"I guess we're going to have to wake him up" Suichi laughed, reaching for a bucket which was filled to the rim with ice cold water. Sure enough being able to wake anyone up with that. "Let me have this one." A grin spread as wide as possible over his lips.

"Well, its going to be your funeral Suichi." A sigh came past Layla's lips as the words did as well, her eyes dropping to look down upon Ryozo, who had been out cold since the fight a week ago against Tsunade.

Suichi simply shrugged for a reply. "I'm sure Ryozo would want to catch up with Ronin, he's got a lot he would want to talk about." Now holding the bucket by the handle and the bottom he jerked it forwards and backwards three times, small drips falling to the floor as the contents swayed with the buckets change in direction.

Kairi and Senichi, now just sitting upon a log which was close by, waiting for either Ryozo to wake up shouting in the first couple of seconds, or for Suichi to scream and run in the other direction, the thought brought a smirk to Senichi's lips.

"This ort to be fun." Senichi turned his head slightly to face Kairi, who seemed to be in a world of her own all together. Her elbows' resting softly on her knees, as her chin was resting within the palm of her hands. Eyes fixed upon the male who was out cold upon the floor.

A small sigh now passed from Senichi's lips; obviously he was going to end up talking to himself for a while. As Layla had Suichi, and Kairi was slowly building a bridge she could use to talk to Ryozo.

'Damn, it's unfair, why don't I get someone' he thought to himself, glade that his mind was actually a place where he could talk to himself and not be called a freak by any of the others.

"Go!" Suichi now shouted as he threw the water, as well as the bucket over Ryozo, forcing him either by the water or the bucket to wake up. As by chance Ryozo shot straight up from his dead like position, with the bucket clenched within his hand ready to use as a weapon.

"You're a dead man" Ryozo's teeth now gritted together, as Suichi backed away ever so slightly, knowing he wouldn't be able to out run Ryozo, as he was always the slower one within the group.

Ryozo now slowly standing up, as his body was rather weak, and stiff from not moving for close enough a whole weak, he found it difficult to start with. "This is for your head damn it… If it's not or later."

"He's up finally." A smirk crossed over Kairi's lips, as she slowly stretched herself out, arms over her head as well as her chin back as she looked up to her hands. "Come on Senichi. Guess its time to be heading out soon." She giggled ever so slightly, as now he was the one who was lost within his own mind.

Now taking his chances, Suichi darted away from Ryozo as fast as possible. "He won't catch me, he won't! Gah! He's going to catch me sooner or later"

"Well, their all feeling a lot better now." Layla didn't care that she seemed to be talking to herself. But not even once this week, had either Senichi or Kairi picked on her. "I wonder…Probably because they wanted Ryozo to survive… I don't know" She shrugged her shoulders ever so slightly, as she would never be sure. Although things would soon be back to what they used to be.

"Ah, I can't be bothered with him." Ryozo dropped the bucket to the floor, before his glaring gaze feel upon Layla. The glare soon falling from his eyes, as a small smile – one of appreciation crossed his lips before he nodded towards her. "Thanks."

Kairi now jumping up to her feet, as Senichi would snap out of his own mind due to the movement, before slowly following her over to Ryozo and Layla. As Suichi wasn't to sure whether or not he should go back over to them as he stopped with enough distance left to hear an 'Okay' if he could come back.

"Where going after him." Ryozo spoke ever so softly, Senichi the one who was closest would be the only one able to hear what he had actually said, as Kairi and Layla seemed to be exchanging looks against one another.

Senichi's eyes seemed to quiver at the thought of going after Ronin – The one that trained them to be what they are today. "You know we've not improved since the last time we met him."

"I know." Ryozo shock his head from left to right, his wet hair slowly losing its stick to the side of his head, as it slowly began to turn back into its regular red from the heat of the sun.

"Well, how do you think we can beat him then?" Senichi's gaze turned to Suichi, as a hand slide up into the air to wave him back over, but Ryozo slammed the arm back to Senichi's side.

"Its best if we keep this between me and you for the moment. No one else should know the risk involved Senichi." Ryozo's grip upon Senichi's arms tightened, slowly causing a pain to build up within the hand as no blood was flowing within that part of his body.

"Fine, but how do you think we will ever be able to find him Ryozo?" Senichi's hand now clenching and unclenching as he was trying to find a way that he would be able to feel his hand again, as Ryozo finally let go, and flew his hand within his jackets pocket searching for something.

"With something he gave me a long time ago…" Ryozo smirked ever so slightly, now pulling it out from within his pocket. Raising it up so that Senichi would be able to read it;

"If your ever lost, remember this – Just put Chakra into this card and you can be lead straight back to me Ryozo"

"He gave it to me a long time ago, when I first came to the camp and met you guys, so I suggest we use it now, while we still have time too act against him." A small smirk crossed over Ryozo's lips, his crimson red eyes showed a small glint within the light of the sun. "After all, I doubt he got better at his fighting skills as well. He's had no one to train with."

"You never know Ryozo… This will mean we'll have to train on our way there then."

"Hay! Are you two going to whisper all day, or involve us in your conversation?" Kairi had her hands folded over her chest, a dark glare warn across her face as her hands where balled into fists ready to hit the person who next spoke within a whisper.

"It's nothing." Senichi lied blatantly to her, only to see how she would react, but she didn't seem to react at all.

"We're going to follow something… We've got to take a detour of our current goals." Ryozo, not lying as much as Senichi, but it seemed to be more of the truth. "And we've got no idea where we will be taken."

"Whatever. Just involve us next time." A glare passed her eyes even more than it did the last time, as it was meant for Ryozo, knowing that he had bent the truth to suit a cover up type of method.
