A simple job...[Mission]

[dubcheck]

Daichi would travel off on the road in earth country which would take him to the country of bird. He had been given directions in which to head, but had no general map and so he sort of just headed out westward. He wore his usual garb: Black hoody, red muscle vest over it, belt, charcoal pants with black bandaged greaves and black ninja boots. He wore his but bag at the left butt cheek and wore his sword at the small of his back horizontally. He had a melody arm on his right hand, and his headband on his forehead. His necklace with the black diamond was worn as well. IN his butt bag where all his secondary items. He also carried his rogue acoustic guitar on his back by a shoulder strap. Under his left arm was tucked a wooden polished box that was wrapped in some cloth which had a seal on it that would keep the package held secure.

As Daichi walked he would take out a bag of sun flower seed's and pop some in his mouth, then he'd grab his guitar and begin playing a nice song to help him pass time on the road. As he walked he would begin to groove while he played his song, bobbing his head while striking the strings with a beutiful display of finger dexterity and an ease of hand trasition that made this look easy. The vibrant sound of the acoustic body out here in the wide quiet open would sound very loud and clear, able to be heard by anyone clearly from about 50 meter's around.

He would slightly twirl around and walk backwards while playing as his mind began to get into the soul of the song, his face contorting into what seemed like pains of soulful enjoyment, his mind lost in ecstacy as his bangs began to fall over his face as he swayed in time to the beat of this song. A smile would cross his face after he passed the first section of freestyle and returned to the chorus. He began to sing, using his mental reflex to put together sensable rhyming into words off the top of his head...

"...My name is Daichi...And Im just a kid yeah yeah...I live at home, the village of stone ohohoh, I got a box, but it's not for meeee, taken it to...someone in bird countryyyy!!!"

And so the kid was completely lost in the rapt music of his instrument, jamming out with a lack of conscious appeal for the ambience around him.

[Moved to Bird. Random Encounter to come. You actually got the roll for one xD]

[Sairo Zassou]

As Daichi would cross the border from Earth to Bird, he would come across the large forest spoken of in the mission statement. And sure enough, the cabin was there... Burning. The Cabin was on fire and no one was in sight. A small bird, however, flew down and saw the stone Ninja standing there. It dropped a letter for him to read from the one he was to deliver the sword to.

"I say, good boy, The Tsuchikage sent word that you were arriving and yet... MY HOUSE IS ABLAZE! Do take care of the raging fire my good man. Oh, and if you are reading this, then I am currently being held hostage near the Village of Mo in the Land of Fire. They think I'm allied with Konohagakure for some reason. The nerve of some people. Please take my sword and my bird to the village and speak with the lady in charge. With her help, my rescue is assured. She and I are good friends after all. Make haste, ol' chap, and I'll be sure to reward you double!"

[New Mission added! Now you're doing two missions in one ^_^]

Rank: C
IIC Length: 2 Days
Difficulty: Medium
Objective: Put out the fire on the house, meet with the leader of Mo, and save the mission giver while delivering the package.

[dubcheck]

Daichi came to the forest near bird country and had put his guitar away when he started to see the burning cabin. Immediately he sought the shelter of some bushes and watched the burning cabin from afar. "Man...what the hell?!" Daichi said with a frown as he surveyed the area really quick with the eye of a ninja looking for other ninja. However he didn't see any trace of a threat and didn't have the ocular power's of his teammate Masaaki. Daichi would look to the air suddenly as he watched a bird come flying down to him. He rose from the bushes and walked his way out into the clear path thinking it strange for the bird to just hang around a blazing cabin.

As the bird came to him, Daichi would hold his right arm up which had his melody arm on it. The bird landed on the gauntlet and would convey a message to him. Daichi comprehended the message with clear understanding that he was to head to the land of Mo? He let the bird maneuver to his shoulder now and would rub his chin with his left hand as he did some mental calculations and thought about this situation. It seemed simple enough, this bird was an ally of the man...maybe not but then Daichi still had to deliver the sword or it would be a mission failure. Daichi decided in the end that his original objective was at stake and as well it would be wise to see this through and report a full detail.

He sighed and walked around the cabin to see for sure that the entire thing was burning. He watched the smoke rising from the top of it and thought about putting the fire out...maybe not a good idea, he surmised. He realized suddenly now that whomever did this might still be hanging around close enough to detect the smoke going out. Daichi looked to the woods around him again and then turned back to the fire once more and realized it would be diplomatically sound to put this out. Still it could cause more trouble in the long run. Daichi would activate his Ryuugan with a blink of the eye's and hold his hands outwards now.

