Rose woke with a start when Shiro's sister raced into the room laughing as there dog chased her. "Meh." she pouted.

Kai blinked awake."you okay?",he asked loosening his grip,then blinked not seeing Yuki anywhere.

"Fine." Rose smiled then blinked. "Where did Yuki go?"

Shiro woke glared at his sister then sat up when he didn't feel Yuki next to her.

Kai frowned."I dont know",he carefuly stood ."Yuki?!",he called out but didn't get a reposnse.

"YUKI!?" Shiro stood and started to look threw the house worried.

Kai frowned and growled."YUKI THIS ISNT FUNNY!",he scolded.

Rose searched outside in the snow. Her mother came to help them with Hinata who had been visiting.

Kai came outside."she has her coat,witch is a good thing",h said trying to keep calm."Ill take the roof tops",he said leaping up and started to run along the roof trying to spot her.

Rose and Shiro fought threw the snow calling for Yuki.

Kai frowned almost paicing,the heavy snow fall made it hard to track her.He eventually met up with Shiro and Rose."any luck?",he asked hopefully.



Yukina blinked as she woke up in the middle of a thick forest."Huh/???",she was standing there alone."how??",she tunred and tried searching for a clue,but didnt even see her foot prints."Did I sleep walk?",she asked softly

"Not yet." Rose was bundled tightly in winter cloths. "Lets spread out."

Shiro nodded bundled likewise and choose the path towards the forest.

Luce frowned ,he was supost to be protecting Rose,but they didnt have a choice.So nodding he headed fot the outer rim of the village

Yuki shivered and she tried to get her barrings."thi-this is a little creepy"

"Yuki." Shiro called struggling threw the snow shivering.

Rose took the other end of the village keeping inside the walls that kept people out.

Yuki blinked,she swore she could hear an echo."Shiro?",she said softly.And looked around.Then sighed shivereing more."h-how long was i out here?",she said adn started walking again.

As Rose took the other end,a few people leaped over the wal,one landing beside her,one in fron and the other behinde her,

Kai sighed as he ran along.He kept calling out for Miyu ,but was getting more worried when there wasnt a answer

"YUKI!" Shiro frowned thinking he had heard something and headed towards the sound.

Rose jumped and pulled her shurikan out. "Stay back." she warned.

The men grinned."fiesty",one said said pulling out a few ninja stars

The man beside her pulled out a smoke bomb."no wonder the boss wants her"

Yuki stumbeled a bit then stopped looking behinde her."SHIRO?!" she called out and shivered as the wind picked up.

Rose examined them and figured she could take them though she hoped Kia would show up. *please come.* she swallowed.

"Yuki!" Shiro blundered threw the snow and nearly ran into her "There you are." he bundled her into his coat holding her tight.

Just as one of the men lunged at her Kai came from out of no where kicking him into the wall hard enough to leave a small crator. "keep your hands off her",he said lowly

Yuki blinked a few times and stayed close to him."ho-how did i get her",she asked,thankful for his wramth

"Not sure." Shiro lead her back towards the house. "Lets get inside it's cold."

Rose blinked softly and attacked the other guy smiling a little.

Yuki nodded hugging him tighter."good idea",she said softly

Kia smield."now thease odds are more fair",he said calmly.

The one man dougded while the other lunged at Kai

Rose stabbed him with her shurikan. "Leave Kai alone." she glared at him.

Shiro brought her home and tucked her under a blanket and sat her near the fire.

Yuki shivered some but smiled for the warmth stayed close to him."so-sorry I pulled you out int that storm",she said smileing as she started to warm up.

Kai blinked when teh man Rose stabbed backed of."thanks love"

"Welcome." Rose smiled at him and took his hand squeezing it.

"It was nothing... Why were you out there anyways?" Shiro asked running his fingers over her arm.

Kai blinked."your frozen",he sighed as other Ninjas came nad took the men away."we....should get yo home,maybe Yuki's shown up by now"

Yuki shivered and kept in a sneeze as she moved closer to Shiro."No idea....i...i went to sleep on the couch the next thing i know i was standing in the middle of the forest"

"Odd." Shiro kept rubbing her arms to warm her up. "You think it could have been the tailed beast?"

Rose nodded and hurried back to the house. "Yuki!" she hugged the girl.
