At the gates. [NK.]

Hikarishi ended his speed blast just before reaching the gates of the village. He turned his head and waited for the other two to show up, which shouldn't take to long. After they arrived he would continue on his way to the gate and wait for someone to come forward, remembering what happened last time he came uninvited.

Catching up to Hika with his own speed he began to slow down as well walking only 2 feet behind the young man, he couldn't wait to see what would happen. The possibilities were endless, putting the hood of his robe over his face as the parchment that was sewn into his robes blew in the wind. He smiled ready for anything.

Maku was breathing heavily as his two companions came within sight.  He had had his chakra suppression jutsu active the whole time he had been walking up.  His chakra levels would appear very low, equal to that of an average genin.  His appearance was also vastly different from his first trip here.  Now standing taller, with bright red hair past his shoulders in a pony tail.  He also had a thin bear covering his face, and bright blue eyes.  His clothes where now black robes, that resembled priestly attire similar to Youka's though less elaborate than his friends special clothing.  Everything about him was different from his first visit, down to his hidden chakra level.  It should be impossible for anyone to recognize him now. 

As he finally made it to the gate he stood next to Youka and waited to see what would happen

Before they made it to the gates completely and began to wait he walked up to the two men and held out his hands. He pointed a finger at their necks and would place it upon them unless they refused to let him touch him, which could result in a bad situation if they could not trust him he could not trust them. If the touch was made a flux of chakra would leave his body and enter theirs causing what looked like a three tomoe sharingan to form on their necks.

It would after this was done that the first words would be 'Spoken' in them coming to the place. "Alright the jutsu i just placed on you will allow you to talk to me or each other or all of us...." He would explain while not talking looking at both of them to prove it was no hoax before turning around and continuing on to the gates.

Hika had turned around and started to raise his finger to poke Youka on the side of the neck if his trajectory was right. Youka had no reason to think Hika would be trying to harm him so he accepted the awkward touch without resisting. It was then that he heard Hika speaking to him without moving his lips as if it was a mental thing."Very well he would reply". He hoped Maku would accept as well he knew the boy didn't know Hika like he did but hopefully seeing him accept it would make sure no flags were raised.

Maku accepted the peculiar jutsu, for no real reason. Maku was always pretty go with the flow and for the moment he had no reason to believe he was in danger. When he heard Hika's voice in his head he reflected what a useful jutsu his was and said as much without speaking. "You deffienently have interesting friends Youka."  Maku waited to see what had happened next. He was getting nervous about entering the village but his it from his companions.  He hoped they wouldn't be waiting much longer, though outwardly Maku always looked patient inwardly he was incredibly inpatient, but waiting was the order for the day, at least for now

Kyohaku Uchiha had decided to go out and take a walk in the woods.Maybe even do a little training. as she approached the gates she saw a very familiar person. "Hikarishi? " she said very surprised. She suddenly felt so many overwhelming emotions. Hate, love, sadness and happiness hit her all at once as tears came to her eyes. "is it really you?" she asked as she looked at him.

Hikarishi was glancing down at the time but a soft and sweet voice fluttered upon his ears. Tears welled up inside of him as he looked up and beheld the sight of his little sister Kyohaku. His mind was screaming at him telling him to do a million different things at once but he only did one. In a flash of speed he was in front of the one whom he had vowed to protect and was trying to pull her into a hug. "Im sorry for leaving you Kyo...." was all he could manage to say hoping the rest would be unspoken and she would be able to understand.

It had been awhile since Youka had seen Hika show such emotions or any emotion for that matter. It was just once that he had broken down on the ground talking to himself, but this seemed more of a loving emotion. He assumed that this little girl running up was the sister he had mentioned. Hika rushed over to her in a flash of speed, Youka was surprised she didn't get ran over by her brother.

All Youka could do was smile at such a show of affection as it made his heart warm to till see such love and peace in the world.

Not knowing the man Maku couldn't say much about the interaction he was beholding.  He had never had siblings, his father he held in a bit of discontent, and his mother had left him shortly after his father died.  The only one who had ever shown him much was an uncle.  And all he did was trap Maku in a genjutsu for several days, but that lead to his strength now so he took it as a form of love.

Inwardly Maku sighed to himself, having been on his own and almost training exclusively alone, he began to wonder if he was loosing that part of his brain that let him connect with other humans.  He really didn't feel anything while watching them.  His only thought was, if this female could let them into the leaf.  Well we would soon find out.  Knowing that these thoughts wouldn't be met with much approval, he hitched a smile on his bearded face as Youka had done.  

Mentally communicating with Youka alone he posed the man a question.  "Youka, I am speaking to you alone, if this female will allow us into the village, what will be our first stop.  I am willing to follow your directions, but i need to know the basis of our intentions upon entering to be useful.  Also when we finish here I have been thinking of returning, albeit briefly, to Takigakure.  Perhaps if I can speak to my leader we can work something out of my leaving.  If I can stay on good terms perhaps then we will have a place of safety to stay in while we discuss our future plans and plan our next stop."  At this Maku stopped speaking and waited to see what would happen next.
