Having worked long and hard to bring herself to greater heights of strength in the past two months, Aura was beginning to tire of the daily grind, and the toll it took on her mind, body and soul. That'd happen to just about anyone, and only the most stalwart of folks could bear anymore than what she has subjected herself too. Such is the life of a strong, independent kunoichi. But unlike the rest, she knows her limits, and that there's a lot more to life than training and missions, even for a shinobi. Coming to this conclusion had her jump at the opportunity for an express vacation to the critically acclaimed Mikadzuki Beach, and she made sure to include her wonderful guardian and lover, Noboru, on the trip. However, as she was considerate of his duties as a Raikage, she made sure to help him plan in advance the days he'd be able to actually spend time with her at this magical beach land. For now, she'll be on her lonesome for the first few days, which will give her a chance to figure out if this is even what it's cracked up to be. Saying her goodbyes, and being packed light but efficiently, she arrives in the early morning, around six o' clock, perfect for her to maybe get some meditation practice in before the crowds begin to gather at the shores.

Wearing a simplistic but cute, frilly and blue one piece swimsuit, alongside a rather adorable pair of tinted shades, and having her gorgeous white hair free and flowing in the cool morning air, she made her way to a giant rock resting on the edge between the water and moist sand, having already liberated herself of her belongings in the beach apartment she owns for the remainder of her visit. Taking a seat, she puts herself into her favorite meditation pose, that of the classic criss cross with your legs, followed by putting her hands together near her center. Calmly she breathed, in and out, with a slow and steady sequence to boot. Her brain started to clear itself of needless thoughts; her worries, her doubts, her joy and even the downtime, boring moments. Nothing existed in her mindscape, other than her own existence, and the nature surrounding her. It helps her reflect on recent events, such as her training to hone the element of Wind, so she could finally learn her kekkei genkai properly; the fabled Ice Release. She'd be one step closer to being the powerful, but intelligent woman she wanted to be. It'd be great. These simple thoughts soothe her, and she can feel the air around her get notably colder the longer her meditation goes on, and fortunately the public hasn't descended upon the lofty sands just yet. There's time to interrupt her though, especially considering her chakra is flowing readily throughout the duration of her display. Other than it's innate bite of cold, nothing stands out about it. She'll keep going until she notices the presence of someone else approach.

With Mikadzuki Beach as his current location, Akaboshi was enjoying the start of his holiday. "Ah, what better way to spend my vacation than this?" he rhetorically asked himself. No longer donning the white cloak of the Nova Corps, the Crimson Dragon having traded his Haven uniform for a summer outfit which consisted of a red, open shirt with blue swimming trunks underneath. He would place a towel somewhere on the sand, laying down so he could take in the sun and work on his tan. Akaboshi produced a satisfying sound, a noise familiar to those experiencing the glorious feeling of stretching their muscles before taking a nap.

As the warmth of the sun gently touched his skin, the Red Nova could feel himself getting more relaxed by the minute. No attacks on the village to worry about, no tournament to organize, no one in need of extra training. Safe to say, he didn't mind having some time off. "Well-deserved if you ask me", stretching his arms once more, the wind softly blowing through his crimson hair. Even though Akaboshi was by himself, there had been a couple of familiar faces he recognized, a total of five to be precise. It was hardly a surprise that all of them belonged to the same village as he did.

Realizing he shouldn't be the only one enjoying the vacation, the Dragon Rider quickly summoned two of his trusted companions. "Aiden, Hedwig, why don't you guys have some fun while we're out here?" Akaboshi suggested to the twins of the Red Dragons. Although young, at least in draconic years, the brothers had already been through a lot with their summoner, their lives together full of experiences, both dangerous as fun. "Alright alright, I can see you want to bury me. Fine, but nothing too crazy, ok?". Aiden and Hedwig always said that if they ever got the chance to visit a beach, they wanted to do something like that.

