Yuuto felt Shira move in his arms and realized that whatever must have been keeping the host awake must be starting to wear off. He didn't know what Tesla was doing - he felt that a large scale Jutsu had been activated, but he didn't have the luxury to stop and look - not when he was out of place, running through rooftops, attracting attention and holding the girl the Hokage was dragging off to an execution in his arms. He was, all in all, a samurai in a ninja town. "I'd love to say that we are, dear, I really do." he said to Shira, not exactly skilled in the art of comforting children. Then again, if she was a ninja as well she should be able to handle herself in this kind of situation. [i]Blasted Republic, what were they thinking sending a child into Konoha like this? [/i] He also had one other concern - Tesla wasn't following him. Instead, she stayed near the Hokage, having used that swamp technique. He didn't know her for long - heck, he didn't even know her name - but she was still a comrade in arms who had, more or less, led this admittedly crazy rescue attempt. Whoever she was, he hoped she would stay safe. ...Speaking of staying safe... Yuuto's sixth sense warned him of danger, and he dashed to the side in time to avoid a kunai. Several Konoha ninja were after him, and that was no surprise - it was daytime, he stuck out like a sore thumb and he was no ninja - he wasn't sneaky at all. He continued running, realizing that outrunning these shinobi would be impossible with Shira in his arms. [i]Damnit, what do I do? Do I let her down for a moment to fight them off? If I do that, that would give time for even more potential pursuers to catch up...[/i]
