[/color][/i]" " Hey..."[/center] He said, making his way over to one of the coolers and pulling out a bottle of soda, something equivalent to mountain dew code red. Heading back to the counter, and set it down.
"That be all?"
"Nah, a pack of Kemuri's too"
"Ohk, that'll be nine hundred ryo"
Kawa fished into his pocket for the roll of bills he needed, pulling out a thousand ryo note, he tossed it to Taro, grabbed the smokes and drink and headed out. He didn't care for the change, well because technically he was underage, so he had this arrangement with Taro, give him a bit of extra money when buying smokes and stuff and he wouldn't get carded. A good deal. As he stepped back onto th street, he opened the pack of cigarettes and pulled three of them out, turning them upside down then putting them back into the package. Those were his luckies today. Means he wouldn't bum those ones out to anyone, cause that's how he rolled. As he walked further down the street, he turned his head to catch the movement of one of the balls of light jumping up to the rooftops, great, another one. As his attention was turned, he would accidentally bump into someone, cause he hadn't been paying attention.[/ul] |

OoC: This thread happens before the events of
Clash: Attack on the Open Seas!
To make up for her rather lackluster search a few days back, Toku had gotten the most brilliant idea ever in her lifetime as a Kumogakure resident, mall shopping. Only problem that would stop her crazed mall crawl would be her limited amount of spendable cash, mostly used up the other day in a raffle ticket contest to a surprise vacation trip. She figured she wouldn't win the contest but it couldn't hurt to try, especially since that cute sales guy did a very good job of persuading her thoughts. Oh well, only a few more hours before the results would get back in. So today Toku would have to forgo her mall plans and take the lesser route to wasting time; a walk about town.
Clad in a pleated cotton spaghetti strap LBD, topped with white stockings and an equally stark headband covering the top of her head, Toku was briskly strolling the streets she adored ever since she was a newborn. Her teeth were busy chewing up a freshly bought lemon cherry gum mix as she looked up and down the busy lane. Not many people were actually out shopping today like they usually were, course this particular street wasn't all that visited as much as the mains were. Blue eyes blinked and squinted as her nostrils caught the sudden scent of smoke in the air, as if there were many cigs being burned at the time.
She tried to pinpoint where they were coming from, but it looked as if a hazy cloud was slowly covering the street with it's girth. "Rank, like where is that coming from?" She waved off the smoke in front of her face, trying to catch a whiff of fresher air while keeping her composure. Great choice of streets to walk to today, though to be fair, it wasn't this smoky up a few weeks back. Hair as white as her stockings caught her sight coming out of a nearby store, a pack of cigarettes in his hand. He didn't look all that mature in her view, even a little young for someone having some smokes. He did seem a little distracted, judging from the sudden bump pass with a pedestrian that didn't seem planned.
If it wasn't for the whole suspicious aura surrounding the smoke and sudden appearance of cigarettes, Toku would've just brushed off the man as another face on the street. She watched the scene unfold form afar, not making any real sudden movements for a few minutes. After the scene cleared up, Toku would make her way over to the man. "You realize, smoking's like bad for you right?"

[/i]"[/blockquote] He said and turned to face the direction fo the voice, finding a girl, looking a bit younger then he with an odd look on her face. With his cigarette out and in his mouth, he inhaled through the filter once more then, held it for a moment as he eyed the girl, wondering who she was, before letting the smoke exit through his mouth in a billow of white haze. "But you know, studies have found that air is one hundred percent fatal, all who use it die, so I'm trying to break my air addiction" He said and looked at the girl once more for her reaction, before however his gaze was interupted by another of the floating orbs, that hovered just over the head of the girl thenstarted circling around her head, like it was chasing its own tail or something. His eyes would follow it until he glared at it, and from Toku's standpoint he was glaring at the air over her head. Bringing the cigarette up to his lips then holding it there with his lips, he shrugged his shoulder and tilted his head to one side, an audible popping sound could be heard, repeating this on the other side. He had to make the glowing orb get the impression it was about to get jumped. From this point he kept his staredown of the orb as he stepped closer to her, probably giving her the impression he was about to kidnap her or something. But he knew how to play it cool so she wouldn't flip out, hopefully, so out of the corner of his mouth he murmured. "Don't move--" He said, glaring at the orb as he got closer, bringing his hands up in front of him and cracking his knuckles in his open palm, repeating this with his other hand as well.[/color][/ul] |

This man, he was definitely something of an oddity, even odder than herself might she add. It was different than what usually happens in Kumo; usually it would be the other way around when she meets someone. Well, minus the smoking part anyways. She fidgeted as the overwhelming stench of a cigarette burning billowing out towards her, halting her walk a few feet away from him. Her nose would scrunch up as she tried to get the smoke away from her location, even though it was pretty thin by the time it got to her. Squinting her eyes, Toku reached for a fan inside of her bag and started to fan the air, as if trying to get the smoke away from her air.
Funny, I like, thought that air was good for you. Like, I would so pick air over smoking any day." She smelled the air as the minor amount of smoke it had was worn out and sent packing. Her victory over the airborne war would be short-lived as the weird man started to stare directly over her head, as if there were something floating above her. Strange was too common a word to describe what was happening at that moment; it was like a combination of strange, freaky, and just plain weird. Hands went to wave over her head, but met with no disturbance, making her eyebrows wigging out in freaked out emotion.
"Like what are you doing?" She didn't have the urge to look up to see what it was he was looking at, only just getting out of there as quickly as possible. One foot was already lifted backwards in a prepared attempt to run away as soon as she got the motive to run. Then there was the red light, or rather, green light in when the man started to reach upward to grab at something. Not really caring what for, all that mattered was that he was reaching towards her. Without thinking what she was doing, she quickly made a couple backward steps to get a few feet away from there, back as far as she can get.
Before she quickstepped though, she did get the chance to deliver a well-aimed and well-timed kick to the shins that, given the circumstances, would be more surprising when they connected.

[Short post, limited time[/b][/i]"[/blockquote] He asked rather annoyed and a bit angry, after all he had thought he was doing a public service, then he remembered. These people couldn't see what he saw, which sucked now for he had a perfectly rational explanation for this occurence.[/color][/ul]

Toku looked onward at the man with a bit of satisfaction in protecting herself from a potential abducting. She knew that her parents would totally be angry if she missed her dinner this evening because some man thought it would be funny to take her away to another place. Her posture turned defensive, before a more offensive and angry pose went into effect, with both her arms bent at her hips, a serious look plastered on her face. Or, however a girl can look serious after kicking someone in the shins. Toku winced at the sight of the cigarette filter being spat out of the man's mouth, something she knew she would never do ever in her lifetime.
"Excuse me? You were the one trying to grab me, and in case you haven't noticed, I am not just gonna sit around while some man tries to kidnap me mmkay?" From her stance now, Toku was ready to hightail it out of there, any second left standing where she was now was only delaying her prolonged retreat. If the man was going to justify his actions, Toku was all up for it. If he wasn't, then he'll have fun trying to catch an antelope who was spooked.
