I Exist to Piss You Off (Kozai)

You know those jitters you sometimes get just before you post something and you just KNOW that Youka's going to destroy and deny it? Well, that was Makussu right now, except he had no knowledge about the fact that his entire life was an rpg. After asking around what he now knew to be Iwa he had figured out quickly enough where the leaders office was, but quickly was stopped by one of the most dreaded things in the entire world. Secretaries and their unholy stares. Walking up to the person in question he would steel himself before requesting entry. "Um...hi. I'm Makussu Koutaishi and I have a message from a man named Youka to Kozai Yuki. Could I be let in please?" Damn, he was getting uncomfortable. If Youka was that bad, then what were his friends like?

At that moment, Kozai was actually using the transformation technique to disguise himself as an elderly janitor with striped overalls and a striped blue cap. As a matter of fact, he was the exact image of the average, minimum-wage worker. Of course, only the secretaries would know it was him, not even Agito knew of this disguise. To that effect, he would, of course, be cloaking his chakra to that of a normal elderly civilian, making him easily indistinguishable from the rest of the Iwa rabble. As the boy posed his query to his rather frosty secretary, Kozai would be placing his broom into a broom bucket in a corner behind the boy, and would clear his throat. 
"Well, young man, the leader is out right now, but I know where he is. If'ya wanna meet 'im, ya gotta come wi' me. Yonder secretary can verify that I's trustworthy." 
This, of course, was said loudly enough for even the secretary to hear. Kozai hoped. Just who exactly was this boy, and for what purpose had he come?

So apparently this secretary simply hated him, as there was no way that aroma could feel this cold from a state. It was SO obvious that she was slowly turning down the god forsaken thermostat it wasn't even frightening anymore, I mean really, wouldn't you get fired for freezing out everybody in the building? He he thought these thoughts heard a little thunk like a broom being put against a wall and soon he had found that he was being spoken to by the incarnate of the old pedophile janitor. Well, ain't that just great? Looking at the secretary for confirmation of the strange man's identity, he would turn back towards him. "Uh....ok. Sure, I'll come with you sir." It seems that already he was being dragged back and forth between places already. So this was the life of a missing-nin?

With a tip of his cap and an appreciative smile, Kozai would lead the man out of the office building and out into the street. This was a pretty calm day, and most people were in their homes relaxing rather than working or taking ganders to obscure locations. Kozai would take a left turn, heading toward a path to his old favorite mountain hot spring. Oh, it had been ages since he had gone there... As he walked (assuming that the boy was following him), his chakra would begin to grow, and his form begin to waver, as his appearance grew younger and his janitor's uniform changed into his signature lab coat. As the reached the foot of the mountain,  he would look at the boy with a mischevious grin on his face. 
"So, boy... how is my old friend Youka? And how did you meet him? I'm always eager to meet new people..."
Of course, he could always read the boy's mind to find the truth... yes, he would probably end up doing that soon. It would make things easier.

Of course at the beckoning of the creepy janitor he had followed him back out into the streets of Iwa, not like he could do much otherwise. He moved around the streets of people, making use that he didn't get lost, until he eventually reached the base of a rather nice looking hot spring. Strange thing was, the creepy janitor had turned into some sort of mad scientist looking guy. Well shit, here we go. Apparently he had found Kozai by the way he spoke of Youka. "Well Mr.Kozai I'm assuming, Youka's been good, of you call what he does normally ok. Kidnapping children, stabbing people, teleporting...yeah pretty much all that in a nutshell. As for meeting him, well I couldn't just let my team get taken can I?," yes it was a mouthful, but this guy was looking for a pretty wordy answer. "Oh, by the way he's coming around here for a meeting soon."

All very interesting indeed, but probably all a lie. Or if it wasn't this boy was one of those mushy types who "would do anything for his team", ad nauseam. No, he needed to observe this boy's memories... he would turn, and at maximum speed, grasp the boys head with his left hand in order to activate the mind reading technique. If the boy struggled, Kozai would increase the strength of his grasp to cause pain and prevent him from escaping . At the same time, he would be on guard for any false moves.
"Dont worry, boy... I'm just ... verifying your claims."
Hmm... so the boy was from Konoha. How interesting indeed. Of course, his friends/team didn't seem of much value to Kozai... but he would have to look at that later. However, for the moment, it seemed that Kozai had the information he needed. Assuming that things had gone smoothly, he would release the boy, giving him an amused smirk.

Okay....so Kozai was one of those touchy feely kind of people, seeing the way that he was groping his head right now. Wait, is it even possible to grope a head? Of course he hasn't struggled, seeing as people that Youka knew tended to get violent when angry and start chopping genitalia at random. Ok seriously, what was being gained from just standing here while some man STILL had his hand on his head? Eventually being released from the grasp of Kozai he decided to ignore the creepy smirk of Kozai because to be honest he had other missions to get to, wether he like it or not. "Yeah well....thanks for hearing me out but I have to go. Places to see, people to meet and such. Oh, and the missions that I have to do if youka isn't going to kill me later. So I'm just going to say goodbye now. Summoning Jutsu!" By the point he had spoken about leaving, he would have flipped the rings switchblade and drawn blood, allowing him to summon Aoi onto the mountain base. Mounting him silently, the duo would take off into the distance as he waved back in a common courtesy kind of sense.

Well, that was that. Kozai briefly entertained the idea of shooting down the bird, but he realized that he would have to treat Youka's couriers with a little more caution. The boy didn't seem to strong, though. He would wave back cheerily as the boy sailed away on his birdie. Well, time to get back to work... and to get ready for a visit. He wondered what Youka wanted with him now... it had been so long, or it seemed.
