"Thanks for having my back in there with the Kazekage, Suro. Already Sand is starting to look better than Leaf." Walking beside his new companion and technically, new teammate, Angel had his low, carrying his first friend in this entire world, a pet rabbit named Spunky. Spunky was watching ahead attentively, as if afraid his red haired friend would run into a brick wall. Angel had a smile pasted on his face as he scanned over Suro's eyes. His green eyes shone ever so gracefully in the bright Kaze no Kuni sunlight. The boy would look back ahead of them as they walked. There were many people out today, as there were any other day for the Sand Village was definitely around the same size as the Leaf Village. The boy's headband was tied around his left forearm tight. He was proud to be a shinobi of Sand now, and he'd make sure to become and legend; serve his country well.

"Mr.Kazekage got a little pissed didn't he?" Angel would ask chuckling a bit as he'd have a brief flashback back at the Kage's Tower. Sure, Angel had surely gotten the little 'signal' the kage tried to give him. But for what..? Wouldn't it be "Un-Kage-Like" if he'd tried to hit on one of his fellow troops? And plus, Asko didn't look too pleased about the Kage at all, nor about the fact that he wanted to be alone with her. A playful smirk, and Angel would turn a corner and lead his friend into a bar, knowing she would follow him in, right? Luckily there weren't many people in here at the moment, he guessed this was a night time hang out spot. He could find a pretty good table with ease and sit down. Letting out a slight sigh, the boy would slump back in his seat, Spunky would have already hopped on the table and made himself comfortable.

"Hm.. Hey! You know the Chuunin exams are coming up..?" His eyes would turn back over the Suro, awaiting her response..

EDIT: Asko posts first please.

[The Asko]

"Thanks for having my back in there with the Kazekage, Suro. Already Sand is starting to look better than Leaf."

"Hm? Oh, it was no problem..." she replied as she strolled at a steady pace down the sandy street of Sunagakure. Inddeed the sun shown down warmly on the village today, a bit warmer than usual at that. No matter how long one called this desert home one could not force themself to get used to the draining heat. So now she could not really imagine how her new teammate, a former Konohagakure ninja could stand it like this, let alone his rabbit, or whatever that was.

Her attention was pulled away from her negative thoughts and brought back to where they were walking as she was asked something that she was already aware of, but never the less intriguing. "That man was not the Kage that I expected you to meet." she said folding her arms in front of her. "I have no earthly idea who that was, or how the hell he got that position." She frowned and sighed, looking over at the buildings as she realized that he was walking in the direction of one of the pubs in the area.

Suro didn't think that he had purposefully headed in this direction until he turned and walked into one of the bars in this part of town. She paused for a moment before following him in and taking a seat across from him.

"Hm.. Hey! You know the Chuunin exams are coming up..?"

Suro nodded slightly, "Yes, I've heard of it, and since considered entering. No news on where it is to be yet though."

[kalo]

(Last position filled by Heero I think xD)

"Yes, I've heard of it, and since considered entering. No news on where it is to be yet though."

"Oh.." The boy was indeed a bit disappointed that she didn't know much about it. She knew just as much as he knew to be exact. The only thing anyone knew is that they were coming up. No further information had been released yet; No Date, No Location; Not even any rules! But at least they'd released the requirements in order to get in the exams. Angel always had dreams about fighting other crazy ass Genin with crazy ass skills. Wouldn't it be the ultimate adventure? Also another way to test his skills out. Could he hold his own in battle? "Man.. Can't wait... I should get stronger.. Or else.." The boy would cut himself short of that sentence. He didn't want to go into yet another flash back of his horrible past. And then, the sounds of weeping would fill his ears. His head would turn to the right to see three people. Two guys, and a crying woman. One of the guys were kneeled down in front of the woman, trying to comfort and calm her.

The other looked very sad, just standing over them and shaking his head. He'd soon enough make his way across to where the Bartender stood. "Wonder whats up over there..?" He would coo to Suro across the table from him. Surely it would catch her attention also. Call him nosey? Or maybe just curiousity. Angel would turn back around to Suro and then shrug. It was best to stay out of it, right? Eventually the man who'd made his way to the bar, would have walked near their table with a stack of papers. And well, it was either Angel's curiousity or his stupidness that'd make him open up his mouth. "Yo, whats that?" The man would turn around. He was a relatively old man, with gray hair and wrinkles to cover his slender face. He was short and rather stubby also. His face looked very sad. Spunky would look up at him with his beady bright eyes.

