The Quest for Civilization

[Enter]

Kyo sat down near a gigantic lake. The wind had been blowing through the trees, rustling the leaves, and caused a handful to float over onto the lake. As each one struck the surface of the water, a ripple would travel outwards. The individual leaves all landed at their own time, causing their own effect on the surface of the water. Some of the ripples would collide, and some would not cross the path of another before the water settled again. This was Kyo’s life. This is what summed up the past years of his existence, the leaves representing the various nations of the world. The ripples in the water represented the disturbance of peace within the world from the raging war; which was now at an end. Back to a peaceful, gradual rise and fall of the water.

Kyo was ready to make his mark. He picked up a near y rock, very round in shape, which fit snugly in-between is thumb and index finger. He walked out into the water, with the perfect skipping rock. Then with a quick flick of his wrist the rock was off skimming along the water, whistling through the air and causing all of its own ripples. To Kyo these were the effects he wanted to partake in during the path of his life.

He looked up into the sun, having some cool drops of water splash into his face from the rock’s impact on the water. It was then he realized this experience was nothing but a dream. However it was his real life dream, a path he wished to follow. The sun had been sneaking its rays through the trees, and were now directly in line to Kyo’s eyes, and the morning due from new by plants and leaves were dripping onto his face. He sat up slowly and began to stretch, preparing himself for the day.

He already had in mind what he had planned to accomplish next in his life. He needed to find a village. A village where his skills could really flourish. However this would not be an easy task. He would have to go on a journey, and see what kind of ripples he might cause or come across along his travels.

It was a nice day in Tsuchi no Kuni, gentle breezes had swept across the land. The air was crisp and refreshing to everyone that would take the time to enjoy it, like, one young inparticular shinobi. He was walking around the outskirts of Tsuchi no Kuni, heading to the big lake out there, looking for some relaxation, and some me time. He felt that he needed it so, with all of the stuff he has been dealing with lately, especially with his friend turning out to be of the Uchiha, a Kekkei Genkai clan, clans like that one are one's that he really couldn't stand. He hated all Kekkei Genkai clans, but, he just wanted to go and relax so that he could take his mind off of things like that. He couldn't help but think how Uchiha Bit and him had began to click, but, it was whatever now. He continued to travel from the village toward the lake, but, having a feeling that it wouldn't be a normal day today.

He tilted his head back and looked out into the sky, it was clear, not a cloud in the sky, and vast. The sky was endless, like the possibilities and roads that a man could have or take in life, he had always thought that every decision he makes could have an infinite amount of endings. No matter what. His eyes couldn't help but be drawn to the sun, though. Blazing brightly and proudly, like a symbol of honor and pride shining in the sky, though, he also had a sun inside of him, that he thought shined just as brightly as the sun. As he had gotten closer to the lake, he had felt the cool breezes that the wind had carried over to him, more refreshing then every. He closed his eyes and brought his head back down. "I wonder what today will bring..." He said said to himself lowly, opening his eyes as he had stood at the edge of the lake, looking out into it.

He had then noticed another person not to far away from him on the other side of the lake, naturally thinking that he is native to the country, so, he didn't pay much mind to him. "Guess I'm not the only one who wanted to relax." He said lowly as he sat at the lake, crossing his legs in a traditional style.

[Kyo]

Finally standing up and being ready to move on with his day, Kyo glanced out over the lake. There had not seemed to be anything out of the ordinary, until a silhouette of a figure caught his eye. He could not tell from the distance what it was, but it seemed to be the outline of another person. They seemed as if they were just sitting and staring into the sky as if clouds had a secret message he was trying to figure out. His legs were crossed and his appearance seemed very inviting. Kyo wanted to get a closer look.

Quickly he made sure to gather all of his belongings before setting off along the coast line. He wanted to keep near the water, having a constant view of the shadow that was taking shape more and more as he got closer. As Kyo began to think about all of the possibilities of who this person could be, a never ending list was forming. There was a high probability that he was a stone ninja. This could end up being good and bad. On one hand, the new acquaintance might be able to take Kyo to the hidden gates and help him out in the village. On the other, it could be an enemy who would attack and send kyo to the afterlife.

