Ah, he knew that chakra. Though he had extinguished use of his eyes, Hashirama’s cells still gave him the Sage’s ability to sense living things, rendering him with some way of perceiving the world. Behind bars and copious amounts of sealing jutsu not even the Hokage could disengage alone, the man sat in the lotus position, listening, perceiving. Catching glimpses through fragmentary snippets of the guards who thought he couldn’t hear them, of vibrations in the earth. Subtle things he shouldn’t have been able to. Yet, when he sensed a particular kind of chakra and the paths running through the man that wielded it, Madara barely concealed the smirk upon his lips when the man himself entered.

“You're not alone.” (doesn't have to be correlated to my muse, just wanted to see what you would do with this lol.)

He looks like a child in distress, with the blood on his tunic and on the white weapon he carries—is that bone? But the blood is not his own. On his red-speckled face is a smile. When the green-clad man speaks to him, Kimimaro draws himself up to his full, tiny height.

“Oh, I know. I’m not alone,” he agrees. “I have Orochimaru-sama. He will be proud of me. I completed the mission!”

“Neji, my valued student! The ritual of All Hallows Eve approaches! Claiming gifts of candy from our fellow man while barring someone else’s attire!” He pumped a fist in the air as if the useless explanation of Trick or Treating was something important. Gai wasn't exactly sure Hyugas partook of such childlike activities, being the pretentious clan they were, and wanted to clarify in case Neji had not heard of it. Which of course Neji had.. “Lee already has a costume planned, what shall you wear?”

One day. Neji just wanted one day where he could train or just hang around his team without either Lee or Gai’s antics. What kind of stupid question was that? Did Gai truly think the Hyuga clan participated in something as trivial and juvenile as Halloween? Neji remained sat in his meditative pose, hands in his lap. He didn’t even bother opening his eyes to address his teacher. “Sleep attire,” Neji answered simply, in almost a deadpan tone, after taking a deep breath. Sleep attire, as in that night he planned on going straight to bed after any training or missions he was going to carry out that day.

“Gai......” The silver-haired shinobi glanced over towards his comrade with a low sigh, the typical degree of exasperation in Kakashi’s voice, though no small amount of exhaustion was also apparent as he spoke.

“What are you doing here?” In the aftermath of everything, Kakashi had been told to resort only to bed rest. And while this was certainly a break that the jounin had been looking forward to, he had to admit that such recovery periods were dull for the man, and that he’d much rather get to spend them home, than in a hospital.

Certainly a mood that most people could relate to.

But now Gai was here, which definitely meant that this period of resting wouldn’t be as necessarily restful as the ninja would have assumed it would be. “Did the doctor not say I should be getting my rest?”

This type of deflection was pretty typical for Kakashi honestly, he wasn’t really the kind of person who’d openly admit the appreciation of company. But being around most people made him uncomfortable. He didn’t like being around people who’d known him for so long, and Gai had been at the very least acquainted in some capacity, if not allies and friends, for over two decades at this point.

It was bad enough that they had been in his home, now they wanted to dictate the temperature of it. Neji followed the others movements, eyes narrowing a little more with each step his sensei had taken across the creaky floorboards. He was sure the other had some excuse or another for trying to give him a cold.  Turning his head, he let out a huff, the air already so cold that his breath was showing. He muttered under his breath, the blank look on his face returning as the elder man continued.  Leaning back on his hands he lets out a breath he calmed himself. Then stretched out a foot, to gently kick some of the wood burning in the middle of the room into the fire pit more.  " It's just winter. There's hardly any nature at this time." Looking toward the other, he stares, watching them intently "The air is nice, when it's cold." Before he could help himself he turned his head away, realizing he had been happy that the other had showed up. Rather than annoyed by them, even if they had been opening all the windows, a faint smile inched onto his lips “ My day wouldn’t have started of, or even ended right, if I didn’t see you at least once. I suppose.” Neji says, trying to seem casual and dismissive about it. attempting to undersell what he was saying.

“I’m sure there’s an explanation.” This wasn’t exactly the strangest thing she’d caught Gai doing, but strange and Gai tended to go hand in hand, along with flamboyance and ‘manliness’. “And I’m sure Tsunade-sama will not like any explanations you might have...”

"Hello Gai. I expected you to come back only tomorrow, but that's good. I hope you brought some good news?"

‘ did you just sass me? ’ —for anko

* family prompts

Anko’s cocky smirk remained, “Yes I did.”  The purple-haired kunoichi seemed more playful than spiteful though, so at least the sass wasn’t too harsh.  “Can’t ya take some sass, Gai, or have ya gotten soft?”
