relaxation (kinz/tenkai/open :D)

[Kinz]

Asa’s body sat like a lump in the wicker chair he had been provided. In the last three days he had exhausted his chakra no less than two times. One of those times had been more than he had ever done before. The medical ninja had not been too happy with him in the aftermath of that. The yelling he had to put up with from them was intolerable. That’s why he left and came here to this tea house, even though he still felt like crap. The tea house itself was decent. Comfortable furniture lined the room with a fairly pretty serving girl fluttering about handing out peoples orders. Asa hadn’t really cared when he came in, but the name on the door way said “Lightning Brewery”.

His eye lids kept dipping closed as he sipped his tea. He really wanted some sake to be truthful, but this was all he thought his stomach could handle at the moment. Why couldn’t those medical ninja just leave him alone to rest? They had to keep at him with their nagging and finally they drove him out here in the cold, without any energy, and in this damn hospital gown. He probably would have been humiliated by the attire had he not gotten a free tea from the owner due to the ridicule he had suffered upon entering. Also he was just too tired to care. He would sit there sipping his tea as the steam from it rose up into the air.

The energetic beauty could not tolerate being idle for too long. After residing in the same region for decades, it was only natural for one to grow bored of seeing the same scenery over and over again. Hayline loved Kumogakure with all of her heart; however, sometimes she wished that there had been more to do in her free time. It was too early in the day for her to once again have no plans other than just roaming the village. Giggling to herself, she wondered what sort of mischief she could muster up today. It was customary for her to grab a drink of tea before she started her day—the best way to begin anyone’s day in fact. It made her more alert and just overall a peppy little girl.

Entering the Lightning Brewery, the blonde vixen would find herself scanning the shop to see who else had the brilliant idea of getting delicious refreshment. ’Hmm, it’s not too crowded in here.’ Normally the traffic in tea shops in the morning were flooded, almost impossible to even get service comfortably due to the massive amount of customers, but today it was not as busy as usual. Of course, this was a good thing to the young lady’s mind. It gave her the chance to weasel around the tables and plot out the rest of day in peace.

Her pace continued casually towards the clerk whom she had known quite well. A ferocious grinned appeared upon her face as she would begin to speak, ”Good morning, dear sir! You already know my order, so prepare it and send it my way please.” And with a wink, she would look around the shop to see where she fancied to sit today. ’Oh, poor man.’ Her blue eyes garnered the attention of a man wearing a hospital gown. Strange, she had never seen someone wearing that outfit to the shop. ’He must have just gotten released from the hospital this morning.’

Although she was not one to normally initiate a conversation, she decided to see if this man was feeling well. Perhaps he could even tell her the story of why he was placed in the hospital. Walking over towards the man, the slender blue-dressed lady would gleefully ask, ”Hey there, I noticed the perciular outfit that you’re wearing. Did you just get released from the hospital today?” Refraining from taking a seat unless he offered, she would just stand there waiting to see his response, if he had any.

Kumogakure no Sato!

The hidden village located at the north part of the map, hidden among the mountains and clouds producing the lightning of the so ferocious land. With the mission done there was no other reason for the trio to remain in the foreign hidden village, yet, coming from such far place would be just a waste of chance to not know more about it. Despite not being a social human being, Rosario had a fascination towards knowledge, and certainly hidden villages was a something she could not just get pass.

Entering the first restaurant-bar on her way, the lady would find the place being quite alone, without that much clients that day, probably the hour. With just a few around the ladyy thought that the place may not be the best to start, though something caught her attention.

A man dressed up with a very peculiar outfit. Watching the man, the scarlet eyed woman would notice a young female getting closer, just to undiscover the secret of the man's outfit, or at least a probably good reason.

However, before getting closer the lady shall just sit in the table next to them and await for the proper time to introduce herself.

