The White haired Demon

Yoko Ran up to the gates of Ame, he finally found it, his white hair down his back, his ears twitch on the top of his head, he knocked hard and hollered out "HELLO ANYONE HERE!" meanwhile he thought back to when he entered the boarders where he tossed his Kumo Headband to the side, and his kumo Anbu Mask, He was no longer associated with Kumo in his mind, but there was Answers he needed to seek, and this was where he would start

As he approached The boy would find some things very off about the village. Well... Truelly there would be only one thing off that would be noticable. Just past the great gate of Amekagure the only thing that could be seen was a sea of green with a long opening that turned to the left about six meters in. It wouldn't be dificult to assume this to be a hedge maze, which it was, though it's creations was interesting at best. The maze looked incredibly realistic, though it was man made with a combination of wood and faux tree branches that reached out far enough and packed dense enough to hide it's true construction. From the ground it wouldn't be clear exactly how far the maze went (Disclaimer: dis bitch cray.... it goes all the way through the village) But if the entrant were to follow it he would find it winding for what would feel like a mile, dipping in and out of buildings and somehow multileveled (now that's good craftsmanship) It would be impossible to traverse fully without help. The cosplay queen planned this.

"You're late!!!!" At the entrance to the maze a small boy dressed in an impressive white rabbit cosplay looked up, yelling out to the boy before zipping off around the first turn of the maze holding a comically large pocket watch in his left hand. THrough the rain Aios watched, grinning from ear to ear.

"Soon Ai... Soon my entrance will happen." The words would be impossible to hear from the gate but time would bring the two together. It always did unless the stupid villagers screwed somethig up.

This rabbit tho....This was like some twisted Child's Fantasy, oh well, time to see how far down the Rabbit hole truly goes, Yoko would follow the rabbit, moving at a jog pace to try and keep up with it, wanting to follow each and every turn it makes, his eyes trying to stay open for it, meanwhile, Yoko used the time to examine the shrubbry, it was nice studies for that wood release he was trying to unlock within himself, damn thing was stubborn though, Anyways he would still be jogging as he kept everything on alert and himself prepared, Chakra Sensory, his Experience fighting hearing, He was all prepared, but the shrubbry was nice tho, Although it looked like in the Hedge, was White roses that had been painted?... And Red of all colors... why not just grow red roses? oh well, he followed anyways still

"I feel silly." Kiwoharu said, halfway through getting into the Cheshire outfit. Yet, if he wanted to continue his training, it would be necessary to put up with his leader's wishes. Cosplaying he was fine with, but he wasn't sure about certain ones. Once he was fully into it, he moved to the place that he was expected at. 'Uh. What were my lines again.' Oh, right, no lines. Just do catty things. He hopped up to the ceiling and made the special effect grin thing. Then whenever Fenn was visible, he stood upside down on the ceiling. Just kinda. Grinning there. Then vanished slowly. More special effects and stuff. And reappeared on a nearby wall as he continued. "The queen's been waiting. Wouldn't want your tea to get cold, would you?"

inevitably much to his dismay, as fenn turned the corner to meet Kiwo the area would be bathed in bright white light as two spotlights turned the atention on the cheshire cat. He performed his lines perfectly, causing Aios to give a nod of approval from her hidden position and once they were both fully in the corner the floor would rumble and shake for a second before raising up. It was an elevator of course, and a fairly expensive one. The kind that probably cost the village two weeks profits. thank god they got use out of it.

They would be raised up ten levels where in the edge maze would seem to end in a grand court yard. "so close...." Aios whispered to no one in general. If the boy walked in, and after any interaction between Kiwo and the newcomer the light would shift to around eleven men in strange card outfits singing an odd tune

"were painting the roses red,
Yes painting the roses red...." They would continue until the songs finish giving the behind the scenes crew time to get their cheshire cat out through a small secret passage way that would lead him to the next place. Past the card men the hedge maze would seem to continue, though the floor two steps in would fall out dropping the boy down to the sixth floor through an odd dirt hole like cavern. you know the drill boys, we've spared no expenses.... Let the show go on.

