Knock Knock (Requesting Entry)

Snow didn't bother him, cold was something he quit feeling a long time ago. What did bother him was the apparent lack of care that went into looking out for him. The tracks of his boots in the snow led right up to the shadows of the gates, darker than the dark of night. He lifts his staff high, smiling slightly as snow began to fall around him. With a resounding boom, he brings the staff against those gates as he had so long ago.

”I do say, is anyone home? This is Isaki Hoshikata. I wish to speak with Hayata Shin.”

He steps back, hands ready to weave a defensive technique to flee should an attack come from the village. He had every reason to suspect such would, and no trust in these people not to try something of the sort. The red robes he was wearing were dark with moisture from absorbing the snow that came down from above, and with the hood up it was hard indeed to make him out. Hoshikata doubted they would spot him should he flee into the shadows, but he was not here to atagonize further, only to speak.

”Hello the gates. It's getting rather cold out here.”

(Bold, ain't I?)

A call reached Kushin. The name of the man outside was one which alerted the Sennin of the village, in particular Kushin. They shared a family name, cousins, if only by law. Kushin had taken the name as part of the arrangement in the marriage. It had also been a Chigokai custom, so that had been something which wasn't hard to organize. After all, the only way to guarantee a true bloodline is through a female, it would be the reason why his brother would be forced to take a member of the clan as his wife. Kushin however had been sold off... though he'd benefited from the finances himself of course.

He arrived on the Cloud side of the gates after grabbing his Sennin robe from the coat hanger in his office and departing. This was however a gates matter... he would let someone else greet the man on the other side. This was for two reasons.

Firstly he would have attacked the man for the indignity dealt to Kushin's wife, she'd been forced almost permanently indoors as her friends disowned her due to her clan name. Kushin had always been disowned so it hadn't affected him in the same way, and those who had to deal with him still had to deal with him, there wasn't much choice in the matter.

Secondly he wasn't the kind of person who would listen to reason. If the man was here even after he'd helped shinobi of Cloud go missing there would likely be a reason. Kushin knew this, but he also knew he wouldn't care about this.

So he would wait, he would take his place as had been requested by other leaders of the village, but he would wait for one of the more level headed leaders to lead this situation.

ONI-CHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!! Screamed the small girl as she had her mouth near Hyoujin's ear, causing him to wince slightly as he felt what he assumed were his eardrums rupturing from Akarui's screaming. Annoyed, he picked her up by the back of her collar and threw her down towards the ground in front of the man requesting entrance. However before she was about to land face-first, into the ground, Akarui snapped her small fingers quickly and soon her tiny little body disappeared and then reappeared on of Hyoujin's shoulders tugging at his hair. Rewd oni-chan! Rewd! Hyoujin jumped down from the top of the gates and walked towards the man with Akarui sitting on his shoulders, holding something folded in her hands. "Would you like this blanket sir to keep you warm? She said to the man, with a smile on her face.

Hyoujin reached behind Akarui's head and gave her a quick swat on the back of the head causing a yelp to escape from the girl's lips. "Quit messing around! Ask for the passport we've been over how to do this a thousand times already!" Hyoujin said, annoyed by the actions of his "sister".

"M-may we pwease see your passport sir? Akarui asked sweetly.

A rather ear piercing scream rent the night air as Hoshikata looked up, slightly startled. A girl came sailing over the edge at him, forcing the Seer to backstep before something hit him. Nothing of the sort happened, however, as she vanished and appeared on the shoulder of a man staring down at him. Words came down, words that meant nothing to him. A white eyebrow rose slightly at the sight, reminding him of why he left Cloud in such a hurry before. These people were nucking futs.

”I don't have one, I come from the now frozen lands of Mist. I'm merely passing a message along. If you happen to see your Raikage, do inform him that Takahashi Souske, the Kazekage-Steward of Sunagakure has agreed to appear at the Kage Summit in Moon. I'm now on my way to other lands to gain their own leaders for such.”

He steps back and his golden eyes seem to catch the moonlight and shine up at the man. ”And also inform him that I do not appreciate being attacked. He should keep a tighter leash on his dogs, for if I believed that fool had acted on his orders I would not be coming here peacefully as I have to pass along a message. If he can't control his own shinobi to reign in their actions, then he is a poor leader indeed.”

With those words spoken the golden man turns on heel and walks off. If this was the best response they could muster in the time frame granted, most likely the people he needed to speak to were well out of his reach of speaking for the moment.

Kushin listened to a reiteration of what was said through his headset.

None of it really bothered him, it wasn't any of his concern and none of it really helped his issues with the man on the other side of the wall. However he had a point, however superficial and despite the lack of evidence backing what he said. In the end Kushin wasn't going to stop the man from leaving either.

There was no need.

Also there were too many variables. If what he said was true then attacking Hoshikata might cause there to be issues between Cloud and Sand.

He'd wait around though, for if the other shinobi on the other side decided to act against the man for whatever reason he wouldn't want to leave them without aid.

The man was saying things! Things! Things! Things Hyoujin probably wasn't meant to hear. A Kage Summit? My oh my! What a glorious day it was for the duo indeed! He was attacked as well by Cloud? How could such thing be true? Man seemed to be like a good man even though he was praise the sun casual. "Uhhhhhhhhh... Sure. Lets get going Akarui." The small girl looked up a Hyoujin and smiled and walked with him back into the village to deliver the message. The message! The Kage Summit!
