Oki gave a quick nod and was gone, racing down the street in her bare feet after the once he bolted through the door.

"He's not in the village... or rather..... wasn't." Came a voice from the room as Oki left the room but she'd hear the voice as she left. Yuki aswell would hear it. A dark figure sitting on the counter in the room.

Yuki paused in mid-stride and turned to look at who might be there, he was thankful for the advice, about wearry of another person having broken into Cirrus' house as well... "What do you know?" he asked, hoping for some more clarification than what he already knew...

It took Oki a moment to place the voice and her heart soared into her throat. She skidded to a halt, calling Kovu back to her and ran back to the house, this time outpacing the cub. She wanted to run past the door, throw herself into Baoh's arms. She almost had herself convinced that it had all been some horrible nightmare, but by the time she reached the door she had lost her nerve. He wouldn't want to see her. She hesitated, long enough for Kovu to catch up and precede back into Cirrus's house.

Baoh seemed..... darker then usual as he sat on the counter. One foot on it's surface well the otehr dangled. His arm over his knee and hte light of the moon glistening off his one visable eye. It looked to the door but didn't move before looking back at Yuki. "Come now Yuki. I thought you were better then that." He told him. "Home is where the heart is afterall" Baoh said looking past Yuki and outside. "He's already here."

Cirrus was brought out of Blink's jutsu and looked around. He frowned slightly. This area was all too familiar, was a timepiece really around here? It was his job to look for clues. Luckily he had a fairly good idea of hiding places in the village so he could go around unnoticed, and even if he was it's not like he wasn't supposed to be there. He looked back at Blink and Rei and gave a nod. "I'll see you at dusk tomorrow," he said, and slinked towards the village.
Cirrus crept into the village, looking around, a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach. He had been terrified when Dial showed him what was on the map. He didn't want to bring any of this closer to home, scared of what would happen to those close to him. he didn't even know the extent of the power the convicts held, but knew what Nitro could at least do when angered. He wasn't sure what time he had returned in. Dial claimed that it was close to the time where they had started from, but Cirrus didn't expect Akira back yet if that was the case. He headed in the shadows and narrowed his eyes when he saw something large on the roof of his house. He readied his two short katana, his hands ready to draw them as he crept closer to first stake out the scene.

Yuki was pretty sure that Baoh wouldn't mislead him about this at least, if anyone, he already knew what was going on, as most likely a significant part of the village did... "Good, then it won't take long to find him... Thanks," Yuki said and started out. "I'd still appreciate your help," Yuki said, standing beside Oki, but the rest of that sentence that he didn't say was, 'but I'll understand if you need to talk to him...'
Yuki waited for her decision. If she'd continue to help, he gladly use the cat's nose to his advantage, if she wasn't, he'd go back to the air and swoop Cirrus straight off the street when he found him...

Oki tried to meet Baoh's eye, pleading with hers for him to understand... please understand. When he turned away from her, she looked down at the floor. Kovu, sensing her distress, rubbing reassuring against her leg.
"Tsunade wants Cirrus," Oki said simply. "Take the phoenix. Kovu and I will look on the street level." Her voice was hollow, and she kept her eyes down as she spoke.

The Moment Yuki turned to leaned he'd run face first into the wall that hadn't been there a moment before. "Do you not listen at all." Baoh said not looking at Oki at all.

Cirrus felt a prickling on the back of his neck. He slunk further into the shadows. He had to work fast and find clues for the timepiece. He quickly darted down an alleyway.

"As much as I'd love to find the time for your oh-so-clever games, Baoh... I don't have time right now. There more important matters than whatever vandetta you have against me. If you want to do something to me, then do it at a time when others are not affected..." While he was speaking though, Yuki got the message loud and clear... He didn't find Cirrus, but the Pheonix on the roof of Cirrus' house didn't miss him... "Nice wall... He's this way..." Yuki said with some urgancy in his voice...
Oki had a choice to make... Yuki reached for her hand to be able to take her and Kovu through Baoh's wall, or she could stay behind while Yuki ran Cirrus down by himself, either way, the window of option wouldn't be there for long, and Yuki would shift without her...
On the roof of Cirrus' house, the Pheonix slowly shifted its massive head, watching Cirrus as he ran...

Subtly, Oki drew away from Yuki as he reached out for her hand. When Baoh spoke this time her head came up.
"What do you mean?" she asked quietly.
"I don't see nobody," Kovu muttered.

"His ego really is that big isn't it." Baoh said getting up off the counter and turning away from Oki. "Go home Oki... your not a part of this." He told her and walked towards the window.

Cirrus jumped over a few fences and began feeling for any trace or clue left behind by the time piece. He didn't know what was happening at his house but it made him feel wary and he wanted to get out of there. He'd have to be fast. Sending out his chakra to search a bit made him wary since he couldn't shake the feeling he was being watched.

Cirrus' feeling was not unwarrented, as the pheonix did follow his every movement...
Yuki didn't wait, when Oki retracted her hand, he was gone.
"Cirrus!" He yelled after the blue-haired flash running away from him...
When Yuki left the building, so did the Pheonix, and once again took to the air, flying directly overhead of Cirrus...
