Insert Cool Title

[Hakujuo Ikari]

The snow falls into Hakujuo Ikari's hair as she wanders through the streets of Yuki. Usually she would stay away from any village but she needed to sell a few trinkets. She had picked these off a group of ninja who thought she was a helpless woman strolling down the road at night. Yuki had seemed far enough away from the major villages to not attract attention. Plus the snow was beautiful, even though is was white and not red.

Many salespeople tried to push their wares at the various people walking down main street. But Ikari would need a specific kind of shop to make sure a lot of questions wouldn't be asked. She found one nestled in a back alley that looked shady enough to suit her needs. Walking in there were different types of bones hanging on the ceilings and different objects in various jars. The shop owner looked up and smiled with sharp teeth and a patch over his right eye.

"What brings such a clean young lady into this part of Yuki?" The shop owner sized Ikari up like she was something to sell or eat while looking to her sides at the katanas that hung loosely. "I need a few items out of my hands without many questions being asked." Ikari reaches to the stolen pack from the shinobi and began to lay various daggers, jewelry, and other items from the bag onto the counter. "Well you definitely are at the right place."

After bargaining for a good price Ikari left with a lot of money and a promise if she found more of those daggers to return there. She walked down the main street window shopping, and wondering if she needed to restock on some of her weapons. Ikari tenses when she feels a high chakra level behind her.

Notes: Sorry if it's short.

The village hidden in the snow. Kisuke's travels brought him here as well. His search for members of Wandariku had him going everywhere in this shinobi world and Yukigakure was one of these places. The right notion would be to find someone with the chakra nature of ice in this village, however Kisuke was searching for missing nin so of course that wouldn't be the case. The village was actually teeming with merchants. Everyone wanted to sell something. Kisuke, who wore a suit and looked rich, was of course bombarded with salesmen. They tried to sell him anything and everything. From weapons of various sorts, to clothes, to food... it was all there. But Kisuke had no money of course. He had forgotten to take any when he left home... or rather left it all to his parents. That's why he also needed to find someone to fund his plans. Making a village is going to be expensive. Not only would he need funds, the mercenary work of his group should bring in revenue as well. Money truly made the world go round. He could always try to pickpocket. But that would seem a little low for him. Then again, he's already an s - ranked missing nin so it shouldn't matter much. But he wasn't down for petty crimes just yet. He looked around, noticing the people and the vendors. Maybe there was something nice he could buy. A japanese sword would be nice. Kisuke was a fan of japanese swords, owning a katana and wakasashi himself. Up ahead he saw a young lady, looking around his age. Or so he would guess. It was always a little hard to place an age on lady, mostly for safety reasons as Kisuke had learned through his life. She had a fiery head of red hair and looked beautiful in her red kimono. But what had struck out was the two katanas behind her. Beautiful and japanese swords, perfect trigger for Kisuke. He smoothed his way towards her, appearing in front of her suddenly and resting his right arm on the store next to her, smiling charmingly. "Why hello there. My name is Akuchi Kisuke, and you are?" Why does he keep giving his name away? Doesn't he know he's a wanted man? [/style]

[Hakujuo Ikari]

"Why hello there. My name is Akuchi Kisuke, and you are?"

Who is this man? He seems important from the way he is dressed and how he carries himself. Ikari starts to think of all the people surrounding her and how much attention it would cause to hit him. He must be after the bounty Suna has out on her. Leaving the ANBU is almost the lowest you can sink in a village's eyes. But why out in the middle of town? Is this man that sure he can take her down?

Maybe he is just a stranger who believes she is a pleasant young lady. Oh how wrong he is, the only problem is that from the way he is leaning he can see the mask on her hip. It would attract attention for her to run or draw her blades. He doesn't look to harmful. But that chakra, it doesn't seem right in Yuki to meet someone with this kind of feel.

"My name is Hakujuo Ikari, it's nice to meet you."

She needed to get out of the village soon. She usually got spotted if she stayed around for a long period. But she might as well be pleasant. If there were two important things her old life taught her one is that respect is needed, but trust is earned. The second one is that trust when earned will always be broken.

