Kisuke placed his hand to Tsukiro's shoulder, stopping him, before he stepped into the portal.
"Let’s give it a minute. I have an odd feeling about this portal."
Tsukiro looked at Kisuke. "What kind of funny feeling?"
Kisuke shook his head. "Something just doesn’t feel right."
Tsukiro looked at the swirling vortex. "So what do we do then? We can't just stand here and do nothing."
Looking to Hyourinmaru, Kisuke adjusted his hat. "Toshiro had a plan for this portal, am I right?" He then looked into the whirling vortex. "Its unstable." He said more to himself then the others in the room.
"Unstable? How do you mean?" Hyourinmaru asked.
Still looking into the vortex Kisuke extends his hand forward. When he did the vortex opening expanded then started to slowly close. "See what I mean? This portal was made for a certain type of reiatsu. Your masters. Only he could pass through this." He looked at Hyourinmaru. "Or you."
"Then how are we supposed to get through?" Tsukiro asked.
Kisuke looked to Tsukiro. "We won't. They will have to come to us or dragon boy here will have to go to them."He looked to Hyourinmaru again.
Tsukiro sighed and sat in the captain's chair. "So we’re stuck here. Great now what? We just sit around and twiddle our thumbs until he comes?"
Kisuke sat to the edge of the desk looking at the portal. "It seems that way. Either him or someone else."
"You said something about sending Hyourinmaru through? We could send him with a message saying we're waiting for him." Tsukiro said throwing that idea out there.
Kisuke nodded adjusting his hat. "That might work. What do you think little guy?" Kisuke looked to Hyourinmaru that was now resting on top of the desk as well.
"No need, my master already senses me. He should be coming through any minute..."
"Any minute? Okay then. So we really do just twiddle our thumbs?"
Kisuke looked into the portal again. Looking. Looking for anything. Anyone. But he saw nothing. "So where are they?"
Tsukiro rolled his eyes. "Lost maybe?"
