Kyu lifted his periwinkle face from the table, and rested his chin on the wood counter. With great effot, he responded to the silky male voice behind him, "Don't worry, I'm just dying slowly and painfully. Nothing to worry about." Kyu pushed himself out of his slouch, and sluggishly looked back, "The medics gave me just enough of an antidote to prevent me from dying. I need a real antidote to get rid of the stupid poison my 'trusted teammate' gave me in the last exam."
Kyuzaku turned to his right and stood up. He stretched his left arm over his head, and held his elbow with the other. Kyu switched the stretch, opting to have the right arm in the air, and hold the elbow with his left. As he stretched his all-important muscles, he casually said, "You're looking pretty good though. I don't think I saw you in the exams at all. Were you running late?" After finishing the stretch, Kyu grabbed his fork and stabbed a rib with it. Quickly, he plopped it in his mouth, and winced at the distorted flavor.

Saikoro chuckled softly as he tilted his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose so he could exam the shark boy better. "Sounds like you had it rough, man." He said with another laugh, pushing the shades back into place despite the darkening sky. "Mind if I join you." He said more then really asked as he simply sat down on the neighboring stool before continuing on, "Ah, I was there... there were more then just Allies and Invaders in that exam, ya know. Be glad that's all you really had to deal with, from what I saw your exam was like playing in a field of daisies compared to what I had to do..." Saikoro said with a playful grin, his hand pulling at his battle worn clothes. "s**t, I can't even lie. My exam scared the s**t out of me, I rushed everything and basically got the bare minimum to pass just so I wouldn't have to deal with it."
Shaking his head with yet another soft chuckle, Saikoro hailed down one of the bartenders and ordered two cups of honey herbal tea. "Anyways... Tell me about your exam. What were you poisoned with, do you know?" He questioned, his bright blue eyes watching his comrade carefully behind the shades.

Kyu sat down and shook his head. He prodded the meat in front of him, slightly nauseated by the sight of it now. Without taking his eyes off the plate, he said, "Heh, Saikoro, you seem to be in a chipper mood today. Your exam must not have been that bad." Kyu took his eyes off the half-eaten plate for a moment, and flashed his comrade a quick smile, "Honestly, I didn't even know you had the capacity to laugh."
Kyu's smile faded when he began to explain his exam. As he spoke, the genin lazily pushed a rib around his plate, swabbing the sweet barbecue sauce off the plate like a mop on a ship, "Basically, for our exam, we were given a job to do as an Ally or an Invader. My job was to kill the Ally on our team. Of our team of three, one member said he was an invader from the start. Killing other invaders gets extra points, so origionally, I was thinking about poisoning them both. But as time went on, I got a bit too into the trust exercise and at the same time, I grew a bit too suspicious."
"In the end, the ally on my team didn't trust me enough over the other invader. I tried to force his hand, but it backfired in my face. With no other options than the equivalent of a coin flip, I drank the vial he gave me. Turns out it was poison. I should have known better."
Kyu bowed his head, and held up his forehead with his hand. "The ninja world is a small one, bro. It might sound childish, but I'll get him back one of these days. I swear it."
"My big problem now is that I have no clue what kind of poison is in my system. Oral poisons could literally be anything; but seeing as I'm not dead yet, you can discount quite a few common poisons. What I could really use right now is some activated carbon, you know what I'm sayin' bro? That stuff is supposed to be a catch-all for a ton of oral toxins."

[Sneaking Awareness Check vs 554 to catch me pour something into the cup.
Normal Disguise Awareness Check vs 730 to notice something is wrong with the drink.]
Saikoro shook his head softly as a grin played against his lips, "Ah, I'm just feeling.... more like my true self if you get what I'm sayin'~ Wearing a mask for my entire life just to play nice with the higher ups, that's just ain't my style. I rather crack heads then do that." He said with a hardy laugh enthused more because he knew Kyu wouldn't fully understand where he was coming from, than what he was actually saying to him.
The man bobbed his head to the words Kyu said, his attention more settled on the two drinks that were placed before him by the bartender. "Mhm, mhm." He would repeat on a regular interval as though he was truly attentive but as the shark boy talked the man was secretly slipping in a drug into the two cups as he poured in a bit of milk into each. Swirling them around to mix out their contents he pushed one of the cups towards Kyu and held his own up in a celebratory manner, "Well... It's not carbonated blah blah thingy, and I'm no doctor but tea always makes people feel better~ Drink up bud."

Hibiki glared at every passerby as no one even acknowledged his existence. At least in Kiri the staff would still check up on him, despite his foulness. His rage began to increase his heart rate, letting the machine beside him begin to beep. The noise was droned out by the others that were also going off. A whiff of something good suddenly hit his olfactory senses as his anger subsided slightly. Oasis pranced by, and with a wave, left the tent easily, "Where the HELL do you think you're going?!" He shouted, but to no avail, there was too much commotion in the tent.
He threw his blanket to the ground and ripped out the cords that were attached to various places upon his body. Still, none of the Medical Shinobi seemed to notice or care as the young Inuzuka stormed out of the tent after the redhead. However, he stopped suddenly, <******** her, I have to find my damn Canine." Hibiki growled, turning on a dime and bolting towards another tent similar to the one he just exited.
After infiltrating a veterinarian tent of some sort, (and cussing out a medic who was patching up Kuro), the duo were finally back together, albeit both of them slightly disabled. Their usual quick motions now slurred together like the speech of a drunk as another bottle hit his lips. Hibiki's face displayed a look that would usually mean death if he had felt better while Kuro looked placid. Much like the undead, they shuffled their way through the crowd. Now it was his mission to find that energetic wind girl and finally ask her the questions she promised.
Sloppily, the Vulpine Duo jumped to a nearby building and scanned the crowd. Normally he would just look for the bright, blue beacon that was Oasis, but he figured she wouldn't activate whatever power she had right there. Oh, there she is! And sure enough she was in the crowd talking to a girl with...four arms?! What kind of food are they feeding those kids over there? His now calmed down as he watched the two converse, "Meh, we'll wait until later, Kuro." He replied to the Canine who had just whined.
They jumped off the roof, just as sloppy, and waltzed over to a nearby bridge. They sat on the edge and watch the river drift lazily by. "Kuro, I feel like s**t." Hibiki mumbled as he let his feet hang over the side. "And I have no idea where Kyu could be right now." Kuro half yipped, half growled in response, "No, I don't feel like tracking right now either...let's just chill til we have enough energy, ok?"

