The pale man sat idly in front of a dead ninja. That of the Hidden Leaf. His eyes shut respectfully despite whatever he was doing to the man. His fingers working on something that was unseen by human eyes. But to him he was overlooking his memories. Film. A view of their past. A smile crossing his lips as he takes a pair of fine scissors and snips something off. Before he knew it the ninja was moving. Groaning. His eyes a milky white with a animalistic view as he reached up towards the man. Jaw gnashing. "Yet another failure..shame. I was hoping someone with Chakura would have some kind of effect..still the same.." he stands up. His green eyes shooting towards the forest beyond the opening." And it appears I'm not alone..Come out. I know your there." (For Kakashi)

The pale man is met with deathly quiet. Nothing but a brisk gust of wind that traveled through the trees into the clearing, as though the forest’s depths were alive, sighing deeply through its lungs. Kakashi must admit that he’s rather impressed by this unidentified wanderer. It’s not often that anyone can spot him approaching from within the shadows. Did that mean he was a sensor? Was the target intentionally facing the wrong direction to throw off his vantage point? Whichever the case may be, Kakashi had no intention of giving himself away so easily. Not without gathering more intelligence beforehand.

Suddenly, a deep, breath-like voice echoed through the depths, carrying a question upon the wind. It swept through the brush along the forest clearing before the pale man. Forward and through him, slowly. It was then followed by a second question, except this time, it traveled in the other direction. Backward and through him yet again.

“Now, why would I do a thing like that? So I can end up like the shinobi you murdered in cold blood?”

In the cover of darkness, Kakashi observed his target from his vantage point. The tomoe of his Sharingan spun with intense focus, while the rest of his body remained still, but prepared to attack, to kill if need be.

This man appeared from thin air, pale and otherworldly beautiful, like a wraith. How long ago had he been following her? What perplexed the Ryuketsu woman even more was her inability to sense any chakra flowing through him, just vast, cold nothingness. Only dead things ever gave her such a sensation. How very interesting.

He breaks the silence with nefarious laughter, then speaks cryptically of their shared predicament. Although she doesn’t say anything in return, not yet anyway, the woman tilts her head back so that their gazes could meet. Compared to the glimmer of precious emeralds, her eyes were intensely radiant, like fire or molten gold. She observes him all over with a morbid sense of curiosity, mentally annotating everything she could about this mysterious stranger, down to the tiniest details.

It’s only when he cordially introduces himself that her gaze finds its way back to his.