"O-Oh.. This? T-This is just some mission posters I need to put up a-around the village... A M-Monster.. has been on a rampage lately.. Been killing off a lot and kidnapping. It killed her husband and son when they were out looking for a rare wild flower to sale.. My brother and newphew.." The man would break down after the explanation, he'd put a flier down on their table, and then waddle off some place. Angel would tilt his head slightly to look at the flier. "Giant Desert Snake..? The Hell..?" Angel would look back up at Suro, pretty much asking for her input. The thought of a snake was kind of funny though. His eyebrows would move up slightly as he scanned over her face. This looked like a pretty good mission to kick things off for them..

[The Asko]

After saying her bit about the Chuunin exams and hearing Angel's return of disappointment at her lack of knowledge, Suro would simply yawn some, still a bit tired, and close her eyes to rest them. The silence at the table was interrupted though as some woman, older than the two of them, brust out in tears. Suro's eyes opened again and looked over at the small group that was gathering with a frown.

"Wonder whats up over there..?"

Suro didn't look over at Angel as she answered, but instead continued to survey the seen. "God only knows..." Before Suro could ask exactly what the deal was of the passer-by, Angel hastily got to him first.

His story was a sad one, but a giant snake? Suro still couldn't help but cringe at hearing about the death of her family, regardless of the cause. Honestly, she couldn't relate, family was something always far from her mind, they could take care of themselves.

"Giant Desert Snake..? The Hell..?"

Suro would look down at the paper as well, still not moving from her comfortable leaned back position. She scanned over it, before looking up at Angel. "This sounds a bit... odd to say the least..."

[kalo]

"This sounds a bit... odd to say the least..."

A smirk would stretch across his face as he finished scanning the mission briefing. "Been taking Sand Shinobi too, huh?" His smirk would stretch into a bright smile. "Messin' with Sand strongholds..? He would ask with a nice chuckle to go along. His smile would then stretch into a grin, and then his green eyes would turn over onto Suro once again, who'd taken it upon herself to get comfortable. "I say we put this 'monster' to the test. It has been messing with Sand. Lets bring its head back on a silver plate." Was it cockyness? No just confidence. But perhaps he should slow down a bit before his 'confidence' got the best of him and lead him to his death. The boy simply just wasn't thinking about that at the moment. This was a shining moment for him. An opportunity had come for him to show everyone the might of the Uchiha Clan; let alone Angel Uchiha.

Spunky had grabbed its ears, not wanting to hear this of course. He'd always been a cowardly rabbit, but nonetheless had always stuck by Angel through the good and bad. Spunky was the type to rather lie around and eat all day then get work done. Angel's eyes briefly went to Spunky, he'd snicker a bit and then turn back over to Suro. "I know you're with me, right, Suro..?" He would ask her, his smirk would remain stretched across his bright face...

[The Asko]

Suro glanced up to him as he made mention that Sand ninja had been taken as well as civilians. She caught his eye looking over at her before he looked down at the rabbit which was occupying the table. The fur covered creature seemed less "enthusiastic" than Angel, which amused Suro a bit. "Hmm... snakes and rabbit aren't known to get along too well are they? Well that's no good." she said as she looked down at the rabbit.

"I think we may have to teach this big lizard some respect." Suro smiled a bit jokingly before looking over at Angel once again. "Looks like we're going to kill a snake..." she said with a bit less enthusiasm than he, but smiling all the same. Suro then stretches and sat up straight in her chair, yawning a bit.

[kalo]

His grin remained pasted on his face. This mission seemed like it was a little too good to be true! "Hmm... snakes and rabbit aren't known to get along too well are they? Well that's no good." Angel would chuckle a bit as he'd witness Suro teasing Spunky a bit. Angel was guilty was of that on numerous of occasions, this being one of them to say the least. "Don't worry, Spunk. We won't let you get eaten by the big, scaaweey desert snake! Just watch out for those huge fangs, eh?" Spunky would make a scratching movement towards Angel, and glare at him with a grimacing look.

"I think we may have to teach this big lizard some respect.""Looks like we're going to kill a snake..."

This made Angel a little too excited, as the boy would stand up immediately out of his chair while in the process, knocking his knees up against the table. His eyes would go from bright, and burning of an anxious fire, to 'Ah.. Weak'. And now he'd be bouncing around muttering curse words and holding his knee. Putting it back down to the ground he'd pant a bit, and then look back over to Suro; flashing her a smile. That was un-ninja like, right? And the boy expected to kill a snake? Call him crazy, but yes. Thats exactly what he was thinking now. Mixed in his own thoughts he'd finally take notice to all of the eyes on him in the bar. "Ahem.. Well then.. Sir!" His bright green eyes would turn from its goofyness, to his determination and serious mode. The red haired Uchiha would turn over to the man with the fliers. "We'll kill your snake for you! Then maybe later you can reward us by making some reptile soup!" The 16 year old would snicker a bit. "Man, that was corny.. Oh well, shall we Suro? Lets go Spunky!" The boy would make a quick dash to the table and grab the rabbit by his tiny little leg, pulling him along they'd exit out the bar, where'd Angel would examine the flier a bit more while waiting for Suro.

