"Life doesn't always give us that choice. The paths we walk are not always the straight and true ones we desire." The Hokage said, looking at the window the girl had broken and then to the spot where the lamp was.
"Aww, I liked that lamp. It was a nice lamp. You owe me a Nice New Lamp." He said dryly as he walked over to the girl when she broke down and began to sob on the ground.
Sitting with the girl a moment he placed his hand on the top of her head, ruffling her hair gently. He sighed and thought of the words to say, to reach to another ailing soul, but nothing came easily. Instead he simply remained with the girl for a time and let her cry it out before the words finally came to him.
"Life tries us in the most hurtful ways at the most disastrous of times. It weighs us to see if we can be found wanting, or if we are strong enough to rise. I don't know why he hasn't come back, maybe he's still stuck in his trial. But you're here, and you have those you serve alongside to help you through it." Masahiro said plainly.

Combat Styles: Hsing-I Pakua: ○ Supreme Awareness: For every stage learned, the user gains a passive ( slight ) awareness bonus. ○ Invigorate: The user utilizes chakra, and sends it to the body to eliminate fatigue and restore stamina. For every 10 chakra sent, 20 stamina is restored. True Belief: The user has meditated and trained long enough in this monk art to understand how important true belief is. By understanding the power of the spirit over the mind, and the mind over the body, the user has increased their stamina by sheer will power alone, as well as increased their toughness and durability. ○ Satori [ Enlightenment ] : Meditation and spiritual exploration and understand yields interesting results. Due to the greater understanding of the self, the user is more aware of the connection between their mind, body and spirit, and how to utilize that connection.

King of the Iron Fist: ○ Iron umph: The users ability to tense, stabilize, and execute hard blocks and strikes has increased, making blocking power slightly more increased. ○ Iron resiliency: The User has gone through tough enough training, being banged and moved around in armor to understand what it feels like. The user is now slightly more resilient to damage. ○ Iron Disciple: The user, through hours of intense training in multiple bad scenarios, has learned the old saying of “to kill with one punch.” Because they do not want to find themselves outnumbered, or maybe for pure enjoyment sake, the user is able to hit with great intensity when striking a foe, focusing on tension, grounding, stability, and strength at the impact sight. The users striking strength is increased. ○Iron resolve: The user has been thrown around, impacted, and beaten down so many times that they are not just physically more resistant, they are mentally used to getting their a** beat! The users physical and mental toughness is increased, granting a passive stamina increase. Nigirikobushi no Shintou: ○ Impact Resistance: Upon completing this training, the user suffers no recoil damage from techniques from any non-Rigorous Taijutsu or Bukijutsu Style up to either the highest trained rank in this Style or the highest trained rank in the Hard Physical Formless Style, whichever is lower, and does not suffer damage from striking anything harder than their fists. ○ Focal Point: The user meditates through combat, taking time to narrow their focus to their Chakra pathways.

Soshi smiled at Haru as she tossed him the headband. Catching it and then bowing slightly to her. "Thank You." Soshi turned and noticed the happening nearby as a woman carrying a person came up, and then the Hokage soon came from a nearby doorway. It didn't particularly spark any sort of interest aside from the female looking rather pretty. However they were obviously busy and Soshi would not take time out of is and their day in order to attempt to flirt with a busy person. However what did spark interest was this white haired girl, who was obviously a Hyuuga based on her eyes...although it could have easily been something that she had done herself, but she introduced herself as a Hyuuga anyways.
"Yes they a-" He cut himself off as he noticed that she suddenly noticed the Hokage and her attention was averted from him. As opposed to continuing his sentence to her he stopped and waited. Then not too soon after she was skipping out of the building supposedly to the academy or the dojo. Soshi simply chuckled with a smile on his face. So far in terms of first impressions Nanami seemed to have an issue with keeping her attention on singular things at once. At least from Soshi's point of view. He didn't particularly have an issue with it himself as sometimes he becomes like that as well. None the less Soshi would bow to Haru. "Thank You once more." And then begin heading out. Thinking as to whether or not he should attend the class going on at the dojo, or perhaps do a bit more personal training in the ninjutsu arts...after all he did have a lot of training in that department to deal with.

