It was konoha's market day. Sun rays flashed into dray's eyes as he yawned and tossed on his bed. Not wanting to stand up,he wondered why he should go to the market anyway. Dray slept on. After a couple of hours, he finally stood up like he was being controlled by something. He went into bath tub and took a long time in there. After washing thoroughly, he finally came out and dressed up. He used up quality time in dressing up. unlike his usual days, today, he put on his green overall jacket and left it open with his black shirt and green trousers. He didn't go out with any weapons as he did not want to engage in any rigorous activity today. But on a second thought, a shinobi's life is never simple. He hid 5 senbons each outside his boots in a way that they would not hurt his legs. He also had 5 kunais places around his belt in a fashionable style that also wouldn't harm him and finally, he tagged two shurikens each to the right and left side of his jacket which made it look like badges. He hung his forehead protector round his neck in a brilliant form that made him look more handsome. Finally, he picked up a flower from his table. He had plucked the flower from one of his many trips to the forest. Being a forest man, he had a vast knowledge about plants and flowers in the forest. This flower he plucked had dusts in them that had good scents. He picked up the flower and sprinkled the dust on himself. A nice scent filled the room. Finally, he left his home and headed for the market district.

On his way to the district, a was humming a beautiful tune. A tune he hadn't hummed in a while. He was walking calmly. Not as brisky as he used to when going on missions, chasing down a target or answering the hokage's call.
Dray walked through the village and said hi to his friends and comrades as he walked past. They all showed an expression of suprise as to why he was full of excitement today. Dray also did not have any reason for his actions. He just felt like being different today. He got to a path that led directly to the market district but there it was. A stream of people. The path was swarming with people walking here and there. How the hell was he supposed to cross over without getting himself all messed up. Then, his shinobi instincts kicked in... It so simple. All you have to do is jump over a few shops and stalls and vooom.. You are there.... Cool, he though as he prepared to make his flight... But the gentleman in him spoke out...I don't think that such a good idea. Why make yourself known when you're not acting shinobi today?... With little deliberation, Dray decided to walk through the crowd like a normal civilian... He kept on walking as the stream of people grew larger and longer.. It looked like it had no end... Suddenly, he heard footsteps.. He waved off the thought... I am walking in a stream of people yet I claim to here footsteps... He thought as he chuckled... But there it was again, the foot steps getting faster.. Someone was running... Running towards him.. Closing in on him... Before he could pinpoint the location of the person running, a shadow was up above him. Planning to dig in on him... Can't there be a day without sudden occurences? He sighed as he said in his mind. His speed was more faster than the shadow as he turned his left leg backwards leaving his pivot on the same spot. He caught the shadow above him by the hand and twisted the arm a bit to the back at the same time, helping the image to stand on it's feet...
Now, what do you want with me.. Dray asked without looking to see who or what he was holding as he was more concerned with his jacket that now seemed a bit rough.