((OOC: I decided to join this thread since Yukiko actually may remember Asa))

[Enter]

A small 'pling' was heard when the female entered the restaurant-bar in the street. She had graduated the knowledge center just a week ago and was ready to start on a full-time shinobi career. But the problem was that Yukiko could not find any teammates.
Her 'senpai' was way too busy with his duties plus that she had not seen that crazy girl she had met in the grocery shop a couple weeks ago. 'Hm...what kind of place is this really?' thought the young woman as she looked around.

"Hey there, I noticed the perciular outfit that you’re wearing. Did you just get released from the hospital today?" inquired a girl close to her age. She was rather tall and thin while her hair was in a golden blonde colour.
A simple black dress covered her body while her hair was pulled back in a ponytail. It contrasted the Chuunin's outfit a bit, which consisted of a simple white sweater paired with a brown skirt.

Her legs were covered in black tights while a pair of green sneakers were on her feet. She tilted her head a little bit; there was something familiar about the man in the hospital gown. 'Where have I seen him before...?' thought the female while she bit her lip.
Her head then raced through the people she had met at the knowledge center; he was not one of them. Maybe it was a shinobi she had ran into at some mission?

'Can't be senpai, that's for sure. Maybe it's one of his friends?' thought the brunette as she walked a little closer. Ice blue eyes widened in surprise when she realized who it was. "Asa-senpai...is it really YOU!?" half-whispered the young woman in slight disbelief.
What was HE doing here!? And why was he dressed like someone in the hospital!?

But was the shinobi in front of her able to recognize her after seven years or so? She had grown nearly nine inches in height while her figure was more womanly. Not to mention that her face looked a bit less childish compared to earlier. However, Yukiko's main features were still a bit the same from when she had been a kid. And her hair plus her eyes had still retained their colour.

Kumogakure no Sato!

With her tea on hand, the kunoichi decided to leave the place and allow those kumogakure shinobis to speak of their own business.

(Awww, Why u no stay with us kama D: )

Asa had begun to doze off as his tea cooled in front of him. The dream he had was terrible. The images of nurses with evil witch noses chased him through sterile hallways with no way out. It was terrible. Just as one was about to catch him a young women startled him out of his slumber. In his anxiety he couldn’t help himself. The nearest weapon, the tea flew from his hand. The room temperature liquid would fly towards the woman as he screamed “NO! I’m not going back.”

He came to his senses rather quickly though, finally remembering where he was. “Hospital?! Me? No. clean bill of health right here. Why do you ask? You mean this old thing? I like to wear this on hot days! HAHAHAHAHA” Asa was definitely not playing it cool, though he was doing his level best with how nervous he was. He forgot how it wasn’t exactly what you’d call a ‘warm day’ outside. Then he heard a voice call at him “Asa Senpai? Is that you?” Before he even looked to see who it was Asa was already jumping out of his skin thinking it was those old crones from the hospital. He looked around in a panic only to see past the pretty young blonde in front of him, to the young women behind her near the door.

She looked rather familiar but he couldn’t place her face. “Um….you’re not from the hospital are you?” The question was directed at both of the girls though his eyes were drilling into the newer females face trying to remember where he knew her from.

[¤ Tenkai ¤]

❥ oh boy you're hustlin' me; HayliNe

’Going back..?’ Unsure what this man was referring to, the one thing that she knew was that she was in danger. Given that she was a ninja, despite her rather laid-back apparel, her reflexes were always swift. The blonde woman would notice the man grip his cup excessively tight before tossing the hot liquid her way. ’I don’t think so!’ Side stepping towards the right, she would just dodge the man’s tea before listening to his explanation. It appeared as though she had startled him from his slumber. However, she did not believe a word of his story. No one wears that sort of outfit on a day like this, or any day in fact unless they had to wear it.

Even so, she could not help but laugh at his response, it was a witty answer. She had no reason to pry any further than what he reasoned, so she nodded her head in agreement. Before the two of them could begin a proper conversation, another woman entered the tea shop yelling the name, “Asa.” Interesting, so his name might be Asa, eh? Hayline was unfamiliar with this man’s name, but he must be at least Chuunin, if not Jounin rank. Perhaps if the lovely lady did not go on holiday for so long, she would be more up to date with the current happenings in the village.

