Shrouded In Darkness

A clear moon shined bright on buildings built on shifting sands. Sands of time progressing forever forward. The village remained hush in a majestic unheard song. As if Sunagakure itself mourned in her absence. Words rode among the winds in Suna, transforming news into wildfire. Birds of prey cawed her name, an eternal dance for their elegant lady. Insects peacefully awaiting her return. Somewhere nearby she lied in a bed. Her eyes sealed shut as her bodied rejuvenated. The Kazekage's Curse. Kazekage's died young. Point blank. No one could trace the curses point of origin. But it happened. Frequently. Now, Samiya fought for her life in a distant, heavily guarded and sealed room. Some speculated an ancient civilization that had fallen in ancient times after its leader was assassinated. And until avenged, Sunagakure's leaders would befall his fate. But that became nothing more than a tale mothers told restless children. Stars sparkled bright over his office, a shooting dot streaking across obsidian pallets.

He stood, adorned in Kazekage attire, in utter silence. His office's light had been off for a few hours, choosing to use the moons immense light to illuminate his office. He loved nights like this. It reminded him of the nights his father crafted in his mind during his dreams. But his robe's silk composure felt very real, or would have felt. His eyes were locked on the Moon. His Kazekage hat covered his face completely. A boy with a folded umbrella in his hand. Behind him, a woman stood proud. White hair that fell past her shoulder and empty eyes. Eyes of soullessness. Devoid of all life and emotions. But to him, she lived. She was just The Quiet Type. Akagi closed his eyes for a second before taking a deep breath.

"I can not believe this happened. Of all people, and of all times." He locked eyes with the radiating moon once more. Silver energy circulating around him. "I have no idea," Akagi answered his inanimate sibling. To him, he felt her alive. Living and thriving inside. But in truth it was a different piece of himself. Like his other silver family members. She was just shy. "But they say her condition is controllable. We just have to wait it out. The village has taken kindly to my approval as Provisional Kazekage. Being my parents child does come with some privileges. Royal blood once ran through my body. And although they do not know me, they trust in my skills in protecting this village." He sighed. "She's probably waiting for me at home somewhere...But I have urgent business to attend to."
