Richard meets Kyuushi

Kyuushi flew through the tree's with a large snake drapped around her shoulders. "Lady Hokage Come Back! You're not allowed to leave without an escort!" Kyuushi scowled and shouted her reply. "Just leave me alone it's only a walk dammit!" her tone lowered suddenly "well it was supposed to be anyway." Kyuushi flickered suddenly landing miles away from her pursuers.

Kyuushi was still catching her breath when Levi stood up and hissed loudly. "oh chill out we lost . . . them . . . " Kyuushi looked up and caught sight of a pair of strange looking people. "Oh well that explains that." Kyuushi stated standing up and putting her hand on levi's head to calm him. "Uh hi there." kyuushi said grinning sheepishly. "Lady Hokage!!!!" Kyuushi's face froze in horror and she dove behind richard and Kosa before saying, "if they ask you didn't see me!" and using transformation technique to turn herself into a large dog with a yellow collar.

Richard chuckled looking at the guard and smiled beneath the mask his eyes going paler as if death was appearing "Do you make a habit of stopping weary travelers on their way to konoha..if so then go ahead..but a little side note..I dont like being touched..and I will melt your face.." he grinned an insane amount of chakra charged into his left hand and he said slightly as it made the sound "fwoosh" his entire hand caught fire but it didnt burn him "Now please go continue your search elsewhere..its just me my son and dog on a trip to Konoha from Iwagakure.." his voice remained very calm which most people wouldnt expect he stood up to his full height of 6'5" and steped around the guard motioning for Kosa..and the dog person to do the same never removing his pale gold eyes gaze from the guard but not moving in a menacing way he waited just slightly down the road with a yawn he ploped down into a sitting position to wait for them both to manuvere away from the guard and the man had moved on his eyes taking in the whole scene with no interest

He was walking with Richard on the road for the first time. He was kinda like what just happened with that lady with that situtation.

This konoha you spoke of what is it like...............

He said happily cause he's neveer been to this place or out of the forest for that matter.The whisper of the wood faded but enough to still be heard he just wasnt use to listening to her in a different forest and location.

Kyuushi froze and frowned. "it's not all it's hyped up to be kid." Kyuushi's expression softened and she smiled at Kosa. "Anyway thanks for not ratting me out i just had to get out for a while. So what are your names?" Kyuushi's face flushed red when she caught sight of Richard. "Score! i bumped into the hottest guy ever!" she thought smiling stupidly.

"Oh where are my manners?!" Kyuushi jumped to her feet Levi reacting by hissing at her she shushed at him before continuing. "I'm Gendiame Hokage Kyuushi Shuuhei. Pleased to meetcha." she said smiling and still blushing.

Richard looked at Kyuushi.."I hope you dont expect me to say all that every time I address you..because I wont." he grinned and stood up with a slight bow "I'm Richard Chief Warlock of the Brothers of Darkness, Lord of the 13 hells, Master of Bones, Emperor of the Black, Lord of the Undead, Lord of the Dance" he stopped for a moment to innocently reach over and brush a lock of hair out of Kyuushi's face "But you can call me..Richard.." he laughed and sat back down yawning slightly before he turned to look at Kosa "Kid this is the almighty Hokage..the most powerful ninja in Konoha.." he yawned slightly and started to play with some flames before fixing Kyuushi with his eyes..there color becoming a nice dark gold again "and why is the mighty hokage running away from her own underlings."

I see...................Im Kosa.

He said tired from the time of walking from the rock village. They traveled quite the distance in a little time. The rock village is on the other side of the sand. He bowed slightly then leaned against and sat down fallening asleep til Richard said to get up.

Kyuushi laughed and said "No just call me Kyuushi. And..." Kyuushi's sentence was cut short by Richard reaching out and brushing her hair from her face. She blushed a brilliant red and began stuttering wildly. she tried to cover her face so he wouldn't see but she knew he had seen her blush. "I-I see R-Richard. Oh, it looks like he's tuckered out." kyuushi said motioning to Kosa.

Kyuushi noticed Levi slithering down to the ground and before she could react he was standing eye to eye with Richard. "Levi." she began to scold before the snake rested its head on Richard's Shoulder and began climbing up. "Strange he almost never likes strangers." Kyuushi thought about it for a second before she realized the snake had wound itself around both of them and pulled kyuushi to Richard. "Dammit Levi stop trying to hook me up!" she shouted at the snake who quickly wound itself around her shoulders again.

Richard looked at the snake then at Kyuushi with a questioning look. "Uh..why were you so red.." after looking the girl and the snake over he smiled "you like me dont you.." he almost laughed but kept it to a smile and lightly moved an arm sliding a pillow under Kosa's head without waking the boy. "So..the snake is Levi..and your Kyuushi.." he looked into her eyes with his gold desolate eyes "hmm..nice name" he could feel the wind stirring to the south and yawned adjusting slightly so that he kept Kosa from getting hit with the cold wind and waking up. "you know a place in Konoha we could stay a night or two in town?" he looked at Kyuushi and smiled again "by the way is there a problem with konoha..I remeber the Hokage used to be able to leave town without an armed escort."

Kyuushi began stammering again. "No, no i mean i like you but not like love like i mean, i don't hate you it's just..." Kyuushi sighed heavily "alright maybe just a little. and they just worry about me i suppose." Kyuushi stared at Richard's eyes and remembered something. "neat trick i can do it to though." she said closing her eyes and flipping them up to the fourth stage. when she opened them he entire eye was a mirror finished black and she looked very much like she had been possesed. she quickly deactivated it and smiled at Richard.

Richard's eyes flickered to his robes and the head of Mei slowly showed as the snakes tongue tasted the air Richard chuckled and moved closer to Kyuushi "So you like my snake..course if you dont I got a bigger one I could show you.." his eyes stayed the gold as he started to move a black flame suddenly appearing on his hand "Dark chakra melded with my own..Do you understand where I get the dark chakra mistress Hokage.." he turned to look at her as the flames extinguished "I may not look it..but I am stronger than you think" he suddenly pulled open the tiny bag at his waist and plucking a small object popped it in his mouth chewing for a moment before swallowing the mass that used to be the eye of a baby. "So know a place we can stay?" he asks again "Preferably somewhere where they dont ask a lot of questions"

Kyuushi thought for a moment of what Richard said and as the black flames appeared her own chakra poured over her body as her first tail appeared. "I'm not Hokage purely on luck you know." she said in a low and deadly tone. "But, if you need a place to stay i can put you up at my place." as she spoke her Chakra cloak dissipated leaving her smiling still. "As long as you promise not to break anything." she said cheerfully.

Kyuushi's happy conversational tone turned sour when three ANBU appeared from the trees. "Lady Hokage you shouldn't leave without your escort you know. the center one spoke behind a smiling dog mask. "Aw shut up ya'll knew i was going to the valley." Kyuushi said in a whining manner. "Besides it took you too long to find me. If you insist on complaining about me maybe i should have you replaced for a lack of tracking skills." Kyuushi smiled when the ANBU started stammering. "Chill i was kidding just take these two back to my house." her tone lowered once more, "No questions."

"Yes Kage-sama" all three ANBU replied at once as she flickered from the area. "Follow us." the center one said to Richard.
