❄ Don't Look Back ❄

[Jenni Deer]

This RP is between Valbjorn and me.  

[Jenni Deer]

Blue eyes searched over the area as she paused for a moment, listening. This part of the forest hasn't been touched yet and it helped her give some relief. It wasn't just that, her hearing and Theo's expertise, they were rarely caught off guard. Suna fell few months ago and they had been traveling and on the run from UHV. Due to this, they had been discussing for weeks of who to send the children.

With a soft and sad smile, the white-haired female glanced back towards Shukenja who was carrying two precious cargo. One belonged to Theo and the other belonged to herself. Golden blonde hair, rather short for the time being and her hand twitched at Shukenja's mane. Theo helped Hakanai make a makeshift saddle for the children so they can sleep on the warm purring massive beast. Behind the small girl was even a smaller boy, who looks exactly like Theo. Droll out of the boy's mouth from the hard crash of sandman's sand and onto her daughter's back.

Then her eyes glanced towards the very man she had became friends with. He was her mentor, helped her through anger, becoming hearing, and becoming a mother. His wife was one of her friends before... she passed from childbirth. She missed Suna already, they welcomed her with open arms when Kumogakure was going down due to Kaileer missing and she was wanting to see Sonyo but sadly, the fall of Suna didn't happen long after that but she was grateful to have friends and family. Everyone went their separate ways. She was glad to be able to separate with Theo, though part of her wonder if he did it because of Theodred and Himawari. They loved each other as siblings and Hakanai loves that boy as if he was her own. Part of her wished that Himawari looked more like her than the sperm donor, but at least they had the same eyes. To her, that was enough.

"I'm still not entirely convinced..." Hakanai started, getting Theo's attention, "Now I'm not saying I don't trust you, it's just... putting my daughter's life at someone else hands. Someone I don't even know. Can you talk to me more about this... Mas-a-hiro ... Right? That's his name?" She questioned him. Her heart felt like there were rocks in it. The idea of having to send her daughter away if it came to it made her bones cold. There was a massive thick trunk of tree in the way so Hakanai summoned up some ice to make an upward and downward ramp for Shukenja so he wouldn't have to hop over it and wake up the kids.  

[Valbjorn]

mad Walking alongside Hakanai and Shu through the forest, Theo would scan the area around them for signs of being pursued or an upcoming ambush, while occasionally shifting slightly into sage mode to sense for danger farther than he could see or hear. He hated having to think about it, but he had a feeling they might have to send the kids away for their own safety. Theo having been a high level Suna ANBU operative, not to mention family to the village’s leadership, he was likely a prime target for capture. When Hakanai mentioned not being convinced, Theo gave her a sort of sad, but calm look.

“I don’t like the idea of sending the kids away any more than you do... but Masahiro is family. He’s my mom’s cousin... a former Hokage,and probably one of the best sealers and swordsmen I’ve met.” Theo would draw his sword quickly to slash through some hanging brush in their way as Hakanai made the ice ramp for Shu and the kids before quickly resheathing it to keep walking. “Masa can be kind of an a*****e at times, but family is important to him as much as it is to me, or mom.” As stoic as he was generally, Theo’s heart was silently breaking at the thought of sending the kids off. He trusted his older cousin, but to not be able to see his son, to be able to protect the young boy himself if things went sideways, mentally killed him. mad mad  

[Jenni Deer]

Hakanai flinched softly when Theo looked at her sadly when she had mentioned she was still not convinced. Maybe that was the wrong word? She was a mother after all and sending her daughter away to someone she doesn't even know had made her nervous. It was then that Hakanai started to do slow breaths, something Theo had taught her. Shukenja went up to her side and nuzzled into her arm as Hakanai smiled and petted Shukenja. Theo and herself had an argument a few weeks ago. Originally, the idea was to send the kids AND her while Theo stayed behind.

Then she brought up that she would still be hunted. As of now, they don't know that Theo has a child so he would be safe. Hakanai? She wasn't that well known but she could still potentially be captured, they weren't going to leave any loose ends to those that might have access to the VOID. After days of heated debate, Hakanai won the argument.

Which was rare.

