Hack was being crowded. First his new friend had left him to talk with someone else...abandoned again for no good reason. Combat or family emergency would have been perfectly understandable to Hack, even in his distressed state but to just be left...Hack tightened his eyes shut and shivered harder. He was alone again....alone, cold, wet, muddy and now some voice was speaking to him.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw the woman...a female before him. For a milisecond, he remembered that the Takikage was a woman then he remembered the Knight boy's words of how she could be mean and angered easily or something to that respect. His eyes lit up with fear when she drew closer. A scramble, a dash to his feet was his best corse. Even with water weighing him down and his body tired and feeling like lead, adrinalline was more than enough to get him moving again. He was up once more and to his feet.
Backing away, he bore witness to all that was going on. People were still having arguments, anger and hatred was still thick within the air. His mind lay tired with frustration, fear, and dread. And now to be faced with his greatest fear realized in a powerhouse form, he had been pushed to the edge. Reaching into his side pouchs, he drew his cards, the cards of his clan and held them at the ready. his hands trembling like leaves facing a hurricane. His eyes were closed tightly and tears ran rampent down his face. His lips parted and screams left them,
"LEAVE ME ALONE! DON"T HURT ME! I didn't do anything mommy! Please don't let them hurt me!" he had snapped. The cute clumsy ones always do. And he was no exception.

Reaching the borders of the great tree area Kodora searches for her target. She looks around for the kage and finds her leader around some other people talking.
Walking towards the Kage she noticed she was talking to a boy, apparently a screaming and scared boy, so she stood nearby waiting for a cue to approach the Kage. She didn't wanted to budge into matters that didn't concerned her.
Sitting on one of the tree's large roots Kodora waited and looked around recognizing the situation and people there.
She saw a man near the Kage, twins not so far and another man near all the others on top of what it seemed to be a puppet. The feel in the air were heavy and Kodora felt uneasy with it, but it seemed that whatever happened was now over.

Kusari knew that smell by heart....fear.
Kusari had battled enough enemies to know that look. The shake, the delusional screaming... He had even been that way once before tho9ugh if you asked him he would never admit it. By the way he was holding them Kusari knew that those cards must be some form of weapon. Kusari looked about quickly and decided he would rather his body be on the line than anyone elses here. He had a feeling he might be able to reason with this boy having experienced the same kind of fear before in his life... Also it was something about Nakamura that seemed to be setting this boy off. He knew he had a more intimidating figure than she but perhaps he would be able to help this boy just the same.
Kusari moved in the way between teh boy and the others trying niot to make any sudden movements.
"Boy, no one is going to hurt you... you are safe here... just calm down and don't let your fear control you like an animal... if you do you'll end up hurting someone. I don't think you really want that, do you..." Kusari's tone was level and very calm but revealed enough strength in his voice that he hoped it would be more of a comforting protective tone of voice to teh frightened child. Kusari had a plan, if the boy would not back down... Kusari's current statements were sincere and his body language was as non threatening as he could make it.
He knew this might not be his call to make but he didn't want other people hurt when there was something he could do to prevent it. "Everyone else, step back... we don't want to crowd him...give him room..." Kusari continued in the same level calm tone of voice and not once did he take his eyes off the boy. He was in between the boy and everyone esle so if he did try to attack Kusari would be the one to take the hit. He lowered himself slightly to seem less intimidating. Although right now his body language and words and tome were as harmless as he could make them, he was ready in case the boy would not calm down, to charge forwards and grab the boy and carry him away from other people. but before he would do that Kusari was hoping he could reason with him this way.

[[Overlord, Roll for Diplomacy. Diplomacy helps calm people with truth.]]
She wasn't even able to speak by the time his reactions sunk into her. This entire situation was growing old to her. She could only watch in calm silence as the boy began to freak out. It must not have helped to have Kusari insult him. She knew he was trying to help, but those were the wrong words to use. It could only have been a guess, but it seemed that it was she who was giving him the biggest fear. Fear of women... but that wasn't what was perterbing her the most. She was the Takikage, and to be undermined like that was insulting. She didn't let her face show it, but Kusari should have known by now that it was not his place to try and over-step his boundaries in her village.
"As you wish." Nakamura said softly, Amadeus' image in her mind as she quickly went through her hand seals. Transporting Mist Jutsu!
Within seconds, Nakamura was gone within the mist. She needed to report on the events that had transpired. Seeing as how nothing was going right, she felt that everyone could handle things as they were.

Hiro walked back into the village.He was not gone very long...He had planned to be gone for quite some time but he knew he could not just leave poor Hack all alone.He saw Kusari trying to help the frightened and battle-ready Hack.Bad idea..Kusari is intimidating....He walked slowly to Hack then stopped.He did not want to overwhelm him with people,so he just stood back and watched.Hopefully it would be comforting to Hack to have someone he knew close by."Hack,I had to leave real quick,but I am back now.If you want to go somewhere a little less populated then just say so and we can go together." Hiro smiled and held out his hand.

The twins watched in silence as the Hack kid started to freak out even more. And Kusari didn't seem to be helping any. Kaoru turned to see a girl standing a ways away. His eyes stayed on her before hearing Nakamura's words. He began to move forward when she began her jutsu but stopped and stood straight. He shouldn't follow her. She'd had enough of him for one day it seems. The village was nothing but men...A woman should have her privacy. Sighing he looked at his brother, who returned his look with a smile.
Hikaru had been watching as silently as Kaoru. He laced his hand with his brother's as he watched Nakamura dissapear in the mist, and Hiro return to the scene. A warm smile came when he saw Hiro treat the kid so nicely. The heat returning inside him accompanied the smile. What was it he was feeling? Jealousy? No...it couldn't be. He had never felt jealousy before so what would make him feel like that now? Hiro? But...why...A small whine came from him as he heard Hiro's words. He wanted to be with him...not that kid...And of all things he said 'less populated'...they'd be alone somewhere...The feeling began to get stronger when he thought about it. Shaking his head, he tried to get himself off the thought. He couldn't feel that way right now. He had to keep his mind clear...jealousy couldn't be part of that...

