Bridge's Edge

Tsumi smiled. "you sure?" he asked. "we could get into a lot of trouble...or well i could.."

"I can take them... Besides, this is a good way to practice my techniques...."

Tsumi smiled. "Well then lets go!" he said with a small laugh as he lifted the hood on his outfit to cover his face before he began walking towards the gates of darkness.

Kaoru laughed and performed several hand signs. "Kamaitachi.... Stealth..." she adapted her body to the wind so that she won't easily be sensed by physical senses.

Not paying attention for some time Qutio looks off in the direction in which Daisuke had pointed. "Hmm...." She quickly makes handsigns and infuses her green chakra around her feet before taking off in a fast run headed back towards the Darkness Village.

He quickly turned to Qutio, his sharingan quickly focusing on her. He dashed after her, infusing chakra into his feet so he could keep up with the kunouchi.

Kaoru slowly walked across the bridge, trying to get to Darkness. "D-Damn... That was some fight with Yakate.... What the heck happened?"

Seems like his bijuu took over him... Hey, kid, is your arm alright?

"Kazetori..." she chuckled and shook her head. "It's not alright, of course... I can't even feel anything... and since when did you care?"

Hmmph... Just don't want anyting happening to my host...

Walking across a path that intersected the bridge, Raina was walking at a rather slow pace. She was very deep in thought of how to improve that jutsu, and make it last. She heard faint talking and raised her head, brushing her red bangs from her vision she saw a young girl. "Oh.. a child.." Then she noticed the wounds inflicted upon the girl and gaspsed, her pace quickened. "Oh my! Are you okay?!" She yelled as she got closer.

"Oh... H-Hi...." she waved and held her side. "Aagh... that guy really fought hard...." she winced and fell down on her knees. Her left arm was just dangling and itseems like it was not able to move and a bit swollen. "H-Hey... know any hospitals around?"

"Oh. Um. The nearest hospital is Akumugakure, but.." Raina knelt beside the girl and took her arm, having stored chakra in her palm she began to mend the arm muscles and bone. "I'm the Akumugakure's best medic." ^^

"Oww... Y-You don't need to nurse me if you can't... I'm from Yamigakure.... And, umm... please keep a secret? You might... see it anyways... oww.." she held her stomach and winced. "Kaze...tori... take it easy..."

Raina just smiled, having already known about the bijuu and their hosts, she was not suprised. "Tis quite alright. I'm here to serve everyone. And I'm an accomplished medic so I can fix anything." She winked and focused on repairing her arm.

"I'm just a student..." she closed her eyes and smiled. "Can't you beleive it? A bijuu being sealed in me? I mean... o-oww... take it easy there, miss..." she bit her lip and just tried to last.

"S-sorry." She slowed down the chakra mending and started making handseals, she placed her palm on the child's forehead. Chakra flowed through her and to the various cuts and brusies on the girl's body. "There we go."

"Thank you..." she stood up and smiled. "I feel a lot better now...." she looked down and sighed. "Could you keep a secret about my bijuu? I don't want people trying to kill me... I'm still a student...."

Raina's ever present smile faded, "Why would anyone want to kill you? You're a pleasent young girl, a student no less." She brushed her fingers through her red bangs and sighed. "I guess this world has gone mad.."

"It has gone mad.... my friend... he attacked me... he did this to me... I had to travel all the way from Time...."

Raina's eyed widened. "What? How cruel!" She clenches her fist and folds her arms over her chest, angry. "Don't worry, I won't tell a living soul."

She smiled and then nodded at her. "Here... take this as a token of my appreciation..." she gave her a small diamond shard. "I found it when those ice spires broke... I just saw something shimmer in the air as I slashed those spires and here you go... I hope it helps..."

Laria smiled and accepted the diamond shard, folding her hand over it. "Now," She looked at the girl. "You better be more careful when it comes to fighting okay? Don't need dead students ya know?" @_@;

"It was just supposedly a bijuu control test... Then things got, umm... kinda out of hand for that guy...." she giggled and then looked at her. "You won't have another dead student.... I promise..."

Laria bit her thumbnail, a habit she performs when she thinks. (Maybe I should look into this situation..) She closed her eyes and sighed, looking at the girl. "What's your name child?"

"Kaoru... Kaoru Arashi..." she smiled and extended her hand for a handshake. "And you are?"

She smiled, "A fragrant storm? Such a lovely name." ^^ Laria took her hand and shook it gently. "My name is Laria, but you may call me Raina is you wish."
