The Dango Shop; Saruno's Meeting [Private]

Saruno was just wandering the streets of the great village of Saruno, in a newly formed 'Henge' version of his older brother, Kuroyami. The streets were busy, as he expected it to be after being gone from the village for so long. He longed for a good taste of Dango dumplings, as he so craved for the past years on end. It's be night and day of fighting, killing people he hated, but it seemed he just wanted a bit of downtime, a time to himself, and have a bit of fun once in awhile. Sliding through the streets of crowded people, gracefully dodging each person with just a twirl of his foot, avoiding being hit by elbows, knees, palms, anything.

Within a short motion of getting from the busy street, he came across a large dango shop, glass windows and door, it seemed to be a bit fancy. But, as all things he wanted, he wanted those dumplings for himself as it seemed. Slowly making his way into the shop, sliding his right palm to the handle of the door, and pushing it inwards, where it was supposed to, walking into the shop with small taps of the steps he made into the shop with his shoes against the tile floor. Fancy enough, but hey, something worth traveling for. After coming into the shop, he began to slide over to the counter, setting a small bit of a stack of money onto the counter, "Six rolls of Dango please" he said within a calm sort of voice, seeing as the person behind the counter nodded, walking off to the back of the room behind him. Something as boring as this, made Saruno wish there was something more in his life.

The girl sat watching as the man entered, he seemed very cautious. A plate of sweet dumplings sat on the table, currently being demolished by the young fox beside her. His sleek black muzzle was soiled up to his big blue eyes in sauce. When the man ordered at the counter, she snarled slightly as she found she couldnt look away. She knew him somehow. Not in a sense that she'd met him, but his presence, his scent was faintly familiar.

Lightly tapping her fingers on the table, it was a nervous gesture. Her features stayed expressionless as always, her pale gray eyes looking over every detail of him. Thoughts were racing about in her mind as if she was trying to recall something, but what? 'This man..Who exactly is he?'

Within a short motion of the dumplings being set on the plate before him, Saruno just simply picked it up, not an emotion showing as he did. The dumplings swayed a bit on the tray he had as he began to move over to the table nearest the counter, having 3 chairs, a small table, and a napkin over the middle of it. Setting the tray down, his eyes shifted over to a small girl at the end of the room, a small fox next to her, eating away at dumplings. A spark in his memory began to shift around his thoughts. It was like, he knew her.

Tilting his head a bit, seeing her small features, emotionless, it seemed the girl didn't have much emotion to begin with. But, with pale, gray eyes, he knew something was familiar, yet he couldn't point out what. 'W-who is she?' he thought to himself.

The man looked over at her. Eyes locked. It seemed they were studying eachother, he was just as confused as she was. Her companion looked over at her as the nevous tapping accelerated in speed. She stood from the chair swiftly, not moving an inch from where she stood. Reluctantly, the young pup leaped from the table, gliding to the girl's side. Confused as to why she was staring at the tall man with such intent, he crouched slightly into a fighting stance. With a growl, the young girl snapped a restraining arm in front of the fox. " He's a friend! "

At those words, her body froze in shock from the strong emotion in her voice. Her head slowly raised to meet the man's again, her eyes moist as she trembled all over. 'Who the hell is he?!'

Swaying his right palm before him to a dumpling swaying slowly under it, being picked up lightly with his chakra. Sliding the dumpling from the stick, he placed just a small bit in his mouth, chewing on it with a bit of ease. "Friend?" he said under his swallowing of the dumpling chunk, "You seem familiar some how...who are you?" he continued, slowly setting the rest of the dumpling down. Standing up from his chair, letting it slide back with the motion of his legs pushing against it.

A small bit of motion from his jacket let a small furry object appear from the edges, making Saruno twitch a bit with a claw being poked into his chest. "Nami...not now..." he said quietly, letting Nami crawl out from his jacket, and onto his shoulder, meowing a bit quietly. The kitten was on his shoulder now, just one of Saruno's many kittens. It was a nice black kitten, nothing too special about it.

Composing herself as the the man spoke, his voice, it made her want to smile, as if she had heard it before. The young fox fell back onto his haunches beside the girl, still eyeing the tall, mysterious man. " Kaname." she stated flatly. Her eyes flicked to the black kitten that crawled along up to his shoulder. Lips curved up slightly to resemble that of a small smile, but dropped just as quick. A labored cough escaped her throat as she grasped her left eye, inhaling sharply.

