Welcome to Gaia! ::

Looking to Iri, he shakes his head and smiles.

"I was just doing it to test his nerve. I have no problems with my brother, unless he's done something I should know about?"

It was then that Jin came and landed in front of him, offering the scroll to him. He nodded and took in a deep sigh before placing his hand over it. Energy started to permeate through the air around him, creating an 'icky' type of sensation as slight purple waves started rippling through the air around him. As he took the scroll, he held it firmly in his hand and then looked around slowly, as if waiting for something.

Reeve watches impassively, sheathing his knife. Not fully understanding the whole of what was going in, he merely crosses his arms and stands, shifting his weight slightly so that he leaned more toward Iri. His skin prickles as Tut takes the scroll, and he shivers lightly at the vibe it gives off, fighting the urge to pop into foxfire.
"Now this is pleasant..."

Looking back towards the two of them, he smiled an almost dead smile at them. It seemed as if this technique was almost eating away his emotions the longer he used it.

"I'm hoping the energy I surround this with, will trigger some attention from a dear old friend of mine...who will send something this way to find out what's causing it."

Of course he meant Neko, his goal was to find a way to track the beast down and trap him...or worse.

Leaving a trail of dust behind him, Ookamimaru stopped abruptly by clasping onto the ground with his claws.
He had seen Iri, Reeve and someone he hadn't seen before standing there already and was going towards them but he stopped when he got an akward feeling.
Strange energy came from that man.

With caution, he stayed on a distance in a half crouched position, not knowing what to do.
He hoped Iri would see him so that she could let him know what was going on.

Iri looks toward Ookamimaru and Ren. Those two are a pressing matter. She nudges Reeve's arm with her elbow to get his attention. Then she points first to herself and then the two boys. Not saying anything to Tutsumi, partly because she's afraid of breaking his concentration on whatever freaky technique he's using, she takes off at a steady jog. If something happens, she'll be close enough to react.

The Fury stops in front of the two boys and gives them a quick look over. She gives Ookamimaru a nod and a friendly half smile. Then she looks to Ren. She recognizes him from her air spies, though she's never seen the boy in person.

"First of all, I feel like a serious b***h. Tried to keep those assholes from taking you. Really, I did. But there's only so much I can do with my clones. And I never expected they could take on Tier. I really am sorry, Ren." Iri's lips form another half smile, though this one lacks the charm of the last. It's more wry than friendly. "So, are you okay? Did Steel use any spells on you? Injure you? And do you have anything you feel you need to report?" Iri's asking a lot of questions, but she isn't pressuring Ren. Her voice stays calm, patient, and almost quiet. The Kaze nin wants to make sure Ren's comfortable, especially considering he doesn't know her.

"Musou, activate."

At those words, that sickening sensation evaporated, leaving his eyes almost dead-like. The flame on his forehead burned vigorously as he looked towards the two new comers. The flame started to squirm and then pushed itself out of his forehead, starting to circle him slowly as a faint noise came from it.

"Mm...I see. Thank you, Juro."

He tossed the scroll into the air, opened his palm up toward it and whispered lightly as a teal-aqua sphere surrounded it, suspending it in the air.

He then slowly walked towards the four that had gathered together.

"Who was the boy that had the scroll?"
