"Don't worry I can handle myself and if I can't then Judas could handle them for me. I'm only doing it to see what it was and then I'll come back." Kwubara replied as he pulled out his sword and started to test the point.

As Kuwabara spoke Kaimen Erupted from the earth walking towards the Child known as Dalcon.
"You, sir, we need to talk."
His arm outstretched as he was ready to grab the child. He didn't bother replying to Iri, he was completely focused on Dalcon.

"What happened? Why do you need him? Kwubara asked as Kaimen

Kaimen stopped keeping his arm outstretched.
"You're familiar with the recent activity on the grounds correct, he being a primary mark."
Kaimen retracted his arm.
"I just came back from the source of the sound, south of the main dojo's location. To be quite frank I got there as fast as I could."
He paused.
"There was nothing. Pure destruction, the ground was black, super heated, so much there was a center of glass and some odd white sand. Not to mention, metallic objects. I hit one, to see if there would be any reaction, but it doesn't SEEM hostile. Then again, nothing seems hostile until you least expect it."
He turn and looked at Dalcon.
"And that's why I need this young man. I need to know why he's a target, if he knows anything about this, and if I killed him now would that stop any of the current activity."
Kaimen really hated kids.
"But I doubt it."

"Let me go with you to the creater. I know a little about sands and their properties. It Couldn't hurt." He said with a flat tone to help him think as he had an internal argument.

"And I'm the Tsuchi Sensei, I'm sure I know just as much."
He folded his arms.
"We can check it out later, but you Kuwabara, I've been meaning to tell you, Tier, he's the new Mizu Dojo Sensei. You'll have a teacher now."
He paused again.
"Someone else will move on the Crater Kuwabara. Right now the priority is with this child. But if you insist on going, I will allow it. Just be careful. WE don't know what happened or who did it. If at all the best thing to do is remain here, but if words can't sway you then go, remain as hidden as possible. Mask your scent, energy signature, anything to be as invisible as you can be. Do I make myself clear?"
His tone was serious and demanding, in fact, under his helmet his face would've shown that which resembled a war Generals.

"Ok. I stay hidden and it is nice to know I have a teacher for my element. Kwubara said before he turned into a cloud and thined himself out.

Kaimen simply nodded. Letting that be Kuwabara's send off.

Iri had stayed on the ground, watching the exchange with her carefully neutral expression. Now she gets to her feet. Grass clings to her clothes, hair, and feathers, which she brushes off. Then she moves between Kaimen and Dalcon.
"No one, and I do mean no one is going to kill my student. And if you see it fit to expel him or some sort, I'll just take him and my remaining student and track down someone who can protect Dalcon. Killing him, though, is not an option. It would be murder, plain and simple." Iri's naginata takes form and solidifies in her hand. She begins to twirl the weapon in an idle fashion. Though her hand is active, the woman's face remains neutral and her eyes cold as steel. "I'm grateful for what you've done for the Academy, Kaimen, but that doesn't mean I'm unwilling to stand up to you when I know you're wrong. So, whatever the reason is for the boy being a target, I'll take care of it."

"And I'm afraid just you alone can take care of it. Given whatever power you may hold tested or not by my hand there's something a foot, and amiss here all too conviniently wrapped in his arrival. Granted, if I thought killing him was the best solution, don't you think I would've done it with or without your consent? No one besides myself within the entire region of this academy controls or manages the earth like I do. It would be near to call it impossible for you to protect him at every waking moment provided I was your enemy."
His rant was long and serious.
"I'm sure Daizing is already out there, he's not one to sit still when ominous clouds and loud noises are afoot. I trust he can handle the situation, but for the time being, we need to understand the situation, and I'm damn sure he has some key to it."

The avian's eyes narrow and she grimaces in disgust.
"Those with power always see fit to abuse it. I guess you enjoy picking on weaker targets so much you've let it cloud your judgement? We gained at least three new students around the same time strange things started happening. Dalcon just happened to show up the same day Daedalus did. That leaves you with no excuse to come here and threaten a child's life. It started after you fought Nekojiri. There's no telling who's willing to come after the Academy now."
One wing reaches back to lay itself across Dalcon's shoulders. Kaimen is proving to be less rational than Iri had thought. If he threatens her student again, she won't hesitate to take action. Fighting Kaimen isn't an option. She knows better than that. But she's never found retreat to be dishonorable, either.

"THAT, THATS IT! DAEDALUS!" He sounded excited.
"WE NEED INFORMATION ON THAT PERSON, THING, WHATEVER IT IS!"
He was practically screaming now.

A lightning Bolt appeared in the air, suddenly arcing wildly before something appeared, rapidly flung to the ground with a noticeable impact. "Dammit" she grumbled, attempting to stand up, looking around and realizing she at least was at the right place.

Iri rolls her eyes and has to bite on her lip to keep herself from emitting a long string of curses crude enough to make a sailor blush.
"Then you could have asked me, you hot headed moron! I was the one that took her out. Least, I sorta did..."
She tilts her head and thinks a moment, cooling down as she does so. "She used Rai, and was extremely fast, thanks to her element. Used these six wings that looked like bug wings, but they were sharp and she could direct them in damn near any direction she wanted. Dalcon seemed to think her wings were key to her power as we were fighting her. Didn't occur to me at the time, but it makes sense. If you know your myths, Daedalus was the father of Icarus, the man that flew with wings of wax, and fell to earth when he got too close to the sun and the wax melted. If the name is any indication, her wings might be a weakness, a source of power, or something along those lines. And she didn't have any real motive for targeting Dalcon. She targeted him, because she likes to fight. When I proved to be a more challenging opponent, she came after me. Odds are, she'll fight anything that interests her."

"...Fell to earth..Oh god."
Kaimen paused looking in the direction from whence he came.
