| - "Clack, Clack, Clack, Clack" the mechanical sound of a moving puppet shattered the silence of the peaceful plains and a large metallic scorpion was seen picking it's way over the landscape, a stark contrast to the subtle greens and browns of the landscape. The young man manipulating it from its back seemed even more out of place, his jet black hair messily framing his face and his attire seeming to enhance his dark demeanor. The man's single icy blue eye alert, picking every detail from his surroundings. The man's partner on the other hand seemed to be aloof his eyes were lowered slightly, giving him a lazy look that was made worse by his seemingly relaxed posture and the casual toying with the hilt of his katana. He looked to the man on the scorpion, his voice silken and quiet yet with a steel undertone "Suri-kun, who shall get the next opponent we come across? It seems as if the fortune hunters have been rather scarce lately, maybe we've scared them off". Ayatsuri chuckled slightly before speaking, his voice lighter and more cheery than his partners "No idea... Rock-paper-scissors Shiro-sama?" Heishiro nodded, his face comically serious as he held out his fist at the same moment as Ayatsuri and they both did the child's chant "Yán, Yán, Pa!". Heishiro chose rock, Ayatsuri paper. Ayatsuri grinned, laughing as he waved his hand about making the scorpion dance as well "I'll take the next one Shiro-sama". Heishiro shrugged and continued walking, his voice floating over his shoulder to Ayatsuri "Won't be too long before you get him either" What the hell is that noise? the thought echoed across Agnihem's mind the same way a constant clacking sound echoed across the grassy plains he was. It had started out as a faint noise, fairly far off in the distance, but the more the Hidden Mist walked, apparently the closer to the source of the sound he got, for it just got louder and louder. Then he saw it in the distance, a large, mechanical scorpion trudging it's way towards his general direction. On the back of the scorpion stood a single person. Curious to discover the identity of the apparent puppet master, Agnihem dragged a gloved hand through his stark white hair before performing a simple transformation technique, giving him the appearance of a simple trader. "Let's see if you have a bounty on your head my friend." he muttered to himself as he continued walking toward his new "prey". Heishiro smirks slightly as he picks up a small exertion of chakra, and larger source. He calls over his shoulder to Ayatsuri "Suri-kun, we have a bit of company." Ayatsuri simply nods and hops off his scorpion before activating one of it's mechanisms, opening the containment area in it's back and taking out his puppet Sakkaku and attaching his Chakra Strings to it's body and it immediately disappears from view as he looks to Heishiro "Shiro-sama, which direction?" Heishiro simply lifts his arm and points, Ayatsuri sends the invisible Sakkaku trailing in that direction as he hops back on to his scorpion Āmādo-jishi. He manipulates Sakkaku with a single finger with his other chakra strings attached to his other puppets and his scorpion, disguising the fact that he's manipulating multiple puppets with the fact that only one is clearly visible. Ayatsuri grins "Hey, Shiro-sama. If this is anyone interesting... They're mine." Heishiro simply raises a hand, keeping his eyes fixed in the direction of the chakra he had picked up. "Suri-kun, it would appear to be trader. Keep Sakkaku near him though, never too careful" There was something nearby. Agnihem didn't know if it was paranoia, the supposed sixth sense veteran warriors got from countless battles, or his mediocre at best ability to sense chakra, but he knew that there was something nearby. Now that he was closer, Agnihem could clearly make out the person on the scorpion, Ayatsuri Ningyō, a S-class criminal and puppet master. Which probably meant that the presence he was feeling was one of his puppets. There was another person next to the scorpion, Heishiro, another S-class criminal. Agnihem thought a moment if it was worth trying to capture these two. While they were technically criminals they were essentially welcomed wherever they went. Might as well challenge them. If I win and capture them then I get a nice pay raise. If not I get some good fighting experience. With that decided Agnihem carefully drew a kunai and wrapped an explosive tag around the hilt, while giving himself a small nick on his thumb. With that he continued walking toward them.
