For those in the other Seishin Monastery thread, please post here, and we'll say its a day after the events of that other thread. Morning had come, and groggily the old man had awoken. His white hair, spiky and unkempt frayed out as he yawned and rubbed his eyes. Getting up he made his way to the bathroom. First thing was he opened the door... AND RIPPED IT OFF THE HINGES!
Bewildered the old man, Taikichi stood there holding a door in one hand as he woke up a bit more, wondering just how he had done that. His mind raced with visions of the day previous and the power of the pearl he had swallowed. Looks like he had immense strength inside him now, and he had to be a bit more cautious with his normal life. Morning rituals aside, once dressed and adorned with his various miscellaneous items and whatnot's, he was out and into the main courtyard, where only a day before there was two great dragons standing. One now lived in the dragon scale on his left shoulder, looking more like a shoulder pad.
"Mmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhpphhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
He yawned and stretched as he looked around the courtyard. |

Byoki awoke early in the morning feeling energetic after sleeping in a warm bed. Leaving his weapons with the bed in the room he had slept in, byoki peeled a few layers from his clothing to adapt to the desert climate.
Walking quietly away from his bed he ventured out into a courtyard, hearing other steps entering the courtyard as well.
Good Morning to our gracious host, byoki said bowing his head towards the direction of Taikichi.

Sitting in the courtyard Kou pondered on what he was going to tell the village about why he was late. This trip was not planned so he was sure people would begin to wonder what was up. Though if this panned out to be what he thought, then he would be bringing home a possible missing-nin. He was sure he heard a member of one of the clans had went missing, and this guy somehow reminded him of some one in the village.
His thoughts were interrupted by sounds of someone entering the yard, followed by another set of foot steps. Looking around he saw the old man along with his friend both finally getting up. With a sigh he stood up stretching his tired body before walking to greet both of them.
"Whats up fools. Its about time you two got up"

Taikichi looked at the other two, both guests of his families monastery, one of them with a bit of an odd tone on him. Being the elder he was, Taikichi just kind of remarked the man with an odd sort of look.
"Odd thing to say when you are a guest in someones house---I'll wake when I please"
He said, glaring at the man for a second and almost veiling some kind of threat. And then he just couldn't hold it anymore, and broke out laughing, as his serious demeanor just kind of faded, he was certainly jesting with the both of them.
"Glad to see you both have survived the night, did you sleep well?"
He asked the two of them. |

Byoki laughed with the men, ending in a smile, this would be a good day byoki thought. Byoki's stomach growled, It had been several days since byoki had a home cooked meal and he was definitely looking forward to it. His stomach growled as he held is hand over it, then he looked to taikichi.Well now that we are all up how about some breakfast?

One could see some worry coming to Kou's face as it seemed the man was angered by his words. People often mistook the way Kou spoke as insulting, but truth be told he was mostly joking around. He was about to say something to apologize when the old man began laughing oddly hard. It would seem the old man made a funny that he thought was funnier then it actually was. At first Kou kinda laughed more out of confusion, though it built up so that he was laughing just as hard as the old man. After a moment he took a deep breath as the old man asked about how well they slept.
"I slept like a tranquilized baby. You rock old man"
He put a fist out there to give the guy knuckles since he had let them stay there. Though Kou still wondered why they were there in the first place it was still better then just going home. Just about to ask how his companions slept Kou was caught with his mouth open as the younger man asked about breakfast. You could tell based of his face that Kou was in a quick agreement at the idea of a hot breakfast.
"I am down"

  Breakfast did sound good, especially since he had matters he had to get done today, of which were gravely important. He nodded to Byoki, though noticed the man was blind and realized, not such a good idea. The other one he just kind of looked at, as he presented his fist in an odd fashion... Taikichi didn't get it... He looked over from their main guest bunk quarters, to the main house, where some kids could be seen running inside. Relatives of his, after all this was his families monastery, and with a gesture of his head, he indicated that's where breakfast would be.
As he looked over at the main house, an old woman came out of the doorway, holding a broom in her hand, and she glared down Taikichi. Taikichi glared her down as well, and for a moment there, you would think they were about to duke it out. Until she smiled, and he nodded, a sly grin on his face.
"M'kay boys, its inside---this way"
The large old white haired man said, as he mode his way towards the main house, to where breakfast was being served to his nephews, his cousins, and younger siblings.

Once inside Byoki began to scarf down his breakfast, eating until his full. After which he thanked the chef, that was very good he said. Byoki paused for a few minutes as conversation went on then when he found an opening to speak he spoke to their gracious host.
I thank you very much for your hospitality you have been an amazing host. With how much strength i have gained so quickly it will be easy to set off on my journey again. He said with a smile taking in the sounds and smells of the room.