So lost in the world she was in, she didn't notice he was sitting by her until he placed his hand on her hair and ruffled her hair gently. She violently shook her head away. She was tired of that. Hated to be treated as a child even though she was certainly acting as one right now. Hozuki started to fight so hard to stop crying. To calm down. But even that had prove to be challenging. The Senju let few more sobs out as she wiped her face with her hands, to rid of any tears. Stood up, she started to walk towards the door as she stood in front of it, her fists clenched. She wanted out. She wanted to go take care of nature and plants. Away from people. Away from anyone. Few more tears shed as she already knew the answer. The b*****d doesn't understand her space and need to be with plants and may just keep her here until she response to him. She will remember his words and what he said, it just not the right time right now.

Current Attire: The one in the pic but without the white wrappings. Instead, she is wearing warm black baggy shinobi pants. Along with that, she is also wearing tight black sweater with a black jacket over the sweater. A tight dark maroon colored shirt would be underneath the sweater. Underneath the black baggy pants, she would be wearing tight black wool clothing to keep her warm. Black scarf around her neck and tight black gloves. All black clothes are waterproof.
Masahiro sighed when the girl shook his hand off of her head and out of her hair. He could understand the sentiment and he realized he had been treating her a little softer than he really ought to have, but in this moment, she was in pure shock and he understood. Letting his hand raise as she walked away the stone slab would fall back into place and reveal Haru's office on the other side. The Kage looked to the blonde at the desk and gave a nod, letting Hozuki go.
"Take some time and compose yourself. Think of what I said about the Flower Shoppe, the owner should still be there and he'll let you tend to the flowers alone if you need privacy." Masahiro said as he stood and moved over to his desk, sitting in the chair, wondering what the other clone was doing with Nariko.

Hozuki took a step forward but she stopped in place, her soft hair moving in motion. "If he is alive..." She turned to face Masahiro, her brown with red layers in her eyes was looking back at him, "He better hope he's stronger than me or I will bury him myself." With no remorse or anything else, she left the office to tend to nature.

Trekking into the Hokage's tower, Masahiro would place his hand upon the shoulder of the clone that had been going up the stairs as well. The clone would poof into nothingness and the information from the recent events in the tower came to Masahiro's mind. So many new shinobi, so many sudden changes, and the arrival of a weaponized Pandora Parasyte. The Hokage's eyes shifted and he looked up the tower, tracing up higher. Entering into the office he would walk to his clone there and repeat the process, gaining the information it had, but letting this one remain in the office.
"Can't leave for a few days without any major events happening." He said, holding up the jar the other had given him with the withered hand and the Pandora Arm fragment inside.
"Then I will head to the Academy and begin working on studying this thing." The man said as he investigated it further.
Turning on his heel once more he turned and exited, waving to Haru in a way only the real him did.

