==Title: Hozuki and Inuzuka Cat Chase 2/14/15==
UnaruInuzuka: -It was early morning the sun having just rose and hidden itself once again into the dark clouds that was a constant in Amegakure. Unaru had found himself sitting on one of the roof tops above the crowds of people milling about in the marketplace. The rain was only a small sprinkle at this time a day and everyone had the habit of wanting to get their shopping done before noon. He in particular had already shopped yesterday for any foods he needed for his fridge in his apartment for him and his two ninken. He glanced over to his side he watched as the male white with rust colored patches bounded around having been given a ball Fumiko had given them a while back. A slightly smaller pup no larger than a large house cat was bounding after the male for once. Her black with chocolate patched fur finally fluffy and fairly dry for once because of the weather not being too bad at this moment. Unarus silver shards watched with a silence that spoke of his patience he had with his two companions. They were three years old and acted like five year old children… at least that’s what he suspected. His features with those two crimson fang tattoos on his cheeks was stoic, no expression on his face. He watched as the green eyed male up leapt to the side skidding along the tiles while his light blue female went to snag that fluffy tail in her jaws in their play. Unaru rose his hand and scratched under the leather spiked choker that in front proudly displayed the fact he was a shinobi but also one that belonged to Amegakure with those four vertical marks upon it. He shifted pulling black fingerless gloves into place along with checking the blue belts on his purple bracers to make sure they are in place. The smallest bit of burn scarring showing on the tops of his fingertips on his left hand long healed and mostly hidden behind glove and bracer. He brushed a hand down over the black short sleeved hoodie he had one along with settling the slightly lighter sleeveless jacket as well that within its pockets held four kunai one a custom made weapon he had been gifted. He brushed a hand over two purple scrolls in a holder on his left thigh remembering the weapons held within one of them. Four more kunai, two flash bombs and four paper bombs. He also considered a purple pouch on his right thigh where nine shuriken and two senbon were settled. Beyond the pair of black pants and black ninja sandals he had a hip pouch as well holding the rest of his tools, wire strings, two smoke bombs, two paper bombs and last a rebreather custom made to work with his particular needs. He knew just wandering around the village he didn’t need these items much, but he was too paranoid of an individual not to take precaution and kept them on hand. He hadn’t lived here long, a bit over a year so far, but still his instincts were always on high alert, even with the closest people he had at hand. Reaching up and rubbing his hand into that mop of burgundy hair he brushed hands against the black bandana’s knot as his eyes wandered in thought. Just as he was about to get up and leave he caught the scent of someone appear behind him and he turned his head pupils having dilated his instincts to attack high for a split moment before he realized it was a chuunin and was holding out a scroll to him. He couldn’t help the annoyance he felt inside but didn’t show it as he reached out and took the mission scroll. Breaking the seal and flipping it open he draped the paper over his right arm holding the scroll in his left as he read over the information. For probably the first time he actually gave out a groan of annoyance… not that cat again… you would think her having kittens she would stick to home more… He took note that he was to meet up with someone else at the north end of the market where the cat was last seen at and work with this other genin to find her. Rolling up the scroll he stuffed it into his hip pouch and got up taking off swiftly without much sound over the roof tops the sound of his feet barely a whisper his hounds taking off after him having seen him leave never willing to be left behind. It didn’t take long, a few minutes tops before he was crouched and looking around head cantering just slightly in the process as he was scanning over the place to catch sight of anyone milling around waiting for him knowing he will easily spot them, his observation skills at the highest marks-
