Something moved, and the corner of Katsumi's eye flickered to it. Sakura was approaching, as quietly and timidly as ever, eyes fixed on the floor, trying to remain unnoticed. Katsumi suddenly felt a sweep of nostalgia as she looked across at the girl, but she pushed it aside and then turned to the others. "Is this it, is everyone here now?"

"Seem to be" Fei replied once he had stopped laughing at Gosan, who had now moved back and was scowling at the group

"Good. Then we can get moving, we need to travel to the harbour, it's a day or two's walk, but if we hurry we can make it before our ship leaves. Shall we be going then?"

Fei nodded and picked up his bag "Where to after that?"
Gosan didnt say anything but silently picked his sack up and began walking down the road

"The boat will take us to Mexico, that's where Manabu is sending us anyway. Don't ask me why." She added, slinging her own bag over her shoulder and heading down the road, Sakura following her and Kenji bringing up the rear.

"Mexico!" he stood rooted to the spot for a minute, a mixture between happy, surprised and nervous playing across his young face, before he shook his head and jogged up to next to the curvy woman "Why Mexico?" he asked both her and Sakura
Kofu followed quietly through the trees, eyes constantly flickering around the area for any suspicious movement

Katsumi sighed heavily. "I just said, don't ask me why." She walked off ahead on her own.
Sakura watched her walk away then turned to him. "It's probably where their base is situated, or where they were seen of heard from last." She suggested helpfully and quietly.
"Hey! HEY!!" Shigeo sprinted after the group. "Thanks for... waiting!" He growled, out of breath.

"We thought you would be busy with your latest *ahem* friend" Fei grinned "And i think you might be right Sakura"

Sakura blushed and hurried after Katsumi, who hadn't stopped to wait for them.
"Well I erm, well you know... long journey and all. I needed to make sure I er... had one last go before I left." He grinned.

"Absolutely." Shigeo winked and looked up as the group came to a halt. Kenji had gone on ahead and was arguing with Katsumi on which way to go.
"Why? Why would we go through the village and waste time when there's a much faster way?" Katsumi was saying.
"Because your way is dangerous, there could be all sorts of people waiting there, and don't forget, not everybody is as trained as we are." Kenji argued back.

Gosn span on his heel "You think we cant handle ourselves? I could handle anything that jumped out and from what ive heard youre only half bad so you should be able to fight one or two of them" he snapped

"I wasn't talking about you." Kenji replied calmly, though he didn't appreciate being spoken to like that. "If you want to go your way Itou, then fine, I'm going this way, and everyone else can choose which way to go."

Fei raised his hand slightly "Wouldnt sticking together be the best option? Anyone in the woods will be less likely to attack a larger group...right?"

"That's exactly what I suggested." Kenji muttered quietly.
Katsumi crossed her arms and frowned. "Well we're wasting time just standing here, everyone choose who you want to go with so we can get moving."

"EVERYONE is going through the woods because its fastest" Gosan snapped

"And just when did you become the one to start making decisions for everyone?" Kenji asked, his voice still calm, though inside he started to grow angry. "If you want to go through the woods with Itou, then fine. But don't try to decide for everyone, like you know what's best."
Sakura looked from one side to the other. She secretly wanted to go with Kenji, through the village for safety, but Gosan frightened her, she didn't want to argue with him.

"Youre just scared. Its doesnt take much intelligence to realise that any cwards hiding in the woods would be scared of a full group, even if they werent with me"

Kenji had a feeling this would go on for a while, he turned his head to face Gosan, as if his blind eyes were studying him from behind their blindfold. "Like I said, go with Itou if that is how you feel. I am going this way, and anyone who agrees is welcome to follow." He turned and started to walk away towards the village.
Katsumi snorted. "Anyone going with him?" She asked.