He channeled the tempest of water into both hand's and quickly formed some hand seals. after forming them he would leap to a high tree above the house on the side of it separated by five meter's. He roosted in a crouch on a branch at about 2 stories high and held his hands cupped to his mouth as they where covered both in gaseous looking plumes of misty moist fog. The blue mist around Daichi's hands blew out in a large geyser of water as he breathed in deeply and then blew out a jet stream of water all over the house. The stream of water was high pressured like a hi-powered fire hydrant. The house sizzled as the water soaked over the house, though this would take some time to fully complete since a burning house-especially cabins- would have air pockets within the walls and frame that where hard to snuff out with water even form a technique like this.

It took all of about 15 minutes to fully finish putting the house out of it's fire now. Daichi finally let the tempest fade from his hands and would recede his Ryuugan, reaching into his butt bag to grab some sunflower seeds. "Damn man...that was a bit of a drain just to put this shit out...Need to work on my suiton..." Daichi would say as he looked around still for a sign of any threat or travelers being nosy. After putting the fire out, there was still the smoldering bits that he had to make sure didn't catch again. Daichi would make a choice to spend the night in the region just to make sure none of the attackers returned, and as well he wanted to make sure he replenished his chakra before heading to Mo. He didn't know what was in store but already he had traveled a long way from stone and that was a very big country to travel.

Daichi simply took his guitar in hand as the late after noon sun went down and he played to pass the time while surveying the still smoldering house. As night fell he fed the bird some seed's and then he pass out with guitar in hand on the branch of the tree, hidden by the foliage of leaves and branches and the darkness of night. Thought his red vest was severally standing out amongst the green leaves and such. Daichi counted on the bird to alert him should some enemies come at him...

[Random encounter through the night?]

[Sairo Zassou]

[Indeed]

As night fell, Daichi would notice a difference in the forest itself. The trees had seemed to start swaying on their own despite the lack of natural wind moving them. A strange hum came from deep in the forest as it seemed the trees had started to sing? And sure enough, the tree that he was on started to hum as well. They swayed a little more as they sung their song, voices actually being heard in the process. It was a beautiful sound, one that was calming and relaxing. A nearby village could be seen shutting off their lights as they all fell asleep to the sound of the singing trees. Perhaps that was why this place was called the Nocturnal Forest? It was a forest where the trees sang in the night to help others sleep, and when the sun rose, they stood tall and strong, sleeping away to start their song again at nightfall.

[Not a big encounter. But include it in your mission report and I may include missions to the Nocturnal Forest again.]

[dubcheck]

Daichi got up, grabbed all his things, took the bird, and bounced. His destination was now to fire country. There was nothing left to do here, and so he left.

SPOILER: Click to show

[Travel to stone...Random encounter?]

[Tieren]

Daichi must have gotten lost and confused as all of a sudden, he was waking back up on the tree. Was his initial waking up all a dream? It was hard to say. Regardless, the charred cabin stood there with no one having come. His mission was still going.

[Next time... Post more. Thread not moved]

[dubcheck]

Daichi would hop off the tree and grab his things head head off with the bird and wrapped sword in the box. He began to head out back to the land of earth. He thought about returning to report what happened to the cabin, but then He figured the kage would want a full report at the end of the mission and so Daichi simply continued out the wood's and began to travel along the road with the bird standing on the tip of his guitar neck, watching around the way bird's did.

As Daichi had come strolling along through the earth country again, he would be eating sun flower seeds, desiring to play his guitar, but not wanting to scare the bird away and have to chase it. So, Daichi decided to ask the bird a question while roaming. "Hey bird, you wouldn't happen to know of or have seen the captors of your master would you?" Daichi tried. The bird spoke last time, though he wasn't sure if it was a remembered message or if it was intelligent speech. Daichi would hand the bird some sun flower seeds calmly, simply because bird's liked seeds. It wasn't a bribe, he would feed the bird simply because it just kinda seemed right and cute.

[Tieren]

[Random Encounter. Creature Encounter. Falcon, Female, C Class, Chaotic Neutral Alignment]

As Daichi continued his travels, a Falcon would come across his path. It would watch from above, but not for him. The poor female was ready to lay her eggs, but was nowhere near her nest. She could feel one of them already pushing and trying to get out, but she wasn't sure where to go. She flew down and landed on the ground in front of Daichi, looking around for a nearby spot of shade that she could lay them long enough to build a nest. The bird on Daichi's shoulder flew off to immediately start setting up a nest, obviously wanting to help the pregnant Falcon lay her eggs. Daichi would see the tiniest bit of white sticking out of her underside, the sign of one of her eggs starting to come out on its own. Would Daichi continue to help or keep going on his path?

