The Fire's Shadow

Hmm? What is it, stranger? If you seek the Hokage, I suggest you look elsewhere. I've not been Hokage since...my death nearly sixteen years ago. Hmm? What's that? You want to know how I'm still here, eh? THAT, friend...is a story for another time. //AU Archangel Minato//

      Lips pursed faintly, eyes narrowing in thought. His mind wandered back to what he had gleaned about the town and it’s history, both from reading and from his lover.

                    “Ah yes… you are said to be long gone, aren’t you?”

      His countenance brightened with curiosity anew, a wry smirk flickering in passing for he could relate. Such were the woes of immortality, at least with his experience. Though… he was uncertain if that was what this was. Tawny wings fluttered discreetly against his back as the thought crossed his mind.

                     “You are like others I have met, then? An Angel?”

The blonde gave thought to the other’s words. How he became what he was....was unpleasant. He could still see the destruction. But it would not do to dwell on such matters.

He adjusted his golden wings slightly and nodded, smiling wryly.

“I believe so, yes...”

       Once the handshake had been completed his arm dropped back his side, a returning smile given. “It’s a pleasure, Minato.” Though he wasn’t familiar enough with the other for the use of nicknames yet, even one as simple as a moniker curtailment, the fact that he was associated with a place that he now considered a practical second home had set him almost fully at ease. That and the male’s amiable demeanor.

       “So, what is a former Hokage doing so far away from the Leaf Village?” He questioned, one brow rising to accompany the inquiry.

"Ah... you are not the first, nor the last, to ask that question... it's a fair enough query." he paused "It's...um....rather hard to live in a village when the inhabitants know you to be dead, no?" and they would be right... well...in a manner.

Angels didn't really count as 'human' though most had been at one point. They all shared a common trait. They had died and the people upstairs thought they were of good enough heart to take on another form. Or something like that. To be honest, Minato had no clue how any of that worked.

"I have returned!"

[senju-swag]

NOTHING IS OK AND EVERYTHING HURTS. 

[zephyrharbor]

*swoon* I can bear it no longer! Goblin King! Goblin King! Wherever you may be take this child of mine far away from me! No, I mean.. take my virginity!

OH dear gods

[zephyrharbor]

Come on.. say it. You know you want to. Here.. I'll start it off for you. *takes in a deep breath* 'How you turn my world, you precious thing~'

You starve and near exhaust me.Everything I've done,I've done for you.I move the stars for no one.You've run so long.You've run so far.Your eyes can be so cruel,Just as I can be so cruel,Oh I do believe in you.Yes I do.Live without your sunlight.Love without your heartbeat.

He's not David Bowie. But he'll play along

[zephyrharbor]

You're him, aren't you? You're the Goblin King!

"……? The who? The…what? " he sets down his coffee and stares at the grey face for a moment.  "I’m pretty sure I don’t know what you mean"

[foreverandeverwasalie-deactivat]

The blonde found himself smiling at his question, the grin spreading across his face in an easy manner. There was of course the practical reason of hiding his wings, but the other didn’t need to know that just yet.

"Hokage…it’s what we call the man or woman who leads our VIllage… he or she is responsible for governing and protecting all the citizens of the Leaf Village, we are the first to be summoned when the Village is in danger and the last to leave. It’s….it’s like a President of sorts…"

       Recognition sparked, expression taking on both mild surprise and an increase in interest. “Leaf Village? Konohagakure.. I know it.” Now he felt foolish. He should have been aware of such a term by then. “Itachi never told me what the village leader was called…”

        Clearing his throat he stepped forwards, holding out a hand for a proper greeting. “My apologies.. It’s time for an appropriate introduction, it seems. John. John Blaylock. And you are?”

[zephyrharbor]

Uchiha Itachi... what a wonderful man to be associated with. A man braver and wiser than even to first Hokage... as was said from the First himself.. How lucky..

"John Blaylock, huh?" a pause as the former Hokage tasted the name on his tongue, and found that he liked it, before he shook the other's hand with a smile.

"My name...? I am Minato Namikaze... or just Minato...or Mina, for short"
