The waves crashing against the rocky shore.

[Moongem]

He scoffed at her, "Well, you need one, everyone has one! Its the latest thing." He said, obviously trying to joke. He turned away from, still walking along side her, just looking away. He lifted his arms into a modest shrug, "You know, it's gonna be a bummer working with you, Kara-Kara, no kind of rise at all..." He said in a sarcastic tone. He looked at the bird and spoke in a quiet tone, whispering to it, "Feathers... is she always so depressing?"

[Rinko]

"Hmm." Was what escaped her lips. One might say it was close enough to a chuckle. Kurai looked at Rezio, and expanded his chakra into Reizo's ears, to his brain. His voice, a calm, young male voice said, "Actually... Yes. She can be quite the drag, but she just never has much to say. She talks to me a lot, but I'm sure you can bring her out of her shell. Oh, yes. I am actually talking to you, by the way. This is how Karasu-chan and I communicate. Which.. is why she never talks."

[Moongem]

Reizo flinched as he suddenly heard a voice, he looked around quickly until he finally realized it was the one he referred to as 'Feathers' that was talking to him. He stared at the bird as it 'spoke' to him and explained her situation. He blinked at the bird a couple of times until he was able to comprehend that it had spoke to him. He decided he'd take the bird up on what it had said, coax her from her shell. It's least he could do before he'd turn against her, he thought to himself. He smiled and nodded at the bird, "So... Kara-Kara... I didn't know feathers was capable of telekinetic speech..." He said slowly.

[Rinko]

Karasu stopped walking, and gasped a little. "Kurai! You didn't-- I didn't know could--!" Her eyes were wide. So far, her shock and her previous rage was the only emotion she'd shown to Reizo. She turned her head to Kurai, who happened to be on the side Reizo was. She glared at the bird. "I can," Kurai said, making it so only Karasu could hear him. To answer Reizo's question, Karasu said, "I... I guess I'm not the only one he can talk to.."

[Moongem]

Reizo looked at the shook on her face and grinned, "Oh, That almost looks like a raise were getting out of you." He said with a chuckle towards Kara-kara. He kept walking and threw his arms behind his head, "Hey..." He quoted her, "I don't expect to stop if you slow us down any." He said, not looking back at her.

[Rinko]

Karasu looked down and away, and frowned. She trotted, and caught up to Reizo. "Smart ass," was her remark, knowing he was mocking her. the slightest smile played at the corner ov her lips, but she quickly willed it away. Too much to how to one person, in one day. She rarely smiled, and Reizo was the last person in the world she'd smile at.

[Moongem]

Reizo saw what looked like a bit of a smile, but he couldn't tell for sure, so he dismissed it and kept walking, his wide grin still present on his face, as it usually was. He looked over at her and then at the bird and then forward onto the distance, until he could see the ocean once more. He stared out at the sea and smiled, the sea was almost a warm green color. Reizo looked at the sea and his grin widened, "So this is where he plans to meet us..."

[Rinko]

"I see.." Karasu answered blankly. She extended her shoulder, and allowed Kurai to depart from her temporarily, though she did feel uneasy. He reassured her with a glance over his shoulder as he flew back into the forsest. She sighed and sat where she could watch the sea, but remained aware of her surroundings.

[Moongem]

Reizo's pupil's grew small as he intently watched the sea, a single spot where the color was greener then the rest. He lifted his hand and slicked his orangeish-red hair back before his blood lust filled grin widened.

The green area at which Reizo had been staring at suddenly began to sizzle. Steam began to rose off the water as if it had suddenly got warm inside. The water began to bubble as the water deluded image of a human figure became visible underneath the waters surface. The figure suddenly burst from the water, and array of azure (light, bright, blue) flames surrounding his body. The figured revealed to be a tall male, his hair was sea green and his eyes were deep blue. His blue and white uniform was indentical to Reizo's in almost every way. He looked at the two as his feet lightly plodded across the water's surface as he walked towards the two.

[Rinko]

Karasu made a curious "hmmm?" sound and looked at the direction that Reizo was looking. Sure enough, the water was... different. She watched it until she could see the figure of someone. Someone tall... "Is this the third?" she asked herself. Kurai was still off hunting, she could feel his Chakra nearby. The person was walking towards them slowly. "Yes, this must be.." Her cold, violet eyes drifted from the figure, and scanned the horizon slowly. She looked at Reizo, wary of his stare.

[Moongem]

His bright blue eyes illuminate the darkness around his face and he looked up at the two, "Reizo-san..." He said. His voice wasn't deep, but it was powerful, booming and hide a tone of honor in it. He looked extremely professional, his posture straight and his feet together at the heels when he stopped walked. The water rippled, his feet the epicenter of them and he stared at the two, his eyes casually traveled to the girl. He blinked at her, looking her over slowly and carefully, "Yamochi... Karaso-san." He said, addressing her formally.

Reizo stared down at the man standing on the water and snickered, "Hariyama Kaseo." He said in a mocking tone that was filled with arrogance. "Well, I'm sure you have a good reason for coming her, eh?" The words flowed from Reizo's mouth questioningly and his lips curled into a large grin. Kaseo reacted with nothing, his expression had no emotion behind it and he spoke slowly, "You two..." He started, "Will be the first permanent team formed in the Hakumei Seidei." His words were clear and his voice easily understood, "And you will be following a lead about a jinchuriki... two actually. One has been spotted in Kumogakure, the Hidden Cloud Village. Where you will seak the group, "New Dawn" Lead by Jinchuriki and former Akatsuki member Uchiha Onikaru. He is accompanied by Uzumaki Minzuri from Konoha and a former member of Akatsuki and a unknown kunoichi."

