Am I getting smaller...
"Ohhh I am" The man said nodding slightly, he was proud; his son had been able to come from a farming family who had nothing; to being a high ranking Jounin; one of the highest Ranks you could be without being a Kage. That was something he was very proud about. "and Even just you making a comment to the Kage would be helpful seeing as how without it there is little chance for me to be able to hire the village for assistance" He said nodding slightly towards Yuzuki. The man walked around the field slightly; making it so that he didn't make any footprints in the tiled dirt. "Well You can just take it inside, for me" He said as he walked up to the door and slipped a key into the door's Keyhole before opening the door for Yuzuki. "Thank you again for helping me; I would only he about halfway home right now if it wasn't for you"
..Or is this thing getting Bigger?

Yuzuki easily followed in the mans footsteps as he walked around the feild, she assumed he wasn't careless for a reason, so she wasn't going to make an arrogent a** of herself for no reason. She paused only when the old man opened the door, and she carefully lowered the container of spices like how the old man did when he passed the jar to her, she carefully placed the it inside the door so that it was both easily accessible, and out of the way so it wouldn't accedently get bumped over.
"Hey, don't worry about it, it was good exersize for me. Though, before I leave, can I at least get a name so that the Kage knows who I'm talking about when I suggest making your escort something a little more affordable?"
Yuzuki was secretly greatful to get that damn thing off her back. She felt a hundred times lighter, she couldn't imagine how the old man did that constantly and not be perminantly disfigured from it. She was probably going to be a little stiff in the morning from working new muscles like that. But she could piss and moan about it to Chiyu later if only to bug him.

"My name? Ohhh, its Noujou" The older man said nodding towards Yuzuki slightly; he hopped that the girl would be able to get some kind of discount for him; if she couldn't he didn't really know what it was that he could do other then just go on his own and hope that no one attacked him. "Well have a good trip back to the village; I hope that you can work something out with the Raikage for me" He said walking over to one of the chairs that was in the living room, and sitting down letting out a slight sigh as he did so. Even though he wasn't and hadn't been carrying the container for a while; the man was clearly sore all over.

Yuzuki nodded and left the old man to his peace, she closed the door softly behind her and began to twist and formulate some manipulations she could try and get the Raikage with. Seeing as he had a son who served the village, and he was KIA... yes, she could try and get some use out of that information too. Yuzuki was again traced the tracks that her and the old man made prior so that she didn't disturb the earth to the sides of her feet. As she got more into the forest, she became more sensitive to her surrounds, not wanting to be ambushed by a group of bandits so soon out of the hospital, she took into the trees themselves while half plotting her aggressive speech to the Raikage on behalf of the old man. It would be good practice for her, if she could find out what pulled at the heartstrings of the Raikage then she could make him dance to her tune when she needed it the most. How delicious the thought. But that wasn't going to be for some time yet, and there was no garentee that he would take her bait anyway. She would start off addressing the Raikage with something more calm and build on the passion if need be. She hoped that she got that far, she wanted to see the Raikage either sink back into his seat or squirm under her words. Brillaint. Then again, if worse came to worse, she supposed that she could pull a favour for him, she had another one now that this last mission was done, granted, she didn't want to have to waste it on that old man and his spices... although, it would paint a more positive picture of herself, and if she could make other believe that she could do her thing from the shadows with less suspicion as time went on. There was always a good side to everything, if you took the right angle on it.

I'm one Nightmare...
Ugh, it was like deja vu all over again. Yuzuki fought back the urge to whistle 'Here I go again (on my own)' while she made her way through the tree tops. She dully watched the scenery as it passed by, keeping a weary eye open for some unexpected company. Yuzuki focused on getting through the forest, though she wasn't too thrilled about going back to the Leaf... again... she was interested in seeing if the Village had some heavy damage to it. Such a beautiful thing, the ruination of villages, buildings that once stood mute testiment to humanities achievements sundered and smashed down into a broken shell of its former self. She picked the sweet smell of burning wood and the choking black smoke cling to the earth that was perminantly scared from the infernos of conflict. She hoped that she was going to walk into a crippled nation capital. There was something that stirred her soul about such thoughts. Filled her with a morbid sense of peace.
Pushing such thoughts to the side, she begrudgingly took up looking around again, with cold, narrowed eyes she looked around at the green, ever thickening trees as they slowly rolled by. Boring. She hoped that time passed by quickly enought that she didn't go slightly crazy. Hmm... she wondered another thought too... she wondered what Kazin was going to do now that he saw an unmasked side of her? It wouldn't surprise her if he either requested a team transfer, or tried to 'fix her'. The thought aggitated her, it would be another case of trying to shave down a square to fit into a round hole. Discusting. However, she was sure to find out sooner of later when she got back to the leaf....you won't wake up from.