No one ever wins an argument from Theo, the Flying Thunder God. Thinking of that made her smile just a little. Speaking of which, he explained that Masahiro was family as she paused for a moment. Hakanai didn't have any living relatives except Sonyo. She does wish she could send the kids to Sonyo but as of now, they aren't sure if she was even alive or not while they know for sure that Masahiro was. Sonyo. Gods, Hakanai hope she was safe. To lose someone you love during the fall of Suna.... Hakanai knows the feeling of heartbreak. Her daughter was keeping her alive and kicking. Though... between the heartbreak and before finding out she was pregnant, Hakanai was wild. Feral. Gave no shits and no ********. Shukenja was in on it too, feeling his friend's pain. Then when she got pregnant, it was like a switch in her head flipped, she went to Suna for safety.

And they provided. She misses them so much but she has to keep alive for her brother from another mother, Theo, his sweet stubborn (Is it possible for a child to be more stubborn than Theo?) boy, and her own sunflower.

Please be alive Sonyo. It hurts, but we got this.' Why send the kids to someone that you don't know if they are alive and risk the kids more? Best seals and swordsmen. Seals... yes. He would be good to protect the children. She just hopes that he's not TOO family orientated to turn away her daughter and only take Theodred cause of blood. With a soft sigh, she stopped for a moment in the trail and gently ran her fingers through her daughter's head and gave her a kiss on the head. She wanted to wake her up, pick her up, and hear her laughter again. But it was best for them to sleep. She too, gave Theodred a kiss on the head before removing herself from them. Both of them were cold. Nothing new. Such Hyouton babies.

Hakanai chuckled at the part about Masahiro might be an a*****e at times, "So assholes run in the family huh?" She said with amusement, her eyebrows rose as she continued to walk up to Theo, her hand rested on his arm, her hand would be cold to the touch. She was a Hyouton user herself. "They will be okay. That's what's important. You already placed the seal on them weeks ago." Then she took in a deep breath and let out an exhale. "You're right. Mas-a-hiro is our best bet." Hakanai seemed to struggle with his name a bit. After all, she was deaf most of her life so speech came in a bit hard for her. She had developed well and sometimes over-enunciating. "This looks like a good place to stop, what do you think? We have many escapes here." Here was basically just a bunch of trees but at least there were no dead ends or walls to corner them more. "Ready for us to do the usual?" Hakanai questioned him.

The usual consist of Theo putting up a quick protection system while he surveys the area and set up traps in the inner circle to give them the advantage if they had to run. Meanwhile, Hakanai would place the kids together in the center of their imaginary circle and remove the saddle from Shukenja. When he returns, then Hakanai and Shukenja would go hunting food while Theo strengthens the barrier of where they were going to stay. While hunting, Hakanai and Shukenja would set up traps on the outer circle. Often, Hakanai and Shukenja would get food that they can eat without starting a fire or use a Jutsu for quick cooking. Theo would stay with the children and put up protection sealing/barrier systems since that was not Hakanai's strength. Aggression and pure raw power was more of her strength. Well, hers and Shukenja's.  

[Valbjorn]

Theo couldn’t help but chuckle slightly at Hakanai’s comment about assholes running in his family. “Yea, I guess you could say that, but at least we care about and do our best to protect those we consider our own...” Theo would trail off as his mind wandered to the family he’d had in Suna before the fall. His parents, his old comrades, all of them were family to him. And he had lost them all, far as he knew, in the battle that caused the destruction of his home. Holding back the pain for now, a single tear would roll from the big man’s left eye before freezing on his cold skin.

As Hakanai mentioned that they’d found a decent spot to camp for the night, Theo looked around and nodded. “Yea, you work on getting the camp set up and the kids settled in, I’ll get started on our defenses.” He would then backtrack about 200 yards and start breaking branches and twigs to make it look like they had turned in their path before facing back towards their camp and exhaling a gust of wind low to the ground to blow away the tracks of the 2 adults and the large cat hybrid. Once the tracks were taken care of, Theo would go about the woods on the perimeter of the camp building snare traps and wire nets, mentally mapping the area as he went so he could give Hakanai the knowledge of where everything was so that she could avoid triggering their own traps. Once he had done a lap around the camp, he moved another 50 yards towards the camp and started drawing barrier seals into trees , to create a wall of chakra all around the camp site.