Quote: 860 vs 730 = +13% = 63% Chance The shark nin smiled weakly, "Heh, I suppose its always a good idea to actually act as yourself, bro. Although... It is quite a personality switch... Cold-as-ice commander to whatever you want to call what you're being now. Friendly maybe?" Kyu shrugged, and ran his hand through his hair. He closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them, tea was being pushed his way. "I'm not much into the carbonated stuff myself anyways. It's just not healthy, bro. Usually when I'm training, I stick to recovery drinks; stuff with high protein and nutrients. When I'm not, I never turn down juice, water, coffee, and other crap like that, y'know what I'm sayin' bro? Tea is always good though."
Kyu took a long breath of the herbal fragrance that came from the teacup. Bitter herbs and sweet honey mixed with creamy milk to make a delicate aroma. Kyu put the cup to his lips, and sipped the top of the cup. As soon as the liquid touched his tongue, he pulled it away, and set the cup back down. "It might just be my medical condition... but something is off about this tea." Truthfully, Kyu could tell the difference between this flavor, and the taste distortion that happened with the ribs. In the first case, the food had a bitter after taste that would linger as soon as he swallowed. In the latter case, there was a strange and faint chemical flavor to the drink, similar to the poorly hidden medicinal flavors of a cheap energy drink. Kyu's eyes scanned the man sitting next to him; something was off. His personality wasn't the same as before, and his manner of speech had changed incredibly since their last meeting. What the hell is going on with Saikoro? Is this a hidden test in the exams? Could this guy be an impostor?

Takera had made his way back to the village and into a medical tent before long after the second exam finally came to a close. He had watched as the others moved to do their own things. He found it odd that Hatari had split off before getting medical help, but he decided to push the thought to the back of his head and focus on his own issues. The doctor strolled over from the patient in the makeshift bed next to Takera and casually began to speak. " You seem fit at a glance. Is there something wrong? Perhaps you've been poisoned like a majority of the others?" the doctor said as began writing on the pad of paper he had. Takera turned to look around the room at the others and then back to the doctor. " No. I wasn't poisoned. I've just been feeling a bit tired since I got back from the exam and I had been hit with a genjutsu of some sort during that time." Takera calmly stated. The doctor grabbed Takera's chin and turned his head to the left and then to the right. He then proceeded to pull forth a pen-light from his coat pocket and clicked it on. The doctor moved the pen-light up to shine into Takera's left eye and then into his right. He wrote a little more on the pad he had and then looked back up to Takera. " You've certainly been hit with something alright. It seems to show more than just mental effects upon you. Overall though, it's nothing close to fatal. Just lay down for an hour or so and rest. You should be back to normal by then." the doctor spoke as he continued to jot down a few more things. With that said he turned and walked to the next patient in the bed next to Takera's. Takera laid his head back across the pillow as he laid down and pulled his feet up and under the covers. He watched the roof of the medical tent for a few moments and then fell asleep. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dream Sequence Begin
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Takera found himself in a hazey dream. It was like a strange black void. Before long lines began to form and move in different directions. As they stretched and turned they began to connect and form images. The first image was of his father. It began to move as though not just a drawing and the expression of joy formed from the drawing's mouth, but soon after it turned to dismay and peril. The face his father had when Zeru and himself were seperated from their parents. Takera watched unable to hold a straight face as the fading began to fade away like dust in the wind going into the dark void. Takera stretched his arm forward desperately trying to grab the figure's hand and scream, but no noise came forth and the hand slipped away into dust as well. He stopped himself and before a moment could pass his mother appeared in the same drawing fashion. He could now almost hear what was like chalk on a drawing board. When she came forth she was like the other figure, and had the smile he'd last seen her with and as it unfolded, her face turned to terror as well as she was sucked up into the void following their father. He made no attempt to save her, but stood there his head hung low trying to restrain the tears. He knew these figures were what he could remember of his parents before the catastrophe was set apart and had known they weren't real. He felt a great deal of sorrow, but as it came about, it seemed an image drew itself around Takera in a 3D aspect encorporating himself in this sick twisted nightmare play. He watched as a house formed, Their house. It depicted a setting of the time when Zeru and Takera had come back from training and their parents were waiting for them, but their parents weren't actually there in the depiction. Only Zeru and Takera as kids were in this depiction. The expressions on their face only showed what could be tears and sadness as the lines shifted and showed the house to become run down and burned. Takera's eyes widened as he had forgotten that moment in time that happened so long ago. Then before his eyes everything blew away suddenly except for Takera himself and then before he realized it, he found himself warped into the way he was reflecting his feeling he'd buried for so long and was now face-to-face with another image that began to form from the ground up. The image was of himself. The form he took that presented the mask and wore the clothes he did today, and there was a look of cold seriousness in the figures eyes. He had come face to face with what he'd nearly become over all the this time. Suddenly the figure's arm reached out towards Takera, his form become almost the real thing. It grabbed him by the throat. He paniced for a second and watched as the other hand on the figure began to make handseals. Suddenly he felt the icy chill spreading from the figures hand into his throat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dream Sequence End
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Takera suddenly jerked up from his bed into a sitting position. He was breathing incredibly hard and his eyes had been flowing with tears down his face. He reached up to place a hand on his face, but only felt a chill as he felt the mask on his face. He stopped for and calmed himself, moving his feet from the covers to over the side of the bed. He looked over to see his bad and the shoulder plate resting atop of it that was his family's. He took a deep breath and removed the mask long enough to wipe his face before he turned it over to stare at the mask. After a moment he place the mask back on and strapped the arm-plate onto his shoulder. Rising to his feet, Takera grabbed his bag and made his way towards the exit of the tent, but before he could leave, he noticed Hibiki laying on the bed nearby with special equipment attached to him. The boy looked utterly miserable and lonely. Takera looked around, but didn't see Hibiki's pet anywhere. He was going to say something, but before he could the boy had sprung up in a fit of anger and rage tearing the stuff off of himself and making a full on move for the exit. Takera stepped out of his way and let him pass only to watch him enter a nearby tent. Takera didn't follow him into the next tent, but instead headed out and down the street towards the town. He walked uncommonly slowly as the nightmare kept creeping into his mind. He was almost like a ghost drifting through the street for a while as he had thought over everything that happened and what had become of him since he last saw his parents. Takera took in a deep breathe as he came upon the bridge in the town he'd crossed over once before. There stood Hibiki now with his pet, but he still looked ill and otherwise disturbed by something. As Takera passed them by, he raised his head and looked at them. " Don't work yourself too hard." He spoke with a bit of care behind his voice. He turned to face away and to the path again continuing to walk on. He only felt it necessary to say so since he hadn't been able to speak in the medical tent. He passed various peoples and places in the town as he just sort of drifted through the village. Soon he came about a restraunt-like bar that served BBQ and other foods. He considered stopping in, but his appetite was almost all but non-existant. He noticed Kyuzaku sitting inside with another man through the window and pondered for a moment. He may know something about Zeru... But can I trust him with my identity? Takera thought as he shook his head lightly and he moved on down the paths. He had continued to just explore the town for a while before he came about a parkway with a solid almost tent-like earthy structure in it's near-center. It didn't look like it was part of the area and seemed as though it was made by another person not too long ago at all. He looked around and came up to other side of the park-like area where he noticed dirt like tracks. Almost like tracks from footwear of a child. They lead off into the other part of the village. Takera followed the tracks into the other part of the village until he found himself only a good few yards from the crippled boy, a small boy who proceeded to run inside, and then after a short moment, an old man who'd made his way out of the shop to confront the crippled boy. From where he stood it seemed as though the old man was being appreciative of the crippled boy. Takera moved up and towards them coming around from the open area beside the crippled boy with a puzzled look on his face. As he came closer he noticed that the store seemed banged up almost. " Hey- ...What happened here?" Takera spoke as he took in the surroundings. It seemed as though the store was downright assaulted.

