 Surrounded by a high wall with but a single large, wooden gate allowing entry or exit, many have never seen more than the very top of the Hyuuga's abode. Secretive by nature, the Hyuuga very rarely allow anyone outside of their family to enter, a precaution against those that would try to steal their family techniques. The large home is easily large enough to house the entire Hyuuga family comfortably, with servants to help run the day to day affairs of the house. Aside from the living quarters, there is a large dojo in the compound's central courtyard, hidden on all sides by the house itself.

Sensor || Hyuuga || Taijutsu || Akatsuki || Tactical Shibobi
Chakra: 30|| Stamina: 27|| Status: Healthy || Byakugan: Inactive "The world has forgotten the evil of the Bijuu...Walking up to the large gateway barring entrance into the Hyuuga estate, Atsureki lifted a hand to knock on one of the two massive wooden doorways. This was the first time in nearly three years since he had even seen another Hyuuga, and if he was being honest with himself, the young Hyuuga couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. It was true that he was here in large part to help gather information on Konoha, and the Jinchuuriki in particular, but he also hoped to be able to further his training. The scrolls that Sai had acquired for him had taught him much, but to learn from a Master of the Gentle Fist, that was an opportunity Atsureki would pay dearly for.... I intend to help them remember." Supplies:

X The afternoon sun shone down on the large, regal manor that was the Hyuuga compound. In it, members fluttered about here and there. A meeting was holding place at the moment and seldom members lingered in the compound as most were out on missions for the new Hokage, participating in the meeting, or studying at the academy. For one particular individual with snow white hair and the trademark Hyuuga lavender eyes this was her day off from missions. The young woman had deathly pale skin which was further emphasized with her cloud white sleeveless vest-like top, white ankle length boots, and elbow high sleeves. The only earthly tones on the young woman would be her black shorts, weights, and elbow length black glove. Her hair was bundled up into a high ponytail using a pale blue ribbon and around her left arm rested her Konoha headband. This strangle girl clad in white was known throughout the compound mainly by her title of Mikomi-dono's attendant. Few addressed her as she was a branch family member but the few that do, know her as Kira.
Today was known as her day of rest but aside from being a shinobi of Konoha, Kira was also a dutiful servant under the Hyuuga head. Like her mother and father before her she would serve the family with honor and diligence. Right hand raising up to her forehead, Kia imagined the seal that rested behind her snow white hair. It was a reminder of her placement in life and Kira was never one to really dwell over her current disposition. It was just that as she was making her rounds that afternoon, she couldn't help but feel an urge to feel it. 'Its probably just my bangs...I really should get them cut soon but I rather not...they do such a good job of hiding the mark...' Procuring a bow to some passing main branch members, Kira waited till they were out of sight to raise her head and continue on with her duties. Mikomi-dono was out on a mission from the Hokage which meant she would be free to enjoy her day as soon as she finished her chores around the compound. Her chores include tidying up Mikomi-dono's study, room, and equipment as well as her lady's laundry and overall well-being. On certain days like today, she would also be expected to help with meal preparations. As of now though, Kira had completed everything on her list was on her way to pick some fresh flowers for her lady's room. Once done, she would be free until it was time to help prepare tonight's meal. 'Wonder what type of flowers I should gather for Mikomi-dono tonight?'
In order to get to the garden, Kira had to pass by the massive gateway leading out of the compound. As she did so, she heard a rather loud knock. Pausing in her steps, Kira took a moment to glance around the area. At the moment there was no one around. 'Guess the guards are on break. Things have been rather peaceful so guard shifts aren't as strict at the moment...' Deciding she might as well see who it was, Kira made her way over to the large gates and began to push open the left door. 'It's strange though, I clearly remember that no one was expecting visitors today. Could the Hokage be needing us for something?' Stopping once the door was opened enough for just her to slip through. Kira put herself between the opening and the unknown male. At first glance, the male could appear to be any older then her whom was 19 at the moment and he didn't appear hostile. She also noted that no headband was present which kicked the Hokage summon theory out the window. What did intrigue Kira were the young male's eyes which were of the same blank white canvases of all Hyuuga members. Clearing her throat, Kira stared straight into the male's eyes as she began her inquiry. "Good afternoon. How may I be of assistance?" Her tone was soft but clear enough that the male before her should have no problem hearing. His appearance still triggered her curiosity and hopefully his answer will shed some light on things.

