Yumi is BORED~!

Kiko follows Ryuu quietly, trying not to be bothersome. She silently observes the hallway and the floor, following the ninja's footsteps. She closed her eyes and attempted to rely only on her chakra to tell where things were, but noted it failed miserably when she ran into him. Immediatly she bowed. "I'm so sorry, Sempai. I didn't mean to run into you.........."

"Just watch where your going using chakara to sense where your going isn't a good idea." Ryuu said "This way."

Kiko nodded and followed quietly, trying not to bother him any more than she had already.

"Stop." Ryuu said quiet so only Kiko could hear her "Someone's coming." Ryuu looked around and noticed a certain ninja walked towards the west of where they were at and whispered "Hatake... Kakashi."

Stunned, she stopped immediately. <i>Hatake Kakashi?</i> she thought nervously. She searched her mind for his chakra signature, and finally found it. She had encountered him only once before, and by accident. She had no grudges against him, nor any affections, so she could easily fight if necessary. She found that he possessed one sharingun, but not the bloodline for it.
She found his face hidden with her thoughts as well.

White hair, leaf village....<i>From the leaf village, an Anbu...in here? We've no choice. He must die today, ere the others discover the hide-out.</i> She hadn't fought since coming to the akatsuki, but she kept herself healthy if she needed to. And now that she did, she spread her chakra through the hallway. <i> When he enters this chakra field, his sharingun will not help him for reading our movements. This also creates an invisible shield that can protect us from weapons if I concentrated it in a certain spot...</i>

She took a few steps back, signaling to the other ninja that she was more defense than offense. She sat down, crossed legged, and monitered the chakra levels in her shield, while sending out a lump of chakra as a sentry to keep watch.

"Dpn't encounter him Kiko." Ryuu said "It's pointless just to attack him now besides I want to take a crack at him myself he taught me the chidori and I mastered my own upgrade to it and I want to test it out against him plus the direction hes going is toward the hidden leaf so we might get ambushed by his subordinates if they're with him and Pein is really the waiting type I already messaged him about bringing over you and I know I need to hurry up to get there."

She nodded submissivly. What he says goes. This was unquestionable. These orders would be followed, no matter the cost. She would do whatever he asked. "Yes Sempai." She said quietly. She didn't really care for fighting either way.

"Good at least we have someone who cooperates without arguement." Ryuu said

Julian slithered through the shadows observing everything waiting for direct orders

Kiko looked at the ground, only looking up when Julian entered the room, before returning her gaze to the floor.
She hoped she didn't have to fight. She really did. But there was no guarantees in battle. Honestly, she wasn't good in battle. But she did excellent in distractions, assasinations, escorts, and traps.

"Quick question, when did we enter a room?" Ryuu said

Eh?
.....><; sorry. I meant.. uh...when Julian entered Kiko's line of sight, or when Julian moved and she got curious what he was doing, so she took a quick peek and went back to looking down.

Julian turned off a switch on his gauntlet, the shoulderguard started to suck out 80% of the chakra in his body so he couldn't be recognized by any sensor. then he turned into a shadow and fused with Kiko's shadow.

"probably she will feel me, or even know that I am in her shadow, but it is necessary to protect her, I can use the surprise element because the enemy can't spot me like this, but I gotta be careful, If I use her and not my shadow to attack it could end in a drama." Julian whispered to himself.

Kiko eyed Julian, but didn't say anything.

A red eye appeared in Kiko's shadow then Julian's voice was to hear:
"I am sorry if this is making you feel uncomfortable, but in the form of a shadow I can observe the whole situation much better and also can help you out if you are in danger, why I am doing that? you may ask, well I don't know for myself, it's just something I've learned in the rebellion: always protect your allies"
then the eye disappeared again.

Kiko only caught a glimpse of the red eye as it disappeared. She wondered briefly what the technique he used was called and how it worked, but decided not to ask. Insted, she tried to keep her eyes on the one who gave out orders, glancing suspiciously over at Julian as little as possible.

It wasn't that she questioned his motives, naturally she understood his reasoning, as she was constantly monitoring the chakra levels of all people in the room, it was that the power he used was strong. Maybe even too strong. Granted, thhey would be very useful in battle, but it could also overpower him and turn into a disaster during the mission. She didn't judge. But she did monitor his chakra with a keener eye than the others.

Julian observed Kiko's shadow, and searched for the connection between his shadow-form and her normal shadow, as he found it, he started to unweave them, then he twisted the appearance of her shadow so nobody would recognize there was a second shadow among her's. Now he was able to only use his own shadow to strike and not accidentally the girl's one.

