Return To Rain (Travel/Missing Nin Escort)

[Arkai]

[Continued from On The Lamb]

As Arkai and Kazuko walked back through the Earth in the opposite direction he had come from, he considered the question that the man had asked. He didn't have anything better to do. Would the kage get mad? Probably not, he had better things to do. Assuming Kazuko was still alive after his sentencing... Arkai looked at Kazuko, and said, "Why not?" What the heck.

After a few hours of walking, they would stumble out of the dry grass and into the area where the Earth borer met the Rain one. He could already smell the rainy air blowing in, and would be glad when he got back to his village. As he came past the "You Are Now Entering Rain" sign, he saw the remains of his campsite. A flicker of black appeared before him, and the ANBU who had protected him stood there. "I have the missing nin, as requested by the Amekage." said Arkai. The ANBU nodded, and took the string off Kazuko, and replaced it with handcuffs. Arkai sighed, then followed as they continued to rain.

[kazuko]

Kazuko hade heard the words the Arkai said and then he knodded. This would be good if he learned the suiton release from a rain ninja because then he wold be able to be more connected to the village and it's ninja. As they walked along the road and passed into the rain country, Kazuko noticed an Anbu come into focuse.

The Anbu took Kazuko and his dog. Kazuko sighed as they were walking in the direction of the village. He then realized that even if he had defeated Arkai he would have been found and killed by the Anbu. After walking a few more hours The trio stopped to make camp for the night.

[sorry short post, not that much to write about]

[Nira]

Moved

[Arkai]

After a few more hours of walking, the terrain became more familiar. The smell of rain became stronger, and the distant clouds drew closer. The ANBU had not let up, and Arkai was tired. He wanted to stop, but he couldn't look weak. His breathing became labored, but he did his best to keep it quiet. He knew it wasn't far now. The rain had already begun to fall, and soon the party was drenched. The tall trees of the rainforest let water fall down thir trunks, and he knew that somewhere behind the trees would be the village he had been away from for 2 days. And as the convoy finally stopped at the hidden path, he let out all his remaining breath, and breathed hard. The ANBU looked at him, then continued into the forest. He hurried behind them, trying not to look too stupid...

As the party went on and approached the village Kazuko couldn't help but fell alittle scared. There was an assimilation of un answered questions that were concerning his fate. As the rain sweeped in Kazuko looked at the ANbu officer that was to his right and Arkai that was to his left and thought about how he didn't want to leave this world and how he could do so many more things for the village.

He also wanted to develop the relationships that he had mad with human and animal alike. Kazuko bit his lip as the trio finnally got to the village gate and all would be decided.
