It was a clear and Beautiful day in the Grass capital city of Aokusa. And the medic walked through the Streets Looking for the town Square, Thinking that might be there the Bard was at. The blind girl easly moved through the streets, there was more then enough noice to give her a clear picture of her surroundings. Her violin case Swung silently From its strap wich was attached to her belt, on both of hher legs where twin holsters, each containing 2 parts to her walking Staff. On her belt was her butt bag and inside where her blood clot pills, Sensory polls, Sound bells, and Smoke grenades,

She finally reached her destination, the town square was a huge pavilion, with a giant Marble Fountain in the middle. The girl Focused her hearing but could not hear any music. So the Bard was not here. But he was bound to make and appearance. She would wait him out. She Set down the amp next to the Fountain, and opened her violin case. She plugged the interment into the amp and made some adjustments. She decided the best way to draw out a Bard was with music. And that was her plain. As she played she surveyed her Surroundings. The Square had several small shops in it and Booths selling local goods anywhere there was an opening. People traveled from Booth to shop buying items for their daily life’s. She knew her new Friend would be along shortly, she had lost him when they entered intot he city, but he knew where she was going, and she was confident he would find her.


Song she is playing.

[Enter: Undertaking same mission]

Ryosuke steadied his view of the area, while having his search partake and continue on. Dressed as a butler of sorts, his twin swallow tail coat adorned on him while under was the white button up shirt while the coat and then also the fitting tie were black. White gloves adorned to hide the holes in his hands while his grass ninja headband warped his head to hide the hole there as well. Black slacks followed by the black dress shoes also aided his appearance while on his back was the carry case of the cello, around the neck of the case was his utility belt filled full of kunai. Moving about though was easy, his eyes scanning the area with an ease about himself as he kept at what he did best while listening and waiting for some sign.

Ryosuke had taken to the roofs, scanning the market center of the town where he heard music, the song that was being played was very unfamiliar while still had a nice ring to it. His feet knew the melody while he looked down and around the area. Then he saw his partner for the mission, Reuka, playing what looked like an odd piece of equipment but was really the electric violin. The particular sound was not his favorite but it was one of those that he enjoyed due to being a string musician himself. Jumping down and then walking out from the alley he jumped in to move towards the girl he noted, “I could not spot him anywhere outside the central district. You sure he will show?”

Such questions were asked while he had begun to set up his own cello and began to play alongside the girl, following the tempo and adding a bass sound to what she played. The melody added the special twist and though he was only an expert of the music, he was no genius but mistakes would not be noticeable for a simple song as this. In more complicated pieces perhaps, more than likely a mistake showing only once per complicated song though.

The weather was nice in the city on this spring day. There were people bustling about the town square. Birds were singing. The smell of fresh foods wafted from place to place. And, my goodness. There was violin music going on in the square. Damnit. Just when it looks like a nice day, some other bards have to come and compete with my. There was the sound of a Cello too. They were playing some relatively simple melody. Thats rubbish. Who wants to listen to that?

So I would parade across the town square and exam the players. My garb was a bit old-fashioned, such a nice old dress, it may make it stand out a little bit, but that was unimportant. I had my violin case over my shoulder and my coin in my purse as I approached the pair of bards.

I couldn't help but judge them from across the square. The one, she has an electric violin. She can't produce enough volume of sound by herself. Pathetic, really. To depend upon an amplifier is to openly show your weakness. I would quickly remove my violin and play a more difficult piece of music. I was rather talented and could easily out-play the pair of them. Especially the cellist, who was making it apparent this is his skill level. My violin playing may not be as loud as the electric one, but my piece would be technically difficult. Bach's "Concerto in E Major" would provide an excellent level of challenge for me, and draw more attention towards me than to the pair across the square.

OOC: I'm rather insulted the mission described me as a "he."

[Blind Medic]

Reuka continued to play as Ryosuke joind her, they played the song. And she could not help that he was missing notes every now and again. As the Song came to a close, she noticed the girl on the other side of the square. She was holding a violin case, and as far as Reuka was conserned She was the closest thing to a bard they had seen. ” you were saying she was not going to show?” the girl said flashing the boy a smile. She waited till the end of the song befor picking up her equipment and walking Towards the Girl.

” well hello there, I am Reuka. And I believe I’m looking for you.”the girl said looking the girl in the eyes. The ninja forgot sometimes that it creped people out to see nothing but white Staring At them From the girls eye sockets. ”I figure the best whay to find a bard in a city this big is Be one yourself, and they will come looking for the competition. Reuka said, Flashing the girl a smaile.

[Father 'Suke]

Ryosuke had finished up the playing, his eyes having finished up to spot the individual who was a girl aside from what the mission had told. His eyes looking and judging while possessing his view of this individual. Once finished he set the instrument to the side, packing up as he remembered something, something that took some sense out of him. Thereby, he moved and after gripping all of his equipment and gear and waved Reuka off, “I do apologize but I remembered something that I have to do back in the village so I am going ahead. By the looks of her, she is not that much of a target, and I would say you can handle the rest from here. Farewell," and with that he turned on his heel, hand waving off while moving out.

