"As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain; As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end, they remain." - for the fallen Ishiin Ryohei | 194 words

A faint drizzle, a cold night. The air was inhospitable, high in the sky - an armored man sitting utop the Kage building, staring down quietly. A red light blinked overhead, a signal. Decrepit and underused as it might be, the ones who knew it... He won't keep me waiting.

Kosuke sat at the edge of the monolith of stone, his fingers bridged underneath his jaw as he attempted to relax. It was nostalgic, in a way. ANBU was... An interesting time.

Memories poked at his skull, digging around the far back of time. Faded, yet ever present. Thirty-Four's involvement is... Worrying. There shouldn't be any questions for loyalty. Ability, either. Of course, this isn't going to be a kind time for him.

The man would sigh, tilting his head back. Footsteps behind him would signal an arrival, followed by the slight tilt of his vision. "Ah, there you are."

With a slight lean back forward, Kosuke would 'dust' himself off, a faint spray of mist as he stood. "I'm glad to see some things still hold value." he remarked, a faint motion towards the blinking light. "Although I do find it a tad overdone."

The cool in the air was both refreshing and yet, the ANBU captain's face seemed to be etched in stone. He stood ready at all hours of the day and night, ready to ensure Iwagakure's security was at least decent and any hostile entities would be taken swift care of, but lately... Lately he had spent more time in the small room connected to the ANBU's operating room. So when he had seen the beacon, he had stiffened, reminded of a time long gone where it had been a regular occurrence to be called to a post via the red, blinking dot in the distance. By all means, it looked like nothing more than a blinking light on some industry tower and to all who didn't know better, that was what it was. Just a light. [break][break]

Ryohei would arrive, his feet tapping ever so slightly against the roof. Clad in his long coat and with the metal mask in place, his eyes focused on the body of whoever had called him to this impromptu meeting. The voice registered as belonging to the Jounin Hanchou, Tantetsu Kosuke. What on earth did he want? Just as with most others, Ryohei had little time to spare for them, as things were right now he had even less interest in the drama occurring between the shinobi in the council and war council, he would serve whoever held the title of Kage, if it was a Takara or a Kouen, he'd serve them as long as he was allowed his own projects and his freedom... But lately? Lately he longed for Kouen who always had someone he wanted something from, meaning there was always some poor sod in a cell somewhere Ryohei could dig his teeth into. [break][break]
 
"Overdone or not, it works" [break][break]

His voice was monotone, the mask distorting it a tad.

Masked. Not entirely unexpected, regardlessly unnerving. The man's face tilted into a slight grin, sliding a finger to the side of his mask. With the press of a switch, the looming red light was extinguished, his opposite hand extending outwards in greeting.

"I still can't help but feel barbaric." His tone was overtly lax, almost joking. "I have a few things I wanted to talk with you about," he'd continue, lowering his arm after a few seconds - regardless of whether or not Ryohei would take the gesture.

"Of course, as scenic as this view is," he gestured behind him, eyes lazily tracing the skyline, "I have somewhere you would want to see." His gaze turned back to meet the metal mask, unfazed; if tired.

"If you'd follow?" Kosuke didn't wait for a response, instead slowly stepping back till his feet met air. It would be a quick fall, and a landing with grace that met the man as he dusted himself off, turning towards the edges of the village.

Laying off on the theatrics might be a good idea. he bemoaned, his knees flaring. There's a lot left to be done.

The masked man would watch as the ANBU turned Hanchou stretched out his hand for Ryohei to shake. It was left hanging though. He could work together with others, but he wasn't here to play nice when he was at work. He was in no good mental place either, meaning playing nice when he really didn't need to wasn't something he was going to spend his energy on.

Ryohei wouldn't answer the man, he seemed to be content with simply doing the speaking and Ryohei supposed he'd eventually get to the reason he had called him out here. There had to be a reason, Kosuke wasn't a man who did anything without reason, although he was his senior and Ryohei even had a few memories of him during his time as a troublesome teen finding his feet in a place where he didn't have to fear starvation or vivisection. Although, it was too soft an existence so he had been shipped off to the ANBU as soon as he was able to. 

As the other male jumped Ryohei followed, landing softly with a small 'thud' on the ground. Wherever the man was leading him, Ryohei wasn't going to go in unprepared. Even in the village, he was rarely not cautious about the villagers... So with his hands buried in his pockets, he followed the other, his fingers interlacing with the holes in his trench-knives.

The village would give way as they passed the outer walls. Stone would give way to undergrowth, weak trees poking out from the harsh earth. As they continued their way, the foliage would grow thicker and thicker yet more. As the moon crested into the air, they would slowly come across a clearing.

Massive in size, the trees had long since stopped growing. The smallest of foundations could be seen, peaking from underneath the grassy, overgrown twine. It was easy to see - it had been a long time since anyone had been here.

"I know, rather sparse." he'd remark, turning to the continually silent ANBU Captain. "I wouldn't be surprised if you don't recognize it. Regardless, this old pile of rubble isn't what I wanted to show you. I'm not so cruel." his voice let off as if he knew something, but as to what?

That was between him and Ryohei.

Flicking eyes over the tangled growth for a moment, Kosuke would step forward. Reaching down, his fingers dug into the ground, catching on the edge of iron. With a pull, a small hatch in the ground opened up to the night sky, a massive clank as it fell backwards, fully opened.

"Down here. Do you want to go first?" he'd turn, facing the man with a slight grin. Inappropriate? Possibly. He didn't expect much of a reaction, either way.

The duo would make their way out of the village, Ryohei growing ever more suspicious of the former ANBU. He was his senior but ANBU were rarely classified as good people, based on that Ryohei wouldn't put it past the Tantetsu to attempt an assassination. Honestly, Ryohei somewhat hoped that was it, because it'd mean he hadn't come all this way for nothing. 

Kosuke would finally seemed to have arrived where he wanted to be. An old ANBU facility, outdated and out of use, but still very much on his blue prints. While he wasn't as well versed in its structure as other facilities, he knew this one better than the operatives, to them, this one wouldn't even exist unless they had been around when it was in use. 

Ryohei paused. A smirk growing under his mask at the Tantetsu's offer. He really thought that lowly of him? But then again... So did Ryohei.

"Lead the way, Kosuke" 

The voice filtered through was a tad distorted, but the Tantetsu had his answer. He could lead the way or he could watch as Ryohei returned to the village, not intending to play tango with an old jounin just to entertain him. He didn't need to jump through their hoops anymore.

Kosuke shook his head in response, almost a reprimand to the man's level of precaution. A slight shrug as he turned back to the hole in the earth. As his feet met with air, the man would drop down with nary a sound, landing almost softly. Lights would flicker, gas lines roaring to life.

Taking a step forward, Kosuke would shout back up. "Don't worry, this isn't the first time i've been here recently." His eyes would flick back to the walls, faintly tracking over the newly reconnected steel embedded into stone.

It had not been a fruitless task, after all.

The hallway would crown outwards as it burrowed further into the earth. Slanting ever so slightly downwards, pebbles rolled by as footfall disturbed the long slumbering shelter. A faint whistle escaped the elder's lips as he entered into the main hall, almost involuntarily.

Before them, had Ryohei taken the initiative to follow, was the remains of a storage facility. Walls were lined with steel and iron cabinets, cubbies carved into the stone walls. Faded, broken seals littered the floor of it, having been cracked apart as the earth underneath shifted from heat, and time.

Kosuke, after taking a moment to pause, would turn, hoping to address the man he had led there. "Look familiar?"
