Sleepy Willow

Hybris awaited the arrival of the Goryu, Ki. She had sent him a letter recently stating for him to be here. She hoped he'd show.

ki walked in wearing his usual habit and ivory staff. what was different abiut it though, that there was a slash mark at the tip. symbolizing one of something. "you called me miss bony?" ki laughed

"Ha. Yes, I did call you - Ki." She said, standing up and extending her arm; holding her hand out, waiting for him to shake it. "I'd like.. To ask you a question, Ki." She says, grinning.

ki pulled out a glove and slipped it on his clawed hand. he then bent down to shake the girls hand. " well, questions dont hurt. well, unless you put me in a torture chamber to get them..."

"That sounds a bit psychotic.. RIGHT UP MY ALLEY!," she says, laughing. "No, no. Just kidding. I wanted to ask you if you would like to join the Seven Legendary Swordsman of the Mist. Its an exclusive offer." She asked, releasing his hand from the handshake and sitting back down.

ki thought for a while. "hm...ive been missing ninja, sannin, medical ninja, jounin, chunin, akatsuki, goryu, mizukage, akatsuki leader and made pacts with 4 nations....hm...why not?" ki laughed. nodding. "do we have to have a sword?"

"Have to have one? Yes. Obligated to have it in your possession at all times? No." She said, smiling at him.

ki smiled back. "i have 3." ki took his staff and twsted the top. he pulled out a dimond blade. the staff was just a holster. the handle having the slash. in writing it had a poem on it.

little willow, let you bows bend low
be the shelter, be lifes hood
even when the hard wind blows
and the black night brims with blood

" i have 2 others. is that ok?" ki asked. laughing again.

"Of course, and touching poem. I will rank you as a Henchman. Glad to have you in my Organization, Ki." She said, saluting him.

ki did a mock salute. " and glad to be your disposable rag miss shorty." ki chuckled. he took off his glove and put his sword back into its shell. making it once again a staff. he swiveled a 360 and took one step. there was a loud pop and he disapeard into thin air. no smoke, no warping. just gone.
