I'm here....

The girl... no, Hikari... was presumably lead to the kage's office by the boy she had met at the gates. She peeked around the open door and looked in. She then proceeded to timidly walk in, covering the scars on the right side of her face with her right hand. "H-H-Hello? I-I would like to talk.... with you... for a l-little bit." She would speak, stammering slightly. Would he kill her?

Komizu was walking by Hikari's side, a grin plastered onto his face while he moved forward. It wasn't everyday you met someone new. Who knows, they might become friends and Komi would be able to bring her to Ichiraku's! His grin grew wider at the small thought. Due to not having a large amount, the blonde is always excited at the prospect of a new pal. He stopped walking once they had arrived at Yukio's door. He rose an eyebrow when Hikari began to open the door. Though, the jinchuuriki would have attempted to stop her by pulling her hand away. "Let me handle it! You're a guest to the village, I shouldn't be letting you open doors!" he would have said with a blinding smile. If she allowed him to, the boy would have kicked open the door with force enough to almost break it. The piece of wood should have made a large "slam" against the wall. "HEY!! MUTT!!" he would've exclaimed, "WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO NEEDS TO SPEAK WITH YOU!!"

Yukio at his desk filing paper work looked at the door and shouted "You may enter im just doing work" kouga layed down flapping his tail and glanced at komi and a strange girl with scars on her face "Who might you be?"

Hikari gasped at the loud noise. Looking up at the boy for reassurance, she walked stiffly and insecurely into the room. There was the hokage, assumably. Something from her memory spoke, "Yukio Inuzuka", with her Oto-san's voice. She gasped slightly, then hunched up on a chair, covering the scars with her right hand, afraid to show them to this obviously superior man. "Um.... b-before I came to Konoha... I didn't have a name. It was because of him", (she indicated the boy), "... he named me. I... I guess I'm Hikari now." The name was reassuring to her, as in her memory, she saw her Oto-san, roaring with victorious laughter over a fallen opponent, as shadows climbed over the walls of a room.

Suddenly, she couldn't hold back. The tears began to freely run down her face. "I.. I'm the daughter of the Tsuchikage. My Oto-san created me from his own cells about a week ago, but he messed up in the procedure, so I'm a mistake, a flaw! I wanted to come here, to get help." She suddenly realized what she was doing. She was becoming a liability, a complainer. Yukio might even think that she was requesting that they take care of her. She quickly covered her mouth her right hand, stopping herself from speaking any further.

However, at the same time, her scars would become revealed. She couldn't do anything, and just sat there, waiting for the impending stare of disgust.

"I... I just wanted to warn you about... about..." she broke down into tears. She couldn't handle it... first her not being able to hold back the flood of words, then the scars.... it was too much for her. And the fact that all this was in front of the hokage and the boy who saved her.... it was too much.

Komizu's grin immediately turned into a frown upon the site of Hikari crying again. The daughter of the Tsuchikage? That was definitely a surprise. The boy quickly made his way beside Hikari and patted her back. "Don't worry, everything is going to be okay.. trust me," he whispered softly. Komi turned his head to face Yukio and began to speak again. "Yukio, I really think she needs out help. Do you think we can do anything?" he asked. The concern could be seen in his eyes as he looked at his friend. Of course, due to having a rough past himself he hated seeing people cry and look depressed. It made him feel bad on the inside.

Yukio watched as this unknown girl approached him and cried revealing who she was and what her purpose was for being here. She had scars on the right side of her body shivering crying. She seemed so weak and feeble collapsing and frightened "Your the daughter of the Tsuchikage hmmm Ive heard that man is something else......and your here to warn me about?" Just as he asked she collapsed in tears. Kouga walked to the girl slowly

"Yeah... he is... something else." She shivered at the thought. She didn't have all of her father's memories, but it was enough to know what he was planning to do to the world. "He is darkness." She would say this with a calmer, softer, more serious tone. The tears had stopped now. "Not just in his soul, but physically, he can become darkness. I don't know w-what that entails, or what else he can do with it.... but I do know some things. He can make... people like me, using just a pulse of chakra. And he IS darkness. He could be here now, listening and watching, and we wouldn't know it, because he could be hiding in your shadow.... or mine." She looked up at Yukio, her lips trembling. "I don't want that much help.... just a little food, maybe a night's rest, and I'll be on my way, if you want. I truly don't want to b-be a... a burden." Hikari knew that this was the right thing to do. But deep inside, she hoped that just maybe... this would be the family she was looking for. A real father, a real brother, who would heal her, and help her beat her Oto-san.

