SUN and MOON

[Messatsu!]

At first glance the building itself looks to be aged and withered, so much so that it appears to be uninhabitable. Although the inside was renovated, the exterior was deliberately left in its unpalatable condition in order to thwart even a sliver of suspicion. To most, it was nothing more than an abandoned building within the slums of Sunagakure. The entrance to the building itself is nothing more than a single wooden door that can only be locked on the inside. On both sides of said door lies a series of 1st floor windows (four on each side), all of which are sealed up with makeshift items. The second floor has half as man windows as the first, and unlike those below it, they are not sealed but merely covered with blinds. Now, for those who have been privileged with the opportunity of stepping into what seems to be an old and withered building, they are able to truly see the beauty of the establishment.

Its interior is nothing less than refined, filled with expensive chandeliers, household equipment, high quality bedrooms, and even a beautiful fireplace whose beauty -even during the suns prime- remains everlasting. Were that not enough, the cellar of the building acts as an armory, carrying various supplies any shinobi could have possibly needed.

[/u][/b]: The first floor of the Sun and Moon compound consist of dining areas, kitchens, and even an old, but sacred library. All of the rooms are connected through a single hallway where the rooms merely branch off from it on both sides. The main hall stretches all the way through the building with about 25 meters of space between the entrance and back wall.

2F: Simply put, the second floor is the living quarters, hosting enough rooms to fit multiple families within the building itself. The second floor is only accessible to a set of spiraling stairs from the first floor.

Cellar: The cellar (which is only accessible through an opening on the kitchen floor with a handle) acts to be the buildings treasury, keeping funds, tools, or any items of high value safe. Only with the permission of Masuyo himself can one gain access to the treasury. Those who decide to discreetly enter and are caught will be immediately treated as a hostile target.

[li] Only Kekkai who are in good standing are allowed free passage during any time!
[/li][li] All private meetings will take place be within the third floor office.
[/li][li] Non-Kekkai characters are to wait at the entrance for clearance from Sua (who guards the entrance and building at all times). Even the most subtle acts of hostility will trigger an immediate dispatch.

Masuyo had a look of amazement as the he saw Nina create a shuriken of diamond hard constitution from otherwise nothing. It was certainly a privilege to experience Shouton, so long as you aren't the target.

After Nina would explain her rather demoralizing story, Masuyo would ponder a bit and then proceed to inquire about the whereabouts of Nina's capture. Perplexingly enough, it seemed Masuyo was out for the same thing as Nina, revenge. It would have been so much easier however, if she could remeber the location. She had tried to recall the memories for months now to no avail. Biting her lip, she replied hesitantly to Masuyo

"Well... you see, that's the problem. I don't remeber. It was all a blur and it was sorta overwhelming while I was experiencing it."


OOC: Continuation of thread, Potential;

[Messatsu!]

A quick second pause of silence separated Masuyo's words of inquiry and Nina's retort as she bit her lip which, to Masuyo, foreshadowed a insufficient response. Truly expecting nothing beneficial, Masuyo listened and contemplated Nina's works, breaking them down bit by bit into little components. Naturally, he grew aggravated after knowing that his single ray of hope knew nothing about its location. With an annoyed modifier, the Sennin sighed and quickly calmed himself before he gathered his thoughts and responded. Subconsciously, his fist bawled up and trembled. Momentarily, he looked down to said fist and quickly seized its movements as it became loose and relax once more. On the verge of giving up, both hands (open palmed) raised up just as his face came down and buried itself in both palms.

"Damn. After all these years I thought I would have gotten some sort of clue. Heh, I of all people should know that things just don't come easy."

And then it hit him! In a quick moment of realization and clarity, he remembered what his hologram-esque sister told him in regards to her location. Although her time ran short, she mentioned a man that Masuyo knew all too well who knew of her last known location - Yuu Aimery Kekkai. The older sibling the Sennin once admired and looked up to was that same man, the man who masterfully orchestrated his sisters kidnapping. He loathed his brother for what he did, however, he decided long ago that he would not attempt to take his life, but instead, force him to see the error of his ways. His head uplifted from his palm, indicating that he had experienced some sort of mind-blowing thought.

