New Faces... [Private]

It had been a few days since Hana had that strange dream. It had also been a few days since she had spoken to the giant flaming cat. Now that she had thought about it, Hana hadn't asked the creatures name nor did the creature ask for Hana's name. However, she hadn't heard the voice of the cat since that night and really didn't know much about these Bijuu. Sure, she had heard of them before considering the clan she descended from but she didn't know all that much about them. Perhaps if her mother had been home when the girl woke up She could tell her more. However, she wasnt and once again told the girl no information of her whereabouts. That meant Hana would go and do whatever she wanted.

So, the girl decided to go for a walk maybe she would run into Grey. Maybe She would make another friend. There was always that possibility too but Hana doubted it. The girl had only made one friend because the others liked to mess with her. However, it didn't hurt to check sometimes things changed. So, Hana would brush out her hair and throw it up like usual. Her hair would be in a pony tail with two strands shaping her face and her bangs covering her forehead. The girls attire consisted of a black T-shirt, a pair of blue jean shorts, her normal black shinobi sandals, and her headband. Her headband would be placed on the top of her head just behind the hairline her bangs made. The blue Uzumaki tattoo on her left arm would be peaking out of her sleeve and the seal on her left shoulder would be completely covered. It was a simple look but Hana liked it.

Soon after getting dressed, the girl would exit her home and begin to walk towards the town square. She didn't know what she would do but she would try to find something. So, as she made it to town square Hana would make her way somewhere towards the middle and look around. 'Lets see. What is there to do?' Hana would think to herself hoping something would catch her eye.

The night had been an unusually short one or so dray thought or maybe because he was not yet accustomed to the atmosphere of konohagakure no sato. The night came and quickly left. Unlike kumo where you dream of paradise ten different times before it was morning.
What had happened had happened. There was no changing it. Dray got up from the bed beside saburo as he was still asleep. Dray was tired of being in the hotel so he planned on going out today. Anbu work was even far more interesting than this crap was. He got into the shower and had his bath before drying up with a towel and dressing up. His clothes consisted of a black long sleeve vest that was reaching to his neck, his nose- mouth black mask already on. He put on his black shinobi trousers and sandals too. He tied black bands at the ends of the sleeves of his vest and trousers keeping them in place and looking active. Finally, he put on his long blue armless open jacket that had high collars and a buckle at it's back. Combing his hair to position, dray did not put on his kumogakure headband as he moved over to his bandaged samehada and placed it in the buckle of his jacket. The jacket was specially made for it.

Leaving the hotel, dray left a message for saburo saying he was headed for konoha's town square. Since kumo's town square was always filled with activity, he expected more from konoha as it was a busy village. Asking for directions and following them, dray got to where he believed was the town square. It was sure filled with people.
Now, all he wanted was something interesting to do or something fascinating to watch. As he walked by, most people looked at the large bandaged object on his back but all that was visible was samehada's cream-colored hilt with a skull at the end. Moving more into the crowd, dray felt samehada relay something to him. It was feeling an extraordinary chakra. A vast amount of it. It was unusual. Samehada had not encountered such chakra in years. From within it's bandage, dray could hear it flick it's tongue but making trouble here would not be polite so dray scanned the area using samehada's abilties.

A bit to his north- east, dray's eyes met that of another female..

Hana wouldn't be looking around too long when she sighed. If her mother wouldn't disappear like she did, then Hana might be training right now. That was something enjoyable she could do but she didn't like to do it alone. So, after taking another breath Hana would look up only for her eyes to catch a face she hadn't seen before. He looked sort of mysterious with half of his face being covered. He also carried an object wrapped in bandages on his back. It looked to have the hilt of a weapon but she hadn't seen anything like it before. That's when she noticed he was looking her way and turned away.

Hana's face would turn red as she looked the other way. 'Who is he? Why is he here? He doesn't have any village symbol from what I saw. Could he be a missing ninja?" Hana's thoughts started to roll through her head. It was obvious the girl was nervous but she didn't even know if he was looking at her. He could have been looking at anyone. She knew word hadn't gotten out about her situation so she didn't believe that to be a factor. 'Maybe It was someone else. There's no way. I mean nobody notices me other than,my hair of course.' That's when Hana would start to calm herself down, 'Yeah that's it. It was probably just my hair color or something.' The girl would fully reassure herself by this time.

