Wondering around (closed RP)

[Sukuna Kiyo]

It was a cloudy afternoon, getting close to evening, and The streets were still active however, but not quite crowded. Akane was walking down the road, her arms crossed, and her hair up in a half ponytail, perfectly aligned on the center of the back of her head. She was wearing her "night out" clothing, a nice kimono with a pink butterfly pattern on it, and a pair of sandals. She was not going on a mission soon, so she decided to enjoy a night out. She was tired of spending time in her quiet house that seemed empty. Her mother never talked, all she did was sleep, eat, and sometimes earn cash. She tried not to stick around too much, so tonight she would treat herself.
Akane looked up to the sky, it seemed so peaceful, well at least she thought so. As she was walking, she remembered the last time she was out, someone tried mugging her, in the middle of a crowd none the less. As that thought crossed her mind, she felt a little paranoid and started to glance behind herself to check if there was anyone suspicious. What was that? She swore she saw a mean looking man staring at her. That was probably just her imagination. She shook her head trying to clear her fears, and paranoia. It was no use, she saw that man stand and start walking her way. Feeling scared, she took off running, closing her eyes tightly as she ran, no one chased her, but she could not shake off that fear that someone might try attacking her again. She did not have those jounin here this time, and she just did not feel safe.
Akane ran through the crowded street, her eyes closed tightly, so she was running blindly.

Re: Wondering around (Free RP)

Another evening of relaxation for Ri. A good drink, quality tobacco, and no one suspecting he wasn't actually allowed to use either of those things. This could only mean he would be in for an even better night when the sun went down, because then he'd probably have some eye candy to go along with his other treats. Sometimes he felt he spoiled himself a bit to much, but who cares? People seemed to be avoiding him as he walked down the street, most likely because he had his weapons on him, and he was drinking, so maybe they thought he may randomly attack someone.

After a while of simply walking around, his feet began to hurt and he decided it would be time to find a place to sit down and fully enjoy his tobacco. While he searched, the sun began to go down much lower than it was before, and the meaner crowd began to show it's face. But it still wasn't close enough to night time for that to be the only character in the crowd, so it was still pretty empty overall. Like the calm before a storm. Ri didn't really care what kind of crowd there was though, in fact, the meaner the crowd, the easier it is for him to get away with illegal drug use!

He finally found a nice quiet alleyway that he would be able to rest in, but as he went to turn in, something ran into him. At this moment, all of time seemed to slow down as he dropped his drink and the pipe he was preparing. He could hear himself slowly yelling "Nooooo!" as he watched the fragile container and expensive herbs fall onto the filthy ground beneath him. It was a painful experience, and one that greatly angered him. Turning to face whatever ran into him, he immediately shouted.

"What's the deal! Watch where you're goi-" He stopped himself before he finished, since he noticed it was a girl not much younger than him. 'Oh crap, I'm gonna look like a total douche bag now..' He thought to himself as he looked at this girl. Seeing how he just yelled at a girl, and made a big mess, he attracted a lot of attention from the crowd. Some of which may not be wanted.

"Alright, so unless you want this night to be a bad one, you may want to follow me.." Ri said to the girl as he walked past her. He was headed into the alleyway he would've rested before, and was planning on making his way to the road on the other side. He would stop half way through the alleyway to either wait for the girl or simply check to make sure she followed.​

Re: Wondering around (Free RP)

Akane truly was not paying attention to her surroundings, she blocked out the noise of the crowd even. She really did not give it much thought, what if she ran into a person, or worse, she ran into a person who would kill her? Before she could think of what could happen, it happened. She ran into someone, head first. She bounced back and stumbled back onto the ground. 'What, or who did I hit?' She asked herself as she heard a "NNoo" then a crash of a cup, or glass of something hitting the ground. She hesitantly opened her eyes to look at who she hit. It was a boy, he looked scary, and he started to shout at her. She didn't mean to run into him, but she could not get any words out, as her eyes started to tear up. He stopped in mid sentence, but her fear still over whelmed her, was he going to kill her for running into him? She was not sure if she could fight him off. Now another fear entered her mind, She felt like her belt was not centered anymore from the fall. It didn't loosen, it just felt like it turned slightly. 'What the hell...' She thought to herself, though her expression stayed the same fearful teary eye'd. Why was she thinking about that? Old habits die hard, even in danger it seemed.

