❧ || Housing Facility: Apartments

[smell my flowers kenneth]

Mid day sun beat down into the bedroom, sneaking its way through the tightly drawn curtains. Tsu was curled into a small lump on her bed; her sheets were moist with sweat, and loosely draped around her. She sniffled, and stared around her room blearily. Yeah, she had a cold. She couldn't stand being sick, and just this small fever was beating her. After realizing she'd been awake, but immobile for over an hour, she summoned up the strength to flop out of bed and drag herself into her bathroom.

After spending the longest amount of time she ever had getting a shower, and getting clean, she sat back down on her bed. Makeup? Maybe. Styling her hair? Potentially. She wasn't about to let this cold keep her from her training, but admittedly there wasn't all that much daylight left now. Her routine normally entailed waking up at the crack of dawn to be in the training fields some time around nine. One in the afternoon was more than pushing it. Tsu gave up on the idea of looking good, haphazardly tossed on her clothing, and headed out the door.

Her style was simple during the day. Shorts, shirt, underarmor, vest, and a belt. There wasn't anything pretty about training, so she dressed the part. Putting on her face required makeup. Today, she was going to be close to intolerable, and she knew it. Not that she cared, but she braced herself for the enthusiasm from others that would bounce right off of her. Being sick sucked.

Tsu set off towards the training fields, procrastinating all the way by moving as sluggishly as she could.

Sypher stood at a set of steps, looking down into the deeper, danker parts of the housing development. He started down, nothing distinguishing him as a shinobi from a different village. He walked carefully, avoiding the piles of trash and remembering the way perfectly. This place was under the rest of Leaf, almost unknown to people who had never lived in it. He made his way through dark alleys, avoiding orphans and thieves as he pulled dirty clothes off the street. He threw them on, a dirty shirt and a pair of pants, a hat going over his head and he fit right in What a surprise...he hasn't moved at all. he stared at the door in front of him and pushed it open, watching it fall to the floor from termite damage "Ha..." he stepped in, ducking under the door frame and in. Before he could even look up, a glass bottle hit him over the head and he shouted, falling to the ground and rolling. A drunk stood before him, not his foster father but certainly someone similar "HMPH!" Sypher flung a kunai and the man was too stupid to dodge and took it straight to the throat "Ouch..." he rubbed his head, taking away a bloody hand "Damn it." he grunted and stood, starting in once more Stupid b*****d never locked his door....guess I should be thankful. Its the only reason I'm alive. he stopped then doubled back, looking into the last room. It was painted a filthy blue and filled with potato sacks that, as he knew, doubled as beds. Inside a child sat, gender unknown, cowering and staring at him "Get out." he ordered and the child split just as Gin burst out of the bathroom. He was a filthy old man standing at a towering 6'11" and weighing in at 200-300lbs. He stared at Sypher who gazed back impassively "Oye boy. What the hell do you want? Back for another beating?" he growled and pulled an over sized wooden sword from the nearest room. It was bent out of shape and splintered "Not really, Dad. I actually came to return the favor." Sypher said easily, his hands signing to draw a similar wooden sword from the wood door frame. They stared at each other for a moment, one with concealed rage and the other a false smile. Then they both moved, Sypher striking up and Gin striking down. Sypher lept upward as he struck down at Gin's back, his sword whistling. Gin took the blow without a sound and pushed up, slamming into Sypher and into the ceiling "Ugh!" he grunted and hit the ground as Gin moved, dodging to the side and out of reach. Sypher gripped his side as he staggered up, backing into the room as Gin advanced now. The old man was fast for his age, nearing 70, and for his size. Then again, he'd been an incredible Anbu of unparallelled skill with a blade. Skill he'd used to beat boys senseless. Thinking on this, Sypher felt his resolve harden once more and he charged, slamming into the man's chest and collar. Using ninjutsu at this time would destroy this building and the people in it, something he didn't want Physical I will have to do. Good thing all my students are taijutsu users. Gives me practice. he thought, spinning to duck Gin's flailing arms. The ruckus was doubled when Gin grabbed him and flung him into a filthy window, the only one. He slammed into it, sending glass blowing out and fell....straight into the tub Bad...position! he wheezed as he thought, trying to get up as Gin lumbered in. The man began swinging with his fists, slamming into Sypher's chest and stomach as he protected his head. He'd need to get out of the tub if he stood a chance. Struggling under the blows, his foot lashed out and kicked the water on, sending it spraying everywhere Maybe ninjutsu isn't totally out of the question. he signed quickly, sacrificing his head to get the upper hand. The blow he took dazed him and he almost didn't finish but the water responded to him and blasted Gin. The old man sputtered and backed off as Sypher dragged himself out of the tub Damn it! he could feel several breaks, his ribs mainly and his shoulder was dislocated. Adding the blow to his head on top of the blow he'd already received, and he wasn't feeling so good. Gin sputted and fell, his feet going out from under him, slamming into the sink and shattering it. Sypher stared, still dazed, at the broken porcelain as Gin shook himself Pay back...is awesome. He lunged for one of the pieces, a sharp corner and lurched forward, grabbing Gin by his shirt. The old man laughed at him, at the shard, "Y-Yeah right...Do it....boy!" he wheezed, starting to get up. Sypher didn't hesitate as he slammed the piece into the old man's stomach and wrenched down, dragging the piece even as it broke, slicing into his hands. Gin choked in rage, surprised that the runt he'd taken in had ever had the guts to do this. He grabbed Sypher by the throat as he reached for another piece and slammed him into the wall. Sypher gagged and his flailing fingers gripped a piece as he started to black out. He stabbed wildly, the piece cutting into neck and chest, blood everywhere, mixing with water. Suddenly he could breath again as Gin collapsed to one side "Haeee...heeee..." Sypher wheezed, pushing back slowly as he tried to gain some room between him and the body. Outside a clamor was starting as other residents came out of hiding Where were they when he was beating kids...huh?! he dragged himself up, pain cutting through a daze. He had to get out of there and he knew only one way Window...but they'll be looking for a boy...so.. he signed once more and a red haired girl climbed out of the broken bathroom window, stumbling to safety.

