[b][h3][color=goldenrod]Jaakuna Sawada, The Sundance Kid[/color]; Hideyoshi Sawada, Kohona's North Star[/b]
A Collaboration between Altered Tundra and Kal-El[/h3][/center][hr]

From everything that happened with Paneru and that moment that they shared(Jaakuna still didn’t know what to call that) and even to Sentou and Shin coming in and telling Paneru that they had to do a mission, Jaakuna still didn’t understand what was happening. At least at the time he didn't. Even more so, when he found himself making that big speech about Paneru should stand up for himself and not let people like Yamato make him feel that he wasn’t a real shinobi, Jaakuna couldn’t help but smile. It was weird and it was something he didn’t expect, but Jaakuna somehow felt that he had certain feelings for Paneru.He had no idea what it meant or how he was going to deal with it. This, in turn, caused the Sundance Kid to be lost in thought, even as the breeze from the wind blew in a mild gust of wind into his room, blowing some dust and gravel into the room.

When Jaakuna noticed the wind, he stared outside it, enjoying the view that was in front of him. He also was enjoying the wind blowing his hair back. For some strange reason, Jaakuna found a bit of peace in the view and the wind.

"Found you." 

[color=goldenrod][b]"WHAT THE HELL?!"[/b][/color] Jaakuna was startled seeing his brother's face suddenly in parallel to his own.

The body of the young jounin dropped upside from the very windowseal that Jaak was staring out of it. Hair dangling in the wind from gravity attempting to push him downwards. Their eyes would lock almost instantly, Hideyoshi just stared at the kid that he thought to be a big dummy. Several steps forward brought him on to the ceiling right before Jaak's bed. Jaak's condition was not too bad and it was obvious that he would live so Hideyoshi needed not to lecture. Instead he walked up to him, reached downward and poked his little brother's forehead. 

"So..how are you feeling? Like a champion, Jaak-Kun?"

[color=goldenrod][b]"Would you cut that out?"[/b] [/color]Jaakuna annoyingly requested. He did not like being poked in his forehead, let alone by Hideyoshi.  Jaakuna pushed Yoshi's finger away from his forehead as he would lightly moan in irritation. [color=goldenrod][b]"I'm fine, no need to look so worried."[/b][/color] The sarcasm was strong with Jaakuna. 

Jaakuna laid back in his bed with his head laying against the pillow. He turned his head just slightly as so he was looking directly at Hideyoshi. [color=goldenrod][b]"You just missed Sentou."[/b][/color] Jaakuna nonchalantly mentioned. [color=goldenrod][b]"If you would have gone through the hospital like [i]normal[/i] people, you probably would have ran into her."[/b][/color] Jaakuna said. He knew that there was an ever-present love of some sort between Hideyoshi and Sentou.

Jaak's tough guy act was nothing new to Hideyoshi. He knew his brother well enough now to know he acted this way when he was injured purely to stem Yoshi's worry and look tougher. The brothers were only a year apart and yet Yoshi had leapt so far ahead that even he knew it could make a sibling feel inadequate. Then Jaak decided to bring up Sentou, one of Yoshi's best friends. "Nice to know that she made it to see you." Hideyoshi folded his arms and swayed his hips an inch. "So how did mom take it? She freak out or in strides?" A smile formed on his lips just thinking of his mother. She could overreact despite knowing the field of work that her children were within. 

[color=goldenrod][b]“I wouldn’t exactly say that,”[/b][/color] Jaakuna said in response to Yoshi’s comment about Sentou. [color=goldenrod][b]“She didn’t come to see me personally.”[/b][/color] Jaakuna continued, [color=goldenrod][b]“Paneru was here…checking up on me,” Jaakuna’s face turned slightly red, and his body as well as his tone of voice tensed up a bit, [color=goldenrod][b]“And, he was needed for a mission, so her and Shin came and snatched him up.”[/b][/color]  Jaakuna did something of a shrug. 

When Hideyoshi brought up mom, Jaakuna couldn’t help but think back to the first night that she came to visit and how livid she was. He vividly remembered her using a large quantity of curse words describing how Jaakuna was reckless and that he’ll end up on the retired list if he wasn’t careful. From everything that happened in the warehouse including Yamato’s sister being kidnapped, and Takeshi’s violent gore bath, seeing his mother go off on him like that put such fear into his mind that Jaakuna couldn’t get the image of her head on top of the devil’s body for a week.

[color=goldenrod][b]“Oh you know mom. She made herself [i]and[/i] her feelings known.”[/b][/color] That was an understatement. [color=goldenrod][b]“They should be getting back here pretty soon, though. Her and Aisha went to get some drinks.”[/b][/color] Jaakuna said.

He noticed Jaakuna's face turned red and tensed up by the mention of Paneru's name. It was confusing to figure just what that meant. Instead he shook the thoughts off and paid attention to Jaak's next few words. He was glad he had just messed their mother. She was a very nice lady but at the same time she could have a rage greater than all the bijuu. There was a time when she unleashed the full force her rage on Hidiyoshi when Jaak broke several ribs whilst on a mission, needless to say Yoshi could barely walk for a few days. 

"Before they return." Yoshi's voice turned serious, "What happened? I haven't been fully briefed but what went on in there?" 

When Hideyoshi asked about what exactly happened, Jaakuna just laid there, silent. It was a minute before he started speaking, [color=goldenrod][b]"Well, I'm sure you know about Shogo and a couple other chunin got murdered, right?"[/b][/color] Jaakuna said, [color=goldenrod][b]"well, it was Jashinists. They were the ones who did it and not Yamato's father or the Yakuza. They wanted everyone to think it was them, but trust me it wasn't."[/b][/color] Jaakuna said, a definite serious expression on his face. [color=goldenrod][b]"And the chunins, including myself, met up and talked about it. A big heated argument happened between myself, Daiki, Takeshi, and Yamato. Safe to say that the latter stormed off."[/b][/color] Jaakuna paused briefly before continuing. [color=goldenrod][b]"It wasn't planned, but a good number of us followed Yamato after he left in anger, and  went off to that warehouse where the real culprits were at."[/b][/color] Jaakuna said, [color=goldenrod][b]"I admit, it wasn't the smartest thing to do, but we couldn't leave him behind."[/b][/color] Jaakuna continued, [color=goldenrod][b]"In any case, we were met with a shitton of Jashinists which was how I got these injuries. But I'll never forget what I saw in that basement..."[/b][/color] JAakuna's voice went low, full of uncertain fear.

"Jashinists? Yeah I didn't know about that one." His mind rambled on the very thought of the Jashinists infecting Konoha. Why would they frame Yamato's family and kidnap his sister? That didn't add up to him. Suddenly his hearing picked up on Aisha and Chrome returning to the room. Their voices were happy and Aisha would most definitely love to see Yoshi but, he knew how Chrome would act. Yoshi didn't know about Jaak's condition until after but she would probably drill him for, an act that stemmed from losing her husband. She blamed him but not fully. It was a complicated situation that Yoshi did not want to handle. By the time Aisha and Chrome came into Yoshi was already outside the window, hiding to the side. He wanted to investigate thie situation further.[/center]