As Yuzuki continued through the woods; a faint rustling could be heard coming from the woods off to the side of her; it didn't seem like much at first however over the hour that she continued through the forest the sound seemed to follow behind her. Remaining out of sight the whole time that this happened. It seemed to have started a few minutes after the girl had left the village hidden in the Clouds.

Yuzuki paused and pulled herself deeper into the embrace of the green shrubbery of the tree tops. Yuzuki waited for a moment, preparing some smoke bombs and some kunai incase she was attacked. Though, if she was going to be attacked, they probably would have done so by now. Granted, that wasn't a forsure thing, and it had been following her for some time, she had kept her senses up incase it attacked. But the attack never came. It would put her mind at ease a little more if she knew what it was, and if it was a threat, deal with it swiftly so she could focus on one thing at a time. Her eyes scanned down where the noise was last heard, waiting for either some chatting or some movement from around her. The rustling sounded faint, like there was a small animal, or a pretty good ninja, Chuunin, maybe? She slowly positioned her body to get into a rapid response position, ready for what was going to come... hopefully....you won't wake up from.

As Yuzuki looked over at where the sound had been coming from; the sound suddenly vanished; it was on the same level of stealth as at least A Chunin; the sound's completely vanished from ear shot. What ever it was; was either; hiding, stalking; or simply didn't want to be seen. However what ever it was; it had been following the girl for a fairly long time; and was waiting for something. Even the faint sound of bending grass seemed to vanish.

'Interesting...' Yuzuki frown slightly, she was not sure what was going on, if it was a spy, then it was doing a good job, If it was an assassin, then she would have been attack by now. If she could pinpoint a location, she could put it under a genjutsu and then pull it out that way. Yuzuki's eyes narrowed and she started off again, She had a plan, she would go forwards and focus subtly on where the footsteps were coming from, then she would body flicker to behind where the sounds were coming from and hopefully catch whatever it was off guard. She had no problems picking away at this until it was solved and she nailed the pursurer to the tree and showed them the contents of their insides until she got her answers. Chiyu said that she would benefit from polishing up her people skills, and this would be excellent practice for her. Was it a betrayal from the Raikage? A rival? Whatever it was, she left alone and she would return with only the people she was assigned to fetch. No more, no less... if she could help it. If that was the Shukaku she might be bringing Kiko back in a jam jar.
Yuzuki pushed off and continued on, her ears glued to her surroundings and waited to pinpoint the location of whoever was following her. Her plan was in motion, now it was time to execute....you won't wake up from.

Big ******** Cat
I'm a Cat, I'm a Cat, I'm a Cat...
As Yuzuki turned to continue on her path towards where She has last seen Kiko; as well as Shukaku and the others who had been there at the same time; a large Jaguar bound from from within the cover; with its amazing jumping ability as well as the fact that spent a good deal of there time in tree's the limbs of the surrounding tree's didn't seem to bother it at all; in fact it appeared to move easier on in the treetops the Yuzuki herself did. It appeared that the Cat had been stalking Yuzuki and waiting for her to be open; and now that She knew that she was being followed now as good a time as ever for an attack.
The Large cat quickly made its way to Yuzuki's current position; making it there in a matter of seconds. The Cat letting out an ear splitting Roar as it jumped towards the Girl.

