Welcome to Gaia! ::

Looking down at the kitten Kohane sighed slightly patting it's head lightly. "I suppose it would be helpful" she muttered looking to Tayu. She was tired tho it wasn't a lie that she needed a little downtime to recover her chakra.

Nowe rolled his eye's at Kiri, "yeah yeah....you start getting dizzy and I'm taking you back to the leaf myself, no matter how many times you cut me with the wind." He muttered.

Over the course of the next few days, things remained a bit queit. More merchants and archeologists came to the area, eager to study and sell. Eventually, the place became like a small little town. All the while, more villages sent their own squads to the neutral territory.

Nowe glanced over at a couple of mist ninja, whom had been following a shady looking merchant the whole day. I don't like this....villages can barely get along in their own lands..how do they propose to share this place? He thought.

"It wouldn't kill you to make some new friends you know, take those Mist Ninja for example, I know they happen to be killer Shogi Players. So I ask them to help me improve my game, and in exchange I help them with a few things here and there. We can all share this place if we just make nice and pal around, the key word is deterrence, we don't start stuff then they won't." Zane said happily from behind Nowe and Kiri

A cloaked figure wearing a typical conical hat walked by the group of ninja. Shadows of birds passed overhead. It stopped for a moment and glanced at Nowe, before continuing on. It paid no mind to the others.

Sitting cross legged Kohane sat upon a pillar that was over looking the area where the ninja and archeologist worked side by side in. Her eyes were closed tho a slug sat upon her shoulder. There was one on each Archeologist that surveyed thru the area that went down into caves or into places that may be dangerous. So far with there help many deadly injuries had been prevented. The strain tho from doing this several days was easily showing on Kohane. Sweat beaded up on her forehead and her eyes were slightly sunken. Her body had been being helped by her medical knowledge and several medicines she had made to increase her chakra to level's close to a jinchuriki.

Standing against a tree Kyo held Tsumi's cat on his shoulder. He wasn't sure where she was but currently seemed to have been placed on guard duty over a few archeologists who were working in a forested section of the ruins. The past few day's had been uneventful aside from the new arrivals from other villages. A few of the ninja girl's that had come from different villages were cute but were to old by the looks to even pay him any mind even after a few attempts.

The figure began taking turns and speeding up, before going into a secluded area and speeking with a similar figure, exchanging scrolls and weapons, one of which being a large exploding tag scroll. They knew no one would be around, so they casually performed their buisness.

((Thinking that I'm gonna have to make another character so Zane has someone to love. X3 ))

"Well he's certainly being very weird. Oh well, I guess I'll go check out some other the other cute girls that showed up" Zane said with a chuckle before walking away.

(Maybe Zane should try going after Tayu. lol.)

Tayu jumped silently onto the top of a tree near where Kohane was sitting. She knew her friend would hear the rustle of the leaves and the sound would warn her before she spoke. "You look tired, Kohane-chan," Tayu said softly. She was pretty tired herself. She'd been looking for Tsumi for the past few days, but the genin seemed to have disappeared completely.

Kin was in one of the caves with a group of archaeologists. She also had a slug on her shoulder, but she didn't need it as much as the archaeologists might. Either way, Kohane hadn't accepted "no" for an answer when Kin had tried to tell her that she'd be fine without the slug, and the older jonin got stuck with it anyway. It worried her that the girl, although a sanin, was expending so much energy. Kohane was still a part of her team, and would feel responsible if Kohane exhausted herself.
