Tsume was dragged out of his tent ,holding a bag in his hand, by the collar of his shirt by Kyoumou's jaws. "Good Morning" he said/yawned to the group as he was dragged out and dropped as soon as Kyou realised he was awake. "OW! I mean, Im Ready!" he said tiredly as he rose to his feet.

So in the end we're not compitent enough to deliver papers to my own country? Or maybe...smoeone high up doesn't trust us? Oh well, all right then, let's go! Make sure you follow well, because I'm leading. Soya put himself in a sprinting pose, then sprung with all his might forwards, almost getting out of sight in mere seconds.

"You learned under Toki Ta'lai...No-one he has come in contact with is fully trusted." The ANBU's headed titled downwards and it's hood slid further down, completely obscuring the mask. Rose yawned loudly before cracking her knuckles. "Well then, let's go. No sense standing around."

"Oh so thats how its gonna be neh Soya-sensei? We'll just see!" Tsume muttered to himself before hitching a leash to the vest Kyoumou was wearing, it was rare that Tsume ever put it on him, and when it was on it wasn't visible becasue of the contrast with his fur. He took a soldier pill out of his pouch and threw it to Kyoumou. "OK KYOU! MUSH!" and Tsume and Kyoumou were off behind Soya, Tsume allowing his feet to slide along the ground with the aid of 2 kunais strapped to the bottoms of his feet.

Toki Ta'lai? Who is that? Kage perked an eyebrow as he made his way forward, curious at the mentioning of the name. Though the monotonous tone of Hawk-Eye's voice suggested that the person was either some sort of traitor, or was someone very powerful, whether physically or politically. As he walked he formed several hand seals, once again summoning his shadow clone. Upon the raven-skinned clones arrival he recieved a mental link to watch their flank, and remain out of sight.
With that, the clone melted away, and Kage joined Rose's side. "We might wish to make haste, if we're to keep up with Soya's hasty pace." Whether it was a suggestion or came out as an order, it was a good idea none the less.

It was a relatively quick run for them, and they managed to make it to the eastern shore by 10:00 am. The team came out of the clearing into a small bussling town. The harbour was abuzz with activity, ships coming and going, some new, some old. The main downtown square was filled with shops, one of which read "Ai Ramen Shouten". Soya pointed it out. That's the place we're eating until the ship comes, the Lovely Ramen Shop. Cliched, yes, but it's still a worthy meal. Go at your own convenience, we'll meet up at the ship. You'll know it, it's a big ship with blue sails and a white flag. It should be here in fifteen minutes, so make sure to eat fast! This time Soya merely meandered into the town, rather than bursting off at the speed of which he started back at the camp. On his way he half-shouted to the ANBU, And I've no idea what you' were talking about Toki for. He's dead, I saw him get done in myself. Talon and Kinu, for what I know, followed suit.

Rose sighed heavily and walked off down a nearby street, obviously looking at some souveneirs to buy. Hawk-Eye walked alongside Soya to the Ramen Shop. "It has been reported that he was spotted earlier today. It was always assumed that his death was false, and after exhuming the body it was concluded to be so. Miyako The Crusher threw a tree at him, supposedly hit him...and then he disappeared. Miyako was drunk at the time, so it is unsure whether or not it was Toki." As they stepped into the Ramen shop Hawk-Eye quickly veered off to the right and grab a table big enough to suit everyone, in the corner with a window view of the harbour.

I'm sorry, but I'm fairly sure that Toki's dead said Soya as he sat down. How could anyone even be sure it was him? Well, let's not speak of it, it's not suitable meal time conversation. Soya snapped his fingers and whistled, and a waitress came over hurriedly. Soya! Unsanmushou Soya! Why, we haven't seen you since a few months ago! ... The woman took a silver tray and bashed it over his head. And why not! After you and that girl ate so much, you left half the bill! OUCH! Well sorry! We were in a hurry, and we used up nearly all of our money! Besides, I can pay you back now! I was planning it! All right then! You left this much ryou, you owed this much...
The waitress started writing some figures down. Aaaaaand including interest-- Interest?! And the money for that plate you just ruined-- I RUINED?! It comes to...this much, thank you! She handed over the slip of paper very as-a-matter-of-factly, and Soya nearly jumped out of his chair. Dammit, if I wasn't in the business for more enemies... Soya dug into his pocket and took out some crumpled money. There! Now can we please eat? The woman counted each piece thoroughly and shoved it in her apron. Very well then, you're all payed up! Suddenly she was more bubbly and happy. Welcome to the Ai Ramen Shouten! I see you've already gotten yourselves a table, what'll it be for you this morning? Just beef for me, thanks...Hopefully I won't get to meet up with that one woman who we had to trick into giving what we did pay last time...