Ryuu getting bored with Julian's shadow fusing technique reached into Kiko's shadow and pulled Julian out staring at him while clutching the front end of his cloak and saying "Why are you following us, I saw that little technique of yours and knew I could simply go fishing for your body, next time say it's you because I thought someone from the leaf village found us and I don't intend on fighting."

Julian looked down depressed and ashamed, than he looked up again and a sarcastic grin was to see on his face.
"Don't worry, a leaf nin couldn't use the eclipse eye, there aren't any eclipse eyes there at all, I am the only one in the reach of our operation who could pull of a shadow connection with his own body, all the other eclipse eyes are workers or farmers, and I expected you'd find out that it's me at least you are my higher up, I am pretty sure you recognized me anyways."

then his face turned serious again. He turned into living shadow and escaped the grip of his higher up.

"I was following you because I have an urge to protect what I have, ad allies are the only things I have got in our world, even if you are forbidding me to follow you I will, and this time I'll make sure nobody will see me, not even a Hyuuga. Trust me, shadows are not only there for blending in."
He said in a strong voice while you could see the the white of his bones showing at his fist.

Kiko, though she knew about Julian's hiding, acted surprised. "How long....?" she began. She stopped though, as tensions between Sempai and Julian rose significantly. A bush of to her right rustled slightly. On high-alert, she searched the bushes with her chakra, finding none other than Kakashi Hatake. Her eyes widened as he activated his sharingun.

"N...no..!" she said, before hardening her chakra around him and dragging him into the open. She blocked his sharingun eye with a hand and looped her chakra around him like ropes. Her heart slowed a little as she looked back at Sempai and Julian. "G...guys? We may have a situation..." she trailed off as a kunai whizzed in front of her face, making her flinch back.

Apparently, he wasn't the only one attacking. There were three others. A Hyuuga...and two others, one with gate controls. She stepped back as three more kunai came her way. One with a paper bomb. In an effort to get away, she tripped over Kakashi's body and fell on her back, stomach up. She kept the chakra around Kakashi, but was no longer covering his eye. A hand went around her neck and pulled her up, and a kunai was at her throat.

"Release Kakashi-sempai." The male voice said. She caught a glimpse of a green jumpsuit as he tightened his grip. By his voice, I can tell it's not a man. A boy, maybe 16 years of age, with control over the gates and adept training in taijutsu. She held her chakra on Kakashi steady and said nothing.

"oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, I already forgot how to defend other people...wait...I've got an idea..."
He fully turned down the switch on his gauntlet, his chakra was sinking rapidly and Julian cough blood, but now he should be unseen by sensor types and Hyugas. He turned into shadows again and hid into Kakashi's shadow.

"Ok , I hope the other's can guess out what my plan is..." the rough nin thought.
"If Kakashi attacks the master or Kiko, I can strike from his shadow, not even a skilled anbu could have reflexes to avoid this.."

Ryuu comes out of hiding and instead of his akatsuki cloak he walked out wearing his jounin outfit that we wore before he joined the akatsuki he grabbed Kiko and removed her hold of Kakashi and yelled out "If anyone here is allied with this girl I'd suggest surrendering before I slice her head off!" and then he whispered in her ear "Just go with it, they do not know about my betrayal yet so We're good."

After telling Kiko he looked at Kakashi "Long time no see Kakashi I'll handle these akatsuki low lives, carry on." he told the leaf jounin and all he could think about was "Don't do anything stupid Julian that's the last thing we need, my cover blown."

Julian was confused, but after intense thinking he understood the situation, now he was screwed, if he came out of Kakashi's shadow to hide somewhere else he would be spotted, and if he stayed in his shadow god knows where Kakashi would drag him.

"I just have to wait till the master's or Kiko's shadow would get near enough to Kakashi's so I can jump into their shadows without being seen..."

Kiko understood the plan instantly, after all, she had done this multiple times. She feinted horror and trembled in fear, lip quivering as she looked at the other ninja. She sent a few chakra pulses out to Julian, knowing he needed cover.

Wailing, she tried to get out of Sensei's grip and suceeded, heading off towards Kakashi, and, in a swift motion that no one but Ryuu could see, She yanked out Julian into her own shadow with her chakra and continued running, disappearing into the trees beyond.

"Wow, that was close, I'll never do that again... now I just gotta keep quiet and unseen..." Julian tought.