(Thankies Lilly mrgreen ) Atsureki Hyuuga
Eyes of the Crimson Dawn
Sensor || Hyuuga || Taijutsu || Akatsuki || Tactical Shibobi
Chakra: 30|| Stamina: 27|| Status: Healthy || Byakugan: Inactive "The world has forgotten the evil of the Bijuu...As the large gate slid open on its hinges, Atsureki took a step back as a woman clad in white appeared in the archway. Getting a better look at the woman, Atsureki realized that it was not just her clothes that were white, her hair, skin, and of course her eyes, all seemed to be the same pale white. What a strange duality we have here today, the woman in white and the man in black, like yin and yang personified, quite appropriate given our shared heritage,, the proud young Hyuuga thought to himself, a thoughtful smirk appearing on his face at his musing. Unsure of the woman's position, Atsureki bowed just low enough for his head to be level with the woman's chest before rising to his full height once more."And a good afternoon to you as well, my name is Haseo Hyuuga, proud member of Sunagakure's Main Branch. I have traveled far from home, and had hoped to visit with my family, and if possible, to learn from my brothers and sisters of Konoha", Atsureki said in a formal tone. It had been many years since he had been amongst his clansmen, but he had never forgotten the importance of birth to the Hyuuga; indeed his own place in the family was one of his many points of pride. Though Konoha was the village of his family's origin, the clan's influence had spread across all the five of the Great Shinobi Villages. As the Main Branch spread to each village however, it had become a controversial issue as to who had the best claim to the position of Clan Head; and more specifically whether or not those that claimed to be members of the Main Branch from villages outside of Konoha should have any rights to the position at all.I wonder what this woman's position on the matter is?, Atsureki wondered, curious to see how this woman would respond to his introduction. He had little doubt that he would be admitted entry, after all, even with the tension amongst the different villages' branches, they were still family. The real question was, how much information would he be able to extract from them.... I intend to help them remember." Supplies:

X Lavender white eyes bore themselves into the dark male before her as she awaited his response. 'He doesn't seem to be of the village and as far as I know, no Hyuuga has left the compound in ages to reside elsewhere...no headband either...' Right hand gently pressed against the wooden door, Kira's left fingers began flexing slightly in preparation. As much as Kira puts faith in the Konohagakure gate-force, it was still not beneath her to have her doubts. When the male gave her a low respectable bow though, Kira was taken a back but held her ground. There have been tales of people who act sincere at the start only to pull a sneak attack. She herself fell for that type of stunt once before during a harsh training session under her father. She has never failed to catch any attempts of a false front ever since. 'And lets not make this the first...' Flashing the male a small, gracious smile when he arose back to his full height. Kira could tell that he was a good inch or so taller then her. 'Height isn't all there is to a person though...'
His words surprised and worried her at the same time. He was of the Sunagakure Main Branch and though every Hyuuga was of the same blood, the division of clansmen amongst the five great nations have brought about great tension and struggle. 'So he's one of the few members with whom Mikomi-dono is up against in the running for Clan Head...' Kira was by all means not a bias person but to hear so suddenly that one of their fellow clansmen wished to enter then domain brought about a series of questions for the young Hyuuga attendant. 'We've received no word of this and even if the families aren't on the best of terms with one another, at least a letter or note should have been sent beforehand...' Recalling almost instantly of her position, Kira brought her right hand down and clasped it over her left. Hands over her legs, Kira cautiously brought her head down for a low, respectable bow. "Pardon my rudeness Haseo-dono. My name's Hyuuga Kira and I serve under Konohagakure's Hyuuga Heiress Mikomi-dono."
Rising back up, Kira made sure to keep her gazed lowered but her mind wide open in case of attacks. His identity was still questionable but for now she would go along with it. Her brain was her best asset and she will be insane to not use it to the best of her advantage. "You're going to have to excuse me for the next bit Haseo-dono as we've received no word beforehand of your arrival. Was this trip unplanned for you sir?" Her words were composed and respectful. For now, she will keep up the ruse of an uninformed servant and continue a line of questioning. Wording was the key thing here and Kira was more then prepare to not give away any clues of her suspicions.
{Np! ^^ And I don't mind the tension thing. It actually makes sense so now worries. smile }

(good, good, didn't want to overstep my bounds or anything) Atsureki Hyuuga
Eyes of the Crimson Dawn
Sensor || Hyuuga || Taijutsu || Akatsuki || Tactical Shibobi
Chakra: 30|| Stamina: 27|| Status: Healthy || Byakugan: Inactive "The world has forgotten the evil of the Bijuu...At the young woman's words, Atsureki lifted a curious eyebrow at her form of address and her mention of service to another. As she began to ask her questions, Atsureki's questioning stare quickly became a look of comprehension. Without saying a word, Atsureki lifted a single hand towards the woman's face, not so quickly as to cause alarm, but without any hesitation in the motion, as if to say that he had every right to invade the woman's personal space. Lifting the woman's snowy bangs away from her forehead, Atsureki's expression remained stoic as he said simply, "I see." Placed upon the woman's brow, intended for all the world to see, so that they might know the woman's place, was the curse seal of the Hyuugas' lesser branches. Letting his hand drop back to his side, the sleeve of his kimono falling well past his fingertips, Atsureki said matter-of-factly, "It has been many months since I have been in Sunagakure, were that not the case I would have had a messenger hawk sent ahead of me. I have been training under the guidance of one Mori Watunaki; I was never formally made a shinobi of Sand you see, and so was able to travel and train as I pleased. Though his training has been most helpful, there are techniques that he will unfortunately never be able to show me, as you can well imagine. And so we began to make our way here, to the land of the Hyuuga's birth. My apologies to your mistress if it is an inconvenience."
Though the proud young Hyuuga's words held none of the respect he had shown the young woman earlier, there was no venom in them either, his tone almost seeming bored. He simply gave her as much information as he believed necessary to be allowed into the compound, and no more. His position in the clan was higher than this Kira woman's, as they both knew well, giving her little room to question his story.... I intend to help them remember." Supplies:

