New Ninja, New Team, New...Friends?

[Musouka Hissori]

Hissori was having a day around town. Well, he was more sitting on his roof. He was looking up at the sky, not really knowing what to do. He didn't feel like going to the dojo today, maybe he would go and check for missions. He decided just to take a walk before deciding on anything serious.

He jumped down from the roof and started to slowly walk towards no where in particular.

What a lonesome day, as usual. I wish I could make some friends. I don't think I would be as bored... and as lonesome.

Hissori found himself in a mob of shoppers who were excitedly crashing through the town, was there a sale or something. He jumped out of the crowd and planted himself laterally on a wall where no one could bump him.

[Shishikyuu Ken]

Ken had to get away from his mother's bar for a while, seeing as it was getting too crowded for his tastes. He made sure to sneek out without being noticed and head out into the village in search of something interesting to do in order to waste some time. After getting away without being noticed he made his way into the streets of the village.

The day was busier than most, probably people going through various shops. Things have been rather slow, with him at least, lately. Maybe a mission or some training could put him in good spirits, but first he needed something to take his mind off of the crowds.

Eventually he made his way over to the side of a building and remained in the shadows. Making sure that nobody was looking, Ken removed a flask from his pocket and took a swig from it. Being that the flask contained sake, Ken was sent into a drunken state. After staring up into the sky for a while he noticed someone else come to the side of the building.

Ken came out of the shadows in a slight swaying motion, and nearly bumped into the guy. Though, he was able to catch himself before hand. He began to speak in a partially slurred voice, "Hey Buddy, who are you hiding from." In a drunken decision Ken put his arm around the guy's shoulder and said, "Hey, you shouldn't be hiding back here. Go out and have some fun in the village. You can like train or something, or, hey LET'S GO TO A BAR. Or, maybe we can go visit the Kage and do something fun like a mission or something. I'm Ken by the way, genius genjutsu and katana weilding. And I know what you're thinking, that I'm some drunk. I'll tell you right now I can stop whenever I feel like it, just not right now."

[Musouka Hissori]

Hissori dropped down from the wall and slipped into the opening of an alleyway, possibly waiting for something interesting to happen, but just many people rushing about. He had no particular interest in anything going on so he decided to move on. Just as he was going to take a step someone nearly bumped into him, and started to speak.

The man was obviously drunk, his breath was rancid and he spoke slowly with a slur. Hissori jumped forward a bit while turning, he studied the man. after seeing he was a fellow shinobi of the cloud, Hissori eased up and took a step forward towards the man, not wanting to be rude, but the man sudden;y swung his arm around Hissori and continued speaking.

"That is... very nice to know..." Hissori said, trying not to inhale the putrid breath of this man. Hissori studied him and figured he was safe and he seemed to know what he was doing, Hissori didn't want to be rude so... "Uh... sure... I'll...go on a mission with you..."

[Shishikyuu Ken]

Hissori's comments seemed to quikcly sober Ken up, so that he could concentrate more efficiently. He slipped the flask of sake back into is pocket and patted Hissori's back. Removing his hand from around the guy's shoulder, he said with a smile in a much more normal and sober voice, "Now that's good to hear. Let's go. But, before we go on a mission we need a third man. Let's go find a training spot and see if we can find one."

Ken stepped out from the alleyway back into the crowd of the village. For a few minutes he just stood there looking in random directions. He scratched the back of his head as it was apparent he had no idea of a training stop location.

He turned back to Hissori and spoke, "Um...do you know of a good location? I didn't catch your name by the way. I cannot remember that well if I told you mine or not." Ken stuck out his hand as a friendly jesture. His mind then began to wander to what he was going to train while they wait for a third member.

[Musouka Hissori]

"I... I am... Hissori." Hissori gave Ken an awkward look, had he just changed personalities? Maybe he was bipolar or something. It would of possibly have been that he was drunk, but in a more normal state.

"No.. you didn't tell me your name." Hissori was a bit freaked out at how this guy thrusted himself upon him. He looked at Ken's hand as he pushed it out towards Hissori to shake. Hissori stared at it as if it were the plague. He took it and shook, deciding it wouldn't matter much since he was wearing gloves. "Nice to meet you.... uhh what was it?"