Kyo whispered to himself, ” I hope I don’t end up regretting this..” As a precaution Kyo took to the trees before his mystery person could be observed at close range. He was as careful as could be, to sneak up on his “target,” he felt as if he were back in the academy trying to pull a prank on a friend. The Figure continued to have a warm and inviting feeling, and Kyo didn’t expect anything, but he was better off waiting to make contact.

But nature had other plans....

As he was just a few branches away, a bird suddenly startled Kyo. Within the instant that this happened, the thought of something so simple brought a shameful look to his face. After losing his balance, Kyo crashed into the ground, sure to have been noticed by the ninja in front of him now. Especially after letting out a mixture of weird sounds as he fell... Kyo needed to play this off as if nothing happened. He did so by jumping to his feet, throwing his hands into his pockets and then started whistling. He figured within his own mind “welp I guess it’s time for us to meet”

[kamui]

The cool breeze that continued to sweep across the lake refreshed the young male. Smiling softly as it did, with the wind slightly ruffling his short black hair. Though, he tried not to look like he was paying close attention to the other person, but, he couldn't help but notice them trying to get closer. He didn't know exactly what this person had wanted, but, he came to the realization that he wasn't going to have the day that he had planned. And, if it was a fight this person was looking for, he had caught the young male on a bad day, cause he didn't have any weapons upon his person.

He played it off as if he wasn't watching the person come his way, he closed his deep blue eyes, and yawned, using his right hand to cover his mouth. "This is going to be a drag.."

[/b] He had said to himself as the guy had taken into the trees. Picking up a small pebble off of the ground, he would toss it across the lake, it skipping along the way and making small, soft ripples in the water. He pebble had struck a small bird, making it go mad and flew into the trees, throwing the boy off balance in the trees. Watching the boy fall from the tree, hitting the ground, trying to keep his laughter in, as the loud noise caused him to open his eyes and acknowledge the boy. He watched as the boy had gotten up to his feet quickly, about 10ft away from him. "I'm a terrible person."[/i] He said to himself as he tried to keep his laughter on the inside.

His eyes scrolled up and down, examining the boy, noticing the marking's upon his forehead, the symbol of the Kaguya. Much to his displeasure, but, the boy was still human, and he had to treat him with such respect. Especially since he didn't know the boy. "Hello there, falling boy!"[/i] He said happily, forgetting that the boy was of the Kaguya. He gave him the benefit of a doubt. "You aren't from around here, are you?"[/i][/size][/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Kyo]

Kyo was pleased with how the man approached him. There was a clear age difference between them, but Kyo still felt a genuine happy greeting from the stranger. Kyo seemed stunned by how easy the conversation was to start. Though he could not think of the words to respond. The silence that was created was filled by the sound of the wind blowing through the trees. As soon as the gust of wind had settled, Kyo gave a chuckle, knowing the stranger noticed that he had fallen from the tree.

He wanted to answer his question, but he started off by tripping over his own words. Kyo was nervous and still unsure of where this confrontation might lead. He finally managed to say “no I’m not from the area..” pointing up to his headband “I’m from Waterfall.” He wasn’t sure of the conversation would continue. Time seemed to be happening sp quick in his mind, so Kyo Hastily stated that he was not looking for a fight.

“I’m here visiting. My goal is to find the hidden stone village, and when there I hope to find someone who can train me in the Earth release.” Kyo had some abilities but had never really focused into the release. Being a Kaguya he had always be fascinated by his ability to manipulate bone, and thus spent all of his time training into those techniques, as well as some taijutsu techniques. However Kyo didn’t want it to be known to the stranger that he was a Kaguya. Many people seem scared of Kyo for his abilities, or just treat him as a lower class citizen from his bloodline. He could only hope that the Stanger didn’t notice the markings on his forehead.