X No sooner had she reached the end of her question did the male before her raised his arm. His arm wasn't moving fast as one would expect from an attack. Instead, the hand raised was steady and held authority. Setting aside her anxiety, Kira was left to finish her inquiry and wait in silence as the man brushed his warm, large hand against her bangs. Kira knew instantly what it was he was looking at and keeping her gaze lowered, allowed for the male to observe her mark. 'Might have been a bad move on my part but if I was caught later on acting above my rank, I would suffer a punishment much worst then setting myself into a tricky situation.' At the man's curt response when he retreated his hand, Kira already knew what to expect. Gone would be the openly hospital man and instead a superior would stand before her. 'The only one here who actually tries to connect the two bridges is Mikomi-dono...I highly doubt it will be any different with this man...'
Her speculations were correct as the male began to speak again. This time in a rather bored tone of voice that held her in no regards. She was simply a messenger...an unidentified personal working under the main branch. 'His tale seems particularly interesting...wasn't there a small heated discussion about an runaway Hyuuga heir about two years ago?' Kira had no proof if this young man before was really that young boy from the discussion and back then, she wasn't able to pick up on much either as her duty that day was to just bring in the tea and serve them. She had acted silently and efficiently, bringing no attention to herself as taught. This allowed for the elders to continue there discussion without fear or need of acknowledging her presence. 'But still...an intriguing tale...Watunaki Mori...I don't believe I've heard of such a name...' Sticking to appearances though, Kira procured a small silent nod in response to the man's last statement.
She was hesitant in regards to granting the male entrance into the compound but as shown by his change in demeanor, she had no right to question. Nor would her current status give her the right to turn him out as well. 'Guess I could let him in...the elders are still in a meeting though...' Pushing the door our fully, Kira had her back to the edge of the door while giving Haseo another low bow. "After you sir." In regards to his interest in learning the Hyuuga arts, Kira will inform him about the situation shortly after he enters the compound.
{lol yeah. 3 years in confinement hasn't exactly helped his attitude much. XP}

Eyes of the Crimson Dawn
Sensor || Hyuuga || Taijutsu || Akatsuki || Tactical Shibobi
Chakra: 30|| Stamina: 27|| Status: Healthy || Byakugan: Inactive "The world has forgotten the evil of the Bijuu...As the woman opened the door and motioned for him to proceed, the young Hyuuga swept past without a second glance at the girl. Walking along the cobbled pathway to the manse's ornate double doors, the symbol of the Hyuuga clan carved into it's lacquered surface, the anxiousness he had felt before returned in full. It's almost like coming home... if home was filled with a multitude of people that would likely kill me on the spot, branded as a traitor, were they to figure out my true identity. Atsureki smiled lightly as he mused to himself, pushing open the doors before striding confidently through the grand entrance hall, moving with a lithe and deadly swagger. Sharp eyes darting around the complex, Atsureki could feel the presence of several powerful chakra signatures emanating from further in the heart of the estate.
Glancing over his shoulder, Atsureki's brief smile faded at the sight of the pale Hyuuga following him. Likely I will not be rid of this one until I leave this place, Atsureki thought to himself in annoyance, If I'm to be stuck with her, then perhaps I can use her to my advantage. Looking forward, Atsureki continued to walk through the complex, using his senses to help navigate towards the strong chakra signatures he felt, as he said, "Tell me... Kira, where is your mistress? Will I have the pleasure of meeting her today?"... I intend to help them remember." Supplies:

X Maintaining a neutral face as she bowed, Kira found it unsurprising as the young Hyuuga heir swept his way past her without so much as a word. 'He really is no different from the rest...' Rising back up to her full height, Kira momentarily allowed for the man to leave her sights as she quickly pulled back the huge gate door. With the compound securely closed off once more, Kira swiftly made her way back over to the young male who identified himself as Haseo. Keeping to the standard 3ft feet distance from master to servant, Kira's hands never left their spot from in front of her legs as she continued to follow the man through his walk through the manor. Though it irked her too see the man walk around like he owned the place, Kira also really had no right to speak up against it. For now, she will see if he was indeed heading towards where he thought he was heading and keep an eye out for suspicious activity.
The fact that Haseo almost automatically know where to go came off as strange for Kira as she sworn she had never seen this man before in her life of service. Even as a babe, she would be brought along to the main house to observe the inner workings of the household. She mainly stuck to her mother who was the attendant for most events dealing with outside guests and Kira felt confident that this young lad had never once made his way into this compound. 'So I guess that must mean he holds the trait to pick up on chakra signatures...either way, his way of maneuvering around the place is disrespectful. Though he may be granted permission to enter the compound, he is still a guest. To walk like he owns the place...he might not know of the meeting going on but it would be most polite if he actually questioned the existence of the other members before making his way around the compound.'
With the two nearing dangerously close to the meeting hall, Kira decided that enough was enough and raising her head a bit was about to speak out against this suspicious male when he spoke out to her first. Taking in a deep breath in and out, Kira relaxed both her body and mind. She should not get riled up so easily. It was unsightly and very much beneath her training. Gaze settling on the man's feet, Kira spoke in her normal soft, respectable voice. "Mikomi-dono is currently out in the training grounds performing a mission for our Lady Hokage. Mikomi-sama prefers to act out her missions alone. I know not how soon she may return to the compound as teaching missions are rather unstable in terms of time." Pausing a bit for air, Kira took a moment to debate over her next words but in the end decided to say them. "As to your destination sir, I would recommend you not to take another step further. The elders are in a meeting right now and disturbance of any kind is not well received." Eyes still cast downward, Kira readied herself against any out lashes Haseo might have against her words. She was by no mean being disrespectful but most people, especially Main Branch members, hated when those beneath them spoke out of turn. They had every right to wander these halls but they do not so they should not question where their masters may guide them. So for Kira to even bring up such a thing was rather bold on her part. It might also hint that she was picking up on his abilities as a sensor. Something that a lower branch member like her should not be snooping into.

Eyes of the Crimson Dawn
Sensor || Hyuuga || Taijutsu || Akatsuki || Tactical Shibobi
Chakra: 30|| Stamina: 27|| Status: Healthy || Byakugan: Inactive "The world has forgotten the evil of the Bijuu...Half listening to the pale-haired Hyuuga, Atsureki continued walking, turning abruptly from time to time as he closed in on the group of chakra signatures. At her mention of her mistresses' absence from the estate, the proud young Hyuuga simply nodded to himself. Turning a final corner, Atsureki smirked at the sight of a single sliding door, the feel of chakra signatures he had been honing in on emanating from behind the meager barrier. Taking a single step, Atsureki stopped as the woman abruptly spoke out, cautioning him against proceeding into the room. Turning to face the woman, Atsureki settled his gaze on her, his pale eyes piercing in their intensity.
Silently he stood there, his face stoic, letting the woman feel the full force of his gaze as he thought over what she said. A strange coincidence to assume she knew my destination... a clever one indeed to have figured out that I was purposefully seeking out the elders. But does she simply think that I've used the Byakugan, or has she figured out my special talent?, Atsureki wondered to himself, more intrigued by the woman's insight than he was annoyed by her words. He had known many of his kin to snap at even the hint of disrespect from one of the lesser Branch's members, but much like his father, Atsureki had never seen the point. In his mind, to allow himself to be affected by the actions of one of his lesser cousins would be akin to lashing out at the buzzing of a fly. One does not yell at a fly for buzzing around their head, why waste the effort of sparing a thought for the pitiful creature. No, he was not angered by her words, he was not even irritated. He felt nothing."I see... very well. Tell me, do the Hyuuga of Konoha have a personal dojo? I fear I am not accustomed with the other Hyuuga estates, but I had assumed that we all shared that tradition at least", Atsureki said, his tone holding little emotion. He needed something to pass the time, and with little else to do at the Akatsuki's base, training had been his only effective means of doing so for many years, and seemed as good anything at this particular moment.... I intend to help them remember." Supplies:

______Hyuuga Kira__________ XXKonohagakure | Hyuuga | Branch Family | Chuunin | NPC X

X No sooner had she finished speaking did she feel the intense gaze of the Hyuuga heir directly at her person. The intensity pierced through her defenses and as mentally and physically prepared as Kira was, the idea of death by stare was still something she rather not suffer by. With such an intensity, Kira forgot all her suspicions at the moment and was only able to let two dominant thoughts flow. Main Branch member and Lower Branch member. This was a situation that she had be away from for a good part of the last 9 years since falling under Mikomi's services and the fact that she did not know if he would actually strike her or lash out at her made her tense. It was strange though considering how rational Kira had always been on the battlefield but her upbringing has made facing other Hyuuga members, mainly those of the main branch a wedge. It was something embedded deep within her subconscious and Kira knew that in order to keep advancing the ranks, she would someday need to learn to drive up that wedge.
Haseo's words came out dry. Much different from how the other Hyuuga members had treated Kira in the past. Unlike those who would spite her with words, physical hits, usage of the seal, or a combination of the three, Haseo's treatment of her was that of indifference. To him, she held no worth so he sees no meaning in dealing with her minor offense. At least that is what Kira's mind was able to gather despite the haze of confusion. At the knowledge of Haseo's lack of open punishment, Kira allowed herself to relax somewha though she was still suffering from the intensity of his gaze, an deep, hard-core intensity that she's only felt once before when she accidentally allowed for Mikomi to get injured under her watch. She was punished deeply for it and her only means of escape was from Mikomi's constant pleas for her release. The scars she received from that day are still present on throughout her body, most of which remain covered by her attire. The scar on the back of her neck though if seen at the right angle would reveal a light jagged scar running diagonally across. For most, such a light coloured scar would mean nothing but for someone as deathly pale as Kira, light, stood out. 'His approach to things are...different to say the least. His views of lower branch members are the same but his treatment of them is a different story... intriguing indeed.'
Maintaining her form right now, Kira dared not raise her head in fear of it being seen as a challenge to his rank. As much as he viewed them as 'nothing', Kira rather not push her luck. Cause if pushed, even one who views things as 'worthless' will raise a hand. "We do Haseo-dono. If it pleases you, allow me to guide you there." Kira's words was short, straight-forward, and respectful. Her position wasn't the best at the moment but this will give her a chance to secretly observe the man's style. Some say how one performs a taijutsu style is a representation of themselves, much how someone writes, can tell you a lot. Kira begged nothing on posture and attitude as those can be easily altered to fit ones needs. A fighting style was different. There was only you and the moves before you. How you presented that move was up to one's interpretation and frame of mind. For Kira, hers was more delicate and held-back but when an opening appears she would take it in full stride, hitting hard and fast towards her target. Even so, her moves would remain delicate and fair. Hands still clasped together, Kira waited silently for Haseo's response.
{Haha...yeah...was suppose to post this like last night but fell asleep. >< Sry. Also, in your post feel free to have it that Kira directs you through the compound and into a grand dojo. Kira would then slid the door open for Haseo before going down on her knees and sitting on her legs with her back straight, and hands over her lap. Her gaze would be directed into the dojo but lowered. She would remain there as an 'invisible' attendant, only acting when addressed. Hence why she's remaining 'outside' of the dojo.}

