Welcome to Gaia! ::

"How long has it been," asks a voice from all around Adonis. A figure then appears a few feet in front of him. The figure hand a flowing cloak that resembled that of an ANBU. Upon their face was undoubtedly the mask of an ANBU with an odd mark. The mark seemed to be a symbol of some kind. Either meaning leader or master. The figure stands in the snow and raises its head from to look at Adonis. It then cocks its head and laughs. The figure was none other than Reina Rose, ANBU Leader and Magikage. What business did she have in Hidden Snow. "I heard you were running around here... what's going on," she purrs. She was apparently dressed and prepared for battle. Her purr was the sign that her White Tiger Beast Seal was active.

Reina wasn’t alarmed at all by Akai’s sudden appearance. She continues to stare at Saosin before turning her attention to the girl talking to Adonis. “Alice,” she thinks to herself. Reina knew every last ninja in the current area. Even if she hadn’t met them, her friends had. “If you take this as being a party… then you truly are a student of my husbands.” Reina used to be a student of Drago’s and thought everything was a big party. After time passed she soon… no she still believes everything to be like a big party. She just seems serious much of the time. Soon she hears the words of Yuan and grimaces slightly. Her face had turned to amusement before but was quickly back to a grimace. “Seems like one escaped from the toy box, I see.” She smirks at him under her mask before Alice catches her attention again. She thought it was funny that the Leader of the Hunter-Nin was that small girl. Ella definitely will have a fit once they were out of the village after the storm. She then looks at Adonis as her mind wanders. She could understand how Adonis might not be able to remember his past life. Reina knew someone who couldn’t remember ANYTHING of her past life. Then, she hears Akai speak once more. Her eyes widen, visible through the holes of the mask for her eyes. “A-Akatsuki? Can the rumors be true? Has the Akatsuki revived,” thinks Reina quickly composing her face. “Adonis… are you affiliated with the Akatsuki?” Her thoughts of leaving the village quickly faded when she was informed the Akatsuki were here. She heard rumors before of their revival but didn’t believe it. But now… she wasn’t so sure. She then shifts her cloak a bit before sticking her hand from it and pointing to Saosin. “I will take you up on killing you now if you wish. Unless you stand aside, I will kill you.”

Saosin laughs at Reina before shrugging. “Kill me if you wish but I’m not going to stand aside. I am with this group of shinobi now. They seem better suited to have me with them. Why don’t you leave while you are still able?” Saosin looks at her slightly before flashing nearer to Adonis and Yuan.

Team A
Ella almost laughed out loud when she heard the yell of Alice. “I am beneath a child,” she thinks to herself. Her body quickly alters from a gorgeous woman with dark purple hair, green eyes, and violet lips to a blond haired female with starry eyes. She then performs a number of hand signs to create six clones. These were no mere clones but Genjutsu Clones. They were no push over’s. They could take as much damage as the one who created them. The clones all disappear into the snow but one. “The games shall soon begin,” she thinks to each clone, “go to my teammates and look after them.” She then faces forward to watch Reina and the others conversation from yards away. A small girl with blue skins and multi-colored eyes then looks at a male with short brown and blond hair and a tear drop under one eye. “Do not act yet. Keep your form. Pixie, I want you to keep your armor on and Sonnet, keep your Melody Arm ready,” thinks Ella only to them as they nod.

Team B
Akou sits high in a tree near the village scouting the area as Shaneko practices her sword place in the snow. She was in her all metal attire and was moving with swift and delicate movements; almost as though she weren’t carrying a large number of items on her person. Anthro smiles Steel watches Shaneko closely. Anthro dressed in normal civilian clothing but was completely black. Steel, was covered in various metals and torn bits of clothing. Upon his head was something anyone would laugh at. He had a small pink hood hat on his head which didn’t match his monstrous appearance. Steel suddenly leaps and tackles someone with blond hair as a rock is flung near his location. He leaps off of the female to see it was one of the Genjutsu Clones. He looks at her apologetically but does not speak. It quickly runs pass him and up the tree to meet Akou. After a moment of them touching, the clone smiles at Akou as he does her. The others seemed to notice their smile and continued as they had been before. Not too far from them, they could see the entrance to the village.

Team C
Nimen, covered in an all white rubber attire with a furry hood, sits on a rock atop a high hill overlooking the entire village. A female with a scarf tied around her waist sits close beside her fiddling with the scarf. She wore only a white long sleeve turtle neck sweater with a thick navy blue vest with sweat pants and ninja shoes. Her brown hair flails in the wind as her gray eyes scan over the area. Neither of the two spoke to one another and neither were alarmed when the clone appeared behind them. The clone sits quietly behind the two as the brown haired female known as Elizabeth sighs with delight. A male soon comes to the hill wearing an army fatigue coat and attire. He makes no attempt to greet the group and simply sits down beside the brown haired female.

Team D
Angelle sits a few feet from the docks under a large wool blanket as two males pace around her. One had red hair and was wearing a thick puffy red coat and royal navy blue pants and shoes. Another had on a mere black trench coat and a turtle neck green sweater with jeans. Every now and then a glint of light could be seen behind Angelle though no one would really be able to make it out. It was a large owl that tilted its head and looked around every few minutes. It was transparent and didn’t seem at all bothered by the cold. After a few minutes the males stop pacing as Angelle exams an approaching woman. She relaxes her muscles as the others begin pacing again. The Genjutsu Clone then walks in the middle of them all and simply stands there.

Team E
A woman in a floral pattern coat and gorgeous yellow eyes stands in a field of white snow as two others, a few yards from her, dart around the area. One figure has blue hair and seemed to have no true face but instead seemed like a face covered by a plastic bag. She seemed to have no eyes at all. With her were four little purple creatures with bunny ears. They screeched lowly now and then but were quiet as they moved for the most part. The other figure was a strange male that wore glasses despite the already small amount of visibility. He wore a coat similar to that of a Aburame’s coat and gray pants and ninja shoes. After they dart around a few times they halt as a woman enters their area. Soon after they return to what they were doing as the woman walks over to the floral pattern coat woman and sits close beside her.

Team F
A boy with wing tuffs on his arms and head seems to walk through a wooded area only a yard or two from the village. He wore a puffy white coat and white pants. His shoes were hidden by the snow that was slowly increasing in height. Close beside him were two males. One that seemed to emit a bluish light and wore the same coat as the winged male and another male with red and black colors. He wore a black version of the coat the others were wearing. Off in the distance, two regular seeming dogs run around in the village, sniffing here and there. They seemed harmless and resembled regular dogs. The group catches sight of a female and continue walking as she joins in their group.