He’d then go around again linking chakra draining and stamina draining seals to the barriers. He’d also put up a few mirror clone seals up to distract would be attackers as well as a 5 point barrier seal so it would take an entire coordinated team to get anywhere near them. With that done, he would take to the air and fly back to the camp, landing a few yards from his friend. “Alright, I got a double layer perimeter put up, one with all sorts of sealing traps and barriers 150 yards out and physical snare and wire net traps 50 yards out from that.” He’d reach out and tap Hakanai on the forehead, transferring his knowledge of where everything was. “There, that way you know where everything is as well as I do.”  

[Jenni Deer]

Hakanai was going to comment about the frozen tear but she remained quiet. Theo left as Shukenja gently laid down on his belly and waited. He didn't mind carrying them, both of them were cold so they were actually helping the massive cat stay nice and cool. Once she removed the children, they started to stir as she removed the saddle. Shukenja plopped onto the side and went off to take the little short nap he had.

Hakanai made a circle around them as the kids were now stretching and yawning. With that, Theodred giggled as he ran towards Hakanai and hugged her. Hakanai leaned down and picked him up as she hugged back at him and blew raspberries into his stomach. Theodred covered his mouth as he laughed louder but thank the trees, the sounds would be lost fast. Hakanai heard whining as she glanced down and saw Hima, "Oh I'm sorry little sunflower." She said with a smile as she sat down and cuddled both of the children. Summon up a knapsack by using the sealing, she removed the toys one by one. The toys were wooden or straws so they would be quiet while playing. Theodred immediately went for the more 'tough toys' which was the shape of daggers, warrior men, and started to use another straw doll to fight. Himawari, however, had to be maintained. Himawari definitely has ADHD but due to the traveling.. they had to help her stay calm. To be quiet. Hakanai hated it, she wanted Himawari to learn naturally but right now, they didn't have a choice. Himawari, calm and definitely a zombie, laid on her back as she glanced up at the sky, daydreaming and making shapes with her fingers in the air as Theodred played silently by her. The children are so amazing. How well and easily they adapted to this. Once Theo landed by her, Hakanai was on her feet, kunai drew as she sighed and glared at Theo before giving him an angry cat hiss. Placed it back, she heard him as she saw mentally while nodding. "Come on Shukenja"

Shukenja opened an eye as he gets up and stretches, every joint in his body was popping as Hakanai gave him information to where the traps were. "We'll be back!" Hakanai said as she and Shukenja left

Theodred was excited, he motioned for his dad to come to sit by him and play with him. Himawari on the other hand saw something. They have an inner circle and she knows the rules. With a frown, she got up and walked to the line as she puzzled and was in deep thought. Aha! They say they must stay in line but they didn't say that all body parts have to stay in line! With a small giggle, she got the ground, crawled her body towards the flower as her foot stay in line, "I'm staying in line Uncle Theo! I swear!" She said as she reached over to get the pretty flower.  

[Valbjorn]

Nodding to Hakanai and Shukenja as they got themselves read and headed off for their part of the patrol and set up for their camp, Theo would look around at the kids as they played. Smiling sadly to himself, he couldn’t help but think of how wrong this all was. R’These kids shouldn’t be being hauled through the woods all day, having to miss time with one of their parents while they’re going nuts building defensive perimeters just to get a decent night’s sleep... They should be in the safety of a town or village, surrounded by family that love and care for them. They should be able to actually have a normal childhood...’ At that, Theo thought about how he hadn’t really had a childhood either. Forced to grow into his late teens quickly to be the village’s ultimate weapon, he had only ever really known war and training for war. And soon as that wasn’t the prime focus, he was running through the damned woods trying to avoid capture by the organization that he’d been fighting his whole damn life.

