Samuru caught the flask and almost crushed it by accident, not listening to what she was saying. When it finally reached him, he seemed to visibly relax, unscrewing the top of the flask "I'd prefer monster to hero..." he said softly, taking a good sip of the drink. It was a bit strong for him but he swallowed regardless, watching Kinpaku. The sight of the headband....Samuru didn't take it, looking away for a moment "I can handle this beast." he retorted, appearing slightly irked. No, he didn't like the demon, yet, but "Besides...having it is in line with my goals. I don't like that it was forced upon me but its power is something I can use." he again didn't look at the headband, instead motioning back to where the two from earlier had left. The girl "As I told some of your shinobi, I have no intention of being friends or comrades with any of them, which seemed to upset some of them. Accepting that," and now he finally did look at the headband, handing the drink back to Kinpaku "won't require me to be any of the sort, yes?" he asked.

The young man didn't quite understand the value of oni made sake. It was her own creation, and she knew she'd likely finish off the drink in time. She couldn't help but want to smile when Samuru spoke of his preference for something to be detested than praised. What kind of childhood would do that to a person? "I suppose I can get the solo work for you," Kin answered with a shake of her head. "Then don't be a comrade, or even a friend. An ally is all I'll ask of you. One that won't betray us, I do hope." There was a track record, but she hoped his defense of the village would highlight how she would hope he'd work to build toward a brighter future.
[This will never be the last.] [But it will only be the once.]
Samuru nodded, putting the flask down on the desk "Solo work is fine. I can work with a single person if its required but I'd prefer not to." he straightened back up. Just an ally.....he could do that "Betrayal goes both ways. I'll keep my ends if you keep yours." he replied easily, perhaps illuminating a bit of what might have driven him from his home. Now for the rest of it....he picked up the headband, slightly wearily, and held it "Is there some way I can learn to control this thing?" he asked, looking around for a place to sit. He was feeling the sake now, it really was stronger than he'd expected, and it made him slightly light headed.

It was a relief to know that the young man was fine if he'd work with someone. Not many. Not a full team. Simply a pair. Samuru maintained that the two of them would be fine, so long as she held up her end of the bargain, he would hold up his end. That was absolutely fair. Kin looked up from her place behind the desk, and nodded briefly. "I suppose there is the possibility, it's another thing we're looking into," she explained briefly, "As I'm not the primary sealer, it's a bit more complicated to work with. I've been attempting to get away to study since the whole chaos ensued with the beast." It was nigh impossible to study while at the office. She had plenty to do inside, but more was needed of her outside, after all.
[This will never be the last.] [But it will only be the once.]
Nodding slowly to her reply, Samuru didn't say anything for a while, simply allowing the information to sink in. Right now, they didn't have anything to help him with this demon, to help him channel and control it.."I need a place to live." he said, his tone suddenly a lot quieter. He didn't look like the cocky, annoying jounin from before but rather....just a young man without a home. He hadn't felt quite this alone in a long time and he didn't like it. Samuru was used to being alone, preferred it....but at this moment, he didn't want to be out in the open. Openly alone. He shifted, eager to get away now, to get somewhere that didn't have eyes.

The silence was tense, while she looked upon the young man. He spoke of a place to live, and she smiled up at him. He was going to make himself at home it seemed. That was good news. She looked over the young man and smiled. "There'll be an apartment on the third floor. I don't stay there anymore," Kinpaku spoke. She kept the apartment paid for, but she dared not to enter anymore. Hakkin was gone, and she couldn't bear to know where they were going to be a family again. From her desk, she fished the keys to this apartment, tossing it to the young man. "Consider that a gift, Samuru. For all you've done for me and us."
[This will never be the last.] [But it will only be the once.]
Catching the keys, Samuru gave a short bow "Thank you...." he straightened but...didn't leave? Looking at Kinpaku, he wondered why she didn't stay at her own apartment...and wondered why he was wondering. He had promised not to care..."I...Thank you." he shut that door on his emotions as firmly as possible. Bowing again, he turned and left the office, taking his cases with him as he left the building.

