Ur Leik my bst frnd <3 [Ryo/Open]

[Matsu]

Irritation tugged at the young warriors expression, he was obviously not thrilled with waiting for Isamu. Sitting cross legged on the ground, he would scratch his head slowly as he yawned from beneath his face guard. He had come out here today full dressed up in his armor, spontaneous missions were often something they did. What he could not seem to grasp however was why they always had to meet here. Sitting next to a large pond, he could see the waters bottom it was so clean. "Why always the pond..?" he wondered aloud as he sighed. He would have much rathed to have a nice break in the ramen shop. Perhaps this was pay back for losing that game of dice last night, he never was a strong gambler.

"Haha.. stupid fish."

Watching them with mild interest, Magojiro could see the fish reacting to the rocks he was splashing into the water. Such simple creatues, not full aware of their true destructive nature. Perhaps one day they would all be like them, there would be no need for such useless violence. For now however he would strive to complete his goal, to become the greatest warrior known in the world. People would one day whisper as he passed them, knowing that he could easily be their savior or their damnation. The prospect was amusing, especially because he was already well on his way in the form of training anyway. Keeping his guard up, he would make sure that no one would flank him and give him a scare.

"..."

[.:Ryo:.]

((LOL! That thread title made me lawl like crazy!))

It wasn't like he had meant to be late, but it did seem to happen a lot to Isamu. He only hoped that his friend wouldn't mind. He had a long, crimson robe on as he slid his katana into the sheath upon his back. Isamu wasn't one hundred percent sure what they would be up to today, but it would probably be a mission of some sort. They often decided to do random missions or random training just to benefit not only themselves, but also their village. Isamu couldn't think think of anything he valued more than his friendship and his village. His robe dragging back slightly as he ran, Isamu brushed bangs out of his eyes as he scouted the area, trying to find Magojiro. Smirking as he saw his buddy, the Kaishin user stopped and walked slowly toward his teammate.

"Well it took you long enough. I've been waiting here for long enough! How could you do this to me?! I'll never forgive you ya know." Though he was the one that was late, Isamu still loved to kid around with his friend. He hadn't even noticed that Magojiro had been blatantly staring into a pond. Isamu looked at the fish, then back up at his friend with a slightly confused look. "Why the hell ya staring at fish man?" He was never one to be particularly thoughtful or polite, but when it came down to missions, training, and general combat, Isamu was never more serious. He had a plan for himself. It didn't involve Waterfall, but of him and his friend.

To be the best...

[Matsu]

"..."

He would stare at the pond lost in thought for a moment, not even hearing Isamu approach. He even managed to miss the first part of Isamu's rant about how he had been waiting. Or had he even been there at all? With a crisp wisp of smoke, the body would explode into a cloud of smoke to shortly reveal a log after. He had substituted when he had felt his friend coming. He would instead be located behind Isamu in a tree. Moving with quick speed, he would pick up a small rock and chuck it at Isamu's head. "Thats what you get for being late.." he muttered sounding irritated. He wasn't however, and Isamu would most likely know it. His grin was hidden beneath his face guard, making it hard for those who didn't know the two to guess at what was going on here.

"I was staring at Fish because I was bored! You really need to get the lead out of your ass."

With that Magojiro would slide forth from the tree. Landing with a soft crunch, his armor would make a slight jingle sound, but not much of one. With that he would carefully make his way over, making sure to keep his guard up for counter pranks. "So I figured we'd work on a mission or two today. Seems everything else is rather boring." he said picking wax from his ear and flicking it off in the opposite direction. It had been a boring few days, hopefully this would get his blood flowing once more. Clearing his throat he would snap out of his thoughts.

"So why were you late, if you don't mind explaining..?"

[.:Ryo:.]

Looking around, Isamu didn't see his friend turn into a piece of wood because he was seeing if there were any other friendly faces about. He eventually looked up into the sky and stretched his arms far above him, his jaw gaping in a yawn. It was short lived, though, because a rock soon hit the back of his head. Jumping, Isamu quickly spun around to see his real friend standing there. He did a quick look at the log by the pond, then back to his friend again. Before he was able to say anything he was told why he was punished. "Sorry man. I didn't think you'd get so pissy about it. Sometimes I think you're a woman with the way you act." A quick smirked flashed towards his friend.

