A Mission?

[kalo]

Not really giving the events any thought while on board of the sailor ship, Masamune found himself walking along the outskirts, the forest of the Mist playing with his gloves and thinking about what had just happened to him. So now the Leaf hates me.. After everything I've done.. He would think to himself. He had lived with people hating him, a whole village hating you wouldn't be anything compared to what he had been through. He could live with that. But that didn't eliminate the fact that it would be much harder to see Shiraha again, much harder. Shiraha.. What had the man said to her? There was no point in playing dumb in his mind. He knew exactly what he told her. There was nothing to hide anymore. He had told her how he felt, no matter how she took it, he would always feel the same. Even if she told him she didn't feel the same or felt about another guy, The blonde Hyuuga would always feel same. But he had already established that.

The man would let out a deep sigh and then look up from fiddling with his gloves. He didn't feel like walking through the village at the moment but he wanted to get back to his home. Letting out another sigh he would proceed entering through the village gates and continuing in the streets. Bows and waves, bows and waves. Whispers of females and whatnot as he passed by. "Thats that Blonde Hyuuga? He's cute! Mysterious and cute!" He'd never noticed their gossiping or whispers before, maybe because he knew exactly what to think about. But now he had so many things racing through his mind he didn't know which one to dwell upon first. He just needed to get organized again. But then again he'd already got everything straightened out. He just wanted to run through them over and over again was all.

The Blonde Hyuuga would run a hand through his hair and then look up finally turning on a less crowded street. His white eyes scanned around the area. "Hm.." he would coo to himself. He'd told Shiraha how he felt, seen Ryuujin, didn't exactly get to say what he wanted to him. And now he had to worry about the Leaf village. But then again maybe not. They wouldn't be stupid enough to send ANY elite or whatever into the heart of the Mist Village just to kill Masamune. He wished the Mist could just be friendly with them. But that'd have to hold until the new Mizukage was chosen at least. He would look up at the sky and then back down onto the street. Okay.. Now lets get down to some Mist business. Konoha will have to wait for a minute. Finally deciding what he wanted to do now the man would begin to walk again. But soon a figure would appear in front of him causing him to stop dead in his tracks..

This is Heero, so I will be posting as Baal with you guys as he accompanies you all. I hope you do mind.

He noticed the sudden change with her, the sudden feel of her. He would sigh out softly as he just watched her beginning ahead. He knew that at this time, she should not be trifled with, she should not be moved, nor in any way shape or form provoked. At this time he knew how she should act about, to keep her calm, and to keep her happy. His hands would stay along his sides, he kept his back in a slouched position as if somewhat laid back not truly caring about anything in the whole world. He could feel the little fox trotting near by, somewhat staying away from her as the tall man would slowly turn his attention towards the little fox here and there, ensuring it was around. In all times he would treat the fox as is if was some sort of neusence, especially around the pressence of others, but when alone, the fox was perhaps his second friend.

He continued to walk as he would sigh to himself, his slouched position, him keeping his eyes forward as the medical gause stayed over his mouth, near his nose as he stayed there without movement, without sound. He looked that of a black suited monk, but one would ease with caution for his clothing was to constricted along some areas of his body.

He knew she wanted revenge, but he had to stay quiet, he had to stay to himself as he just looked on, not truly speaking a word to her, not really giving her any sudden movements. Then without moment he noticed someone ahead, someone he needed to find. Slowly reaching into his shirt, within his Kenpo like suite he slowly pulled out what looked perhaps to be a piece of paper, within it had a few names scribbled against it. Slowly crunching it he threw it along the ground as it bounced here and there as he would stop in front of the man ahead. The man who went by the name of Masamune, the man who left the city of Leaf to join the Mist. Baal did not trust him, even though this man was here for awhile, to the mind of Baal it seemed that if he were to leave Leaf why would he stay in Mist. Perhaps it was his own business, perhaps it was his own choice, but Baal cared to less to even ask. Stopping he would hold out a hand, the hand that had an object within it.

A scroll was what he held as he waited for someone to take it. He spoke nothing, nor would say anything, but acted more as a messenger. This was the man he had to travel with, along with Mai, as well as a man who was known as an Uchiha. This was the first meeting, their first A Ranked mission. Perhaps things may get interesting, perhaps someone may die. As he held out the scroll he would just wait paitently, wondering who would indeed take the scroll. No matter what though, everyone had to read it, and who ever would take the scroll would have it state that those who would take this mission needed to travel off towards the City Capital of Mist and try to find any information if they could about the two teams, find out if they even made it on towards their next generation. From the Capital City they needed to travel in a ship that would take them to a port city of Fire Country, from the Fire Country, they would need to take another ship that would head towards the Nagi Islands, from the Nagi Islands they would need to travel towards a City within the Tea country, as they would take one last ship ride towards Jiro Island. This was the past teams locations, this is where they needed to go, this is where they had to find out what they could.

The scroll would also mention something about their fair would be taken care of, for a round trip with all ships would be a thousand each person. Baal would then slowly hold out his hand holding what seemed to be a small pouch of money which was their travel fair, but that is all that they were offered. There was no pouches for them, no backpacks, only with what they had. Along the Scroll it also would state that it would be best that all ninjas would not wear their headbands, especially during this time of war. They may keep it near, but they were not allowed to show who they were.

As they would finish the scroll, along the bottom, there would be a small phrase, a small hidden mission one would think. Since the Mist hated, and did not care for those of the Leaf Village, it stated...

