Sengero Saroi, the great swordsmen of Kirikagure, well formally of Kirikagure, he was an exile, a missing-nin as it was from Kirikagaure, the mist village. You see, he had gone rogue at about the same time as most of his fellow seven swordsmen. He had once been among its members, a elite group of warriors. Since he left, he didn't have any assassinations to pull off or any real fun work to do either, he had thought about joining up with Kisame or one of the others again, but decided against it. He decided to keep a low profile, figuring to just stay out of the limelight for once in his life and work on his own skills, so that when the time was right, he could rise up and take down the Mizukage, and take over Kirikagure, thought that idea was becoming less interesting as well. In fact, he was more interested in mastering his sword then anything else. So as he walked down the streets of Konohakagure, he smiled knowing that he was sure someday, he would be the best.
Yuri had just left the forest of death from the Chuunin exams and that portion was finally over. She was one of the proctors for the exam and her stomach growled at her out of hunger from not having eaten anything in seven hours. She decided to stop by Naruto's favorite ramen shop and get some food.
Sengero looked around finding the first place, he figured he might as well get something to eat, somewhere simple out of the way, and a place where he wouldn't be noticed at all. He noticed a Ramen, place, no one ever ate ramen, most the time, they went out of business really fast, back in Kirikagure, so it would be save. Sengero walked into the place, and ordered a order of beef ramen. Looking around he noticed a dark haired female, before looking at his meal.
Yuri noticed another customer walk in to the ramen shop. He looked sort of...suspicious to her. Like a stereotypical 'bad boy', if you will, and she actually had a thing for the badass type. She found him attractive, but didn't gawk and just minded her own business and ate her ramen. When she went to reach for her drink, she accidentally knocked it over and it spilled on the stranger. "Oh, I'm really sorry, man." She picked the glass up and reached for napkins to clean up the spill. "I'm so sorry."
Sengero was not paying any attention to anything other then his meal, it was good, far better then any ramen he had tried in Kirikagure, maybe that was why they all failed, and this place was here. Sengero wondered what his next plans should be, when he felt something wet, and turned with a glare almost ready to take down this person, to remember that it was a woman, Sengero looked at her for a second, he had to admit she was nice on the eye. He noticed that the arm of his shirt was messed up, and he let out a loud sigh, "be more careful, I'm fine," he said with a shake of his head as he looked at her for a second longer.
"I will...." Yuri trailed off and held out her right hand to him. "I don't believe I've seen you around, stranger. My name's Yuri." She smiled a little. "And look, I'll buy you a new shirt if that one's stained."
"Well Yuri," Sengero said looking at her for a second, thinking figuring it would not be wise to cause a problem, "If you wouldn't mind, I would be grateful for you help," Sengero said trying to be a bit respectful, not knowing just how it was coming off, as he looked at her and smirked a bit.
Yuri eyed his smirking. "What do you need help with...?" She asked skeptically and took a bite of her ramen. Something about him made her want to not trust him....yet want to know him better at the same time.
"A new shirt, of course, you did offer to get me one, did you not," Sengero replied wondering what Yuri had meant by the question, "I need a new shirt, and I have no money, I need your help in getting a new one."
"Oh, right. It sounded like you needed, I don t know, something else. Like drugs." Yuri shrugged and finished up her ramen. "But I don't buy shirts for strangers, so I'm going to need your name first." She teased a bit and paid for her ramen and stood up.
"Stuff like that just causes your body to go bad, waste of time, if you ask me," Sengero replied before getting up turning to face the girl as he listened to her question, "I am Sengero Saroi, if you wish to know," he whispered to her, wondering what had possessed him to even give out that much info.
"Haha, yeah right." Yuri said to his name. "Sengero's a rouge. He wouldn't just give that information away to a random shinobi, now would he?" She questioned and started to walk towards a clothing shop. "Either way, I suppose I promised a new shirt and that's what I shall buy you."
"Well maybe no one would believe a person would admit to being Sengero, figuring him a fake, but then again, I guess I can be a fake," Sengero said with a smirk as he followed Yuri into the clothes shop and walked over and grabbed the first shirt that he saw a short sleeve red one, and took off his own shirt, and put on his the red shirt, nodding as he practiced punches with the shirt on before turning to Yuri, "Well, this shirt will work."
