Back to Mist...

[psyche]

As Ciel arrived in the land of water, she wondered how the village was and what had happened while she was gone. She had no idea what she was to see or expect from the village. She also had a feeling most of the shinobi that recided in Mist thought of her as dead, more than likely. She also knew that there was another Kage and that she was no longer in charge, though she had a few plans to make out of herself and to propose the new Kage, whoever she or he was.

She also wondered how the new Kage was, if that person was doing good with the village and all. She so did not want to come across the old geasers of the council. She knew they were going to give her problems and make her go crazy butshe was not ging to find out unless she started to move about to find the village. No one seemed to be about and she needed to find someone to guide her some. Having being in a sort of coma was bad and left one brainless and almost dead. Though she had gained her strength back and was ready for anything that came her way. But for now she would wak among the trees that sorrounded her, trying to pin-point the village.

The twins would exit the baseand walk aroudn for several minutes. They knew not where they were going, just that they needed to go somewhere and think. They had their fathers old notes in their pocket and wandered through the trees, wondering if they should use them or wait for a more formal teacher. As they walked a woman would be caught in Hizuka's view, wandering to some unknows destination.

No where to run, no where to hide, they were likely in her view already. With a slight sigh Hizuka would to his best to hide Hikumi's head, they had no clue how this stranger would act, and raise an arm to wave in greeting to the stranger. As Hizuka waved Hikumi would slip one finger out slowly behind the sword guard and loosen it within the sheath. As the finger retreated within Hizuka would lower his hand, Hikumi ready to strike if need be.

It had been months since she had come across this desert of mist, though in the distance she could see a figment, or maybe she was just seeing things. Rubbing onto her eyes a bit, she focused enough to see if it was indeed someone and it was. As the person came into view it seemed that it was a young male, or more like males. This remimded her of that time with the twins that had been in her office. They had been so surprised to have known it was two instead of one. She guessed it was a gift or something, though she could not notice where their headband was. Hers was not much visible since it was located on left thiegh.

Moving forward, she had a feeling these young man were going to be ready and attack if she showed any sings of aggression, though she was not about to show any, but just in case she reached slowly for a kunai and held it in her right arm. She would then come to a stop . Her left arm would start to raise upwards and then with her middle and index finger she would wave. A smile on her face. "Excuse me, are you a shinobi of Mist?" She would ask first. Keeping her eyes on the boys though she would act as if she did not know there were two.

A strand of red hair would fall on her face, her purple eyes would stillbe on the young man. "Umm.... I am looking for Mist and it seems that things have changed a little around here." She said as she kept on looking, she did not know how dangerous they could be and she needed to be careful. She had an idea what they could do and being extra careful never killed... But she would put the kunai away and her right hand would go to her hair and play with it since it was in a pony tail. One of her garments started to chime a bit, anther started to spin. Then her left hand would be place on her hips. "Do you think you can help me?" The young woman asked the boys. She just hoped they were not shy and would run away, but now to wait for the boys answers.

[tomoshibi]

Brushing his snowy locks from his face he stepped a bit closer to get a good look at the female. Lookgin her up and down he saw her, noting the kunai as it was drawn and replaced and her red locks, which were tied up in a ponytail. Looking down to check for any otherweapons he would note the headband tied around her thigh, the Mist symbol engraved on it like the one on their left bicep. As he relaxed he would continue to observe the purple eyed female.

Noticing her attractive form Hizuka's hazel orbs would widen slightly and he would lick suddenly dry lips. Clearing his throat he would say, "Hey... We're Hizuka and Hikumi... Who would you be and why are you wandering around if you are of our Village?" he had decided to tell her, figuring she would know of his Kekkei Genkai by now, yet they were still suspicious and Hikumi would remain ever ready.

[psyche]

Ciel grinned now as the the boy spoke to her. They were somewhat friendly, they still seemed not to trust her and they were in good reason to be. Now they had approched closer towards her she could notice that they were infact nin from Mist and was a bit relieved. Though for some reason she could not help but feel as if she was being watched too much. Well that did not matter, she just needed someone to direct her to the new Kage.

