Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kinami squeaked, falling back. She rose an eyebrow, stayed still for a moment, and then used a hand to push him up just as the two ANBU appeared. "I thought I told you..." She then noticed the other ninja staring, then laughed nervously. She couldn't stop the red that stained her cheeks, though.

Wriggling out from under Roy, she stood and scratched the back of her head. "Um...hi?" Two seconds before the ANBU unfroze enough for them to react, she winked at Roy and fled for the hills.

The ANBU immediately turned on the poor boy. "Hey, what did you think you were doing?" asked the one in the cat mask. The other, wearing a rabbit mask, grabbed one of his arms to keep him there until they answered his questions.

((...I have no idea how to follow that....




Wait, nevermind.))

Kinami peered out from the side of the tower. She saw the women molesting and preying on the ANBU, and nodded to herself. Sneaking about silently, she quickly posted the new genin team cells. Satisfied that nobody would find her, she left quickly and made her way to the TaiTou Cafe to visit old friends and get a bite to eat.

To be sure, the first thing Roy had to do was clear off some of this damn paper so he could at least find the file cabinets. Without those he'd be here for the rest of the day trying to figure something out and that simply was not acceptable. He moved to the top of the desk being careful not to step on or trounce anything underfoot. He looked about over some of the piles of paper and found 3 brand spanking new file cabinets just waiting to be used. He growled a bit as he looked and mumbled under his breath "Damn lazy little...”

Hopping back down to his original position in the seat of the Kage's office, he looked around for a moment to see what else he could do to make his job a little easier. Well, he already had a bit of ease in the fact that these papers simply needed filing and not filling out and such. He just had to figure out a filing system to use with all these things or else he'd never get done.

There were papers from all manner of areas in Iwagakura. Everything from requests for dates with the Kage to important military training requirements. Amidst them were even the Shinobi rosters. He sighed looking at how hap hazardly some of the things had bee thrown aside. Some were even torn and collecting mounds of dirt form their stay on Kinami's desk. "We need to hire a maid or something I swear. Better not bring it up to her or else she might make ME do it." He looked to the side and groaned realizing that was the most likely course if ANYONE brought up the subject of the tower needing cleaning. He'd get back at his mom for this one day, just not now. He had bigger fish to fry...errr...file.

"Dearest Kinami,

I cannot stand to be away from you. Our parting was so bitter sweet and left such a horrible taste within my heart. I ache every moment I cannot see your beautiful face or touch those long locks of hair. I yearn once again to be so very close to that silk you call skin and to inhale that fragrance of your bodies scent. I shale forever remember your parting word of 'Get lost weirdo' as they ring forever in my heart. For I know that those were words spoken only to protect your fragile image in the face of your fellow men. You must keep up a strong front in front of everyone within the village or else you lose all power. I, too, can understand such pain and would like to relieve you of such burdens. I know in my heart of hearts that those bitter words were masks for the sweat words you truly wished to speak to me. I shall await your reply atop the Mountains to the west with aching heart and true passion within my soul to match yours.
Your's truly
..."


After a nice long gag, Roy looked to the paper again. He nearly felt ill just from glancing to the paper. This guy was sick...really sick. Roy even began to wonder if the guy was still up there considering the paper was written exactly one year ago today. He laughed a bit looking to the paper and balling it up. He figured Kinami didn't care too much for these people or else she'd have taken more care of their letters. He made a mental note to take the letters home and use them for kindling when the colder months started to roll in. He'd have enough to warm the house for a good little while.

Disregarding the rest of the letters as trash and figuring he'd glance at the academy applications later, he moved on to try and find a way to file the other stacks away. The problem was, how would he get them from their current location to the file cabinets with the cabinets still blocked. He looked over in their direction and came up with an idea.

((fail))

Unfortunatly, he hadn't had a good enough grip upon the cabinate. They had been sitting in this room for quite some time and allowed to gather all manor of things. He felt his hand slipping and soon slipped himself. He fell just past the cabinate and sat ther for a moment. The floor was hard and cold from no one being in there for such a long time. He knew the next thing he'd ask Kinami to do, put friggin carpet in more of the rooms other than just the sleeping quarters, this hard wood thing was freezing. The cabinets were well rooted into the ground and that caused Roy to grumble a little as he looked up to the mound of paper again. He couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed by the huge mound and his small stature. It made him feel like everyone else normally made him feel; small and insignificant. He had always been made to feel like that ever since he was little because of his small size for a boy. He was even called Baby Roy all the way until he was about 5. He growled a little more getting up and looking to the cabinates again. He looked them over and tried to figure the best way about this. There had to be a slightly easier way of pushing these things without putting a large strain on his back. He moved around and saw how close the cabinates proximity was to the wall. They were a bit aways from the wall, just enough for someone his size to squeeze in between. He got inbetween the edge of the cabinate and the wall and tried to prop his legs up. He placed his hands against the wall and began to push with all his might.

((Success))

Having moved over toward the other stack of papers. Roy began to shift through them. He found this stack to be much older and some even covered with dust. He figured they had to be old if they were this close to the Kage's desk. This is probably where the pile started. Roy could just imagine how this all began. At first, Kinami was probably very diligent at signing the few papers that came through. There couldn't have been that many that needed her signiture with Iwa being so peaceful. She probably just had a few hands around here and there to do the filing or some such menial work. But then, she probably forgot or started on something else and didn't come for a while. Or maybe the hands had to leave for whatever reason and Kinami didn't know for a while. And by the time she came back, there was already a small stack on her paper. And being like any other person, she kept putting it off more and more. Each time she went into her office, she just glared at the papers, maybe looked at one or two of the top pages and walked off. It kept building and building into something unbelievable till it was finally here. Roy had heard she'd hired a few other hands since then to try and straighten things out but it was still a mess. He had also heard from one of the ANBU that guarded the place that the last hand went insane. That didn't hlep Roy's moral any.

It was a good thing he had gotten into the habit of working without paying much attention because by the time he was done imagining Kinami avoiding the place, he had already slipped the stacks into seperate piles ont he side of the room. There was now room to move the desk.

For the next several hours. Roy sat within the Kage Office filing away the stacks of paper he had already split. He also took the time to file away a few more paths of paper to give Kinami a bit more room. His top priority was the Shinobi Profiles though. He put those within the part of the cabinate that was locked. He'd be sure to put the key someplace Kinami could find it, I.E. anyplace but here. He kept the love letters out of the file system. He wanted to see if Kinami would come and read them or use them for the next bon fire of the village. Either way it'd be fun and kinda funny to watch. If she did read them, he'd enjoy watching her facial expressions on some of the more...umm...adult ones. And if she burned them, least he'd get free hamburgers out of it. Either way, he wins and in the end, isn't that the kind of situation we all want to be in?

Roy's system of filing was working out pretty well. It wasn't the most sophisticated but it wasn't the worst he could do either. Either way, he was making quite a bit of headway within the files...or at least he thought he was. Looking to the file cabinates, he had about a good one-third of all the cabinates filled to compacity but when his eyes glanced around the room, he found that barely a dent had been placed within the large mountains of paper. "How mucho f Konohagakura had to die for this damn office?" He mumbled to himself. He looked down to his watch and realized that he was almost off the clock for this mission and decided that the best thing to do was to finish up the last couple of files and just tidy up a bit, starting with a clear path to Kinami's desk. He stood up and looked around the room and figured the best he could do was push the rest of the stacks agaisnt the wall to give the room more...well...room. He began to do so with the stacks he could move. The others, the ones too tall to move, he simply left alone hoping someone taller or stronger could come and handle this mission next. He didn't really care though because he was off to get his pay.
