Re: Unexpected to Say the Least

[RippedNose]

Ryota groaned and let his head hit the table again, making a loud thumping noise, and probably a big red mark on his forehead, not that he cared. He was about to get up when he realized how comfy it was like that, so he decided to stay there for a bit longer, not really planning on falling asleep, though he did, waking up about 10 minutes later, realizing that he was late he dragged himself to his feet as best he could and limped down the hallway, grabbing his cloak from his room and washing his face quickly, grabbing his clay and some kunai, and grabbing his sword, just in case he would need it, before making his way to Pein's office, trying to keep his head low so that the back of his head was hidden by the high collar of the cloak. He finally made it to Pein's office, sitting down, about 5 minutes late. "Sorry, I fell asleep" he mumbled, still trying to keep his head low.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Pein glared at Ryota as the blond walked in five minutes late but sighed and started explaining the mission anyway. He had been quietly ignoring Revelation the entire time. He put his elbows on the top of his desk and his head on his hands looking at both of them, "I've been tipped that a group that goes by the name Taka has been heading towards our base. This group consists of four people that we know of. I would send Itachi and Kisame on this mission for being the most level headed aside from myself and Konan...but they both know a member and the fact that they do might waver their judgement...so i decided o send you two...not that you were my second choice...but no, Deidara seems to have decided to injury himself seriously and probably won't be on any missions for a long while yet...So you two are being sent." At this he took out a map of the country and pointed to the location of their base a the border of he grass and fire countries. As of right now they are here, he pointed somewhere between Konohagakure and the Oto/Ho border. from there he drew a line with his finger towards the base, "They have, for the most part been heading in a straight line towards us, so i'm sure you won't have any trouble finding them...There is a cliff face in this general area" he circled with his finger about half way between the base and where he said they had started, just south of Taki, "I'm almost %100 sure they will come here that was seeing as it is almost impossible to cross." With that he rolled up the map and put it back in his desk, "I'm counting on you two to do this. The four are extremely powerful ninja...Their names are: Juugo he has Orochimaru's cursed seal as well as the thunder/fire elemental Sasuke Uchiha, who, as his name might suggest, always has the power of he Sharingan, though i cannot be sure if it is as powerful of Itachi's. There is also Karin, she's a chakra sensor. Lastly there is Suigetsu Hoozuki, he was at one point an apprentice of one of the great seven swordsmen of the mist, and has in his possesion a sword called the Executioner's Blade, he can turn his body into water whenever he needs, impervious to most physical attacks...the only reason we know so much is because of Zetsu who has been following them for a while now..." He sighed, tired after the long explanation. "Well that's all you two may go... the journey shouldn't be long...less then a day if your fast...so get going..." With that he finished.

Revelation sighed atfer taking in all the information, he knew he would be fine, though they didn't sound like a fearsom bunch, the two of them should probably be careful.He stood up as Pein dismissed them and started walking towards the exit of the base calmly thinking over possible plots. Zetsu had been following them, they knew quite a bit about their opponents they shouldn't have any trouble with them. There shouldn't be any surprises...He looked over his shoulder to make sure Ryota was coming, and no to tired to move.

[RippedNose]

Ryota was too tired to pay attention, so he stared blankly at a spot on the wall, not really caring much anyways. He would get Revelation to explain it to him later, and even if the albino wouldn't explain, he could always just follow. He heard the last bit about being fast and let out a snort of laughter. "Yeah. . . so fast: he muttered, dragging hismelf to his feet again, no matter how much he just wanted to sit there, even if it was in Pein's office. He would sit anywhere at the moment, he was too tired. He followed Revelation out slowly, limping and keeping his head down, not wanting the back of his head to be seen. Even half asleep, that was the thing he wanted least. His feet dragged along the hallway as he went, not even caring about the pain in his leg, though he swayed as he walked, his eyes half closed and on the ground, not even paying attention to where he was going.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Revelation looked back at Ryota and frowned as he remebered the wounds he had given him earlier. He sighed, it may have been the last thing he wanted to do right now, but it would make the mission much easier, especially seeing as he wouldn't have to listen to Ryota complaining about how much his leg was bothering him, "Want to make a bird...if we fly it'll be a lot easier..." he said, dreading the words as they came out of his mouth, knowing that he was going to be sick.

[RippedNose]

Ryota looked up at Revelation as he spoke, not really hearing the words. He stumbled to a halt and tilted his head to the side, his face almost completely expressionless, except for a bit of confusion. "Huh. . . ?" he asked confusedly, blinking a few times. He yawned widely before looking back to Revelation, wondering what he had said, though not particularily caring, thinking it was something stupid anyways.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Revelation sighed and clenched his fists, wondering what it would take to wake up this idiot. His hand ended up twitching to his gun which he pulled out of its hollister and shot at the ground at Ryota's feet before aiming it inbetween his eyes, "What i was saying was, what the hell will it take to wake you up?" He asked furiously. He swore they couldn't have picked a worse pair of people to be partners. Ryota was everything that ticked Revelation off in a person, and he'd been quite tempted to kill Ryota multiple times over already.

