Stepping up the river the individual knelt, rinsing the crimson essence from the sword before stand upright once again. Turning towards the sight of the moon the young woman's face glowed with a sad smile. Off in the distance, an oppressive chakra was looming. A familiar face was about to make himself known. Seemingly unaware of the nearby threat Rika began to make her way south, hoping to quickly leave the country. As moonlight lit her path she followed the river bank through the winding maze of ravines. In the shadow of the moonlit night, several ANBU from the Hidden Cloud silently approach their target. A rustle is in the surrounding bushes. Stopping after hearing the faint disturbance Rika peers around into the adjacent shadows. Scoffing at the situation she begins to instinctively move towards the water. "All right, woman. You're coming with us. You have been charged with murder and you have been sentenced to come before Lord Raikage." The ANBU agent who said this moved up to apprehend her. "I didn't expect to encounter dogs from the village this far out, I suppose luck just isn't with me tonight," Rika begins sarcastically, "I don't think I'll be heeding your orders though...I don't answer to Kumo." With that said the young woman backed up completely onto the surface of the river, and simultaneously tightened the grip on her blade. The ANBU agent became irritated, "How insolent!" He then charged at her.
