ooc: yay! DarkKyuubi is back again!!!! WEEEE.....LOL.....yea I didnt get enough sleep last night so im a bit loopy.

Ayame listened to what Kaito was saying. "Your not comeing with us?" she said in an almost depressed voice. First raika had up and disapeared, now kaito was going to leave? "No..why? Please! Stay with us...the mission was a total bust anyway.." Ayame felt pittiful. She was litteraly begging him to stay, but at the same time she was giving up. She looked at Kale "Please tell me your going to come...I dont want to be alone..." ayame was almost in tears. She felt as though her past was repeating. She was scared to be alone again.

After sitting in a chair for several minutes Raika was finally bandaged up. "Your such an idiot...Why didn't you yell for help or something?" Mamoru asked. "I-uh....Never mind.." Raika said as he stood up. "Well...What ever. I have something for you." Mamoru said with a smile. "Whats that?" Raika asked curiously. Looking around. Mamoru reached into his pocket and tossed Raika a Hidden Storm headband. Raika looked up at him and smiled. "I want you to be my right-hand man in all this villages decisions." Mamoru explained. Raika smiled as he put the Hidden Mist headband in his pocket. He quickly tied it behind his head and looked up. Mamoru was already wearing his. Raika smiled. "Welcome to your new home." Mamoru said with a grin. "Hmm...I wonder. I want to check if my friends are ok." Raika said. Mamoru nodded. "Go ahead, but leave a few clones back here for defence incase those Ninja attack." Mamoru answered. "Ok, there are already 8 out there. Still need more?" he asked. "Just 2 more for safety." Mamoru answered. Raika nodded and formed a seal. 2 more clones quickly appeared and smiled. In unison they all said. "READY!". The real Raika opened the door. The 2 clones jumped down the street and the real Raika hopped towards the destiniation where his friends were last. Mamoru smiled as the 3 took off. "I feel so horrible for what I did to my own brother....But...The years of searching finally paid off."Mamoru thought.

Kale glanced over at Kaito then back to Ayame who seemed even more saddened by Kaito's last words. He had an almost questioning look but soon returned to his usual expression. He didn't want to speak due to his still scratchy voice, so he rested his right hand on Ayame's shoulder. He almost spoke but couldn't seem to find the words. The truth was, he didn't know how to comfort someone, what to say. He would have smiled, but he just couldn't get himself to do so. So instead, he nodded, as if to say, 'Yes, I'll be joining you'.

Ayame, about to cry, was still looking at kale. He placed his hand on her shoulder and nodded as though to say he was still going with her. He must not know what to say she though. Ayame was feeling alittle better just in knowing that one of her friends wasnt going to leave her, and she couldnt help but turn and hug kale. It was an odd reaction but she realy couldnt help it. After she finished hugging him she turned back at kaito. She still wanted him to come but if he wouldnt change his mind there was no stopping him. "Kaito I want you to come but if you not going to I guess this is goodbye." Ayame said. Then she gave kaito a quick hug and turned in the direction the message had said to go. "Come on kale." she said as she bounce off.

Raika had already been hopping around for about an hour. He was sure this was the way to the hidden wave village. He could feel presences in the distance. Not well, but he knew others were there. He stopped and hopped towards that direction. He stopped at a near by bush and looked out. He found his friends just in time to see Ayame leap away. He jumped from the bush. "AYAME! KALE!! KAITO!!" He shouted happily. He ran out. "AYAME! COME BACK!" He said. Several bandages still on his body from 2 days before. He smiled. Happy to be with his friends.

[Darkaoz]

Kale's eyes widened a bit when Ayame hugged him. He stood there, frozen, again, not knowing what to do. When she separated from the embrace he relaxed his body. He listened to her goodbyes to Kaito and was about to leap off with Ayame. But, he heard a voice. Raika's. He turned around and saw him, bandages and all.
Raika?! he thought with an almost stunned look on his face.

[Naomi]

Ayame layed on the breaks and spun around. "Raika?!?! RAIKA ITS YOU!!!!" she screamed with joy as she sped back in the direction of the others. When she got to them she jumped and hugged raika still talking excitedly. "Were have you been? what have you been up to? you had us worried!" Then she seporated from the hug. "By the way is it true you have been with a village? and what village is it? Oh my god I missed you...Are you realy ok?" Finaly ayame had run out of breath and just decided to shut up. She had thoroughly confused herself and finaly just said "Oh forget all of that....Im just glad your ok." Ayame was grinning from ear to ear, then her happiness was cut alittle short. All of the friends were back together but was kaito still going to leave? She just looked at him hoping he might change his mind now.

[GenjutsuGaara]

OoC: Welcome back Naomi! =D

Raika smiled to Kale before he was mauled by Ayame and bombarded with questions. "In answer to all of the questions you just asked...Yes." He said. Raika pointed to his shiny new forehead protector. "Im officially a Hidden Storm village and a missing Nin." He said with a grin. "So whats been happening here?" He asked curiously.

[Naomi]

"Well after you disapeared kaito decided he was going to look for you and wanted kale and I to just go back to the leaf village. Instead we fallowed him and when we couldnt find you we made camp and decided we would keep looking in the light." ayame stopped to think for a moment "Then we got the message that was on the crow. We were all releived to know you were ok and kale and I were going to fallow the directions and find you." Ayame got a bit more of a quiet tone, the next thing she had to say was a bit more saddening. "Kaito is going to finish the mission though...he isnt going to come with us...." Ayame hated the thought of any of her friend leaving, but she still had raika and kale. "So" she said brightening up "This hidden storm village...by any chance do you need more ninja? Im not actualy with the leaf village ya know..." Ayame felt that it was about time for her to give up alittle more info on her past. " The leaf wasnt even my original village they just took me in, and the only reason I didnt get killed for quitting ANBU was because the hokage loved me and helped me fake my death. I could never go back to stay...so im free to join you if im needed..." Ayame was still keeping the majority of the details to herself but she was starting to open up.

[GenjutsuGaara]

Raika never took his eyes off of Ayame. He listened intently to her words. After she finished he approached Kaito. "Kaito, Your a great person, friend and ally. It was an honor to be able to serve with a ninja as powerful and quick minded as you. I have a gift." Raika reached into his right pocket and pulled out a headband. It was his Hidden Smoke headband. "I want you to have this. As a token of our friendship and bond." He tied around Kaito's arm. He smiled. He turned back to Ayame. "So the Hokage loved you and helped fake your death huh?" Raika said intruiged. "We do need more ninja. The village itself is tiny but developing quickly." He answered. He then looked at Kale. "What about you? What village are you even from?" He asked curiously. Raika looked around. The sun was high in the sky with only a few clouds passing. "Well...Im ready to go if you both are." He said putting his hands in his pockets. He smiled at Kaito once more and was ready to take his seperate way from him. "Hey Kaito...If anyone asks. Tell them I died in the line of duty will ya?" He asked with a grin.