[RippedNose]

Ryota flinched in surprise as the bullet hit the ground near his feet and his eyes snapped open. He wasn't really that awake still, but surprise got his attention for at least a bit until he settled down. There was a trace of fear in his face before he glared at the albino, crossing his arms. "I don't know, but maybe if you hadn't made me scared to sleep, you wouldn't have to. So it's your fault bast-" his words were interrupted by a yawn before he completed his insult. "-ard. Now what'd you really say?" he asked, sure that it hadn't been something about waking ihm up. Even in his subconcious, it had sounded too different.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Revelation kept the gun pointed at Ryota's forhead, hoping to at least keep his attention this time, "I was just saying that this journey would probably be easier if we flew, are you up for that?" he said in an agitated voice. His trigger finger twitching but he didn't pull, he couldn't, no matter how much he wanted to. He had ignored everything else he had said, Ryota could have slept if he wanted to, he lived with the Akatsuki wouldn't he be scared of sleeping anyway? It didn't matter, Revelation didn't care anyway.

[RippedNose]

Ryota continued to glare at him, though when he heard what the albino had said before his eyes lit up and he grinned. "Hell yeah. . . I'm always up for it, though you're obviously not" he laughed quietly to himself and yawned again, limping down the hallway, a bit more awake with the fact that they were flying. It would make the whole trip faster, and more enjoyable for him, seeing as he couldn't walk very easily at the moment. "If you puke on me though I swear I'll do a loop or something. . . " he threatened.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Revelation sighed as he put his weapon away. He knew wha Ryota said was true, but at least he seemed to be more awake now. He followed Ryota out of the base and a Ryota's last remark he rose an eyebrow, "If you do a loop, i'm not going to fall off, im just going to puke more." he said, hoping that Ryota wouldn't even attempt one. He didn't want to fly at all, he didn't know why he was doing this to himself. To get the mission done and over with as soon as possible? Ya. No matter how much he didn't care about the mission in general i sure sounded like it would lead to a good fight.

[RippedNose]

Ryota rolled his eyes limping towards the entrance to the base. He stuck his hands in the soft clay hanging at his waist, the mouths on his hands biting at it as he walked. "Then I'll just fly upside down. . . then ever if you do puke and manage to hold on, the puke can't hit me. . . it'll just fall" he said with a grin. He had only fallen off of his bird once, and that was because he was being careless. He had flown upside down a few times, but not for very long, though he was sure he'd be able to for long enough to get Revelation off if he wanted.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Revelation just glared at him as he even suggested flying upside down, it wouldn't be as bad as a loop. He would rather not fly at all, but didn't say anything he didn't want to start arguing with Ryota now and make this flight even more unbearable then he knew it was going to be. He looked around a little more as they exited the base and he waited for Ryota to make the damn bird so they could get this over with.

[RippedNose]

Ryota yawned as they exited the base and he moulded the clay in his fingers, creating the bird that they would be flying on, and tossing the little bird on the ground, tiredly making a handsign and muttering 'katsu', too tired to do anything else, but finding it necessary. The bird grew in size until it was big enough for three people to sit comfortably, so he crawled on, sitting at the very front, shifting the sheath that held his sword so that it was comfortable.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Revelation jumped onto the bird as well and seated himself behind Ryota. He looked at he sword on Ryota's back and one eyebrow rose high up on his forhead, he had never seen it before and he wondered why. It was a weird looking blade if anything, "What the hell is with that sword?" he asked, "I've never seen you with it before..." he finished, actually slighly curious. He reallyhad never seen anything like this blade, and he had seen some odd weapons before.

[RippedNose]

Ryota glanced back as Revelation asked about his sword, grinning. "It's my mom's old sword. I don't bring it with me alot of the time, but I decided to this time, since I was too tired to payt attentiont to what we're supposed to be doing, so just in case, I've got it. It's great. It completely rips apart flesh" he grinned sickly, turning back to the front, and making the bird take off, the cool air waking him up more already. It was still dark out, and it was nice, if only he didn't have Revelation with him.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

He nodded at Ryota's explanation but then they took and that farmiliar, terrible feeling his his gut and he couldn't help it when he leaned over the side and puked. He hated this so much. He sighed, hoping maybe if he kept his mind off the fact that they were flying he wouldn't puke...as much. He stared at the back of Ryota's head, "Also, since what Pein said, I'm sort of curious. He said something about Itachi's eyes....what's so special about them?" he asked.