trillfolk: Ichi Hozuki is not so excited from the list of what he calls “pointless missions” he had to choose from, but settled for The Cat Rescue mission because of his strong obsession with cats. Ichi was told to go home and be ready to go to north end of the market within an hour. Ichi normally strolled around Amegakure with regular street clothing. This included tan colored construction boots, black jeans and a shirt with normally some bizarre painting on it. Ichi made his way home within ten minutes of leaving the Kages office. Once home, naturally, Ichi grabbed his huge pot of water and chugged it down within seconds. Ichi drinks water in order to stay hydrated even when faced with highly intense flames such as a burning building, but for now he is just refilling his body for the upcoming mission. Ichi decided he would be packing light for this specific mission since it only involved a non-ninja class pet, or just as he calls it a “citizen”. Ichi quickly strips out of all his clothing, then tosses on his dull blue sweat jacket over his head. His white hair being messed up and tossed around as the static electricity flowed from his shirt onto his head and body. Ichi never really acknowledge this because he knew he would fix it once he was ready to go. Next he tossed on his black leather pants which are normally made for combat with sharp objects. These pants did not make him invincible, but just less likely to have his skin pierced by sharp objects like glass, rocks, or just debris from fights. Ichi then through on his running shoes which go along with the same material his pants is made out of, but just coated with a layer of slip resistant rubber grips at the bottom for rainy days, or bloody. Next Ichi lifted up his mattress where he keeps most of his ninja tools. Sliding out a kunai knife, and one out of the five of his large scrolls, he slams his mattress down back to the floor. Itch places his kunai on the dresser as he attaches the scroll to his lower back using a belt as a strap for the scroll. Next Ichi reached into his dresser fumbling through some neatly tucked away clothing to find his kunai pouch. He clips the kunai pouch tightly onto the side of his pocket, then grabs the kunai from his dresser placing the kunai directly inside. Ichi was ready to grab his water bottles and fill them up in the kitchen when he walked by the mirror and noticed his hair was a jumbo mess.- “Damn”. -Ichi being a neat freak grabbed a comb, and combed his hair down and towards the side. Next he wiped his thumb across his naturally groomed eyebrows just for the feeling of the sleekly hair against his soft skin. Placing the comb on the dresser, he grabs his water bottles from the corner, and runs down stairs filling up the bottles with cold tap water. Once both the bottles were filled, Ichi clipped them onto his side using the built in clips on the water bottles. Ichi walked towards the front door where he stopped by his small indoor flower shop. Picking up the scissors from the flower pot supply, he quickly snips some cat nip into his hand, then seals it inside of a small plastic bag. Ichi slipped the plastic bag inside of his back pocket as he places down the scissors and opens the front door – “Goodbye mom, Goodbye dad”. –Ichi knows his father is dead, and his mother is in jail but he still likes to say goodbye to them as if they would respond. He walks out of the door and towards the north end of the market. Once he arrived, Ichi noticed a man with two adorable puppies by his side snooping out the area. -“This has to be him”.– Ichi thought to himself forcing a friendly smile on his face as he approached his fellow companion to join him on his first ranked mission. Ichi actually started to embrace the fact that he is able to do such missions like this, and is not stuck inside all day like a normal citizen. As he approached his partner he let out an awkward wave with his eyes closed halfway, announcing his name with a laugh as his hair bounced in front of him.-
UnaruInuzuka: -He looked on the area below him the male pup settled to lean upon his leg the female pawing at Unaru’s leg before a small “Who?” Was spoken from the blue eyed pup to her leader. He glanced down hearing the soft sound those silver eyes taking in the pup a moment before those slits rose up.- “Don’t know, some other genin I take it, got a mission to deal with that cat again, really wish she would keep her inside, she already got pregnant once already…” –His words had been soft and had been before the other had even arrived, but it hadn’t taken long, a minute or two before this 13 year old had finally taken notice the one walking towards his roof top perch. He dropped down to the ground and looked at the other a head cantering thoughtfully before finally speaking up his voice had no emotions behind it, a blank slate.- “I take it your here for the cat mission?” –He glanced to his pups before looking out at the busy market once again; he remembered the description of the cat that was on the mission scroll, a green collar with a matching bow tied to it. He sighed, there was so many strays that roamed over this market at times, and that sometimes didn’t just include animals. He already from here took note of a dog dash off after a black cat that had a fish in its mouth before being swiped at before getting away. He gave a mental sigh turning to face the new genin his nose twitching as if to catch a scent of them before speaking up again realizing that he was the only shinobi in the area that had actually looked to gain his attention so had to be him.- “Names Unaru.” He didn’t bother introducing his ninken, if it was needed then he would have then speak them themselves, they were old enough and well versed in it to do it by themselves, he had been babying them, they were ready to start talking for themselves.-
