Daniwa's Move to Iwa (Rina Only)

Tired, dirty, soaked, and...tired. She was worn out from the travel and wanted to go home already but turning back was too late. She looked up when she realized she had reached her destination and entered the village awaitting her escort (Rina) to her new home. Daniwa scratched her head and looked over her shoulder wanting Minato's nosy butt to be standing behind her or the strange scent of Durashi's hot breath looming over her but of course it was not there. Neither fantasy-neither hope. She definitely didn't look the same as before and her attitude showed a change for she was somewhat nervous and lost in thought.

Rina was making her way down the street when an elderly woman came up to her and said that there was a strange person. Rian turned into a bird and flow toward the village gates. Once she was pretty close she landed and walked the rest of the way there and saw to whom the old person said was a strange person. Rina pushed her hair out of her face and said in a plight tone of voice “hello I am not permitted to let you go any further unless you state you biasness and name.” Rinas eyes where soft and warm as she looked her up and down.

Daniwa watched as the girl came and rubbed her forehead before speaking, "I have purchased property within Iwa to which I will reside in. I am just...well I could use help locating it. Do you know where this is?"

Daniwa held out a wrinkled and stained piece of paper of her new home with the address and all but being that she was not familiar with their territory she was utterly confused.
"Might you be able to help me ma'am?"

Rinas eyes narrowed as she examined the slip of paper than she said her voice not as friendly but was not hostel “well I will need to ask you a few questions before I take you there so please bare with me.” She paused for a moment than continued “first off I will need your full name second where do you come from include where you originated or born. Third what was your occupation and what do you plan on doing here. And lastly what brings you here.” Rinas eyes rested on her she looked like she had come a long way.

Daniwa nodded her head and handed her an ID card. It was of her with her birth name showing no evidence of being a shinobi whatsoever. She was dressed in more fashionable cothes in the picture that from the looks of it, weren't the same as the ones she wore now.

"My name is Nai-Rozzu. My parents had given birth to me in Konoha but from then on they were nomads. I never had a real home. I traveled from place to place every 2 days but after they were killed crossing paths with the Leaf Shinobi I sought comfort and a place to settle as far away from them as possible. My previous job was more or less like a merchant. My parents bought many useless things that I managed to sell for money for traveling and eating. I just now came from the small town down yonder."

She pointed back at where a small civilization resided that she had stopped at to use the bathroom and then turned back to Rina.

"I hope to work in a fair salary-based shop of some kind. I'm not into businesses and what not. Too complex to have for a daily occupation. I see you are one of them ninja folk. That must be difficult no? Did you attend a school or something to acquire that position?" She stretched and studied this person standing before her showing much interest but intimidation over her own status which was no doubt-civilian.

Rinas eyes narrowed as she looked at it and than she looked up at the woman than back at the card and nodded her head and said in a calm voice, “I take it you parents had a good supply of money than. Jugging by the picture of cores.” She than listened to her closely.

Rinas body tensed up slightly at the mention of the leaf and she hissed farley loud “Yoshiko” her ears perked as she listened more closely to what she was saying weighting for her to say something to give Rina a reason to deny her the ability to come Into the village. E But alas she did not see anything that would giver her the right to tell her to leave. Rinas voice come out soft and steady as she said “well im sorry that you lost your parents….. to the leaf but there is nothing you can do about it. And I don’t think I introduced my self my name is Rina.”.

Rina than said “well I could help you with a job my mother she owns a store that sells food and basic ninja equipment. And it pays pretty good but with the war and all it is not as high of a pay as it used to be.” Rinas eyes where now a light violet showing she was pretty happy. She cocked her head as she brought up the ninja thing. She nodded her head as she said “well yes I am and with the war and all things have started to get interesting and yes I did attend a school at one point.” Her eyes flickered slightly to black than to green than back to violet. She was confused why this person would ask her this.

"I learned a bit about chakra but it was too confusing. Especially with nobody to teach me. Thank you. I'd love to work under your mother Rina. And..." she beamed at her in awe, "Your eyes are dazzling. You most definitely are unique Rina. I would have hated choosing Konoha over Iwa knowing what I could've missed out on here. Well then-I hope you know where that it..." she said sheepishly remaking on her new home.

