Shien was grouped up with Taiki and Yahiko, the real Shien that was. As real as one could say that they were when split between a couple of clones. On the way over, SHien would speak up to Taiki and Deucalion as well as Hayato. "I can suppress our chakra signatures. Just say the word and I will get to it. It's to counter any sensors of the enemy." He would not be getting to use that maneuver however, as they would be meeting the first obstacle. And what an obstacle it was.

That person from those years ago. The one that Kideme had told him about, the one that gave her the curse mark when he went with his old sensei, Kideme and Zaiko (rest his soul) to the land of earth for a recon mission. Shien just stopped in his tracks with his team, only for Kideme to bolt off from the group and tear off a tag and create a copy of herself. Well, Shien could tell which one was the real Kideme, there was no mistaking it at all times. The other one seemed emotionless even, like a carbon copy put on base instincts? It was hard to say.

"Wind users focus on the fake one. She can't compare to her elemental weakness." Shien reached back and gripped the giant folding fan on his back, bringing it out to two moons so that it could be wielded in the tight quarters that they were in. He didn't want to risk hitting the real Kideme. But with Taiki and Yahiko, maybe they could take on the copy of Kideme. But what about the other guy and the real Kideme?

it was a hard decision to make, but with his right hand occupied, Shien prepared his left hand by swiftly uncapping the gourds on his hips, a bit of sand starting to drift out while forming into three globs of the stuff, floating at the ready to shocase a power he had discovered a year back and had been practicing with in secret. His tongue was pressed between his teeth, sending pain nerves off through his mouth at the thought of fighting someone so close to him, and to keep himself alert and aware. "Taiki, can you work with me?" He hoped Taiki could pick up on anything he was doing and get some sort of combination off. He was sorry to do this, but he would be using those globs of sand and his fan to scatter the ground with the stuff using his Dust Wind Technique, to make the footing difficult between them and the Kidemes. As an added bonus, the inflection he put in the flick of his right hand would get an extra amount of the chakra laden sand to fly up into the fake Kideme's eyes, and possibly the real Kideme if they were close enough. he didn't want to fight Kideme. But that fake one had to go and had to be kept from getting started to do anything or get close to them on the ground.
