Welcome to Gaia! ::

OOC sad Okay... quick review quite a few people have made their way into the Tower. After being infected with poison, Tentu decided to preform his "Golem explosion" Jitsu, where hundreds of his golems pop out of no where and assasinate everyone Tentu deems a threat. At the same time one golem showed everyone the most likely location of the Raikage. However, when Tentu awoke, he not only could not remember anything that happened after he preformed the jitsu, and could no longer control his chakura, two possibilities being he had run out of chakura, or the poison had affected him in worse ways than they thought. everyone is now outside the possible location of the raikage.)

(ooc: Um, at the moment I wouldn't come through whatever door their waiting at or whatever because they are all prepped for slaughter, but I think eventually they would meet up, since there is probably very few ways to get to the Raikage.

Mayana-chan - Um, you realize the city is in ruins and that there are enemy nin everywhere killing everything? Its a war ^.^)

(ooc: yay! my computer is working again!)

::Hinata waited, and as the door flew open, 6 enemy nin looked over very surprised, she watched as kodomo went forward into the lead three and then, darting past him, she released the jutsu that she had been holding::

::her hands slammed straight into the groud, making a small crater as a large bird, seemingly formed of pure chakra spread its wings above her and let out an angry screech, it lunged at the nins in front of her and as its talons and beak sank in the nins seemed to become paralized and then, after a few minutes drop to the ground, dead::

(ooc: sorry guys, sorta jumped the gun and probably screwed with the story line but I guess I just wanted to move on a bit ^.^() )

::Hinata was panting now, but leaped into action as something fell, and it took all control for her not to attack Aya as she hit the ground. She stumbled a minute, almost landing on the already fallen shinobi, and looked at her, a bit surprised::

where....?

::she shook her head and managed to pull the girl to her feet::

"Hinata-san!" Aya whispered almost sounding happy, what a lucky break. She was worried sick that she was going to be discovered by the enemy nin, really, they would wonder why one of thier own kind was falling on top of them. Since Aya was still dressed up in the costume she removed her mask and grinned showing that it was her as Hinata-san pulled her to her feet. But as the male nin came around the corner and made what seemed to be almost snide remarks Aya growled softly, "I've been more covert than you, I've already explored most of the upstairs, and even killed one of the Raikage's bodyguards, not bad for a genin huh." she hissed. Aya hated to be looked down on, so what if she made a mistake. No one was perfect, and with all the racket they made with the last attack she was suprised no one had come rushing down the stairs then she remembered the cave in she caused and grinned, hoping the Hokage wouldn't make her pay for it. She slipped the mask back on and followed Hinata-san but there was one more question, "Hinata-san? How did you know I wasn't the enemy even with the uniform I stole?"

**Tentu turned slightly. She obviously had no Clue of what had happened before.**
"If you call crawling on a ceiling covert, then I might as well put a flag on my head and wave at the next patroling nin. As for why everyone around us knew not to kill you, you were atempting a position to strike the enemy. Although if you were an enemy, I'm pretty sure Komm would have noticed and killed you long before I got the chance."

**Tentu motioned to Komm and Hinata to follow.**

"I need to talk to you, since your the only ones who can be fully trusted at this point in time."

((whoohoo! I don't feel like a such baby anymore!))

Aya twitched, her happiness faded at seeing nins of her own kind...even here, she was apparently not wanted. Her face returned to being the blank mask, she was just trying to help...was that so bad? Her hand clenched tightly, staring at Tentu, Hinata-san, and the one they called Komm. Tentu knew nothing, she wasn't attempting a position to kill anyone, only to get away and defend if possible. It was a defense manuver, as higher nin, shouldn't he have realized that? He was making her feel like such an idiot, of course she had no clue because she was already inside the building while they were dwadling. You are the only one's I can trust... his words rang in her mind, as a bell. A warning bell, with the word trust as background music her memories flashed.

Aya could still remember her parent's death, even though she was so young. She could remember being alone and scared, other grown people pushing her away as if she was some disease. She could remember the forest and the taste of raw meat she had fed on half crazed. It seemed so nice when people had actually taken her in, she could remember her first hug. The nin who found her holding her, wrapping her wounds. But she could also remember the glares. She was an outsider, and not even one of another ninja villiage. She was outside the circle, the teasing and the taunting of other children because of her strange scar and looks. She was not...normal. Even now, when she had vowed to try and protect the village, proven she was trust worthy...even now, she was not wanted...

Her teeth gritted together as she stared at the groups back, her eyes dark and narrowed, well if she wasn't wanted here....silently she crept away, running down the side hall way searching for someone to take her to the Raikage. And this time, she would not lie...

::Hinata shook her head, keeping one arm around Aya, and looking at Kodomo as he finished off the last of the enemies around them::

I trust them Tentu, as much as I do you. They're fighting just like we are. We need to stick together, I'm not going to deal with the splitting of the party into "betters"

::she smiled:: Komm is right, we are running out of time. We need to find the Raikage, and now. Avoid anymore needless encounters with his minions ::she squeezed Aya's shoulder::

::she walked up to Tentu, one hand on his shoulder, smiling:: You've been a wonderful asset. But you still need a bit of rest. Let Komm lead, Kodomo and Aya will bring up the rear, you and I will be in the middle.

::she shook her head:: You're still not well, that posion is still working its way through your body..
