"Ah, forget him!" Em said as he bounded forward.<br/><br/>Damui followed him, carrying Kaede all the way as he said, "They can handle themselves, eh? Right! Getting you back to dry land."<br/><br/>They dashed across the waters until hitting the docks, where Damui jumped up and landed on the ground, where he let Kaede down on her feet with a wide grin.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Ah, I think we're all just here as insurance." Kohaku said, putting his hands up to his head, "A third party, huh? ...But who? The Otomi wouldn't dare. One of the other villages? Iwa... or Konoha. Can't imagine Suna coming all the way here."<br/><br/>"If it was Iwa, they'd have to cross several countries just to get here, and the Land of Hot Springs are Kumo's vassals, no?" He scratched his cheek, "That leaves Konoha... thought they had their own problems they were dealing with." The swordsman shrugged and left his gaze drift, he narrowed his eyes and pointed out the trio running from the ocean onto the island, "Hey... See that over there?"<br/><br/>"Three of 'em..." He stood up and put his hand on the hilt of his living sword, "Uhhh.. They're just standing around at the docks now."<br/><br/>Kohaku looked at Kakumei, "Maybe we should see what they want, huh?" He said with a smile.
