Lilacs and Thistle and Burdock - Oh, My! (Misheru)

[Zetsu]

In the dimming evening air, a large flytrap that was obviously not native to Mizu no Kuni. Its broad, vein-covered leaves opened very slightly to reveal a glowing golden eye that reflected the setting sun. "She's not here..."

"I came all the way out here on his orders, and if this is a goose chase..." A heavy sigh carried through the damp air, and the flytrap closed once again and wriggled before sinking back into the earth from whence it came. In a matter of seconds, the flytrap man was zipping through the water veins in the soft soil of the islands, and he took care to stay as far away as possible from the crust that gave way to the ocean; though he was perfectly capable of navigating through the salty waters, but he didn't want to risk accidentally traveling to another island before he had completed scouring the current island for any traces of the femme that he was tracking.

Why do I have to chase after this little girl anyways? It's none of my business what she does...

Maybe not, but Leader-sama does want to see what she is capable of. Maybe she would be a nice addition to the Akatsuki.

Or maybe she would just get in the way. Like that annoying brat, Tobi.

Tobi is a good boy. He hasn't done any harm to us; in fact, he isn't always like that.

Maybe. I like him better when he gets down to work and actually tries to be what he really is rather than putting up that front like he doesn't care about his hand in all of this. I'm just glad that he's not with us today.

Hmm... Maybe.

The man stopped once again and lifted himself through the veins until he shimmied his physical body through the surface of a tall, strong tree so that he stuck out at a queer angle. The protective covering opened to reveal the glimmering eye again, and as soon as it caught a curious image, the trap opened wider to reveal his true body, which wasn't in the least attractive... or at least, so he thought. Zetsu never did like his appearance, especially since the murder had fused himself with the young albino.

[Oyamada Misheru]

Misheru was a bit annoyed at the moment, tho she didn't let it show that she was. She hated going on boarder duty, it was one thing that she felt wasted time and resources, they was on a freaking island for crying out loud, not many shinobi would travel here just to cause trouble not after the rumors of the academy exam that was. Sure the village was well Hidden and most of the ninja from the place knew how to find it on the spot but still roaming the island just seemed a bit pointless.

She was walking through one of the forest parts, a part that she knew like the back of her hand for the most part. She normally could be found out here when she was bored of the village or just didn't want to be found for the most part. She did like it out here it was like the only place in the Land of Mist that really captured true beauty for Misheru. Her eyes roamed the area and she let out a sigh slightly until something caught her out of the corner of her eye.

Her left hand went to the handle of her katana on her back, she was rather short for a shinobi, almost looked like a Genin for the most part. Her eyes narrowed has she drew closer to the movement. Her blond hair, messy has it usually was, fell in front of her face, has the black skirt she was wearing pushed against the grass and flowers that was close to the ground.

Of all days, she had to be the one that would be sent out here and come across something, now this day was turning into a headache that Misheru rather not have to deal with at the moment. She took a deep breather has she drew near. There was no reason to attack just yet, she wasn't even sure who the hell was there or what their purpose was, unknown to her, so there was a chance that the person was just lost at the moment. She was slowly praying for that at the moment. ”Alright, who is trespassing in the Land of Mist?” Her hand was still on the handle of her katana.

[Zetsu]

Zetsu had just began breathing in the scents of wildflowers and fresh soil that had become quite familiar to him as he traveled within the Earth's crust when he was halted in his well-deserved moment of relaxation. Someone had entered the area; he could tell from the alien smell that wafted to him along with the salty air from the sea.

"Come on... We just got here, and we already have to leave?"

"We can't be seen."

"Yes... If I am seen, then the presence of the Akatsuki in Kirigakure will be known, and Leader-sama will be mad."

Now knowing what he had to do, Zetsu began closing the large flytrap again when he heard the shuffling of feet stopped him in his tracks. That "someone" had found him and called out. Well... there was nothing he could do now other than stay as still as possible and wait it out, hoping that the shinobi would somehow bypass the enormous, entirely nonnative half-Venus flytrap that poked curiously from the trunk of the old tree.

[Oyamada Misheru]

Misheru herself was slightly disappointed in the lack of response that she got. She was kinda hoping for a fight because it would brighten up the day to start with. It had been a while since she had gotten into a fight and she was a little bit over eager for one at the moment. Well that was the Kirigakure's ninja was trained for to fight and kill right? In her mind set it was slice and dice than ask questions, so now the person that was here in the Mist had no other option but to face her in the long run. She just hoped that the person gave up a bit more of a fight than her last fight she got into.

Her brown eyes scanned the area, she knew this area like the back of her hand, she walked it and knew what flowers and plant like that was out in the forest that was around the village. She turned slightly has the nonnative venus flytrap came into her view. She smirked slightly, she might look the part of a simple Genin due to her size, but there was just an overlook that most people gave her. Her hand that was on her katana tighten at the moment. She turned slightly to her left and moved closer. The rose on her shirt was now in view at the moment.

She walked closer to the trap and quickly pulled out her katana and held it to just about under the end of the opening part of the venus fly trap. She was serious at the moment but there was a hit of playfulness that was in her eyes that she normally didn't let out. She took a deep breath to make sure the thing what ever it was in front of her knew that she was here at the moment and was not going away. She would play instead of chopping this plant up like it should be at the moment. She couldn't denial that she was curious at the moment what she was looking at the moment. ”I believe that I asked you a question. Wanna answer now?”
