Lenore leaned up against the wall of the room. "It was from the prophecy." She paused. "Who is Ebisu?" She asked.

Yuki had a sudden urge to mock his sensai, but shook it off quickly. "He's the owner of this house. He's my sensai. He's the one that got me interested in becoming ANBU and pushed me to do all of this..."
Yuki looked around. "This is what you were talking about? This was where we came up from underground?"

Lenore waved the thought away. "No, it was elsewhere. From a tunnell up on the mountain. This place couldn't hold the numbers I saw. Good news for us, I don't kow about Kliri though..." She took another look at the Sake. Mistaking it for something familiar to her, she asked. "How old?"

Yuki smiled. "Sorry, only a couple years and poured out two very small, amost shot glasses of the clear liquid.
"I think I know where you mean. There's an old..." He didn't know quite how to discribe it... "Hide away... Safe place... Well.. It's an underground place the viligers would have in case of attack. Almost never used. Hasn't been used since..." Yuki was shaking his head and racking his brain trying to remember, but couldn't quite. He gave up. "To distractions," he said raising his glass...

Lenore completely ignored the toast. "Twenty years ago." she said sharply. she held the sake in one hand, staring intently at Yuki. "How many other people know about this place?"

Yuki thought for a moment. "Well... The kage of course, and the upper eschalon." He tried to think. "I think some of the students were taken down there about two years ago... But I doubt many of them remember, they were only young, and most of the villigers would have no idea. But definately all the academy teachers..."

Lenore cursed. She looked off into the distance of the near wall, retreating back into her mind. She seemed to be running through possible solutions to some kind of problem, the way her eyes darted back and forth slightly, almost searchingly.

Yuki allowed her a few moments, still just holding the drink. "Something's down there... Something people aren't supposed to know about... Something you don't want people to know about..." He figured he had allowed her enough time to think of a way to skirt answering him if that was her intention, but it wasn't like he couldn't easily find out for himself...

Lenore turned her attention abruptly back to Yuki. "Do you know how to get in there?" Lenore asked.

Yuki shrugged. "You mean my way or the conventional way?" His body language answered yes to both of these options...

Lenore glowered in his general direction. "I suppose I'll have to be the one to break the news to her..." She switched back to actually seeing him. "Where exactly have pople gone, down there?"

Yuki tilted his head to the side slightly and set his drink down. "Hold on now... one for one. What's down there. What are we not supposed to know about?"

Lenore appraised Yuki in a new light. Apparently her confuse-with-another-question technique wasn't going to work any more. Pity, as it had proven most useful thus far with him. Kaliri didn't fall for it anymore either. These people were no fun. "It's not that they're not supposed to know." she defended. "It's just preferred that for now, it remained forgotten."

Yuki folded his arms across his chest. Deal was a deal. He would answer her last question. "I don't know where everyone has gone. I've only used the tunnel between the academy and the safety chamber in the mountains. I know there are other branching roads, but haven't had the chance or the inclination to figure them out. The students a couple years ago, I'm quite sure that they took the same path as me. The same with Otomeken and Akira the last time I had to fish them out of there... The upper eschalon, I'm sure they know mostly the entire lay out. The academy teachers, probably as much as me."
It was time for his next question; though he was sure he already knew the answer. "Who is "her?" who are you breaking the news to?"

Lenore Blinked. "Kaliri, of course. My turn. Who are the other Kanoka family members living in the village, and follow up question, Where are they?"