Their eye clash was definetly an inconvenient one for the lady as she quickly looked away from dray. Was she shy or was she aware of why dray was looking at her? For someone so young to possess something so huge called for great concern yet every single person just kept walking past the lady. Nobody had the slightest sense of the connection between dray and this lady. Was she some sort of demon or do demons even exist.. Samehada urged dray on as he took a step forward and another and another towards the girl. He planned on finding out what she was or what was in her that is even if she opened up because he was least interested in struggles or fight this days. He was losing his anbu texture and he needed to get in line quick..

Walking over to the girl, her location was not very enclosed though little people now passed there as almost everyone had settled into various places in the toen square.. Quite a huge thing you got in there.. dray said to her, reffering to the huge chakra samehada sensed...

Hana would be about ready to turn and walk away when a voice was heard behind her. The girl would turn slowly to see the mysterious person was speaking to her. This is when Hana would freeze up. 'H-How did he..?' She couldn't even finish her sentence. The girls face would turn slightly red as she started at the mysterious man. ' Did you think nobody would notice? ' Hana would hear the voice inside her head as she tried to form thoughts. ' With a chakra like mine... people are bound to notice. ' Hana would blink as she continued to listen to the voice in her head. However, she didn't respond to the creature instead her words came pour in out to the ma in front of her.

" You're not going to hurt me are you? You aren't going to try and-" Hana would close her mouth as she looked the other way. She didn't want to give anything away but she also didn't want to be hurt or worse... die. The girl was only a genin and her mother wasn't around. She could only imagine what it would be like to come home and realize that you had lost everything important to you. Hana didn't know if she could allow that to happen. However, she didn't know what she'd do either. So, for the time being Hana would wait for a reply from the mystery before her.

The girl looked afraid. She could sense it in her but something deep within seemed to give her hope. She was not aware of when she started pouring out to dray but she quickly held her mouth. It was running and dray knew she was hiding something.. She asked if dray would hurt her but that was the weirdest question dray had heard in a long time. During anbu work, his targets did not even have the chance for words so she was lucky to say something.

Moving his thoughts back to what she was, dray looked around and nobody seemed to mind them.
Getting more curious as samehada's tongue flicks did not make dray comfortable, he gripped samehada's hit and removed it from his back. Feel this..Dray would say as he would stretch out samehada to the girl. Upon contact with it, dray would be stunned by the amount of chakra she possesed as the bandage on the tip of samehada's head would loosen to reveal a long tongue but dray would quickly withdraw him from the girl. Samehada knew what he ate. It was a small piece of chakra from a jinchuriki. Dray would continue to stare at the girl.
At that moment, the clouds would rumble as the sky would darken. The rains would pour down to drench both dray and the girl as other people would began running helter skelter..

Hana would look to the mystery as he removed the bandaged weapon of sorts from it's position. Hana would stare at it for a moment as he told her to touch ... whatever it was. Her hand sort of hesitated but she would soon touch the weapon with the palm of her hand. At this point, she would something slightly off and see something happen to the end of this... thing. The bandages looked to be loosening and what the girl saw was different than anything she had ever seen before. " Is.. Is that a.. tongue? " Hana would pull her hand away quickly after the weapon or thing was. Hana would rub the middle of her palm feeling something was slightly off. Just then the girl would hear a voice within her head. ' It has to be...' However, the words were not finished making the girl stare.

The girls eyes stayed stuck on the one in front of her as well as the thing he carried. Hana almost didn't notice the rain had started to fall as the people around them seemed to run for cover. The girl didn't know what to do but she only had one thing on her mind. " Wh-What is that? " Hana would ask. She needed to know more about it and what it was. She wanted answers.

The girl was obviously scared of samehada but dray was more than suprised as to how the girl had a tailed beast sealed inside of her.. Did they even exist, long long years ago, after the fourth shinobi war, the tailed beast were no where to be found so what exactly was hapening. Dray was confused. He snapped out of his thoughts as the girl asked what he was holding.. At that moment, dray smiled as he looked at samehada.. He looked around the town square and all had seem to evade due to the heavy rain.. Dray answered the girl as he saw the despiration on her face...Ask and Ye shall know!... Samehada had eaten little chakra from the girl but the little chakra was twice the chakra of an ordinary shinobi. Digesting the chakra, the bandage expanded as samehada began to grow in size..I will show you what only few have truly seen.. Tearing apart the bandage, the spikes on samehada protruded forth, elongating giving it a shark- like appearance. It was huge enough to cover the girl.. It flicked it's tongue from left to right playfully savouring the sweet taste of bijuu chakra...This is the samehada. The most ferocious of the seven ninja swords.
Now that you have seen and known what this is, which of the bijuu is sealed in you and how was it sealed..... It was just he and the girl..

