A Possible Threat for the Sand?[Open]

She saw the boy come up to the village, she had been heading to the gates mostly out of luck to find this since the day was long and boring. Seeing him talk the the plastered faced guards made her laugh a little knowing they'd give anyone a hard time any day anyhow. She listened in as much as she could even leaning out to catch even the smallest sound. She soon caught wind of the startled idea that he was Sasori. She paused and pulled her hand back to her side, Sasori of the red sand. That's a name familiar to history books really. She did have to admit he did look just like him but the way he acted sounded so out of line that it was near impossible to compare the two. She chuckled a little knowing this time it would be audible.

"Having some trouble there Iwa kid? You look familiar I'll give you that, but you act about as funny as a child whining to their mother." She stood up from the fence she had sat her hands upon the smiled. "I don't mean to be a sneaky sort y'know just hearing what comes and goes! Anyhow I'll bet the guards already knew you aren't him the minute you spoke." She said as if saying the guards were smart in a sarcastic way. She then shrugged and walked beside them. "I mean look at him, far too young, Different name, Different Village, It's like saying the impossible." She then folded her arms over closing ehr eyes a moment to think. "Just leave the boy be, I know for a fact you two are just bored at looking at nothing all day anyhow...I'm sure you're just seeing a mirage alright, get some fluids in ya!" She nodded looking at the kid smiling.

"So wanna come along and let these guys just stay thirsty to do something?"

"Having some trouble there Iwa kid? You look familiar I'll give you that, but you act about as funny as a child whining to their mother." Kotaro's eyes shifted over to the new voice, this one being a female's much more distinguishable even in the constant murmur of the people Kotaro thought to be idiots. At her words however, the teens expression turned sour and his eyes just went half closed in a look of utter disappointment. "Why don't you take a four day trip through this damn desert and get stopped at the gate to a village for something as trivial as this!" He pointed with a finger of accusation at the woman then at the desert which he oh so loathed. "These oafs should even have prior knowledge about my arrival . . ." He turned to the Suna Jounin would didn't take kind to being called oafs. Picking up his cloak and dusting it off while mumbling under his breath he looked back up to the lady. "Well I could easily lie about my name and village, but that's not helping my cause any . . . moving on." His cloak was back on and so was his scroll. "Yes I wold love if you escorted me into the village!" In a flash he sprang back into his cheery and enthusiastic mode. However, this time it was genuine as he was glad that the woman offered to assist him.

She chuckled at his hasty reaction to her joke. She then smiled calmly looking at him. "Believe me I have, far before your age too. That's not an excuse..." She paused then shrugged and starting to walk along."but even so I wasn't meaning to anger you just calm you down. I can understand it's frustrating but to pick a chatter mess against those guys is just gonna raise suspicion." She looked up to the sun for a moment pretty much knowing where to go. She seemed oddly cheerful for such a backlash. "Believe me, I've gone through the same sorta trouble when I first got here. However this is my village and home and I do trust them even if they aren't the brightest bulbs back there."

She carried on walking with her weapon strapped on her back gleaming against the sunlight. One would think having so much direct sunlight would burn you to a crisp here especially while carrying a metal object. To her however it was just warm and soothing like a newly dried blanket. "If anything I'll say this, causing an uproar over just a misunderstanding isn't going to get you anywhere. Even you proved that point yourself. Can't say what you'd need to do, perhaps just stick to the point of things and ignore accusations." She then quieted down turning her head forward to where they needed to go awaiting for his answers or possible backlashes he could easily throw out at her. Either which one she wouldn't mind to hear it's just nice to have something to do for now.

She smiled and did laugh a bit putting her arms behind her head scratching it. "Guess so! Then again I never said I was right just thinking out loud I suppose." She passed by the buildings knowing the directions with ease of a common villager. The many different folks around either not noticing her or waving to her if they did know her. She of course waved back cheerfully to them as her normal personality was to do. As they neared the entrance she did wonder what she'd be doing for the rest of the day but after he spoke she shrugged.

"Well to be honest I'm a pretty new Jounin...I really haven't been assigned to guarding the gates yet, but those two luggard heads I knew back in my Chunin years. In all if it were any other Jounin they wouldn't care less and just keep bugging ya!" She giggled remembering a bit about the two guards back in her days. It was fun times but nevertheless she and they both had jobs to do. No time for fun as it used to be. "If anything I'd love to, it's not like I've got much to do yet, they're still processing my stuff so I have all day to do whatever till then." She looked around at the buildings for a moment. "Well with the journey and all I suppose I would have thought you'd wanna stay out of the sun. But if you wanna travel around the village I have nothing against it." She re-fixed her hair band to keep her hair up then looked over to the boy as if saying ready to go.