He told her to follow her, it kinda sounded like a threat. She blinked and then rubbed her eyes, and stood. He walked into the ally, this was no good. She felt the need to follow him, but in the ally there would be no witnesses. She did have a single junai hidden on her just in case, but her worried thoughts flowed in. She nodded to herself and followed him. She was content, and focused. Her heart thudded against her chest hard as she followed him. She stayed at least ten feet behind him, and she was very quiet. She stopped as he stopped, she glance d at him, her eyes still filled with fear, but she seemed to be in control of it, for now. She stared at him, but then reached up and attempted to straighten her belt as she thought of it once again. Having anything unlined would be no good, though she prefered not to die with her last thoughts being about something that is not straight.

Re: Wondering around (Free RP)

When Ri turned around, he certainly didn't expect to see a girl that looked like she was about to die. I mean, he did yell at her, but he didn't think he was that harsh.. He covered his face with his hand for a moment and took a deep breath in, he would now have to deal with this, and it'd probably be a hassle. In order to make himself seem less intimidating, he removed his straw hat from his head and revealed his whole face, leaving the hat hanging from his neck. Allowing a smile come across his face, although it was fake, he would try and comfort the girl.

"Look, sorry about that. And this, I guess I didn't really make it seem like it was a good thing that I had you follow me." He scratched his head, then continued. "So let's try this again... Hi I'm-" Another sentence that had to be cut off... This night that seemed like it could be good was just turning into more and more of a hassle. Some of the people that had turned their attention to the two decided to follow them into the alleyway, and they didn't look like they were advertising their product. Ri knew exactly what their intentions were, and figured he'd beat them before they had the chance to fulfill them.

"Damned night just keeps on getting worse.." He mumbled to himself as he drew his bow and knocked an arrow. Pulling back the string, he fired the first arrow, and several others, into the men that had followed. Of course, he didn't hit them anywhere lethal, since that would just cause even more trouble. Approaching the men who were now on the ground moaning in pain, he noticed ink leaking from one of their pockets. Perfect, now he wouldn't have to deal with this directly.

With a little more searching, he came across a pen, which he dipped in the ink. Ripping a piece of cloth from one of the men's shirts, he wrote a note which said, "Please get us medical care!" and tied this note onto one of the arrows. Now that all of that was out of the way, he turned back to the girl.

"As I was saying, I'm Ri." He stuck out his hand for a handshake, and didn't even notice that he had a mixture of blood and ink on it. Though he wouldn't normally care unless it was an older woman, he didn't know how a female that seemed as fragile as this one would feel about it. And whether his hand was accepted or not, he would begin his walk toward the other street and make a hand motion, signaling for the girl to follow.​

Re: Wondering around (Free RP)

Akane stared at him, watching cover his face, then she watched him remover his hat. She blinked as he smiled, was he trying to comfort her with that smile? It seemed a little uneasy feeling to her, maybe it was the thought that mattered. She was not sure what to think about him, maybe he was not planing on killing her after all. She was still on her toes though, at least she thought so. She listened to his sentence, her facial expression changing from a fearful one to more of a mix of a confused and curious one. He was weird, but she probably misread him. If she hadn't been paranoid, or just in that kind of mood, she probably would have reacted different to him. He said he was sorry, but she should be the one apologizing, she made him drop his- before she could finish the thought she sensed men coming, they did not seem friendly. She looked at them, and just like that she saw arrows fly into them.

