_ The sudden appearance of the Kazekage would be enough to stop both girls in the track. The narrowing of her eyes would give Umeko a great feeling of tension. Umeko would quickly gain the realization that the duo did not seemed welcomed here and seeing Maki rest her hand on the tsuba of her blade would only make it that more clear. She would let her free hand fall to her side, close enough to her bow to quickly grab it, if it was warranted. As Maki began to move forwards with the Umeko would try her best to hold her back inconspicuously, but to no avail as Umeko would also be pulled forward her as Maki would remove the scroll and offer it up to the Kazekage.

Kaori raised an eyebrow when the first genin put her hand on her weapon. She sighed and took the message from her hand. She felt her cat ears twitch and she huffed at the genin,"I'll let you live this time, but for future reference, if you make a move like that near a Kage, chances are, you are going to die. That is considered a threatening move, and the Kage probably won't even be able to get to you before their ANBU will. Now, I suppose this is from your Mizukage, you have my permission to rest here, I'm not heartless, but I want you out of here by tomorrow night. But before then, I suppose the Mizukage thinks this is important. Anything you could tell me about this?" Kaori then tilted her head and looked around, she honestly was half expecting Iwao to show up at this point. She rubbed at her eyes and sighed before she looked back at the girls, "Well? Speak."
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Suddenly the giant bear tamer, Iwao would pop up out of the ground next to his sister and hover a few inches off the ground, arms crossed across his broad chest. Grym, the nearly 1 ton giant bear, would appear as well, standing next to Nova. Iwao would look down at Kaori, “So I hear we had some cubs from Kiri visiting….” He’d then quiet down to a whisper so that only Kaori and their animals could hear him “No killing the Kiri cubs, sis…” he then look over at the genin, seeing their hands near their weapons, speaking calmly, “You two might want to take your hands away from your weapons, for your safety….” He thought for a second, then continued, “actually, hand over your weapons, I’ll make sure they are returned to you when it’s time for you to leave.” Iron sand would then extend from behind the massive man and split to reach out to the two foreign genin. When the weapons were placed on the platforms, the sand would curl around them and retract back to Iwao.

"Sorry about that...Muscle memory is a b***h to get rid of. The document was addressed to you. None of our business whats inside so Im afraid thats all I can tell you about it." She frowned at being asked to hand over her weapon but it was there territory. She had other ways to deal with threats but...they were less efficient. "You are aware of the older teachings from kirigakure? A slight narrowing of the eyes, a hard look, even a poisonously sweet attitude are all tells. You kill early, its possible you get immunity from the final tests. You learn to watch your backs.." She undid her belt and gently laid it on the sand as she finished her statement. "I expect it back in the exact same condition I hand it over in. Its only fair correct?" She asked looking up at the mountain of a man. "And I want a receipt.." She said even quieter, but with a smile at the careful nature of him. .

_ It would seem that only Maki's rather brave move would be the only one noticed and with such a movement, the Kazekage's response was rather benevolent. But it would seem that Umeko had mistaken her brash nature for hostility. The Kazekage's question would have to go unanswered as neither of the mist shinobis were informed of what the scroll contained. Her hands would relax, easing away from her weapon. "We weren't given any information on the contains of the scrolls only told to give it to you." A large man would suddenly arise from the sand beneath them next to the kazekage. He would warn both of them to move there hands away from the weapon the almost seconds ask them to hand them over. She would look down as he finished speaking, "My bow?" She hadn't parted with it since receiving it with the rest of his fathers effects after the incident. She would slowly reach behind her back and detach her quiver from the back of her belt, she would place the quiver on platform. She would hold her bow tightly before looking back at the hot sands behind them; had she been alone she would taken her chances with the deserts behind her. She would gently place the her bow on the platform releasing it and squeezing, Maki's hand tightly. "Please, don't damage it." She would say to the man.

Kaori rolled her eyes at her brother and shook her head. She crossed her arms at his words,"Oh shush, I was only going to scare them a little, why don't you just put all the fun in camps, you nazi." She watched as both girls put their weapons in the care of Iwao's iron sand and she relaxed just a little. She noticed how the mostly silent one had favored her bow, as if it were something truly precious to her. At her request, she nodded her head, "So long as you abide by proper etiquette, no harm will come to your belongings, we are not heartless here in Suna, merely cautious and battle wary. However, a kind warning; be careful how you speak to higher ranking shinobi, demanding that something return to you in the same condition you gave it is plain rude, you should have more care, since you are representing your village, and wars have been started throughout history for lesser slights. Now, like I said, you are more than welcome to stay the night, buy provisions for your return to your home, and rest before your long journey, but behave, the sands have eyes and ears of their own, and my brother controls the desert itself."
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Iwao couldn’t help but smirk a little at Kaori’s comment, whispering, “I’m just trying to avoid war right now, Kay-chan” As the Kiri genin placed their weapons on his iron sand platforms, the sand would curl around them and retract back to Iwao, who would take the weapons, slinging the bow and quiver over his shoulder along with the belt from the other genin. He’d then drop back to land on the ground and approach the genin, holding his hands up, where two cups would form out of iron sand. The massive bear behind him, Grym, would then stand on his hind legs for a second, clapping his paws together, causing water to condense into the cups, filling them. Reaching the two girls, Iwao would reach down, offering the cups to them, “Here, you two must be thirsty, if not dehydrated.. we here in Suna know well how harsh the desert can be…” he’d say with a slight smile. “And don’t worry, you’re weapons will be fine with me.”

