--- Sunagakure Library ---
Located near the center of the city, as one of the taller buildings surrounding the Kazekage's offices, the Sunagakure Library is immense and filled with thousands upon thousands of books, both ancient and modern. The rows of books, seemingly endless, one could easily lose themselves on the 5 floors of endless books, 2 of which proceed underground as the basement and sub-basement levels. Any information you could ever need, excepting the specifics of elemental jutsu themselves can be found here..

 Tsukiakari HikaruSunagakure| Ato Sakura No Ki No | Genin Walking out of the Kazekage's office, Hikaru was met with a harsh and pummeling wind as he was assaulted by sand particles. Bringing his hand up in a vain attempt to block the dust particles, Hikaru was none too happy with his new home at the moment. Shrugging it off, he looked around for a minute or so before finally spotting what seemed like the library, which thankfully, was not far from the Kazekage's office. Moving into a bit of a sprint towards the building, his legs instantly reminded him that he had already been running all day as fatigue washed over him like a stiff breeze.
Slowing down as quickly as he had sped up, Hikaru was forced to withstand a few more blasts of sand in this foreign environment before he reached the building, and happily stepped inside to escape the wind. Once the sand had been dusted from his eyes, Hikaru looked up to see a wonderful library, grander then he would have expected a ninja village to have. He was left agape as he looked around, immediately knowing the library to be larger then the one he often visited back home. Looking around at all of the books, Hikaru was somewhat re-invigorated, but knew that he should still sleep soon.
Walking up to the front desk area, Hikaru gave the woman behind the desk a nod and then asked her for some assistance... "Yes, I would like to take out a few books. I am new here and I would like a few introductory books on what it means to be a ninja. How the village works, ranks, progression, chakra, elemental control... anything you can think of that would teach someone all the basics." Nodding at the requests, the woman seemed to begin moving immediately to one area of the library on the entry level as she moved to a large row of books, removing about 5-6 large texts as she stacked them into Hikaru's arms. After leading him back to the desk and signing the books out she waved as Hikaru went back out into the windy sand on his way to the dorms.

Tsukiakari HikaruSunagakure| Ato Sakura No Ki No | GeninWalking from the dorm to the library was much simpler now then his memory served from last night. Some of the confusion as to his whereabouts as well as the lack of a whipping dust storm were problem the reasons for that... but never before had he felt the sun beat so harshly on his back. It would take a while to get used to such heat. Finishing his trek, Hikaru arrived at the steps of the library as he blanced the books in one hand to open the door, spinning his body to maneuver inside as he walked up to the desk and plopped the books in front of the librarian.
"Oh, hello again Hikaru... back so soon? were the books not what you were looking for?" Hikaru only smiled at her question as he responded with a bit of an amused tone "No, they had everything I needed. I just don't need them anymore." Hikaru tapped his temple a few times with a bit of a grin towards the librarian as if to say he had memorized all the pages, and then left as the librarian gave him a strange look, but then began to file the books away where they belonged. Ready for the next part of his morning's task, Kenji made his way to the marketplace.

Deil and Misuki ran through the village, and he could see the top of the building peeping over the tops of the other buildings from this distance. When they were close, he put on a sudden burst of speed and quickly outpaced Misuki. He came around the corner to see the giant building stand before him. Its so big! There must be tens of thousands of books! He waited at the entrance for Misuki to arrive.

 Misuki SindoueSindoue clan | Suna | GeninMisuki arrived a few seconds after Deil and went to lean against the wall of the library as she took in seveal deep breaths to calm herself down. "Not fair...you're faster then me when it comes to speed, you should've just speed walked..." Once Misuki got her breathing in check, she smiled at Deil before walking away from the library so that she could get a better view of the library. While running Misuki wasn't able to properly admire the grand building but now that she took the time to study the arcuitecture of the building, Misuki was truely impressed. "Wow..." Turning to face Deil, Misuki smiled brightly before rushing into the building. "No point in standing out here eating wind when we could be inside enjoying the vast knowledge contained in books."
Misuki stood in wonder as she looked at the row and row of books that filled this library and was immediately filled with happiness at the thought of all the stuff she could read about in here. 'Its been so long since I visited a good library, I'm sure I'm going to be spending alot of time in here soon.' While Misuki continued to stare in wonder at the stucture of the building and its books, a kind voice penatrated her thoughts asking if she needed help with anything. Turning to face the owner of the voice, Misuki noticed a middle aged women sitting behind the receptionist desk. Blushing a bit from embrassessment, Misuki shook her head and began heading towards a random row of books. Taking out a random book from the shelves, Misuki opened it to a random page and began reading while waiting for Deil to join her.