'So.. this Tschukage is a bad guy?' he thought. Weren't Kages supposed to help others and protect their village? Protect the peace that was currently in the Ninja World? They weren't supposed to leave their daughters for dead! The thought simply sickened Komi, forcing him to grit his teeth in anger. Not only that, but there was her comment of being a burden. She might've been one in Iwagakure, but no one who stepped foot in Konoha is a burden! "... Hikari," he started, "You know the meaning of your name don't you? It means light. Light always conquers over darkness. Don't you ever forget that fact." The boy looked at Yukio with almost pleading eyes. He really wanted to help this girl, at least until she could stand on her own two feet. He was sure the Inuzuka wouldn't mind it.. would he? It seems Komi would simply have to wait and see. And if he said no... then there wasn't really anything he could do about that.

Yukio watched the pleading girl explain her situation and looked at komi "Your father is a evil man you say with intentions....i can only imagine what he is capable of " He looked at komi and gave him a look "Komi find her a living quarters to sleep and stay while i sort out and matter I am going to alert the other ninja and find her escorts" He began to write out messages for the ninja detailing her arrival and her information

An evil man? From what she knew, that didn't even fathom the darkness of his soul. He didn't even consider himself evil, which was the worst part. As she thought back, she sort of knew what he was capable of.... village destruction, insane acts of violence.... all for the good of "himself". Hikari didn't like that; she knew it was wrong. Then, she heard the man say something about sleeping quarters. So... they were letting her stay the night? ... how wonderful! She could hardly believe it.

She gave the hokage a shy smile, and got up from her seat, looking up at the boy behind her. "Thank you b-both...." Unsure of what to do, she looked to the boy for help.

Yukio got up and patted her shoulder placing something there to keep tabs on her and smiled "As long as your here you are safe no matter what you are under my protection" He snapped his fingers and gave her flowers "For you so the flowers of the leaf will guide through these dark times and shelter you " He smiled and walked back to his desk

As he zipped through the shadows, Kozai would appear as darkness in the hokage's room, a thin, filmy darkness the covered the walls, the ceiling, and the lightbulbs, allowing a little, but not much light through. Kozai himself would come through the darkness, in a semi-solid form, ready to change into intangible form at any moment. Hmm.... so, this was the kage, Yukio Inuzuka. A sturdy man to be sure. There was some boy there.... a jinchuuriki. Kozai could sense the beast with his chakra sensory. How interesting, he would have to keep note of this. And there was his "mistake"; enough said.

"Well, well, what a pleasant surprised. To find you here, 'mistake', is not surprising. I just wanted to have a friendly meeting with Mr. Hokage here, and you have to mess everything up. Oh, but where are my manners?" Turning to the hokage, he would incline slightly, saying "Ah, I'm the Tsuchikage. I was just coming here for a diplomatic meeting. However, I find that you have my daughter instead." Here, he smiled, the flawless white teeth a brilliant contrast to his shadowy body.

Sighing, he would concede one point. "I won't violate the international political asylum standards. But know that she's a failed experiment, that she doesn't deserve the care that you may want to give her. Anyways, seeing as this is a bad time to interrupt you, I'll come back later, if that's fine with you." He would wait for a response, becoming completely intangible.

[Sorry 'bout crappy post, I have to leave]

"Yes sir, mutt, sir," Komi said with a lazy salute and a grin on his face. He was glad Hikari was going to be able to stay for a while. That way, he could help her get back on her feet! He gave a soft smile to Hikari and simply nodded as his reply. He rose an eyebrow once he saw Yukio hand the girl flowers though. The words he spoke afterwards were actually a bit calming, even to Komi. Komizu's smile grew bigger as he walked up to Hikari and held out a hand. "Come on! Let's go find you place to stay!" his eyes seemed to sparkle as he talked. The boy took a moment to face Yukio before opening his mouth once more, "Yukio, you can count on me! I'll get Hika-chan to her new home ASAP!" Komi's smile had transformed into a silly grin in only a few seconds once he finished speaking.

However, it was at that second the walls in the room had been covered in darkness. The light slowly being swallowed up, allowing only a small amount to be released. He could make out a figure though, a man it seemed. Just what was some stranger doing here anyway? Komi simply listened into what he new arrival was saying, his eyes soon widening in surprised. "The Tsuchikage?!" he growled out. The boy grit his teeth once the man continued to speak, saying crap about Hikari being a mistake. How would he know anything anyway?! Komizu simply stood in place and waited until the Tsuchikage had finished talking. ".. What the hell was that?!" he questioned out loud.

