Time to Head Home [Kurayami -> Mori][Open]

Jayr had no interest in sticking around and getting herself into trouble since the Harukage - the new one - had told her and Okami to start heading out and that they would follow. If the man was strong enough to take the hat from someone else then she had no intentions of getting on his bad side or of making a bad example. She didn't know the full history between everyone, or the full reasons everyone seemed to hate Okami outside of what she had heard and picked up on, and it wasn't her business. She had no intentions of making herself look back in the eyes of the other villages: it was why she had spoken up and explained why she had been smoking so hardcore. Thankfully, at least Jr Kane, seemed to understand that sort or rage issue - and none of the rest who had been present seemed to have an issue with it either.

Jayr adjusted her shoulder strap of her bag so that it was across her chest; it wouldn't fall off quite so easily that way. She had a feeling they wouldn't be taking the Kuraikage's ship back and that was okay with her. The darkness was a bit disturbing but she had no intentions of lingering longer than she had too, plus she wouldn't be traveling alone.

Jayr made it to the village entrance and then took the path right out of it, heading in the direction that she knew home to be. She moved quickly, but as silently as possible. She had no intentions of getting to know any of the beasts or scary creatures that might be lurking in all of the darkness surrounding her - it was why she had decided to take the path instead of trying to make her way straight toward the village through all of the darkness. Soon enough though the darkness and coolness gave away to the harsh brightness of the desert. Jayr found herself having to stop long enough for her eyes to adjust and to pull the hood up of her jacket so she didn't get sunburn on her face. Once situated again she started across the edge of the desert and then across the ocean, using chakra coating her feet to allow her to run on top of the surface.

Soon enough land appeared again as did the forests that marked it home. The familiar weather and scents reached her nostrils and she took in a deep breath as a small smile broke across her face: it felt good to be home and out of the situation that had started up back there. Jayr headed straight toward the inn her mother owned with the intentions of letting her know she was alright as well as filling her in on all of the details of what had happened: plus, she had to get a new lighter.


Wordies: 3,370

Okami walked directly out of the meeting hall, following Jayr into the abyss. He REALLY didn't want to stick around after what had just happened. To be honest, everyone hating him was reminding him too much of his childhood. Following the path along with the younger girl, he didn't miss a hitch when they first came to the desert, then came upon the ocean. Running across the water, he made sure to pace himself so that he didn't go ahead. Once they reached Morigakure again, he made his way gently towards home, picking up a bento box to eat. As he arrived, he placed his weapons on the rack and began to meditate once again in his family room. Gathering the much-denser Nature Energy around him, he recalled everything that Fell had told him. Ferocity and balance.

"Got it.", had been Hikari's response into the wireless communicator upon hearing her brother's words. Thankfully, she was already ready for this situation - she had been informed that something like this was bound to happen so she had packed her most important items beforehand. A grab of her bag of clothing, as well as the medical supplies she brought with her everywhere, and she was heading out the door of the hospital.

She had a feeling that she was going to have a lot of work ahead of her. Given what she had been told about Muninn having to go to Sabakugakure to keep himself from dying she figured that there likely wasn't a very good hospital established in Morigakure, maybe not even one at all. Hikari was going to change all of that. It was her specialty. She had established several other hospitals in the past and knew what she was doing so it would just be the matter of doing it again.

Hikari, able to see through both Shinsai and Chakra Radar, watched as several people began to head off in the direction of Morigakure. Hikari followed in their wake, taking her time since nothing in the darkness could really sneak up on her anymore: besides, given what was sealed inside of her she was part of the darkness in a way.

Soon enough Mori was in sight and Hikari headed straight toward the Administrative Building...

Exiting

Kurai didn't have much to grab, because he didn't have a whole lot to begin with. He figured he'd be back here sooner or later, so he locked up his penthouse apartment. With Little Kong on his back, he bit farewell to Kinzoku and Kurai, as well as whoever else was listening on the party line before heading out of Kurayamigakure for now.

Harukage. He was headed towards a village who had 2 that weren't liked by people in most every village. It would be on him to shape them up; refine them. Kurai let out a irritated sigh, for this looked to be quite a task ahead of him. One of them had one arm. The other he'd had to put on his ass for sticking his nose somewhere it didn't belong. He probably wouldn't like Kurai, but Kurai didn't care. He was there to run the village, not to make friends.

The darkness ended, and then came the desert. Before too long, the desert began to turn green, and the summer-like conditions of Mori appeared.

Kurai landed, preparing to settle into his new job as leader of this village.

Exit]

Sighing, Muninn would merely follow along behind Kurai as he saw him take off. He didn't speak, nor did he flinch as the desert sun hit his pale skin when they finally made it that far. He did fairly well keeping up with the new Harukage, considering his speed was hindered by any roadblocks on the ground. Once they got to the ocean, however, he really let it rip, focusing chakra on the soles of his feet to run at full speed across the water. It was difficult to keep his balance at this speed with only one arm, but that was the way it was for now, he supposed. The thought of getting a new arm was intriguing to say the least, and he merely hoped that by the end of this he would actually be Kage material, or at least strong enough to take out Ranmaru should he arrive.

Arriving in the lush forests of Morigakure, he would walk into the Village gates, disappearing before anyone could refer to him as Lord Harukage. That wasn't him anymore, not yet.
