Missing People in Hoshi!!

Mission::

Joro rolled over, not wanting to get out of bed. But he knew he had to get going, so with a heavy sigh, he forced himself to sit up and stretch out his arms and legs. He rubbed his eyes, trying to shake off the drowsiness that still clung to him.

As he stood up, he felt his muscles protest to the sudden movement, but he pushed through. He knew that he had a lot to do today, and he couldn't afford to waste any time. So he took a deep breath, straightened his back, and stepped forward, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead. He quickly checked on Stout to make sure he was still sleeping, and he was.

Joro quickly hopped in the shower, got rinsed off, and cleaned himself. He got out and shaved quickly as he was ready to get going now. He brushed his teeth as he got dressed. And styled his hair a bit, and turned to see Stout was waking up. It seemed the Stoat preferred catching his food in the morning. So Joro has been sure to not set aside food for him, it only seemed to make him moody. As Joro drank his tea he sat down at a small table in his apartment scribbling a few things down, working through a few thoughts. He got a letter at the door, he had been assigned to an A-rank mission. He was to meet with four others within an hour. He quickly got dressed in some classic dress-style pants, and a green button-down shirt, with the top two buttons open. He threw on some bracelets to fidget with on his way over and during the mission. He noticed the rain and decided to throw on a trim jacket holding his muscular arms tight. He finished his tea, grabbed an apple, and washed it off. And headed out the door, Katana at the hip. Stout jumped to his side as they made their way down the stairs.

"You ready to go? Yeah? Okay," and woosh they were off to the University.

Joro grabbed a bench and sat comfortably with Stout waiting.

Morning rays penetrated the oblique windows, while the floating dust captured the golden highlights of sunlight reaching through the dew-filled air. In this luminescent room of ethereal light and soft, serene energy, Mizaki Hyuuga awoke. She slid out of bed in her studio apartment with a peaceful sense of grace. Into the bathroom, where she reveled in the depths of her peaceful mind, the source of the potent, dignified, restrained appeal with which she faced the day. The woman looked at herself in the mirror, and the beaming blue hair that snaked from her head to her shoulders and over her pastel blue blouse had barely a tangle within it, she must have slept peacefully the night before.

Her eyes were bright and bold, challenging her reflection with an intensity birthed of intelligence and fed upon calm certainty. Her assurance was woven beneath sturdy, brooding brows: a force to be aware of but entirely disarmingly approachable. A look that assures those who look upon her that she is a young woman who knows her power but still seeks her path, with pure skin white as polished bone. Soft, dew-refracted light highlighted the cheekbones sprouted beneath it and smooth jaw lines. Soft, pink lips, defining a beauty without makeup, looked up with eyes of soft, pure kindness and intrigue in the world around her.

She wrapped herself in a white kimono, barely held in place by the broad sash of the color of a clear day’s sky. It was tied in the back. It draped over her slender form, dancing with caresses upon her shape and occasionally with flaring when she darted in her accustomed rapid pace. Her occupation demanded freedom of movement, but black fabric wrapped around a human body was only functionally valuable for how it looked simultaneously. It was flexibly modest, but everything she wore showed her discipline and patience; each sash fold and sleeve crease was scrupulous. She looked at them in the mirror and arranged one of her rogue hair strands behind her ear. Her fingers were neat and delicate, her face in simple contemplation and satisfaction. The hints of power and unshakable serenity faintly pulled at her features. 

The sun gently caressed the village of Hoshigakure awake, and Mizaki Hyuuga stepped outside her modest flat and emerged into the livelier parts of the town. The air was clean and resolved with the smell of flowers and the rain from the night before, accompanied by the background hum of morning village life. The villagers did their business, and she walked through the gatherings with the elegance of a swan. Her steps were measured with grace, and they led her to a busy tea shop in the heart of the village. The exterior and interior were made of warm wood and soft stone, and the hanging signs were the only way of telling the entrance to any other part of the shop. 