After their departure from the bar, the woman would make her way over to where Suro would sit. "Don't worry honey.. We'll always keep you both, in our memories.." A little doubtful of the two, obviously they'd be after the show Angel would put on. The woman would break off of the sentence, bursting into tears again and returning to her spot..

[The Asko]

"Don't worry, Spunk. We won't let you get eaten by the big, scaaweey desert snake! Just watch out for those huge fangs, eh?"

Suro laughed quietly at his comment, which was quite amusing. She looked over at Angel, who appeared "overwhelmed" with excitment of walking out under the hot sun and killing a giant reptile. Suro, on the other hand, continued to sit there a bit unphased. She still doubted the truth in this whole charade. But rather than putting Angel down and telling him it was all a tall tale, she let him have his fun even to the point of smashing his leg against the table.

He played it off pretty well, and then began to inform the man who had spoken to them that he would accept the challenge. This was good and all until he finished with his little line about "reptile soup" to which Suro cringed in digust. Next thing she knew he was out the door, most likely waiting outside. Suro, not one to rush things stood up slowly, glanced around, and was about to leave when the lady who had lost her family approached her.

"Don't worry honey.. We'll always keep you both, in our memories.."

Suro stared at her for a second, long enough to see her burst into tears. As the lady walked off Suro simply shook her head slightly. "Well, that's real morbid... thanks for the encouragement though." she said sarcastically to the other people watching in the bar. She began to head for the door before stopping and looking back at them.

"As my friend said, we'll be back in a couple days for some snake soup, be ready." With that said she chuckled a bit and walked out the door, squinting slightly in the sun and looking over at Angel.

[👺 Usiel]

Don't think of my intro as arrogant please lol. I just thought it would look kind of cool. I rarely do this with my own characters. Theme of Arrival

The sandy air, the warm feel of the high son beating down. What a wonderful feel this could be. The feel of being alive, the feel of accomplishing great things, the feel of doing so many wonders throughout the world. It was a magnificent thing to be around, working with those within the village. There was a rumor roaming around that a snake was going about killing off families. There was a rumor that a ninja of Leaf, now Sand Ninja and another Sand Ninja were pursuing in this mission. Interesting how the roads change, how everyone would move about doing their business without the care of the world. It was something that Heero did not quite understand. He trusted, her cared, but there were some things that he just did not wish to speak of. He would see how these would work about. Perhaps they would create a team like no other, a team of greatness, of understanding. 'Gah it has been years since the last time I was on a team,' Heero thought to himself as he noticed a glimmer down along the roads. His feet continued to stay planted along the flying Nimbus, his wondrous cloud of sand as he continued to fly through the sky.

That was when he saw those that he would guess perhaps be the new team mates, if they permitted it of course. Hands outwards along his sides, slanted against the flying cloud of sand he just smiled within his armor, within the helmet that protected his head and face as he quickly jumped off letting the chakra holding the sand together slowly fly off. Falling down to the ground his hand quickly grabbed against the hilt of his massive blade as the ground rushed upwards in its magnificent brilliance as the young warrior slammed down taking a quick knee. The sand rushed upwards in all directions but nothing to serious to get into anyone's eyes or distort vision.

The Young warrior slowly stood as he took in a natural like stance, having his feet shoulder width apart as he released the handle of his massive blade. Looking forward he would notice the two, the young woman and young man ahead of him from behind if they did not turn around by then. Placing his feet together he would stand there in his Shogan Like Armor, face, eyes covered. Nothing could be seen within as the young warrior placed his feet together giving out a little bow placing his hands together. "Hello," he said calmly speaking in a soft like tone. "My name is Heero Kazume, son of Kiyo Kazume, and Anima Kazime," he continued in his calm tone, a tone of friendship, of knowledge and wisdom. "I come to help in any way possible. I wish to accompany both of you on this grand Mission." he finished standing up right moving his right foot sliding it across the desert sand as he watched the two. After a brief moment he would slowly move his hand upwards. The armor, the helm along his head slowly began to slide off, disapating into the sand that made up the very armor. There he stood calmly with a small smile along his face as the mask would seep off along the sides.

