Tea Time

The Hyuuga Heir opened his eyes to see a puddle of scarelet fluids around his being. His finger tips branded red. He attempted to move his body, from the surface, but for some reason couldn't move, just yet. Widening his opticals he knew why he couldn't react to the commands his brain gave. He was wounded, and there seemed to be a woman standing over him, with young yellow hai. She reached his hand out to him as she gazed into his eyes, but it was nothing more than a mirage. Opening his palms he sat down once more to resume his mediation, when he began hearing a small pitter patter of foot steps.

Kyou whistled a tune. It seemed he found himself coming through this area almost daily. He liked it here, the wind blowing through his unkept hair. On his shoulder, his bird sat with a look of anger on his face as usual. Those golden hawk's eyes glowering at everything nearby. Hands in his pockets, Kyou found himself lost in the tranquility. His eyes however seemed to deceive him as he found a man meditating randomly. It wasn't often he found someone other than himself there. Interested, he walked over. "Hello. Nice day, huh?"

“Forty seven…forty eight…forty nine…fifty…” Kaelos counted out loud to herself as she was practicing her slashing movements of her katana against a dummy that she has made for herself. Her eyes closed as she started to put her blade away into the sheath that was at one of her hips. She started to sense around her for any other chakras, finding at least two of them and they were together. “Why would others be out here…?” She whispered to herself before she started to walk in their direction. As she got close enough to see them, she stopped a few feet away from them. Giving them as well as herself a lot of space, as she was not used to being nice to others since she hasn’t been given kindness except for one person and he’s not here. “Hello.” She greeted the two males.

Uson masaged his lips with a stroke of hist tongue, before replying to his fellow peers.
To his eyes he saw fairly average looking man short black. Upon his shoulder sat an inhuman enity. The waterfall kept dancing smoothly over the the slabs of stone as an irrestible force. Uson looked into the sky where there was no clouds, but only a shinning start bleeding it's rays of light upon him.

"Yes, it is a nice day indeed"

Uson said as a female with scarelet hair, whose lenght rivaled his. She spoke onto Uson, and his peer with one word indicating a simple greeting.

"Hello, I am Uson"

He said looking weary of the female. The boy was fine, but females were decitful it was part of their nature. Uson calmly returned to his silent status as he would ease drop on the two in an attempt to learn their weakness and strenght.

Kyou sighed and moved his hands from his pockets to a crossed position. The hair ruffling his hair once more. He held a carefree smile, his bird glaring about as usual, the first to notice the female's presence. It snapped its eyes to the girl, eyes narrowing slightly before relaxing and preening.

Trying to keep a friendly demeanor, Kyou turned to the woman and grinned; ear to ear. "Hello Miss." His eyes closed briefly as he let off a soft chuckle. Oddly enough though the other two had sort of had a blank or negative aura, but oddly enough he kept a grin on his face. There was an awkward silence and he ran a hand through his hair. "So.... uhmmm you two come here often?" He felt stupid with that line, but at least it broke the atmosphere. Kyou came here to enjoy the breeze and allow his falcon free range, with how often he did, he was surprised he had never met the others before.

Kaelos quirked a brow as she eyed the falcon that was on one male’s shoulder as it glared at her before relaxing and preening it’s feathers. “Interesting companion you have…has quite an attitude…a falcon indeed.” She stated as she looked over the bird, her words meant to be her way of complimenting the bird in an indirect way. The female reaches into a pocket of hers that was originally hidden on her body, pulling out a piece of meat. Her hand held the piece of meat in the palm of her hand as she silently offered it to the bird of prey. It was up to the bird if it wanted the food or not, as it was just her showing respect for it. She looked to the male who owned the bird and nodded her head to him before she heard the other male tell them his name. “You can call me Kaelos.” She introduced herself as she moved a bit closer to them and moved to sit down on the ground. Her legs crossed Indian style as she rests her upper back against the trunk of a tree. She closes her eyes a bit as she nods her head to the question that was asked. “Yes…I usually train here by myself. I’m surprised that others come out such a far distance.” She replied before she opens her eyes and runs a hand through her long hair. “Sorry for my being quiet, I am not used to…talking with others who isn’t my cousin.” She stated as she watches the two males, her body slowly relaxing.

The giant statues of Madara and the first Hokage cast a giant shadow over the base of the waterfall. The warm sun beginning to set in the cloudless sky. The only sounds heard are the birds and the crashing sound of the falling water. At the top of the statue of Madara, a black figure crouched, looking over the scene. His cloak flowing in the gentle breeze. Under the hood of his cloak, beyond the never ending darkness that shrouded his face from the view of others, he held a soft smile. His Sharp grey eyes following the flying birds, and the falling water. He always enjoyed leaving the dull village of Kumogakure, where the rain seemed to never stop falling. Although he never admitted it, he wished to leave kumo, go to a village more peaceful where he can relax when he's not on missions. After a few moments of peace while looking at the scene, he slowly stood up, eyes looking down over the statue's edge. He knew the water at the bottom was deep, so with a sigh, he jumped off.

