Yuudai glanced around the halls a little as they walked, intrigued by the layout of the building. It felt bigger than he remember, though the last time he was here was years ago. Still, it felt inviting in a way, calm, peaceful. Yuudai would hate to be in the building during times of war, but for the moment, the hollow halls seemed to welcome him, to invite him in. Odd, considering he was here only as an escort, and would surely witness Kai requesting to punish him.
He began to fumble with his mask a little, it never seemed to fit quite right after he removed it. It would take him some time to find just that perfect spot once again. Part of him wished he had never removed it, more for his own personal comfort, but he was mostly glad that he did. He had no shame in his scars, and he was sure Hae would understand. Besides, he didn’t want her to worry about him and his punishment, and he figured that was the best way to do that.
Yuudai stood next to Hae as Kai knocked on the door, patiently awaiting to go it.

“It would be my pleasure to continue accompanying you,” replied Yuudai to Hae, ignoring the mention of his punishment. He would be lying if he said he wasn’t at all pleased with these turn of events. Sure, he was getting punished if things worked out like there were suppose too, but that could wait. “And I promise, I can take the punishment. Remember my chakra almost consumed me as a child, and if I could survive that, then I can survive a punishment,” added Yuudai, trying to be comforting. He doubted it worked, so he removed his mask a little in an attempt to flash Hae a smile. There was no doubt that some of his face had take damage in his birth, with scaring appearing in several places. However, much was his face appeared almost untouched, due impart to medical ninjutsu and his seals.
It had been awhile since Yuudai had been to the Hokage’s office, as he got most of his missions through his group leader. It would have been her first arrival when he had last seen her, and even then he didn’t talk to her. Yuudai did want to meet the Hokage, at least set up some sort of understanding between him and her so she could understand his meditations and such… and why he kept going missing for days after missions. Yuudai had been told that talk had been taken care of, but he was never too sure with his sensei. It wouldn’t hurt to confirm.
Yuudai glanced over to the Jounin, readjusting his mask to make sure it was covering his face once more. “Do you want to lead the way,? or should I?” he asked.

Punishment huh? Yuudai wasn’t really worried by punishment. If they wanted him to clean up or do some other manual labor, he would just view it as another one of his walks. If they wanted to inflict pain, Yuudai knew he had survived worse. Yes, it wouldn’t be fun, but he would make it through, and only be stronger for it. If anything, Yuudai viewed this punishment threat as a growing experience. The only question was on whether Kai would be the one administrating the punishment. If his team leader insisted on doing the punishment himself, in which case Yuudai wouldn’t get much of a punishment.
The dismissal, however, did annoy Yuudai a little. He didn’t make a move to fight it, it was the Jounin’s right to dismiss him as he so pleased. Yuudai figured he would just go home and eat, incase he was in store for some kind of solitary confinement. He doubted it, that would be a crazy harsh punishment, but he might as well, just incase.
Yuudai looked over at Hae, noting that she took the news kind of hard, at least, in his eyes. “Of course, after my punishment, I would be glad to meet you for some lunch… or dinner, pending on the time,” he replied. He assumed it would only be one day of punishment, though if it ended up as more, he would be more than glad to reschedule. After all, what was the worth they could do to him?
Yuudai then turned towards Kai, and gave him a little bow. Whether or not the Jounin had any form of tolerance left towards Yuudai, it didn’t matter, Yuudai held no ill will towards him. “I shall await my punishment tomorrow. I shall see you then.” Yuudai turned to walk back towards his house, but overheard Hae’s asking if Yuudai could come along. He staid still as he waited for an answer.

Yuudai didn’t back down from the bigger man barking at him, he didn’t even move as if he acknowledge Kai’s anger. This entire conversation was sort of out of character for Yuudai, who in almost any other situation, would have backed down, put it up to a matter of disagreeing. Here though, he needed to do something, anything to save their tails. “You might want to try some of those night walks. They are quite lovely, and really let you clear your head of pent up anger. There is nothing quite like a walk out in the forest at night,” replied Yuudai, sounding as calm and respectful as he could. He then added, “However, I like to point out that that you tired to have us meet with the Hokage when we didn’t need too. Maybe both of us need to brush up on how things work around here.” He tried with every fiber of his being for that not to sound like a smart ass, but he knew it probably came off a little like that. Somewhat of a shame, since despite all that was said so far, he didn’t have an ill towards the Jounin.
“On the contrary, isn’t it the lowest of the low’s job to question their superiors? After all, how will they know if they are following a leader they agree with?” Yuudai continued, half to himself. “Of course, then you can get immoral people questioning good leaders, and agreeing with evil ones. Then there is the risk of nothing ever getting done. Where do we draw the line on this? Is it on affairs like this? Or bigger things? Or even smaller? I am not quite sure anyone knows the answer to that,” Yuudai finished thoughtfully. The affect he was hoping for was twofold. He was hoping that maybe everyone would calm down a little by his softer words, and maybe deflect some of the conversation away from the passport.
However, this was apparently unnecessary, as Hae produced her letter. Yuudai would be lying if he said he wasn’t slightly annoyed by this turn of events. He had asked her to tell him everything, and even then she had kept things from him. He doubted she was lying to Kai, and he was hoping it would get them out of this mess, but he still felt like she should have told him. Then again, maybe she just didn’t know. There was plenty of time to use it before, and it probably would have been far more effective then. However, he had no time to think about this, as he noticed Kai’s hand. “Relax,” he mentioned, “if we were looking to fight you, we would have long since attacked you.”

