Meikei Water Base - Civilian Quarters

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Hiro had calmly introduced himself and shared some information to his team. This was expected and the practical thing to do. Next up however was the Souka brothers. Renji, whom still seemed to be in a lazy mood started simply before his brother cut in. No sooner did Renji have a little outburst, clearly whatever it was Rei said touched a nerve... Takuya looked to hiro, a slight embarassed/surprise look on his features. All the same, the Souka brothers shared a small piece of info about themselves. "Hmm not bad, not bad at all." Takuya thought to himself as he began to slurp down some noodles. Once had a fair bit of his bowl, he'd speak up once more.

"Well then, since I already know everyone's speciality areas, I think it's best we talk about everyone's future goals, dreams. Also what time of missions you'd like to partake in." Takuya suggested, he chuckled a bit and then began to eat more ramen. With all the work that needed to be done the brief down time Team 5 would have wasn't going to last long. However he wasn't a mind reader so he couldn't tell what his daughter would assign his team to next. Though they could choose a mission when they walked in together.

No sooner would Takuya's bowl of ramen be finished and he'd order seconds.

[Renji Souka]

Renji could see the events replaying in his mind, and his eyes glazed over. He started to come out of it and could feel the tears swelling up behind his eyes, he felt bad for lashing out at Rei but he didn’t want to talk about it, not to anyone. He had Kensai promise not to talk to Rei about it and never spoke a word of what really happened to Rei either. Renji heard Takuya talking about goals and dreams, and something in Renji just kind of snapped. “Dreams?...future goals…who cares…I am out of here, if you go on another mission you can come find me…..” and Renji just sat up and got off the chair and started walking away.

He could hear Rei prop himself up and turn his chair “Renji, don’t go, come sit back down and fini..” and Rei was cut off by Renji who was walking away, he did even bother turning around “shut up Rei”

Renji walked out of the room and down the hall, he was holding tears back the whole time, he felt really bad about being so nasty to Rei. As he turned a corner he came upon the door to his room. Renji opened the door and walked in and shut the door behind him, as he stood there with his back to the closed door he could feel a sudden sharp pain in his right chest and shoulder where the scar was. He grabbed his chest with his left hand and started crying, it hurt to think back about it and it hurt even mre cause he was nasty to Rei and he hadn’t done anything to him. The pain went away enough for Renji to move, and he walked over to his bed and laid down, and after a few minutes he passed out

[niroku]

Rei Sat there and out of the corner of his eye he could see Renji was completely zoned out and didn’t seem to be ok, Rei knew he had struck a nerve and he wasn’t sure what would come of it. He heard Takuya say something about goals and dreams and upcoming missions and then almost as sson as Takuya was finished he heard Renji speak up “Dreams?...future goals…who cares…I am out of here, if you go on another mission you can come find me…..” Rei realized that Renji wasn’t ok and he saw Renji get up and start to walk away, and Rei turned in his chair and called out to Renji “Renji, don’t go, come sit back down and fini..” and the Rei was cut off by Renji who was walking away and didn’t even turn around “shut up Rei” was all Renji said as he continued to walk away and out of the room.

Rei knew that Renji had become very cold in the last few years, but even then he normally wasn’t that nasty to him. Rei just turned back to his bowl and looked at it, he had lost his appetite but he went back to eating anyways. Rei didn’t speak up he decided to let the silence go on for a bit more and let someone break it, he figured Hiro would most likely be the one to do it.

[hirohideoki]

"Hmmm..." He thought as he finished. There was not much that he could do now. He wanted to take some solo missions, but he would have to train and get stronger first. So he decided what he was going to do next. He lost his appetite all the sudden and stood up and bowed. "Thank you for the ramen sensei, I think I will go train now."

He smiled at his teammates and his teacher. "Summon me when anything comes up." He was always quick and short with his words. To the point just the way he liked it.

He turned around and headed to the doors. There was a lot he had to get done. He walked toward the door and with out looking back waved over his shoulder and into the halls.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Takuya sighed as little by little they'd all dispurse for training. He supposed it was just that time, they'd done two missions back to back. Some alone/personal time was due. Still he now had thoughts about Renji's outburst, what would drive him to do such and more importantly what was the story of the two brothers. With Hiro gone, he'd be left with Rei to finish up his noodles. Once Takuya was finished his bowl, he decided to motion over the girl whom entered the area. She seemed like one of the many mist genin whom graduated recently, "Oi, little lady...come here for a bit!" He'd call out, motioining for the Ekitai girl.

Girama stared at the Jounin who was calling her over. What could he want? How did he know her? Disdainfully, she got up from her stool, leaving her water behind on the counter. She walked across the pathway and looking at the Jounin inquisitively the entire time. When she reach the ramen stand, she stood to the side of the Jounin, next to one of the empty chairs. Clasping her hands in front of her, she asked "Can I help you? I don't seem to remember meeting you before."

Being caught a little off guard by the wink the twins would walk towards the Civilian Quarters. The normal trip would have been ten minutes, but due to a combination of the wink and boys poor sense of direction it took thirty. As he finally entered the Quarters with Ciel in tow he would say, "Sorry about that, poor sense of direction... Well this is the Civilian's Quarters." He would gesture aroudn the area taking in all that was in their sight range.