He fell at a great speed, diving into the water. After mere moments he reached the surface and jumped out onto the shore. With a sigh, he sat on a rock in the sunlight, letting the warmth quickly warm him up and dry him off. The bottom of the waterfall seemed even more gorgeous, the sun sparkled off the water and smooth wet rocks that formed a path to the shore on the other side. Where he noticed a beaten training dummy. He had looked just in time to see a girl circle around a corner and vanish. Getting up quickly, Koku sprinted across the smooth rocks, quickly passing the dummy and quietly looking around the corner. There stood the girl, with two males. All of them looked to be from the leaf village. He distinctly noticed one of them had a hawk on his shoulder. The area was small, overlooking a huge stretch of water, forming a large river of water. Clearly the waterfall was just a small part that fed this monster of a river. A small cabin is modestly hiding in the shadows of the overhanging cliff, and very little trees grew.

Quietly he stepped out from hiding, the demonic looking male stepped forward towards the three of them, virtually silent with his footsteps. Keeping a good distance from them, he stepped behind one of the few large trees in the area, leaning against it and quietly listening to the small group. He began to wonder what they were doing in this are, when it's so close to dusk. So he simply watched, and listened for now. Deciding if they are friend of foe.

What began as a delightful night rest promptly developed into a nightmare for the majority of the inhabitants of the Leaf Village. The pace at which the day progressed into tribulation was frightening more than anything else. Like a thief in the night, the Village Hidden in the Leaves was rapidly and unexpectedly embezzled off their contentment and overwhelmed by the multitude of ethereal beings, with an odd behaviour and zeal to cause havoc, which was successfully done. The Leaf Village had been brought down to ruins and the inhabitants, unfortunately for the many, had fallen into the hands of their aggressors. The young Aburame was part of that unfortunate crew.

He had fallen victim, but not in the way the rest of the flock had. Unbeknownst to him, his village was in a calamitous state; and he had no one to caution or inform him. No relatives around, he was living in a secluded area, away from trouble and the daily annoyance he encountered, or so he hoped. As one of his intelligence and background, it would be almost impossible to be taken down so abrupt and unforeseen, but he was. A drink of water subsequently led to his descent; though he made an ample advance away from the village prior.

But why did he? Perhaps he acknowledged the fact that lingering around would do no good but harm to the fortunate ones, or maybe he was still clueless and simply had the objective of fleeing from his aggressors? Only time would reveal the Aburame’s initial ambition and the doomed circumstance of his being. The bacterium had commenced its purpose, disguising itself as a simple cold flu, which Chinou immediately found bizarre. How would he go about catching a cold now? He hadn’t come in contact with anyone with flu in the precedent days and he had kept wholesome. Something was astray. Besides, cold had symptoms; it just didn’t manifest itself in an instant.

“Where did I saunter off to now? How did I end up here?” A puzzled expression came over his face as he found himself in the Valley of the End. He wasn’t alone here, that was definite. Who else ... did they ... were they... are they? How many – about four, maybe. Some associates, perhaps? Now he was developing a fever. Just what the hell did he eat this time around? This was no food poisoning, something was becoming of him. Something vile and atrocious, but it wasn’t enough to halt his advancement towards the group.

Uson, was state of mind had began to transcend from lull to a mild plague of pique. Who were these other plebeians? Uson's reigon of silence was removed as each fragment of exisitence stepped into the realm of Valley's End. All fragments were village peers excluding one, who had rudely hidden himself from the others. The man, and vixen seemed to be engaged in tongue with one another, but with his mighy eyes. He would scan the area to see just how many more fragments were in this area. His optical began to break away from normalism as the mutaion was complete he began to count each heart inside the beating chest.


Uson said nothing but kept his eyes on the duo as he began to scan the interlooper. The waft began to swim over the village peers, but Uson's Byakugan marked the man who turned the manaja twa into a legion of four. Looking on Uson, began to view another enity, but was horrified by what he saw. It was some type of abomination, whose body was a living orgy to thousands of insects. Uson was digusted, but even more interested in planing a counter incase he had to take his life. Staying silent for the time. Uson was intriuged that this was the first Aburame he had seen in person. He had heard of them, but stories can only speak so much.

Kyou smiled warmly at the woman as she rummaged in her pockets after complimenting his bird. It made him feel good and as he looked at Zeke, that mood sort of emit from his very being. The bird gave a curious glare. Its eyes piercing as always as the woman pulled something out. The bird gave sort of a proud look, puffing out its chest upon being complimented as if to say "Yeah I know I'm awesome'. This left Kyou to chuckle. "Thanks, just don't compliment him too much, it'll go to his head." The bird let out a sort of screech of defiance before nipping at the dangling gold from Kyou's ear. Kyou winced and gave the bird a strange look, "Well it's true." The bird ruffled his feathers and shuffled his position walking with his talons along the length of the boy's shoulder. It oddly didn't bother the man despite the obvious scratches that lingered.