Realizing Theodred was waving him over to play, the big man walked over and knelt down beside the boy that was likely a mirror image of what he looked like before his dad had given him the medicine to make him mature. “What’s up buddy? What do you wanna play?” He’d then scan the campsite when he heard Himawari’s voice and spot her trying to be a smartass by keeping her foot within the kids boundary while the rest of her crawled out to reach.... a flower? Calling to her, “Hima, get back inside you kids’ circle!” He would then focus a tiny bit of chakra and curl his index finger on his right hand in a come here motion as a small whirlwind would form under Himawari and carry her back to the middle of the camp where he and Theodred were. “Hold on, little one... I can get the flower for you.” Theo would chuckle slightly before flicking his hand at the flower. Hima would see a small blade of wind cut through the stem of the flower near the ground before another tinier wave of wind lifted the flower off the ground and brought it to land in Hima’s lap. Making a shadow clone real quick, Theo would have it sit with Hima, both to keep her out of trouble, and to help entertain her by making different shapes and effects with his ice and other elements as the original turned back to his son.  

[Jenni Deer]

Similiar to Theo, after all, she was trained by him as she covered up their tracks and make up makeshift ones. Setting up traps of her bloodline and random bomb tags here and there. Shukenja, meanwhile, was further away and looking for food. It was then that she smelled blood so she followed it and saw that Shukenja got a kill. Sealing the rabbits into the scroll and clean up the mess so they wouldn't be found.

Theodred, happy and thrilled to have his father by him to play as he talked softly, his voice rather quiet as he pretends that they were rescuing some farm animals from the big mean wolves by using the toys. "You pretend to be chik'ens and I'll be the wolves! Then farmers will be us and we save the chik'ens!" Theodred said with a smile, his speech wasn't well yet but he was doing good for his age.

Hima whined as she heard Theo telling her to get back inside the circle as she paused, considering if she should listen or not. But then the wind appear as she whined a bit more, her hands at grabbing motion to wanting to get the pretty flower. Her arms crossed as she started to pout a little but she didn't cry. She knows crying was loud and she felt a bit tired from the medicine her mom had been giving her. Then she hopped up and down with excitement as the flower appeared by her and Theo made a clone self. Together, they worked on ice Jutsu as Himawari giggled, using one of them as the flower froze rather pretty. The ice crystals around it gave it rather beautiful glisten.

Theodred, took notice of Hima's abilities as he got jealous. With an angry pout and cross of his arms, his emotions conjured up a tiny little cloud above his head as the thunder slightly rumbled inside the dark gray cloud.  

[Valbjorn]

Original: Theo would listen to his son explain what he wanted to do, smiling softly to himself as he thought through what the boy said, working to decipher the slightly jumbled speech of the 5 year old. Nodding slowly as he thought he’d gotten everything figured out, Theo would take the toys his son handed him and have a few of them kinda hop and peck around as he made some quiet clucking noises, pretending to be a chicken. When he noticed little Theodred was watching his clone with Hima and pouting grumpily about not being as good with manipulating chakra and ice and stuff as the older Hima was, Theo would chuckle slightly and ruffle the boy’s hair. “It’s ok, buddy... you’ll get to do the kind of stuff Himawari can, and probably more judging by that little storm cloud that just formed above your head. Hima is just older, she’s had more time to practice is all.” Theo would flick his fingers and water would condense in his hand and form little ice chickens to add to their game. He’d then do it again and black storm clouds would form and condense into wolves. “See? You’ll be able to do the same things I can eventually! Just need to be patient and practice.” Theo would give the young boy a smile before breathing a cloud of chakra over the elemental figurines, causing them to suddenly come to life. The wolves barked and snarled silently at the ice chickens as they silently clucked and pecked around in the grass. “Now, how bout we save these chickens from some scary wolves?”

Clone: Watching as Hima made the flower of ice, Theo smiled, “Nice one,Hima... You’re getting better!” Theo would then exhale as he made some water condense and freeze between his hands as tiny ice and cloud butterflies fluttered from his hands to swirl around Himawari, an ice one landing on the tip of her nose as one made of storm cloud hovered above her hair, the static making some hairs raise slightly. Theo would lean over and give Hima a quick kiss on the forehead, brushing the storm butterfly away for a second. “I’m sorry we have to live like this, I wish your mom and I didn’t have to keep you from running and playing freely in the woods. It’s just not safe with these bad guys chasing me and your mommy. Hopefully soon we’ll find a quiet place where they can’t find us and be able to do whatever we want again!” Theo tried to end on a cheery note as he would hold up his hand, an intricate sunflower forming from a combination of ice and lightning between his fingers so that the lightning shown from inside the ice flower. He’d give the flower to Hima, manipulating the icy stem to braid it into her hair.  

