 Shuniji was brought out of his trance-like reminiscence by the "whapf" of Seika's sleeve on the back of his head. It was probably meant to sting, but the fabric was too fuzzy.
He glared down at Seika. The burn of his gaze could melt through steel and bring summer to the Land of Snow as he peered into Seika's eyes. And then...
"Damn, that's soft. I ROCK at picking out clothes~!"
Shuniji laughed at Seika's face and kept walking, hands behind his head. They had reached the top of a hill and from its peak, it was a lazy descent into a harbor village. Several buildings on the outskirts of town were looking worse for wear, but the boats seemed pretty much unharmed.
...If anything, Shuniji was confident he could swim home, had they no other options. Seika was on her own, though.

Seika motioned to retaliate with her hand raised, but sighed heavily and let it go instead. She was cranky, and just wanted to go home now. At the moment...Shun just wasn't worth the effort.
Looking at the devastation the Tailed beast had caused, Seika let out a small whistle and smiled at the site. She didn't much care for this town in the first place, so it didn't bother her one bit. It's not like she had family here, or knew anybody in the area. Why should she care?
Seika scanned over boats around the docking area and pressed a finger worriedly against her lips. There...wasn't anybody to work the boats, was there? Great.

Though the progress was slow Tatsuya managed to fight the uphill battle that was the peak of this hill that overlooked another harbor town, this would have been the one they would have sailed to had Tatsuya struck a deal with the captain of that boat. Now, he was kind of glad they had come from the south. This place was devastated, buildings were missing chunks, people were still panicking from the sudden attack, the only thing that seemed to be unharmed were the boats that lined the coast. "Well, if need be we can always try to get back home through this place..." The boy attempted to look for the brighter part of the whole situation, but was definitely having a good deal of trouble seeing it. Maybe his luck would turn up soon, and he would find whoever was making these tracks... For a moment he could have sworn he heard small echoes in the distance about something soft, he was closer now at least...

Shuniji slid down the muddy hill into town. It had been difficult to tell from up on the ridge, but it was chaotic down in the village square. Even Shuniji in all his... er... glory, received hardly a passing glance. Normally he would have gotten fussy because of this, but he was still feeling self-conscious under his transformation jutsu, so he let it slide.
On the other hand, he wasn't fond of being knocked about in the crush of panicked villagers either. He snarled in annoyance and shoved his way through the crowd, trying to get to the harbor as fast as possible. It took a great deal of self-control to not sic his Dokumushi on anyone to get his point across, but settled for shoving a few particularly frantic people into the mud.
Minus the time it took to pass through the crowds, it wasn't long of a walk at all to reach the modest dock where the boats were moored. While this town was technically the closest they could get to the Land of Rice Fields before leaving the country, none of the boats docked there were near the size of the ferry the duo had arrived on.
Shuniji took a moment to survey their options. There was one way to get both himself and Seika back to the mainland... but it wasn't exactly his first choice.
He started untying a small, but sturdy boat from the dock, not really caring to whom it belonged. All the while, he was muttering something angry-sounding that no one could make out.

Seika literally stuck behind Shuniji to avoid the frantic civilians, but that didn't save her dress from getting mud on it. Too many people were tromping around, thus splashing mud on her. Her face was sour looking as she inspected her dress with a quick glance. Eh...it could be replaced.
After following Shuniji to the docks. She paused and gave her partner a questionable glance as he untied the boat, it didn't take her long to catch a hint. Seika quickly hopped on the boat without saying a word. Shuniji looked pissed off, it would be wise to keep the jokes to herself.

Tatsuya finally made his way into the settlement, taking a much easier route that did not include near as many people, however the route the pair had taken helped him. He looked at the man that was pushing the people and determined that he indeed looked out of place, however he could have frozen when he saw the girl accompanying him... It was Seika... As he noticed that Shuniji was untying a small boat from the dock the young Udai member swan dived from his position on top of a single story home and onto the small row boat; making sure he landed on his feet and face to face with the blonde boy, his hood still firmly on his head, hiding bits of his face and his companion fully. "I-I cannot let y-you leave yet... I need to ask you two something.... Seika..." He was shocked that his friend was here, and she had fled from what appeared to be a huge fight, what kind of trouble did she get herself into? The girl would be able to quickly recognize the boy from his voice seeing how it did very little changing in the year they had not seen each other...