Upon receiving his breakfast Kou had to admit it was pretty good, so he ended up eating more then he thought. When he felt his belly pushing against his belt line he figured he had enough, so he pushed his plate aside to clear space. Letting out a belch he leaned back in the chair and placed his feat on the table while he began to rub his belly. Hearing Byoki thanking the chef Kou figured maybe he should too, after all the chef did make good food.
"Yeah. That breakfast was the bee's knee's"
Reaching into his jacket pocket he pulled out a tooth pick and began to pick at his teeth. A smirk came unto his face as he heard Byoki talking, it was kinda funny how proper he was. Kou was surprised by the statement about gaining power, from his point of view Byoki did not look like the 'powerful' type. Shrugging his shoulders he continued picking at some meat stuck in his teeth, as long as Byoki was cool it did not matter how 'powerful' he was.

A twitch came across Taikichi's face, as he looked at the two, then focused more on Kou. The boys manners were non existent, belching without saying excuse me, feet on the table, a crass tone. The older white haired man, slowly shuffled back from the table. He knew what was soon to follow considering she was standing at the doorway to the kitchen and the dining room area, holding a broom. An old woman, much like Taikichi, his elder cousin actually. With speed that would make a Kage seem slow, she was at the kid and the broom flew to knock him on the top of his head. Considering it was a surprise a attack (And not too dangerous of one at that) the boy probably had no chance to dodge, especially given how he was positioned.
"FEET OFF THE TABLE!!! WHAT WERE YOU RAISED BY WILD DESERT LIZARDS!"
She yelled, right in his ear.
Meanwhile, Taikichi just sat there, attempting to not gain eye contact with her, and turning hi attention over to Byoki.
"Thats good to hear, I'm guessing you will be leaving soon...I myself am having to take off later today, on a long---dangerous journey"
He said, and in the back of his head, the great dragon spirit roused and stared daggers at Taikichi. Hey---I didn't say where, and it would be good to have some company, especially when traveling in disguise, if these enemies are as dangerous as you and Ao have led me to believe He thought to the dragon, which made some mild protest, but simmered back down. |

Byoki tried his hardest not to laugh at kou who was about to be pummeled by the old women's broom.
Holding in his smirk of amusement byoki turned his head towards taikichi's voice. A long and dangerous mission you say? That is interesting, you are a important man here in the desert?
Byoki wished he hadn't lost his memory two years ago maybe he might have recognized something about the man or his name. Yet that was the way of the world for byoki not sure who he was or where he had come from. Byoki pondered about the old mans statement wondering what sort of mission he could be going on. Maybe it had something to do with yesterday and all the chakra swirling through the monastery and through the old man. Byoki could sense the massive chakra within the old man, but he would have to be diligent to keep him from knowing he could sense it. |

Kou was actually enjoying himself for a while, that was until some old bat hit him in the head with a broom. The weight of the unexpected attack threw him off balance as he leaned back in the chair. His feet went crazy as if trying to find some footing to save him from falling, they sent plates everywhere. Food splattered all over a little girl sitting next to him, making her start to cry well Kou fell back hitting his head hard on the ground. Squinting his face in pain he was quick to hold his head in his hands as he rolled out of the chair. Slowly getting up he groaned in pain before suddenly realizing why the little girl was crying.
"Well now that was rude... look at what you did!"
He was almost yelling in frustration as he began to help the little girl out with cleaning up. Grabbing a turned over plate he began to scoop food unto it well making silly faces at the girl in hopes to make her smile. It was hard to believe that old lady would be so dis respectful to her guests without care of anyone else. Shaking his head he pulled some food from her hair and tossing it unto what was now the scraps plate.
"Sorry about this. Anything I could do to make you feel better"
Speaking in a soothing tone Kou tilted his head with a smile on his face as he asked her the question. Caught up with helping her he did not notice the food on his clothes, and forgot about the pain in his head. All he worried about was cleaning up the mess well trying to make this kid feel better.

The old woman just glared at the boy.
"No, you did that, being all funny and flailing, a man like you shouldn't be so afraid of tipping over and should have better control!"
She said, matter of factually as she thwapped him again with the broom and then slowly hobbled away like an old woman would.
Hmmmph...finally someone gets it Taikichi thought as Byoki spoke, but as he did, he heard a thought in the corner of his mind Taikichi-Kun, he can see and sense you---I can feel him looking Came the voice of the Dragon God Spirit Sieryuu. Sou ka..
"Well, important is a strong word, I am respected for my talents...and one of the few living who have seen the tides of the last and worse shinobi world war... But it seems I am destined to be part of such things, as a new war is coming, in a far off land, and they need help..."
He said and paused, not knowing just what to tell Byoki, it was still somewhat of a secret to some of the dangers in the land far to the east.
"But aside from that, I have other things I must do and today is the day of adventure"
He said and paused, before in a flash of movement he was standing one leg up on the table as he struck a pose point out and up into the sky.
"Adventures of frivolity and lovely ladies---The only kind befit for a man of my appetites"
He exclaimed, as his cousin came back into the room glaring daggers at him, broom still in hand.