Mumbling some mix of curses under his breath about 'getting the lead out of his ass,' Isamu really didn't mind the insults, but would like to figure out what they were doing today. Missions usually involved some form of travel so they could talk and argue while they got to wherever they were going. "Yea. Don't really want to train. At least not right now. Just gotta go figure out what missions are up for grabs." Stretching again as he yawned, Isamu smiled a little bit when he was asked about his delay. "I was sleeping. I've been sleeping a lot later recently, but my uncle keeps waking me up. He's working me like hell on the Kaishin techniques. It's annoying."

...one needs to defeat the best

[drakar]

[Warning... I'm doing First Person.]

I walked through the village for a while before making the stop I had been meaning to. I stopped at the residence of a young herbalist, I had placed an order which was suppose to be finished today. Stopping in front of his house I knocked three times before the man answered. Leading me inside without a word he handed me a container with a flesh colored salve. With a nod I pocketed the stuff and walked out of the building.

We exchanged no words, none were needed unless I was placing the order. Placing the container in my pocket I removed the dark blue lighter from the pocket's depths. Deciding to light up I withdrew a cigarette from the pack and placed it between my lips. Lighting it with a practiced air I exhaled a plume of smoke above my brow. I walked through the village unconcerned and uncaring where I went.

After twenty minutes of careless wandering I found myself approaching a pond. I stared around lazily with red rimmed optics before noticing two figures. With a half smile I would say, "Yo." a simple statement, yet one that spoke much more as a breeze wafted through my dark green hair. It was not cold, yet I adjusted the suit jacket which had grown slightly uncomfortable in the breeze.

[Matsu]

"Har har, laugh it up chuckles."

The way they argued sometimes was exactly the same as an old married couple. It was kind of funny to them when people gave them weird looks for their outbursts. He would rotate his shoulder joint slowly loosening his muscles as he did almost habitually. In all honesty it was a bit of an annoying problem, always needing to loosen his joints or else he felt they would explode. Most likely it was just something that was all in his head, but he could care less. As always however their mind was on the same thing, they wanted to actually do something today. What better way then to get a few mission under their belt.

"It seems you always know what to say baby."

He would joke about with his friend, as they always did. He shook his head when he went on to mention something about his uncle, Magojiro always had ignored those with higher power over him. "Well tell him to get off your.. err never mind." he started with a laugh as he knew that it would most likely not end up going anywhere good. Shrugging he would yawn just as his friend did. "Well I suppose we better go check those missions out to see what we got.." he said with a smirk beneath his face guard. That was when he heard it, his ears more sensitive then any other sense he had on his person. Someone was approaching. Turning to face them, he would examine the man before he made his full approach. Just when he was about to speak, the man greeted them with a simple yo.

"..Yeah?" not the most polite of responses, but that was just how he was. He could not careless what others thought about him really until they become his friends.

[.:Ryo:.]

"It's just because I know you so well sweetheart."

That was definitely the truth. It was the sad, sad truth, but it was still the truth! Isamu knew more about this kid than anybody else, and vice-versa. He wouldn't have it any other way because any other way would just be wrong. He like how strong their bond was, especially since it helped them understand each other in combat. If two people can be silent, but still coordinate attacks then they could pull off moves that other shinobi simply wouldn't be able to do. It wasn't all about combat, but Isamu thought about fighting a lot, so that always had to go through his thought process. Hell, half the time he didn't even know what he was thinking about.

Glancing behind him, Isamu looked at the kid. He was about to draw his sword, but nobody would be stupid enough to try and attack in the middle of the Waterfall Village. "Hey," he said simply before turning back to Magojiro. "I've checked it out and there's already a mission we can take, but we'll have to travel way out to Stone. Don't think I've ever actually been there before to be honest." Scratching the back of his head in thought, Isamu looked back to the stranger who had greeted them. Who was he?

[drakar]

Exhaling a puff of smoke from his nostrils I listened as they continued to speak. A mission to Stone, eh? sounded like fun. I was likely too far for the marks beneath my eyes to be seen so I reached into my pocket and silently opened the container of salve. Withdrawing my hand after takign a small amount on two fingers, the color matched my skintone perfectly, I would proceed to rub beneath my eyes as if tired.

The application would hopefully go unnoticed along with the green dots on my forehead hidden by my headband. I didn't feel like being known as a Kaguya, my mother had often told me how feared we were. I still had the layer of bone armor beneath my skin from before, having forgotten to disappate it. "Name's Saito..." that was all, a man of few words some would say not very accurately though.

Contemplating their urge to go on a mission for a while I said, "So you two plan on going to Stone, eh? I've been there once, nothing really note-worthy happend, but I was there for a while." Taking the last pull of the cigarette he would expell the smoke into the air once more and put it out on his shoe. Carelessly flicking the smoldering cigarette behind him it landed into a nearby garbage can and he began walking towards the two travelers-to-be.