もし何も私がそれを止めるためにすることができること...
If there's nothing I can do to stop it...  ╔═蓮 新潟════════════════════════╗ Mood: Can't... feel... fingers! Doing: Hugging this damn cat for dear life Status: Being a "diplomat" Location: Yup, this is definitely hell frozen over╚════════════════════════蓮 新潟═╝Ɍemember that thing about him freezing his a** of earlier? Well now he couldn't even feel his a**! Or almost any other part of his body for that matter. An' 'is is why we don' play hero! he growled in his head. At this point, just about the only heat he was getting was from Neko-chan. His arms were crossed over his chest and the cat source of warmth. It was almost too much effort to keep his arms up. He wasn't even sure if it was really the cold that was getting to him or the fact that he'd just used earth wall to the point where he was sure he'd drained every drop of chakra out of his body. What did it matter? He was exhausted and cold- no matter which was worse, this still sucked. But he kept moving, pushed on by.... well, he wasn't sure why he kept going. Because he wanted to live? Hah. His life didn't mean that much to him.
Maybe it was just the cat, who had somehow convinced his legs to move faster. Kind of at a half-assed jog. There were a couple sets of foot prints, one set looking fresher than the other two. The one was probably Tatsuya following someone or other. God dammit all. Ren groaned in his mind. He groaned out loud when he saw he had to trek uphill. "Jus'... funkin'.... great..." he panted. But Neko-chan started meowing furiously. "A'RIGHT! FINE!" he barked at the cat with all the force he could muster, then started walking again. Air did not come easily, and what he could get into his lungs was so icy cold that it burned his throat. Eventually, he got to the top, still panting and looking like hell. "Nevah.... playin' hero.... again." he muttered under his breath. Apparently, Neko-chan wanted him to die of exhaustion because as soon as he stopped, she clawed his chest. That being the one place on his body that still had feeling- it hurt like hell! "THA ******** D'YA EVEN WANT??" Ren snapped at her. She just wiggled about in a specific direction so that he'd know where to go. Still following the foot prints apparently, but this was driving him nuts. He still didn't know why he was going this way, or even standing, or even listening to a cat! He just was.
He was hardly aware of anything else. The cold could go ******** itself. Exhaustion- screw it. If he died out here, it'd be no loss to anyone. Tatsuya- where was he anyway? Was he still way ahead of Ren or had he passed him? The latter seemed highly unlikely. He just kept following Neko-chan's tuggs.
Somehow, he was so tired.... he didn't even feel tired anymore. Did that make sense?
It probably wasn't a good thing he felt utterly numb. Oh well. The walk through what he eventually registered was a town in panic hardly fazed him. He was sure he'd been knocked over at least four times, but he couldn't really remember. From the top of the hill, to the boat where he found Tatsuya, Shun and Seika- he didn't recall much. Neko-chan started meowing like crazy when she saw Seika, but it was too warm in Ren's jacket and too cold outside for her to want to move. Damn, bratty cat. Ren probably looked like crap, but hell he always did! Though, he was trying to make it not look like he wanted nothing more than to collapse on the ground. He'd come in after Tatsuya had spoken so he didn't hear him and Seika looked different than when they'd last seen each other, but he recognized what was the same about her. Gathering what strength he had, he pulled Neko-chan out of his coat and moved towards his friend. "'Ere, I think she misses ya." he said with a smile. Yeah, yeah, getting information from them- it could wait till he returned Seika's cat.
why should I care?

