[http://ros-rp.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:5126 Konohagakure Festival! (4/16/2016 Casual.)]Clownfishie Nier: From Mochi to Higashi, the streets of Konohagakure on a fine mid-day under the blessed sunshine, villagers to fellow ninja sung, danced and cheered—From the rooftops to the ground, crowds of people near stands to even leaving and entering fellow shops. It appeared that everyone within the village was having a blast, from the outer village to even it’s heart, there was many and with such many, there was massive number—To one street, there was many games for children and even adults to play, such as even family games, to another street, there was a place for only adults that wanted to be with others, not a place for children and to the streets, various dancers and singers. The closer to the center, was more amazing things happening, to where the younger children’s face were painted wtih woe, fellow ninja showed their techinques in beauty and a non-harmful manner—To where even rides could be found, such as ferris wheels and all that jazz. The air of Konohagakure held itself with the smell of food and the aura of happiness from everyone, surely a day to where someone could find themselves out of the depressive heart and mindset, but some have been shocked before—As fellow villagers walked around in masks with dishes held to all types of food such as Hanabiramochi and such on, there was even villagers and ninja dressed as warriors of some type. A day that would last for more than just a day, this type of the month, or rather, the year was held as an event that always was used to heighten the spirits of not just the ninja but the villagers—A day that even Kinshi loved the stories about, even though, she had never experienced such an event. Sitting next to a man all to familiar, she held a dish of ‘Sakuramochi’ personally made by her, with a table centered and infront of her, there was a weapon that held itself wrapped in a navy-blue cloth with a pink ribbon—Much to her own dismay that she hid, she held a soft smile as one hand cupped over her mouth as she looked to the crowd beyond her. Hoping for familiar faces, to even faces she hadn’t seen for months to a year and more, she refused to worry or make herself feel bad—Dressed formally herself, Kinshi actually took the role of a princess from the Senju clan, dressed in white with a flower blossoming blessedly. Listening to the tune, the white haired female smiled a bit more, her aqua lit eyes enjoying the fact she could see children with her families, happily enjoying their time in such an event, popping bubbles to even throwing darts at balloons—At the same time, she wished her father could have a moment like that with her, atleast, wishing her mother was around, but she dismissed these thoughts, it was a day of happiness.. No doubt, things would get more interesting as the sun was going to set.

Posting order (Harlee, Vain, Rain, Keru, Ziel, Jae, Asashin, Nier.) 01:57, April 17, 2016 *Clownfishie HarleeVanity: Today was the big festival and the village was bustling with activity. Shops were being bombarded with customers for garments and needs of homes. Leaning out the window of her room, Hitomi only chuckled and smiled while she tapped her metal nails upon the window sill lightly. She had grown accustomed to how to use them and how much force to use behind them. Now she hardly took them off. Yet they looked as if Keldran had just given them to her. The girl was excited as she heard her mother call to her. "Are you going to get dressed, Hitomi?" She smiled and pushed her hair behind her ear with a nod. "Hai, Okaasan. In a moment. I'm just enjoying the air." Standing up straight, Hitomi would stretch her well toned body. Her onyx hair was now back down to about her mid back and she wore it down more often when she wasn't training. She was much more graceful and agile than she had been before even with the changes in her body. Having hit that time in her life when she had begun to blossom, her figure had become a bit more curvy and her bust line had become more pronounced. To look at herself in the mirror, there were times that she couldn't believe that she was not the awkward little girl that the people she knew had left behind. However, she was still worried a bit as she bit her bottom lip. What would they think? She had called to her mother and she came in helping her dress. With the family being one of tradition, she was dressed in a formal kimono of blues and violets. Her hair had been done up complete with hair pieces and allowed so that her hair fell down on to her shoulder. She’d look to herself a moment in the mirror before walking out of her room. To her surprise, she’d see her father standing there. He’d never came to see her for anything and she saw him look over her appearance. He’d walk forward and place one single hair piece into her hair that matched her kimono and leaned over to kiss her cheek before handing her parasol to her. “Enjoy yourself.” Was all that was said from him before he turned from her and she walked from the house. She’d open her parasol and would pick up her kimono so the hem didn’t drag the ground as she walked the streets with the warm smile on her lips that had only grown in happiness with the confidence that she had come to have. 01:58, April 17, 2016 02:05, April 17, 2016 02:34, April 17, 2016 02:34, April 17, 2016 02:57, April 17, 2016 02:57, April 17, 2016 03:53, April 17, 2016 04:13, April 17, 2016 04:38, April 17, 2016 04:41, April 17, 2016 05:00, April 17, 2016 05:38, April 17, 2016 05:39, April 17, 2016 05:39, April 17, 2016 06:09, April 17, 2016 06:11, April 17, 2016 06:34, April 17, 2016 07:33, April 17, 2016 07:34, April 17, 2016 07:34, April 17, 2016 07:34, April 17, 2016 19:55, April 17, 2016
 * Clownfishie Vain: A pair of slender fingers clung to a wooden mask. A single onyx hue studying it carefully, in her lap had sat a note that was read just moments before. ‘A lot of interactions…Then today is when I must pretend.’ With a sigh the child set aside the mask, placing it onto a wooden side table. As the child stood up, her body ached which caused a soft gasp to leave her lips. With careful footing the female approached the closet, her arms throwing the door open with ease. The single eye looked to a long kimono, red and black in color. To the left of it was her anbu uniform. The child seemed rather indecisive with what to wear. She didn’t feel right wearing the kimono, her heart wasn’t into it. A sigh left her lips, her body leaning against the frame of the doorway. A knock would cause her head to look back, her head tilting. “EH?” she called out and soon the door busted open, a tall male standing before her with a glare on his face. Yasu’s uncovered eye squinted as a lazy sigh left her lips. “Fine…” she growled softly, in response the male known as Shijo Hatake gave her a thumbs up before shutting her door. Soon the child changed into the outfit and with much effort the child managed to flatten her hair. It now rested about chin length, with careful motions she put it into a bun, securing it with chopsticks. Yasu wandered out of her room, her hands pulling up the dress as she walked down the stairs. As she stood at the door she glared at her father. “YASU!!” he shouted, running over to her. “You look so…beautiful!” he called out as he attempted to hug her. The situation was rather dramatic, which caused Yasu to dip out of the way, her head shaking. “Stop it.” Shijo chuckled softly as he pat her straight hair. “Try to have fun.” He murmured, Yasu responded with a nod, her feet slipping onto sandals. “You better go have fun too.” She murmured, her exposed eye rolling. With that all said and done Yasu exited the home and entered the busy street, her eye looking over the decorations. ‘How beautiful.’ She thought on as a soft sigh left her lips as she forced a veil of excitement over it. The female hummed as she bopped out of people’s way, her head turning as she took a gander at all the little carts that sold everything from food to knickknacks. The child had been heading for the memorial to pay her respects before ‘enjoying’ the festival.
 * Clownfishie blackxrosexrain: With the sun standing high in the sky, Rain sat with her brother under a tree in the cooling shade, a slight breeze flowing past them. Though no one was in the immediate area she could still hear the hustle and bustle of excited people in the village. "You coming to the festival today?" Rain asked, her bright blue eyes glazed over with a certain dazed gloss. "Not this time little sis." Rains brother answered before lifting his hand, in his hand he held a semi-circle of white and black roses. Bringing the rose crown down to settle on top of her head he gave Rain a lopsided grin. "There, fit enough for a queen." Letting the bubble of laughter escape from her lips Rain shrugged and made a move to stand up. Once on her feet Rain dusted the small bits of nature that clung to her skirt, not one to dress up and get fancy Rain made do with her casual shinobi outfit for the festival. "I'll see you when you get back then." She began but looking to the spot her brother was once in she noticed him gone. 'Damn it.' she cursed to herself looking around the small clearing before shrugging and waltzing off to the sound of civilization. In the heart of the festival now Rain looked at the different stores around, some selling food others trinkets and wears, Not really focusing on the objects in the stores but more on the people around her she felt the vibe of village lift her spirit and she couldn't help the goofy smile creep across her face. The sights of the different outfits worn today made her realise how much people really go out for this sort of thing and her head gave a small shake and continued her browsing knowing that at some point she would bump into her usual crowd.
 * Clownfishie Keruberosu: |GF| -Godric was actually one of the main people who endorsed this event within the village. With clan leader status comes great benefits including the ryo. It was about 12:30pm in the afternoon from his perspective. Everyone in the village knew what this day meant and surely Godric did. It was his favorite day of the year for once the stern man actually woke up with child-like excitement. His wife Mary already having his entire outfit laid out. Getting out of there extra large king sized bed the nude Godric would stretch near his open window and let the blanket of sunshine hit his full frontal. As he turned quickly a smack of something could be heard against his leg. But let’s just leave that to imagination shall we. He had showered the night before just to be more cleaned and prepared. He quickly fit himself into the custom made kimono he paid for awhile back. It took him awhile to find the head/chest opening thanks to so much fabric being around him was almost a comical scene for his wife to watch. Popping his head out almost like a prairie dog he would sigh in relief. “Damn clothes always so confusing, this is why I stick to armor.” Now he would place both of his size 22 feet into custom made wooden sandals that when he walked made the distinct loud clack. But due to his 260 pound weight the clack was made even that much louder. Taking a single kneel to follow his wife while angled in front of a mirror would place his black leopard shoulder fluffs onto him. Kind of crooking around his upper back since a main piece connected both shoulder pieces together so it wouldn’t come off but now his outfit for today was complete. He stood up straight and looked down a small vein would begin to emerge in his head since the mirror was at his waist level and he couldn’t see it all. So he forcibly grabbed the mirror from the top and bought it to body level. Moving his head around and shaking the fabric some by wiggling his body he’d set it down and smile. “Perfect, thank you darling.” Turning to kiss the top of her head he would open the main window to the Fuma manor and leap outwards. “See you later this evening.” He clad wooden sandals crashed against the floor and some dust was upchucked around his landing but he quickly dusted himself off and left the gates of the main manor. He was 7 ft tall with 2 inches to spare. Godric was easily the most noticeable thing on two legs smiling to everyone and even the kids as they walked by and stared in amazement as his stature. One of the first things he spotted was a strength game so he casually walked over and looked to the game giver the man would smile and ask for a small fee of 5 ryo. Godric gently lifted his kimono to reach by his thigh area and pulled out 5 ryo handing it to the man. The man would then give him a hammer but Godric would give off a hardy laugh. Almost a sailor’s laugh in comparison before speaking. “Trust me I won’t need it. “ Godric would lift up the kimono material around his right arm rolling it all the way to his shoulder revealing the immense definition and muscle of the man. Some kids would be watching him as they waited in line. “No one has ever got to the top.” Godric would wind his right arm 3 times before on the near 4th wind his fist would come crashing into the weighted pedestal and sent the small puck dinging into the bell but not only that it took it clean off and flying so high into the air it actually hit the clouds. Godric by the time he finished hitting he only dipped upwards to look and would whistle. “Woooooooo, That is long gone. Anyways what is my prize?” The kids behind would begin to jump all around and their eyes would glitter and having starlight pouring from there. “SUGGGGEEEEIIIIIII” The man could only allow his jaw to hit the floor in anime fashion and his body turned completely black and white as he reached for the prize. “As promised 1 ticket for a lifetime supply of Konoha famous Korean Beef and Barbeque located at the food stands.” Godric could only help but smile and scratch the back of his head while gripping the ticket before turning to walk away. “Thanks, but sorry about the machine. Might need a stronger one next time!” Godric now continued to walk down the main road towards the food options his stomach growling lowly. “Man I’m ready to chow down.” - |GF|
 * Clownfishie DivineZiel: -The day was only going on and not much was happening far from Konoha on the paths that lead out of the village. People could be seen coming to the gates from the main road, ones that held people such as carriages, people on their own feet walking to celebrate with the rest of the heart filled village, the day of their festival where everyone forgot about the darkness in the world, forgot about the pain that was caused to them because they all came together as one, a huge family of sorts. Though, off in the distance could be seen someone wearing a happuri with the Konoha symbol engraved into it. A long brown coat trailing behind him with the wind breezing by. Stopping while on the main road, he saw a beautiful flower while he only crouched down to it and let his hand graze upon it, lifting it up a bit from its slouched state. Giving off a small smile, he looked to his right while he took a deep breath and sighed in relief with the Konoha gates in sight. He only pushed himself up with the help of his new katana while he then began walking towards them again, the dice that hung from the katana clashing against each other as he took in another deep breath. Smelling the amazing aroma of different foods that were made, the cheers of fun and love coming from the village not too far from him now. He had been walking back from the mountains for a good week or two by now since he stopped to enjoy some views that he came across. Growing closer and closer to the village gates, he would finally be within ten feet of entering the village fully after a good five minutes or so of walking. Taking his steps softly, his blue hair blew back from the wind as his yellow eyes glared to the large archway as he finally stepped into the village once more as he only closed his eyes and stopped for a moment in place as he smirked a bit and said quietly "Home.." Lifting his head, he'd see people stacked on each other through the streets, the hearty laughs of them all while he began to walk into the crowd and greeted people back that greeted him, even came into contact with some people he knew before he left the village with Kinshi. He was taller but with all the people around, it was still hard to find anybody specific that he could share a good ol' conversation with.-
 * Clownfishie JaeAre: A beautiful sunset illuminated the almost night sky of Konoha as the sounds of joyous tunes and laughter filled the air. B would just be finished getting ready, something he fought doing but didn't want to be the odd one out for not attending such an event. He would be wearing some completely out of character tonight a black button up shirt with no sleeves, fitted slacks, and a pair of traditional fancy wooden sandals. It would be completely different from the rough and tumble look he arrived back in the village in just a few days ago, he looked rather casual the only noticable traits to been seen were his glowing red hair, his red and black eyes, his sharpened teeth had he decided to smile or even talk, and of course his growth spurt and gain of weight mostly muscle due to his year and a half training at the temple. The only three to actually see the boy before this said festival were two genin and Kinshi his squad leader, his changes might alarm a few people as most looked at him as an outcast before this transformation what would they think of the boy now? Not that it mattered to B he could give two shits less about their existence and well beeing let alone their opinions. "I think I'll watch from the skies..." B would say as he grabbed the bottle of Sake he had found in the cellar most likely left from his father before he was gunned down in a bad drug deal, there was no telling how old it was but tonight B was going to enjoy himself as much as the others just in his own secluded way as he walked up his stairs and to his bedroom opening up the window as he would make his way up to the roof as he scouted a good rooftop to sit, drink, and chill on as he watch the festival in full swing. "Perfect..." B would say as he took a swig from the gallon jug of potent liquid as he jumped rooftop to rooftop until he had finally reached the building of his choice. The building he had happened to choose was the Hokage's building's rooftop as he sit his feet dangling into the air as he continue to take swigs ever so often watching the party take place, had anyone looked up to the sky towards the building they would most definitely see the red haired boy watching from a distance as he continue to slowly get drunk as he sway his body back and forth to hte rhythm of the music being played down below.
 * Clownfishie Dissolutia: Laying back in bed with a book, the beautiful Seika flipped through the pages trying to get her mind off the roaring streets of people. It was festival day in Konoha but it was different, every festival she went with she walked hand and hand with her two younger sisters. However one was dancing in the heavens above and the other refused to go to it because she insisted she was weak and needed to train. Seika could not really think about festivals without having to pick up a cigarette and relax herself. It seemed as if everything reminded her of Sishi, “You would have loved this Sishi… The village is so beautifully decorated” Seika spoke aloud as she closed her book and put it aside. “Seika Hunny, I have something for you” Akiko Sarutobi gently entered through the door with a dress hanging in her arm. “Do not expect me to go…” Seika was blunt and unwelcoming, as she walked herself to her private bathroom. “My dear daughter… I know what you are feeling. But your father does not come out anymore, after Sishi… Someone has to represent our clan, that will be your job one day” Her mothers voice was sympathic, following her to the washroom “Maybe you could go hang out with Kinshi.” A deep sadness would be felt in her heart as the simple thought of becoming the clan leader one day. She could not bare it, Seika carried such a burden that she did not believe she was fit to protect anyone. However seeing Kinshi would help her mind dwell on other things, who knows. Maybe she would have some fun. “I guess I’ll go then. Is that your dress?” Seika asked as she let down her long jet black hair. “It was… Now its yours, Its the dress I wore to my first festival with Ren” Akiko could not help but blush and look to the ground. Making no comment she walked up to the dress laid out nicely on her silk sheets. “Its beautiful…” the Sarutobi girl touched the Dupioni silk texture. It was a formal pale blue kimono; Leaving the shoulders bare and a long slit on the skirt of the dress, all tied together with a black bow. With her mothers help she put on the extravagant dress along with black sandal heals. Looking in the mirror she could not even recognize herself… She was so different so feminine, a look she did not always endure. “You will make a gorgeous and strong leader my love…” Akiko’s eyes got watery, but Seika looked away. She did not like seeing tears in her family, even happy ones. It was something that triggered her pain. “I’ll be going now… Thanks mom” Seika walked out of her room and down her mansion hallway where she would see her father come out of his rooms shadow. Ignoring him she walked down the stairs and left the house, already seeing so many people out and about. Children running around with windmill fireworks, but most of all everyone was dressed so lovely. “Kinshi will not go somewhere too crowded would she?” Seika whispered as she traveled through the village catching a couple eyes. After a while she stopped seeing a familiar white haired girl dressed in white. “KINSHI!!” Seika yelled from a far as she waved and walked towards the girl. When she would arrive smiling, chucking a bit as she sat beside the Senju princess“Almost thought you were getting married. You look lovely by the way.” Seika’s golden green eyes would look fawn over her white dress, it was so pretty.
 * Clownfishie Guest_SnowmaidenBlue: Yuki woke in a very good mood. The festival was today and everything had ended up perfect. Having been a volunteer to help with the preparations of the event, Yuki felt like she had been part of creating the happy atmosphere, and that many people would smile at her efforts. Getting out of bed the girl moved through her parents room, which she had started living in as it was the bigger bedroom. Opening her closet she pulled out the black and orange kimono and slowly began to dress. The kimono had been a gift from her parents, one she had found only days before. A friend suggested that she should look around and see if her ma and pa had left a will or something like that. What she found was much more valuable then anything else they could have given her. A letter addressed to her and the specially made kimono her mother had convinced her father they needed to save up for. Now she would be wearing it. Finishing up she tightened the sash and turned to look in the mirror. Her long hair was filled with waves in a some what intricate design and a single white rabbit hair pin. Her lips were painted red and her skin had been scrubbed and lathered the night before. The kimono hugged her chest and waist then flared just a bit off her hips. She had started to grow in the last year and a half, having gotten actual boobs as well as having her waist narrow slightly and her hips widen as well. Her but had also changed, having gone from flat to somewhat visible when she wore her usual pants. Putting on the simple yet elegant black flats, the grabbed her small orange bag and headed out the door. Moving through the streets, Yuki stopped here and there to look at booths and venders items. When she finally reached her chosen destination she let a cheerful smile cross her painted lips as her golden eyes watched the carnival rides stop and start.
 * Clownfishie Nier: It was cute almost, no, it was adorable—To where the Senju looked upon the children running around with fireworks, she heard a familiar voice that she had gotten use for for a good few weeks. Causing a bit of trouble, but more so due to innocently doing it with strength, she saw Godric proudly matching away after destroying a machine—Tilting her head upward, she looked to the left. “Hm..” She mumbled, she was curious.. She felt something familiar entering her range of sensing, which was actually towards the gate entry-point from the mountains. As she expected a single person, atleast, at this moment, she expected one person and it wasn’t Keldran—As her body leaned to see who was so familiar, focusing all her ability to sense, she heard a yell of her name and jumped. ‘Kinshiii!’ Seika said. Launching upward a bit, her hands grabbed the dish of Sakuramochi that almost slipped from her lap—It caught her off guard a bit, being already timid and shy, she blushed a crimson red as Seika talked about her attire. Tilting her head to the right as her lips curled to a smile a bit more, she lifted her right hand to greet Seika as she sat next to her—“You are doing better, aye? I actually didn’t expect you to find me.” Kinshi said, her right hand being placed to cup over her mouth as she smiled and mumbled her words from behind it. If she was to be honest with herself, she was actually hiding due to how embarrassed she felt within this white dress. “Here. I made you one. I knew I would see you at some point, just not this soon. Also! You look lovely today as well!” She added, her left hand grabbing a Sakuramochi and offering it to Seika—Looking away from Seika, her eyes watched the gateway in, but the crowd made it a bit harder to spot him, no doubt she’d see Keldran to, but she didn’t sense that. “Uhh.. Hey.. Seika-san.. Have you seen—Uh..” Leaning forward a bit, she could’ve sworn she saw something familiar, blue hair, but the figure was different. Motioning her hand away, she opened her mouth to release a loud-yell towards a familiar hair color and a familiar sense. “Ded-san!” She yelled, this was going to be embarrassing if it wasn’t him.
 * Clownfishie HarleeVanity: Having stayed in the village for the whole time, she saw the people that had been there from day to day activities. She’d smile and bow in greeting to people as she moved down the street. It was a public event and being a child from the Main house, Hitomi had to be what was expected from a child of the Main house of Hyūga. She’d be graceful and warm. Bringing honor to her house since her brother was once more not anywhere to be found. Noticing the dark movement from the corner of her eye, Hitomi’d look up and see someone she thought she knew jumping from rooftop to rooftop. She was tempted to climb up and give chase, but knew it would not be wise for her to do so in the outfit and for the day that it was. Once more, she’d put the light blue parasol over her head and look about. Her pearl eyes looked about and even into shops looking for the white haired woman. She’d dance a bit with a few of the younger children and kissed the forehead of a little boy who acted shy with her when she smiled to him. He ran off and pointed to her as he told his parents that she had kissed him. She smiled with a wave to them as they waved back to her with a soft laugh. It was wonderful to see everyone like this. Her head turning back to where she was walking, she’d continue to walk down the street until she had seen the long white hair and upon more focused inspection, she see the aqua lit eyes that she had come to know to be Kinshi’s. She’d see an even more familiar face in Seika being with her. She smiled brightly and make her way through the crowd towards the two women. “Seika-sensei. Kinshi-san.” Her voice soft like always as she held her parasol over her shoulders with her hands gleaming in the light that hit them. She’d hear the excitement in Kinshi’s voice as she yelled for the person and could only hold one of her ears from the ringing that had taken place. “Remind me to stand away from you next time when you yell, Kinshi-san”
 * Clownfishie Keruberosu: |GF| -Godric while still walking was soaking in all the sun at this point his life time of Korean barbeque and beef so he was obviously headed to the food stands. Hearing a few yells behind him the giant man with royal blue eyes and chakra flaring off them looked in the direction all the voices were coming from. He would see Kinshi along with a few of her pals gathering around along with the sword they both worked on together. That is all Godric was do a small glance before turning back forward and following the smell of the food. His body still sticking out of the crowd. [5 minutes pass] He would turn a corner onto another main road which was filled with all the food stands his stomach only growled louder and his eyes only got that much bigger to boot. Going to the nearest stands he explored all the food options but the thing that caught his eyes was the giant 72 ounce seasoned steak it was a challenge. He walked to the stand and slammed down his golden free food card. The female behind the stand would lift the steak onto a large plate and now within the next few seconds he would devour it just by setting the plate down and taking the steak into his hands. Only taking a powerful 5 chomps down onto the delicious meat it was already gone. Godric’s giant hand would come to rub over his belly as he walked away from the stand and saw a large sign hanging overhead with the title. “Pie and Ramen eating contest! Entry is free!” Godric could only smile as he looked at entry long being fairly long but he now stood in line 10 people behind from reaching the stand. He knew victory would be easy. Pie and Ramen what was this a heaven for him? But in the distance he could hear a voice, something almost familiar but he ignored it for now. - |GF| [1]
 * Clownfishie blackxrosexrain: As the day turned into Twilight Rain felt her stomach begin to grumble with the munchies, the constant smell of food surrounding her made her mouth water and she began the hunt for a suitable restaurant or food store. Pulling at a thin strand of white blond hair from her fringe, Rain glanced around the area she had wondered into. All day Bbq and ramen were two foods that stood out to her, but something sweet is what she felt like right now. Straightening her black jacket on her shoulders, Rain made her way to small candy stand and looked at the assortment of candy on sale. Looking over the sweet treats Rain licked her lips, her eyes seeming to glow in the dying light and she quickly made her choice. Looking to the shopkeeper she smiled seemingly nice but not really meaning anything by it, "Hello," her smooth voice rippled out and she pointed to her selection. "Two Daifuku and one Dango stick please." Taking a step back Rain watched the shopkeeper place the Daifuku in a small paper bag, her thoughts wandering for a bit, she dug her hands into her jacket pockets and watched while the rest of her items were packed. Handing over the amounted money Rain turned away with a small smile and began to weave effortlessly through the crowded street. On her way she took out her Dango and began to pop the sticky sweet balls off the stick and into her mouth. The twilight seemed in full swing now the beauty that the lights hold seem mesmerizing, and giggles of the children now, a tune of excitement at its highest peak. This was the time that Rain really felt alive when everything seemed so full of life but in the shadows, she could hear her usual crew talking and she quickly made a bee-line for the tree in her right peripheral vision. Coming to the slightly larger than normal tree she noticed the hanging lanterns dimmer than would be considered normal. "Ah, Rain finally, been taking in the festival life have you?" a gruff voice came from in the tree, three pairs of shinobi sandals could be seen slightly illuminated by the fading sun atop a lower branch, one set had a pair of knees slightly in view indicating that this person was crouching. "Damn straight." Rain chuckled throwing a lopsided grin to the three figures, her Dango stick between her slightly tense teeth.
 * Clownfishie DivineZiel: -As he weaved through the people, only bumping into a few people here and there, he saw someone making their way to the top of the Hokage building while he tried to get a good look however, he felt someone shoulder check him while passing and as they did so, Ded turned and only saw a tall male with blue hair, much like Ded's and even Keldran's as he tilted his head to the side. Off in the distance was the man while Ded's eyes were normal until he heard a familiar voice call out to him while he remembered back to the mountains when he accidently burnt some of the forest down. His eyes widened quickly as his mouth made an small o shape. In shock of the yell, he felt a shiver run up his spine as he hoped he didn't do anything wrong. Pushing himself up on his tippy toes, he saw the white haired gal as he only sunk back down to the ground and his face went back to normal and he made his way towards her but went a bit to the side as he came up on her side. Leaning down and between two people, Ded smiled slightly as his eyes curved up after closing, his head as well tilting to the side as he said "Well, hello there, Princess Yurara." Chuckling lightly, he would only open his eyes as he looked at her choice of clothing while he only smiled some more and said "Very beautiful dress though." After he said so, the two people he was between moved while he stood up fully and looked down to her as well as the other female that was with her as he lifted his left hand to his chin and rubbed it a bit, his eyes squinting while he thought of whom she was until he asked "I don't think we've met, who might you be?" His eyes opened back to normal with his left hand returning to its side.- (http://i.imgur.com/tojHS.gif | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XGNldmVnPk )
 * Clownfishie JaeAre: B would be vibing to the sounds of music and happiness, the first state of calmness he had reached since his trnsformation... was it the alcohol? It probably had a lot to do with it but all in all he was just legitmately having a good time right now as he opened his eyes as and see a hazey scene as if a film had glazed his eyes over seeing lights and all round fun, a beautiful sight of his village coming together. "-Hiccup- I think I need another!" he would say aloud as he tilted the jug of sake up to his mouth taking another big gulp as he wiped his mouth after and continue to watch from the best view in the town.

