Yuki looked back and forth between them for a second as if deciding whether or not to trust them. He nodded. "Tsunade never wanted you to kill me. It was doomed to be a failed mission from the start." Ice covering almost all of Yuki's body shattered off of him and fell to the ground. He pulled the two of them in closer to hug them. "I already knew what was going on, and so did they." Yuki nodded to the four ANBU members only visable now that they were on the other side. "Tsunade was watching too. She'll probably be here in a minute or so." Yuki sounded both relived, sad, and in love with both of them, knowing he had people he could litterally trust with his life...

Cirrus looked pissed. This was the second time Tsunade had messed with him, and each time made him more and more angry. He trembled in the hug, trying to keep himself calm.

Takara all but collapsed in relief, her legs going weak as she leaned against Yuki. She closed her eyes as she hugged him, "Oh thank goodness. I did not want to have to leave the leaf, but I was not going to let anyone hurt you!" she said, her relief evident.

Yuki noticed Cirrus' reaction and decided he had to talk to him. "Cirrus, Tsunade will probably tell you the same thing I would, but maybe you'll believe it if it comes from me. Running a village is a business for a Kage. They have to take missions. But that doesn't mean that they can't put event into motion that prevent that mission from being completed. Kassu won't be back to get his money back from her. And none of us get hurt. Though... I think she was partially testing your loyalty to the village versus to our... relationships as well... but that is neither here nor there...

"I don't give a damn what her intentions were. It was a dirty thing to do." Cirrus broke away. "It's things like that that shake my trust in the leaf, not strengthen it."

"I think that may mean we failed, but I don't care," Takara said, only hugging him tighter.

"If you hadn't failed, it would have serriously shaken my faith in my ANBU," Tsunade said walking up behind them and dismissing the ANBU soldiers. Tsunade was about to say more, probably something to Cirrus, but Yuki cut her off.
"Lil buddy, don't be so down on this place. When you had to leave the mist, it was the leaf that took you in. When I had to leave the Sand, it was the leaf that took me in. Believe me, if you think this is treachery, try living a day in the Sand. If you think a Kage hiring two genin to try and kill a person that she is protecting herself is bad, what would you think of an entire village turning on one family because of a Kage. It may not seem right, but it's a better choice than anywhere else I've seen. And if nothing else, it prepares you for the treachery outside of these walls..." Yuki wasn't sure exactly where the patriotism for the leaf was coming from, but he had been in a weird mood all day any ways...

Cirrus did not look convinced, and turned away to head off the mountain.

Takara gave the Kage a respectful bow, her face obviously relieved.

Yuki ran after Cirrus and caught up to him, grabbing him by the arm. "Thanks lil' buddy. I knew you wouldn't actually come after me...

"Your welcome, Yuki," Cirrus said, but his voice was distant.

Takara was looking after Cirrus, her worry evident on her face.

The ANBU and Tsunade left well enough alone. She knew Cirrus well enough to know that nothing she could say could make him see things her way. He had a good heart, and was unfit for the logic of a business Kage like herself....
"You know," Yuki said as much to Cirrus as Takara, a similar distant tone to Cirrus'. "I've been thinking too... There are doorways I haven't opened, and windows I have yet to look through. Perhaps going forward isn't the answer... Maybe I have to go back..."

"Go back where?" Cirrus asked abruptly.

Takara turned back to Yuki, "Are we going to the Sand?" she asked curiously.
