The Beginning of Citizenship [ - P - ]

Bankotsu followed behind Erza quietly as he looked around the Leaf village, gazing at its beautiful landscape and its even more beautiful buildings. The only thing that rivaled the beauty of the village at the moment was the red headed woman in front of him, although he would keep this to himself. When they had finally stopped at a house he would turn and look at it for a moment with a smile before hearing his name being called, his attention immediately going to her. With a smile he would look at her and chuckle," This is quite a nice house Erza, and what would happen? Would you perhaps attack a defenseless traveler who was merely showing you the attention you deserve? Or is it because you...already have someone claiming you," He smiled for a moment before giving the house a final look over. Turning back to her he would smile," My only question is how much is it?," his smile remained as he looked at her for a moment, wondering what her reaction would be.

Bankotsu had smiled and rested his hands into his pockets and fumbled around inside of them as he listened to her, the small voice inside of his head chittered for a moment," Seems like you have quite the effect on people...knew you were a softie," at the moment Bankotsu could not retort to the bijuu holstering inside of him, but soon..oh soon he would give it the talking of a life time. The bug had been giving him a little to much of a good personality when he was a loner, which was interesting and also irritation. At the end of Erza's speaking he would nod and look up to the sky," Well then it seems like this house will be perfect for me," although he would stop for a moment to look to her with a smile," and those punches sound like fun, so what do you say about that lunch i offered earlier? It would be nice to get to know the Kunoichi i am going to be working along side soon," he was hoping to get to speak with her on a more care free level so they could get to get to know each other a little better, unless she had better things to do.

Bankotsu chuckled lightly as he looked at Erza," Your smile is really something you know that?," he had figured that she would probably flip if she had found out that he was a Jinchurriki, but no one was going to know about that little tidbit until he felt like telling them. He could tell by her reaction that either she wasn't used to being asked out to lunch...or well no one asked her, but when she had stated that she did not accept him into the ANBU, he would walk up to her side and smile," I was hoping we could talk about that and see what i would need to do to work under you Erza, after all....it could benefit the village in someway," more or less he was speaking of his own ANBU training as well as the fact that he was indeed harboring another secret power inside of him.

There was that same glare as always although it was a little less mean than when he had first met her, which was a good thing and it was also kind of cute when you looked at it from a different angle. Setting the board he would nod to her," You are welcome Erza although i was wondering just how powerful of an ANBU captain you were, judging by how you carry yourself and the authority you have...i see you as being one of the more powerful ninja of the village in the village no?," taking off his jacket he would reveal his no sleeved vest which would show a small portion of his Azure Grimoire seal on his shoulders and arms, he wasn't concerned if she had saw this or now. Smiling he would crack his neck for a bit and set his hands into his pockets," How about a friendly spar to see how my skills are, maybe you can judge them first hand to see if i am good enough to join your ANBU, i promise you that you will not be disappointed," smiling he would wait for her response on if she wanted to spar or not.

Bankotsu had smiled before grabbing his jacket and board before jumping into the air and flying beside her closely with a smile as the board made a silent hum and the green flow of energy trailed lightly behind him. As the two made it to the training grounds he would land slowly onto the ground and look around for a bit," This is a nice training ground you all have here...nice, peaceful and spacious. Saying that this should be a training ground is an understatement, but this is a perfect place for us to spar no?," looking over to Erza he would set his board and coat into a nearby tree and wait for her to get ready before speaking again. He would now be ready to have a pretty interesting spar with her, with nothing noting her fighting style or preference he was going to have a semi hard time trying to do something about the fight. Shrugging however he would simply go with the flow and use "that" power if he needed to.
