His brother’s jovial laugh, and subsequent comment about him being so sour was met with an averted gaze and his typical soft scoff. He knew he was a sour man - he’d always been, the hatred that brewed in his chest starting as an ember when he was mocked for his ear that flopped comically as he moved, or his nub tail that interrupted the grace and dignity of his koi-splotched form. It grew into a roaring flame that licked his bones when their mother told the, about their absent father, and the name scorched his brain. Raijin. He hated him. He hated him for leaving their mother, hated him for leaving behind two lives as if they meant nothing. Leaving Iga themselves was so painful, and the image lf their mother’s tearful face as they left their home would be an image he’d never forget. Like Kuroo, he’d plan to come back and visit her someday. Though that day might never come. Just how far away from home were they?

He, too, was unfamiliar with the flora. No doubt the fauna would be a tad different, as well. Not drastically, if this place was anything like Iga in some manner, which it didn’t. He glanced up at the strangely-leaved trees with the thick, tall trunks, a twang of homesickness hitting him from deep within. He missed the cherry blossoms that filled their homeland, the pink petals that fell that they would play in as children; he, Roo, Keri, and Hatsume..all together. But, he wasn’t the mushy, sentimental type. Definitely not. He nodded in response to his brother’s comment about finding their cousins. "Yeah," He murmured. Padding over the rest of the rocky island, he could tell his brother was trying not to burst in laughter as his poofed-out pelt. He shot a fiery look at him, the same look he gave him even when they were young children. Some things never changed.

As the two reached inland, Usagi felt the sand sink between his toes as he walked carefully, scanning the region. He took one last look behind them, towards the roaring see. A deep sigh fell from his lips, and offering the horizon one last, slightly saddened glance, he moved forward, focused on their mission. The raging fire steeped in his chest motivated him to keep going. Upon Roo’s inquiry of if they had landed in a totally different area, Usagi glanced about and shrugged. "It’s possible," He said gruffly, his tone its typical coarse, low grumble. It was true - what if the land was even larger than Iga, and they couldn’t find them? He suppressed any concern that tried to brew within him, instead replacing it with determination. "But unless we keep moving, we’ll never find them." It wasn’t entirely true - they’d have to run into each other eventually. Hopefully.
