Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rai walks out of the door and turns around to lock it when he feels a pull at his chakra. That pull was one that Rai knew from a long time ago. Rai remembers the last time that the two of them had met and knew that He wouldn't be calling in Rai unless it was of the utmost importance. While Rai was not the strongest member of this mans guardians he was one of the most loyal and someone on who the man could count on. Rai knows that he should listen right away but his experiments are at a critical stage in their evolution. Rai walks back into the foyer and sees what is happening inside.

To the right through a doorway and out of the foyer there is a small marble bust of a man that seems to be alive. Rai walks over to it and bows his head respectively. "Evan, you were my most favorite friend and experiment. Oh what I would give to get you back to the way you once were." Rai says as his eyes start to water little by little. "If only we could work together once more but you made it quite clear that you do not want to work with me any more. And I know that this is well..." Rai turns his head so that he would not cry in front of the statue of his once best friend.

Rai walks farther into the room. This room was where he decided to go to only when he needed to remember the past or to converse with someone that he did not know where they were. Rai moves to another statue this one made out of plants and is in cased in a metal as black as ash and as strong as diamonds pulled from the earths crust. Rai knees before the figure inside a diamond vase and holds his hand out towards the metal control panel. Seven threads of the same black metal twist and turn their way from his hand til they touch the black control panel. "Yes Chaos-no-Kami?" Rai waits a moment until he can understand the Chakra signals from the plants and the ninja. This was how Rai and Chaos had conversed for a while now and it was as time tested as it came. Rai knew that not one of the ninja in this village yet would be able to understand the entire conversation as Chaos made sure of that. Rai also knew that the metal that was connecting him with the plants was the only reason that he could understand the message.

"Chaos I am in the vital point in my experiment and you cant expect me to just drop everything. The boy is not yet ready for the next stage and I had to place the inhibitors inside him already. His evolution is almost complete but if I am to finish this I will need to be here not there." Rai stops and listens for a while. "You say that there is a matter of which that I would need to be at hand? But why would I need to be there now?" Rai waits as the response is given. "I see and you said that this village is called the Village hidden in the towns?" Rai said as he started to think of what to do next. "Ok I can grab a few things and be there shortly... What can you tell me about the village folk." Rai waits as all of the information makes its way into his mind through the connection. "Thank you I will be there as soon as I can." Rai says as the threads break contact and retreat into his arm once again.

Rai stands up and sighs. He knew now that he was to go to a place and scout out everything that he could in order to help his partner. Rai still did not trust Chaos completely but was sure of the fact that he was still honor bound to help him where he could. The fact that Chaos had more knowledge at his disposal and more power aside Rai was still a formidable opponent when he needed to be but he would never betray Chaos without the right cause. If only there was someone he could take with him but unless he chose to take the boy it would be worthless. The others in this village were not to know of his involvement with Chaos' schemes and Rai would do what he could to keep it that way.

Rai turns and walks towards the basement where his experiments where being held. Rai had long dicided that if chakra existed that there should be an opposite force to counteract it. Rai had dubbed this force Null or void chakra for if his theories were correct then it would cancel chakra out for a small range around thoes that could use it. Rai had tampered with a blood line in the past and was working towards an end to make this bloodline limit for himself. Rai had taken a boy who had shown the most potential for this and branded him with Rai's personal curse mark making him Rai's right hand. Rai looked at the boy and snapped his fingers. "Up and get packed you will follow me out of this village in one hour and you will meet me at this village." Rai points on a map in the area that he had been told the village ruins where. " You will keep yourself hidden from all but me and that is the way it will be." Rai says as he picks up his suitcase and turns blazing into black flames and disappearing. The boy says nothing but packs a small pack and vanishes in a small ball of light.

When the door is kicked in the seal flares quickly then dissapates as quick as it came. As Crais stepped into the foyer there appeared a large man from up the stairs. This man stood about six feet six inches and was about three hundred pounds. He wore wooden armor and had a huge wooden sword. The man wore a long black robe that had a red eye symbol on the hood.

"Why are you here in our master's house?" The man says. He holds up his pale hands and pulls down his hood to reveal his messy brown hair. "My name is Kibori and I am in charge of protecting this house from all matters of..." Kibori stops as he looks at Crais. "Are you Crais?" He asks clamly.

Narkosa stood there looking upon the large house that loomed ahead "Now my friend we will meet once more," he whispers to himself. Taking a single step forward Narkosa raises his gaurd, to begin his journey to Rai's manor. Underneath his cloathing something stirred "Calm down there is no need to be anxious we know there are going to be some sort of traps lying ahead for us," Narkosa assures himself letting the stirring stop. Moving closer Narkosa see that someone has already enter Rai's place. "Hmmmm whoever did this has my kind of style," he said with a sly smile. Picking his feet up Narkosa moves swiftly to the manor wanting to see who had knocked down the doors.

Narkosa made his way to the fallen doors catching the last part of what Crais said. "Anything would be an improvement onto this drab old place," Narkosa said leaning against the broken door frame

Crais raised her eyebrow at being called 'mistress'. "I suppose Rai still talks about me, awell. By the way I am moving in here, better than a cave I suppose..." She looked around at the room again seeing it as it is supposed to be seen and stands up. "The cobwebs were a nice touch though, and the drapes would be better replaced with bricks." Crais looked over her shoulder at Narkosa without much thought to him she turned back to Kibori. "Where should I put my bag?" She motioned to the now black soaked fabric and puddle of dark red that was at her feet.

Crais shrugged watching Kibori jump down and picked up her pack that was dripping slightly still. "Useless..." She muttered and threw it out the kicked in door missing Narkosa but barely, it landed on the walk with a sloosh sound. Crais looked straight at Kibori and said, "You might as well show me where 'master' Rai's room is, that way I know how to avoid it... You wouldn't want me stepping in there on accident and making a mess of things now would you?" Her voice was evenly toned albeit cold when she said this. "You there," She turned her head back to Narkosa, "watch the puddle."

Crais glanced towards the stairs then said, "I suppose I'll wait in the library then as well. It doesn't matter, after all I have time to waste." She turned and started to walk to the left arch then stopped. "Unless there's anything else you need to say?" She turned back to Kibori.

Crais paused hearing the boy but her thoughts soon turned elsewhere and she spoke to Kibori. "Oh I'll make sure to do that..." She continued towards the library keeping her guard up and couldn't help but think to herself, 'So I've been roaming around working on some things and look who's been a busy boy lately...' There was a slight hint of a smirk when she thought that but with her back turned no one else could see it.