“It has nothing to do with a respect of rules, it is the willingness to sell out those around you, though I am sure you would argue the two are one in the same,” replied Yuudai, not to bothered in being caught in what he was sure Kai saw as hypocritical. Yuudai always find himself on the weird side of moral questions, and this was no exception. How else could he explain his acceptance of the consuming of meat, while simultaneously disapproving of the use of animals? Besides, if he went further down this road, he knew it would end up in the argument of what happens when two sides think they are absolutely right. It would be pointless, those before them could only answer with fighting and war, and that would end poorly for everyone.
Yuudai stifled a scoff at the mention of needing to clear passports through the Hokage. It would be completely unnecessary if it was true, those close to the Hokage were notified the second anyone entered the village, as well as a team being sent to intercept them. Orochimaru’s invasion bypassed that somehow. Even the Yodaime was fooled until the invasion started, it wouldn’t have made a difference if he were to meet with those involved or not. “I am afraid I don’t believe you there. Those kind of security measures would be unnecessary, as the Hokage should already be alerted of any… visitors,” he responded. Yuudai was careful in his language, as he had no problem talking about the barrier, but talking so opening about it to a Hae in front of Kai could only lead to trouble.
“And she has no need to show her passport. The Hokage would have known if we forced our way through the gates and already had us stopped. Clearly we went through the front gates, which means she would have had to have a passport. Asking to see one now would be foolish and an invasion of privacy. If you really wish to know if she passed through without trouble, you may check with the guards,” replied Yuudai to the question of her passport.
Suddenly, an idea dawned upon Yuudai, almost filling him with glee. “If you wish, we could wait for you in the Konoha library, I am sure my guest would love to read up on village history,” Yuudai added. Kai really had no ground to stand on here, as the library was open to ninjas, and was within the walls of the Hokage Mountain. Yes, his intentions were clear, but couldn’t truly be refused.

Yuudai noted Kai’s speed as he . He was fast, Yuudai could give him that, but he didn’t expect any less from a Jounin. He didn’t let the older, more experienced ninja’s demeanor bother him at all, he was more confident than that. By the end of this, there would be no trouble, and Hae would get to see the top of Hokage mountain, he just knew it.
“On the contrary,” Yuudai began his reply quickly and smoothly, “it much better to view this city from at night. Only then can you see the windows light up like candles and study the beautiful architecture without it getting lost in the crowds of people. And I have heard if you can catch that magical moment of sunrise, well, that there is nothing more beautiful in the entire Land of Fire.” Yuudai stifled a cough as Kai tried to extort money from them. Was he for real? If anyone was the traitor here, it was clearly him. The mere fact that he would let something go for a little money… he had to be faking. There is no way the Hokage would keep have him be a Jounin otherwise. “I believe your tax is what they call extortion, and I am sure the Hokage doesn’t look to kindly towards that. In fact, I am sure none of the other Jounin would like someone of supposedly higher standings to stoop to levels so low. Why, I know dogs with more honor.”
“Indeed, I don’t recall having to drag guest to Lady Tsunade in order to show them around. That would be just plain silly. All she would need is a passport, and since she clearly is here, she clearly must have one. Therefore, she has done nothing wrong by not informing you or anyone of her present,” Yuudai followed Hae’s point of not knowing she had to report to the Godaime Hokage. As far as he knew, she didn’t. Besides, what threat did Hidden in Star pose? They were a tiny village from what Yuudai was told, they weren’t going to be staging some kind of attack. That would be paranoid.
Yuudai could tell Hae’s uneasiness about Kei, and he couldn’t blame her. However, it was much more important that she wasn’t provoked into anything, as that would immediately remove any slight leverage he had. If she blurted out her lack of passport, or that the guards had let her in because they trusted Yuudai’s judgment, then Yuudai and Hae were going to be in trouble. He glanced towards her, nervous looks thankfully hidden by his mask. No need to draw any unnecessary suspicion.