Staring at the paperwork on his desk, the new team assignments, and the revelation of the things that had just happened, Masahiro sighed. Placing his hand on the papers to shift them out of the way.
He looked over Nariko's personnel file and the report from the undertaken mission. She had performed well with no proper backup and managed to uncover the first piece of the puzzle. Then the assistance in the matter of interrogation, she was worth her salt already. Good.
Pressing a palm onto the village intercom the man spoke with a clear and serious intent to his voice.
"Bjorn Jernhud and Nariko Hatake are to report immediately to my office." He commanded first, then after a short pause he would continue.
"Konohagakure is entering Medium Alert Status. The following shinobi are to gather at the designated locations, with their appointed squads, and await further orders."
The man shifted the squad roster in front of him and would deliver it over the announcement system.
"Kusanagi Squad: Klaus Hatake, Soshi Kuromachikku, and Nanami Hyuuga. You are to reconvene with the Hokage at the Academia of Artistic Pursuit."
"Otegine Squad: Squad Leader Nakicho Genshukuna, Nishimoto Kentaro, Teksuyo Renesagi, and Hiro Tanaka. You are to convene outside of the Brass Gauntlet."
"Nihongo Squad: Squad Leader Choumei Akimichi, Yasuhiro Nara, Kirumi Yamanaka and Tsubaki Yamanaka. Your squad is to convene at the Sparring Grounds"
"Kagami Squad: Squad Leader Ivilice Takamatsu, Kitai Shuuryo, Rikijo Urahiko, and Satemy Kurama are to convene at the Ramen Shop, before heading to currently assigned mission."
"Yasakani Squad: Squad Leader Hozuki Senju, Chikimi Nanba, Loki Kurama, and Kyo Satetsu are to convene at the Academy." He finished the squad designations and shifted his attention to the other half of his office where several ANBU had collected.
"At these locations, ANBU will meet you and give you further instruction." The Hokage finished, then turning to his ANBU and releasing the intercom.
"Your goals are to pair up and go to your designated teams and get a measure of their training. From there, you will set them on one of the following duties. Training, patrol, or reserve. One squad is to be given downtime in preparation of outside deployment. Pair up so each of you has a Sensory type. The Genin do not need to know they are being measured right now." He finished as he turned and motioned with his hand, the ANBU parting either out the stairwell or through the broken window to do as they were told.

Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2016 9:49 pm
Nariko easily slid into the office not really even listening to the secretary this time. She didn't want to waste time on pleasantries. She crossed her arms at her stomach and leaned against the wall. She was currently waiting on the other man but wouldn't mind if the Hokage told her what this was about. She leaned against the wall near his desk and waited for him to speak to her. Yawning softly as she was bored and wanted something to do already. Someone to beat down. Someone to push her to the edge of her abilities only for her to beat their asses down. Oh the joy she would take in from such a fight.
It’s Man eat Dog Man versus Beast The strong will survive I’ve got no time for the weak.
Arriving at the Hokage’s tower, Bjorn and Grym went through the front door and quickly up the stairs to his office before slowing down. Once they had reached the reception area, the huge bear and his equally large tamer nodded to Haru as they walked on into the office and gave Masahiro a quick nod. “You called, sir?” Bjorn would rumble out as he looked around and saw the younger woman, likely a genin, waiting in the office as well, “You must be Nariko, good to meet you, I’m Bjorn.” Grym would finally manage to squeeze himself into the office and sit down near the door to be out of the way as Bjorn turned back to the Kage, “So what’s going on?”