trillfolk: -Ichi frowned at the name of the mission, but wiped it away quickly- "Yes, My name is Ichi but you can call me kyu-kyu -the over friendly Ichi blabbed all about his buisness as in where he came from, what happened to his family. He couldnt help it, espically since it has been a long time since he has spoken to anyone his age. Ichi is just really siked to finally be doing something big at such a young age again.- "But she is in jail. Anyways where do you think that pussy ran off to?" -Ichi stops talking for a split second until he noticed the two "adorable pups" on the ground near Unaru- "Awww they're so cute" -Ichi dives at one of the pups to pet, and stroke its mame. Getting on his knees he reaches out to scratch behind the pups ear-
UnaruInuzuka: -He stood there a moment hearing the others name and also the askance of using another name… clearly a no on his part, he gave no indications of being very interested in his story but he didn’t stop the other either on talking. It wasn’t that he wasn’t listening or willing to listen its just that he wasn’t much of a talker about his own life so he always felt odd when someone was so open and willing to just speak of everything and all about themselves. It showed in his opinion that this other didn’t let much sink in or that he might have not gotten to really be fully on his own like he had…. Or he just hid it all behind the bubblyness he had. He gave a slow breath out opening his mouth to answer about the cat before Ichi suddenly spoke up about his partners… He was probably luck he had went to pet Buruu his female hound, she was probably the only one that would have let herself be touched willingly.- [Buruu]: -Looking at the other genin her ears flattened slightly cocking her head to the side at the sudden change of interest from the preteen to them. She had lept back the moment he had dove to get to her but looked out at the hand that was reaching out to touch her. She was one to enjoy cuddles and attention from others and it being someone young but also that they seemed to be part of the group they needed to be in she reached out to sniff with her black nose light blue eyes taking in the other before she let him scratch her behind a ear. After a moment she finally cleared her throat.- “Hello.. ‘m Buruu” –Her tail waging, her voice was very young sounding and clear enough to be understood by Ichi himself.- [Unaru]: -He clears his throat himself before speaking up.- “Last time she had gotten lost she had been hiding out in one of the alleys around here till she got treed… Anryoku, Buruu you check from the other end and work your way back here, you find her, she will have a bow on her collar, don’t get too close, just enough to see and come back to us and show us.” –Buruu gives the hand that scratched her ear a small lick before taking off with her brother to go and so as they were asked. Unaru on the other hand glanced around before speaking up again.- “Might be easier to split up each of us taking a side of the market working south…” –He didn’t like this mission, but it was cash and it wasn’t really a option when handed over it.-
trillfolk: -Ichi just being licked by the dog brings his hand to his mouth where he places his hand and devours the fluids which the dog left behind.- Mmm I LOVE ANIMALS -He glances over at Unra- oh im so selfish would you like to have some? -Ichi brings his hand towards his nose and face as he begins to feel a shift in the rain.- The cats near by so if you want some you better hurry. oh and I have to use the bathroom also. If your wondering how I know it is nothing special really. infact I can be dead wrong. It is just that my mother used to tell me a shift in the atmosphere is the gods trying to tell us something. and If i am wrong does that make the gods wrong? -Ichi looks at Unra with temptation to catch that feline in his eyes.- I brought some catnip to make this trip easier. dont worry it is fresh from my house. the best herbs in Amegakure.- He stil has his one hand up for Unra to lick if he wanted to taste some of the flavored water from his dog.- c'mon lets go. -holding his hand out Ichi would dash to the nearest building rooftop.-
UnaruInuzuka: -He watched the kid lick his hand after Buruu had and blinked the most his expression had shown so far. He only glances at him a moment a brow just slightly most wouldn’t see it before giving a small huff thru his nose turning away from the other clearly uninterested in the idea of such action. His form took to turn from the other in the back of his mind laughing quite rudely at Unaru for being stuck in this situation. He mentally shut out the sound, damn it he didn’t need to deal with that for now… he only partly paid attention to the one next to him. Finally the other took off into one direction to look for the cat. He heard in a side fact about catnip but had found himself walk off to the other direction towards a few of the alleyways letting his form slip into the darkness his nose twitching as his silver eyes looked back behind boxes and trash cans. He glanced around making sure no windows to the places weren’t open incase the cat had slipped into those buildings and soon made his way along the stands letting his eyes trail under them. He noticed a few different animals taking residence in some of those places but the cat they were looking for he hadn’t found yet. A good hour of hunting and searching had him inwardly grumbling, he did Not want to end up hunting all over the village for this cat… That was when he heard fast paced dashing of a dogs paws right towards him. He glanced down at a panting Anryoku tail wagging like a motor boat as he heard the words “found it”  be barked out quickly. He gave a nod to the ninken.