Deil entered the building after Misuki and took a moment to look at the high vaulted ceiling and all the books. He turned around to see that Misuki had already grabbed book. He crossed the distance between them, and read over her shoulder. "Wow, you found one fast. What's it about?" He looked at the page she was reading. She was just kinda running her eyes over it, but as far as he could tell she was seriously reading. He read the chapter title at the top margin of the left page, which said, "Sexual Performance Enhancers." Deil was taken aback and stumbled back a few steps. WHAT! WHY ON EARTH IS SHE READYING THAT?!?!
"Uh...uh..." he stuttered, blushing blood red. "I...I'm gonna go look for a book. I'll meet you at that table." He pointed toward a nearby table, and then ran off toward the history section. OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! Calm down Deil, CALM DOWN!" He stopped at a random isle, and began searching the covers for something interesting to take his mind off what he just saw. He found a book, "Clans and Bloodlines: Their past glories and their secrets. Well, I guess some dirt would get my mind off of that. He headed back to the table, and sat down to begin his reading. He searched for any groups of interest in the index, and listened for Misuki's approach.

Misuki SindoueSindoue clan | Suna | GeninMisuki was a bit surprised at the stuff that was written within the book but continued to skim the page just for the h*** of it. 'Great, just my luck to pick out some random book about how to enchance your sexual performance when I'm currently holding onto these feelings about Deil...' Misuki broke out of her thoughts when she heard Deil approach her, blushing slightly when she felt him looking over her shoulder. Hearing him stuttered before rushing away, Misuki giggled and closed the book shut before returning it to it's original place on the shelf. 'Maybe it wasn't so bad to pick out such a random book. His reaction was kinda cute...s***! There I go again with the random thoughts.' Misuki released a tired sigh before walking over to where Deil was currently sitting and reading. Taking a seat beside him, Misuki ploped her right elbow onto the table and rested her head in the palm of her hand before turning to face Deil. 'He seems to be really into whatever it is that he's currently reading...' "So what are you reading Deil? Anything I shouldn't be catching you reading?" Misuki asked in a teasing tone, referencing to him catching her reading something totally random a few moments ago.
{lol, you weren't kidding when you said you were bored. By the way, seems you missed my edit. I kinda realized I didn't include much info on what I did when my RPC made it to the bookshelf and edited right before I left but oh well, I'll edit it to fit yours.}

Deil Grist
Sand Village|Genin|Genjuu Kinzoku Bloodline Deil smiled and glanced up at Misuki. "Yeah, I'm looking at positions at the moment. I may go rent a movie after this." He gave her a sly look, and then continued to read the index. He found one that said, "Extermination scandal." He had heard about a few exterminations, including his and Misuki's, but this interested him. He found his bloodline at the top, and began to read. "So, did you not find something you wanted to read? I'm assuming you didn't mean to read that." He looked up and gave her a wink before turning his head to read further down the page. He could feel her body heat radiating slightly through the dry desert air, which always seemed somewhat cold during winter in the desert. No matter how much you tried to heat it, it always seemed a little chilly. He scooted his body in his chair a little closer to her, so as to share some body heat. So far he had only read about his clan's basic history, which he already knew. [Oh, well I'm sorry I didn't notice. XD Well, let's try to have fun with it. 3nodding Don't worry, I cooked up a nice twist for our RPCs' relationship twisted It shouldn't change things too much, but it will add some suspense. whee I wonder, should I keep using smileys every sentence? O.o' Its very addictive. mrgreen ]

Misuki SindoueSindoue clan | Suna | GeninMisuki blinked a few times at Deil's sudden question since her brain was a bit slow at registering it but once it registered, Misuki blushed and quickly stammered out a reply. "Wha...what?! Of cour...course not...I mean, why would I need to read something like that...I mean sure that book had some interesting tips...its not like I really need it..." Realizing that she's be uttering some non-important information, Misuki quickly stopped talking and instead proceeded to place both hands on the table and lean her head on them. In the protective covers of her arms, Misuki muttered out something that probably made more sense, "...besides, I'm after some taijutsu scrolls, I think its about time I start training in a certain style." When she felt Deil move closer, Misuki blushed and was interally grateful that he can't see her face right now.
{lol, the smileys are really enjoyable to see. Makes what you type up in OOC much more fun to read so keep it up.}

