A Chance Meeting [P]

[Etherion]

Kai sighed as he laid back on a flat stone at the bottom of a ravine within the land of lightning. He often came to places like this to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the village above. He enjoyed the cooler climate as it helped make his magnetic ability excel. Though some days could bring a massive torrent other days could bring along a lone stranger from beyond the mountains.

.... .... ....

It was like a drop of water splashing into a still pool. The rippling spike of chakra that his kagura sensory recognised instantly, his location pin-pointed, he had found him. Well it wasn't as if he was looking for anyone in particular - but, he had found someone. Moving through the hollowed caverns his shadow would dance irregularly across the rock-face which surrounded him. With a hooded robe on covering his head and body he would move like a mysterious figure through a abandoned land. Up twenty meters ahead, lying upon a flat rock, the figure of chakra that his kagura sensed only moments ago would be. The shuffling of his feat through the gravel rock would surely alert a keen ear to his approaching location.

The enigmatic meeting of these two people was entering its initial stages, the intrigue of what divine fate brought was too much. However, it would be the sound of an EXPLOSION!! off into the distance which would alarm both of the ninja present in the ravine. The echoing wollow of the the explosion cut its path straight though their location, not even the deepest of sleepers could -or would- wake up from such an impact. However the question was now: would the boy lying on the rock rush toward the explosion or would he recognize the position of the mysterious hooded stranger coming towards him.

Kai heard the sudden shuffle and spun around into a crouch while his hand went to the handle of his sword while he readied a field to breakdown any metal he held into sand for his own use. "Who ar-"

His question was halted mid sentence as a deafening explosion rang through the ravine. Making Kai's vision shift to the side but he kept his attention on the cloaked figure. He was the more immediate possible threat wand thus demanded the most attention. "Who are you? Show sign of Kumo if you are."

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING MORON?!?!"

The loud, rugged voice bellowed from a giant man dressed in a long brown coat with a high collar. "Sorry boss, I was smoking and the-" teeth cracked and bloodwent airborne from the thunderous punch of the large man who went by the name of Big Boss Giso. The other workers employed by him whispered, but made no moves to say a word or even look him squarely in the eyes. Crying, whilst squirming upon the dirt, he was then stepped on by Giso who looked out to the other workers pulling the wagons and whistled.

"Let anymore merchandise go up in smoke and watch how fast you can die !" Throwing out another kick, the operation went back to how it was before all the ruckus and commotion. They were following a back path that lead to behind the upper yard. A strange way to travel if one was observant enough to make. Sweat dripped down the foreheads of the dehydrated workers, it didn't look like the sort of work someone would normally seek. Something about it was just off. The explosion was caused by one of the bombs being hauled in the several wagons that were being transported through the land of lightning for shady means.

Asides from the explosion, the rest of its contents were a mystery to any onlookers and those who got to close were mostly people who lacked simple competency. Those fools were scared off by the two men who walked in between the ten wagons, their eyes sharp and battle-worn. Not the simple look one would expect a band of traveling peddlers to have. These men looked like trained thugs and the big kahuna looked even scarier than them. You'd find Giso barking orders to the scrubs pulling the wagons, wheter you looked further into this would be your decision.
