Search for Luna and Heizu (Zrntsu, Ember, and X)

After hiking from Konoha, Ryouta, Kurai, and Ember were finally at the outskirts of Takigakure. "You sure this is the place, Kurai?" he said.

Ember let out a silent breath looking up at the gates of Takigakure. As the breath escaped her lips it turned into frost. She looked over the boys, actually feeling apart of something. Apart of a team, of a mission.

"Of course im sure Ryouta Can't you smell it?. Then stench of a puppet master" Smirking at his friend, "Ember how are you doing? Your demon ok?" He ask concerned When he see's her breath.

"Hmm? Oh its fine. Its just a bit cold here." She murmered softly.

Zentsu Slipped off his jacket to wrap it around Ember. Then stepped forward to scout the area. "We're about three hundred feet away ryo, Are you ready?"

Ryouta took a deep breath. The stench of the man responsible for his mother's death flooding his nostrils. "Let's do this." he said as the continued on.

Leading the way Zentsu stops at the entrance of a cave. "Its in here about 30 feet underground. We'll have to find a way down. i was hoping your pretty little puppet could do that?" Smiling Zentsu stepped into the cave lighting his hand on fire to provide light.

"Nah, I was just thinking you could use your fire to weaken the rock and then use your head as a battering ram to get through." he said with a grin. Then, he stepped back and yelled "Kugutsu no Jutsu!" Suddenly, Hakai no Kurōku was next to him. With the flick of his wrist and the waving of his fingers, Ryouta set to work on the rock, slashing at it with his puppet's scythe. "Just think, Kurai. You almost had that come down on your neck in Hoshigakure. That wouldn't have been pretty, would it?" he said with a raised eyebrow.

Rolling His eyes Zentsu blow fire balls in the air to both warm the place up and provide light. "Yeah almost as pretty as when i would have set your scrawny ass on fire." Smirking he watched reluctantly impressed by the puppet.

Ember remained silent, observing everything. She planned not to kill anyone on this trip, since she had killed enough in her life. The only reason for her to cause blood shed is if it was an anbush, attack, or if her friends were in danger of any sort. She scooted closer to the boys, trying to catch the heat of the flame, the heat of their bodies. She wasnt used to cold weather. She held the jacket Zentsu gave her tightly around her shoulders. Her eyes quickly jittered at the surroundings, examining the place.

Zentsu noticing Ember Smiled "Come here. im always hot" Sliding one arm around her waist warming his arm and side up with his fire chakra keeping her warm. "Waiting on your slow-ass puppet Ryo" Zentsu grinned letting out a fake yawn

"Shut up Kurai. Why don't you try to cut through 30 feet of solid rock and see how you like it?" he said, agitated. After 10 minutes, Ryouta sealed the puppet. "We're here." he said with a satisfied grin.

Again Ember was quiet, but a slight playful smile tugged on the corner of her lips. It amused her how these boys acted.

"Watch out, theres gotta be some booby traps. Sasori-Sama was too smart not to leave any" Zentsu jumpped down into the newly dug hole spinning mid-air in a Fire style rotation to make sure nothing could hurt him. "Its safe come on" He yelled up at his team

"Dude, Kurai, this is a battle scene now. The whole part of it being a hide out was ruined when Sakura Haruno kicked the iron sand block at the roof and broke it. The only reason we had to dig was because stuff started to crumble and the entrance was blocked. There's no booby traps." he said as he walked into the former hide out of the man responsible for it all.

Ember giggled and rolled her eyes walking in front of the boys knowing she wasnt gonna get hurt anytime soon.

Zentsu pouted "Doesn't mean i shouldn't be safe Stupid puppet masters think theyre speical" Grumbling the last part under his breath Zentsu walks behind Ember. "Go collect what you need Ryo this place gives me the creeps"

Ember skipped through the tunnel, seemingly fearless. In the palm of her hand a white flame burned, lighting everything up.

Watching Ember move so gracefully brought a smile to Zentsu's lips following in her footsteps hovering protectivly behind her "Come on Slow-ass puppet master" He yells at ryo smirking

Stepping over broken puppet pieces, Ryouta walks over to the opposite end of the hide out. Finally, he is eye to eye with the man he has hated for years. The only thing keeping Royuta from attacking him is the seal of Chiyo that secures him to the wall. "If only you could see me take your precious puppet scroll..." he says as he cuts the puppet body off of the wall. "There..." He grabs the last scroll mounted on his back and opens it. "Kugutsu no Jutsu!" Suddenly, the rest of Sasori's puppet collection appears in the cave. "There she is..." He says as he stares at the puppet body of his lover.

Ember remains silent yet again, staring upon the puppet of Luna. "Shes quite pretty." She added randomly, to break the silence before it stole the conversation.

Walking over to Ryo Zentsu place a hand on his shoulder "Come on we got what we need lets go" Looking up at the puppet of his former team mates Zentsu sighs whispering "Im so sorry"

Ryouta pulls out a sealing scroll and seals the puppet of Luna inside. "Now, let's find Heizu."

Looking around the old hide-out Zentsu sniffs "Shit" He hisses