Through the unforetold commotion with the tailed beast and the mysterious shuniji and seika the ex mist genin had disappeared amongst the situation and reappeared only to have trailed the two of them from the side lines using distance as a means of stealth. While he made it a priority to keep an eye on them,something was definitely up and it made riku sick to the stomach just thinking about it as he questioned if the crimson light that had happened had actually indeed happened.
Slowly bits and pieces had been put together from the conversation the two had under gone on their way to the villages docks as riku from a safe distance thought very deeply -{{there's that name again....otokage...and that creature.. where have i seen that power before!?!?...errrr it would appear i still don't fully have my memory back}}- when it had struck riku in the head like a needle piercing his thoughts instantaneously and a perfect detailed image of the sand genin who happened to be the one tailed host popped into his head haunted him and disappeared as soon as it had been thought of leaving riku with a look of discomfort on his face.
As he slowly trailed the two for quite sometime he had arrived at the town the wave had desecrated earlier and mixed among the clearly confused and frantic crowd.when he had left the sound ninja for only a second to grab a black tattered curtain from a random damaged shop and used it as a cloak wrapping it around him for warmth when he then re-spotted the two again taking in a deep breath the puppeteer slipped into the water silently amongst the crowd weaving hand seals in a flurry he slowly descended in the icy cold water sinking extended his arms outward as they moved threads of chakra clung to the boat silently and he reeled himself to the underside making sure not to make any noise for now he was silently trailing them for as long as he could.If he were a ninja.this would prove it all riku had wanted was to go home.maybe it was with the sound nin and the mysterious otokage?

Shuniji looked up from his work of untying the rope and looked around.
A strangely familiar kid was standing in the boat with Seika, Ren, of all people was presenting her with a cat and he was pretty sure his Kakoai just picked up somebody getting into the water and swimming under their boat.
What.
Shuniji stood up and straightened his spine. He first nodded in greeting towards Ren and gave a hesitant glare towards the cat as he suddenly recognized it as Seika's.
Then he turned toward the boat and gave it a kick which caused it to rock violently.
"You," Shuniji stated bluntly, "BOTH of you," he not-quite-shouted at the water, "What the hell are you doing?"
He took a moment to stare hard at what he could see of Tatsuya's face. Something was really familiar and yet totally not about this kid. Lavender wasn't a normal hair color. Shuniji would know.
"You're not that Hiyo kid from Cloud, are you? 'Cos if so, I think you kind of shrank," he regarded the large lump under the boy's coat which appeared to be moving, "...Or something..."

"Tatsuya Miyaki." Seika corrected Shun as she stared up at the kid from her crouched position. The way she looked at Tatsuya was...odd. It was fairly obvious she was suppressing herself from any sort of feelings. She looked at him as if he were just a painful memory.
The sound of Ren's voice caught her attention, then she laid her eyes on..."FFFF- KITTY~~!" Seika chimed and made grabbing gestures towards her old friend. Now it was hard to tell if she was intentionally ignoring Tatsuya, or just easily distracted. It was probably the latter.
Neko-chan immediately stiffened up when Seika got a hold of her scruff, the Cat's tail curled between her legs in submission. She knew who it's "mother" was, but the cat still swat at Seika for abandoning her. Though that was when she was a child of nothing but good intention.
"Thank you...Ren." She said, looking up at him with a genuine smile. He didn't have to take care of it, he could have let the Cat die...but he didn't. He returned it, even after all this time. For that, she was truly thankful.

Tatsuya slowly reached his right hand up and placed it on the dagger tied around his waist, though he paused for a moment while watching Seika receive her cat. So Aoiro was right is saying it smelled faintly like Seika, it was her cat after all... However, the boy brought himself back to the situation and scanned the man that was in front of him. "A-are you Shuniji Fuku of the Sound Village?" Simple question, if he could confirm anything he would like to confirm the most basic piece of Ichite-ru's testimony, which was that Seika Cheshiru and Shuniji Fuku were travelling together.
He waited for the Sound Ninja to reply, and as he done so he pulled the dagger from it's holder and pointed the blade firmly at the boat. They were in no position to start a massive fight here, Tatsuya had no idea what this man could do, nor did Ren look like he was able to take another step let alone fight someone whom Tatsuya suspected took down two tailed beasts and the Immortals that were in charge of them. Worst part yet, he knew Brother, he only hoped that it wouldn't get personal. It wouldn't if they would answer the questions truthfully or lie through their teeth well enough to make the boy believe it.

