Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Goddamned Glitch!))

((And again.))

The guard at first watched the approaching two children with suspicion, but when the girl mentioned her name was Sarutobi, the Senju's stiff posture slightly relaxed, and he nodded, and then in turn to his partner. Ah yes...the program that Senju Zephyr had begun, and that Senju Amerikasugi, the prince's grandfather, had continued in honor of his missing grandson. Senju Amerikasugi may not have been very happy with the then not even mid-year heir's decision to claim his Sennin privileges... It was a quiet sort of love, that only required the slightest bit of insight to see, but one that Zephyr had refused to acknowledge back then and still does now.

"Hai, Sarutobi-han." He addressed the girl. "We'll open the gates." And signaling to his partner, they took the great brass knockers of the gate (rings that were suspended, bitten upon, by metal lion heads) and the great crimson gates - the sun glinting proudly on the brass studs - were thrown open once more.

Rhaim proceeded out of the room that they had stolen the statue from and didn't dare to look back. As far as he was concerned there was no advantage in seeing what sort of plan or pursuit the brawling Senju were enacting towards the children. He wasn't aware that they had simply been allowed to escape or that there was a secret passage under the place where the statue had sat. What he was aware of was the fact that he was in no way hidden from the sight of the guards. His feet pounded along on the ground in an attempt to keep rythem with Tenma to make their movement easier. He was hardly certain of which direction the main gate was until he noticed Tairu point it out. At the same time he felt the other boy take hold of the statue from Tenma to continue running. Hopefully she would think of something to do to stall the guards in case the folks at the main entrance were not a distraction enough. His hands gripped the item tighter as he made every effort to not let Tairu's efforts in carrying it go to waste.

Tairu decided that it was now or never. "Let's just make a run for it." He said to the group as he tried to quicken the trio's pace. There was only one guard and it wasn't that far to reach the goal point. Knowing this, Tairu held on tight to statue as they passed through the gate. Tairu knew the guard was going to see them but hopefully his present occupation and the sheer shock of the sight passing before him would slow his reaction. With that hope deep in his mind Tairu pushed past the gate and made his way down the winding mountain path. C'mon we can do this! thought as self encouragement. As they walked Tairu held on tight to the statue.

((*gasp* One of Zephyr's posts disappeared!?

*sigh* Well, Saito...yeah. I attached it to this recovered post, but, put in training every time. In case disasters like this ever happen again...))

Saito awkwardly felt whirring as he could clearly hear the rapid swinging of his mentor. He moved back, feeling as if it came close enough he'd be blown away. Saito suddenly turned, gasping, swinging....

He could've sworn it touched his foot. These things... This wasn't good. Saito sighed, looking down, still all darkness. He had made no contact. Apparantly Zephyr's hearing was better than a bat, that or he was simply swinging and hoping he'd hit something. Saito would pass on the idea, he wasn't physically capable of swinging such a dense object so wildly.

He swong again, holding his breath. This time his eyes widened as he swong too hard and turned, almost falling on his back. No, this wasn't working. Saito moved to his knees, slowly moving the iron rod against the ground. You-- You things! Wasting his time. He wished these rats were books...

Rhaim was somewhat suprised at the fact that he was able to keep up with Tairu's pace and maintain control of the statue. He was even more suprised at how well he was able to be suprised considering the current situation that he was in. Somehow he was able to still process his surroundings while so much was going on that he wasn't ready for. In actuality it wasn't something new that the boy was doing but rather the first time that he realised that he was doing. Curiously all of his thinking did not keep him from noticing the open gateway in the same moment as Tairu and formulating the same plan. Though in reality it was more of a mad rush and less of any sort of planned action.

The boys' feet continued to carry his and the statues weight across the Senju compound, which still for some reason was not up in arms yet. For being such a secure ninja village it sure did appear as if a couple of frantic Academy students could get away with alot. Still making mental notes of everything around him, the Nara child drove himself onwards to the opening in the gate caused by the newcomers.

However it appeared that the childs' luck was in no way going to change just because he was so close to the end. A small crack in the ground found its way into his shoe and Rhaim went tumbling down to his face with the statue launching from his grasp.