Akane watched as they fell to the ground groaning. So fast, it ended so fast, she was curious of what they were planing, too late to find out now. She watched him write a note, at least he was thoughtful. Though she had an idea of what their goal was, she would have left them. But that was her opinion. Akane saw him lift his hand for a shake after he stated his name. Ri. Without looking at his hand, or noticing the ink and blood on it, she shook his hand. "Thank you. My name is Tsukino Akane, its nice to meet you Ri." She stated with a smile, she did loosen up and forget her fears now. Though she felt something wet on her hand, she looked at her hand to see the blood and ink mix. She was more worried about it getting on her clothes as it would stain it, well more like through the perfect pattern off. She wouldn't mind if the kimono had a black or red pattern. She took out a cloth, and wiped her hand dry. The ink stained her hand, but she could deal with it. The only thing that bothered her was now one hand was stained, and the other one was not. She shook the feeling off, and looked to see Ri had already started walking!

She flinched then took large, fast steps to catch up to him. She walked beside him, she was shorter than him, most definitely. She looked up at him. "Sorry for making you loose your-...." as she thought about it, she swore she saw him drop a pipe, and some kind of herb, not only that, the drink he dropped smelt like alcohol. "That was Alcohol you were drinking wasn't it? I am not sure if you had some other illegal substance, but I am pretty sure that smells like alcohol." She stated with a smirk, she thought it was kinda funny, he was under aged most deffinately. Though she also wondered if he had ever been caught with it. She was glad that she was not caught with him having it. She was trying to become a medical nin after all.

Re: Wondering around (Free RP)

When the girl mentioned the fact that he had alcohol, his facial expression became a bit darker. Not because she knew it was alcohol, but because he was reminded that it had been wasted as the bottle it was in shattered on the ground. And that the quality of the tobacco had been ruined as well, just when he had almost forgotten about that, damn... Well, no use making the night even worse by retaining his anger toward that situation, he might as well just answer her question and be done with it. Ri looked at her just as they came onto the other street and sighed after he noticed she was smirking.

"Indeed it was alcohol, and it's only illegal if I get caught with it. He stated. He'd have to at least buy another bottle in order to make up for the fact that he didn't even get close to finishing the one he had. The tobacco he could deal with, but alcohol was definitely something he didn't want to waste. Oh well, he'd have to get away from this girl before he could do anything else, so maybe he could try and rush it? And why was she running anyway?

"So why were you running? Didn't think anybody would be in a hurry at this time of night. A smile meant to mock the girl came across his face after a moment, and he looked at the girl again. "Unless you have a curfew, did you not want to get in trouble, little girl?" It could be fun to get his revenge on her by making fun of her, so long as he could keep on making up clever things to say. Wouldn't be to funny to him if he simply repeated what he had just said over and over. Unless it really irked her, then it may still be worth it.

The sun was now completely replaced by the moon as they continued their walk through the streets, and the crowd seemed to be made up of only the bad faces. But thankfully, they didn't seem to interested in the two. Probably because they didn't cause a scene on this street, so that was even better for Ri. This just meant that no one would assume he was to young for the alcohol he would mostly likely buy, and he wouldn't have to deal with any more potential muggings. Unless he saw one going on and it happened to be an attractive woman being the victim, then he would have an obligation to save them.​

Re: Wondering around (Free RP)

Akane noticed his face darkened, and she blinked, she had forgotten to say sorry for that. Sure it was illegal, but it costed money, and she made him waste it. She blinked again at his statement, 'Illegal if your caught.' Made sense, but she didn't think she could risk that. It might ruin her chances of becoming a genin, or a med nin. Either way, she pulled out her wallet, and looked inside of it as he continued talking, and they both continued walking. Why was she running? She wasn't in a hurry, but now that she thought about it, she didn't remember why.

"I don't know why I was running, I was in no rush, I have all night to spend. I don't have a curfew either, My mom really does not care if I disappear, or if I stay. So I often leave the house for long periods of time." Akane explained, simply. It did bother her, being called a little girl, but it was the truth, but she would be growing up, she was at her maturing age after all. She took out some of her Yen, and looked at him, "Sorry for making you waste that stuff, would this cover the cost? Maybe if I buy you a meal too. Its the least I can do, Oh and thank you for taking out those men too!" Akane spoke, remembering all the actions that had taken place, she felt like she owed him, so she would repay him. She had enough money for a good night out, she was planing for herself, though its much more fun to eat with someone else for a change. She hardly notice the bad faces, but her attention was more on her thoughts, and talking than anything. Until she spotted the moon. That was her favorite thing to see, it was so big and bright. It also reflected off of her blue eyes. After glancing at the moon she looked at him to see his reply.