 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Vain: The snow haired child continued moving forwards, passing by a few familiar faces, though she would keep moving, hoping to seem rather nonexistent. Yasu had made a promise to herself, and any interaction could potentially compromise it if she wasn’t careful. ‘To be the prefect ninja you must lose your humanity. Give up everything, just to protect and serve.’ At least that’s how she saw it. The young child thought of the world. Her sensei Takuza provided her with the perfect ideals, but at the end of everything he messed up by building such strong ties to people. The child’s dress dragged behind her as she made her way to the memorial. If one was to approach her, she’d provide a smile and a peace sign before speaking. “Good afternoon!” Her voice was mature and firm. Yasu would seem a bit excited to interact, but that couldn’t be more wrong. The young Hatake dreaded interaction now, but she had to play the game to get ahead. The child even thought of death, and the thought to her wasn’t even scary. She accepted the fate, whenever the time came. If no one stopped her she’d reach the memorial, buying flowers and a vase before getting there. Once infront of the memorial her eyes scanned to the picture of Takuza. Yasu would set the flowers down before closing her exposed eye. “I’ve done it…” she paused for a moment as let a soft exhale leave her lips. “Something you could not…” the single onyx hue shifted to the sky, the expression she wore was blank, unmoving…uncaring. “You’ve done so much for me, and for that I am greatful…but now, I must go down my own path…and I know it isn’t what you wanted for me.” Her eyes redirected to the picture. “But sometimes, this is what you must do. Living by the Shinobi Rules no matter what.”
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Dissolutia: Seeing that she had startled the young Kinshi, Seika could not help but chuckle. “Well. You know I have my moments. I used to take her and Sachi to festivals so it brings things up. Sachi refuses to leave the house and do anything but training… My father is also depressed, barely comes out of his room. I do not even look at him anymore, I feel like I failed him. Either way I thought you would help take my mind off of things. My mother also wanted someone representing the clan name at the festival” Seika continued as smiled at Kinshi’s food offering. Thanking her Seika ate the Sakura Mochi happily, It was so good she savoured every last piece. surprisingly Hitomi has arrived looking like a beautiful young lady, “Your Kimono is so beautiful Hitomi. Its nice to see you. Are you enjoying yourself?” Seika asked the hyuga. Turning to Kinshi as she was sort of asking a question which then leaded to her calling out a name. Seeing a blue haired man approach them, she acted normal. "I don't think we've met, who might you be?” he said, seeming like he was trying to figure out who she was. “You are correct on that front. I am Seika Sarutobi, Jonin of the Leaf. You are Ded lee, from what I gather” Seika smiled gently as she turned to Kinshi “So this is the Boy… The boy you were training with?” The Sarutobi female would grin in a cheeky way as she called over a women selling Sake. Paying the lady off she poured three glasses, One for Kinshi, Ded lee and herself. “Enjoy. Hitomi would you like something dear?” Seika asked kindly as she took a sip of her Sake.