SPOILER: Click to show

All Leaf ninja if found must be killed with silence and non notice, ensure that the Mist had nothing to do with it. Bring back the headband as proof for payment of 7,000 Ryo each headband

[Mai]

She had cried her tears, now she wanted her revenge. She had let her other side take over, her loss had been to great to keep the sadness and anger from takeing over. She lay deep inside of herself, alone in the dark as she wondered. How could anyone kill such kind people so easily? What was it that her parents were into that got them killed? There were so many questions, yet no awnsers to ease her mind. So she would stay hiddend within and let the other do the work for now. She needed her time to greive in secret and this was the only way to do it. How she longed for things to be happy again, but the truth was that things wernt ever truely happy.

Her other side wanted blood, it wanted revenge and wasnt going to let the sweet innocent side come out until it got what it wanted. She walked silently through the streets leting her feet and ears lead her. She listened to Baals footsteps so that she would know which way he was going, ready to cut down anyone that got in her way. Her heart was cold and she cared for nothing. Her brilliant purple eyes were blank, they didnt have their ushual twinkle in them a sighn that she was not her ushual self. She was the self that should not be angered, the one who liked to toy with others minds. She liked to make them suffer, but no this was not the true Mai. THe true Mai wouldnt hurt anyone unless she absolutely had to, the true Mai cared for everything.

She heard His footsteps stop and looked to her right seeing a man standing there. She simply watched him out of the corner of her eye, just waiting for him to do something. She waited for a reason to strike, wanting to get into his head and play. Slowly she turned to face the stranger ignoring the scroll, she had no need for it all she needed was to connect with Baals mind again and she would know what was written on the scroll as long as he did. This other side of mai didnt like to stay inside anyones head unless it was to torture them, but the sweet side of mai would stay linked to Baal for days on end just to feel close to someone she cared for. Her black hair glimmered in the light, her purple eyes staying focused on the men before her.

Excitement began to fill the young woman as she stood paitently for someone to take the scroll. Her hands were limp at her side her left, a kunai was placed right under her left palm for easy access if the need should arise to use it but her paitence was wearing quickly. She stood tall and confident , She was starting to get anxious which wasnt a good thing when she was in this state of mind. She would become more reckless and careless the longer she stood and became annoyed. Her mood changed so easily when she was like this, the slightest thing could set her off.

[kalo]

No speech? No gestures? No emotions showed? Reminded the blonde haired Hyuuga of himself back when he was in his early teenage days. Maybe the man was the talk of the village? Maybe everybody wanted to be like "Masamune" now? The quiet, emotionless type. If these people were like this then he didn't want to have anything to do with them. He hoped he didn't have to travel with them if they were just going to stand there and watch him. Masamune would sigh and run a hand through his spikey hair. He would raise his head staring at the sky for a moment and then slowly level it back down to analyze the people before him. The Man who seemed to be in front held out a scroll to him. Obviously a mission from the Kage.. He thought to himself. By the people before him's expressions and whatnot, they probably already knew who he was. It was hard to actually walk in the Mist Village and not know who Masamune and Mario were.

Masamune would listen to the few steps he would make and then let out a soft sigh to himself. He would reach his hand out to take the scroll and then rip off the tape openeing the piece of paper. The man would scan through it quickly, but his eyes would remain fixed upon the last little bit about killing all leaf ninja. Hm.. He would automatically think to himself. That little bit was probably unlikely. He would fold it up a jam it in his pocket. So Mario's here too? Always late.. He would sigh thinking to himself. He would then look up at the two people in front of him. His annoyed side would start to come out as he began to get annoyed by the "Masamune-like people". "Masamune." He would coo to them telling his new teammates his name. If he had to work with them and watch their backs, thenat least he could know their names. He could careless about their past and whatever.

Before the two could get a chance to answer, Masamune would turn his back and take a few steps forward. Of course the man hadn't trusted niether of them. Especially how the girl had been eyeing him. And it wasn't one of those "gossip" female eyes either. More of a, "Touch My Man and I'll kill you!" eyes. Of course as always the man had been laid back and calm about everything. He could careless if they attacked. If they did attack they'd be in for a rude awakening. Especially with Mario nearby waiting to make his "grand entrance". Obeying the scroll, he would take his headband off his shoulder guard and jam it in his back pocket which had been concealed away by the Lion Heart's sheathe. Masamune would shake his head and then sigh. This village has got some "re-contstructing" to do. He would think to himself. He would stop in his tracks finally and turn around.

Masamune felt uncomfortable with these people staring at him. "Mario..." He would mutter to himself, annoyed by Mario's lateness. A funny situation indeed. He was on his way to take a mission and it appears the Kage already had one for him. This was going to be fun.. But then again.. No.

[Mario Uchiha]

Mario was walking towards the location were he was told to be before the whole mission was to start, everything seemed to have been going fine that day, he had a small spar with two genin even if it was out of laziness but other than that everything was going ok. well i guess i might as well think through everyones thoughts as the mission would start. i know the two people or one person that is going to join us are all going to be like quiet type of people who are going to act like their intire past was bad. i hate people like them, just about every ninja goes through this but yet they all act like whinning Emo's the only person whos personality is different from any of those emo people is Masamune, best bud. he may get on my nerves at times but its how things have been sence we were kids growing up, i guess you could say its all apart of the circle or what ever he thought to himself as he continued to walk through the area in front of him.

right now he could care less about what happen, he only had a few task, and that was to protect his team and take his reward. no hard feelings at all, hopefully the other ninjas wouldnt take it so serious. i know masamune wont take it seriously but others like to take it as if their lives were on the line, their shouldnt be anything to worry about at the moment, we have to make sure everything goes right. as long as masamune and i are around on the mission to help support the Mist village everything will go into a ok form. i cant say were perfect but we arent just regular Jounin, I and Masamune are beyond that, maby even over a high Ranking jounin but it doesnt matter by rank, this whole mission is going to have to based off team work but if we have to many Emotional issues we are all going to die in a ordered fasion, of course we know our lives on the line every mission but that doesnt mean we want to come out dead right he thought to himself giving out all his unesasary thoughts before he arrived so he could get on his happy side.

