The sun had shown through the mist reflection of its dew an light only to go into the waters around the edges of Kiri. It was a colder morning then usual as Penelope had been on her usual patrol of the area in her new clothing and carrying her usual equipment inside her pockets. Ever since she had left Ougi in that office she looked to his drawing book and wondered why someone would spend so much time on that still.
Her dark eyes searched through the mist as she felt her silken hair fall off her shoulder. It had been silient lately, a bit too quiet. Penelope had gone through the days morning for awhile rushing about through the edges next to the wall. Penelope stood still seeing a figure approach her cautiously due to what had happened the last few times. She looked to them quietly as she outstretched her hand to take what they 
had in their hand as she opened it reading over the information she was given. This wasnt good as she turned quickly upon burning the information she was given. She glared ahead of her as she now headed to the docks as fast as she could with her legs. Kicking off of one tree to another as she used her hook to propel herself forward. She moved quiet elegantly when she was determined as her pale body gathered the mist 
around her causing drops of dew upon her body as she was thinking almost in a panic. She had reached the docks with do time as she had to carefully choose which boat to board. She looked ahead to the waters as it was safe to cross for now. She climbed on board to a smaller boat to make sure it would be better for cover as well as speed. "We need to go now" she said softly as she tossed down a quarter of her lifes
savings to the boat attendant. They had only looked carefully at her but it wasnt her headband of the mist that bothered them it was the fact of what her markings where on her forehead. The boat driver was an elder gentlement who knew very well what she was but dared not to question her as he mad his way to signal the other two crew members they where setting off now. Penelope looked to the map he had of the local 
waterways as she tried to make more sense of things. She fallowed tracing her fingers carefully on the map to the direction of where they would be heading. She thought to herself on the where abouts of the last group was seen. She rubbed her eyes as she looked at the map then to the captain of the boat. "I know it will be a few days but give me notice if anything is out of the ordinary... you shall wait for my return
whenever we reach land next... we shall go here" she said pointing it out onto the map. Within a few days though the time with the crewmates had grown distant as she usually had. She sighed softly as she was either training herself in meditation or focusing herself in attempt to develope her chakra. Penelope looked to them as a storm had approached the boat. She wasn't happy about this as she rushed down to grasp one 
of the ropes tightly to keep ahold on its proper mask. "Go to the engine and make sure we have enough fuel!" she commanded as she stood there holding tightly as rain pelted down upon the small boat. Penelope spat up water as the waves motioned over the boat itself. It wasn't a happy journey as she had to use her dead bone pulse to nail the rope in place. She was dripping wet as she remained on the deck for the next few
days. 
Penelope had sighed heavily as she looked to the slow an upcoming land upon the sun that was setting into the hills. She threw up over the side as she was tired of eating fish, perhaps a bit of food poisoning. She didnt like seafood too much as she grumbled to herself. She pushed her hair back as she stood up slowly and looked to the land squinting her eyes. She would meet with one of the scouts here soon but hopefully 
the others would be alive as well. Penelope knew of the risks she was taking as she looked downwards. "Stop here and wait...I will return" she said as she dove over the edge of the ship and swam up to the shore. She was just under the waters edge as she resurfaced looking to the shore as she saw a tracker from Kiri awating for her. Penelope swam up to him as she pulled herself from the water and began to ring out her hair.
"Give me the report of what you know so far" she said as she listened to him speak. She crossed her arms as she listened to him carefully. Her eyes searched along the shoreline as the light reflected off of the water. She nodded as she began off of the direction with him north bound as she fallowed behind him to meet up with the other two trackers. She kept silent to herself as she looked ahead wondering what happened to
cause the scrolls to fall out of hands of the kiri ninja and into the rouges. She hand clentched her hands into fists as she punched it forward with her right slicing through a tree branch clean off its hold. The Kiri intel looked only slightly back in nervousness to then turn back around to his path curiously. She grinded her teeth a bit as she prepared herself and then rushed up to be beside him. She kept her eyes ahead.
Penelope still remained silent until the edges of Uzushiogakure began to appear but she stopped the kiri tracker beside her as the other two bodies of the other kiri ninja laid dead before her. She narrowed her eyes as she lowered herself to examine them closer as she looked for the signs of injury and removed what she could from them. She wouldnt allow this to get any further out of hand. "We need to be careful from this
point on... they probably know we are here..." she said softly in a low voice as he nodded to her. Penelope began her dead bone pulse as she removed a needle and sliced into her lower back breaking part of her spine and preformed Vine as she left it connected to herself as a new spine grew in place. Penelope had now an exposed bone tail as it swung loosely in place back an forth. "Not a word..." she hinted to the tracker.
He would simply nod as she lowered his head to the ground as she  began to crawl with him into the water as they now traveled by the waters edge through Uzushiogakure looking upon its destruction and for signs of the rouges. 
