Tier arrived on the outskirts of the Rai Dojo. He stood behind a tree and out of physical view as his single yellow eye spotted several chakra signatures through the tree. Kwubara and Ren were also following behind him. He wasn't going to make a move until he saw it fit.

A gust makes its way along the wall of the Rai Dojo and slips into the building. It makes its way through the halls, looking for anything that might not be a private room or off limits. What it finds is the kitchen, and Reeve sitting there. Seeing him focusing, Jin decides it best not to disturb the man. Whatever he's doing seems to require a lot of concentration, and he might f*** up the process. So, he takes himself and Ookamimaru a little farther down the hall, just out of earshot. Then they reform and solidify.
Jin shakes his head. That feeling is something he's still getting used to. The dragon looks at Ookamimaru and quirks a brow. "You be alrigh', buddy? Ah know it were at sort notice 'n what nah, but was tha quickest way Ah could t'ink of."

"Let me clue you in on some things, Ishira. One, Kaimen was a pain in the a**. To think we 'sided' with him or that his opinions were all of ours is just misguided. Don't cast our lot in with him. Forgetting for the moment that I wasn't here for his term as headmaster, since I was enjoying your psychopath's, err... lesson plan.
Two: It shouldn't come as any great shock that you don't know whether my son is being held by Nekojiri. You didn't know that the people you were fighting the day we met were on your side. The man keeps things from you."
Inside the dojo, the real Reeve had been focusing all his attention on the various jutsu he was performing simultaneously to make the whole charade work, and on the conversation that incurred. So, when Jin enters, Reeve is startled, taking the presence for an enemy. Let's be honest, the man has the right to be a little jumpy lately. Snatching one of the kunai off the table, he turns and breathes a sigh of relief. The event puts him so off kilter that he even forgets to speak plainly.
"Arrah ******** me, startled me sure y'-"
Reeve breaks off as Jin leaves, but the problem here is, with Reeve being mid-jutsu, the clone does the exact same thing, giving him away. In the kitchen, Reeve facepalms as the clone outside flickers out of view.

She glanced at Iri after her suggestion, clearly not agreeing with the concept of giving Ishira anything just because of this stupid stunt.
Lina just tilted her head at Reeve's disappearance.
"You may not be a healer in title but you still used healing as a threat. False threat or not you still earned a point against yourself."
"I have little care what you say he did, even if true, just because your words always are lies of late. Besides you try to rope us in with a man most likely dead and unlikely to lead anyone even if he returned."
"You should think ahead. You don't even give the emotional ones time to calm themselves over your actions. Instead you choose to approach us when we're still tired and injured from previous battles just to exploit a threat. Your words are meaningless, but your actions speak truth."

"Irianna does have a point. This was rather tactless."
She nods just a little as the fury calms down, and waits. When Reeve disappears, she narrows her eyes and sends out a harmless pulse of energy, barely noticeable. Her eyes narrow farther, into thin slits, as she notices all of the newer arrivals, and Reeve in the dojo. Motoko holds her palms towards Iri, to show that they're empty, before placing a hand on Ishi's shoulder.
"They have us in check. I can't guarantee your safety with eight people on us, especially Tier and the Dragon. I barely have any information on him, and there's another I've never seen before. You need to make your move soon, or they'll have us in a tighter bind."

Jin notices sounds coming from the kitchen. He believes himself to be out of earshot of Reeve, but Reeve isn't out of earshot of him. Then again, he doesn't know if the man's human or not. Human's seem to be rare around here. Maybe he can hear them? In any case, he hears Reeve's reaction. And feels his jutsu flicker. Jin winces.
"Eh, oops? Ah tried me best ta get away wit' out ya noticin'. Mah bad. Hope Ah did nah mess up sommat too impor'ant." Then, on a lighter note, a rather excited Jin adds, "Oh! Ya sounded jus' like me! Where ya be from?"
The question is partly out of curiousity. And it's partly an attempt to humor Reeve. Yes, Jin does feel a little bad.
Iri's spies, sensitive as they are, pick up the pulse. Iri recognizes it for what it is, because of the wave pattern it sends through them. And she guesses the purpose behind it. Motoko's expression really gives it away. Why else would she suddenly narrow her eyes like that, unless she's noticed the gathering nin that Iri's spies have already alerted her of? After all, she may have guessed that Reeve was using a clone. Or at least considered it a possible factor. That shouldn't have set her off too badly. But five other hidden presences would have done the trick.
The Fury gives a little nod in response to Motoko's gesture, then holds her palms in a similar manner. She's not armed, either. To show it means she respects Motoko's decision not to fight. And she feels the same way. It doesn't have to turn into as bad a situation as what it seems. Nobody has to get hurt, because Ishira acted foolishly.