 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">“Ah.. I’m sorry.. Hitomi-san.” She said, rubbing the back of her head a bit as she looked downward, she didn’t quite mean to deafen her—Then again, she wasn’t the loud type, but she was a bit excited a maybe a bit hyper. You look adorable.” She said softly and sweetly. Shaking her head a bit as she looked upward to Hitomi, she also looked beautiful, but she was considered a princess as well—For a moment, she looked over to Seika, she had a soft flashback of Seika in tears, crying over the loss of her sister; Seika was strong enough to force herself out. Keeping herself in her chair, she withheld the impulse to tackle Ded Lee on the spot, but held a slight blush from the incoming embarrassment she was about to come to—Praying for Ded Lee to not do something stupid, along with Seika not to make Kinshi flee, along with Hitomi being blissful, this was going to go bad. Forming in her mind, she held so much doubt—From her clothes to those around her, she felt herself getting nervous; her heart was beating. Overhappy? She had to be that too, all her friends were here, well most of them and when she thought about it, she had such a rough few months. Cupping her hand as tightly as she could against her mouth, she was flaring up in blush from Ded Lee’s comment to Seika’s cheeky question that she already knew—Her head simply tilted downward so her bangs covered her face. “I think I’ll need more than one glass, Seika-san.” She said with mumble, trying to atleast say a few words awhile her heart was trying to break out of her ribcage—One hand left to hold onto the dish within her lap.
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">blackxrosexrain: Blinking once the three shadowed figures then appared in full view, infront of her. Spitting the now empty stick to the ground she then shoved her hands, and paper bagged goods, into her jacket pockets. "So, wanna ride on the Ferris wheel," Rain chewed her lip with a small smile, waiting for the boys, and one girl, to make up their minds. On the walk to the Ferris wheel, Rain quietly looked over her friends. Walking next to her was the other girl, stealing glances out of the corner of her eye she took in the girls features. A slightly slouched posture and, skinny, bandage, wrapped, arms resting atop a curly mess of russet brown hair, in a laid back, casual way. Only slightly acknowledging her friends' outfit, Rain realized that the girl had dressed up more than usual. Noting the slightly less wild hair and shining yellow-topaz, hair-clip, in the shape of a sunflower, placed on her head. Rain disliked the brightness of her outfit, but felt too lazy to comment on it. The girl then turned and looked at Rain holding up the ends of her short kimono and taking a bouncing step "What do you think, my mom bought it for me yesterday." The shimmering red painted leaves glittering the bottom ends of the skirt caught the sun slightly, flashing in Rains eye. Closing one eye and shrugging Rain didn't answer directly but rather just kept walking. Looking to her two male friends ahead, one had black hair in a high ponytail and the other, only slightly taller than the first, had a bright green spiked mohawk running down the center of his head, and on either side of it, standing out, were two thick strips of white blond neatly shaven almost to the scalp. they wore plain black and baggie clothes like usual the same nonchalant attitude about them. Coming to the Ferris wheel they all stood in line chatting about their day and where they could find a dealer. Rain only barely, patiently waiting for her turn to get on the circular machine, wanting to capture the last few seconds of the evening sun.
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Keruberosu: |GF| -The voice he thought was familiar got closer and closer and eventually his interest was piqued Godric would turn around and then notices a child with a wooden sword running towards something or someone screaming. “DAD, DAD! DAD!” Even once he went past his backwards glance Godric’s eyes followed the kid as his dad was the 1st in line to sign up for the contest the two hugged and shared warm smiles. It just gave him a small flashback of himself and Keldran years ago, now to think he was a full fledged shinobi just like Godric himself was once before him. It was crazy how day to day life really makes you miss just when things were so much less complicated. It made him smile watching the two villagers sharing a bonding moment only for the line to be moved forward slowly afterwards. 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and then finally the 10th got to the stand and Godric stood high over it and bend down fairly far to grab the board. Writing is name on the board in cursive he then would walk away and continue to see what other activities they had to offer until the contest was to begin. He would bend his knees and then using the raw power of his legs he leaped upwards very high into the air eventually landing on a roof of one of the many villages his thick chakra coating his feet for a soft landing as he scoped out what else. “Hmm, what to do.”- |GF|
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">DivineZiel: -As he saw the blush on Kinshi's face, he only smiled lightly as he looked to the other gal that was with her and nodded in response as he said "Hello there, Seika. It's a pleasure to meet you." After he said so, he'd hear Seika ordering some sake as Ded looked to the little one that seemed to be a Hyuga, as he could tell from the eyes as he only said to her "Hello there." If anybody had a brain, it could be seen that Keldran and Ded did have a good amount of facial features shared between them. Hearing how the girl was going to see them soon and to enjoy, he'd give a small wave to her as he looked back to Seika and grabbed the cup of sake as he took it down in one go and then sat down next to Kinshi and placed his sword between his legs while he looked over to Hitomi with her running off, he'd only say "Take care!" until he turned his attention to Kinshi and merely asked "So, how has the village been since I've left?" He was a bit curious while he put the cup down..-
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">JaeAre: Still sitting atop the Hokage's office B could feel the alcohol start to take its effect on his body as he felt very loose and slightly clumsy. His body would wave back and forth as he had his arms raised in the air bouncing around like a leaf falling from a tree as the wind slowly pushed it along. "MY JAM WOOO" he would yell as his arms stay in the air and as he kept vibing to the music coming from the festival below. "I's wondering when I -hiccup- gonsh gets some companies -hiccup-" he would slur out loud to himself as he pulled out a glass from his backpack filled with goodies to keep him in this state all night. He would begin to pour more sake into the glass before it perfectly filled up to the rim "Oh yous such a pretty ting..." he would say as looked up from his perfect glass of happiness towards the party squinting his eyes wearing a crooked grin.

 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">HarleeVanity: Hitomi smiled and nodded. “I am and thank you, Sensei.” Her smile only brightened with the complement. She had continued to smile and shook her head seeing the sake being poured. “No thank you. I kinda have to be on my best behavior for the moment.” She sighed a bit while looking about to everyone that was about. “I was hoping to see Keldran and find out how his trip had gone but I’m not seeing him. I saw someone that may be his father, but not him.” Hearing the compliments from Kinshi, she smiled more and tilted her head a bit. “Thank you, Kinshi-sama.” She turned back seeing the boy she had come to know as Ded Lee from the introduction that she heard between her sensei and the boy, she smiled and bowed her head slightly. “Hello” She said softly with a warm smile. She had noticed the same hair color that Keldran had on Ded and pressed her lips together for a moment before just smiling once more and placing the information away. Noticing the look on Kinshi’s face, she smiled and looked down to the ground. She knew that look well enough and thought that perhaps it would be a good idea for her to go. “I’ll see you all soon. Enjoy!” She said with a smile and a wave. She’d look up to the top of the Hokage’s building and activated her Byakugan for a moment. Seeing the form of B up there, she smiled brightly and deactivated her byakugan before looking to Kinshi. “Do you think I would be able to go through your father’s office to get to the roof? I’d rather not climb up the side of the building in this outfit.” She said with a soft giggle to her voice.
 * KasumiHozuki <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;-webkit-text-stroke:rgb(0,0,0);">Holding the sake cup in her hand Seika started to think maybe she would need a lot more then just one cup for each. Looking over to Kinshi she seemed to be blushing, chuckling a bit she had an idea that it was because of this boy. Looking back down at her cup, she thought young crushes were cute. She did not experience it herself before, mostly because she was so focused on her training. However Seika was now 21 and it was starting to dawn on herself that she had not even thought about continuing her family line. Either way Seika thought she had bit more time before she thought about things like that seriously. Right now all she cared about was enjoying herself, already she was forgetting about what had happened to her sister having friends really did help her. Watching Ded take the sake in one shot she laughed and agreed with Kinshi’s comment; as well waving goodbye to Hitomi as she went off to do her own things.

THREE BOTTLES!!!!” Seika yelled towards the vendor lady who seemed to be happy. It was already looking like Seika was her favourite customer. Paying her off she gave the hard working women a trip and turned to her friends.

 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Yuki had rode a couple of the rides by herself, then rode with some of the younger children when their guardians didn't want to ride with the kids. Continuing through the crowd, she stopped here and there to play a game or buy a snack. After some time she made it back to the center of the village, where she head someone yell. Looking to see who it was, as the voice was familiar, but somewhat distorted by the chattering of the vast amount of people roaming the same area, she saw Seika sensei, Hitomi and a female that looked familiar but Yuki couldn't place her finger on who exactly it was. Walking over to them she smiled and greeted the three females "Afternoon Seika sensei, Hitomi-chan, ma'am." Yuki spoke softly, but loud enough to be heard by the three women. As she drew closer so did another person. One of the genin who had been on the mission a year and a half ago. She would only recognize him because of his name, as he had changed like so many of the others. Stopping a few feet away from the four she raised an eyebrow at the sake then Yuki giggled while she leaned against anything that was solid and near by, and watched Hitomi glance at the roof of the hokage's office, then ask to use the stairs to the roof. Wondering what she had seen, Yuki stayed where she was, happy to be among people she considered friends, even if they were drinking. As long as they enjoyed herself that was all the girl wanted to enjoy the event herself.
 * LodestarComics <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">ReiteiLyon: -The villagers brought a lot of energy to the festival of Konoha, bringing smiles across everyones face. Lyon would be walking through the village by himself while his Mother and Sister participated in the festival games. He wasn't having as much fun as they were due to it being the first festival without his older Brother and Father. He would just smile as he looked at everyone having fun. He places his hands in his pocket and continued to walk around the village looking for something to catch his eye. He then noticed a shop selling dango and he decided to go grab a bite. He had to wait in a line, but he didn't mind it too much. He enjoyed eating Dango with his father and hadn't eaten any since the day of his father's death. He figured that now was the time to move on and stop beating himself up about the past. Once he got to the front of the line he would get a stick of Dango, pay and walk away. He nibbled on it slowly while walking to see the other festival activities. His smile went away while watching younger kids smiling with both parents. Someone would then pounce on his back and knock him over. "Ouch" he said. "What the hell is your problem!" It would be his little sister who would be smiling at him while he was on the ground. "Lyon, I'm sorry." She would say, slowly starting to cry. "Don't cry, I didn't mean it." he would say while patting her head. "Lyon, you aren't smiling?" she would say while tears were in her eyes. "Are you still sad about daddy's death." He sighed and replied "Mizore It's our first festival without him, It just feels so different." A single tear would shed out of his eyes and he would wipe it while smiling. "I would hate for mom to see me like this, Don't tell her I was crying." She smiled and shook her head while grabbing his hand. "Let's have fun, Dad wouldn't want us to be sitting around being sad." She pulled him along while smiling. "Dad will always be alive in here." She said while poking his heart. He smiled while she pulled on his arm "Thank you Mizore, I really need that." He said to himself.-
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Nier: Moving the dish to the table, it held about ten more Sakuramochi—Tugging a chain off her neck, the string holding the key to her window broke; offering the Key to Hitomi, she waved goodbye as she spoke. “This is to my room, take the window. You should know my room when you see it. Careful of the flowers and trees, also don’t slip in the reverse rain~!” Her mumbling words held soft but understandable as she spoke out through her hand that covered her mouth—Her blush holding itself ever so brightly. As soon as Hitomi was out of her sight, Kinshi’s hands motioned to grab a cup of sake, cupping around the mold of the the cup awhile one hand was placed under the bottom of the wooden mold—Despite the light burn to severe burn in her throat, she drunk the whole cup of sake without a second thought or a breathe between. Placing the cup back on the table to be refilled by Seika, Kinshi placed her left hand back over her mouth awhile she spoke out—Kinshi found herself concerned a bit more, but this wasn’t the time for business, so she thought of nulling down on the truth. “The festival is helping everyone cope.” She said softly to Ded, as she smiled behind her hand with the tilt of her head and the slight narrow of her eyes; expressing the most pure-happy expression she could. Within the same instance, her eyes widened upon Seika’s comment aimed to ruffle Kinshi’s feathers. Reaching with a haste, her right hand grabbed a Sakuramochi treat and as her body turned, Kinshi aimed to stuff this treat in Seika’s mouth—her reaction was held ‘fluent’ awhile her movement speed was held out of pure reaction of embarrassment as she spoke. “Seika-san! Shush!” She said loudly. She regretted telling Seika anything. Held to her timid and shy nature, her eyes started to tear up due to her embarrassment, along with overbearing happiness—As Kinshi’s voice was rose, it’s echo’ing in the distance signal a change in the air as the voice danced to the mountains as a soft whisper. Over the mountains, the sky was painted in peach as the creamy vanilla cloud simply blocked the sun that was setting—To the other side of the village, the sky was held a bit darker as, a cover held with a breeze that offered more cold as the sheet that held warmth fled with the setting sun. As the sky got darker, fireworks were launched from the rooftops, to those whom held themselves as ninja used fire jutsu to the sky awhile their ability to mold their own element formed the symbol of the leaf—The leaf symbol painted to the darkening sky by many ninja. To the hokage office, over it, there was a huge firework getting ready to go off as soon the final fire jutsu was to fade—Lined up in the streets with their heads held high as people talked among themselves, a sea of people were waiting, but the moon had yet to show itself, so there was still time to wait. To Seika, Kinshi, Ded Lee and Yuki, they had been drinking for a good hour or two, conversing, chatting and all around, having a great time; besides Yuki, she had green tea because she was too young to get wasted—To Hitomi, she had no undoubtedly found herself somewhere to the rooftop unless she made a wrong turn. To Yasu, she heard about a book sell and held herself more happy than she could’ve been, she spent a few hours within the store looking at all the books. To Godric, he heard about another eating contest that would offer quite a bit of mone. To Lyon, he was having a wonderful time until a girl fell from the rooftop, landing on him, she was about ten years old and weight about eighty pounds and a bit more—She about about five feet tall. To Lil’B, you are now drunk, have a blast. “I can’t remember.. When the last time.. I really had a time like this..” She mumbled to her group of friends. Circled around the dish of food she made, there was dozens of dozens shot glasses—She was beyond happy. As many drinks she as she had, she held herself less embarrassed—Her head was placed against Ded Lee’s shoulder awhile her body rest against his side, her hand was still over her mouth as a habit to this point. “Mm. We have about half an hour before the main fireworks, huh..” She mumbled once more.
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">HarleeVanity: Having been given the keys to Kinshi's room, she smiled while folding up her parasol and took off inside the building. Her eyes looked about as she had never been inside the Hokage's office building for any reason. Not even to drop off a message from her father. But as she walked down the hall, it was easy to figure out which room belonged to the woman. She could feel the dampness slip from under the door and opening it, a smile crossed over her face seeing the known forest that the woman could create. She'd walk in and close the door behind her then looked about with wonder to the forest and flowers that were about the room. "So pretty!!" She said almost in awe. She'd pick up the bottom of her kimono to keep it from getting wet and spun about in wonder as she tried to take it all in. However she didn't want to be thought rude and just made her way to the hall and the window that was there. Opening it, she stepped out and made her way up to the roof top. Seeing the boy she knew as "lil" B, she took a deep breath with her hands holding her parasol in front of her. He wasn't so little any more. Smiling softly she spoke just as soft as she always had. "Hello... B... " Looking to him, she wondered if he'd even want her around or if he would even notice that she was there.
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Vain: The female would bow before leaving the memorial, her body swaying as she made her way back to the main street. Much to the female’s dismay, she didn’t blend into the crowd due to her white hair. ‘…Yes.’ Her exposed eye slowly shifted to a flashing sign, ‘Book Sale!’ Yasu’s heart beat rapidly as she approached the stand, her eye looking over the selection. “Icha Icha.” She murmured and the male slamed his hands on the counter. “Aren’t you a bit to young little lady?!” he shouted, his right eye squinting as he leaned over the counter. Yasu merely stared at him with a blank expression. “I’m old enough to die for my village.” She retorted, her head tilting to the side. “…Hm..Fine! I’ll allow it!” he responded as he pulled a stack of books out. “These are the new ones!” he shouted out over the loud music as he slid the pile over. Yasu looked at them, inspecting them carefully. With a careful motion she picked one up and set it aside. “This one.” She murmured as she pulled out her money and paid up. Once the book was in her possession she wandered off and sat on a bench, her hands grasping the book tightly as her single exposed eye looked around. With a hum she began to read it.
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Keruberosu: |GF| -It had turned into dusk now it was 6:30 and Godric has eaten all of his full and then some. He was wearing a paper crown that said. “Pie and Ramen Champion of the leaf” The contest that happened about 4 hours he had easily won by eating the most and even got the best time to boot. Now he was walking with his wife Mary. His large hand over-encompassing her own it was almost like a girl hugging a tree. But for some it could be considered cute and they were heading home together. Smiling down to her and Mary would smile back to him he would lean down to her ear and whisper something and she would jump from his grasp and let a small hand smack his cheek before her cheeks puffed. Obviously she was flustered. Godric could only look at her with a shit eating grin and say. “AHH come on you know you want to. Well.. You don’t have a choice anyways.” Grabbing her princess style as they stood in the middle of the village it clustered with people he stomped his feet into the ground with Mary in his grasp and then flung himself high into the air the small amount of light gleaming over the two lovers as he kissed her cheek mid flight. Softly landing onto a nearby rooftop he now began to run home. While fading off into the distance he could be heard saying. “WOO TIME TO GET DOWN!!” Before disappearing from sight completely and heading back in for the night.- |GF|
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">JaeAre: Time seemed to be at a stand still, his body was in a state of drunken bliss as he continued to put shots of sake down like water. "-hiccup- we gestin lit oucheaar" he would whisper to his lovely jug of sake as he hugged it close to his face as if it were a puppy. B's drunken stooper wouldn't go on much longer by himself as he heard the voice of what sounded like a girl, his hearing was slightly distorted from being intoxicated, as he turned his head slowly to see what was interrupting his happy time. "Well well wells, if it ishn't hatermi -hiccup- wan sum sake?" he would say as his drunken red eyes stared into her eyes with friendly intent. B would turn his head and lift the jug up once more taking another big gulp "Ohs lookie here mores for meeeeeeeee." he would say as he continued to drink not really caring i she chose to join him or not he was having a good time either way.