continueing to walk through he noticed the others around each other.hmm, Masamune a girl and another guy. no ones talking to i guess my prediction was right he said to himself as he flickered next to masamune smirking abit, he really didnt care what the others would think but he wasnt showing off. the guy looked as if he had been in hell for years and the girl looked as if, if he was to say anything to her friend or possibly and mostly her boy friend she would simply go off, but their was no point in fearing anyone, he could careless about what they would think of him. he was Cheerful or maby sometimes serious during sometime but when it came to battle he was always focused on what he was doing."well im here, the Names Mario Uchiha" he said shrugging his shoulders as he looked around. well i got this bad feeling that somethings going to happen, but oh well im sure we will think of someway to deal with it, hopefully those two arent two connected because if one of them dies its going to fall on all of us he thought to himself as he awaited a simply Emo responce. hopefully not but it was all he could expect from the none talkative people.

[Mai]

Heero said i could post up ahead of him))

The young girl watched as she began to look a bit uneasy. She could feel the unwanted change comming on, the one that would push this self back down into the darkness where it ushually liked to be. THe girl turned to face the one known as Baal, hearing the other mans name ring in her ear, she wondered who this Masamune was. Her eyes looked to the one know as Baal as if pleeding for help but her body gave off no sighn that there was anythign wrong, only her eyes. It was that secret look that only he would know, the one that was needing something familiar to see to find her way back from the darkness of herself. The young girls fists balled up as if she was giong to hit the man infront of her, she stoped breathing her chest halting its motion.

Her mind began to swim with dizzyness, pushing the other side of herself down and away. Mai knew what this side of her was capeable of and wouldnt allow it, it was time to put the bad behind her and face the world again. Her right hand found its way to her forehead as she began to get a headache. Her chest began to move again as she took in slow deep breaths. She hoped no one had noticed her odd behavior though she didnt really know if she had behaved odly just then, She wasnt sure of anything really. Her eyes looked up at Baal once again and she gave him a sweet smile.

Turning to face the back of Masamune she noticed another man walking twards them, she figured that this man was the fourth. She could feel the hurt of her recent loss still inside of her but pushed it out of the way there was no time for such feelings. She had a mission to do and wasnt going to let her actions and feelings risk anyones life. Mai gasped and spun around on her heels to face Baal once again asking in her mind where her little fox pup was, then reolized that her and Baals minds wernt connected anymore ''Baal, where is shadow?" she asked sweetly looking around for the silver hair of the creature.

Spotting him she giggled and took a couple steps twards him opening her arms for the little pup to come to her. Shadow sniffed her hand cautiously and then jumped happily to her. Rubbing her cheek aginst his fur she looked at the new member hearing him introduce himself. She stuck out her hand happily to greet him ''I am Mai Yamanaka, this is Baal'' she said sweetly pointing over her shoulder at Baal ''He doesnt talk much unless its important, well outloud that is. I talk to him in his head'' she giggled again setting the fox down at her feet ''and this is shadow, he bites so be careful'' she teased though she figured that she was the only one that thought it was funny so she bit her bottom lip softly. ''Oh I forgot'' she said happily turning around to face Baal, quickly she made the sighns of the snake and ram connecting hers and Baals minds so that they could communicate since he didnt speak often. She then turned back around, ''sorry if I seemed rude or something earlier.'' she said smileing to Masamune. The past day was a blur to her, she only knew that she had to break out of herself so nothing bad happened.

[baal]

The silent man kept his eyes along the new teamates as they spoke out their words. First was the one that went by the name of Masamune. Staring at him he slowly narrowed his eyes some as he slowly cocked his head to the side. His medical gause slightly stretched as he just kept to himself without speaking or saying a word. Seeing how Masamune moved about showed disrespect towards Baal, but the funny part was that Baal had no intention of ever saying his name, for he knew that the one known as Mai would say something, would know when to state his name. Masamune seemed slightly sad in a sense, as if angry about something, perhaps a bad past. He watched carefully as he stayed calmly to himself watching everything about, watching their bodylanguage, trying to get a better understanding as to who they may or may not be.

Then the next person came forth, but there was something that Masamune had done that slightly bothered him. Giving a slight nod he would stay and wait for the right moment. The next man who came forth was a man similiar to that as before, but seemed a little more confident, more cheery then the other. Tilting his head his coal like eyes stared forth as he waited paitently. Baal kept to himself as he sighed out softly thinking for a moment, taking notes of their weaponry, taking notes of who or what they are. Giving a slight nod he slightly bowed from the name Masamune had spoken about. Strange this team would be, a member of the Uchiha Clan, a member of the Hyuuga Clan, a member of the Kamyuja Clan, and one from the Yamanaka clan. Each with their own special abilities, each with their own strengths, and weaknesses. The name of Uchiha Mario rang through his ears as he noticed something that gave him a nod, somewhat figuring out his speculation.

Turning his attention back towards Mai he noticed how she was desperatly trying to come back into existance. Narrowing his eyes slightly he watched with sorrow, with silence as he slowly took a step towards her. As she struggled more and more he sighed out softly clenching his fists slightly, not wishing for anything to come forth. Then, something happened, her eyes changed, narrowing his eyes he began to read her body language as well as he nodded some smiling within the ragged medical gauses around his face as he sighed out softly. Keeping his eyes upon her he heard the words that she spoke of.

"Baal, where is Shadow."

Giving out a slight nod he slowly cocked his head towards his back as he was signifying that Shadow was over there. This was when he waited for her to speak, waiting for his name to come forth.

''I am Mai Yamanaka, this is Baal.''