Re: Wondering around (Free RP)

Shin always enjoy his nightly strolls, there was something serene about the night that called to him. Maybe it was his ancestors blood in his veins, or the company the usually accompanied the nighttime hours, whatever it was it keep him at peace. Shin glanced around at the civilians within the economic part of the village, taking in the smells and the communication between people. His blue eyes scanned a the crowd, noticing a few of the unsavory characters taking notice of his presence. I wonder how they will react once their feel my aura. Shin allowed a small smile to touch his lips as he continued walking towards the crowd, noticing some of the people moving out of his way before he reached them. While the [Demonic Aura] that clung to his body didn't affect them at all, he could sense the nervousness on people as the presence of darkness and evil rolled of him. Even the bunch that had been eyeing him up before start to back off slightly, their averting their eyes from the man as he walked passed.

Shin just shook his head as he continued his stroll, attempting to find something to accompany his time for the evening before he would have to return home. Taking a sniff of the air, his eyes narrowed as he caught the smell of blood/ink mixing in with the odors of district. Breaking himself from the crowd he notice the injured thugs on the ground, his smile dropping from his face and his body becoming slightly tense as he walked over to them. Any moans of pain they were having seem to die down as the notice his presence and the aura leaking off of him. Any humor in his eyes were replaced by a cold, lethal gaze as his scan them, looking down the alley and noticing to persons moving to another area, their distance being a bit off for him to know their genders. Looking down at the quiet thugs, he took note of the arrows, they had been shot to immobilize, not kill. Who ever did this was somewhat skilled, yet Shin didn't agree with letting them off lightly. But, justice was done, and he was more interested who the man's skills then petty would be attackers. As he walked pass them, he spoke, leaving a clear threat should this happen again.

"Next time, it won't be arrows."

Picking up his pace past, he attempted to catch up with the two individuals. He was curious about their method and wanted to know the full story before he came to a decision. Hopefully they would notice his presence, and allow him to stop before he was right next to them. They last think he need was one of them giving nervous because of his aura and not allowing him to explain. Shin rather this go smoothly so he could continued his moonlight stroll.

Re: Wondering around (Free RP)

When Akane began pulling out her wallet, Ri began feeling a bit awkward. Even though he did want to get pay back for her making him waste his drink, he didn't want that kind of pay back. People paying him just felt.. Weird. "Put your wallet away, it's fine. The offer for dinner, however, was one that he could accept. Although he wouldn't make her pay for it, maybe her half, just not his. But dinner would be fine, where would you want to eat?" There didn't seem like there would be anywhere they could eat at this time of night, at least not without getting harassed by some thug, so they'd probably have to go someplace else in the village.

All of the things they were talking about were distracting Ri a bit,but when he suddenly felt another source of chakra, he had to investigate, especially since it was normally some hot ninja lady. Those were the best kinds of ladies. It seemed like it was nearby, so he decided he'd turn around to try and find it. Of course, there it was, a man that was seemingly following them.. Damn. Was it another person trying to mug them? Or did they want to interrogate Ri for what was obviously his handy work, considering how he was the only one carrying a bow around right now. Might as well find out instead of avoiding them, could just make more trouble if he tried to run.

Stopping in the middle of the road caused several people to almost run into him but he didn't really care, and he soon turned around so he avoided some people yelling at him. "Wait there for a sec, I'll be right back." He said to Akane, but didn't really care whether she listened or not. Ri would walk toward the man, not with any kind of threatening facial expression, more of an annoyed one really. So many people seemed to be interrupting his night of fun.. As he neared the other man, he opened his mouth to speak.