Shortly after the store-owner and Notwen had began discussing the plan to ambush the perpetrators who had ransacked the store, the masked kid from before showed up on the scene. The dark-skinned blonde's eye twitched a little as he tried not to act on his current animosity towards him. Notwen spread his web of intrigue between himself and the kid and spoke directly into his mind.
"If it wasn't obvious, this store was attacked." After a brief pause he continued. "You're more than welcome to help me out in this operation but you will have to answer some of my questions in exchange. If you opt not to answer my questions you might as well go on about your business. I am more than enough to fulfill this task." While this exchange of words was going on the old man continued with a summary of how the plan was to be carried out.
"Those hoodlums always come around midnight, when activity around the village is at its highest. They come up from the southern area and break in through that window," he said, pointing at the large rectangular window, which had been patched up repeatedly with heavy-duty transparent tape. "After that they smash everything in sight and take anything they deem valuable." Notwen nodded, memorizing the man's summary of the deviants' movements.
"Are there any places in which we can hide for the ambush?" he asked, placing his arm around the shrouded Novvus' shoulder and gesturing at the masked boy. The old man rubbed his chin thoughtfully for half a minute before he came to a conclusion.
"There are wooden crossbeams near the ceiling. They are old, but more than plenty enough for each of you to have four of your own. Those bastards wouldn't expect for anyone to be up there." He smiled again. "Let me show you guys the lay of the land." The old man beckoned to them to enter the store. Notwen allowed Novvus to enter the store first with only the slightest movements on his fingers. The crippled Uchiha then turned to face the white-haired kid and spoke to him mentally once more.
"As i stated earlier. You can join me if you wish, but you have to abide by my terms. And trust me when i say that i will know whether you intend to do so or not." With that said he ventured into the store behind his puppet.
The inside of the store was a complete mess. Shards of broken glass crunched under their feet as they walked around. Notwen looked around the small room and was disheartened by what he saw. A glass door cabinet was completely smashed and its contents, a myriad of complete and incomplete puppets, were bashed and splintered to the point that they were now unusable. Thanks to the effects of his awareness dome, the dark-skinned blonde could feel the heartache the old man was feeling. His life's work... Ruined by assholes with no lives... fumed Notwen as he looked from corner to corner at the partially restored shop. Looking up, he saw the crossbeams the storekeeper was talking about earlier. "Sir, we'll stake out up there for the time being. Continue your daily routine and lock up when the time comes. You can trust your store to me. We will try to keep any further damage to a minimum." The old man nodded.
"Thank you, son. Bless your heart." said the man thankfully and called out to his grandson. Notwen turned to face the masked boy, who should have come into the store by then.
"Come, we have lots of things to discuss." Notwen manipulated Novvus to do exactly what he did and ran up the wall and up to the crossbeams.

Hatari sighed momentarily just before thinking to himself in prospects of how the exams were going. 'Hmm, I wonder where Rizu and Meitsu went.... even though this 'team' effort is over I'd still like to know more about them... after all... I do need members for this joint I'm going to be pulling off after the Exams....Haha...' A smirk appeared upon his face as he began to walk once more, as he continued through the crowd he looked back and noticed the same shop in which Heiso was from she looked tired and form the looks of it was about to drop a bunch of shinobi scrolls. within seconds Hatari was by her side only to catch her when she fell from exhaustion. "H-Hatari...why...why thank you... I didn't realize you were back in the area." He gently took some of the scrolls from her and lifted her up gently before whispering within her ear. She of course blushed just before looking down. A scroll had fallen between her bust as she blushed brightly; however, Hatari couldn't help but gently laugh as he found it to be a interesting accident in which turned out to be a perverted gesture from him. "Don't worry too much about it, I'm not that much of a pervert..Just a small one, now where can we put these so we can talk without holding a bunch of scrolls...of..." Heiso immediately answered the questionable status of Hatari's question in a fritz as she blushed once more. "Summoning scrolls....they are Sensei-Kato's Personal Summoning scrolls, He asked if I would get them for him since they were across the village and I said of course; however,..." Before Heiso had time to answer Hatari quickly finished the sentence with his own twist. "However, you became damsel in distress and I was your prince charming and saved the day... yes I know...So please once we're done putting these up would you like to have that ramen?" She blushed momentarily leaving a moment in silence just before answering him once more. "I'd love to...but" Soon after Kato's voice could be heard in the back of the shop as he finished the sentence she started. "But nothing, She has nothing to do tonight, So take care of her Hatari and please have her back before it gets too late... I can't help but know there are thugs and the sorts who roam around this village at nice, especially since the exams are here... they're always looking for people to beat up on and then take their stuff for their own profit." Hatari's eyebrow raised it's self once more just before taking in a short breath and sighing gently. he was quick to respond to Kota's speech of trouble. "Kota my old friend you have nothing to worry about I came in fourth place at the end of the first and second exam tests; therefore, I am capable of protecting this beautiful flower from any harm, I give you my honest word that if she's touched by any other man except me you can place a scar upon my right eye..." Kota revealing himself from the back of the shop and soon walked his way around to the front of the shop to greet both that of Heiso and Hatari, He sighed momentarily just before picking the scroll from between Heiso's bust and then took the rest from her and Hatari and nodded his head to shoo them away. "I trust you with my pupils life, now please go have fun, and I'll close the shop." Heiso smiled gently and bowed to Kota just before looking up at Hatari with the happiest eyes Hatari had ever seen before. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek with his hand. "So then I suppose Ramen and then a walk around the lake would be nice. gaze upon the stars and moon, make it a romantic night indeed." Heiso nodded and quickly grabbed Hatari's hand and snuggled up to him quickly as he was slightly startled and then settled into the mood himself. "Thank you for this, I haven't been out in so long, Senei-Kota has been so generous I figured I'd stay at the shop and help him out with anything he needed to have done to keep his shop open. I on the other hand .... my family went into debt and now I'm surviving under Sensei-Kota's ruling." Heiso seemed to cling to Hatari as if she had lost everything she had ever cared about as if it was all taken by someone. Hatari felt the same about his parents as he couldn't help but notice the sadness within her eyes as they looked upon one another. "What is it Heiso...Tell me and I'll try my best to fix it... " Heiso quieted down before gently looking up into the night sky and looking upon the moon. "I'm afraid... I'm so very afraid as this point in time... I wish I could feel more than pain and sorrow for what's happened to my family... I just couldn't take it if you didn't understand...someone like yourself who could possibly save me from my destiny..." Hatari's mental thought process stopped momentarily just before looking down upon her as he saw the fear within her eyes. "What is it... I'll do anything I need to do to keep you safe...just tell me Heiso..." She couldn't help but cling to him