Up on the Rooftops [open] « Thread Started on Mar 9, 2008, 2:22pm »
Gaara sighed as he sat at the edge of the roof of the kazekage mansion. Staring out into the desert filled with the endless sands. He had come up here to think and to be alone. Because he had a stressful day signing papers and attending meetings.That he had no choice but to attend. So , right now he needed some escape time. So , he hoped that his guards would not notice his absence from his room.
And go out looking for him a frantic mode all over the village. Gaara then sniffled and looked over the edge of the roof. At the doors to the mansion , were he exited an hour earlier.After the guards had left him in his room. Gaara then made a face and looked straight on again. Relived that no guards had noticed he was not there. What the thought as he saw a bunch of people crowding in an alley near by.Next to a food place and a store cart.There seemed to have been a murder of some sort. By some unknown person , from what he heard from were he was.
He would normally go see what is wrong , but right now he was not in the mood. So , he really was not going to worry about it. Unless the guards heard about from someone around the village. And then came to get him , tell him to handle it. He then let go a large sigh as a slight wind whisked passed him. Caring the smell of fresh blade along with it. Gaara twitched a little and put his head down for a second, look at the shingles of the roof.
Hoping that it would cause to him to go crazy. Like it used back when he had Shukaku. He then blinked a couples some more. Before looking back up again when he was sure it was all gone. Just to be safe , after all you can never be to careful.

Ino felt like cursing the whole day. She cursed the air for drying her skin, cursed the sand for making her feel dirty, cursed the landscape for its lack of beauty, and cursed the bastard that killed her informant.
The blonde wove through the crowd, ignoring the looks she got from guys she brushed too close to. Her eyes, normally blue like a spring sky, had darkened with her mood so they looked like an approaching storm. Her clothing, light enough not to be burdensome in the heat, was covered in sand from her trip here to meet with the man who knew the whereabouts of her target. He was a dirty business man who was to exchange his information for mercy. Not anymore, the kunoichi thought angrily. She bushed a strand of blonde hair from her face and forced herself away from the crowd. Well, that was tough luck. Now she would have to find out who killed her little snitch. The wounds were caused by a ninja (a messy, low-ranking one at that) so it was no accident. Perhaps someone had seen...?
By pure chance, Ino caught sight of a shape on the rooftops nearby. It was a familiar and unforgettable silhouette. The Kazekage, with his closed mouth and opened eyes, might now something. Adjusting herself so she might seem a shadow of acceptable, she jumped up from roof to roof until she approached the red-head. There was a subtle caution in her step; she hadn't forgotten what he had done to Rock Lee. She approached from the side, so as not to seem sneaky or disrespectful. "Kazekage-sama?"

Gaara blinked a couple times before turning to look at Ino.He then sniffled and stared at her for a second. Trying to remember were he had seen her before. He then closed his eyes , remembered she was the girl who fought sakura. After second he re opened his eyes again. Wondering what a girl like her was doing in the desert. Because Judging by the way she looked today. She didn't seem to be happy wandering around her. After all she was probably used to nice cool air in the leaf village. "Yes" he finally said to calmy in his usual tone of voice.
As a medium sized ball landed on the roof by his foot. Gaara made a face at it from the corner of his eye. And then pushed it off the roof with some sand. And gently glided it down to the waiting kids below. Thank you Kazekage-sama The kids said to him with great happiness in there voice. Before setting off down the road kicking the ball. And laughing happily and making jokes among them selves. Gaara sniffled and returned his full gaze back to ino.

Ino's face gained a slightly miffed air when she noticed Gaara couldn't place her at first. It really wasn't his fault, since had had only seen her perhaps once or twice, but it was still annoying. She was used to being recognized widely in her own country, and being a faceless kunoichi did not suit her. We're he of a lower rank and not so creepy, she'd have taught him to remember the name Yamanaka Ino. She knew better, however (unlike some annoying Uzumaki boys she could name,) than to mouth-off in a fight she could survive, much less win.
Instead her eyes wandered as the ball rolled up and she was surprised at the lack of any angry or overly-annoyed response. Well no duh Ino, Shukaku's gone now. Not to mention he's not 12 anymore. Ino shook this from her head and instead smiled at the Suna shinobi. "Kazekage-sama, I was wondering if you knew anything about that..." she motioned a thin hand over toward the scene caused by the body and the crowd, "and who is responsible for it?" She kept her voice polite to him, though the spark in her eyes and the slightest differences in the way she held herself made clear her exhaustion and vexation. The trip from Konoha to Suna was no easy one, and ever since her weight had dipped under 100 pounds, her stamina had drained.

Gaara sniffled before looking over to the crowd of people below. And watched them for a couple of seconds as the panicked. Wondering what they were making such a big fuss about. An rogue ninja a rogue has been in the village. Oh my god I'll get some help right away. Gaara heard some rather skinny, sickly , and brown haired women scream loudly. Before she began he rants down the street. Gaara then turned his attention back over to Ino. And watched lady run toward the mansion from the corner of his eye.
" I think it was some rogue ninja"He finally said to Ino. Deciding to go along with what the sickly women was saying. Seeing he didn't know what had happened. Or who or what had done this horrible crime. Because well his wasn't really paying any attention to what was going on. He was just staring in to space , while trying to ignore his surrounds. So , he would get a break, not have to deal with things.
