Welcome to Gaia! ::

Felix stopped his laughing when Naka got angry. He looked away and down into the water softly, masking his emotion at her reaction.
Of course he knew that she could kill him whenever she wanted to... he was just trying to make her a little happier after being upset over the conversation. Felix was fully aware of how weak he was... compared to a lot of people, not even mentioning Naka. 'Most' people... if not all of them... could kill him.
It was not his fault... but being addressed in that way by her made his stomach churn upside down for some reason.
Felix had allowed himself to get close to someone... it was a mistake.. again. A tear formed in his eye, but he cleared it with his shoulder quickly, remaining silent.

What would Kusari do in this situation... Nakamura thought to herself, the image of her mighty comrade came into view... and in the background were too blood stains. Her face showed that she was not at all happy that her mind moved so quickly to dismemberment. That wasn't something she wanted to even concieve. While she wasn't the violent type, she didn't want it to seem like she couldn't defend herself. Then again, she probably came off like Kusari would have. Attacking when no harm was meant. She figured it would be best if she listened to her own instincts and see if she couldn't rectify this situation. She stood up, very slowly, allowing each and every muscle to stretch out. By the time she was bent over, her hair did it's job by opening and extending out and over her body like a curtain. Her hands, now hidden by her hair, flowed with her chakra. This has to work. she thought to herself, raising her hands out of the Spring and beneath the blanket of hair.

In her hands, balls of ice began to form as she focused her chakra into her hands. Both seeming to form at the exact same time. She condensed the ice, forcing it to break into shards, which formed into flakes, untill she was holding two snowballs, one in each hand. Lifting her head up just enough so her hair parted in front of her right eye, she watched as the two boys stayed right by one another. It was as if they were setting her up for the perfect shot. She couldn't help but grin beneath her hair. In the seconds that followed, Nakamura shot up, her hair parting for a split second before obediently forming back into the ponytail behind her. She threw the snowballs that were in each hand, one at each boy, a devious grin was upon her lips.

"Think fast!" she shouted, watching the snowballs head towards their respective marks. She knew that with their attention diverted, that she would now be able to go after her true mark. In the blink of an eye, Nakamura was gone, appearing for a brief second beside Travis' belongings. That same instance, she was gone again... as were Travis' boots.

Nakamura soon appeared above the Springs, holding the boots as if they were captives. "Let's see if you can get these back from me." she announced, as if it were a game. Each boot was held in her respective hands, waiting to see what they would do. That was... untill she decided to make them find them instead. "If you manage to succeed, I'll teach you one of my jutsu." she added, giving an incentive should they be reluctant to play her little game.

DC for forming Snowballs = 86 Chakra Control, 43 per hand
Chakra Control = 83 + 13 = 96 Success
Ranged Attack = 99 + 18 = 117 Felix, 112 Travis

Felix was watching the water when the snowball hit him. In the side of the head. He pursed his lips and did not move from his spot, reaching up to wipe the ice from his hair and brush it away as best he could. That had hurt.
He did not raise his head to watch her take Travis' boots... or move at all when she offered a Jutsu. His eyes were glued on the water. He really felt like being alone now. She was just making things worse.

Felix stood up, and turned about. He walked out of the area with his hands in his pockets.

Nakamura remained hidden, even after Felix seemed to walk right past her without batting an eyelash. It made her wonder if this was how all boys acted, or just this one. After all, she only grew up with Kusari, and he tried to kill her at least four times. At least Travis still seemed interested in his mission. It didn't take him long to find his other boot, but she couldn't help but feel like something was amiss. A chakra source she didn't recognize had infiltrated the village. She'd need to check this out first hand, before Felix or Travis were put in any danger.

Within the blink of an eye, Nakamura dissappeared from the Silver Spring, heading towards the Village.

Almost as if the Substitution technique had been used, Ayala wandered into the Spring, curious of the electrical currents she felt back at Amadeus' Office. She took several sniffs with her muzzle raised in the air, allowing her nose to twitch about in the air. The Spring's scent was in four places at once, which could only have meant that they all touched the silvery liquid. She trotted over to one of the boys that, not only had a look of distress on his face, but was heading away from the Spring. The other one, looked to have lost his clothing. That could explain why she left.

Ayala's paws trotted towards Felix, her entire body language seeming to wonder what was wrong. Her tail was slightly to the left, but not quite up in the air. Her paws had their claws out, just enough to grip the ground beneath them... but it was her eyes that spoke the loudest.

It was clear that Ayala was much more sociable when Felix reached out to pet her. Her ears folded back, leaning her head into his hand as if to force him to pet her. He was asking about a quiet place to go and train, but didn't think Nakamura wanted them to leave the village unescorted. If she stayed with the boys, she was sure that Nakamura wouldn't mind.

Moving her paws through Felix's strokes, she stopped moving once his hand was upon her back. It was as if she wanted him to move with her, instead of having them follow her. She knew that the Forest Clearing would be the best place for training, and in turn, moved her head in it's direction.

[Enter from Takigakure]

Shinji was still running full pelt, his heart attempting to punch its way through his chest. Suddenly his foot collided with a small rock, which threw his body head first towards the ground. The momentum he had built up caused him to roll and skid along the ground for 10 meters, his body being bashed and scratched.

He lay on the ground for a moment, his face now coated with a rough layer of gravel. "Owwww" Shinji moaned, pulling twigs out of his hair.
