Vide cor Meum [OPEN: Suna. Non-Combat]

Admiring the Roses....

Spoiler:

"Lovely rose"

Ryuho was walking along the streets of Sunagakure, with his straw hat over his face, and his white shitagi out to cover the two Takashi that were tied to his belt line, although it didn't quite do much good for the two hilts stuck out from his robe. Still, at least people won't look and be intimidated by a pair of katanas sticking out in broad daylight. Especially since he was not a resident of Sunagakure, but the highest man from a foreign ninja village, although he could not see people bothering him. Ryuho looked upwards at the sky - a dull blue color. Ryuho wriggled his nose for it felt like it was about to go off on him now; his eyes glanced to the side to admire the grass and spring. In the distance, the Hokage could see a glass building, which he knew to be the Sunagakure Greenhouse. Let's see what plants my buddy Tear is growing inside his home.... Ryuho thought curiously, if not suspiciously, wary that he might find drug plants inside of there.

He had climbed up the stairs and walked towards the entrance to the greenhouse, pulling it towards him. He walked inside to see three other people, one of whom looked up in reply to his entrance. Ryuho tipped his hat, and walked around. Truly, it smelled very natural and plant-like in here, that he could feel the skin and internal tissue of his nose twitching just by smelling in the rosy air. There were all these cabinets, vials, and families of botany. Ryuho walked with his hands behind his back, glancing at a daisy, before moving on to admire a rose....

"Gomen-nasai".

Ryuho turned around in response to a Suna man's touch, and found himself looking at the black-haired ANBU Hatake Daisuke, who was wearing a swag mix of white and black, but mostly white colors. Apparently this was Sunagakure fashion. Ryuho looked at the man with an innocent, confused look, for it seemed like the Jounin wanted something out of him, or at least know something that only he could answer. Ryuho saw from the corner of his eye that the man had his hands in his pocket. Putting two and two together, he came to the conclusion that he must have done something wrong, and the man here is wondering what the hell is an old man like him doing. Were foreigners barred from entering the greenhouse? Was he here to ask him to leave? Ryuho simply turned around, fully facing the man.

Mei woke up one morning early as usual but she didn't have much to do today. Her genin were off doing who knows what. She always wondered what they did when they didn't have to do much and Mei didn't have a mission today. Those were the only two things she did so she sat thinking if something to do. After a while of doing nothing, she decided to go out. Mei usually wore something pink but today she didn't feel like it. She wore her red and white dress with the slits from the waist to about mid thigh, which was where the dress stopped. She always wore white shorts under her dress because of the slits and she wore the same shoes she wore all the time. So, she went out but today the wind was stirring up sand. Not many people were out and she saw the same thing everyday. There were never any plants and there was always sand.

After Mei looked around, she remembered the one place there were plants the greenhouse. Mei hadn't been theere in a while since she was normally busy. It was a place she normally went to see the types of medical plants they had. Mei was very good in Ijutsu and was always looking at plants in the greenhouse. When Mei arrived however there were more people there than usual. There was one man that looked like he was from Suna but had never talked to before and the other looked like a foreigner. Mei really didn't mind them being here so so she just smiled and said, "Hello Gentlemen!"

"Hello there too, mi'lady. Forgive me but I can't help but smile back at you. You seem besides yourself with happiness. You can call me Ryuho. What is your name, mis?"

Ryuho's eyes had shifted to the door, from which a pure, angellic young woman with a divine face and incredible body proportions entered. Ryuho stared at her light brown hair; the fairest of the brunettes out there, that falls down to her waistline, which in itself is relatively small but admirable. Her hair was a spectacle under the glass house that the sun shone through, as if the light specifically illuminated her presence the moment she entered that door. Her eyes were wide and sincere, without a hint of darkness or hostility, but the very radiance of her heart. Ryuho's heart was captured by her; two hearts enjoined together. Her unique dress helped illustrate her attractiveness and sexiness, ah, and it is here that Ryuho envied Tear, for Konohagakure did not quite have nearly such pretty girls. He has not laid eyes on a clothed lady in such a way, not since Kami Hanabira who was the closest in the village to Mei Tsaki, and that was only when she was nude. The perverted Hokage did not have to look at her legs, for he already knew that they were probably finer than any other girl in this village. She was a relatively skinny woman.

