Hide and Seek {DE}{M}{O}

~{{)5/10(}}~

Once again the pounding of his boots to the soft earth beneath would shoot the smallest of dirt specks to the opposite sides of his boots, his eyes never halting their little scouting of the area and his hand never halting movement across the scroll in his grasp as if he was an artist. This thought instantly brought the Li clan into his mind, quickly wondering why he hadn't partied with these artists. The small smirk that rested upon his lips would grow larger as he closed his eyes for a moment and continued on thinking to himself all the while he would walk and scribble ink across the scroll that was being carried. It was obvious that this substance was drying quickly as his hand was dragging across it and all thoughts of outside trouble would vanish. With his head falling aside momentarily as he cracked his neck, his eyes would shut.

However they were only to open a few moments later, he did have this work to take care of. His body pretty cooled as breeze began to squeeze themselves through the area. Struggling through the slightly humid weather where sunlight would break through these trees. . .well these, as in the ones located just outside the gates. There were none in this very area. His head would be brought back to the normal lifting and his hand would bring a bit more stroking across the scroll. The leather gloves along his hands would being to accumulate sweat along his palms inside which would only bring him down from his little throne. It was obvious he hated the heat, but he was beginning to cope with it. It'd all start with the annoyance and frustration ad than begin to rocket from there.

". . .I. . .will never. . .okay I got nothin'. . ."

He'd attempt. The silver locks waving before his eyes would be blown away and he would continue on with his bidding.

The teal optics peering past the oncoming crowds and crowds of residents within this oh so large land would spot everything that was needed as his body twisted every which direction to avoid any trouble. Of course he wouldn't mind tackling trouble head on but this little blueprint thing was pretty important and he couldn't afford any screw ups. It wasn't because of the mission it was because he seemed to wanted a clean blueprint for himself. However, the thoughts would fade as the light breezes squeezing through the area caressed his body and shoved his jacket in another direction the slightest as his head followed a female's body. Tch, it seemed as if things only came to him when they weren't needed. . .how sad, how frustrating, how ridiculous?

His eyes would lower to the earth before his hand ran across the tool in his grasp while he continued on to observe all that he could spot, the most important things being marked as all else should've been upon this little blueprint. Like he was a giant, his eyes peered over the several heads that weren't to block his own sight and dropped down to the gorgeous bodies of these incredible females who indeed taunted him with their body language. Swallowing, he would part his lips to speak in a low tone that would probably remain unheard by any of these people, their chatter being enough to drown out his single low spoke words. . .

"This is damn cruel."

A quick flick along the scroll would be completed among a blank space marking more of a piece to this print, and his eyes would fall closed as he twisted to avoid a shoulder. . .this was getting ridiculous his eyes could tell it clearly.

"Heh, now that I look at it, this blueprint has gotten pret-ty big."

He'd spill to himself lightly as his fingers brought the wooden brush to lug across the scroll once more, design incredibly interesting and every corner and wall pinpoint accurate. Not a thing was seen to be wrong with this and the Hokage tower seeming all so interesting, however not the best it would seem. However, he had become surprised at what he had found within this place once again, however he stilled hadn't found what he needed, wanted to do with his little life. Sure, beating the hell out of people was pretty cool, but serious things,what a bout those? The shinobi's eyes would narrow as he continued on stepping through the immense village, his hands managing to pull along some more creation, structures before him and even a ramen shop pulling into sight.

Everything at this point that came within sight would be marked down the the utmost detail as it had been before. Even here in the center of the place it would seem as if these people -- crowds of people would fall apart and things would calm. Heheh, no doubt the rogue was relieved at this point and couldn't help but mark down the remains of this place along his scroll. He'd managed to travel safely throughout this place without even a thought of trouble, sadly. But this was Leaf, maybe they wanted to surprise him? His smile would crawl away and his body would be turned to face one final direction before he headed off. This was too easy. . .

Moving.

