Forever looking over Little Weeds. ((open For the love of nips open))

Flicking the ebony that rained down her back. The tall lengthy women flicked her wrist which released a kunai into the young mans clothing tag. Head turning with curious mystery as her student decided that instead of simply taking his shirt off, or with a good rip. That whirling himself up on the tree to dislodge the weapon was more effect. There was silence if only her wiggly pupil thumbing his tiny bubble body against the tree trunk. Then it happen seu slapped her knees, and burst out into a fit of laughter. Tears trickled down her smooth cinnamon skin as light from the day reflected over the training ground.
“OH god.’ She huffed trying to grab breath.
Now Seu had taught MANY students. So many she lost track of her paper work, and would one day have to hire a assistant to maintain her growing files. However seeing little Hiro try to pluck the Kunai with his body bent in more ways then a pretzel was worth the Senseis knowing chuckle.

“Sensei?” Hiro said finally letting himself loose from his knot which brought his weight in full, and the back of his shirt ripped with one clean sweep. Eaisly letting him down to the ground with only a minor thud.
“Sensei why are you laughing.’
‘Because it was so simply, and instead you decided to make yourself into a cinnamon bun.” Seu whimpered in laughter as she brought her self up, and to her student. “ I guess the lesson here is that its not THAT complicated. Simply let what happens flow.” The wise women told him as her hand came around his shoulders. The small Genin looking up to her as the sun shown in his eyes, but his senseis black mat eclipsed the light as the shadow she was known for.

“I supppose so Sensei.”Hiro blinked finding her ways curious if not enlightened. “Sensei why do you not have a team?” Hiro finally asked her so curious to why she kept to private tutoring.
Amber eyes blinked as Seu slowly turned her head to him, lip curling as they looked over the waving grass.
“IM not sure. I was not called to one. Its hard these days I suppose… But sometimes finding the potential In ONE student is just as rewarding as finding the balance in a well placed cell.,’
Seu’s hand came up and over her sensitive eyes seeing a figure walking up from the distance. Peculiar… she knew she was still running good on time. Surely his servants had not come for him now?

Saruno was just on his way through the village, not so much on a mission, just to do as he pleased, since he had nothing else to do. All his paperwork was done, he had gotten a good-night's rest, almost everything had been done that he had needed to be done. Seeing a Genin in the distance, with a womanly figure next to him, he noticed the figure to be someone he knew, and so, it was.

Sliding up the grassy plain towards the two, his black cloak swayed a bit with his movements, his hair neatly tucked under his straw hat. He was just in his casual clothing, nothing really to special for him. Tipping his hat just upwards, he looked to the woman's face, seeing that it was Seu, then one he met in the Sunagakure herbal greenhouse. "Hello Seu, i see your teaching as well as you pick your herbs.." he said within a dark kind of voice, looking to the Genin before him, "Pretty good..." he let up a small smile, sliding his hat off of his head.

It showed his crimson-streaked, white hair, showing immediately of his clan's nature, hair color changing. It was slightly annoying, having your hair color change on notice of emotion, but Saruno got over that years ago. It wasn't all so much to him to meet an old friend, but this was an acceptation, he loved to see some friends, especially good ones. "So how are you Seu, i haven't seen you in awhile" he said, sliding into a small bow of respect.

((Short but somethin'. ^^; ))

It was hard not to notice his strong presence. Seu had gotten so used to it when he gave her a tour over his village. Lips pursed with a low chuckle at his comment and nodded in agreement. If not teasingly. “Yes I’ve.. Been keeping to myself.” a long slender finger curled under her chin with the sentence. Amber eyes looking off to the side with a slight blush. “ What brings you here? So far from your moot? Seu asked him patting Hiro with affection before leaping on her feet, and wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug.
TO be honest Saruno was the first friend Seu felt she had in a very long time. Always grateful for his kindness to her when she went to his country.
“ Are you here for business? I mean with the Hokage and all?” Seu lifted her brows , bright eyed and bushy tailed. “ I suppose I shouldn’t ask , but…. Nothing has to leave my ears or lips ?”

After excusing Hiro, she walked with Saruno along the tall grassy training fields. “It really is good to see you.. So casual. Thanks for walking with me.,I am sure you’re a very busy man.” Seu chatted opening with him. Smiling with a warmth that was slowly kindling back with in the dark shadow women.

Saruno let up a small smile, walking along with Seu across the grassy plain, looking up to the sky with his crimson-shaded eye. His right eye was still in it's bandage, closely sealed for everyone's protection. "Well, i just came here for a bit of fun, i haven't had much to do since I've gotten my stuff done for the next few weeks..." he said a bit with a slow kind of voice. He didn't like talking about much, he was usually the quiet-type.

