Rae growled, obviously this Ashi was not going to reveal himself, and by the looks of things, was only trying to gather information, if he came with only two. She smiled, rolling her eyes. "Lets go Blue, This isn't worth it." She laughed and began to pad away from the scene, her brother right behind her. The two were identical, nearly. Blue was more bluish gray, and Rae brownish gray, Blue stood six inches taller than his sister and was obviously more masculine.
Rae trotted into the area of the hotsprings, the stench was something she was accustomed to. "All the Nin-ken have left to join that Ashi's army a while back ago. So these lands are mostly empty." She said, staring around at all the pools of steaming water. "Where are you from anyways? Your eyes so so odd.." she said, no offense was meant in her words.

Aki stared at Makoto, seeming like he was angry at the large dog. Then after a few hearbeats he gave a small chuckle. "I don't need help. I can do things on my own." He laughed, eyes opening to face the dog. The Akita stopped for a moment, looking up at Makoto. "We sho-" He paused as Rae and Blue soon appeared a few moments later.
As they spoke of the Koga Nin-ken, he gave a nod. "We should be careful. Other enemies might lurk around." He noted, turning his muzzle to they're empty fangs. They must not have found whoever that was. He gave a sigh as he turned to Makoto. "Can you help Tokimune into the spring." He said, sitting down onto the ground.
"I'm going to rest." He gave a huffled sigh.

Makoto blinked at Rae.
"Really?" he never thought of his eyes as odd before...He honestly never cared they were two different colors. The only time he saw himself was when he took a drink, and could see his reflection. "Well, your eyes look better." He grinned awkwardly, then flicked an ear. 'What the hell did I just say? Did that even make sense?'
He shook his head, hearing Aki's request. "Y-Yeah, sure," he replied to the young Akita before padding closer to Tokimune. "Hold on..." he slid under him halfway, then slowly crouched into a big hotspring pool. He gently let him slip in, then slowly walked into the pool himself.

Rae looked at Makoto confused for a second then her whole body started to shake, She looked up again, small giggles running from her maw. "Ahahaha, Your silly." She said lightly, crawling into the spring aswell, "They're not odd, as in bad, odd as in unique, One green, one red.." She trailed off, looking at them again.

Rin turned her head towards ashi and said ina low voice so no one else could hear" doyou think we should kidnap aki?" She then sligthly wagged her tail and her ears hanging down, her tongue loling, and she was bored she wanted to get soemthing good in her life.

The question bounced around in his head, knocking loose tens of thousands of other questions. What to do if we kidnap him... what use would he be... what would the reaction be... So many questions overwhelmed his mind. He shook his head in an attempt to knock them out. He would answer her, but it wouldn't be a definite answer. "If we do, it won't be now, they still have wounded, so they wont go very far for a few days. I say we find out more, then kidnap their leader. If we get lucky, by then they'll be weaker because they might be food deprived by then. We'll see though." He hoped that waiting here for a few days wouldn't result in disaster.

Rin's ears perked back up "Smart plan ashi"

"But wait, Ashi,"
A feminine voice rang from above the duo, on the branch of a tree in the shadows. Her fur was a pale cream-brown in color, and around her neck extending to her back was a red cape-like piece of clothing that held a ring, which kept a shuriken in-tact and available when she needed one.
"If we do choose to kidnap the pup," she continued, "Wouldn't the best time be now? While they're tired from travel and still weak from no food or rest? If we attack any later, that Iga dog with them will be suitable for fighting, which will make the kidnapping harder," she finished, flicking an ear curiously at her leader.
"I think we should strike now," Haru concluded after a moment of silence.
Makoto looked at Rae and smiled. "T-Thank you..." he gulped, unsure of what to say next. "Err...I don't think my eyes are as interesting as yours, though..." He tried to stall, and think of more things to say. "I mean, your eyes are pretty."
He froze, blood growing as hot as the pool. "Ugh, I mean..." He was stuck on words. This was an awkward position for him. He had never really been complimented on his looks before, and he didn't want to seem boastful and rude if he didn't compliment back. Makoto just sighed and lowered himself int he spring so anything below his nose was hidden by the hot water.

Rae looked at Makoto, Giggling still, She pressed her muzzle into the side of his neck. "Relax!" She laughed again, "Thank you Makoto, But my eyes are just brown, They're not nearly as interesting as yours." She said, still amused at how nervous he was. This was a bit fun to her. She wagged her tail lightly under the water, the steam rising up from the surface and surrounding her face. The hotspring was almost dangerous, cause it masked most of the scents around the area. "Anyways, you never asked my question before, Where are you from?" She quizzed, looking once more at his markings.

Aki's ears pricked as Makoto moved the Iga Nin-ken into the hot-spring. As eager as he was to slip into the hot waters he refuesed. He was too jumpy about the voices from eariler to stay calm about something like this. He watched the three dogs slip into the water as he turned to Blue. "I'm going to take a walk." He said to the Husky, struggling to stand up.
The Akita soon reached a small wooden area with a post sticking from the ground. He set his back to it as he closed his eyes, drifting somewhat off into sleep. His training had been delayed, but he knew a bit about fighting atleast. Enough to protect me? He thought to himself, opening his eyes again.

Amaya sniffed the ground. She was on the trail of something, but she couldn't exactly describe what it was yet. It had a very strange smell, unfimiliar too.
She looked up to see many other dogs talking.
She walked up to Makoto. "Hey! What's going on? ^^". She had been asleap the whole day.
[glow=red,2,300]A brown wolf had finaly reached a strange unfamiliar place. She had slept all day too. She was following her leader's scent. She saw him with a fimiliar black and white dog. Confused, she ran up to him, panting from her run. "Who's she? What's happening?" she asked, confused.[/glow]

He looked at the dog in the tree and his platoon leader behind him. Things were starting to crowd up. He was worried they might be heard in this group size. "Well I suppose now would be a good time, personally I could care less if that pup died right now. I am curious though, who are you and how do i know you? Hello dusky, This is Rin, my advisor, and we are talking about kidnapping Aki. I think we should split into two groups though, our size might give us away." He turned away from all of them, he hated being near the enemy and not being able to have a fight with someone. he lowered his whole body and made himself as flat as possible to be as hard to see or hear ass possible. He was bored..and boredom made him tired, he got moody when he got tired, and when he got moody he got a short fuse.

Tokimune gelt as Aki, had dragged him into the hot springs. The air was humid. The next thing he knew, Makoto had picked him up and started lowering him into the hot water. It burned his wound slightly. He winced, but didnt let anyone notice. After a little while, the water became relaxing. He noticed the others enter the water. The water seemed to take effect pretty quickly. The wound seemed to be healing already.

"Err- Ashi-sama...You don't recognize me? I'm Haru! Your best spy! I haven't been by the Alps that much, but Rin and I joined at the same time, don't you remember? Not too long ago...!"
Haru didn't know what else to say. She was surprised that her Leader didn't remember her, as well as slightly embaressed. If your leader doesn't remember you, that means you haven't done much to deserve being singled out and memorized. She dipped her head in shame, but glanced at him. "As for the capture, I'll be glad to take part if you want me to. Or, you might have a different assignment for me, Ashi-sama..."
Makoto winced as Rae touched him. "Err...I was born in Ohu, but when my mother died, I travelled and lived around this area, Utsunmiya." he looked around. "But I've never been to the hot springs before," he murmured, bewildered. "You said around here was your territory, didn't you? You didn't happen to meet a pack of dogs that lived around here, did you?" he asked, suddenly remembering the reason they came here.