A scent caught the bird's attention and it lowered its posture simply staring. His eyes glued onto the prize. His body walked up and down Kyou's shoulder a few times before he spread his wings and lunged for the meat. Capturing it in his beak, he swallowed it up, by swooping up to her shoulder. There he sat with a sort of expression that said one wrong move and he was gonna run(fly) for it. She seemed nice enough despite her saying she was mean. Kyou was used to that, as well Kyou was used to people in general; the social and anti social. "Kaelos? That's a nice name. I'm Takuro Takeda, however feel free to call me Kyou. It's a lot easier." A smile and a chuckle as he gave his bird a sly look. "The little guy on your shoulder is my best friend, his name is Zeke."

There was a silence as a couple more people joined. Kyou didn't mind, but Zeke seemed to tense. The bird let off a screech and flapped his wings, his beak a sort of stained red from the meat. His feathers ruffled before dying back down to their flat positions, though his eyes still pierced. The man known as Uson seemed to remain silent in a meditation, which made Kyou feel like an ass for interrupting something so important. One man approached, a blond who seemed just as confused as everyone else, the other hidden from Kyou's eyes. Kyou gave the blond a warm smile, welcoming him before turning back to the woman and laughing softly. "Well you must have a way with animals." His voice held a teasing tone to lighten the atmosphere. Kyou was no womanizer, he wasn't trying to flirt, he was simply making a compliment. Everyone was treated equal in his eyes, as long as they didn't hurt those around him. With a slight shift, he sat down, one leg extended, the other bent at the knee. His arms in a sort of matching, one arm draped over his knee, the other supporting him.

However his eyes caught the way the sun was in the sky. Kyou frowned, standing up he looked around. "I have somewhere I must be, and I apologize." He gave a brisk wave before motioning for his bird. Flapping a few times, the bird soon landed on his shoulder once more as the boy disappeared.

Kaelos would turn her head ever so slightly to the left as she thought she heard or at least sensed someone approach. But from the corner of her eye she didn’t see anyone, but then again they were all ninjas so whoever it was could still be there hidden or could be gone. If she was a betting woman, which she is, she’ll bet that whoever she heard or sensed from before was still around. Hm…a silent shadow… She thought to herself before she noticed another person start to head right towards them. This male seemed to not be fully healthy just by the looks of it and the coughing she heard as the male got closer to the three of them. She didn’t move as she smirked a bit as she seemed to have made friends with the falcon at least when the bird of prey decided to fly over to her in order to get the piece of meat she held out in her open palm for the avian hunter. “Rare for me to even compliment.” She stated as she didn’t flinch in pain or shock when the bird would flap it’s wings and moved about on her shoulder.

“A pleasure Kyou.” She said as she nodded her head to him before she turned her head to look at the bird that was on her shoulder. “The same is said to you Zeke.” She stated before she looked over to the male that haven’t spoken a single word since he introduced himself to them by merely stating his name and nothing else. When the male she spotted from before reached them by now, she lightly places her hand that had previously offered a piece of meat to Zeke on the bird’s back when he calmed down from ruffling his feathers and letting out a screech. “Indeed I do. They tend to be better company then most of the people I have came across.” She agreed while she nodded her head, removing her hand from Zeke’s back so as not to make him feel uncomfortable on her shoulder. Her eyebrow raised up in slight suspicion though when Kyou sat down only to stand back up once more. “There’s no reason for me to stop you. Perhaps we will meet once more.” She said as she waved slightly in return to Kyou as well as Zeke before both of them disappeared. She too then looked up to the sky, as if trying to tell the time from the positioning that was above her. “I should get back to training. Farewell.” She said as she looked from the sky back to the two males that were in her sight. She then turned and started to walk in the direction from where she had come from before. All the while, in the back of her mind she had felt that they were being watched by someone and she didn’t want to reveal information about herself to those she doesn’t trust since they have never met her before.

He coughed and coughed, again and again. The blazing sensation within his neck irritated him deeply. The sharp pain that shot through his throat when he coughed wasn’t helping; and his blood-stained lips definitely hinted his most recent misfortune. He stopped short, just before he stepped into the group and began to contemplate deeply. The young Aburame did not know what was becoming of him, but he did have his suspicions: maybe it wasn’t a simple cold, but a global virus in the Leaf village. Only if the young Aburame know the aquatic system of the Leaf Village had been contaminated by the infiltrating entities of the Leaf Village; but his intellect eventually acquainted him with such knowledge and he came to realize the truth – as horrifying as it was – he was one of them, they got him.

He had fallen, but the ones before him still had the chance to escape the hands of his custodians. He was owned by them now. Just another puppet to utilize and fulfill their deeds, but while he still could, he backed up and fled away from the scene in a commendable flight. He disappeared off into the woods and wasn’t to be seen again, for a while. He would, no doubt, leave the group in enigma.