"So are you following us? Or am I just embarrassing myself by assuming you are? He would say, of course he felt stupid for asking. They lived in a village populated by ninja for goodness sake! There were probably plenty of people around them that had some kind of chakra he could sense, it just so happened that it was this man that he could, so why did he care? Whatever, it was to late now, so he might as well just deal with whatever consequences may come of this..​

Re: Wondering around (Free RP)

Akane blinked at him, then she put her wallet away. She shrugged, that was fine with her if he didn't want to get payed back in cash. She then pondered on the question on where to eat, thats when she noticed all the bad people around. She wished she could just act like they would mind their own business, but she knew first hand that most of these guys would try something. She shuddered at the thought of being attacked again, she wasn't strong yet she had enough guts to come into public again. Not only that, at night time. "I am not sure, we can always try a home owned restaurant, those are usually peaceful. She suggested, even in the evening they seemed quite decent, mostly because the house wives wont put up with stuff, depending on what place it was.

Akane blinked as Ri started to walk back! She couldn't sense anything, she wasn't paying attention either. She stopped to look at him. She didn't want to wait in the crowd, in fear that she might get attacked, so she followed him. She wasn't sure if he would mind, but either way she refused to be left alone in this crowd. She stopped and then stepped to stand next to ri as he had stopped walking. Some people running into him. She just avoided being ran into, seeing as she did not want to be knocked down. Akane spotted the person Ri was talking too. This guy was following them? She shuddered slightly, then hid behind Ri at the mention of him following them. Standing a foot behind Ri, She peeked out from behind him to look at the guy again. Who was he? he looked scary but her senses were too dull and distracted to sense his chakra or aura.

Re: Wondering around (Free RP)

Shin sized up the boy as he approached him, noticing the bow on his person. He doubt regular civilians would be so brazen as to care a weapon on in the open, so the boy must be a shinobi. He narrowed at the boy clear annoyance at being followed, but until Shin knew the full details of the encounter, he truly didn't care. As shinobi of the village, they were expected to uphold the laws set down and while Shin knew that the boy probably avoid a mugged from the group he had passed, there were a few details missing. Looking down at the boy, he waited for him to speak to him, almost smirking at the obvious answers, making sure that the tension his body had lightly.

"It's rather hard not to, with you leaving your handwork back there. I'm just here to get the full details of the encounter and I'll let you and your companion care on with your night. "

Shin turned his gaze to the female that was approaching, clearly picking up on her fear, before his left hand scratched the scar on his neck. Rather old for one so young to be out at these times of night. Rather reckless of her and him.

"I didn't mean to frighten you nor your friend, just want to have all the facts. People get nervous seeing random bodies on the street. Though I must also admit, your fear is going to making you a likely target around here, especially at this time of night."

Shin look up to stare at any people, walking pass them, his eyes making it clear that he wasn't in the mood of any surprises. Once he was assured that there would be no more problems, he glanced back down at the two, before realizing he forgot the mention his name. Probably should mention my rank, it might make this conversation go easier.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kurogane Shin, Chuunin."

[Uragaeshi Riyoji]

Companion, huh? Crap, is that what this looks like? He disliked the girl more than anything, they were just about to get dinner, but that doesn't change the fact that he didn't like her. Another thing that irritated him was that fact that he though no one would follow him if he left the note. And how did this guy gett hem medical attention that fast anyway? Was he with the med-nin? Well, if it'd get him off their back, he might as well give him the details.

"Well, as we were walking through the alleyway to get to this street, a few of those guys came in and walked up to us like they were going to do something. So before they got the chance, I shot them." The explanation may end up being taken incorrectly, but it'll have to do for now. He could always try and convince him not to take them into custody if the guy didn't believe his story. I mean, come on, he did leave a note didn't he?

