Remnants and Renewal ~Open~

Altar strolled out of the small shop, a remnant of Tengakure that still thrived in Kirigakure. Something he was surprisingly happy about. The fresh pastry in hand, Altar took a bite before gazing around and leaving the storefront, making his way down the street. His long black overcoat billowed with his motion. The ANBU had shed his armor and mask, obviously, and returned to his normal attire for today.

Munching away at the sugar coated delight he had gotten, Altar was shocked at the amount of unfamiliar faces in the streets. Had Kirigakure gotten a new batch of families? Or were these some faces left over from Shimagakure that he had never met? No, that was impossible. He knew everyone here.

Thinking back to the archives, faces would half-click in his mind, aligned with records and further down to families. There were supposedly a lot of new academy students in Kirigakure. Perhaps he should take a trip down to the academy and see the newblood younglings for himself. Or perhaps, that could wait for another day. Shrugging to himself, the boy took the final bite of his baked good and dusted off his hands, his forward motion unhalting.

Hikaru was jumping through the rooftops when he saw someone that froze him in fear. He couldn't place why the fear was gripping him yet it was, it was quite unsettling. He did not know how a random civilian could instill this much fear into him. He watched the boy walk into a bakery and walk out holding a pastry. The man handled himself like a ninja, there was no waste to his movements, everything was performed with a clear goal in mind.

Hikaru hid and continued to watch the ninja finish his pastry walk into the crowd. He continued to hide and stalk the man but he begrudgingly realised that if this man really was a ninja, he would have no problem sensing Hikaru with his sub-par hiding skills. Was this the blur that had attacked him those many weeks ago? Unlikely, what were the chances of meeting the blur out of all the people in kiri?

Due to Hikaru's complete lack of self-preservation he decided to go ask the guy instead of having an internal debate. He jumped off the building, the wind whipping his hair and kimono behind him as he did this and landed soundlessly next to the boy. He turned and looked at him in the eye and said.

"Hey, have me met?"

Clearing out the clutter in my TBW, voiding this topic seeing as Hikaru got turned to dogmeat.
