Outside the village.

"Nope, this is my home and I gotta take care of my clan. I'm the leader of it sense my father passed, I was gone for a while to hone my skills and he died during my absence. So now I gotta take care of my younger brother and show him the ropes... I think he's gonna be better than I am though, his determination is off the charts and he has a very healthy work ethic. Add to that the fact that he can...well, this isn't bout him hehe, but no, I wouldn't switch villages, too much to walk away from and now...I have some things that I'm finally getting the hang of"he said while gazing around the atmosphere. The two had been talking for a while now and the sun had began setting on the day. "Its funny, Its dawn now"Naizu said with a smile as he tuned to looking at the lady. "Irony huh?"

She giggled. "Yeah a bit. Well it looks like you got a lot on your shoulders. Well I should problally get going have to train some more you know." She got up and stretched. "If I'm going to beat you gotta work hard you know."

Naizu appeared behind her with his hands on her shoulders rubbing them gently,"Yeah, but right now you have a long ways to go little lady. You have gotten stronger though, I can sense it in your chakra and you are actually trying to think ahead as opposed to just up and going. If you weren't in akatsuki I'd certainly help you out with everything it looks like you need help with. But I suppose that your leader...however small and jealous and angry she may be" he said with a laugh before continuing,"will show you some things to help you out. I'm curious as to why you are actually out right now, usually I'd probably sense her snooping around if one of her companions is out and about."

She smiled. "Yeah I know I have some work to do. But..yeah." She turned around and flipped his hair. "I'm out here because I want to. I like exploring and I've never been here before.SO your really going to teach me?" She asked getting very excited.

"Uh..no" he said hopping above to the next branch about 15 feet up. "I can't do that Ms.Dawn for that would be empowering the enemy and we cant have that around here, I have a rep to up hold"he said in friendly but serious voice walking towards the base of the tree to lay back on. He thought to himself,"hmm, I wonder about this one, I know she has some sort of agenda. I think I might see what it is". "Besides, Revy might wanna know what you've been doing around me, she knows my style and she knows my sorta strategy...kinda..but you get the point"he said.

Naizu hopped back down to the branch below, walked over to Dawnpaw, grabbed her hand and looked her in the eyes,"Lets go for a little walk before you leave ok? It'll be fun and the weather is nice, plus the breeze feels really good right now, not to mention that nobody is out here at the moment so we should be fine. And if you don't feel ok walking in what we have on, you could always use that jutsu and make us look different, that way nobody will know its us even if were seen"he said smiling at her.

"Ummm I guess we could go on a walk...But only for a little bit." She shook his handle loose and did some handsigns. She turned into a girl with long blue hair and narrow green eyes, Her robe was gone and her regular clothes showed.. She looked at him and he had spiky orange hair and light blue eyes. "You look cute."

"Um...wow, I look..you're lucky I like you...I mean as a friend..not that I wouldn't wanna be more cus I'd love to take you and...not like thats all I think of because...(sighs) I'm gonna be quiet now" he said after the long stumble of words. He leaped down to the ground and awaited her to follow. and looked up then looked straight ahead immediately as he could see her because she was directly above him.Naizu shook his head and regained his composure, "Ready to go Dee" he said as he didn't want to say her name loudly so he had to think of an alias.

She laughed at him trying to explain himself. "Your funny." She jumped down and followed him. "Its so cute when guys stutter." She grabbed his hand and looked at him giving him a sweet smile. "And you want to be more? Explain please." She asked quietly.

"Well, I guess, I'm saying I'd be hitting on you if you weren't in with revys crew, and I'd have you, trust me..I would have you." he said with a slight laugh. "You might not know this but, when I first came back, I had to remember everything I used to do to get women and I was quite shy. Add to that the fact that I didn't know a lot of people that were around...it was some sort of experience for me, though I was more than up to the challenge. I just saw no reason to hop into a relationship though so I've been playing it low key for a while so I suppose, I may be a little rusty with the right words to say to you" he said. "I just realize that I never asked if you were with someone" he said. "are you?

"No I'm free and happily so I believe." She patted his head softly. "But you'll definitely get a girl if you keep up that act." She replied giggling. "And what makes you so sure you would have me boy?" She walked in front of him and began walking backwards so she was facing him.

