 DANGER! DANGER!
♠ Shuniji FukuAre you ugly?
"Ggh--!"
Shuniji immediately jolted. "And?" "AND??!" SHUNIJI HADN'T BEEN EXPECTING 'AND?'!!
One quick, fear-based recovery later, Shuniji stared dully into darkness while pretending to be somewhere safer... like his home... or a pit... filled with lions.
"...I wish to know if I am to be given a new assignment to complete, and if so, when I may begin. I apologize for my forwardness!" Shuniji immediately bowed as deep as his stiffened spine would allow.
Mood: FFFFFFFFF
Status: Waiting
Thoughts: "Dear God... I know we don't talk much, but I'd like to request that whatever harm may befall me, that Seika... That Seika will get caught in the cross-fire. Thank you."  A liar, like me?
A user? A lost soul?
Someone you don't know?
Are you like me?
Are you... ugly?

There was a long and turbulent silence. It
went painfully on for what might have been
hours.
"Your ignorancccce impresssses me... as
per normal...."
Some of the enmity had left his voice and
had been replaced with terrible displeasure.
"You encountered membersssss of the Udai
counccccil on your lasssst mission... and
we where recccccently the sssssubject of
a witch hunt by the very sssssame organization.
Tell me... why didn't you kill thosssse who
witnesssssed you take the life of the Immortalsssss....?"

DANGER! DANGER!
♠ Shuniji FukuAre you ugly?
Shuniji all but stopped breathing at the revelation. 'Er... at least being called ignorant is better than it being thought I did that on purpose...' he thought hopelessly. Oh jeeze...
"I... I'm sorry, Lord Otokage... I sacrificed thoroughness for the sake of haste... and even that seems to have failed..."
"The Udai representatives didn't actually bear witness to Cao's death. When they questioned us, they had no more information than what was told to them by Ichite-ru Shujouteki. In return, I neither confirmed, nor denied their questions--they left with as much information as they came. I found this to be more prudent and less incriminating than killing the representatives outright. I apologize for the trouble I may have caused."
Shuniji bowed again and hoped he didn't come off as pretentious, but it was the truth. The Otokage knew he was enough of a sniveling brown-noser to know such wasn't the case, anyway.
Besides, this made a better argument than, "they were holding the boat hostage."
Mood: Anxious
Status: Scrambling
Thoughts: "They were talking about me at the Udai Council? :'D" A liar, like me?
A user? A lost soul?
Someone you don't know?

Despite all the tension and horrible discomfort Seika was feeling from this conversation, she couldn't help but smile...
It wasn't because the Otokage was getting angry....but just the exchange in words. The Otokage was playing with Shuniji maybe, picking at his head? Whatever it was, Seika found it funny.
Though she didn't speak or so much as giggle. Seika knew that she was still on the Otokage's s**t-list. Such a display of disrespect would certainly get her killed.
Though currently Seika had nothing to add to the conversation, this was all Shuniji.

The cold blood that ran through his veins now
ran through theirs.
"Next you ssssssee the one tailed hosssst...

Seeming to think on his next statement for a very

"However.... do not involve yoursssselvessss in

DANGER! DANGER!
♠ Shuniji FukuAre you ugly?
"M-My apologies, Lord Otokage... and of course... to all counts. I'll get it done." Shuniji answered. His voice was meek like a child's, but it was far clearer than the rattling sensation that was going through his head.
Still, the part of his brain that was still functioning was already trying to decide which job to tackle first. The Land of Fire, Shuniji decided, was closest, so he was leaning towards there as their first stop.
He knew better than to get his hopes up at the thought of both of their new targets being beast-less. While Shuniji was pleased with the idea of never facing down anything resembling a giant turtle again, he knew better than to underestimate the Immortals.
At a loss for what to say next, or if he should even bother speaking at all, Shuniji gave another bow.

DANGER! DANGER!
♠ Shuniji FukuAre you ugly?
Shuniji stood upright and blinked. For once, he was okay with being called a failure, as at least now the Otokage's voice drifted into a quasi-calm. Shuniji could stand there and take orders all day if it meant less of that horrible cold feeling he got when the Otokage was displeased.
Of course, this bit of information was distracting in of itself. New member? Mission without Seika? Jeeze, that hadn't happened outside of that one time, and that was only because she was kidnapped and believed to be dead.
Shuniji wondered if this Yukimura person was a promising genin the Otokage had seen at the Exams. His fists clenched as his curiosity reached its boiling point. He'd have to finish his missions quickly so that he could return and meet this newcomer.
...and by "meet," he meant "haze ruthlessly."

