the spectrum (yen, risako, private)

Yen kicked back along one of the roof tops napping as he reflected off of salzem and his decision to leave. Yen ultimately decided to avoid the.ensuring conflict as to prevent damage yet it was unusual setting the path of another as they  May have disired otherwise to go off alone yen knew better then most that unless he decided too he might've had a chance to subdue Sal yet it was far less then that. Yen respected a will to move forward despite the path and understood that even if he was suscessful his actions would only cage the individual. What better then to let the bird be free? That was his final solution to the deal as his own plans needed to be set in motion as well.

It was on this day that yen rested up all the while awaiting the arrival of risako whine he sent a message  to her with simple words as it was necessary. "Find me"  leaving yen time to nap and enjoy the rays sometime as he considered what to bring up in that case. The afternoon was nearing as he considered time to write a few follow up notes necessary for his research.

Risako woke up, picked a note up off of her floor and opened it up. "Find me," was what the note said, from a Mr. Yensung Abu- Holy shit. She hadn't seen Yen in at least a month or so, so this sudden request was random. Closing her eyes, she focused on pinpointing Yen's chakra, after all, before the sudden and abrupt month where they didn't have contact, she spent more than enough time around him to know what his chakra felt like. With his location set, she left her apartment and started jogging to him. 

It took her a few minutes, but she found him, sitting on a rock, just soaking up the rays. Surely, he didn't just want to hang out. But she'd totally understand if he did, she was the manliest ninja in Konoha after all, rolling in both the money and the womenz. 

Back to being semi serious, she walked up to the napping Yen, and said "What'd you need?" In a somewhat puzzled tone, displaying her subtle shock that he requested an audience with her.

Yen lifted his straw hat off his eyes and noted risako standing not far. you have made some changes must be some protein supplement of sorts. Yen thought to himself as he sat up and noted her improvements in chakra strength and control. Yet yen could oggle at her cuteness and power later as he had expected her arrival later then usual yet there was never a late unless now of course. Sighing yen decided to cut to the point as he placed his straw hat on his head and spoke.

"Salzem is leaving and I know you might've expected it as I suspected sense our last mission yet I'll explain a bit more in detail and give you a warning of caution." Yen spoke in a matter of fact tone not very troubled as he had come to terms with the leaving yet knowing risako was one thing he didn't want her running haywire on the fly as Sal had a bad dark tint to him. Subconsciously yen noted that a bit of it might've came from himself mixing a bit of destructive suggestions yet adding nobility to requests it was easy to hide a meaningful journey in a line of words. 

All in all yen gazed in the girls hazel eyes and spoke up. "We will go somewhere private for discussion on further actions as I have just the place in mind." Yen spoke as he began to slowly weave the abnormally long sequence of handsigns to pandemonium he nodded at risako as he spoke. "Do you trust me?" Yen would ask hearing her response he would finish the final bird sign as risako spoke.

 if she continued looking towards him an explosion of light would envelop both of them and risako would find herself floating down on the grey platform darkness sorrounding the area outside of the platform as yen would appear a few seconds later in the center platform.

Risako nodded, "Sure do what you need." Her tone wasn't necessarily excited, and it definitely wasn't happy. Salzem leaving was bad, since he was one of the prominent chuunin, this left Risako with a whole new slew of work. No, she couldn't be the only one that actually did anything around here, she had to bring him back. When Yen finished, she was surprised to see a flash of light, and found herself in a dark area, standing on a grey platform. 

She sighed, "Okay, what the fuck." Really, this took her by surprise, she thought he wanted to go somewhere private, not a closed off dimension. "Looking around the grey platform, she noticed Yen, and said "So what's up? Why'd this need to be so private?" Salzem's situation sounded as if time would be of the essence.

Yen nodded solemnly as he heard risako speak to him and waited paciently after she was done yen glanced at her from under his straw hat and spoke. "Business is the reason why risako and business as it shall be. I worry for Sal and know his leaving is a shock but deep down we all saw it coming. He yearns for the world and its freedoms despite the consequences. I tried to talk him down but came to the realization that it'll be the same song. That's why I am telling you as a friend and a warning we don't need harm to befall our home and structure.  So I want you to follow him as an ally to keep him company and not have I'll fare befall him. I don't know but even though he isn't sick I'll feel better if the rash doom duo work as a team and change the world together then alone. Besides I cannot leave here as I fear for konohas safety it'll be safer and better if I stay." Yen sounded uneasy as he spoke perhaps it was the twisting guy feeling of doom impending tge village that lurked in the back of his mind. Or perhaps the fact salzem meant a lot to him as well as risako he could only choose the simple route for now as Sal leaving would upset risako a bit the true challenge that was ahead was holding down the fort. In old times ages ago a trip would be fine. Yet nowadays a trip could cost more the a single life.