"And it is very nice to see you again, it's been just a while, hasn't it?" Saruno smiled all so softly, looking back to the ground, then to Seu. He showed her around Sunagakure weeks back, starting at the herbal greenhouse. He did a few things with herbs, and mixed a few while in those weeks, but for now, it'll be a surprise.

“Leisure hm?” Seu quirked looking to him with a mischievous hunger. “Well Konoha no Vacation spot, but im sure we can find something for you to mull your days away.” Seu smirked wiggling his nose to him.
“You know you seem very.. Casual. Laid back.. Is that your Real personality, or are you playing fox hole.” Seu asked rather bluntly throwing her arm around his, as she lead him off the beating bath into the forest. The sun was whirling through the foliage, like a green shimmered kaleidoscope. Seu had something she thought he like but it take a bit to gather the footing to get there. “ Because Im…..” Her feet stopped right on the edge of a vast cliff seeking deep down into a ravine dark and adventure rich.
“Carrying you down, friend.”

Hand wrangled the ropes from her pouches and began to tie the knots to descend over the cliff tops. “So what you say Saruno up to following a women int o the dark?” She teased again seeming overjoyed just to be with him again.

(sorry juggling but want to play ^^)

(Of course! ^^)

"Of course..." he said within a happy-kind of tone, "And, i have many personalities, not stopping at a casual kind.." he continued, looking to the cliff edge. Saruno wasn't all so scared of heights, it was the place she was taking him he was curious about. Sliding his back to the cliff, he pulled out a small bit of chakra from his palm, and to the edge of a small rock. He wanted to make sure it was safe, so he stood back facing the darkness of the cliff.

Seu, was pulling out some rope a the time, so he just awaited something to happen, and he would do as she would instruct, seeing as he didn't know the fire country all so well, neither the village as it seems.

(short but somethin')

Seu twisted the rope over into knots securing it to a good trunk. “ I would Go down as any other shin obi. But I learned the hard way when I was about Twelve. Something in the ravine centers your chakra out put. Almost neutralizes it. I think I know what it is, but that would spoil the surprise. You can use the technique tell about 67% down. Then its pure muscle.” Seu instructed handing the rope to him softly. Catching his eyes her amber ones smiled sweetly. “ Im sure you do Saruno-san. I hope you will show me more of yourself then.” Seu asked looking down about her waist as her hands tied the straps. Long locks of black hair swirling about her skirt as she tried to balance on the edge of the rock face.

Flipping the rope and turning around Seu winked to him. “ Come on I’ll race you down.” Her body jumped and she quickly ran down the cliff face obviously giving her self a head start knowing she’d need it. Her laughter echoed through the cavern in eerie but childish tones

Saruno raised his left brow in a bit of a playful manner, a small smile showing, "Than i shall beat you!" he said, a small laugh coming from him. Placing the chakra from around his palm to a rock, he kept a small rope around his right arm, in case he needed it soon enough. Sliding down the edge of the ravine's wall, it almost startled him when some of the chakra faded out, but quickly came-to when he pushed some more of the rope in. He kept his wings tucked safely in his cloak, but it wouldn't help much since they were slightly showing it's figure from out of the zippers of it.

Jumping from rock to rock on the ravine's side, he caught up with Seu, who was right beside him, yet it wouldn't last long. Nearing the center of the ravine, it was almost time to release the chakra, and use pure muscle. Saruno hasn't done much of that in a long time, but he always worked out every week, mainly every couple days. Which kept him up-to good shape. "Well, i guess it's time to see who can win..."

Seu ran with ease next to him with a bright smile, though her cheeks were flushed with red. “See huh? Oh I know already. Just cant keep a good women down.” The tug came sharp, to sharp. Seu was enjoying herself so much she forgot to counter for it. The rope tugged, pulling the jounin off her footing. There was a slight curse before seu began to tumble down the mount, and then fore seconds before tripping herself on the sharp quartz surface. It be a a nice point of some stalagmites through her middle if she didn’t think fast.
Her left hand queried a hand sign, but she was barreling fast down the rocky slope, rope to lose to snag. Shadows abundant but with out concentration it was going to be tricky.

Leaping from ever corner of the deep rich rock the shadows began to spring up into their master. Falling in sharp spines, and whips to wrap around her wrist and ankles hoping to slow the fall that would be her impalement.
( Sorrry rushed I dropped lasagna on my pants >_<))

Saruno quickly jumped from the ravine's side, the wings on his back tearing through the clothing of his cloak, opening to allow some air currents to flow under them. Slowly, but quickly, he rushed down the ravine's side, towards Seu with at least a great speed. It was going to be close if he didn't catch her in time. Yeah, he revealed his wings, but it was worth it to save a friends' life.

Sliding down the darkness of the area, he clicked his feet together, building more speed than he did. Stopping about 20 feet under Seu, he held out his arms to a length where he could catch her within a moment's notice. If the rocks didn't hold, he was there to save her.

