On the outside, Jaakuna was supportive to Aoi. He showed a deep feeling of condolence to her, but to her knowledge -- or anyone else’s -- he didn’t know what they were going through. However, on the inside, Jaakuna knew exactly what it felt like. He knew what it felt like losing someone that was so close to you. He knew what it felt like to know that, after the moment they passed, you would never be able to hear their voice ever again. Truth was that Jaakuna knew what Aoi was going through, but due to the sensitve matter of his father being killed for being a traitor, Jaakuna couldn’t speak and say “I understand what you’re going through.” He just couldn’t say that. He wanted to, but he just couldn’t.

A minute or so later, Shin arrived, seeing for himself what exactly had happened. Takeshi and Haruka also arrived shortly after Shin did. While Takeshi offered words of condolence to Aoi, Shin did as well, but he tried to at least do something more than that. He used his Crystal Release to encase Rena inside a thin, yet durable layer of his Orange Crystal much akin to what Daiki and Yamato were frozen with when their fight got out of hand. Shin would then ask that Paneru to accompany him to take Rena to the hospital. 

Just as they were going to, the Jounin Commander’s little sister, Ayame Choko, ordered Shin to drop Rena. It wasn’t no casual order. Jaakuna could feel the seriousness in the tone of her voice. It was like an order that a superior gave to their subordinates. Considering that Ayame was all of the chunin’s superior, the order was heard in everyone of them. Ayame went on to say that Rena would die. She would then tell everyone to go home. There was a good amount of shock among the chunin, no doubt. It went from being there for Aoi to being told that there’s no more that they could do and that they all should go home. Ayame even stressed that they shouldn’t talk to anybody about this.

Jaakuna was going to say something, but Ayame then requested the location of Yamato. Jaakuna had a curious expression on his face. [color=goldenrod][i]Yamato? That guy has been away for a good while, even..[/i][/color] Jaakuna didn’t want to finish that thought. He might have not know Yamato as well as most of the other chunin. Hell, he didn’t know much about yamato even when they were all still in the academy together, but he never once thought that Yamato would be capable of something like killing Rena and Shogo. Even if he threw Shogo into the lake in an antagonistic way not too long ago, Jaakuna stood firm on his opinion about Yamato’s innocence.

As Jaakuna came back from his own thoughts, he looked at everyone, unsure if they were going to heed Ayame’s stern order or stay around. That was when Aoi told Ayame about where Daiki was. That made Jaakuna think about whether or not Daiki had found Yamato or not. Still, it’s not like there would be anything worse to happen that what has already happened, right?

It was on that note, that Jaakuna followed in Paneru’s footsteps and he also went home. Added to the partying, the booze, the fight between Daiki and Yamato, and now the whole ordeal about Rena and Shogo being killed, Jaakuna did think it was a good idea for him to go home.  He still had the lingering thought of if Yamato had anything to do with it or not. [color=goldenrod][b]“Oh, of course he didn’t. He’s not [I]that[/I] insane.”[/b][/color] Jaakuna wanted to be right about that.