RIna nodded her head slightly and she said “well yes it is I guess if you don’t have any one to teach you. im telling you now my mother you see the thing is a little well umm she can be a little over friendly at times so ya.” RIna raised her eyebrow slightly and jumped a little as she commented about her eyes. “Well thank you” Rina smiled lightly and pushed the comment of the leaf and the stone to the side. She than said in a soothing tone “well I know where it is but what rout do you wish to take the long or short way.”
Rina fingered at the sword she had on her back for a moment and she only did that when she was thinking or there was something bugging her. Her eyes than seemed to look straight through Nai than she came back into focus and she placed her hand back to her side. And she said in a calm voice “im sorry about that it is just im some what on high alert and well I tend to get to deep into thought about things.”

Nai smiled unsure of how to take the comment on her new boss but then said with a daring expression, "The long way. I want to see as much of Iwa as possible before night fall." She cupped her chin in attempt to hold a giggle at the shinobi's reaction to a compliment and wved her hand at her odd behaviour. "Tis fine. I used to bite people when I didn't like them or felt nervous around them." She put a hand to her skull and rubbed it, "Right here I was given my first clout to the head from my dad. I well...bit him too." She looked at Rina again and then said, "Lead the way Rina."

Rina noded her head and said “as you wish but you may get a few lookes from a few people . “ Rinas eyes twitched in amusment as she saw that she was trying not to laugh at her and she just waved her hand as if to say go ahead and laugh at me. She than said “o I like you so far its just im kind of stressed out from my job.” Her eyes flashed with amusment as she said “well if you bit me I know why” Rina turned on her heels and walked down the rode and said “are you sure you don’t want to clean up first im free this whole day so I have time.”Rina examined her for a moment but said no more.

Nai nodded understanding and then asked, "You'd wait on me? How sweet...I guess I'm...awfully dirty eh?" She giggled and propped her hands behind her head, "Okay. I'll wash myself but I'm going to need some new clothing. These are obviously...well...done for. Might you direct me to a place of which I may purchase new clothing articles?" Her pants had runs in them from the harsh traveling and weather and her shirt was tearing up the middle. She was definitely not the same person she used to be.

RIna could not help but to smile a little at her and she nodded her head. As she walked down the street she would turn her head every now and than to make sure she was coming. After a few moments of walking they came to a medium sized shop and Rina walked in and said “well Nai pick what you want ill pay for it and feel free to get a few outfits and take your time.” as she said this she leaned up against the wall and relaxed. The store Rina had picked had every thing from ninja clothing to formal ware.

Nai glomped her. She was awfully nice for a random stranger and very mysterious. She crept into the store cautiously feeling a bit shy to the new store and immedietley grew more open seeing all the nice things to wear. The dresses were pretty and the ninja gear was fairly appealing. She grabbed Rina by the wrist and dragged her in, "Help me pick! Please...." she begged.

Rina tensed up as she was glomped but than relaxed a little and smiled this woman was pretty entertaining and nice from what she could tell. RIna watched her walk and for a moment RIna thought she was just going to have to weight for her to get done but nope.the next thing she know was that some one was dragging her along. Rina than looked at her and said “umm well I guess I could but umm what do you like what are you looking for.” Rina cocked her head to one side as she looked at her.

She stopped to listen to Rina speak and then slumped her shoulders thinking a bit, "Well...what do I look like I could use? I do favor flowers but nothing too blah-you know? I don't want to look like a house-maid and nor do I want to look like a tramp so..." Her eyes fell upon ninja gear and she leaned her head forward a bit. "Those look pretty..." She looked at Rina and said, "You ninja have all the pretty things to wear. Hn...I'd like some I think..."

Natsumi ran down a street lined with shops. She was on her way to the Western Gate and decided to stop and see if she could find Rina. Natsumi slowed to a stop and started to look through shop windows and at the faces she passed. She strolled a few meters when suddenly she came across a window where she saw Rina and another girl inside. Natsumi smiled and reached for the door. She entered the shop and walked up behind the two girls. She heard the girl she didn't reconise say something about wanting something pretty. "Well, maybe i could help," Natsumi said, keeping her voice kinda quiet. Natsumi didn't know if they had heard her enter or not. "I'm not that great at fashion and stuff, but i could try to help." She noticed the new girl. "Are you new? My name is Natsumi Tsukishima, what's your's?"