Then “Asa” proceeded to answer the new entrant’s question with one of his own. ”I do not work there, why, are you a wanted criminal sir?” Teasing the man for his paranoid antics, she was a bit curious as to why he seemed to so afraid of the hospital. They were supposed to treat patients and make them feel better, right? So why on earth was this man terrified of them? Hayline could only wonder a possible answer, while she also studied the newcomer’s attire. ’Hrm. So she must be at least genin rank, given that Asa was her teacher at some point in time. Interesting, so the three of us are shinobi here in Kumogakure. What an odd meeting.’

[/font][/justify]

[Yuki-chan]

"Hospital?! Me? No. clean bill of health right here. Why do you ask? You mean this old thing? I like to wear this on hot days! HAHAHAHAHA!" laughed the male.

He seemed to be a wee bit nervous about this; what had happened? "Um….you’re not from the hospital are you?" inquired Asa while he looked at both girls. "I do not work there, why, are you a wanted criminal sir?" replied the other girl.
The female nearly facepalmed when she heard her answer. OFF COURSE he would not be stupid enough to tell her if he was!

"No Asa-senpai...I don't work at the hospital. Don't you remember me? Yukiko-chan?" hinted Yukiko as she looked at his face.
He was at least in his mid-twenties now since he had been about 18 during their first meeting. But that was a long time ago, so she was not sure if she would remember him at all.

A lightbulb then went off in her head when the young woman remembered their first meeting. "We met at the tea house back in the day when we first met each other. You were talking with Atlas-senpai and I was with him" told the Chuunin.
"We got into a fight with some bandits at the bar while we were there. I remember you hit Atlas-senpai with a shuriken in his...behind" chuckled the female when she replayed the memory inside her mind.

She hoped that what she had said would stir up the memory of her former mission buddy. 'I better hope that he remember the shuriken thing. Nobody should be able to forget something like THAT' thought the brunette.
But another issue was that she had been unable to get a hang of her old teacher's whereabouts. Where on earth could the young man be?

[¤ Tenkai ¤]

(OOC: Some other time, Kinz. ♥ I'll PM you la-lalater!)

"Well, have a good day, Asa! I'm off for now." And with a quick skip, hop and a jump, she would leave those two with their little reunion. The new girl was apparently some big fan of his, and Hayline was not interested in the least to stay.

/le exit!

[Kinz]

Asa couldn’t help but chuckle. “Shuriken in the butt? Sure sounds like something I’d do hehehe.” Then snapping his fingers a look of realization crossed his face. “Oh yeah. Yuki. It’s been a long time huh. You certainly grew up to be a looker, huh? Sit down, sit down. Tell me what you been up to kid.” Asa kept remembering this Yuki as the little girl she used to be. He had forgotten how much time had passed while he was in the clinic.

Asa’s hospital gown no longer being on his mind he called over to the waitress to freshen up his tea. He had wondered what happened to yuki and atlas. He had heard the two were in the chunnni exams a while ago. The nurses at the clinic let him know about things sometimes when he asked. They hadn’t faired to badly from what he heard. He would sit there with his ears perked up to listen to the girl.

[Yuki-chan]

Both of the girls who had sitten near the male had now left the coffee-bar establishment. "Shuriken in the butt? Sure sounds like something I’d do hehehe" chuckled Asa. The female felt relieved since this meant that some of his memory was still working. A look of realization then glimmered in the onyx eyes for a moment. Did he recognized her now?

"Oh yeah...Yuki. It’s been a long time huh. You certainly grew up to be a looker, huh? Sit down, sit down. Tell me what you been up to kid" told Asa as he gestured her to sit down at the seat straight across him.