 Byoki smirked at the shenanigans of kou and the old women, realizing he was glad to not be on the other side of the broom as kou was.
Yet as byoki pushed out with his sense something flickered in the room only for a moment, a small change in the chakra surrounding the old man. Byoki watched the whirling ebb of flowing chakra, such great power in this old man. Peering with his chakra sensory ability he looked at Taikichi.
Byoki froze twitching he accidently knocked his cup off the table. He stared into the swirling chakra the flicker pressing against his mind. Something was watching him, much in the same way Byoki sensed others, something was looking into him.
The cup plummeted as though in slow motion then with quick reflexes byoki caught it right before it hit the ground. Luckily for him Taikichi had stood over the table pointing and announcing in a grandiose way his adventures. Byoki brought the cap to his lap hiding it for a moment before secretly setting it back on the table while Taikichi spoke his epic speech of adventure.
Hopefully no one noticed, Byoki thought to himself...

This time Kou was ready for the old ladies attack and was quick to block it. Her actions made him have to resist the urge to back hand a disrespectful, cranky old lady. Dusting himself off in frustration Kou looked over to Byoki, hearing what they were saying made him wonder what all was being hidden from him. It was probably time to send word to his village about where he was, though he doubted his explanation would be enough. All he had at the moment was following some guy that looked like a person from Konoha, but that was about it.
"I need to go outside..."
He spoke as he fixed his collar out of frustration as he had a lot on his mind right now. Without another word he calmly walked out of the building while pulling out a smoke. Most times he had to think Kou would smoke a cigarette as if they made him think better, or like they cleared his head. Right now he had to figure out what this guy was up too, and what to tell his village about why he is not already there.

With his little outburst, Taikichi grinned and stood now away form the table. As Kou went outside, he looked over to Byoki.
"Yes, fresh air does sound nice---also---gotta see if that Dragon is still sleeping out there"
Taikichi said, , as he pulled a pipe from his inner robe, and stuffed it with some sweet smelling herbs. He then it a match and lit up the herbs in his pipe as he stepped out into the courtyard. His home, and kingdom, his family having lived here for more then a couple hundred years. As he gazed from the porch out over the courtyard, to the dragon sleeping on the far side, Taikichi thought hard on his task before him.
"So, boys, which way are you headed now?"
He asked between drags on his pipe and puffs of smoke.

Byoki followed the old man out watching as he smoked his pipe. Gazing out to the world with his senses the smells, the sounds, something large slept across the way. Its breathing heavy, echoing across the courtyard.
Taikichi do you have some sort of pet nearby he said as he slowly walked into the open courtyard. I can hear its breath he peered out with his chakra senses. The blob of light and chakra nearly made him need to block out the view with its radiance. Probably better to let it sleep byoki said halting his path towards the beast.
To answer your question taikichi i believe i will be heading to konoha, this man kou will be guiding me there. My hope is to gather information about where i am from. You see i had suffered an accident a few years ago and i do not remember much about my past.
Byoki listened and waited trying to gather the faintest flicker of emotion from the old man, hoping to understand if he had spoken to much and may have put them in a dangerous situation or not.

Once outside Kou found a near by wall to lean against before pulling out a smoke as he though of what he should do. He cared little about the two following him out and focused more on what he was going to explain to his superiors. Especailly if this guy was not a missing nin of Konoha it would be difficult to explain why he was gone longer that what he should have been. Puffing on his smoke Kou merely watched the two converse as he had been doing basically the whole time he was here. It almost felt as if he was intruding which did not help the uncomfortable feeling that he had since they arrived here.

Taikichi nodded. Konohagakure was some ways off, at least, that what he believed, having not been through those parts recently, things may have changed.
"I too am heading west, on vacation"
He said and looked over at the smoking man. Cigarettes, such a waste, Taikichi never understood how anyone could smoke such things, as he took a drag on his pipe and breathed the smoke out slowly through his nostrils.
"Pet? Nah, thats just Ao Qin, one of them dragons... came here cause he owes me a favor"
He said, not wishing to explain the whole story to them nor thinking they needed to know. It was not their concern, but it struck him, he could easily tag along with them a ways, until he got close where he needed to be. This would help him keep his cover, lest someone of the enemy's camp be on the lookout for himself. But how would he disguise the dragon? Good question. |

A dragon byoki remarked standing strangely for a moment as though he was not sure what to do or say next. Interesting byoki mumbled, he was unsure what to say next but his worries about speaking of konoha at least had resigned.
So dependent on our spirits byoki said with his face peering towards kou, we should be fine to leave soon. Pausing for a few moments byoki turned back to facing taikichi, you had mentioned a vacation.
I am rather curious regarding your earlier words during breakfast, in which you said you had some sort of dangerous mission. Is it a part of your vacation?
Byoki waited for a moment and then remembered the words kou had said a little earlier. Hoping to show the same kindness kou had shown to him byoki decided to blurt out another question to taikichi.
Also on a side topic you wouldn't happen to have a way to send messages rather quickly, my traveling companion kou mentioned that he needed to report home. I hope to make sure he doesn't get in trouble on account of his desire to help me.
