Shikatsu arrived not to long after the signal had been used and stood atop a building just in front of the ramen shop, trying to see if he could spot the culprit. This was a very public area and he didn't want to put any of the people in harms way if he could help it. He knelt down on one knee and ran different scenarios though his head as he looked on in anticipation for who he would have to face.

Elizabeth counted off to 30 seconds. Enough time for someone to employ some sort of action against her from inside the eatery. When no attack was coming forthwith, she drew a breath. Involving civilians would always make things worse. However she figured she already had the anbu closing in at this point. That was the point of this sort of warning. So she would probably have to play with what was available. "I wonder how they train their shinobi now." She thought to herself as she looked at the back of a retreating teenager. She lifted her hand, pointed her fingers in the boys direction and sent a snap of puppet strings into his back. She winced at the impact as she took over his neural pathways, and overrode the boys body. Shame he had no training. It wasnt hard to fight this with a little bit of knowledge. She just put a little of her chakra into it and felt the connection snap into place.
The boys vision was fuzzy. He wasnt sure what was going on exactly. Nothing really hurt, everything felt...light somehow. He felt a presence push him to the bar and behind it where he collected a block of cooking knives that he carried out under his arms. He moved up to the door as the threads spooled out behind the boy, the door opening from his own efforts. He marched into the street and stood there, panning his vision around as Elizabeth picked up external threats through the boys senses. She locked eyes with the one on the roof and drew a steakknife, and threw it at the anbu soldier.
Inside the restaurant, Elizabeth picked up her rifle and loaded a capsule into the loading chamber. Ready to fire, she kicked the door closed behind the last civilian out and locked it behind her, before posting up on the bar. Her bipod was down, and her sights were on the back of the boy she was puppeting, waiting for the inevitable disabling blow on her instrument. "If they dont hit me hard enough, its gonna remain active though. Too hard and they kill him. This will be interesting to watch." She said, reaching finally into her back, and pulling an item out to place it on a lower shelf behind the counter. She pressed a button to turn it on, and sensors in the area just had a sheet pulled over their eyes when it came to finding her. She made sure it was set to chakra decoy, and left it under the bar for now, returning to her scope.
He quickly dodged the feeble knife and continued watching his movements. He reached into his pouch and grabbed something. "was that supposed to do something?" He asked as he threw the item down against the rooftop, causing a small cloud of smoke to appear and hide his presence. Shikatsu didn't think that this person would make the signal go off, he didn't seem like that big a threat. However, he wasn't taking any chances and prepped accordingly. He made a single hand sign and created a shadow clone. The clone then rushed out of the smoke towards the boy and aimed a flying kick to his mid section, trying to immobilize him. Meanwhile, the real Shikatsu would carefully make his way over to the ramen shop for a better position.

"Your life is to short, so don't go throwing it away so easily."
Jutsu used: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [ Shadow Clone Technique ] Rank: B Description: This technique creates up to 3 solid clones of the user. The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two decent blows. They can also disperse on their own. Shadow clones can't be distinguished from the original even by doujutsu. This clone can use any technique the user knows. A clone can have anywhere from 1 Chakra to all but 1 Chakra of the user's pool. The same goes for stamina. Each clone takes 15 Chakra to create. The clone disperses if it receives a hit C-Rank or higher or runs out of Chakra or Stamina. When a clone is dispersed, any knowledge it gained while active is transferred to the original, and any remaining Chakra and Stamina is returned to the user. Shadow clones may not leave the same thread that the user is in. The only exception is that a village leader may use shadow clones to aid them in managing the village, although the clones still cannot leave the village.
Dainamikku-Entori [ Dynamic Entry ] Rank: X :: Simple Description: A flying jump kick straight at the enemy. Usually used to create an opening or as a surprise attack. Can be used in conjunction with any kicking technique known or as a standalone attack at its rank. Using it alongside a kick at or below its rank causes that kick to be treated as complex.
Clone: Chakra: 30 Stamina: 30

