In the village of Konoha, deep with in the streets in a house the sounds of the rain pounding down out side could be heard as the sudden bong from a grand farther clock could be heard. Everything seemed to be peaceful. As the clock striked again it was at that moment deep with in the forest someone was running. Each steped splashed in the wet ground as it looked like he was running on water. No it was slowly flooding in the forest. The person was running with his head down as the rain pelted down on him. Lighting strike as his pale blue eyes light up in the darkness. The water was slowly getting deeper as he headed up a hill towards something in the distance. He was breathing heavily as he was trying his best to make it there before something happen.
As the clock striked again a single bird was flying in this storm while all the rest were taking shelter. It landed by a window as it started to peck at it.

Artemis was out in this weather, goodness knew why. "Drat what was I thinking coming out for a walk when the sky was so low..." She murmured, her hair clinging to her face as she walked around. She was starting to find her way around Konoha better, and was on her way home to get out of the rain when she mixed up a landmark with another and ended up steering herself closer to the forest.

Seeing no one inside the bird took flight again as it looked around drasticly. It was then it saw someone out in this storm. It swoop down as it circle around Artemis head. Around and around it went tring to be heard over the thunder.

Artemis didn't see it but she could see it as she tilted her head up and noticed it darting in the air around her head. "Huh, what the...What in the world...?" She murmured, putting a hand above her eyes to shield them from the rain. Looking at the bird curiously and forgetting her search for home for the moment.

It contuined to chirp loudly as it circled around her some more and took off towards the forest again.

Artemis tilted her head at it, "Hmmmmm... You know most people would say it's the weather then go on with what they were doing. But I can't do that till I find a landmark or something to steer me back towards home... So you can't steer me any further off course." She commented to herself, before shrugging and taking off after it. Hoping perhaps to find something familiar on the way.

Artemis was starting to get curious, this bird seemed to have a real purpose ot it's flight pattern. Or it was just a crazy bird that totally lost it in the storm. But either way, it was taking her mind off the rain a little and her small predicament.

The bird almost seemed to vanish all of a sudden as there was nothing but darkness and rain. The feeling of being utterly lost was powerful all of a sudden. It was when the lighting striked across the sky right in front of Artemis. A few feet away a pair of yellow eyes watched her carefuly. As the light faded the out line of a large cat faded as well but the eyes remained.

"Huh...? Where did that bird get to now..." She murmured uncertainly, unsure of where to turn... The dark and the rain not helping her figure out where she was or which way to go at all. "Oh no..." She said, starting to sound nervous as her eyes narrowed. Trying to figure out which way to turn, this felt worse than it usually did when she was lost. As if her growing dread was anticipating something to happen at any second...

There was a growl as the large cat jumped from the shadows and on to a rock above. It looked down at Artemis but not a threating manner. Normal this animal would be taking shelter as well but it seemed to be waiting for someone. Around the front paw was a riped red fabric which was holding some kind of medicen against it and a flower.

Artemis slipped on the slick ground and fell to her bottom as she looked up at this large cat. Staring at it in surprise, nervously letting out a gasp of surprise. Her eyes fell on it's paw and she blinked, her curiosity beating some of her fear. "Huh, what's that on your paw..." She murmured more to herself.

The cat growled again as it gestered with its head to follow it. Following the large cat would be easier than the bird. It almost seemed like someone sent for help and ways to lead them easily to some where.

She blinked, "Did you... Did you... Do you..." She stuttered as she started feeling this all was very strange. "Do you want me to follow you...?" She murmured as she got up, mud clinging to her now from the fall. "If you promise not to eat me then I'll follow, but I will say this is all very very strange." She said to it, timidly taking one step forward, then another as she followed it a little more confidently.

The cat growled once more as it took up the hill. It jumped from side to side as it reached the peek of the first hill quickly as it waited for Artemis. As she drew closer it started up the hill some more till they would reach the spot.
