Niji groaned as she let her head droop a bit.
She had so much paperwork, two formidable mountains sat on her desk. She sighed a bit as she began to sort them into a 'yes' stack and a 'No' stack. She had a smaller pile for things that just needed her signature.
She shook her head. She was a little bored today- it was so nice outside. A light layer of snow was on the ground and the sun was out...children were playing. It was a nice day- and she was stuck...
Doing paperwork.

He had been hiding for far too long. He came to his Village to once more see the place he had abandoned so long ago. He liked the visits, as they usually ment a fight with the guards, it was always fun killing them. He had a itching to visit an old friend. The Mizukage. He traveled untroubled through the halls, looking for her office. Once he found it, he walked in, as if it was his own. He stood with a smirk on his face as he saw the Mizukage dilegently working on her papers. He closed the door behind him and locked it. He took afew steps into the room and said "Long time no see...madam..." he gave a low, mirthless laugh.

Niji recognized the voice. It was her old aprentance.
"Mizukage-Sama." She corrected him as she looked up, glarring slightly.
Memories of him when he was younger flashed through her mind.
It's a pitty too...he had so much potential... She thought as she reached over and grabbed her pipe, lighting it as she took a puff, blowing a dark smoke ring.
His talents...such a waste.
"What brings you back?" She asked as she looked up at him with her bright blue eyes. They used to have a hypnotic effect on the boy...however, since he had been curropted, theit power was useless.
Niji knew it was her duty to kill him one day- he was her pet dog that had broken free.

Although he smiled, his eyes remained souless mirrors, wich didn't have an expression to them. "Well, once I heard you had become Mizukage, I promised myself I would visit you, before I came to take the position for my own..." he said, he remained serious. It was no laughing matter, this was his eventual plan. "So, any chance of a complete surrender and naming of me as Mizukage? There would be alot less blood that way..." he kept his smirk on his face.

Niji didn't bat a lash.
"You know better than that, little Ryo-Kun." She said as she took another puff, standing. "This office is rather suffocating, why don't we take this conversation outside?" she asked.
She sighed a bit as she walked past him, smoothly unlocking the door. She still had her pipe in her hand as she took off her Mizukage hat and robes, laying them on the chair as she adjusted her head bandages.

"Well, I suppose so. Being with the Mizukage herself will make for a great safety net..." he walked past her, heading outside. He knew they were about to fight, or so it seemed. He knew it would come to this. After all, slaughter was unforgivable in any village...he'd have to face not only the Mizukage, but all the nameless faces who were surely going to defend her. He didn't mind. He could handle them all. It would be fun. He smirked as he walked.

Niji walked out into the snowy weather.
"I will not surrender to you. I have a line of succession should something happen to me. Even if I die, the tittle will not be yours." She said plainly. Her people, her village, would not recognize him if he just said he was Mizukage after killing her. He would have to kill ever ninja in the village...
She doubted he could acomplish that- since she had a system worked out to get help from the other Kage. Konoha's ANBU were always willing to assist as well.
"Times have changed Ryo-Kun." She said plainly.

"Well, I think it was worth the shot. But, you know that I will not stop, right? No force will make me give up my goal...I am currently making friends in all the right places...why, not too long ago, I visited Suna. Someone there is offering his help...you will fall, and I will be the cause." He said, as if he were mentioning the weather. As snowflakes fell on him, he had a flashback, to the time when he was a kid, remembering the times he once had. That was all gone. To him the past Rykou had died long ago, along with his parents. "So..." he said "What's restraining you from sicking your ANBU on me? You afraid you are going to hurt me? Don't worry Mizukage-sama, I'm a big boy, and your ANBU can't hold a candle to me. If they could, the entrance to the village wouldn't be lined with corpses...." his smirk hadn't faded yet and his eyes as souless as ever.

"Your an insect I plan to crush with my own hands." She said casualy as she looked at him.
"Don't get so high and mighty, I lowered boarder potral. Those were Jounin- not ANBU." She said as she let her pipe drop to the ground, exhaling alot of smoke.
"We won't fight today since the children are out- but next time the weather gets bad...we will settle this." She said and then looked at him.
"That is, unless you wish to join my ANBU troops. It could be like old times, and I could help you look for your parent's murder..." She knew he would reject the offer, but did so anyway...
So that she would have no regrets. She hated regrets.

His eyes wiedened with a malicious look in them. "You dare mention my parents? Heh..." he could not belive it, she had actually gone that far. "You must be confident in your skills...but of course you are...you are Mizukage. What's stoping me from killing you? At this range, I'd only have to strike once. And you would die, here, before your people. And then I'll kill the rest. Hm...and as for your offer. I have rejected it once, and I shall do so again. You never learn...even in all of your wisdom...you still don't learn. But, who am I to critisize?" A moments silence. "Well...what are you waiting for, if you are to attack do so, I'll let you send the children in before you try to kill me. It only seems fair. We wouldn't want to see another little girl die. But you wouldn't care would you? You saw your sister get killed by your best friend and you didn't lift a finger to avenge her, so don't you say you care. You and I aren't that different you know? Death engulfs our lives. And we do nothing but shed more blood." He smiled again. "Have you ever stoped to think about it? Niji?"

Niji was aware that she had gotten a rise out of him. She looked up, clamly.
"I think about it everyday. I don't believe in revenge, killing Zabuza wouldn't have brought her back. Killing every last cloud nin cannot revive my master. You, have let revenge infect you like a disease." She said and sighed.
"You fight for nothing, do you even know why you kill?" Her usualy warm blue eyes went cold.
"Even though Zabuza killed my sister...I respect him more than you. He did it to acheive his dream, she wasn't strong enough to fight him off. In my mind it is best she died in the exam...atleast she wasn't tortured or dissected. Zabuza followed the law of nature: The strongest wins." She was keeping a calm tone to her voice.
"You can never beat me. I taught you, and I didn't teach you everything I knew. Also, you don't have a reason to fight...I have hundreds. I fight for each person in this village...and if you harm even one of them...you will condem yourself to a slow and painfull death...Ryo-Kun."

Nykita was going for a walk when she saw those two in a stand off position, Nykita walked up to the children '' I sugest you leave, unless you want to end up like most of the people who take the genin exams '' said Nykita, imedetly the children ran off. Nykita merily stood watching silently, she wondered if maybe she should get the Mizukage out of this mess and tell her something needed her signature imedetly.

"You are almost right, Niji...I fight and kill, and it all seems for pointless reasons. But, in fact as you say, revenge has infected me, so much so, that once I killed for the reasons I held, it consumed me. Now I kill to prove as Zabuza did, that I can. It is now a necesity of mine. Blood feeds my life...I know, I am far from human...that was long ago. I am now no better than a mere weapon. But, that bothers me not. I know why I kill. I do it for a purpose. Those people at the gate died so I could enter the Village. Those who I killed in the Sand were in my way. And those I killed long ago, died because they were weak." the smile never left him.

Niji just shook her head.
"Such a petty reason to take a life..." She said and noticed Nykita.
"Is there anything else you wish to tell me, besides that your going to try to kill me?" She said as she furrowed her brow.
She motioned for Nykita to come closer to her- she didn't trust her being out of arms reach with that ghost from her past around.