[psyche]

Ciel had followed the boys where ever they were totake her but they had seemed a bit lost there... for a moment. But she just chukled at their bad sense of direction, though she was one to talk. But hey atleast she had a reason. She just shook her head slightly and had kept on following. Now they had seemed to arrive at the Civilian's Quarters as the boy had said to her. "So this is where the village people are residing?" She asked, looking around, here and there. "It doesn't look so crowded." She commented as she did not see many people around, or maybe she had guessed wrong. Se would continue to observe the area until the boys answered.

|Ciel has Entered|

[tomoshibi]

Nodding Hikumi would say, "Yeah, this is where everyone lives... I think some people refused to leave their homes though and they all have their daily lives to go about so it's not that crowded right now." Looking aroudn he would see a small knot of people enjoying some ramen. Turning to face Ciel again he would smile, as if assuring her nothing too bad had happend.

Clearing his throat the Futakongo would say, "Next stop is the Mizukage's office.... Will that be your last stop or will you accompany me to the training grounds as well?" The boy truely hoped the Red locked Kunoich owuld join him at the training grounds. Thinking, though it did not truely show on his face, he wondered at the easy feeling he had around her. After she would answer the boy would turn and head to the office, he knew the way there much better.

[psyche]

Ciel listened to the boys words, this made her feel a bit uneasy, but when he smiled reasuring her she felt more at ease. Strange that she felt that way but for now she would not pay much mind to it. After hearing the boys proposal she smiled and with her hand on her ips and slightly slanted to her left she would answer them. "Well... You did say the Kage was out, so why bother going to see the office when it's just and empty room. How about I go with you to the training grounds and keep you some company while I wait for the Kage to return?" The girl suggested to them as she smiled brightly at them. She now wondered how the Traning Grounds would be. She had never had the chance to make one but hey the new Kage went ahead and made it. She would smiled and awaited their answer.

[tomoshibi]

The sweet melody of the kunoichi's words would waft into his eardrums. With a smile to match her's Hizuka would say, keeping the excitement from his voice, "That sounds good to me, though there is a Chuunin in the office. Shall we be off then?" After awating a response he would turn to exit he would head to the Training Grounds, rather than the Kage's office.

[Exit, unless there is more you want to say here]

[psyche]

Ciel would just grin and nod to what the boy said. She would follow them and chukle softly as she did.

|Ciel has Exited|

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

(Sorry, but I can't wait any longer, I need to train :/)

Girama sighed at the lack of a response as she walked away. "Rude people... they call you over and do nothing." She said as she walked towards the training field area.

-Exit Civilian Quarters-

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

OOC: aww it's fine Girama sorry I took so long =/

[Exit Takuya]

{enter Ayame with Minamoto}

It might have been a very weird spectacle for some of the civilians in that moment. A young woman, carrying a large giant over her shoulder. There wasn't much time to waste, she swirved by people as best she could until she reached the small portion of the base that the medic team used. Once she was inside, several other medical ninja rushed to her and got Minamoto onto a stretcher, he'd be carried off to the operation room to get the best treatment possible and quickly. Thanks to her speed, she would be able to save a life.

In the days to come, Kouketsu would find himself taking several lengthy visits to the medical facility where his body would be examined, stitched, dressed and healed. His wounds were far more than Kirigakure's medical staff had anticipated when they were told "we've got a case," but due to their surreal skill it was nothing they couldn't handle. He was advised to take it easy for a few days as to not damage any of the deeper tissue in his body; they wanted him to relax.

"I appreciate your kindness, ANBU," he said to man that'd helped him since he'd landed in Kirigakure; it was the Frog division leader. "Such is hard to find in this times."

Kouketsu could walk much better now though he still needed the man's broad shoulder for a crutch - he clung to it less and less as the days progressed.

[seppuku]

Rest, rest, rest.

His days were comprised of only this as his body adjusted to the advanced healing methods Kirigakure's medical staff induced him with. Every session, he could feel himself becoming better -- it would only be a matter of time before he was once more in his prime; the newly unlocked chakra within him also had a great deal to do with the entire thing.

Walking was their primary focus, followed by other mundane movements such as stretches and the like. Kouketsu, in solitude, would begin his own series of training and exercise - battling, that is, imaginary figures he plagued his mind with.

A warrior could not dwell too long in peace.

[seppuku]

Clip, clip, clip.

Finally, as his injuries had fully healed, Kouketsu was once more able to stand on his own two feet again. It felt invigorating to know he no longer needed the aid of his "crutch" to get around the many places within Kirigakure; he'd made a full recovery.

Now, it was once more time to change his appearance.

Lithe digits had found themselves coiled about a pair of scissors to trim the lengthy chocolate mane that hung loosely about his face, coiling thick locks into alabaster-clad rolls as to maintain the long bangs. His attire rather shinobi-like attire was exchanged for more simplistic cloth - a single ebony kimono lined his silhouette, egg-white garments beneath lining its hem. Lacking a sword, the samurai cliche was almost complete.

"Now, the Mizukage will truly see what it is that I am."

Once Akira reached the mini hospital he got Tai sent into a room to rest. Afterwards Akira found a place for him to rest.

[Runeska]

Tai's body rested now in the room he'd been brought to. He was still unconscious, his mind in a trance like state. Before long, one of the medic's assistants inspected his body. The assistant was a young female, about twenty, with brunette hair. She couldn't do much for the poor genin other than set him up nicely in one of the beds they had waiting for occasions like this. She'd surmised that his ribs were bruised, possibly fractured, obviously out of her range of expertise as a simple nurse. She left the injured genin on the bed to answer a few questions she had.



Walking outside the room, she had a clipboard in her hands. The other genin that brought him in was resting nearby. As she approached him, she asked, "What happened? He looks pretty beat up. Are you injured as well? Also, I'll need his name so I can identity him."
