Another message and another reason for her to meet up with the former Mizukage. That woman was going to be the death of her. Looking a little glum, Aki nodded slowly. Understanding and showing she was willing to pass this along. Isn't it weird? He's like totally not freaking out. How boring. Which was true. He was not as strained as she expected the man to be. Was the Mizukage so random that this was normal for the shinobi of the village. This was a fact that her mind could not grasp so she just pushed it out, along with everything else. Taking a slow step back, so as not to startle the monk, she began to walk away. Just before she got far enough to be out of hearing range she paused. She didn't want to jeopardize her visa in this village, starting with passing along this bit of the message. "Mi said she is sorry and that she will come back as soon as she can so she can try out some new jutsu on you, so be prepared. Whatever that means..." It sounded so personal yet so odd. Why would sparing be something meaningful between two people. Whatever. It didn't matter to her. Message relayed. Check. Now it was time for her to make an appearance before Sypher. As she was instructed, but first...

It had been some time to think... Aki had departed from him with a message that was sooo.... Mi. He knew not why he still stood there, while Aki had fled. His blades were mostly polished away and oiled, that left nothing to really occupy his mind from the storms that brewed. Sypher was in the public spotlight as a Kage. That made it difficult for him to try something, but even still... Was a rogue ninja a good choice? An itch he couldn't scratch, almost. He settled back against the shrine for some time, looking to each blade in its scabbard, laying before him.
A desk job wasn't what Zay needed, she was right about that. In the end... It was Sypher's job to deal people (or maybe it was Yokai... He couldn't tell which one was which until they opened their mouths). Sighing, he rose to his feet. Perhaps a mission would take his mind off things? Hell, even a trip to Takumi. He was still sitting on some money from the previous mission. Either way, the monk set out from the shrine for the office of the Mizukage. He needed to get out for the time being.
Chokichi slowly walked across the lake. Even though he had practiced his Water Walking Technique before, he still had room for improvement. He training sessions wasn't enough for him, he wanted more. something was missing and he couldn't figure out what it was.
"We're here," said the teen, turning to Kenji and smiling, "be careful though, you never know what to expect here."

After a few hours passed Tekkou had finally made it all the way through the mist and to the shrine. It was really out there so he didn't want to spend too much time where no one was. He took a few minutes looking around but he only saw monks and other people who belonged there. One more place down only a few more to go and with that he left.
Exhausted, terrified and now aching with bruises from his panicked escape, Sheng just collapsed behind the shrine, hiding himself under a brush. He cried, little hiccups disturbing his sobs, wishing Bai where there...but thinking of her reminded him of how she'd died and he cried harder. He cried himself to sleep, tears sticking his hands to his cheeks as he fell asleep curled in a ball. His bare upper body was thin and frail and marred by a brand on his stomach; a tiger's gaping jaws with an S inside them. He shivered in the cold, sniffling in his sleep as he dreamed about being safe with his dead sister.

A slow stride, his hands in his pockets and his guard down, his scar across his nose had finally become a part of him and he was no longer fearful of it to say the least. He used to be worried he'd never be able to heal it, but now, it was growing on him. As he approached the Shrine he heard some sort of whimper... Looking around, he first of all glanced to his left, and then his right. Must be an animal... Thought Flou as he got the Shrine and opened a door and stepped into it. He left the door open and walked to one of the shrines to the gods and knelt before it...
Flou pulled out a match and lit some incenses and put his hands together, tilted his head down and closed his eyes. His blue hair draping his eyes from the statue that was before him... He began to pray...
"If there is to be peace in the world, There must be peace in the nations. If there is to be peace in the nations, There must be peace in the cities. If there is to be peace in the cities, There must be peace between neighbors. If there is to be peace between neighbors, There must be peace in the home. If there is to be peace in the home, There must be peace in the heart... Please guide everyone to that peace... Before, After and During my pass..."
Flou sat there and brought his hands to his legs, he looked to the ground and had his eyes closed... Then he heard it again... that small whimper, that tiny sound... Flou opened his eyes and looked tot he statue, looking at it's face. Flou paused for a second then looked to the door. He left his sword at the shrine and got up, turning on his heels and left the Shrine, looking outside and could feel no presence. A whimper, and, then... a hiccup? Flou looked to the back of the Shrine, and began to walk to the direction, and to his surprise, saw a familiar face! Sheng... a sleep, whimpering and hiccups... Shivering and frail... Flou looked to the boy then to the shrine, he smiled and pulled off his kimono and sat beside Sheng. He gently put the kimono onto Sheng and tucked it onto him. He then reached into his inner japanese styled robe and pulled out a bento box, it was cold, but it was food. He placed it next to Sheng and sat along a tree, he didn't disturb him, he just let him be... If the gods had made Flou hear that sound, or if it was just a fluke, Flou didn't care, he knew what the boy had been through... The boy didn't need anymore surprise and exhaustion then what he already had endured... Flou laid against the neaby tree and began to count the stars in the sky as he waited for Sheng to awake or for someone to come. If no one came by morning, Flou would escort Sheng to the Office himself, but knowing Sypher, someone was already probably looking for him. Flou would only be a mere babysitter for now...
It wouldn't me long before Tekkou arrived. He slowly approached Sheng where he sat and he noticed another shinobi along side him. He would lower his voice before speaking. Sheng are you alright? Are you ready to go to the Mizukage's office. With that Tekkou would remain where he was about five feet away. That way he didn't freak the boy out again.

