Yoma watched with callous eyes towards the pink hair teen, who flew next to Shira. Chatting away joyously, the young male obvious was enjoying their time together. Still heading towards the Land of Earth, Temari speculated it would take a few more hours before arriving. But the kounichi could care less. Her mind focused on one thing, and one thing only. Her deep building bitter jealously, that showed despite her calm look. Her brows started to deepen more, a low growl slowly emitted from her lips. A part of her itching to reach for a kunai and 'accidentally' let it fly in the direction of the girl. Who just flew, while the rest of them jumped from tree branch to branch.
Watching her innocently laugh from what Shira said, deepen her bitterness. It was bad enough at the camp they set up how attentive he had become to her, offering his help and going off with her when she went to find supplies to make the meal for everyone. She just openly talked so causally. As if everyone was her friend for years, regaling everyone with eccentric stories that seem to made up. Temari, Sen, Shira and Miokshi enjoyed May's genuine aura. Her presence seem to ease and make everyone feel at peace. The mood became so light, but heavy to Yoma and two others.
Even with her enhanced eyesight, Yoma couldn't see what it was that May had. But it was something, to make Shira stay by her side and enjoy her company. Man was her hand inching to reach for that kunai and throw it. Feelings someone next to her, she finds Matsuri and Yukata on either side of her. They look at her smiling, then quickly turn their sights upon May. Yoma could see the same look in their eyes she had. A kinder spirit, if not.
Both girls though where vibrant on showing how they felt, compared to herself. Though she knew it had nothing to do with Shira, like herself she knew it was for something. Focusing back ahead, all three girls formalizing some sort of plan in their heads.
Hours went by, and as the trees started to fade, becoming replaced with cliffs, step caverns, jagged thin mountains. With a bit of nature on the edges, there was no doubt this was the Land of Earth. You could feel the cool breeze blowing through the caverns, the smell of heavy rock and earth mixed together, as the wind blew through giving a slight whistling sound that carried throughout. The place was nothing but grays and darker grays, slightly depressing even with the sun shinning down penetrating through tops of the mountains, still did not add the light necessarily needed.
Temari told everyone to stay close, her voice though low still echoed through. While everyone walked down below through the caverns. You took to much higher grounds but not to high. Just enough to serve the area. Amazed by the way this Land was, how people lived here astonished you greatly. Your childlike innocents took you over, flying up higher to look at everything around you.
Living in a concrete jungle was defiantly different compared to this world. It was so open, so refreshing you could feel so much from it. Nature surrounded it all, something you deeply loved. Ever since opening your first book, seeing the breath taking pictures of open fields, mountain ranges, crystal clear lakes, skies beaming with bright blue and soft lively clouds, flowers always blooming no boundaries in sight. Pure freedom bliss, fresh air not smog filled air that caused one to cough or gag, no running polluting vehicles, trash on every single corner.
Home wasn't bad, no but sometimes it just seem to tight and constricted. But here in this world, it didn't not at all. The wind whipped through your hair tickling you, pleasing laughter escape your lips of joy. A rush of excitement came over you all of sudden, becoming lost in such that you had not paid attention to the others down below. Not realizing they had left without you, breaking one of Temari's rules she held with great importance. In your own world now, flying through marveling at the structure of this place. It was sturdy none the less, birds some made their homes here.
Passing them, going higher, aimlessly mind your very own business. If only the others could see this, when it came to your mind. You had to bring something back, back to the village for the others, Mr. Kai, Kaito and Kankuro. But mainly Gaara, he must not be able to go beyond his village and enjoy such wonders and scenery like you and the others could.
Thinking of what would be right to bring back for the Kazekage, already having in mind what you would for the other three. There had to be something, but what?
Pondering this you move further away from the others who where in the opposite direction of you.
With the others, still walking towards the meeting point to meet up with the Tsuchikage. Everyone remained quiet, listening to everything around them. Steadily they push forward, with Temari in the lead and Shira in the back, the rest in the center. Nothing happened yet, no surprised no ambush. Everything was going well so far. If they could do this correctly then all would be well.
Still that did not mean, no one shouldn't keep their guard up. Breathing was down to a minimal, everyone's racing heart that raced from either fear of anticipation had to tell themselves to calm down. They where sure, their heartbeats could be heard by the others. Which would clearly give away their position.
While everyone kept walking, Shira stops looking around. His sudden stop made the others do so as well, Yoma looks to him concerned."Shira, what's wrong?"she asks.
Her questions reached Temari, the woman stops looking to the calm young man, who clearly counting with his eyes. Something wasn't right she could tell, just as she was about to ask, he looks up realizing what it was."May, she's not with us."
