Daemyn had almost forgotten how the Hidden Sand Village looked. He was gone for many years, now... training in a smaller village with his parents and sister, Aie. He has practally mastered Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, but still needed a bit of work with genjutsu, which was why he headed back to the village he was born in. Daemyn sighed as he entered the gates to the village for the first time in years. He took in a deep breath, letting the blowing sand fill his lungs. His long cloak's hood covered his face, only showing his eyes, which showed beneith the darkness. He pulled the collar of his cloak up over his mouth as another gust of wind headed for him followed by sand. He closed his eyes for a breif second, waiting for the gust to stop.
He opened his eyes quickly and continued to walk. Daemyn's two, black pieces of hair fell out of the hood as Daemun kept his head down against the wind. He managed to take a glance around the village. There wern't many people out and around, but it seemed that all the people who were there either had a face of worry or a face of discust on as Daemyn walked by each of them. He wasn't about to stop and chat, so he continued to walk on, not looking where he was going, of course, for his hood was a bit too long. He just decided to focus on his feet instead of having to face the other villagers who might reconize him as that fool many years back.

"Kohaku.......... Kohaku!" Mayaku called her brother's name repeatedly. 'Gosh darn it! Why is he always running off like this! I hate having to track him down.' she thought to herself. A violent gust of wind picked up, whipping up a thick cloud of sand and causing her thick bangs to once again fall into her eyes, nearly blinding her. She cursed mildly under her breath. 'Why, why did he pick today of all days to run away again. When I get my hands on that kid he is so in for it!' She growled in frustration and made an attempt to brush the hair away from her face. No such luck, not with the wind as bad as it was.
She pushed ahead, not really paying much attention to her surroundings, only searching for her brothers familiar face. 'Shouldn't be too many people out. Not on a day like today.' No sooner had she finished her thought than a sharp pain shot through her body as she collided with someone and toppled to the ground. "Ouch." she muttered, rubbing her shoulder. She looked up at the person she had collided with. Whoever it was, she had to admit they looked a little intimidating. As if thier height weren't enough, a long cloak blocked most of their features. 'Wow, scary guy.' she thought. She stood up and brushed herself off. "Sorry about that." she said quietly.

"It isn't your fault. I wasn't looking where I was going." Daemyn replied to the stranger. Daemyn looked up, just as another gust of wind blew past them, closing his eyes for a breif moment he opened his eyes again to look straight at the girls brilliant, blue eyes. Daemyn brushd the sand that landed on his shoulder off, his hood starting to annoy him. He puled it back slightly so he could see where he was going for now on. It showed all dark except for his deep red eyes that glisened as another gust of wind blew over them. Once again, Daemyn brushed the sand off his shoulder.
"There must be a reason for you to be out in weather like this..." Daemyn said rather calmly to the girl.

Mayaku nodded. "My brother, in his infinate wisdom, decided that today was the perfect day for him to run away again. I've been looking for him all day." She paused to scan the area for Kohaku, then, not seeing him, turned her attention back at the guy in front of her. "What about you. How'd you end up out in this mess?"

Daemyn slightly shrugged. "I decided that I would visit the Hidden Sands today... wasn't a good choice by the looks of it..." Daemyn laughed rather evily under his breath as another breath of wind and sand swept around them. Daemyn brushed the sand off his shoulders again and focused back on the girl.
"How about I help you find your brother. It isn't such a good day to be 'running away'." Daemyn insisted. He knew it was easy to get lost in this village. Even though this boy probably grew up here, there wasn't much hope for him to get that far in a sand storm like this.

Mayaku smiled and nodded. "Thank you so much. I'm Mayaku by the way." She made another attempt to push her hair out of her face, again with no avail, then scanned the area again for her brother.

Daemyn looked around. "I'm Daemyn..." Daemyn replied in turn. "What does your brother look like?" Daemyn asked. Another gust of wind blew over them again, blowing the hood of his cloak off, reveiling his blood red eyes, short black hair and his yellowish skin. He wiped the sand off him again and pulled his hood back up.

Mayaku looked back at Daemyn, catching a short glimpse of black hair before it disappeared again under the hood. 'Darn, wish I could have seen his face.' she thought. "Kohaku's about nose height to me and he also has black hair and blue eyes." She paused a moment, trying to remember more specific details, then continued. "He's wearing a black shirt and tan shorts, and his hair is up in a short ponytail." She turned and started off through the sand storm. 'I hope that was a good enough description. Grrrr, when I find that kid I'm going to kick his butt!' she thought.