Slowly turning away he sighed out softly allowing her to do what she wished with him in a sense as he slowly narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that his full name was not spoken. It was troublesome but if he did not give out his full name, then why should someone else. Giving a slight nod he heard the rest of her words as he suddenly spoke out to Mai within the mind, as her Jutsus kept them together. 'Mai, let Mario read the scroll, Masamune is hiding it.' he thought out as he walked on heading towards the end of the village, so then they may start off their journey.

This was the beginning, this was the start. From the edge of the Village they needed to travel down towards the City Capital. Before they could make it though they would need to travel through the Forest of Lucion, a maze like Forest before they could ever get close to the City Capital.

[kalo]

The "Blondie" would run his hands through his hair and then let out a soft sigh that was more to himself. " Don't do anything stupid, Mario." Masamune would mutter to the man next to him so the other two couldn't hear. His eyes would trail along the ground and up to Mai who had now been holding a little fox. Masamune could already tell there was about to be alot of problems with this girl. Her mood swings were going to prove as some problems. First she was all angry and quiet, then she's all happy. Masamune would ignore that for now and just nod to her. The faster he could get this done, the better. But he had an itch, something was telling him that this wasn't about to get done fast. "Hm.." He would coo quietly to himself.

His eyes would fall upon the one known as Baal. He was actually starting to like this one. It was just one less person he'd have to learn about their past. Since the man seemed like a mute and all, and Masamune didn't know sign language. He closed his eyes and lowered his head, stuffing his hands in his pockets he would turn around and start to follow Baal. Okay.. I guess I'll just be the backbone for this group. Since Mario is just.. Out there. Baal won't get out the box. And the Mai girl seems like she could have a mood swing any minute now. I hope she's not on her period.. With that thought Masamune would sigh again. " Alright then. Obviously this mission is going to be.. "hard?". So, lets just take everything step by step. Our first objective is to get through this forest. Any questions..?"

The man would stop and look over his shoulder at the other two who would now be behind him, and Baal who would now be in front of him. Through the forest, the tree's would brustle and out, an Orange Lion would come out walking next to Masamune. A voice would boom in his head. Ey! Masamune! Where ya goin'? Masamune's head would turn back around looking down at the animal. "Kyro.. Hmm.. I;ve got a mission. Kyro, You know this forest like the back of your fur right?" Masamune would ask the animal. Kyro would lie down getting comfortable and ready for the conversation. "Of course I do! I know every forest in the Water Country like the back of my fur! I mean c'mon really, The country isn't any bigger than my paw!" Masamune nodded to him. He would turn back around to his new team.

"My Lion companion friend here knows the way around this forest. But lets stick close. It doesn't change the fact that this forest is one big maze. And any of us could get lost." He would explain to them. It looked like things were already looking up. Even if Kyro didn't know his way around the forest, he could always lock on to the scent of someone that was at the capital. Masamune would begin to tighten his gloves again. "Follow The yellow brick road! Well.. actually its Follow The Mighty Orange Lion!" The Lion would growl. It would then let out a yawn and close its eyes, awaiting for the humans.

[Mario Uchiha]

for some reason i do not get her, she seems so angry then she happy, but anyway it was alll good, nothing right now had seemed to be going bad and no one was argueing yet, but at the same time i wonder what Mai and the Baal guy are talking about through their minds or what ever, im completely clueless on what to say and Masamune wants me to act all cool i suppose because i dont know, unless hes not im just going to be myself, and with no one realy talking its going to be abit boring just standing their the whole entire time. she seems to be abit active but at the same time she acts as if shes crazy, your calm at one time then the next thing you know they start pulling out weapons and start throwing it at you, but oh well i cant keep on talking about them like that, so ill just find something to do while were walking to, i dont know somewere i suppose he thought to himself as he fallowed behind Masamune and the other guy as they walked away motionless.

i thought we were suppose to get some kind of scroll of some sort before the mission start, and plus i dont even know what to do right now he thought looking at the Girl Mai who was behind so far untill she decided to follow. her and that guy Baal seem to have some real connection, like serious. what if she tries to read our minds or something like that for the cause of evil, plus what is their status in the mist village, i have never heard of those two. i guess they really didnt help around the village as much as we did, they look soo. evil but at the same time i shouldnt think that cause the last thing on my mind that i would want to do is cause a big warfare between i and all the others, and i wonder why Masamune is all of a sudden Quiet, does he actually like this guy he thought chuckling. that would be kinda funny, but at the same time if i could read minds like she could i would read masamunes mind, their is so much to know about him. i heard that Valo had came into to the village before Masamune left somewere,i think the leaf but i guess sence he isnt here i assumed that Masamune still has some beefing with them. i still own him some Ryo dont i...or do i own someone else.

he thought to himself as he begain to rub his head. well their is something that i would like to buy for him to make us all one whole, we could be the Ultimate masters he said giving himself as brow as he slapped himself on the forhead.just when you think you werent acting all childish the second you not thinking about it you are acting childish, but oh well i guess thats how i am. i wonder how a guy doesnt talk to her without the whole mind game thing. she is very pretty, i think i might want to keep that to myself, just think ot as a compliment not in a lieking way he thought talking to himself as he begin to wonder on what to do next.

"i hope you guys dont mind me asking this, but who has the scroll, im alittle lost on what we are doing at the current moment" he said raising his hand as it seemingly dropped hoping for a answer, he knew it would either come from Mai of the Baal guy sence they seem to know more about the mission then they did. looking around he noticed Masaunes Lion Kyro come from out of no were to give directions at the most part. well all i can really say now is that we are going to see alot of talking, especially with him around he said laughing to himself as he looked into the blue misty like sky.so nice.

[Mai]

Mai sighed softly upset at the fact that she had just been ignored. She crossed her arms over her chest wondering what this man Mario had been thinking, he seemed so intent on something inside his own mind but decided that it wouldnt be nice to pick his brain to find out until she got to know him. Mai was simply happy to be herself again, she hated the changes she went through at those moments when she felt threatened and weak. Her other side would take over, to protect her but right now that side was gone.