She seemed content seeing the villagers pass by smiling at them. She then heard his answer to her question before and nodded. "Alright although pushing yourself isn't going to do you good, just fair warning." She noted as she wiped off a bit of sand from her arms to let some of the sun shine better upon it and to shake his with a cleaner hand at the very least. "Well I'm Kasai Shiruku, bet you can't tell where I was originally born from!" She said as if it were a challenge but just a playful one with the enlightened mood.

She paused a moment and bit her bottom lip to think. "No...no, don't think that would work here anyhow...with all the sand storms an art museum wouldn't help the village much and just be torn down. We do have personal puppeteers but sad to say I don't think they'd be willing to just give out info for free. Not to mention to an outsider, and don't I know it..." She paused frowning for a moment but then clapped her hands together. "But who knows maybe we can find someone more willing to help you out, Always look on the bright side of things y'know!" She cheered up smiling in such a great mood even with a bit of bad news given out.

She nodded at his answer smiling. "Well then I'll say this, if another good old storm brews up you might wanna rest as much as you can, those things can last a long while and no way some person can just travel around in it. " She seemed serious in chatter with that comment however her calm smiled kept on as she walked on throughout the place.

She laughed a little at his comment. "Positive? what are you some sorta mathematician? If you mean by fun well there are some stuff we find to do. In fact many of the villagers her tend to take up art of many forms other than just puppetry. " She pointed around at the many houses that also seemed to be shops. "Glass blowers, acrylic paintings, origami, anything that can pass the time and help the village out. They ship these around too, some travel to sell them and it's always a good thing to see progress." She then paused for a moment grinning. "My dad works on weaponry infact, because he's retired of being a shinobi due to old age he spends his time making all sorts of weapons like this fan blade I have." She pointed it out which was obvious to tell.

After a bit she noticed him in pain and frowned a little. As soon as he explained she perked up almost wanting to laugh but refusing to. "No not part camel just used to it, It's the same with the Village of the Rain being used to downpours all the time and the Village of the Mist being used to the misty and groggy feeling. It's just natural and you'd probably not ever get used to it." She shrugged folding her arms across her chest waiting for him to clear his vision. "I've traveled a lot too and trust me when I say you can't get used to something without living in it your entire life." She then carried on to look around for a moment before dusting her arms off once again without even looking. It seemed natural to her to just wipe it off and the sand just seemed to leave the skin much smoother than it would seem from just glance.

She nodded to him smiling. "Well when you're hidden away then found again things tend to change. Even so why would you wanna hear about me? I mean I'm not against it it's just I would have thought you wanted hear more on the village itself." She chuckled in a happy manner and carried on to her destination without a miss step in beat. It wasn't so apparent that she was just roaming anymore, she was for a while but now she was intent on going to a specific place.

"He specializes in weapons that aid jutsu rather than just be a weapon. I think now he's fixing up a Raiton weapon right now...in fact we're gonna go see him. I needed to go to him anyhow for a quick snack and seeing as you're thirsty a small lunch would be proper." She looked at him for a moment in a bit of concern. He was wearing a bit much, even if to keep the sand out of his face. Any longer without cold water and he'll develop a heatstroke which is common to travelers.

"Also don't worry to keep the cloak on indoors, the houses are much cooler and sand doesn't get in." She then begun to stretch a quick yawn to get herself up and ready to meet her dad. She did want to seem happy for him at the very least.

She was a caught bit off from the response but soon found the joke in it all and laughed a bit herself. She then nodded calmly. "Well I guess that's a fine explanation. Alright, in my own time I've been taking up in a sort of fire dance. Fire twirling, where one controls the flames direction with wind." She smiled for the moment then began to think on it. "It's not creepy to ask, just different...but even so Fire twirling isn't as easy as one can think. Do it right and you could shape the flames into almost anything, do it wrong and the flames bite at you."

She noticed his druggy walking for a moment frowning and unsure how to help. However she soon saw her destination and smiled a bit. "We're here, my father is the elderly man in red." She soon waved to him smiling as she approached the door step. "Dad this is a young visitor from Iwa, he needs water soon." She asked him calmly looking over at Kotaro a bit worried.

Rather than talk to the young lad her father seemed to rush off for a moment. Kasai nodded to her father then looked at the boy for a moment. "Can you walk? Just shake your head if yes..." She said trying to push him along inside to the cooler air and looking around for a chair. Her father happened to have one ready as he brought the water and a separate cold rag. He handed it to Kasai whom promptly pulled the hood off the young man and placed it there. "Don't take it off, it's for your own good that it's so cold."

