the path to back to Aurora

As they are nearing the end of the desert, Hayate looks over at Kiba and says. "We have to go through the village of Aurora where we will catch a ship back to the demon lands. Just follow my lead and we should be fine." Upon saying that he wasnt completelycertain to the truth of his statement. Ashi had returned and though he seemed to have calmed, that one could become volatile in the time it took for a heart beat.

They traveled through the mountains and through the trees. Going up one mountain and down another. Finally they had reached the last one and they can see the village of Aurora.

Breaking free of the harsher sands that were kicknig up now, Kiba nodded, as Akumaru barked loudly after Chizuru spoke, following right behind him, keeping his pace in keeping up through the new terrain. Everything around them seemed so familiar, but all so new. Kiba decided to take in everything and try and remember it for a later moment, never know when you might need to find a new path out?

"A boat huh? This is becoming a long but slow journey it seems. But I guess its worth it." Kiba began to to plot out random things in case something does go wrong. And keeping a close eye out for any whom he may remember from there "past".

Reikon was perched like a lifeless gargoyle on a boulder high above the others. Looking down he spoke, as if finally coming out of his statue like manner.

We don't need to take the boat from aurora. We can continue through the mountains until we reach the Fang Mountains in my country. It's dangerous, as I'm sure there are still bandits around, but nothing we can't handle. We must be cautious though, since this is where I sensed Itachi.

OOC: Damnit did it again XD. Ok this time it WONT happen again. lol sorry.

Ashi watched everyone as they examined and watched for danger. He on the other hand was actually somewhat hoping for it he noticed. "I was bored by myself, now, I'm bored with the rest." He walked up closer to the woman who spoke to him earlier. Her dark hair being kicked up in the wind. His eyes wandered over her in an examining way. This Benehime woman was very interesting indeed. More interesting then the others in the party, at least to him she was.

Finally, he jumped forward and landed beside her. "I don't think I know you. Tell me your name." He said with a smirk. In doing this, his face seemed to become more calm looking with hidden shadows all around it. He actually wanted to know Benehime's name.

Benehime glaced at the man. She hated to be ordered around...Especially with someone like Ashi, who didn't think enough before acting. Or who couldn't hide his lust for blood or power. Though, he seemed powerful and he wasn't unpleasant to look at, she had to admit. And maybe he could be a good asset to have on her side.
She knew him. Well, had heard of him. Probably because he had left survivors behind him or let people watch him kill his opponents. She also knew it wasn't surprising he didn't know about her because she wasn't known by the world or, at least not that much. Since no one ever survived her attacks well enough or to remind her or to be able to tell about her.

In a split of a second, her eyes and face looked charming and she answered to him with a polite smile:
"I have no profit into telling you my name, Ashi. Neither do you, right?"
And on those words, she took her eyes off him and kept walking, her neutral face up again and her piercing black eyes rived on Hayate.
The young woman would be sure to ask him for some nice red eyes of an Uchiha...

He watched her give him an answer with a charming demeanor. He had to hand it to her, she was good at playing the pleasant role, but that neither fooled nor pleased Ashi at all. He perfered women with a more dangerous look. Must be why he rarely got any interests now these days. Then, as she looked away, he had his usual urge to do more, but like usual, he didn't. Instead, he smiled a brilliant smile (a fake smile), and it lit up his face to show every charming feature. "I see. Then my reasons for not knowing your name is confirmed. I have no reason to hear of a weakling. No matter how lustrious she may be. Women along that area tend to have few purposes for me. Though, the ones they are useful for are pleasurable..." He smirked again. "Most tend to give out too quickly." Intending to leave it at that, he leaps forward and lands a ways ahead so as to see what lies before them.

As the group started to move across the mountains back to the demon lands, Hayate picks up a weird chakra signature in the direction of Aurora. The signature seems similar to the ones of these travelors in a way but just like each of them, slightly different. He wanted to ignore it but it was bugging him. "I am heading towards Aurora for a bit. Reikon I am certain you can lead them back and I will catch a fairy from there. There is something I want to check out...."

Hayate then tends from the group and starts towards Aurora village again. Maybe if this trip wont be a total waste. If he cant find the signature he is looking for, maybe he can catch an Uchiha running around. That would mak his day completely, but he doubted he could be that fortunate. He continues on his way and the signature is leading him to the rainbow glaciers.

Benehime turned towards her companion, almost hissing at Ashi and glared at him with her pit dark eyes, which were now cold as the night.
"You know...I might be stronger than you. All my victims actually died, at the contrary of yours."
She smirked and turned away from him again and said on a sweet tone:
"I interrogated one of those poor fools you half killed, just to get some more information about your where abouts for my village. That poor person screamed so hard and his dead eyes were so nice to look at after he resurfaced from the endless nightmare I made him go through...It was sad you couldn't enjoy his screams and the blood he cried."
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and watched Hayate walk away, still smirking.
"It was a shame you couldn't see the nice spectacle, Ashi..." she added with a sigh.

She kept walking next to Reikon, holding an eye on Kiba, Shino, Tsunade and Hinata, who was still unconscious. The black haired girl was beautiful, she thought. Like Tsunade. Shino was...nothing in paritcular and Kiba was still a kid. Nothing interesting in fact. If Reikon wanted to, they would all die there, in the mountains, far from their home and world...
But, following Reikon was a better idea and there was more profit into doing so. Besides, she was having fun at the moment, especially with scaring the hell out of the "hostages".
"Say, Reikon-san, what if there wasn't any possibility to bring them back to their own time period? What are we going to do with them?" she asked seriously. "Or better question: what is supposed to happen with us if they can't return to their time period?"

Smirking as he landed and heard what Benehime had to say, he spoke softly. "Reason for their survival was so to spread my name you whelp. Besides, it's fun to turtore people to the extent of where they're always looking over their shoulders from then on." He looked back at the others but specifically Benehime. She was a nice piece of eye-candy, but she may be a little too self-absorbed to be of any use to him. "All well." He said as he shrugged and thought. All the more reason to toy with her and see.

Reikon had been looking back and forth as the two spat curses at each other. He was feeding off the animosity, enjoying it as if it were a nice cold beverage on a hot summer day. He cackled slightly then nodded to the others.

We'll be arriving in my country soon. Alittle under an hour. One we get to my village Sakura is at the hospital. I suggest you see here there and tend to Hinata. It seems there is a Sannin waiting for my audience. I will be busy talking with him.

OOC: Ok damnit guess what I did again that I said I wouldn't do. Seriously thats the last time I promise. While I'm here though that was the signal for every to post at the next location which would be the Mountains in demon country.

Shino comes up bringing up the rear, carrying Hinata. His destruction bugs have not picked up any traces of being persued or any other unexpected events. The trip was seeming to go quite smoothly but there escort were deffinitly a shady bunch for certain. This new female didnt help ease his feelings either but it was good to see her keep the one named Ashi under control. He heard that they were nearing the border of demon country and soon the trip would be over,.


OOC: I am finding your problem utterly hilarious Reikon. I mean I have been trying to keep two characters in this same scene under control and truthfully surprised I havent mixed them up. XD

OOC:I created the next topic to post in. Its in demon country in the fang mountains.
