Mission Unfinished: Cave Randevouz

[Raikou!]

Raikou had just entered Village of the cloud territory. He was still a mile off from the actual village but he was very close to his destination. He was headed to a small hidden cave, next to a river bed. He knew that Koori and Res would meet him their, it had a certain amount of significance to them all.

As children, they would sneak far out of the village to train and hang out when they weren't at the Academy. They would play out ninja scenarios, and pretend they were powerful Sannin. Not much other then children stuff went on, however they made the pact as young boys; if they ever were to meet up during a time of crisis, this would be where they would.

Raikou had reached the small cave first. He sat down and looked at his wounds. Nothing life threating but it did hurt a good amount. He went over the past events over and over again in his mind. Focusing on his mistakes and regrets.

'What went wrong', he asked himself. So much did. He had let his guard down and the wrong time. He assumed he could trick her, but in reality he set himself up for death. So thankful he was for his friends. He decided he would never be put in this situation again. He would train even harder, so it could be him who saves his friends lives.

He sat there, waiting patiently for his friends, hoping they made it away, as he did.

OOC: Hey man ask a mod to move this to the land of thunder, although you are close, this forum consists of things inside the walls of the cloud village. I'm just sayin it before O says it.

[Raikou!]

((OCC: Oh thanks man))

[Koori.]

Koori was not to far now. He ran to the lake and looked around. He knew that the lake right here was right by where the cave was that they would randevouz back at. Koori seemed lost. Koori stop and poundered for a bit. He took a moment to look at his wounds. He was dissapointed in himself. If we attacked like a team, instead of having to save each others back, we would have done alot better, Koori thought to himself. It didn't matter now, he was more occupied with the fact that he could've lost members of his team. He knew he wasn't far from the cave. He hadn't been there in years. None of them probably, to bo honest. He had finally found it. Someone was inside. Only 3 people knew the location of the cave, so Koori had no worries. koori walked in and saw Raikou sitting down against a wall. This cave was really small for some reason, he had remembered it alot bigger. Koori sat down, opposite wall of the cave.

"Looks like the two of us made it fine.

[Othello]

(( you guys did very well I am proud of all of you =]))

[res]

As Res was jumping though the trees he couldn't believe that he stopped her from killing his friends.
"I wonder if they made it to the cave, we did all say if we ever got in trouble to meet there."
A couple minutes later Res got to the entrance of the cave and noticed 2 people sitting inside. Thinking to himself that the only people that knew about the cave where Raikou and Koori.

(Out of breath) "Sorry guys I kinda went the wrong way didn't wanna get killed. What's the plan now?"

[Raikou!]

Raikou looks at Res and motions for him to sit down.

Raikou sits with his back to the wall of the cave. He looks at each of his good friends. Looking down at his hands, he swallows any depression he held with in.

Raikou begins laughing, “Haha well that was one heck of a close call! Haha, we almost died! Hell I almost died twice!”

Raikou suddenly jumps up as if he wasn’t hurt at all.

He points at koori and smiles, “I really would have been toast; I miscalculated pretty bad back there. You really saved me.”

Raikou turns and then points at Res, “You! I haven’t seen you in a long while, and the first thing you do is save both me and Koori’s life. Needless to say I appreciate it.”

Raikou then sits back softly. “So, I say we head back to the village and report all this to the Raikage. He needs to know about this danger lurking around. I think he will fully understand the situation and might let us finish our mission another time. Making a report should be our most important priority.”

Raikou looks at his comrades with passionate eyes and waits for their response.

[Koori.]

Koori sees Res walk in to the cave. Hes relieved that all his team mates are alive and well still. Koori takes a deep sigh of relief. Raikous jumps up and talks about how he was saved twice. Koori Begins to ponder, as per usual.

"YEah good idea, we should let him know whats going on. I mean that chick did say she wanted to find the village hidden in the clouds. She found the Thunder capital, which means she could find the cloud village any day. This take priority. Then Treating our wounds take second. Then, if the Raikage excepts, we can go back and continue when we are properly healed."