Passives:
PA and Animal trait: Strength supremely increased PA: Speed moderately increased Iron Uumph: Blocking power slightly increased Iron Resiliency: Slightly more resilient to damage Iron Disciple: Striking strength increased Olympia: Strength supremely increased Hsing-I Pakua: Awareness supremely increased Jiyugata Senpuu: Whirlwind Training: Speed supremely increased Jiyugata Senpuu: Advanced Whirlwind Training: Reflexes supremely increased JSJF: Principle: Move first then Block
Description: It doesnt take a medical ninja specializing in brain surgery to know that a moving target is more difficult to to hit then a still target. By practicing always moving, especially right before they block, the user allows their movements to become slightly more difficult to pin down. By moving with the direction of the attack, the user can even lessen the impact force, making their defenses easier to perform. When engaging a physical force that will defeat their same rank defense (ie: berserker discipline, weapon specialist discipline, sage mode) the user may expend the additional half-rank stamina to allow the defense, of this style, to work. If you possess one of the above disciplines, then you may only do this for the style you do not receive an increase for.
JSJF: Principle: Circles and Angles
Description: The user, through a little combative understanding and sheer combative need, begins to understand the idea of moving and attacking on circles and angles. This way, they are able to circularly avoid attacks and danger, or simply slip off the angle off attack their opponent uses. When faced with a taijutsu and non-projectile based bukjutsu technique of D rank of lower, the user can simply expend that rank of stamina to augment a given technique of this style to perform a fast shift and dodge to avoid the technique. When faced with a taijutsu and non-projectile based bukjutsu technique of C rank or lower, the use can expand that rank of stamina to count as a defensive activation to perform a fast shift and dodge to avoid the technique. If used during a combination, this counts as one of the techniques.
JSJF: Principle: Sticking and Tracking
Description: When in the jungle, gaining control of your opponent is crucial. The longer the battle continues, the longer it has the chance of continuing. If you cant see your opponent, then you cant fight the opponent. The user must train to utilize their body as a form of sensory unit gaining a sensitivity to feeling pressure and movement as they attach to their opponent. By attempting to obtain constant contact with the opponent, with multiple points of attachment, the user is better able to combat a single opponent by transitioning from technique to technique while staying attached to the opponent. When attached to a given limb prior to the opponents attack using said limb, the user may use a single defensive technique and pay half the stamina cost to defend it/parry it/avoid it. This counts as a single offensive activation.
JSJF: Principle: There is Never an Idle limb
Description: In the jungle, combat is hectic, ferocious, and often brutal. To maximize their survivability, masters of Jing Shen Jie Fang utilize the principle of constant motion with all of their limbs, all the time and not get hung up in one action. By focusing on this principle, the user understands that by utilizing all their limbs during offense, as well as defense, that they can become an overwhelming force, like the roots of the jungle trees that smoother the ground. The user can now use their legs instead of their hands or weapons to defend an attack and perform combinations by using the stage 1 directions to defend the torso and lower body, leaving their hands free to engage and the attacker.
JSJF: Principle: Block off the back, Attack with the Front
Description: The ability to reach out and touch your enemy while not having them touch you has been the very defining thing of modern combat. By effective understanding of range, its variety, and constant flux, the user begins to change their offensive and defensive structure to block/parry with the rear weapon and attack with the front weapon. With no change in power, it can greatly increase the effectiveness of the user, allowing them to possibly land more strikes and attacks by distance alone.
JSJF: Principle: Whipping and Swimming the Arms
Description: When combat occurs in the close quarters, and confined and chaotic location like the jungle, then the user needs to be able to move themselves effectively to make sure they are not surrounded or flanked by multiple opponents or a single opponent getting a lucky shot. By whipping and swimming their arms and limbs, the user can transition from outside to inside of the opponent, offering different angles and attacking opportunities while limiting the opponents options. This can also allow the user to slightly manipulate their opponent with defensive and parry techniques to make multiple opponents block each other, or risk hitting each other instead of the user.
JSJF: Jungle Roots: Footing and Stability increased JSJF: Panther’s Pounce: Mundane Mobility Increased JSJF: Hunter’s Instincts: Human targets learned JSJF: Tatau: Mark of the Tiger:
The tiger is the king of the jungle, using powerful claws and mass to dominate and control anything in its way. The basic techniques from stage 1 can now be trained up to S rank, and can be used as takedowns (usually when using opposite direction combinations) if the user so desires.
"Intelligence has lead us to finding several odd artifacts of late. There has been a high volume of materials being moved, chakra steel, orichalc, and variable marbles. Current intelligence states that these marbles are not being moved out of Takumi, but from the lab of a researcher who has had a hand in Konoha for some time now. Doctor Akira Tatsuki, already I have had the ANBU sweep his home and nothing has been found. Scattered papers regarding different medical diagnosis, research on chakra ailments and new methods of treatment, but everything else, gone. We received word of an item called a Pandora Arm from an outside source and I sent Nariko here, alongside three ANBU, to handle the situation. One of the ANBU Captains is interrogating the survivors of their assault." He said as he stood and shook his head, eyes turning to focus on Grym for a moment before he smiled, then turning back to the pair.
"Nariko, however, got to see the Pandora arm in action and even recovered a piece of it, which I am currently studying. Through interrogation of the only captive survivor of her assault we've learned of a hideout and that the enemy organization is compartmentalized. Also that their order is intent on gathering more of the Pandora. While the man we have in our custody doesn't know where the Good Doctor is, he states that to his belief they do not have him in their custody, but that he is making dead drops of tech." A sigh passed the man's lips, not of exasperation, but of wonder.
"I'm sending you two to said hideout. Take down any hostiles, and recover any relevant data. From there we'll determine our next course of action." The Hokage said as he turned back to his desk, looking out the broken window.
"If we can, safely, recover the girl with the Pandora arm. If you cannot, I order the remnants of it to be destroyed. I watched the piece in our custody eat the chakra out of her flesh and desiccate the flesh it had been adhered to before. It is to be treated as a Class-S entity." He said as he returned his gaze, this time to Bjorn.
"Narrowing down the range of where the enemy is holed out, the current belief is that they lie within the Cliffside Caverns, the old ninja-tribe village in the Northern edge of the forest in Fire country." Masahiro said as he drew out a few reconnaissance photos from the time the Land of Fire had been scoured for UHV troops, following Ivilice's assault on a hidden UHV base.