Rina listened to what she was saying and said “ o come on you know you want to look like a flower” a smile came across her lips as she tried to suppress a laugh. “well I do agree with you about the ninja gear.” Rina than looked at her black pretty much sleeveless top with a fish net shirt over it. And her black paints and she could not help but to think she looked kind of dark. She turned around as she hear a voice come from behind her. “o hello Natsumi “ she said as she gave a respectful node. Her eye than stayed locked on to Natsumi .

Nai reared about to look at the new comer and smiled at this friendly girl who addressed her presence so eagerly. She bowed her head and said, "Hello Natsumi. My name is Nai Rozzu. I am a new resident of Iwa. It is a pleasure to meet you-" she looked at a rack of clothes from the corner of her eye and stared rather excited by it. "I like that stuff right there! I want these." she ran and scooped up some things.

Natsumi looked at both of the girls as they turned around and said hi. She noticed Rina give a small nod and she nodded back out of habit. The new girl introduced herself as Nai and said that she was new to the village. Natsumi stared at her when Nai suddenly decided she wanted some of the things on the rack of clothes and went to get some of the things. She soon started to feel a little awkward; she wasn't the type to shop a lot and she didn't have many friends yet, so doing this sort of thing was new to her. "Something wrong Rina?" Natsumi asked, noticeing for the first time that Rina was watching her.

Rina than hared Nai had found something to her likening. “well than is there anything else you would like to get your self before we go over to your house” she paused for a moment and she continued to say” Natsumi you are more than welcome to join us if Nai does not mind.” Her eyes where friendly and seemed relaxed. but than she heard Natsumi ask her if there was something wrong. This made Rinas eyes turn white because of her embarrassment of starring it was a bad habit she had just recently started. She quickly shook her head and said “no no every thing is fine.” Rinas gaze than shifted over to Nai to see if she wanted anything more.

She found earrings and dangled them infront of her face beforegaping at shoes that she jumped for before coming with her handful and dropping it at the counter. There was a top with strings holding the shirt together by the center and crisscrossing at the back, a small skirt with side flaps for leg space, pantyhose with rose imprints of black going up the leg, boots with heels that came up to below her knee, giant hoop earrings, a chain she'd attach to the side of the skirt, chopsticks and lipstick.

"Okay-that's it. And I'd love it if we had more company. Natsumi-can you help me move in too?"

Natsumi smiled shyly as Rina invited her along to help Nai move in. "I would love too but," She said, voice trailing. Nai chimed in, saying that it nice to have more company and asked if Natsumi could help her move in. "I would love to," She stopped. Wasn't there something she was forgetting? "Oh wait, I don't think I can! There's trouble at the western gate. I was actually looking for extra people to come help. You two can come help if you want. But I think I might have to go now, so would it be ok if i visit later?" Natsumi looked at both of the girls, wondering what they would say.

Nai took the bagged items and let Rina pay before listening in on Natsumi's words. She smiled hearing her agree to come till she said something about a Western Gate? Nai wasn't too familiar with anything around here so maybe this was the perfect time to get a glimpse of the place. Nai clasped he hands together and spoke, "Natsumi chan-I would lie to go very much. It is an opportunity to see more of Iwa for me before the day ends. Please allow me to lend a hand in any way for your generosity of helping me move in." She bowed her head respectfully showing their superiority to her in which the were ninja and she was not.

Natsumi nodded as Nai agreed to come. She wanted to see more of Iwa. "Yeah, that will be a good way to get to see the village. But please don't get hurt! I'll try to watch out for you as much as I can." She said, trying to be nice. "And don't worry about it, I like helping people, so helping you move in is no big deal. Oh here! You might need some equiptment to use when we're out there." Natsumi took some kunai, shuriken, paper bombs and other normal equipment that she carried around and handed it to Nai. "And you guys don't need to bow. I'm not that much older than you." Natsumi fussed. "I'm only 22. Now, we should probably get moving."

Nai took the objects and pocketed them but fiddled with the kunai a while. She nodded at Natsumi's remark on her behaviour towards her and followed her to the exit of the store. Her heavy bag was tossed over her shoulder and she seemed much more delighted to be able to tag along with them more than anything. She was hoping she had made friends because being an outcast was an experience she never wanted again.
