Maybe it was the dead-pan expression on her face that seemed forever cemented... or maybe it was the elegant scent that he perceived as roses whilst her sword techniques tore his clothing to pieces. Either way, there was one particular Kirigakure kunoichi that Shō had recently seen wandering around the Mist Village, one that he explicitly remembered losing to during the Chūnin Exams the year prior, who unfortunately had conjured the unintentional curse of Sai Shō's infatuation for the time being... and her name was Yamaguchi Kyoko. "Time check, seventeen twenty-eight on the dot...", the pathetically desperate lad thought to himself as he attempted to blend in with a thick brush that lined both sides of a gravel pathway that led from the Mizukage headquarters to the residential division of the village.[break][break]
Despite the air typically being polluted with a thick mist from the surrounding bodies of water, it was colder on this day to the point that the droplets couldn't hang freely, and thus the Sun peered through with a satisfying glaze as it started to fall toward the horizon. Sadly for Shō, this commonplace lack of visibility did him exactly no favors for what he was trying to achieve. "Ehh, maybe she took a different route today...", he mumbled as his fingers played with themselves from the concealment of the greenery. The road wasn't completely barren, as a few pedestrians strolled by here and there, and each time Shō made sure to peek his little white-haired head up to scan from left to right, only just to be disappointed. "*sniff* *sniff*...Wait a second, she's gotta be close...", he reassured himself as a single nostril flared up twice, catching a whiff of familiar odor that he strongly believed to be hers.[break][break]
Ever since the day he encountered her guarding the Mizukage's office when he was tasked with dropping off a recent mission debrief, the Silver Horn made it his own mission to learn more about the one who had given him such a hard time during the Chūnin Exams. For the time being, the best he could do was narrow her scent down to this precise throughway, although he had done this several times before and she never showed. However, he had a feeling that this was a notably fortuitous day, nevermind the fact that he hadn't thought far ahead as to what he would do once she actually showed up. Perhaps it was just the sight of her that would be satisfactory enough for him, since it was unlikely he had the courage to step up and actually introduce himself to her. Meanwhile, on a nearby bench sat an elderly old man, who had only taken a moment to rest on his long walk to enjoy the scenery. Instead, he glanced over and had noticed the bizarre teenager poking his head back and forth repeatedly from the thicket. "What in the.... I'll tell ya, kids sure are weird nowadays..."[break][break]