"I just remembered. My brother, he's still alive and just might know where she is. He's got to know something, even if i have to beat him so he remembers. "

Continuation; Desert Night

As the break of dawn settled in, the crowning sun hung beautifully in the northern sky. Obtaining clearance to enter the village hadn't been an overly difficult feat, especially when bringing in a man said to have been injured while assisting two heavily affiliated citizen's of Sunagakure. Surprised he slept through it all, Sua guided the trio through the city. The majority of its inhabitants remained in deep slumber, save for the handful of hard-workers that broke their own backs for an extra hour worth of pay. Nonetheless, as the group finally reached their desired destination, Masuyo hopped up to a full stand vigorously as he stretched out is entire body thereafter. Yawning and enjoying the sensation muscles adjusting to abrupt activity, he turned around to face a sleeping Kouestu who seemed to have been enjoying his period of rest quite well. Unfortunately, for him, morning arrived and the time to awaken became evident. Whistling, he walked across Sua's back until stood over Kouestsu from his right side, crouched down, and placed a palm on his shoulder to comfort him should he be surprised.

"Kouestsu, hey Kouestsu! Rise and shine sleeping beauty, the sun is up and where here at our destination."

Grinning, he stood back up and leapt forward and down from Sua's back onto the ground below. Landing in a skillful crouch, he caressed the side of Sua's face, physically thanking her that he always has and always will appreciate the help she always has time to provide. Don't fret, he hadn't forgotten about Shoumetsu, in fact, Masuyo looked over in that direction, however, verifying whether or not he'd been sleep or awake seemed fruitless as he couldn't readily tell. Pivoting, he turned about face to face the door that lead to his home.

"I know its looks like a run-down, uninhabitable place from the outside, but, well, ahhh you'll see!"

Whether or not Shoumetsu and Kouestsu followed suit, Masuyo opened the entrance to his home and made his way in, greeted by a fully refurbished furniture that rivaled the same luxuries of a mansion.

"Home sweet, home. It feels good to finally be back. "

It was a nice ride on the way Sunagakure, so nice that the shinobi was able to sleep peacefully, having a dream of being in a brothel, his cheeks were a tint of light pink, and he carried a mischievous expression upon it. In the dream, he had seen a lady which had resembled that of his former companion, Jun. Enticed by her looks and body, she was the girl of his desire, and he followed her through the building, as she would allure him to her, with sexual gestures which he couldn't help but chase after her. He would find himself falling her into a room, where she had lead in a bed with silky lingerie, her sex appeal was unfathomable, and the shinobi couldn't stay away from her.

He would leap into the bed, tearing his clothing off of him in mid-air, revealing his large, heavily scarred, but muscular body to her. She would have wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into her soft skin and in-between her legs. When the shinobi lips met her neck, she would giggle and nibble upon one of his ears, and then she would speak to him. Her voice wasn't the same as it was before, no, but it was a familiar voice he didn't register so quickly, until it had hit him—Masuyo?! Masuyo's voice had invaded his dream, ultimately ruining what could have been his best dream so far, but now was tainted and tarnished.

Something he didn't even want to try to think back on, all because of him. His right eye had slowly opened, despite the shocked feeling he had experienced, and wanting to lash out and strangle Masuyo for ruining his slumber. It would see as it was dawn now, his eyes had seen Masuyo's face, but the bright sky just beyond, that's really what he focused on, he didn't really want to see Masuyo's face or hear his voice. But, he ultimately had no choice, since talking was inevitable. So, it would seem that the trio was in Sunagakure?

He didn't really have much time to look around and see everything, especially with only one eye he could use; instead, he used it to follow Masuyo as he would make his way toward a door. As he had sat up on top of Sua, he would stretch his arms out and yawn, also catching a smell of his bodily scent, which had a foul stench. It didn't bother him too much, but he had known that he couldn't go about all day with this scent upon him. He stood upon Sua, and then leaped off of her, walking behind Masuyo as he would push open the doors of his house, and in it, he would have seen something he didn't expect at all.

Was this Masuyo character some kind of rich playboy? When did the youth of this age start getting money like this? If he was younger, he felt as if he could be a part of "Young Money," too.

