Kaoru:I can get up early when its important.

Kenshin:*Sniffs* Miss Kaoru are you cooking?*Worried expression on his face.*

Kaoru:Well of course we will need breakfast before our long trip.

Sanosuke:You sure don't look it.Haha.

Yahiko:I can never get used to being on a ship.

Sanosuke:*Whistles to himself.*

Yahiko:I just don't see why we have to go see him.

Yahiko:I mean he doesn't seem to like Kenshin and especially not us.

Sanosuke:Well he's the only one I know like it or not that can help us.

Yahiko:*Sigh.* I guess your right.

Naruto:Why are you here? Up for a early walk?

Hianta:*Looks up real quick then back at the ground* *Blushes*

Hianta:No ...I ....uh..

Sakura:So what happened to "I'm never late!"?

Naruto:*Narrows his eyes* Yeah sensi?

Kakashi:Well you see there was this cat stuck in a tree....

Kakashi:And I was the only one who could save it otherwise I would have been on time.

Kakashi:*Smile*

Sakura:*Whispers to Naruto* Hasn't he used that excuse before?

Naruto:*Whispers back to Sakura* Yeah I believe so.

Kakashi:*Sigh* Hello Hianta I see you made it too.

Hianta:*Speaks softly* Yeah..

Sasuke:Huh sensi whats going on?

Sakura:{Thats what I've been wondering as well.}

Kakashi:The Hokage requested we take her along .

Kakashi: We also have a four week grace period but if were not done by then; y'all will have to take the exam next year.

Sakura:*Phew* {I'm sure hopefully we can finish by then.}

Naruto:So your part of our team now huh Hianta?

Hianta:*Looks up* Yea Naruto Kun. *Smiles*

Naruto: We just seem to be getting more and more friends.

Sasuke:Does she really have to go sensi?

Sasuke:I mean with you and me we got it covered.

Naruto:*Glares at Sasuke*Me too!

Kakashi:I'm aware of y'all abilities.*Sigh*

Sasuke:But..{Oh this is gonna get harder later on being myself all the time around her.}

Sasuke:(Then again I don't want her to think I'm that cold.}

Kakashi:Listen the Hokage requested her to go it must be for a good reason.

Hianta:{Maybe Sasukes right how can I be any help?)*Her eyes water up*

Kakashi:And I know why. Hianta has special gift so she can help us faster, to find a way to get these people home.

Kakashi:I believe in her.

Hianta:*The tears go away* *smile*

Kakashi:Even though shes from another team right now shes on ours.

Kakashi:So I want y'all to respect her and while were on this mission treat her as one of us.

Naruto:Hear that Hianta your one of us.*Smiles*

Hianta:*Bows* Thank you for letting me help you on this mission I will try my best.

Kakashi:Well lets get going before it gets too late.

Sakura:Maybe if someone was on time....

Inuyasha:Kogome wanna ride on my back? It will be faster.

Kogome:Well ok.*Climbs on his back*

Kaoru:{Hmm Kenshin never asks me that.}

Sasuke:Hmph{On his back huh I'm sure shes not that slow.)

Hianta:Sasuke....*Looks deeply in his eyes* *Her eyes sparkling*

Sasuke:*Blushes but quickly regains himself* Yea what is it?

Hianta:Its nothing really .*Speaks softly* But your on my foot.

Hianta:Could you please...if its no trouble...

Sasuke: O..sorry.{So false alarm of course geez I'm a idiot for a minute there I thought...o well}

Shippo:Ouch ....

Sango:Cut that out we need to go now.

Miroku: O well I guess we could but the only thing to

Sango:*Pushes him away* *Slaps Miroku hard enough to

leave a hand mark.*

Sango:Pervert!

Miroku:Owww.. well it was worth a try.

Miroku:Huh...... someones here a strong demon.

Sango:*Put her boomerang in a defensive position*

Miroku:*Starts untying the beads on his hand*

Demons voice:So its Inuyasha's foolish human friends I see.

Miroku:Its....

Sango:What do you want?!

.....................................................................................................................

* Night begins to fall after hours of walking*

Kakashi:Well its seems we haven't found anything yet.

Kakashi: So this seems like a good spot to stop off for the night.

Kakashi:No one has attacked us so we can assume no ones after us.

Sakura:Thats a relief.

Kakashi:But don't let down your guard.

Sasuke:Easy enough.

Naruto:So all I want to know is who stays up first?*Smiles*

Kogome:Im starting to get tired.

Inuyasha:I don't see why..You didn't have to walk much.
