Assisting Ichiro

1/5

The young girl would arrive here with little to no effort. These places here seem to be a hop, skip, and a jump down the road from each other. The purple hair of the female would move behind her as she walks into town and begins. Uncapping the ink and the brush, she would walks slowly and sketch as she goes. Though hers do seems a bit more detailed with what she sees. The gate she makes clear with a few extra brush strokes, the main entry is detailed with shops and a small market place.

The young lady would move slower and actually stop and scan things on occasion. Though she isn't sure why she is doing this. Is Aiko really as shallow that she would do something like this for just a little lovin from the opposite sex. Well of course, judging her family she just seems to be more like her mother. Her mother was a prostitute for most of her life. Then she met dad, they stayed together until she died. But still she knew what it was like to feel like someone liked what they saw.

Maybe that is why Aiko is so promiscuous. No lovin in her life. No matter really, she doesn't sleep for money. Just some occasional love she lacks. The purple haired woman would shake it off and get back to her sketch. Turning the pad to the left as she would take a left down a side street sketching what needs to be there before returning to the main drag.

2/5

Aiko would wonder for what seems for an hour through some of these side streets. It is one of those cases that if she is helping such a fine man as Gouzentaru is, she wants to be quite through. Though stopping to look at an important marks so that she gets it right, some punk decides he is going to try and rob her. She would hold her items of interest and perform a single forward high kick, catching him under the chin. He hits the ground unconscious and Aiko simply walks over the top of him, wiping her boots on his chest as she passes.

The young lady would be careful with all she sketches. It is important to make details clearly and not smudge it. The need of these blue prints do not fall on deaf ears for the girl. Though to speed along the man might get her some attention later.

She would complete the strokes on the landmark and move on down the road, stopping again on occasion to trim out the details on the blue print. Though it being a blue print as the term goes, is it truly a blue print or is it more like a map? Also who might actually use this? Hopefully someone that would make a very good use of it. Perhaps cripple the country? This place is so weak in reality that anyone running from it would be better off by far.

The lady would smile and stop again at a court yard. She would begin to sketch a new addition. Scales don't add up but on Blue prints they never do. Other wise it would be a huge sheet of paper. People pass her by and think nothing of her. That is actually good. No sense in allowing them to think of her doing nothing more then survey work.

3/5

Aiko can't help but wonder if there is any point to her doing this. A question that keeps poping through her mind as each small stroke would grace the page on her own arm. Though for a moment she is forced to stop. There is a matter of nearly stepping on something, but causes her to drop some of what she has carried.

Luckly the ink didn't break. In a fast motion, she kept the brush from hitting the ground. The paper she maintained. That is the luck there. She can't help but wonder if it is worth it. Walking over to a small wall, she sits the papers and such down to adjust her left boot. Her toes hurt now, but she has felt far worse then that. Her dad's way of making sure she always got her lessens would be the answer to that. Moving the dagger off of her leg, she would reposition it and pick up the stuff again.

A stroke or two would show the wall and the missing chunk of ground that hurt the girl's foot. No matter really, but a detail is a detail. She actually watches where her feet go now. With a town being as worn down as this one is it is no wonder that their hospital isn't more active then it is right now.

With a few more strokes, she finishes the street and moves on to the next here...

4/5

Moving right along, she can't help but laugh at how easy this is coming. A brush stroke here and a brush stroke there and now there is a detailed area that makes it easy for one to find on a map. Though she can easily see why this is refereed to as the Homely woman's town. Some of them here are old and some here are also terrible to look at. OH the ironies.

As she nears the center of town and the last overly large section to detail, the young woman would be a bit more careful with her foot falls. No need to rush things and fall over her own feet. The roads need so much construction that maybe they can petition the Leaf Village to get next to cheap and easy work done.

That is another thing that Aiko can't get over when it comes to Shinobi. They really do cheap stuff like this when they should really be doing what Assassins are known for. Perhaps that is why her dad tried to kill a Yukikage. He got tired of doing cheap shit. Though she can only hope he gets locked up somewhere and she not have to deal with him again. Little chance of that happening.

Well back to the strange blue print that she is forced to make. She would dab the brush back into the ink and continue along as she has done. A stroke here and there to make up for what she almost walked past, and then on to the next area. She can see exactly how Gouzentaru can balance it all against his arm like that. It is becoming quite comfortable.

5/5

Aiko stops at the last section and has to clean the brush a moment. Though it seems that Gouzentaru bought some ink that is clumping some. That could also be her fault because she has left the ink uncovered. She sighs and mixes the ink with a tad of water and then continues on with the job at hand.

The young mercenary female would proceed to lift the brush and dab it back into the ink. Details here involve that of the last of the space to fit in a trio of capital related buildings. Then she would be complete. It is a difficult task to squeese them into place and she sits down and edges it out carefully. Down ward and then up ward. She is careful to make the capital building, and then carefully as she did with the other, she would edge in a records building, and a small court house.

Sitting back, she would stare at her work and let it dry for a few moments. And when it is all good, she would roll the scroll back up and cap the ink. Now all she has to do is get back to Gouzentaru and she would done with the task. Still she sits there for a few moments and slowly pulls herself to her feet and stretches. All done she would head toward the gate to leave this place of weirdness. She would skip along only to stop for a brief smoothy at a smoothy shop.

"Ah Mangosteen." She would take a large and be walking back down toward the gate. The same one from before would look upon the woman and she would give them just a look and he would quickly run the other way. A Laugh would fall from her lips and the woman would skip off into the woods.
