And so the Vine had to regrow[nde][o]

[Kusa's Vine]

The exams were to much for Issac. The mental stress had driven him over the edge. He passed out in the middle of the final battle. He had been left and forgotten to rot in a ditch. He wasn't sure how long he had spent there or why they had actually left him. His final shreds of resistance fading away.

"What's going on, last thing I remember is a city. Why is my body so stiff I can barley move." "Blood, we need blood." "What, blood. Why how would that help." "Just let me in let me vent your rage allow me to show you what its like to really live." "You're right, I'm so tired. I should just..let...it all go.."

The city was in ruins and Issac was laying in a small dirt patch just off of the road. He was sheltered from the elements by a billboard that had fallen over. His body was naked from the waste up his hair a mess and his body in filth. As Issacs eyes opened he felt different. His focus changed, his meaning for living was dull in the back of his mind. The clans revenge. Supremacy over the other Zassou it all faded. He felt alone he knew everything was going to be done for himself from now on. Sitting up he could feel the debris sticking to his bare back. he raised his knees to his chest and crossed his arms over them. His wraps were loose and dirty. He began to pull them off trying to shake the empty feeling.

It was another few minutes before he would lean forward and crawl from under the billboard. Luckily he hadn't been crushed by the thing. Standing straight up he stretched his legs and back, his body felt like he did get crushed. He began to survey his person. He had all of his equipment on him still. "Hey at least no one robbed me." He would speak out loud himself looking around wondering where he should go. He began walking down the street reaching up behind him to take the braid out of his hair, he was in need of a wash. Issac trucked himself to a river near by he would be just out of the boundaries of the city.

He would take his pouches off and stash them behind a rock before walking to the edge of the water. Dropping his shinobi pants the shorts he was wearing under would be the only thing he had on as he walked into the running water. It was cold but refreshing. Issac let the water rush by him barley dipping the tips of his fingers into the stream as he closed his eyes. Things were going to change and he could feel it.

On top of one of the ruined buildings, Vanity sat. She had a red dress on, belted at the waist with a large black cloth. The dress had patterns of black flowers near her bottom right. Her nail polish was also red with black flower patterns on it. A pair of red chopsticks also held her long dark hair in a bundle at the top of her head. Some black sandals covered her feet lightly, though tight enough to not fall off from the wrong angle.

Vanity didn't know why she was on such a far off island, let alone a desolated place such as this. There was a lack of other people here, and at the same time a heavy lack of swords as well. However, movement from the waters below did eventually catch her eye. Who was that? The boy there... What was he doing here of all places? Well, things that were not know just gave the temptation to be found out right?

Vanity stood up from her building, stretching out her arms and legs. The waters were rather far off, so she needed some ninjutsu assistance to reach the guy. Vanity would start to perform hand signs to a fuuton ninjutsu, one that let her leap large distances. The hand signs were short, taking seconds, and when finished Vanity would leap into the air diagonally, flying towards the waters where the lone man was.

At about a second before Vanity impacted the waters, she would turn into pure air for just a moment, eliminating all impact momentum. She would have shifted back into normal form and land neatly on the water. Her location would be roughly 10 meters in front of where the guy she saw was. Vanity would turn to look directly at the man, who seemed just slightly younger than her, and simply ask "What are you doing here, exactly?"

Enter the Breeze

As Issac stood in the river the water rushed past. It felt good removing the grim of earth from his body, he began to wash his face splashing the cold water and rubbing off the dirt. He lowered himself and dipped his head under the water brushing his hair back as he rose standing straight up. The wraps around his abdomen had apparently been loose enough to fall off before he even woke. In just his shorts all of the wholes placed upon his body by the medic which performed the ritual to induct him into his clan were evident. The holes in his forehead and shoulders would be most noticeable. His stomach where his navel should be would actually be another void which a vine would protrude should the need arise.

Issac hadn't been paying enough attention to be on guard as the female descended upon his location. His body would tense as the words left Vanitys mouth.

"What are you doing here, exactly?"

Issacs eyes would focus on the young women who landed on the water a few meters away from him. His fists would clench under the water and he would bend his knees just slightly. He didn't feel threatened but he didn't know this person and after waking up in a ditch he wasn't taking any chances. Issac would take a breath before answering.

"I guess you could say I'm just washing away my past getting ready for my future. Please excuse me for a moment." Issac would place his hands upon the surface of the water lifting himself above the river as though it were the edge of a pool. His shorts would stick to his body and although modesty wasn't something he was concerned with the vine from his stomach would begin to ravel itself around his midsection leading down to about his knee looking like a green towel. Issac stood facing the female for a moment before speaking again. "Do you know this area. I'm actually in need of some new clothes, as you can see." He would end with a slight grin and gesturing to his almost nude body.

Issac was in need of some new gear and he wanted to get new clothes also. Things weren't the same anymore he didn't need to hide his lineage he wanted to show that he was a Zassou he wanted anyone who had a problem with it to address him personally and things would be handled on the spot. No more hiding, no more stalking the shadows. It was time for this Zassou to make his mark. His goal was no longer just chuunin, no. It was more but it would take time to make it happen and this female could help him get through the first step.

[[OOC Sorry Nira I need to be ready for upcoming exams pop over to Kusa if you still wanna RP with me]]

The female wouldn't do much as Issac waited his patients was being tried. He would gather his stuff quickly and be on his way. Her face however he would definitely remember tucking it away in his subconscious. "Well it was nice meeting you too." he would say giving a wave over his shoulder as he disappeared.