This was great a visitor like before falling into the depths of the heat. It was a normal occurrence but it wasn't like it was an invited one. No amount of healing jutsu would help since this wasn't damage to the body but the body unable to keep up. Similar to those who cannot run farther than others, it's just something the body can't do unless you become acquainted with it.

It seemed the worse was over for now as Kasai sighed in relief. Her father seemed to nod at him then got back to work at his station of tools. Kasai stayed by the boy but occasionally looked over at her father's works. "Sorry to have this happen...again, but you know how bad the desert heat did you in dad." She giggled a little witch had her father stop and chuckle a bit himself before going back to work. "Anyhow so what are ya working on?" She asked looking over at the instrument.

He paused then lifted the staff in his hands the blade at the end was sharp like a Naginata however the blade was shaped more like a lightening bolt with the sharp end at the top and there was a place the hands rested upon that was pure metal rather than wood. It seemed it was to conduct electricity to the edge then jab it out. "Oh, I see! well good job dad, so you're already done with it?" She asked with him nodding quickly to her. "Good to hear! Well...whenever he's up again perhaps you can show him some weapons he can use in his puppets." He nodded and returned to his table to clean it off and smooth the sharp blade to a fine point.

OOC:

Kasai looked to him smiling. "Ah you're back quicker than expected, I suppose then you're pretty hardy to avoid fainting." She then stood up straight listening to him ask her a question. "That was I was fixing to do anyhow, just sit back and rest up. I'm sure my dad is fixing up something to show you while I get it." She walked into the kitchen grabbing a bottle of cold water.

Her father however sat the blade aside and picked up some smaller blades, looking them over. He then turned to the boy he took a moment the sharpened the blades. He seemed unsure how to react to him due to the similarity of someone from history's past. Especially someone with the similar interest to. The weapons he sharpened were similar to the point of an arrow however he stuck on end into another, adding it up to a line of sharp points. If they were shot out they wouldn't spin off course rather go straight to the point similar to kunai.

They also were more lightweight due to less metal used. This meant these weapons could be sold easily to anyone for cheap. Not to mention the uses of them immense and unable to be numbered. He made them as jagged as the history remembered, but as quick and small as a nimble one is. He took a minute before setting the line of the points conjoined down then turned to the boy. They weren't shined yet so they looked dull and they also weren't shaped properly either so it would take time.

The father of Kasai took a moment to hear the boy before picking one of the piece off and handing it out to him. No matter if the boy was or wasn't a past omen anyone who had interest in his weapons was alright by him. He seemed pretty determined to make them rather than sell, though it didn't mean he was one to just give it all away, he just enjoyed making the weapons rather than taking requests.

Kasai returned and smiled at her father. "I see, so these are what you meant to do. Looks like a jagged sword when put together but can also be broken down and thrown like a kunai. I'll see how good they throw once you get them cleaned up dad." She took a moment before handing the boy the water. She then sat down in a chair and sighed for a moment. "Y'know, I kinda wish I could have my team soon. I've been wanting to train some kids to become better but mostly I want to let kids know that life isn't just a downer." She placed her hands under her chin thinking on the notion.

"There are to many kids suffering, we need the rascals that play fight around...the ones who dream about fantastical things. The innocence that brings intelligence, and the ones who can laugh at danger." She looked at her dad frowning a little. After all the villages always are on edge, none of the kids of the village ever seem to be carefree and happy. It was like the children grew up before their bodies could, and it ends in death. "I want kids to be kids again, so they can understand happiness before they understand regret."

For a moment she paused at his response to her earlier messages then grinned widely. She then nodded to him and begun to speak. "I never said it was a basket, I said there are not how many just the thought that there is. It doesn't matter if it s one or one-thousand. Kids deserve the time of a child, to be able to play, learn, and grow. Now that can be many other ways to think on such as yourself but I want to see every kid I meet with a smile." She paused then sat down huffing out some air.

"As I said, I am not against the need for protection and ninja. It is important and a necessity of society, but to sacrifice another necessity isn't a good idea." She looked over to her father in a bit of silence then closed her eyes for a moment. "I know I'm not some wise man with tons of tales but, you wanna hear a story? It's about a friend of mine, he's a jounin too..." She looked over to the kid. "But there's a catch, If I tell you the story you've got to tell me one, doesn't matter if it's made up or real just any story will do. After all if you do need to rest a bit before getting up again from the big spill."
