Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It's about time."

Takashi said when Kazumei arrived in the district. He was waiting all day for him, especially Asha who probably looked over the entire district. Once Kazumei approached, Takashi slapped him on the shoulder with a smile and dropped the letter in his palms. There was no time for Takashi to read it since Xaoh had sort of handed it to him as if it were a hot potato before leaving in a hurry. Still even if he had time to read it he wouldn't have because of the fact that some documents should only be read by those who they were written to.

"Xaoh asked me to give you this. I think it's from Atraeyu."

The minute Kazumei arrived a sudden surge of happiness filled her entire being and washed away any signs of unhappiness that she once had because of his absence. But there were more important things to deal with now. They had a mission on their hands. When Kazumei told them what they had to do Asha began following behind him. There was no need for him to worry about her equipment. She had always been fully equipped with the necessities for battle at all times, of course every Ashitaka did. But maybe it was another way of him testing them to see if they were slacking. Either way she was perfectly equipped and fit for battle. "Alright, let's go." She said seriously, her mood now taking a new direction."

The entry way to the Ashitaka District only showed what Rengoru had remembered redish tint and a fierce glow to it. Rengoru walked with his hood on and hand bandaged. He strolled the city aimlessly and found himself to the square where there was a lot of people and asked around for Kazumei in the district as he hunted for the whereabouts.

Rengoru stopped at the touch of someone attempting to shake him as he shrugged from the grip of his left shoulder. He turned to look at him, "Im looking for information on kazumei. You seen him around?". Or this elder ashitaka council you know where it is? Someone told me about it earlier and its very important.", asked Rengoru standing with his eyes fixed on Takashi as he asked for help.

Rengoru was speechless to see the arm that elder held but the point was clear. That he was straight to the point and had an agenda to bring me a bandage arm. The post pain of the burning of the arm was inevitable as he held his arm. "The feeling and grip was totally diffrent. But...thank you", said Rengoru as he understood the situation with those little words that rung through Rengoru's head. "A replacement is better than none at all",thought Rengoru as he flexed his arm. His thought and knowledge of this mission was still not understood and trained punching and doing handsigns for a while he got a feel of the arm and strength. "wait! Where do I meet the shinobi to do the mission. If the mission is important like you say the flame village is the main concern", asked Rengoru as he took the bandages from around his body and arm.

Rengoru's intensity lit as he watch the pride of the Ashitaka in the elder councilmen's eyes as they glowed ominously toward the younger Ashitaka. Rengoru watched as the elder disappeared in the distance and turned his head to the sky.
He balled his hand to a fist to show the strength of the arm as he looked down. "I am no weakling and no guppy to the ninja world. I am going to take this mission down, just like my father and his missions", thought Rengoru as he went on walking with the hood pulled over his head as he brushed his hair down.
"This is where I prove myself to all the clans and villages towards my individuality as a shinobi of the flame village. That arm was attached to me not vise versa this is where my skills i've honed appear." He ran and disappeared in the distance to train.

Once the meeting of the Ashitaka elders was concluded, Kazumei made his way into the streets of the Ashtiaka district where he would meditate on the day's passing events. Something was approaching in the shinobi world. This munch was already known, however there were a few minor things that needed to be taken care before attacking the bigger problems. Besides he still needed to speak to the council of the flame before proceeding to such large scale matters, so he had time. Every once in a while he would bump into a fellow clansmen which he would exchange nods with every so often, most of them who were males. Most Ashitaka were stern this way by nature, especially when one held a mutual respect for another. However their pride was one of the most noticeable things about them. They respected the Agnikage, and they respected those that came before them. However they bowed before no one. It was just in their nature, and each one of them expressed it in their own way. Pocketing his hands, Kazumei had reached the exit of the district where he would eventually make his way towards the western section of the Flame Village.