The shadows sprawled upward to help guide her rescuers flight. Bending the wind to help “parachute’ his wings, and then caress around the two as fall turned to a glide. Seus back snapped lightly but was recovered by the grace of his arms. When the pain from the snap of the rope subsided at her waist, Seu was able to look up at him with clear eyes.
The moment she did they widened in their amber glory, though fading as the shadows covered the ravine completely. Which was nice thing cause seu knew her cheeks were hot, and not only from the embarrassment of her fumble.
“Sarumo-san…. You…” But her fingers had graced his bandaged eye on accident before she felt the impact of ground, and he let her to her own feet. Though her fingers didn’t leave his chin.
“ IM sorry I should have been more careful. Thank you for.. Saving me.” Seu blushed itching her nose as her hand came up to spout fires light into the dark cavern. Eyeing his marvelous form she tried not to stare but they (his wings) were glorious, as were he in them.
“How can I repay your skill.” seu asked finind his gaze and feeling her smile go girlish in the running thoughts.

Saruno simply smiled, feeling Seu's palm against his chin, seeing her just gaze at his elegant wings. They were useful on various occasions, yes, and they didn't need a hint of chakra to use. "It was nothing Seu..." he said within a playful sort of tone. It was sorta plain to see her blush on her cheeks, and a small crimson flushed a bit on his, turning a bit to try and hide it.

He simply picked up a small stick on the ground, flickering it a bit with a small portion of the rock around it, lighting it with a fire. The stick was easily burnable yes, and the darkness around them was pure, so it would be a bit tough getting through the ravine. The light didn't shine very well in the area, so it would have to be a good trip then. "It is alright Seu, it wasn't your fault that you fell" he said, letting up a smile on his expression. He was oh so joyous to make sure she didn't fall to her doom, so he saved her with a motion of some thoughts in his head.

He was being kind Seu knew that, but the free doom.. No the joy of having someone in her life with a feeling of friend ship.. Spun her senses away. Her hand gripped at her chest letting the fire die, and Sarunos torch light the way. The long rift was dark, and humid. Moss grew on the ends of the segmented rock, but the water trickle was easy to follow. “This way…” Her lean body moved through the crack, and nooks easily, but now she eyed his wings with fear. She wondered if he be able to get to the underground treasure she’d found so many years ago. Plopping into a hole nay bigger then her own work desk, her hand reached out to him. “ Almost feels like im playing again.. As a child.” She cooed watching his figure in the din light.

She was very comfortable with Saruno. Never second guessing his actions. Well yes, but not in a fearful way. Only in the knowledge of his position. Never threaten or pushed he simply was. Despite all the mystery that was now expanded about her newly found comrade. HE was still Saruno.. Seemingly easy going. This sparked a thought, and Seu mewed again in the dark, as she guided him.
“Your sister. That was your sister I met yes? You seem very close.” SEu probed cautiously, but only to be friendly. “ Shes very lovely to.”

Saruno kept his small smile, and followed her with his torch at hand. It was a quiet-kind of ravine, no sounds, no drops of water, it was dead silent except for a few roars here and there. Something was there, they just didn't know it yet. On his left arm hid a small mechanism, just in case some trouble went up. "Yes, we're close since the attack on our clan, she's a bit shy around people she doesn't know, but she tends to like people of her own gender..." he said, moving along the small hole, and through and through.

It was a deep ravine, he could tell that on the spot. "So, what is down here anyway Seu?" he asked her, seeing if she could give an answer. A small flicker came from the torch he held, a small movement of wind coursing through the ravine. 'That better not be-, oh god, i think it is...' he thought to himself. He switched his smile to an emotionless gaze, preparing for the worst, "I'd really like to know right now please..." he said softly to her.

The blue light bounced against her high cheek bones as they crawled out of, and into the large “pocket” of the cave hidden with in the ravine. Eyes looked over him with concern as his lips fell from a handsome smile, to a dead glare. “ Saruno?” She asked hesitantly blinking in confusion. “What.. What ever do you mean?” Stepping aside to let the tall man through the light glittered across his from in fast twinkles and ripples. Seu’s hand gently touched his cheek with the back of her hand, then pointing upward to the ceiling. With in the odd stalactites were large almost glass like pockets you could see the river crashing above them in swirl splendor. This odd formations went for what seemed miles under the ravine. A secret pocket of existence.

“ I always find a place to tuck myself away…. This is were I come to ..Remember.” Seu wanted to say forget but that was not true. This was her place to be to remember , to exist, and not the outside world could touch it. “Saruno-kun.. Are you all right?” Seu asked whispered in the rush of waves. Her hand held his shoulder again a touch soft but wanting to know her friend was alright.