Mai stretched hearing Marios question as to where the scroll was, she had intended on saying something since baal brought the fact to her attention but was happy that Mario asked so that she wouldnt come out like a tatle tale. With one arm laying over the top of her head and the other in the air as if she was holding up her hand to ask a question, the hand raised in the air moved and pointed to Masamune .

"He has the scroll in his pocket'' she gave a sweet smile and blushed reolizing that her belly was showing. She quickly moved her hands to the side and dug the tip of her sandle into the ground. 'what is your opinion on these two baal?' she asked baal in his mind so the others wouldnt hear. She bent down and patted shadow on the head, she wasnt the type to get lost but she knew good and well that if she did, he would be able to find her. Mai sighed softly as her thoughts were still connected to Baal, she began to think of her parents. 'I have to get over this somehow, I dont want to risk anyone here. I could never forgive myself if someone here died or got hurt because of me'.

She stood up once more and waited for Masamune to give Mario the scroll so that they could be on their way, she was anxious to get away for a while to clear her mind and focus on something else. She scratched her upper thigh right above where she kept a Kunai straped to her leg as he mind wandered to the thought of bugs. She didnt really like bugs that much, they were the only reason she didnt like to travle in the forest. Then remembering to hide her headband she quickly removed it from her wrist and placed it in a little bag that she carried on her hip. She began to sing a little tune inside her head, one that only Baal would hear. She was starting to get bored of standing there, she was ready to go.

[baal]

(Ok then, let us see how well this Lion knows around this forest shall we)

The one known as Baal narrowed his eyes slightly as he slowly cocked his head to the left, then to the right. Taking in a deep breathe it could be heard through the medical gause that was wrapped around his face. His black hair slightly shimmered, in a wavy pattern as a gentle breeze brushed through. His eyes pierced ahead as he slowly began to stretch about. The words of the one named Masamune rang through his ears as he slowly cocked his head to the right noticing a strange creature. He noticed a lion, a lion who spoke about. He thought that only animals that could be summoned were the types of animals capable of language. He did not care to much though and just sighed out softly shaking his head slightly. Slowly looking down he bent his knees taking care of his position, making sure every part of his body was in perfect condition. He would sigh out softly as he slowly looked down at the ground. It seemed that the ones that would speak the most was perhaps Mai and the bloody lion, but he did not care.

The one that went by the name of Mario rang through his ears as he kept to himself. He would slowly observe this man here and there as he began to wonder why he was so quiet. Then the thought rang through his mind 'who cares, who cares for I myself am silent' Then he finally spoke out, "I hope you guys do not mind me asking this, but who has the scroll, I'm a little lost on what we are doing at the current moment," he sighed out softly wanting this man to read the scroll, wanting this man to read the whole scroll. He knew of Masamune in the past, he heard of stories of him, and for this is why he did not trust this man, but of course he trusted no one, except of course Mai.

"He has the Scroll in his pocket," she spoke out with a sweet smile.

He noticed her tune had changed and somewhat hopped she would not turn again, knowing fully well of what she was capable of. Giving out yet another sigh he just kept to himself, no weapons could truly be shown, or seen as he walked on through. The head of the forest was strong, trees surrounded all around as the road ahead seemed to be perhaps ten feet in length with massive amounts of trees in all directions surrounding the roads up ahead. The road would lead approximatly fifty feet up anead before it would take a dramatic turn to the right heading approximatly forty meters ahead. The Fifty Meter Road had three other roads that would split off into different directions, two on the right, one on the left. The one on the left seemed to proceed approximatly another fifty feet before turning to the left while not other roads was ahead. The first on the right seemed to proceed twenty feet before turning towards the right. The second road along the right side seemed to just stop at the end of the perhaps a thirty foot hike. The forty foot in length of road had two other roads that seem to parry off towards the left. Which one would the lion take. Does the Lion truly know where to go, or would this Lion get them lost.

'What is your opinion of the two Baal,' Mai thought out towards Baal. A simple response coming from him was just a sudden shrug of the shoulders. He really did not think to much of it, other then that he just did not care. If they were to betray them, then it was destiny, if they were to show true friendship then let it shall be. The young warrior would slowly stop as he would turn towards the Silver Fox, giving it a gentle tap. His senses though were all around, he waited paitently for this place to appear. The stories of this forest were awkward as well as sinister. Some consisted of those who would become lost deep within this forest of hell, growing more and more insane each passing minute. Then Baal began to think, began to remember of hearing those who had dissapeared in this very foret, names rang through his head as he thought of the wolves that patrolled the forest, the giant roaches that patrolled, as well as those who felt they knew of this place, feeling as if they could pry against the weak and fragile. He did not care though, he was not weak, and there was only one thing he had in his mind. He wanted to complete this pathetic mission

[Mario Uchiha]

((sorry if this post isnt going to be Super long, but i just want to get this thread somewere because were going to end up being in the forest forever<(^_^<)~ ))

Mario continued to walk throughout the forest as he looked back at Mai who told him that the Scroll was in Masamunes Pocket.oh, so masamune has the scroll, i thought the Baal guy might have it he thought rubbing his head as he looked back at Mai and smiled."Thank you, and its nice to meet you too Mai" he said remembering he hadnt introduced herself.well i guess we all have our moments he said refering to how when Mai lifted her arm her Belly was showing. ver cute of her he thought smiling to himself as he he reached into his pocket and pulled out a kunai as he begain to swing it around in circles abit as he continued walking noticing everything go to a stop. oh b oy, it seems that someone has abit of a problem with us, hopefully this wont come back down on us to hard, i mean it would be kind dumb to just start something over stupid, hopefully we are stopping for a.. he thought to himself putting his thoughts to a hold as he noticed the three path ways ahead of him.Kyro say he can get through and now i guess you say he has been put up to the challenge.

