Temple in the Forest...

The day was extremely blissful, numerous trees and plant life consumed the plains for miles on end which sat just on the outer rim of Iwagakure. The rays of the sun would gleam down onto the mound of green as its light would reap threw the openings between the leaves and branches of the towering hierarchies. Within a mile radius, everyone was of its prime. Even each individual strand of grass gave off a radiant green luminosity which was coupled by the beauty of the surrounding plants, a great area for any occasion.

Hmmm..

As the grassland area would hold a domain silence throughout its area, this primal peace would soon be interrupted by the crackling of grass and twigs which rested on the ground. Wondering threw the bliss forest was a man, draped in a blue colored Kimono expressing the clothing style Sashinuki Hakama, as the pant legs gathered at the ankles, creating a ballooning effect. Dangling from the left side of his waist were two Katana’s which seemed to be in great condition which was indicated threw their imperial appearance, no scraps of grim on the sheaths, and the handles were completely intact.

While moving across the grass plains, the young men seemingly expressed a impassive blank stare as his darkened eyes continued to gaze forward. The skin of this masculine youth was that of lightly tanned pigmentation; his hair, jet black and fashioned a long ponytail which could reach his shoulders. As the grass crackled below, the mysterious wonderer would soon stop as his crystal blue eyes would hold a still gaze towards the direction of a open space. This opening formed a sphere which was outlined with an array of trees.

“ How pleasant.”

Muttered to himself in a masculine tone of voice as the dark haired male known as Enkaku continued into the opening; nature was truly a beauty and it took something of great influence to keep a area as beautiful as this one for so long thought, Enkaku as he continued to pace forward, only to stop moments later as he’d finally reached the radius of the environmental circle. Just standing in place as the gentle breeze of air pressed against his body, Enkaku would have seemed to came to a standstill as he continued to admire the body which was the wilderness.

Brilliant sunlight glistening through the green leaves and on the delicate grass, a light breeze blowing through the landscape that gave a little relaxing music by the shifting of plant life, and birds singing high in the trees. A perfectly beautiful day for enjoying the scenery and landscape nature provided and sharing it with loved ones. Unfortunately, there wasn't time on this day.

"Kohanaa--?! Kohana?!!"

The peaceful day and scenery was interrupted by quick footsteps and the frantic voice of a woman. Dark brown hair trailed behind a figure that ran through the trees and jumped over fallen, mossy logs. A mother desperately trying to find her lost child.

"Ko... hana--!"

Reisa stopped shortly bending over and placing her hands on her knees to catch her breath. She had been running for a while, searching the wilderness for her child that had gotten out of her sight during a picnic and ran off into the woods. She would never forgive herself if she couldn't find her. She was all she had left of--

"... Kohana!! Please answer mommy!"

The medic straightened and called out again to her daughter, focused on the woods around her and didn't notice the man standing a few yards away. After a moment, she cussed under her breath and picked up running again in an attempt to locate Kohana.

良いか。

Standing in the meadow’s aperture; Enkaku would take the time to benefit from the lovely afternoon atmosphere. For the duration of his day, the dark haired Shinobi spent most of his time recuperating from his preceding assignment who led him to the hidden waterfall village on a imperative demand, leaving him with abiding grievances. His body though still therapeutic urged for the breach air and the vigorous aspects which came with the gentle breeze, quite soothing to be truthful.

The resonance of his sheaths conflicting off one another as the temperate wind pressed against Enkaku’s body was someone comforting. Evident threw the fact that if Enkaku could only hear his scabbards moving then he was most likely alone, a confrontation in his condition would be most unpleasant. The comfort that Enkaku had momentarily became accustomed to seem too unrealistic; could anything possible be this quiet, thought Enkaku as he used the palm of his right hand to gently push his hoary, lozenge glasses upwards as the cerulean, decorative sleeve draped down to his elbow.

“ hooo~”

Enkaku exclaimed as he released from his mouth, s petite clamor. Enkaku since returning home hadn’t had such a undisturbed moment to himself and the Iwagakure Shinobi could only hope for this moment to last. However this sensation wouldn’t last as expected.

“Wh..what the..hell?”


Spoken in calm, lesser tone of voice as Enkaku shifted his head slightly towards the side as a dark blur dashed past his view. Quickly moving with the velocity of the black shadow, Enkaku noticed a young maiden running towards a opening within the words. As she moved, Enkaku’s ears continued to catch the comment made by the women, and from the expression of her tone of voice, it seemed quite serious. Taking one step forward, Enkaku gave one arm outwards as he attempted to reach for the dark haired beauty in attempts to slow her done as the sun’s rays glared off his spectacles.

“Are you ok?”

Reisa vaulted herself over another fallen tree, most likely from a team training, and continued running as fast as she could. There was only one thing turning its way through her mind at that point: her daughter. Kohana was the world to her; the only precious thing left of Xiao and her relationship. She was a mother, after all, and nothing could waver a mother's determination when it came to her child.

The woman stopped abruptly when she felt someone trying to stop her and looked to her side, where she breathlessly looked to the man wearing spectacles, slightly surprised that someone else had been out here and, even more so, tried to catch up with her. Although Reisa was still in fantastic shape and as skilled as the next kunoichi, it had been quite some time since she was required to run so much. Her frantic thoughts of what could happen to Kohana didn't help to calm her heart much either.

"I... M-my daughter--" she breathed, her face slightly flush from the sudden and massive amount of exercise. She didn't expect to be chasing her daughter around the area today. Taking a deep breath, she spoke more fluently.

"Thank you for your concern... My name is Kawasō Reisa and I was a little way away from here having lunch with my Kohana, my daughter, when she ran off," she pointed over to the area where she had been running from and looked back to him. Her expression clearly had worry all over it.

"I've been running for some time looking for her... Have you by chance seen her?" She asked, bringing her hand to just a few inches below her thigh. "She's about this tall with short brown hair and brown eyes."

For a moment, there was a shimmer of hope in her eyes. She just hoped Kohana was okay.