Hearing that, Temari quickly looks up not to find her genin with them. Staying calm, but it showed her panic wondering where the girl could have gone off to. She was sure to keep a sharp eye upon her while she flew up ahead, but then again May was the type to be easily amazed by something. That damn innocents of her made her curios about to so much. Which she knew had to be the reason she went off, no doubt wanting to explore this place. Which no matter how she looked at it, was a red flag, she thoroughly explained to everyone the very importance of this mission and what was at steak here should anything go wrong. It was bad enough that the two lands already had history with eachother, and this little gestures of kindness they so called it. Could mean much.
But now, it could all just fall apart because someone did not take in consideration for their simple dissension. Stuck, Temari had to meet with the Kage, with the amount of faces that was stated and to meet up at right on time. If May where to be found by any other from the village, the wrong view would be seen. And easily misinterpreted, not mention what would happen to May. She didn't understand the servility of her choice right now, she could easily tip the hotplate scale.
Giving Land of Earth a reason to start senseless war. She wanted to turn back and try to find May, but what good would that do? The Tsuchikage was no doubt already waiting, and keeping track of the time they would all meet. The others could see, even though she didn't show. Temari was trying to figure out what to do. Keep going or just leave May to her fate or hope that she finds them quickly meeting up with them.
While the jonin ravished in the hectic thoughts, three others lavished in delight. Though their faces stayed straight, inside they smiled from victory. They knew awhile back May left the group but refused to say anything. Knowing full well what might or could happen and from what they could get together from her, she did not seem like the type who could fight. Her appearance itself was delicate and fragile looking. Making her an easy target should she become one.
Snickering silently with each other, their imaginations where getting the better of them. Sooner or later they might hear a scream or just nothing at all. Such an airheaded girl she was, wondering off. That's what she got, it was only right. Taking away the attention they so greatly craved for, which now could be on them once again, if they ever had it.
While they enjoyed their victory, Shira started to walk off. Catching Yoma's attention."Shira, wh-where are you going?"she watches the young man walk start to run off. Everyone looks at him, Shira stops turning around to them.
"I will go and look for, May. We are to all be together."Shira looks directly to Temari."She doesn't realize the danger she has put herself in. I will bring her back, please keep going."Temari gives him a nod of approval, telling him to hurry up.
Shira takes off away from the group with great speed. Temari watches him till he was out of sight, though her faith was shaky she kept her fingers crossed that May would be found. Yoma watched sadly as he left to find the sweet girl.
Shira jumps to a ledge looking around, for any sign of pink hair or golden eyes. He wanted to call for her, but knew he couldn't making this search much harder. He wished he would have brought, Yoma. Her eye sight would come in handy. Looking around, there was nothing at all. So he leapt off, to the next ledge, clinging with his iron grip, like a falcon he eyed every single thing. But saw nothing, he could feel himself start to become anxious that he would not be able to find her.
But he had to, for the sake of his village, for Temari and for other reasons. It was something about May, her presence was very enlightening and was enchanting he wasn't sure. It was something, though that made her seem to glow with this strange radiance he himself couldn't explain. He felt some sort of understanding, through her words she, the comfort and kindness in her eyes and joy through her smile. Many would think she was empty, but he didn't. He knew she was far from it, in so many.
It was clear she was an openhearted person, that took pleasure in the comfort of others and their needs. She easily warmed up to him, which he had her. Landing down, he looks around for any sign of May. His heart was racing now, he was starting to become worried. He didn't want to think if anything happen to her, not to someone like that. Who glowed with such life.
Doing his best to hold in his own yell, he wanted to unleash so badly to get some sort of response. He leaps to another ledge, more focused on finding May that he did not see his footing land, until he slipped from it. Falling down fast, he shoots a hand out to grab the ledge. Only to miss it, he was falling fast without any way of grabbing onto anything. The ground seem to be getting closer, getting ready for impact.
A hand quickly grabs hold of his wrist, jerking him a bit. Stopping the young man from falling to his death. The touch from them was so soft and tender as well firm. His deep brown eyes look, finding what look like some sort of angelic being due to the sun's rays hitting them from behind casting a enchanting shadow over them. Their hair flowed gently like a river in the wind. With their other hand moving a few hair strands out their face. A smile of relief reveled itself, their concerning eyes relaxed knowing they came just in time.
Slowly they descend with Shira, bring him to the ground carefully. The young man, felt his fee touch the earth, you drop right next to him. Looking over to see if there had been an injuries, just to make sure raising your hands on either side of his face and begin to heal him. Shira just stood there looking at you, while you where more focused on him, realizing he was looking at you. Assuming he was still in a state of shock of almost dying you smile at him. Telling him all was well.
Sensing he was healed, you take your hands back. Realizing he was by himself."Where is everyone?"
Shira snaps out of it."They went up ahead."he finally finds the words. Pointing in the direction he came."I came to find you, since you separated from the group. We should hurry to meet up with them, Temari Sensei most likely will be there. W-"
Before he could finish, sensing the presence of two others, they drop down behind you both. Out of instinct Shira puts an arm out infront of you for protection looking hard at the figures that stood right across from you two.
