After a long journey from Tea Country and through the deserts of Wind Country, they were finally back aside from the champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament. It had been quite a while since they left for Tea Country as Byakko Kyuji wanted to go early to begin to adjust to the country and digest all the sights and sounds that it offered while she was there. Of course, her assistant and close friend, Lady Hinoka of the Aikayume Clan, could not disagree with her "boss" so she happily followed her friend to the tournament's country along with numerous members of the Byakko Clan that were acting as guards. A lot of fun and memorable moments had occurred there that would be likely spoken about in the future. For now however, they were standing at the entrance to the village, which was also the Toraono Dojo, and simply waiting for someone from the village to let them in which would not be too soon from now. Considering many of the Byakko Clan were with Lady Hinoka, it was rather obvious that the arrivals from Tea Country had begun or it was simple a large group of people trying to find shelter in Sand.