 Penelope began to motion through the water with him as they made their way through almost all of the city. It was the center of the city there was a camp set up as they slowly began to spot it. Penelope motioned to Marcus beside her to the camfire that was slowly dying and that the sleep rolls seemed empty for the time being. There was a brief moment as she watched him rise from the water as she fallowed him quickly climbing
up the rocky edge of a crumbled building. She looked about as she paused hearing nothing for a moment. "GET DOWN!" she shouted to him as she grabbed marcus from the back of the neck and pushed him into the ground and covered his body with her own as own of the rouges unraveled a scroll and released a bunch of weapons that shot out at them. Penelope winced as she felt many of them peirce into her as she whipped her tail about trying 
to knock them away as she glared behind her. She jumped up as she lunged herself towards him as Marcus went to the camp to search only to find the other two ninja there. Penelope tackled the ninja to the ground as her tail was wrapped around his neck squeezing around his neck tighter and tighter as she pinned down his hands into the rocks. "Bastards.... how dare ....-you even strike at me!?!" she snapped at him as she could feel
him gasping for air. Penelope headbutted him so that he was knocked out as she ripped his throat wide open as blood splattered everywhere. She was then thrown aside into more rubble as she winced looking upwards as Marcus was thrown too. Looking upwards she could see an impaling downfall of weapons as she gritted her teeth and slowly began to push herself up as she heard the growling of wolves but she was hugged by Marcus. "What the 
hell? Marcus let me go-..." she snapped trying to remove herself knowing she could try and create more bones as the summoned wolves where approaching. "Shut up and let me protect you woman..." he snapped back to her as he looked to her hugging her tightly as he flinched slightly coughing up blood. Penelope could feel his blood trickle down onto her neck as she looked slowly up to him as it trailed to her heart. "Marcus you idoit..." she 
whispered softly. "Pen...I dont want you hurt... you had such a tought life... I remember you when you where a child... dont give up... " he said as he looked to a large kunai sticking through his ribcage as he was removed from hugging Penelope by a wolf as he was dragged away Penelopes eyes shook slightly. Penelope yelled out in anger as she felt her bones cracking in anger as she was trying to push her bones to the surface. "Let him go!" 
she yelled as she rushed at the beast and tackled it to the ground bitting onto it as she punched it into the ground and broke into its rib cage. Penelope growled somewhat as she used her bone bullets shooting in every direction to protect Marcus. "Your such an idiot..." she marked her words to him as he was coughing up more blood then before. She looked to the ninja that had summoned the wolves as she covered Marcus with her body again. 
Performing her bone palm Jutsu she placed her hands carefully over his wounds as she watched the attempt to heal him.
"Your a Kiri ninja so start acting like it damn it, dont give in like this... dont give up" she snapped as she felt her anger an chakra rise a bit more. As the bone palm was healing him from the pieces of bone she rushed at the Rouge that had summoned the wolves as she yelled angerily and ripped her tail from her body and sliced it downwards before he had time to react. She watched the wolves disappear as she panted a bit and looked about there 
was one more but where was he at? She also had to make sure Marcus survived too. She was once again thrown as she crashed through the rubble and fell into the water gasping. She felt someone grab ahold of her neck as she was dragged down lower into the depths with them as she extended her arm attempting bone bullets again as she also tried striking him but the rouge. Penelope looked was struggling as she saw the box on his back containing the
sealed scrolls of kiri that she was to retrieve. Penelope was sinking and fast with the ninja as he was going to run out of air too here soon but he had grabbed ahold of her as he began to hug her tightly trying to get her to release what air she had left. She squirmed as she tried to move out of his grasp but it was futile in effort. Opening her mouth she reached out and bit ahold of his neck through her mask attempting bone bullet as her teeth
pushed through his skin repeaditly and built up to cut off his air supply completely as she had let out all the air from her body she was begining to sink. Dizzily she reached out grasping ahold of the box as she began to close her eyes. She felt cold and faint as she watched her hair swirl around her as the world faded away. She awoke to cough up water as she was reaching out to hit the nearest person to her but it was Marcus. She glared to the
man but sighed and looked away and to the box containing the Kiri scrolls. "At least their safe... lets get everything home..." she said as she began to be lifted up with help as she looked to him then away. "I'll be fine" she said as she grabbed the scrolls and felt sorry for the Kiri scouts that where lost in battle. They had burried them as they made their way back to the ship as time began to pass. Penelope had opened one of the scrolls looking 
it over as she studdied it carefully as they headed homebound and began to study the new jutsu she had learned hidden mist jutsu. She had allowed Marcus to rest as she locked the scrolls away but once they would return back to a more proper shelf case they would go and medical attention to Marcus as she thought on what he had said and shook her head. "I cannot care for anyone but myself its the only way to ensure my survival..." she thought siliently.
