The Birth of Kohaku

[hotaru]

Because of her high ranking, Hotaru would need to attend the exams under an alias. With a sigh, she removed a kunai from her item pouch and sliced through her long hair, leaving only a fraction of the length still attached to her crown. Hair dye was applied to change its hue from ink black to a chestnut color, and contact lens’s were inserted into her eyes to dull the bright crimson glow. Her favorable white kimono had been traded in for something more…revealing. A short white “skort” covered her hips and a half blue shirt now draped over her body. It was strange to be someone else…but it felt good. Swinging the newly delivered blade over her shoulder, and the rest of her non essential gear sealed in scrolls strapped to her ankles, she would make her way to register for the chuunin exams. Her new name was Hanakora Kohaku. With a new spring in her step, the girl bound through the forests on her way to Hi no Kuni, Kusagakure Headband worn proudly around her forehead.

Bounding through the trees, of the fire country, there was a lot less fire then she expected. Though it was home to the village hidden in the leaves, she expected to at least come across a volcano or…at least a geyser. The easiest way to get to the sea country was by boat, so the Hanakora headed towards the salty breeze blown in by the sea. As she traveled, she took the time to examine her new weapon. As she pulled the metallic blade from its sheath, it dripped with a deep purple liquid. Poison. She was familiar with this kind of poison…it was that of the Zassou…a powerful agent of terror on the battlefield. Thanks Issac. As she neared the docks, she hopped onto a ship just leaving the docks that would head for Sea country. She was a bit behind schedule…but hopefully would arrive on time.