"Isn't this a bit much for a kid like yourself? Unless, you wouldn't happen to live here alone, that is."

The shinobi had said to Masuyo as he had stepped inside of his home, looking at everything all around them, seeing it the house had any signs of others who might have lived here as well. Or any pictures of family members, but he wouldn't see any right away. Wasn't there another traveling with them? Oh, yeah, Shoumetsu. Where is he? When he had gotten up and made his way over to Masuyo, he had forgotten all about him, wondering if he was still tagging along with the duo.

[tigaevo]

"Damn, that sun is blazing."

The Hyuuga would mention as he began to awaken from his slumber, he didn't even intend on sleeping but he couldn't help his self with the conditions of the desert night and soft feeling of Sua's fur he just fell asleep. As the man began to stretch out his arms just a Bit he would notice that they had actually reached home in no time, Taking his time trying not to stand up too fast Shou would stand to his feet. 'You know it isn't smart to just be sleeping all crazy around strangers Stupid, don't do that shit anymore. But at least you learned you can put a little trust into the two men we just met.' This was Metsu voice shooting through the boy's head as he looked over to tattered man and Masuyo.

"Damn, he looks even worse in the light."

'Hahahahahaha. and I thought I was the asshole.' Metsu voice would ring through the Hyuuga's head once more. Shou would giggle a little as he watched Masuyo wake Kotarama up from his sleep, he looked like he was dead been he had been awaken he looked as if he was a bit disbursed by Masuyo waking up. Shou would begin to dust off his clothes attempting to get whatever fur that got stuck to his clothing out, he'd see Masuyo leaping off of the bears back. The Hyuuga's eyes would begin to scan the fairly large house, it kind of reminded Shou of his own home that he shared with his father.

"Ahh, this looks like home, I guess somebody makes some good ass money."

Shou would mutter to myself as the tattered man was able to stand to his feet, 'I don't view him as a threat right now but I can tell it's something a little off about this guy.' Metsu voice would shoot through the Hyuuga head, he'd be voicing his opinion about Kota. 'Masuyo, He actually seemed genuine but we just met him so we still have to be careful.' Metsu's opinion would always way in heavy when it came to trusting people because he was usually a good judge of character when he was being a jerk. Shou would nod his head as he followed behind the man jumping off the Sua's back. Shou would turn around towards Sua and Begin to speak.

"Thanks for the ride."

Shou would say as he turned and got into a slight Jog so he could catch up to the other two men.

"This is a mighty nice place you got here buddy, I could have had something like this if I wouldn't have too that vacation."

Shou would say while he closed the distance between himself and the Duo.

[Messatsu!]

Masuyo noticed the disgruntlement of the Kouetsu as he robbed him his precious dreams, which, to a shinobi had always been a small luxury. Sadly, Masuyo had no choice but to have forced him back onto the threshold of reality while hoping Kouetsu understood despite his obvious irritation. Luckily, his attitude took a hard one hundred and eighty degree as stepped through the entrance to the "SUN and MOON", basking in its glorious interior. Seconds before Shoumetsu arrived at the door, Kouestsu fancied Masuyo to be a mere child, effortlessly hitting the nail on the head despite the fact that the Sennin's body forcefully grew to rival a grown man while his age remained untouched. Laughing at the irony, Shoumetsu finally seemed to have caught up to the group, yet, hadn't seemed as surprised as Kouestsu in regards to seeing Masuyo's home. Not even a moment later had Shoumetu complimented the work done to his house as well as its upkeep.

"Hehe, nothing more than a lucky investment I guess, but I like it for what its worth. And yeah, this place was initially made to house the family I planned to have, but hey, things don't always work out in your favor right? "

A quick, guiding wave of his hand suggested that the two enter the dinning room where a round table sat in the center of it all with a lightly burning fire and a diamond covered chandelier which hung from the ceiling to top it all off.

"The place is pretty big so make yourselves at home, first floor is pretty much the kitchens, this dining room and a library. I don't mind you looking around, just don't. . .try to steal anything since, well, Sua is out there itching for something to happen."

