Hirako caught the scrolls in his hands, holding one of them in the same hand as his book. He grinned. It seems that they're getting along together, much better than before at least. He smiled a sincere smile. "I'm glad to hear you guys are okay. That bandit in there has been bothering people for a long time." Hirako looked out towards the sky. "Do you know why he was like that? It's because he was alone all the time." He nodded at the kids. "He had nobody to help him, no friends to lift him up. He had nobody he could trust." Hirako pointed at the kids. "You kids are lucky. You're not alone. You have friends. You have eachother. Without anyone to count on, you'd be in a very dark place." Hirako nodded solemnly. With that, he opened up the scrolls, revealing what the scrolls said.
The three of them together said: All for one. One for all.
(Sorry about the long wait. But... s**t happens. I'll post more often. I promise. Just Pm me if it's more than a day or two. )

Ame nodded in understanding. hat's true sensei... but wouldn't one feel discouraged about keeping friends around when they die on you anyways... It's pretty much annoying when you end up a jinx..." Ame was somewhat deep in thought. All, but two people, that had ever gotten close to her died in some horrible accident or assassination...

Ando shifted his gaze to Hirako as he spoke about friends and not being alone and the expression on his face changed to a troubled look. After his parents died he had noone who wanted to even get near him yet he wasn't bad. He thought for a while about the wors he spoke. Having people near you makes you a better person and having noone around makes you a bad person? Depends on what you define as bad...or different. Having friends makes you happy so you can continue to live to the fullest. Noone in your life...makes darkness in your life. Am I darkness? Still not quite understanding what he was talking about completely, he focused back on the group not attracting attention to himself.

Ame didn't want to keep staring at the smae spot for too long... people would think she was weird. So she glanced around a bit. Peering over the many rocks that that were before her she spotted someone else not too far off. "Ando...? Hey Ando!"

Ando heard someone call his name as he tok a quick glace around the area to see who it was. Quickly, he piered over to Ame and saw that she called him yet his expresion didn't change at all and he waved slightly at her tilting his head a little.
"...Hey Ame."

Ame tilted her head as he did and jumped over to him. "What's up... not being social today?" Ame was trying to get back into her old self, the usually happy one. "Is something bothering you Ando...?"

When Ame got near him, he looked at teh rock he was sitting on and turned his head to look at her slightly.
"...not really...nothing at all..."
He then reached behind his back in his pouch and shuffled around a bit looking for something.
"...oh yah. I got something for you..."

Ame raised her eyebrow. "Dont lie to me... I saw that look, something's wrong... but you dont have to talk about it. " She rolled her eyes slightly... Some people were so weird, she wasn't going to pressure anyone to spill their life secrets or whatever... She sat up straight at the next statement. "Sonething for me...? What is it...?' She was obviously curious now... It wasn't often that she recieved anything.

Zanza was so pissed, He picked up a nearby rock and crumble in his hand so that when he would realease it, it was mearly dust in the wind. " You had me risk not only my life, but the lifes of Ame and houka for some stupid scrolls with some stupid saying on it. You ignorant son of a......ahh screw it. What do we do now? " he asked falling back on the ground.

Ando grabbed something in his pouch and pulled it out from behind his back holding it towards Ame. He held out a stuffed doll towards her and he looked back at the ground, his hair now slightly covering his face.
"...someone told me...girls lke dolls...here."

Ame reached out and took the small doll from his hand. "It's cute... thank you Ando." She gave him a very sweet smile, she couldn't remember the last time she'd played with a doll... it had been so long ago. It reminded her of home and her childhood, when her family was still alive. She thought it was funny how a small inanimate object could bring up such memories and the emotions... "Thank you..." Her head turned as she heard Zanza's outburst. "Funny how things like that turn out, huh Zanza... There's nothing we can do about it now..."

"...Friends..."
Ando said softly almost to himself as he lookd down at the ground. He then stood up slowly looking up and stepped backwards to a large stone sitting behind him and held out his arms to his sides, the gentle breaze wofting his coat slightly. He extended his fingers almost instantly andbecame engulfed in a large burst of smoke. Three figures appeared in the smoke but it was too thick to make them out clearly and one jumped forward out of the cloud making a strange clacking noise. It was his puppet Terror that resembled a skeleton and a second figure came out landing to it's side making a similar clacking noise revealing it was his second puppet Dark. Finally, the third figure flew out and landed inbetween the two puppets with a crash making a slight crater in the ground when it landed. This was a new puppet that loked like a four-legged fiend covered in tombstones. Ando appeared ontop of the third new puppet and looked at Ame.
"...my friends...play?"

Houka didn't pay much attention to Ando this time, but he did listen to his team mates comments.
Houka nod's at Ame.
''I agree with you.This test was very important for us. We needed this in order to strengthen our team bounds. I thank you sensei.''
And Houka bowed before is sensei.
''I hope every one here understood their lesson's. We need to stick together for now if we want to survive. Otherwise, we may end up like that poor stiff in the cave...''

Ame was slightly confused... "Ah... Ando? What is your definition of 'play'? Are you saying you want to spar...? Or what... I'm kinda confused on what you're asking for here..." She rubbed the back of her head shyly... She had absolutly no clue what he was talking about... but when he said 'friends'... was he saying that his puppets were his only friends...?

"...spar with...friends."
While Ando sat on his third puppet, he extended his chakra threads to the other two and made them sit up making a cracking noise slowly turning towards Ame. Both extended one arm out towards her and opened their mouths for some reason. It was quite possable that they were about to shoot weapons out at her since both were equiped with several hidden weapons.
"ready...?"
