Inheritance.

[Estilo]

NPC Overseer Garin Natsuki

---

Garin had served in the Raikage's tower since the era of the new age Shodaime Raikage. Only in his late twenties, the sterling young man had seen Kumogakure no Sato through devastating attacks, drastic changes in government, and fruitful years of prosperity. So when his veteran employer-- the Nidaime Raikage-- vanished, he was one of the first people to have scheduled and organized a search party. He'd served under Atlas Burabiya's command loyally for nearly a decade, after all, and felt that he owed the man much more than he could ever repay. After a year and a half of nothing, however...

The funds for the search parties had run dry. The death of the Sandaime Raikage, and the election of a new candidate, had inadvertently caused the people of Kumogakure no Sato to abandon any thoughts about finding their Nidaime alive. And as much as Garin hated doing so, he felt it was time to throw in the towel. Like many of his people, he mourned the loss of Eiichiro with great pain. And this pain, paired beside the hopelessness of ever finding Atlas Burabiya alive, got him thinking about finally retiring. Maybe purchasing a plot of land to farm in the countryside. But before he did, he had one last task to complete. His final favor to Atlas Burabiya

Now that the Nidaime Raikage was officially presumed dead by the sole proctor spearheading the movement to find him, it was time to hand over the man's inheritances to those applicable. Most of Atlas' belongings, however, had already been divided amongst the few family members he had. All that remained was a key, in a letter, marked with Yukiko Fuyumori's name and address. It had been overlooked by Garin months ago, but only because it had been stashed within one of the Nidaime's books, and had not resurfaced until his people had cleaned out Atlas' office in the Raikage tower. Garin had held on to it, expecting to find his employer at any moment, but would now hand it over.

"Yukiko Fuyumori..."

He murmured, as he paced down the streets of Kumogakure no Sato with the letter and key in hand. He followed the address until, finally, he'd reached the home of the one he was looking for. What sort of relationship this woman had with the Nidaime, he had no idea. But he hoped that the letter (and the key within it) would give her some form of closure to the legacy of Atlas Burabiya. So, garbed in a dark blue robe with a high collar, Garin would knock twice on her door. When it opened, he'd give a courteous bow. "Greetings. My name is Garin Natsuki, head overseer of the Raikage's search and rescue division.

Are you... Yukiko Fuyumori?

"

The female was about to eat her lunch when someone opened the door. "I'll get it!" yelled the youngest boy as he went up from his chair. He was expecting a friend that would help him with his homework.
But it was not his friend who stood outside the door when he opened up. It was a man in a dark blue cloak who had a key in his hand.

"Greetings. My name is Garin Natsuki, head overseer of the Raikage's search and rescue division. Are you... Yukiko Fuyumori?" inquired Garin.
"No, I'm not. I'll go fetch her if you just wait a minute" replied Koji before he turned his head a little.

"SIS! There is a guy from the search division here who wants to talk with ya!" yelled the guy with his head towards the kitchen.
'Search division?' thought the female as she went towards the door. Her brother took the hint and walked up to his room. "I'm Yukiko, what can I help you with?" inquired Yukiko as she looked at the official.

NPC Overseer Garin Natsuki

Upon coming face-to-face with the young woman who addressed herself as Yukiko Fuyumori, Garin would issue yet another courteous bow. "Good day." He replied, holding up the envelope for Yukiko to see. "My name is Garin Natsuki, head overseer of the Raikage's search and rescue division. I've been entrusted to hand over this inheritance letter to you. It belonged to the late Nidaime Raikage-- Atlas Burabiya." Giving a deft nod, to affirm that the young woman understood this, he'd tentatively hand over the white envelope. "It's yours."

The weight of the key that was inside of it was quite evident. But, perhaps what would catch Yukiko's interest the most, would be the letter contained within. Garin would stand quietly before her as she opened the envelope. Part of him wanted to know what was on that letter, to see the Nidaime Raikage's story to the end. But another part of him wanted to put this... all of this, behind him. Kumogakure no Sato, the shinobi life. It came with too much despair. Too much sadness. And, for a moment, he wished he could instantly be on that farm he had imagined. But he stayed, as was his duty. He would be here to answer any inquiries the young woman might have soon.