(i don't have diplomacy, if i did i would have rolled for it)
Kusari heard Nakamura's words and knew that he had yet again screwed up...after this he had a feeling it would be best if he just left the village limits for a time... Every time he tried to mend things with her things only got worse. He was not going to give up but he knew that space would probably be the best thing for them for a little bit.
he heard her words and had a feeling she did not mean them the way he did when he spoke them to her... Kusari simply continued to wait for hacks response.

[[you can roll a skill check even if you don't have points in the skill. you just use the stat mod associated with it. Its just like real life. Even if you arent' trained in a skill, you can still bumble your way through it if you have certain other skills(in this case stats) associated or similiar to it. But don't worry about it for now. With the girl gone, Hack'll calm down a bit]]
His eyes began to glaze over. The words of everyone near him started to fade out...he was just drained now. He was so tired and so...so...there wasn't really a word for it really. He jsut was what he was. He dropped his cards and anyone that was looking on would notice that the cards didn't drop like normal playing cards. They fell and hit the groudn with a thud. All of them stabbing into the ground and staying face up.
His body slumped down...he meant to go to his knees but...once a clutz always a clutz. As he kneeled lower, a rock fell out from under his feet and he began to roll back into the water behind him. "ACK!!!" He hit the water with a hard splash and just kind floated face up in it...ahhh what a day. Thi would make for a great entry into his journal....yea right...
"I hate my life..." he mumbled to himself...

"Kid, give me your hand." Kusari said looming over the pathetic child, holding his hand out. Kusari pittied the boy a little. He clearly lacked mental strength of any kind and cordination. "Take my hand. You need to get yourself cleaned up, and get some rest. I'll help you out. SItck with me and you'll be safe." Kusari waited for teh boy to take his hand ignoreing the others.
THis boy needed someone strong to help him out. Kusari had a feeling he was one who could do that. Not only that but he felt a soft spot for the boy...He had acessed the boy, and he looked to be about the age his sister Kaida would be had she not died in his mothers arms at the hand of the Kirigakure hunter nins when she was but an infant.

Hack simply drifted there...he didn't really listen to anything one way or the other. he was simply there...simply floating. he did extend his hand up but it was more out of reflex than actually trying to get help. He was use to these sorts of things happening ot him. He sighed a bit and just looked up to the sky. However, what he didn't notice was that he had gotten hooked onto one of the roots taht were under the water. No one would notice it either since his body covered the entire root. When he is pulled from the water, most likly his clothes will rip.
[[I like torturing hack in case you hadn't noticed]]

Kusari hoisted teh boy from the water and heard the tearing sound. the boys clothes had been torn; but that would not matter too much to him. It was an Honest mistake after all. Kusari removed his long jacket, it was like a gigantic blanket to the boy. Kusari wrapped him in it and tossed the boy up onto his shoulder lkike a sack of potaotes. "Come on Kid, lets get you taken care of." h turned and picked up the boys cards stufing them in his own pocket. "I'll help him, the rest of you go about your business I think it would be best for him if he got some space from people." Kusari had taken charge of this situation and this boy for the time being. it was clear he wasn't going to be too much of a chalange right now...the child seemed to have gone into the lethargic cool down stage that follows an overwhelming emotion. Kusari knew that state well, he had been cared for through it several times. THought in his case it was usually following tremendous anger, not fear. Kusari knew that this stage had to be relatively the same. Kusari carried the boy on his shoulder and headed down towards the cillage...he had seen a bathhouse on one of his trips through it. That would be warm and ther this boy could clean up.

He was carried off? he didn't even really notice it at the moment. He was in a off minded state. Carried upon the wims of the tide.

Hikaru and Kaoru watched a bit more before seeing Kusari take off with the kid over his shoulder. Kaoru blew it off; at least he didn't have to see him anymore. Hikaru took it as an opportunity to steal his man away. "Hiro-kun~" he mused as he walked over to the boy. "What do you say you and I go somewhere and have some fun? We could start that training you were talking about earlier if you'd like?" Hikaru smiled down at Hiro before looking and waving for his brother's attention. "Hey! I'm going to go off with little Hiro-kun for a bit alright? I'll meet you later!" Kaoru barely heard his brother before starting his way out of the place. He had been crowded enough that day. He'd go back to that place Hikaru had taken him earlier. That silver colored water...

Hiro beamed and walked with Hikaru,nudging his hand with his own.Not only would he be with Hikaru,but he was going to finally train.He followed next to Hikaru and said "What taijutsu do you know?" Hiro hoped he would say he knew the Goken style,he needed to learn it.He smiled as he walked with Hikaru.He would catch up with Hack later.

Hikaru gently took Hiro's hand into his own when he felt him nudge his hand. A smile rained down upon Hiro as he started to walk towards the marsh. It would be a place the two could train without any interference. "Well...I know...hm...Gouken...and Painful sky leg. I'm not much of a Taijutsu user so that's all..." A nervous look entered his face as he stopped and pulled Hiro's hand a bit to get him closer before giving a small kiss to his forehead. "Come on now. I'll teach you both if you like?" Hikaru smiled once more and began walking again. Having Hiro with him was fun. He didn't know why or how but it was.
(i forgotted if he had his armor on or off or anything about his helmet so meh XD)
