Welcome to Gaia! ::

An ANBU from Tsukigakure suddenly appeared in the lobby and walked quickly up the the desk and rang the bell set in the center of it. "I'm hear to speak with the Kage."

The ANBU glared slightly and set a scroll upon the desk stating, "I have no such time for those things, I will leave this here with you. Please give this to the Otokage when he returns."

The scroll states:

Dear Otokage,

We are offically opening our gates to all those who wish to trade for medical supplies. All potions and healing medicines are fresh, seeing as how the mountains have just come into full bloom. Since we cannot offer this trade year round I have decided to send a message to all. I also will personally see that all supplies are in top form for trading.

From the desk of the Tsukikage

"That is fine, as long as he recieves it. What he decides after that is of no consequence to me; but that scroll must be brought with whoever comes, if any do." He bowed slightly before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

A man in a long black coat decorated with red clouds appeared in front of the receptionist, a boy fell to the ground after him completely bound by ink, so much that he couldnt even speak. paying it no mind he spoke to Karen "if you would be so kind, i need to speak to your lord. And im sorry i have to say this, but a 'no' isnt an option. I have somthing that he may want."

A man in a purple cloak appeared before him. "May I help you?"

Yuuma turned almost lazily, "you are not the man i wish to speak to, so unless you can tell me about orochimaru's whereabouts no, im afraid you cannot help me. He then glanced over at the boy who was surveying the area "oh, are you searching for a way out? well im sorry i cant allow that." he leans down next to him and using the knife side of his paintbrush he cut into his skin just next to his jugular vein, but not enough to kill him, he pulled his sketch book to eye level with with the boy so he could see what he was drawing, and using the blood mixed with ink he drew a small doll looking character who looked almost exactly like Yuro. Yuuma turned down to the boy and smiled, "if i must keep you on a leash then i will", the picture began to grow turning into a small doll of the boy. "you see, this doll is now connected to your body, if i cut it, then you will be cut, but im not going to just let you take it on faith, ill give you a demonstration." he pulled his knife up to the arm of the doll, just on the other side of the elbow and cut deeply into it, Yuro's arm would not only feel the pain of being cut almost entirely through his body but that same cut would appear on his arm, blood pouring out. He then lifted a piece of clear rice paper up and drew what looked like stitches over the cut, sewing back together. "it would be a shame to lose you before you got to Orochimaru, and because i am an over achiever your chakra is bound as well," he drew a small seal on the chest of the doll.

((sorry, no chakra to send any more messages to home))

"I am afraid Orochimaru-Sama is indisposed at the moment. You will have to come back later I am afraid." The man said with out the slightest bit of interest and turned his back to them. "We have no interest in Akatsuki affairs."
