The beginning of a long journey

Stepping off of the large ship after it docked into the Aurora Harbor Raina sighed with relief. After two days on the boat she was almost sick from the constant waving motion from being on the sea. Running her fingers through her back length snow white hair she observed the scene around her with bright orange eyes. It seemed her skin was paler. Under her eyes and on the third chakra between her eyes were the markers of a Kanakosa Elder, an honor her brother had passed to her during their brief meeting before the war. The priestess wore a long flowing blue robe that showed off her shoulders.

Picking up her backpack from the ship works she started across the way, very determined to find the reason she returned to Aurora. It seemed her old friends had been busy as she during the war and Raina was left with an important task. The woman looked around, studing the faces of people left and right of her. Then she started asking around, "Excuse me, have you seen a girl about the age of genin(If that's her rank??) Her name is Kimiko?" They all replied no until an older woman informed her there was a young girl that had been waiting at the docks for a few days. Turning that way Raina saw the girl and smiiled.

Heading towards her Raina studied the form of the girl, and in a matter of seconds could already tell this was her. Kimiko Satsukari.

"Hello Kimiko-chan." She said smiling

Raina nodded her head and set down her backpack and rested her hands on her stomach. "My name is Raina Kanakosa, I'm an old friend of your father. I received contact that you would be here. Ryuu-san did intrust me to look after you incase of anything." Raina knew how it was to lose a father. And Ryuu did leave very specific intrustion on how to train Kimiko. So she couldn't help but smile knowing there was going to be a new generation of Xzeno to keep the bloodline alive.

The girl was so very excited. Raina's smile couldn't get bigger. "Yes dear. The ways of the Satsukari are derived from The Ancient Xzeno Clan. It is an old and powerful clan from which I and your father stemed from. My brother and I were of the Fire Element and Ryuu-san was Darkness, much like your element from what I see of your chakra." Raina closed her eyes and blinked them open, activating her Xzeno Fire eyes. They flashed different shades of red and yellows, almost like fire themselves. Then she blinked as they returned to their normal shade of gold. "I will train you to the best I can. For.. as far as I am aware.. I might be the only Xzeno of my generation left.." Her smile faded a bit. as she bent down to pick up her backpack and slump it over her shoulder. "So we shall train at my home, where I can protect you and train you."

As they walked down the docks and towards the gates of the Village Raina nodded to the girl. "I live in the Land of Mystery. Its a safe land and close to Aurora. And as for that, I live with my husband, Ochita." The priestess smiled.

Raina saw the girl reach out her hand. And happily took it in her own. The Kanakosa knew that this training for Kimiko would be very hard.. But just feeling her chakra confirmed that she could handle it. "So Kimiko-chan, tell me about yourself."

Ryohei Sasagawa was a happy-go-lucky person, who never deared anything nor backed off to anything. He was also a straight guy, liking to run in a straight pathway, not turning right or left. "Mens do not turn." as he put it.
Thus...he had run, out of his Reunion Room, leaving all his counselors behind for the sake of EXTREME training, moving in a straightforward line, following the main street, towards the exit of his village, saluted the guards who didn't bother trying to stop him (it was useless and more dangerous than anything else) and followed the ice path that guided him through the Rainbow Glaciers and making him end up at the Harbor.

The Harbor was filled with people, but he noticed immediately two new faces. The youngest was on the short side, the other one of around his height. Both girls were cute, he decided when he saw their faces.
Interested in the new visitors, he ran towards them at full speed, leaving a big cloud of dust behind him and stopped with a lot of noise in front of them.
"Good morning!" he exclaimed. "My name is Sasagawa Ryohei and I'm the Kage of this village TO THE EXTREME! Welcome to Aurora!"

Raina took in the information and smiled at the end. "Hehe I do also love sweet foo-" The woman was interrupted by a tall, silver haired man, she was suprised that suddenly walked up to them. He introduced himself as the Kage. Raina was almost suprised until she remembered that she had been away from the village for awhile.

Nevertheless she smiled and bowed slightly. "Good day Lord Kage Ryohei. I am Raina Kanakosa, Priestess of the House of Life." Then she looked down at Kimiko as if telling her it was her turn to introduce herself.

Ryohei blinked and tapped his chin, thinking for a while, trying to remember the precise reason why Sora had left her position and he got his.
"Ah, yes, she was the Kage before me, TO THE EXTREME! But, I replaced her! I don't know why anymore. But she is safe, don't worry!" he replied, grinning, patting her on the head. "If you need me for something, call for me TO THE EXTREME!"
He started to jog again, on the same spot, fire burning in his eyes again.
"I shall leave you two now! I have EXTREME morning training! Enjoy Aurora TO THE EXTREME!"And he ran away, to another unknown direction.

After the Kage ran away the girls stood for an awkward silence. Finally Raina said, "Well uh.. That was informative and interesting.." She laughed uneasily and looked down at Kimiko. "But he's right you know. Sora-chan is alive and well, we grew up together and I know she is well. Now lets head on over to the gates."


{After Kimiko's post next post will be in the Village Gates.}

Nodding to the girl Raina's smile grew soft, remembering the old times with her friends. So few of them that remained.. Then she quickly looked ahead and went blank. She had limited time.. Oh man she better hurry before she will not be able to give Kimiko the Test.

"C'mon Kimi-chan, we must make haste. we have to get to the Land of Mystery.." And with that she started walking much faster towards the gates, dragging along the girl.
