[Sesshoku, Hizou]

Hizou's bare fingertips grazed along the course texture of aged parchment as he walked along a shadowy aisle of the village's library. He found himself in the historical archives, dusty scrolls stacked endlessly on shelves as high as the ceiling. Feelings and memories etched into the paper almost a century ago flashed into the boy's mind as he used the famed kekkai genkai of the Sesshoku. He concentrated every inch of attention on the images, attempting to catalogue them. However it wasn't his true purpose, indeed he was looking for a particular scroll.

His search abruptly came to a stop as his finger snagged on the wooden ball of a scroll's end. The images in his mind drifted deeper and deeper into the wood's memory, discovering some of its secrets. A recent memory burst to his visual cortex first, when the scroll first came to the library. Delving deeper backwards in time, he could feel the change of hands over time until reaching it's origin of a dry desolate climate. 

As he reached to pull the scroll from it's resting place to further investigate its contents, the boy heard the recognizable sound of footsteps approaching. Quickly Hizou stashed the scroll in his jacket and feigned busyness.

[attr="class","skullbody"]Jun would make her way into the library being tasked with looking for an almanac that specifically pertains to Takigakure a place that would soon be her next destination. The young Diplomat was given the decimals to research that would lead her to the scroll and she'd carefully examine of the individual scrolls as they laid where they needed too.

"Now then let's see...Bonchi no Kuni..." her fingers would trace each of the texts her mind wandering as she looked over some of the other titles that had similarly caught her interests the girl was a bibliophile and would often make her way to the library but find herself leaving with far more than she initially came for.

However she was so engrossed in her assignment she had failed to notice the familiar looking young man standing beside her. "Ah, hello there! Hizuo correct?" the girl would say as she turned to him. "It's a pleasure to see you again." she wasn't certain as why he was there but was certainly wasn't expecting too see him here perhaps he could be a scholar as well? Oh if she had only known what his actual intentions were. "What brings you here...? I'm looking for an almanac for my next outing."