Hikari reached out, taking the flowers. Her smiled was a little brighter now, but still somewhat reserved and shy. These people in Konoha were so kind... but then the room darkened, and she felt a familiar presence. Could this be...? When her Oto-san emerged, she gasped, almost unable to breathe. What was he doing here? Was he here to punish her... was he here to kill her? She listened to what he had to say, he face going red with rage and white with fear alternatively. He still referred to her as a "mistake"... how could he? If he had created her, he may as well.... no. Her Oto-san wasn't like that. Even her sister Hanako wasn't loved.

Hikari collapsed onto the boy's arm. "Please.... please get me out of here...." she would plead with him, terror and fear lining her features. She felt terrified. Her Oto-san... had found her.

[ooc im voiding your exit your trying to enter my office so easy with out going through the entrance and such like even izuno does it right ]

[ooc post edited]

Yukio watched as this kage appeared in his office and threatened this child "Hikari you may go i want to speak with this man in person" Yukio twirled a kunai in his hand bored out of his mind "So invading my office without permission and Threatening a guest two for two " He twirled the kunai and looked at Kouga as he growled loud and snarl "He is not right with me i do not trust this monster one bit!" He barked at him loudly

The resounding voice would echo forth from the intangible darkness; "Ah, now, Hokage. I threatened no one. Did I ever promise violence towards anyone? As for my appearance, it's more of a safeguard than anything else." The fact that Yukio thought he had threatened someone was ridiculous. However, he had admittedly invaded the office. He had merely wanted to save time by bypassing security. Kozai didn't state this out loud, though, it was common sense. He would withdraw the shadow from the walls and ceiling, returning light to the room. So much for a dramatic entrance.

Yukio calmed his pup companion down "Kouga heel bow he is not a enemy at the moment he is just visiting" Kouga backed away slowly and sat back in his place. Yukio's office began to brighten due to kozai pulling back his darkness around "Now about your daughter....why is she a mistake....why is she afraid of you " He walked towards kozai and smirked "Your daughter had a mouthful to tell me about you.....she called a evil man with intention so tell me what are you planning Tsuchikage sama" Yukio watched him closely

[OOC: assuming you meant "not", and not "now", also assuming that the other two have left, due to the sudden change in posting order]

Kozai made himself completely solid. Well, it appeared that the Hokage had made time for him, what a well-bred man. Well, the "mistake" had given away his secrets, or at least some of them. From what he had observed so far, she was socially awkward due to her appearance. How interesting; he could collect data from this even though she was outside of his control.

"Evil? Hm... I do believe that's subjective, Hokage-sama. However, as to my plans, they aren't too brash. I don't plan on invading anybody, as that would destabilize the finely running machine of diplomacy. However, I came to give you a word of caution. There is a growing group of missing ninja, with quite large chakra signatures. Whether or not they're heading this way is beyond my knowledge. I just came to ask if you might have any information... on these men." As he spoke, he would create a solid statue of thin darkness, which would take on the clear appearance of the man whose DNA he had taken some while back. Other shadow constructs would form, taking on the appearances of the other missing-ninja he had observed when he had stolen the blade design of the Executioner's Sword. He hoped the Hokage would supply at least some useful information, otherwise, Kozai was wasting his time here.

Yukio raised a brow at the Tsuchikage when he became a solid figured and when he mentioned a group of rouge ninja "A growing group you say? I had no such knowledge of this threat you speak" He watched as the Tsuchikage created statues of Four of the ninja he mentioned and he walked around them trying to see every detail of the men "I'm sorry lord Tsuchikage but i do not recognize these men with their strange outfits" He looked at the man the Tsuchikage at mentioned he took DNA from "Why take DNA from him what is so special?"

Kozai smiled. So... it looked like this was a pretty covert group... or maybe the Hokage was hiding something, possibly something that would shame his village. If one of those four was originally from Konoha, then Yukio would have good reason to hide his information. Well, he couldn't get anything out of the Hokage, and wasn't going to give away all of his own secrets for nothing, so he merely said, "Maybe you should think about how I created my daughter. I took my own cells and created her from them. Now, I have no further business here. If I may leave one final, diplomatic statement... trust no one. Not even yourself." With that, Kozai stepped forward in a semi-intangible form into Niflheim.
