Let the Music Guide You Home Chapter 3: The Lyrics on the Page
Ekira stared at the other her face was passive but still showed signs of anger and shock, her fist tightened on her trying to well the anger in her. She took a deep breath looking at the sleeping figure on the table her sympathetic eyes watching as he took deep inhales. "So what do you want to do my lady", he asked the other watching her movements, "Run the test", she said looking back at him removing her glasses tucking them into her coat pocket, "I want a full analyzes as quick as possible", "Yes my lady", he gave a small bow before he started the tests he only hoped he was wrong.
Outside the house Wakana was staring up at the house a small white book in hand, as she lay on the porch staring tiredly at the book she didn't notice the figures coming toward the house. The two figures stopped in front on the house causing Wakana to bolt up looking up at the others a look of disdain shown on her face.
Back inside the house Ekira was sitting at her desk looking over pictures of the tan man's wounds she set the pictures to the side rubbing her eyes from the stress. She had viewed each wound, lacerations, and gash over and over again, in her heart she felt pain and pity for this man. Usually people would come to her residence seeking help from wounds caused by events usually linked to the military. Man, women, even children came seeking escape from the fighting that tore their families apart.
She was brought out of her thoughts by a knock at her rather loud knock at her door, "Come in", she said putting the files back into her desk. Wakana walked into the office a sour look on her face, "Wakana, What's wrong?" she asked in a questionable voice. She watched as her daughter stepped aside letting two figures enter the room her face remained passive at the figures inside.
"Hatake and Pein", she said malice in her voice, "What brings you here" folding her hands under her chin. "Lady Ekira", the man with silver hair spoke, a mask hiding the right side of his face, "It's nice to see you again, you look well", he said noticing the glare she was giving him. He cleared his throat "Anyway this visit is in concern an important matter concerning both Konoha and Akatsuki" he began, "Both Lady Tsunade and Lord Uchiha would like have an audience with you and discuss matters of are countries", Ekira sat quietly listening to the silver haired man speak, "We know you have reservations about us entering your lands", Pein spoke running a hand through his orange hair his many piercing embroidered his face, "But I can assure you all we wish to do is converse nothing more" he finished waiting for an answer.
"While I have my doubts about these kinds of things regarding the war and both party intentions, I have no reason to believe that you or your leaders are stupid enough to engage this land in any form of conflict that would break our treaty", she said standing, "I will however give you the benefit of the doubt.", she got up from her desk walking over to the two generals "But not now I have something's that need to be taken care of. So this discussion between me and your leaders will take place later", "How long is later", asked Hatake, "5 years", she dead paned and watched the shocked faces of both the generals and her daughter.
"5 years? Don't you think that is abit long", Pein asked, "It may seem long but I have my reasons. In 5 years will have are meeting and only then will the decision be made of who gets this land. And if your leaders have a problem with this then they can come see me personally." She said leaning against her desk, "Now Wakana, would you please show our guest out", "Yes mom!" she said motioning the two toward the door and soon she was alone.
By the end of the day word got to both countries about Ekira's decision and now the 5 year wait had begun.