within a manner of fright. "I'm a member of the royal clan Hian, I'm to be the sole heir of the clan; however, my parents were murdered and the clan was taken from my order." Hatari's eyes widened just before holding her close to him, he couldn't believe such a thing could happen to such a wonderful beautiful flower such as herself. "Tell me.... who was the one who murdered your family.." He squeezed his jacket momentarily just before speaking in a low voiced manner as tears began to form. "Teisu....Teisu my older brother murdered my parents..." Hatari held her even tighter now as he couldn't believe such a thing could happen. Something so cruel and so cold something only a monster would do for his own selfishness to gain power and rule with terror. "That's unforgivable....for someone such as a family member to kill off their siblings just for power.... it's nothing but greed, lust and envy towards those who rule with a kind heart, Teisu won't hurt you I promise... I'll protect you no matter what." Heiso grew closer to Hatari as she gripped at his jacket tighter. "Hatari, you can't... everyone who's tried to protect me has died from trying.. so please let me just enjoy the time I have and when the time comes just let me go okay... I don't want you to end up like my parents...and even if you were to protect me I'd never allow you to harm my brother... no matter how cruel or selfish he is, he's still my family and I can't react on the feelings of revenge what type of royal clansmen would I be if I allowed such pity issues consume me like it's consumed my brother...I'm going for the sake that others won't be killed for my selfishness, that's just the way it has to be. please just hold me and be here for me without worrying to much on the issue at hand... I want to feel one last time before Teisu sends for me...please would you do that for me..." Hatari looked into her eyes for a moments time before leaning down to kiss her upon her soft lips. Heiso....I will carry your revenge within me, I will kill your brother when need be in order to protect you...I won't let you give your life for such evil wills of desire. Heiso was hesitant within the kiss before finally giving into Hatari and thus gave herself to him. Hours passed by as Hatari and Heiso spent the early night together. they had skipped the ramen shop and headed for the lake as they gently laid down next to each other and stared off into the sky watching the moon and the never ending cycle of stars, and of course their own time spent with one another. Heiso woke up to a noise beside her only to find a masked Shinobi's hand over her mouth his eyes pierced her soul as a group of Shinobi soon appeared behind him. it had been so soon and yet she took the only night with Hatari as her one and only most treasured moments within her short lived life. She allowed the Hian clan members to take her without a fight; however moving cause Hatari to stir within his sleep and thus turning over to hold Heiso, realizing she wasn't there he made a panic only to get knocked out by a pole stick to the back of his neck. Heiso couldn't do much but sit and watch as she was carried away in the direction of the Hian royal Castle. Hours later it was mid noon as Hatari came back into consciousness. A blanket had been thrown over his body to spare the villagers of his naked body as he covered his eyes with his hand to keep the sun from coming into them. He questioned the night before as he quickly rose up in a sitting position turning his head both to the left then the right and gripped the cover that laid upon him. "Where is she... where is Heiso!...Damn it!" A figure appeared out of the left side of his eye sight as he turned and questioned the person next to him. "Relax.... Kota sent me out here to look for you and Heiso...by the way you've just acted I suspect you were knocked out cold before you could even get to your feet to stop the Hian clan from taking Heiso away from you am I right?" Hatari looked puzzled just before gaining his order of time correct, he looked back up only to see a young male of his age with short purple hair and green eyes. [ Deski ] "I'm Deski, and these two are [ Kai ] and [ Zelu ] We're going to help you find Heiso; however, in the mean time we all have to go back and talk with Kota...Apparently you two made a Deal and he's keeping his end, therefore you're going to get scolded for not listening to him." The orange haired guy stepped forward and pulled Hatari up by the arm and quickly spoke in a rough manner as he threw him his clothes. "Put your s**t in your pants and let's go...You're a dumb a** you know...Our Heiso isn't a normal woman, she's a royal member of our clan and for you to just go about your business like that is disgraceful!" Deski quickly smacked Kai upside the head and pulled him off Hatari like a dog on a leash. He sighed momentarily before Watching Hatari's reaction to Kai notifying him that they were of the Hian clan. "Now...now stay where you are before you get hurt Hatari... as you already know I am Zelu, and to be honest, Kai has a point no matter how hot-headed or rude he may be; however, telling you that we are of the Hian clan is only half the story, we're on Heiso's side and we were placed here by Kota to find you and to save the last heir of the Hian clan before Teisu destroyed everything in which their parents created for us and this village..." Deski placed a hand on Zelu's shoulder simply to state it was alright, Zelu stood down as Deski took the lead once again. "So know who you're with and why we are here with you, you are the protector of the heir of the last will of Hian, you must help us in retrieving her before Teisu condemns her to death for his own selfishness." Hatari sighed as he stood in placed then spoke in guilt ridden words. "before we fell a sleep she told me that if I ever confined the courage to come after Teisu to kill him and to protect her she'd kill herself... therefore making it pointless to come after her... I'd like to help but I don't want to disobey her wishes." Hatari looked up momentarily just before Kai's left fist connected with his jaw causing him to fly backwards into the air and land hard upon his back. Kai stood up over him and grabbed Hatari's jacket just before yanking him forward once more. "To be honest I don't give a s**t what she told you to do, I know as well as you do that we're going to go rescue her no matter what, so stop this crybaby bullshit and pull yourself together, you had a moment with Heiso, that doesn't make you a helpless soul with no will to fight! now get your a** up before I punch your teeth out you dumb a**!" Zelu looked over to Deski and simply shook his head; however, Deski didn't step in this time, He knew for all that was right Kai was much better at getting people back into fighting spirits since he had a way with words and emotions. "Kai, do what you need to so that he understands what we're asking of him; however make it quick I wouldn't want to keep Kota waiting much longer..." Kai looked up only to look back down once more and thus raise his fist once more and slam it back down into Hatari's face. "you're just another ******** loser that was captivated by Heiso's beauty, you couldn't give two shits about her now could you...You got what you wanted and now your done with her...did she mean nothing to you in that short amount of time you p***k!" Another fish rose and went forward only for Hatari to catch Kai's fist and quickly kick him into the air only to wait until he was low enough to kick him aside. "Don't you ever talk about Heiso like that! She is truly dear to me in a way that I understand her and the sorrows that she's had to carry upon her shoulders, I'll kill Teisu for hurting her and I'll kill anyone who gets in my way understand!" Zelu chuckled lightly as Kai picked himself up off the ground and held his stomach for a moments time. "Nice work Kai, I think you've pissed him off to the point where he's motivated again...Now only if you didn't have to get beat up all the time to do this...I truly do feel sorry for you; however, you do after all have the toughest taijutsu style I've ever seen as of yet." Kai threw a thumbs up to Zelu as Deski looked over to Hatari. "Now since you're motivated again lets move we've got business to attend to and a Flower to save as you spoke of in your sleep..."