Now completely buried in the sand with only his head sticking out, Akaboshi felt surprisingly relaxed considering the situation he now found himself in. "Now don't go wandering off too far, alright?". Even though the twins were more than capable of taking care of themselves, the Red Nova still wanted to remind them to be careful at all times, especially with a lot of rumors hanging around Mikadzuki beach. But for now he simply wanted the brothers to have fun, and hopefully return soon so they could get him out of the sandy predicament he found himself agree to.

Her meditation went on for quite a while, but eventually there'd be a disruption in her activities at the behest of a unique voice sounding out in the distance. Very obviously, it wasn't of anyone she's ever heard nor met before, but it was like the wind itself was calling her to ruminate with them. Instinctually, clasped her hands on the tops of her knees, and took a moment to eavesdrop on them. They weren't super far away, at least relatively speaking, so with her heightened senses she could spot a few words here and there. It sounded like he was speaking to two other people as well, who had much more regal, gruff sounding tones than what she assumed was a man. There was a discussion about conducting a fun little activity involving the vast sands of the beach, and finally she could hear them parting ways once whatever occurred was done. Suffice to say, her curious side has her perplexed at what took place, and she no longer wanted to focus on meditating because of it. Feeling she'll miss her chance to meet with whoever this person was, she stands right back up, stretches her limbs to make sure she's as relaxed as can be, and hops off the rock to walk towards their direction.

Making it to the man's seemingly bodiless head, she tilts her head and kneels down beside them, around a meter away to give them personal space, but definitively close enough for him to hear her. Her hands wriggle against the sand, as if she's trying to feel out what the heck is going on, but she can't really figure out that his entire body is simply buried beneath the sand, especially since even her heat sense was not working for it. It'd be easier if she could see it, but she shakes her head with a giggle to herself. What a silly thought, seeing. Who needed that when you had super senses because of it? That's all she'd ever need. "Uhh, pardon me, but I can only sense your head... where's the rest of your body? Oh, also, it's nice to meet you! I'm Aura. Are you here on vacation too?" she asks in a cheerful tone, waving her hand in his general direction, unable to discern the location of his eyes considering she hadn't touched them before.

Meanwhile, a couple was screaming their hearts out at each other about something trivial in the grand scheme of things, that being the fact apparently the male of the relationship was caught gawking at another woman on their walk there. Most of what they have to say is downright unhelpful, and despite how stupid all of their bickering is, anyone could tell that a breakup could occur right then and there. The Snowflake heard this call of misguided possession, and she tilted her head towards the noise while she tried to keep her attention on the guy she just walked up to, but she seems very concerned about it to say the least. "Woof, they must be married or something..." she off handedly comments to Akaboshi, after answering appropriately to anything he has to say prior to said comment. "I kinda wanna help... do you wanna come with me? You don't seem like you're doing anything," she then offers, a gentle smile crossing her features as she awaits his answer.

The sun was high in the sky as Hoori stepped onto the scene. Abs for everyone to see, some black swimming trunks and sandals were all the man needed to have some fun. Bringing his hand up to his forehead he would block out the sun as his right eye hummed a soft blue and he looked around and smiled," Fresh sun and waves. Attractive men and women...Yes this is my summer Eden. My paradiso if you would," a small chuckle would escape his lips as the white haired male made his way across the beach. Inquisitive eyes looked to and fro as he tried to find a spot in which he could sit his towel down and go have some fun. He could see and feel the eyes on him as he walked from both genders, he knew he was handsome and had the charisma to back it up. He wouldn't approach anyone yet. No he would get a lay of the land first before enacting his usual plan. As he continued his stroll across the beach he didn't notice it or maybe he had not been paying attention but a tugging at his trunks. Stopping dead in his tracks, the semi-albino Hyuga would stop and look down to follow the stubby little hand to a small child. Leaning down to look at the child, he would tilt his head to the side and smile," What can I do for you kiddo?," the kid a bit confused at first would look at Hoori and request his help with building a castle. Just a sand castle? Well that wasn't too hard. Shrugging he would follow the kid and look at what was created before thinking of an idea.
