Blue eyes slowly swept over the alley, the gloom obscuring all but what the stars above wanted those below to see as the girl hunched her shoulders allowing the cloak she wore to embrace the darkness and keep her features hidden as she moved about the darker placed within the village hidden in the sand. Walking forward the cloaked figure kept a careful eye on the figures hunched in the dark recesses of the alley as they tried to size her up but deciding the fight wasn't worth as the cloaked person walked with the gait of a trained fighter.
Eventually the figure came to a stop at what looked like a bakery that had long gone out of business, the faded paint and the sign hanging haphazardly from decayed nails a testament to how long this building has been left to rot as the figure stepped through the broken remnants of a rotten wooden door and disappeared within. Inside the bakery was burnt furniture and soot cover walls most likely from a fire long ago and in the centre of the shop floor was a large hole the floorboards having been wrenched out and a man made tunnel with small lit torches hanging from sconces illuminating the way. Pulling her hood down now out of sight of the street, Kou shook her head gently her blonde hair swaying with motion as if she was trying to get rid of bed hair or something while sharp features were set into a small scowl as she looked for any hidden guards that may bar her way.
Stepping into the tunnel and finding herself left alone Kou continued into the tunnel and soon found herself stepping into what looked like an old evacuation tunnel. Following a sign on the wall that simply said night market Kou followed the tunnel until she heard the distant sounds of talking and the smell of food and spices that would have been more appropriate in the business districts of the village. It didn't take long for the girl to step out of the tunnel and arrive at her destination as she stepped into a large cavernous room carved from the rock deep under the village. The massive cave was filled with stalls of various illicit goods with small store fronts carved into the cave walls allowing more affluent owners to watch the bustling market. Here in the night market anything illegal could be found whether that be an Uchiha's eyes or weapons stolen from dead ninja in the civil war not that Kou cared for any of these goods except for a small shop towards the back of the cave. Weaving through the crowds Kou headed for her destination.