There are two types of people in the world to her. There are kings and knights. Kings pretend to love their queen while fulfilling their own desires. While knights pledge loyalty then go to their own devices. She wonders which one this new person is, but it doesn't matter she doesn't have time before she is found.

"I'm sorry but I'm in a hurry."

Note: I will add more to this if needed I have to go to class.

His observant eyes noticed the anbu mask immediatly. It wasn't a Yuki anbu mask, it was for Sunagakure. But an ANBU wouldn't be at an another village unless it was for duty... and especially not to just shop. Kisuke theorized she was a missing ninja and carried around the ANBU mask as a keepsake from her village, like many nukenin still wear their village headbands. So she was an ex-ANBU just as Kisuke was. Of course, that wasn't proven... yet. "My name is Hakujuo Ikari..." Hakujuo Ikari. He remembered her name from somewhere. She was an A-ranked missing shinobi from Sunagakure, the village hidden in the sand. Kisuke easily acquired information, but her name was in the bingo book. She had killed her fellow ANBU from the same team. Truly a traitorous act. She was a perfect addition to wandariku. A strong A rank shinobi with a past as an ANBU. Her loyalty was a little in question though. Would she betray Wandariku? No, she won't. He knew. "I'm sorry but I'm in a hurry." She was about to leave, but Kisuke wasn't done with her yet. He had found an interesting person and wasn't going to lose her just yet. Maybe it was time to put a bit of pressure on her and test her out. He followed behind her as she walked. Wherever she went, he followed promptly close behind. He waited until they were more alone until he walked right beside her and whispered something to her. "I know who you are... Hakujuo Ikari... A ranked missing nin from Sunagakure. I've come for your bounty!" He spins, tripping her with a sneak attack and then kicking her away. He gets into a fighting stance, and awaits her to make the next move. [/style]

[Hakujuo Ikari]

Ikari started walking again, hoping to loose her new friend. But as she continued through the marketplace she always could catch him out of the corner of her eye. Thinking she can loose him she begins to serpentine through shops hoping that the crowd can trip him up. Though still he is always right there. So she begins to head to the field outside of the village.

Ikari begins to believe that he was just going the same way as her until she stands in the center of the field. Then she sees him leisurely stroll into the same field. He begins to approach her and she readies herself but then he catches her off guard.

"I know who you are... Hakujuo Ikari... A ranked missing nin from Sunagakure. I've come for your bounty!"

Ikari doesn't know if it was what he said or the fact he came up and whispered in her ear. But one of those through her off long enough for him to trip her up then kick her away. She is disgusted that as an ex ANBU she allowed this to happen but soon sees his fighting stance and gets into her own

"If it's blood you want then let it pour."

She slides both blades from their sheaths and feels their weight in each hand. She won't admit she has missed the feel of the grips and the way the weight feels like it was meant for her. These are the same blades that killed the Knight and if Ikari has her way they will kill this man as well.

He didn't want to kill her but he was quite impressed by her sudden will to fight. She'll be perfect for his group if her battle skills compliment her rank. Kisuke pulled out a scroll and threw it at her; the scroll opening as it flew through the air. However, Kisuke moved faster than the scroll did, reaching it before it hit her, activating the seal upon the scroll. A puff of smoke fills the area around it and Hito pulls out a pure black japanese katana. Speed. Kisuke's skill in speed was amazing. Plus his kenjutsu skills? Well that just makes him a powerful samurai. As he dashed towards Ikari, sword in hand, the world around him blurred into oblivion, his speed bringing him to his own speed world. Before Ikari could hit him or before he got to close to her, Kisuke erupted into a murder of crows. The crows sped towards Ikari, blinding her and hitting her with their talons and fluttering wings before reassembling into Kisuke, behind her. His sword rested right infront of the red head's neck as Kisuke stood behind her, too close for comfort. She could feel his deep gaze upon her, his breath upon her neck. It must have been a creepy feeling, but he needed to make sure whatever he was going to say next would not be heard by any. Kisuke could have used the temporary paralysis technique on her, but he wanted her to squirm and find fear in him... or rather, he wanted her to react and escape and fight back. He was about to recruit her into his team but he still needed to test her abilities. " Hakujuo Ikari... A ranked missing shinobi from Sunagakure... killed her fellow ANBU teammates. Interesting, huh?" He watched her every movements that he could see. His body was so close so he could feel if she moved in the slightest and then react to it and keep her locked in place. She wasn't going to escape as easily as she would think. A slight flick of his wrist would sever her head with his blade. He wasn't done with the conversation however. The risky part about this was that he had to reveal his name and reveal that he was an S-ranked criminal while also revealing his plot. Of course, if they didn't join, he would kill them. Simple as that. "My name is Akuchi Kisuke. I am an S-ranked Missing Shinobi and an ex ANBU from Konohagakure. I am on a search to find powerful shinobi and recruit them into my group. I would like for you to join." [/style]