But it was her smile, her smile that truly moved him. A happy, simple smile, but one that no doubt made her glow under the sun, and it no doubt lighted up the greenhouse that he helped himself in, a house of nature. Ryuho could not tell if she was a warrior or kunoichi, although the outfit kinda did suggest it. But how righteous it is that they should meet here. She was the most beautiful person that he had ever seen.

"Ryuho Nakata... Hokage", Ryuho responded blatantly as he placed a hand on Daisuke's shoulder, leaving out his middle name as it was blanked out in his name, before walking towards Mei. He was not interested in the mouth of men when there is a woman present in the room. The scene could have played out as it would be between a conflicted knight and a fair lady, meting for the first time. A sorrow that she took up the ninja path and that she was so young. He stopped short just a meter from her, looking from her hair, forehead, until he firmly locked eyes with her, into her soul. An innocent goddess. I'm going to... talk to her? Can I? Why... it won't do me any harm... And so he spoke....

Hazama attempted to poke his Fire Shadow with his left finger into the side of his torso, hoping to get his attention. In his right palm, Bujuro had held two a large container of fries, and a shake in his massive palm. The kageken's shadow became a pillar of shade do for the orgy he had entered, he stood about five feet away from his, Kage. He looked at, the two strangers before him, as he was in their home, and he could already tell that his, Kage was visually applying his eyes towards the vixen. Hazama didn't really give a damn, he just quietly sipped the soda, Ryuho's money had paid for, as he erected his left palm to physically connect to, Daisuke, and introduce himself, if he wished to do so.

"Hello, my name is Hazama. Might I ask where I can become inactive? I've travelled very far, and wish to retire for a while"

Hazama said as his locks slung with the waft. It was amazing how he was over eight feet tall, and his hair was damn near ankle length, he hated how much sand was getting into it.

Mei looked at the man that appeared to be from Suna. She didn't exactly know who he was but she was sure she had seen him somewhere and he didn't seem to care who she was. So, she looked away from him. Then, he eyes landed on the man behind him. He seemed to be looking at her and she listened to him as he spoke. He had gotten closer to her and that's when she heard it. THE HOKAGE!HOW COULD SHE BE SO CLUELESS! So , with a slight bow she said in her soft voice, "Welcome sir." Then she raised up. "My name is Mei. When you live in a lovely place where you can meet new people what is there yo not be happy about?" This was Mei's response and every bit of it was true. She was not sure wether to give the man her last name so she decided it would be best not to. Since he was the Hokage he probably knew anyway. She watched as he ignored the man from Suna and stared at her. Mei didn't know why he was looking at her but she found it more polite to smile.

Ryuho turned around upon feeling a very rude digit poking him in the side. The Hokage turned to face a very Asian-looking man who had food in his hands. Nanda...? Ryuho thought, without saying anything. Ryuho quickly scratched his chin with a finger, as although the guy looked vaguely familiar, he could not quite fathom why a Sunagakure resident would wish to speak to him. And as he was trying to figure it out, Hazama had already turned to Daisuke. Weird fellow... Instead, Ryuho turned back to Mei. "Sorry about that mi'lady, it seems that a fellow found the wrong person". Ryuho generously appreciated Mei's welcome with a smile. "Sunagakure must be a really warm place for you then, huh Mei? That strong-and-determined Kazekage bringing prosperity". I hope Tear isn't bagging her....

Ryuho's eyes peered back over to the rose that he had just seen, and then he turned back to a pretty Mei. "Do you come here often, Mei? This is a very nice and natural place to meet people. Would you mind if you showed me around the plants here? I don't quite live in this village... just a visitor".