"That's right... The flower in which I hold close to my heart...It's time to get moving...Kai I appreciate the boost of confidence, Zelu thank you for not letting me get hot-headed and Deski, you may inform me about the situation, now isn't the time to stand and talk we must go and as fast as we can..." kai And Zelu nodded as Hatari quickly and Deski lead the way to Kota's shop. Running there wasn't too easy as the place was filled with tourists and of the sort. Deski kept close to Hatari and began to tell the story of the Hian clan. "it was two sentries ago that the Hian clan actually came to be well renowned by many, Teisu's and Heiso's grand parents were the original founders, within time their uncle and father were born and brought up as equals, it's said that on their parents deathbed they changed their minds in picking a Heir, as Teisu's and Heiso's uncle was to be Heir; however, the fact of why they had decided to go with the Royals father instead of their uncle was unknown and thus only known to their grandparents in which died soon after announcing their father as Heir. As the years went by their uncle became jealous of his brother and wanted the clans power for his own; however, each time he tried for it he was brought down by the noble honor of his brothers wisdom alone, not being able to kill his own brother their uncle had to wait for many years, then a favor was brought upon the uncle as their father found a beautiful woman who soon after meeting their father became pregnant with Teisu. As Teisu was growing up his uncle spent allot of time with him due to his fathers busy days and holding up the peace between the royal clan and the village. What Teisu's father didn't know what that his brother was influencing his son with false and evil emotions towards his father, thus the poison began to spread within the now evil person you've heard about. two years went by before Heiso was born, Teisu loved his sister and wanted to care for her every waking moment he possibly could, and thus he did so. this left little to no time for him to pay attention to his uncles demands or evil schemes for it was time to take care of his little sister Heiso...however when they got older their parents spent much more time with Heiso then Teisu and thus the false lies and false feelings of hate was pushed into his heart by his uncle. with so much hate and pain of feeling alone he casted himself away and into the greedy hands of his uncle. his uncle used him as an delivery type person, mostly to kill a persons loved one or hurt them in oder to get money, jewelry and of the sorts. this only happened for a short while until someone say Teisu's crimes and reported it to his father as a honorable test of truth and loyalty to the clan, Teisu's father became outraged and when he went on the attack on his younger brother Teisu got caught up in the middle of it, when his father was about to finish the final blow to his uncle Teisu stepped in between them and killed his father without knowing what he had just done, it seemed as if it were a natural reaction to save the person he was closest to and possibly just the sense of not feeling anything in the initial reaction of a knife put into someones flesh. as his father lay wounded upon the ground his mother ran to his aid only to watch her brother in-law kill his brother in cold blood. She couldn't live to tell the truth so He stabbed her in the heart and thus is when Teisu snapped and murdered his uncle for what he had done, all that done in front of him made him go insane to the point of believing it was his own fault that his almost all of his family was killed in cold blooded murder all due to his own naiveness. A care taker took care of him and Heiso up until they were both old enough to do as they wish, Heiso went to the village to forget about her past as Teisu declared himself Heir of the clan and thus began to rule it without mercy. This is why there's a war looming amongst the shadows currently... If we don't get Heiso back from him he'll destroy everything that opposes him, she's the only person who can rightfully stop him." Hatari sighed momentarily as he took everything in and understood how all of this happened, to be honest.... it was a web of lies to begin with that started all of this... would truth really prevail in such a small and narrow section of this entire mess. it was almost as if they had to find a needle within a hay stack just to accomplish anything. "it's heartfelt that Teisu had to go through such a traumatic scene of display at such a young age; however, he's old enough to understand what's right and what's wrong within this world, I'm prepared to kill him if it's required; however, it might cause Heiso pain, but I'm willing to protect her and everyone within this village and within that clan castle just so people can start living greater lives for the better of man kind and not of war..." Kai looked back and grunted as he spoke out to Hatari once more. "What makes you think you have what it takes to defeat Teisu, we've all tried and failed, hell Teisu himself is not laughing matter. Even if you were to get close enough to him he's got so much protection it's surreal. " Zelu sighed as he had to comment on what Kai was talking about. "It's the Royal jutsu of the family, it provides Teisu with so much power that nothing can hurt him or stop him, to be perfectly honest I know just about every counter possible and yet nothing I tried worked on Teisu... but with that said perhaps it's because We didn't have you to forcefully take back that in which we've all lost due to being ignorant of the Hian clans change of events." Deski quickly silenced the conversation as they were now at Kota's shop. the people were amass and thus it was hard to travel at a time like this. As soon as the four walked into the shop hut Hatari was quickly taken down to his knee's as Kota's hand was aimed for his throat. with a annoyed voice he spoke for the first time. "I warned you did I not...you thought it would be okay to stay out as late as you liked and yet I warned you something like this could very well happen..Not to mention you couldn't even save her at the last moment...what a pathetic shinobi you are I should just kill you where you stand!" Kota's hand moved back just before it swung forward Hatari's eyes closed as he accepted the fate he was about to be given, suddenly Deski stepped forward and caught Kota's hand just before holding a blade to his throat. "Excuse me sensei, but we can't allow you to do such a thing...it pains us to see you like this and you know we've always held to your wants and desires so please stop this and lets act like grown ups for once, we'll get Heiso back within time I promise you on my life." kai smirked just before added a little something to the mix. "you can kill us all if we don't succeed Haha, I'm so tough you probably couldn't even hurt me though.." Zelu simply chuckled before flicking Kai in the nose this made kai flip out and cry in anguish as his nose became red. "so much for being indestructible Kai..." Kota simply stood there before looking over to Deski he removed the boys hand from that of his own and quickly took a kunai from the shop wall and slid it upward onto Hatari's eye. This created a slash up and over hatari's eyes however it was precise enough not to cut through the eye. "Hatari Uchiha... you're mission is to bring back Heiso of the Hian clan safely and if need be Kill Teisu the current gang lord of the Hian clan if need be, do it with as little lives wasted and do it before Heiso is executed. This is your mission, you will follow it or be named a traitor by your village... do you understand this..." Hatari's eyes opened wide as he couldn't believe such a thing. "Hey, wait you can't tell me that!..." Deski put his arm in front of Hatari and simply nodded no, "the village and Kumo have made an honorable pact and thus you are now under his order Hatari...He controls all who are from Kumo when ever he pleases, and at this moment in time it causes the treaty to come in play as you are required to