Deil Grist
Sand Village|Genin|Genjuu Kinzoku Bloodline Deil smiled at Misuki's flustered speech. Geeze, she's so cute, and she doesn't even have to try...come on Deil. Remember, no advanced relationship thoughts until she's settled all that family stuff. He continued to read and enjoy her body warmth. Then, he got to the section that caught his attention. The section read:
Two clans were hunted down to near extinction at nearly the same time, however the two massacres are linked in a dark way. The battle hungry part of the Genjuu Kinzoku bloodline, which happened to be the majority of the clan, was contracted to kill the Sindoue clan at a very nice price by a rich aristocrat in the Sound village.
The Genjuu were more than happy to comply, and said they would do the job for free since they had been looking for a good foe to fight. The aristocrat gave them Sound garments to make it look like a rouge division of the Sound military had defected and targeted the clan, and the Genjuu slaughtered the Sindoue clan's camp in the Sound village.
After exterminating all the clan members, the the Genjuu headed back to the Cloud village, only to be ambushed on the way by assassins hired by the same aristocrat and wiped out. Presumably all but a few children of both clans survived the attack, and neither clan's history says what the other has done due to the fact that any survivors would have been too young to write it on a clan scroll. Whether either clan has surviving members is a mystery.
Deil was sweating by the time he had finished reading this. How could she stay friends with me knowing that my clan killed hers for pleasure? He glanced down at Misuki, and remembered the pact they had made out in the sands. She trusts me, and if she truly trusts me then she will put this behind her. I know that she will take it hard, and we may never get past it, but I have to let her know. "Misuki, there is something here you need to read." He slid the book in front of her to read, and put his hands on the table in his meditation hand sign. His eyes closed, his head bowed, and his brow was furrowed in concentration over this sudden revelation. All he could do now is wait for her response.

Misuki SindoueSindoue clan | Suna | GeninWhile resting her head in her hands, Misuki found herself calming down and was even close to drifting off to sleep when she suddenly heard Deil talk to her in shaky tone. Curious as to what could've cause so much distress in such a short amount of time, Misuki forced herself to stay awake for just a bit longer. "Hm? What is it Deil?" Misuki asked worriedly as she lifted her head up to glance at the book Deil had just slid in front of her. As her eyes fell upon the pages of the book, her mind was able to spot her clan name almost immediately. Glancing through that section, Misuki also noticed Deil's clan name as well. Seeing both their clan names in one section cause her interest in a intriging yet disturbing way. 'I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this...' Sitting upright, Misuki slid the book closer to her as she located the top of the passage with her right index finger...
As soon as she finished reading the last words on the page, Misuki suddenly felt sick as she tried to comprend what she just read and how she's currently feeling. 'This isn't good, I think I need to get out of here and just clear my thoughts.' Standing up, Misuki was prepared to just leave but she recalled his shaky tone and knew that leaving wasn't going to do anything but hurt him. 'Besides, he's properly just as surprised as me. It's best we talk this through.' Turning to face Deil, Misuki gave him a small smile, while closing the book, "Hey...let's take a walk okay? It might be best if we talk about this...so...how about heading back to that training camp area?"
{Neat twist.}

Deil Grist
Sand Village|Genin|Genjuu Kinzoku Bloodline Deil had a falling feeling when she stood up without saying a word, and he thought she was just going to walk out on him. Come on. Not that. When she asked him to walk with her, he was somewhat relieved, but he still had a knot in his stomach. He stood up, and pushed their chairs in. "Yeah, I think we should. Do you think we should get supplies from my place, or will we be there for only a little?" [Thanks, I've been wanting to try it for awhile, and thought it would be a cool way to get your character to talk. So are we talking to each other in transit, or once we get out of the village and into the training area?]

Misuki SindoueSindoue clan | Suna | GeninMisuki considered Deil's question for a moment before walking around him and towards the door. "Might be best if we take some supplies with us since that place is a fair distance away and I don't think we would want to risk running back to Suna in the dead of night after having just returned from the chunnin exams." Placing her left hand over her sound device, Misuki changed the tune from it's regular slow simple beat to something more complex.

{There. Silence = suspense and it's easier to just type it all up there.}

Mitsuki was walking through the streets of the town when she came across the library. She stopped short and looked up at the strongly built structure before tilting her head to one side, her black hair moving with the motion "Now when did this get here?!" She asked herself curiously before shaking her head a bit. "I really need to pay more attention to things like this." Deciding she would check out the typed of books the library had in stock, she gently pushed open the doors and walked in.