Maki saw a dilema with the drinks offered to them. On one hand, it would be rude to refuse. On the other hand, the cups were made of iron sand. A few grains would be enough to track her in the future. She took the cup despite this and had to place a little trust in a fellow human. It was hard though as she also knew he was shinobi. She took a sip despite her body screaming at her not to, then smiled up at the towering man. "Thank you. Probably needed that." She said and would hold the cup in her hands. "I dont suppose you could show us to a room we could occupy and get some rest in?" She asked with a tilt of her head, her mind going through methods of expelling the drink from her system that wouldnt be overtly offensive and high profile."

_ Umeko would bow lightly as the Kazekage would state that they would be allowed to stay for night. "Thank you for your generosity, Lady Kazekage." The platforms which held there weapon would enveloping their weapons and returning to large man who stood next Kazekage. He would make his way towards them after whispering the Kazekage, which would make her slightly uneasy, but if they had wanted to harm them or worse, they could have done it already. She would watch as the man and his companion would not only create a cup but also water for them to drink. "Thank you, sir." She would say reaching out and taking a cup. She would hesitate as Maki did before taking a small sip of the water.

Kaori sighed softly and crossed her arms over her chest as Nova flopped onto the warm sand under them, "Why bother with hesitating? If we wanted you dead, we could have killed you before you had the chance to react. We have lived in this desert all of our lives, we know how harsh it is, and can only imagine how badly someone from Kirigakure would take the heat of the arid desert."She rolled her eyes and sighed before she waved her hand in the air in dismissal, "Iwao and I have claws and fangs, built in weapons, if we really wanted to, we could have gutted you, that water is only water, nothing more, nothing less. Relax just a little, actually enjoy being away from Kirigakure. If it makes you this paranoid as genin, clearly, it's not too kind a place." Kaori turned on her heel and motioned for Nova to do as she pleased. Kaori wondered if she could go bother Kaz or someone, she was bored and wanted something to do, and bothering people was always fun.

Iwao looked down at the two genin as they hesitated to drink the water he was offering them, giving them a quick look, then chuckling at what his sister said, which showed his large fangs slightly “My sister is right, if I wanted to harm you in any way, you wouldn’t have had time to react before the desert swallowed you whole.” When Kaori turned and walked off with Nova, Iwao looked back, “What the hell, sis? Why do I always get left watching the cubs?!” Standing back to his full height and letting out a soft sigh, “Now, there are some rooms above the dining room of the Fox’s Den, the restaurant here. It’s in the village center near the fountain, just tell the owner that the Kazekage said you could stay for the night. If you want to buy some supplies for your trip home, the shopping district is just outside the village center. When you're ready to leave the village to return to Kiri, alert the ANBU here at the gate and they'll find me so I can return your weapons.”
(OOC: just quote either me or Nyx when you're ready to leave and one of us will RP the anbu to take the message to Iwao.)

Maki shut her eyes for a moment. They were somewhat right. It however was very hard to get rid of years of training to act at ease. She wanted to seem careful, no move wasted. So when she opened up her eyes again she waited just a moment searching for the proper words. "Thank you for the hospitality. I apologize for my...paranoia. Please dont let it offend you." She said as she made a move to go into the village after the two, heading for the spoken location. .

_ It would seem that Kaori and the large man had read Umeko's mind, that our their nervous body language. In the academy she was always told to never let her guard down in unfamiliar territory. Although they had stated themselves that they had no intention on harming them unless forced she couldn't stop her mind from racing about the multiple possibilities. Bow lightly, "I'm sorry, Lady Kazekage, I will take your advice." She said as she would take another sip of water. She would listen as the large man informed them of a place where the duo would be able to find a warm bed as well as a place to eat. She would bow lightly to the large man as well. "Thank you as well, sir." She would say as she would walk closely behind Maki, walking towards the Den mentioned earlier.
As his shoes sank just a bit into the sand he sighed and continued running. For what seemed like forever the team crossed nothing but trackless desert until they finally reached their destination, Sunagakure. With a smile slowed down a bit before slowing to a walk. He would have to be very careful how he went about doing this. After all the last thing he wanted to do was injure their villages alliance. As he reached the gate he smiled and called out,"Greetings Sunagakure." Granted he did not know who was who other than the Kazekage he still wanted to be polite.

Serah felt sweat dripping down her body, hot from the surrounding desert and sun. “I don’t really like the heat… but I guess it’s good training.” Serah sighed. After finally arriving at the village entrance, Serah smiled and waved to the big man with a pet bear. However, when Nariomi greeted the village, Serah couldn’t help but shrug and point to the bigger man. “Maybe he can help us? He looks like he’s watching over the village right now.” Serah turned her attention back to the man, acknowledging his head band. He was most definitely from this village. Serah bowed in respect, hoping that this process would be quick. Serah and the heat did not mix.
