What happened to your face? (Private/No kill)

Den wondered out of the gates of the village, wondering what he should do today. His pet dragon, Yuudai, was perched on his shoulder as he usually was. The young red scaled dragon looked around, purring softly as the two began to make their way down the road leading from the village. It was the first time he had stepped out of the village since his arrival, being to busy getting accustomed to the giant buildings that constantly surrounded him as well as getting used to his new life.

Den looked a lot older than he had in Kirigakure. He possessed the same, cold blue eyes that he had in his early youth, but now rather than looking about 14 he could easily have been confused for 18. The space time warping abilities of Sanctuary had caused this. Den's much longer black hair fell around his face as he walked, looking around him to see if there was anything interesting. He wore his Lightweight Jounin Gear, which had been refitted so that he could comfortably wear them, as he was much taller than he had been when he originally bought them.

Suzaku, after growing bored of his island off the coast of what was once Kirigakure, decided to wander off, soon appearing on the mainland. Suzaku began to travel after this, his head making squeaking noises whenever he hit a branch or something fell on it. Somehow, he still remembered the way to his home village of Tengakure, and head there to check it out, and spread the word of the duck. He ran for what seemed to be a few hours, soon approaching the village after his little trip. He saw how it had began to grow, most likely the doing of a new Tenkage. Or, it may be because of the end of the Sky and Fire nation tensions. No matter, Suzaku began walking towards the village gates, his robes on and his rubber duck head shining a bright yellow. As he approached the gates, Suzaku saw an oddly familiar face... One that looked like a former Jounin of his village.... He had to get his attention... So, Suzaku walked ever so carefully towards the gate, and patted his head, creating a large squeaking sound.

The sound of the squeaking noise startled Yuudai, whose head quickly turned to look at the origin of that noise, his wing spreading out to make him look bigger. He wasn't used to such noises. He woudl look at the strange rubber duck headed being as Den turned to glance at him.

"Who are you?" Den of course, wouldn't recognize him. How coudl he? With his head now that of a rubber duck, the Mizukage looked nothing like he had while he was still alive. Den walked towards the being, wondering if he had been caught in a genjutsu somehow. He stopped 9 meters away from the... person? The young man's chakra would swirl around the creature, verifying it as real unless he stepped away and was no longer within 10 meters of Den.

Suzaku was surprised to see a little dragon on the shoulder of the man, he hadn't seen such beings in real life, and became a bit startled. As the man asked him the question, Suzaku noticed the voice of the man, how it sounded.... familiar. Suzaku ceased the squeaking, instead pulling out a rubber duck from his robe, and throwing it at the man, saying in a voice that sounded exactly the same as his voice when he was the Mizukage;

"Praise the ducks!"

Suzaku then formed a... smile? Well, it was more like a small smirk on his rubber beak. He would make a thumbs up pose, looking quite odd as the duck was thrown at the man.

Suzaku;

Spoiler:

Den's first thought was that the rubber duck was some for of weapon, yes he was that paranoid. He was so surprised by the projectile however, that he was unable to react as Yuudai jumped through the air, catching the rubber duck in his mouth. His teeth had not fully grown in, so there was no damage done to the rubber duck as the small dragon, now 3 meters in front of den, removed the toy from his mouth using his front claws as he shifted his weight to his hind legs. He inspected the toy curiously, finding it to look quite amusing.

Den wasn't paying attention to the dragon, hearing the familiar voice coming from the duck, "Suzaku?" to say he was surprised to hear that voice was an understatement, especially coming from the strange creature in front of him. "What happened to you?"

Suzaku looked at the man in surprise, how could the man have known his name!? Suzaku watched as the dragon played with the rubber duck, amused at how such a intimidating creature could be so cute.... However, Suzaku's mind was still racing. How did this man know him, and where did he know him from? Speaking again, Suzaku asked a very serious question;

"Umm, I'm sorry, but who are you?"

Suzaku rubbed his duck head, trying to remember who this person was. He seemed so familiar, but just so different.... He knew that if the man informed him of who he was, Suzaku would remember the man.. Or at least, try to remember.

Den wondered if he had been mistaken, there was no way this creature in front of him could be Suzaku. Still, he decided to at least give the man with a rubber duck head and answer, "I'm Denkiteki, currently a Jounin of Tengakure." He would then continue to look at the man curiously as he waited for him to give a response, could something have happened to Suzaku to put him in a form like this? No, he surly had been killed with the rest of Kirigakure.

All the while Den's dragon would continue to play with the rubber duck, now making it squeak in his hands. Yuudai purred loudly as he did so, his curiosity and playfulness taking over completely now. He looked up towards Suzaku's head, wondering what would happen if he would try and make that squeak too.

Suzaku thought for a moment, until it hit him..... Yes! He knew this man! Smiling in victory, Suzaku pulled out another rubber duck and began to squeak it, throwing it in the air after the little victory squeak. Looking at Denkiteki, Suzaku wondered what he would say... A lot had happened, and it would be very hard to explain it all.... But, he would try his best. Suzaku then spoke after a few moments of silence.

"Oh yes! I know you! Glad to see you made it out alive! If I may ask, who else made it out alive? I'd like to know before I start explaining..."

Suzaku looked at the dragon, noticing the fun it was having.... And how it was looking at his head.... He nodded a 'No' at the dragon, signaling that he didn't want his head being torn off....

Den wasn't sure how to answer that question.

"I know, a few survivors managed to make their way here. When I joined, it didn't surprise them when I said I got out of Kiri. But a lot of people didn't make it. I know that Attuu Uzumaki, that Kaguya that destroyed the training fields, and a majority of the rest of the village." Den had rarely talked about the events of Kiri, feel guilt threaten to consume him every time he thought about it, "I wish I could have been there when it happened, maybe I could have done something." for a moment he forgot about the fact that Suzaku was right in front of him, unless he was hallucinating that is, as he remembered finding out that the entire island was gone.

But he managed to pull himself together quickly enough, and waited for Suzaku to explain how he was alive.

Suzaku laughed for a moment, knowing that no one could have saved Kiri, unless the person was Viper Uchiha or the Sage of Six Paths himself. He nodded, not surprised that not many survived the assault. He thought for a moment, recollecting the memories of what had happened to him. He remembered his death vividly, but couldn't really explain how he was there still. But, he would try his best, and began explaining.

"Well... I'm not surprised... And you couldn't have really done much, because of the power the attackers had... Anyway, let me start. It began when I was travelling to Konohagakure to settle peace negotiations, everything went smoothly, as I had my anbu guards with me. But, suddenly, I heard a snap and a stab, and my anbu men were nowhere in sight. I became frightened, when I heard a whipping noise and a sharp pain in my neck. I fell to the ground, and appeared in my sub-conscious with the Sanbi. It explained that I was about to die, and it would spring to life at that moment. And then, I blacked out, and the Sanbi broke free. And from what I know, it was pretty destructive until someone got a hold of it, and used it to destroy Kiri.... Anyway, I was in a cold, dark place for quite a while until a light shined, and I was alive again... But uh, somehow I had this head, and these robes. And the urge to make everyone I meet believe in duck gods..... So uh, yeah. That's the story."

Suzaku looked at Den, not een sure he would believe his story, as it sounded very.... non-realistic. But then again, in a world where there can be giant demons living in your stomach, the story isn't that far fetched.
