Welcome to Gaia! ::

San almost lunged, but was held back by Nii. "Don't. Dumbass."
He pulled out a cigar, clipping the tip off with a kunai and lighting it. "First off, it might interest you to know that thanks to a little bit of trickery we've got a video representation of exactly what happened in the Kage's office. Just an F.Y.I." He pulled deeply on the cigar, blowing a cloud of smoke into the air. "Second, we also know all about Kamo Kagura. Third, we'd be willing to not completely ruin you by releasing this information to the late Kage's wife, in exchange for a little bit of compensation. So in short, we're blackmailing you and believe me when I saw there is very little that you can do about it."

He laughed. It was not a joyful sound, but something altogether bone-chilling and disquieting. A lesser nin than Osamu and the five surrounding them might have flinched. "He knew you might try something like this." He reached up, untying his headband and removing it. "You have no friggin' idea who you're dealing with." He looked up, revealing five dark blue eyes, each with a spiral-like pupil, all five spinning rapidly, producing a hypnotic effect. Almost instantly the five ninja collapsed under the effects of the Hypnotic Gaze, each under the impression that nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

"Nii... can I kill him now? Pleassse..."

"No can do, freakazoid." He smiled, none of his eyes focused on Osamu, but he spoke to him just the same. "Like I said before, we don't wanna cause harm. All we want are blueprints of some of the same stasis pods you might've used to produce your little experiments. Hand 'em over, and we'll put this whole thing behind us, ne? We'll never bother you again, scouts' honor and all that s**t."

He smiled. "See, we can be reasonable people. As for Kamo, he's doing well. I'm sure that whatever expectations you might have had for him, he's far exceeded them. His cell-manipulative abilities have become quite an asset to our Taichou..."

He grinned, putting his cigar out on the wall, and pulled out a few scrolls. A few moments later, and the tanks disappeared in puffs of smoke, and he stowed the scrolls.
"Thanks muchly. San, we're leaving." He smiled, readjusting his headband over the top three eyes. "Also, there's this tiny little last thing:"
He formed a single hand-seal. "You won't be remembering any of this, and neither will your ninjas." Osamu would fall over, unconscious.
"Alright San, remember where Go said the security thing would be. Raid the b***h and we're out of here."

When Osamu walked into the lab, everything was fixed and organized like before. "Good job men. Now set up the table and....hand me the jar of our latest achievement." He turned to Lillia who was behind him. "You will be given a special eye. Please lay down and relax."


Lillia nodded and walked towards the table as she looked around. "You have a bunch of neat stuff here. I think I may like this village." She layed down. "I may make this my second home."


Osamu put on his lab coat and glasses. "Yes, I guess you can say I'm a collector of sorts." He walked up to her with a machine.

"So. What kind of 'eye' am I going to be getting?"

Osamu moved the machine up to her and place a mask over her face. "An eye that will make you unstoppable." The gas will begin to enter the mask, knocking Lillia out. "Okay. Let's get this operation over with."


***Operation****


After several hours, Lillia would wake up in a empty room. Her vision would be hazy. "Huh? Where is everybo-Ow!" Sharp pain went through her right eye. "What the hell?" She slowly brought her hand up to her eye and lghtly touched it. A eye bandage would cover her eye. When she looked down, she could see blood around her.


"So. How are you feeling?" Out of the shadow, Osamu came, lab coat covered with blood. "Your little genjutsu wored off after a couple hours ago." He moved up to her. "For such a young girl to catch me in a genjutsu. You must be a very unique girl. You should still be unstable so I won't have to worry about anything you try to pull." He grabbed her staff, which leaned across the table. "I did some testing on this staff also. Very interesting indeed. I see I underestimated you."


Lillia was shaking in fear. "W-what are you going to do to me?"

Osamu moved his hand slowly across her face. "No need to be afraid child, for I applaud you for such tactics. It's good seeing such a young girl with some wit upon her." He layed the staff down next to her. "When you are ready you can leave but you will come back whenever I need you. As far as I'm concerned, you are part of Cloud. You may wonder around as much as you'd like but your loyalty belong to us first and others second. Their our secrets inside that eye which I control. Do not make me reveal them."

Lillia sat there quiet. Still a bit woozy but her head starting to clear up. "I...I guess so."

"Oh child, you don't have the choice." He turned around and started to walk back to his office. "We will be meeting again."

Lillia waited until he was gone to get up. She still had the pain of the surgery but ignored it while she hurried out of the lab. On her way out though she stopped. A figure inside of tank, watching her closely. "Who...are you?" The girl just looked at her in a sad and warning experession. "Lillia kept her eyes on her but began walking out. She stumbled and ran out the door. This was the most terrifying experience she ever had.

Kohina was meditating with her third eye showing bright. She sat with her legs crossed and a unique handsign.