[dubcheck]

Daichi would just be walking along trying to talk to the bird he was feeding some seed's to when suddenly he saw a shadow on the ground. He looked up and noticed a falcon circling around in the air. He stopped walking and squinted holding his hand to shade his eyes and get a better look at the circling falcon, as it was strange behavior for the bird to be doing around the canyon. He watched the falcon dive down to the ground and he would simply watch with a lethargic look as always. He popped some seed's into his mouth as he watched the bird reach the ground and then begin looking around for something.

Daichi squinted slightly as he noticed the falcon looked...plumper then it should. He watched his own bird companion flap off to tend to the falcon and Daichi furrowed his brow at this. He watched it begin to consolidate materials as it formed a nest and Daichi moved to get a better look at this from afar about 7 meter's. He kept eating sunflower seeds, amused at this wilderness entertainment. The falcon seemed to be in distress as if it where running out of time for something. Daichi smiled as he began to realize, that the bird was probably just...probably...just...

...

................................

"Man, What the fuck...." Daichi said out loud as his mouth just hung open and his hand's froze right in the middle of grabbing some more sunflower seeds. A big huge egg, covered in raw birth seemed to just appear in powder white against the brownish feather's of the birds anal region. "KIYAAAAAH!" The falcon screamed out and Daichi literally dropped the bag of seeds from his hands as a gust of wind just blew over his face leaving the empty sound of canyon ambience and the slight shuffling and fluttering of the birds. Daichi almost didn't know how to react, and then found himself blinking in amazement as his humanity kicked in. He rubbed the bridge of his nose with his left hand index and middle fingers and then looked around the canyon walls for any watcher's and walked towards the bird, unsure of how to aid this process of nature.

It was clear that the egg seemed to be slightly too big and caused alot of pain to the falcon. Daichi made a hesitating gesture as if to kneel down as if he knew what to do and then stood back up, his eyes swiveling back and forth as the look of fast paced thinking wore on his face and then he made another gesture to kneel down like he was gunna just start doing something. "KIYAAAAAAAAAH!!" Screamed the falcon again and Daichi literally shot back up standing with his hands clamping on top of his hair as his mouth puckered in surprise. The other bird seemed to be looking at Daichi as if he should help and Daichi just made a derpish expression while waving his hands through the air moving his mouth without saying anything. Both bird's began to sqawk loudly now and Daichi wore the most mind blown expression on his face he had ever had. He tried to make frantic shooshing gestures to the birds as he thought the noise might attract a threat.

"RAAAAAAH, USELESS, RAAAAAAH NO HUMANITY, NO HUMANITY RAAAAAAH, COMPLETELY USELESS! *Whistle* RAAAAAAAH!!!!" Screamed the bird that Daichi was supposed to travel with. Daichi began turning back and forth frantically in panic and then he just threw his hands up and tiptoed around the falcon and grabbed the bird he needed to keep and whispered, "Sorry, I wish I could help but like...I dunno just hang in ther-"

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Screamed the falcon as the egg was trying to be forced out. Daichi jumped almost dropping the bird he needed to keep, "Fuck!" and that's when the bird he was traveling with bit Daichi right on his left hand, "God dammit! AAAH!" Daichi yelled jumping away. He folded his arms tightly and just walked far away from the two bird's and tried to think. Then he got a crazy idea...

He grabbed his Guitar from his shoulder and just started playing hoping it would soothe the falcon.

[Tieren]

The Falcon was clearly having trouble as the bird Daichi was supposed to watch over squabbled with the one who was watching over him. The female falcon finally heard the music and looked over to him and tilted her head. It did help a little bit as she started trying to get to the nest. But it was clear that she couldn't get up the tree at this point. She knelt down a little and raised her tail feathers. With a squelching noise that just didn't go along with the song, 5 eggs were eventually birthed successfully, yet a smaller one came afterward. She nudged the smaller egg toward the man and offered it to him. A chance at a pet, or an Animal Companion? She then turned and picked up her eggs one by one and put them in the nest that she was just given. She needed to rest a bit before finding food for her new babies.