I'm one Nightmare...
Yuzuki might have been a Genin, but she was no fool... and she was far too self-preserving to just leave herself as open as she appeared.
Still, she wasn't exactly expecting this, nor was she prepared for the speed in which the walking flea motel was decending upon her. Yuzuki stayed calm, knowing that panic would result in mistakes, and mistakes would cost her her life. By the time that the teeth of monstrosity came into contact with Yuzuki, there was a large expansion of smoke and the taste of a bark if the tree infiltated the mouth of the overgrown throw-rug... and just because Yuzuki didn't want to be thought of as rude, she left a little gift for the big kitty in the form of a pair of exploding tags.
Yuzuki peeked form behind a tree, she held her right arm that was bleeding prefusily from the claw marks of the Jaguar when it tried to grab her. She closed her left eye and tried to slow her breathing and assess the situation while she prepared another exploding tag and a kunai just in case. She kept a careful eye on the jaguar, it was a pitty really, that she would most likely have to blow the thing sky high, it would have made a lovely trophy for her wall or her. She was hoping that would take care of her problem, but the damn thing was so fast. She curtainly didn't want to be stalked by this thing any longer than she had too. She was hoping to save her chakra if she could. This would be a weapon job. Yuzuki lowered her arm and ghosted as best she could through the bushes and trees to keep herself moving, hoping to not allow another opening now that she knew what speeds this thing was capable of if it survived....you won't wake up from.

Big ******** Cat
I'm a Cat, I'm a Cat, I'm a Cat...
As Yuzuki vanished and used substitution Jutsu and the chunk of wood filled the cats mouth; it shook its head a few times and literally crushed the chunk of wood that was in its mouth. The Cat looked down after the splintering bark was no longer in the air around it; almost as though it saw things in slow motion; the cat managed to Jump just in time to avoid most of the explosion from the two tags; the tree that the cat had just been in breaking at the point of the tags, sending half of it down to the ground.
As this happened the Cat; which was injured but not horribly managed to continue to track the girl; after all, it hunted things that where larger; AND faster then even the over weight; and quickest Shinobi. However with the mixture of Yuzuki going in stealth mode; as well as the Cat Stalking the girl; which meant it was being quieter then its pray; the entire forest seemed to grow silent.

I'm one Nightmare...
Yuzuki was trying to turn this little game around, trying to become the hunter instead of the prey, it was a dodgy and dangerous game of peek-a-boo. Whenever Yuzuki thought she saw the Jaguar and then tried to position herself to a stalking poition before she lost it again, likewise, she was sure that she was out of the p***y cats claws for a while. She was actually enjoying the challange, it was good practice for her silent kill technique, it got her adrenaline pumping and her heart racing. Who would have known that something as beastial as this could prove such a rush. She almost wanted to tame it and keep it as a pet. So agile, so sleek... so full of blood. In the end, she thought that her scorpions would get jealous. Yuzuki started to get an idea. She gave a few flicks of her wrist and her demon claws returned to their aggressive postion over her fingers. The Jaguar seemed like an ambush predator... maybe it was time to let the cat get close enough to ambush her. Her claws had an advantage over the cats; well a couple actually, one she had a better reach, two; they were more slashing weapons than piercing despite the fact they could do both. The jaguar was probably stronger... and most likely as fast (if not more so) than she was. But she had some cunning that the beast didn't. She wanted to see if she could lure it out, she needed to think like a hunter, not like prey. Yuzuki paused and took a position in a higher part of a tree, she fiddled around with something before pressing her back against the tree, waiting for the cat to see if it recognized the potential danger. If it did, she would take the fight to the cat, if it did, she would some traps wittle it down before she engaged it, she was wounded, but then again so was the Jaguar. This would prove to be interesting....you won't wake up from.

 This...this couldn't be happening. The farther away she got from Ichi, the more she felt she should go back to him. Maybe it was her sense of pride, wanting to protect him, her precious person....Ichi saw through her cold exterior, and he kept her calm and from doing, well, stupid stuff. Without that, Kiko felt like she was teetering on the edge. Well...she'd have to apologize to him. She just wanted him to be stronger...and the person that he'd been looking for was there with him now. Kiko trudged along the forest, walking slowly with the situation weighing heavily on her mind, even as she picked up the still pungent smell of that b***h who'd turned Ichi into a monster....Tsukiko Unnerved Theme

Kiko's mind still weighed heavily, as she grew closer to the source of the stink that was procuring her nostrils. There she was...little b***h. And, oh my, something smelled of burning wood, and....cat. How convenient..."Hey b***h," Kiko spouted, sneering. "Looks like you've ******** up another 'easy' target..or has it ******** you up this time?" She leaned against the tree. "Are we a lone wolf again? You'll get yourself killed one day, you dumb little skank. Maybe today, if you're lucky, so I wouldn't need to say anything to Nemutai-sensei." Her tone was nasty, and Kiko showed her fangs-literally. It was a wonder that people didn't bother with the Inuzuka much-fangs, claws, speed...all natural.Tsukiko Unnerved Theme