[KEITH]

The right eye of the shinobi had made his way around the luxurious house that had belonged to Masuyo, and before he had known it, it would seem that Shoumetsu had also caught up with them. Nothing had escaped the sight of his keen, ash grey eye. Masuyo had told him that he had planned on having a family, was he thinking that far ahead of his life to have a wife and children already? He is far too young to be thinking about things like that, if he had meant it that way, not even Kouetsu himself thought about those kinds of things. Eventually, Masuyo would lead the duo into the dining room of his home, where they would come across a large round table and a diamond chandler right above it at the top of the room.

The kid had said he made a smart investment, but it had to be more to it than just that, though it was whatever, he couldn't let himself get caught up with trivial things. But, if he had luck like that, he would definitely have to stick around him, and get some of that luck for himself. As he would walk across the nice floor of Masuyo's house, he would leave a trail of dried up mud from his sandals that he was wearing, and some even fell from his clothing. Completely obvious of it, though he had chosen to play it off like he hadn't even noticed it was happening.

He would then bring up his left hand to his beard, rubbing it gently as he looked toward Shoumetsu, with a curious expression upon his face.

"So, you're loaded too, then? Is Sunagakure just full of rich kids running about? If so, this place is way better than Kusa no Kuni. Where I grew up, the only rich person was that kook, was the richest man in the world."

[tigaevo]

'Yeah this guy is good, he's got money like our old man.' Shou would look around, it was a wonderful place just like there place back in Sunagakure. But Shou did have to give him his props because he couldn't exactly afford his own house like this since he had gave up his Kage nomination. Folding his arms as he walked into the beautiful dining hall Shou would nod his head up and down as Masuyo would begin to speak, he just warned us not to steal anything out of his house.

"Don't worry about bro, I'm financial stable. "

Shou would say with a small laugh behind it, even though it was true shortly after Kota would catch the Shinobi attention. He would cause me to burst into a loud laughter echoing through out the house, Something Shout tends to do regularly. Once He was done laughing he would turn to Kota.

"Yeah, I come from a good Family. But never mind that you grew in Kusa, didn't that place get destroyed or some shit I was apart of that Yonbi Relief group even though I had to make a early exit. Did he fuck your shit up?"

Speaking only words of truth Shou would look around the room once more.

"What's up with the fooooooood. I know you've got to have cook."

Shou would say as he began to rub his hands together.

[Messatsu!]

Listening to both Kouetsu and Shoumetsu, with the former speaking first, he laughed at being fancied as 'loaded'. Although he knew the entire meaning behind the word, he simply hadn't expected such an answer. Unfortunately, those words were that last batch that managed to reach his eardrums after he watched a near-unforgivable crime that blossomed before his eyes. It was after Masuyo looked down towards Kouetsu's feet and behind him that he noticed the trail of muddy footprints left in his wake. Shocked and awed, his jaw -metaphorically- dropped to the floor. Thrust inside his own bubble of silence, every single word that spilled from Shoumetsu's parted lips bounced off said bubble which prevented each syllable from reaching its destination. Suddenly, he the Sennin's mind snapped back into reality as his eyebrows lowered in anger.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! MUD?! MUUUD?! WHERE DID IT COME FROM!? DON'T JUST STAND THERE, CLEAN IT UUUP!"

His right hand jerkily uplifted, pointed directly at Kouetsu's face, and strained the leading finger beyond its boiling point, so much so that it violently shook. Not even a second later, the Sennin's anger subsided as he dropped to his knees in the briefest moments of exaggerated depression while he silently sulked.

"But. . .but. . .I just cleaned this place. I must've done something to anger the gods."

[KEITH]

Kouetsu was somewhat offended by the words which Shoumetsu had spoken, and they were quite rude, it wasn't like he had thought about looting him or something. Just because he had looked like a dirty, crusted bum doesn't mean he acted like one or was even close to being low-life status. But, he'd let that go, it wasn't anything too important about it, he was just asking a mere question after all. Then, shortly after, Shoumetsu would continue to speak, this time giving more information about his financial status in the village, and it would seem as if he was doing well, too.

