Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Raikages office, located in the tallest strongest mountain of the village. This spire rises and over looks the entire village.

Rei entered the room with Kori. It hadn't been long since he had been in this room, after all the ritual was just a few weeks earlier. He looked around the room, noticing all the things hung up on the wall, and the piles of scrolls laying here and there. Rei turned to Kori.

"Well, at least they can't say we're late." Said Rei. "I guess we'll just have to wait on them. I wonder how our team is going to work out, we seem to have quite a few different backgrounds between us."

Rei shifted, and walked over to the window to look out. The weather was a constant in Kumo. This was a good thing for people who didn't like change. However, Rei hated it. He loved the shifting of the seasons, and the days that he could get up and realized the weather had completely changed from the day before. As he stood there, he stared blankly across the village hidden in the clouds. The buildings stood dark under the impending sky, and the horizon melted into the bleak sky.

As he stood there, Rei thought to Gyuki: "So what do you think of Kumo? You've been here for a long time. Are you tired of the same old landscape?"

Gyuki- the 8 tails Biju
The beast took in the sight of the Cloud through the boy's eyes. He remained silent for a moment before replying.
"The landscape has changed much over my time here, you'd be surprised. Some of its changes were my doing, others were of nature, and some were of your kind. It's home to me. And that it will stay."
The beast shifted uncomfortably inside Rei as Karada made his appearance. A feeling of wariness emitted from the eight tails as the man began to talk.
"I remember this man. He helped seal me into you and was present the last time I was sealed too. A powerful man..........despite his personality."

Rei Nodded towards the Raikage and headed through the open door. He bowed slightly as he passed Kori, in recognition of her kindness, and went on. This was the moment of truth. They had officially received their orders from the Kage, and they were on their way to the gate. Rei didn't need to talk to the Kage. As Rei had already figured out, Karada wasn't a man of words, but rather a man of eventual action. Rei took off from the Raikage's building towards the village gate at a full sprint.

I'm one nightmare....

Yuzuki Yukimura

Heeled footfalls clopped softly down the halls towards the Raikage's office. She was here to be assigned either a team and/or a mission... at the very least, something to do in the mean time while she waited. She glared out through her eyebrows at the world as she passed by it. Dark broodings passed and spun through her head as she climbed the ever stretching stairs that would lead her to the Raikage's office and to her first steps down her path of greatness. Many people would feel a little anxious or excited about meeting such a man, though she saw things a little differently with him. She looked at him more like a slave owner or perhaps even the hand that used her as a weapon. That's all she was after all, a weapon to be used as others saw fit. She admittadly had never seen him before, spare some breif visitations in the academy where he addressed the students to psyche them up with a patriotic speech, she wasn't sure what to make of the man, personally. Regardless of what disposition he may or may not have, she was still under him. Only time would tell if he was indeed worth saving at all or if he was just as corrupted and useless as the rest of the world that was around her. With little power and no ways of actually claiming her freedom from this oppressor, she would continue to serve him loyally until she either saw a way out she grew strong enough to take her freedom from him by force. She locked those feeling away deeply though, such thoughts were concidered treachery and invited only death. And if she died, then there would be no point to her struggles to become a shinobi in the first place. This world was not so black or white as the majority of the people would like to believe, she knew it, and knew it all to well just how unfair and cruel the world could be. Mankind had no purpose now that there was at least a tense peace. Pointless... weakening... she would love nothing more than to tear it down and lead humanity into a glorious future.

When she reached the door to the Raikages office she looked around to see if there was someone there at the desk outside, but there seemed to be a distinct lack of people floating around. She guessed that the Raikage was either confident of his own power or that people couldn't stand him. Probably the later...
Yuzuki raised her hand and knocked on the door to the office. She assumed that the Raikage would know why she was there.

.... you won't wake up from.

I'm one nightmare....

Yuzuki Yukimura

Yuzuki stared at the Raikage blankely for a second, then her face slowly contorted into a mask of seething, but bridaled rage. She crossed her arms under her chest, she closed her eyes, her eyebrows barrowing into the bridge of her nose.
"Excuse me, Do I look like a stripper to you?!?!" Raikage or not, a man in his position would know to answer very carefully -or perhaps more wisely- to change the topic quickly to something that would distract the current situation. A woman's wrath scorned, regardless of rank or ability, was always a outright frightening occurance to experience. And judging by the look on Yuzuki's face, she was a rather volitile young lady at the best of times. "What I'm here for is my squad arrangements, mission and whatever other shinobi business that I will have to do... and for god sakes put your damn shirt on - your going to scare the kids and confuse the babies!"

.... you won't wake up from.

I'm one nightmare....

Yuzuki Yukimura

"Gee... I wonder why they would be avoiding you?" She mumbled rather flatly. Yuzuki kept her arms crossed under her chest, her index finger wrapping against her biscep. "Alright... what's her name, what does she look like?" Yuzuki asked, trying to keep her temper in check. So, he was putting together and Amazon Brigade was he? Hm, actually she thought that was rather smart. As long as the other girl was compatent and perhaps they found another girl to round off the team they would likely be a force to be reckoned with. They couldn't be that bad regardless, after all... she was going to be on their team. "Are we reporting to a jonin? Data, data, data... I can not make bricks without clay.... or is it that your just so lonely that you'll latch onto any female attention you can get your hands on?"
Yuzuki's face has soothed to something of a slightly annoyed look compared to the wrath that has tarnished it before. Her temper soothed more or less for the time being. She kept full eye contact with the Raikage at all times. She wondered what had happened to the other member of the group that had give her an opening for her squad. Oh well... one mans misfortune is a womans gain. She wouldn't complain as long as it brought her some action and an excuse for some jutsu.

.... you won't wake up from.