The enemy, I mean fellow, bard would approach from across the street. It was at this point I realized she was wearing her headband. The sure-fire mark of a ninja. It was on her head, parting her hair. Although being used as an accessory, this was a symbol of a very important organization. And hopefully, a symbol of being my ticket to the bloody ninja village. She was not an unattractive woman. Of course, that shouldn't be my focus.

The woman approached me and said she was looking for me and her name was Reuka. Score. This was my escort, my opportunity to go to the village hidden in the grass. She said that being bards looking for bards had proved helpful, and I guess I agreed. Even if she was a rubbish bard. But she was a ninja. A bloody ninja, escorting me.

"Hello. Juliana, nice to meet you. I assume you were sent to bring me to the Village of Kusagakure? A violinist sent to escort me, huh? Serendipitous or clever planning?" I would say in a melodious voice. She was giving me quite the odd, dead stare. Her eyes were white, obviously blind. A blind bard. A blind ninja bard, to boot."Yes. You certainly found me pretty quickly. She smiled at me, and I was relatively happy to smile back.

"And I hate to end the pleasantries, but whats the procedure for all this? Secret ninja pat-downs? I'd rather preserve my modesty if at all possible." I would say to the girl before a short laugh. I'd rather be pat down by a blind girl than the male I'd seen with her earlier. But, regardless, this was going to be an adventure.

[Blind Medic]

Reuka smiled as the other girl Mentioned the past Down, Well at least there was no need for the. the girl though to herself. As the People moved by she used the force of their footsteps to see what the Bard was packing. Other than the violin, she was only packing some kind of grenade. Which was easily countered if it came to that. Knowing the girl was not a huge threat set Reuka at ease a little, she pondered for a split second as to what the Girl was capable of but quickly returned to her senses.

” ok well the procedures is relatively simple.” The girl started. ” Since you posses nothing other then you violin and some Grenades I can take u straight to the Village as soon as u are ready. the Girl continued to say, Not looking away From the Girl. ” Once we are outside the Capital gates, I will cast a Genjutsu on you, Putting u in a sensory Deprivation Field. I am not allowed to let u know the location of my village. And since my College has seemed to have left. “ the girl said moving her head around.

” I do apologize; normally we would just blindfold you. But since I am blind, I have no way of making sure u cannot see. So I am forced to do it this way. the Girl said as she turned her head back towards the Traveling bard.

[Y]

The girl would explain to her the process. Being blindfolded would have been much nicer than being put in a genjutsu illusion, but probably wise. After all, as a Bard, I could probably tell where I was going with my ears. And I really would rather not know the location of the village. I don't need ninja hunting me everywhere I go. Regardless of how cruel the treatment of a such a pretty bard as myself seemed, it did seem within reason.

"Well, that seems rather fair. Although walking will be rather difficult in a sensory deprivation field. I'm not really familiar with that, mind you." I would ask her, trying to keep my voice as pleasant as possible. "If you could at least explain to me what I'm doing before I do it, that would be grand." I would continue on, looking at the girl. I couldn't help but think about what kind of capabilities can make a girl my age, who is blind, into a hardened ninja.

"And, not to pry, but once I arrive at my destination, what will happen to me there?" I would finally ask as we begin to walk out of the city.

[Blind Medic]

Reuka walked next to the girl as they moved through the Capital towards the exit to the city. ” well as far as what will happen to you, that is up to the kage. My job is to just deliver you to the Ambu at the Village gates. the girl said looking at the girl. The pair moved quickly through he town, and soon reached the outskirts of the Capital. And it was time to blind the giil, and take her to the hidden village. She reached intot he holster at her side and drew two of the sticks from her staff, once they where put together the girl gave the end a twist and it turned into a walking stick.

”I’m going to have you hold onto the stick, you will not feel the stick in your hands. But if I move Your arm will as well, this way I can lead you even when u don’t have your senses.” when the other girl was ready the Girl Would cast the Genjutsu, rendering the girl without any senses. She would then lead the girl away from the Capital and towards her home town of the village hidden in the grass.

[Exit]

[Y]

The girl would explain to me that she was simply sent to deliver me. That seemed pretty obvious; she didn't appear to be a super elite ninja. Of course, she referenced the shadowy Ambu operatives who I had sang many a song about. The real details about the Ambu were unknown. I was not even a little nervous though, I've got to keep my life lively somehow. And if this isn't lively, you can shoot me.

She would tell me to hold onto her stick so she could guide me. I was a little insulted, that she had to have a rather long stick between me and her in order for her to lead me. She wouldn't even hold a sensory-deprived girl's hand. Well, I guess thats fair. She wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea about us. Besides, what blind girl can appreciate my beauty?

"All right. Let's do this." I would put away my violin before she used her genjutsu on me, and began to lead me to the village.
