Quieted Demon

[Hebi Akki]

<sup>Hebi walked slowly, he moved through the town like a snake does through a hole in the ground, weaving this way and that. He smiled coldly as he glanced around, he had no reason for wandering at the moment, not even just for warmth. He turned and looked down into his pockets, his bare chest pale as the day he'd escaped from the montrous confides of his old village. a village that no longer existed. The boy, now fully thirteen, looked about slowly, a headband on his neck signified that he was in fact, a genin. A cloud genin. He looked up and down the streets.

A soft, almost velvet feel came up his body, his torso, then to his shoulders, he smiled, "Ohayo, Keisei-chan." He told the snake as she wound her way up his body and around his neck, the almost albino snake hissed softly and nosed the male gently on the cheek. She flicked out her tongue and looked around them. Bands of deep purple and navy-blue were seen, spread evenly along the nine-feet of the snake. Hebi smiled gently and stroked the snake's smooth head, he smiled and went on walking. Not a care in the world.</sup>

[Hiraishin]

Hiraishin was on his usual early morning walk around the village, when he spotted the young Genin. He smiles, realizing he hadn't seen this one around much before. "Hello, you! The Genin with the snake!" He says to said Genin, walking up to him. "What are you doing out this early."

[Hebi Akki]

<sup>Hebi and Keisei turned to reguard the man as he walked briskly towards them. They shared a look, which basically said, Loser... and looked back at the man, they heard what he said quite easily and Hebi frowned, the snake coiled on his neck, seemingly of her own doing. Hebi looked at the man, he sighed softly and looked at the older ninja, trying to place just who he was, and what the hell he'd want with Hebi.

Hebi, in turn, raised his own hand, he placed the other hand on the snake, she hissed softly and un-coiled at the touch of his hand on her scaled hide. Hebi spoke softly, "What, is it a crime to be out early?" He asked angrily, already starting to hate this man, "But for your information, I happen to be walking. Nothing wrong with that, is there?" He hissed softly.</sup>

[Hiraishin]

The Raikage laughs slightly at this. "Haha, not at all. In fact, that is exactly what I'm doing." Hiraishin states, still smiling crazily. He looks at the young Genin for a moment, as if trying to figure something out. "AH! So then you're that Genin that just entered our village not that long ago, right? Hebi, was it?" The Raikage asks, remembering him from the many stacks of paperwork he had to fill out every day.

[Hebi Akki]

<sup>Hebi looked at the man, how could he laugh so? Hebi frowned again and sighed softly, then looked at the man, he was very strange, Keisei curled around his neck and down one arm, looking up to judge whether this man was a threat or not to her beloved Hebi. She hissed softly, blue tongue flicked out and in with little care in the world.

Hebi noded his head, starting to get an idea of who this man was, "Hai, that's right. I just transfered her, my own village was destroyed." He said softly, with a soft laugh. He'd destroyed it, with little care, no one there had thought of him any more than an experiment. So he'd destroyed it. He looked at the man, "Akki Hebi, Cloud Genin." He said with a slight bow. Purple hair fell over his face as he bowed.</sup>

[Hiraishin]

"Right, yeah, I thought so. Hiraishin, Raikage, at your service." The Raikage says, returning Hebi's bow. "So do you not have a three man team yet? Or are you just trying to stay away from your team?" The Raikage asks, still smiling.

[Hebi Akki]

<sup>Hebi watched the man with his light magenta eyes. He looked at the snake, who was curled around his arm still, he smiled slowly and looked at the Raikage. He could have cared less who this man was, he didn't like any one any how. His purple hair was tucked behind his shoulders as he lifted a pale hand and gently swished it back. He closed his eyes a moment, then opened them, ready to answer the Raikaze's questions.

"I have no Team as of yet, Hiraishin-sama." He said with a slow shrug, he really didn't care what the Raikage thought of him, so he looked away for a few moments, eyes blinked slowly. Keisei nudged him with her white snout, she flicked a tongue over his pale skin. "I know dear, I forgot all about you." He said softly, almost a hiss, his hand trailed along her smooth body as he stroked her gently, the large snake hissed again; then fell silent. Hebi looked at Hiraishin. He opened his mouth and talked softly, "This is Keisei-chan." He said to the man, eyes watched the Raikage's eyes for any sign of change.</sup>

[Hiraishin]

"Heh, don't show her off around Konoha, they might think you're one of Orochimaru's men!" The Raikage says, laughing quietly. "Anyways, I'll see what I can do about finding you a team so that you can become a Chuunin before you're as old as me!" He continues, laughing a good bit louder.
(You might be wandering how in heck Hiraishin became Raikage right now, huh? )

[Hebi Akki]

<sup>ooc|| The thought crossed my mind....

ic||

Hebi looked at the Raikage, his steely magenta eyes narrowed in anger, the snake hissed softly around his neck, her coils twined about his neck and arms. His purple hair flicked upwards slightly. Hebi closed his eyes and snorted softly, he turned from the man who angered him so. He sighed softly and waved a care-free hand towards the man, "Whatever." He said, "If having a snake around my neck is enough to send those nin into a panic, then so be it." He said with a slow shrugg. Keisei curled around his neck, relaxing as her breathen's temper cooled.</sup>

[Hiraishin]

"No offense meant!" Hiraishin says, a sweatdrop rolling down the side of his face. Still, please do not speak so about the village hidden in the leaves. We are still rather at odds with them, and I would much prefer it not be so." The Raikage says, a sudden serious look coming over his face.

[Hebi Akki]

<sup>Hebi scowled, he looked at the Raikage and frowned, his eyes glared off into the distance, into the are he supposed was the direction of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. He scowled and sighed angrily, Keisei curled slowly around his neck, then down his torso and into his pocket. The boy made no comment to the snake.

He looked back at the Raikage, eyes flashing angrily, "Why should we be scared of them?" He hissed, " Why should we seek to apease them?" He angrily said, "We owe them nothing, it is not as if we are avidly trying to destroy them!" He said bitterly now, "Is it just because we are smaller, an that they have shinobi like Hatake Kakashi, and Hokage Tsunade?!" He angrily demanded.</sup>

[Hiraishin]

"...It is not like that." The Raikage says simply, shrugging. "In any event, I would rather have them as allies then enemies, wouldn't you?" Hiraishin continues, smiling again.
(Hey, would you like special training under Hiraishin? Obviously I can't be your official sensei, but I can still train you one on one.)

[Hebi Akki]

<sup>ooc|| I think Hebi would enjoy that ^^ Since we don't have any other Cloud jounin (Or any other Cloud nin for that matter O.o).

ic||

Hebi snorted, "Maybe." He muttered softly, then looked at the Raikage, he wondered how a man so...so cheerful, could ever have obtained that position of honor. He huffed softly and turned slowly, looking over his shoulder. The sun felt good on his cold skin, he lifted his face and basked silently, not uttering another comment to Hiraishin. He instead just felt the sun as it warmed his cold skin, his body become more limber and flexible, and more...more alive.</sup>

[Hiraishin]

(Yeah, I'm trying to fix that. No luck so far, though.)
Hiraishin smiles, snaping his fingers, as if thinking of some thing. Hey, I just had a great idea! We seem to have no avalible Jounin right now, so how about, for now at least, I train you?" Then Raikage asks, an insanly large smile on his face.