 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Dissolutia: Eyeing the ten Sakuramochi Seika could not help but have her mouth water. They were delicious and it seemed like her tongue was bit on fire. Looking up she panicked as she had no time to escape the food being shoved in her mouth, feeling violated in the most funny of ways she began to slowly chew with her mouth full. Seika almost resembled a chipmunk eating away at acorns— Non the less she gulped down the tasty treat and begun laughing. It had been an hour or two already, and the group had dranken one and a half bottles of sake. On a buzz, for the first time Seika looked around and saw a couple men that caught her eye but literally had no idea what the feeling she had in her gut meant. She felt like a baby again, when they would be scared to get potty trained thinking if they went to the bathroom everything would fall out of their body. So she decided to ignore it… She also decided to stop the teasing on Kinshi who was being overwhelmed. Chuckling she nudged her friend “Thank you for being here” Seika changed the topic, expressing her gratitude. Looking over to the second bottle of Sake that was half full, she reached out to grab it having her hand almost tip it over. With quick reaction time she grabbed it before falling and poured some more sake into her empty cup. Giggling the woman took the cup and drank about half of the cup, noticing someone she knew in the distance. “SHEY!!!!!” Seika’s voice was loud and happy to see her cousin. However her voice was muffled by fireworks filling the sky. Seika watched them with an emotionless face, it was like she was having a flash back at the same time. The loud noise had triggered the memory of her sister screaming in pain. Snapping out of it Seika would feel her eye brows furrow, she was frustrated that her mind would shit on her like that. She had been having a great time… “That did not last long” Seika whispered as she poured everyone a drink again, finishing the 2nd bottle. Drinking her glass, she did not even bother being lady like. Lifting her hands to look at them with a now drunken vision, they were trembling. Sighing Seika moved her dress slip to the side revealing that her right thigh had a pouch. Opening it, the contents would be shown; Seika never left without some form of weapon, so she brought her chakra blades that she left in the pouch. Her target was a cigarette pack and lighter. Placing one in her mouth she looked over to Kinshi who seemed to be losing her shield of shyness. Smirking she thought they were a cute match. “Kinshi, I’m going for a walk…” Seika lighted the killer that was placed between her lips and took the last bottle of Sake. Walking away the beautiful kunoichi bought another bottle and asked the lady to send it over to the love bird which she did instantly. Watching the children being hypnotized by the fireworks in the sky, Seika continued on to a large empty grassy hill where she would sit to watch the show. with the full bottle of sake in one hand and a cigarette in the other. She relaxed herself in the killer fumes and drowned herself with the Sake. She was smashed, she could barely make out the fire work symbols or the features of peoples faces. But she was at peace, she did not feel her eyes water or her heart in peral. All she felt was the high of a great time.
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Guest_SnowmaidenBlue: Yuki had accepted the green tea, not really interested in the sake. Laughing and chatting with the others had the girl relaxing more then she had around others, and allowing a permanent smile to spread across her lips. Watching the two cuddle brought a certain person to mind, but she quickly shoved that thought away. No need to wish for something that wasn't going to happen. Grinning when her sensei left, wanting to follow her and make sure she was alright, but also sensing she wanted to be alone, Yuki stayed with the others. She felt like a third wheel and was debating on going to walk around for a bit, but was also enjoying the happiness coming off her team mate. Sighing she glanced up at the fireworks, watching the colors and shapes with admiration and pride for her village.
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">AnonymousSavage: -While everyone else in the village were piled up at the festival having the time of their lives and enjoying the day, O was missing from the scene of that vicinity all together. Turns out back at his house the boy was still at his residence within the bathroom, while from the outside of the door the constant slapping noise of skin on skin could be heard in an slight echoing manner. “Ohh geez… Uhh I .. forgo… GYYAAAAA!” O would say out loud before the sound of the boy breathing heavy and flushing the toilet would follow a minute after. Opening the door there the boy stood with a slight bit of sweat trickling down his forhead as he raised his right hand on up and with the back of his hand whipped it away saying “Woo lawdy... alright lemme get ready for this festival.”. Quickly the boy walked forward to head towards his room, yet with his legs feeling weak the buckled and down he went onto the floor with a thud. “Oh heck naww…” he’d say laughing while slowly rising back up upon his feet continuing on his course at hand to find a proper outfit for the occasion at hand. Looking through his wardrobe there was really nothing he exactly liked the look of, until it clicked to him. A sinister grin rose upon the lips of O’s lips having the boy take off running into his deceased father’s room and within a drawer pull out a box opening it and just nodding in excitement. It wasn’t long before O came stepping on outside of his house in this black and silver attire. AS usual his goggles were over his eyes and hair in the same manner, and his hands were still wrapped, but everything else was completely different. Instead of half revealing clothes, for once the male had on a black and silver vest with very cool looking designs around the neck which fitted his upper body perfectly to reveal his muscular shape, heading lower he had these multiple silver chains going around his waist while his pants were of some black cloth material with a tint of purple upon the sides, and his black sandals seemed to be cleaner than usual but still his average old ones he wears. The final piece of the outfit though that O loved the most was the coat he wore. It was of black leather mixed with these silver designs along the back and shoulders as if he were a war general or something which made O feel like he looked like the shit and it was time to have some fun and maybe get in a bit of trouble and took off dashing to get to the festival. Knowing he was only thirteen but not caring as he arrived O had no intentions of being with the kids and so instead he entered on down the street that was labled as the adult section knowing damn well what he was doing. “ Ooo yeaa…. I’m definitely going to find me some fun today hehehe…” he’d say within his mind trying to blend in the best he could with his 5”6 stature letting his eyes roam and check the bodies of the beautiful women around while feeling so blessed he owned these goggles for moments like these.-
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">HarleeVanity: She smiled and walked over to him while she tried to hold back the laugh that was brewing with the way he was slurring his words. With his offer of some sake, she shook her head and sat next to him though she had a feeling that he only offered to be nice especially since it looked as if him and the jug were having a love affair. Looking out to the festival that was going on below, she began to wonder what to say to him. She had been so sure of herself only a little bit ago, now she wasn’t so sure and found herself fumbling over her words even in her mind. Her metal fingertips slid against the wood of the parasol as she tried to push down her nervousness while she could feel her cheeks begin to warm. She was really bad about how to start a conversation with people her own age. Especially with guys. Every time she had, they had either wanted to spar her or stayed away from her after seeing her smile to them. “How…. have you been.. B? You look well and looks like you’ve enjoyed the festival so far.” She looked from the festival below to the man beside her with a warm smile. Her eyes looking over the changes that had come over him in the time that he had been gone and thought him to be very nice to look at. Before seeming like she was just staring at him, she looked to the sky as the fireworks began to go off. A soft smile on her face as she watched the bursting of colors. It was nice to actually watch them with someone and not watch them alone. (  )
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Keruberosu: |KF| -It was about 6:25 and Keldran had finally felt the horse and carriage begin to slow down. The sway and the galloping sound was the true indicator of this. The carriage place where he left the village from was a good 5 to 10 minutes off over an adjacent hill. Stepping slowly out of the carriage Keldran would grip the side of it and look out into the skyline. Taking a deep breath he would only smile just slightly. “Home, it’s been so long hasn’t it?” Greeted by his carriage master the man would be standing there bowing his head. Keldran had grown so much, going from that small 5’1 stature all the way to 5’9 and his face was more chiseled and serious than before. Before he held such a soft expression almost a face of a newborn but on a 13 year old body. Keldran this day was sporting a black chain jacket with ribbed buttons going all the way down. One sleeve had an entire sleeve while the other was just his naked arm. Speaking of his arms those also now showed actual definition. Keldran’s hair got much longer just a little past shoulder length and around his head was a black bandana that went all the way around. To top it all off his famed claymore he was known throughout the village for having was now even larger. Completely black this time around both width and length was severely increased and it’s almost metallic nature made it glimmer against the soft patches of sun that was still left. Keldran would come to the man and place a hand on his shoulder. A soft smile forming around his lips as his voice now spoke a lot deeper in tone. “I appreciate all you’ve done for me. I wish you and your family all the best.” Reaching into his back pouch he withdrew a large pouch of ryo with about 1000 in it in total. “Keep it, you deserve it.” Keldran would being to walk up the hill as he waved his hand high into the air for the older man to see. Said man would open the pouch and begin to tear up. A soft. “Thank you.” Was all that remained until it panned back to Keldran once more. Trekking up the hill slowly he walked until he got to the very top of the hill that would look over Konoha only to see quite the beautiful woman sitting there with a bottle of sake in her hand. Keldran would slowly begin to walk past her and he stood there watching the fireworks and just the overall view of the village he couldn’t help but smile. “The best view in town.” Standing completely to the side of her he’d look down at her before continuing to walk towards the village gates before completely leaving her view he would offer just this. “Stay safe there pretty lady.” Before descending down the hill towards the main gate. Upon reaching it he would only stand for a few moments and look at all the merriment going around him but he had business to attend to and that was going home. At this point if people were sensory or had certain Dojutsu Keldran could now be felt within range. Being the only person dressed in all black and uncustomary carrying a weapon Keldran would stick out like a sore thumb. Keldran walked past the carnival games and rides, went past the book store and noticed a fellow white haired shinobi though he didn’t bother say anything just offering a glance in the direction before turning back forward. Now heading down the main road where most of the people were clustered he was heading towards the Fuma manor. His Real Home. - |KF|
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Vain: A light smile rested on the young Hatake’s face as she continued to read the book, and as Keldran walked passed her, her eye widened slightly as she offered him a wave. With a gentle exhale she stood up and closed the book, hiding it in her kimono. Yasu would make her way to a sweets stand and buy a bag of cotton candy before making her way to a rooftop alone, her eyes watching the moon as a light exhale left her lips. The onyx hue shifted a bit, making sure no one was around before opening the bag of cotton candy. Her other hand pulled her mask down for a brief moment as she began eating it. Yasu savored the sweet taste as she pulled her mask back up. With a loud yawn she leaned back, her elbows resting behind her as she laid on a rooftop. She’d listen the the sounds around her as she closed her eyes. Yasu was relaxed, enough to the point she slowly began to fall asleep. A figure appeared beside her, hunched over. “Oi…I said to have fun not pass out.” Murmured a deep voice which caused Yasu to turn her head, staring at the male. “Dad…” she grumbled as she sat up. “Your Kimono is all dirty Yasu.” He whispered, offering a snicker as he patted the top of her head. “Come on, why don’t we go and do something. I haven’t seen you in so long.” he said as he stood up. Yasu nodded a bit, following him as they stood on the villages rooftops. “Things have changed.” She whispered as she folded her arms her eye shifting to him. “Indeed they have, but through everything…you have achieved so much.” The male looked away from her, his eyes hidden by his hair. “I’m so proud of you…and I’m sorry I was never there for you when you needed me most.” The male sniffled slightly. The young Hatake offered a look of concern as she watched her father. “Dad..” she murmured. “You..You did nothing wrong. I understand now that life sometimes pulls you in various directions and you really have no choice in the matter. You did what you thought was right, for that I cannot be mad at you…I was never mad at you.” The short female leaned against him, smiling beneath her mask. Shijo wrapped a arm around her, pulling her close. “I was so worried that things were going to end badly, but…You’ve grown up into a fine woman Yasu, I’m so proud of you…and this promotion, you earned it. Let no one take that from you.” He added, pulling her into a tight embrace as fireworks began to go off in the sky. The small child felt a pulse of emotion shake through her, and in that moment she would shed those few tears because of the situation. “I’m so glad you are home..”