[Jenni Deer]

While his father was playing with him, it was like everything didn't exist. His dad was there and he was having fun playing as he growled like a wolf. Once the jealously kicked in and the cloud appeared, he heard his father speak as he glanced up towards him. "Wanna be older." Was all he said. He wanted to be older! Be strong like his dad! "Be strong as daddy!" Then he blinked at his father in confusion. Glanced up and saw the cloud as he giggled and the cloud disperse away, which caused him to slightly pout. It was then, the little ice chickens appeared along with black storm clouds of wolves. Oh! This was going to be fun! Like a child, he completely forgot of his jealously with Hima as he got up to play. "Yea!" He said to his father in regards to playing.

Hima giggled as she was complimented that she was getting better, "I try! Wanna be like momma and you!" She smiled at him, a front tooth was missing. The adult teeth haven't grown in yet. Hima was in awed at the ice and cloud butterflies as she smiled and added little tails to the butterflies, so where they flew, there were ice crystals of their trails. Hima smiled and giggled as she got the kiss on the forehead and wrapped her arms around his neck into a hug. Hima tilted her head and played with his shirt collar as he started to apologize and smiled. "It's okay! Momma said bad things just happen. We have to make the best of it!" She smiled as the sunflower was on her ear and being braid into her hair. With that, she squirmed to get down and got down as she oooh and ahh'ed at his work. With that, the blonde female ran up to Theodred, "Can I help?" She questioned. Theodred glanced at her for a moment and then happily nodded. With that, Hima smiled as she made an ice cape for Theodred with an awesome ice dagger. She too, made one for herself as they proceeded to kill the wolves and save the chickens together.

Hakanai and Shukenja returned. Shukenja laid down and went to sleep since he would always take the second shift. Being a cat, wake during the night was not an issue for him. Besides, he already ate some raw rabbits earlier. Hakanai smiled at the scene then sighed. Sometimes she wonders if she was being too selfish. They could go ahead and send the kids.. but she wanted her daughter right by her. To know that she was safe. And secured. Part of her wonder if Theo felt the same. Perhaps he did, or he would've already sent their kids ahead to Masahiro with them catching up later. "I'm ready," Hakanai said squatting down by Shukenja as she placed one of her hands onto Shukenja who woke up for a moment for this. With the five of them, they would use the chakra to make an insanely strong ice dome for them to sleep and rest in. Himawari, took note of this as she giggled with Theodred and pulled him as Hima took her mother's hand and held it tight. Theodred hands reach for Theo.  

[Valbjorn]

Theo nodded along with Theodred as he talked about how he wanted to be older and stronger. “I know, buddy... you’ll get there, its just gonna take time and training.” He’d smile and get ready to fight off the storm wolves with his little wooden knife until Hima Asked if she could join and made ice knives for Theodred and herself. It was then that he noticed Hakanai and Shukenja were back and walked over to Hakanai.

When she said she was ready, Theodin nodded, reaching out to take Theodred’s hand as the group all held hands to focus their chakra together, Though he and Hakanai were the primary chakra source for the technique. Flying through the hand seals with his free hand, Theo would finish quickly and then place his palm on the ground, dropping to one knee as he bent down. Chakra would surge through the earth and spread out to the perimeter of their camp before rising as massive walls of ice, gently curving upwards to form a large dome. Suddenly the temperature within the camp dropped to near freezing. Thankfully they were all hyouton users and had no problem dealing with cold and ice.  

