[ Divine Illumination. ] [P]

Incarnadine and crimson the sun would begin its descent onto the horizon, scarlet rays filtering the few ashen Grey clouds that lingered in the sky. Only a few, lingering hours until night proclaimed its sovereignty over the land. Yet, still so much needed to be accomplished. The Medical-nin from Sunakagure...she would need to be contacted. Made aware of the potential power she could wield within Souzen's dominion, made aware of the fact she lay wasting her talents in a village such as Sunakagure.

Soft sigh escaping his lips Souzen's thoughts would turn back to his village, Amekagure. Slowly and surely more and more of it was following underneath his sway. Already he had replaced the captains of the falcon, cat, bear and dragon AnBu divisions with his own "handpicked" protege's. Then a smile would creep its way upon his face as he remembered who had made his glorious return to the village possible. Mitsukai, the very name bringing a twinge of pride within his breast. Yes, she had made almost the perfect disciple. Her families influence coupled with her zealous passion making it possible for Souzen to re-enter the village under the guise of the Rokudaime.

Surely when the end had come, himself and Syaora passing on as Tendou was meted upon the world, she would begin the new era! She would lead the new generation. A new generation bereft of the former's malice, avarice and incapability to emphathize. She, as a being reborn would lead the world that Souzen had created.

Illusions of granduer still filling his head Souzen would barely notice the tell-tale signs of a visiter. The subtle shift of chakra within the vicinity, the gentle fall of her steps terra firma, even the way the gloom was suddenly dispelled from the current setting. It had to be her...

Mitsukai...

A combination of flight and running was used, showcasing her knowledge of her own body. The way she used both of her ways of transportation made her move as quickly as possible while keeping her close to the ground to not attract anyone if she had been flying into the skies. As she ran about a dozen of steps she would jump into the air, moving her wings forward, sending air behind her and propelling her for several dozen meters before landing once more upon her swift feet before continuing the running. She proceeded the mixture of both ingredients before she somehow felt her master's aura. She could never explain what she felt when she was around the man, yet she knew he was close.

Readjusing her glasses upon the frame of her nose, Mitskai ran the last few meters and soon she was a mere meter away from the taller man. Her eyes met his and she bowed before her, her long white wings folding themselves behind her back, making her more balanced to perform the courteous maneuver. Once she rose back to her full height she spoke in her usual melodious yet strict voice, it was full of passion. She had travelled a long distance to meet the Amekage, and now she wanted to spend a few moments with him before he would return to the exams.

My lord, I came as quickly as possible. I deemed Amegakure calm enough to leave it. How fair you in the examinations, Souzen?

[kujira]

"My lord, I came as quickly as possible. I deemed Amegakure calm enough to leave it. How fair you in the examinations, Souzen?"

The very sound of her angelic voice caused the blood in my veins to course like wildfire. Oh how long had I waited, had I yearned to hear it once again. With Syaora's absence from my side I had felt a particular melancholy overcome my spirit. No, my divine illumination craved the indulgence of true understanding. That was why I cherished both of them. One as the holy flame, guiding me upon the path to vengeance, the other as the wings which would take me onto the heavens.

Turning slowly I would let my azure gaze fall upon her kneeling form, my former mood dispelled by her presence. Smile etching itself into his countenance he would approach her, his voice piercing the silence that had fallen since her entry as his tone was haughty and confident, belaying the nervous feelings that lay within.

Tch, it was nothing more than child's play. More importantly, my guise is yet to be penetrated. Yet, much work remains before my task remains. Tell me, has their been any word from Syaora yet?

[-Angel of Ame-]

The wind picked upon upon the plain The God and his Angel stood upon. Her two braided ponytails lifted themselves from her back, and soon the wind made them dance slowly around her. The cold calculating eyes of the young Odayaka were set on Souzen's figure, only a few could notice the weak warm of their confines, she knew the Amekage could. Crossing her eyes upon her chest the kunoichi thought deeply about what the man said. No one knew that he was the leader of the Village Hidden in the Rain. The man's plans were moving smoothly it seemed. Of course the first exam would be the easiest, the next stages of the examinations would be harder, yet they would not be too difficult for a man as great as Kaede, Souzen.

She closed the gap between both of them with several straps. Her long wings stretched themselves and soon they hand envelopped the two individuals. She tilted her head upwards, her eyes meeting his. Her lips were a few centimeters from his. She knew the man had no interest in her, more than his own personal plans. She had no problem with that. Her clan required of her to marry to someone powerful, not necessarily to someone that loved her. Rank was more important than love her family taught her. Her lavender scent would be shared with the taller man.

She had tried in vain to find the whereabouts of Syaora. The woman had left the village not too long ago yet her current location was a mystery to Amegakure's Angel. She hoped nothing had fallen upon the woman as she was essential in the Amekage's plans.

I am afraid to tell you that I have no news of where she currently is. If I would have been given more information of where she had gone, I could have narrowed down my search, but alas I was given no piece of data.

Mitsukai whispered in the man's ear.