Standing there was the young man, a young warrior with all equipment that he would need. His sword, his secondaries, and nothing else. He gave another little bow as the black goggles covered his eyes, his black hair was slightly spiked as it was brushed neatly back. "So tell me, if I am wasting my time, let me know and I shall let you go," he said with the same warm like smile greeting the members in front of him as his hands gently brushed up taking hold of his goggles sliding them upwards lightly over his headband that was neatly tied back long his forehead. Showing that he was indeed Sand.

[kalo]

Finally he'd finish re-reading the flier, and then shove it lightly in his pockets. Closing his eyes for a second, his smirk would never fade from his face. Pretty much, he'd listen to the wind blow. His red hair would also blow along, more rapidly than usual. Slowly opening his eyes he'd look to his right and see Suro coming to his side. His face was a curious one. He'd sort of give her a 'What-took-you-so-long?' kind of look. A slight chuckle he'd shrug and then look back in front of him towards the direction they needed to travel in. "The flier said the South Eastern section of the Land of Wind. I think if we keep traveling towards there, we'll eventually reach a 'pit stop', you know what I mean..?" He'd briefly explain to his companion. Spunky would have already fixed himself up on the top of the boy's head, his beady eyes would be closed and resting for the moment. Angel would take a few steps forward until he'd be halted by another figure coming from above them.. Wait.. From above?

Maybe he was on top of the roof waiting for them to come out? But then again perhaps he was flying? Of course that was just apart of Angel's wild imagination. Surely there wasn't a jutsu that allowed flight.. Was there? The male's landing would make the ground shake slightly, but obviously it was enough to make Spunky jump and fall straight off of his friend's head. Angel himself jumped back a few inches, moving his hand quickly out of pure reflexes down to his katana hilt. He was pretty sure Suro would be ready for attack also, but that wasn't his focus at the moment. His eyes would narrow slightly as he'd watch the figure. "What the..." The man was covered in Sand..? The boy would make a glance back at Suro, as if she knew the answer. And the girl probably did also, but it wasn't wise for him to keep his eyes on her. During battle, his focus needed to be on his enemy, unless in special occasions of course. But then, the taller and obviously much older male would speak.

"Hello," My name is Heero Kazume, son of Kiyo Kazume, and Anima Kazume," "I come to help in any way possible. I wish to accompany both of you on this grand Mission."

Well that cleared things up. This guy was famous! Angel didn't know much about him, but he did hear some rumors and stories about him in his two months as a Leaf Shinobi. Obviously he didn't make appearances to just anyone, or at least that was one of the rumors. "Heero Kazume.. The Oh So 'Great Sannin of Sand'." He'd say that sentence with a slight chuckle. He'd look back at Suro once more and then back at the newcomer. "This is a suprise, I can't lie." Shrugging, the boy would place his hands by his side again and go back into a relaxed position.

"So tell me, if I am wasting my time, let me know and I shall let you go,"

The Uchiha would shake his head. He'd look over his shoulder back at his comrade with a smirk. "If this snake is really the talk of the town, we'll probably need some some help, right..?" He'd turn back around to Heero and then shake his nod. Angel wasn't really like all of the other shinobi around here, he didn't 'bow in respect' to everything he ate or saw. He'd rather just show his respect by action, or merely letting them know they're cool with him. Like Suro, she surely understood. She was the most laid back person Angel had ever spoken to. His bright green eyes would shine in the hot sun, and yet he still hadn't noticed the heat.

"Well I'm Angel Uchiha.. I'd prefer to keep my whole life story to myself, if ya don't mind..?" A joking remark, and yet he was serious at the same. Angel wasn't one to go around telling people about his past and all. He wasn't exactly that proud of it. Bending down, he'd grab his friend by his ears and then pull him up onto his shoulder. "This here is my pal, Spunky. He's not that reliable--" Spunky would scratch at Angel's face angrily. The boy would laugh a bit before continuing on. "Joking, Spunk.. He's cool. Does a lot of unexpected things and comes through a lot. This is.." He'd turn his body half way to Suro, holding his hand out partially to her, awaiting perhaps her response or maybe Heero..

[The Asko]

"The flier said the South Eastern section of the Land of Wind. I think if we keep traveling towards there, we'll eventually reach a 'pit stop', you know what I mean..?"

Suro chuckled a bit as she walked along beside Angel, some sand being kicked up into the wind by her feet as she went. "Pit stop? We'll be lucky to find water. All this country is, is one supersized sandbox. She laughed a bit before seeing his expression change from his casual face to something... a bit surprised of expressions.

Out of instinct and reaction, Suro followed his gaze to catch eye of what had stopped Angel in his tracks. She saw it as well, pausing and staring as the tall man landed in front of them in a crouched position, and then stood up. Unlike Angel, though, Suro had not jumped back. Rather Suro stood her ground, bringing her left hand to her right side to grasp her sword as she heard the small rabbit hit the sand only a few inches behind her.