Shuniji repressed a groan as the cat transferred parties. He really hated that thing...
His attention was quickly absorbed by Tatsuya drawing a weapon. He instinctively tensed and eyed the boy carefully. At the same time, he was being sure to not make sudden movements that would set the kid off. He didn't know anything about this person, but he did look an awful lot like the guy who spontaneously tried to shout his head off in the Chunin Exam...
Of course, upon hearing his name, Shuniji resorted back to his sparkling self in record time.
"Oh, so you've heard of me~?" He flipped his hair over his shoulder, but the drama was lost as it was still wet and matted and even a little frozen in some places from the earlier fight. It made a gross slapping sound as it hit his back, which Shuniji faltered at.
"So who's asking?" he continued with less enthusiasm.

tha hell would I pray to? Status: Being a "diplomat" Location: ...Maybe hell's not so bad.╚════════════════════════蓮 新潟═╝Ɇven though he was still wet, cold and dancing around the brink of passing out, a smile- a genuine smile grew on his lips. "Ah, it was nu'in." he straight out lied said, in a much friendlier tone than Tatsuya had probably ever heard from him. (It had been no picnic taking care of that cat for the better part of two years!) After returning Shun's nod of greeting, Ren reached into his bag- being so thankful his bag was waterproof. Having bought it in Mist, in the Land of Water, a lot of the gear sold was waterproofed. Though, some water had slipped in and gotten his old pants damp... though that dampness had turned to ice. He knew he should have zipped it tighter. He pulled out a partially-ful bag of cat food and handed it to Seika. "'Ere, don' got much need fer 'is anymore." he half-assedly laughed. After a moment he added, "...'S good ta see ya again."
Smiles didn't seem quite as nice when the tension sunk into the air. In the back of his mind he was grumbling, Tatsuya- you sta't a fight an' I'll leave ya ta die! In no way was he at all able to fight. He still wasn't sure what was even keeping him standing now that Neko-chan had found Seika. Neither party seemed too keen on starting anything, but the tension would hang around as long as someone had a weapon out. Yeah, ninja carried weapons around all the time. Not many people were made uncofortable being around people you just knew had a dozen or so concealed weapons on them, but once one was drawn- that body language usually translated to somone expecting a fight to start. That was where the tension settled in. Hopefully things wouldn't go too far, but if they did- he'd have to step in and try his hand at being 'diplomatic' and shiz.
Oh yeah. What could possibly go wrong with that plan?
why should I care?

Seika blinked with a baffled expression when she was presented with the bag of cat food. 'He really did take care of Neko-chan..' She thought as she took the bag from his hand.
Neko-chan had suddenly got excited upon seeing the bag and initially started pawing at it. Though Seika was much too distracted with both Ren and Tatsuya to bother feeding her at the moment.
The sudden flash of a dagger struck a nerve and made her slowly stand up, however she made no gestures towards grabbing her Scythe. Seika just stood there quietly with a blank expression. Right now she was only being alert.

The air was certainly tense with Tatsuya drawing his dagger from it's place, however, he showed absolutely no intentions of using it on either of the sound ninja, however, he did squat down slightly and placed the tip of the blade on the bottom of the boat. "Shuniji Fuku, Seika Cheshiru, did you kill the Immortal known as Lu? As well as the Immortal known as Cao?" He was told of the old man that lived so far away from the harbor and port towns, and the massive battleground all but confirmed that something insane had happened there. Again, if the two did not express information that reflected his report he wouldn't harm them, but he would make their boat less than stable and unable to float, that was right, he was holding a piece of wood hostage, and if that didn't work he could easily make the rest of the ships unable to float, trapping both of them here; buying them a little time..