Combat Styles: Hsing-I Pakua: ○ Supreme Awareness: For every stage learned, the user gains a passive ( slight ) awareness bonus. ○ Invigorate: The user utilizes chakra, and sends it to the body to eliminate fatigue and restore stamina. For every 10 chakra sent, 20 stamina is restored. True Belief: The user has meditated and trained long enough in this monk art to understand how important true belief is. By understanding the power of the spirit over the mind, and the mind over the body, the user has increased their stamina by sheer will power alone, as well as increased their toughness and durability. ○ Satori [ Enlightenment ] : Meditation and spiritual exploration and understand yields interesting results. Due to the greater understanding of the self, the user is more aware of the connection between their mind, body and spirit, and how to utilize that connection. The user is now slightly more skilled at just about everything. Striking, blocking, moving, absorbing, and taking damage. King of the Iron Fist: ○ Iron umph: The users ability to tense, stabilize, and execute hard blocks and strikes has increased, making blocking power slightly more increased. ○ Iron resiliency: The User has gone through tough enough training, being banged and moved around in armor to understand what it feels like. The user is now slightly more resilient to damage. ○ Iron Disciple: The user, through hours of intense training in multiple bad scenarios, has learned the old saying of “to kill with one punch.” Because they do not want to find themselves outnumbered, or maybe for pure enjoyment sake, the user is able to hit with great intensity when striking a foe, focusing on tension, grounding, stability, and strength at the impact sight. The users striking strength is increased. ○Iron resolve: The user has been thrown around, impacted, and beaten down so many times that they are not just physically more resistant, they are mentally used to getting their a** beat! The users physical and mental toughness is increased, granting a passive stamina increase. Nigirikobushi no Shintou: ○ Impact Resistance: Upon completing this training, the user suffers no recoil damage from techniques from any non-Rigorous Taijutsu or Bukijutsu Style up to either the highest trained rank in this Style or the highest trained rank in the Hard Physical Formless Style, whichever is lower, and does not suffer damage from striking anything harder than their fists. ○ Focal Point: The user meditates through combat, taking time to narrow their focus to their Chakra pathways. In so doing, they become innately aware of when they are being observed in combat, and can pinpoint the locations of anyone below their rank observing them within one meter. Shigure Souen: ○ Insight Rain :: The user will practice extending themselves into the atmosphere, in a sense. After much dedication, the user develops the ability to sense hostile intent in the immediate area. As to where, however, they cannot be sure. Kishitou Yoroi: ○ All Simple techniques in this Style are treated as Spiritual when interacting with other techniques. ○ For interacting with physical techniques, light armor is treated as granting C-Rank defense, medium armor B-Rank defense, and heavy armor A-Rank defense. ○ While wearing armor, the user is capable of using all Taijutsu techniques they know as normal. ○ Acclimation: Can move in armor without hindrance. Supreme bonus to Physical Strength (Power) using abilities with Compatible Armor. (Now all armor as per Kishitou) ○ Shifting Position: All techniques that would move or topple Masahiro now affect him as one rank less. And he cannot be toppled by techniques of lower level than his armor. ○ Knight's Blade: Effects of style now affect all armor types and armanents and can be used in any style of armor.

