In Times of Need [Sub-plot][Invite only]

✿ She was nervous. But why should she be nervous? After all Rina-chan had been nothing but helpful and assertive in every way to make the blonde's integration within the village seamlessly. And in return the woman had pledged her allegiance to the village's mistress and she had done so out of her own will and heart. But now the little message that the ebony bird had carried attached to it's leg had undid the plans she had. Instead of the scarlet and black kimono tied by a golden sash she would wear on her day of, the attire of the select few who worked on the shadows was pledged over her flawless skin. The fierce red and black mask in the shape of a lion hiding her lovely face and striking lilac eyes and for the first time since donning the outfit her golden mane hung as it naturally did instead of the tight braid she preferred on missions. Why did she preferred her uniform over more comely clothes was a secret even to her but her intuition called for her to dress herself like this.

Over the entire outfit she placed a black coat, just so no one would be struck out by the her appearance. After all even if they existed they were meant to be discreet in all occasions. She jumped from one of the windows of the apartment unto which she had being accommodated since her arrival, landing on a branch strong enough to support her weight but flexible as well to use as launching pad, shifting the position of her feet she jumped using the momentum she had build from vaulting over the perch of her window. With great ease and agility she parkoured her way from building to building, sliding over the desolated rooftops and jumping over the unaware civilians that mistook the black blur as a cat or a rather large bird. She enjoyed the rush of adrenaline going through every vein, the wind that was moved unto her lungs with each breath and even the bending of her knees with the occasional misstep that forced her to correct her trajectory or face crashing through a wall and breaking more than one bone. For her there were fewer things better than traveling like this.

There was however something else that accompanied her beyond the joy and thrill. The faint nervousness that had afflicted her earlier roamed like a shadow as she moved forward with each step towards her destination. And now of all times she would ponder why such the sudden call. Had she done something wrong? Something that displeased the Mistress? Was it almost spilling to the boy that she had being following him when she was assigned to? If that was so there was certainly punishment coming for her but regardless of what it was she had to face it and earnestly she hoped it would not be so severe. At least not as much as she feared. Her mind divided in the action at hand and traveling through the maze of buildings and houses she came back to herself relieved that she had not crashed against anything or anyone. Noticing the Mistress' mansion and even from here she could take account of the lavishness of the edifice. Relatively close to her destination she now poured her chakra through the rest of her body before rushing at a great speed towards her intended target she reappeared outside the window, using her momentum to move forward and land with a soft thud before Rina and another man which Kasumi had never laid her eyes on. She immediately bend her knee to kneel in front of them while looking towards the polish wooden floor.

"Did you summon me Rina-sama?"

✿ Kasumi frowned upon receiving the form. While not a lover of paperwork she understood the vitality to leave records of your deeds better than anyone after all it was due a long process of trail and error that she had started to understand and comprehend the abilities deep within her cells, with no one to guide her it had being a nuisance at best and a painful process at worst. So for in the future any children she had would inherit the ability to call upon wood and vegetation they would have a way to make their training easy, or at least that's what she liked to think. She eyed the application she had received and true to the pinkette's word it was mostly the basic stuff. The blonde moved whilst Rina and Byakko exchanged words to borrow a pen and fill in the application as swiftly as she could scribbling the well practiced and rounded calligraphy she had forced herself to learn and improve. Seconds after she had rounded her name into the blank of the signature she heard Rina talked to her.

"Uh...What?" The blonde said puzzled.

Had she heard correctly what came from Rina's lips? She the captain of the ANBU division? There had been whispers among the active special operators that the Mistress was looking for someone to fill the position. Yes she knew most of the ANBU albeit not personally she did through their work relationship. But on the matter on hand she was in s loss of words. It was truly something that she did not expect. It felt like the weight of the whole world was on her shoulders but at the same time the thrill for a new challenge filled her. To be considered for the position... It had to be an honor. The complaint did kept her ground leveled. And it was not without reason she was young for the position and perhaps the higher ups would prefer someone with more experience and she herself felt that was what she lacked.

"I understand your concern about my experience.... But for this village... for my new home I am prepared to make the right call even if it means to lay down my life." The blonde said. Her face unwavering after she said. Something which she spoke from her heart.