"Hello," My name is Heero Kazume, son of Kiyo Kazume, and Anima Kazume," "I come to help in any way possible. I wish to accompany both of you on this grand Mission."

Suro immediately recognized the name. Let's just say he wasn't an unknown character. Suro nodded slightly to his introduction as Angel started talking, obviously impressed greatly with the entrance. Suro kept her silence for a momnt, having released the handle of her sword as soon as the introduction had reached her ears.

"If this snake is really the talk of the town, we'll probably need some some help, right..?"

Suro simply nodded slightly, not really agreeing vocally, but simply showing consent. In all matters she held no care if Heero wished to come along. From the rumors about the creature another ninja would just be advantageous. Suro was pulled away from her thoughts though as she found it was her turn to speak. "This is Han Urufu Suro, prefer Suro for short though, less time consuming to say." she said as she extended a hand in a friendly manner.

[👺 Usiel]

Heero stood there calmly hearing their words. It had seemed somewhat odd how this young man was speaking to him. It did not matter however what was important was the mission at hand. Giving out a little nod hearing the words of the young man ahead he just took in each little word. "This is a suprise, I can't lie." Said the young lad, who was perhaps the same age of Heero himself.

Heero began to wonder, began to think to himself, pondering what he had meant with the previous statements such as the Heero Kazume.. The Oh So 'Great Sannin of Sand statement. Shaking his head lightly he just let it leave his mind as if it was nothing at all.

"If this snake is really the talk of the town, we'll probably need some some help, right..?" the young man continued as Heero gave out a little nod.

“Indeed,” he answered calmly agreeing quietly seeing that they perhaps did need Heero here.

Heero watched carefully as he noticed the young lad taking hold of the little companion. "This here is my pal, Spunky. He's not that reliable--" the young lad would say as Heero’s eyes would widen greatly seeing how the creature would scratch as the young lad greatly.

‘Wow this is odd,’ Heero thought to himself.

"This here is my pal, Spunky. He's not that reliable--"

Heero nodded lightly as he noticed the hand coming up. He slowly turned towards the young woman giving out a little nod noticing she was younger then Heero as well.

"This is Han Urufu Suro, prefer Suro for short though, less time consuming to say." the young woman spoke out as she extended a hand in a friendly manner.

Heero slowly took a few steps forward towards Suro as he extended out his own hand. He would shake her hand quickly, and then he would try to do the same towards Angel. He slowly would look up towards the sky as he would take a few steps back before placing his hands together. “Well what sort of information do you have so far, report.” he said calmly. The way he spoke it was as if he was taking charge, but he was not in any way, he just wished to be briefed, he wanted to know the situation, what was going on. He needed to know if there was information as to where the snake was, and if there were any other information about it such as the size, the weight, if there were more then one, and any other information that may help.

Standing there calmly Heero placed a few hand seals as the sand particles around the ground quickly began to form around, solidifying in a what seemed to look like a gaseous fate. It began to form into a cloud, into that of the “Nimbus” cloud that Heero loved to call it. Quickly taking a jump he landed along the cloud as he watched the two without curiousness along his face. “Where do you need me to go, or where do we go,” he said calmly hovering somewhat just an inch or two off of the ground. He was to the point, he was pure in his words. He wanted to know what to do, where to do it, and that was it. He however spoke everything in his friendly smile, it seemed that he enjoyed the fact that he was with team mates, perhaps people in the village that he could trust. The words in his mind however kept thinking about his brother, Jenzo, the Vigilante Saint.

[kalo]

The long, red haired Uchiha would feel his hand being yanked up and down. And it sort of snapped him out of his wierd little 'conflict' with Spunky. However, it'd take him a few seconds to realize that the man known as Heero would be shaking his hand, briefly after shaking Suro's behind him. Blinking a few times, he'd shake his head and then turn his eyes back over to the taller man before him as he'd begin to speak. “Well what sort of information do you have so far, report.” Wait.. Were they in the military now..? Were they back in the Kazekage's office? Much respect paid to the no doubt older man, but Angel wasn't in the mood for that kind of stuff. Well actually, he never really was and rarely 'played along' with that stuff. But no matter, they were all cool now right? They had a new and obviously very trustworthy teammate, right? Angel would nod slightly and then turn his bright green eyes to scan behind Heero.

