Minako followed Heru outside and watched curiously as he layed down a metal board. It extended to twice its usual size. He gestured towards it for Minako to step onto it. She looked a little worried but quickly got over it when she thought about Yumika. "He flies around on this thing all the time, so surely it's safe.." Minako thought as stepped onto it.

"Brace yourself..." Heru said as he also stepped on. Within seconds Minako was whizzed into the air. Heru placed his hand on her back to stop her from falling, to which she was grateful. Minako definitely wasn't expecting it to be able to go so fast. The sound of the wind against her ears was deafening and the force of the wind against her face was making her eyes water, but she didn't want to close them.

Minako sensed as Heru emitted some chakra, surely to alert Yumika that they we're on their way. More than likely Tri and Sakuya would be with Yumika as well, Tri would be able to sense them comming and tell Yumika. Not before long the pair arrived close to where Yumika and Tri would be. "Heru...Set me down, I'm going the rest of the way on foot.." She instructed. When she had reached the ground she thanked Heru, then set off towards Yumika.

Dashing through the trees she knew she would catch up with them at any moment. "I hope nothing has happened.." She said outloud to herself as she kept moving towards them.

Chou opened her eyes from a deep sleep.
'I fell asleep? I didn't realise!' she said to herself.
She heard Sayuri talking. She listened closely.
"Ikaku," she said, "where are we going to go after this?"
"Not sure...Some villages are friendly to me...others...hate me as much as the Sound" Ikaku said "we may have to move soon though...this place is not very well hidden...and with the skill of Yumika, Minako and even the Ratajagon...we may have less time then i thought" Ikaku said his voice trembling under the weight of the thought of the upcoming battle. "In fact...we should move now...can you move?"
"Eh..."
Chou moaned.
"I might be able to." Chou responded to Ikakus question toward Sayuri.
She tried lifting her torso. It stwitched a bit and rose slowly.
"Pfft...Hope I can move my legs!" she mumbled.
She tried just lifting a leg, it came slowly up but fell back down in exhaustion.
"Maybe we should wait back here for a while, I'm still not fully repaired." she sighed.

"Well... If they are getting ready to make a run for it... we shoud make our move now" Yumika said as he stared at the entrance... He was still worried that what he was doing wasn't the right thing to do...

"Ok... I think the paralisis poisin Minako used should still be affecting the other two... So if me and you trap Ikaku and take him down together we can easily wrap this up with minimal efffort... I don't know whether we will need to kill him... But at this rate it may be our only choice..." Yumika said still staring at the entrance "We shall move when you are ready Tri..."

IN:
"Right, I'll go around the back and cut off their escape, make a commotion or attack from the front", said Tri, and without another word, he already sped off to the other side of the hideout, a simple house, but otherwise fragile. This shouldn't be too hard, cutting off their escape, all he had to do was make sure none of them passed him, and the last time he did grapling training, no one was able to pass him unless he threw them past him.

Minako frantically jumped from tree to tree trying to catch up with the others. Finally she could see a small opening and outlines of people. "Yes, I've caught up with them. Looks like they're still working out a plan..." Minako thought as she closed in.

As she got closer she decided to stop just before she got out of the forest and remained hidden in the trees. She was just close enough to be able to hear what they were saying but it was a struggle. "Looks like its just Yumi and Tri, I wonder where Sakuya is.." She whispered to herself as she watched the boys figure out their plan. "Looks like they'll make a move soon...Yumi~kun obviously didn't want me here so I guess i'll hang back just for now. Although Tri most probably knows I'm here and I'm sure Heru wont be far away..."

She stayed hidden wondering whether or not she should reveal herself just yet, it would probably make Yumika worry if she did. But on the other hand they may need her help, She was Ikaku's Sensei afterall she knew his tricks. She knew he had a temper and that he'd more than likely rely on his Genjutsu. If she didn't make eye contact she'd be fine. Plus if she did happen to get caught in it, Genjustu was ineffective on Tri. "*sigh* What should I do..." Minako moaned to herself.

Sayuri listened as Ikaku contemplated their situation. "In fact...we should move now...can you move?"
Chou managed to stand though somewhat shakily. Sayuri subconsciously held her breath as she tried to make her arms move. Her muscles just wouldn't respond to her. She tried again, and this time she managed to lift her hand slightly. After a few more attempts she was able to get herself into a position where she could rest on her elbows. But she could feel her efforts coming undone with each second that passed and, eventually, she fell onto her back, her eyes blinded by spots. She tried, yet again, and brought herself into a sitting position before she could go no further.
"I'm sorry." she said. "I can't move my legs at all, and everything else is very difficult to move." Sighing she slowly turned her head to face her companions. "I'm still so tired. I'll do my best to break out of this while we leave."

"Ok... Lets go" Yumika said and immediately Tri shot off to the back of the house...

Yumika drew his sword and went to the front of the house preparing to charge in... He took one breath and hardened his resolve then slipped through the door and saw Ikaku and his partners preparing to leave...

"You aren't going anywhere" Yumika said announcing his presence... "You will come with me and surrender or you shall die here" Yumika contnued bracing himself for the attack which he knew would come... He made sure he avoided Ikaku's eyes and watched the rest of his body using that to predict his next move...

[X.:.Scarlet.Mangekyou.:.X]

"You will come with me and surrender or you shall die here" Yumika announced. "tch....didnt anyone teach you to knock..." Ikaku said, getting up from the ground "I can see that Tri is going around back...lets hope he dosent fall prey to one of my traps, but back to the buisness at hand" Ikaku saw that Yumika was taking care to look away from his eyes. "ahhh, you learnt...but so have I" A shadow clone shot from a corner and latched his arms around Yumikas chest, pining his arms to his side. "always be aware of your surroundings...now..." Ikaku out a kunai and placed it at Yumikas neck "now...is there anyone else outside, hiding from my eyes?"

[Skymonkey]

"Heh... you think I would sell out my friends that easily huh..." Yumika said and spat in Ikaku's face... He than moved his head back violently and smacked the clone in the head causing its grip to loosen and Yumika forced his arms out and knocked Ikaku's kunai away with his sword...

He then disposed of the clone by stabbing it through the stomach causing it to disappear... He then calmed his mind and focused his senses so he could tell where attacks were coming from...

"You still have much to learn if you thought that was all it would take to get rid of me..." Yumika sighed... He prepared himself to dodge any attack Ikaku would come at him with... especially his juuken and Hyuuga style taijutsu...

[X.:.Scarlet.Mangekyou.:.X]

((ooc: Ichi, dont say OP OP OP!, because this was used by ikaku in the first one and noone had a problem, also fire and hyuga style dont take much chakra so Ikaku has alot of fight left in him))
Ikaku wiped the spit of his face. "Thats....it...." Ikaku shot from his postion and struck Yumika with a quick palm. Ikaku jumped backwards and reached under his pant legs, he realesed the leg weights and performed a few handsigns, placing his hand up to his mouth and blew a large amount of small balls of fire from his mouth "Fire release barrage of fire". Ikaku ran behind Yumika and went into a low Hyuga stance "Eight Trigrams: Palm barrage" Ikaku directed Yumika into the oncoming flames with his Hyuga strikes. Ikaku drew chakra into his final strike and hit Yumika, sending him flying into the wall.