"I'll have a cup, and a kettle of boiling water please." Hawk-Eye nodded to the door as she spoke. Rose had just entered and spotted them, walking over with a small bag of knick-knacks. She leapt over Soya, twirled in the air, and did a small flip before landing perfectly on her seat. "I give my graceful entrance...a five point five. And I'll have the breakfast special, wit the fried egg on it, please."

"Ramen...." Kage muttered to himself, joining Soya and Hawk-Eye at "Ai Ramen Shouten". The place looked pretty decent for a ramen shop, and all the people who worked there seemed very welcoming in appearance. Though it was rather surprising when a waitress smashed a plate over Soya's head.
Kage almost stood up to defend his sensei when the two seemed to chat like they already knew eachother. After the conversation was done and overwith the group was asked what they wanted. Soya asked for the usual, the anbu asked for a cup and boiling water, and Rose; after a graceful entrance, ordered the breakfast special.
"I'll just have Chicken Ramen, please." he said, placing his blade comfortably beside him.

The waitress jotted down the orders and walked off as another waitress walked over and sat down in a chair. So, is this everyone? Usually it's just you and Naomi, but this time you come with a Konoha nin, a Mist ANBU, and a Shadow nin? Are you sure that there's anyone else you haven't told me about? Oh, right, I forgot you were working here today. Well, I'll tell you everyone; from who you noted, it's Rose, "Hawk-Eye" as we've been told to call him...her...it, then Kage.
Actually we've got another two Konoha with us, Tsume and Kyoumou, though I've no idea where they've run off to... Pleased to meet everyone, I'm Aikan, one of Soya's friends-- from the Mist. Yeah, I forgot that she was helping her friend, the owner, today since he was underhanded. She lives on the first floor of my apartment and is one of my oldest friends. She'll make it there before us since she gets one of the nice boats. Since no boating agency will take me, we're going to be considered cargo! Soya gave a forced laugh as though he himself weren't bummed by it.

Kyoumou dragged his feet into the shop a few minutes later, Tsume perched up on his back. They reacjed everyone else and Kyoumou collapsed underneath him."Sorry we're late, Kyoumou got us lost" As he spoke, Kyoumou got a sudden burst of energy and stood up growlong a Tsume with bared teeth. "ARGH!! IM SORRY!" He shouted and hurredly and leapt behing Soya. "TAKE HIM!"

As Tsume stood behind Soya, the food came. Well that's the good thing about this place; they make it quick. The waitress handed everything out as Aikan left to get her things and leave. She gave everyone what they ordered, but she gave Soya two bowls. Oh, right, Naomi's not here. Well, have it anyways, I suppose I did kinda leave a sting in your wallet. Aw, why thank you! Don't get any ideas! If I don't find money on the table THIS time, we're hiring Konoha to kill you off. The waitress walked off. God, I hope she's joking... He remembered Tsume and Kyoumou, finally. Well how about this; Here Tsume, have mine. He handed the bowl over, but at the last second, jerked it away. And Kyou, you can have Tsume's. He placed the bowl down near the growling Kyoumou, quite carefully. And here Tsume, you can actually have mine this time. I spent too much time talking, so I've gotta get to the ship now, anyways. Soya stood up and half-dashed to the door. Make sure to bring me back something, and for the love of god, PAY!
((eat and leave to the new topic))

Approximately a month after these events... Rose yawned loudly while she flipped through a magazine. She was lazing around in a hammock by the lake, with two trees she had uprooted and moved closer to the water. Moments later she tossed the magazine across the lake, obviously bored. She sighed loudly before yelling out, "Yo! Soyaaaaaaaaaaa! Any news on our old students yet?"