A small blush formed at her face when she heard his comment about her apperance. "I appreciate the compliment senpai, but remember that I'm only 18. You must be about 25 now I suppose?" guessed Yukiko as she tilted her head a little to the right.
He did look a bit more mature now compared to earlier; his chin as well as his muscles was more defined than she remembered. But why was he wearing the same clothes as the people who were hospitalized?

'Nevermind...perhaps he is just wearing this until he can get some clothes. Maybe his house burned down or something. Would make sense since he have been hospitalized and don't have access to his own clothes. But why did he ask me plus that other girl if we were from the hospital? Have he escaped?' thought the young woman.

But she decided to play along for now since there was a chance he would let her know later on. "I have just graduated from that knowledge center downtown. My parents assigned me to lessons in subjects like Japanese, math and geography for example" started the Chuunin.
"Atlas-senpai passed the Chuunin exams we went to for so many years ago while I failed at the first obstacle. Which was a knowledge test but I was the youngest one there" stated the female.

"It took nearly five years until I managed to pass the Chuunin exams. I had not taken any missions since I was taking the lessons at the knowledge center. After passing the Chuunins, I learned some new jutsus plus training my brothers a little.
Haven't seen Atlas-senpai in a couple of months though. Have you seen him perhaps?" inquired the brunette as she raised her ebony eyebrows in wonder at the young man.

[Kinz]

"I'm sorry Yuki, i haven't seen him in a long time." Asa felt terrible. He had been originally intended to run this team, but his period in the clinic had stopped him from doing so. Atlas and Yuki had been forced to figure out their own way. They had flourished but he could have made it so much easier on them had he been around. "So atlas is a chunnin now? Jeez you guys grew up well huh? It's one of my greatest regrets that i wasn't able to help you two with that. I want you to know just how sorry i am i couldn't be a better leader for you. It was something that was out of my control, but that is still no excuse." Asa's eyes were down cast after his statement. He couldn't even look yuki in the eye anymore. They had grown up well in spite of Asa's absence and it made him feel filled with shame at his poor performance.

He sat there for a time sipping his tea in silence. He could hear his heart beating like a drum. It was as if something had a wrenching grip on it. Regret was something that didn't sit well with him. It was a trait he had learned from his master. He hoped his poor performance hadn't given Yuki, or Atlas for that matter any reason for regrets in his absence.

[Yuki-chan]

"I'm sorry Yuki, I haven't seen him in a long time." replied the male with a sad look on his face. He had regret tainting his voice as well as his facial expression. 'But if Asa-senpai don't know where he is...then where did he go!?' thought the female.
She had almost NO IDEA of where her former senpai was at the moment. The only thing Yukiko knew for sure was that he was not dead or a missing shinobi due to an agreement he had made.

The agreement he had made was relatively simple. She would receive a message about his death or departure since the male was her senior (despite that her rank had increased). And the person who would tell her this was still working at the Raikage tower.
'Maybe I should ask the people at the tower to give me his adress. I'm allowed to have it now since he have not contacted me in three months' thought the Chuunin.

"So Atlas is a chunnin now? Jeez you guys grew up well huh? It's one of my greatest regrets that i wasn't able to help you two with that. I want you to know just how sorry I am I couldn't be a better leader for you. It was something that was out of my control, but that is still no excuse." muttered Asa.

The female raised her eyebrows when the young man told her about the redhead's progression to the Chuunin rank. 'He does not know that Atlas-senpai is a Jounin!? Where has he been!?' thought the brunette.
Could it be...that he was an IMPOSTER!? 'Better not take any chances' decided the young woman as she decided to ask him a control question.

"Oh, I have learnt a new ice jutsu by the way. You knew the yuki tsubame jutsu I used in the bar mission? I'm now able to make one that's large enough for me to ride on" informed Yukiko.
The real Asa would probably remember that she had not used the yuki tsubame jutsu during the bar mission...she had used the tobihaneru or ice tile jutsu. He better had to remember this or else he would get a literally frosty reply.