he thought to himself nodding his head as he noticed why everyone had stop. looking back a he noticed a arkward expression on his face, although it wasnt visable she was thinking just as much as he was.

i guess we all have alot of things on our mind huh, but i hoped my first A rank mission would be fun but all we have been doing sence we have gotten here is spent most of our time in the forest of hell he thought to himself as he picked up a small wood chip and begain to start srapping it with with his kunai as he tried to think of something to do. Baal isnt a talkative guy as has to be talked through by mind reading, i really cant comment on that but if he starts acting all Bitchy or what ever he said looking at him. well thats just going to have to be a problem, the last thing we would want is people not trusting anyone or love getting in the way, but i have faith in everyone in our team, we should do great on this mission. first with Baal and Mai having a strong connection over the mind that could help us if we get into a ambush like situation, and for they seemed strong, i have no dought that they are weak, i just want to know if they are loyal to the mist

he thought to himself as he looked at Mai and then back at Masamune. then theirs i and Masamune, we share and strong bond against each other, even if we cant read minds we go back to when we were kids and our strengths have a similar connection, and with his strong Byukugan and my Sharigan we wont have problem seeking through enemies, and with me being in a area of water, well you could say that will be the time were i will come to live up to my name, but their wont be any point in mentioning it. she seemes to have the power of a mind reader, and well Baal, we wont know anything till we fight probrably he thought to himself.

"well come on you guys, im getting bored, were waisting to much time in the forest, we need to get on with this crap, i came here to get some action along with some kind of respect for myself, and i need to see well i have gotten in the past years, i havent beeen on a mission in..." he said slowing down as he nodded his head looking back at Mai to maby try to start a conversation to get things from being so quiet."so how was your day" he said smiling at her. he made sure that he didnt give a smile showing that he wanted to be with her cause thet would only cause problem, he only wanted to be friends with them all, even if some of them couldnt talk.

((sorry for long post but i got to into it, and plus none of you were on LOL ;D and Masamune said i could post.))

[kalo]

Masamune would look back at Mario and Mai. Right now, he could careless about Baal. He hadn't been very helpful, or at least tell his name. It was starting to get annoying. But obviously the man was a mute so Masamune couldn't get angry. He stretched himself out and then looked at Mai who seemed to be somewhat cheerful at least. He tilted his head and shot an "Okay" look at her. He would then turn to Mario and open his mouth to speak, but Kyro would interupt. His booming voice echoed in Masamune's head like it always did. "Ey, How can you try to put moves on the mute's girl right in front of him? Uchiha's are so damn dirty.. And Ugly, Not to mention. The Lion would growl shaking its head.

"Shutup Kyro. Lets Go." Masamune would coo shaking his head lightly. Kyro made a sort of shrugging movement and then stood up. He walked towards the entrance of the forest. "Hmm.. Uhh.. Wrong entrance! Hehe My bad! Follow me!" Kyro wouldn't walk in the entrance they had been standing in front of, but turn right and walk next to the gate that seperated the forest and the Village. Masamune would follow and then signal for the others to follow as well. Masamune started to fiddle a bit with his gloves a bit. Hmm.. Guess I should get to know them a little better. I'd prefer no surprised when we're on our way. Masamune thought to himself.

Finally Kyro would come to a halt, in front of a much wider entrance to the forest. And it also looked less complicated. "This is the easier route. It has much more nasties along the way though so be on your guard! But that shouldn't be a problem for you "ninja" right?" The Lion would joke. He would then proceed through the forest taking the first path that was dead ahead. 50 meters ahead it would make a right, then 60 more meters and then a sharp left. From there they needed to proceed straight for the rest of the way, which would be about a mile before they reached the Capitol. Kyro lead the way through the forest. Masamune whipped out the Lion Heart from his back and spinned it in his hands. If he needed to get it dirty with some roach guts then so be it. He would glance over his shoulder. And give them a small and faint smirk.

"Don't go chicken wuss on me. Be on your toes. So, Any special abilities I should know about before its too late? I don't want any surprises here."

He would say to them in a calm voice. Kyro would continue to lead down the 50 meter route in front of them.

(Sorry for the lateness. Heero, I'll allow you to control the monsters and whatnot ^^)

[Mai]

Mai blushed and giggled at the thought of someone thinking that she was Baals girl. She thought of correcting them and letting them know that her and Baal were simply old friends, but decided not to finding that it would be funny to allow them to think such a thing. She gave a playful wink to Baal and spoke aloud to the lion in a teasing manner ''yes lets not upset my man'' she knew Baal would probably get her for the comment but it cheered her up a bit more for the meantime.

She began to follow behind them hearing Mario's question "so how was your day" he had asked. She sighed softly feeling the sadness come once again as she tought of her day. She didnt want to just come out and say 'oh my parents were blown apart this morning so i went all crazy but im better now' no that wouldnt be good to edmit, but she didnt want to be rude and ignore him either so she simply gave him a soft smile.

Hearing Masamune's question, she was somewhat suprised that he was trying to find out about them. Now she wondered if it was for good or bad purposes that he wanted to knw, was he just trying to put on a front and act like he was loyal to the mist village so that he could remove them as a threat? or perhaps was he doing it for other reasons. There was truely only one way to find out for sure. 'hey baal ill be back' she said softly in baals mind then cut of the connection beween them.

She turned her attention then onto Masamune, she wasnt about to let them know anything of her abilities unil she was truely sure if she could trust them. She quickly made the sighns of the snake and ram before masamune would even know what was going on. Soon he would feel as if he was being watched, his brain would tingle slightly and the feeling of not being alone inside of himself would overwhelm him.

