"I had no idea that she was of the Iako clan. I only learned of it when you said her name this past afternoon. Even then I wasn't sure. I did not want to hurt you, but you left me no choice. I gave Cora my word that no harm would come to her, and she trusts me. However..." Kuroda trailed off, listening to the wind. "If you want to catch Aiko alive, you had better go in that direction before the other shinobi get to her. Also, I do believe that she is searching for Cora, maybe you can lure her away by telling her that you know where she is. I think it might be better if you found her. Yashamaru can go with you. I will return home and apologise to my father for betraying our people. You have my word."

(Sorry for all the diolouge, but I'm kinda getting into character and right now my heart is pounding and I'm looking for a way to get out of captivity. I just hope that Kuroda's father is lenient...)

Yashamaru shook his head. Who ever won this little squable, the Iako woman would still be captured. He ran off quickly. He just needed to follow the trail of dead Kuga shinobi to find her. He came up behind her, and released his ebon rope. It wrapped itself around Aiko, but didn't hurt her. It was just like she was being bound by invisible rope.
"Hold on, Iako woman. My supperior tells me to take you as prisoner. Oh, and Cora is fine and alive at the Kuro village," he said.

(sorry for getting any names mixed up... I'm terrible at names!)

(i don't mind, me too. And its the Koga village but we get what you mean)

"I wouldn't tell him if i were you. He'l make an example of you beacuse your his son. It won't be a quick death. Made all the worse to hear Cora's screams." he replied flatly "I'd keep it between ourselves and not tell him anything." He looked at Kuroda with dislike, before replaceing his katana. "I don't belive you. But i belive i can trust you not to betray us even more." He let the ice wall drop, and turned in the direction of Aiko's voice.

He came up and looked at Aiko tied up in Yashamaru's rope. "I'm sorry Aiko. But circumstances have changed and I can't let you run free. Don't worry, you'll be reunited with Cora-sama in a moment." He regarded the rope "I advise you not to struggle, that rope could cut through you if you move to much." he aded coldly, delibrately not looking at her.

Aiko eyed Zutao coldly and then looked away, feeling the bitter taste of betrayal fill her mouth. Why should I have expected anything different? she thought. After all, he is one of them. Yet at the moment she felt a pang of guilt for her hate-filled thoughts. He is just doing his duty. You would do the same. she reminded herself. Ignoring his warning she still struggled against the rope, heedless of the sharp pain as the rope cut into her arms, letting a small river of blood to flow. She almost welcomed the pain, it would be a welcome distraction against the frustration and helplessness she felt now. "Cora had best be unharmed..." she said evenly in response to Yashamaru, she knew Cora was strong, but as a shinobi it was her duty to guard her and she did not want to think what could befall her friend if she were to be discovered in the Koga mansion alone.

"Zutao, the quickest and less dangerous way to our fortress is by air. If you could carry her," He nodded toward Aiko, "then I could try and carry you both to our fortress. It might save all our lives."

((Oh, I am so loving this story. Also, I have thought of Cora's Powers, they will be shown soon.))

Cora smiled as she placed the flute in her lap, she had perfected the son she had written for her beloved. "Kuroda, I hope this will make you smile." she said quietly.

Zutao struggled visably for a moment; obviousely not wanting to go anywhere near her. "Fine" he hoisted her into his arms "Struggle and i knock you out" he warned, still manageing not to look at her directly. He walked back over to Kuroda "And just so you understand the situation better; your preciouse Cora came very willingly." he sneered showing exactly what he throught of her.

Aiko grunted in response and looked away, not wanting to display any other sign of weakness before them. "Why don't you just spear me?" she remarked wryly though she offered little resistance, knowing that bound as she was it would be next to impossible to take on three seasoned shinobi. When I get out of this, I promise you I'll... she broke off in mid-thought as a new idea crossed her mind. If I can just find out Cora is well, perhaps I can get the two of us back to Iako lands, she thought to herself. Fine, I'll play along for now. Patience is a virtue of the shinobi, and I'll wait for as long as it takes to strike, she vowed silently.

When Zutao had hold of Aiko, Yashamaru, with a small change in his fingers, made his Ebon rope unwrapp itself from the Iako. He pulled it back and made it wrapp around his fore-arms.
"If you don't mind, I'd rather walk. Just to make sure there's no uninvited followers," he said...

"Because I don't want you to die" He replied harshly, so that only she could hear and finally looking at her; his eyes full of pain. He looked up and the look was gone replaced by one of hard indiffrence. "Good idiea, we'll meet you back there. Kuroda; lets go."

Kuroda nodded, then, wrapping his arms around Zutao's waist, called the wind. Because of the extra weight, they did not fly as high or as fast as Kuroda had hoped, but it was high enough to be unobtrusive, and fast enough to cut travel time nearly in half. Crossing the border, they soon approached the Koga Fortress.

As they landed in the courtyard Zutao pulled himself out of Kuroda's grasp. Obviousely still annoyed with him. "I'm going to take the Iako to see Cora, otherwise we'll have no end of fuss" he snapped releaseing Aiko from his soft grasp. He untied a sash from his waist and held it before her. "Your a good shinobi, better than me in some ways. If i were you i'd be trying to memorise this place so i could escape. I don't trust you."
He tied the sash tenderly round her head, yet tied it so that the thinest peice was over her eyes and she could see. Badly, but still see.
He took her arm to guide her. "Where's Cora?" He asked Kuroda coldly.

Kuroda sighed, "Follow me. She is in my rooms, where she is safe." He walked quietly through empty halls and avoided main passages so that the prisoner could not be seen. Soon they arrived at the door to his living quarters, flute music could be heard faintly through the door. Kuroda knocked softly, "Cora, It't Kuroda. I need you to open the door for me. It's locked from inside. Also, you can trust who I have brought with me." He shot a warning glance at Zutao, sending him the message You lay one finger on Cora, ever, or do anything that would compromise her safety in these halls and you will regret it.

Aiko bit her lip to bite back a protest as she was blindfolded. Yet in her heart she knew that the cause of her frustration was not merely the humiliation of capture but her inner war between duty and her personal feelings for Zutao. All her life she had been guided by duty-bound by the code of the ninja. Yet, when she saw his eyes filled with pain-although the look was brief-she could feel her heart constrict in sorrow and guilt. Her guilt was all the more compounded as she realized that Zutao did not blindfold her completely (though her vision was obscured, it was not completely removed)-an act of compassion she realized that he did not have to give. Without further protest she allowed Zutao to lead her down the halls until they stopped outside of Cora's door.

Zutao sneered but nodded in understanding to Kuroda's meaning, then pulled Aiko through the door and took of her blindfold, *accidently* running his hand gently down her neck as he did so. "She's in there" he whispered in her ear softly, then turn her slightly so she could see out the window at the end of the corridor, The window over looked the courtyard, and held the northstar within it, showing that this was the south end of the fortress.