- “Show me.” With that said the pup took off. He turned and glanced around before finally giving a sharp whistle to grab the other kids attention waved him over if he came to look towards him before without being sure he saw took off after his ninken, the sooner they get the cat the sooner he can have time to himself again.-
trillfolk: trillfolk: -What felt like days to Ichi actually turned out to be an hour since he last left Unaru.- Guhh where the hell is this pussycat -He murmurs to himself while stolling allong down the street splashing through small puddles of rain. Ichi walks past an allyway as he notice a fast dark shadow scurry across the ally and knock over a few trashcans.- "I got you now" -Ichi thinks to himself as he creeps down the ally reaching into his back pocket to pull out his baggie of catnip. Ichi pulls out the small baggie and dumps the catnip on his palm rubbing it all over his hands and arms as he approaches the right side of the ally where he believes he last saw the shadow. *sploosh,splat* his foot splashes into a deep puddle startling whatever was behind the cans on the side of the ally. getting closer and closer Ichi hears a sharp hiss as he sees a bushy black, gray, and white tail- "What the fu-" -Just as he was about to speak the racoon jumps out at him hissing and aiming for his face. Ichi reaches to his right side where his kunai pouch is locate and pulls out his kunai bringing it infront of him aiming the flatside at the racoons paws to deflect as he jumps back.- "phhweee" -He hears Unruas call whistle after landing at the end of the ally. Ichi glanced at his bag of catnip which the racoon was now scavengering through with its gritty paws.- "Tsk Natures theif" -Ichi thought to himself as he places his kunai back into his pouch and dashes towards the echo of the whistle.-
UnaruInuzuka: -Unaru would have been seen by the other easily trailing one of his pups thru the market place. As he was getting closer to where his pup was leading he suddenly caught the scent of the cat they were looking for. He turned following the pup and gave a small sound in his throat, his pup leaping back and out of the alley he was going to turn into hopping up to the roof top. Unaru on the other hand moved into the alleyway slowly his head cocking to the side walking slowly down the darkened alley. Suddenly out of the blue the cat with the green ribbon on his collar made a growling hiss sound, he paused. He really hated cats… the thought ran into his head as he suddenly had the cat dashing out towards him. He went to dive to snag the cat as it went to dash by but he only found himself land upon his hands in the action feeling the small rocks dig into his skin as he saw the cat take off out of the alleyway and down the road in the direction Ichi was at. He brushed his hands off from the pebbles and dashed out of the alleyway to try and catch up.-
trillfolk: -Ichi still had the scent of catnip on his hand as he ran towards the sound of the whistle and saw Unrua following his pup. Ichi witnessed Unruas pup jump onto a roof by an allyway as Unrua himself ran down the ally- Uhn uh nope not happening not again -Ichi is still nervous about dark allies because of what the racoon did to him. Stopping in his tracks he reaches down onto his right hand side again clutching his kunai pouch tightly just incase something were to jump out.- "Yeah Unrua you go ahead on in I will cover from back here!" -Ichi shouts backing up slowly. Ichi believed Unrua had everything under control since he seemed like the very secure type. Ichi assumed Unura could not let a simple cat slip past him so easy. Just then Ichi hears a sharp hiss as he see's Unura diving at the cat, and the cat slipping under him.- Oh you have got to be joking -Ichi says with his eyes closed and a smile on his face as the cat charges at him with its claws out. It was then Ichi remembered he had rubbed catnip on his skin and this must be the reason for the cat dashing out towards him like this. Knowing that the cat will not try to avoid him, Ichi pulls down the sleeves to his shirt over his hands, and smacks his hands down towards the floor where the cat is dashing. The cat would run straight into Ichis arms scratching and bitting and rubbing its body all over him as Ichi lets out demonic howls and screams. Ichi Pin the cat down to the ground.- Unura get your sloppy as- The cat bites down hard on Ichi's arm as Ichi lifts both his arm and the cat in the air swinging it for the cat to let go- AHHHHHH!!!
