Finding the village

[hotoka]

With a big grin on his face Hotoka was finally going to leave the tea country. But rather than going to his family reunion he went to the snow country. For some reason the fact that he could stay away from his sisters some more really made him happy and within seconds that he recieved the hawk he grabbed his bags and left. After getting a ticket for the boaty going to snow he rushed towards it and hoppen on, right before it left.

Now on the boaty he simply had to wait for four days. A bit relaxed he sat back, making sure he stayed away from water due to personal reasons. o.o As he got somewhat sick several times the boat had already traveled for ten hours and Hotoka started to get quite bored, after he had thrown up. With a silent grunt he lied back in his bed and simply tried to get some sleep.

That 'some' sleep turned out to be thirty hours, rather than the eight he planned. Not complaining though, he made a short walk around on the boaty. A soft yawn came out as he watched all the passengers amusing themselves with the most boring things and he quickly got sick of it all, returning to his room. Once in his room he simply ploffed back and rest a bit. He didnt really had anything to do and tried to sleep, again.

He actually fell asleep though and only woke up, an hour before the boaty reached the snow country. He quickly gathered his stuff and sat on the deck, waiting for it to reach its destination. Minutes slowly passed as he finally saw something that was supposed to be land, snow as far as the eye could see. Once the boat arrived he got off, and headed to the snow village.

Now finally in snow, he needed to find the snow village. A bit of a shiver went down his spine as he felt the first snow flakes falling on his chest. With a quick pull he closed his hoodie and wrapped the robe around him as well and started running towards the general directions he was given. As the snowy landscape passed by he noticed that he had to run faster and faster to make sure he didnt got cold or anything yet had to keep his speed away from top speed as sweating at this moment didnt seemed like a good idea.

As he saw a small village he rested there a bit, while making sure his headband was hidden inside one of the many pockets of his pants just in case. Once there he asked for some directions again and directly ran right towards the place they pointed at. As he ran on for another couple of hours he saw yet another village and again, rested and asked for directions. This patern went on for almost two days when he finally saw something that looked like quite a big village. As he walked closer he walked towards two people who stood at the gate, asking them whether this was the hidden village of snow or not.

[Kareza (Kai)]

(You reached the main gate of the Snow village)

~Guards~

The guard watched ahead as he saw a figure coming to the direction of the village. It had not taken long before the person arrived asking the guards if this was the Snow Village. "State your business, traveler. I have not seen one like you before. Where did you come from and why did you come here?" The two guards stood at opposite sides of the gate and the one on the left was asking the questions. "Wait, Senko. Maybe this is the traveler that Yukikage-sama told us about. What do you think?" "You know Zaraki, you may be right. Hmm... I want him to answer my questions first. We can't be too sure." The guard turned back to the stranger giving a strong stare.

~Kage Assistant~

There was one lone firgure which could be bearly seen nearing to the village gate. After a few minutes, the person arrived breathing heavily. "Huff, Huff...I-I'm here! Will you guys please open the gate!? I must escort the traveler to Yukikage-sama's mansion!" The heavy, large gate completely encased in ice and snow separated thus parting the two sides further and further until people were allowed to slip through. "I'll take it from here Senko and Zaraki." The young woman said walking in front of the young man with a soft smile. "Hello there. I'm Rinko and I'll be your escort. The young woman turned back around towards the village and started walking thinking that the young man would follow. After all, it would only be a 30 minute walk.

~Kaisen~

It was another day, and Kaisen had just awaken. He was already getting ready for he had an important meeting with a kage assistant of the Cloud Village. He ran out of his house leaving his grandparents with a farewell. Ten minutes later, Kaisen had arrived to the Kage's mansion. He took a seat in the large chair behind the desk as he waited for his guest.

With a new headband around his head Hotoka got out of the village with not too much trouble and he quickly ended up away from the village. All he had to do now is speed back to his village, and report to the kage. "Just go south" kept echoing in his head. He kept running through the snowy wastelands and this went on for hours and hours. It rushed by underneath his feet and eventually, after another couple of hours, he saw a small village. After asking for direction, clearly in a hurry, he shot away again.

By now he had taken a soldier pill and clearly used it, as his speed rose fast. The snow underneath his feet slowly started to change into a somewhat more mountain-ish landscape and it didnt took long before he had reached some mountains. After climbing around and over them he shot down again, and simply kept running. He was pretty sure that if someone was out to get him they would take their chance whenever possible so he had to hurry back to his own village, safe in the hands of the local ANBU. As the snow finally completely dissapeared he was pretty sure of it, he now was in the Lightning country.

As he kept running Hotoka was finally in the cloud country. The mountian-ish landscape rushed by as well as trees, rivers and others. He had been running for three days now and almost only lived on soldier pills, which began to take its toll on his body by now. As blood was dripping out of his mouth on his cloak he saw a somewhat more familiar landscape and after another couple of hours he finally saw the village of the hidden cloud. His body completely collapsed and rolled further for a couple of meters as soon as he reached the village gate. A soft groan came out as he mumbled something like "I.. I did it.." and was carried away to the hospital in no time.
