A Destined Meeting! -Casual- (open)

[Image In the Falls]

The start of a bright new day was upon Takigakure, the sun blooming over the tree tops as its rays beamed down with a mild heat. As it was a great day for Takigakure, so was it for Shigure. With his new ninja headband, swung ever so slightly around in neck in his long strides, the boy looked to be pleased with himself. Fresh out of the academy, Shigure had the spark in his eye to prove his worth, however way possible.


Such was his luck that the chuunin exams were underway - whether or not many of the Takigakure genin traveled to the chuunin exams - and the village still seemed a little sparse. This didn't stop the fire in his eyes none whatsoever, it actually burned brighter because of it. Even though Shigure was young, his mind was well above its years. H knew if the genin left for the chuunin exams, they would come back stronger, thus providing the village with a better militant force.


With this new found confidence in himself, the young genin stopped moving, his headband finally resting right above his collarbone. As he paused, he reached for a drink of water from a bottle attached to his rather expensive looking pair of blue colored khaki shorts. Taking a drink, a small amount of water sloshed out of the bottle and dripped down his loose grey t-shirt. It didn't take long for the boy to notice, quickly brushing it off with his left hand. The sun at this time began beaming down on Shigure's auburn hair, sending rays of light through the strands, making it appear a little lighter than it actually is. It didn't take long for his momentum to die down some, his wide smile drooping into a stoic look, his forest green eyes sweeping over the nearest parts of the village, not knowing what to do with his time.

It was a boring day all around. Akiyo ambled slowly through the village, a look of boredom stretching across her face. Day was just breaking, causing her to squint slightly against the light, her village insignia reflecting the sun sharply to her left. In her right hand, she twirled a small stick, fingers flicking swiftly to keep it forming a circle. Her bone-white hair hung free down past her shoulders, not bound up. A triangular mark extends past her eye and sticks out against the pale tone of her skin.

As she moved down a street, she noticed the fellow Takigakure ninja in front of her suddenly stopped moving and reached for a drink at his waist. Likely colliding sharply into his back, unless he managed to start moving, she'd give a surprised and annoyed yelp, followed by a lecture.

"Hey buddy! You can't just stop in the middle of the road like that without warning people!"

Shigure continued to view the expanse of the village, not a care in the world as many villagers looked on at the boy, some wondering why someone from the village appeared to be sight seeing in the middle of a street, the others fearing that the ninja saw something they didn't. But that wasn't the case.


Born in Hi no Kuni (land of Fire) in a small town deep within the woods, Shigure hadn't seen a large village before coming to Takigakure. He has only been within the gates of Takigakure for a little more than a year -which was filled with staying at the academy for most of the time-, so he hadn't really been able to take in the scenery before, the liveliness, the crowds, the tall buildings. It all was fresh in his mind, and Shigure loved it.


Just as Shigure reached for another sip of water, bringing the bottle to his lips, he receives a sharp push from the back. It was sharp enough for the water to splash into his face, drenching him, while making him topple over onto the dirt. With a few grumbles and curses, his body would move, attempting to get up. As he surfaced from the ground, his face would have a plastered look to it, the water on his face picking up most of the dirt he landed in.


After hearing her comment, he'd groan. "Well.. if some people were watching where they were going..." His voice completely leaving him as he faced the girl. "Oh... hello there." He'd state while attempting to brush the dirt off his face. This girl was rather pretty, and some would think Shigure had found an attraction to her. But it was just his upbringing that had stopped the fight. Shigure was always taught while growing up to respect women, and to always be nice to them. Whether in the future this becomes a weakness, who would know.

She had collided with the boy far more forcefully then she had initially thought. The water he was drinking splashed upwards, small droplets pattering across her face as he fell into the ground. Landing sharply with a thud, she winced, crouching to help him up.. Until she caught his remark.

Straightening, she allowed him to stand on his own, crossing her arms as she waits for an apology. He had stopped right in front of her, after all. His muttered hello was met with a scowl, and she frowned at him.

"That's it? Just hello? No sorry, no nothing?"

[Kai, Takizawa]

Taki had just came into the are from his training near the waterfall when he spotted two younger shinobi. His sword was around his back as he approached them to see what the big deal was. Most everyone else was dressed in standard shinobi gear, except for these three. At the age of 18 he was bigger than most 18 year olds, and a lot more muscular. Taki's friendly vibe was in full effect, his smile was almost eternal. Taki gathered himself before making his way down the street to the two bickering shinobi.

Taki reached into his pocket and extended a red handkerchief towards Shigure [red]"Looks like you need one of these buddy."[/red] Taki always carried two of these signature red handkerchiefs, one for daily use and one for cleaning his family heirloom. He examined both the boy and the girl and realized that they must also be Genin. He had been looking for the Kage's tower for some time now and it was starting to frustrate him. Just as Taki finished extending his offer to Shigure he introduced himself [red]"Takizawa, Kai at your service, who might you two be?"[/red]

Shigure continued to get the dirt out of the crevices of his face while listen to the woman. "I didn't know that with this wide expanse of road, you would be following directly behind me. For that I am sorry..." Even though the comment had a hint of sarcasm too it, it seemed truthful enough. Shigure didn't like the fact that he was pushed down, but he was in the presence of a Lady, and he would try to be less rude about the situation.

Only moments after the debacle, a taller, as well as older, Shinobi entered the area, sporting a sword strapped to his back. As the man offered Shigure the handkerchief, Shigure took it and smiled, while giving him a thanking nod. "Im Semitsu, Shigure..." It appeared that Shigure had given both of them his name, for he looked at both of them and spoke. "nice to meet you, Kai-san." With that, Shigure turned to the girl, to hear her name, every once in a while wiping his face with the red piece of fabric.