Elizabeth smiled as he focused on the boy. Perfect. She ignored the words and watched him. The smoke grenade was a variable that she had thought of. She was considering deploying one herself to be honest with her own thoughts. The boy was doubled over the shadow clones leg and Elizabeth let the boys body curl around it and hold it tight. In fight, just to keep that thing where she wanted it, she locked the boys body in a state of rigid muscle. The clone wasnt going anywhere. She however couldnt see through the smoke.
She reached up to her head and flipped down a clearish blue lens followed by an opaque one behind it. "Ahh...There you are..." She whispered as she twisted a bolt on the side of her rifle, sliding a penetrating tip into place in front of her capsule. She saw the body locked up with the boy, and for the sake of it for the moment, left that connection going.
She pivoted her rifle, following the moving chakra signature she was reading through the wall on her lenses. She accounted for his movement, and where he would need to be with the silent puff of the rifle. She clinched her string hand tight, contracting the boys muscles around the clones leg, as he would let out a scream of pain. The boys muscles would begin to tear as she put more effort into it, determined to pop the clones leg from its body and destroy it. It was a good thing she had the lens really. It was the only reason that she was aware that the attacker was a clone.
The moment the clone popped and gave his feedback, Elizabeth would fire through the drywall. Her intent was to strike the targets chest with her shell; prechosen for this individual engagement. She only needed the one with this event. The moment the clone popped, everything moved into motion.
Her brain followed her chain as she saw things unfolding before her. 'The clone explodes and I release the boy. His scream should suffice to bring attention to him. Followed by the feedback to this hunter. This hunter will falter for that one moment. That instant. Im shooting through the wall with this. No chance for error, only going to get one shot. Upon releasing the boy, we will connect a string to our round. Wire guided shot, this time. Just in case the drywall throws my damn shot off. Poor guy, they never expect this..' she thought to herself. She looked up and saw the clone still.
Putting her plan into motion she forced the ripping of the boys muscles around the clone to go into a deadlock. He'd be feeling that. She released him at that moment, knowing it would break the clones leg. She put the rest of her plan into action, made the proper connections and shot through the wall straight into his chest, with her high powered dart rifle.
Having his clone suddenly get dispersed caught him a bit by surprise, but this was a possibility from the start. What he did not think of tho was something coming through the wall at an incredible speed and striking him. He soon felt his muscles start to stretch and tighten as they went into shock, a feeling he was all to familiar with. Not being able to do much at the moment his body tensed as he dropped to his knees.

Elizabeth let out a breath of relief watching the Anbu fall to his knees abruptly. "One ******** it, in for a penny.." She said, leaving her rifle on the counter and drawing her sidearm, moving up to the hole in the wall. She peeked through it to see him sitting, his muscles and organs betraying him. She spoke through the hole. "Dont worry...you wont die." She said, her voice carrying with an almost gentle air about it. "Its just gonna hurt like a b***h for the next hour or so..."She said, her tone leveling from gentle to almost uncaring. As if she was very used to explaining this sort of interaction from a capsule.
She had to ennact her plan before the rest of the forces showed up. She could leave, be on the run further. That wouldnt do. Stay? Bad tactical situation, but she had a hostage if she chose to take it. Maybe then someone would speak to her? "Alright, heres what we are going to do. Im going to send my strings out and you arent going to fight them, or im going to shoot you again and then drag you over...do you understand?" She said through the hole in the wall, careful not to expose herself as more than a disembodied voice to any perceptions around them that she hadnt noticed. Her lens was still on chakra, but the closeness of the wall was a little bright for that filter. So she flipped the lens up and stowed it away. "Im going to send out my strings now..." She said, and let 5 strings go over around the wall. They moved up along the ground like snakes as they attached into his neurological system and eased his body back to his feet. "Dont fight this please...Ittl just end up sticky for you." She said, puppeting the an up to his feet. Assuming he didnt fight her, he would walk around the building and through the door like nothing happened. Minimal exhertion of his part wouldnt even be needed. If he did fight, well, thats what the entrapment capsule was for in her handgun. As he came around the door, he would see her leaning against a far wall, sidearm lightly being drummed against her thigh. "Why am I being attacked then?" she would ask calmly. She had a feeling she already knew. (post of rest unless he fights it.)
Having thought the current situation through, doing as she said was his best coarse of action. This way he could finally see who the enemy was as well get some info on them hopefully. His muscles were going to be useless for a while so best to keep playing along until something changed in this scenario. He rounded the corner and got his first look at the enemy, a young girl with brunet hair and violet eyes stood before him. She was wearing some king of uniform it looked like but he didn't see any markings as to who, but had a guess. He studied her carefully as she spoke to him. "To be clear, I didn't attack you, you made that boy attack me first. I was merely observing and trying to ascertain the situation because the signal went off. Now, as to why it went off I do not know. Hence why I was watching from a distance. Why do you think the alarm went off?" He asked back, watching her as he gave his answer, knowing it probably wasn't one she wanted. Trying to gather information was all he could do at the moment.