[dubcheck]

Daichi would struggle hard to keep playing the song but the look on his face was something like what 7 year old academy students held when they watched their parents get murdered by some viscious cut throat. Daichi would sorta just...slowly stop playing, as his eyes slowly watched the bird nudge one of them sticky after birth covered eggs towards him. As Daichi strapped his guitar back on himself he would stare down at the little egg and seem to be contemplating something. In his head though Daichi would be vividly remembering the horrible experience he just had...out here in the wild wilderness...all by himself.

Wait...


No one else would know of this, so he just wouldn't ever bring up this again right? Right. So he took in a deep breath and then looked to the other bird he was supposed to bring to the master swodsman. The bird gave him an idignant look and Daichi rolled his eye's, "Whatever man..." Daichi said shoving his hands in his pockets and spitting some seeds on the ground, his face returning to the normal casual look as he watched the Falcon tending her egg's. She would need food for them; that much Daichi knew. He looked to the sky and realized it was only becoming high noon just now so that meant he would be able to find something and then get back to his mission. He remembered something about never sacrificing his humanity just for the sake of his ninja career because it was how cut throats where born.

And so looking around Daichi decided he would have to make a small sacrifice. Daichi would reach into his butt bag and grab for his last bag of sun flower seeds. Then he'd grab the half empty bag from the ground and make his way to the bird on the ground next to him. He held the bag out to the bird, "Here, take these to here so she will have plenty of food for her young...She will have to crack the seeds until their gullets are strong enough, but it will be enough food and protien to last them along time until they are able to forage for other food..." The bird flew them up to the mother Falcon and Daichi then sighed and waved his hand before shoving his hands back into his pockets and started walking off again, letting the other bird join him. He had also taken that nasty sticky egg thinking that he should probably like...keep it cause...

Man...who cares, he kept the egg and got as far away from that weird situation as possible, humming a tune to himself. The egg sat carefully in his puffy vest pocket where the thick cushioning would keep it very safe and warm. For some reason Daichi found himself constantly reminded to keep that egg safe as if he really wanted to hatch it. "...Hmmm...why not?...Yeah...Why not!? Maybe I can raise it and all hehe...yeah..." He'd ponder as the bird landed on the neck of his guitar and seemed to be content with having done some birdy goodwill that morning...And now it was on to Earth and through to grass yonder!



[Episode end/ Roll credits xD. Travel to earth country! Also...Egg aquired for Falcon? I'll make an Ac for it if allowed.]

Encounter complete. Moved

[dubcheck]

Daichi began to walk through the earth country, having stopped by at a local merchant village in earth he knew of to get himself three more bag's of sunflower seeds. They where only 1 ryo a bag and then he would stash them away and continue onwards. His destination was to head to the country of grass now, and the day was beginning to head toward's late after noon. The sun was barely going down in a red glow, but Daichi decided not to stay in town for the night. He wanted to hurry and catch up to the village of Mo where he could make contact with whom he needed to and find the swordsman before he became untrackable.

He walked through the huge earth country, coming to the river which would lead him down to the grass country border. It was now turning into night and Daichi was confident that nothing would befall him on his journey. He hadn't had any trouble so far and so he put his mind more into thinking about what he would do when he got to fire country. He had no way of finding the Mo village and so he would need to stop and search for info soon...

[Tieren]

[Dual Random Encounter GO!]

As Daichi continued on to the Land of Grass, he would find himself stopped by a man riding a... Llama? And even then, it wasn't a man. It was a boy. He had a Rain village headband that had a cross through it and... he was naked? It was unsure as to why he had no clothes. But he did have a sword in his hand that he held out toward Daichi.

"Stop traveler! None shall pass into the Land of Grass without first stating their business."[/color] He said. Seeing as he was standing in front of a River, a single bridge going across this section, it seemed that the Kazeraikou would have to play along with the boy's game. The strange thing about his sword though... It was pure white. It looked sturdy enough, but it had a strange shape, almost like that of a bone.

[Llama, Female, B Class, Lawful Good
Male, Bloodlimit=Kaguya, D Class, Tai Master, True Neutral]

[dubcheck]

Daichi looked at the man on the bridge. Actually it was a boy...a but naked boy. With a weird white looking sword that Daichi would have assumed was simply a tree branch shaped like a sword?. He stopped and put his bag of seed's away that he held and then looked to the bird. He had his hands occupied right now with the box, and now he tucked it under his left arm and had a free right hand, which was where his metallic melody arm was placed. Daichi had a disamused look as usual, and he just casually spat some empty shells onto the ground as the kid spoke.

