1 Haven't Been Here In a While (Nagare/Private/Training/No Kill) Thu Jul 11, 2013 10:40 pm
Bokuden
D-rank
“And now we wait,” Bokuden said allowed as he dropped his rucksack on the ground and leaned his back up against a nearby tree, “Him and his infatuation with early morning training sessions.” Bokuden rolled his eyes and proceeded to take a sip of coffee from his thermos before continuing, “Morning people…” His eyes shifted back and forth once as he performed a quick visual scan of the area around him. A smirk grew on his face as he stared out over the empty baseball fields before him, the rising sun peering out over the horizon providing just enough light to bathe the freshly cut grass in an orange glow. It was an interesting choice for a training ground for sure, the baseball fields. This was where Bokuden had first met Nagare and Horui, well before he was ever assigned into a squad with him, back when he was just a genin. “God, after what we pulled with Jishin here I couldn’t come play on these fields for months,” Bokuden thought to himself before casually taking another sip of his coffee.
Satomi strolled up right beside Bokuden slowly before throwing herself to the ground beneath the tree. Clearly she was not enthused by the idea of getting up to train at the crack of dawn either. “Why exactly are we here again?” Satomi grumbled as she closed her eyes while laying her head against the cool grass, “And why couldn’t it wait until after sunrise?” Satomi raised her long tail straight into the air before demonstratively slamming it down against the ground and letting out a displeasured grunt. She opened her eyes once again and shifted her gaze up to Bokuden, staring up at him from the corner of her eye. The look in her eye sent a clear message. She didn’t like the fact that Bokuden insisted on waking her up to tag along on this little trip which clearly didn’t require her presence. She could still have been sleeping and it was unlikely that she was going to let him forget about it for the rest of the day.
After Bokuden peered down to meet Satomi’s irritated gaze he brought his left hand up to his face and wiped his eyes, passing his fingers across his eyes and up the bridge of his nose. “She is going to get back at me for this eventually,” Bokuden thought to himself as he pondered the possibilities of the vengeance Satomi could seek against him for his transgression, “In retrospect it probably would have been wiser just to let her sleep.” Bokuden let out a slight chuckle before speaking aloud, “Oh well, guess it’s too late for that now.”
Satomi’s ears perked up upon hearing Bokuden’s voice. “You say something?” Satomi inquired suspiciously, once again returning her gaze to Bokuden.
“Oh no, nothing at all,” Bokuden said in a snarky tone, not making any attempt to actually hide his intent, “Don’t be too mad at me Satomi. If you stick around you might get to see something interesting. And if you don’t hit me I’ll take you to your favorite restaurant for lunch.” Bokuden smiled down at Satomi hoping to lighten up the mood a bit with his proposition only to see the unenthused look in her eye persist. “I guess not,” Bokuden mused to himself as he continued to grin, “This is going to come back and bite me in the end.” He shook the thought from his head as he turned his attention back to the task at hand. It was about time for Nagare and Horui to arrive. All that was left to do was wait.