"Do you see anyone else here that is supposedly wanted? Its not hard to figure out why it went off. When youve been in the business as long as I have, its a good idea to not trust the guys in the masks." She said, waiving a finger at him, making his own move slightly in the process. "Now, I have a good idea as to WHY it went off yes. I likely have stolen something important from here. That hardly narrows it down though, Ive stolen something important from everywhere. Its the business." She said, picking her rifle back up from the counter and slinging it onto her back, sidearm still trained on the anbu's chest. "I guess now would be the best time for you to give me any information you can to make this go as smoothly as possible. Before you suggest it however, surrender isnt an option. Im not getting beat by some guard in your prisons to never see light of day again. No, I came here for a home but I dont think thats going to be doable..."she said, standing up, her back straight. Her finger tightened slightly on her sidearms trigger as she decided whether or not to pull the trigger and render the shinobi unable to bother her. It would tie up konoha forces while she figured out what she was to do.
Shikatsu pondered his thoughts for a moment, going over a multitude of things as he did. He knew he wasn't going to be able to do anything for a while so his best option was to stall. The only problem is that if it didn't go well she could just easily shoot him again. He let out an audible sigh, probably louder than he should have in his current situation. This was more than he had planned for and was more then he wanted to deal with. "Look, I understand where you're coming from, but there are 2 things I have a problem with. The first being the information. You didn't say what you wanted information on so how could I answer that? And the second is the fact that, even if surrender isn't an option for you, it is still something I have to address to try and settle this peacefully. I don't want to fight, if you can believe that. I actually detest fighting and try my best to avoid it when at all possible." He paused there for a moment to let it all sink in and see what her reactions, if any, would be. After a minuet he spoke up again. "Now, what exactly is it that you are wanting out of me?" A simple straight forward question that may give him a bit of an idea as to who this girl was and what she wanted.

"Hmm..I didnt did I. Im looking for someone I doubt you all would approve of me looking for. I dont need help finding them, its obvious that they've moved on. Now I get to play with your forces a little before I make my exit." She said, forming a seal and having two simple solid clones spawn on either side of her. One drew its pistol and lightly tossed it into the air, walking to the door of the building while changing her body to another identity. One of the worker girl that was in the back before she left out the door with the others. The other moved up and caught it, taking its old place and leveling its weapon at the mans chest from across the room. "Now, This is how I guess this is going to have to work. You make a point here and there but Im not in the mood to talk much right now. I dont mind being friendly but I feel as if Im now moving too slow..." She said, her physical form picking up her cover and throwing it over her back, concealing her rifle under a cloak. She slipped her sidearm into her holster on her hip and left the room as the clone resumed speaking. "You will be my messenger now. Ill be around. Im not going to cause problems. If the Anbu come after me, youll start finding bodies. Understand?" She said with a hint of venom and warning in her voice. Then she shot him.
When she fired two things happened. One, it didnt hurt. It fact he would feel warm as the capsule did its job. It broke up in mid air after a loud pop from the weapon that would make others inside the building have ringing ears. The second thing that would happen is a mass of gel would expand and smack across his chest and solidify into pretty much rock. She would fire rapidly twice more with each weapon at close range. He would find the mass was more like steel. "Dont worry...its nonlethal and youll be able to break free. Eventually...Listen to my warning. Dont be an idiot." She said and dispersed her clones, leaving the room mostly empty, full of smoke and her messenger sitting in the middle of the room. (exit)
Shikatsu was finally able to get the feeling back in his body without all of the pain from the just he was shot with. After a few minutes of struggling he would break free of the solidified gel. "That was way to much trouble. Now, i'll have to see to that kid." He said to himself as he approached the kid that he knocked out earlier. He wasn't to hurt externally, but his muscles were damaged from the girls attack. He placed his hands over him as they started to glow and the injuries would heal. After a few minutes of this he stopped and had a medical team member come and take him to the hospital for overnight watch. " There is no use hunting this person down just yet, they'll make another move soon enough. Till then, I should get back into shape. I wonder if anyone is able to train with me." He said as he vanished.

