Village Entrance

Subject: Village Entrance Mon Oct 08, 2007 4:07 pm

The village is surrounded by a thick, high, stone wall. The entrance looks the same as the walls. With a few twists of the large wheels, the gate opens vertically. There are four gaurds always keeping watch of who enters and leaves the village, as well was making sure nothing strange is going on at the outside of the village.

A Shinobi walked slowly down the road into Tenpi, His steps filled with an easy grace. He stood about 6' 5" with dark Black Hair and unnatural steel gray eye's. The robes he wore were of an unusual cut, the sleeves extended past his knees while walking and past his waist when he crossed his arms, hiding his hands completely.

The upper robe was held closed with a gray sash that matched the two tone black and gray tunic. His pants were baggy and loose and hid is feet. Around his neck was a single leather strap strung through Red Clay Cherry Blossom the size of a dime. His hair was long to his shoulders and held back with a head back with the Iwagakure emblem on the plate which faced backwards.

The most noticeable feature was the Massive pack he wore. Roughly the height of Gaara's gourd and as wide around at the bottom half it seemed almost to large to carry. It's shape and lack of noise hinted nothing of what might be inside.

The boy walked with his hands in his Pockets into the village, silent, nameless...

It was bright and early...a little too bright, and a little too early for Ichijin's liking. C-rank mission, no problem. Waking up at 4 in the morning; not that big of a problem....But since he had to wake Kansou up in time for the mission, it was the worst problem.

For someone as sweet as Kansou, you'd expect him to be happy and awake in the morning, but that's not exactly the case. Ichijin never liked going into the topic of morning with Kansou. Especially since the last time he had to wake him up, Ichijin ended up with a spraned ankle.

Ichijin sighed and ran a hand through his choppy silver hair. He darted his eyes around the area, a few shrubs near the gate, a small stand were two jounins took shifts, watching who went in and out of the village, and the beginning of a tall wall surrounding the small village.

Himoto yawned and adjusted her headband a few times. The three were waiting for the lady they had to escort.

Yawning, Kansou stratched out his arms and breathed in the morning air before leaning against the enormous wall. It was a bit too early in the morning for him, and if he hurt Ichijin in any physical way, he probably would not know about it until later in the day. He was never too fond of mornings, mainly because he has no idea what he is doing when he was tired.

Kansou tried to rub the sleepiness out of his eyes before looking ahead of him. Heading toward the village's entrance, and the team, was an elderly woman, along with a man behind her following with a fairly large crate. The wooden box was strapped onto a board with wheels, making it less difficult to move the crate around. Finally stopping in front of the young group, the old woman only looked at the three before speaking.

"Team Kasumi, I presume?" she asked.

"Hai." Ichijin responded sharply and alert.

"The customer we're supposed to escort, correct?" He stretched out his arm to shake hands with the elderly lady.

The old woman only stood and observed the three for a moment, mainly staring at Ichijin before her old wrinkly, thin lips curled into a smile.

"Oh! I can already tell this group is full of youth!" she said as she reached up to pitch Ichijin's cheeks. You're also quite a cute looking bunch!" The woman let go of the boy's cheeks after a few seconds of pinching them pretty hard. She laughed before turning to Kansou, who appeared like he was the walking dead this morning.

"Eh... I really can't say the same for that boy though..."

Finally snapping out of his sleepy state, Kansou suddenly woke, and turned his head to the elderly woman, sending her a smile. It looks like there was a certain time in the morning where he will actually act like his perky self.

"Oh! Ohayou! I'm Kansou!" he said in a cheerful tone as he waved.

Ichijin rubbed his cheek quietly. Oh boy was he gonna have bruises.

Himoto cleared her throat and picked up her pack. "Sooo...Should we get moving soon?" She tried to hurry up the elderly woman, without sounding too rude. She really wanted to get this mission over with.

"One moment child! I haven't even introduced myself yet!" the elderly woman said, somewhat delaying their trip. She cleared her throat and stood up straight before speaking again. "Now then... My name is Sakana, but feel free to call me Obaa-chan... Or Granny... And that over there is my noticeable large crate, which you three will be moving for me. Sounds fun, huh?" She pointed to the box behind her. "Well, I'm done. If you two don't feel like introducing yourselves, then let us move on, shall we?" She smiled.

Himoto sighed. She really didn't like old people.

"I'm Yuuzora Himoto. These two usually call me Momo." She tried her best to flash a totally not-cheesey smile at the old lady.

"Oroshi, Ichijin." He smiled as well. "Just Ichijin is fine." He zipped up the front of his jacket and began to walk over to the cart. "I'm sorry we were a bit rude. We just want to get the mission over with, This is the 6th one this week."

"Well, it's a pleasure to have an adorable bunch such as yourselves escorting me back home." Sakana said. Though, I'm sorry to hear that this is your sixth mission. But with that, you'll be able to gain more experience, am I right?"

"That's right." Kansou replied as he also walked over to the crate. He placed his hands on it, ready to assist him in moving it. "I don't really mind having missions like this though. They're fun sometimes, and better than staying in the village doing D-ranked missions."

Himoto joined the two others at the crates side. "Well, introductions aside, shall we go now?"

"Yeah, it's best if we leave now so we don't have to travel at night." Ichijin chimed in.

"Himoto, it might be a good idea for you to help Obaa-baachan." Kansou said as he watched the konoichi make her way over to where they were standing. "Ichi and I can candle this crate."

"Alright, if you three are ready," The old woman nodded as she turned to face the gap in the wall that surrounded the village. They were finally going to be headed to the outside of the village, where their long journey to Suichuu will began. Suddenly, Sakana made a pose, with her finger pointing at the sky.

"To the Underwater Village we go!" she said as she began to march off. For an elderly woman, she seemed a bit lively.

"Oh boy." Himoto mumbled to herself.

"Himoto's gonna have a lot of fun on the mission." Ichijin laughed to Kansou. The two boys began to push the crate, and left the gate of the village.

[[ Enter from Main Village ]]

After the encounter with a new friend named Shugo, Sayuri finally arrived at the village's main gate after leaving the main area of the village. There was currently no one there, except for the two guards keeping watch at each side of the entrance. There was another pair standing on top of the wall, where the control for opening the gate is located.

The red-head walked over the the wall and leaned against it, waiting for the other three to show up. Perhaps the clock in the shop was wrong and she arrived too early, or maybe everyone else was just tardy.

"Morning." Natsuo said to his charge walking out of the trees on the outskirts of the city. "I'm assuming the other two will be coming shortly? Or at least Minota I hope."
