Kaoru stood there for a bit to look for more foes before walking back to the Shiba House.

The Ranger streaked back to the Mobile Command Center, the 18-wheeled truck that was teleported to this land by his Sensei, and went inside, his Ranger form shattering. He sat down at the onboard computer and opened the com back to Ninja Ops. "Sensei, are you there?" After a moment, and a grunt or two about pushing buttons, the person in question answered. "Yes Shane, I am here." "Ok, so I got over here fine, and totally ran into those dudes from before." He left out the part about meeting the strange Japanese girl as he continued, "But someone else came, I think she was a Samurai or something, and then Kelzaks appeared so I kind of had to get involved.." he said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Hmm, an interesting development. Do you have a picture?" "Yeah, I managed to get one, sending it to you now." And so Shane sent a picture of ShinkenRed back to Ninja Ops. "Mmm...I see. That Samurai is a member of the Shiba house." "The Shiba house?" "Yes Shane. They have fielded Samurai that fight those creatures known as the Nameless Company and the Ayakashi. Seems they are the head of a larger group much like our own."
Shane sat back in his chair for a moment, "So what would you have me do? I might have the Battlizer but I can't take them all on..." "A very good point Shane, I am glad to see you have improved in that regard. Unfortunately the other Wind Rangers...and even the Thunder Rangers are nowhere to be found at this point. I have felt the power of the Green Samurai Amulet being used, but can tell you nothing about who uses it." "Great, so no backup, and some random guy using those Samurai powers. What do you want me to do?"
"Find this Shiba house, and inquire within. There you will find the help that you seek, ere you should ask." "Got it Sensei I'll try my best." "I know you will, Shane. Farewell." Then after the line was closed, Shane attempted to locate the Shiba house with the tracking system, but found nothing at all. "Guess I'll do it the old fashioned way." he said simply, picking up his skateboard again and streaking out of the 18 wheeler towards the city again, and he stopped in an area that no one was, beginning to walk normally. Seeing a sushi stall up ahead, he began to walk towards it..

Kaoru had snuck back into the Shiba house, and changed into her normal attire before sitting in the main room.
Kasumi, meanwhile, was heading toward a sushi stand, as it was her break from work. She changed out of her Alisa Bosconivich cosplay for the most part, keeping on her wig, but aside from that she was dressed in typical civilian clothes.

Shane put down his skateboard and began to pace-skate towards the stand, doing a simple mid-air trick before stopping next to the stand to look in at what it was about

Kasumi saw the man do the trick, and (in typical Kasumi fashion) clapped her hands cheerfully, applauding him.

He smiled a bit at her, "Thank you." he said in the native tongue, though he decided not to do any further business with the sushi stand because he had enough food in the command center, which he had eaten a little of before leaving. He skated on past the sushi stand, keeping an eye out on his surroundings for any clues as to a mansion.

"Hey, what are you looking for?!" Kasumi asked.

He hopped off the skateboard and looked back, "I'm just checking out the view. Being what you could call a tourist and all." Shane said to her before turning to walk away

For a tourist, he's cute, Kasumi thought before ordering sushi.
Meanwhile, Kaoru was thinking about the Ranger that assisted her. "Who was he?" she asked herself. "This is the first time I've heard of any sort of ninja Rangers aside from the Kakuranger, who I know the Shiba house has assisted in the past." Kaoru shook her head. "No. Now's not the time to think about it. There are more pressing matters at hand."

He skated around the bend and then ducked out of sight behind something, throwing off his civilian attire to reveal his Wind Ninja uniform with ninja sword on his back and grappling hook on his belt. "I know that mansion is around here somewhere." he said before streaking off through the nearby forest. But as he went along he felt the presence of a barrier somewhere nearby.

Kasumi took out her Sushi Changer and dialed Kaoru's number. The Shiba head promptly responded. "Kaoru! There was this really cute guy at the sushi stand!" she said quite loudly.
On the other side of the conversation, Kaoru held her Shodophone about six inches from her ear when Kasumi said that. When she was sure she was done, she put the phone back toward her ear. "I assume you are now gonna tell me what he looked like?"
"Mhm! He was kinda tall... Dark skin, short hair... He had a skateboard on him... He said he was just checking out the view....'
"Wait, what was that?!" Kaoru asked.
"What? He was checking ou--"
"Not that. Before that."
"Oh! He had a skateboard."
So it was the man from the skate park. "Kasumi. If possible, can you return to the Shiba house?"
"No can do, Kaoru. I'm on a 15-minute break, and so I have to go back soon."
"Very well, then." With that, Kaoru hung up the phone.

Pausing now at the outer wall of where the barrier energy rested, he took stock of where he was, readjusting the mask over his face a bit as he saw a tree branch go over the wall...and he threw the grappling hook onto said branch.
Then he climbed up the wall, and flipped over it, landing on the other side. After retrieving his hook, he crouched behind a small building, watching those move to and fro...the Samurai might have thought the kuroko were invisible, but to Shane the kuroko were like normal. "Hmm..servants even in this day and age." he thought to himself, watching the patterns and waiting until all the kuroko in one form or another had their backs to the small building.
Then he formed the handsign and streaked to the building roof, then streaked over to a narrow post on the fence, just above a hidden alarm but not triggering it. "So...judging by the name on the placard, I've found the right place." he muttered under his breath.

Kaoru continued to sit in the main room, working on a way to combat this new thread.

Hopping down from his perch, and coming up from a forward roll on the ground, the masked ninja walked up to the front door of the Shiba house...and knocked.

One of the Kuroko went to open the door... and seeing a ninja, he'd naturally do what any other Kuroko would do: Run away and alert his master.
