 After regaining his chakra, Sano sat there waiting for the others word to move out. Everything had been set. Now all there was left to do is go over the devised plan. He sat there outside one of the small huts and waited. His legs crossed and his katana placed in front of him. Polishing it so that the gleam of the morning sun shown at it's base. He sat there meditating for a while, the electrical auras now letting off from his body in forms of blue little orbs. He sat their for about an hour constantly training his mind and focusing his body with it as one. It was his own little way of preparing himself from the unexpected.

Kaguya, Elani
Her rage had fueled her to move from the land of waves to stone in a rather short time, she had lost very little energy and for once was equipped with a weapon of sorts. In her mind she could see herself on the steel table like Soma was, an experiment and a failure, the thoughts frightened her. Her long hair whipped around her back and arms as she moved fluidly through the boulders and cliffs. While she was running on a rumor she soon began to pick up on the electric Chakra that she'd felt in her battle with Sano. She hoped that he would be alone as she would certainly lose a battle against two.
When she found him she stopped and hung back watching the young man with a dark expression, it seemed even out of battle he still wore his mask, she wanted to see his face. While her usual style was a sneak attack she felt enough respect for the man to address herself. Landing on the ground in clear sight of him she did not use a clone nor an illusion, she wanted him to see she was not afraid to face him herself. The weapon she now carried was clearly made of bone however it was over-sized for the slender woman, a large halberd, the ends sharp and jagged like teeth.
"Sanosuke." El's voice was steady but her body was practically trembling with energy and she was locked to spring into an attack. "We're not finished." Being that she was alone she knew he would soon figure out she'd come most likely against orders, probably without letting another know, if she was to die she didn't want the others to be a part of it.

"Your presence is soothing."
He let out a whisper without turning around as she walked behind him. He only sat there for a couple of minutes before rising up from the ground, placing the blade's sheath behind his waist where it belong while the blade itself still sat peacefully in his right hand. From the minute she she spoke he knew it was no other than the Kaguya girl from Kyuushin. Unlike his friends and the other members of Blood Trail, she referred to him by his full name rather than the short 'Sano' version.
"How cute.....So Kaguya woman, you're back in the flesh I see."
He turned around and walked to the girl noticing the humongous weapon she wielded for such a petite woman. The halberg itself was probably twice the size of the girl's body and despite that she held her own. Walking up to her face to face he looked down at her.
"Well we can't finish where we haven't got on now can we sweetheart. Then again......" He lowered his head whispering quietly into her ear.

Kaguya, Elani
"Thats odd, most find my presence disturbing." Her voice had become gentle as she'd moved behind him, however making no motions to attack yet. When he rose she stopped and watched him, her bangs blowing infront of her eyes for a moment before she effortlessly brushed them away, her right hand holding the halberd perched on her shoulder.
"My name is Elani." SHe'd heard the term "kaguya woman" enough times that it annoyed her, however she knew she had no told him her name so she couldn't be angry with him. "I cannot rest knowing I lost, especially in the eyes of my master." She seemed to be reffering to the snake-like boy that had appeared and ordered her to leave, it seemed strange for a woman her age ot be afraid of a child, however Shishi had made it clear why after she'd left.
He seemed to have noticed the weapon so she gently shifted it off her shoulder and stabbed the tip into the ground causing the rock to crack around it a little. She didn't flinch or seem concerned when he approached. "I don't understand, why not? Your honor is at stake aswell as mine." When he whispered a chill ran down her spine. "What would you suggest otherwise?" She glanced at him for a moment and frowned. Up close she was actually quite pretty, with a very feminin face and delicate features, and with her headband pulled down the scar over her eye was not visible.

He walked closer to her this time. The only thing in between them was the enormous halberg this time. He glazed at her from the slits on the mask and smiled. He appreciated the beauty of the blade. Passing his hand across it's edge onto the the hilt before lifting it up himself with one hand.
"Honor? There's no honor in taking a life without purpose. Nor is there any honor in fighting without purpose. That's the kind of man your Shishi is. He fights for his own selfish ideas and research. His judgment isn't important. Besides he'd kill you without hesitation if he found out you were here. No different than if Blood Trail spotted you and me at this moment."
He cast the blade aside and thrusted into the ground on the right of them. With that obstacle removed from between the two he could smell the sweet scent of her perfume and elegance enveloping his being. Placing a hand onto the middle of his chest and pointing towards hers, he left her with one small thing.
"Kyuushin port was back then. I don't know what lies ahead, but I know one thing I do suggest. What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us Elani."
He said placing a hand gently on her shoulder before passing her up and going back to sitting down with his legs crossed. He left the emotional confused woman with these last words in particular to think about.