Within a short moment of time, Saruno looked back over to the girl, seeing her grasp on her left eye, after seeing him with his kitten, and saying her name. A flash of thought raced through his mind as he started to remember his mother saying something about Kaname, a girl, she never was very clear on subjects, but, he all so remembered a name. "That name, it sounds familiar...and...what is wrong with your eye miss Kaname?" he spoke in a dark kind of voice, trying not to be too dark. Sliding his index finger along the ears of the kitten on his shoulder, the cat began to purr a bit.

The girl let her hand fall away from her eye, keeping it closed. "That name, it sounds familiar...and...what is wrong with your eye miss Kaname?" " It's nothing." she told him. Her companion looked over at her, a soft whine coming from him. " You are not from here, are you?" she asked, trying not to sound obnoxious. " Your voice, I have heard it before..somewhere." she whispered, mostly to herself.

Within a short moment, Saruno simply looked closer to the girl, not moving an inch of where he was, just simply sensing her chakra signature, seeing her eye just stay closed. Not many clans have an ability to have a Doujutsu eye, so, he just wondered a few things in his mind. "I am not from around here, i am...from the moon country" he said softly, trying not to say too much.

[Short..]

" Moon Country.." she said to herself. That was her first location to search for her older brother. Mentally slapping herself for thinking about things like this in such a place, she nodded. Her heart was trying to make her remember, but remember what? " What is it about you that makes me want to smile, when I have not smiled in years?" she asked cooly. This man was mysterious, as if he was hiding something.

[Short as well. ^^;]

Within a few short motion, the kitten jumped from Saruno's shoulder, landing on the table, then to the floor below him, beginning to walk over to Kaname with an easy motion. Something was a bit, wrong now. Nami didn't like many other people outside of the Kaosu clan, but, that made Saruno think a bit, with her words as she spoke them. "Do you remember a clan name, of the Kaosu, or the Kazura by any chance?" he said softly to the girl, trying to see if she could remember something in the least. He didn't know too much about her, yet, he wondered, something familiar with her. Left eye was acting strange, as if the third state was being channeled, or chakra, something...he just didn't know.

She watched as the small cat removed itself from the man, walking toward her. It stopped in front of her suddenly, as if awaiting permission to greet her. She gave a light nod, as the kitten leaped up to her. Her arms formed a cradle to support the small creature as it landed. "Do you remember a clan name, of the Kaosu, or the Kazura by any chance?" Looking up to the man, she hissed as her eye started to pulse with small sensations of pain. " S-Stop." she demanded. Whatever he was doing, was affecting her eye.

Saruno just watched as the cat jumped into her arms, being cradled in her arms. Within a short motion, Saruno swayed his palm to his dango sticks, then to his chest, releasing the transformation he had on him. It showed his true shinobi form, a large blade on his back, a black cloak, and his true face. "Do you remember me?" he asked the girl now, seeing if she would remember at all, maybe, she knew what he looked like.

The girl froze, her face perfectly smooth of any human emotion. As her body began tremble, the small kitten looked up in alarm to Saruno. Kana knew who he was. Precious tears stung like fire at her eyes, but sadly, like always, they wouldnt come. Falling to her knees, the unsocial young girl stared up to the tall man. " Y-You..Its you! " she whispered, the rims around her eyes slowly turning red with the invisible tears. " You are..my brother." She didnt fully understand how she came to this conclusion, but she knew it to be trure. He was her brother.

Hanzo had been in his office as usual, sorting through papers, reading different requests, and keeping up on the track of money to keep the village stable financially, when he felt a presence. Something or someone with huge amounts of chakra had entered his village. This alarmed Hanzo, as he knew it meant someone of great capability that hadnt been here in at least a long time, had come. This could be a great threat to the entire village, because his intentions were unknown. For this reason, he sat down on his chair with his back straight, and his eyes closed. He tapped into the surrounding shadows of the village, searching through them until he finally found the shadow of the man who had entered. Once this was accomplished, he read him like a book. He was relieved to discover that he had no intentions of doing anything hostile, but he was still a threat. With this in mind, he decided he would keep a tab on him, constantly surveillancing his movements, who he encountered, and how. Mitsunari beside him, realized what he was doing, and got to work taking over what he was previously doing.