[Hakujuo Ikari]

The scroll was new, most after that bounty didn't use tactics. They thought Ikari was weak so they just attacked head on. But the largest surprise was that this Kisuke moved faster than the scroll. The seal was activated while in the air. But it was hard to focus on that when he pulls his katana. Pure black, they way he held it she was almost sure she was in trouble.

He was to fast, way to fast she couldn't keep up with him so the only thing left to do was try to keep a position. But even that was difficult, Ikari didn't know what she was dealing with. But if he wanted the bounty he would have to kill her. Because for her crimes, Suna didn't want her in alive. But it didn't seem that way. Something about this fight wasn't right, and right now Ikari didn't have the time to figure anything out.

Birds, Ikari hates birds, doves were the Knight's specialty but still all birds just make her remember. These birds kept scratching, clawing and pecking until Ikari couldn't see a foot in front of her. Then she realized it was to late to see or think because that black blade was cold and pressed to her neck like a sharp necklace and one wrong move would end it.

Kisuke was to close, Ikari isn't fond of physical contact on a normal day. But especially not when the person so close was going to slit her throat. This man was creepy, and not in the good way if there is one. In the I could kill you but this is fun way. Ikari could feel his gaze just like she could feel the blade. Ikari tries to move but then she realizes she is stuck.

" Hakujuo Ikari... A ranked missing shinobi from Sunagakure... killed her fellow ANBU teammates. Interesting, huh?"

Why is it that when a bounty is placed, Suna can't say why she killed that traitor. They know of course, but they are so mad that Ikari took things in her own hands they just had to make her look like the bad guy. She couldn't move, and he knew it. She was looking for the best escape root but so far it looked as though her life was about to end. At least she may could take this man with her.

"My name is Akuchi Kisuke. I am an S-ranked Missing Shinobi and an ex ANBU from Konohagakure. I am on a search to find powerful shinobi and recruit them into my group. I would like for you to join."

All of Ikari's movement ceased to a complete stand still. She found she had to make herself breathe. Not about the offer but the fact that he was an S-ranked. No wonder it was hard to keep up, and what did he do to get that? This could be a problem if she refused. But it sounded interesting, being in a group. She could find more money, and maybe kill a few more from that clan that caused most of that with her team. Plus, she had met her match in fighting, she wanted to see if one day she could beat him.

"I have a feeling if I don't, my life would end here. But, I don't like people, and if you call that traitor my "fellow ANBU" one more time you are going to find me angry. A S-ranked should know the villages keep secrets."