(sorry for the wait, been busy with work, nice post btw) Atsureki Hyuuga
Eyes of the Crimson Dawn
Sensor || Hyuuga || Taijutsu || Akatsuki || Tactical Shibobi
Chakra: 30|| Stamina: 27|| Status: Healthy || Byakugan: Inactive "The world has forgotten the evil of the Bijuu...Not bothering to nod, Atsureki merely waited for the woman to begin leading, his thoughts already wandering to more important matters. Now was his time to come up with a plan. How might I coax out the answers I seek from this woman? The proud, young Hyuuga asked himself, letting his eyes wander as he silently followed in the woman's foot-steps. The house was exquisitely decorated, as befit the noble Hyuuga Clan, the corridors lined with fine tapestries, depicting great battles dating centuries before the rise of the great Shinobi Villages, lavish carpets imported from the Land of Snow, and exquisite sculptures from the Land of Earth. As the first of the Hyuuga's estates, Konoha had always enjoyed the privilege of being the wealthiest of the houses in the Main Branch Schism. Once we've seized the Bijuu, and shown the world the true path, I will see the Hyuuga of Suna take their rightful place at the top, but that day is not today, Atsureki swore to himself, with a sigh. Eyes focusing back on reality as he awoke from his reverie, his pale eyes widened for a brief moment at the sight of the structure before him. The expertly constructed dojo stood at just a single story, keeping it well hidden to the outside world from within the heart of the Hyuuga's estate, rice paper windows allowing the light of the sun to grace its interior. In front of the building stood three training dummies, each almost identical to the ones waiting at the Akatsuki's hidden mountain fortress. Emblazoned on the sliding wooden doors was the symbol of the Hyuuga, the Yin-Yang, but subtly carved into the wood were the eight trigrams as he had come to recognize from the scrolls he had learned from for years.
Marveling for a moment at this structure, likely one of the oldest buildings in all of Konoha, Atsureki stood in silence as the pale Hyuuga woman opened the doors for him before lowering herself to the ground to rest on her knees. Wordlessly, Atsureki shrugged out of his kimono, revealing a lean and muscular torso, well toned from hours spent toiling under the guidance of his Master. Walking to one of the training dummies in the training yard and draping the fine black cloth over its shoulders, he then moved to another of the dummies and placed a hand on its forehead. Closing his eyes, Atsureki focused for a moment to channel chakra into his hand before shooting it straight into the dummy. Veins bulging around his eyes suddenly, the proud young Hyuuga opened his eyes as the world shifted to the chakra spectrum, the whole of the Hyuuga compound becoming visible to him as he did.
He could see the Elders, huddled in discussion though he could not make out their words, as well as lower branch members busily tending to the tasks required to maintain the grandiose home of the Hyuuga, but his attention was on the dummy in front of him. As he had expected, the dummy shared the same property as those he was used, the ability to replicate the chakra circulatory system with the application of chakra. Falling into the first trigram, Atsureki took a deep breath before cocking his right hand back, palm open. Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm Atsureki thought to himself as his hand launched forward to strike at the center of the dummy's torso before quickly sidestepping an imagined blow to put himself on the right side of his "opponent".
Shifting his stance to the Third Trigram, hands curled with index and middle fingers held erect, Atsureki quickly lashed out at his opponents exposed neck with the left hand, Strike of Pain. Taking a step back as his opponent reeled from the sharp pain of his attack, the young Hyuuga wasted no time as he quickly shifted into the Fourth Trigram before moving to stand behind his opponent. Hands flashing forward and back, like the striking of twin snakes, Atsureki struck at the tenketsu located in the torso, starting at the center and working his way outward. Cocking both arms back for the final blow, the ebony haired Hyuuga thought to himself, Eight Trigrams: Thirty-Two Palms,, before thrusting both hands forward both to strike on either side of the spine of the opponents lower back. [Training Speed: 1/50]
Taking a step back, Atsureki quickly swept his gaze over the dummy to make sure that each of the Tenketsu he had aimed for was struck. Nodding in satisfaction, Atsureki looked up from the dummy and began walking towards the dojo. Removing his shoes at the door, Atsureki bowed respectfully into the building before entering the hallowed ground. The room was not large, intended to allow just enough room for two to practice the Hyuuga's Art. Without looking over his shoulder, Atsureki spoke loud enough to gain the attention of the woman, "I desire to spar with a kinsman, even if you are of lower birth. If either of us is to use the higher tier of attacks, then no chakra should be applied to avoid unnecessary harm. If you need to warm-up, I suggest you do it now."
The proud young Hyuuga had a dual purpose in requesting to spar with the woman. Firstly he was truly curious to see what training this woman had and to see how it compared with his own self-teaching, but more importantly there were few truer means of communication than battle. Anger, happiness, tenderness, compassion, cruelty, all of these things and more became clear in the purity of combat. Indeed, in the heat of battle there was no hiding your true nature, making it an even purer form of communication than words could ever hope to be. A fight was the truest means of learning the heart of another, and if Atsureki was to coax out the information he needed, then he would need to know the heart of this woman.... I intend to help them remember." Supplies:

______Hyuuga Kira__________ XXKonohagakure | Hyuuga | Branch Family | Chuunin | NPC X
X
X When she failed to receive a response from the male, Kira took it as a sign to begin leading the way. Even though she already had the layout of the manor set into mind, Kira still preferred to marvel at the splendor that was the main house every time she passed through. Head up slightly higher, Kira was able to maintain a direct view of what was ahead without it being completely rose to its full height which could be taken as an indication that she thought she belonged. She knew better then that though, at the moment she was guide and nothing more. She was also a servant who's life was dedicated to the Hyuuga name and as such, she would die trying to protect those that belittled her and the few that cared for her should this man prove to be a threat. 'I still don't know yet if he is one or not but the suspicious sensation will not fade...this whole ideal is just way to strange and words are easily manipulated to fit ones needs...hence the shine taijutsu has to me. It shows me all that lays beneath,'
Reaching the separate building located within the heart of the grand Hyuuga compound, Kira silently made her way along the open wooden hallway or patio towards the front door of the dojo. Sliding open the high quality, rice paper windows, Kira would then take an addition step off to the side and lower herself properly into a kneeling position. Knees pressed firmly, yet loosely together her feet would be downright with her toes pressing to the rich maple wood flooring. Hands clasped and on her lap, Kira would sit with her back straight but head directed forward but not completely upright. This way she will get a view of what's going on without being directly involved. 'An invisible servant...only taking form when needed...'
Kira had expected for the young Hyuuga heir to proceed into the dojo to train but when he wordlessly shrugged out of his kimono, Kira was more then a little surprised. Sure she's been around half naked males before in terms of training but most of the time, people preferred to train full clothed. 'This is taijutsu...' Eyes subconsciously finding their way towards Haseo's exposed top, Kira noted the leanness and firmness of his torso. 'His muscles are also very well defined... definitely very much different from my assessment of him at first glance. He must have trained diligently to build his body up to such a standard...' Tearing her pale eyes from the male's body, Kira instead turned herself 90 degrees to adjust herself to his position outside of the dojo by the special training dummies. Upholding the proper posture that was expected of her kind, Kira continued to secretly observe this unknown male and his ways with the Byakugan.
From first glance, his stance would appear to Kira as somewhat off. Having studied under the definition of near-perfection labeled by the Hyuuga Clan, Mikomi-dono, his stance was off in a few places here and there. 'It could be just be the slight modification between schisms but why do I find myself doubting that. I would think all Main Branches push their heirs and heiress to skillfull master the art of Junken. 'We are a very traditional clan so I seldom doubt that the Sunagakure branch would do things any differently...maybe he's trying to branch out on his own? That would explain his travels outside of Sunagakure and his qualm about not having been made a formal shinobi of Suna. 'For a man his age, I would assume he would have already been blessed with a headband less then two years prior but then again, there are those who are withheld from the life of a shinobi should they get injured and taken out from the seat of inheritance....' Continuing on with her silent observations, Kira saw his techniques to be fast by hastily performed. 'To be blunt, they appear to be rather rash...just how much training did he receive from the Suna head? Also...could there be a reason behind why he's so anxious? Most say anxiety is what brings about rashness in combat...' His precision though, was rather top notch and even Kira would have to attest to that. 'Rash but is able to calmly know where to place his moves...such contradictions...but its given me an opportunity to gather more information about his person. Now if only I could witness a spar...that would be most ideal...'
Yes, a spar would have been most ideal but so far the man's disposition has shown that it would be highly unlikely for him to propose such an offer. It was to be expected though as the only one who would ever go so far as to secretly teach Kira the ways of the Junken as a way of defense was Mikomi and even then, they had to be highly cautious. Kira is knowledgeable and given her place by Mikomi's side she was also a great threat. Even with the seal, there were many ways for Kira to drag Mikomi down before falling as well. Hence why the clan made sure to limit all her resources. They would get her to be strong, strong enough to protect Mikomi and yet weak enough that their precious heiress would not fall by her hands. Its ironic really how things work in such a conversational clan but Kira was not here to judge she was here to serve and serve she will.
Readjusting her position so that she moved along with Haseo, Kira's body would be aligned with the straight panel flooring as Haseo made his way down the pathway towards the dojo entrance. Silence hung over the air as Haseo removed his shoes and set them by the door. Smiling in approval of his bow, it would seem that the male was at least taught within the confines of a proper dojo at some point in his life. 'The fact that he spent months away from Sunagakure still troubles me but without knowledge as to who his companions were, I can't exactly say he left the clan home without word. That Mori Watunaki could very well be a respected Hyuuga member from Suna. Sadly...I've never heard of such a name either...and I've pretty much studied all the names of the important figure heads through Mikomi-dono...' Adjusting once more so that she would be aligned with the insides of the dojo's, Haseo's sudden request caught the pale girl by surprise and she stumbled ever so slightly in her composure. 'He wants to spar...? How odd...'
Despite the strangeness of it all the fact remains that she was given an opportunity to assess who exactly was this man was. This was an opportunity that she should not pass by and one which he left her little room to escape from. Bowing her head as was custom, Kira kept her head down as she spoke in soft tones. "As you wish Haseo-dono," Raising her head back up, Kira eased swiftly from her position on the ground and back into a standing one. Slipping off her boots as was customary, Kira gave another bow to the dojo before stepping in and making her way about 5ft away to stretch. Kira would start from the bottom up. Gently rotating her head in small circles, Kira would began to work out the kinks in her neck. Then she would move over to her shoulders, arms, and hips. When it came to her legs, Kira would fluidly slip into a split where her right was extended forward and her left towards her back. Reaching for her right foot, Kira would clasp her hands around it before leaning forward. She would continue to lean until her body could get no lower without bending her leg. In one quick motion, Kira would swipe the positions of her legs and do the same to her left. Once done, Kira would silently get back up to a standing position and rid herself of all shinobi gears. Setting them off by the wall next to the door. Kira made it so that if she had to escape, her weapons would be en-route.
Turning to face Haseo, Kira would give him another low respectful bow of her head before spreading out her legs in the most basic of Hyuuga stances before positioning her arms in an ready position. "Whenever you are ready to start Haseo-dono." Her stance would be light and loose. Not what one would generally expect from a Hyuuga. Their taijutsu required swift but grounded movements and if possible, it would be as if Kira was held on strings as her center of gravity was clearly not focused on grounding herself to the dojo floor. This was her take on the Hyuuga's Gentle Fist style. As a branch member, she was to been unseen so her style represents her style of life. She would not ground her feet as most taijutsulist as that would give her a sense of being and while she is a human by nature, she is but mere procession in the eyes of the Hyuuga.
{Sry about the comments regarding Atsureki's stance and training. Just assumed that since he was self-taught, there would be n obvious difference between how the moves were preformed. Sure scrolls will give you descriptions but they can only give one so much detail. If you needed that changed though I can edit. Also, thinking of Kira pulling off a 'stage six' move finisher unconsciously during the fight. Makes things interesting. XP} X