Flou looked at the approaching Shinobi as he reached out for Sheng and lowered his voice to speak to him, Flou's eyes almost went crossed as he heard him and how he acted around him, had this BOY been chasing him for this entire time acting like that? Like a doctor asking if someone was ready for a colonoscopy, or a deranged nurse at a n old folks home? Jeez... no wonder Sheng had the hiccup's, Flou would have had his doubts too if he came for him. Flou threw a pebble at Tekkou and hopefully it would tap the back of Tekkou's leg, a gentle throw, no harm just an attention grabber. "Hey!?" Flou strained his words and was in a voice which he was only letting out air, it was coarse and very quiet, but it had the power of a yell behind it... "Leave him, he's wrapped in my kimono and is sleeping... he deserves a sleep... god knows what hes been through."Flou looked at Teekou with toughly smashed together lips and a raised eyebrow."I'm Flou Uwa, Chuunin, Medical Shinobi... Who are you?" He waved his hand to Tekkou, trying to get him to back from Sheng, so the kid could sleep and not be disturbed.
It took her a bit longer, but she could always keep up with Tekkou eventually. Such a young and adventurous boy. So full of energy, and yet ... was this more interference? Approaching just in enough time to catch the words of the blue haired man. A familiar face, one she had seen in the Mizukage's Office. Alas, that meant very little. "Tekkou, is this person becoming a bother?" Words spoken as she extended a hand and allowed a single sheet of paper to flow from it, resting in her hand would she begin to fold it of her own accord. Tediously working at the edges to form some obscure shape. Unlike the other two whom had attacked deliberately because they figured they knew what was best. This man was simply watching and giving words. That much was fine, for now, but her patience could vanish as quickly as a star in the morning.

Tekkou would look a the guy who introduced himself as Flou. He would simply watch the male with a blank stare, his byakugan still active watching his chakra network. He didn't feel the need to explain but after seeing who happened the last time someone appeared he knew a fight wasn't in their best interest. Tekkou Terrozaki Chuunin. That boy must come with us. It is part of our missions. If you insist on keeping him from us we will take him by force. You just remember this boy hates seeing fighting. Think about that before you make your response. With that being said Tekkou looked over to Bellatrix who had asked if there was a problem with this guy. As of now there is no problem but it all depends on how he acts.

Flou looked at Tekkou and shook his head"I'm fighting a child, I'm sorry if that hurts your pride, but Tekkou, that boy has been through a lot in the past three days, let him rest, speak to me in the Shrine. He won't be going anywhere, trust me... I know this boy... I was the last person to see him before he disappeared. Last thing he saw of me, quite possibly was me sitting on top of Hotaka bashing my forehead into his multiple times... So don't get cocky." Flou looked up at Bellatrix as well and with a smile that seemed almost calm and collect, weird considering what he'd just said. Flou scooted over and patted his hand on the ground beside him. "Come on over, let the boy sleep. If he wakes up, he won't go far fast, that Bento Box and the familiar kimono will surely make him stay."
Tekkou shook his head back at Flou after seeing him shake his head. You are interfering with our mission. Step aside and voice your complaints to the Mizukage. This boy will come with us to his office now. With that being said Tekkou would lower is stance a bit waiting to see if Flou was really willing to traumatize the boy further by fighting in front of him. In his gentle fist style stance Tekkou began to locate the points in Flous chakra network he would strike. Flou was already in his range so if he didn't move he would be struck down if he choose to interfere with them any further. Bellatrix if a fight is what he wants, its a fight he will get. Tekkou didn't like the idea of fighting but if it had to be done it had to be done.
That was all she needed, no words of kindness. These things were pointless. If the child truly needed rest, he could rest after the short walk to the Mizukage's Office. It was not like it would take an extended amount of time to get there. Her arms would fly out, adjusting the feather boa that draped her form. Normally she would attack, but even so, this man still had not done a single thing to provoke her. Alas, if Tekkou attacked she would support him. If the blue haired male attacked, she would crumble his world. "People make simple objectives extremely difficult. If you want the child to rest, then he shall rest once he is returned to where he needs to be. Sleeping on the ground is not befitting a child."

