Kairashi Tries to get an Audience with the Mizu

Zachariah was hit by the words of this low ranking individual, someone who deserved a position much higher. With that, he immediately stood up and payed the bill, sensing around the village for Suzaku. He was walking towards the gates. Quickly, he would grab for the person he was with and attempt to pull them into the alley. If this succeeded, they would once again be in the world of holograms, moving as fast as they could towards Suza, that speed being Zachariah's speed as he was the one controlling the platform. Upon finding him at the gates, Zachariah said "You watch from here." He would teleport to the main world, using the lanterns within Suzaku as a catalyst. "Suzaku, I have one more thing to ask you. Would you mind a quick examination? You seriously left me nervous about your health earlier." he said as the person whom he had summoned within his realm and teleported out with walked up. It was the one who could read minds. However, Suzaku would not know this.

Kairashi was dragged out into the alley, back into the strange hologram realm. Smiling to the Tenkage he would tip his hat having replaced it atop his head, "I shall do as you ask Zachariah, however I am worried about this confrontation, what if he physically assaults you...I'll be stuck here with no way to interfere and take the attack."

Suzaku would watch as Zach would appear in front of him, another man also with him. A TMR most likely. Looking at him, he would wonder why Zach had appeared so suddenly. Why hadn't he asked this before he left the office? That, Suzaku didn't know and didn't want to ask. Shrugging his shoulders, Suzaku would reply to Zach

"Sure, I guess. Got nothing to hide."

Suzaku would then stand there in front of Zach, waiting to see what would happen next. Suzaku was sure though, it wasn't going to be fun.......

The person once known as Taizen would walk up to Suzaku. In his hand, he would soon hold a vial of liquid handed to him by Zachariah. "After we move to a more comfortable location, I ask that you drink this. Just a simple relaxant so that the examination can go a little easier. Now, if you would, please do follow." Taizen would lead the way to a little building, a small inn. Assuming Suzaku followed, the next series of events would take place.

Taizen would ask for a room for the day, and Zachariah would hand the manager some ryo to cover it. The three of them would be led up to the room. Again, assuming Suzaku went along with this all, Taizen would hand over the vial to Suzaku. "Drink it quickly, it has a bit of a foul taste." If this happened, then Suzaku would soon fall unconscious, and Taizen would begin the mind reading. He explored Suzaku's mind for information on the new item, and also found the boys "insanity". This troubled Zachariah, and Taizen would keep coursing through the persons mind. He found the time where the insanity began to fester, to grow. After meeting someone who's name was Gawain. After extracting any more information needed, Zachariah would return Taizen to his coffin as Suzaku continued to sleep there. "I used to trust people. Maybe I was wrong," Zachariah would say as he carried the Mizukage hunched over his shoulder. Returning to his realm, he went over to Kairashi. If he pulled off as he intended to grab Karashi's shoulder, they would once again enter the real world via a small shop outside the Mizukage's office, one he had used long ago, after of course moving to that area. They would walk into the office, the guards startled to see the Mizukage knocked out and carried by the Tenkage. "Out" is all Zachariah said to them, pointing at the door. Upon their exit, assuming Kairashi followed him in, Zachariah would say "He is going insane. I am not sure what to do, nor who to trust, anymore." He sat down, his shoulders heavy.

Suzaku would follow Zach and his TMR Taizen to the motel room, wondering what was going to happen. Was he going to get raped? He really hoped not....... Zach then handed him a vial full of an odd liquid. Suspicious, Suzaku would inspect it for a few moments before he was told to drink it. Opening the lid, Suzaku would down the bottle and pass out within seconds. The events that occured after were groggy.....He would wake up on the Tenkage's shoulder, his eyes wide open. He would look around, everything seeming to be blurry, but he could still make out that it was the Mizukage office. Tapping Zach on the back, Suzaku would speak.

"First....... What happened? And second...... May I please be let go?"

Kairashi stood very still, until Zachariah returned to the holographic realm to retrieve him. Smiling he would follow Zach who had what looked like the Mizu slung over one shoulder, his prompt ordering of the guards to leave would be of no concern to the man but the next words out of the Tenkage's throat were rather disheartening. "Zachariah maybe you should still trust, just remember to keep your friends close but your enemies closer, if it comes right down to an issue with your subordinates put into place an information network to watch over your assets. If it comes to that I'll be happy to lend you my limited skill set for any help you should need in the future, or if you just need a friendly chat to distract yourself from the troubles of the world I'm always around." He would smile while leaning back against the wall in one corner an even distance from both the kage.

Zachariah heard the Mizukage speak up, and put him down in a chair in the office. "His name is Gawain, then? When I asked if you were ok, why did you not say this?" He glared at the Mizukage. "You would let one man's words corrupt you? Perhaps you are not fit for the role of a kage." He turned away. "What should happen now? You tell me, what should happen now." This whole time, he had been making sure to note the chakra of the Mizukage, and now, after he finished speaking, he would watch it truly carefully.

Suzaku would listen to Zach's words, confused beyond belief. He would sit in his chair, trying to remember who this 'Gawain' was. Was he the man he kept seeing in his dreams that told him to embrace his insanity? Was he the one who was reported to be seen outside of Kirigakure? Yes..... It all came back to him. He was the one who he met on that fateful day, that one who had almost killed him.

".......Gawain? I haven't seen him since he tried to kill me! I don't know what you are talking about!"

Suzaku would watch as Zach turned away, obviously angry. Suzaku would begin to speak

"Well, lets see, I can go to a hospital to see why I am loosing my sanity. I can also have one of my and your anbu guards watch my every movement and read my thoughts, so they can see why you think Gawain is the cause of this..... Because he is simply the leader of the Tornado village...... I haven't seen him since he was a genin."

"Yes, let's do that. You shall have a nice stay at the hospital, under constant physical and mental watch. While you are there, I need to have a.. talk with a few people." He had turned back towards the Mizukage to say this. Now, turning over to Kairashi, he would say "Would you be part of the ones to watch him? Your way with words is outstanding, and I feel you may be able to help him." Now, walking towards the door, but not yet opening it, "Now, what do you each think I should do, all things considered?"

Kairashi had politely moved a little further away while the two kage had been talking, watching the door and waiting patiently. The man would turn slightly when the Tenkage would address him, "I will watch the Mizukage as you ask, and I think your best plan of action at this point would be to keep a close eye on your own deck of cards, after all a single card bending or shirking its duties will cause your house to fall." He shrugged slightly, "but my new duties are to watch and thats what I will do."
