"I'll ask again." Kiba says as the dragon takes off with a single strong kick from the ground, soraing high over the village, heading for the massive palace in the center. "How do you know the Akatsuki?"

At the moment of lift off Dante found himself once more lost in this new world. He awareness through the movement of air had remained active, but with the almost constant winds that seemed to be generated by both their own path, and the path of the dragon's wings, through the air his ability to perceive detail fell dismally short of its original mark. Nevertheless he had always taken pride in his own ability to adapt to the situation at hand, and it was not long before he had worked out the new, more distorted patterns that his jutsu generated around him.
It was around that time, to be more precise around when Dante settled back to enjoy his latest handiwork in relative silence, that Kiba presented a question that Dante could only partial recall ever being asked. "The Akatsuki," he murmured as his hands drifted to the kunai he had never had the chance to put away, "They began to move when I entered the ninja world... Everyone knew about them, or at least about something out there like them." Here he paused, seemingly lost in the memory, or at least trying to pinpoint the details. The fact however was a bit less deep, which made sense considering Dante really didn't have any great level of depth in his concern for things in the world at large, he was in fact too preoccupied spinning the kunai through the air in intricate patterns to continue his train of thought.
"I guess I knew more because of who I am," He finally continued as the blade fell into a more constant rotation, "few of the higher ups ever paid me much attention -- I was blind and that meant instantly that I was not able to understand such things -- I listened and heard more then they would ever have entrusted to me had I retained my sight." As he finished he let the kunai fly from the dragon off into the empty ravine below, the bubble of air around it acting like a third eye (had his original two worked) as it fell into the darkened abyss below. "And what's your story Jurei?" He inquired as he 'watched' the blade fall deeper and deeper into the darkness.

Jurei relaxed on the Dragons back awhile playing with his shuriken yo yo while listening into Dante's story, basically from the story he was now able to discern at least one thing, which now that he looked back made perfect sense while none at all. Somehow, someway, for some possible arbitrary reason, Jurei had become, for lack of a better term, a time traveler. The thought was there for a second but as he thought he realized that it didnt really impact him all that much, he just added it to things he'd have to say while introducing himself because as we all know "Im a time traveler" rolls so easily off the tongue
His ears perked up a little when Dante asked about his past. He shrugged and continued playing with his yo-yo "Im not much to behold like you, I failed my examination the first time I attempted it, after I passed I became a sunagakure genin and went on missions" He didnt bother saying anything about the reason why he messed up his first exam, or about being specialized in tactics, there was no point so why bring it up?"

Kiba was rather quiet for a while after the other two finished. Their encounters seemed so... Innocent compared to his. The silence was short though, because they were nearing their destination.
"Alright, listen up." He says to the other two with a very serious face. "Until we get into the Kage's office, you'll need to have your hands bound and look like you're weary from travelling a long way. Got it?"
The last words escaped Kiba's mouth as the dragon began its descent to the sort of landing pad on the roof.

((cause we seem to need a way to pull suits character into this I am going to do one of those horribly random things that I so hate to see abused in RPs... but it is for the plot, which is like it being for the lulz so it should be ok this time around))
Dante only really half heard the words of the suna genin. His focus was on the falling kunai, and his mind was busy with a series of rapid calculations that seemed almost second nature to him now. "three, four, five hundred feet," he muttered to himself as he estimated the depth of the chasm below. Every once in a while he could be found tilting his head towards Jurei he smiled and nodded, though it could be argued that the last few times were really unneeded as the other genin's story had ended soon after it began... that however was a fact lost to Dante for reasons far outside of his own control.
He would later say, in his own defense, that it had been around that moment that his falling kunai did indeed find the bottom of the chasm, and something else possibly more interesting then that, as well. His kunai had embedded itself within the soft folds of what Dante could only call a blanket, and while that was weird in and of itself, the occupant of the blanket puzzled the blind boy further -- what appeared to be a young, unconscious girl seemed to be the owner of the blanket in question. After a few moments of furious calculations Dante tilted his head towards his two companions once more. "Yeah, Yeah," he muttered, coincidentally just as Kiba finished his words of warning, "Do people fall out of the sky around here often. Cause there seems to be someone down there... unconscious."
((twas of poor quality but I am tired and it serves its purpose))

Jurei frowned, he did not take kindly to being tied up and gagged no matter what the circumstance. However he could in truth see that the man he was talking to wasnt one to do anything besides what was written in the book, it was a little boring to tell you the truth. He sighed and nodded his head "Sure whatever, just dont you dare touch my weapons, they are all very nice and organized at the moment."
Jurei then looked at Dante when he began seaking. "People just seem to be popping up everywhere..." Honestly, the world was being sickenly rude to him today and just it seemed to everyone in general. The sand ninja was ready to give up dealing with the thing when he realized falling off a dragon's back might not be the best or most fun way to die "Life is so rude, can we go a few minutes without being attacked, pushed down, trampled, or finding someone randomly in yonder pasture, yes I said yonder, deal with it"
