1 I Can't Believe They Let Me Teach Students! (Kokai Tsumi/No Kill) Tue Feb 07, 2017 3:09 am
Shigeki
Dead
Shigeki hadn't gone out to the bars like he usually did the night before, and he hadn't stayed up particularly late with Kensai either, the two of them having a fairly quiet night. He generally had to have some kind of activity, but simply being near someone seemed to do it for him now that he was back at work. He was kind of enjoying living the shinobi lifestyle again, and he had fallen asleep fairly easily. When he awoke naturally, he managed to beat Kensai up for the first time since...well he couldn't remember the last time that had happened. He brushed some hair away from Kensai's face and got out of bed, deciding he would leave the man to sleep as he got ready to take on his day. It was a fairly quick shower this morning followed by the usual grooming regime, brushing out his medium length blonde and pink hair, cleaning each of his three lip rings, putting on the black mesh shirt, the black jeans, knee high platform boots, knee length leather overcoat, black fingerless gloves, collar with the Iwagakure symbol and wristbands with studs on them. It had become pretty systematic to adorn himself in clothing a little bit more befitting of a shinobi than what he was used to wearing, and it kind of felt good at the same time. He grabbed an apple and a banana on his way out the door, and smiled as he left, one of very few genuine smiles.
The sun was quite lovely today, and the young Kanetsu had decided that he would take a trip up to the waterfall point. He was asked to meet a young genin there who apparently was looking to learn chakra flow, which as a genjutsu user Shigeki was particularly skilled in. He figured if nothing else, he would hopefully be able to help the student there a little bit more, but ideally he would be able to take a little bit more away from the encounter. As he made the trip he noticed the change in temperature fairly instantly between the hot inner rings of the residential area of the village and the much cooler area around the waterfall. The mist from the falls was fairly nice, even though it did make Shigeki a little bit colder than he generally liked to be. As a Kanetsu he liked things hot, much past a point where people would generally be comfortable. His clan's home was in the base of a volcano, and most people found it absolutely unbearable to even go near there, let alone live and train in that location. To be perfectly honest, it was a little bit warmer than Shigeki himself found comfortable, but he still didn't particularly have any issue with it.
When he got towards the top of the falls he looked down and sighed. He wasn't super comfortable around water, and never particularly had been. A shower was one thing, as there was no way you were going to fall into a shower and drown from the current of the water dragging you under, but being at the top of this waterfall made him fairly nervous. There was a good chance of falling in and plummeting to a rocky death at the bottom, a death that would be most unfitting for a shinobi like himself. When he was younger he had actually thought of throwing himself from the falls, but his fear of not only water, but also heights, had prevented him from doing so. If he was going to take his life, he was going to find a better way to do it than that. He would rather throw himself into an active volcano than throw himself off of the falls, as at least it would be warm. He decided that it probably wasn't a good time to think of this, and he leaned with both arms wrapped over and around the guard rail behind his back, his right leg in front of his left, and his tongue absentmindedly running over his three lip rings. He scanned the area, watching for signs of a shinobi approaching him, and hoping he wouldn't miss the boy he was supposed to meet...