Yuudai glanced up at the, as he perceived, disapproving Kai, unfazed by the calm tone, the piercing eyes, the mocking language. Though Yuudai knew of him, he had minimal interaction with Kai, for various reasons. Still, there was no bad blood between the two, at least, none that Yuudai knew of. The blue eyes stared at Kai from behind the mask, hiding the stone cold face. Yuudai gave him a little shrug, almost as if he disregarded every word uttered from Kai’s lips. “She wanted to see the village, and up the mountain is the best vantage point. It is kind of nice too, you can pull yourself away from the craziness of the city from up there.”
“It isn’t like I haven’t been up there before,” he added, “I know my way around, and know what I shouldn’t show her.” Yuudai glanced over as Hae’s chakra flared up, noting the purple color. “And she is from Hidden in Star, an ally of ours. I believe this makes it harmless to show her anything that isn’t a village secret,” continued Yuudai. “And if you don’t believe me about her origin, just look at her chakra, clearing a Hidden in Star signature,” he said, pointing at her. He didn’t know this to be matter of fact, but he was banking on either Kai knowing this to be fact, or for him to have no idea on whether it was.
Yuudai then turned for Kai abruptly, almost nonchalantly, taking a few steps along the path. He glanced back a little as he walked. “In the end, I doubt your are going to stop us Kai. You know I wouldn’t dare do anything to harm this village,” said Yuudai, before he paused a bit. “However, if you are truly so worried about something bad happening, you are more than welcome to accompany us.,” finished Yuudai, before he looked back at Hae, signaling for her to follow him.

Yuudai chuckled to himself as Hae talked about not wanting to disrespect his family. He knew they wouldn’t mind… at least, not that much. Still, he bit his tongue, if she wanted to wait till they reached his house, he would be more than glad to wait. It wouldn’t harm him.
Yuudai looked back up at the stone heads of the Hokage Mountain. The beautiful, lifeless eyes straight back at him. He hoped they would forgive him for resting on top of their heads. Yes, he had done it before, but now that he was looking at them, staring at them, they seemed sad.
“We will head straight, go around the administration building, and walk the mountain path,” replied Yuudai, “it is going to be some work, but trust me, it is worth it. The view is quite amazing.” If they stayed up their long enough, Yuudai knew they may be able to catch the sun rise. He hadn’t seen that himself, and was somewhat eager to attempt to see that.

“That is where we are going,” replied Yuudai, “it is called Hokage Mountain, a massive monument to the five Hokages. You said you want to see everything you could tonight. Well, you can see just about everything from up there. It is quite amazing.” He neglected to mention the not being allowed up there part, she didn’t need to know about that. Besides, it wasn’t like there were a lot of guards, even Naruto got up there once.
He chuckled a little at her stomach growling, knowing he had made her go a long time without food. “But we can stop for a bite if you want,” he added, “my treat.” His family probably wouldn’t mind if she didn’t eat a lot of their food, they were understanding.

Yuudai nodded as he glanced over at the restaurants. He rarely noticed the variety, but he was so used to having the options, that he didn’t truly noticed. Besides, he didn’t go out to eat all that often. “Indeed, although to be honest, I haven’t really tried everywhere. Too busy most of the time, so I just end up eating at home,” replied Yuudai. The old standby for him, just having his family cook something… he should really learn to do that one day, didn’t want to end up living in his family’s attic. That would be incredibly depressing.
((Sorry for taking so long, and for the really short post, crap kept coming up, and I just really wanted to get something up here... so yeah))

“I do have a place I want to show you, but it is kind of a walk. So if you see anything you would like to stop and look at, feel free to let me know,” Yuudai told her as he began the walk to Hokage mountain. He couldn’t just have her go run off by herself, but he wanted to give her as much freedom as he could. She wasn’t a prisoner, and he doubt she would do anything to get him in trouble, but still, he couldn’t risk it. He felt somewhat bad as he heard her sigh, but made no move to respond to it.
He walked along the most known path to him, with there being a park, a ramen shop, a training ground or two, the ninja academy, and of course, the Hokage building along the way. He walked silently, glancing back every now and then to make sure Hae was still with him.

Yuudai nodded, knowing where to take her first. Hokage Mountain. The now five headed mountain was a masterpiece, and a true tribute to leaders of Kohona. Also, from the top of it, you could get a good view of the entire city… if you could sneak up there. Most of the time it wasn’t encouraged, but Yuudai had been up their before, for reflecting purposes. It was however, quite a walk away, so Yuudai figured they could stop at several places along the way. She could decide upon where they stopped in particular, there would be plenty along the way.
Yuudai hopped off the edge of the roof, landing silently on the ground below. He waited for hae to follow suit, wanting to make sure he wasn’t leaving her behind.

Split personalities huh. That could be a problem, but it would be a path Yuudai would cross when it was shown to him. For now, at least he had the truth. He was content with that. He effortlessly followed Hae onto the roof top, grazing out at his home. He could see why there were those who thought of it as simply beautiful, why tales were woven about the forests surrounding his village, how epicly it was displayed in paintings by the artist within it. However, to him, it was nothing more than his home. Perhaps he was spoiled by his beauty, but it just didn’t seem to move him the way it did others. Still, watching the expression up Hae’s face made him feel at least a little proud of his village.
“Come,” he spoke softly, not wanting to sound forceful, “I’ll show you around.”