[kamui]

He had watched the young, prepubescent Kaguya fall at ease from the warm, friendly greeting that the young male had given him. A cheerful and pleasent smile had came upon the face of the older male. He tried to make it as easy as he could for the boy to engage in conversation with the young male, but, instead he choose to stay silent for abit. He had struggled to get his words out, but, he didn't try to pressure the boy into talking or anything, he just had waited calmly for him to begin speaking, and was finally able to get his words out. Defeating the young male's previous thoughts of him being from the country, though. His next words that he choose, well, it wasn't the best. The young male didn't even notice the headband, due to the sun shining over them brightly, messing with his vision. If he had been a more hardcore shinobi, the instance he head mentioned he was from another village, he head would have been rolling on the ground, or atleast captured. But, he really didn't give a fuck.

He listened to him continue to speak about what he had came to the country for. Obviously, the kid doesn't understand how this world of there's work, and the dangers he had put himself, his village, and his own clan in by coming to another country. If he was captured, the scientist of Iwagakure could find out the secrets of his Kekkei Genkai, and learn how to suppress it or defeat it, or even use his DNA to make Iwagakure their own branch of Kaguya's. They would also be able to find out the secrets of his village and where it's gates were so that they could infiltrate their village and attack it from the inside. But, the boy was just to young to understand this, most likely. To the world, he is just a walking piece of meat, he needs to realize. And, who would just be so nice to train someone not from their village? He laughed to himself, then, he had rose up to his feet.

"Well, little buddy, it seems that you'll be getting your wish. I'm in a generous mood today, and, well, I need some good karma." The young male had said to the young boy, before turning his back toward him, and beginning to walk into the direction of the village. "Oh, and by the way, I will only do this on one condition; if you pledge your loyalty to me. That, and also, tell me your name, young Kaguya."

[/i] He had spoke gently to the young Kaguya, showing such kindness to the young boy. The young boy probably didn't know that he figured out he was a Kaguya, but, not only the symbols on his head revealed it, but, also the bags under his eyes and their color. "My name is Kagetoki Kiri, or rather, from now on, you can address me as Kiri-sama, if you choose to devote your loyalty to me."[/size]

[Kyo]

Kyo was starting to realize the pure insanity it was to just ask a foreign shinobi to be as kind to teach his secrets to an outsider. Here he was in front of someone he didn’t even know there name, and be so blunt to request such a great thing as to even show where their “hidden” village was. It became more obvious when the young man had begun to snicker to himself. It was at this point when the shinobi had risen to his feet a sort of lost feeling came over Kyo, and his dreams seemed to be so quickly lost in front of him. He started to move his hand back towards his Kunai, but soon realized it was unnecessary. He was quick to stop himself as not to alarm his new companion.

The young man began to speak and it was in a positive tone. Kyo repeated it to himself in his head to make sure he was hearing everything correctly “Well, little buddy, it seems that you'll be getting your wish. I'm in a generous mood today, and, well, I need some good karma." As the young many proceeded to walk away, Kyo had a large grin take over his face. He knew that this meant the local shinobi would be helping him. He nodded and gave a slight grunt to show his acknowledgment to follow. He was then taken by surprise by the next few words he was about to hear.

"Oh, and by the way, I will only do this on one condition; if you pledge your loyalty to me. That, and also, tell me your name, young Kaguya."

This one sentence changed the scope of everything Kyo had known. He had never really been loyal to any one person. It was a new concept for him to take on, but he was young and eager to learn. He knew as well his home village had not been in any shape for him to return to and prosper. This is where Kyo had to be, and this is what fate had intended for him. These were his ripples on the lake

On top of this shock, Kyo had now known his cover had been blown, and his Kekkei Genkai had been discovered. Yet the young man was so accepting, unlike most others, and all of this surprise just convinced Kyo to accept the man’s offer. He was in no position to turn it down anyway. Kyo answered “yes Kiri-sama!” he bowed to the young man in respect and stated “my name is indeed Kyo Kaguya, and I am a member of the Kaguya clan” He then proceeded to follow the young man as he walked and a more serious face had taken over. He was ready for whatever his new sensei would bring.