Kaguya, Elani
She was tense but not in the way a fighter would be more as herself as a woman around a stranger who was getting to close. He seemed to notice the work she had put into the halberd, it's handel carmed exactly to fit her hands, which werr actually quite small. When he lifted it she didn't pull away or make an attempt to stop him, she couldn't, her mind was in a state of momentary laps.
"Reviving my honor is my purpose. Please do not speak ill of Shishi-tama, he has given me the life I have now, he has allowed me freedom that most Oto-shinobi never get." When he mentioned the fact Shishi would kill her without hesitation she cringed, answering his assumption, he was right and she knew it and now it was showing in her face.
She was to deep in thought ot notice as he disarmed her, it wouldn't matter really she could get it back easily it wasnt far away but her feet would not move with the orders her mind gave. He was getting close and she was at the point where she could not make eye contact anymore.
"If I continue to fail he'll kill me, so I have nothing to lose. All that lies within me is flesh bone and blood, eventually all of that will turn to earth, ash and dust." She had been taught that failure was a death sentence, that had forced her into this silly chase and she was starting to realize that. Finally she had a truthful answer to his small speech. "What lies inside me... Is confusion and..." She didn't have to say the word. 'Loneliness...'
He had left her with more to think about than ever and for a short time she simply stood there her head lowered slightly as the wind played with her long hair. "What now?" She muttered in a weaker tone.

After hearing her out, he could indeed sense her loneliness that dwell within her. He didn't have to ask her. It could be heard in her tone. She was truly dedicated to this man known as Shishi. Yet she was nothing more than a broken tool to him. A failure. A failure trying to fix itself. He'd have to make her see that in order for her to see the truth. Though it was as true as she had said. In Shishi's eyes she's nothing but bone and flesh. But Sano valued munch more in this woman. But the true answer to all of this was that Shishi was the one that was truly lonely....
"There is none more lonely than the man who loves only himself. What loneliness is more lonely than distrust of a person you've you can say that you're comfortable with. I was never less alone than when by myself. Even when I'm with Blood Trail. But that's the result of a path that I took a long time ago. What makes loneliness an anguish is
not that I have no one to share my burden, but this.... I have only my own burden to bear."
He rose up and met her half way. He stretched out a hand and gently grabbed her soft hands. It was a shame that the Snake Specialist own revered this girl to the low form of a tool. A weapon to fulfill his own desires. Little had she know that trash in one man's eyes was treasure in another. His thumb began gently messaging across her own hand before he finally spoke. It was her second time asking her what should they do and for the first time he had an answer for her.
"People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges. Let's make a new bridge." He whispered in a low and quiet smooth tone while placing her second hand on top of her first and pressing his own upon that one.

Kaguya, Elani
She had spent much of her life training to be a perfect tool, a weapon, nothing more, it was how she'd been taught and raised, to serve her village and her Kage until her last breath of life. Her kage was not her master aswell, she was his Captain she served under his direct orders. This woman was slowly sinking to what her clan had originally been, tools who loved to fight and kill, it was in her blood and slowly Shishi was bringing it out. He could see the walls she'd created around herself, more important around her heart and mind.
"I'm afraid I cannot understand what, Shishi is a child, however intelligent and dangerous he is, he does not need companionship, he has me and the others, that has worked so far." She had seen something that had upset her, and she didn't know what to think of it. "Everyone has burdens I have an entire clan's history on my back, can you blame me for pushing everyone away." She had dealt with the fact she was very different, she wasn't a monster but she was not normal either. Shishi didn't seem bothered by her appearance or how she was different, no he'd paid attention to her and promoted her to work as his highest officer, why would she not be grateful? And yet there was still a hole in her heart and her existance.
She flinched a little when he touched her hands, she knew he'd find her skin cold, while flesh was still soft, she felt like ice. El knew he was comforting her but she didn't know how to react, no one offered such comfort before, it was silly and childish in the eyes of most, something a mother did for a child but she was an adult, yet she was comforted by his presence.
"Bridges can let in enemies and can be burned..." It wasn't a statement more of a hidden question. She didn't refuse when he gripped her hands again. He was warm and soft, unlike the others. Glancing at the ground she closed her eyes and seemed to be deep in thought. "I'm sorry." Pulling her hands from his she turned to the side. "I have to go back, they'll know I'm missing." She was about to leave but instead she turned back to face him. "Don't fight me the next time we meet... I can't kill you now." If he attacked her she would not be able to perform tot he fullest of her potential and she would ultimately lose.
"If I don't leave now I'll be in danger." She approached her Halberd and gripped the handle for a moment, her hands clearly trembling a little. "You know what, you keep it." She released the handel and the marks from her fingers changed on the handle as if they ahd been filled and it was ready for someone else. "Thank you." She couldn't glance back because she knew she wouldn't be able to leave...

