♪ Sound Village ↔ Leaf Village ❧

[Misujage]

The outskirts of the Sound Village that lead to the outskirts of the Leaf Village

The ship that carried Ayaki and Shigeru along with a few Snow villagers, steadily travelled out of the Snow docks and out to sea. Shige and Ayaki had gone up to the second level of the ship, the highest off the water. The white land that was their home was being left behind with the great mountains in the distance. The ice atop the water broke apart, giving way to the strong metal hull of the ship. The air was crisp and sharp as it blew east. The ship moved up and down slightly as it traveled over the waves. Shigeru and Ayaki stood at the front of the ship but Shigeru had his back to the railing as he looked back to the land of snow. He watched as Yukigakure disappeared behind them before glancing towards Ayaki while still facing the Snow. "How are you feeling?" Shigeru asked, his voice not so sharp and firm.

Carrot was sitting on the deck and leaning against a solid piece of wood "I'm f-fine." she said, quickly covering her mouth as her skin went a pale shade of green "I just want to get there already." she swallowed her sickness.  

[Mordred Killian]

Shigeru looked down at Ayaki's delay to speak. She doesn't look so good He placed his hand on Ayaki's shoulder. Shigeru had never seen anyone become sick so quickly. "Hold on. Just keep your eyes on one thing." Shigeru said, his hand gently placed on her shoulder. He then looked up to the horizon but only saw water. He had never been to another village but he knew that Konoha was the closest out of all the others. It shouldn't be too long.

"How bout I focus on nothing?" Carrot said and immediately put her head on her knees, wrapping her arms around her head. She kept her eyes closed as the ship neared the dock and only opened them again once the crew had lowered the plank "Thank gods! Get me off this thing!" she almost wailed, rushing down the plank to stand on solid ground, panting with her hands on her knees Ugh...I hate ships...  

[Mordred Killian]

Shigeru felt concerned with Ayaki. He remembered how horrifying it was the first time he was sick. Shigeru stood from Ayaki's side and took a seat, waiting for them to reach their destination. He began to nod off into sleep when one of the crew shouted out their arrival. Shigeru looked up to see a forest not so far from the dock. The air was much warmer. Shigeru stood, undoing a few of the latches on his coat to cool down a bit more. He suddenly felt much warmer. Shigeru saw Ayaki step down the plank and followed her, stepping onto the land of fire. He looked around to see the great change in scenery while Ayaki was on the wooden dock, seemingly grateful to be off the ship. Shige smiled over her before looking up to the checkpoint that they had to go through in order to enter the country. Shigeru patted Ayaki on the back as he walked past her to the checkpoint. A couple of villagers were showing their passports to the man behind the kiosk. Shigeru stepped forward since he was next in line. He spoke to the man in order to explain their presence there and who they were. They were allowed in since they were shinobi but Shigeru explained their mission anyway. Once they were cleared, Shigeru looked back and called for Ayaki to follow as he began to make his way down the road towards the Leaf.

Carrot followed after quickly shoving a barrel into place over something I should be able to control my own stomach... she thought, racing to catch up with Shigeru And I'm the chunin! Why am I following him?!  

[Mordred Killian]

Shigeru walked calmly down the dirt road as Ayaki came close from behind. He smiled as they followed the few villagers that had gotten off the ship. The road was wide and well kept. "How are you feeling? Better?igeru asked Ayaki, glancing over to her with a smile before turning to look ahead. There was a sign that marked the roads that split from an intersection in the road just ahead.

Jae had settled into unusual silence, her nature the polar opposite of such. Even though the chill still remained in the air, Jae refused to go below deck to seek the comforts of warmth and chatter for those who were heading in the same direction as she. She wanted to see the last of her village, wanted to take it all in before discarding it completely. Everything she had ever known was there, everyone she cared about as well. All because of her broken pride and childish tantrum she had jumped on Crisis remark and had fled Snow. There were many places she could attempt to flee to but the one she recalled the most was Leaf and unconsciously she set forth to the village. Saying she was frightened was an understatement, after all she was a thirteen year old girl running away from home. "It's too late to go back now..."She said to herself, burring her face in her crossed arms as she leaned against the railway. The village grew smaller and smaller until at last it was forgotten in the horizon. Letting out a small sigh, she retreated to the decks bellow to at least escape the clinging chill that she was used to.

Carrot's boat bumped the docks and she hopped off to make her way through the outlands to Leaf. She raced to get to Leaf, hoping Shigeru was still there, not bothering to take notice of the mutters about Snow shinobi making messes and rushing about.  

[astrasinthewild]

Carrot made her way back to Snow, pain in her every step. She hated leaving Jae behind and forcing Shigeru to come back to Snow I hate this...I wish it wasn't such a horrible world. she thought, her dark thoughts plain on her face as she moved.  

[Mordred Killian]

Shigeru burst out from the trees and soared out toward the docks. He landed on the wooden pier with a great thud. Shige was breathing hard as he rose and began to walk behind a line of people that were boarding a water vessel. Some of them had seen his arrival and were staring at him. Shigeru saw them with his peripheral vision and turned to look back at them. He was sweating and had a grave expression on his face. The traveler's looked away once they saw this and Shigeru continued onto the boat. Once on the boat, he found a seat and crossed his arms, his eyes closed all the way back to Snow country.  

[astrasinthewild]

Carrot took a seat next to Shigeru, still crying as the boat set off. She was just as silent as he as they traveled back home.

Nakura stood atop the deck of the large cargo ship. Her arms resting against the edge, her uncovered eye peering over the ocean. This was a much better trip than before, but sadly the reasons behind it weren't so grand. Could she feel sad at such a moment, or play tough for the Genin that traveled with her. Surely he had no qualms with being astute, so she shouldn't either ... right? "Jae ... "  

[Mordred Killian]

Shigeru walked up from below the deck with a bottle of water in each hand. He found Nakura near the edge, looking out to the water. He walked to the edge himself and there he stood and looked down Shigeru was beside Nakura when he drank from one of the bottles. They were labeled and stated that they were from natural springs in the land of Snow. Shigeru then offered Nakura the unopened bottle, intending on giving it to her in the first place.
