The Great Tree, the center point of the village and home to many secrets of the Waterfall Village. One of these places is the Shrine of the Summoning Scrolls. Outside of the Great Tree, people are free to roam about the hollow tunnels and caves that lurked within the tree itself.
The Shrine is a hidden location that only an elite few know about. The Summoning Scrolls are kept locked away here, to ensure their safety. Traps are abound in order to keep intruders out. The shrine is hidden within the Great Tree itself, it's secrets are kept to those that defend the village. Within the shrine itself, are hidden chambers, each containing one of the five current summoning scrolls. Otters, Beavers, Grizzly Bears, White Tigers, and Clouded Leopards. The current guardians of Takigakure, and the defending summons of the Waterfall village. To get to the Shrine, one needs to be taken there by someone who already knows the location of the Shrine.

[Entrance from Rikki Amadeus' Office]
A pool of mist seemed to enter from out of nowhere, Nakamura's form seeming to appear from out of nowhere. Her silhoute had her reaching out towards the large gate that she, among few others, could open. She placed her right palm upon the door, her chakra flowing through the palm of her hand. Open... she thought as if speaking to the door.
Seconds later, the door sounded as if it were being unlocked. A cold wind blew past her as the door opened just enough for her to fit inside. As the door slammed behind her, she looked around the room, her night-vision kicking in. The darkness didn't bother her, and it didn't take her long to find what she was looking for. This should stop the bleeding... Nakamura thought to herself as she reached for a small bottled. And this should help to seal the wounds... she added, grasping another bottle nearby. There we go... now to get back. Nakamura thought to herself, her hands moved into the middle of her ponytail where she kept various hidden items and placed them inside a nest of her hair. With the chakra flow consistant in her body, mist began to seep into the room, her body vanishing into mist with the medicine nestled into her hair.

[Entrance from Forest Marsh]
Mist seemed to erupt from out nowhere, the silhoutte of Nakamura appeared within the thickening mist untill the mist departed, leaving her outsideof the shrine to meditate. To think that it would simply take just a tiny push to send me into a rage like that... and who would have thought that I'd repressed so much. she thought to herself as she sat down. Her body dropped down to the ground in a sitting position, allowing her to meditate. Calm yourself... let the chakra flow within you... Nakamura thought to herself as she breathed out calmly. With her right arm, she brushed the tears from her eyes, wiping away any trace of her tears. When she felt that she was done, she began to meditate, allowing the chakra to flow within her body without distractions.

Nakamura kept her mind at ease, keeping the flow of her chakra at a lever and steady pace. Her breathing was slow and relaxed, showing each exhale of breath because of the chakra flow in her body. The temperature around her began to slowly drop as her meditation continued. She manipulated the flow of chakra within her, speeding it up and slowing it down by each passing whim. Her thoughts were becoming clearer with each passing second.
Zenjin's nails clicked along the ground as he walked towards her, the cold didn't bother him at all. Instead of interupting Nakamura during her meditation, he remained by her side. He then sat down to the left of her.

Hikaru ran towards the single tree that was bigger than the rest. Stopping suddenly, he didn't need to go further. It was obvious that it was trapped. But, with what, he wasn't sure. "Hiro-kun, watch yourself." Hikaru had released Hiro's hand by this time and continued on cautiously. He didn't need to have Hiro hurt with his stupidity. "Miss Kage! Are you here!" Hikaru wasn't far from Nakamura, so she could hear his yells, but he wasn't about to get too close that he'd end up getting caught in one of the traps he knew were around. The placement of the traps were what he'd need to watch for. Wires, ropes, buttons. He kept a firm watch everywhere around him so he wouldn't get caught in something as he said to Hiro, "Step where I do alright Hiro-kun? Can't have you getting hurt now can I?" Hikaru nearly felt sorry for what he had done to the boy. It was merely a test, but to do something so forcefull wasn't something he should have done. "Miss Kage?"

