Underneath the rain of Crimson Petals ch. 2: "NinEx: We'll get it there...eventually"

[PyrosNine]

Rose panted heavily. She had used up a great amount of chakra with that fight, but as of current, she still had a normal sized amount of chakra to spare. The greatest toll was the mental one. While a majority of her clones had poofed when she wanted them too, there were some that objected, as well as some that ran off.

She guessed she could blame it on the cursed seal upon her head, but it did irk her a bit that there might be clones still out there, unpoofed. Oh well. Perhaps Kazero would find and take care of them before he came here to tongue lash me. Jin and Shino wouldn't mind my rough housing, unless it was a danger to my life. They only care that I'm where their money comes from...

She expected Kazero very soon, though he might be swayed to not interfere with the mission by pounding me senseless.

She did have to say that the Ninja from the mist who intervened in their fight was admirable, as in his wisdom all he had done wa kept watch patiently until the real Tomasu was clearly visible, and smack him around with speed and silence. Why didn't Rose think of that?

She turned to face the group. She hadn't been paying attention at all when the Shinobi leader of the Village had explained the mission, or while the others were discussing stratagems. This would obviously present a problem, but Rose had never been a part of a team before, her sensei opting out of that particular lesson due to the easily angered nature of his ward. And another reason, which Rose had yet to pick up.

<Well, fuck. Do I risk looking stupid and ask what we're doing, or do I simply pretend that I know long enough to get away with it? Wait...Is that Aseta?>

[Incendius]

Chirin sighed, this mission was going to be a long one it seemed. Shrugging Chirin nodded towards Tsume believing his plan to be sound. "I'll meet up with everyone in a little while, I need to go check out my house and set down my things." Getting up he bowed low towards Ryugan and said "I shall make sure if it is within my ability that the scroll will get to the apointed destination on time Ryugan sama". Swiftly he turned and walked through the door towards his house to set out his things.

[Red Mage Black]

I'm not going to be able to work with these people if they can't get along. As Kira made his way to the door, he stopped and looked back at Rose. "I hope you know. I almost got clipped by one of your clones before entering the tower. Be careful next time." Kira walked out the door before Rose could respond. He headed towards his house to gather up some food and clothes before the mission start.

He walked aside his partner. "They sure do bicker alot all things considered. You do know you are a good scout but a better assasin and infiltrater. But you forgot I am the best scout and spy in our graduating class thanks to my power. Suprised you forgot to tell them of that."

[MC43]

Nanashi's eyes slowly closed as everyone filed out of the room. Great. We're either gonna kill each other and fail the mission, be unprepared and fail the mission, or just argue with each other about which way to go on the map and fail the mission. Any of the choices, and everything is going to be tossed out the window. Great group you've picked Kage. He stood up and took a breath.

I guess it could be worse. I've made too many assumptions as to this group. Perhaps on the battle field we shall mesh together, like the wind and the snow in a storm, and with our combined fury crush our opponant and get our objective completed. I must have faith in the plan. He walked out of the door, down the stairs and out of the tower into the house that was declared his, sat on the mat he had brought from his town, closed his eyes and meditated until the time he was supposed to meet uup with the others.

[Incendius]

Chirin replied "I didn't feel like I needed to tell them. I implied that we worked well together and that was all that is needed for them to know. We may never know if we will have to split up from them or even fight them, and it is wise to not reveal all of ones occurence in that case. This peace is shaky still and war might erupt at any time." A smile alit onto Chirin's face as he thought of something. Opening his mouth in a wicked grin he said "And who would think you could even find your way around a room let alone scout. Sometimes I wonder if those people are right!" With that phrase uttered Chirin laughed along with the obvious good natured ribbing of his partner.

[Aerozord]

He laughed with his friend. "You definately have a good point. But I would attract alot more attention if they saw what my face really looked like. Oh and that reminds me." Tosses Chirin a small headset. "I can hide mine under my wrappings, I am sure you can find your own way to disguise it. Could be useful in a pinch. Now all we have to do is get the scroll there. Just remember, if need be you cloak and run. I will keep bide you enough time."

[Incendius]

Catching the radio Chirin said "I think I have a solution, as bad as it may be. In any case I will see you later, and you shall see me not at all". Getting into a jog Chirin waved back with his hand "Come get me if you need anything"

[TheBlindMime]

Aseta sighed, he really wanted a cigarette. his chair creaked as he leaned forward putting a hand against his battered eye, he solemnly began to speak complaints rather openly since no one would bother listening to him anyways. "Sigh, why couldn't I just been sent on a suicide mission. I could handle that. Boom, done. Suicide accomplished, but nooooo," Aseta sighed as his head drooped to the side, his thoughts echoeing far louder, I have two people to kill, two and if that girl had achieved kicking me in the balls it would have made it three.

Aseta threw his body over the other side of the chair his head drooping over its back, "I'll show that fuzzball how its done, Boom, done." Aseta's eyes opened lazily to see his glasses behind him, tipping his chair back he snatched them from the ground and set them on his upside down face, he groaned, "Cracked?" Sliding them from his face he crushed the thin frames in his hand. "Boom... done." He had rather liked that set.

He dropped the remnants to the floor and began walking out of the room when he caught a familiar face, "Bara Shojo?"

[Mintaro]

Kokuo stopped in the middle of the clearing between the tower and his house. He placed a hand on his staff stuck in the ground and then yanked once, pulling it free. He swung it around into the strap on his back. Then used his tail to strap it in. He was about to head back to his small house when he caught a familiar scent.

"Ah yes the lady with the nice butt." He thought. Turning around he saw her storming out of the tower. "hey" he began, Damn what was her name. Ah right."

"Hey Tayuumi. Wait up." She kept walking ignoring him. "Ah don't be like that." He ran quickly to catch up with her, his bare feet moving expertly through the muddy ground. "Hey Tayuumi, I'm sorry about before. When I get in a fight I get, a little out of control, and when I get in a big group I tend to try to show off." With a quick dash he stopped a couple feet in front of her and bowed. "I do apologize most sincerely for my transgression. I hope you can forgive me." Kokuo stayed in that position until either Tayuumi passed him or reacted.
