A wasted chance(nomo)

There were a lot of things kouse hated and the thing he hated the most was not being able to fully make use of the opportunity that was given to him.

With his hair as long and black as ever, being blown about by the gentle breeze that passed through the forest, kouse quietly blamed himself...it had been awhile now that he'd been given the chance to acquire wood release but so far he'd been unsuccessful in achieving that small task. 
Kouse needed more fresh air, needed to be alone and this made him run through the forest hopping from tree to tree at near max speed trying to clear his head.
It was like he's body had simply rejected the Senju kidney. He had done everything he could to activate the so called wood release but it didn't matter what he did, it was not to be.

After awhile of running non stop through the forest, kouse finally stopped and jumped down to the ground, sitting down and resting his back to a tree in an attempt to take a quick rest.

"Kouse." The voice came seemingly from no where as the Hell's Angel appeared from a swirl of dust. She stood directly behind the three where he rested, her back leaning against the structure. This boy had seemed to have so much promise until he disappeared, which worried her. "How are things with the wood element?" Had he been in hiding? SHe hoped not. It wouldn't do for him to have sought sanctuary away from her eyes, simply because there wasn't one. Even if there had been of course she would simply have planned out a solution to the problem he was having were there an issue with her DNA. The important thing was she'd find out soon enough.

His eyes were closed as he relaxed, taking in a deep breath he slowly exhaled. He really needed some alone time. Time to analyse his life, to figure out his goals and how he was doing towards achieving them. But even this small wish was not going to come true.

'Kouse'....his eyes snapped open upon hearing his name. He instantly realised two things...it was a females voice and it was nearby.
Instincts took over his next actions.
Upon hearing the strange voice kouse stood up and jumped 30 metres away from the tree, creating a little distance between him and the person who had uttered his name...for someone to know his name, the person must most likely be a konoha ninja but kouse wasn't taking any chances.
"Who's that, show yourself". Kouse would speak up, keeping his calm.

She moved calmly around the tree, her eyes shifting to the eternal mangyeku as she looked upon the boy with something other then her sensory for the first time in quite a while. "Now now little bird. No reason to fly the coup just yet." her tone was calm, raising at the end almost as if she were asking the ending statement. It was a dual part statement, first to release any doubt as to who had found theboy and second to subtly test if there was a reason he'd been away from her for so long. Powerful eyes studied his form searching for body language that would explain what had happened, her facial expression neutral but calm for now.

Kouse's eyes widened in surprise as the person who had previously called his name came out. 
It was the missing nin that had giving him the Senju kidney!. He didn't expect her to be here. But quickly overcoming his surprise he would force a smile at her.
"Well well well, long time no see....ummmmm...well you never told me your name" kouse would add "I've not been successful in activating the wood release, not yet anyway".
Kouse would relax as he thought things through...'she might have a solution to the problem he had stumbled upon...a way for him to unlock the wood release.... Just maybe'.
And this thought gave him new found hope....be it unlikely.

"What?" She gave the boy a puzzled look, trying to understand the words as if they were foreign to her. "Have you worked with the energies to sync them to your body?" Fear gripped her at the realization of what may have happened. Either it was this boys body.. or it was her dna. She prayed it was the former, though she remembered vividly the day she'd attempted to gain new power only to find it not available to her. "If you've done what needs to be done in order to activate the bloodline then either your body rejects it or the implant doesn't hold the power needed. In that case we'll need to remove it from your body quickly. A rejection of implantation could have dangerous and violent effects.

Her hand reached out, offered to Kouse. She was sure he knew what this meant. It was time to take a trip back to her medical bay and take a closer look at the effects of his body.

On hearing her words kouse bit his lip. Yeah she was going to take her kidney back. He had been unsuccessful in acquiring the wood release so there was no real need for her to leave the organ in his body. The other things she said was just an attempt to coat the sad truth. The fact is he failed and she was done with him.
With his eyes betraying no emotions he accepted her hand..knowing it was him acknowledging his failure and agreeing to the removal of the kidney...which was so far wasting in his body.

In an instant the pair was gone, drawn into the faewilds by the power of the summoning technique. They found themselves standing in the center of the medical bay with two confused pixies and Amber awaiting their entrance. "Be calm child. It is not your fault the transplant did not take. We'll need to give you a bit of time for your body to recouperate, but once that is done I'm sure as long as you can recieve transplantation we'll find a more suitable match. " her hand motioned to the table where he'd had the inital surgery and in encouragement she flashed him a kind smile.

"This is not the end of our partnership, simply a bump in the road. " If he laid down she'd offer him a paralytic to ensure he was out long enough to perform the precedure, nodding to amber to begin.

Scents linger, they always linger like ghosts in the air and, like ghosts, one can follow scents with the proper medium. When it comes to scents there was no shinobi better at tracking than an Inuzuka. Many people rely on sight or hearing as their primary sense, but to an Inuzuka smell was everything. Ashi Inuzuka had built her career on her nose. An ANBU operative able to track her prey anywhere was valuable. In fact, for the moment, the anbu was hot on the trail of one Kouse Uchiha. Chai had stayed behind in favor of stealth; it was only Ashi in full anbu getup.

Each footstep softened and movement dulled by the cloak she wore; Ashi was a ghost. Even her chakra was undetectable. Now you might be wondering, why is an ANBU operative keeping tabs on a chuunin of the village? Well, simply put, Kouse had been away from the village and admitted to having been in contact with a missing ninja by the name of Salzem Alagahara. Furthermore he left the village without checking out. The boy was getting off easy with surveillance, truth be told. With the boy having left the village and taken to the forest once more it fell to operative Wolf to keep tabs on him.

The woman had not actually seen Kouse go into the forest, but word came to her that he had left. Following his scent was child's play upon arriving at the gates. It took only a few moments for her to find the scent among the mess of trails at the gates and follow it with all the care in the world. The woman would appear at the scene where Kira and Kouse once stood maybe ten minutes before, perhaps longer. What she found on the spot was interesting.

I know that scent...

There was another scent, the scent of Kira. It was a smell Wolf would not soon forget. The two had been in the area that much was certain. Had it been at the same time? She couldn't tell. All Wolf could know was that the trail ended here as if both Kira and Kouse disappeared into thin air. Suspicious? A bit. Worthy of condemnation? Not yet.

Giving the area a thorough once over Wolf concluded that there was nothing else to be gained in the clearing; there were no other signs of life. Thus, she returned to the village. Of course, there was a report to be written. People don't just disappear. Kouse Uchiha was now an even greater person of interest. Wolf had questions, questions that needed answering.

A shiver passed down Kouse's spine while he listened to the female ninja speak.
It reminded him of the past..when his mother had joked that the cause of said shivers were if someone was thinking deeply about you.
He had believed her then, but now older and more experienced he knew it was all superstition. No one was paying him any mind at this very time, everyone who had a reason to think of him which included his family and close friends all thought he was training in one of the training grounds or just doing what he did normally. So he was rest assured the shiver he felt was just a shiver and nothing more.

He smiled weakly at the female ninja at her attempt to 'console' him. He laid on the bed, and closed his eyes as he was given the paralytic drug.
Kouse didn't know when exactly he became unconscious.