She had meandered her way through the tea shop and sat at the first table she could find. She knew that she had been tasked with a rather exciting mission today, to accompany some folks for a mission that would be taking place at the academy, but yet she didn't feel the need to rush. She was reasonably sure she would still be the first to report for duty. As she finished her tea, she stood, activated her Byakugan and began progressing to the Academy. 

Gliding through the village, she found herself at the Academy, and just as she had thought, nobody else was there that was part of the mission. She would stand there and wait, using her Byakugan to scan the surrounding areas, ensuring she was not caught off guard.

Sephy was barely awake when the maids tapped on her door to deliver a letter. Maybe a mission with her team, or a request to meet someone or a simple letter from someone saying hi….the possibilities were endless! She was dressed in her favorite pajamas, all white with black skulls and crossbones on them. She took the letter politely thanking the maid for bringing it to her.
A mission…but not with her team…with other people? Now the name that stood out the most was a fellow clan member, Mizaki. She had heard mention of the name because they were in the same clan but she had never met her. But she got the whole point of this, Team Fuku had been only really around each other, and in order for them to continue being able to work as a team, they had to work with others as well! No problem she could do this, she had been doing well getting out lately and Ayato and Toneri had actually complimented the whole team on getting out and expanding their horizons since arriving in Hoshi!
Sephora had also changed her style upon request of her cousins, after all they had a point, black leather was difficult to fight in! Though she has grown accustomed to it, if you are changing one thing, change everything. Fresh starts are just that, you wipe the slate clean and start over.
Today she wore some black leggings with a cute pink mid thigh short skirt over them and a black and pink strappy tank top to match. On Sephora's back, showing as plain as day, was her other tattoo she had for about 3 years now, Dante had the same one on his back as well. Both were proud of the fact they were hybrids. Two red circles symbolizing Kaguya, one on each shoulder blade and in between the two circles on her spine, was the Hyuuga clan symbol!
On Sephora's arms were two elbow length black gloves with holes in them and the holes were supported by metal around the edges, these were her bone claw gloves that helped support her bone claws when she used them. Her White waist length thick hair was pulled up in a ponytail on top of her head and a small thin black ribbon choker was adorning her neck. She doesn't wear makeup or nail polish, though she has a nice complexion and her nails were quite beautiful because she does keep up maintenance on them.
Stepping out the door she headed to the area to meet up with the others. She spotted one of them ahead her sitting on a bench, she knew very well who this was! She saw a creature sitting with him and it peaked her interest.
“What is that?” She asked as she carefully reached out to touch it with a finger. She waited on the okay from Joro to touch his pet! “So I see we are working together on a mission today?” Seph casually said and asked the man whom she found out is her cousin through her mother!

Youta would be working in his fathers forge when a young academy student would come into the shop looking for him.  He would bow and hand Youta a letter about a mission.  He would open it and see that there are missing women getting kidnapped in one of the districts of Hoshigakure.  He would read and try to find out more details about what is going on.  So apparently someone is targeting young women 18-25.  It seems to be more of the poorer district near the temples by the university.   So Youta would then head to get a quick shower and then would grab his stuff and would start to head towards the university,  

He would then see Joro, Sephora and Mizaki and would walk up to the group.   “Hey Everyone how are all of you doing today?  It is nice to you all again. Joro it is always cool to see you,  Sephy nice to see you again.  You are Mizaki right we did some low ranking missions earlier right?”. He would turn to them and then his tone would change and Youta would get more serious and say “So we are here to investigate a number of missing women.  So no offense to you ladies but until we know what we are up against I would prefer you two stay close and do not do any individual investigations.  But we should start with the latest victim who went to university.  So if one of you ladies would interview the roommate or close friends.  The other 2 of us will go to the crime scene and see the police and the city guards.  They may have some evidence that may help. Thats what I think anyways anyone else have any ideas?”