[Kinz]

OOC: sry about long wait. got hung up with work this week

“Hmmm, well I don’t know much about Ice techniques. Didn’t you do some ice tile thing? I remember that. Glad you learned a new technique though. What’s this ice tsubame technique do?”

A generally pleased look went over his face at the knowledge that his friend had learned something new. It was always nice to hear about how people were getting better within the village. He waited for her to show him her new technique if she would, but would press on without seeing it if she avoided the display.

“I learned something new too. It was actually the reason for my long absence.”

A moment later his sharingan would bloom within his eyes, 3 black dots circling in the pools of crimson.

“You see, I was training and I obtained these. But because of what happened during my trial for them….well lets just say I was unable to leave the ‘capable’ care of those hags from the medical facility. They kept me under lock and key for sometime. For my own good they said, but they are finally letting me out and about. If with some restrictions….and with my own loopholes in said restrictions.”

A devilish smile crossed his face as he thought of how often he had been sneaking out recently. Then he remembered the company he was in and went back to telling her more.

“Yeah, that’s one thing I never got to tell you guys about. I always told myself if I ever was the leader of a team I would tell them about my number one rule. Not that I’m your leader or anything, but I’m going to tell you anyway since I missed my chance a while ago. Never let a rule stop you. They were made to have exceptions. As a chunnin you should use your title in an effort to push the limit of rules so that you can grow past them, and ultimately be a better person for it.”

It was something his master Muteki taught him a long time ago. Maybe not in such fancy words but the sentiment was the same.

[Yuki-chan]

"Hmmm, well I don’t know much about Ice techniques. Didn’t you do some ice tile thing? I remember that. Glad you learned a new technique though. What’s this ice tsubame technique do?" inquired the male. 'Looks like he's the real deal' thought the female as she felt a small wave of relief go through her body.

"It's actually just an improvement of the first Yukina jutsu I learned way back as a kid. I can actually form up to fifty ice birds that can attack someone at really high speed. Feels like you're hit by fifty snowballs going at high speed really" told Yukiko with a smile.
"I learned something new too. It was actually the reason for my long absence." muttered Asa before he displayed something that the young woman had never seen in her life.

Both of his eyes turned deep red while three black dots swirled around in them...it was an advanced form of the Sharingan. Her ice blue spheres widened in shock when she saw them. She had heard how powerful the bloodlimit was but had never seen it up close like this.
'What exactly can his bloodlimit do!? I better ask him a little later' thought the Chuunin as she tilted her head a little to the right in curiosity.

"You see, I was training and I obtained these. But because of what happened during my trial for them….well lets just say I was unable to leave the ‘capable’ care of those hags from the medical facility. They kept me under lock and key for sometime. For my own good they said, but they are finally letting me out and about. If with some restrictions….and with my own loopholes in said restrictions" said the young man with a wicked smile on his face.

"Yeah, that’s one thing I never got to tell you guys about. I always told myself if I ever was the leader of a team I would tell them about my number one rule. Not that I’m your leader or anything, but I’m going to tell you anyway since I missed my chance a while ago.
Never let a rule stop you. They were made to have exceptions. As a chunnin you should use your title in an effort to push the limit of rules so that you can grow past them and ultimately be a better person for it." adviced the Chuunin.

A small frown crossed her face; she was rarely breaking any rule of any sort. But the female understood that some rules had to be bended in order to get further. Especially if there were some that did not make any sense.
"I can't say I understand what you say senpai since I'm not exactly a rule-breaker myself. All though I have to admit that some old or stupid rules that are out of date kinda annoys me" replied the brunette.

"Could you please tell me what your Sharingan can do? I've heard some rumors about the bloodlimit but I've never seen it like this. In return, I'll let you use my Sharingan to see some of my abilities" offered the young woman.
Yukinas were not exactly a very common bloodlimit in Kumogakure no Sato since she did not know anyone that had the same gift as herself. Plus that ice could be a nasty weapon towards some of the ninjutsus that were out there.