"Stop traveler! None shall pass into the Land of Grass without first stating their business."

Daichi heard this and a brow rose on his left eye in amusement. Spitting a few more shells to the ground he'd say, "Mmm...Well first I would like to know why a ninja with a rain village headband is in my country-" Daichi said pointing to his own headband with his middle finger, flicking it to make a sharp metal tang sound out, "Telling me not to go to a country neither of us are from...And then maybe before I take you seriously or not, you could like tell me why your naked...And..." Daichi would spit some more seeds, " ...Then maybe you can even intrigue me as to why I should even stick around to hear you out...cause I'm busy on some like...important stuff? And this looks like one of them side job gigs that I just really need to ignore...Mmmm I guess you got 10 second's to explain yourself..."

Daichi would be watching the kid while he spoke, casually shaking his head to move the bangs from in front his face and setting his right hand behind him on his own sword hilt. He watched the movements of the kid and his body weight grounded on the balls of his feet slightly as he was ready to shunshin should he need to. He absolutely was not gunna reveal his mission; Stone village buisness. But, should there be a humane reason to help this guy Daichi would help the kid...should this be some whack job on some young punk bubble gum bullshit Daichi was just gunna leave the guy and leave. The kid looked...non threatening, even despite the fact that he was a ninja and had a weapon...which looked like a well carved tree branch er something.

He wasn't about to be trying to kill no kids, no matter what the case, and upon realizing this, Daichi would begin to look around the water's surface behind the kid. Something was not right about this...The rain village he knew from having a grasp of politics and thus geographical locations and other nations in general; Daichi knew that it was a village dominated by constant rain's. As well this suggested a high emphasis on suiton. And so to maneuver around the kid, and head into the river...hmm, what if there was a team with this kid? Daichi remained calm and casual, but he was now trying to calculate his options.

[Tieren]

The Llama that the boy was riding on just shook her head before swiftly turning to the side and knocking the naked boy off of her back. She then kicked at his headband in just a way that it went flying off and landing in the river behind him. The boy shook his head a little bit as he looked back to the river. "Tara! What did you do that for?!?! I wanted to finally be a true ninja with that..."[/color] He said. He didn't quite understand that the slash that came from it was because it was a Missing Ninja headband.

He then turned to look over at the man who had told him he had 10 seconds to explain himself. He panicked as he backed up, almost falling into the river. But the llama just stepped forward and blocked Daichi's view of the boy. It was clear that this Llama was close to the boy. Almost like a motherly figure to him. He climbed back on top of her and hugged her slightly. He then looked over to Daichi and smiled. "Sorry about that... I wanted to be a super cool ninja, and when I found that headband, I figured my chance had finally come! In reality... My parents died after being killed by Grass Ninja and I barely escaped with Tara, our family companion. She keeps me safe but... I didn't have time to grab any clothes before having to leave, and I don't have any money to buy any. So Tara and I keep wandering around the Land of Stone until I found that headband. When I did, I decided to keep others out of the Land of Grass. It wasn't because I wanted to be mean. I wanted to protect them so the Grass Ninja didn't kill them too."[/color] He explained as only a little kid could. He had a couple of cuts and bruises that are likely from his living off of the land.

[dubcheck]

The escapade extended longer then ten normal seconds, but Daichi was already intrigued when he saw the Llama throw the boy to the dirt. Then as the kid climbed back on, his body butt naked and looking rather rugged at that, Daichi would take his right hand calmly from his sword handle at the small of his back. A brow lifted in amusement again and he spat the last of his seeds out his mouth. Daichi then folded his arms and listened to the kid plead his case...

"Sorry about that... I wanted to be a super cool ninja, and when I found that headband, I figured my chance had finally come! In reality... My parents died after being killed by Grass Ninja and I barely escaped with Tara, our family companion. She keeps me safe but... I didn't have time to grab any clothes before having to leave, and I don't have any money to buy any. So Tara and I keep wandering around the Land of Stone until I found that headband. When I did, I decided to keep others out of the Land of Grass. It wasn't because I wanted to be mean. I wanted to protect them so the Grass Ninja didn't kill them too."

Daichi seemed to look at the bird on his head...only to find the bird's wide eye ball's glaring accusingly right into Daichi's face. Daichi sighed, realizing he was now responsible for the tending to this kid's problems...because he had the power, resources, and heart to help this kid out of a very very bad situation...As in this kid could seriously become victim to a whole host of life long paths that meant negativity. His father had many a time told him about karma, and about the repercussions of not helping the helpless; it was how vagabonds where made. Daichi thought about how his father would act in a time like this and realized he was torn between the desire to first bring the kid to stone village where at least he could become a ninja on the same side, gain strength to protect himself, and have a new home.

