Kaeda looked surprised, as well she should, who was Kaji to put paperwork before sake? "Well if you'd rather deal with Tsunade first fine by me, it's your funeral not mine," the ANBU interrigator said indifferantly blowing a bit of breath to clear a falling strand of hair away from her face.
"If that's the way you want it then let's go to Hokage-sama's office, if you still know where it is that is." Kaeda teased, not waiting for his answer. She jumped up and followed the rooftops that lead to the Hokage's office. She didn't bother to look behind and see if Kaji was still following, besides it wasn't hard to figure out where Hokage-sama's office was anyway.

Daidoji Taro walked through the trees, wary from his travel back from Otogakure (Sound Village). He stopped for a second under a nearby tree, and heaved a big sigh. This was a very hard thing to recover from. This mission, a mission he had accepted so enthusiastically, was now a terrible nightmare, more terrifying than anything else that he was afraid of. This mission, which was a failure, was years ago.
He let out another sigh as he pulled out his water bottle. He looked at how beaten up it was, how ragged and dirty it appeared, and smiled sadly. His best friend, who was on his team during the mission, gave it to him as a present. When Taro had asked his friend what the present was for, all the jounin said was, "Just a token to a great friend."
As Taro took a swig of the fresh, cold water, he thought about this friend. They went through the chunnin exam together, as well as the jounin selection test, and they always covered each other's backs. As he put it away, he remembered his friends last words to him, "Look out, Taro!" After his friend had said that, he was cut down with a katana. Taro, at the time, believed that he should have died with his team, but now, he felt that his survival through the years of torture and grief was all luck from his friend.
He wiped at his soft, brown eyes, irritated by the sunlight, and pulled his fingers through his spiky, silver hair. He then looked around at his surroundings, hoping to find out how far away he was from Konoha, his beloved village. He wasn't in a clearing, and he had a slight fear of climbing trees. So, in other words,
"I'm lost," Taro mumbled, standing up once again. "My sense of direction used to be razor-sharp, and now I'm as lost as a blind dog."
He continued walking in the direction that he was facing before taking a rest. As he continued, his left upper-arm started throbbing with pain. He merely winced, and he pulled his cloak aside to observe what was making it hurt. As he pulled back the cloak, he glanced at his bloody ANBU outfit for only a second before turning his attention to his scar. The scar was slightly jagged and had cut through his ANBU tattoo, a true sign that he used to be a part of Konoha. His headband was all but destroyed, on the floor in the room that he was tortured in, all the way back in Sound Country.
Once he pulled the cloak back over his shoulder, he noticed something taller than the trees: the walls of Konoha. He sighed with relief as he walked faster. He finally reached the bridge and saw two chunnin standing on the wall on either side of the gate.
"Hello up there!" Taro waved up to the chunnin, catching their attention. "I would like to enter Konoha, please."
"Do you have traveling papers?" the chunnin on the left asked.
"Uh... well, no."
"Then you cannot enter." the chunnin on the right responded.
"What if I showed you my ANBU tattoo?"
"...Wait, what?" Both chunnin jumped down, confused looks on their faces.
Taro pulled his cloak back, exposing part of his bloody ANBU outfit and his ANBU tattoo, along with the scar that crossed it. He heard the two chunnin gasp in surprise.
Taro smiled as he asked, "Can I go in now?"
"S-sure!" both chunnin said at the same time, jumping back up to their posts. In a matter of seconds, the gate to Konoha was opened.
Taro inhaled and exhaled the fresh Konoha air as he walked into the village, smiled and said, "It's great to be home!"

(Minor Godmodding, but here we are. Think two and half days after our epic mission to Stone, Totora still messed up, but Kazuma and the rest tired but recovered.)
Anko brought herself to a tired halt, as she landed on the trail just outside the great Konoha Gate. Kage, what a week... Now she had to report to Tsunade, thnakful that the strange child Nin had talked so much. Without her, the mission would have been a total failure.
She watched Minako and Kazuma land behind her, the latter's stomach still bearing the Five Point Seal until Anko had a good chance to talk to Kakashi. Aliania, her tag along, should be along shortly, carrying the heavyily wounded Totora. His arms and legs had been broken so many times it was... Ugh. Not to mention whatever was still bolcking him from tapping chakra.

Aliana had tried her best not to have Totora moved about too much, due to his injuries and what discomfort it would cause him, but in her hurry was unable to avoid such at certain situations. A sigh of relief escaped her at the sight of Konoha gates awaiting... finally. As she was finally able to slow down, for her sake and Totora's, she realized how tired she was. But no, first she had to get Totora to a hospital. And then she had to talk to Kaji... Or wait? Was it Tsunade? Was it both?
Rubbing her head with one free arm, the Jounin hazily remembered one of the Stone assassin's saying something about capturing Kaji, as well as her disobediance. But first came the reason she had follow Anko and her temporary students to the Stone anyways... She had to make sure Totora was safe, in a comfortable bed, with all of his wounds healed before she even thought about her own luxury. That was non-negotiable. Nodding to Anko, fatigue too great to put effort into actual thanks, she hoped the thanks in her eyes gave enough away for the Jounin to understand and headed for the nearest hospital.
Aliana was considering taking one of the energy pills that she had concealed in one of her pouches and dug for one, whilst shifting Totora's weight ever so slightly in her arms. 'I pray they have a skilled medic nin in that hospital.'
OOC: And onto the Konoha hospital!