help Kota and us for that matter for if you don't war will break out between our nations, the only way to secure this from happening is to save Heiso the flower in which is so close and dear to your heart." Zelu and Kai watched as Kota's voice picked up within the room once more. "By the mark upon your right eye you are bound to my ruling until you have successfully brought what I am seeking back to me. therefore In the mean time I've forced a blood contract upon you, if you don't do as I wish I can instantly kill you without hesitation. you'll need something upon your journey to fight Teisu however, This is a personal scroll of mine in side is a summon by the name of Kisuke. He will provide you with unmentionable power. So get to know him before you call him out to battle, he won't serve you unless you're on his level of strength... which could be devastatingly painful towards you...however, now is not the time for loathsome feelings, you all have a mission to do now go do it." Hatari turned away only to slam his fist into a wall, looking back he simply stated the obvious thing to note. "I can't go any where just yet...I'm bound by honor to finish these exams! my family rests upon me to find them and save them..." Deski walked beside him while facing the opposite way from in which Hatari was standing and looking and spoke quietly about his misfortunes. "I understand your sense of honor and pride towards finding those in which are lost, but isn't it easier to find those who aren't really lost, only yet taken from you. trust me when I say, you should be ready to take this mission on because with it, you might become one step closer in finding those who are dear to you...Do not let your judgmental thoughts get into the way of you serving under Kota." Hatari looked towards the others and smirked lightly, "I'll pass the Chuunin Exams and then I'll risk my life to provide a rescue for Heiso... I won't let her down nor will I let anyone of you down. I promise..." Kai looked over to Hatari and chuckled lightly "It's sparing time soon! we've got to prepare ourselves for the up coming battles ahead don't you think, not to mention your kick was completely whack Haha, you hit almost as if you were a girl...we need to fix that indeed!" Hatari looked over to the three and laughed slightly..."So you three are going to spar against me huh... What an honor... When should we start?" Zelu smirked just before disappearing from sight and reappearing in front of Hatari. "Now...Now.. you know better than to ask silly questions..." Suddenly all four of them disappeared into thin air as they ended up within a training ground facility on the outerlayer of the village. "So long as you're not outside of the perimeters you'll be safe to train, and thus I've brought us to a location that is more suitable for combat. Hatari I must let you know that we aren't your usual shinobi we are of the Hian clan and for that we have special jutsu in which no one else has... to fight us is to be asking for death, do you understand we will provide you with the strength you need to push yourslef as far as you can go within the exams. We won't assure you anything for the exams have nothing to do with us; however, we want to make sure you're capable of going in against multiple targets so that you may rein victory over those in which you fight."

"Now that we're here I can't help but want to fight you Hatari! So give me your best Taijutus Style because I'm going to knock you off your feet!" With that said Kai quickly leaped up only to come back down with a fierce down swing of his left fist. Hatari quickly guarded himself; however, in an instant the ground beneath him crackled and crumbled as his body lowered with the ground until finally he collapsed due to the intense pressure. Suddenly out of now where Kai's right foot swung sideways only to connect to Hatari's left ribcage causing him to shift his weight into the right direction as he flew a few feet before trying to catch his grounds, as he did that he began to tumble and roll on the ground. "Damn it... you're much stronger than you appear... I can't believe the magnitude of your attacks... and my side is already bruised.... lucky son of a b...." Kai leaped forward once again only to throw another jaw breaking punch as Hatari began to fly once more Kai brought both both hands to either side of Hatari's arms just before pulling him forward to the point where his feet rose off the ground and thus both Kai's knee's connected with Hatari's chest as he flew back into some training equipment. Hatari was evidently not the best person equipped to fight the clansmen of the Hian clan, in fact they were much stronger than he was indeed. "Oh dear...I think this session is over, Seems like Hatari is already beat...Deski should I rewind the training session?" Deski looked back and nodded before smirking. "You could heal him and keep him alive, but other than that I'm afraid he's going to have kai to deal with for a while, up until the point he's spent of course... then It will be my turn to fight him. He'll learn quicker if we don't stop but maybe every other hour to heal his wounds... He's been so bent out of shape he needs to remember what fighting truly means to actually feel like dying...I think he's holding back on us for a reason..However he won't get anything done if he holds back and therefore we're going to drive the beast mad until it comes out and attacks us...then of course you'll have to suppress such a thing." Zelu looked up and sighed momentarily before speaking up once more. "And what if he happens to become too strong after all of this, then what are we suppose to do... just let him roam around with blood thirst on his mind..." Deski laughed to himself just before tilting his head back at Zelu. "if it means getting Heiso then so be it... however, no civilians will be hurt, I won't allow it... not to mention, Kota gave me a personal mission in which to tear the kid apart and make anew out of him...and thus I'm doing just that... Making a new out of an old rotted shell." Hatari picked himself up off the ground to see kai standing in front of him slightly laughing. "You know it's funny, you're suppose to be a shinobi and yet you can't even touch me how pathetic...I need to whip your a** in shape don't I ... What you lack in taijutsu you'll gain it all from fighting me, I don't deal with p***y shits like you on a daily basis, in fact I always fight people who are stronger than me." Kai bum-rushed towards Hatari as he seemed to glide through the transaction as if he was walking on air. He didn't understand how Kai was moving with such fluency. "Damn it my eyes don't have the power to keep up with him, I'm going to have to use it...I have no choice...Mangekyou!" Hatari's eyes exploded with power as his pupils followe Kai's every movement, he looked towards his friend/foe, and continued to stay focused with his intent to dodge his next attack. "Ah a User of the Sharingan huh... I've learned how to surpass even that of the power of the eye ability, it's simple really If I focus on my speed like this I can do anything!" Kai spoke in a high pumped toned voice as he quickly disappeared from sight, Hatari looking desperately for him just before realizing he was above him with a slapping leg kick to the face. Kai's leg caused Hatari's body to smack it's self up again the ground and thus Hatari choked on his own air before spitting out blood. "Damn you Kai... I can't get a single hit off of you..." Kai chuckled his way back a couple feet before looking down at hatari and spoke six simple words. "Because you don't think you can." looking Kai in the eyes Hatari realized what he had meant, "what are you getting at, mind over matter type s**t..." Kai laughed as Hatari stated the obvious. "Yes you dumb a**, if you honestly and one-hundred percent think you can do something then it'll happen other wise you're only second guessing yourself and thus setting yourself up to fail... god you're such a genius and yet you over complex things... learn to live a little and have fun, It's not every