Mai began to search keeping her own thoughts quiet, though he would be able to hear soft whispers of a woman but not to the point of beng able to make out what she was saying. After a long moment he would hear Mai's loud giggle inside of his head as she would start talking to Mario aloud. She wondering how long it would take masamune to find out she had just conected their minds. ''So how was your day'' She asked Mario cheerfully as yet another happy giggle would fill Masamunes head.

Mai was capeable of much more then reading minds though, her ability to control ones body and speach was vary advanced for her age, she could make someone do and say things using them like her own little puppet. The scary part of mais ability to controll though was that for the other person, they would be totally aware and helpless of what was going on. She had other talents as well, though to play with someones mind was truely her fave.

The idea of makeing someone belive that they were being tortured had striked mais iterest when she found out that she had the ability. Though the downside was that mai had to of experianced the pain before makeing someone else belive that it was happening to them. Truth be told mai had yet to go through something that would make her feel it was worth trying to put someone else through. True Baal had put her through hell and back in their training, but she didnt think that it was enough to even bother with using the ability yet. She was waiting for the perfect thing.

[baal]

(Two things, one I am the GM so you allowing me to control something is a right, since I am leading you guys through a mission. Second, do not make up your own map, follow what I give you guys, ok.)

"Well come on you guys, im getting bored, were waisting to much time in the forest. We need to get on with this crap. I came here to get some action along with some kind of respect for myself, and I need to see well I have gotten in the past years, I havent beeen on a mission in..."

The words somewhat rang in the ears of Baal as he somewhat looked down in somewhat of a confused look, but not really confused. They walked on as the other carrired on with their own conversations. It was an odd thing to him, to see how people reacted, talking among themselves without saying anything truly important, though to Baal nothing was to important really, one's past, one's future, one's goals and family, he really just did not care.

"Ey, How can you try to put moves on the mute's girl right in front of him? Uchiha's are so damn dirty.. And Ugly, Not to mention. The Lion would growl shaking its head. Was the next thing he heard as he suddenly stopped, for not only a second hearing the remark of Mai. Tilting his head some he slowly began to pop his upper back slightly showing a somewhat discomfort, not really wishing for any true conversation to be brought about among Mai and Baal. He just sighed out softly and continued to walk on. They were being led by the Lion as they walked through the first section, walking through the fifty before turning a right, there they would see the forty foot road, as they would follow the Lion taking the imediate left. There, they would notice that there were no other roads, no other way to move except the other way to go. Now there was only one Road they coul take which was at the end of forty foot road that would lead towards the Left, or they could just turn back around and take the other roads about. If they decided to take the other road to the left they would find themselves in a One hundred foot path, with three passages heading towards the left, and four heading to the right. Which one would choose, which one would go.

The one known as Baal would slowly look down and smile softly shaking his head slightly as he gave out a small nod. "Like the back of your hand," he suddenly spoke out in a small, low tone, somewhat barely audible, but could clearly be heard. His voice was somewhat of a british like tone, soft, noble in a sense, as he walked back away. He softly sighed giving out a small nod hearing the last thoughts of Mai as she told him she would be back. He slowly stretched outwards as he smiled some, somewhat happy he could have his own thoughts to himself. He truly did not mind though for he really did not think to much, outloud, but his thoughts were his own. Hearing the words of Mai he slowly turned towards Mai and Mario somewhat shrugging it off as he turned back waiting to see what the lion would do, waiting to see who would come about. The forest had an eerie feeling, a wind had changed, but nothing had occured. All was silent, and dead, not even the birds began to chirp within this wonderous land.

Whatever would happen, how everyone would react, Baal was ready, though something was bothering him, why is it that Masamune has not given Mario the scroll. Baal really did not wish to speak, but if he had to tell what the mission was about, it seemed that Baal would have to. He would just stay in the back at this time, somewhat in front of Mario and Mai, listening to everything around, waiting paitently.

[kalo]

Masamune had stopped dead in his tracks behind Kyro. "Damnit.. These tree's change everytime." He would say. He would then look over his shoulder at the mute. "Ey, Shutup before I bite your balls off! Your so smug, you go ahead and get yourself out of here then. I'm gonna take a nap. The Lion would growl at the man as if to attack at him. But after the statement he would lie on the ground. Masamune would shake his head at the Lion. "So Lazy... Okay then Oh mighty silent one. Get us out to the capital." The Blonde hyuuga would coo to the man, crossing his arms and then leaning up against a tree.

Believing no one would answer his question he had just forgot about it. But soon he heard Mai's giggles in his head. At first he was a bit overwhelmed. Then he realized the clan jutsu. This clan was the reason he never got cocky in battle and always kept on his toes. So his mind, movements or brain waves wouldn't be easy to tap into at all. Your a Yamanaku..? Hmph. The ability to tap in a person's brain waves. Don't think it'll be so easy next time. He would think, knowing the girl would be able to hear it. His eyes would trail over to her, staring with emotionless eyes anazlying the girl's figure and whatnot. Masamune did his fair share of research on the other clans. This Yamanaku jutsu could only read his first thought. So he would keep all the personal things and whatnot in the back of his head.

Masamune didn't know what else to think to the girl or anything he wanted to ask her so he would allow his meditation to take him, knowing it would probably take a while before they actually knew where to go again. Kyro was already knocked out, he had found himself a high tree to go to sleep in. Masamune's training had him doing a blank mind over and over again, so it was pretty easy to do so and block Mai from recieving any of his thoughts. Though her giggles would still remain in his head, he would eventually get used to them and just let her giggle, paying no mind to them at all.