Daemyn tried to picture the boy in his mind. He closed his eyes for a moment, seeing the boy in his mind of what he pictured him to look like. He opened them again to get another face full of sand. Daemyn spat out a bit of the sand that blew into his mouth. "Ok... he shouldn't be too hard to find. This isn't the first time he has run away, right? " Daemyn asked, thinking through his plan.
"We should check the places he usually goes." Daemyn suggested.

"Why do I had to be the volunteer? What was I thinking? " Shinju thought to herself.
When her brother asked who could leed the workmen to their former house, to pick up their old stuff, she volunteerd.
She always underestimated the journey to get there. She didn't even have protection from the sun. Only her coat. She did have her standard backpack with her. It was standard because she hardly unpacked it when she was home, so that she didnt always have to pack before a journey.
The only protection for what heaven would send them, was a raining suit. Like she would use that here. "I have to put the idea from the standard backpack aside" she thought to herself.
Now she was just walking around with her hand as a protection from the sun and sand, both trying to blind her. She made her way further into the desert, desperately trying to somehow find a shortcut, which obviously wasn't there.
during her carelessness she tripped over some sort of a rock.
"Argg!" she heard.
"wh-wh-what?" she said. "Don't tell me its a talking rock!"
"Gah, NO! I'm just a human being!" said a black-haired boy, now standing up. He was a couple of inches smaller then she was. She quickly took notice of his light-blue eyes, considdering he had black hair and a black T-shirt.
"oh"she said. "Then what are you doing here, in the middle of the desert?"
"... nothing much" he said."just, hiding for the storm"
"And how did you get on the idea to walk around the desert, all by your own?"
"uhhh"
"I dont have that much time, so hurry up a little." Shinju said with a slightly irritated voice.
"I- uh, run away from home" He said, looking away.
"why?"
"I have been getting bad grades at school for a while, so my mom said that i couldn't play outside till they become better"
"So what does it help to run away? You only get your parents angrier, with it. By the way, you could choose a better day to run away."
"I know, I know!" "So... are you heading to Sunagakure?"
"It seems like it. Dont worry i'll get you home... I havnt catched your name yet" she said looking at him
"Kohaku, Imagawa Kohaku. And you?"
"Shinju, Amaterasu Shinju." she said "C'mon lets go, Kohaku. We have to hurry if we want to get back before nightfall"

Mayaku thought a moment. "He usually hides out around the outer edge of the village, right by the gate." she explained, continuing on through the sand and gusting wind. 'I just hope he's there this time. I've already checked that area once, but hey, never hurt anyone to double check. Please, please let him be there.' she thought to herself.

"Ok..." Daemyn nodded under his hood as another blast of sand hit him while he truged through the storm. Daemyn was suposed to meet with an old friend, but he could wait. If someone was to be stuck out in this storm, that wouldn't be very good... he would understand.

The two neared to the gate of the village. Looking up Shinju saw two figures in the distance, running from point to point, despite the heavy sand storm, though the storm was even heavier a briskly back.
"Probably those are your parents, searching for you like maniacs." Shinju said
"Not really, my father died before i was born." said Kohaku.
"Oh I - I'm sorry, i didn't know."
" I have never known him, what is there to be sorry about? By the way, its probably my sister who is searching for me, not my mom.""It's always my sister who searches for me. Then when she finds me, she gets pissed at me for running away and brings me home, so that my mother can ply mad on me too"
"Well that sucks. But I think its better for you to go home, instead of being outside in this storm, don't you think?"Shinju said without waiting for an answer she yelled at the figures comming closer.
"HEY GUYS!!"she yelled to get their attention "I found this boy a couple of miles away. Do you know him?"

Mayaku ran from place to place, opening doors and then slamming them back, all the time calling her brother's name. "Where the hell is he?" she asked, to no one in particular. She growled again in frustration and continued on.
"HEY GUYS!!"she heard from off in the distance, "I found this boy a couple of miles away. Do you know him?" She turned toward the direction the voice had come from. She shielded her eyes against the wind and sand and saw two figures advancing toward her and Daemyn. As the got closer she was able to make out the baggy black shirt her brother wore. "Kohaku!" she exclaimed, taking off through the storm to meet him and the stranger he was with.
"Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you." she said upon reacing them. She pulled him into a tight hug and looked at the black haired girl with him. "Thank you for bringing him back. I hope it didn't cause you any trouble."

A girl came running down their way. She was obviously his sister and older than Shinju. "Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you." the girl said. She pulled him into a tight hug and looked at Shinju "Thank you for bringing him back. I hope it didn't cause you any trouble." She said "No of course not, i was heading this way too. I just found him miles away, curlled in a ball, hiding for the storm." Shinju said
"My name is Amatarasu Shinju" Shinju said and bowed "May I ask yours?"