Her instinct to run and flee completely stopped upon hearing his words. And then there was acceptance. But Kisuke didn't want that. No, let me explain. Yes, he wanted the A ranked missing shinobi to join his group, however he also wanted a little excitement. Her accepting so easy was no fun at all. Maybe a little fight would do. "Oh? Secrets, huh? Well why don't we have a little bet. I'm sure you're wondering about who exactly I am. I will tell you... if you beat me in a fight. If I win, however, you will tell me your story and join my group. Don't wanna participate? Then I'll kill you." He gripped his sword and swerved it around her neck, without touching her with it. As he did so, his body turned and his left foot came in between her feet, jerking and tripping her while he flipped back. He stood up straight and sheathed his blade, getting into a taijutsu stance. It seemed like he was underestimating her and thought he could take her on without a sword. But no. He was not certain of that. He just did this as a form of fun... and of course training. To be a leader of a group of strong shinobi, one needed to keep himself strong. Kisuke trained everyday. His wandering around kept his physical body up to peak. He also trained intensely whenever he could, especially at night before he slept. As traditional as the method could be, he also wore weights under his clothes. Kisuke's body was in constant training and he constantly grew stronger. But he needed to become much stronger. Fighting was also another form of training. Learning the ways a shinobi fights, the techniques they use, countering them - it was all part of training. Kisuke was a skilled shinobi, but like anyone else, there was much room for improvement. "The God of Shinobi" a title the sandaime hokage and the mythical Sage of the Six Paths held, a title Kisuke wanted to earn. Money, power, population, and a strong mind is what was needed to build his own village. But back at the battle at hand. "If you can survive my taijutsu assault, I'll change over to ninjutsu. I need practice in that too, you know. Here I come." Kisuke dashed at her at an alarming speed. His body being only a green blur from his green suit. His speed creating a razor sharp wind around himself, that cuts the grass around him as well. As he get's closer, he jumped up, creating a crater on the ground where he once was. Spinning in the air, Kisuke flows chakra through his fists. He would come straight down in front of her, punching the ground and instantly releasing the chakra... completely destroying the ground. Although he would not hit her directly, the crushed ground would rise up and throw her off balance in which he could attack her again, but instead he just jumped back, instantly creating a clone and using the substitution jutsu to transfer himself for his clone. The debris and dust from his previous attack would cover this substitution, making it seem like the Kisuke now in front of her is the real one. The real one had used henge jutsu and blended in with the crowd now surrounding the area where the two fought. They watched in awe for shinobis were few. However soon, the Yuki shinobis would arrive and the two fighting shinobis being missing nins, they will be attacked and hunted. [/style]

[Hakujuo Ikari]

Ikari let her gaurd drop hoping he would think she was weak. There's not gonna be an easy way to beat him, but she doesn't wanna tell him her story. But still she might die here and now if she doesn't play smart. If he lets go this Kisuke fellow is going to learn that if a missing ANBU is good at one thing, it's disappearing.

Ikari let herself be tripped it would be the easiest way away from him. She almost feels insulted when he sheathes his blades but that makes this easier. She has to play this safe, injure him and then run. No one will ever get close to her again. Her heart has become a frozen wasteland and that's how it will stay.

He moves with confidence that makes Ikari uneasy. She knows he's dangerous and to attractive for his own good, he probably has everything handed to him. Well not this time, no one is going to use Ikari ever again. Maybe if he stays far enough away this will be easier than she originally thought. But of course nothing has ever been easy for Ikari.

To be free, to not have to remember her "friends" every waking moment. To not see a couple and think of the King who led her on. Or the Knight who betrayed her trust and ran to the enemy. Was that to much to ask for? To have freedom and her own path, to do anything she thought was justified. This is what Ikari wants, she never has to be happy or love again, but she will be free.

That speed again, that is definitely going to cause a problem. To leave a crater in the ground means if he lands to close it could be her who is a crater. When he landed he hit the ground throwing her off balance. Then the smoke rose and blinded Ikari, but she could still make out his outline. When the smoke cleared she had no time to think, it was now or never.

She jumped and rounded her kick to his face, but before connecting she disappeared into rose petals that now swirled around Kisuke causing minor cuts when he tried to move. The crowd around them was getting to big to fast and she had to go. So while everyone was distracted by her little rose whirlwind, Ikari quickly dashed into the woods at the edge of the clearing. When she got to the edge she shouted over her shoulder before walking in.

"See you around, look me up if you don't get caught."

Note: Did I do the fighting thing right?