Resting, his eyes would begin to fall shut as the continuous swaying of the clouds above were spotted through the breaks between the trees around and their leaves. Pretty cool, the heat was diminishing slightly and he could hold off on that little urge he had began to grab while walking through Leaf. It was only a matter of time now before those little ninja popped up however. Just thinking of that little squad brought a sad smirk to the silver haired rogue's lips while his feet would slide across the dirt until his calves rested atop at his back did. All so calm and relaxed, he'd just begin to forget about this Aiko person before something smacked him along his chest. Of course he wouldn't bother getting up with the sudden drop even if it could've been harmful.

It was just so like her to do something like this, she had shown a little of what she had on first sight. Interesting how quickly she offered to help out, but why exactly? The rogue would push himself to sit, hands behind him body for support and slowly lift his limp eyes from her feet to her eyes, his smirk grow larger. "They sure are Homely.", her last sentence spoken, Gouzentaru shaking his head somewhat unconcerned. As if he cared about that little town and the wo -- Well. . .as if he cared about comments of that little town, it didn't seem all too interesting, but than again, he had never been there. But there was no reason for him to head out to the dusty place anyways. Grabbing hold of the paper tossed to him he'd take a few moment to add it along onto the scroll that rested by his side and wait once he was finished.

Ten to twenty minutes would pass maybe? But finally, the little group of ninja would arrive in their little costumes in something of a flash once more. . .well they had never arrived in a flash but liked Hide and Seek he'd suppose. Cackling a bit as they approached slowly, side by side, his hand would be placed along the side of the scroll and his teal optics would pierce their weak little minds as he grinned. It didn't matter what they wanted to do at this point, either they had brought along their own scrolls or they weren't to get their hands on this one beside Gouzentaru. His attitude was enough to tell these four that he truly didn't care for much, but than there was that one loop to that, the ryo. His head would fall aside just a bit as words slipped through his parting lips. . .

"We're all friends here right? Trick question, don't answer. Ryo and your own material, or nothing at all. For you that is."

He'd speak, that cocky tone behind each word spilled on that little carpet. Staining like wine, he'd continue to look on while their body language quickly shifted while a bag of scrolls would be emptied onto the dirt by the one along the far left. The only smart one of the group Kyo would concur. Along side this bag would be placed another holding the ryo which of course was grabbed first and counted. . .from low to high and no matter how long it took he would count it in front of their faces and then peer over to Aiko with a cynical sneer. He could toss this over to her, but he could also look at her and laugh. . .but what interest would that arouse? The extra scrolls would be lanced through, the blueprints being marked upon them easily. . .though it would take some time. One finished the wanna-be shinobi would take their scrolls and than their leave. Boring. . .

"So Aiko-chan, how has your day been?"

Oh how it seemed the two had something in common. It would just bring a bit of excitement to his face as he lifted the large scroll from the earth and took a quick glance at the outstanding female before him. Sure he had seen females with attitude but one with the interest in busting people's heads in? It was like a fairytale that never ended. By now it was apparent that he was quite interested in the girl, but it wouldn't change the fact that he was still a man. . .or would it? She found out he was cheating she'd probably attempt to slit his throat; that would definitely bring along a small cackle. Not a single hint of fear, but it did rather disturb him to think about it. After what happened previously, he was in the mood to tell every female to keep her hands to her own body.

But than again, that was a kiss that couldn't be matched no matter what the rogue had thought the moment he had gotten it. His head would fall to the earth while he licked his lips and focused back on Aiko. She claimed that she could "Beat him in a way or two?" Ha, she was a female and he was. . .well, Gouzentaru, it was nothing against them but the simple fact that she seemed a bit gorgeous made it hard to believe she was soo naughty. He'd chuckle a bit more, his hand rising to his lips. She was pretty sure of herself and that was something that he admired. Most of the other females encountered treated themselves like dirt for his attention, pretended to be something they weren't. But this could've just been a fling, nothing serious. . .right?

"Haha, do explain those ways. And don't you mean, I can pay you by letting you accompany me? Looking like that I truly wouldn't mind."

To her word referring to the boy, he would simply nod with a bit of confusion lingering upon.
