Welcome to Gaia! ::

After aiding each other numerous times before splitting up, there is a doubt that either Kii or Zurui really ever forgets one another. However, it's a little shocking when they meet up again in a village just outside of Konohagakure...
Later- a new Organization may become born.

Kii yawned and sat up from his bed within the hotel he was staying at. Still dressed in the same garb as a loose black tank-top, black pants, and bandage-wrappings around his arms. Yawning once again, he pulled on his Iwagakure headband, and hopped up and off the bed. Stretching, he bounced around as he got his things together. A pair of daggers strapped to his back, and then a pack coming over them, and he was ready.

Closing the door behind him, Kii bounced down the stairs towards the lobby-area of the hotel, only to bump into someone tall, and very familiar. The silver-haired male blinked up, and then grinned. "Hi, Zu-san!"

Kii merely continued grinning. "Of course not! Why would I?" he chirped, bouncing a little in place at his find. It had been quite a long time since they last saw each other, so he was excited at seeing the younger male again. He stuck his tongue out and laughed a little, before bouncing around Zurui once, and then standing off to his side again. "You're as tall as always!" He then made his own observations, still with his hyper demeanor. He made as if to bounce around the tall male once more, before tripping and flopping onto his face.

Pouting, Kii sat up and rubbed his nose, glaring at the floor. "Stupid cheap hotel floor..." he grumbled.

Kii blinked at the retreating form of Zurui, and quickly hopped up and dashed after him. He was by the younger males' side in no time, as if the taller had been by the shorters' side, instead of across the lobby, and at the front door. Once outside, the silver-haired male peered back in the glass doors, and stuck his tongue out at the people inside.

"Where have you traveled to, Zu-san? How many jobs have you taken?" the hyperactive male chattered, bouncing a few times per one of Zurui's steps. "I went near Sunagakure for a bit, and got some jobs there... And then..." he paused in his sentence, still bouncing along, as he thought. "I was around the border for a bit... Nothing really interesting there." he finished after a few moments, back to beaming up at his current walking-companion.

"Well..." Kii smiled, a partial look of knowing crossing his features. "I have heard that there might be some work a few villages over, though, so I was thinking of heading there." He suddenly bounced forwards, pausing in front of the younger male to make him stop. "Though... if Zu-san stays here, and I do too, i've heard about a large job with some good pay... Lots bigger then the one in the other village." He grinned.

Kii grinned, and then reached forwards. Before Zurui knew it, he was being led off through the small crowds of the streets. "Good, good." He said to himself, still smiling. "I probably wouldn'tve been able to do it alone..." he chimed. "The guy who has the job is over here... He's a big meaniehead and didn't have any simpler jobs, earlier." he seemed to be a bit more energized, since Zurui said he would stay. He bounced several times while he walked.

Kii continued going, until he spotted a set of strangely-dressed shinobi grouped outside of a building. The smaller male let Zurui's hand go to give them a bit of a scare (he dropped into their circle from above by jumping on to, and from, a nearby roof). He chattered with them, laughing childishly as they kept their hands on their weapons at all time. After a bit of a talk, something seemed to be decided.
Soon, the duo were ushered into a rather pricy-looking hotel, and into the hotsprings where a rather sly looking man was bathing with a towel around his waist.

"So, I see you brought someone worth talking to..." the man sneered, and Kii just grinned.

"We want the job." the smaller male chimed. "You told me I needed someone else to help, so here he is."

The male regarded them for a few moments. "Is he your boss? Your lord? You look strong enough to do it on your own... why follow him around? He's just a child at mind... Nothing more."

Surprisingly, or not, Kii remained where he was standing next to Zurui, still merely grinning. He glanced up at the younger male, as if to say 'go ahead and answer'.

The man narrowed his eyes, an eyebrow rising a bit. "Right." he grunted. He shifted and stretched out a little more in the hot springs, relaxing a bit. "There is a group of renegade Shinobi, like yourself, that have taken over my mansion. That is why you see me here without my own luxuries that I would prefer." He guided a hand through the water a little.

"I want you to, essentially, clean house. I should have you know, however, that these shinobi are well-trained in what they do. They kill whoever cares to defy them, and i'm sure you imagine that that is what is going to make your job difficult. Not that I care, but I do care about the fact that they're alive and living in my home." He signaled with a hand for one of his guards to come fourth, and one did, and approached Kii and Zurui. Each of them were handed a small bag with heavy coin in them.

"That is only a fifth of the payment. I'm sure you boys understand that I can't give you the full amount at the moment... Not only would I fear you going back on your word, but the rest of my treasures are in the mansion, at the moment. Any last questions? No? Good luck. My guards will give you a map to where you're supposed to go."

Kii blinked over the map as they were ushered back out of the hotel, mumbling something to himself as he pocketed his coin. Once they were away from the hotel, he paused in his step, and pointed to a large circle on the map. "Four stories, including the first floor. There's a vault underneath, and a few workers' homes on the property. What do you want to take?"

"Right." Kii murmured, grinning up to Zurui. "This is going to be so much fun." he cheered, rolling up the map and putting it away. Shifting his daggers a bit, he made sure they were easily acessable, and adjusted the straps a bit. "Ready?" When given the go, he led them to the property the mansion was on.

The mansion itself looked deserted. However, there was some activity around it, like a few guards on the roof. Kii nodded to Zurui a bit, and motioned that they would have to sneak past them in order to get into the building without being noticed, and having the guards shout out an alarm. It was starting to sprinkle a little, which would provide decent cover if they kept to the shadows.