Nariko gave him attention in an odd manner by holding up her hands and causing her fingers to move in a wave. This lasted for only a second as she turned her attention back to the Hokage. She desperately hoped that this was a mission that she could push herself with in this instance. She wanted to go further and further in this village. She was going to make Kusagakure proud of her and her efforts. As details of her previous mission were relayed to this other shinobi she waited to hear it. She waited to hear the words that she was put on the mission to raid the compound. She kept her body language in check giving away nothing to either the Hokage nor the ohter shinobi. Bjorn... that was his name the claimed right? As she looked over the surveillance photos her heart sang. She bounced up and down on the toes of her feet as she gently tapped Bjorn next to her. She nudged her head towards the door as she was doing a slow jog towards the area. They had their mission and Nariko was going to deliver everything to the Hokage on a silver platter.
It’s Man eat Dog Man versus Beast The strong will survive I’ve got no time for the weak.
Bjorn and Grym would listen closely as Masahiro explained the situation and what he was being sent to do and was given an idea of what kind of threat they would be facing. “ The Cliffside caverns? I think I stayed in those caves for a while when I was younger before I came to the village…and an S-class entity.. this is gonna be rough….” He’d then notice Nariko bouncing on the balls of her feet and tapping him before slow-jogging towards the door. To him, she seemed like an overly excited cub, causing even Grym to facepalm. Shaking his head, Bjorn would point at the genin over his shoulder, “So I guess I’m on babysitting duty along with the apparent seek and destroy mission?” the huge man would raise an eyebrow before turning back to look at Nariko just in time for Grym to speak up, “So, cub, what kinds of skills do you have? Before we go rushing into this, we should get a quick idea of how the three of us can work together best.” Hopefully Nariko wouldn’t be too surprised by a gigantic talking bear asking her what she was good at.