day you get to defend a village and save a princess you dipshit!" With that being Said Hatari looked up to kai and quickly decided that he was going to knock the living s**t out of the kid for being so ignorant and annoying. "Fine then I'm going to knock you the ******** out because you keep taunting me like I'm a weak Shinobi!" Hatari quickly got to his feet just before rampaging his way towards Kai. in the midst of everything Kai smirked and got into an actual defense position after attacking for so long he wanted a chance to block with everything he had. Hatari being the person he was quickly jumped a couple feet before hand and kicked out his legs thus performing a double legged drop kick straight to kai's chest and stomach. Kai being caught off guard took the full grunt of the blow and lost consciousness as he was kicked so hard that all of his joints cracked as he was impaled only to be tossed back a couple yards. Deski was quick to catch him before any real harm was done, Deski looked back up at Hatari and smirked momentarily. "I'll be damned.... you really are something Hatari...;however, he wasn't the one you needed to worry about, I'm a pro at both Ninjutsu and Taijutsu... so you've got a challenge on your hands. Zelu could you please take Kai for me and make sure he doesn't get harmed." Zelu looked towards Deski and nodded as Kai's body dissolved into nothing just before reappearing next to Zelu. Hatari looked over to Deski for a moment times just before sighing in an attempt to make it known he didn't want to do this any more. Zelu appeared next to him momentarily just before sighing he looked to Deski and spoke out to him. "He'll need to be patched up he's got some broken bones and some minor internal organ injuries; however that isn't a problem for me." Deski looked towards Zelu and nodded just before looking over towards Kai, For the most part it was just a lucky shot really, I don't think Kai intended for Hatari to do a double legged drop kick to the chest, I must admit it was a one shot type deal anyone else who had read his moves could have easily taken him for a loop then slammed him against the ground breaking more than just one bone...he's reckless but Sure has the will of a beast. "Just do what you can do Zelu he just has to be in a good enough condition to fight in, nothing tip top shape like... and if I break something I'm not stopping so don't interfere with our fight do you understand." Hatari looked towards Deski and saw that he was serious and more determined to show Hatari what he was capable of doing. zelu still next to Hatari drew from his jacket only to produce a weapon's scroll, He smirked just before tossing it over to Hatari, Hatari being one not to take things grabbed the scroll and thus unleashed it's levers. He bit his thumb and quickly broke the Jutsu Seal upon it as a Giant sword appeared within the air as it landed within the ground, it howled within the friction of the wind as he looked to Zelu for answers. "it's name is Howling Star, it's a blade in which feeds chakra to the wielder, due to the connecting of the blade to a enemies body...Meaning if you attack a person and your blade connects with them, they not only are hurt but their life is drained and thus fed into your body, do you understand..." Hatari nodded and gripped the blades handle with both hands just before pulling it from the ground, it was a dual bladed sword in which held some type of device between each blade. Finally Hatari ripped the blade upwards as it howled as the speed in which it was gripped, now it rested upon his shoulder as he looked towards Deski. "So where is your blade if you're going to have one there isn't any point in using this big thing if you aren't going to wield one" Deski laughed as he took two small daggers from his waist and quickly swirled them within his fingers. "I've been using these daggers allot longer than you've had that blade, So if you're wondering if I'll be able to hold you ff don't worry because I'll have you on the defensive this entire time...Don't underestimate me Hatari... I am stronger than I appear to be." With that Deski moved forward on his offense, Hatari barely had time to pull the blade off his shoulder as he took full swing towards his opponent; however Deski was indeed fast as he turned onto his back and slid beneath Hatari's legs only to come out behind him within an instant Deski rose up and struck Hatari's back with both blades in a downward V motion. Hatari couldn't help but turn back and watch as blood splashed from his back and off the two blades of the daggers. Deski's right foot quickly jumped upward as it kicked Hatari in the back causing him to fly forward and thus losing his balance Hatari went airborne. Deski taking this oportunity to strike once more this time kneeing Hatari in the stomach as he rose up into the sky, Hatari quickly placed howling star into ground as he lifted himself up by the handle and thus spun upward doing a front flip only to swing his right leg in a downward position as Deski was beneath him. Looking up Deski saw through Hatari's plans as he swiftly tossed both daggers to the ground as he caught Hatari's leg but didn't stop it from going down instead he pushed it to his left to cause Hatari to swing forth in a left motion before Deski picked up his leg and thus slammed him into the ground. doing several back flips Deski managed to pick up his daggers and get a fair distance away from Hatari. "Seems as if you're not ready just yet... Zelu heal him so that he doesn't miss the chuunin exams I'm afraid we must stop for now it seems he's got too much upon his mind at the moment..." Zelu appeared next to the broken and pretty beat up Hatari as his hand hovered over his body, a green light pierced that of Hatari's body as his wounds began to heal instantly. "Stop...Not yet...not just yet...I still want to train..." Zelu placed a foot onto Hatari's chest and nodded sideways. "Do you not know what kind of condition you are in... even if I heal your wounds you still have invisible scars not to mention you're thoughts are probably so scattered you can't even think right...your body needs old fashioned rest and I place to give it to you..." Deski Sighed as he couldn't help but walk away, all of this time and he still isn't capable of beating us... is he really ready to fight Teisu...I don't know any more.. "Ugh.... what the hell Hatari... we were sparing not trying to kill one another..." Kai leaned forward as he wiped the dry blood from his mouth and looked towards Deski. "I take it he couldn't beat you...Deski I know with some time he'll be able to take on Teisu and rescue Heiso for us and even for himself... if he puts his mind to it he can accomplish anything so please don't doubt him...He needs our help in this and we need his help. " Deski sighed as he patted Kai on the shoulder, looking back at Zelu and Hatari he smirked and looked down towards Kai. "you are right... I should put more faith in my team if I'm ever to be a team member, that's why you are apart of this group Kai, you're inspirational and straight up honest... without you I think we'd fall apart." Kai smacked away Deski's hand just before laughing. "you a*****e haha, you think I'm the only reason why we are good together, lets just be honest here... I'm the brawn, Zelu is the mind, and your the edge of the sword. together our blade is unstoppable!" Zelu took his foot off Hatari as soon as the young male stopped trying to get up as he snapped his fingers, suddenly the all appeared back in Kota's shop. Hatari looked upon himself and found that nothing was wrong, his clothes weren't ripped and things were just the way they actually were. "what the hell just happened?!" Zelu flicked Hatari on the head before handing him the same scroll as before. "a Training Genjutsu.... it trains the mind to react to the persons body, therefore you should be able to fight more fluently now. I hope you like the gift we've all given you; however is now time for you to continue on with the Exams, We shall meet you again once they exams are over with."

