"I'm pretty sure if you wanted to chase something, Kurado could make the frizbee go far enough," Oki smiled at Fukurou. "But normally we just just."
She gaped as Kurado took off. "Hey that's not fair!"
She started off after him, quickly bringing herself back up to top speed.

"Pay?" Fukurou said, standing there for a second, not understanding. "Pay for what?" he said as if they were both still standing there with him. The two owls looked up at him from the ground - Ruu with the frizbee in his beak - and shrugged.
"I don't have any money," Fukurou said as if he were peiecing it all together. "Oh crap," he whispered to himself, "I don't have any money, I can't pay!" He took off as fast as he could, going all out and trying to catch up...

"As fast as fast can be you'll never catch me Ha ha!" He said almost in a sing song tone. For a wind user he wasn't as fast as you would expect but he was certainly no turtle either. He was more aware now and was avoiding branches and rocks as if he knew they were there before hand.

Kurado had too much of a head start and Oki knew she had no chance against him on the ground. With a grunt, she flipped herself up into a tree and took the high road, slowly gaining. Up here, she didn't have nearly as many obstacles as Kurado did on the ground and her powerful legs made the jumps easy, almost effortless, and thrilling. She had no idea where they were going any more, but she wasn't going to be the last one there!

Like Oki, while Fukurou knew the area, he had no idea where they were going, and couldn't very well take the lead.... He set his sights on at least tying with Oki, and decided to take her route as well, and jumped into the tree branches to run as well - though he was still a good ways behind her, and not actually gaining no matter how hard he tried...

Kurado contuine their run up the hill as he knew where Oki and him agreed they were going to the day before. It was still alittle ways off but at the rate they were all going it wouldn;t be long till they reached the top. Kurado looked back to see no one was driectly behind him which meant two things. Either they are in the trees trying to catch up or maybe they passed him. He picked up his pase to as fast as he could with out any help of jutsu's just yet.

Oki loved to compete. It was part of the reason she had asked Kurado to come with her this morning because it added an extra edge to the work out. Kurado was fast, and he was crafty, which meant Oki had to challenge herself to be the same. She was aware of Fukurou behind her, which only added to the fun. Not only was she doing the chasing, but she was also now being chased herself!
She could only catch glimpses of Kurado here and there through the trees as he sped up, and Oki decided that she would try a new tactic. Perhaps she could fool both of them...
Pushing herself harder, Oki began to weave a spurratic path through the branches, sometimes almost doubling back completely as she moved left and right, but almost always forward in some direction. She looked for places where the branches would be thickest, for places that would show her position and continue to move while she sped on elsewhere. If nothing else, it was working her legs, and she could feel the burn already in her calves and thighs.
She was about to make an abrupt change in direction again when something white off to her left moved and caught her eye. She hesitated, and was just able to make out a soft snap and a loud roar or rage and pain that sent the birds skyward in an explosion of sound and feathers. Oki froze.

Fukurou seized his only chance of really catching up, and that was to not follow Oki on her wide zigs and zags, but to keep his excellent eyes on Kurado and continue on in a straight path, so when Oki froze, he almost pllowed straight through her. Fortuneately, he was fast enough of his feet to do a barrell flip over top of her. Unfortunately, he was not ballanced enough on his feet to land the flip. When he came down, he began to teeter and totter until he ultimately headed for the ground, ass-first...

Kurado twisted in mid stride as he riped the dirt under his feet as he came to a stop. He paused as if waiting for something to attack. He heard only his breath for a few moments as he tried to figure out was this for real or was someone pulling his leg and making him lose the race?

Oki jumped down to the ground, landing softly beside Fukurou, but she kept her head turned in the direction that the sound had come from. It wasn't a normal sound by any means; it made the hair on the back of her neck stand on end uncomfortably. It needed investigating, to make sure it wasn't a danger to the village if nothing else.
She held out a hand to Fukurou to help him up.
"Fukurou, I'm going to go see what that was. Stay here if you want, and let Kurado know where I've gone if he comes back this way, alright?"

"Forgive the disrespect, Ms. Oki," Fukruou said taking a second to rub his now sore tailbone, "but dispite your rank, I find it ill-advised to allow you to walk towards a possible danger solo... Fukurou reached inside his tunic and drew out a frizbee like it was a kunai...

Kurado walked forward then sighed as he couldn't take the chance incase something was happening. He slowly walked back looking around trying to figure out what was happening.

Oki sighed. She didn't like the idea of taking Fukurou with her. He meant well, and she knew it, but she was worried he would be more of a liability than an aid. That considered, however, she didn't want to leave him here alone in case whatever was out there was on the move. She bit her lower lip as the colour slowly began to drain from her face, making the purple bruise around her eye stand out more starkly.
"Put the Frizbee away then, Fukurou. I doubt whatever's out there wants to play fetch and I'd hate to see Ruu get too close to something that sounds like that."
She then turned and began to cautiously make her way through the brush in the direction of the noise.

Fukurou looked from the frizbee to Oki and back a few times, and decided perhaps she was right - though he had no intentions of playing fetch. "Kitsi and Ruu are fine," he said instead, and knew it instinctively. Slowly, he began to follow Oki stepping in the exact places she did. He folded the frizbee into a point, and set it on the ground, showing Kurado which way they had gone...

Kurado back tracked to where he knew where he last saw the pair of them. He glanced around trying to find some kind of tracks when he saw the small markings. He twisted on his heel and dashed away trying to catch up with them.
