The young girl Umeko ran around the village, trying to find her Senpai. Where had she gone too, it was unlike her to just disappear without tell the girl. For the life of her she couldn't think of anything that would have taken her away. She usually did her missions while Umeko was sleeping in, or at least let her know if she was going to be away for a while.

The inner Umeko was chuckling away to herself, knowing exactly where Yuri had gone, but remained quiet for now. The young girl was so caught up, she forgot about Yuri mentioning she was going to investigate this strange you village, and that Umeko should stay home and be safe. After a while, the inner Ume started to get bored, and finally let the young girl in. "Oi, she went to the mystery village, remember the one she said you can't go too." She chuckled, and waited.

Umeko started to flail in the middle of the street, the village starting to get used to the crazy girl by now. "Oh no! How did I forget about that?" She ran off, trying to find out where this strange place was, so she could follow Yuri-chan there. They were a team now, and need to work together! She had to be there to ensure Yuri-chan was safe!

Miroku had been eating some fried vegetables at a grill not too far away from a peculiar sight, a girl was looking around the village intently, as if she were looking for someone. That wasn't at all uncommon in a large village like Tsukigakure- Miroku had been here a few days already and watched people curiously. Either they were looking for someone or something... but there was something about this girl, the way she was looking around was as if she was doing something important.

He continued to watch from a short distance to see if the lost girl managed to find what she was looking for, but when the girl suddenly started flailing in the middle of the street; Miroku's compassionate and helpful nature could rest idly by no longer. He popped the rest of the food in his mouth and chewed on the wooden skewer that had held his vegetables on it. He approach the girl and called out to her from a short safe distance. His first reaction was to place a strong but reassuring hand on her, but the females in this villagage seemed to be very independent and he feared he would either offend her or get himself hurt if he touched her before notifying her of his intent. Excus me! Miss! You look lost, I am a stranger in this village myself... but possibly I can be of assistance? I am from Heiwagakure as an ambassador, if necessary, my influence on the village might help you find what you are seeking?

Hearing herself addressed, Umeko turned to see the man, and calmed down slightly. "Oh hello sir. I'm just looking for my Sensei, she's usually around be now." She let out a soft sigh, then perked up when she heard where he was from. "Wait, you're from Heiwagakure? Isn't that the village that popped up out of nowhere? I think my Yuri-Senpai went on the mission there! I have to find her! Do you know how to get there?" The young girl looked up at the man hopefully.

Did he know how to get there? He nearly scoffed at the question... it was his village after all. He had traversed the shinobi world and knew the land well enough to guide anyone to his village. A lot of shinobi have offered their help to my village, I can lead you there to your sensei if you would like. But would you help my people as well? We need as much assistance we can get.

The young girl nodded excitedly to the man. "Sure Ume-chan will come help if you show the way! Will we pass the Sakura village on the way? The young girl asked with great expectation.

We will definitely pass Kusamuragakure on the way- if there is someone you need to talk to, we can stop there. Otherwise, we'll be heading straight for Hiewagakure. He motioned for the girl to follow him to the gate and then he instructed her to gather whatever she would need for the trip there.

She grinned with glee, and followed the man, muttering about seeing the Sakura trees.