As he shook it and heard the minor splashing at the bottom of the jug he heard Hitomi begin to talk, asking him how he had been explaining how he'd look like he had enjoyed the festival so far. B would turn continuing to shake his jug as he looked her eye to eye and begin to slur "Aww fuck Hatomu mah jug ish empty -hiccup-". "Times fah plan B..." he would say as his winked his left eye at her as he just dropped the hottest pun of the year into her ears. B would pull out a cigar, a lighter, and a single can of beer from his pack, lighting hte cigar first as he took a puff or two blowing it in the opposite direction of Hitomi as he cracked the beer blowing the foam off the top of the can as it began to foam up and took a sip "I's been good shanks." he would say many moments later responding to her original question as it had just registered in his intoxicated mind. "How's bout yaself?" he would ask in return for a response. (http://45.media.tumblr.com/e01579ae0d11899ebf5d8e8b75cce133/tumblr_mtbx9eRYmx1qb5ltgo1_400.gif )
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Dissolutia: Out of touch with the world, Seika really was not in her own mind. She went from the calm, centred, asexual woman. To the very open, crazy and sexual personality. It seemed the sake changed her completely, she was all alone too. The only thing she saw was a beautiful view of the village and its people. However there was someone missing, Sishi. She would have been sitting right beside her with her twin Sachi. But she was gone and Sachi was gone mentally, Seika could almost feel a tear in her eye but she held it in as she jumped up a bit from someone arriving. Turning her body to see who it was, his face was blurry but his hair colour was familiar. ‘Ded?’ she thought but focused her vision and realized it was another person. “It was my sisters favourite…” she replied aloud, partly to herself and partly to the man. “Stay safe there pretty lady.” Looking up at him she could not help but feel her cheeks flush. Seika did not know what it was other then think it was the Sake doing its Job. “Wait!…” Seika drunkenly reached her right arm forward grabbing onto his shirt. Dizzy the woman basically could not hold herself up, but she knew that staying here alone would make her feel worse. “Uhh… I really do not know how to do this” rubbing the back of her neck with her left hand she chuckled “Whats your name?… Uh wait maybe thats a weird thing to ask. Are you alone for the night? AHHH NO that came out wrong.” Sighing the woman cupped her face, “I probably sound like a complete idiot” Seika knew she was bad at trying to get men to talk to her… But she did not know she was this bad. Then again she was highly intoxicated and frustrated… But she still hoped he might say to keep her company. “I have half a bottle of sake that I should not probably drink. Want to help me finish it?” She asked sounding a lot more normal, not knowing who this guy was. Although he did look mature enough to hang around with her, looking at the claymore on his back she guessed he was most likely a jonin that she had never met in the village. If he decided to stay Seika would continue on to introduce herself, “I’m Seika Sarutobi, Shinobi of the leaf. You are??”
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">DivineZiel: -Everything seemed to be going by so fast when looked at it from Ded's perspective, the crowd of people growing louder as Ded only sat there with Kinshi and Seika, drinking sake for a decent amount of time while Kinshi even ended up shoving some food in Seika's mouth due to her probably being embarrassed since she was a shy person. Smiling as he felt the alcohol levels in his body taking over a bit, he felt a bit more loose and even ended up having a better time than he thought he would due to the isolation he was under in the mountains compared to this entire festival going on when he got back. Hearing Kinshi before and after the fireworks, Ded then nodded to Seika to her going for a walk as he felt Kinshi's head resting on his shoulder as he then turned his head towards her and kissed her head gently. Grabbing the bottle of sake that he had, he poured some more into a cup as he took it down in one gulp once again. The people around were only going with their lives, happily and living it as they wished without the fear of what could happen next. Keeping Kinshi by his side, he only tilted his head to the side towards Kinshi and rested his head on hers as a sign of affection as he chuckled a bit.-
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Guest_SnowmaidenBlue: Yuki saw the two becoming more lovey and decided it was time for her to go. Waving she once more began to walk around, looking for others she might know. Here and there she would wave and talk to someone, but it didn't last long, as everyone seemed to be coupling up or had come with their family. She once more found herself near the rides. Looking up at the Ferris wheel, she felt a pang of longing. She had wanted to ride it with a friend or special someone, but since she was alone she shrugged and got in line for the big wheel anyways.
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">AnonymousSavage: -While walking on without even doing a single thing yet O’s day was already made as he saw how the people around him were having tons of fun with each other, so naturally he knew it was time for him to get some of that siz urp but where? Stopping for a moment his eyes began to scan around while his steps grew slow searching for anyone who had a bottle and wasn’t fully paying attention. “AH HA” he thought within his head as he spotted a group that included one male and two women one of which getting some food shoved down her mouth while he thought “ Seems she has tons of space in that place…. Hehehe….”. O’s eyes locked onto the bottle the man used to pour a second cup and he knew exactly what he must do, question was how exactly did he want to handle the situation? “Meh screw askin I got this….” He said to himself while at first began walking at a slow pace coming towards their direction and growing closer and closer while having his head look everywhere but at them to keep from being suspicious while spotting one lady walk off. “Nows my chance.. GO GET YOU SOME BOY.” He thought while seeing the male lay his head on the ladies shoulder, so instantly O took off running forwards and closer towards the males side where the bottle was at. Upon growing within arms distance O tried to have his right arm reach on out and try to grasp hold of the neck of the bottle yelling “ YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS YOURS SIKE”. Naturally if successful he would continue running in one smooth motion forwards while trying to put the bottle to his lips to start getting as much of a swig as he could knowing most likely he would be chased.-
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Nier: Impaired by alcohol? Most definitely. To where her seat slide closer to Ded’s, she was practically on his lap at this point from being so close—Her head was moved to where it rested against his chest. Her cheek was placed gently against his collarbone as her side was resting into his torso as she leaned into him in comfort—Her eyes watching the skies that held fireworks, flames and many other beautiful things. Despite the amount that could be found in her system, she wasn’t incapacitated, far from it actually—Sadly, it impaired her reason of sense, as she allowed Seika whom was drunken beyond belief to wander alone. Maybe.. She just didn’t want to play therapist, desiring not to dip into depression or the damaged psyche of another, not on this day—For the sake of her ‘happiness’ and ‘wellbeing’. She wanted to be selfish and care about herself, but she found herself softly caring about the safety of Seika, if not villagers. Before she could find herself really losing herself to her impaired senses, she was going to make atleast one more safety check of being responsible for her ‘Onee-chan’—Lifting her head up from Ded’s shoulder, her hand moved away from her mouth as she reached over the table. Curling all her fingers besides that of her index, she pointed to the streets, with her hand angled upward towards the rooftops—Held to the darkness, the shadows, the shine of orange eyes lit from the darkness. It’s figure was masked, but it appeared small and in the size of a fully grown animal of some type. “Moushi-sama. Re-motion. Eight-four. Ninety degrees. Lavender. Onee-chan.” She said. Her voice was composed and every word she said was coded and held to an order, despite her addressing said person or figure as a higher ranking as her—Upon the completion of this order, the figure launched off the rooftop, revealing itself as an massive hawk, a beautiful bird with eyes that shined like the burning flames of a campfire or the will of fire that his village held so blessedly. Dancing from it’s spot, feathers fell—As her orders went through, Moushi was a figure that Seika knew only as a bird and knew this bird as Meiko. As par orders, the bird was simply told to locate Seika, stay out of sight and make sure she stayed safe, only interfere if Seika or a villager is in danger—Simply put, just find her and make sure she makes it home okay. Ideally, Moushi was a good idea for, as if he was sensed or seen, it’ll just appear as a massive bird with no special traits or qualities, basically just a bird having a casual fly. Placing her head back on Ded’s collar bone, she looked up to him as her hand cupped over her mouth again—Her Aqualit eyes staring to his eyes as she smiled behind her hand happily. “So.. I thought about it.. Would you like to see the fireworks... That are suppose to off at the Hokage office? I never got to see them, atleast I can’t remember.. Of course.. They are massive and can be seen perfectly from here.. but.. I.. Erm..” She paused, she wasn’t good at things like this—She didn’t want to say something silly and as blunt as ‘It’ll be special to me if we both got a front row view of the fireworks—Because I’m still a child’, which was her thought that she wasn’t going to say. “I think it’ll be better to see them as close as possible. So want to?” She continued to ask—Kinshi was impaired and Ded was still drinking, it wouldn’t be ideal for her father to see them like this, but that was farthest thing she could offer a fuck for. Upon him agreeing, she’d hop up and they’d make their way that way, through the massive crowd.
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">HarleeVanity: Hitomi saw the wink and the way he looked at her when he had brought up his ‘plan B.’ She couldn’t help herself but let out a warm laugh. That was enough to take the nervousness from her. She looked to him and nodded. “I’ve been well. I started my Med-nin training. So we’ll see what happens when missions start up again.” She watched the flashing of the fireworks and continued to smile. “Keldran had given me a gift before we all split ways.” She held her hand up and showed him the metal finger tips. “I don’t have to worry about cutting them off any more.” She said trying to make a light joke from her own choice. Feeling a bit more comfortable, she’d let her guard down and give B a genuine smile of warmth and happiness that lit up her eyes. “I’m happy to see you again.”
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Keruberosu: |KF| -Keldran would hear the woman yell wait and then suddenly he felt the back of his jacket being gripped. He would turn to look at her and as she spoke he could hear the alcohol oozing off her breath. Not in a unpleasant way but he still could smell how heavily she had been drinking that night. Keldran could see her standing was wiggly and her knees would surely buckle at any moment so as she rambled on Keldran would lift her from the legs and cradle her into his arms princess style. “Keldran Fuma, and I’m not alone anymore I’ll spend it with you.” His deep voice smooth it out his mouth almost like water flowing off the tongue with no room to spare. Having her in his arms he sat down and let her lay against him. The warmth of his body would give a pleasant feeling to her. His right hand began to slowly comb through her hair starting from the base all the way down to the ends. Keldran would only half smile at her attempts “You aren’t stupid and I think I’ll finish it. Don’t want you hurting yourself now.” Keldran took the half bottle of sake and took a dreadful gulp he hated the taste of alcohol but he cared about her health more than his own. So with a brave heart and good intentions in mind he took the bottle to his lips and began to swallow it down his body wanting to repulse it and once he drunk 25 percent of it in a single gulp he pulled back up for air and he tried to stifle the gagging sounds. But he took it back to his lips once more and finished the entire bottle before tossing it off into the distance and just holding her close to his body. His large muscular arms crooked around her as they sat. He noticed a bird circling but paid it no mind he simply held her and watched the fireworks. “I am a shinobi but I’m pretty sure you’re going to forget me in the morning. So let’s just enjoy the show. Someone as beautiful as you shouldn’t be out here alone.” Even while looking into the sky he could feel her sadness it only made since to drink the tears away. Even though he had other things in mind he felt he was needed here the most and didn’t plan to leave anytime soon.- |KF|
 * KasumiHozuki <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;-webkit-text-stroke:rgb(0,0,0);">Not really in control of herself, in seconds she would feel herself being pulled off the ground. Trying to get a hold of herself she looked up to closely examine the mans face, he had picked her up and carried her princess style. She was speechless, Seika really did not know what to say… It was like a cat had caught her tongue. “Keldran Fuma… I d-o n-ot believe I’ve fought along side you before” Her voice would stutter from her drunkenness “Thank you for going out of your way to be with a drunk woman like myself.” Seika could not help but laugh a little, wondering how she could have possibly ended up with such a gentleman. Blushing even more he swiftly placed her between his legs where she would lay back on him. His body heat radiated onto her and she got chills down her spine, Who was this guy and why had she not met him before. His hand would run itself through her hair, it soothed her and rather then push him away for his close proximity to her. It was the first time since her sisters death that she completely forgot about the bad, embracing the moment that was held before her. Seika could hear Keldran’s gulps, he had finished it which was a better idea then having her do so. As he spoke to her she would lose herself in the fireworks, “I need to get back my inner firework” She said as she tilted her head up to look at the man “I hope I do not forget. Especially since you were so kind to give me company.” Tilting her head back down she would feel his arms crook around her, She blushed and allowed for her left hand to just touch one of the arms around her. She had to make sure this was not all a dream. “You really do not have to stay here, You probably had important things to do” Seika would feel herself biting on her inner cheek nervously.
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">DivineZiel: -Watching as Kinshi leaned off of him for a second and only turned his head while he saw some kid running by and grabbing the bottle of sake from in front of him as he heard what he said as he squinted and then shrugged slightly. Looking back over to Kinshi, he'd look to where the kid ran off towards as he yelled "Best enjoy it!" Chuckling a bit from slight intoxication, he'd kiss Kinshi's head once more until he looked down to her and into her eyes as he heard what she was saying. With her pausing, he only smiled a bit more than he was since he found it cute that she had to pause and think of what she wanted to say. Nodding as he said "Of course." And with that, they both got up and made their way into the crowd as Ded grabbed Kinshi's hand and held it in his tightly so he didn't lose her in the crowd, letting her lead the way or if she wanted, he could.-
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">JaeAre: B would hear Hitomi talking about her adventures of the last year and a half, but in the state B was in he wouldn't really comprehend it. He would watch and listen in a semi-drunken stooper as she lifted her hands up showin off her feline like claws she said Keldran had made her. B would stare and smile and he chuckled a bit dropping his cigar and beer in the process as they fall from his hand to the ground many stories down. "Kitty feeling... -hiccup- Frisky?" he would say referring to her claws as he clumsily leaned forward puckering his lips for what seemed to be a kiss attempt, what would happen next? Who knows maybe Hitomi would be feeling the need for some jungle fever.

Listening to her speak he would promptly respond. “Yeah I’ve been gone from the village for a long time since that mission to save the leaf 2 years ago. But I’m home now.  You’ll be seeing a lot of me hopefully.” Her stutter was quite cute to Keldran even though it had been such a short time he was already growing some fondness for her. “No worries you aren’t a drunken woman you are Seika. I’m glad I can take care of you and spend some time together. Everything starts somewhere eh?” Offering a small smile as they began to watch the fireworks together the alcohol beginning to travel through his system somewhat but he was nowhere close to even tipsy just yet.  Looking down at her he just felt the brashness inside him yelling nearly screaming to take this moment by the neck and take it. “Then let me light that firework and nurture it. You have my word.” While she looked at him Keldran returned the same eye contact before he pursued his lips together and quickly planted them onto her own. The camera panned out the fireworks exploding and covering across the sky as the two kissed the scene beautiful to anyone who beholden it. Keldran closed his eyes and his heart could be felt beating just a few steps more. This was his first kiss.  Feeling against her soft lips he could only help but smile on the inside as he held her tighter while doing so. He would hold it for about 15 seconds before stopping and taking a few deep breaths while looking at her. He was in small disbelief that he even did it. But he smiled and spoke in his crisp deep voice. “I’m happy.” Is all he said.- |KF|

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;-webkit-text-stroke:rgb(0,0,0);">‘So I am guessing he went away to train for 2 year’ She thought to herself as she nodded “I hope so too…” She could not help but feel her cheeks flush in a light pink tone. Keldran was such a gentleman, kind and spontaneous. Seika had never done this with a man before, heck she has not even touched a guys shoulder… It seemed that the alcohol made her more comfortable in her surroundings. He last two words surprised her, ‘Light my firework?’ before she knew it the man had his lips pressed against her own. Her eyes wide in shock, but after 2 seconded they would close feeling herself melt into the kiss, it was her first. It was not planned… nor done through arranged marriage… It was perfect, not many man even caught the eye of Seika but this guy; She did not know how to handle her emotions, they were exploding everywhere. Seika’s heart had stopped, she did not know how to explain it… but once he pulled away from the small moment her voice was gone. Keldran said he was happy, but Seika could not understand what she was feeling. She had never had a crush before, Seika was utterly confused. This strong and intelligent woman was flabbergasted. “I-I… Do not know what to say” Her face was red and her heart could pound out of her chest. Knowing the fire works would end soon, she would have to get home soon before her clan would send out a search party. “If its not too much to ask, would you walk me home?” Her eyes looked up into his as she wished the night could have been longer.

 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">To his acceptance of her request, her head tilted almost in confusion of accepting a no—Her expression was basically a reaction of ‘Oh’really?’. Grabbing the katana wrapped within a cloth, she used one of the loops to clip it to her obi—Clipping it to the back of her obi, against a strong ribbon. Grabbing his hand, she stood her step forward—Feeling the sake that she drunk without a second guess of what could happen, she stepped a bit wrong. Leaning forward a bit, she almost fell but caught herself with her other foot and stood up tall and proud—Her eyes looking around wondering if anyone notice her mistake. Making their way to the streets, Kinshi motioned in a fast pace, she held a smile and she appeared to be having a blast, just all around a good night—Dancing in the breeze, to each motion she made, she worked around and between the crowd, she dashed to the left and the right, even between couples. She almost pushed a tall male over, a female lost her hat due to the breeze coming off Kinshi’s body as she dashed—Almost like a child hyped on too much candy, she held Ded’s hand firmly so she wouldn’t lose him. Waving fists in the air to even hands waving to her, the mix of anger and happiness greeted the childish Kinshi whom was just having a blast—She liked the idea of being close to these fireworks, to share this moment with someone.. Someone she could say she loved.. A first moment that she would forever remember and a memory that couldn’t be deleted—She wouldn’t eve allow it. “So many people, huh..?” she mumbled—They advanced to the heart of the village. After a good few moments, she stopped in a slide, the heels of her shoes grinding against the dirt as her body turned to the right as she ceased movement—Before them, the Hokage building was there.

“Over here.” She said—Dashing once more to the right that she turned to, the opposite way of way of her temple. Circling around the Hokage’s building, there was a black gate that guarded a garden she made, this garden held many flowers, many bushes that made the area private—Stopping before this tall gate that didn’t allow one to see over, she ripped a key from her neck, using it to unlock the gate and pushing it open, tugging the key into her obi. Matching forward into the garden, it held the perfect view of the Hokage office top, to where they would have no problem seeing the Hokage and the fireworks—In actuality they were about fifty yards away from the building, this place allowed the Hokage to over see what Kinshi did, as this was actually an area she trained in personally.. After all, these plants were hers. It was a massive area with thousands of different types of flowers with a single path between the field and a decent patch of grass that allowed her to drop a cover to sit on.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Letting go of Ded’s hand, she motioned along the path and turned to a tree that held a decent sized box, opening it, she pulled out a light blue cover and walked over to the patch of grass, tossing the cover down for both to sit—Within the box was also little snacks, this was her ‘private’ area after all, there was also drinks. Placing the box on the cover, she sat down in the center—The cover was about ten feet long and seven feet wide, a good cover. Around the two was trees that covered them, allowing them not the be viewed from the sides or behind, despite the highest area, but they would be seen from the front of the hokage office, specially from the rooftop. “I use to come here everyday as a child.” She said to Ded, sitting on her legs due to being in a dress. 02:04, April 19, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;margin-top:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Song

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Clearer than the sound of a thousand roaring warriors, louder than the echoing of a hundred bolts of lightning drumming thunderous noises through the air, more profound than the very breath one would inhale when first entering the world, more intense than being held by one’s moths for the first time. It was the sound of an endless row of drums being struck in uplifting cadence that preceded the huge fanfare which came walking through the main gates of Konoha.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">First came two rows of drumming men, a traditional drum strapped around their waists, all dressed in oriental regalia bearing the royal red of the Daimyo. Their heads covered by masks of red birds as their arms struck in perfect rhythm, raising and falling in perfect unison, wave after wave, like the echoing of a million heartbeats that send tremors through the entirety of Konohagakure as all of the festival speakers fell deadly silent.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Then, between the drummers, strolled forth a large cart mounted with a huge Gong which was struck by a man that rivalled Godric in height; swinging a large red stick the end of which was wrapped in royal silk. Time after time again he struck in symphony with the drums as the parade continued through the main road of Konoha where more and more spectators began to gather on rooftops and by the side of the street, cheering and looking on in amazement as the very Daimyo himself was then seen passing through the gate. It was hard to get a clear view of the lord of the Land of Fire because of the ring of seven body guards, each dressed in red robes and cowls, that walked outside a square-formation of four extremely beautiful, but underage, girls which held up their umbrellas; occasionally spinning the umbrellas before changing their formation as if dancing along to the music. But to those lucky enough to sneak a peek they’d see an overweight man with slanted eyes and a thin beard extending down from his chin.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The Daimyo’s entourage, ever aligned by the two rows of drumming men that seemed endless, continued to pass through as the parade began to approach the large open square in front of the Hokage’s building. Just then, a large amount of ANBU took place in hiding around the square; always out of sight but always keeping everyone in their view, ready to act in a moment’s notice.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">But one could wonder why the ANBU were even there given what followed next.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">[Pause Song]

