Tierra looked up out of the corner of her eye.

"Nice try Arekku. And don't you dare try to hit me with that bow." She stated, not even truning to look at him.

*Snaps his fingers*

"Well I thought I would be able to get you for once." Arekku says as he jumps from tree to tree getting closer.

One last push leaves him crouched looking at Tierra. "Did you three kids lose your dog," he remarks followed by a deep chuckle.

"Ha! You didn't think these lame traps would actually work, did you?" asked the rogue ninja as he dodged the traps Shin had set, "Please! This is just sad!" he said, dodging the last one.

"If you say so." Shin said, standing behind the rogue. The rogue seemed surprised, and attempted a spinning kick, too bad it simply went through the clone, "Up here!" said Shin, in a flying kick to the rogue's face, which connected, but he wasn't down yet.

"That all you got? Cheap clones and taijutsu moves? Not very creative..." he said, but was suddenly subdued from behind by Igaki and Riku.

"I don't need to be creative." said Shin, "Don't you know that all ninjas work in teams? If you didn't see that coming, then maybe you aren't much of a ninja after all?" said Shin while Igaki and Riku tied him up, "Nice timing, guys."

"Hm. The way you talk, I'd think you planned it this way." said Riku, hoisting the captured ninja onto his shoulders.

"Either way. Mission complete. Let's get home." said Igaki, all business as usual. The team nodded to each other then began the journey home.

Tierra raised her eyebrow at Arekku.

"No, we didnt exactly lose you. beside's i'm only four years younger. that doesn't make me a child compared to you." she stated.

Arekku glances at Kyrorain and Runna before he turns to look around the training field.
This is a bit wierd... Where could they have gone? A whole village doesn't just disappear.

Tierra sighed, looking up into the sky.

"I don't know where they went either." She said, as if reading Arekku's thoughts. She turned to look at him. "It's written on your face." She explained.