But he needed to do this mission...Daichi had his own duties and obligations so he thought deeper and then finally spoke. "Well, that's a sad story kid...But *Sigh* I guess...you kinda happened to be just as lucky as your luck has been bad lately...life is funny that way, and its why nothing is ever so hopeless that one should give up..." Daichi would make a slow walk forward reaching into his butt bag to grab one bag of sun flower seeds out. He handed them to the boy with a slightl smile and continued, "They are high in protien, cheap, and a good light snack to eat throughout the day...the smart people ted to say that the repetitious actions of cracking the shell, eating the seeds and discarding the refuse is the same understanding as Kung-fu: Hard work...It's healthy for mental thought, and keeping you spirit's in check, because you don't have too much time to think on things since your constantly busy chewing...its like preventing yourself from suffering the side effects of laziness even when your not doing much...Here eat up...You're going to need to think and build your spirit's up, because I can help you get revenge on those whom killed your parents if you know where they hide out at...Not only that, but I can teach you how to be strong if your willing to learn a few quick things...If you are serious about trying to keep going in life, I will even help you become a real ninja...that is if you want it bad enough..."

Daichi then held a hand up to the boy, "However...I am also looking for something myself...I need to find a village...a place called Mo in the land of fire...ever heard of that before?" Daichi said while taking out a ryo bag and then handing the kid a all of it. This would be for him because Daichi could always get more. This kid would need money to not only buy things but money too helped keep peoples spirits high. There was about 6k in the bag. Daichi lived a rich lifestyle in the district anyway, and had all the things he would need as a ninja for now. Then he looked at the kid's body and grimaced. " Here put this on too, it's your's..."Daichi would say taking his vest and hoody off. He handed the kid the hoody as it should be much to big for the kid and would be able to cover his lower genitals and keep him warm. Though Daichi kept the vest with his Falcon egg in it.

Daichi would now be wearing his vest, with guitar strapped to his back, and still the packaged sword under his left arm. He had his melody arm on the right arm, his charcoal pants still, and the black bandaged greaves. He would take his black bandage greaves off and wrap the kids feet up so he didn't have to walk barefoot. And so he just had black ninja boots on now. As well as the belt and headband on. He kept his butt bag though he felt like giving the kid some weapons.

[Tieren]

The boy listened as he heard the words that came from Daichi. He didn't interrupt him but when things were offered to him, he took the bag of sunflower seeds but looked at the rest of it and shook his head.

"Nah... I don't need all of that. I've lasted for awhile like this. Sure, it's difficult, but I'll manage. Go ahead and take care of your mission and maybe we'll meet again. Then we can go off and take care of some Grass Ninja to show them who not to mess with!"[/color] He said with a chuckle. He stabbed the bone sword into the ground and jumped off of the Llama's back. The kid then held out his hand. "Until then... The Village of Mo awaits you. It's in the land of Fire at the far end of the country, near Zojo-Ten Ocean. Its a bit of a trek, but I'm sure someone like you can make it."[/color]

He then climbed back onto the Llama's back and rested against her soft fur. "Til we meet again, fair Stone Ninja! ONWARD TARA!"[/color] He shouted. The Llama gave him a weird look before looking toward Daichi. The look she gave was one of 'I'm gonna kill this kid.' "Umm... Please?"[/color] He added before the Llama took off, taking the naked boy from Rain with her. Would they meet up with Daichi again? It was hard to say. But perhaps they would.

[dubcheck]

Daichi shrugged and kept his other things. A part of him said that this was useless then, and it seemed alot of people wanted his sunflower seeds.

...

It seemed sunflower seeds solved many problems. And in any event Daichi would nod to the kid and then wave at him saying, "Fare the well then kid...should you ever need a hand and run into me again, I'll always be willing to help you know...One day I'm gunna be a leader, so...you know I gotta be helpful...anyway thanks for the directions..." Daichi would say and gather his thing's and continue onwards to the land of grass. He would be fidgeting in his pocket, wondering about the condition and warmth of his egg. He wold keep it with him for the time being and make his way out into the bridge and beyond, destination grass, and then to fire.

The sun was going down however so not long on his journey into the grass country Daichi would have to find a tree, feed the swordsman's bird, and sleep through the night.
