Located high above the Moon Village, this sacred place is also home to not only a fragment of the moon itself but the Tsukikage as well. But this isn't know to many people at all, in fact, the only ones that know of the exsistance is the Tsukikage and high ranked ANBU, Hunter-nin, and Elite Jounin. The temple is protected by a barrier that makes it completely invisible to even those who know its there and can not be seen until contact is made with the temple grounds, but the only a select few named by the Tsukikage can experience it.

The Tsukikage paced back and forth, she was tired of waiting for the news on her niece. She closed her eyes, trying to sense where she was; when a trace of her chakra appeared she disappeared towards it.

The Tsukikage appeared in the court room with Tsukiko at her side, she threw her to the side as if she were a rag doll. The figure dressed in white then walked up some steps that led to the marble thrown that stood at the head of the court; she then took a few seconds to make herself comfortable before her fiery red gaze turned to Tsukiko. "Do you know what troubling sourts that you have put your self in? Do you know what has happened in your absense?... I can give you no sympathy nor can I be lenient because you are of blood to me; in fact, it is that reason that I shouldn't be merciful in dealing with your punishment for betraying your village, your parents, your blood." The Tsukikage paused for a long second, closing her eyes and contemplating her next chosen words before she continued, "You will adress your case in front of me when those... boys you were with arrive at the North Gate." Another pause, this one much shorter than the last, "Until then, you will remain in that spot you are in and will not move until I tell you what you can do, Tsukiko."
Tsukiko said nothing, there was nothing that she could say. She was in trouble with the Tsukikage and that was that.

Tsukiko would feel a throbbing on her neck, the mark that was sealed by Doren would begin to glow blood red for a moment. A wicked laughter would enter her mind. "Good evening, Tsukiko. It's been a while." The voice was a malevolent whisper. "It saddened me to see you did not come and visit me... To restore your sight. You obviously chose love over being able to see the world in all its bloody splendor."

Tsukiko shuddered and grabbed her neck, bending over so that her face was hidden from the Tsukikage she grinced. Wah-What do you wah-want...? she asked back in a small voice; she was trying to remain as still as possible so that she wouldn't alert the Tsukikage that anything was amiss.
The Tsukikage stared off for a long while, mulling over the current situation in her head. It seemed that the boys that had been with Tsukiko before she had taken her back had yet to leave that place she had gone to. Whether it was over the fact that they couldn't figure out where she had taken Tsukiko or who is was that took her back, maybe they didn't want any trouble and decided it was best not to follow. I wouldn't put it against one of the allianced countries!

A dark chuckle echoed in her mind. "You will leave your present location by any means necessary, and you will seek me out. You will find me in the grace of the Waterfall, as we had originally agreed. And maybe you will have the backbone to show up this time."

Tsukiko shuddered again and pressed her hand hard against the mark on her neck, as if pressing away the voice's presence, I will not! I have betrayed my village enough as it is! I would rather die by my sensei's hand than go to you!
The Tsukikage let her eyes remain closed for a few more seconds before bringing her gaze to the lone figure huddled on the ground. She let her cheek rest on her hand as she let her red gaze linger on the girl, she noticed that she would shudder once and a while but the room did not seem to be all that cold. "Are you cold Tsukiko? Or is it that you cry because those boys have yet to come after you?"

"Your village? So you are home again I see.... Hm, well, if you do not wish to come to me, I believe I will have to come to you.... I think I will be seeing you very soon, my dear." The voice faded.

Tsukiko's eyes widened at his response. He... was coming... here...? "NO!" she shouted, quickly pushing herself up from her position on the floor and ran toward where she sensed the Tsukikage. Unable to sense the stairs she tripped over the first one and fell hard against the marble, but she was still determined to warn her Kage, "You close the gates, my lady! You mustn't let anyone enter the village from now on!"
The Tsukikage was surprised by the sudden out burst and raised an eyebrow at the young girl, "Why? I sense no danger towards my village as of now, what do you know that I do not?"

Her mark would begin to throb again, trying to silence her.

Tsukiko cried out at the throbbing mark, it was causing her whole body to hurt and she could feel her consciousness slipping, "... Ba-ku... is... coming... Aka... tsu... ki..." was all she was able to say before blackness took over.
The Tsukikage looked down at the girl with interest, "Hm? The Akatsuki you say?" Her gazed moved from the girl to the window high above the thrown room sensing that someone was entering village at that exact moment. "I see... He is strong and has much chakra, could he be one?" She disappeared from her thrown down next to Tsukiko checking on the girl before disappearing towards the visitor.

An ANBU appeared next to the unconscious girl. Gently pickling her up he then laid her on a large stack of pillows to the left of the Tsukikage's thrown, they were large and solf so she would be plenty comfortable. He checked to see if she had any wounds and saw that she had a small gash on her forehead, most likely from falling on the stairs. The ANBU pulled out a small kit and cleaned the wound before bangaging it, he then petted her hair lightly, calming her.
The Tsukikage walked slowly up a small hill before reaching the top to reveal a large crater in the ground. She looked up at the sky before closing her eyes, summoning the temple down. There was nothing to be seen before the Tsukikage opened her eyes and walked foward, right over the crater, looking as if she was floating above it. "You won't understand until you step forward."

Soren shot forward exactly as the woman had done. "I've seen stranger things before. Now where is she?"

"Do not demand things of me," the Tsukikage continued forward past the small ponds and up the marble steps to the temple, passed the entrance, and down a long hallway where at the end was a large room with a thrown on the other side where a figure lay with another above the first.
Hideki continued to stroke the girl's hair lovingly.

Soren's temper was rising but he kept it down since he knew it wasn't going to do any good right now. When he saw the other two he stopped, recognizing the smaller one immediately. He tried to call to her but at that moment he felt a sudden surge of pain in his neck. Grabbing the spot as if it might help stifle the pain he moved forward slowly.