Raikou and Res seemed to agree with the idea. They both got up and seemed willing to head out to the hidden cloud.

"Hey Res. Thanks back there man and its good to see you, been awhile bro. But Theres something else we need to talk about. I would like this to be our permanent team. I mean, we understand each other the best and look, we didn't even communicate after we ran from Miss crazy face back there, and we knew where to meet up. I think its for the best especially with the Chuunin exams not that far away."

Koori begins to stand up, his left arm collapses. Raikou is quikc to help him stand. "Chick hit me harder than i thought. My ribs hurt too. We should hurry and get medical attention right after we report."

Res, who had no injuries whatsoever helped Koori out of the cave, Raikou was fine by himself, he usualy always was. They left the cave to the lake area.

[res]

Res looks at Koori as he falls.
"Hey now don't be all falling all over the place, we need each other now. And I haven't been around for a while and i gotta save your sorry asses. Let's get back to the Raikage and let him know what happened."

"Well, Maybe we can stay here for the night? Im hurtin pretty bad over here ya know?"

The three friends decide to spend the night in the cave. Res jumps up and runs outside to grab some wood for a fire. While Koori and Raikou wait inside the cave.

[Raikou!]

The three young ninja set up camp in their little cave for the night. They spend a lot of the night catching up on new things, and remembering old times. Raikou thinks to himself how much he missed these guys. He begins to think about the upcoming chunnin exams, and really believes with these guys they could make it.

The night turns into morning and the ninja prepare to leave to the village in the clouds. Raikou looks at the near by lake and comes up with an idea. "Just encase guys if that crazy chick is tailing us lets jump in the lake to completely knock her off track."

The three ninja jump into the lake, and swim around for good measure. They jump out and head home.

(OOC: Posted out of turn on accident, fixed it)

[Koori.]

The three ninjas Get thier stuff packed after what had seemed like a long night. They got dressed and headed out of the cave. They were only about a mile from the Hidden Cloud Village. They started on he road about 10 minutes from thier cave. They were very cautious as they walked down the road. It took about 2 hurs till thet finnaly started to come upon the Hidden village of clouds. They were relieved. No trouble along the way, The Kayuga wasn't following them, nor was anyone else, this was a good sign. Koori pondered for a moment on the other person who had came to confront the Kayuga also. Koori was almost worried for the guy, but he had warned him fair and square. Whatever, Reporting and healing took priority now, that other crazy guy had his own things to deal with now, but koori thought he would report this to the raikage as well.

Koori took the opurtunity to tell the other 2 that he had made a detailed report in the Thunder city capital of all the suspicious characters that had passed through. the capital and near-by areas, and what the bartender heard by ear. He had pretty nice stack of paper, which he handed to Raikou.

They came about the Village Gates, they were hear finally, The Hidden Cloud village, home at last, no to get back to work. The three headed towards the Raikages office.

Move to Hidden Cloud Village.

[Kuro]

(OOC: Hey guys i was tryin to post before you made it back here but you beat me to it, so now I'm posting this, good job by the way, i'm very impressed.)

Kurogane watched from a distance, he thought he should confront his comrades but chose to see there actions, then report to Othello he's the Raikage after all. Kurogane had been awake all night he had found them in the cave after he tracked them down. He realized none of them stayed up to keep watch so he did so. He was on edge the whole time, keeping his guard up at all time. He had followed them all the way back to the Cloud Village, he had still chosen to keep himself hidden from them. He followed them as they walked down the path, he when from tree to tree. He kept himself quiet, to keep his whereabouts hidden. He was proud that they had come to such a good decision on reporting back, that girl was a clear threat to the Village Hidden in the Cloud. He kept the thoughts of what he had witnessed in the battle, the good teamwork and wise decision.

Kurogane followed them almost all the way back to the gate, then decided to pick up the pace and jolted forward to the Cloud Village.
