Welcome to Gaia! ::

Another sigh escaped from the man's lips as Kurako spoke once more. "Hm...I'll have to swing by his village later on this week. Does he know that you've left?" he question, still very curious about the whole situation.

As they supported their upper bodies up with their weight, Ryu slipped off of her shoulder and laid his head on her lap. He rubbed his head into her thighs and hummed for a bit. "Kurako...I have a question for you...about me." He was a bit nervous about asking, but he decided he shouldn't wait any longer. And since she was the first person he had encountered since this thought, then he would ask her first. "Kurako, should I be a Kage? I feel a bit uncomfortable with this job. It's a bit too much."

Ryukinzo listened carefully to her words and yawned soon afterwards. He was afraid of any answer he would've gotten, though he would be happy to deal with it. His eyelids became heavy once again, and he purred like a cat as she played with his hair. "But...there are so many people who are depending on me...I can't leave them, and I can't start slacking off on them; either way they'll be upset. I don't know. I'll think about it in my sleep...Night nite Kurako." Within two seconds, the man with the random mind feel asleep on her lap, and not too long afterwards, the kunoichi fell asleep as well.

{I hope you don't mind me autoing you since you're leaving.}

Feeling something push against his side several times, the Kage squirmed around a bit and rolled out of the kunoichi's lap. His face was being shot at by the setting sun, and a stream of spit trailed down his cheek. "Oh~, Nayami, don't leave me now...we...fun...HUH?!" Ryukinzo's eyes snapped open and the young man sat up. His hair was a bit messy, and his visage was a bit dirty.

He was unfamiliar with the third person standing next to him, but for some reason, he didn't see her as a threat. The Crystal Kage leaned over and cupped some water from the river, prior to splashing it on his face.

While arising to his feet, he combed his hair back and made eye contact with the white-haired woman. One of his eyebrows arose when he recognized her single eye, then dropped back down. "My mom..." he said to himself quietly. "I'm sure she is worried about me, but she doesn't exist on this side of life anymore." The man shoved his hands into his pockets and gave Kouen a cold stare, cold enough to freeze the water on her body. "You should be careful of your choice of words. Only having one eye is bad enough...Unless you're like the Legendary Kakashi." The Kousekikage reached down and removed his shades the Kurako, then put them back one to cover his ruby eyes. "Who are you?"

Neo walks down the river thinking to himself. He seems to be deep in thought. He then stops to take a moment to look around.

"It's nice here." he says to himself in a cool voice.

After enjoying the sanctity of him being alone by the river, Neo decides to move on. He continues to walk the length of the river seeing the occasional duck swim by. He is not really amazed by the scenery, but he acknowledges nature's great wonders to himself. This eases his troubled mind to an extent, but the thought still lingers in the depths of his subconscience.

"It really is lonely now...
But i guess i cant let that stop me from doing...

Sighs

"Yeah..."
