Welcome To The Jungle (OPEN)

[quicksilver]

_{It was hot today, but then again it was always hot here. There hadn't been any rain here for sometime, but it wasn't showing. The trees were still green, rivers still full of clear, cool water and life was still good. But it was hot, very hot. There was no respite even in the shade and the water wasn't any better. There in the branches of the trees sat Razan. Though he was tired, he couldn't sleep, it was too hot. From that branch, Razan could oversee the entire area and what a view. The clear blue sky made the view absolutely perfect. Below the large tree he was sitting in, Razan saw that there was a large creek which ran past the tree and down the hill not too far away. "Ah, I'm starting to get a little warm again." Pushing his back up off the trunk of the tree and slowly made the hand signs. "Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu." A large dragon burst out of the creek below and shoots straight into the air, then vanishes and rains the water down on the tree. Standing up, Razan stretched out his arms and let the water rain down onto him and cool him off. "The only thing better than a great view and a cool shower would be some one to talk to."}

Ukiyo walked through the town of the Rain Village, but so far, it wasn't exactly living up to it's namesake. She twirled the umbrella over and over again in her hands, sighing dramatically.
"Geez, for all the talk they give on the rain village, you'd think it was monsoon season every day!" she said loudly, a few natives glaring at her reproachfully. When they'd turned around, Ukiyo immaturely stuck her tounge out at the back of their heads.
"Hot-heads..." she muttered under her breath, making sure no one heard her. Rain ninja were famous for their short tempers. Stepping outside the village, she walked around a sparesly forested field. Not paying attenion, Ukiyo didn't notice the water in the air until it was dumped on her. She jumped, tripping over a rock and falling falt on her butt.
"Holy nuts!! Where's that come from!?!" She yelled, not even knowing how loud she was.

[quicksilver]

_{"Holy nuts!! Where's that come from!?!" Razan opened his eyes and realized that he wasn't alone. Slowly he turned his head and gave a look around, trying to find the person who had said it. Finally, something moving caught his attention. Taking a single step, Razan dropped like a stone and landed gracefully on the ground, right in front of a person. Noticing it was a girl, Razan quickly concealed his left eye, not wishing to be the only weird on here. "You alright?" was the only thing Razan could come up with as he didn't know the young woman. Taking a few more steps, he extended his right arm as a gesture of helpfulness and opened his left eye, meeting hers in a dead stare.}

[::[Meimei]::]

Ukiyo stood, soaked, and slightly irked as she watched the young man drop from the tree banches. She smirked as he landed, and pretty close to her as well.
"You alright?" Ukiyo laughed a little, taking his hand.
"Haha, yeah. I'm fine! Just soaked!" she replied, shaking her head. He met her gaze ina dead stare, Ukiyo's jaw dropping a little when she saw his left eye. She backed away a little, trying to give herself breathing room.
"Well, that's a real interesting eye you've got there. Clan?" she commented, not trying to sound rude.

[quicksilver]

_{Razan wasn't surprised by her reaction to his unusual eye. Pulling her up off the ground, Razan let her hand go. "No, I'm not from a clan, just unique and very good looking." Razan grinned as he made a manly pose in front of her. "You're not from around here or else you would have started to drool over me..." He paused for a moment to catch his breath before he continued. "and yes that happens a lot. So, where are you from and what you're name?"}

[::[Meimei]::]

Ukiyo stood, wringing her hair out of water. She barked with laughter at his comment.
"Good looking eh? Frankly, I don't think I can argue with that, truefully!" she chuckled. Straightening her clothing, Ukiyo nodded.
"Nope. I come a small village that's between the Earth, Grass, and Fire country. Actually, I'm one of the few shinobis there, not to mention kunoichi! By the way, my name's Ukiyo Tarento!" she held out her hand as a gesture of friendliness.

[quicksilver]

_{Razan was starting to get interested in this young girl. "Name is Razan. Pleasure is all yours." He took her hand and shook it, returning her gesture. "Well, since you're new I guess it would be my honor to show you around. Follow me if you will." Razan bowed down and pointed towards the edge of the cliff. "Ladies first."}

[::[Meimei]::]

Ukiyo stared off at the edge of the cliff. She looked back at Razan out of the corner of her eye.
"You're kidding, right?" she laughed nervously. Shrugging, she grimance, and walked to the cliff.
"Here goes..." she stepped off, allowing her instincts to fly open.

[quicksilver]

_{Razan watched out of the corner of his eye as the girl moved over to the cliff and just walked off. "Not many people would just walk off a cliff, this chick is great!" Taking several steps back, Razan ran towards the edge and with little effort, leaped off. Placing his arms at his sides to make himself more aerodynamic, Razan soon flew past the girl. "Common babe, get the lead out!"}

[::[Meimei]::]

Ukiyo laughed, then flipped into a spin.
"God this is fun! Are you always this crazy?!" she called out over the roar of the wind. She laughed again at his words.
"Your gonna pay for that little quip when we get down!" she yelled, smiling.

[quicksilver]

_{Razan grinned. "If you can't keep up with me, then you can pay me back can you slow poke?" As the ground neared, Razan braced himself for the impact which he new was coming. Suddenly, he saw a tree branch a little further down. Grabbing onto it as he passed by, Razan spun around and landed neatly on top of it. Taking another step, he dropped from the trees and landed softly on the ground. Turning around, he checked to see if that girl was okay. "So, how are you gunna get me back exactly?"}

[::[Meimei]::]

Ukiyo banked in to land, landing hard. Standing up, she shook out her legs, dusting herself off.
"Psha. And why would I tell you that kind of information?" she asked over her shoulder, smirking.
"Now," she said, looking around herself, "where to are we heading?"

[quicksilver]

_{Razan grinned as he turned away from her. "Fair enough. As for where we're going, why would I tell you that kind of information?" Razan couldn't suppress his grin as he turned to face her. "So, what brought to around these parts madame?"}

[::[Meimei]::]

Ukiyo laughed, sticking her tounge out at him for stealing her lines. Her face dropped, thinking about what she needed to do.
"Well, um... I was kinda looking for any shinobi willing to start up a village, but..." her brows creased together in thought. She shrugged, sighing. "Not really expecting that to work now, though..."

[quicksilver]

_{Razan turned around and stopped, his face coming maybe one or two inches from hers. "First, sticking out your tongue is rude and not very mature so there." Razan stuck his own out and then followed it up with a smile. "Second, don't give up so easily. If you're not willing to fight for something, you mine as well be dead. That's what I was told anyways." The smile faded as he face turned serious. "Besides, people are always looking to start fresh. So what the hey, give it a shot and it just might work. Even if it doesn't, no harm done. You learn from you mistakes, most of the time anyway. No, onto the lake!" Pointing straight ahead of him, Razan started to march towards the lake. "Hurry up or I will find another girl to go with." Razan smiled again. He knew that this girl was different, but it was always fun to tease.}