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The drums suddenly stopped playing as the whole marching band took up position in the square after setting up two thrones at the north side of the square, closest to the Hokage’s building; the left, red, throne inhabited by the Daimyo and surrounded by his people. The many drummers took place by the left and right side of the square, over a hundred men on each side that stood perfectly still, ready to continue playing at a moment’s notice, while also acting as a barricade between the people and those taking up residence inside the square. The south of the square was kept open while a group of academy students on each side held out torches and golden banners while looking all the way down to the gate, far south, where it was yet impossible to see who ro what was coming net.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Then, from in the distance, one could hear a single loud voice.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“Order of the Phoenix, assemble!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">What followed was the sound of a hundred warriors shouting out in reply.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“YES SIR.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">And then they were seen like shining beacons in the distance, walking side by side in lines of five, twenty rows deep, a legion of a hundred men dressed in the most intricate golden armor. Their shoulder pieces fitted with wing like protrusions as their plated skirts flowed along with their movements in such grace that each and every one of these warriors seemed noble. All of them carried a single Katana in their left hand, the golden sheathe set with many rubies and featuring the engravings of flaming birds with trails of fire in the wake of their flight; to such details that the sheathes almost looked alive. But most amazing of all were the capes of fire that fell down their backs, ever burning, but cold enough for a child to touch without burning his or her hand, at least, when the warriors were in a passive state such as now. When in battle, these capes would grow to immense temperatures while spreading out like the wings of a phoenix; making each of these golden, legendary, warriors capable of flight. Because of this they were perhaps the most famous army of the land of fire, or even all the shinobi nations.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">And in front of them walked one man. He was not dressed in any armor, he was not cloaked by a fiery cape, yet he burned brighter than the whole army combined. Tall, broad shouldered, with the guide of a lord of warfare and justice. His eyes of such prowess, will, and vigor, that all of the spectators could do naught but bow their heads in respect. In his left hand he held the sheathe of a sword famous in myth and legend, the Phoenix Blade which carried the very spirit of the Phoenix King, one of the mightiest mythical beasts in the known universe; the being which bestowed the Order of the Phoenix with their fiery capes.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">And only one man could wield such a mighty weapon, only one hand could grasp its searing sheathe without finding his hand burnt to a crisp, and that man was announced by the entire legion behind him, their voices louder than trumpets as they bellowed throughout the streets of Konoha.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“THE LEAF WELCOMES YOU, LORD OF FIRE, HEIR OF HEARTS!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“Ikeru Senju, Second Hokage of Konoha, The Child of the Roaring Sun, The Wildfire Emperor!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“We are the army of Gold, the Order of the Phoenix, Swords of the Sun!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“In your honor. WE CELEBRATE!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">[Un-pause Song]

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Again… the parade began to play, slow at first but building up to an intense climax as the Hokage and his army entered the square. The Order of the Phoenix then spread out in two rows of fifty men in order to close of the south side of the square while only Ikeru walked onwards and took a seat upon the golden throne beside the Daimyo, his long red hair, and black and red Kimono, making him stand out against the golden background.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">[Pause the Song]

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">He raised a hand, immediately silencing the crowd, and allowed his gaze to wander over the mass of people that had gathered. His voice powerful, full, and carrying the vigor of one who spent more time on the battlefield than a soul should ever endure.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“We gather in celebration, today, for one very reason. Not to enjoy ourselves, not to be wasteful, not to forget. No. We gather to remember, to live for those fallen, to spread joy in their name. Today we honor those fallen, by honoring the lives that we’ve been blessed to keep throughout our years of living. –Now standing up from his throne, speaking more intensely.- Today we are one, one village, one heart, one future, one past, one present. Today we are thankful of those who give their lives in order to hold this village safe.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">He then unsheathed the majestic Phoenix Blade which radiated at such brilliance that it was next to impossible to make out the actual blade before it exploded in a wave of fire that travelled upward before taking up the shape of a huge and majestic bird of prey composed of nothing but fire.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">[Un-pause the song]

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">And as the bird screeched, the music rolled back in, fireworks exploded from all throughout the village in every color one could imagine.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">In an instant, the sky was brighter than ever before.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“Family, friends, beloved people of Konoha. Let yourselves live free in this Festival of the sun!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">And on that note, the festival broke loose as spectators were allowed to walk inside the square where they began dancing and singing while the music played. The Order of the Phoenix walking back in order to give the people more space while ever keeping at watch with eyes keener than those of the ANBU hidden in the shadows.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;margin-bottom:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">A line of people had gathered by the two thrones, people who sought to congratulate the Daimyo and Hokage; people who were all given a chance at brief conversation. But most commoners didn’t dare step forward so at the moment there were only a dozen or so that stepped forth one by one in order to give and receive their blessings before passing along. After touching the forehead of a woman with child, blessing her with good fortune, Ikeru gazed up at the Phoenix in the sky that continued to fly around majestically, but then his attention was drawn to the next in line. 03:16, April 19, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> Hitomi looked to B and the moment she had let her guard down with him and was trying to get to know him better, he’d lean in and kissed her. Her eyes went wide and she felt her entire face flush as she froze in place unsure of what to do. A million thoughts went through her mind but the one that stood out the most was the idea that when he sobered up, he wouldn’t remember this at all. She wasn’t sure if it was the alcohol that caused him to kiss her or if he really wanted to. But she didn’t move from him though she tasted nothing but his cigar, beer and sake that he had been smoking and drinking. The taste of the mixture was a very unpleasant one but she liked him and tried to push the through from her mind. It wasn’t the way she had thought her first kiss would be, but at least there were fireworks going off.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> Then hearing the drums, she’d pull away from his lips and reached to place her hand up in the middle of B’s chest. Activating the Byakugan, she’d see the entry of the Hokage and the Daimyo. It was a very nice display that was put forth but she’d never really felt comfortable going down and seeing him. Deactivating the Byakugan once more, she looked back to B with a smile as she danced a bit with the beat of the drum. It was really a bit hard to ignore. 03:28, April 19, 2016 03:45, April 19, 2016 03:48, April 19, 2016
 * Clownfishie |KF| -Once the kiss had finally ended he would look at her and notice her body began to produce crazy amounts of heat and his hand that was near her chest could feel all the large beats of her heart. It was nice to know someone felt the same way he did especially when he took such a risk that could’ve easily back fired.  Noticing her stir of feelings and her comment of not knowing what to say he would reply somewhat shyly. “You don’t need to say anything I completely understand.” Seeing the redness of her cheeks and the moonlight reflecting off her eyes he could only feel so much more confident in his choice.  “Of course what kind of man could I claim to be if I didn’t take you home? Here grab my hand.” Keldran would stand up slowly and reach his hand down to her which when she took grip of It he would lift her to his side and hold her hand as they walked.  As they reached the gate and saw all the light lanterns all around the village kids and adults alike filling the streets with food eating, game merriment and lots and lots of laughter all around. It was a beautiful sight to see the village like this and it made it that much better to know his return to the village would be completed with a girl now on his hip. Looking down to her with a smile as they walked he would ask. “Hopefully you had a good night so far? Shame it has to end so soon though. Then again I’m just glad to have met such a beautiful lady like you.” He had such an innocent and simple thought process but he held himself so confidently but also maturely it’s like he had a weird parallel but it worked out. Keldran and Seika alike could see a large crowd of people begin to go to a certain point so they followed the flow of the crowd towards the Hokage office and waited looking around with confusion he looked to Seika. “What is going on, do you know?”- |KF|Edited by Clownfishie 03:45, April 19, 2016
 * JaeJaeTheAirplane <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">B's kiss would land directly on its target location "Boom headshot." would be the phrase that the voice in B's mind would say. His eyes closed throughout the encounter he just felt his lips touch her's a nice feeling to be had. To his surprise she wouldn't pull back even with the strong hints of alcohol and smoke from the cigar on his breathe "My mans, she likes it bust that tenketsu open like a real one boiiii!" the voice in his mind would yell as if it were proud of B. He would feel a push upon his chest as the sounds of drums flooded the air his lips still puckered as they kiss the air as his reaction time was  pretty delayed at this point. He would slowly open his eyes to the scene of Hitomi dancing a bit as he heard the music hit harder than Kiju sensei, "Ayyyeeeee" he would say as he began to do a dance move he declared "The Dab" as he hit  it multiple times as the music roared on. He would dance himself out as the bright lights of the festival faded and he fell to the side towards Hitomi's lap his resting place for possibly the rest of the night until he would eventually wake again.

 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Nodding at his reply, it made her feel a lot less shy and a lot more comfortable around him. Smiling as he agreed to take her home, Seika watched as he stood. He was so much taller then her five foot five stature. Grabbing his hand, her head would feel like it was going to explode she could only imagine the hangover she would gets. Allowing him to take the lead since she was overly intoxicated, using all her strength to not have her fall in her heals. In the centre of the festivals it was still so lively; food, people, games… Everything was there. The only thing was Seika was too drunk to experience it first time. Walking along side Keldran, many male villagers would be shoked; whispering to themselves that she was not a lesbian. “I had a wonderful night. But I feel that I am too drunk to function, anyone can see me and say that Im not a fit member to my clan. It would dishonour my father” She spoke as she noticed a large cloud around the Hokages office. “I have no idea” Seika was curious herself, as people ran towards the heavy crowd they would scream “WE CAN ACTUALLY MEET THE HOKAGE!!” Unlike most, Seika panicked. “Keldran, I will embarrass myself he knows my father… I really can not get into trouble after…” Seika did not finish her sentence because she felt it would make her upset again. Turning to stand in front of him and stop him from walking, she leaned in to kiss his cheek. “SEIKA! THERE YOU ARE” Seika’s cousin Shey would be heard from behind Keldran. “Do not forget me… I hope to see you again” Her hand would caress Keldran’s face as her cousin pulled her way and made her piggy back him. “Your father and mother were worried you had done something stupid. I can see it was not to far from that. I can smell the sake, If the Hokage saw you like this you would bring shame to your clan and lose your respect. He would never consider her a possible Hokage ever again” Shey said but Seika did not listen, all she was doing was looking over her shoulder to the mystery man that swept her off her feet. “May we meet again…” Seika whispered as she passed out on Shey’s back and was taken back quickly to the compound were her mother would tend to her.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Keru: |ZKF| -Keldran would look at her and nod in agreement to the statement of being too drunk to function at the current moment. “You won’t bring dis-honor to anyone I can tell you that with confidence. Embarrassment maybe. “ He would laugh lightly and try to defuse the small amount of tension Seika was beginning to build up with. Looking to see the bright lights and the striking of loud drums he would keep moving forward with amazement and that’s when his self-proclaimed rival would appear the first time he had seen the Hokage from his point of view. Seeing the whole army of soldiers he could only stare out at them with an opened mouth gasp. It was a moment that everyone should be consumed by the sight of this was a once in a lifetime occurrence. But his gaze was quickly interrupted once more by Seika and the screaming of the crowd almost making it hard to hear here but he honed in closer. Seika’s arms stopping his forward motion he gave her eye contact from there her soft plump lips would plant themselves onto his stern cheek and then she spoke once more he let all the words flow through before speaking his piece. “You will see me again, that’s a promise.” Her soft hand finally rolling off his cheek until she was taken from his sight and by the body of a sarutobi so he had faith she was in good hands. Keldran would continue to move forward through the crowd as the ceremony commenced and that is when it seemed to hit the final climax and the firebird in the sky screeched its highest pitch and fireworks began to erupt all over coating the sky in a perfect light show. The fireworks had kept all the commoners attention and maybe some shinobi depending but Keldran saw this as an opportunity to final declare and assert himself in the shinobi world. So just like earlier with Seika he was ready to grab this situation by the balls. The order of the phoenix broke about which almost made a pathway and now Keldran began to run at top speed almost striding off each leg as it hit the ground. Coming closer and closer to his target the legend Ikeru. Keldran would adjust the leather strap around his claymore on his back and tip it forward so the unsheathing process would be that much quicker. Now once he got within a certain 10 yard distance from the area he leaped high into the air by leaping off his strong calf muscles and his person showed in the air. If he wasn’t already spotted by fellow shinobi he would be at this moment his blue hair was flowing against the wind and his dark chain overcoat following in its stead. Keldran would land in front of both of the men directly and he chucked some dirt with his landing but once it cleared the boy could be seen standing in front of them both. Fire in his eyes and his claymore in hand. Now normally no person no man would dare draw a weapon in the presence of these two legends but Keldran was different. Smashing the sword into the ground directly a few feet ahead of himself he looked to Ikeru and the Daimyo his eyes making a blaring contact with the Hokage as he could feel the power and heat radiating off his body. He only smiled as the entire crowd and the phoenix guard stood on edge, almost some sort of dis-belief ran through their minds at the bravery or possible stupidity he showed. Now speaking with his deep voice almost nearly unnoticeable to those who already knew him he spoke loud enough for the crowd to hear. “I KELDRAN FUMA, DECLARE IKERU SENJU THE HOKAGE MY RIVAL!” He’d turn to the cricket filled crowd looking out to them before he turned around and spoke once more. “One day I will take your spot even if blood requires it. Mark down this day because I sure will. Fathers Friend, Hokage,Ikeru.” A small pause allowing the air to thicken between the two souls before Keldran repeated himself again. “You. Are. Mine.” Now he stood and awaited their reactions and anyone’s reaction for that matter.- |KF| 04:13, April 19, 2016

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> She laughed seeing him get excited about the music. Watching him dance, she smiled brightly and joined him in dancing. Though she wasn’t sure about dancing just like him, she did let go a bit more and just enjoyed his company while the music that came echoing from the street. She watched him and her smile continued as she saw him begin to slow. She slowed to a stop when she noticed his eyes close and his body begin to fall towards her. She gasped and raised her hands up to grab him before he hurt himself falling into her. Gently guiding his head to her lap, she smiled softly while shaking her head. Slowly, she’d slide her fingers through his crimson strands while looking to him fondly. “Perhaps we can try that kiss again…” She whispered softly not that he would hear her. “... when you’re not drunk..” She’d lean over and place a gentle kiss on his forehead and just sit there with him on her lap, softly stroking through his hair. Activating the Byakugan, she’d watch the events that were happening below while staying with her passed out companion.

 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">DivineZiel: -As they weaved through the crowd, multiple people until they reached a gate. Chuckling at how he was pulled due to her strength and how fast she was going, he bumped into a few people because of her but he laughed it all off and said "Sorry." to each one it happened to. While he was being pulled, they suddenly stopped as he looked towards the locked off area while she unlocked the gate and they walked inside with him following. As he followed her on the path she was taking him on, he saw a small patch of grass while he felt her let go of his hand and only looked around, admiring how everything looked. Seeing her lay out a small cover on the ground, he only smiled towards her while she sat down as he stepped over and merely laid his katana on the cover next to them and reached over to only undo the katana she had on her that was wrapped up and put it next to his. Sitting down with her, he'd spread his legs to her sides and wrapped his arms around her, pulling up closer to him and only snuggled her tightly. Looking down to her, he kissed her cheek gently as he whispered against her skin "I'm glad you brought me here." Pulling away from her cheek, he'd nuzzle her head as he said "It's beautiful and I'm sure it's filled with memories of those times." Just then, the drums roared out just like the sound of thunder building up in the sky while Ded only held Kinshi close as he then heard all of the talking going on. But then, the sky lit up powerfully as the lights glistened in his eyes for a moment and he looked down to Kinshi and only said "Sounds like your father is out there." He stopped and looked back to the sky, his yellow eyes taking in the night as he only thought about it. Kinshi was the Hokage's daughter and...she's with someone like Ded. It didn't make sense at all since those of high power usually have arranged marriages set up for their children. For a moment, Ded questioned the state of it all but shrugged it off as he glared down to Kinshi and leaned his head down to her shoulder as his lips pressed her along the flesh of her neck as he let them linger, his lips forming a smile.-
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Yuki moved up in the line every couple minutes. As she was about to seat herself in one of the baskets, drums began to thump and many of the people began to hurry towards the sound. Not sure she wanted to be in a crowd, the girl simply watched. The man running the Ferris wheel eyed the girl and then would flick his gaze towards the large group of villages gathers some distance away. He clearly wanted to go, so Yuki touched his hand to get his attention. "If you will let me sit at the top of the wheel, I will watch it and you can go see whats going on."

