Welcome to Gaia! ::

After fallowing Rin to the housing district I thank her and head through the streets looking for a place to stay. Shifting my pack from one sholder to the other I examained the hotel I stood infront of. It wasn't bad, not one of the rundown places that looked like if you steped on the second floor you would fall right through to the first. Yet it didn't have a very uptight cleanness and freshness that made you feel like you can't do anything rude or out of place. It was just nice. A little above the average inn in this place. Smiling to myself I walk in through the white and silver doors to find tile flooring on the inside with a white dominate color and a yellow secondary color. I walk up to the reseption desk and ask the lady behind the counter if I could rent a room for a while. After I paid and she handed me my key I walk up to the second floor to find it had white and red color design. I look at the room number I had to find that I was on the third, top, level. So I go back to the stair case and walk up to the top. I walk down the hall looking for my room among the white walls with blue doors. I finally find my room, get it open, and look around me. It was nice with a bed and window facing the middle of the village, where the mizukage's office is, and a personal bathroom. I set my stuff down and go to the window. It was just above the roof to the floor below me. The roof wasn't at a large slant so I went to my pack, grabed my book, and went out onto the roof to read as the sun started setting, listening to the sounds of the village settling down

as the sounds of the village came alive and started ringing in my ears I lifted my head up. Apperently I had fallen asleep reading again. I thought to myself as I gathered my things and went back into my room. I started rumaging through my things untill I found it. I hadn't wanted to lose it so I put it in my bags insted of wearing it like I usually do. I held it up to the light. the complex silver loops woven to make the chain caught the light and threw it in various places around the room. I took the chain and looped it around my waist and under my head band like a belt. I then grab my weapon pouches and looked through them to make sure that I had everything. I put them and my cloak on and went out the door and then down the stairs. I had a bite to eat and went outside for a walk

book in hand I walk down the road looking for a place to read. I wonder to myself as I walk around a bend. I walk down the road a little farther then take a turn and find myself facing a dead end. After retracing my steps I walk down a diferent road, only to find myself back at the same dead end. I think to myself as I turn a corner and walk down a diferent road. I decide that I might as well get in a few pages while I wander aimlessly around. So I open my book and start reading. Staying nere the wall on the right and only looking up from my book when I make a left turn I search for my destination. When a shadow caught my eye I looked up and found Rin waving at me. I with a big smile I waved back at her, happy to find someone I knew. Calling up to her I ask, "Hey Rin, would you happen to know how to get to the great naruto bridge? I'm kind of lost and I kind of don't know where to go" I say embarassed. I thought as I waited for Rin to answer

After everything was placed away in her modest dwelling, Rin found herself cross-legged in front of her weapon arsonal. There were swords of all type scattered around her as she made sure there were no traces of oil left from training. As her calloused hands glided over the metallic surface, she was faintly aware of a strange electrical sensation that came from under her fingertips. The kunoichi promptly ignored it as she always did and carelessly tossed the two blades into the surrounding ones. Out of the cluttered mess, she randomly picked up another sword around half her height. It curved upwards with a jagged edge similar to that of a saw. "I really should find a way to make this place less...hazardous." Smiling lightly to herself, she pushed a few of the scattered weapons away and fell onto her back. The blade in her hand was held loosely while she stared blankly at the ceiling.

Tor smiled and glanced back, he was half way down the road, headed in the direction of the training grounds. He had left Mitana's blade resting against the frame of her front door. He turned back to where he was heading and kept walking.

Rin yawned tiredly, having dozed off a while ago. Even after a short nap, she felt much more energized and ready for training some more. She picked herself up from the ground and sprung over to her room to change back into her training gear. Then she went through the slightly time consuming task of arming herslf again with a variety of baisic weapons hidden throughout her body. Once she was finished, she paused briefly before heading towards her kitchen instead of the balcony. I should have something to eat before I leave.

The kettle rested upon the stove, heating up at a steady pace. An instant ramen cup sat beside it on the counter while Rin chose her weapons. She eventually decided on a smooth curved blade similar to a scimitar which replaced the rapier-like sword that had been there. The second was a twin of the first and hung on her other side. At the high-pitched sound of the boiling water, the kunoichi re-entered the small room and poured the liquid with a steady hand. After stirring the contents for a while, she began eating slowly.

Whoever was on the other side of the door sounded strangely familiar. Rin set down the half-empty bowl and bounded over to the door. "Eh? What are you doing here Shane-san?" An eyebrow rose upon opening the door and discovering that it was her teammate. She stepped out of her apartment and closed the door after her. Questions flashed through her head more quickly than she could ask any of them. It dawned on her that Kyute must have mentioned where she lived. The matter on how he found exactly where she lived was pushed to the side. She figured that there was a reason for this sudden unexpected visit. I was about to leave anyway, might as well see what he wants to talk about.