As he stood there, leaned up against a tree, eyes closed, arms folded across his chest in meditation he would finally remember Mario was completely clueless about things. That was probably another reason he was acting this way. Hmm.. Mario.. Would be the only thought Mai would recieve and then some following thoughts about taking the scroll out his pocket and tossing it to Mario. He would of course grab it and then of course toss it up towards Mario's way. With that he would return to his meditation but this time decided to talk to Mai through thought again. You probably already know my bloodline then? If You haven't noticed I have white eyes. I'm a Hyuuga. I won't tell you Mario's bloodline however. I don't think he'll appreciate me telling somebody I have yet to grow to trust. Well with that said, Are You done? I'd prefer to get to my meditation without your giggles even though I've grown used to them.

Finally the man would take notice to the eerie silence. Looks like the cockroaches found us.. Or maybe something else..

[Mario Uchiha]

Mario Shrugged his shoulders as it seemed as if everyone was acting all obvious.this is getting childish, i mean if everyone has something to say that is on their minds then they need to say in head up he said noticing her doing the hands seals to her technique.hmmm, i guess she caught Masamune off guard. he said silently to himself as he looked down at the ground and then back up at Mai."Hmph, pretty funny Mai but i thought think thats nesasary, i thinks thats abit invading privacy" he said smirking at her. thats a pretty nice trick, but i wouldnt want her looking through my mind. so if she looks at me ill just clear all my thoughts like i was told to do."but on the real you should stop, your waisting to much chakra on that technique, if someone was to atack us you would be to focused on reading other peoples mind" he said to her with a i dont care look."we should get serious although everythings abit boring, i understand you but if we keep using techniques and such were just going to give ourselves away right. talking to Baal is a whole different situation but other than that you should lay low for awhile" he said shrugging his shoulders as he looked at Masamune.

we got to stop all this nonsence even if its boring, we dont want any conflicts, i already got a feeling that they are doughting us. she wouldnt just read his mind for no reason at all

he thought to himself as he looked at her."but to answer the question that i ask you, my day was good, i just got through messing with Two genin. i guess i was bored so i thought i try to do something before i came down here. i thought this might be fun, but everyone keeps being all quiet" he said looking towards Baal."accept him, sence hes mute" he said to her as he looked at Kyro who was getting annoying."look, keep your head to the ground, im not trying to holler at anyone. their nothing wrong with getting your team mate, i think i know what i am doing" he said looking at the Lazy lion not wishing he came, he was begging toget on his nerves." so how was your day" he said asking again slowly for Kyro. well i guess we will be here for awhile, you might as well call this just a regular day of of just walking around untill something happens, but the last thin i would want to happen is a ambush, i should be careful what i ask for, even if we were all strong, it was just bring us down abit. but we should have nothing to worry about sence we are all strong and talented ninjas."excuse my rudeness Mai, i guess i got abit off" he said to her as he held his head noticing what he said wasnt all to friendly as he got out his Kunai throwing it into a tree as he took out another one playing with it."i guess i got alittle mad because everythings sooo boring" he said apoligizing to everyone. i know Baals probrably going to say something topwards me so i might as well get ready.

he thought to himself as he looked at masamune."weres the Scroll i need it" he said to him as he looked into the Sky, and then back at Baals, i wonder what he is thinking, people who dont talk usually think alot.

[👺 Usiel]

(Hmm, well ok first I just want to say that Baal can not lead you guys through the Maze, or else you want Baal to lead you through every dead end, trap and etc, not to mention probably end up at the beginning of the Forest. Just because I know how to get through does not mean that I am going to lead you guys through with my character. Second let me ask you something, Mario, Masamune did not speak to her, he said that through his mind, so unless Masamune knows a mind thing like Mai does, then Mario you would not have heard anything. Second, I want to ask you something. During your RP life have you ever met a member of a Yamanaka Clan, has this member even used that type of Jutsu on you, or does your character even know what the Jutsu does. Stop godmodding both of you, now if you really want Baal to lead you through, then he will.)

[kalo]

(Heero I'm not godmodding >.< I know Baal can't lead us through. I did that on purpose because thats How Kyro's personality is. And also, don't forget over the time skip they have been training with each other and with various types of ninja. different Clans, Bloodlimits and whatnot. But yeah Mario re-read Mai's post. Perhaps she should put the jutsu she used down to avoid anymore confusion then? But I'll state what clans and bloodlimits Masamune would know about then to avoid any other further confusion.))

[Mai]

Mai sighed softly senseing him trying to block her. All was well and good though she got what she wanted. She crossed her arms over her chest and broke the connection after hearing masamunes question to her. ''I do not connect myself to you because I want to sit and chat with you, to be honest I would much rather stay out of your head. But if you think that you will prevent me next time then guess again. How you know of my Jutsu is a very interesting question, since the only others that used it were my parents and they just happened to be murdered this morning.'' She took a step twards him as he sat in the tree ''If you do not want me to pick your brain, then be more open and not so suspicious. The Mist village is my home, the people who live there saved me when I was a baby and I will not let a traitor to the leaf do the same to the mist. You better know where your loyalties lie, the last thing you want to do is piss off the mist village.'' She began to walk back up the path to pick a new one. ''And if your going to give up so easy on finding our way out of here after you said you could, then I really dont trust your word right now. Dont piss me off and we will all get along''

It was obvious that Mai was starting to get back to her other self, but fortunately she was saying in a happy medium. ''and dont worry of my abilities and chakra, ive used this jutsu almost all of my life, i know what im doing, i could do it in my sleep'' When she walke up the path she decided to take the road twards the left. She didnt care if anyone woud follow her, she didnt have time for such childish games of getting upset because things wernt going someones way. People make mistakes, it happens, its life.

Shadow followed closely behind Mai sniffing the ground every now and then and then running to catch up. She was ready to get out of this place and go to he land of fire. She didnt connect herself to Baal again giving him some free time to himself, besides she was to angry with the idea that her parents killer could be closer then she thought. Takeing her Kunai from her thigh she began to cut the trees to mark where they had been so that they wouldnt get even more lost then they already were. She didnt want to lead the way, but somene had to.
