Cold Beauty(Travel to Cloud)

[sen]

Evening had set its course over the winter lands of the majestic snow country. The snow from the morning lay untouched sparkling in what was left of the light. Across the snow there was one flaw, footsteps that had stretched over a long length of land and led up to a girl around the age of 17 with long dark purple hair that covered her pale face with the slightest touch of color in her cheeks.

Her aqua colored eyes were intense, either deep in thought or stuck in a constant rage. First glimpse of the girl she would have come buy as pretty or even beauty but her eyes gave her a cold look to her that could make many people steer way of her. On a second glance you'd notice that the kimono shirt and the dark grey skirt she wore were not for the winter time which it was always winter time here but not while she traveled which is what brought her to where she was the border of snow.

What was the point of being here anymore? She had come here only to check up on her father and he seemed well and it was best not to tread into the past. No for her she had heard rumors of an organization starting in cloud that seemed pretty interesting. Besides she was a Medical Ninja, There was only a handful of these people talented with precise chakra control that were used to heal wounds of battles and your every day sickness with a few plagues here and there.

There was always the worry of guards and such but today there seemed not enough traffic and with holidays winding near even she could drop to her knees put on a few water works and explain a long incredibly believable story of her being lost after a terrifying story of a woman that looked so much like her (in case they were aware that she was an missing nin). Most of the time the place was pretty slow and inattentive.

Foot step after footstep was made until Sayuri stopped in her tracks as she moved her medical supply bag to the front of her body as a gust of wind blew her hair and clothes slightly but just enough to show off the snow headband on her upper leg. She had pulled out a blanket that she had now laid across the untouched snow as she took of her shoes and removed the clinging snow from her shoes as she removed a small box from the bag as well and opened it revealing that the box was a bento.

A loud sigh escaped her as she looked at the food having no real appetight yet it was dangerous to be out here in the cold, without fuel for her system. She took out a small bottle of rubbing alcohol and replaced it getting a small bottle of water out.
She grumbled as she looked at the frosted bottle and shook her head.

"This sucks."Sayuri said her voice having a cruel ring to its softness that seemed to match her face five minutes ago. Her face was more calm and uncaring then angry or deep in thought or anything like that. Her true beauty now then anger did as she laid back on the blanket her legs folded from touching the snow as a gust of wind blew by her and she shivered slightly as she sat up again and took her food in her hand and the chopsticks placed neatly in the box and began eating wondering if anyone would pass by.

[sen]

Too much time had pass and the sun was starting to go down. Sayuri replaced her shoes on her feet and put everything but the blanket back into her bag as she shook the loose snow off the blanket and wrapped it around her body to keep her from getting hypothermia or other sicknesses.

The foot prints she had left behind looked older then the ones she just made which made her wonder about training her tracking ability's once she reached cloud or her next pit stop which wouldn't be for awhile since she had much to long a walk even if the two country's where next to each other.

Humming broke the snowy silence as Sayuri hummed lightly to keep herself occupied on the long trip as she looked forward toward her goal forgetting the harsh cold that clung to her body. Her grip tightened on the blanket as it wrapped tighter around her as step after step the snow below her crushing and being pushed down forming into her footsteps as her constant breathing blew the fog in her face as she moved faster and faster until she was in a sprint.

She felt strange like a claustrophobic feeling except the place was so wide almost endless when she saw the faintest line ahead and she saw the border of Lightning and Snow, She was one step closer then before as she darted into a run snow kicking up on her body dampening her clothes and the blanket which along with her sleeves where flowing behind her body with her hair gracefully as her eyes softened with relief as she neared the gate having no sign of guards as of yet.

She stopped in her tracks as she put her hand on the icy stone of the wall. Now what was it to be used for? To keep her in or out? Her lips curved at the corners giving her a casual smile as her eyes soften once more giving her the look of a normal kind young girl.

It dropped as her eyes flared as she jumped back from the wall and summoned chakra to her feet so that her feet where now above the snow instead of ankle deep into as she ran again and then up the icy wall with ease as she stopped on top looking at the snow on the other side and sighed as she folded up the blanket and replaced it in her bag as she jumped down before anyone could see her.

New foot steps on the side of Lightning instead of snow but snow was as shorter distance not to mention a completely smaller country then Lightning was and she was in for a whiles travel.

Sayuri often had to stop just to warm her feet and hands and by now she had brought out the Grey blanket again and wrapped it around her as she started running south once again to reach the next town or somewhere warm to sleep, eat and warm up. She stopped at a rocky outcrop and was happy to find to find a cave and a couple of dead trees.

She approached the cave and saw it was to small for animal that could bring any real harm to her. She laid the blanket down on the clear ground and proceeded to to make a fire.

It took her a good 15 minutes to get a fire going with the wood she was granted from the earth and she sat close to it her hands wrapped around her knees her feet bare once again warming up nicely on the fire as her mind dozed off.