[Matsu]

"Saito huh..?"

Magojiro was not really sure what to make of the man. He was a smoker, something that he heavily disapproved of, especially in the ways of being a warrior. One crippled their own potential by not loving and respecting their own body. His eyes held a feirce glint in them as he took in his fellow Waterfall Ninja's appearance. He seemed like a sturdy fellow, someone they could count on. It just so happened that they would need another for their mission, it would increase the odds of their success. "Earth you say? What exactly are we suppose to do there? Hopefully we get to crack some skulls.." he said with a smile that could not be seen. As crude as it was, he loved to fight others. When lost in combat, he felt that he was truly more then his mortal shell suggested.

"And you say you've been there? Even if nothing good happened, you might as well come along with us.. if thats okay Mr. Chuunin" he teased. Ever since Isamu had obtained that rank he had teased him with a passion. There next move would rely solely on Isamu's decision, he was the only one qualified to take them on this mission.

[.:Ryo:.]

Maybe it was a mistake to discuss mission details in front of somebody he didn't even know, but Isamu had a feeling this guy was friendly enough. If he was a Waterfall ninja then he could be a powerful asset to have on their mission anyway. Time would just have to tell, but until then, Isamu was going to be very cautious. Looking at the smoke exit his nostrils, a smirk crossed over the Kaishin's face. "Y'know, that can kill ya, man." His name had been heard, but that by no means meant that Isamu had to do the same thing. So this guy had been to Stone, eh? Well, that might be useful in their mission. Maybe he could come along.

Popping out a scroll from his inventory, Isamu smirked when he was asked what they would be doing there. "We were taking the mission whether you liked it or not, so I'll go ahead and read you the details." Clearing his throat, Isamu read the mission scroll. "We need to go to the Takikage Tower and leave our headbands there. We are to travel to Stone disguised as non-ninja. Under no circumstance are we to tell where we hail from. Do not reveal Waterfall's location. Locate the village gate, mark it, and come back home." When Isamu finished reading it he looked at the two.

"Sure, you can come along as well, Saito. I'm Kaishin, Isamu."

[drakar]

At the comment on my smoking I simply laughed, coughing slightly. I laughed until I broke into a coughing fit, a tiny amount of blood spewing into my hand. "You got one disease might as well have them all," I spoke the slightly cryptic message just loud enough to be heard. My face would fall slightly, the two dots on my forhead would be revealed upon removing my headband, so I resigned myself to discovery.

It was not that I was ashamed of my heritage, I just didn't really want it getting out. The only way I could see to get out of the predicament undiscovered would be to back out. that was always an option, yet I had been getting cramped in the Land of the Waterfall. With a resigned sigh I would say, "Alright then Isamu, when are we leavin'?" I was ready to get out and about again, back like before I had arrived in my new home.

[Matsu]

"...huh?"

He was genuinely confused by that statement but he would shrug his shoulders and disregard it. He however was a little weirded out by the green dots on the mans head, what the hell where they? Having no idea what it meant he would simply shrug his shoulders. He didn't need to pry into this mans business, the past was something that every man should keep behind him, but never forget where they came from. "Magojiro." he offered, not really bothering with his surname. He didn't find it to be that important really. With that he would turn and look towards the Kage tower.

"Well I suppose we better get going then, we got alot to do.."

And with that the young warrior would start his walk towards the tower. He really didn't like to part with his village symbol, but it was required for this mission. The true mission parameters still eluded him, how exactly were they to do this? Was kidnapping against the rules? He supposed with such an open ended description that meant no, but he would just ask a few more questions when they got there.

{Exit}

[.:Ryo:.]

Scratching the back of his head, Isamu looked at the newcomer with interest when he revealed the symbols on his head. Maybe it was part of some clan or bloodline? The Kaishin didn't have anything particularly notable about themselves that he could think of at the moment. In combat, of course, they were recognized for their natural ability to make ice and water, but that was about it. Isamu nodded to both of them. "Let's get a move on to the Tower then so we can do this mission." Whistling to himself, Isamu put his hands in his pockets and walked in the direction of the Tower with his friend.

[/exit]

[drakar]

I had noticed the stares at my forehead after my headband had been removed. Relief flooded my body as neither seemed to recognize the sign of my blood. Without a word I would simply nod and follow them to the Takikage Tower.

[Exit]