The key glimmered with a sterling silver shine. And the contents of the neatly folded letter were the following:

[/center]
I cannot tell you that I have had an overall "good" life. Or that I died without the pain of regret brewing in my heart. I could not tell you these things, as they would most certainly be a lie. But what I can tell you is this: during a time when I had contemplated ending my life here, I am glad to have bumped into that little girl at the market. I am glad to have ended up meeting you. My trusting, and sweet, little sister. The one person who has stood beside me throughout my entire journey since. My guiding light in the darkness of a war-ravaged world.

I've seen you grow into a promising young woman since we've met. And words cannot express how proud I am of you. You've persevered through your exams, you've juggled your personal life with that of the kunoichi perfectly, and-- if you keep that spirit up-- I have absolutely no doubt that you'll reach heights no other shinobi has ever reached before. Just keep at it, Snow Pea. And never forget what I've taught you: to follow your own path, and fight for what you believe in.

While I consider you and Hirihi the most trusting people I know, I haven't exactly been too open about a lot of things. My past. My secrets. My true ambitions. And, though I wish I could be there in person to express them to you, I wouldn't feel right putting these details on paper. So just know that I was a man with many burdens. And many losses. And I tried my best to ensure that Kumogakure no Sato, and its people, would not have to endure the sort of anguish I've been put through. And no, I'm not talking about the shuriken Asa lodged into my behind at Ran's Teashop. (Sarcasm) Ha, ha.

In this envelope, I've placed a copy of my apartment key. I want you to head in there, and I want you to open the wooden chest hidden within my study. There's something I want you to have. When you've retrieved it, feel free to hand over the key to Hirihi, so that she may clear out the abode. And try looking after her for me, yeah? I can't-- I don't want to imagine what could be going through her mind. And I need her to live a happy, fulfilling life.

Our regiment is just about ready to leave now, so I'm cutting this letter short-- er, shorter than it was supposed to be. But... live well, little sister. Take care of yourself.

And, kiddo?

Thank you. For everything.

Sincerely yours,

Atlas Taisho Burabiya.

"Good day. My name is Garin Natsuki, head overseer of the Raikage's search and rescue division. I've been entrusted to hand over this inheritance letter to you. It belonged to the late Nidaime Raikage-- Atlas Burabiya." told the male. He then handed her an envelope that said 'It's yours' on the front.

The female opened up the envelope to see what was inside. Her eyes widened a little bit when she saw the key that laid in there. 'Hm? What's this?' thought Yukiko when she saw the piece of paper that laid there as well. She removed it from the envelope and started to read what was written there.

Ice blue eyes widened in shock when she had finished the second paragraph...this confirmed her WORST suspicions. She had not heard anything from her senpai in more than a year but his body had not been found at the morgue yet. Tears formed in her eyes and she did not attempted to blink them away due to the sadness of this.
Atlas had been her senpai for so long; they had been on all sorts of missions as well as events together. Not to mention that he had learned her a number of important jutsus.

'I better keep reading. I need to find out what this key is for' thought the young woman after a couple of minutes. She wiped away her tears before she continued to read what the man had written. Both of her eyes widened again when she realized that he had left EVERYTHING in his apartment to her.
'But...this means that I may buy an apartment to move into! Maybe he has some stuff that I can use on missions too!' thought the Chuunin.

She felt a little happier when she realized that she would at least have something to remember him by. But who was this Hirihi person? It certainly rung a bell; maybe it was someone who had worked with them on a mission or something.
A small laugh escaped her lips when she read the end of the letter. The female felt a bit touched too because the former Raikage was proud of her plus the potential he saw in her.

"I would like to go to the apartment now please. I don't have anything important today. Oh, I suppose I don't need my parents to come with me since I'm 20 now" informed the brunette.
Her twentieth birthday had been for a couple weeks ago...it was one of her best birthdays EVER. But it was sad that the male had been unable to show up there.

"Of course." Garin replied, gesturing towards the street behind them. "Allow me to escort you, Miss Fuyumori."

-- Exit to Market District Penthouse.

"Off course. Allow me to escort you miss Fuyumori" replied the male. "Guys! I'll be gone for a while. I've got my communication device with me in case you need to call me" yelled the female as she put on her coat.

She then followed Garin towards the market district in Kumogakure. 'I wonder what's left in there' thought Yukiko as she walked down the street. Come to think of it, she had NEVER visited the male's apartment before.
A part of her was a bit curious to see what was left behind. He HAD been one of the previous Raikages...perhaps it was a scroll with some jutsus on or something?