Looking behind him, he saw that Akane was cowering. What was so scary about him? He had the same feeling as someone else he had met before, and if it didn't bother him then it wouldn't now. Although he can see why it would scare some, but it isn't unlike his genjutsu he uses for intimidation. That and he never really cared to much about things that should be frightening. It'll most likely get him into some shit eventually, but for now it seemed to be helpful.​

 

[Sukuna Kiyo]

Akane listened to them as they spoke, she tuned out the rest of the crowd. She was quiet, and stared to stare at the other male, she had never seen him before. But as he spoke, she picked up that he was not a threat. She listened as Ri spoke, and once he got done, she waited a few seconds before she stepped up, and extended her arm out to the other male. She stood about 2 feet from shin, and gave him a smile.
"I believe those guys were going to mug us. So I hope it was no big deal." She explained with a firm nod. "My name is Tsukino Akane, academy student, I just met Ri here. it is very nice to meet you Shin!" She stated, then gave shin a big grin, seeing that he meant no harm she decided it was safe to introduce herself. "We were about to grab some dinner too!" she stated then she heard her stomach grumble a bit thinking about food.
She was not scared anymore, she could sense something, but the crowd around them didn't have a pleasant aura either. She didn't really think about it too much, she was worried, but this was ten times better than staying home alone. Thought she did not pick up on him saying companion, she assumed he met someone that was just there, nothing more. She did not know Ri, so she was not thinking that way at all. She still felt she owed him for making him spill his drink, and drop his herbs, or whatever it was. She would not mind another to join them for dinner either, if Ri didn't mind. The more the merrier, she always thought, mostly because she rarely ate dinner with people who actually talked.

[WC 312]

 

[Nara Raian]

Shin remained silent during the other males speak, his eyes narrowing as he noticed the young male clear irritation at the situation. It's clearly self-defense, but even but their intent is just speculation, they could have just been testing their reactions. He look at the young woman, who stopped cowering and started to approach Shin, raising her arm outward. Shin smiled, reciprocating the gesture before allowing his arm to return to his side. He remained silently as the academy student introduced herself as Tsukino Akane and the male as Ri. So the two of them are complete strangers..interesting. He waited for Akane to finish speaking and nodded.

"The good news is I don't see any reason to take the two of you in to custody. It's clear that you both were the victims, even if the intention wasn't carried out. I'm sure the proper authorities have found your attempted muggers and will make sure they receive any necessary treatment. Though I do wonder why you two are even in this part of town at your age. Probably something not very law friendly I'm guessing."

This could explain the boys irritation, however this hardly mattered to Shin. At this point is what just speculation and even then people were allowed to do what they pleased. As long as it wasn't counterproductive to the village, he didn't mind.

"But, I was both your ages once, you don't have to tell me. But if is all the same to you two, I'll walk with you two to dinner. A group of three is less likely to be a target."

He'd rather have the night end well without having to worry about these two attaching unnecessary attention.

 

[Uragaeshi Riyoji]

This guy was really starting to piss him off, did he not see what he did to the guys that just tried to mug them? Yet he thinks they need an escort to where ever it was they were going to be getting dinner? Hopefully he wouldn't try to be the hero if anyone did try anything, that would just push Ri over the edge. Besides people with forceful personalities, people who simply assumed things were the people he hated most. Well, if he had to deal with him for even longer, he might as well try his best to tune him out. Ri began walking the way they were before and looked back.

Well, if we're getting dinner, we should probably get going. It's getting late, and it'll just keep getting late the more time we waste here. After saying this, Ri adjusted his straw hat so that the shade covered his face completely. It would be hard for anyone to see any facial expressions he makes, which is exactly what he was after since he could tell the only thing he was expressing was absolute irritation. If he hadn't been run in to, he may have been able to handle the Chuunin that decided to follow them, but obviously it didn't help his mood.

"Back to you mentioning us doing a illegal things, we actually weren't. I for one simply enjoy walking around at this time of night. This statement was probably a bit hard to believe considering where they were, so Ri decided to clarify. "And seeing how I know I can handle a couple of thugs, I don't really care where I go, I just wander. Now obviously what he said was a lie, he just wanted to make sure that he didn't get into more trouble. Even though he was reassured that the man didn't care, people can be lying bastards. Just like he was being right now for example.