Yen sighed troubled yet taking to heart yen out a hand on risako's shoulder and nodded. "What do you think"?

Risako looked around the grey little dimension they were in. Kinda boring, really. She wasn't exactly sure what this place was, either an illusion or an actual dimension they had been teleported too. Didn't matter, either way, the place could use some sprucing up, for example, the platform beneath their feet could be made of stone or something, and it could use a little twilight in the sky. That settles it, in her head, she already decided that she would, in some way, shape, or form attain her own personal dimension in which she would decide it's make up, it's rules, and its laws. Sounds like hell to all but her. 

Her eyes drifted here and there as Risako listened to what Yen had to say. Honestly it was making a bit of sense, and she was beginning to understand where Salzem was coming from. Still, he had duties and obligations to the village, just as she and Yensung did, and leaving because you found no purpose wasn't an excuse. She would wait, and listen, while Yen finished talking himself before she spoke. "I get what you're saying, but we can't just let him run off like that. I'll track him for a while, and see if I can't convince him to come back, because he's needed around here." When Yen placed his hand on her shoulder, she seized his wrist, pulling back the sleeve and placing a mark seal, that way she would always know where he was. "Listen," she'd lock eyes with him to portray some sense of importance in her words, "If anything bad happens while I'm gone, round up all the genin, and academy students you possibly can, and meet me in the jungles of the Waterfall Country. I'll know when you guys leave, thanks to this little seal," her hand would then loosen its grip, revealing a small black dot, that after a few seconds would turn invisible. 

After a short pause, the girl would continue, "Do you happen to know where he's headed? Or did he keep that secret? Any thing else I should be warned about before I set out?"

[Placing a mark seal on Yensung]

Yen shook his head. "I would figure you were going to jump the gun like that. Look I know you want to chase him and I don't know where he is going. I would say though he has new purpose and aspiration. The role as leader is quiet a challenge and especially if one does not disire to follow rules. Risako take it from me and understand don't follow him as it's best and dangerous out there. Especially in the cloud village but I'm positive he isn't heading there. But either way don't go. However I won't stop you just know that he gets mad and strikes you run back here as fast as possible. Already we lost enough ninjas we don't want to lose any more."

Yen while speaking examined his arm even though an illusion he swore risako did something either way Yen discarded the thought. "I hope with all my heart that you consider the possibility an your duty to the village." Yen weaved the long sequence of handsigns as he smiled at risako. A blinding flash later yen stood face to face with risako whatever she did properly a mark of sorts as she wouldn't grab his arm so suddenly it would be gone yet yen reached out his arm once more and spoke. " not sure what you did there but I'll try again if I was you"

Risako's black eyebrow arched up, as she began to realize what Yen had meant by "Better try again." Okay, well, no harm done, but some knowledge was gained. Yen held an illusion that put him in control of a dimension apparently. Could that even really happen? She didn't know. Her brain was but a simple little lump of meat that didn't like thinking too hard. 

Her hand shot out, seizing Yen by the wrist again, this time marking him with the seal for sure. "You heard my plan in the dimension. If anything goes wrong while I'm gone, head to a different country, and I'll meet you there." With that, she turned to go find Salzem, who hopefully hadn't left the village quite yet.

[Placing a mark seal on Yen, exit]

Yen shook his head as risako left sighing naturally the complications were grand yet knowing that risako got in the thick of this made yen rethink about notifying her of the situation as last thing he needed was to let things fly out of control. Yen looked at his arm and concluded that risako needed him in a time of need but whether or not he awnsered things depended on the time and place. A slight chill went down his spine as he realized that he was caught in the grand drama of the disires of other's and he needed a bit more of a hand in things as it was. Then his mind went back to researching the things he wanted to focus on doing. As his study of the effects of genjutsu was leading him closer to the depths of his path. Yet yen soon as he walked home kept in mind of the problemsprice of tge free but dangerous path as missing ninjas as it wasn't a comforting thought yen one yen handles as. A later idea.