"Because I know my abilities girl, I'm like..." Naizu stopped walking and watched as dawn walked into a tree. "Um..you should probably watch that tree behind you cus you might walk into it" he said letting out a slight laugh under his breath. Naizu then stepped close up on her and rubbed her head,"ya know, these things don't hit back, I think your noggin owes this tree an apology, it was minding its own buisness and here comes your head thinking its all bad and smacks it for no reason" he said still rubbing her head and now laughing while talking. "My dad used to always play with me like that if I fell...thats where I get my sense of humor" he said now just smiling and looking at her.

She laughed and rubbed the back of her head. "Your right I'm sorry mister tree." She bowed to it slightly. "Its a good thing I have a hard head hun? A tv once feel on my head and it cracked. When they took me to the hospital they said i was fine not a scratch werid right?" She turned around deciding to walk forward this time.

Naizu stood there for a moment as Dawn started walking, then lied up against the tree looking at the girls figure while thinking of his next move. "OOOOKKKAAAYYYYY, maybe she doesn't have an agenda and just digs me heh, I can't blame her, I mean I am a sexy beast." he said in his head. He let her walk and watched to see just how far she'd go before she realized he wasn't behind her as he stood with one foot on the tree and the other on the ground, both arms crossed and his head against the tree. "How far will she go...how far indeed" he said smiling and speaking under his breath.

She continued walking. "Well are you going to answer my question or not? Oh I never even got your name..." She began to feel a little awkward from the silence. "Will you say something please!"

Naizu mystified to a tree, one behind dawn and continued to watch her walking. "Theres no way she can be this non observant, absoulutely no way what so ever. I know she's gonna turn around with in the next ten seconds...I think" Naizu said to himself. He then took out a blank scroll and began to write something on it while looking up every couple seconds to see where Dawn was. "I think, that this...will definitely work out...as long as I keep a handle on the situation." he said while writing.


Name: Mitify
Rank:B
Element:Steam
Description: Naizu can turn his body to mist at will. This can only be used 10 times per battle.

"This is not funny!" She whipped around and stared in shock when she didn't see him. "Where did...he go?" She said to herself. "Mister? Where are you?" She looked around. "Am I lost?"

Naizu almost fell on the floor laughing but found a way to keep his composure as he walked over to dawn on her blind side and and spoke to her,"You should really pay attention to your surroundings ya know, people can easily sneak up on you like me." he said with a smile. He slipped the scroll into dawns pocket without her noticing and walked around to the front of her with his arms behind his back still smiling. "Did you even notice I wasn't with you at any point of time little lady" he asked her. "And my name is Naizu, I apologize if I did not formally introduce myself the first time."

She jumped when he snuck up on her. "Not cool man! And I ...ugh..."She glared at him a bit. "Naizu hun.." She turned around so he couldn't see her face which was turning red from embarrassment."You should sneak up on people like that you could get hurt."

Naizu walked up to her and grabbed he gently from behind and apologized to her,"Im sorry, I just wanted to see how far you'd get without noticing I was gone.....Look.."Naizu pointed at the sunset," thats one of the most beautiful things that one can see. If you cant see one of these in a life time then you haven't lived yet...wouldn't you agree?" he said as he wrapped his arms around her and staired at the setting sun and took in the sight then looking down at dawn. He could see her cheeks were red and were becoming more so by the moment, but Naizu didn't say a word, he just smiled.

"Yeah it is beautiful hun?" She felt comfortable with him close to her and pushed closer to him, hoping that he wouldn't notice but knew that he would sooner or later. "I love sunsets, and sunrises but mostly sunsets."

Naizu grabbed a firm grip around dawn then mystified with her to the top branch of the nearest tree for them to get a better view of the site. He then said in a low tone,"This is amazing isn't it? watching one of the most beautiful things the earth does?" The stars began to show themselves in bunches and soon the sun was gone but the stars were out, the sky shifted from on scene of art to another. Naizu held his head against hers and rubbed against it lightly.

She blushed deeply. "Yes it is beautiful . This is an amazing veiw." She moved closer to him and sighed happily. "Can it get better?" She thought to herself. She looked at the stars in amazement. "So pretty."

Naizu pulled dawn with him to the base of the tree and took off his trench coat and folded it then sat down. He placed it between his legs so that when Dawn sat down, she'd be comfortable, holding her hand as she did so, being as gentlemanly as possible for her. Once more he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her lightly on the forehead and continued to watch the sky. He felt comfortable with this girl for some reason and seemed to forget she was akatsuki for the time being, and only focused on the time at hand. He smiled and lied his head on the tree looking up thinking amongst himself in happiness,"Wow, its been a while since I have felt this way, I like it a lot."