As he walked, Ri popped his knuckles to give him something to focus on. He didn't completely want his anger to go away, and doing this somehow helped. He didn't really know how, but it certainly did. The irritated look on his face slowly evolved to something a bit more extreme, for it was now a look of rage. This would be the reason that he had his hat down so low to cover his face, because he knew that when he gets made, he gets really mad.​

{MFT}

 

[Sukuna Kiyo]

Akane listened as Shin spoke, and noded firmly to him.She was not up to anything illegal, she didn't know it seemed like that. She turned her head to glance at Ri, who had started to walk away, she blinked and turned to follow him, she waved her hand towards Shin, motioning him to follow. "Oh, yes! I am starving most definately. Shin-san, I happy you are joining us!" Akane said cheerfully, She didn't know if Ri minded, but either way she believed more the merrier. She did seem out of place in this crowd, her clothing was nice, her crimson hair was done all nicely, she did stick out like a sore thumb. But she liked dressing up whenever she went out.

"I was actually looking for a fun night out, I have not done anything Illegal." She stated then she looked at Shin with a grin, she didn't seem the type to get into any trouble, she wouldn't do it willingly with out a push at least. Akane listened as Ri spoke again, stating he was not up to anything bad, but she did not say anything, no point in doing so anyways. "I had nothing better to do, sitting in a quiet house is boring." She shrugged as she spoke again.

After a minute or two of walking, Akane pointed at a restaurant, "Lets eat there!" She stated as she started walking towards it. It was a small noodle shop, it was not very busy, but it had a good smell coming from it. Whether or not the two followed akane stepped into the restaurant, and picked out an empty table to sit at.

[WC 294]

 

[Nara Raian]

Shin glanced at the boy known as Ri began walking, seeming to leave without either Akane or himself. Shin said nothing as the boy turned back and spoke to him, only silently activating his third eye, feeling something very off with Ri. While he couldn’t get a read on his facial expression, he could feel the irritation coming off the boy. Shin began walking again, this time following Akane after being signaled to. He didn’t say anything while Akane spoke to him, almost chuckling as she was explaining she wasn’t doing anything illegal. He already explained that it didn't matter to him, but to each their own. He simply nodded and continued walking, turning his vision back towards, Ri, who began speaking again, though with his back to them as he walked. As the boy continued talking, the friendliness in Shin’s eyes started turning slightly lethal. Yeah, because I’m going to believe the kid speaking to me with his back turned. However it wasn’t Ri speech that his sense was picking up on, his was his attitude that was beginning to make him slightly annoyed. He turned slightly to address Akane as she shrugged and spoke of boredom.

“That’s understandable.”

Shin continued walking with the two in silence, his annoyance with Ri’s attitude causing the friendliness with his eyes to start to disappear even more as his blue pupils became colder. The boy popping his knuckles wasn't helping either. I will smash his head onto the ground if he comes at me; regulations be damned. Shin frowned, shaking his head slightly. He shouldn't allow the boy to get to him, he had to remain calm and collected. While these two were years off from becoming potential teammates and allies, it wasn't in the best interest of his to make an enemy of someone from the same village, even if his people skills need work. Shin eyes returned neutral, calming the demonic blood that rain through his veins.

Shifting his sight away from Ri, he noticed Akane moving towards what appeared to be a small noodle shop. Well it a good place as any. Shin started walking towards her direction, however he stopped and turned to look at Ri, making sure speak so that only the two of them could hear his speech. He didn’t know if Ri would listen, but he would speak regardless.

“I know you can take care of yourself Ri, what you did to those thugs clearly shows that. But, it never hurts to have some allies now and again.

Not checking to see if he would follow, he continued towards Akane, stopping only to sit at the table she found for the group.

OCC: I used Shin's Third eye to pick up on Ri's emotion, not his actual face. I hope that didn't seem like a godmode.