The Hyuuga, was slightly confused, as he was left with his hand in mid air looking like an idiot. He withdrew his palm, seeing that, the Suna Shinobi would not shake his palm. They Hyuuga was left in a state of mortification, Hazama nodded, at Daisuke, as he very vague directions. Hazama would be able to find the inn, regardless. Before he knew it, the Head of the Leaf was once again wrapped in tongue with a female counter part to Daisuke, the Suna Shinobi.

Hazama held up the, Hokage's portmanteau as, he began speaking.

"Sir, I'm going to go place obtain a few rooms, at the..."

Hazama paused, as he wasn't exactly told what the name of the resting lodge . He turned his crown back towards, Daisuke's region, and proceeded to ask, but did not make his question external. He simply, bowed towards him, revealing his name.

"I'm Hazama, the Kageken"

He said, as his posture recoiled to it's normal state. Hazama approached, Mei.

"Can you point him in the direct of the inn, when you finish, your conversation?"

Hazama asked, as he began to count the amount of, Ryo with in Ryuho's wallet. He didn't know, the prices of Suna's village, but he wanted to make sure they had enough, pelf for lodgings.

Mei had been talking to the Hokage when he turned to talk to a man that had been poking at him. During this time, Mei had looked past the Hokage and at the other Suna man. She wasn't sure if she had intruded on something but for some reason he seemed a bit unhappy. After a moment, the Hokage turned back to her. "O why that's quite alright sir. Yes it is a very lovely place. Although I do not know the Kazekage personally I will say he is doing a lovely job." Mei watched as the Hokage looked at the rose and back to her. "Why yes I come here very often. I am part of the Medical Corps. sso I know quite a bit about the plants here and would love to show you around a bit." Mei smiled just after saying this.

Moments after speaking to the Hokage another man walked up to her. It was the man that had just been speaking to the other Suna resident. He seemed to be travelling with the Hokage. She listened to his comment and then responded with a smile. "Of course I will sir. We will take very good care of the Hokage." Mei was very happy to be talking to so many people today and couldn't help but keep smiling.

"Mei, what is this flower, then? Is it poisonous?"

Ryuho had looked to the side as the pale man wanted to speak with him again. What a strange fellow.... Ryuho thought. Why would I mind where he stays.... The guy stood besides him now, clearly diverting Mei's attention from him. Hazama was counting the money in Ryuho's wallet in plain view, and Ryuho vaguely recognized the texture of it. He scratched his chin. "How strange..... that wallet has a decent amount of money in it.." Ryuho observed, pointing at the wallet Hazama was holding. "It seems to be made of fine material, too. How strange..." As Hazama was flicking through the ryo, he noticed a card sticking out that said "Golden Konohagakure Hot Springs Membership". GAHHH! That's my babeh! Ryuho thought, snatching away the wallet from Hazama's hands and stuffing his wallet inside his kimono. "Hm ~ thief! Mocking me, are you?" Ryuho hissed.

He took several steps backwards until he stood next to the rose plant. He had to get away from the guy who took his wallet out of nowhere, but do so without damaging anything and still keeping good faith with Mei. He would have to punish this evil-doer once they're in a dark alley together....

"Ah, Mei! can you come over here?" Ryuho called. He looked at the rose plant, but knowing that he'd look pretty damn senile asking what it was, he took another step back to see a bright-colored orange flower that looked pretty. Hoho.... she said she'll take good care of meee!

Hazama had acclaimed enough ryo, from his Hokage's wallet. The Anbu began his paced march eastward towards the inn. Leaving the company of the Fire Shadow, and the Sunagakure-nin. Hazama shoved his left, and right palms inside his dimension made of cloth. He looked around the area taking a slight scenic route. As he arrived at the inn a duo of baggage handlers titled their head towards him in a slight bow. He could see the receptionist before him not aware of who was standing before her. She continued to read her magazine. The light for her leisure time seemed to be blocked by, Hazama's figure. She seemed eager to get him out of her hair so she could continue reading, about different villages she'd like to vacation to. Hazama smiled as he spoke.

"Hello, I'd like to order a room"

He stated as his smile began to fade.
