Amatersu swore to herself, cursing the weather and her wandering feet. Some how she had ended up in Kumogakure No Sato, just out of curiosity. She loved to travel yes, but to more welcoming and prettier places, like the hidden grass village. Ama sighed to herself, and huddled under her umbrella. Stupid rain.... It always ruined her fun, not that she was having any in the first place. She growled softly and kept walking down a long stretch of road, seeking shelter from the torrents of rain.
Her sandals moved uncertainly over the rocky wet terrain, trying to avoid mud and big rocks. Amatersu swore again for picking the wrong traveling kimono. The one she had chosen for today was snow white with a phoenix on the back, her under skirt was a soft gray and her obi a dark black. She was sure with the soaking rain who ever she met would be able to see everything.

The rain was falling heavily from the skies, like a wet blanket. He rather enjoyed these rainy times. He did not seek shelter from the storm, rather he sat out freely and allowed the water to fall on him freely. He liked the sensation, it gave a gentle tinkle on his tanned skin.
A voice suddenly erupted from the back of his mind, crushing in over any other thoughts, claiming his undivided attention
"You're spacing out. Quit it"
"Whats the matter? Not like you to be this chatty."
"Someone is near. Be careful"
Kirabi realized that he had completely dropped his guard. A lone figure was walking through the rain. Quite unusual for someone to be walking around these parts. He decided to observe her for the time being.

Amatersu continued to walk, her small umbrella not doing much of a job to cover her. She shivered and lowered her head, continuing to shuffle forward. Suddenly her sandal slipped in the mud and she tumbled forward. Her umbrella shut in an instant and she twisted her body around, jabbing the handle into the ground, so she was able to hold herself up. She sighed with relief and pulled her parasol out of the ground and put it back over her shoulder.
Amatersu was now completely soaked, her white kimono clinging to her body akwardly as she shivered again.

The tanned ninja could not suppress a whistle. This young woman now had his undivided attention. He started to admire her slender form. The soaked white kimono didn't do much to cover her. It seemed to him like she wasn't sure about the way to Kumogakure. The gentleman inside him just couldn't ignore a damsel in distress.
He did a small jump and emerged from the bushes he was hiding behind, and appeared before her. He was facing her, the hint of a smile detectable on his face.
"Need a hand ma'am?"

Amatersu jumped and her eyes widened. She gripped the katana hidden inside her umbrella tightly, pulling it out slightly. Her foot moved back a little and her body went into a defensive position. Ama jumped again slightly when a tall, rather large man jumped out at her. She let out a small scream, her foot slipping and she went tumbling backwards just as she landed on her back. The umbrella cover flying off her katana to reveal her wicked looking blade.

Wait... She had a sword? As she lay down before his feet, a baffled look on her face and wielding a katana, he really had no clue as to what he should do with her...
It wasn't unusual for travelers to carry some manner of protection... But in his eyes she would be better off traveling with someone who could provide proper protection.
She was kinda pointing a sword at him...so he really should defend himself....
But on the other hand she might as well be armed with a stick. If you don't know how to use a weapon it's of no use to you.
"Wanna put that away? You'll end up getting hurt if you wave it like that..."

Unknown to most people, Amatersu had been training in the art of the sword since she had started her training as a geisha, which was pretty much since she could walk. Ama quickly got to her feet and grabbed the top half of her 'umbrella' and wiped the mud from it nonchalantly. The katana pointed at him, seemingly like it was just being held or waved around. It kinda was, but she could react in a split second if she had to.
She gave him a calm look. "I can handle it just fine. I'm not going to get hurt. she said, her voice even, calm and slightly melodic.