UnaruInuzuka: -He had found himself moving out of the alleyway and soon came into the sights of Ichi being attacked by the cat. The light twitch of his nose clearly telling him what transpired… why the other would have chose to rub the stuff on instead of just offering it to the cat he didn’t know. Well now they had a high cat to deal with that wouldn’t easily let go of the pre-teen. He walked over as he was swinging his arm around trying to remove the cat almost getting smacked in the process only his reflexes keeping him from even being touched.- “Hold still.” –With that being said he had snagged the other boys arm above the elbow and snagged the cat by the back of its neck making the cat literally stop its attacking but clearly still clung tightly on him. With his other hand he worked out those claws and soon those teeth from the kids arm, he could smell the blood from the scratches and bites before snagging those back legs as well to keep it from twisting around and scratching him up, clearly this cat hates people beyond Tetsu who was able to handle her quite easily. He shook his head and sighed before speaking up- “Lets get this cat home, really don’t want more trouble with it, and what possessed you to rub it on you?” –All his words seemed annoyed or bored even if his voice didn’t seem to show any emotion within it.-
trillfolk: -Ichi being aware of his foolish plan of catnip, and also embarassed replied to Unarus question in a low jealous murmur- "I thought it would work." -His blood dripping out, and mixing with the rain, and puddles on the floor, Ichi reaches to his left side and grabs a water bottle. Opening the top Ichi sucks some of the tap water down his throat. Ichi takes five gulps before taking the bottle from his mouth and spraying the water over his animal wounds.- Do you think they would heal? -Ichi says following behind Unraul as he now moved to where the cat owner is.- I mean, I know it will, but I really hate scars, I never have gotten any scars and I do not want to start because they do not go right with my skin, You kow -Ichi rambales aimlessly- it is new skin growning with old skin. wouldnt want to peel all of my skin off and start again with growing my skin. -Ich takes another sip of his water bottle following behind Unrua- Would you like a sip man?
UnaruInuzuka: -All that came from him was the sake of his head to the comment as he glanced to the side a moment as the other male was walking along rambling about skin and all. He kept walking at times having to shift his hold to make sure not to loose his grip on the wet cat as they walked. He held the cat a bit more secure a moment as he let out a few sharp whistles and continued to walk along the streets. It didn’t take long for the reason to be known, the sound of scampering paws announced his two pups following after them. He continued walking and shook his head in the negative once again when offered a drink. He didn’t take food or drink from people, two paranoid for such a thing, especially someone he didn’t really know… and from earlier who knew what he had in those bottles… No not happening. He released the cats hind paws a moment pausing in his walk. He reached to one scroll and unrolled it on a bench near by before slamming his hand down onto it adding a bit of chakra. A puff of smoke formed and a small blanket was on top of it. He soon wrapped the cat up in the blanket and held it securely around its body instead before snagging his scroll once again and putting it away continuing on their way. They walked along and soon came to a gate to a home his silver shards glancing over the place. Hopping over the low gate he walked up to the door and knocked upon it waiting for it to be answered. It wasn’t long before a woman came to the door and with one look at the cat was showing great happiness at having her cat back once again profusely apologizing about them needing to find her once again and that she was so thankful for the help. He simply nodded handed over the cat and let the woman sign the scroll for the mission for him.-
trillfolk: -Following up behind Unaru, after Ichi takes his last sip of water he crosses his arms to hide the cats scratch and bite marks. It isnt because he was shy of them, but just because he did not want the old lady to worry about all of the troubles he went through to find and rescue her cat.- You know your cat is very adventourus ma'm. You probably should get a leash for him and take him out for walks more often. He is an outdoor cat and constantly needs to wonder -He says leaning on the side of her door as he watchesw her sign the scroll. Ichi looks down at the cat who looks directly back at him with its eye pupil as thin as it's nails.- "ggrreeeoow?" -Ichi ask the cat as the cat responds with a few purrs, and walks over to Ichi.- "REOW" -Ichi lets out a few cat calls as he gets on his knees and rubs his face on the cats nose and the cats face. The cat simply puts a paw up on Ichis head, and lick Ichi's wounds before turning around and walking back inside. Ichi would look over to Unaru.- see cats are not so bad after all -he would say standing up-.
