Looking for food.

The day was nice and for the most part Urumi was enjoying herself currently taking a bath in the river she could not help but flail her hands wildly at the sight of each small thing not to mention the water was cold and Tabula Rasa was on edge for some reason, not saying that she could tell but he was not even looking at her at the moment which was rude. However with another splash Urumi would stand up, "May i be done?" She said looking at Tabula Rasa who simply tilted his head in order to scan the girl she had more mud on her than she started with so with a sigh he simply moved over and tossed her a pair of clothes a kimono and straw hat. The hat being something she quickly took a liking to she began spinning it around her head as the two started walking.

Tabula Rasa would simply think to himself he was headed in this direction for a reason, that reason being the two needed money and food they could not hope to survive simply on the hunting's that Tabula Rasa brought back and considering he taught the girl how to fight and she could care less about utilizing it he was on his own with taking up this job he had found out about from a poster in the last village they passed. He would think back to the information he had placed into his memory, a girl named Mary. And a ronin which was a pain cause it would be difficult to knock the girl out alone considering he was so small and he would have to protect Urumi well once she got hurt enough she would protect herself but that was beside the point.

He would look back only to see Urumi skipping and kicking rocks into the water as she sung a song that she had heard from the nearby travelers. "Beware, Beware though the Dobustu are rare they will eat you up just like a bear." And she repeated it over and over the two simply kept on walking the river seemed to go on forever and Tabula Rasa was beginning to think they would need to climb no matter he could carry Urumi and with a burst he would open his first gate and grab Urumi with his mouth before scaling up the side of the canyons in order to reach the top, this only caused Urumi to shriek and giggle. "Lead on, leader person." Considering she still had no idea who tabula rasa was he turned out to be a very helpful animal not like the others she had ran into that would not talk to her the big mean one's but Tabula Rasa always set them straight when they seemed to get a little angry at Urumi.

The sun was shining down on the entire area at this point, except the portion where the trees cover, casting a huge shadow to drop over the canyon. The day was really nice and was a big change for Kyo. He was from a more wet region that rained a lot, so it was a nice change to be in sunny weather. Kyo had just recently departed from his village, becoming a missing ninja. He had literally just got off the boat a few hours ago and was exited to start his journey.

Kyo walked along the top of the canyon as he put on the hood from his cloak. He didn't want anyone to notice him so he wore it. Most likely no one would notice him because he was in a whole different area, but he just wanted to be safe. As he walked he noticed the water at the bottom of the canyon, making the note hat it would be an advantage for him if he ended up getting into a fight or something. He favored the water techniques he possessed, he just liked the idea of how water jutsu worked.

After a little bit of walking along the canyon, Kyo heard some singing, it wasn't good singing, but it was singing. The teen hopped in a bush as he heard someone say something about leader. Soon after, he saw a person and a creature get to the top part of the canyon, where he was at. He wasn't really in the mood for an altercation, but yeah, he would fight if need be. The creature seemed to be carrying the girl, which was weird in his eyes. Did the girl call the creature leader? That was what was really weird.

"Okay stay close Urumi, this is where we were headed suppose to be a bad person nearby." Tabula Rasa would scan the area considering this was where Mary was last seen, she would be near. He would start over looking the ground and then walking as he gave a sniff and then looked north. "Got you Ronin, Let's go!" Tabula Rasa would take off and Urumi would try to follow but the sudden running had her thinking...why..somewhat, but mostly she was thinking how could someone so small run so fast she would be sweating already and would offer a pout before they finally came to a stop and Urumi would squint.

"Look a per-"
"Be quite Urumi"

now the two would be over looking kaii, now fun fact Urumi and Tabula rasa were speaking tigrex language animal speech so the other ninja would not be able to understand the two. Urumi would simply stare at Kaii before moving toward him in order to touch his shirt.

Ah shit. The two weirdos found him. Kyo looked up at the two as he stood to two feet. They looked super weird, not really powerful, but he didn't really want to underestimate his "enemies". Well they weren't necessarily bad or evil or anything. The two were saying some creepy mumbojumbo at this point, they seemed almost like aliens. Kyo waved, "Yo, I'm Kyo." He knew they understood human language because one said leader a moment ago. It was really weird standing right in front of them. Kyo watched as the girl reached for him, his instincts kicked in, the teen jumped back quickly, trying not to get harmed. He had no idea what powers the girl possessed and he wasn't ready for her to show him them on himself. Kyo looked at the two in disbelief, "Whaat the hell?" Kyo watched the two closely, trying to watch out for sudden movements.

urumi would watch the boy he would move back all fast and begin talking in the human language, Urumi knew some of it too. So why was he being mean she would move toward him again and Tabula rasa would grab her and she would stop before tabula rasa would simply growl at the man, then Urumi shoot forward aimed to grab the boy though she was only looking to play he didn't know that.

After jumping back Kyo would look at the two very quickly, sliding his eyes from her to the animal she was with. The trio stood there until the creature growled at Kyo. Almost at the same time, the girl that was there made her move. She moved rapidly towards Kyo, causing his eyes to widen, "What the?!" Kyo leaned back slightly a the girl got close. He was immediately holding his kunai in the reverse grip position as he aimed for sliding it across her throat as she got close. The two were extremely close together and it would be hard to dodge the attack as the blade was right in front of her. Kyo took a jump back and looked at the creature, not even looking if his attack on the girl succeeded or not. After glancing at the animal, Kyo ran off into the trees, jumping from branch to branch at C rank speeds, trying not to get himself killed. Why the hell did she try attacking him? That was just really weird. He didn't know becoming a missing ninja would cause everyone he met to try and kill him. He stopped after a while of running and concealed himself in the treetops, hoping he wouldn't be found by either of the two.

Tabula rasa would charger forward and swipe at the boy before stopping and opening his gates all the way too the fourth gate, he would track where the boy was rather easily but would stop and smell blood before looking back at Urumi who was holding her neck which had been cut open by the kunai Tabula rasa would then quickly run toward her before grabbing her and thinking he could seek help or avenge urumi then seek help. No there was no time he would take off toward the village.

Kyo looked back from where he had just came, nothing chased after him. It was dead quiet. Kyo stood in the tree on a branch with his hand on the tree trunk. Did he manage to hit a vital spot on her body? Kyo looked down at the kunai in his hand and noticed it was covered in blood. He had killed her. No way had their been a way for her to come back after getting her neck slit. Kyo put the kunai away after staring down in to the distance. He didn't mean to kill anyone, he was just protecting himself. Kyo put the kunai away and hopped down on the ground and continued to walk in the direction he was already going. One day as a missing ninja and he had already killed someone. He was surprised the creature didn't chase after him. Although it was probably grieving over its loss. Kyo still couldn't believe what happened. He then shook his head, he was a ninja, he needed to understand stuff like that happened, and being a missing ninja meant he was going to have to kill a few more in his life time.