"Hikaru,You act as if I am a mere child" Hiro said with a smile.All recent happenings faded away as Hiro dialed in on the situation at hand. He pulled out a scroll and in a flurry of smoke,he was in his armor.He then grabbed his other two scrolls and held them at the ready."If worse comes to worse,I can take refuge inside my puppet." Hiro clicked on his helmet and for a brief moment,went blind.Then the display flickered on and he could see the outside world.He used this to see through his puppet eyes,but it was also good for seeing in the dark and avoiding troublesome genjutsu.He took note though,he needed to add a thermal scope."I am ready when you are." Hiro said quietly.

[Rolling for Tumble to avoid traps,
DC= 58
Tumble = 110 + 12 = 122]
It sounds like I'm needed. Nakamura thought to Zenjin as she heard a voice calling for her. It echoed throughout the hollow tree.
Go on, your responsibilities as Kage of this village are to aid those that need your services. Zenjin told her.
Alright... Alright. Don't forget, it's not like I'm new to this. Nakamura thought to herself as she rolled her eyes, even though they were still shut.
Without another moments' hesitation, Nakamura rose from the ground into a standing position, her eyes opening to an area lightly coated in frost. She smiled lightly as she walked down towards the voices. It wasn't like she didn't know where her own traps were, she was; after all; the person who set them. "I'll be there in just a second! Be carefull of roots on the right wall." Nakamura called as she drew nearer. Her head ducked down, avoiding one of the finer threads that lead to a horrible death for those that were not carefull. Maybe I booby trapped this place a little too well... I don't want any of the shinobi to get hurt.
She turned her back towards the two figures, but she didn't stop moving. Her hands flew back behind her head, her body following along with a set of back-handsprings. She avoided the traps she had set, with the exception of one that she ducked under. "Hello. I guess you already know me, or you wouldn't have been searching for me. I'm Nakamura Michiyo." she said with a smile and a light bow. Her eyes scanned the taller of the two boys before noting that it was Hiro and his *friend* from the Springs. "Hiro, was there something you needed?" she asked, looking to Hiro and then to the taller male.

"Hi there Miss Kage! I wanted to introduce myself as well as my brother...but...he's out searching for you along with another." Hikaru returned her bow with one of his own. He wished his brother was here to meet her instead. He could tell he was really into wanting to see her. Hikaru was pretty sure he had a few things to ask her. "Ah, I almost forgot! Amane, Hikaru! A Jounin of your lovely village. Nice to meet you Lady Nakamura," he mused as he took her hand in his own and kissed it lightly. His warm smile he gave was one of a sign of friendship. Getting on the kage's goodside was something Hikaru would like to do greatly. Though, being rude wasn't part of his plan so he quickly let go of her hand and took a step back. "It's a pleasure to meet you." His eyes crossed over her strange way of dress and that frost hair she had. So far, when she greeted them, it seemed she was a bit more talking to Hiro, so he would keep his silence for now until he was needed.

Her eyes were quickly drawn to her hand upon it's sudden movement. She couldn't help her cheeks from flushing with a slight hint of color after Hikaru had kissed her hand. She wasn't one for formalities, and this was just awkward to her. "It's nice to meet you as well, Hikaru. Although I find it strange that we hadn't really met one another untill now. I noticed you at the Silver Springs earlier, and I apologize if it seemed a bit rude of me to over-look you there." she explained, having not meant any offense if there was any. It wasn't that she had to maintain good relationships with the shinobi in Takigakure, it was that she wanted to. It was always easier to trust someone if you were friends with them. She thought about the scene she came upon at the Silver Springs and the tannish color that was once there faded away.