'What an odd thing to say' Yoko would think as the cat spoke... Wait a minute...THE CAT SPOKE! and before he could say anything he was blinded by some sort of light, he would quickly stumble backwards into a corner, suddenly he was being lifted into the air! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT!, and with a lurching stop, Yoko would stumble forward and land on all fours, his head down for a moment, that was an experience an a half... then as he looked up he saw the card soilders...okay what the hell kind of fucked up loony toon land did he go to... He would stand up and brush his white cloths off, sadly his knees were stained green now, then the song he could hear it... they were Painting the Roses Red... well that was problematic, might want to let them know its not sticking so well, to much water in the paint, though it made beautiful red tints and streaks in the white peddles, these would be the roses he would design his own after when he learned that blasted element.

He would walked past the Cards, Not wanting to bother them...then he heard it a humming sound... it was familiar...and clos...wait a minute HE WAS HUMMING THE DAMN SONG THE CARDS WERE SINGING!... Must be going crazy already, but it was such a catchy tune, He would continue to head in that general direction with no idea where he was going, but it was a nice distraction after the recent tragedy, damn his ADD he cant keep his mind on track with why he was here anymore at this moment, he was just taking in the scenery mostly now.

So much happened in just two steps, then BLAM Another thing happened, he fell through a trap door, and landed on his feet, bending at the knees and then catching himself with his hands, that was not fun at all, Now his white suit was looking more brown, and he started humming another song as he walked down the Tunnel he seemed to be in him...Hm Hmmmmmmm Hm Hmmmmm... Hm hm...Hm Hm.. Hmm Hm Hm hm hm hm... Hm HmHm Hm Hm HmHm Hm...Damn Dwarves

Luckily by the time the songs were finished, he was already out of range to hear them. The secret passage let him go down to the next place without dropping down. And then he stood on the ceiling again, to deliver his next lines. "And you've taken another tumble down the rabbit hole. Not too much further now!" He said, grinning with the special effect things. Learning to be in character like this was something he might apply elsewhere if necessary. That, or just cosplay some more.

The tunnel would continue for about twenty meters before opening up in an enormous tea room seemingly the size of giants. As fenn entered the sound of glass rolling agianst tile could be heard, most likely the empty bottle that was dropped from seemingly no where to roll in front of him. On the label it said "drink me" At the end of the hall was a large gold door who's knocker looked down at them smiling big. "Welcome! not much further now... But the cat said that"


Damn it. This was the integral point and they screwed it up. From Aios' secret perch she cringed, shaking her head. Damn that butler. He couldn't do anything right. "Cheese it. Prepare the last trapped door. " With a nod the chikamatsu puppet greg nodded slipping into the maze as Fenn looked around. Kiwo would be once more ushered out, this time into the meeting area where he would see aios wearing a rather rediculous suit with an enormously over sized hat adorned with a white bit of parchment that read "10/6".

"Excelent job Kiwo. He'll be joining us shortly. Now switch costumes for me. I'll need you in the mouse costume and then get into this sugar dish. " On the table was a large sugar dish that looked just big enough for him to fit into in the center of an enormous wooden table. Her plan was going perfect.... Now for the finishing touches.

He followed on the ceiling at first, staying quiet and on all fours for stealth. Once the door kind of messed up the line, he was ushered out into the meeting area. "Very well." He said, not giving a hint of dismay. This one was easy if he remembered right. Sit in the dish, get stuffed into a teapot. Or something. He quickly switched costumes out of sight before getting into the sugar dish. At least this felt fun, somehow.

That damn cat again...Speaking...Wait not far? from what? He would appear in the room and the bottle that rolled in front of him, the door speaking to him, wait repeating what the cat said? ok what the hell was going on, someone was poorly rehearsed, Well he read the Bottle, Drink me... First he would look around to see if he saw anything else, if not then he would do as the bottle said and he would drink like half the bottle before he stopped and waited to see what would happen... that Cat and this door was still bugging him though, how could they both speak, and that cat how can it get around so quickly, man this was so confusing right now he didn't know what to think at the moment, he was just going with the flow of things at this point.