"Touche..." Yuri said at his comment on his name. She sort of blushed when he stripped right there and noted his good-looking body. "Right, well, let's pay for that then." She looked at the price tag and handed him the money to buy it. "There. Keep whatever change. I guess I'll....I don't know if I'll ever see you again, so good bye." She turned and walked back out of the clothing store, figuring it wouldn't be good to mingle with a rogue, if he was one....no matter how badly she wanted to mingle.
"Woman, get back here, now," Sengero said loudly to the Yuri after he paid for the shirt, he looked at her, "I will not allow myself to owe anyone anything, not even this small amount of money, so you will come back here and take this money back from me this second."
Yuri paused and looked back at him. "Did you just call me 'woman'? Psh..." She waved him off and turned again to walk away. "Screw it. You don't owe me anything...tool..." She muttered the last word under her breath.
"What, I will not let you get by without your money, I will follow you until, I pay you back, so you might as well take it, I am sure you don't want to have me around you, Yuri, now do you, think of the image problems, and what people will think when they see a male following you around everywhere," Sengero replied.
"I guess I have a stalker then..." Yuri said stubbornly and kept going back to her own apartment. "I don't know where you will be staying, though. I haven't known you long enough to allow you to sleep anywhere inside my own home." She tossed her keys in the air a few times and caught them. "Since I won't be taking the money at all, I suppose we will be spending a lot of time together. It would be suiting if we got to know each other a little more, don't you think?" She asked nonchalantly. "And if you really are a rogue, I don't much care. I've know rogues who were framed for their crimes....unless you weren't framed at all for what you've done."
"Well, I guess we will then," Sengero said as he looked at Yuri, "Well, I was a member of the seven swordsmen of the mist, and I became a rogue, because of the crimes I committed, you see, when I was in Kirikagure, the Mizukage lost his mind and did some crazy things, it was then as a member of the strongest force in Kiri, we took a stand, and battled the Mizukage, it was a losing battle, trust me, we left, and I became a rogue. I am a swordsmen without out a home, or friends, I travel to many places, never to long. I like ramen, and barbeque, I like to train, and draw, I will become the best swordsmen in the world. I live my life alone, and I am 20, anything else you need to know?"
"How about your blood type, astrology sign, height, weight, favorite color, the song that stuck in your head at the moment, are you more of a coke or pepsi person, and are you more of a dog or cat person." Yuri rattled off, half-sarcastically, but she wouldn't mind it if he actually answered. "Well, the Mizukage was a nut job, so I guess I can't blame you for standing up to him." She reasoned and kept walking.
Sengero didn't get the sarcasm this time, "Well, I am o, not sure, 5'11, 160 something, red, none, neither, dog," Sengero said as he followed after her with a smile, following this girl was a lot of fun, and very entertaining.
Yuri chuckled. "Very nice. Well, let's see, I suppose I should let you know more about myself, eh? I live alone as well. I am 18 years old. My blood type is A positive, my sign is leo, 5'3'', I'm not saying my weight, favorite color is yellow, don't have a song stuck in my head, I like Coca-Cola more, and I'm also a dog person." She answered with a nod and got to her apartment. "In all seriousness, do you have a place to stay? Because you can stay here if you like."
Sengero blinked, she actually offered him a place to stay, even knowing who he was. Well, this was not a pass to turn down, no not a all, this was a great chance to get some sleep somewhere nice, somewhere that was not out in the cold of the outside, Sengero wonder for a second and then nodded, "Yes, I would, I was planning to sleep in the woods, but this would be far much better then that."
"Haha, I would hope my place would be better than sleeping in the woods." Yuri unlocked the door and walked inside, throwing her keys on a nearby table and flipping on the light switch. "If you need to go get cleaned up in the bathroom at all, that's fine with me. Not that I'm saying you stink, just if you want to....go right ahead." She turned and went into the living room and slumped down on the couch. She had a jutsu cast on everything in her house that prevented it from being stolen, so she wasn't worried at all about that. And there were various traps she had set up that she knew how to activate, just in case. "God, I'm tired. I had a busy day..." She said out loud and laid her head back on the couch. "So what were you up to before we crossed paths?"