[Jenni Deer]

Hakanai felt the energy drain and watched as Theodred and Himawari's abilities were fading away. The ice swords and the capes evaporated into nothing. She knows she can trust Theodin to drain the right amount. Sure enough, as he was done, she felt the chill as she exhaled slowly, her breath not being seen. They were Hyoutons after all. Himawari yawned softly as she rubbed her eyes while Theodred whined and wrapped his arms on the already kneeling Theo and wanted to go to sleep. Hakanai used her chakra to unseal one of the scrolls and a comfortable bed of furs appeared. Shukenja was already had his back up against the ice dome to stay cool and was snoring away. Not loud, it was more like a soft and deep rumble.

Hakanai knows that her shift was first. It always was because they did test it a few times. Hakanai did not do well with the second and morning shift, so they all were relieved when their strengths were matched. Theo was the morning shift. Shukenja, perfect for his nature, would take the second shift. Which was one of the reasons why he was already asleep. Hakanai placed Himawari on her side of the bed, usually, the kids sleep in the middle with Theo and herself on the outside, more for protection reasons. She laid down by Himawari who was slowly falling asleep as she helped Theo and Theodrin get adjusted for their nights of sleep too. "Good night Theodred." She kissed little Theo's forehead. "Good night, Himawari." She kissed Himawari's forehead as she nodded in acknowledgment to Theodin to show that she was okay and can do this shift no problem whatsoever. Before he falls asleep, she placed her index finger onto Theodin's forehead, so he too can know where the traps are if they had to get out as soon as possible.

Hakanai felt bad that this was how they were getting away. By siphoning off the kids to keep them calm and quiet during this moment. Hakanai watched as her daughter was sleeping. Her fingers went through the child's golden locks as she kissed her on the forehead. Himawari squirmed slightly in her sleep but she was still sleeping.

Hakanai felt selfish. To keep her child here, close to her, instead of sending them away now.

But damn it all. At this time being, she was being selfish. Once the two of them were deep asleep and the other two, alert but 'asleep', Hakanai got up and placed concealment jutsu onto the ice dome so they wouldn't find it if they happen to fly overhead.  

[Valbjorn]

Theodin would help Hakanai with the final prep for sleep and getting the kids into bed before nodding to her when she used the jutsu to show him where all her traps were. “Alright, of course wake me if anything happens...” with that, Theo would climb into bed and drift off to sleep.

*dream* Theo looked around, the sirens were sounding. The village was under attack. Wait, the village? It fell years ago... was this a dream? Or was everything he remembered from before the dream...? Not having time to think on it, the jounin burst into action, taking to the sky to get a better view of the layout of the attack. “********... UHV... again... “ he’d say to himself as he saw his parents, Kaori, Nari, Sonyo, Hakanai, and everyone else he knew rush towards the Crevice. Suddenly he’d hear an explosion from within the walls and soldiers and tanks would pour into the village from all around. With everyone preparing to defend the gates, most of the village was helpless.finally reacting, Theo’s hands started moving wildly through hand seals on each hand, throwing out attack after attack at the invading force. But nothing was happening, his ninjutsu was just dissipating as it got within a few feet of the tanks on the vanguard. “s**t... did they figure out a way to put their chakra dispersing tech from the headquarters into their artillery?” He thought, before trying to call to his family and comrades, realizing nothing he said made any noise other than in his head. He would continue throwing bombs at the invaders, hoping to overwhelm whatever was powering the shields, but to not avail. He heard his friends and family cheering as they crushed the decoy force at the gates, still not knowing of the flanking maneuver. After a few hours of raining hell on these invaders with no luck, Theo was running low on chakra. He needed to save as many friends as possible.adding Shu shin to his flight, he would bolt towards where he heard his parents fighting, only to hear them yell and the area crumble nearby. He’d soar towards Nari and Sonyo... similar thing . Flying towards the roars he recognized as Nova and Kaori, he’d hear another explosion, a scream, then quiet again except for the rolling thunder of battle. Finally he rushed as fast as he could towards Hakanai, he couldn’t lose her too, he couldn’t face Himawari and explain that. Finally having her in sight, he would swoop down and scoop her into the air, placing a flight jutsu on Shukenja to drag the big cat along too. “They circled around behind us, these tanks seem immune to chakra, a similar shield to their HQ... the Village as fallen.” As he landed outside the range of sight of Suna, he slapped the ground with both hands, summoning Himawari with one, and emergency gear for all of them with the other. “We got what we need, we need to get out of here quick.” He’d say to his friend and her daughter hurriedly before- *end dream*

Theo would bolt upright in bed, breathing heavily and sweating profusely, which was weird given they were in an ice dome. He’d look around and confirm he was where he thought he should be. “Just that ******** dream again....” he’d whisper to himself as he looked around. Hakanai was asleep, so Shukenja was on watch. He would look towards the large cat hybrid, “doing ok over there, Shu? How long til it’s my watch?”  