Reizo blinked as Kaseo feed him orders, he opened his mouth as he heard the name 'Onikaru' but was cut off by Kaseo, "The other... is Uchiha Mazuku... He has been spotted near the Rising Sun Village. He has been spotted with three companion, those of which have all been identified, save one. Onigakure's female swordsman - Chiri..." His azure eyes suddenly traveled to Karasa and he stared at her for a moment before resuming, "and a girl that Uchiha found recently, she was identified by a marking on her arm..." His eyes thinned as he spoke the first part, "Yamochi... Rinko..." He said.

[Rinko]

Karasu's expression remained neutral and feeling-less. When Kaseo addressed her, she bowed respectfully, saying nothing. She regarded him with her purple eyes, well aware of his power. She listened carefully as he explained their situation about being the first team. Kurai flew out of the trees, and joined Karasu by landing on her shoulder. She was more at ease when he was around. Karasu listened even more intently, and when he mentioned her cousin, she remained neutral. She did not care much for her weak cousin, Rinko-ikoki. And she wasn't about to start.

[Moongem]

Kaseo couldn't help but show a somewhat twisted smile as he saw no emotion radiating from Karasu. She obviously wasn't going to be a liability, his eyes moved to Reizo. Him, on the other hand, was a different story. He was liable to lash out at the mention of Onikaru's name, as he was someone attacking him. He knew Reizo was unstable, and he was very cautious whenever he mentioned THAT boy.

Reizo shared in Karasu's empty expression. Even at the mention of "Karu-niichan", which usually set him off like a fire cracker, Kaseo was curious what would happen when Reizo saw Onikaru. He spoke, "Since when did you start giving the orders?" He said cockily to Kaseo, who simply ignored him.

Kaseo 's gaze fell upon Karasu, "So, would you be able to kill the jinchuriki, a young boy and a kind-hearted pacifist?" He asked, seeming to grill her.

[Rinko]

She remained blank again, and coldly, a voice enough to send chills down any sane person's back, said, "I'll do whatever the Hakumei Seidei tells me to. If I must kill a jinchiriki, I will. A young boy? I will. A person with a kind heart? I will." She continued her blank expression, her eyes drifting towards Kaseo. "I've sworn my allegiance." Kurai, her raven, simply ruffled his feathers to clean them. He was aware of Karasu's icy behavior. She wasn't kidding, either. Kurai felt rather uneasy.

[Moongem]

Kaseo grinned inside, in that since, she was just like him. Completely loyal. He smiled at her as she spoke, finding the ice in her voice pleasant, as opposed to Reizo's fiery out bursts. He dropped his chin, "I'm relieved to hear that... but I can't fully believe you until I see you in the field..." He looked at Reizo, "I'll expect you two to be going immediately, the young Uchiha is closest, We last heard that he was near the Cloud Village... get going." He turned around and began off, towards the dark horizon of the water he stood on.

[Rinko]

Karasu didn't return his smile, only accepted it. She watched him, expressionless, as Kaseo went back to where he came from. "Let's go," she said coldly. She turned, and faced the direction where the Cloud Village was. "We can't waste any more time here." She began walking, her strides measured, her back straight, and her eyes straight ahead. Kurai looked back at Reizo, not exactly sure what to think. He looked at Karasu, aware of how cold she was being. Her the first time, Kurai was a little nervous.

[Moongem]

Reizo popped up with a lot of animation and began up towards his new partner. He quickly caught up to her and threw his hands behind his head. Slowly walking after her, he couldn't help but look at her, her coldness was intriguing, refreshing. In a way, she reminded him of Onikaru the last time he saw him. That blank, cold stared that was laced with intent to kill. He kinded wanted to see them meet, but he wouldn't let her fight him... he wanted Onikaru. But he knew he couldn't fight him, not yet. He frowned and continued after her.

[Rinko]

Kurai extended his Chakra to Reizo, into his ears and brain, just like last time, and said in his young voice, "Karasu-chan is serious about this. The Hakumei Seidei is her passion because she didn't belong anywhere else. She wants to prove herself, and her loyalty to this organization by going forth, and doing just what Kaseo-san had instructed." Kurai glanced at Reizo, then to Karasu, who was unaware of this conversation. Her purple eyes seemed like steel the way they stared ahead, unfeeling. Unthinking.

[Moongem]

He listened to the bird in his head and the looked up at it on her shoulder, he was curious if they'd be able to kill Onikaru, and if they did... what would happened when they encountered Mazuku, the man who had been a father to him. He shook his head, clearing the thoughts from his head and then looked at Karasu, suddenly curious as to how she fought, he had heard Onikaru had gathered a few Shinobi to his cause, Karasu and himself would probably be outnumbered, but probably be okay.

[Rinko]

Karasu spoke, the chill still in her voice, but not as evident as before. She said, "I'm not sure how long it will take for us to reach the Cloud Village. We'll have to be in top condition before any battle. That means we must rest when weary, eat when hungry, drink when thirsty." She glanced at Reizo. "Correct?"

[Moongem]

Reizo dipped his chin a bit, listening to the words that Karasu had to say. "Yeah, yeah. If that's how things pan out..." He said, the sentence not making much sense. His orangish-red hair that was swept back by his hands he continued forwards, slightly behind Karasu now. (Should this end this one?)

[Rinko]

(I suppose, but where would that take us? To the Cloud village?)

[Moongem]

(Yeah, but let's finish that one first.)
