@ukiteki liked this for a starter || Raindrops of Ruby.
Not so gently had he been ordered to report to the Raikage’s
office for discussion. Civil discussion had never been his forte
, yet here he stood, obediently agreeing to the mission he had
been handed moments before. He was to meet with a medic-nin
of Amegakure. Why, he wanted to ask. He hesitated. Questioning
the Raikage’s antics was never a good idea, so he played along.
Adroit were his fingers as they curled around the edge of the papers,
briefly reading through them before setting the small stack back down.
It was his way of agreeing –– Everyone seemed to acknowledge the fact
that he wasn’t good with conversing.
At this moment he was gliding gracefully through the forest, a certain
eloquence which laid dormant at times now present within his lissome
limbs, allowing him to move in nigh-silence.
Thoughts flowed as steadily as the blood in his veins. The Chinoike
supposed he had been chosen for this because, naturally, he could
relate to those of Ame; Kazuma originated from a place that had seen
heavy war.
It took him longer than intended to get there but upon his arrival, he
slowly stepped into the heavily industrialized Village with a cautious
shift of his weight. Rain –– it was beautiful, to say the least. The rhythm
it made as it fell seemed to sooth him; it did, but only his soul –– His mind
was still on edge : rigid, tense.
Only one entity was within his vision, he fixated on it.
❝ Are you Ukiyoe Onao ? I was sent to meet you, ❞ said he with a clear voice.
Approaching without hesitation now, crimson optics remained focused ahead.