UnaruInuzuka: -He gives a small huff watching the cat move back into the house before moving off from the house, he only heard the owner give her comments of being more careful and that this wont happen again giving her thanks again before slipping back inside. He kind of doubted she will do as she was asked, experience told him it would happen. His eyes shifted back over his shoulder as he moved out of the gate speaking up.- “Lets turn this in and get done with this I have things I need to get done…” –He knew he was kind of making excuses but at this moment this particular teen was wanting to just get this done and over with, he never will find himself liking cats much, tolerate them but liking them was not a interested situation on his account. He shifted his hands into his sleeveless jackets pockets and walked along the streets heading towards the mission office that was situated in the kage tower... He kind of missed going after a mission up to the top floors to see if his boyfriend was busy… him being on that trip has really made him ache to see him once again. As he walked into the building he took note of a few people glance at him, probably rumors have been starting to fly again… he ignored the glances as he went and handed over the scroll to the male shinobi behind the desk.-
trillfolk: -Ichi followed right behind him after getting up from the cats spell. Now Ichi is no therapist, but he can feel bad vibes coming off of people like it was breathing. This is no special skill, but just something that runs in his family. Ichi can read a persons body language, or aurora and tel what is wrong with them at the specific moment. This time it was his companion Unaru. He felt as though Unrau was depressed or just has an interesting past. Either way he was going to find out, but for now he just waited and walked behind Unaru slowly. This was until he picked up a feeling of secrets as he entered the kage tower. Looking at each person he watched as their lips stopped moving, and their heads quickly snapped towards Unaru, and away from him. Almost as if they know something about him. This deeply troubled Ichi as he wondered what his companion could be suffering from. Ichi wanted to ask so badly but thought it would be more polite to close up his mouth and wait for his companion to tell him when he was ready.- "Hey thanks for saving me from spawn of satan" -Ichi says as he lifts his hand up and goes to swing it down on his companions back-
UnaruInuzuka: -He had been about to glance over his shoulder and make a comment about helping out about to shrug his shoulder and dismiss it, however he was the hand coming to smack him on the back. Even if it was meant to be friendly his hand quickly lashed out and snagged at the wrist, if it happens to be caught it would easily be gripped tightly as his feral slit orbs seemed to contract a bit if he doesn’t it would have been brushed to the side avoided from touching him. He looked at the male a moment especially the hand as if it held a weapon. His eyes twitched slightly as if working out his own thoughts in rapid seconds. He didn’t like being touched unless he permitted such a thing of said person so there was a tenseness in him on the. After a moment he stepped away from the other letting his hand relax and drop to his side as he spoke.- “It was a mission. If you’re worried about scarring just use the ointment in every emergency kit holds, it will heal it. Take care” –He didn’t wait any longer, mission was done, handed in and finished, he wasn’t social and it showed, the people around had only given a small glance to his outburst before going back to their work as if these kinds of things were normal things, not just for Unaru but for other high strung shinobi. Unaru himself was unstable and had a habit of having a mentality of a shinobi years older than he really was… The mentality of a paranoid killer. He scooped up his two pups with one arm and soon slammed his hands together into the ram sign. With his speed along with the jutsu Body Flicker he blurred out of the place heading off into the city village on his own leaving the other.-
trillfolk: -Ichi noted how Unaru reacted to a simple friendly pat on the back. As Ichi hand was brushed away, he simply just brought it back down to his side and stared at the strange nervous reck with a confused glare in his eyes. His companion swiftly leaves the run in a blurr of Ichi's eye as he turns around and looks at the man behind the desk- "What was that all about?" -He ask the man. The man just gives him a look as if he does not want to be bothered with. Ichi simply turns back around and makes his way towards the exit taking his kunai from its pouch on his right thigh, and twirling it as he exits the building.- "Maybe he is bullied or something" -Ichi thought to himself as he continues to twirl his kunai around. on his way out of the tower Ichi notices a medical sign and remembers what Unaru told him about scars. Placing his kunai back in his pouch Ichi walks over to the medical clinic, and shows the nurse his wounds. The nurse uses warm water and soap to wash the wounds, then places ointment on them. She was going to discharge Ichi, but he insisted something more be done about his wounds. The nurse being fed up used her medical ninja skills, and healed up Ichi's wounds a little bit to speed up the recovery.-
==End result:==
Cat found and returned to owner