Shifting in sleep, Sheng felt so much comfort from whatever was lying on him, unaware of what it was. The familiar smell with the comforting warmth made him fall deeper asleep...at least until the action started up again. Making an angry noise in his sleep, Sheng slowly came awake, the first thing he saw...the female from before, throwing her arms out in a manner that he saw as threatening. His eyes went huge and he flung himself up off the ground, nearly tripping over the kimono "Eh?! AH! Wah!" he flailed and fell backwards, struggling to get free of the encumbering garment "Nnngh! Get...off!" he growled around his sharpened teeth, clenched tight. He rolled, further entangling himself, but stopped as he saw Flou sitting not a few feet from him. Sheng's eyes, already huge, became even larger "F-Flou-san?" he stammered and tears welled up in his eyes....but happy tears. He hadn't seen anyone he knew in the village until now and it was such a relief to see someone who he recognized. He managed to sit up and, while he was still stuck in the kimono, he was no longer in a panic. He directed his teary gaze at Bellatrix and Tekkou then looked back at Flou, desperate to know what was going on "What's happening, Flou-san?" he asked, his fear of the other two diminishing as he struggled to really figure out what was happening now. He swallowed, tears still going down his cheeks "Where's Syy?" Sheng's voice choked on a sob, wondering where the one person left that was his 'family' was.

Flou looked at Tekkou and with a cheeky, yet slowly growing smile, looked at him dead in his eye's, as if he didn't care. Tekkou might have an awesome fighting spirit, but Flou doubted this boy could even imagine what Flou had seen in his time of being a Shinobi... Flou had encountered thieves in caves, with the intentions to bury him under rubble, he had been hunted and captured to a Midnight Tournament that was meant to make Flou be a punching bag for thieves,. Flou had fought for his life against vengeful siblings, who had nothing less then a target on Flou's head, and had almost lost his mind, had killed more than five people and had developed his morale's and goals in his life. Flou had fallen in love with someone, and was in an ongoing fear of his lover, maybe snapping and killing him (Sounds silly, but she's a Sakkugan user, duo personalities... One wishes to kill him).
So, as Tekkou took a stance, Flou did not move, he just stared forwards with a smirk and a 'I dare you.' look in his eyes. Flou's eyes glanced to Bellatrix quickly and then to Tekkou again... Both seemed new to this... But just then, Sheng made a sound and awoke.
Flou looked to him as he squirmed and flailed in the kimono and chuckled lightly to the boy, even closing his eyes as he laughed. As Sheng's eyes began to tear up, Flou gave a warming smile and pointed to the Bento Box in front of Sheng "Nothing bad Sheng, here eat up, it's my dinner, but you may have it. You look much more hungrier." Flou smiled to Sheng and scooted closer to him and patted his head as he did on the mission in the Caravan's, trying to comfort him. "These two shinobi are here to bring you to him. Syy is in his warm office, where you'll be going. No need to worry anymore..." Flou smiled to him and was glad that Sheng was finally here...
Then, Flou's attention went to bring his attention back to Tekkou and Bellatrix. Flou stood up and sighed "I guess you are right Bellatrix, if I am correct, that's what Tekkou called you?"Flou said in a questioning manner, hoping for an answer back from the lady. He then turned to Tekkou "I want no fight, but if you wish to test me or yourself, we can do a spar in the Dojo, where we don't damage Shrines."Flou looked to the Shrine and bowed his head to it lightly, almost invisibly.
