Ever since that meeting at the Kazekage tower between Roku, Kazuki, Kuro, 'Fuu' and Mikaboshi, something had troubled Sousuke. Michi ... or rather Fuu as Sousuke knew her as had said something troubling that Roku was unwell. After the battle with Barnyx, Sousuke was beginning to piece it together. Drawings, strings of yarn, and pictures. There was a section of the Kazekage tower that was 'more secretive' than others, and Sousuke kept alot of those. The room was a mess, but that was due to the connections of pictures and aforementioned strings. There were pictures in the room with red writing on it. Sometimes there were curse written across it. For example: 'Who the &^#! is Shihakata Rioshi' was in the middle of the picture, and surrounding it in a different coloured ink was written Takahashi Shiori. Another would be a picture of Shouki with the various words written on that as well, most of them were character descriptions of a murderer. There was the a picture of Fuu, but that had been replaced with a picture of Michi which simply said one word 'bitch'. The original picture of Fuu had more words, of a less terrible sounding nature. There was a picture of Susumu with an upside-down question mark in neon yellow. A picture of the Wind Daimyo was present too with a giant skull placed upon his face. That picture had strings going into no less than nine directions which led to the word 'Ancient' written in bold, which then shot down to various courts, and then shot down to the new threat the Sovereign which had Fuu/Michi's file clippings. SLAVE TRADE was another connection word, which Sousuke had placed down a schedule and a hit list of sorts. There was a new clipping about the wedding which Sousuke wrote in red 'I hate weddings'. There was a picture of Yume with the word 'gone' written on it which was next to a picture of Okibi and Harupia which both said gone. A picture of Uri was torn in half but taped back together which read the word 'THREAT'. Katuso's hand drawn picture had one half the former 'True King' and the other half was Mikaboshi. Suffice to say, sometimes Sousuke had to collapse his mind palace, and this was perhaps the best physical presentation of it. Roku too had a picture, which had written on it 'UnWeLL'
Suffice to say, Sousuke was going to do multiple things. One check in on one of his surviving best friends. Two check in on his sennin. Three ... do something incredibly different which was go out on a social gathering with both. Sousuke would find himself going to Roku's apartment which was ... in, well it was alright. Untouched by that fire the two of them had put out some time ago. This was honestly a first, visiting Roku in his natural habitat. Sousuke wondered if this was going to be like his cousin's room ... not Matsu, but Jin'ichi who had gone missing (like several others in his life). Were there going to bottles upon bottles, and a mess that needed cleaning? Sousuke suspected that perhaps somewhere Roku was a neat and tidy person, like most military people. Sousuke would, with the exception of that room in the Kazekage tower, would consider himself neat and tidy. He made a mess with paperwork but that was fine. He would find Roku's apartment and knock on the door three times. "Roku. I know you're home. We have to do that thing that I do not do on a regular basis, we need to go out socializing and the likes. If you fail to answer the door in eight minutes, I will pick the lock and enter regardless. Bear in mind that what I am doing is a legal version of breaking and entry, less breaking more entry."<i></i>
