Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nero looked at Haka, noticing how withdrawns she seemed after being so loud and into the convorsation....he was almost going to say she should be thier leader...but it would seem that she wasn't quite the person that she seemed a few minutes ago. He just smiled politely as he looked at her and he walked over and wrapped hjis arms around her, giving her a big hug. "Cheer up!" He said happily as he let go and he kept walking. But before he reached the camp he kicked the ground and he took off into the air, the angelic wings spreading behind his back as he lifted off into the sky. "I will watch from up here, and make sure everything is okay. It would be silly and foolish of all of us if nobody was on the defensive here, just incase something goes wrong, or this whole thing is just a hoax." He said, thinking about all of the possibilities....or at least trying to. "So, will someone relaythe sage's message to me when you are done? If so, then I will just keep watch in the sky, and make sure that you stay away from harm, it will be alright." He said with a bright grin as he looked down on them and he took in a deep breath as he hovered about ten feet in the air, after he had spoken he went another thirty feet up and he stayed there, keeping above them and not being rash by going in himself before they did too.

"Nero-Baka!" Tsume moved forward, tugging her jacket off her back and tossing it around Haka's shoulders, positioning herself between Nero, and Haka, without touching the girl behind her.

"She said she's afraid of men. What about that don't you understand!? It's a fear, a phobia. She may be useless to us now because of you. You have to give people their personal space. You're lucky you moved, or she'd have gutted you," it was strange, how Tsume kept going from observer to instant action. She'd done it before too, when Aoi had been talking about them.

"We understand that you want to make her feel better, but there are better ways to do that. And for gods sake, get down! Don't you understand the meaning of stealth?" she growled. "And you're supposed to be a ninja."

She sighed then, turning back, speaking softly, though she maintained her distance from the young woman.

"Haka, are you alright?"

"I said that..because it was also true..but..I will be fine.."


Haka just sighs..slowly shaking off the effects of what runs through her blood. She stands up, slowly, and shakes her head from side to side. She places her blades back into her sleeves, as well as her arms, and she bends to pick up her fan. She addresses Nero then, where he is ahead, as quietly as possible...


"We do not speak of it much. In my blood, there are many whispers. The touch of males repulses us, ever since the moment we are born. Unless we are in total control of our every action regarding them, it can become a deep seated fear. In the young ones, like myself, this is common..in the older ones, it becomes a vicious rage that becomes a destructive rampage. It's more than just a hatred. It's...genetic. Our clan Ancestor has passed down her genetic memory, her hatred, fear, and more. In our Clan, males have two uses. Labor, and breeding. Outsiders are rarely told..but we have to know one another to function..so.."

He listened to everything she had to say...she sounded like a leader to him, she had assessed everyone already, and she was making a good run at it too. He just smirked as he stood there he had lifted his head and heaved a sigh, trying to carry away his annoyances with the breath as he stood there, so he had walked a little closer, realizing he was a little bit too childish when he did things like that. He needed to be more of a ninja. He looked up towards Tsume as she touched him on the shoulder and he looked to her with a nod as he smiled ever so slightly. "You are right anyways, you weren ot harsh nor were you impulsive. I was just...taking it a little too much to heart. I shouldn't have, and I know you are correct...that it wasn't right of me to give away a position like that, even if I thoguht it was a correct thing to do. As well as the fact that I should have remembered to give her personal space, you were just telling me my faults and I should have been better aboutit, and realized that I just needed ot work on it, rather then taking it as an insult." He said with a nervous scratch on the back of his head. "But I believe you are correct...we should probably see everyone's skills before we enter the camp, or decide on who is the leader." He said with a nod.

"Well, I know my wings can be a little bit distracting and obvious. But they do not need to be." He said with a smile as he tucked them up tightly against his back, from the front it would look like he was normal, though maybe a feather here or there would be visable. "Though, I am not quite sure what you want to know about skills, since I have never been on a mission before, none of us have, I havn't had time to expand me knowledge too much about what I am very good at or what I am not. I can do a few interesting things I suppose." He said with a shrug of his shoulders. "My skills from my clan are quite different then most, I can track down enemies by attatching chakra ropes to them by sight, and I can move around pretty quickly." He said with a smile as he dissapeared form where he was standing and re-appeared a few meters away. "Though I guess I am not too stand-outish when it comes to skill, so I won't be voting myself as leader." He said with a laugh and another shrug of his shoulders. He seemed pretty at ease and carefree about it, but when it came to selecting a leader he was extremely serious, and he was very determined to make the leader someone he could trust his life to. Someone everyone could trust their lives to. He smiled as he stood there, waiting for someone else to explain their own skills, since that was what Tsume had suggested they do. Though he wasn't going to demonstrate any of his secret skills or such, he had a couple, but he was not going to just sit here and showboat himself. "So, what are you guys good at?" He asked encouragingly.

She nodded as she listened to Haka-nee. Good skills to possess.

"I'm strong. I have a very keen sense of smell, and with the dots of blood I've placed on you all by brushing you, I can keep track of where you are. My senses are highly enhanced, I'm quick, and Kiko here is my support partner. Most of my skills are Taijutsu, though I also possess a bit of medical skill. I can only do the most basic things, but that's important regardless. As far as my strength.. I.. can't give you a demonstration because my Nee-san said to stop knocking down trees," rubbing the back of her head, laughing. Was this little whip of a girl serious? Knocking down trees?

Maizen's eyes flashed angrily towards Tsume. "Yes, stop knocking down trees. How would you feel if someone snapped YOU in half? If you're going to fell such a magnificient creature, at least target the old and sickly... they like to have some purpose in the world after their age has passed." There was an obviously angry tone to his voice, and wheresoever his feet rested, small flowers, grass, and saplings began to slowly sprout. It was also odd that he referred to trees as creatures.

He snorted, calming slightly, but not enough that his confidence was replaced with the mouse-like meekness he seemed to be constantly plagued by. "As for me, my name is Bokusouchi Maizen, I am a medical-nin in training." His gaze cut back to Tsume as he walked. "And I am a tree." Those vividly nature-green eyes of his gave off a soft luminescence before dying back down to their natural hazel as he turned back around, and began fumbling with the strap on his bag.

Nero looked at the other member of the group. He would consider himself as a leader, if only he remembered his past. He never really got over the fact that he didn't know the honest truth about who he was, and any sort ofd uncertainty in a leader was never too good. He just kept his mouth shut about that, because he probably wouldn't even do a really good job, and he had already messed up enough relationships in the group to be a disrespected leader in the long-run anyways. He looked up to Tsume and he nodded to her. "Well, I myself don't find this to be too hard a thing at all." He said, shrugging his shoulders. "I think it is rather obvious it is you who should be our leader. Though that is only my oppinion, I think there should be a vote, and mine is cast towards you." He said with a bow. "You just seem like a more likely choice, you make good decisions, and you seem to know what you're doing. As well as the fact that you already know where we all are all of the time from that thing you did to us. But we'll see what everyone else thinks." He said with a nod. He was curious to see who everyone else would pick to be leader...since they wouldn't all be thinking alike to him, or so he thought.