Saikoro laughed loudly as he spun around in his stool, his hand pulling his cup of tea quickly as he did. Shaking his head slowly, he pulled the cup to his lips and kept it there as he tried to calm his laughter, however instead of drinking it he pulled it back down to continue speaking. "I suppose it does seem quite bi-polar but do realize, you met me right after the majority of my team was killed and afterwords we went on a mission. Not exactly the situation to meet me on my best side, ya feel?"
The man chuckled once again and turned slightly to drink his tea but as he did a large sound of plates crashing to a shattering fall rang through the air, the voices of an angry patron and bartender quickly joining afterwords. "Ah~ Oops!" The chimed with a chuckle as he shifted out of his seat and looked at the damage done. All across the floor was beer, what was left of what looked to be a bowl of hot wings and shattered glass. Shaking his head, Saikoro simply made a gesture towards the large sword that was strapped to his back, "I swear, this thing can be such a hassle.. Oh well, Kyu, mind finishing up that tea? I think we should get out of here before they try to push that guy's bill on me~"

Kyu looked at the cup of tea, and shook his head, I can trust Saikoro, right? He was my superior for a mission... and he did rescue us after the Land of Frost failure... He knows enough to not be an imposter... I think... I should be careful though; don't drink too much, if it turns out to be yet another round of poison. Kyu swished the cup around, then took a sip from it politely before placing it back down. He tried to ignore the flavors in his mouth, when he swallowed the spoonful of liquid in his mouth hesitantly.
"Thanks for the offer bro, but honestly... I'm not feeling too thirsty. My condition has really wrecked havoc on my appetite. Let's just go now." Kyu got up, and walked out of the Barbeque and into the street. "So, that's Kubikiribōchō, right? The Decapitating Carving Knife? Does it work as well as it's said to?"

Saikoro simply shook his head at the barely touched tea, picking it up he drained it's remaining contents before downing his own with a sigh. "Shame~ I hear that the tea they serve in this country can cause miracles." He said simply before making his leave after Kyu from the immediate area, following the shark boy into the center of the street as people easily made way for him and his large sword. "Mmm, this thing?" He questioned with a shrug, his hand reaching over his shoulder to grab the handle before hefting it out of it's holster to hold before Kyu simply. "Would you like to find out first hand? Cause so far I've yet to use it for anything but for a convenient back rest."

Takera looked from object to object as the store seemed to be patched up crappily. It almost seemed as if things went down multiple times at this place. He then heard Notwen's psychic link. He realized the old man was still talking as if uninterupted and peered over to Notwen, who seemed as though he were doing something. He tried not to think about it much before responding. He pushed forth what felt like a thought that corresponded to the odd feeling inside his head and it became emitted back to Notwen in a reversed sense of using Notwen's technique to speak back. Even so, he kept his own personal thoughts to himself and only fed off what he wanted transmitted to Notwen. "This is... unconventional. Anyways, this place must've been ransacked a couple times looking over the shabby repairs that seem to show layers of attempted repair. Whoever attacked the store and these people must be stupid to choose such a time as these exams. As far as your questions go, I don't mind, but there's a limit to how far I'll let you prod my secrecy. You don't need to know everything by a long shot." Takera spoke back through the mind thought transfer abilities of Notwen's technique. Takera listened to the old man speak about the 'hoodlums', as he called them, and how they would strike again at midnight as it was the set time they seemed to follow in the past.
Takera listened as Notwen interjected asking about hiding places to get the drop on the enemies bound to show up and placed his arm around the puppet next to him. He didn't bother to actually look the puppet over as it wasn't the main concern of their current objective. Notwen made some kind of gesture at Takera, but they weren't moving and the gesture seemed a little off for the situation, so he raised his brow lightly under the mask and turned back to the shopkeeper as the old man took a moment to think. After a moment the old man spoke about the wooden crossbeams near the ceiling of the inner shop. He said there was plenty of room for the two boys to fit up there with their puppet and then smiled as he asked them to follow him into the shop. "I've already given you your answer. As for what you can tell, you can try as you might, but if I deem the subject is pushing it too far, you won't get anything more. " Takera responded through Notwen's link technique using thoughts. He was starting to adjust a little better to the technique.
Takera walked into the shop with Notwen and immediately heard a light crunch as he walked in. He took a look around the store taking everything he could in. He noticed that glass was strewn across the floor and there were fragments of wood and other such things laying around. In particular, what stood out most were the puppets inside a glass door cabinet that had been shattered. They had been utterly destroyed and now unusable. The shop was wrecked severely. No doubt a build up from the nightly attacks. He looked and saw the old man just ahead of him. He seemed disheartened by the destruction of his shop and the items in it, but looking over to Notwen, he realized that the crippled boy was also becoming disheartened but steadily it turned to frustration. He looked at the puppets once more and noticed something. "Wait a second.." He spoke as he moved over to the shattered glass cabinet. "He moved some pieces of glass and broken puppets that were huddled over each other to reveal another puppet. This one was a little smaller than the rest, but otherwise it was in near perfect condition. "I think when they smashed the case, this one fell and was hidden by the other ones that got beaten on and broken. This one is perfectly fine." Takera spoke as he picked the puppet up and brought it over to the old man. He handed it to him and then stepped back next to Notwen. Just then Notwen used his link to tell Takera it was time to get positioned and discuss some things. He watched as Notwen moved with the puppet and flew up the side of the wall to the wooden beams above. Takera didn't bother to respond to Notwen mentally or physically, he simply crouched down and instilled himself with a little hypnotic suggestion springing straight up in a huge ridiculous leap that send him just high enough to grab firmly with both hands to the wooden beam and pull himself up, getting into a sitting position on the wooden beams with one leg hanging off and the other propped up at a tent-like angle on the wooden beam. He faced Notwen who had made his way up already and simply waited for what he had to say.