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">The man accepted her offer, pulling the lever as soon as the girl was settled in her seat, then stopping it when she reached the top. Waving in thanks, the man then hurried away, leaving Yuki alone. She sighed a little, not having had anyone to enjoy the view with, but was glad that she got what she considered the best seat in the village. Watching the fireworks and then the phoenix, a small content smile graced the girls painted lips. 04:57, April 19, 2016
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Settling herself down on the cover she placed out, she looked to the sky in wonder as Ded found himself getting comfortable—To where placed his weapon down, he sat awhile undoing her weapon held clipped to her obi. Maybe, her senses were slowed due to the amount of sake in her system or maybe it was because she trusted him enough to allow him this close to her—However, the moment his arm wrapped unclicked it, he also pulled her him to, snuggling her into his embrace. It was a pull she wasn’t expecting or waiting for, which caused her to ‘fall’ onto him gently—Her cheek was placed against his chest awhile her body leaned onto his in optimal comfort. She didn’t really do holding, she didn’t like to be held or snuggled, but she did enjoy soft hugs, however, this was far from it—She held a moment within her mind, where within her temple, there was a moment to where she found herself sitting in Ded’s lap as she comforted her within the ruins of her temple. As his lips planted against her cheek, they held themselves warm and bright with the shade of red, as his lips moved away, she looked up to him with huge aqualit eyes that shined and sparkled due to the moon above them with the stars adding the glitter. She wasn’t shy nor was she embarrassed at this point, yet, she blushed at the affection—She didn’t feel shame, she didn’t feel anything but happiness, for this moment and this moment only, she could say this moment was nothing but happiness to her. As she stared up to him with a smile, she had listened to every word, she was glad to bring him here—This special place. “Sometimes the memories could be classed as rather ‘bad’—But.. You being here.. Makes it a special.. Gravely special to me..” She mumbled to him, she tried to admit it with more confidence, but she felt like it would’ve been corny—Leaning her body into him more, she nuzzled into him affectionately. Within the same instance of these words being exchanged, her eyes set upon the sky that held lit with beautiful flames—The ego, honor and pride of her father as his name was said, to where the crowd got quiet and the sounds of drums went of. “Yeah..” She whispered agreeing with Ded, as she stared in awe—Normally, it’ll worry her to have such flames near such forest life, but she knew all to well they would not burn. In honesty, she wanted to go there and talk to her father, awhile having Ded Lee with her, but.. Would it be a good idea, after all.. There was reason she didn’t want to bring this to her father.. Subsiding her thoughts as she was left in awe, like a daydream, she felt something brush against her shoulder as something warm against her neck—“Hee” A partial giggle slipped through her lips, she was a bit ticklish on her neck. Where her cheeks were shaded with a deeper red, they were flaring and felt like they were on fire—The feeling was nice, she liked it more than she’ll admit, but her body did it for her. Out of a habit, she tilted her neck a bit which allowed him more room but also caused his lips to be removed from her neck by a fragment of an inch. “You are tickling me.” She said softly, so softly that her voice could’ve been mistake for the breeze that circled them.

She didn’t tell him to stop, she actually didn’t want him to stop, but something caused the events not to go in her favor—Breaking through the sound of the crowd that was roaring up, she heard a loud voice that dared to speak to the Hokage in such a way, challenging him. It cooked her, it actually baked her a bit, it annoyed her and she couldn’t understand why—“Absolutely fucking not.” She said, her voice even held a bit of annoyance. Unwrapping Ded’s arms from around her, gently, she placed her hands against the ground to push herself up to her knees—Leaning over a bit, she placed a kiss on Ded’s cheek, it was a soft kiss and her eyes were closed, this was a means to calm herself and also thanking him.“Please come with me.” Talking against his cheek, she asked him as she moved away—Within the same instance, she stood up on her feet as she grabbed the sword, clipping in back to her obi. “Please.” She said with final time as she frowned, she wasn’t going to drag this time.

Listening to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4VA8furPFs

As she gave this word, the chakra coursing through her body was utilized—Expelling around her was petals from the cherry blossom tree, dancing by the millions. Within this cloud of smoke, Kinshi leaped upward and forward into a near by tree—Her movement was track-able, see-able for Ded to follow and no doubt he’ll know where she is heading. Due to the distance, it was easier for her to get there, she was only fifty yards, which she cut through quickly. “The nerve..” She mumbled to herself in displeasure. As her feet graced the limb of a tree, she forced chakra into it and used her wood release skills to make it motion over to the Hokage Office—Extending her right hand, she pointed onward. Growing by her will, the tree limb grew and extended forward, reaching to the square—To the villagers and people watching, maybe even the Hokage himself, it appear differently as it was more ‘magical’. Growing over the gate that held itself about twenty feet tall, reaching over to the center of the square but not touching the ground nor harming any villager or bystander. It was stopped dead-center of the square, Kinshi being on the very tip of the growing tree—She was over the square, infront of the Hokage building and her face was based with composure. She motioned in a haste to deny her father from allowing himself to speak.

“I, Kinshi Senju, cannot allow such a statement and rivalry as there is a set of rules that you have failed to understand!” Speaking to a loud extend, she spoke to Keldran as he desired to challenge the Hokage, but was in the end, challenging the rite of Kinshi.''' “As his offspring. You are challenging my rite! Defeat me. And you will be able to kindle and carry the flame! And then, with that. You are able to become Hokage.“''' Speaking loud and proud, Kinshi stood on her tree as her aqua lit eyes turned to Keldran, directly to him. The villagers would hear this, her father would hear this and even the ANBU would hear this, as far as she was concerned, everyone could hear her.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Lifting her right arm to the sky, her eyes closed for the moment as her body tilted to the left a bit, as her arm lifted, her hand fingers pointed to the sky—As a single, slow moment, she took this moment to collect her pride and honor. “So..” She mumbled. Curling her fingers, the ring, pinky and thumb folded to her palm, her arm dropped as her index and middle fingers were held together as she pointed directly to Keldran. '''“Here I stand. The heart of the Senju, the Prince o—No, the Princess of the Senju. Yurara Senju, challenge Keldran, for my rite—Rite of the Senju and Hokage.”''' She said, her voice was softer as her eyes narrowed a bit as she stared to Keldran. She was no longer addressing herself as Kinshi, but Yurara, the true daughter of the Hokage and Princess of the Senju—Not what her father wanted, which was the expectations of Kinshi. Even if she didn’t have the true rite, she would still be challenging him. This was her reaction, it was said right after he said ''“You. Are. Mine.”''—She didn't mind if she interrupted Hokage, her father. Edited by Clownfishie 07:01, April 19, 2016
 * KumikoKyoko <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">They often said that beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but what they didn't tell you is that each person was blind in their own ways. Some people were blind to personality, and some did not care about appearances at all. Some even more so were blinded to what their own self-worth could be. They believed so little in themselves, that they were suprised by any kind word, or gesture. That morning Kumiko had been awakened in her apartment, a gift from her family, to a delivery from the main family compound.

The last eighteen months had been beyond strange for the woman. Between the way she had been training, and the sudden shift in her family, she was suspicious about just everyone around her. With good reason, she had seen the truth of her family, and she had seen the truth of the world, and she knew she had no place there other than as a tool. She just had to wait to see when the other shoe would drop. That would be the moment she figured out where everything really was, no amount of searching or garnering of information would reveal to her true intentions till people made them known.

But she was trying, and that was all she could do.

The delivery itself had been quite unexpected, a package from the main family compound. A package from her mother and father, and brother. Inside was a Kimono for the events ahead. A gorgeous white kimono with silver designs of snowflakes, and blue edges. It was an expensive down, with several under layers, and long sleeves, and a rather elegant Obi. The garments had taken her time to dress in, and she even found a delicate white silk rose to add to her hair.

She had stashed a few weapons on herself, as well as her books and pencils. She had spent the day hidden in a little alcove, spending her time sketching the events around her. She subtly was gathering information, even as she sat there like a pretty little doll. She had spoken politely to anyone that approached, but made it clear where her focus was all day.

She went through two notebooks, before she started the third. When she started the third was when the commontion began. Her attention was suddenly riveted, from her little hiding spot in an alcove off to the side of some of the street vendors. Her eyes widening as she listened to the speech, and her eyes fixated on the phoenixes. Before she knew it her hand was flying across the page intent on capturing everything she could, even as she took small notations about sizes of the soldiers and even small minute details as to how the feathers of their cloaks ranged. She was captivated, lost...

She was still lost in that writing even when a challenge was issued, and then the Hokage's daughter herself challenged the challenger. Her lips pursed for a moment, reminding her to freshen the gloss she had been wearing. She tucked her pencil behind her ear, listening to the commotions - and watching intently as she slid the small tube across her lips. Whatever was going to happen now? 06:05, April 19, 2016 06:36, April 19, 2016
 * TheSilverPoet <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">While The sun almost set under the horizon forming a red sky.The young Shinobi ran towards the festivall all the bright lights blinded him at first. there where so many colours around him and so  many noises it almost gave him a headache. While being able to ignore these small anoyances he thought about his mission. Getting food and money on the table and because all the noise now seemed the time. running against people on intension quickly pickpocketting them and then running further to disquise himself in the croud. He was a small kid so being able to see him between adults was verry difficult.For a kid his age He was a little bit more tacticall and intelligent then his fellow Genin. Making getting around easier since He knew every little place to hide. even if it meant for him to Hide in plain sight.Everything went smoothly till He bumped into the wrong Person who knew exactly what He was doing. It was his old friend The Shopkeeper. Again the voice of this Man was terribally loud Shouting allaround the festivall in the middle of all the commotion."STOP THAT LITTLE RAT HE STOLE MY COINPOUCH!" suddenly More people checked their money pouches noticing it was missing they all went after this little Kid Who ran as fast as he could through the croud and adventually just on the edge  of town losing the angry croud He hid in one of his usual spots in a small alcove counting His Money.
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Atop one of the rooftops of one of the taller buildings, 2 legs dangled down from the roof whilst there seemed to be someone atop, watching the entire festival from a distance, though amidst the consuming darkness, there was little to be discerned aside from the barely visible smile riddled across the lips of the individual. The sound of metal creaking caused the head to snap to one side, a Ferris wheel appeared more so distracting then the vividly astounding sight of the fireworks and the elegantly soaring phoenix, the figure standing atop of the roof before dispersing into but a blur.

<p class="MsoNormal">The shadow leaping from seat to seat, steadily climbing the staircase of chairs with gentle footing, leaving the rather exposed chairs rocking back and forth until the mysterious figure arrived at the top seat, standing atop the seat and surprisingly light enough for the seat not to rattle too much, though the light shaking did put the figure at an unease. Falling into the seat, the figure pressed their legs together and pushed their body against the side, as if reluctant to make contact with the obvious figure beside them. Leaning back into the chair comfortably, the figure’s head directed upwards, showing no indication to face the other.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hey Yuki, great view” a familiar voice would speak to the female present, as the firework went off and the phoenix passed, light shone down upon the figure’s face, short blonde flowing hair, golden eyes widened and gleaming in excitement with a jaw dropped open at the awe inspiring sight of the Phoenix. Though, unfortunately for Ryouta, the moment was short-lived, even he was incapable of enjoying a single day without some form of a commotion. Though there appeared to be a simultaneous occurrence, the surrounding party around the Hokage had fallen silent whilst a screaming patron spoke about a thief, the child groaning then exhuming a soft sigh.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Can’t enjoy a single day, can we? Hey Yuki, I’m gonna go see what’s happening with the Hokage, could you take care of the idiot thief” the boy said before turning to her, his golden eyes staring into her own and as the phoenix flew by once more she’d see a gentle smile before the boy taps his index finger against her forehead.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Sorry for asking this of you, be safe and take it easy on whomever it is” the boy said, almost boasting of the female’s capabilities with pride, confident that she’d at least be able to handle a petty thief with little to no effort.

<p class="MsoNormal">Amidst the darkness, he forms 6 hand seals, not needing to see his hands as the seals were definitely embedded in the child’s memory, upon the final seal, the golden shroud engulfed the child in a beaming glow which shone brighter than it ever has before due to the contrast with the night filled environment. White coloured chakra seeping into the cloak, the combination revealing a more detailed depiction of a Tiger made from chakra, the boy leaping off from the seat, forming bursts from his feet to dash forth whilst in midair before descending into the square, intending to land beside the feuding Jounin.

<p class="MsoNormal">Landing gently along the side of the square by releasing a last minute light burst of wind, a child enveloped in gold and white chakra before the shroud dispersed, arising into an upright standing position, the boy beamed a widened smile, before bowing his head repeatedly in apology to those who surrounded him. The child had heard what needed to be heard whilst making his way there, and based on the sight of both of them, he knew the situation wasn’t exactly a bonding experience between the 2.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hey, Ryouta here, now, I’m a Genin and I’m like, 13, and even from how I see it, everyone here’s being a little childish. With Keldran we can say it’s because he’s still a kid, but Kinshi-Sensei, you’ve been a shinobi longer than we have. I’m almost sure that there has to be a time where we fight and when we don’t. It’s bad enough we lost Akira, Ringo, Tsukikiba, Hoshitsune, Ieyasu and Takuza to people outside our village now we're threatening our own people? Claiming the Hokage title… thing by fighting or killing. How does that show you’re a good leader? I may be young, but like, I think a good leader isn’t someone who can beat someone up and take a position, or someone born lucky to get the position, but someone who the people think is an awesome person and they prove them right, by protecting the village and the people in it, not starting a fight with them.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Spoke the boy, his speech rather rushed near the beginning though slowed towards the end as it made more sense to him along the way, scratching at the back of his head the boy looks to the both of them, biting on his lower lip nervously, hoping he hadn’t fuelled their rage.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I um, I hope that made sense Kinshi-sama and Keldran. I don’t think I’m smart enough to make speeches that make sense. But I guess trying’s better than nothing” spoke the boy shortly after before offering a nervous chuckle and a quivering shrug, hoping someone somewhere may save him the embarrassment of looking a fool.

 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Yuki was so enthralled by the lights in the sky and the fiery bird she hadn't noticed when the male started climbing up the contraption. when she felt her chart shake a little she looked beside her startled. Seeing her friend she grinned "Ryouto-kun." She said, smiling as he seemed to relax and enjoy the explosions in the night sky. Yuki caught herself staring and turned her eyes back towards the sky, a blush now dusting her cheeks. After a few moments the sound of loud voices caught her attention and she turned her golden orbs towards the sound. not really interested in it she sighed. "People always fighting" she muttered more to herself then the boy currently next to her.