Eventually, the man, Saruno his name was apparently, entered a Dango shop along the streets. He was in a public place, perhaps that meant he wasnt going to do anything. Of course, nothing could be for certain. After awhile, he made contact with another person, Kaname. 'This could be bad' he thought to himself. Once the two started conversing, he could feel the level of stress between the two increase. So then, he knew what he was going to do. He started paying more attention to the amount of stress coming from Kaname, and would wait to see if it reached a certain point where she would supposedly be assaulted. He sat and waited for quite awhile, watching over the two of them. He sat idly by as the stress level between the two increased and decreased accordingly, but nothing major appeared to happen. In the back of his mind, he could hear Mitsunari at work in his office, and he knew that nothing was wrong there. Just watching, and waiting...when finally, he felt Kaname's stress level reach a large peak, and his eyes snapped open. "Mitsunari" He said with a voice full of authority and command. "I'm heading out to deal with something. Watch the office while I'm gone." He said. Extending his arm in front of him, a large shadow portal appeared in front of him. As soon as it had appeared, Hanzo was gone.

Just like in the office, a portal behind Saruno appeared with Hanzo stepping out quickly enough so it seemed as though he teleported there, rather than stepped out of a portal. The portal quickly disappeared behind him as he stood. "Saruno Kazura" He said with a deep commanding voice that seemed to darken the room around them. "You have infiltrated the village of Sunagakure without permission. State your business here or face the consequences" His face was blank except for the aura in his presence that seemed to instate fear in all around him. Everyone else in the Dango shop looked at them with large eyes filled with fear from the sudden noise. When the saw it was Hanzo though, they calmed just a little. They all knew how he could be, but they also knew to be cautious anyway...

A small presence of darkness came over the room like a black shadow of the blade of chaos, when released from their prison. Saruno knew this all too well. Sliding his gaze to the man behind him, both of his eyes showing now, each of a different color. Crimson and Gray. A small bit of a sigh came from his pale lips as he looked to the darkness of the man before him, the chakra levels he sensed were almost unimaginable, yet, no where near his own. He didn't know very much about the man, yet, he knew he was here on some sort of business, to confront him and see what he wanted out of Saruno. "My business here, was originally to enjoy some of your village's dango's, but it seems, i have met my sister here...my long-lost sister....after the attack on my clan..."

A small bit of a motion of his body let him sit on the table now, the dangos away from him. "So why are you here, Kazekage-sama?" he said with a small, yet dark sort of emotion. He didn't expect to meet the famous Kazekage of the Sunagakure no Sato area just yet, he didn't harm anything, he didn't cause any trouble to the village, yet he wondered what happened to make the great ninja appear before him. "I'm curious to know..." he felt Kaname's presence behind him still, he knew now, that she was his sister.

Kaname set on her knees behind the two, her face lit up with pure emotion, though they were all very mixed amongst eachother. The kitten still clutched safely in her arms, Zaieki at her side. She knew this was bad, getting herself so worked up like this, severe consequences would later come. Hanzo's presence darkened the room, not like their meeting before. Her body was in shock at the situation. It wasnt safe for her to be open like this, especially in public. By the way the two spoke, her brother was not welcome. Saruno was a criminal. Saruno Kazura..Kaname Kazura?

None of this made sense to the girl.

Looking to the door, she couldnt bring herself to stand. She swayed slightly as if to fall unconcious but the kitten in her arms preceded to bite her. Her eyes snapped wide at the sudden pain in her arm, she did not dare look down as the sickly scent filled her senses. Blood. A small amount, yes..but enough to send her into a fit of hysteria. Calmly, the girl began to breathe in through her mouth, in precise, timed breaths. Zaieki produced a loud wail that traveled through the shop at Kana's behaviour as the kitten spat at the fox, her small back arching perfectly. " Nami-chan.." the girl whispered suddenly, her words soft, taking on a slight dark tone as if Saruno was talking. " Such a lovely name." she whispered to the small cat.

Her fingers traveled along the kitten's ears idly as she kept her focuse upon the scene in front of her and away from the blood.