Perhaps the kids of Sunagakure did live a pampered life, the likes of which Kouetsu had never gotten to live, and probably won't get to in this life at all. As he would further indulge in speaking, he would mention something about the Yonbi attacking Kusa no Kuni, something that he wasn't the slightest bit aware of. As a vagabond, he didn't stay up to date with the news of the world, for he was always on the road, traveling so that he could better himself as an inhabitant of the world. It was nice to know that Shoumetsu did help out his people, though he followed up with an asshole-ish question, after previously saying an asshole-ish thing.

Just what kind of guy was this Shoumetsu person? He was going to catch some wood up his ass if he didn't stop being a prick.

"Oh, well, I thank you for being a survivor to the people of my country. But, try to cut down on the asshole remarks. You don't know what kind of man I am."

He had said after Shoumetsu's plea to Masuyo for some food. Unfortunately for Kouetsu, he would be met with another problem immediately after, though, this one wasn't really his problem at all. Masuyo began shouting at Kouetsu, in a loud and rude manner, making him think that the one boy who he had thought was so kindhearted had a bad temper, which Kouetsu sighed at. It seemed that boy of these rich kids had their own little unique quirks, and it would be a little straining for this country man.

In response to Masuyo's plea, he had nothing but a simple response and a simple solution.

"Cleaning shit is for bitches. I, sir, am not a bitch. So, I advise you to go out and get one off the street."

Masuyo should have known that Kouetsu was dirty since they met him last night. He had gone through a lot before he had gotten to Kaze no Kuni, and his body was filthy and smelly. Even Sua could tell that he was in dire need of a bath and some new clothing; surely these rich kids could do him this simple favor, since they are in such a giving mood. He watched as Masuyo would drop to the floor, after he had released that burning had stone from his hand, which would be known as anger.

Luckily, Kouetsu wasn't an asshole like Shoumetsu, and he decided to stand in place until a solution was thought of.

"I know you have given me a lot, but, would you be so kind to let me shower and wash my clothes, Masuyo-kun?"

He would ask him nicely.

[tigaevo]

'Oh man this guy is funny. I'm out here.' Metsu voice would shoot through the boy's head. Shortly after the boy would shake his head and look at his hands, the boy would return his sight back to the tattered man. 'Metsu don't mess up Masuyo house with the bull shit.' A grin would soot across Metsu face, the other personality would dominate control of the mans body.

"Well, Asshole remarks you say that was nice guy bro. But you're right I don't know what type of man you're but the same goes for you."

Metsu would say all of this with a smile on his face, Metsu whole demeanor would switch up quite a bit. He would maintain a seemingly crazy grin on his face, while he kept moving the fingers around on his left hand. Also his voice got deeper than normal, not anything creepy but a lot more confident.

"Also Kota, the man didn't ask for much but for you to clean up after your self in his home and you disrespect him? That's crazy, I think you're the one who is making them Bitch Ass comments man. Not to be rude or anything."

Metsu would say as he kept his eyes on the man, he didn't know what to expect from this guy now. 'Metsu, once again don't do nothing stupid we're all 'friends' here' Shou voice would shoot through the man's head.

[Messatsu!]

Until recently, namely up to the point where he met his late master Shiju, Masuyo had been widely known for his bad temper and intolerance. What Kota failed to notice is that he walked a fine line between being an ally and an enemy, especially after taking how long the three have known one another into consideration. Although Masuyo's resposne to the mud was initially playful, his request was everything but. After after having been save, treated, and provided shelter, Kota decided to take the low road and attempted to deny the request. Unfortunately, for Kota, that request hadn't been designed to be denied or refused. Suddenly, Masuyo abruptly raised up to a full stand as his hands remained relaxed at his side with a face that told countless warnings about his true anger. Now, presuming everything proceeded as planned, Masuyo looked into Kouetsu's only available eye while on full alert and began to present his undeniable request once again.

"I apologize for being unclear, but, that request wasn't up for negotiation, you will clean it up. This house is sacred and valued to the point where 10 of your own lives couldn't match up to it. Once its clean only then will you be allowed to have a shower. "

If one thing existed that Masuyo cared for and cherished the most, well, it was his family, which served the purpose for refurbishing the house. Tolerating attitudes and smart remarks had been one of the few things that Masuyo could handle, however, when it involved family, letting certain things slide was something he never could bring himself to do.
