Enter the Pearly Gates of Heaven. Byakugan training

The sun was scorching hot in the endless blue sky today as Kyo sat under the mango tree next to the river that runs throughout the village of Konoha. The shade made it several degrees cooler and his customary sunglasses helped his eyes with the glare. But his eye lids were closed for quite some time now. As a matter of fact he was asleep for two hours. The time now was 1:35 pm and he had just finished yet anothr mission and decided he would be taking a break for a bit. His back was propped up against the trunk of the mango tree and so was his shaggy white hair on his head. He was not a snorer and neither did he sleep with his mouth open. But rather he had his arms crossed and he was comfortable. The cool air that first passed over the water caressed his face making him fall deeper in his slumber. His breathing was constant and light as he slept. Suddenly he was kicked awake by someone.

"What the hell?!" Shouted Kyo as he sprang to his feet and glared at who kicked him.

"You've got some nerve sleeping under my mango tree." Said the person surpringly calm.

It was a woman in her early thirties with long black hair that was tied in a plait. She was shorter than him as well. But her eyes did not betray her tone of voice. They brown and kind and Kyo had no choice but to calm himself when he looked at them. She wore a short tight demon jeans pants, flip flops that were grey in color and a white strap top.

"I don't see your name on this tree." Replied Kyo trying to be annoying more than disrespectful as he continued to look at her straight in the eyes.

"Well that's rude." She retorted.

"What is?"

"Looking at someone straight in the eye like that."

"No its not. Its not like you're ugly or anything." Said Kyo still staring.

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?"

"Take how you want miss." He said getting up and stretching and dusting his pants bottom, "I'm done sleeping. What is your name anyway?"

"Jesse. And you?" She said finally relaxing.

"Jesse huh? Well nice to meet you. I am Kyo of the Hyuuga clan." Replied Kyo as he offered a hand for her to shake and she did.

"I do live in this village you know. And even with those sunglasses, those Pearl eyes are unmistakable." She said proudly.

"Pretty and smart. You have an escort Miss Jesse?"

"I can take care of myself." She said again tensing up.

"Hey relax. That isn't what I asked you." He said smiling.

"OK fine. I don't have an escort."

"Good. Then I will be yours forever. How about that?"

"Huh? You don't even know me."

"True. But I feel as if I've known you for a lifetime. Come on let's eat." He said extending his hand again for her to hold which she did. She could not help how big and warm his hands felt on hers. For some reason she felt really safe.

Looking at the forehead protector tied around his neck she asked him if he was a real shinobi and of course he said yes. He liked that about her; how observant she was. He asked her what she wanted to eat and to his surprise she just wanted a bowl of ramen. She told him she was not accustomed to men buying her anything and offered to pay. He said no but he liked her even more. Smart and independent. He sat and told her what he had been through so far in his journey to become stronger and she was truly amazed. She did not even try to control the conversation but they listened to each other and the sun started to set. They both were surprised how fast the time had flown. He offered to walk her home and she accepted. As they rounded the corner, a group of about twelve men were hanging out and had the demeanor on them that they were looking for trouble. Jesse wanted to pass another way but Kyo did not care. As a matter of fact he wished they did attack him.

As the group saw Kyo and Jesse walking towards them they turned all their attention to them. Kyo realizing what was going on decides that he would at first talk to them and toss whatever doubts he had about them out the window. He made sure Jesse was behind him as he walked toward them but they were walking toward him and Jesse as well. Now, these guys, all twelve of them looked like they were intent on beating the living hell out of Kyo and who knows what would they do to Jesse. With each step, he felt that diplomacy and the chance of it was getting less and less. And with each step he was getting more and and more angry which he was afraid himself for because whenever he usually is like this he never backs out from a fight.

They group of guys all dressed alike. Denim three quarter pants and white t shirts. And black boots on their feet. Each of them had a sword. A katana to be exact while Kyo and Jesse had nothing. Interesting to say the least.

"Nice bitch you got there son! Hand her over and all your cash and we let you live. How about that?"

They all laughed and Kyo only sighed and they laughed some more. A second later, Kyo had one of the men's rib cage caved in from a single blow from his elbow. Then crashed the instep of his foot into the face of another with an upsidedown roundhouse. He crouched down and came back up with a hard uppercut to another chin breaking his jaw. Kyo flipped back and readied himself.
