Utado watched quietly before following quickly after the large fox. He could sense Storm's dangerously low chakra and gritted his teeth in frustration. If it came down to it, and they got in a fight, she'd have to lay low or Utado would have to put her in a bubble to prevent her from getting herself killed. He knew she was smart but also assumed she would try to fight, no matter the consequence. She was alot different from when they'd met.
The tree the boy had been stuffed into wasn't far from where Utado and Storm had been, and the boy coul hear the fox tearing through the trees now. He called out fo his parents in Itazuki, trying to climb out, but he was stuck at the bottom, looking up at the hole. His tiny hands grabbed for the sides of the inner tree, his feet pushing him upward, but the hole was still just out of reach.
As they got closer, Utado began to hear the boy's cries and slowed, looking for where he could possibly be. His cries were muffled, he had to be inside something. "Is he inside a tree?" Utado asked, more of a statement as he already believed that's where he was. Utado followed the boys voice to the tree and looked at Storm. "Found him," he said, reaching inside to grab the boys hands. "Hush, now, it's alright," utado said gently, the Itazuki language flowing knowinly from him.
"There they are," Jitaro's voice came from next to them. Utado's eye's widened slightly and he paused. "That's where they're hiding the boy." Jitaro was pointing at Utado and the boy now.
"Jitaro you lie!" Utado snapped and the boy flinched. "We had nothing to do with his disappearance." Utado lnew his efforts were in vain from the looks that the men with Utado were giving Utado. They were mindless zombies, they'd believe their leader over these newcomers anyday. In a last ditch effort Utado did all he could to prevent Storm from getting into trouble. He lied. "I did it," utado began. "I took the boy. I forced Storm into doing it, I said if she didn't help me I'd kill the kid and his brother." Utado carefully set the kid on the ground, who very reluctantly walked over to Jitaro, as if he knew. "Take me, but not her, she played no part."
Jitaro looked confused. This was not what he intended. Due to the hate the group had already created for Utado they now felt bad for Storm, giving Utado a 'how could you do something like that to that poor girl' kind of look. It was visible the pain that caused Utado to have his people turn on him, but for now that was all e could do. Utado looked at Storm now and his eye's said 'leep your mouth shut, I got this'.
