic wings tucked close to his back. "Well, nice to meet all of you....I gues you are my fellow students?" He asked, still with a bright smile.

Aoi followed the harp player in the middle of the group, aiming to use the others as meatshields. Hmm, thought Aoi, I still don't trust this man.... We wouldn't have a mssion as easy as putting up with some musician and finding a sage... "Wait", Aoi said, responding to the musician's comment, "You think that we are friends? I would have to be able to competently put up with these people to even know who they are, let alone be their friends!" Aoi responded, laughing slightly. Unphased by the suposedly real Nero's actions, Aoi turned to him. "I guess so. Quite.... Unfortunate..." Aoi responded, turning back around.

The girl's movements were tense, as she followed along just behind the harper. So he wasn't the sage, but they were being led to the sage. That made things a little easier, sort of.
At Aoi's comment, Tsume turned, and in a movement that was damn near lightning fast, she struck her palm out, dead toward the other students midsection.
The attitude, the mannerisms. The fact that Kiko on her shoulder was hissing. She didn't like him. He was worse than the fake Nero.
The girl hissed, verbally, and the sound was not unlike a cat's snarl.
"Put up with us? Put up with us? We're supposed to be a team. That's why we're working together. If you can't handle that, turn around, head out of the city, and leave this mission to those of us willing to handle the mission as a team, whether or not we're friends. We were sent here for a reason. But since I've arrived, you've done nothing but be concerned for you. Did you ever think that if we don't all come back out of this, you'll fail?" she was standing as much above him as she could, fingers flexing where they had been aimed at his stomach.
Of course, mind you, if she did hit him, it would be like getting slammed by a semi tractor trailer going 90 mph. That monstrous strength of hers.