When she awoke the sun was just coming up and her fire was nothing but embers. She sat up groggily her body cold as she put all but a few pieces and took an extra piece and a kunai out of the holder on her leg and shaved some of the bark and wood into the fire as she placed the remanding wood in her bag in case she would need it again. The fire started up again as she pulled the blanket over her waiting for the day to start again so she could have some warmth from the sun during her travels.

She yawned and rubbed her burning eyes the feeling of her cold fingertips made her eyes feel slightly better only to have the abrupt burning sensation came as she removed her fingers to go infront of the fire with her feet.

It was about noon when the fire had died as Sayuri replaced her shoes and put the blanket back once again as she kicked snow on the still burning embers and it became a smoke signal which she wished she had thought twice about but there was a lack of sleep aching in her body and mind.

There was an endless amount of walking as the sun moved across the sky and the snow thinned until she reached powdery snow meaning she was in a different weather zone.

Before she knew it the sun was gone and the moon was high in the sky shining of the snow so beautiful. The temperature had dropped and it had become way to dangerous to be out. Her pace quickened the darkened area sunk into making it eerie beyond belief but then she saw a faint light. She had found it. The village hidden in the cloud. A strange fog hugged the place and rolled over her body as it blew her clothes and hair around in an icy breeze.

Now to await Destiny.

[.:Sako:.]

After waking up after a wonderful sleep Itahci saw as the sun arose and the trees were lit.Itachi then remebered he was still on a mission and so he got up right away and began looking left and right.Then he saw as a girl appeared walking up toward the gates of The Land of Thunder.Well what do we have here finally something interesting this should be good.And so Itahci went back to the tree quickly making sure the girl didn't see him.When he got to the tree he made sure to woke up his partner who seem to be sound a sleep.Whispering in a low tone Yajuu wake theres someone walking towards so wake up and get on duty.Then Itahci watched to see if he was going to wake up, but trying not to waiste any time Itahci shook Yajuu with force.

[Casper Uchiha]

Yajuu would appear next to his partner itachi in the tree. Shhh...I know everything ive been awake for a while watching her. He would whisper to his partner. The bunshin in the tree would disperse into a small cloud of smoke, hidden by the shroud of leaves in the tree. Yajuu would peer through the leaves analyzing the kunoichi trying to notice anything irregular about her. The slightly frosted headband upon her person set off an alarm in his conscious. He tries his best not to jump to conclusions and assume anything absurd, but he was also not to let down his guard. Get ready im going in you should follow. In an instant he vanishes out of the shroud of leaves in the tree causing them to slightly rustle against eachother. A black blur quickly approaches the snow kunoichi. Yajuu would stop closing in on her around 8 meters. Making sure to project his voice he would say. Hey you there snow ninja, please lay down your weapons and belongings its not my mission to cause you harm so please surrender peacefully. He would watch as his last breaths of air turned into small thick clouds of fog. He would then wait for the girls response.

[sen]

It was like a kunai landing in her mind a sharp turn of events. The eerie human less feeling had faded from her surroundings. She heard the ruffling of leaves which was strange since she had not felt on her pale cold skin. She had persuaders maybe? Well it was normal for the first 48 hours of a newly ranked missing nin to be caught up with or decapitated.

"Brave move." Sayuri said as she heard footsteps in the powder snow crunch underneath someones feet. Her body slowly waked from its cold numbness as her head slowly raised and turn as a man stopped about 8 or so meters away from her making her Taijutsu useless at this point.

Surrender? That was certainly not an option. "I don't think i will sorry."Sayuri said kindly her voice soft and sharp and to the point.

[.:Sako:.]

Seeing that Yajuu began to walk toward the mysterious ninja Itachi began to follow ready for whatever was going to happen.Then he said to Yajuu before he reached the ninja You ready what ever you do don' back down and use force ok remeber we are protecting the village of cloud.And then walked up toward his partner boldly making sure to show no sign of nervousness.I need to keep my mind set Itachi then kept walking until they came close enough to speak to the unknown Kunoihi.

[Casper Uchiha]

Yajuu would listen to the words of the girl carfully. A slightly sadistic grin would begin to surface to his face as they were the exact words he wanted to hear from the female shinobi. He would hate for the mission to have such a boring end of her just surrendering then taking her back to the kage. The ninja would then quickly glance out of his peripheral vision at his partner. The man seemed ready to take on the worlds end, and with no further adue he started to feel a warm rush throughout his body, the feeling of his chakra ramped up and ready to go. His fingers began to curl around eachother forming the rat handsign. A bright flash emits from the small blue pools in his eyes. The flash would consume the next 10 meters infront of him, hopefully robbing the girl of her vision. He would continue to draw from the warmth rushing through him forming three more handsigns. Tiny Water Explosion the words bounce off the walls of his mind as a wave of water dashes towards the girl hopefully crashing into her. If succesful he would begin to form a genjutsu. The genjutsu would put the girl under an almost unbearable amount of pressure. Drastically slowing down her motor functions. If this succeded he would wait for his partner to finish the job.