Ri would occasionally look back at the other two to make sure they didn't suddenly turn to go some other direction, and it seemed each time he did, the other man got gradually more irritated as well. Good, he felt accomplished if he managed to piss someone else off with his own anger. Eventually, he noticed them both enter a restaurant, and moved to follow them in. He made a "tch" noise when Shin told him he knew that he could handle himself, but that wasn't a "whatever" kind of noise. It actually just made him a bit more mad, but if he was going to eat with dude he better make the best of it. Before entering the restaurant, he took a deep breath in, made his face straight again, then removed his hat, allowing it to hang from his neck on his back.

He joined the two at the table Akane seemed to have found for them, and watched as the waitress came over and asked them for their orders. Ri really had no idea what he wanted, and he didn't even look to see what kind of restaurant this was so he felt a bit ignorant as to what he should even order. To cover for his mistake, he simply said, I'll take your best." with a smile. The waitress returned the smile and nodded as she jotted down his order, the waited the order from the other two.

As he waited for them to reply, he would glare at Shin, but soon realized that he was glaring and stopped. This guys really didn't leave a good impression on him.. Or maybe he did and his anger from previous events simply blinded him to the fact he was a good guy. Didn't matter now though, because at this point all he really knew was that he really didn't like him. And even though he really wanted to fight him, he most likely wouldn't since it'd be a hassle. He didn't even know how strong he was, just that he was a chuunin, maybe they were equal in power and Ri was just lazy. Either way though, one of them would probably end up needing medical attention, so for now, screw that.​

Akane was seated before the other two, she did notice that they took a little bit before actually coming in. Did they peak to each other? She shrugged it off, and smiled at them happily, oblivious to their moods. "Last time I was at this place was almost five years ago, Mom and dad used to eat here all the time." Akane stated trying to spark up a conversation. She didn't like the quiet too much, seeing as thats how it was for her more than half of the time. She listened as Ri ordered, she was not sure what their best was. She nodded to the waitress "I will have beef ramen and your best tea." She stated then she gave the waitress a grin. She watched the Waitress write it down, then the waitress looked at Shin.

Akane couldn't really remember all what they had, but she could smell it. It made her stomach grumble, and her mouth water as she smelt the air, though she got a wiff of the blood and ink smell again. It did not through off her appetite though. She glanced towards Ri who was glaring at Shin. Why is he glaring? does he have a problem with shin? Akane thought to herself, then she looked at Shin. She didn't see why, maybe it was just a guy thing, maybe he felt challenged or something. It seemed a little childish to her, but she kept quiet and shrugged it off. Ri wasn't much older than him, but his face could be mistaken as an adult.

Looking forward to your future posts Ri.

"Must be nice to eat somewhere familiar then, huh Akane-chan."

Shin spoke attempting to help at the girls keep the conversation going. He would have asked Ri a similar question had he not noticed the glares the boy was throwing at him. He found the boys attitude rather amusing now that he had calmed his blood. If Ri was expecting another a confrontation, he was going to be disappointed. Shin would rather not have to cause this night ending on a hospital visit. Don't want to injury his ego. Shin smirked slightly at his private joke before turning his gaze at the waitress.

"I'll have the spicy pork ramen and a glass of water." Shin said smiling at the waitress as she finished writing down their orders, leaving to give them to thee cook. He closed his eyes for a second, enjoying the wonderful smell of food and the slight hint of blood. Opening his eyes once again Shin glanced around the table, attempting to gauge the mood. One seems to hate my guts for whatever reason, and the other seems rather oblivious to certain situations. Not the visit choice in making allies, but they will do. As long as he didn't find something that would keep triggering Ri's mood, he didn't see why this night couldn't end on a positive note. Seeking to break the silence, Shin spoke again, attempting to find more information about the two strangers.

"I was wondering Ri-kun and Akane-chan, what are your ranks? You both seem like either Genin or Academy Students, so I didn't want to make a bad assumption."

It wasn't an interesting topic to begin with, but he'd rather start off with a safe topic, before he did something else that caused the boy to attack him. Hopefully if won't come to that, but knowing my luck, eh.