Description: It doesnt take a medical ninja specializing in brain surgery to know that a moving target is more difficult to to hit then a still target. By practicing always moving, especially right before they block, the user allows their movements to become slightly more difficult to pin down. By moving with the direction of the attack, the user can even lessen the impact force, making their defenses easier to perform. When engaging a physical force that will defeat their same rank defense (ie: berserker discipline, weapon specialist discipline, sage mode) the user may expend the additional half-rank stamina to allow the defense, of this style, to work. If you possess one of the above disciplines, then you may only do this for the style you do not receive an increase for.
JSJF: Principle: Circles and Angles
Description: The user, through a little combative understanding and sheer combative need, begins to understand the idea of moving and attacking on circles and angles. This way, they are able to circularly avoid attacks and danger, or simply slip off the angle off attack their opponent uses. When faced with a taijutsu and non-projectile based bukjutsu technique of D rank of lower, the user can simply expend that rank of stamina to augment a given technique of this style to perform a fast shift and dodge to avoid the technique. When faced with a taijutsu and non-projectile based bukjutsu technique of C rank or lower, the use can expand that rank of stamina to count as a defensive activation to perform a fast shift and dodge to avoid the technique. If used during a combination, this counts as one of the techniques.
JSJF: Principle: Sticking and Tracking
Description: When in the jungle, gaining control of your opponent is crucial. The longer the battle continues, the longer it has the chance of continuing. If you cant see your opponent, then you cant fight the opponent. The user must train to utilize their body as a form of sensory unit gaining a sensitivity to feeling pressure and movement as they attach to their opponent. By attempting to obtain constant contact with the opponent, with multiple points of attachment, the user is better able to combat a single opponent by transitioning from technique to technique while staying attached to the opponent. When attached to a given limb prior to the opponents attack using said limb, the user may use a single defensive technique and pay half the stamina cost to defend it/parry it/avoid it. This counts as a single offensive activation.
JSJF: Principle: There is Never an Idle limb
Description: In the jungle, combat is hectic, ferocious, and often brutal. To maximize their survivability, masters of Jing Shen Jie Fang utilize the principle of constant motion with all of their limbs, all the time and not get hung up in one action. By focusing on this principle, the user understands that by utilizing all their limbs during offense, as well as defense, that they can become an overwhelming force, like the roots of the jungle trees that smoother the ground. The user can now use their legs instead of their hands or weapons to defend an attack and perform combinations by using the stage 1 directions to defend the torso and lower body, leaving their hands free to engage and the attacker.
JSJF: Principle: Block off the back, Attack with the Front
Description: The ability to reach out and touch your enemy while not having them touch you has been the very defining thing of modern combat. By effective understanding of range, its variety, and constant flux, the user begins to change their offensive and defensive structure to block/parry with the rear weapon and attack with the front weapon. With no change in power, it can greatly increase the effectiveness of the user, allowing them to possibly land more strikes and attacks by distance alone.
JSJF: Principle: Whipping and Swimming the Arms
Description: When combat occurs in the close quarters, and confined and chaotic location like the jungle, then the user needs to be able to move themselves effectively to make sure they are not surrounded or flanked by multiple opponents or a single opponent getting a lucky shot.

As the man was following her she picked up the pace. As the bear spoke all he earned from Nariko was a wink as she rushed out of the area. She would be just fine on her own. This man would either need to understand that and worry about himself. Or she would disappear and head to do the mission herself. At the end of the day she didn't give a damn if she had back up or not. She would make s**t work in spite of back up or lack there of. [Exit]

Bjorn and Grym would see the girl just completely ignore them and leave the office, a low growl escaping both their throats as they decided to take what for them was the faster way out. Grym would shift into a human form, about Bjorn’s size and the two would dive out the broken window of the Hokage’s office, catching nearby tree limbs and swinging and jumping towards the gates of the village.

★ ▌Entering the long stairwell that led up to the highest floor of the spherical building, Hiro paced his movements up the stairs, still stained with the white paint left not too many moons ago by he. Some time, he'd have to clean up the mess. Or get those kids to do it, if he ever got his hands around their mangy necks. Still, the past incidents for now was of no concern. There were newer movements along the horizon of the working stiff. That which would more than likely require him to spare the rod and spoil a few mischievous brat's days. But first, he'd need to deal with completing his other orders.
If only he could get this a*****e to back off him.
Hiro marched up the stairs, footsteps echoing past the third flight on the way to the office. Finally, after reaching the entrance, he took a look around. Something had happened here. The door to the reception desk was closed as Hiro reached for the knob and opened wide. Inside there seemed to be nobody around, but an unmistakable presence of ominous dread. Something large, and promptly reeking of bear from the breeze coming from the shattered window panes. "The ********> For once, Hiro was mostly lost for words, as if he had been the first responder to the scene of a crime. If only the moment hadn't been interrupted by a loudmouth leader wanting to play senpai.
The outburst forced Hiro to turn his head to the guy standing beside him in the doorway, just out of arm's reach. "Shut the ******** up for a goddamned minute. Somebody trashed the office, numbnuts!" Spoken loud enough that his voice carried down the hall, Hiro had half a mind to smack the O Fearless Leader upside his Lothario dome. Instead, he reached out to the clone, trying to drag it inside and observe the damage for himself.