Seika's smile faltered as the Otokage spoke his orders. Chills ran up her spine. She'd be going alone? This would definitely be different for her. Though it's not like he ordered he to go kill somebody. It was a recruiting mission, which was fine. The only problem was, Seika didn't get along well with people. Let alone her own partner.
Oh well...she'd have to set her social issues aside for this one. Er...or at least try.
"As you wish..." Seika responded, sweeping a hand under her chest in a quick bow. 'Yuzuki Yukimura...' She noted to herself before turning her gaze over to Shuniji, giving him a small nod. There wasn't anything hostile about the way she looked at him, it was just her way of telling him good luck. His mission was much different than hers. Shuniji would need the luck.

All at once the dream ended. The world
joined the waking world as torches along
either side set alight. The presence was
absence. The world was "right" and had
much less depth of magnitude. It was
clear the audience was over.

It was a relief to wake up feeling a sense of normalcy again. Visits with the Otokage always made her feel sick and exhausted, mentally and physically.
Seika slowly stood up and wobbled a bit, taking a moment to regain her balance before trying to proceed. She often wondered why the Otokage was such a recluse. I mean really...he got all up in Shuniji's business when he had to use a shadow clone to attend the exams.
Maybe there was something he didn't want anybody to see, or find out?
"Ugh..." Seika groaned at her pounding head. She decided to walk it off and get going before she was thrown back in hell.

Theme
♠ Shuniji FukuAre you ugly?
Shuniji welcomed the jarring sensation of having the world melt back to normal with open arms. He exhaled deeply and rubbed his eyes tiredly. He hadn't slept in forever...
"Mmph... You can go on ahead. I'm gonna make a quick run past my apartment. Gonna go grab a shirt..." he paused a long moment to yawn, "And maybe a quick nap..."
Audiences with the Otokage caused Shuniji to either feel invigorated or drained. Today, despite the magnitude of his orders, was the latter.
"I'll meet you at the checkpoint before we head out..?" Shuniji asked without realizing. It was a strangely... friendly thing for him to say, considering the only times he ever showed remote interest in other was when there was potential payout for himself. He recovered quickly and crossed his arms haughtily, complete with condescending eyebrow quirk.
"You could use some pointers on talking to people."
While the statement may have been true, Shuniji was hardly the person to consult on such matters and he seemed to realize it as that was the last thing he said before stalking off down the hallway.

Fear and nervousness made Seika tense up as she trailed down the all too familiar dark hallway. Torches provided light, but no sense of ease. She had only been gone for a few days, but she still felt like she shouldn't be here. There was no sense in hiding the fact that Seika was getting stressed out.
At least it was dry?
Seika paused for a moment before continuing down the hallway and turned to meet Yuzuki's gaze. "You remember what I told you, right?" She questioned a bit worriedly. She didn't think Yuzuki forgot, it was more of a reminder. Though it was obvious that Seika was stressed out about being here. It was hard to tell if her body was shaking from the leftover water that settled on her skin from being out in the rain, or just absolute fear.
Possibly both?

I'm one Nightmare...
"Yes, I remember." Yuzuki replied at the young girl as she took in the surrounding area. What a strange place, this was. There was a prickling of terror that crawled up and down ones arms here, like when you feel a cold breath upon your shoulder and your body chills for a brief second before you rationalize it in your mind as something else. She liked this sort of thing, it was the reason that she watched horror movies and was interesting in ghost hunts. It was in the darkness that she found solice and comfort... but here... here it was different. It was both a wonderful feeling and a sence of empending doom. Your guts knoted like something was wrong, something was waiting for you around the corner to devour your flesh. Yuzuki wasn't sure how to react to this. She bore it stoicly, at least for now until she got a better feeling of this place that caused her emotions and mind to be pulled in two different directions at the same time, to the most opposite extreme that one ran the risk of going insane should the boundries of the rational be pushed further in polar opposites than what they were now.
It was beautiful.
It was repulsive.
...it was magnificent... and it was vile.
Yuzuki kept herself a step back from Seika, continuing to follow her lead and looking at her for some more guidence in this situation. She knew the stakes here, and she didn't want to screw up her first impression with ignorance. She hadn't experienced what the Otokage was like first hand, so she didn't share Seika's soul-shaken terror of the man, ignorance was bliss, with any luck she could keep it that way....you won't wake up from.

A man who dwarfed their shadows against the walls seemed to flow over the ground. He has an unearthly grace about him, despite him having to bend his excessively tall, gaunt form to avoid hitting his head on the ceiling. He made no mention of anything as he passed silently, his soft (almost feminine) eyes had a critical, yet understanding quality about them. Like he was looking at enemy soldiers but could empathize with their plight.