[RippedNose]

Ryota couldn't help but smirk as his partner leaned over the edge of the bird and puked. "You really have a weak stomach" he said with a laugh. At the question he turned his head to look at the albino, raising an eyebrow. "What? Do you live under a rock or something?" he asked, as if it was common information, but really, he wouldn't know if it was or not, having lived with the Akatsuki all his life. "He's got the Sharingan. . . what did Pein say about it? No, better question, where are we going?" he really had no idea, just flying in a random direction.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Revelation sighed, sorta of mad at the lack of an answer he was given, "Fire Country, just south of Taki...there are some cliff faces apparently, we should set up for an ambush... but please, i would like to know more about the Sharingan, because apparently i HAVE been living under a rock all my life," he said rolling his eyes.

[RippedNose]

Ryota nodded, bringing the bird areound in the sharp turn. he had been going completely the wrong way. "Ugh, the Sharingan is some weird eye thing that the Uchiha's all have. It's like. . . red, with black comma-ish thingies in it, and it's got a bunch of stages, like one, two, and three commas, and then the Mangekyo Sharingan I think. Uhh, they're really powerful, yadda yadda yadda, Itachi's got this thing that he does that pretty much traps you in an illusion for him to torture you either physically or mentally for like. . . I dunno the exact time. . . its a few days to the person he's using it on. It's like. . . the most powerful genjutsu ever, or something like that. Now what'd Pein say about it? Are we facing an Uchiha or something?" he turned to look at Revelation, having no idea what they were actually going against.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Revelation almost puked again at the sharp, sudden turn, but instead listened to Ryota's terrible explanation oh the Sharingan. Sure he got a few good points across. But it brought up more questions. Do all Uchiha have the Mangekyou Sharingan? How was it different from the regular Sharingan? Do all of them have the same abilities? But seeing as he didn't think Ryota would be able to answer these questions he went on to answer his questions, "Ya, Pein said one of the members was an Uchiha....Uchiha, Sasuke...Do you know anything about him. Pein seemed to know the most about him...sounded tough..."

[RippedNose]

Ryota listened as Revelation answered his question, nodding. "Uh, yeah I think he's Itachi's brother actually. . . my dad fought him once. . . I think? I'm not quite sure. . . never really cared much. He's probably pretty good. . . I don't know much about him though" he really didn't care about Sasuke, or Itachi, or any Uchiha, if there were any more alive, though he was pretty sure that there wasn't, Itachi having killed his whole family. The night air had really woken him up, though it was weird not feeling his ponytail whipping out beihnd his head as he flew. He scowled at the thought, still pissed about that, as he probably would be for awhile.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Revelation nodded. So this Sasuke was Itachi's brother...He had another question he wondered if Ryota knew anything about "What about the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist? Do you know anything about them?" He asked raising an eyebrow, they sounded like they would be tough as well. And for some reason hearing that name made him think of the shark like man, Kisame with his large bandaged sword. He pondered the thought of Kisame possibly being a memeber.

[RippedNose]

Ryota thought for a moment, having heard of them before. "Uhh, yeah I think Kisame was one. . . he's obviously not anymore, but he was. . . I've heard they're pretty good too. . . never met one other than the shark-man though" he said with a shrug. He never really payed attention to much in the world, just completing the missions he was sent on, only caring how powerful the person or people he would have to oppose were, just so he would know what to expect. Other details didn't matter, so they pretty much went in one ear and out the other.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Revelation nodded, so he had been right Kisame was one of these Swordsmen. He wondered of this Suigetsu character was stronger or not, he couldn't help but doubt it but the sound of physical attacks won't do much good on him didn't sound to great, he hopped that explosions would be able to do the trick. He sighed. The weakest link in this group from the information he had been given was Karin, it didn't sound like she was any good at fighting, only for tracking, but they really only had one way of finding out. "And i'm guessing you don't know anything about any sort of Curse Seal..." he said, he didn't say it liked a question as he was pretty sure already that Ryota would have no idea.

[RippedNose]

Ryota flew the bird smoothly for the most part, but he didn't notice any of the little jerks or movements from turbulence or anything, too used to flying. At the question about curse seals he shrugged again. "Heard of them. . . didn't care enough about what they are to actually find out. . . as long as I don't get one, I'm good" he said with a slight smirk. He really didn't care about things that didn't concern him, at all. "I'm guessing one of the shitheads we're looking for has one? And one is one of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist? Or used to be?" he guessed, thinking it over a bit more. If they were, they'd be pretty tough. So why was Pein sending them? He had no idea what they were supposed to be doing anyways.