Now to find ways to explain why a Mist nin was lost in her own village. Wow that was going to be hard since she did not remember having seeing him when she had been Kage. She would sigh softly and look at the boy. Both hands would travel on her hair putting her bangs back but returning to their place. "Hmm... how to start..." She whispered as she found the right words to say things. Her right hand would move to her nose and she would scratch it some, then it would be place on her hips and her left hand would be placed on her mouth.

"Well you see... I had been gone for quite a while from the village and I have not been here to see the things that have happenedsince the last female Kage was here." She explained to the boys, though still she was not revealing who she was. "Oh yes, sorry for being so inpolite. My name is Ciel." She said with a smile on her lips. She just hoped they didn't remember her because it was going to be something, or maybe not. "So yeah, that is why I am lost right now." She said placing her right hand on her hair and started to rub her head some.

[tomoshibi]

Scratching the back of his head at the mention of a female Kage Hizuka would blatantly state, "Never paid much attention to the Kages when we were younger..." Smiling sheepishly at his own ignorance he would comment slightly at her name, "Ciel... A beautiful name to match a beautiful woman."

Quickly he would steps to the side and bow, sweeping his arms out to gesture towards the direction he had come. All would seem to be pleasantries, or so he had hoped, the main reason he had done it was to hide the slight blush that had crept into his face. Quitely berrating him Hikumi would say, "You and your flapping tongue." Awaiting her to reach him and for the blush to fade he would remain bent.

Hikumi was constantly watching, ready to stop any attack. In an attempt to ease the tension the Futakongo would say, "The Village has been vacated and the shinobi have relocated temporarily, I'll guide you to the present Head Quarters... I should also add the present Mizukage isn't in right now so you'll have to wait for her to return like us." After a little tohught he would say silently to himself, "The ANBU guarding will be able to clear the mystery about this stranger..."

"Never paid much attention to the Kages when we were younger..."

When she heard the boy say that she felt a bit reliefed although she knew they would get more suspicious and all and would be too alrmed about her. But she would have to relax so they would not get suspecious or anything like that, she just wanted to get to the Mist and talk to the Kage. As she left her thoughts alone she listened to what the boy said next.

"Ciel... A beautiful name to match a beautiful woman."

Now that the boy had said that, she wondered how old they were. They were not old but they were not so young, even though the boys seemed a tad bit taller than her, they seemed young still. Well she was not old but hey age difference could be seen. Besides their face were young. But she would smile at the compliment. "Why thank you, Hizuka-kun." She said bowing as he did, though she wondered why he was still bowing.

Ciel would walk towards were they were, looking at both of them she wondered what he was hiding. She would shake her head slightly and look forward where they had pointed. So... that way is where the village lies. I could have guessed but it seemed so different from when I was in charge.' She thought to herself as she then listened to the boys next words.

"The Village has been vacated and the shinobi have relocated temporarily, I'll guide you to the present Head Quarters... I should also add the present Mizukage isn't in right now so you'll have to wait for her to return like us."

She was not sure how to take what he had said but the feeling she had had before entering the land of water came to be. Things seemed bad and was now wondering what had happened while she was away for this whole while. "Tell me, how come the village had to be relocated? Or more like why are you not in Mist?" She asked as she would start to walk and hoped that they would follow her. "Also how come the Kage is not with you?" She asked once more wanting more info on the things that were happening in Mist. She just hoped that the Kage would not take long.

[tomoshibi]

As he rose from the bow a barely perceptible flush of crimson still stained his cheeks which had deepened at her words. Stealthily Hizuka would bite the inside of his cheek, hoping she would not notice. Quickly he turned to face the direction of the base and was about to speak when the kunoichi spoke.

"Tell me, how come the village had to be relocated? Or more like why are you not in Mist?"

Wanting to give a Foreign Nin, he would say vaugely, "The village is merely undergoing special Renovations... Nothing you need to concern yourself with." Before he could speak again she would say something else.

"Also how come the Kage is not with you?"

To this he would give the whole of what he knew, "I don't know... Our belief is that she's out on a mission of peace. Now if you'll come with us we can take you to the base and you can setup an appointment with the Kage, or just go when we go." Without another word he would begin to walk off in the direction of the Base, making sure only Ciel was following them.

[Exit, unless you have anything else to say...]

[psyche]

Ciel noticed them start to show her the way and she was glad. Though as she heard them speak she just nodded. "I see..." She said as she just followed them.

[Sorry for being so short. Ciel has exited]