Her head turned so her eyes were now on Ryouta, when he started speaking. Nodding she was about to do as requested when the boy tapped her forehead. Now her face was really red. Not being able to speak or move she watched the boy don his cloak then hurry off towards the crowd surrounding the Hokage. Shaking herself out of her trance the girl couldn't remove the smile on her face as she too, left the wheel. For some reason Yuki felt like she had made a break through with Ryouta, seeing as he had made physical contact with her. She figured that with a possible battle taking place, no one would bother the fair equipment. Yuki hurried to follow the mob, keeping her gold eyes on the boy. The villagers chasing him lost the kid, but Yuki hadn't. Silently she moved so she was behind the boy, then lightly placed her hand on his shoulder.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">"You know stealing during a time of happiness and life is rude". She said, keeping her hand lightly on the boy, so he could move from her grasp or stay where he was. "If you want, I can help you return what you have stolen... And if you are hard pressed for money I can get you some food." Yuki added the last part mostly as a second thought. She really didn't care about the villagers stolen goods, or if he would accept her offer of food. She only cared that the boy not feel threatened and that maybe she could get him to do the right thing. Oh and of course she cared that she got Ryouta approval, seeing as he was her closet friend, at least in her mind. 11:37, April 19, 2016 12:01, April 19, 2016
 * TheSilverPoet <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">The boy felt a hand on His shoulder from shock He attempted to grab The wrist being afraid as ikime was only a young Kid alone and most didnt pay attention to him. as He then saw a girl that softly spoke to him. The words made Him almost cry he ran closer towards the girl hugging her and dropping the Coins on the ground. "thank you, T...hank you Miss. I.I had no choii..i.ce I need to eat and have no one and nothing to get the coins from..." His cheeks red from blushing of the generous offer. holding the girl tightly if she would allow him but atleast He tried.
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">“Ehh?!..No fair!” The exasperated cry from a young girl cut the night sky in two. Her annoyed brown eyes locked onto confident ones that lacked much pigment at all. There was a flash light in the child’s hands and it’s cast it’s glow over the other’s bold form. The sensation of glee met her once again when that other child whom’s name she did not remember displayed a clear expression similar to pout. Of course she’d seen it nearly ten times now because the result of the little game of ‘hide and seek in the dark’ they’d been playing ended up the same every time. “..I’m going back to the festival!!” Aki watched her opponent stomp her tiny feet all over the soil in a fit of anger and she couldn’t stop herself from letting out a boisterous laugh. “ No way! You’re just a sore loser!! C’mon let’s play again!” “Nah uh!” This time it looked like she wasn’t giving in and behind her the boy that’d chosen to tag along was also experiencing the same feelings. “You are just a show off! You play in the dark to prove how good you are at it!” Their whining was getting to be annoying, like two pups upset about losing a bone to a bigger dog. Geesh it was like Miki was a baby again! Speaking of the devil, it’s form caught the notice of the two children underneath the Inuzuka’s jacket that’d been sealed to keep back a light chill the night was offering. All too quickly a small head the size of a kick ball black with indentations of white and quite abundant in fluff emerged near it’s neckline. This was normal for children of her kind to keep their companions close to them and in most cases under the confinement of their clothing so it was nothing new and Aki didn’t seem at all perturbed. Miki’s beady blue eyes leered out at them sizing them up and the pound of fur was entirely unimpressed. She made her emotions known by unleashing a sharp bark high pitched and firm. “Yap!” “Hahaha!..Yea Miki!..The only reason I’m so good at this is cause you two stink!” That was the last straw for her playmates and without another word they stormed off back to where their parents were tending shops or stands. “Kehh…that’s so lame. Oh well..it wasn’t gonna last long. Never does.” Her pale hands brushed the twigs and leaves from her pants and began to remove the same from her locks of scarlet red hair. It’s hue nearly matched her customary markings that decorated all cheeks of the Inuzuka. “Yap! Yap!” Tucked safely in Aki’s collar, Miki continued to speak her tiny little mind to which her partner responded. She was able to understand everything that the ninken said as well as other canines as that was one of the many unique traits exclusive to her clan. “Maybe the festival won’t be as boring. Yea we can get you an apple.” With that the two headed through the woodland towards the colors and the lights and the energetic atmosphere.

She jogged past a whimpering child and a woman who seemed to be catering to his needs. There was a lot of that in Konoha as of late. Children who lost their parents and can’t properly care for themselves. She bit heavily into the apple and allowed Miki to do the same.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Everything was actually getting pretty quiet. What the heck was that guy doing shouting all of the stuff he was? As the duo passed by a market stand open for business and snatched a shiny red apple while at the same time leaving a coin or two. The first bite went to a drooling Miki and she followed up with the second just a few inches above where her pup sank it’s teeth in. Oh well..this was interesting at least. Casually, Miki kicked off the ground so that she could avoid the crowd and make her way closer for a better view. Granted thus far she’d been absent from the festivities..not her thing especially sprucing up and looking ‘nice’ so anything going on now to her was super confusing but entertaining none the less.

 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt;margin-top:0px!important;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt;">“You dare assume having the right to become Hokage?”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt;">As he stared off in the distance, Ikeru spoke softly while addressing kinshi, speaking with such immense distaste that everyone within earshot fell quiet; a silence that soon spread over most of the crowd.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt;">“When you’ve yet to prove yourself worthy? You dare make such a claim?”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt;">His voice now grew louder as he arose from his seat and towered high above the two Jounin.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt;">“And you, son of Godric, dare say you’ll claim my blood to become next in line?”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt;">Crossing his muscled arms, the Hokage shook his head with such an easily readable sense of disappointment that even those uninvolved felt guilty.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt;">“It seems I do not have the daughter I thought I had. And that the Son I wished for has a great amount of growing up to do. I saw such great futures, but now I see possibilities that are quenched by arrogance and aspirations. Kinshi, it seems my name has spoiled you. You are hereby disowned and no longer part of the Senju clan until you redeemed yourself. Keldran… you’re a century too young to speak with such tongue and millennia too young to make true your claims. You have brought shame onto your clan and father, great shame, and for this there will be a price you will have to pay in the near future or it’ll be your father and clan who are to suffer more dishonor than you have already delivered to their doorstep. Come to my office first thing tomorrow morning.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt;">A member of the ANBU appeared beside Keldren, and another beside Kinshin. These masked men didn’t come forth just to ensure that the two hot-headed Jounin would leave, but to ensure they wouldn’t be roasted to a crisp as the anger of Ikeru had been sparked and the man was for from pleased at the display of dishonor on a day such as this. The ANBU would accompany Keldran and Kinshin away from the line of people, however, without giving them a chance to speak back to the Hokage.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt;">Then the Wildfire Emperor merely sat down again at which the silence lifted and the festival proceeded as it had before. A quick word was exchanged with the Daimyo who also looked most displeased, whispering something about; “Such a shame that they never heard about the opportunity of a lifetime you were going to offer them, Red.”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt;">Ikeru nodded, but didn’t say anything in return as he waited for the next person in line to approach while thinking about his late wife and what she’d say to him. Being the emotional type, he’d assume her to surely disagree with his battlefield sternness. But he saw no other way. In his day, both Keldran and Kinshi would have been executed on the spot. However, the Hokage knew that those two carried the fate of the village on their shoulders. He wished they could see what he saw, and hoped that the harsh lesson would set in motion a chain of change that’d allow them to become what they dreamed of becoming, and even more.

 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Silently from the top of the Hokage's office, the Hyuga daughter would watch the scene from below. Her fingers were brought to her lips in a silent gasp. Not even her brother was crazy enough to do something like that to their father for Clan head. For the moment, she had stopped stroking though B's hair and just watched silently as two people she had come to know were escorted away from the Man of Wildfire.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She had turned to watch her peers walk from him and bit at her bottom lip. Softly, she whispered to herself how the whole thing was wrong. She didn't have to hear it to see the lips that moved and the stern faces that were being given to them all. "Honor is such a delicate thing. So easily is it broken yet it takes so much to earn." Her pearlesk eyes looked to the passed out gent in her lap while she continued to stroke through his crimson strands. 22:45, April 21, 2016
 * KumikoKyoko <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Her fingers flew across the pages, as the pencil sketched and fingers smudged. Her caramel brown eyes glanced up only on occassion, as her hand would drop for her cleaning clothe. She'd clean her fingers off, dry them gently and then get back to work. The pages filled with the scenes before her, as small notes appeared beside the images. Slowly but surely the images bloomed, and the notes filled the pages. Everything that she could see was noted, sketched, and designed. She would show them at the right time. Though she wanted to have a chance like others would.

With a deep breath the young woman carefully used one of her smaller knives to slice a few pages off. Just a few ones, the Daimyo - The Hokage, and the Golden Phoenixes. She released that long held breath, one she didn't understand. She gathered what little courage beat in her chest, she straightened her back and started to make her way through the crowd. She moved quietly, even in the garments she wore, she owed that to the training that she had undergone in the last 18 months. Though the woman could not see it,she had made marked improvement in that time. Those that had known her from before, were still surprised at the sort of Lady like mannerisms and calm that seemed to come from her more and more each passing day.

Despite the fire in her soul, that her eyes could not hide, she still kept that sweet calm demeanor around her. She approached those waiting to see the Hokage and the others of importance. She carefully tucked her pencils away, hide her cleaning cloth in her top, and tucked away the note book the images had come from. Her mother, when she had shown love to Kumiko before, had always told her that if you were approaching someone of importance at an event like this - one should never come empty handed to someone of import. A gift of any sort, even as small as a flower from a child, could hold meaning.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">All she wanted was a chance to meet these men, and speak her humblest thanks to them. That was all she needed at the moment, all she wished. So she waited patiently, the images held between her hands, and her eyes focusing intently on the scene that had unfolded. She wasn't going to shy away, but she was going to watch and wait. Patience was a virtue she learned a long time ago, and she would gladly wait for her chance to meet them. 23:22, April 21, 2016
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Yuki patted the child's head, then went completely still. "Ikime? Is that you?" She hadn't recognized the boy she had spared once before, until he spoke. Hearing  he had no one Yuki remembered him mentioning a father and her saying he was smart. Realizing he was talking about someone who had passed she mentally face palmed herself. Gently she untangled the boys arms from around her waist and held him at arms length. Thinking a moment she took her money bag out from the fold of her kimono, and handed him enough to get him a meal. As she was about to pick his dis-guarded money pouch up and help him return the stolen coins, she heard the booming and commanding of the hokage. Listening her golden eyes widened and the pouch was forgotten.

"I have a spar room, if you ever need a place to crash, and there is always food available, if you need. Here is a small map to my place." The girl said quickly her eyes looking off in to the distance before she pulled a wrapper off the ground and bit her finger, using the blood to make a quick map. After that she patted the males head then turned to leave. "I have to go check on a friend, See you around."And with that she was gone. With in moments she was beside Ryouta, crouching and hoping to go unnoticed by anyone but the male. Tapping his leg she whispered, "What happened?"

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She had come to the roof just as the two jonin were taken away by Anbu, and was worried for their safety, but since she didn't know what had happened she wasn't sure if she should be worried. Looking up at the boy with her golden orbs she waited for his answer, or dismissal to her question. 03:31, April 22, 2016
 * TheSilverPoet <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">The young shinobi was shocked when He heard his name from the girl he was hugging.Then He remembered No body knew him except this girl He looked close at her face to reconize her but she looked so different in her Kimono. Then He heard her voice saying He would have a place to crash in her place. Suprised He looked up at her and she gave him some coins for food. Looking strangely with a side tilted head at the girl He asked."Why are you doing this?, Why are you being so nice to Me?"He then took the money she gave him after she answered him to his questions and ran off towards the Nearest Ramen shop ordering 2 of the biggest bowls of Ramen. But The shopowner Reckonized the young shinobe and said" How about you first pay for The old bowles you still owe Me 25 coins."The young shinobi looked at his pouch looking in it only the 25 coins yuki gave him.He gave the money to the shopowner and walked off starving from hunger. He looked at the little map cold and alone in the side streets of Konoha. He sat down at the river that flew through it Looking at the fish."Why does everybody feed you but only a few care about the children that are starving. Why do I need to steal to get my food and you guys just wait for it to happen."The young shinobi always had these deep inside thoughts but they never showed through his happy mask always joking around so people would notice him. Sadly He was pathetic in his own mind. To stuborn to think someone would actually be nice to him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">He found an apple tree and decided to take three of them to atleast fill his belly alittle.But just as he tried to take a bite a group of abandoned kids walked by seeing how skinny and cold they where Ikime took his vest of trying to make a blanket for all three orphans then He handed them the apples. Seeing them smile and  enjoying the food Ikime felt warm and fuzzy inside. All Three orphans hugged him and found shelter in a cave nearby. He walked towards the big house the map pointed to sitting on the sidewalk waiting cold alone and Hungry for the Girl to retrieve to her home. 10:25, April 22, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">The child stood frightened and confused, having landed between the pair that now received a harsh punishment delivered with harsher words, his golden eyes widening at the sight of the furious Hokage, before Ryouta fell upon a knee and his head lowered in a mixture of reverence and fear. The shocking revelation of Kinshi's punishment brought the child to gaze upwards towards the female, turning away in hopes the Hokage hadn't noticed Ryouta's sympathy. As the pair of Jounin were escorted from the square, the child arose to his feet only to arch forward in a bow toward the frightening being before he spoke in as polite a manner a frightened child could muster

"Lord Hokage" the only 2 words before the child retreated toward a nearby rooftop, gripping at his chest whilst panting heavily, shaking his head furiously and swallowing the saliva caught in the midst of his throat. He returns to reality as a gentle tap finds its place atop the boy's lap, eliciting the boy to snap his head toward the individual responsible, only for his eyes to meet with the familiar sight of long brown hair, the child faces back towards the square and after taking a deep breath the child finds himself recomposed and adjusted. Ryouta stands upright now, sliding his hands into their respective pockets of his jacket before shrugging slightly.

"The Hokage handled it. Kinshi was disowned and I don't know what will happen to Keldran. He was really mean, I don't know why he was being so mean." Ryouta said with his teeth buried into his lower lip and his eyes squinting, his thumb brushing along his fingers before turning to face the female accompanying him with a smile.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">"How'd it go with the thief? You beat him up?" The child inquired, intending to distract himself from the sight of the terrifying head of Konohagakure. 'If there are people like him out there, I must become stronger' Ryouta had thought to himself, ensuring to train for whatever lay waiting. Whether foe or ally, it was clear then and there that mercy was a vague ideal. 20:40, April 22, 2016
 * Littleteddybearlilly <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">the young Inuzuka walked around the festival amazed by all the sights, sounds and lights around her, her little huskey puppy youko was sitting in the fur coverd hood of her jacket with her front paws on Lilly's shoulders barking somethimes when she saw food. The young girl laughs at the hungry pup on her shoulder she decided that it was getting late and they should get some food,"what do you wanto eat youko ? i feel like getting some sushi or ramen with chicken" the puppy barked a few times at the now also hungry girl as she smiles giving a nod to the pup before dashing off towards there favorite ramenshop while answering her pup"ramen it is then". she ran with a big smile as she turned a corner she slows down right in time and walks in the shop giving the shopkeeper a smile before ordering" 1 bowl of chicken ramen and 1 bowl of beef ramen please" the pup gives a happy bark hearing beaf ramen that was her favorite, the shopkeeper was making the ramen as they started talking with eachother. "how have you been Lilly? i havent seen you in 4 days that is a long time for you" the shopkeeper asked. "i was with Marian and the pups most of the time lately and visited mom and the clan for 2 days" the young girl answerd smiling. the shopkeeper answered one last time before presenting the yummy hot steaming bowls infront of them."well give my regards to your mother and marian next time", she already had some ramen in her mouth as she answered "i will". the pup jumping on the counter to eat from her beef ramen bowl. after 15 minutes they were finished and payd the shopkeeper giving a final goodbye before leaving to walk around on the festival again the sky now red purplish of color as the sun had just dissepeared taking the warm light with it and bringing a comfortble darkness and star filled nightsky but this time she wasnt looking up the little lights of the festival were beautifull giving it a fairytale look, she wanders around playng games and checking things out before walking with a wishlight towards the river sitting down on her knees infront of the river she wrote her name on the wishlight. the young pup licks the girls cheek to cheer her up and gives a soft whine as the girl answers" i know youko i just wish i could have met them, i wanto know who they are and where i came from" she places the light in the river and watches it being carried away, after a few minutes she starts walking trough the festival to her appartment only hearing some peaple talk about a pickpocket stealing boy, but who cares everyone has reasons she tought making her way home petting the already sleeping pup.