He gripped the halberg with with feeling of somewhat hesitation and surprise. Swinging it around in a helicopter propeller like manner above his head, he swished it around violently through the air causing the wind around it to make a zooming sound. He brought it across his back slanted sideways and smiled at her. She was something else. To say how munch contempt she felt about her outer beauty, it was the beauty of her inner character that lifted his spirit so. Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief she is beautiful. And that was something she couldn't understand as result of her coming up with Shishi.
"True bridges do both of those things. But it's up to us to allow that to happen now isn't it. If we have the power to create that trust then we also have the power to maintain or destroy. At the end of the day the choice is ours."
He placed a hand on her shoulder as she turned away. He could tell she planned on going back to Shishi no doubt. No doubt about it that. But the choice was solely hers.
"Elani, never look back on something unless you're planning to go that way. If going back to that place is truly what's in your heart, then go. I won't stop you. Besides I'd be nice to see you a little happier than how you looked the first time we met. But now that we're passed that cold shell of yours I can see that you're a nice person."
He released his hand from her shoulder, letting her take the path back to where she started if she had chose to. He wasn't going to stop her if she chose. Seeing her happy was the real purpose of the outcome.
"You know a man once told me to never let a good thing pass me up. An opportunity knocks on the door once, but temptation leans on the doorbell. But behind that door I don't see temptation. I see a young beautiful Kaguya woman who's also crying out for help. Just know that you don't have to bear that burden alone. You can share someone to share some of that weight. Just don't give me too munch, I have enough with this Halberg on my back."
He joked with her the same as in their fight from kyuushin followed by a quiet chuckle from his cracked mask. It had been damaged slightly from one of the bone shards from their earlier fight, but it would manage. He smiled and his aqua bright eyes gleamed through the crevices that etched out across the mask. He couldn't hold back his sense of humor for that long, but then again it was at least to draw a smile from her. Anything to to spark a glimpse of happiness into her face.

Kaguya, Elani
When he had gripped her shoulder she hadn't flinched, his warmth was desirable but she couldn't push herself to accept it, not at this point. He seemed pleased with the halberd and he should considering the time ti took her to create it and shape it to perfection. "It will help you I'm sure, it can withstand quite alot of damage." She frowned a little as she began to walk.
"Some choices are harder to make than others." She muttered in response to his comment. He seemed to know that making contact with her made it more and more difficult for her to leave, however she could not let one meeting with him change everything she'd lived for, no matter how much her heart wanted to.
"I wont look back, next time I'll be facing you, your true face and hopefull it wont be during battle." His words had brought her to a halt but she did not glance back. "I think crying is the wrong word, I don't cry, not since the injury to my face, I don't have it in me." His joke brought a tiny smile to her lips however her hair prevented him from seeing it.
As she moved back into a steady walk she gave a curt wave with her hand. "Remember just because I leave now... Doesn't mean I didn't learn something about myself." With that she vanished. It seemed there was hope for her yet, she was however correct she had to go back for now at least, if she didn't it would cause issues aswell, she had nothing with her, none of her cltohing or supplies. SIlently Elani hoped she would see the young man again...

 "Who were you talking to Sano?" Atraeyu bodyflckered behind him. His eyes more narrow and determined than ever. Not far behind the other bloodtrail members would be following him to the rally point they met up on. "I see you got yourself a new sword. Very large indeed to say that it's clearly made of bone. I couldn't even comprehend what how large the creature was to create such a thing. Atraeyu spoke sarcastically to him knowing full well that only a Kaguya could generate something so large. There was no creature in the entire world to form such a large sword from. At least not in these areas. "Question is how did you manage to obtain something so big Sano." He said with more sarcasm in his words. "I mean with such low funds from our group. Surely you couldn't have been messing around with that witch from the Akatsuki have you. I know you could've killed that woman but you let your feelings get the best of you. Do not forget your mission."

"I wouldn't be too concerned about it man. You know me better than that. I've been holding my own just fine up until now. Besides. You got something you're not telling me as well. Something about that snake specialist Shishi. Somehow you know him, but I'll let that one ride until the subject is needed for opening again. We'll just keep that as our little secret buddy."
He smirked while patting Atraeyu on the shoulders. Things had a way on backfiring on other people. Just as Atraeyu knew Sano's little secret he also held one of his own bout Atraeyu and Shishi's meeting. Though he didn't know what it was that they planned. He cared not what came of it. All he wanted to do was get his share of the deal and then he was out of this group. Traveling to the far ends of the continent was part of his goal. And meeting back up with his native ancestry. The Land of Yggdrasil, where everything started with the Flame Village and how it came to be.
"Well you'd better get on with the plan. I'm anxious to test out my new companion. Let's see. The Moon Fang, that sounds about right."
He said lifting up it up with his right hand before letting it slam into the ground in front of him causing dirt to spread before it's horrible weight.

 Sakuya arrived here with eye slighty open and his right arm in his new jacket sleeve and the left arm hanging out since Sieg destoryed Sakuya's old jacket. So he got new jacket as happy. He looked at them with eye slighty open and his right arm in his new jacket sleeve. Sakuya was sure that the Blood Trails saved him. As He spoke to them. "Hey The Blood Trails guys. Why did you save me?! I was happy to alone myself now you came to save me from ugly Akatsuki members." Sakuya stared at them with his eye slighty open and his right arm in his new jacket.

Sato soon appeared behind the two and was as back in shape as ever. He hopped to the side of Atraeyu looking up at him as he and Sano spoke and then put in his own two sense.
"So we're almost done here right. What now. Do we head out to finish those bastards off or do we wait here. Also Atraeyu, you should've waited until I killed off Soma myself. I could've taken him by myself you know. You took my kill." He grinned towards his cousin.