Kein made his way up the street using his sharingan to follow Sypher's chakra signature. He traced it up to a house where the faint glowing trail moved in the door of the house but out the window. That was odd, in any case that meant that his job was completed. He noticed a spot of blood on the ground, as he looked at it he knew with out a doubt that it was Spyher's blood. It reeked of his signature.

The Anbu squad tailed closely behind Kein. Ready to act should something go wrong.

[Bleh. One line. But it'll probably be the only tailing post. The rest should be assumed]

Kein sighed and stood from his perch on top of the building. He had tracked Sypher a good ways but now he decided enough was enough. Sypher was a jounin like him and not an easy target. He will be fine, Kein decided. He turned and made his way through the streets looking for a good way to relax he could use one after today.

Jade's next stop had been the apartment area. They had been nearest the streets so she figured that it was for the best to come here. She began to head through the apartments at a steady pace.

Heading along the corridors slowly Jade would pace about. Her feet tapping the floor so her sense was able to peer through the closed doors and down the halls. With this she would be able to see anything suspicious going on, in case of an emergency she was warranted to break in and stop whatever was going on.

Though again, all seemed peaceful here, the aura she had begun to create around her continue to grow. It was a slow and steady process but it would be well worth it in the end. After examining the apartment area the girl would head off to another area.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Having arrived for yet another mission, the young Jade would begin her investigation. Apparently there had been some sort of robbery that had taken place here. And while she was given a description of the culprit, it had only done her so much good.

Despite her blindness, with her sixth sense she was able to use vibrations to get a detailed outline of everyone and everything around her. So once she was given the physical attributes and any unique characteristics there had been she headed off. She was sure to ask what was stolen as well.

Of course this would be a lot harder than one would think. The only leads she had had been the woman's valuable jewels were taken and the man's description. She had been tipped off as to where he might have gone since he headed towards the market district.

So that's where Jade headed, having figured that the man was going to pawn the items he stole. The girl searched around and when she found a physical build of the hefty man that had been described to her she acted. Calmly she approached him, politely telling him to give back the jewelry he stole; but of course the man didn't comply.

Instead the man tried to continue on with her transaction after insulting the young ninja. So Jade used her mighty strength to lift him from his chair and body slam him into the ground. Due to his girth the man didn't go down so easily, quickly scrambling up to his feet as he tried to flee. However, he wouldn't get very far.

Jade sighed softly as she focused her wind-natured chakra into her palm, forming a spiraling sphere of energy. She held on to maintain it as she darted forwards, quickly catching up to the hefty man and sending the spherical energy blast into his back. A mild explosion was created as the man was sent flying away, Jade having taken her time catching up to the unconscious man as she reclaimed the stolen jewelry and turned the man into the authorities. Afterward the young girl headed back to return the jewelry, with a soft sigh the mission was complete and after this she would head off in search for the Hokage. Feeling that it was already time for a promotion.

[Anbu Black Oinin]

Saku walked into the apartments as a old lady called him over to assist her with some thing. Walking with her they ended up by her garden as she asked him to weed it out. With a sigh and a nod he would drop to his knees and begin to search for the weeds that infested her plants.

[1/4]

Finding the weeds easily Saku would pull them free and set them aside in a pile. Once done he would then pull the plants from the grouns and set them in pots with soil and water to sit while he tends to making sure the garden is perfect. Grabbing a rake he would level the dirt that he disturbed on while pulling the weed and plants out.

[2/4]

Once finish he would set the plants back in their respected areas as he would then place fertilaizer on the plants ensuring that they will grow strong. After that he began to water the plants as he whiled and watch as the soil began to moisten. Satified that he did a good job he walked and got the old lady and showed her his work.

[3/4]

Smiling the lady thanked Saku as she admired her now beautiful garden. Saku then took his leave as he headed to the mission borad to post that it had been finished. Walking out of the apartments he chuckled as that was a mission? That was just gardening.

Saku moved to the apartments as he would scan the area. He would smiled as he sae the couple and old lady he had helped earlier as he decided that it was safe here. Nodding he kept moving along as he began to get bored.

"If someone ever threatened the life of a friend their no friend of mine, and they shall perish under my wrath."

Night walked back into the apartment her mind clouded with thoughts of Haku and Reiko. She didn't know what to do. I need to go talk to Haku. . . but where would I find him? The academy? Off somewhere training? Night growled at herself once she was back in her apartment, she punched the wall in frustration causing a dent in it. She went off to her bed and simply layed down putting a pillow over her face, her body spread out. "Haku probably hates me!" She whined wanting to cry, but Night hadn't cried in years so it was hard to let the tears come and take her over. In her eyes crying was a sign of weakness in this world of danger and risks. So she had blocked all of her tears away locking them deep inside herself. Night rolled over onto her side wondering if she had even locked the door behind her. Not bothering with it she drifted off into a bleak sleep.  

[Dexterous Prince]

The Strong Will Survieve...

Why the hell was he doing this?1 It so wasn't like him! he just needed to check up on her,to a normal person it would sound understandable but to Reiko it was beyond weird. It was childsplay figuring out her apartment and easier so to get in as the door wasn't even locked. He walked in casually,at first appearing as if she were not home. He kept looking though and found her,curled up asleep. It appears that she had been crying...Was he really causing her that much grief? He leaned against the door frame and just stood there,watching her sleep