(how would you feel if a ton of anvils suddenly fell on top of your head?)

The flicker inside her mind made her jump back but it was pointless she was a little off. She couldn't see it was all a shade of blue. She blinked over and over again trying to regain her vision as she felt the warm flow of chakra gathering into her index finger. "World Shaking!"Sayuri called out as she heard the gaining of his footsteps as she felt the ear rumble under her feet as the huge fissure would be made in front of her to protector her from the on going attacker.

"You might as well just go back to your guard posts, You wont win."Sayuri said hoping to remove the pesky guards from her trail. She stood up straight waiting for another noise to signal another attack as she jumped back about five feet from where she was waiting for her vision to return.

So as Itachi watched as his partner layed out the first deadly technique Itachi then knew it was his turn and so he went underground doing (Underground Decapitation technique).This should be over soon after what I am going to do.....Hmph.Then Itachi did one more technique creating two charged projectile kunai then while he was underground Itachi did his last flawful technique which was doing (Fish projection).Well If we're fighting I guess we should make this interesting.Then Itachi stayed underground to gain all his energy and chakara for his next move.

The smile on yajuus face begin to fade. His lips began to become chaped as they fell victim to the cold weather. He knew better not to lick them it would only get worse and distract him from battle. The occuring events were exciting his first battle on a mission was going pretty good. Though all of his attacks werent succesful him and his partner still had the upper hand. The girls vision was probably starting to come back into focus. This was not too much of a problem. Hopefully she did not notice his partner go underground as he was concerned form him. The technique she displayed earlier was beggining to disturb him itach might be in alot of danger. Hopefully he was planning something good and not anything foolish. Not forgetting about the battle and ignoring the girls comment. He began to reach into his ninja pouch. He draws two shuriken. He then lofts them into the air making sure they dont go fast at all. They float through the air as he performs two quick handsigns. An electrical surge darts through him and starts to quickly collect in his palm. Channeled lightning strike He slings the lightning towards the girl at an undogeable speed. The lightning should be sure to strike the girl. Then if succesful the lightning would strike the two closest things next to it which should be the two shuriken he tossed towards the girl not too long ago.

Her vision was returning as she soon noticed that the other man was gone. She looked around not seeing him and swore under her breath. She turned back to the main attacker noticing him throw to shuriken like they where Frisbee's. She dropped her concern for the other guard as she notice the other ones lightning attack headed straight for her. She was about to jump off to the side but her body didn't seem to want to move as she realized sweat was moistening her face.

The surge of electricity raced through her body as she held in her scream of pain as she put her arms crossing her chest where she was struck hunched over as she felt the snow on her knees. and on her face as she shut her eyes tight as she felt that electrical pain stop. Her body felt like it was on fire and it very well might be.

"Sayuri...stay awake."She spoke to herself with a drained voice as she placed her hands firmly on the snow and tried to push herself up. It was useless her eyes were watery and seemed more child-like then ever before as she looked over at the steaming shurieken he had thrown as her eyes moved upward to him before ever thing went black and she passed out.

[.:Sako:.]

Itachi then began to move swiftly through the ground as if he were splitting it in half.Then he came up behind herready to stab her in her legs to make her unconcious until he had saw that she was already out as if she was sleep for ours.Yajuu what happened did you finish her off already,but you couldn't have theres no blood on her or the snow.Well since shes knocked out I guess we should take her to the kage to here her story for coming here.Then he watched to see what Yajuu was going to do since Itachi had made up his mind already.And so Itachi dropped his kunai in his hand absorbing the chakara that was un used for the technique.This was a waiste I didn't even get to touch her I hope our next mission goes better!

[Casper Uchiha]

Yajuu would yawn, the exciting thrill was over. The girl would lay in the snow unconscious, defenseless, and not able to even lift a kunai. Well thats that. He would watch his partner pop out of the snow ready to strike. Only to see the girl already down in the snow. Yajuu would laugh as he listened to his partner give a very short rant. Well your right we should be taking her to the kage now. We could take her out now, but im sure he'd disapprove. Yajuu walks over , and starts to disarm the girl of her weapons putting them in his own bag. I guess ill take theese for now...oh and just in case. Yajuu lightly pats an explosive tag onto the girls back and ties her hands up. The measures might have been a little unnecessary but who cares? She was a snow ninja it really didn't matter to him. Then with one last effort he picks the girl up and throws her over his shoulder. Looks like your riding first class. He smirks at the corny line. Come on itachi its back to the kage's office, and if you dont mind stay behind me and watch her. I dont want to get stabbed in the back before i cant blow her to pieces. Nah im just kiddin lets go.