[Shishikyuu Ken]

Ken gripped Hissori's hand and gave a firm handshake. Letting go he sighed slightly and said, "Well, I'm Ken. Please don't tell anyone I was drinking, I like to keep it a secret from most people." He turned back to looking down the busy street, but then slapped himself in the forehead. He turned his attention back down the alleyway.

"I remember where a good training spot is now, and we can get away from these large crowd," Ken explained as he walked back into the alleyway where he met Hissori. "So Hissori, what is up with this whole quiet depressing thing? Nevermind, we just met, it is none of my busy. Anyway, let's get going. Just follow me, the spot is not too far from here."

Ken continued down the alleyway and built up a running speed. As he approached the end of the alleyway he approached an fence which he jumped over. Calling back he told, "Hurry up, you're too slow."

[Musouka Hissori]

Hissori studied the man closely. He was, in fact, still drunk. Because telling Hissori not to tel anyone he drinks is a bit... well it was kind of obvious he was drunk.

Before he knew it, Hissori was dragged off by Ken to a training spot. Not literally, but Hissori felt obliged and did not want to be rude s he followed Ken. Ken decided to ask some questions to which he answered himself. Hissori did not speak during this time.

Ken brought Hissori to a fence, to which Ken sprinted. Hissori didn't want to be beaten out, but decided not to show off. That is, until Ken decided to yell back for Hissori to hurry up. At a moments notice Hissori darted forward and cleared the fence, landing behind Ken. Hissori didn't know if Ken had noticed or not.

"Fast enough for you?"

[Shishikyuu Ken]

Ken was indeed impressed with Hissori's speed, and he gave a small smirk. "Seems like you have an ability in agility...cool, that rhymed. Anyway, let's get going, I don't think many know of this training spot, but we can't be too careful. I mean, if everyone was as good at me with this kind of stuff in our village we could take over the world or something. But, then again I would never do something like that. What was I talking about again...ah yes...to the training site."

He again sped off and had his way through the alleyways, and he called back, "It is just on the outskirts of here." Ken then made a sharp left turn and appeared in front of a large wall with building son both sides; a dead end.

Ken stood still and stared at the wall for a few moments and scratched the back of his head. He looked around the wall to see if there were anymore alleyways, but it was a completely dead end. "I could have swore that my training spot was here. It was a clear field with a few trees and some small animals so I can pratice genjutsu. When did they put a wall here? In fact, when did I come into town?" Ken said as he took a drink from his sake flask.

[Musouka Hissori]

Ken already seemed like a freaking wierdo to Hissori. Not to mention this guy never shut up. Ken was just rambling on about to Hissori was useless and pointless. Hissori was slowly losing hi faith in Ken as they came to a dead end.

"Are you sure you are in the right spot? You have been in town for a while, why don't you sit down or something?" Hissori was a little worried abou ken now. He seemed to be a mental case at the moment, Hissori didn't know what to do. He never experienced a drunk before, or not as bad as this one.

((Short i know, sorry. Not feeling well today.))

[Shishikyuu Ken]

"I could have swore that there was a training area around here somewhere. Oh well, we can improvise," Ken said with a slight smirk on his face. With this comment Ken jumped onto the roof of a nearby building and called back down to the emo guy, "Hey Hissori, forget the training grounds. The roofs of these buildings will work just as good."

Cupping his hands over his eyes, Ken looked over the horizon of the village. This was indeed a beautiful stop to train in, possibly better than an actual training ground. Because of the many buildings, it would be good training to fight in close spaces. He might even try to attempt some genjutsu on the town's people passing along.

"We couldn't have hoped for a better day to train. This spot is actually much better than the one I was trying to find earlier. Training on the roofs could give me some good practice in learning to move in close spaces with my Drunken Sword taijutsu style. Plus all of the people passing by on this busy day can allow me to practice some of my genjutsu that does not harm."

((Do you guys have a third team mate or you don't want one..??))

[Shishikyuu Ken]

((Our team is currently having some trouble, so I'll let you know over PM soon.))

[Musouka Hissori]

Hissori had stopped, he was getting kind of tired of this guy leading him to nowhere. However it was nice to have someone to talk to. Although, this guy was a drunk and couldn't possibly be any good to be around. Hissori was starting to feel uncomfortable and didn't want to train anymore. Instead of waiting around to train with Ken, he left. Using a Shunshin he got a bit father away and used his natural speed. He felt regret for leaving Ken, but it was the only way he knew how to.