He'd go into his pocket and pull out the flier he'd recived from the old man in the bar. He'd shove it in Heero's hands, before the man would step back and perform some handseals. "Here, you can read for yourself." The boy would tilt his head slightly, watching the man attentively. Spunky's beady eyes would follow along also, the reflection shining in his eyes. Now, a little cloud was forming..?! What kind of jutsu was this? Thus, this would prove the point that there were many things the young Uchiha still had to learn about in this world. And his father's training, along with the bandits' wasn't enough until he would finally be able to reach his limit. "Cool.." He'd smirk a bit at the site of the man sitting on the little cloud.

Angel would proceed in the direction they were traveling in and walk past Heero, and his cloud. He'd continue walking until he was a few yards away and come to a halt, turning back to face them, his playful and excited smirk never to fade away. "Well, we're going towards the south east. Am I going alone, or are you slow pokes coming?" Remaining with a positive attitude, well at least until someone pushed his little 'Uchiha attitude' out of him. Or maybe it wasn't even an Uchiha attitude, but just an Angel mood swing. That thought had always made the boy laugh, but not at this moment. His focus was on Suro, and their new teammate for this mission. And then, it'd ponder off to the site of a Giant Snake. He'd turn his back to the two, and then proceed with walking towards the South East, knowing the two of them would eventually catch up with him.

His excitement was perhaps getting the best of him here. But he could only hope that he wouldn't be disappointed and come across, merely a garden snake!

[The Asko]

Suro nodded to the handshake before taking a step back as well bringing a more serious tone about her. “Well what sort of information do you have so far, report.” Her eyes widened to this little "command" that the Sannin gave. She nearly scoffed in disgruntlement, but kept her silence as her teammate, Angel, replied to it. She knew she was one to begin to lose her temperment, and keeping silence was the best way to go about this.

Let the one with the cool attitude do the talking, that's what she thought. "Here, you can read for yourself." Suro could not help but smirk, his reply had a bit of a smartass way about it, but was amusing all around. Hopefully the tall ninja could read she thought to herself, though only as a joke. Suro had figured it wouldn't be long before the ninja started to be a bit of a show-off again, and she wasn't wrong.

As he began to summon his Sand about the air and jumped onto it she gave a casual eye roll and looked over to Angel for his reaction. She smiled a bit at his surprise, it was obvious that he was new to the Sand, even to those that may have never met him. Suro looked back to Heero as Angel began walking away. "Well, I suppose you'll coming along then." she said as she took a slight bow and began to walk after Angel.

Her walk turned into a run as she passed Heero, and mid-run she took the form of her bloodline, a large black wolf running along and kicking up sand behind her. Angel's little comment about being a slow poke would be re-paid as she caught up with him and cut over from beside him, hitting his leg trying to trip him. Suro would laugh a bit as she continued on.

[👺 Usiel]

"Here, you can read for yourself." said the young man who handed Heero the reports. Looking through he nodded lightly giving out a little sigh standing there along his cloud as he began to read through taking the time to read through the reports. His mind began to wonder on about the report. He still needed to know how large the creature was, but he shrugged it off letting it go deciding that it was not important at that time. He looked to the left then to the right to notice how his team mates were acting towards him on how he wanted to know things. He felt something odd in the air, felt that perhaps he was not to welcomed. Giving out a slight shrug he just waited.

"Well, we're going towards the south east. Am I going alone, or are you slow pokes coming?" he heard the words coming from the young warrior. Heero slowly watched as his team mate began.

"Well, I suppose you'll coming along then." the woman said as she ran off herself. He noticed how sh would turn that into a wolf, running through the ground. He gently cocked an eyebrow hearing a rumor of those that can turn themselves into wolves, and perhaps this was exactly it. Giving out a nod he shrugged slightly placing the papers away in his pouches. He stood there along his flying Nimbus and began to fly off into the distance following behind.

The sand that made up his helmet slowly seeped back on as Heero brought his goggles back over his eyes once again. The way he swayed his cloud looked like that of a surfer, moving, swaying along the air, surfing the air with his cloud of sand. Heero was having fun as he kept quiet watching the other two. He wondered and began to ponder about the situation at hand. None the less he had a bad feeling that was slowly coming along. His distance was matched as he stayed beside them both, showing that his speed of his Nimbus was indeed something to be noticed, however Heero somewhat missed his Suna sa fa.

Feeling a kick in his knee, Angel would bend down slightly to hold it. Of course he knew it was none other than Suro. But this time it was her in her 'wolf' form. He'd seen it before, this morning to be exact when he first encountered his friend. "Ow! Hey! Thats not fair!" Spunky gave off a sort of squealing sound to show that he found this funny. "Shut up, before I have some rabbit soup instead of snake!" The boy would say with a chuckle. Spunky would ignore the Uchiha and continue 'laughing'. The wind wasn't blowing hard today. Just a light breeze so they should be able to make good time and get to their destination within the hour at least. The boy would push off of his back foot and make a very small effort to catch up with Suro. Walking along side with her, he'd stare at her wolf figure while smirking to say the least.

