The profits of recent discoveries.

Cyrus stayed at the back, he wanted to listen more than speak. "How does it feel bein Raikage"Cyrus says as he thought of his bro.

"you cannot be that foolish Metaru as a kage and a clan leader I cant let you come to a sacred ground as an akatsuki then just walk away" Kitaro said without a change in pitch but a slight alteration of volume as the sentence went on

"Well, if accusations is the name of the game. He invited me," Metaru jerked his thumb back at Ki, "so unless you plan on eating me before your soup, I'm pulling the entrapment card."

Metaru took another few steps forward, sipping his soup tentatively.

ki smiled and put up his hand as if to high five. "guilty."

Kitaro laughed a true natural laugh "dont worry Metaru you can leave but under 2 conditions. One you cannot bring anyone here ever and two you cannot discuss what went on here with anyone" Kitaro spoke as he stared off into space

Metaru smiled,

"Unless you're smuggling Bijuu through these tunnels, we won't have a problem. Oh, and am I allowed coming back?" He looked around longingly at his newest favorite hangout.

"only if invited you are not a clan friend as of now you are only known by the clan" Kitaro said still staring off

Metaru laughed again, "What, and me and you aren't friend Ki?" he patted the kage on the shoulder as he passed, careful not to touch his skin.

ki laughed. "eh, even though i treat you with respect. you are my aquantace untill you show sighn convincing me otherwise. plus, i like to make friends."

"just wait until you are invited if you are invited back in the first place" Kitaro said as he continued to stare off at the wall

"Fair enough." metaru took a final sip of his soup witha short wave, then stopped at the door.

"Um... how do I get out of here?"

ki laughed. he blinded metaru for a second and a moment later he smelled electricity. he opend his eyes and he was outside after the storm. "just dont use any metal...."

Kitaro stood up and grabbed a hold of Metaru holding his gaze on the ground the whole motion he then teleported him out of the cave into the wet land outside "now listen to me" Kitaro spoke now looking Metaru in the eyes "ill give you 1 more free visit to a willow place just because but you better make it count where you choose because otherwise you will not be invited back" Kitaro smiled a bit but held Metaru's gaze

Metaru looked into Kitaro's eyes, all comedy having passed.

"Eh, I can honor that." he then started walking off, shouting back to Kitaro from the distance. "And I thought you were going to say something important!"

"you can learn to expect less from me than something of importance rather than warning" Kitaro spoke loudly but didn really care if Metaru heard as he teleported away send Ki a quick thought that he was leaving

ki noted the thought and akknowleged it.
