The Lonely Trail

A trail just big enough a horse or person could walk on. It winds through the forest and leads to one of the villages, but it is unknown at this time which village it leads to.

Icisia reappears in the forest with her hands on her head. "C'mon! Remember!" In pure anger she punches the nearest tree. To her surprise, the tree explodes from the impact. "Holy sh-- I'm physically THAT strong?" her gaze travels down to her hands and her eyes widen. She notices the chakra flow in her body is so strong that her hands literally emit a small pulse of energy with each second that goes by. "This is too weird. I need to think," she says as she takes off running swiftly and silently down the trail.

Ryuu had been out walking around his hair over his eyes and his eye lids closed, finding his way around by smell, hearing, and sensing the chakra around him as he sometimes still did. Well walking around he felt a familiar chakra source. As he headed towards the female the chakra was coming from he finally opened his eyes as he approached her.

"Hello" he spoke calmly as to try not to alarm the ninja, he knew he remembered the chakra nature of the women but couldn't put a name on it.

Icisia watched the shinobi talk to her clone from a nearby tree branch. "Who is that guy?" she didn't sense anything evil about this shinobi, but it never hurt to be careful. She breathes out slowly and quietly, feeling a bit tired from all of this running.

Ryuu frowned slightly and taped the clone on the shoulder, still pretty much oblivious to the fact it was a clone. "Hello?" he asked as he felt yet another chakra source similar to the one of the clone in front of him "ehh...what ever..." he thought silently to himself as he waited for the clone to respond.

"Hm, that was a crappy crystal clone anyway." Icisia cancels the clone so the crystal shatters in front of Ryuu and she jumps down from her tree branch, dusting her shoulder from a leaf. "Who are you?" she asks.

Ryuu smiled to himself slightly, he was curious about the strange chakra the women had and that just answered his question. With a slight spin he turned to face the crystal lady. "My name is Ryuu Satsukari, current head of the Satsukari clan and council member of the Aurora village" he said with a small bow.

"May i ask for your name?" he asked in a clam and polite tone. The kindness was slowly starting to get to him, it had been a very long time since he had gotten the chance to just go out and be violent, but he knew for the wellbeing of both him and his daughter he had to continue to be kind to people.

Icisia listened intently to his introduction. "Nice to meet you Satsukari Ryuu. I am Ekisho Icisia. I have a slight problem fore I have lost my memory and I don't know how but from my headband I believe I was a part of the Aurora village. I think it's been a couple of years maybe? I'm not entirely sure," she shrugs as her violet eyes sparkle in the sunlight.

Her headband was the only clue as to who she was. Her headband had a few drops of blood, but Icisia couldn't gather how their was blood on it. It was just another mystery that hopefully she could solve.. soon.

Ryuu nodded, "well then i hope that you soon remember everything. If you ever need someone to talk to I'm usually around the village" he said with a smile. When Icisia had stated her name he instantly remembered who she was, but chose just to continue as if he had never met her before.

However when he saw Icisia's eyes sparkling in the sun his smile faded as a sigh escaped his mouth. The violet eyes had reminded of the women he had spent years training with but had passed on leaving him alone with there child.

"Hm?" Icisia smiled and nodded at Ryuu's response. "I'll keep that in mind. It was a pleasure meeting you Satsukari Ryuu, but I have this feeling that I must be moving on. I don't know what it is, it's weird. But hey, gotta go with your instincts sometimes, right?"

Ryuu laughed slightly and nodded, "It is always a good idea to fallow your instincts. But if you ever find yourself in these parts again you know where to find me" he said bowing slightly in respect.

She smiles to her new acquaintance and bows in respect. "I'll keep that in mind." With that, Icisia turns and vanishes in a burst of rose petals.

Ryuu smiled and turned to head back to the village, he could be back in moments if he flickered but he chose to enjoy the quiet stool before having to return to his daughter.