Kaoru ran towards the tree that he and his brother had found a few days before and stopped dead when he saw the white haired girl with fair skin. His eyes were a bit wider than normal. His revealed muscled chest heaved a bit more than usual. Breathing through his nose his eyes hovered over her body. It was the same girl, that was for sure. He couldn't forget that color of hair. His determination for finding her was so great that he'd found her little after Hikaru had. He walked over to his brother and stood in silence. He'd think of his words and questions for the girl seriously before dumbly blurting things. He'd have liked it if it were just the two of them. At least then he didn't have to seem so strange to the others that were around. Staring at her for a moment more, he bowed deeply and stated his name, "Amane, Kaoru." His voice was polite, due to him speaking to a female.
He wasn't as impulsive as his brother to invade the space of another person so suddenly and kept his distance. For now, that would be more than enough for him. He cleared his throat and looked at his brother who seemed a bit more familiar with the kage than Kaoru would have liked. He was so flirty it was a bit off-setting. Kaoru's dark eyes turned to the kage once more, but quickly were turned downwards. To stare would be impolite...

Kayome arrived at the Shrine, right behind Kayome. His hair was still soaked, but luckily his tunic and breeches were mostly dry. The excitable twin was already here talking to the Takikage. Oh, good. They're already here.
Kayome respectably bowed his head and awaited his turn.

[To be totally honest, I was thinking of this song during Hikaru's kiss on her hand... which allowed her to not blush anymore. *lol*] She was suprised to see that there were quite a number of people searching for her. Either I did something really bad... or really good... her thoughts flooded her mind as she caught their eyes in her's. When one of the newer shinobi came up to her and spoke his name, it immediatly clicked within her that these must have been the other shinobi looking for her. "Nakamura Michyio." she answered back, giving the same curtious bow. She couldn't help but feel a little awkward, for none of these shinobi looked familiar to her. Have I really been that oblivious? she asked Zenjin, but no response came. I'll take that as a yes...
"Ummm... I'm guessing that there must be a reason that you sought me ought... right? Do you need me to take care of something? Has someone come into the village that I should be aware of?" she asked, trying to come up with the answer for herself. She noticed that she was given another respectfull bow, and returned it as well. She didn't care about ranks, she didn't want to be held like some almighty being. She was just like them, a shinobi that fought to protect Takigakure. The main difference was that she was also part of the Fifth Dawn. I wonder how Amadeus is... she asked herself, rising from her bow. She could smell the waters of the Silver Spring on the one that had yet to speak his name. From the look and smell of things... you either fell in, were pushed, or dived in yourself...

Hiro looked at Hikaru as he bowed and kissed her hand.His armor slowly started to glow as chakra fueled his armor.Hiro had to force it to stop from activating.He remembered the old mans words: "All the negative emotions will fuel your Tanku armor.Hate and greed are among the worse,but as soon as envy is involved,your opponent will never forget the Knight clan.".Hiro was envious.Although he had just shared a moment with Hikaru,his kiss to her hand was nothing more than gut-wrenching for Hiro.He slipped his helmet back on to disguise his disgusted look.
((ENVY!Oooooh razz ))

Hikaru took a step back from Kaoru and closer to Hiro. Taking the younger kid's hand in his own in a way his brother was unable to see, he let him take the stand. "You had something you wanted to ask the kage didn't you Kaoru-kun?" Hikaru teased. Looking back at the kage, he answered her question before his brother could get on with whatever it was he was going to do. "No mam. No such thing. My brother and I just wished to introduce ourselves to you. Though, I'm sure he wants more than just that. You should have seen the way he was acting back at the springs when you left!" Kaoru turned around and grabbed Hikaru's collar once again as he had before when he was teased. "You will cease your talking now brother," he threated. His dark eyes glared with the hatred he felt for his brother at the moment. Sometimes it sucked a** to have a twin brother who could easily read you. Hikaru had to talk Kaoru into letting him go again, which he did soon when he realized that he was still in the presence of the woman. Backing away, he bowed in appology to her and stood to the side, away from the group. If things were to continue this way and people stayed then he'd never get a chance to speak to the kage about her stange colorings. Kaoru hated to talk in front of a lot of people and he wouldn't give in to that just to get the answers he dreadfully wanted. Hikaru found his hand placed back in Hiro's soon enough after his little....incounter...with Kaoru's small anger spurt. His hand held Hiro's tightly, still a bit scared from Kaoru's threat. A new, nervous, smile was on Hikaru's face now, as he attempted to keep himself looking happy.