"You should teach me how to do that, Suro!" It was more sarcasm than anything else. Angel was pretty sure that there wasn't a jutsu out there that allowed you to shapeshift completely into a wolf. And obviously it must be a bloodlimit, no doubt. "And maybe I'll teach you how to make tear shaped dots circle around your pupils." After that statement the boy would laugh out loud, even if no one else found it funny. He was pretty sure Heero would think of him as a joke now, but that was really never his concern; what others thought of him of course. But if this travel was going to be at least an hour, or perhaps less, there was no point in traveling in silence. Perhaps now was the perfect time to get more accquainted with their new teammate. Or maybe it was best not to talk to him until it was 'battle' time? Who knew? This guy surely was the most unpredictable one.

The red haired Uchiha would turn his head back to the front of him and stare out in front of him, perhaps trying to get a glimpse of what was in front of them. And now that he would think about that, there was no real way to actually find the snake unless they watched the ground. He saw some tree's in the distance. The boy wasn't tired nor dehydrated so he knew he wasn't hallucinating. It was no doubt an oasis there. But it looked like they wouldn't get to it for at least a mile and a few. He'd ask his team if they'd want to stop at it later because it also looked like it was out of their direction. "I guess it'll be pretty easy to find a "giant snake" right..? I mean even if its resting, we should find a big hole somewhere.." He'd just been speaking from what he had experienced as a youngling. Snakes loved their holes obviously, where they could take their preys down and feed.

He'd continue walking, and with every step it felt like the sun was getting hotter and hotter. But it was just in his mind. Being a Genjutsu specialists, the boy couldn't allow it to get to his mind. Shaking his head slightly and letting out a slight sigh, he'd hope his teammates would have something to say about this whole 'situation'..

"Ow! Hey! Thats not fair!" Suro laughed hysterically as she ran ahead of him, glancing back to his figure bending down and grabbing his leg. However, this was no even the funniest part, but the rabbit who had shreiked in laughter as well. "You should teach me how to do that, Suro!" She chuckled a bit and slowed down in order to walk beside him.

"Ah, well why don't you just... copy it? Hmm?" she teased. She knew very well that the Sharingan could not copy any other bloodlines, especially this one, but it was funny to joke anyway. "And maybe I'll teach you how to make tear shaped dots circle around your pupils."

She smirked a bit, though it didn't appear so from where she stood. "Ah, I'm not much for having my eyes look like I haven't slept in weeks." She glanced up at him, laughing a bit under her breath. It was another joke, no doubt, but a bit of a rougher one. She paused her enjoyment though for a moment as she looked over at the other teammate who seemed a little quiet, less "playful", probably something to do with dignity and what-not.

He seemed to just float along on his little cloud of sand. It was strange, but Suro was not one to say seeing as her mode of travel was just as unorthodox. Suro looked back over at Angel as he began to speak again, something about finding this serpent. Suro's first thought was that, hell a giant snake can't be too hard to come across. Of course, it was only a little after this that she remembered that they lived underground.

"And maybe I'll teach you how to make tear shaped dots circle around your pupils." said the young man, the one who went by the name of Angel. Heero would slowly look towards him narrowing his eyes some thinking to himself for a brief moment. 'Huh Uchiha huh, interesting' he said calmly before looking straight ahead, 'Glad I am not the only one,' he continued to think to himself. It was safe to think however, because of the fact that no one could read minds, or perhaps they could but then he would be screwed. His mind continued to wonder as he noticed how the young woman was in a wolf like form. His mind began to wonder once more trying to figure out exactly what her clan's man was.

He had never met anyone capable of this, but hey there was always time to learn more and new things.

"Ah, well why don't you just... copy it? Hmm?" the young woman teased to the man.

'Yep that confirms it, Uchiha,' he thought to himself some more as he observed his two team mates. Heero was never really one that was talkative. He was more of an observant, one who would take the time to listen to the words of those of his team mates, and then speak outwards. Yeah Heero was not exactly playful, he was not necessarily emo as well, he was just calm who kept to himself.

"Hmmm," softly his lips came forth producing a sound. "Seems that I am the only one without any special abilities," he said calmly staring off into the distance looking forward as he continues to glide through along the large cloud of sand. He was obviously trying to keep with the team, but he was not exactly one who was very talkative. This type of thing happens when one is stuck with the same team for years, and giving out orders when needed. "I feel left out," he said calmly before looking up then glancing all around. His right hand slowly reached up to his massive sized sword as he took hold of it, waiting patiently, wondering how far to go, looking for any types of signs. Signs such as large holes, enormous sand duns, or perhaps shedded skin.