[kujira]

"I am afraid to tell you that I have no news of where she currently is. If I would have been given more information of where she had gone, I could have narrowed down my search, but alas I was given no piece of data"

The merest narrowing of indigo optics would be the only indication of Souzen's displeasure. Still no word from his goddess...it was quite perturbing. Even though her divine actions needed no explanation, being of the same inherent ideals as Souzen, it still perturbed him so. He yearned for her, his very mood becoming melancholy and dispassionate when he lingered upon her absence from his side. Consciousness set upon these most inhospitable thoughts Souzen would barely even notice the approach until Mitsukai had enveloped him with her wings, her petite frame pressed against his.

Curiously Souzen's own indigo optics would meet the azurity of Mitsukai's, even as the intoxicating scent of lavender wafted upwards. Yet, Souzen felt nothing. no nervous energy coursing through his body, no passion overwhelming reason, not even a base, menial lust. Even so, after the words had been whispered into his ear he would gently curl the digits of his right hand onto the nape of neck, the other brushing a stray strand of her ebon locks from her crown, even as a smile lit his features and he leaned in closer.

It matters not, Syaora will go wherever the whims of Tendou take her...

[-Angel of Ame-]

So close...

There had never been closer than this before. Her eyes narrowed as he spoke. Tendou... The word vibrated in her mind for a few seconds before she banished it. She had no interest in giving it some thought at the moment. Souzen's body was mere centimeters away, their lips almost touching the other's. The large wings tightened themselves around both of them, they were not squeezed together, yet the whole light was blocked out. She rose upon the tip of her toes and soon her lips met his. Her heart was pounding within her chest in protest, her hands were clammy as they clenched the man's shirt.

The kiss was a quick one, she had no idea what it symbolised. As her lips withdrew from his, so did her wings. They folded themselves once more behind Mitsukai's back. Amegakure's Angel turned her gaze away from the Amekage, unsure of what to say next. She took a pause before speaking, afraid that her words would stumble upon themselves and produce an unplanned jargon of sorts. She opted for silence, wondering what other task the man had in mind for her. Was she simply to wait during the exams, to cheer for him, or would she be given some sort of a mission for the duration of the exams? Would she be given a task that dealt with bringing people to their side?

[kujira]

Cerulean optics would stare in surprise, a single eyebrow cocked upwards as Mitsukai drew in Souzen’s stocky frame onto her lithe figure with her angelic appendages. Head lowered, Souzen’s countenance would still hold the same selfsome look of shock even as her slender hands gripped his yakuta tightly. Her lips would press against mine as an eclectic fire was lit within my body, burning deeply. At that moment the divine illumination that had guided my actions was suddenly snuffed out, no more was my consciousness attuned to the path strewn to heaven. No, everything was swept away in the ecstasy of that single moment. Delicately my hand would trace the curvature of her figure before resting on the small of her back. The other hand would remain upon the nape of her neck as I leaned in farther, delivering a passionate kiss in response to hers.

Yet, in the midst of that rapturous deliverance a vision would cross my mind’s eye. Auburn locks falling delicately from her crown, highlighted by the sunkissed tone of her skin. The emerald eyes that held me enchanted in her gaze as her lips lay locked in her perpetual smile ,Natsumi, the one who had captured his heart from the very first day she had been born. Then, with a sudden blink she was horribly transformed, her once blessed features contorting onto the rigors of death as flames leapt to turn her joyous figure onto ash. She had been the love of his life; the most cherished thing within his life. He would have lived to see her graduate from the shinobi academy, grow up, get married. But, it was all taken away from him. His daughter was gone…

These visions of horrendous nature filling his thoughts Souzen would tenderly pull away from the loving embrace of Mitsukai, his countenance set in a anguished expression. No doubt Mitsukai would pull away also, and Souzen would watch her turn his back to him. Then, with a sudden bright luminescence the divine light would return to him, no longer banished by the passion that had held him in thrall. Features now set in the confidence of the holy light Souzen would approach Mitsukai’s form, his mouth next to ears as he let the words whisper from his mouth.

Akemi Lattini…find out everything

[/u][/quote]

And with that he would be gone, the merest blurring of his figure giving trace to his movement…[/size][/blockquote]

[-Angel of Ame-]

She had felt the caress of their lips, both of his hands upon her body, she could even have felt the momentary passion coursing through both their bodies. Yet it all made no sense to her, what was behind it, as exactly when it had ended, Souzen seemed to feel a wide array of emotions. Mitsukai did take a gander at what he was feeling, he had probably be thinking about his past, of that day when his whole family, lover and child had been taken away from him. That day had changed the Amekage forever, she only hoped he would be stable enough to bring all of their plans to fruitation.

And so he approached her once more. She did not detect his intentions as her back was to him. A kunoichi usually would never turn her back to another, yet she trusted the man before him. She had no problem exposing her back to him. Her wings folded to her side as his lips approached her ear and whispered in them. A feeling boiled inside of her. The passion she had felt for the man had vanished momentarily.

"Who is Akemi Lattini?!?! Is she a girl you met? I am not a matchmaker I'll let you know!

The jealous had taken over her love for the man. Was he so quick to cast her away from the path that they had worked to build? Was he really exiling her for another? A girl that she had never heard of before. Her rationality and logic took over her obsessive nature though. She soon calmed down, proving that she was a master of her feelings. Inhaling deeply, the kunoichi spoke once more, her demeanor back to what the Odayaka had forged it to be.

Your wish is my command, my lord.

The kunoichi called out as she ran away, her longs angelic appendages unfolding to her sides as they waved downward with strength, sending her flying into the heavens.
