He looked at the Kunai strangely and smiled. 'If she didn't want to put it away then I guess shes still weary of me... Oh well.' He sat down and looked up and her. "Give me a moment I know this one. . . . Which master was it again.... Was it wind? No that isn't right. What did Amadeus say? After the defeat of the Fire Master the Fifth Dawn... Ah that's it. It was the Fire Master right? Yes I'm sure. It has to be the Fire Master." He sat there as his smile grew wider and nodded. He had to be right. Otherwise... He was conscience of where his sword was but didn't make a move towards it. . . Not yet anyways.

So, not all of us are lost. At least it's a start. Upon hearing him answer, Nakamura slowly moved the kunai back into it's hiding place amidst her hair. "You'll have to forgive my hospitality, Hiku. I'm afraid if you're looking for the rest of our bretheren... there are only two others in the village." she explained, wondering if he happened to have any clue of where Amadeus would be.
"If you don't mind me asking... where was the last place you saw Amadeus?"she asked in earnest. He may have knowledge of his where-abouts that she may have overlooked.

He smiled more genuinely when she put the Kunai away. He stretched out his arms and yawned slightly. 'Only others? Hmmm that's not that much. I wonder what happened to the rest.' He looked at her cautiously. "Last time I saw him he was heading out of Kiri. He helped me realized a few things. He taught me a few as well. Like the Gate and the traps." He pointed behind himself vaguely in the direction of the gate. "He left not soon after he taught me all he could. He actually helped me find my second element. He left suddenly thought. He said He had other things to take care of." He shrugged not giving it any thought. "And that's all I know."

"The Mist Village? I thought he already took care of his business there years ago." she paused, examining Hiku's smile. It was either because he was genuinly happy, or he was hiding something. Either way, it didn't sit well with her. "Seeing as how Amadeus isn't here, I guess that leaves me in charge until he comes back... Did he happen to mention any of us? Possibly a message or something?" realizing that not only would Amadeus probably not make things that simple for her, she was one of only two girls actually in the Fifth Dawn, it made her miss Mona. She assumed the worst happened to her since she hadn't been heard from in over three years. Not that it mattered now, she figured a fair warning would help him out. One of these days, I'm going to have to recruit another girl. she thought to herself with a sigh.
"I guess you'd like to explore the village? Just be carefull about the Great Tree. I've personally seen to it's defenses... and my chambers in the Underwater Caverns are off-limits." she concluded in a rather awkward tone. Meeting new Dawn members was always nerve wracking to her.

Hiku nodded. "It was years ago. I am sorry though. He didn't mention anything or anyone. I didn't think there was much problems till you said how many there were." He shrugged. "Either way it doesn't really matter to me. . . Also I was wondering where the nearest training area is and where the nearest place to get a scroll and learn some more jutsu's." The smile all the while stayed on his face. Slowly he stood up and bowed. "With your permission that is. M'lady." He thought to himself that she might think he meant it sarcastically but he really didn't care either way. She was the leader and he had to do whatever she said.

Nakamura couldn't help but question his true intentions in the village after he showed no concern over Amadeus having gone missing. Instead, he brought up wanting jutsu. She decided it would be best to avoid that situation. While it may have seemed odd, Amadeus would have sent word if he was going to send new members. He could have gotten lucky coming through the Black Gate... but that wouldn't explain why he was shouting for Amadeus. She only knew this person's name... and she was supposed to take him to the Great Tree?
"The jutsu will have to wait for now. I don't exactly have time at the moment to navigate the Great Tree. The best place to train would be at the Forest Clearing." she didn't know what Hiku's elements were, but if neither was Water... he was going to be out of luck when it cam to Taki's hidden jutsu... but there were always scrolls from outside the village that they collected before the evacuation.

Hiku nodded again and started walking toward her. "Could you take me to the Forest Clearing or should I wonder around more unaided?" His smile grew knowing that that was probably the last thing she wanted. "So your name is Nakamura. Hm cute name." He tilted his head to the side examining her. "It suits you." He stretched his arms out and cracked his back. "Shame Amadeus is missing. He was the only one I knew as well as the name." He held back his laughter. 'Well if he's missing hes missing. Nothing I can do about that. She needs to learn to relax a bit more. Oh well. I wonder what jutsu's I could learn. Hmmm.' He looked up at her and asked. "Is there anything you need me to do? Might help you out some."

[Enter from Underground Caverns]
Shinji stepped out of the cave, soggy shoed and shaking. He reached into his pocket to find that the rice balls that he had prepared for his lunch were now a mushy, misshapen clump. He sighed and dropped the sticky content onto the floor.
In the distance Shinji could see two figures having a conversation. Though he was no intruder, he didn’t want to be caught up in something that could potentially harm him in anyway. Careful to avoid being spotted, he took a step down a small street and attempted to keep his footsteps as quiet as he could.
Shinji‘s sodden clothes began to rub against his skin, causing a slight amount of irritation. He leaned his back against a tall building and slumped himself down. The pleasant breeze and the smell it carried washed over Shinji in a pool of nostalgia. He felt comforted, relaxed and most of all, that he was finally home.