Ishiras eyes twitched. Great more people... Lina was the biggest problem right now, Iri and Reeve seemed to be thinking a bit more with their heads, though Reeve probably wanted to kill her. She narrowed her eyes, there was no way theyd be able to face all the people here, not right now... When Reeves image flickered and then disappeared, Ishira jumped back. Her eyes flicked to where the other auras were, great, this wasnt going well...
"Clearly outnumbered... " She growled to herself. Well this was stupid, very much a big mistake on her part. Then again she had not expected any one other then the three... And she hadnt come here to fight. It bugged her though, what Reeve had said... Neko doesnt lie to me, i just never ask.... It still bugged her though... She couldnt shake it. Ishira sighed, she had wanted her ring, badly.. Motoko was right though, she needed to lose the connections... "Well then, i think this is getting a bit too heated for my tastes... " Her little white wings spread and she gave them a bow, her eyes closed as she fought back her anger. And the fact that she didnt want to leave Reeve...
Lets go, im not ready to face the entire Academy right now... She touched Motokos hand, opening her eyes to look at the others. "We will take our leave then.. Sorry for the bother~."

Reeve holds up a hand for Jin. "Later."
He shuffles out of the building to where his clone had been, looking much worse for wear than the clone had. He doesn't speak at first, he just watches, a hand over the ragged injury in his chest.

As Ookamimaru solidifies, he stood there like it was forbidden to move.
When he notices he can move again, he touched his head, arms, stomach, legs, feet and in the end his tail, just to see that everything is still on his place.
When he saw everything was fine, he let a sigh of big relief.
"I thnk I am" He said to Jin.
Travelling that way is just... horrible!
Feeling that your body is blown away by a small gust of wind makes you feel powerless.
After he reassured himself everything was alright, he looked around.
He didn't know this place, but this must be the Rai dojo Iri was speaking of.

Lina just smiled at the anger displayed.
Her mind kept screaming at her to launch an attack over this whole idiotic display. She still stood, waiting, knowing Ishira's exit would be too fast to stop if she tried alone.

Ren caught up and stood behind Tier in the coverage of the forest.
Byakugan
The veins around Ren's eyes started to thicken and became physically visible. He could also see several people through the trees.
Ren whispered, "What's going on over there..?"

"Tch"
Motoko 's brow furrowed as the real Reeve emerged, frustrated that this would probably coax Ishira into staying longer. She kept her hand on her charge's shoulder, and slightly pulled her away, though her feet hadn't moved yet. She moved her eyes from Iri, though she still kept the pressure up. She was glad that Iri understood the situation, but still wouldn't let her guard down.
"Come on, you'll be better off without it."

Ishiras eyes pained at the sight of Reeve. She wanted to stay, with him, and she was tempted to walk forward to him. His silence kept her still for only a moment and when she went to go, Motoko grabbed her and pulled her back. It seemed to snap Ishira back and she shook her head....
"Maybe so..." She whispered before her wings spread wide and she turned to Motoko. She bowed her head lightly, her eyes closed before wrapping her arms around Motokos waist. "Hold still and im sorry for touching you this way... Its the easiest to carry you..." She said softly, keeping her eyes from Reeve and the others.

"Ever gonna make a move without Nekojiri or one of his pawns telling you to do it?" Reeve asks, cocking an eyebrow. He sways a little from fatigue.