Sev stayed at the ramen stand for some time, waiting. Why was he waiting? He wasn't entirely sure. He knew that Inka was a busy man, and he barely knew him... or remembered him, that is. But still, Severin waited. His slender fingers holding a glass of iced tea by the rim, swirling the left over ice and mint that floated in it. The bowl of ramen in front of him was finished, and it was clear by now-- Inka wasn't coming. Sev stared at the swirling mix of melted ice mixed with tea and icecubes making their rounds in the glass. The daughter of the father-daughter duo peaked out from the kitchen portion of the stall, tilting her head as she watched the Raigyo sit there.
"Why do you look like you've been stood up?" Tyame asked, cleaning off her hands as she moved closer to the counter. Sev looked up at her through silver bangs, sighing and setting his glass down. "Because it feels like I was." Tyame cocked an eyebrow, looking genuinely confused. "In all the times I've seen you come here, you've never once had a date. Are you telling me you were actually waiting for someone?" The Raigyo male grumbled, scratching at his cheek. "Yeah.. or at least...." He groaned. "It was stupid. I'm stupid." His hands covered his face, then ran through his hair, pushing his disheveled locks in to a better form. "It's hopeless, I think."
Tyame clicked her tongue, shaking her head and placing her hands on her hips. "Nothing is really ever hopeless. There's always hope." Severin stared at her for a moment before sighing and standing, placing the money for his food on the counter.
It was getting late. Time to head back to the hospital.
"Severin...!" A red and black blur lands in front of the medic-nin, the form huffing in slight exertion after landing from the rooftop. Brown hair was slightly ruffled, appearing fluffed and somewhat standing on end, but the sight was quickly tamed with a single hand, brushing through and setting it back, revealing amber-red eyes staring at the taller male apologetically. "I'm late." He admits, voice barely hiding the fact he was out of breath. "I know an apology won't make much of a difference, especially after I admit I allowed my ego in sparring against an Anbu as being the cause." The Mizukage used his free hand to remove the cloak of his status from his shoulders, not needing to feel anymore warm than he already was. "Could I tempt you to stay by offering to pay?" He asks, looking suitably embarrassed as well as shame-faced.

Severin had taken a moment to wait outside of the ramen stand, desperately hoping that the one time he put himself out there wouldn't be in vain. He was leaned against the wall just outside the shop, silver bangs tossed in to his face, picking lightly at his nails. Inka would show, right? He had to. Even if he had no interest in the meeting being something romantic, at least duty and reputation would make him show, right?
Just when he thought that all hope was lost, and he began to resign himself to go drown his sorrows in paperwork, in a blink the dark-haired male was in front of him, panting as if he had ran a marathon before coming. 'Did he rush here? To meet me?' Sev wondered in his head, blue hues stuck on Inka as he spoke. He listened calmly and patiently to Inka as he explained the situation and the reason behind his delay. Severin's eyes softened at the explanation, some deep part of him genuinely believing that Inka hadn't meant to blow him off. 'What a relief...'
The Raigyo was quiet for a heartbeat, staring at his fingers as he continued to pick. He could easily say no, the Mizukage had kept him waiting for longer than what would be usually acceptable. But all it took was one more quick look in to Inka's amber eyes, and the words slipped from his lips with a smirk "Trying to bribe me, Lord Mizukage?" The taller male straightened up and gestured with one hand for them to enter the ramen stand, the mischievous smirk and glint still playing on his face. "Luckily for you and your pockets, I'm not a man to accept a bribe. However, to make it up to me you have to promise to at least try my favorite desert here. Deal?"
Inka's jaw clenched, shifting to the side slightly at the silence that filled up the space between them, worried he had truly burned the bridge with the medic-nin. The fact that Severin had looked down at his hands only increased his feeling of chagrin at his rudeness. Inka's head bowed slightly, mentally preparing himself for being rebuked - until he was stunned at the sight of a smirk and subsequent gesture to enter the Ramen Stand. Inka sighed, the heavy weight lifting from his shoulders and a grateful small quirked up one side of his mouth. "I'd enjoy that, thank you. Severin."
Inka would make a small, barely-there noise of appreciation as they entered the Ramen stand properly, being wrapped up in the gently, savoury aromas that signified this particular style of cuisine. It wasn't often he got to have Ramen, either not having the time to cook it, or preferring something faster to eat in the middle of meetings - though honestly his choices for lunch were mostly dictated by 'whichever is least messy' as he would find himself eating while reading reports more frequent than not.
Inka perused the menu while his hands rolled up the cloak he had been wearing, concealing the only sign stating his status within Kirigakure. Not even the Anbu who would usually accompany him could be seen anywhere. "You've eaten here before?" He inquires, keeping to a safe topic. "Are you familiar with much of Konoha?"