Kazuma stopped right behind his sensei. His body feeling weak at the moment due to some seal ANko put on him in order to keep Ryuho down. Hell his other side even had a hard time speaking due to the seal so Kazuma had no idea of what happen after he woke up.
A look of regret was on the chuunin's face for allowing the demon to take control. However for all the rest of them knew, and what he was going to tell them, Ryuho forcefully control. His yellow eyes gave a small glance toward Anko wondering whether or not she was going to take this stupid seal off him, and if she was going to tell Kakashi that he lost it.
HIs eyes then looked toward the other Jonin who was holding Totora. The young demon remembering going into a blind rage when he saw him in the state he was in. Kazuma narrowing his eyes, still filled with regret, he wasn't all that much help in the mission and he hated it. First his anger took control then Ryuho, and now for some odd reason his throat was dry as hell and Ryuho was unable to explain to him why. Damn it all.
"Why did we stop?" Kazuma asked his temporary sensei. His voice sounding dry.

Minako caught up to her team at the gate, and she stopped with them, looking at the large gates that loomed in front of them, the kanji for Fire was printed on the entrance. Minako sighed and took in a deep breath. "Ah it's good to be home!" Minako said relieved.
She was happy to see her home again even though her body was worn out from the battle, though they had had their time for rest, using technique neutralize while already tired had made resting only restore so little of her energy.
Facing Anko she asked, "Now what?" Hoping that the answer would be 'go home and sleep for a century.'

(Whee... Team Anko has returned.)
The female Juunin watched Aliana run off with Totora on her back, a conflicted frown on her face. Hmmph, thank goodness for evil ninja who didn't know when to shut up. Gave them enough info to get a clear idea of how this 'Stone Assasin Squad' seemed to work. Much as the info was less than helpful, it was still information...
She looked back to her students, indicating Minako first, "You did a good job. Despite the strange nature of the fight, held your own AND rescued the hostage. Go home, rest, heck, if you were old enough I'd buy you a bottle of sake myself. I'll come get you when it's time for more training or whatever." She tilted her head to one side, smiling.
"As for you," she continued flatly, shifting a much sterner gaze to Kazuma, "I don't know exactly what relationship you have with your 'demon', so I'm holding judgement until we reach Kakashi and get some questions answered. The seal will be released no earlier than then."
"Kazuma, you're with me. Clear you up before I face down the Hokage. With my report... Urgh."

Kazuma looked away as Anko began complimenting Minako knowing for a fact that she was going to say some bad thing about his performance about what happen. Although he couldn't really help it. Anger just took control. It blinded him and his senses. Then in desperation he depended on Ryuho. He knew it wasn't smart but... Ryuho was part of who he was what could he do about it?
A bit of an agitated look came a cross his face as he heard the tone of voice Anko was using. His weak eyes looking at his temporary sensei as she spoke. His eyes widening when she said that they were going to speak with Kakashi about it. A look of embarrassment, depression entering his eyes. He really didn't want to speak to Kakashi about how he lost control again.
"Fine," Kazuma replied with a small scowl. The young demon looked away from her and down to the ground. Annoyed by the fact that she wasn't going to take off the damn seal until they spoke to him. Kazuma raising his hand and biting the side of his finger to a point where it was bleeding.
The smell of blood filling his nose. God he wanted it and more. The seal may have blocked his demon chakra but not his demon urges. Kazuma taking his hand from his mouth so he wouldn't suck his own blood. "So we're leaving now right?" he asked wanting to hurry up and get it over with.

"Yes, we are. Try and keep up," added Anko before springing towards the rooftops with a faint flap of her jacket, gone without another word. Might as well get this taken care of now... Oy, and she had thought Naruto was bad.
(To Kakashi's house! Wherever that is!)

Minako smiled gratefully at Anko's statements. "Thank you Anko sensei," She said relieved that she could finally go home and sleep. She didn't stick around to hear Anko's discussion with Kazuma, she didn't know what they were talking about and she knew it was none of her business.
All Minako wanted was sleep, and she knew she'd better hurry home. With all her heart she hoped she could make it home before her siblings noticed. Even though she loved them to death, she wasn't in the mood to answer the questions they'd hound her with about the mission.

'If you want me to keep up then take this damn thing off me!' Yoh yelled in his mind when he heard Anko's words. His yellow eyes watching as Minako took off before Anko said anything to him. Not surprised she didn't seem like the type to get into other's bueiness.
A sigh escaping his mouth as he followed Anko. The young chuunin just barely able to keep up. After all his throat was dry as hell, and his body was tired he was surprised that he was at least able to keep her in site.

Ayame was walking into Konoha. She would spend most of her time in the forest outside Konoha and because she was new to the village she really didn't know anybody that well, so she was by herself most of the time. She saw people at the gate and stopped for a minute but then she started walking again slowly.

Minako stretched her arms and yawned. She had just taken the longest nap of her life, and was feeling much better after her tiring mission. However her arms and legs were still sore. She decided to go out for a walk to stretch her arms and legs, because sometimes using your muscles would make them feel better. She had barely begun her walk when she ran into someone. "Oh, sorry, I should watch where I'm going," She said embarrased for being so clumsy.

"No need to say sorry, it was just an accident." she said shyly "I don't mean to be nosy but where are you going?" she asked without thinking "Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that."

Minako waved her hand passivly, "Don't worry, I don't mind...I'm just taking a walk, I've been sore from my latest mission." She rubbed her sore shoulder, wishing the aches would stop soon. She looked back at the girl, and at her cream whitish eyes, She must be a Hyuuga... Minako concluded. Reaching out her hand in welcome Minako smiled, "My name is Minako Terto by the way. She said warmly.
