Rumiko stood near the border of the rogue forest. His bag strapped against his back and a kunai in hand unless a rogue attacked him. He whistled low and waited but nothing came. Please don't tell me he's not coming back. He sighed and sat down when something moved in the trees. Thenout popped a small head. Rumiko jumped up. "Hi." He said with a smile. He walked over and picked up the little dog with the white fur and blue eyes. "I thought you weren't coming," he said. He put the dog down and opened his bag pulling out small scrapes of beef meat and feeding them to him. The dog barked happily wagging his tell. "You're a good boy." Rumiko said petting him. He sat back and laughed as the dog started chasing it's tail then he laid back and wathed the stars.

The dog then stopped and growled. "Huh," Rumiki said sitting up. Someone was coming towards him. Oh man, he thought. What if it's Jaymaru. She'd have a fit. He stood up picking the dog up and his bag and running into the forest. "Quiet," he whispered. He stood as still as a statue dispite the dogs figiting.

Kinaga walked silently through the open. What if she's right.....? Kinaga stopped and looked around after hearing something...like a bag moving. What is that...? Kinaga looked at one of the trees and sighed. "Who's there?"

Rumiko started turning purple from holding his breathe. Oh no, they know I'm here.... He looked at the dog and set him down slwoly. The dog sat down on his belly. "Stay there," he whispered. He started to move around the forest setting up small traps. He set and explosive tag on several trees and trip wire to set them off. He pulled out a kunai. He didn't know who was out there, but they weren't getting in.

Kinaga walked through the forest quietly and saw a glint of a wire. He stopped and threw a kunai at it, cutting it loose. Kinaga jumped back a little as the tree next to him exploded. A decent trap.... He looked around and said louder "Who's there?"

Rumiko stood in a tree. This guy is good. He concerntrated on his chakara and flipped under the tree standing upside down. He pulled out a kunai and threw it to a small trip wire that was contected to several explosives. "Ninja Art: Monsoon Storm." A giant wave appeared ifnront of Unabra and then the eplosive tags eploded and the wave crashed down on him. Ha, let's see if you'll get past that...

Kinaga quickly pulled out his swords, put them together, and (I think this is his signature move or something) pulled them apart, creating the wind and separating the wave and dousing the explosions.

Rumiko blinked. "Uh....Unabara-sensei?" He said nearly falling off the tree. He quickly caught his balance. I've been fighting my sensei....Smart Rumi.... He jumped from the tree and stood infront of him. "Sorry." He said. "I didn't know that was you." He said rubbing his head. He turned a little pale waiting for Unabara's response. Please don't be mad, please don't be mad. (Rumiko is having a panic attack! JK)

Kinaga looked at Rumiko and sighed. I thought it was..... Kinaga laughed a little and looked at Rumiko. "That's okay, I didn't realize it was you either. So, what were you doing out here anyways?"

Rumiko smiled glad he wasn't made at him. "I was just taking a walk," he said smiling. He looked at the area they stood in. He'd done some real damage. "What are you doing out here," he asked.

Kinaga smiled a little. "Just...thinking," he said, looking around at the forest and putting his swords away. "Nice jutsu by the way."

"Uh, thanks," he said looking around. He'd left his bag and stuff with the dog and wondered where he was. Probably still with the bag or maybe he ran off somewhere. He looked at Unabra. "Thinking huh?" He said. "Why don't you think at your house?"

Kinaga looked off to the side, frowning. "I...." Kinaga wasn't one to lie, and he couldn't come up with a good one if he tried. He shrugged. "Just.....because." What're the odds, him and Jaymaru are the only two people I know that can put me at a loss for words...

Rumiko looked at Unabara. "Right, just because. Whatever you say Unabara -sensei," he said taking another look around. "Um, so...what now he asked." He was trying to get out of the rogue forest before Unabra found out why he was really here.

Kinaga looked at Rumiko and smiled, glad to be off the subject. "I don't know, but I'm pretty sure someone is waiting for you, right? I'm pretty sure that rustling noise I heard before wasn't just you."

Rumiko smiled. "Nope, just me." Hesaid with a smile. "Come on, let's go before some rogue attacks us." he said heading for the open. "Are you coming or not."

Kinaga frowned. Did he really come here just for a walk? That doesn't seem like him... Kinaga walked up next to Rumiko. "Okay, if you say so."

Rumiko sighed with relief. "Now what," he asked as he exited the forrest. It seemed quiet and strange. He had a moment were he thought a fight was about to break out and gave a nervous laugh when he noticed how paranoid he was being.

Kinaga shrugged and looked at Rumiko. "Does Jay know you're out here?" he asked, half knowing the answer to this question already.

Rumiko smiled. "Yep," he said. "I told her before I left. Told her I was going to take a walk to get some fresh air." He said with a smile. "Why would I leave without her knwoing anyway. If I do she'd think I was going to paint the Kage's Tower again." He said quietly.

Kinaga laughed. "I heard about that. Good point though." He looked back at the forest, hearing something running towards them....something....small. "Are you sure you were alone Rumiko?"

Rumniko paled. "Yeah," he said trying not to turn his attention from Unabara. "How about we go up to the lake," he said with a small smile. "It's better than sitting around here," he said.

Kinaga smiled and looked at Rumiko. "Listen, I won't tell your sister, but..." Kinaga let out a low whistle. "You need to start trusting me, Rumiko."

Rumiko looked at the ground as the smal whit puppy ran out of the woods. He wagged his tail and barked playfully running in circles. Unabara said he could start trusting him, but Rumiko didn't trust anybody these days. Not since two years ago when he got his second sensei that is.

Kinaga looked at Rumiko and frowned a little. "What's wrong Rumiko?" He glanced at the puppy who was still running in circles, then looked back to Rumiko.

"Huh, nothing," he said bending down to stop the dog from running in circles. He patted him on the head. "This is Isaac," he said. The dog grinned at Unabara, his blue eyes wide with ready to go play again.
