The Journey, The Fight, and The Unknown

[Rin]

"Something like that." the boy says looking up at the sky as though trying to hide somthing on his face. He sighs and looks at yoshi smirking. "they say he is of some importance still... though they dident say what

[Yoshi]

"Importance? I'm flattered. But, I think you're withholding something from us."

[Triona]

'Oh?'
Was all Nandini answered with. She was quickly becoming less and less optimistic that these two didn't have the single clue what was happening out in the woods. Let alone the danger they could be in.

'Well maybe I should be taking my leave...'
She said quietly and started to stand up.

[Yoshi]

"Oh, please, don't leave. I'm sure this boy jests. I know of no one who would want to do any harm to me, and even if there was someone, I'm sure I could handle them. Also, I enjoy your company, it would be a shame to lose someone as you, even if you are overly secretive and a little jumpy. Heh, for all I know, you could be one of the people the boy speaks of as capturing and pursuing him." Yoshimasa looked cheerful as he spoke and seemed highly confident.

[Rin]

The boy tilts his head to the side while watching them, a blank expression sitting upon his face. Slowly he moves into a standing position and walks up to yoshi staring at his lower arm. "im sorry" he mumbles

[Triona]

Nandinis' eyes flashed coldly as he mentioned being jumpy and overly secretive. Could a person not wear a cloak these days without being insulted?

She thought for a moment this might have been her over-sensitivity, but she was still a little angry that he had pointed out her unavoidable flaws.
'Is that so?'
She said in a frosty tone and moved off from the two, before sitting down and watching them carefully.
She could observe without communicating with these two irritating humanoids.

[Yoshi]

Yoshimasa puts his arm around the boy, "It's alright, you didn't do anything wrong. This young lady here just seems a bit crazy. Perhaps I have some form of soothing herb for her which will clear her head. It isn't her fault, after all.", Yoshimasa turned back towards Nandini, "You know, young lady, you would look a lot less suspicious if you would merely be a bit more relaxed. You've got the boy worried, and your questions are prying. So, why don't you come back over here and sit down so we can talk."

[Rin]

"you misunderstand my apology.... yoshi" the boy replys, his tone a bit more playful with a slight amount of viciousness in it. Yoshi had put him arm around the boy, something yoshi was about to learn was a very bad idea. The child opens his jaws wide, his canines looking slightly longer and much sharper then a normal humans as he bring them down biting deeply into yoshi's lower arm with a growling sound resonating from deep in this throat

[Yoshi]

Yoshimasa watched as the boy bit his arm, "Oh, my, so it was some silly trap? How amusing. But, that's painful. Let go.", he took his staff in his other hand and banged the boy across the back of his neck with considerable force while igniting a flare directly in his eye in an effort to get him to release his grip.

[Rin]

The boy winces slightly, biting in deeper then letting go "its not a trap... " he says in a blank voice, his eyes seeming to glaze over. Slowly he begins to walk into the forest, seeming to fade away as he goes

[Triona]

Nandini didn't reply to his offer. Her over-inflated pride would never allow it. Instead, she just watched with a disgruntled look, ready to snap out if he dared to speak to her again.

But she was forced to make a small noise of surprise after the boy viciously bit Yoshi-even after his show of affection.
Nandini frowned as he veered towards her to make it into the forest. She dodged her eyes at Yoshi again then back at the younger male who was passing through.

'Stop.'
She ordered in an authortive voice. A ripple ran through her cloak, and she suddenly pulled out a huge furred yellow arm. It seemed impossible for such a thing to be kept inside her cloak, but there it hovered, stopping the boy from going further.

[Yoshi]

"Thank you, young lady, now lets see if we can extract any reason from this crazy boy. I'm not sure I could have caught him on my own." Yoshimasa turns to the boy, "Alright, now you have some explaining to do. Let's hear it, why did you bite me and what on earth do you keep blathering on about?"

[Rin]

The boy smirks as he continues, he womans hand passing through him as though he were immaterial, judging by the fact that his body was now transparent however that would be a logical guess. "bye bye" giving them a backwords wave before vanioshing completely

[Yoshi]

"E-heh. What would you suppose we do, now? It seems that we have a boy of considerable power, two ninjas, and perhaps others sharing the forest with us. All of which seem to be interested in killing or capturing me. Do you want to stay with me? Or do you want to go try to brave these woods alone, with these people about?" Yoshimasa could not entirely disguise his confusion and surprise from recent events as he said this, but he did his best.

[Triona]

Nandini blinked and then frowned as he passed through her solid arm.

'What... unless the cloak's magic wore off. He shouldn't been able to do that unless he was truely transparent.'
Confused, she glanced behind her to the vanishing boy.

'So it seems.'
She answered grudgingly, not at all happy to be left alone with tea-man. Turning back to Yoshi, she began to stand up.

'Well... I suppose I don't have a choice do I?' She then answered, disguising any hurt pride she experienced with agreeing.

Making a small, angry noise, she took out her other arm from her cloak then pulled down the hood of her cloak. Preparing to ignore whatever stares she got from him, she glanced behind her again.

Her deep red eyes barely seemed to move as she glanced over the forest.

'Vanished... totally gone.' She muttered under her breath.
