Ryou let out a sigh of relief as Kii grabbed his arm. They were going to get out of here and find Shira; there was no other option. They were a team and that meant they needed to rely on each other and not let things like revenge distract. Ryou understood, he really did. But that could be because they all were something more than a team- they were friends. Honestly, how many ninja teams got that privileged? "Thanks," Ryou said, nodding briefly as he wobbly led them further away from Taiho. Ryou wasn't really one-hundred percent sure what he was thanking Kii for exactly. There was the fact that Kii was willing to leave the fight, but there was also the fact that Kii wanted to kill Taiho. He wanted to strike down Taiho, not only because he betrayed his trust, but because he hurt his friends.
Ryou froze as he noticed... buzzing? After Kii mentioned the Kikaichu, it took him a few seconds to focus on the bugs. Shira! If the bugs were okay, that meant she had to be okay. Not that Ryou had been doubting Shira's condition, she was his friend so she couldn't ever die, but just this little reassurance was enough to make him start smiley like a goofy, water blob. "Kii, Kii!" Ryou said, grabbing his friend's arm in joy. They still had time! "Hey there, little buggies~ Can you show us to Shira, pretty please~?" Ryou asked, treating the bugs more like little puppies than ninja bugs.