Hana would notice the mysterious man was smiling at this thing of his and the way he looked around only seemed to make the girl more nervous. Her mind completely blocking out the rain. Hana's ears were sucking in every word the man would say, which would cause her curiosity only to grow more. However, the way the thing began to grow would cause the girl to take about two steps back. The bandages were ripped away by spikes and soon enough Hana could see the full appearance of the thing. When Hana was finally told what it was, Her eyes would widen. The girl had only heard stories of such a thing. Now, it was right in front of her but she knew very little about what it could do.

Hana would take a few deep breaths to keep herself calm as she looked at the weapon. Hana would then,shake,her head as she tried to form some thoughts. " I.. uhh.. it's the two tails. I don't know it just happened in a dream. It's the truth.. " Hana's eyes would then be stuck on the weapon.

The two tails huh..MATATABI..the fiery cat.... Dray knew well about this one. He took a liking to the two tails due to it's blue fiery cloak as blue was a color of dray. Dray could not imagine how she said it happened in a dream. Was she put under a genjutsu or what. Observing the girl properly, he saw a tatoo emblazoned on her arm. It was the uzumaki clan tatoo. The past few days of dray's stay in konoha, he had been studying some pretty unqiue things and the uzumaki clan was one of them. This was the clan of Naruto Uzumaki. The one who united the world. A once stupid and determined boy but in the end, he kept true to his words. Now, what dray had discovered was something that would change the world. He did not plan on telling anyone what he had found. He just felt the need to strengthen up because if all nine bijuus hadve been released into the world, then, another war was sure to arise. All he needed do was wait for it.. He would have loved to tell the girl more about what was in her as he saw that she was pretty clueless but that would be for another day..Be safe..with great power comes great responsiblities dray said as he turned to leave..

'Matatabi.' Hana would repeat this over and over in her head. So, that was the creatures name? Hana found it rather rude of herself not to ask of it's name and she found it quite upsetting that she had to learn it through some stranger. Hana noticed he was still looking her way but he wasn't saying a word. What was he thinking? Hana had no clue. She wondered if he knew more about this Matatabi. His words echoed in her head as he spoke the last bit before turning away.

" Wait! " Hana would say before she knew what she was doing. " Can I know your name? " The girl knew it was probably a weird question to ask considering what all had just happened but she wanted to know it just in case.

What dray had said probably took time to sink into the girl's head considering the time it took for her to muster courage to speak. Little had she seen and little had she known about what she could do. She was not yet aware of how she could manifest matatabi's cloak as almost all jinchuriki could neither did she know about the rampages her emotions would cause. The worst would be the hatred that others would feel towards her if they found out she had a beast in her but anyways, none of this frightened dray. With samehada, he was more than fine. The rain was getting to a halt with little droplets of water now falling from the sky and making splashes in the water puddles.
Taking another step to leave.. Dray heard the girl call out to him, stopping him in his tracks as she asked for his name... Dray looked to his left to see a wall that was dry due to the roof- like object over it preventing the wall from the rain. Stretching out his right hand towards the wall, he ejected ice from his palm and bolded the letters.. D R A Y ..on the wall using his ice affinity technique as he left without another word to say or hear.

EXIT

Hana blinked as the mystery stopped. She didn't know what he would do. Maybe, he would give his name. Maybe, he would just keep going. Maybe. He would do worse for unknown reasons. However, he just looked to his left and seemed to be drawing or writing something. Soon after, Hana watched is every step until he was gone. Her head turned to the wall to see the letters he had written on it. They were written in what looked like ice. " Dray. " She repeated this to herself very softly. The young Uzumaki didn't know ho long she stood in that spot before she started to walk home.

By the time she reached her home, Hana's clothes were damp and her hair had been taken from it's ponytail. The girl would enter her home and sit in the middle of the floor. Her mind raced from all the thoughts inside her head. ' Where did he come from? Did I make a mistake? Is he going to tell people about me? What's going to happen? What about that weapon? ' They continued on for a while before Hana's mother walked through the door. She stared at the child her eyes widened a little as she spoke, " Hana, are you alright? " Her voice had a small bit of panic in it but Hana said nothing...