(No problemo, that actually makes sense so no worries, I kind of like the idea of him having a slightly off way of doing things, might make him less predictable or something, idk. Not entirely sure what kind of finisher she would be able to unwittingly pull off, but if you see the opportunity, I don't mind) Atsureki Hyuuga
Eyes of the Crimson Dawn
Sensor || Hyuuga || Taijutsu || Akatsuki || Tactical Shibobi
Chakra: 30|| Stamina: 26|| Status: Healthy || Byakugan: Inactive "The world has forgotten the evil of the Bijuu...Watching the young woman perform her stretches, Atsureki couldn't help but take notice of the woman's lithe form. Before he had seen her through the haze of a Main Branch member looking upon a Lower Branch member, but in combat one could not afford to underestimate their opponent, regardless of birth or status. Now he could see, as if for the first time, that she was not an unattractive woman, though compared to the lovely Zenko she was just another face in the crowd. As the woman finished up her stretches, Atsureki fell into the Second Trigram, wrapping his right hand behind his back while his left hand moved to his front, both palms facing the ground, as he thought to himself, this will not be my first fight of the day, and I doubt the same could be said of this woman, I will have to be mindful that I pace myself.At the woman's invitation for him to begin their bout, Atsureki silently advanced forward, taking short measured steps towards the woman. Once within striking distance, Atsureki shot his left hand forward, poised to strike at the woman's face, the back of his palm facing the woman. But as he drew his hand back midway, his strike was shown to be a feint. Lifting his left arm so that it would be level with the woman's chest, Atsureki quickly moved to slide his left foot behind the woman's own, before stepping forward and pushing into the woman's chest with his arm, attempting to gain a quick advantage by sweeping the woman off of her feet. It was a simple trap, not one many experienced fighters would fall into, a fact that the proud young Hyuuga knew well. He had little hope that the woman would fall for his simple attack, but his true purpose in opening with a sweep was to leave himself room to react to the woman's response.In a situation when one starts at a disadvantage, it is far better to try and force your opponent to make the first mistake and capitalize upon it. The real question is not whether she will defend against my attack or not, but how she will do so.... I intend to help them remember." Supplies:

X Feet light, Kira would maintain a steady, almost non-existence breathing rate. This was her way of maintaining her close to airy composure during fights. It also helped to steady her heart-rate. Large intakes of air would just quicken her heart rate and break her rhythm. Hence the importance of breath control when first starting out in the ways of taijutsu. 'Hm...I wonder how much stamina he has? His built is good but did he work towards endurance and stamina as well as his muscles?' Eyes still somewhat bowed as she maintained contact with her opponent, it would be evident that even in battle Kira kept to mind the different birth statuses.
When he advanced, Kira would remain rooted to her position, the only signs of movements being the slight shifting of her fingers. His steps were rather controlled for someone of his built and the silence of it all was unexpected. 'Even so, it just goes to show that he did receive some good training. Loud footwork will only bring out a waste of excess energy that could be channeled elsewhere. Also helps to give away one's location to a blinded opponent...' The fair distance between the two was easily crossed as Haseo's long stride brought him within striking range after only a few. His first hit would appear way to direct for Kira's liking as as far as she was concerned, Haseo did not seem one for such antics...or was she wrong?
Playing along, Kira would raise her right hand, palm out to block. Eyes still on Haseo though, Kira would notice the faint and quickly scanning his posture noticed the movement of his left feet. 'A sweep?' Kira would have time to worry about that as the rest of Haseo's body would follow through with the motion before his right hand would be thrust towards her chest. Exhaling at that moment, Kira would break out of stance for a bit as she steadied her right leg against Haseo's while she dropped down onto her left knee. Left toes would be bent as to raise the rest of her bottom leg up for easily counter movements. Not wasting anytime, Kira would then draw chrakra to her right and left index and middle finger as it shot them up towards two tekketsu points in his extended arm. Her counter was rather basic and far fetched so by no means did she mean to connected. What it would do was create an opening in which she would be able to swivel back into a standing position where she can then lower herself into one of the four triagrams taught to her by her father. 'Six...if we include what I've been taught by Mikomi-dono...'
{I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sry. >< Things happened these past few days and I wasn't able to get on as much as I wanted. SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY! >< Also...sry for the rather lacking post...btw...he shoved forward with his right? Argh...so sry. >< Really bad with close-range fights. ><
p.s. Not sure if I'm suppose to deduct chakra or not for my counter attack. ><} X