An armored apparition appeared in the office with a bow as it spoke," Milady, with a lull in operations I was wondering if you had anything for me. Ive been dying to have a worthy opponent to face and all I am given is these pathetic grunts from the UHV." Its voice as always was distorted though the mask it wore as well as the jutsu but it would be obvious to Kin just who it was.

The lady raikage was off to the side resting, when yet another apparition appeared. It was well known to Kinpaku who exactly it was, complaining of his woes in completing his tasks for Kumogakure. "In the mountains here, I sent a party to investigate a source. I'd like you to go and give whatever support is needed," the woman commented simply, directing the apparition to his next destination.

It was Akira's first day out of the academy and could already feel more of a weight lifted off her shoulders. She gripped the pole of her short spear tightly. The blade was sheathed due to it's abilities, but that would be for another day. Akira was at the office to the Raikage, and she could feel the cool mountain breeze blowing her hair as she gazed upon the tower. She started towards the main doors of the office. Keeping the tight grip on her spear with her left hand, she opened the door with her right. Akira could see many shinobi hustling around trying to get their respective jobs done so she made her way up the stairs. Three flights later, Akira found her way to the Raikage's door. With a flick of her hair she knocked three times with her right hand. Hoping that the famous Raikage was in today.

Damien just graduated the Academy and his excitement was building, he was going to report to the Kage for the first time. This was a landmark in his life that was going to be the best thing, he looked at the building in front of his and started to traverse the stairs. This was going to be the start of everything... getting the title of ' Head Medical-Nin ' or something was his dream and he wasn't going to let anyone take it from him. A couple flights later and moving for Nin that were coming down the stairs... he had finally arrived; there was someone standing there " Akira right? We graduated at the same time. "

Akira looked to the boy with one eye and was glad to see a familiar face. "Damien! Boy am I glad to see that I wasn't the only one who graduated. I'm just waiting for an answer before stepping in the office." Akira wasn't usually this nice but since he had been in the same classes as her, she didn't mind too much. "So how have things been since the training days?" She was honestly curious as to how he had been doing since he left the academy. Most shinobi are all happy to become Genin but Akira wasn't satisfied. She needed to get as strong as she physically could. But all in due time.

Damien nodded and looked at her, she was one of the only people that didn't stare at it scarred face or his blind eye " Yeah, sensei was a great help. I'm just waiting to start Medical Training and what-not. " He thought for a moment about the fact that he would be no where without the academy teacher and his peers. He knew that the people that graduated with him were his biggest competition and friends. Akira was one of the only people that he actually familiarized himself with " They issued my a medical tool already. "

Akira showed her his spear, although it had the protective sheath over the blade, it was still a nice spear. "This I got from my Clan before leaving to Kumo, and," she pointed to the pair of tonfa on her belt, "These I got when I was very young." Akira liked comparing weapons, she had been training with them her whole life and she would be damned if she couldn't fight with any weapon she was handed. Akira was a survivalist, she knew what had to be done and she wouldn't stop at nothing less. "So you are training in the medical field? That's good, I'll need someone to back me up in fight!" Akira didn't see Damien as a threat, nor competition. They had talked about their pasts with each other at the academy and Damien's history shared the same qualities as her's did. They both left their clans to join in the Kumogakure shinobi force. All of this made them more connected and Akira knew that if they ever teamed up, that they wouldn't even need to say a word, they would just perform their duty flawlessly. Akira was happy to share Damien's enthusiasm with graduating and was ready for her further training.

Damien chuckled to himself, this was going to be interesting with them graduating at the same time " Backing you up? ... " He thought about it for a second and nodded " I guess that I can do that. " He shrugged and knocked on the door again, he wanted to get to training as soon as possible. He looked around and looked back at Akira, she was a strong girl.. obviously; but there was something else. They were practically the only ones that didn't have some ace in the hole like an Uchiha or something. He thought about what he would have to bring to the team, maybe this would be a duo team; just him and Akira. He would have to pull out all the stops so that they would be on the same level.