[Jenni Deer]

Hakanai woke up Shukenja when it was his turn as she cuddled up to Hima but made sure she was in the right position to get up right away if she had to. With a deep sigh, she closed her eyelids and attempted to sleep as Shukenja was now awake. Getting up, he stretched, his muscles loosen up as the joints in his bone started to pop slightly. With a yawn, he wished he could go out and hunt, to be wild and carefree but first, they had to get to safety. Shukenja noticed an increase of heartbeat as he glanced the four humans before him, pinpointing that it was coming from Theo. With that, he used his massive head and gently pushed Theodred towards Hima as he wrapped his arms around Hima. Hakanai instinctively placed her arms on the two kids. With that, Shukenja used his upper body like a heavy blanket and rested on Theo, purring gently to soothe him.

Not long after, Theo woken up and spoke to him. He let out a grunt sound as he removed himself from Theo, plopping onto the side. "Not for another hour but it's yours," he said rather lazily. Despite seemingly lazy, he was actually a hard worker, something he had proven time and time again. Just as fast and quick, the explosions were heard and they were closer and closer. Hakanai jumped onto her feet, the children now awake and alert along with Shukenja. "So fast! how are they-"Before she could even finish her sentence, they were attacking the dome. Knowing that they had no time, her heart was ripped. Torn to shreds. Grabbed her fur cloak, she dropped it over Himawari, "Be good. Take your grandmother's maiden name, Hima." More explosions. No. This can't be happening. "The dome is giving away!" Shukenja growled. She kissed her daughter's forehead, so much protection could be felt in the kiss. "Be good. Protect Theodred." Hakanai was doing all she can not cry. Let her fingers be ripped apart and put back together. Let her be stabbed at the nerves over and over. Let her have chronic pain where she's crippled for the rest of the life and screaming all day. Let her suffer burns every single day. Or cuts. Anything.

Anything but this.  

[Valbjorn]

At the sound of the explosions, Theodin would jump out of bed and look towards Hakanai, “how the hell...? With all the traps and seals we put up... ********.... they must have brought either a high level sealer or chakra dispersal tech...” Theo took a deep breath to think through what was happening before flying into action. Scooping Theodred up out of bed, he would carry the young boy over to where Hakanai and Himawari were. Kneeling in front of Hima, Theo would give his young son a tight hug, “I love you, Theodred... Your cousin Masahiro will look after you til I can come find you. Stick with Hima.” He’d then look to Himawari, “Hima, I need you to look after Theodred, okay? My cousin Masahiro should be where I’m sending you guys.” Theodin would pull his Suna headband off of his forehead and tie it around Theodred’s right arm, a message was carved into the inside of the metal plate for Masa just in case he had needed to send the kids off. Placing Theodred into Himawari’s lap, Theo would give the kids a serious look with a sad smile, “I’m really sorry we have to do this... but I need you to be strong... for us” Theo would then reach out and tap the kids on the shoulder, causing into them to poof from the dome.

Tears streaming down his face, he had barely been holding them back before sending the kids, Theodin looked to Hakanai. “We need to do our best to survive this... for the kids sakes... but however this ends,” Theodin would take a slow deep breath, black lightning crackling in his blue and green eyes as well as around his hands, “these ******** are gonna feel our pain a thousand fold in the meantime...” Theo would grab his staff, Blitzstrahl and get ready to fight. With a growl in his voice as he forced all the sadness and fear to turn to anger, he’d call to Hakanai, “These people destroyed our home, killed our family and friends, forced us to send our children away... show them no mercy. No holding back!” He would then get ready and watch the walls of the dome, preparing for combat.