Nakamura was beginning to wonder if Hiku was truely what he said he was. The smile on his face was beginning to make her uneasy, and if he didn't back off, she would attack. She could never figure out the mind of a boy, and Hiku proved her point as to why boys were probably... just as complicated as girls. It suits me? Why do I get the notion that he's not telling me everything.
Before responding to Hiku, she stepped to the right, looking beyond Hiku. A chakra signature, although it was faint, was easy to detect for someone with Nakamura's senses. This signature posed no immediate threat, but she found it odd that people were penetrating the Waterfall's defences so easily... at least... supposed Fifth Dawn Members were.
"I don't really have any assignments. I have two on assignments right now, deciphering a scroll we took from the Leaf village. It may contain a clue as to Amadeus' where-abouts. As much as I'd love to be able to escort you around, I can't at the moment. It seems I have another visitor.... but if you'd like to know the quickest route to the Clearing, it's right back outside of the Black Gate. If you head to the right of the Gate, you'll be able to see the Waterfall. The Training Grounds are just beyond it..." her voice trailed off, actually thinking of something she hadn't done yet. "If you want to, this isn't mandetory, you could head to Konoha and check it's defences. If you choose to except this assignment, all I really need you to do is to check it's surrounding area. Do NOT go into the forest. The last time I was there, a barrier was set in place." she explained, unsure if he would even want this assignment. The mission itself was at least an A-Rank, a high probability of being attacked should he pass through the barrier.

His smile slowly faded as his face grew somber. "Yes ma'am. What do you want me to note? Any areas you specifically want me to go and look around at?" His eyes became sharp as he tightened his grip upon the hilt. His knuckles turned white with the force. 'Konohagakure huh? Haven't been there. Though I have heard about them on a few missions. I heard they had a lot of Shinobi too. A wicked nasty forest too if I remember correctly. Is that what she wants me to look into? She wants me to go to a place where they just stole a scroll. . . It sounds pretty dangerous. Does she wanna go back and invade just to steal more info to find Amadeus? Wow she must be serious then. Well I hope hes doing well.'

Shinji poked his head around the corner nervously. The loud voice he had just heard commanded a great deal of respect and left him a little shakey. He took a moment to contemplate her words. He knew vaguely where Konoha was, but also knew they had a tendancy to not be that welcoming to anyone that posed any kind of threat, regardless of how small. Perhaps training would be the better option for him, his frail body would hardly take a fist to the chest, let alone a kunai to the 'nads.
Shinji scurried off, his head bowed, his arms behind him. He had a general idea of where the training grounds were, unless they'd been moved in the past few years...

"I wanted to see if there was a hole in it's defences. This is a recon mission only. Do not enter the forest, Do not engage them. If you sense the tiniest hint of trouble, get out of there." Nakamura explained, showing genuine concern for Hiku. She may have barely met him... and his smile may have been creepy... but she could only conclude that he was a new brother in the Dawn. She was going to find Amadeus, even if it meant tearing the Leaf down brick by brick. These unjust actions from the Leaf would not go unanswered. Out of respect for Arya, she didn't retaliate, but Arya wasn't here. "Be safe." Nakamura concluded, bowing slightly as if to show that she truely wanted him to have a safe mission.
Now... that business seemed to be done, Nakamura's body shimmered for a second before vanishing. Her body apperated in front of Shinji, her arms folded across her chest. She couldn't be sure, but he reminded her of one of her Waterfall citizens that she migrated to Aisugakure, but she couldn't be sure. Let alone how someone of this stature could travel all the way from Aisugakure to this village was remarkable. "Hello there." Nakamura stated, her hair dipping down over her shoulder and onto the boy for a second before she quickly brushed it back.

Shinji screamed as the woman appeared before him. It wasn't very often that women suddenly apparated out of nowhere, at least not for him anyway.
"I-wasn't-spying-I-didn't-see-anything-at-all-I-swear-honest-I...Please don't kill me!" Shinji babbled, a feeling of dread soaking through him. He took a step back and attempted to gather the shattered remains of his self respect. "I mean...Hello!"

Nakamura looked rather puzzled when the boy seemed to scream as if being stabbed by her kunai. All that noise from a little bit of hair? she thought to herself, watching as this all-too-familiar boy stammered before her.
"Wait a second... Shinji? Little Shinji?" she questioned, looking at his face and taking it in. He was much smaller back then, but she could swear this was the same boy that she took to Aisugakure over two years ago.
"How did you get here? Are you by yourself?" she asked, not even waiting for a response to see if he too, recongized her. It was possible that he didn't. She wasn't exactly going around to each citizen, shaking their hands and introducing herself. It was more along the lines of, a giant mob running away while she stayed behind and fought. Either way, she knew this boy to be no thread.

Shinji had his eyes closed waiting for the killing blow. It never came. He opened his eyes and blinked sheepishly. The woman appeared to be looking at him with puzzlement. Shinji felt the blood rushing to his cheeks and awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "Yeah I...I came...on my own. I walked from Aisugakure, got chased by a bear, ate some wild berries and lost the majority of my food to a wild goat, but I made it here"
Shinji stared at the woman for a moment. "You wouldn't happen to know where Nakamura is would you? All I've really heard about her is that she occasionally smells of wet dog." Shinji gave a small laugh, blissfully unaware of how badly judged those last few words were.