Both Spunky and Angel would laugh at Suro's come back. It was fun to play like that, knowing he couldn't learn or copy another bloodlimit, yet pretending as if it were all gravy. The boy would throw his hands on top of his head, Spunky would have already scurried around to the boy's back, trying to get the most comfortable position possible; especially if they were going to be traveling for a while right..? "Ah, I'm not much for having my eyes look like I haven't slept in weeks." Angel would laugh out loud again. "For weeks..? I think its years.. Heh, I don't think I could take being that hairy anyways." He'd chuckled a bit, teasing his friend back. He'd briefly look down at his side where Suro would be walking, and then turn his bright green eyes back towards in front of him.

Now this would be a surprise, Heero would actually say something. Angel would turn around, but now walking backwards. It really wasn't that serious since they were in a desert and in a sea of sand. Did he really have to watch where he was going..? The boy would lift his head slightly to get a full view of the man above them yet slightly lagging behind. "Seems that I am the only one without any special abilities," The boy would smirk at this comment. "Well, being a Sannin, I don't think it really matters. Plus.. What about that---" He'd be cut short of that sentence. His eyes would widen all the way so now you could see them completely. His eyelids hid the top no more. The boy would feel his foot slip, and he would go tumbling down.. A hill?

"Ah sh ----- Gaaaah!!" He'd yell. Spunky would have already flew off of the boy's back and would be tumbling down the hill along with him, making his own squeaky sounds of everytime he hit the soft sand and then bounced back up. Good thing they were on Sand, and it looked a little deeper than usual on this hill too. It felt like they'd be falling for hours in their minds, but it was merely seconds until they'd finally hit the bottom. Angel would be on his stomach, face full of Sand. Spunky on his back, eyes shut as if to block out all of the horror. The red haired Uchiha knew what happened. He'd experienced it before, and for some reason he had a knack for always falling down hills. "Ugh.. Not.. Again.." He'd slowly lift himself from the ground. Little sand rocks were all over his face, and he didn't need a mirror to know it.

Brushing his face and then shaking his red hair from the Sand, the boy would slowly proceed to his clothing and brush it off too. He'd quickly scan around him to see if he'd dropped anything and realize that the only thing that he dropped was Spunky. Scooping the rabbit up by his ears, he'd prop him back up on his shoulder and then look up at Heero and Suro with a bright, 'I'm-Okay!' smile. Scratching the back of his head, the boy would turn around and look up; He'd fell down no hill... He'd fell down a hole! A Giant hole to be exact. "Oh Man.." Quickly checking his left and right for Snakes or anything, he'd sigh in relief. But when he'd look to his right he'd caught a glimpse of something. There looked to be.. a cave or something that led down deeper underground! "Yo! Check this out!" He'd yell back at Heero and Suro. Had this been it..? Angel was pretty sure his teammates would know if this would be their destination..

[The Asko]

"Seems that I am the only one without any special abilities," Suro gave another glance back to the other teammate who hadn't said too much. She chuckled a bit as she began to look straight ahead again though. With his "unique" jutsu in using that Sand as a mode of travel, he didn't need, nor would have any use of a bloodline. "For weeks..? I think its years.. Heh, I don't think I could take being that hairy anyways."

Suro glanced back over to Angel, having nearly forgotten what they were talking about for a second. She raised an eyebrow to his "hairy" comment, rubbing her jaws together somewhat in annoyance. She dismissed it however as he began to speak to Heero about his "abilities." Her jaws opened wide for a yawn before snapping shut in surprise as Angel simply "disappeared" from her peripheral view. She stopped suddenly and looked back at Heero for an explanation before walking over toward where he had stood.

Suro could only walk so far though until she came upon the explanation for his sudden disappearance. She came to stand at the edge of a large hole in the ground. Peaking over the edge shelooked down, pricking up her ears in order to hear any movement. She was able to both see and hear him. "Ugh.. Not.. Again.."

She chuckled a bit, glancing over at Heero again, knowing that he was probably on his way over. "Yo! Check this out!" She raised an eyebrow for a moment, contemplating tell him to suck it up because she'd rather stay where she knew wasn't an obvious trap, but instead she chose to lunge for a bit of adventure. With a doggish shrug she leapt down into the hole, falling for a few moments and landed at the bottom, crouched down back in human form again, clutching her katana which was still sheathed in her left hand. Suro stood up, and looked after him, noticing that darkness was overtaking the small space, but still being able to see as good as she was able in the sunlight to do her blood traits.
