The heat of the volcano reached near and far but for Lee, it was always too close. Walking into the Kazangakure lands brought about a sudden change, like one could tell right then and there when they entered by the sudden shift in the air and temperature. These of course never sat well with Lee as he would have to sludge through the area at a little under normal pace in order to keep himself feeling even remotely normal. He could only hope that one day he could change something about the location or at least convince someone to do something about the water, water was the number one thing that was lacking over other things.

Lee now stood in front of the large cave-like entrance that was the way into the Ouraboros base and it was quite something. This place would never be found by anyone, looking for it or otherwise, it had that sort of aura about it that seemed to make a person want to overlook it entirely, as if it wasn't there at all. He would simply stand there, right there, in the middle of the entrance, inside the doorway but still outside of the base.

Rina lay at the doorway curled up as she laid waiting until she sensed the presence of someone at the doorway running out she runs into a man who was just standing at the entrance. Rina didn't acknowledge this man at all looking around she starts to cry. She was feeling abandoned and worthless. This girl was going to make herself sick if she kept on this way about whatever was making her feel this way. Getting up wiping her face she goes back inside looking at the floor a bag of blocks she had to play with. Building a model village she stops and goes to find something to use as villagers. Coming back with twigs she breaks them up into small parts to create a large number of villagers throughout her village. She begins her destruction of the village by jumping in the center of the village and slapping buildings and stick villagers around to the other side of the main room.  She was enjoying herself like when she first killed that the people of where she used to live. After a few minutes of destruction of her makeshift village she goes into the kitchen and scavenges around for something to eat crying. This girl had to have the more problems than A kage who was five months backed up on paper work, but what did you expect from an eight year old who lived with a bunch of killers who probably gave little to no care about anyone else, but themselves and pleasing their leader.

The tall silver haired male stood in silence but with a smile still on his lips as the sounds of someone approaching caught his ear and then there was a sudden bump. He would turn his attention around....and then down. They would fall onto a small child that had come running from the base of the Ouraboros to which would imply that she was one of them which, in all rights, seemed off to any normal person. The girl then burst into tears and ran away, just as quickly as she had appeared which put a questionable look upon his face.

He took a moment before walking inside and watching her actions, taking blocks and building something and then she ran off again. She sure was an odd enough child and as she came back, she held twigs of different sizes and shapes and put them in with the blocks and it started to resemble a place of some sort....that she then proceeded to destroy. It was entertaining enough to watch as he would walk over and crouch down a few feet from the wreckage and pick up a block that had been thrown from the wreckage and stare at it with his slit-like eyes "Enjoying yourself?"

Rina turns to the tall silver haired man nodding her head to his question she starts to rebuild the village, but instead of destroying the blocks she puts them in her mouth and starts to eat them along with the twigs and sticks. She was getting tired of playing with these blocks. Turning back to Lee she begins to stare off at his hair as it had that look that it was shiny since it was silver. Pointing at his hair she begins to wag her tail and she starts to cry as you can hear the sound of her stomach growling with hunger. Rina opens her mouth pointing to it showing her two rows of razor sharp teeth. She wasn't the type that liked to be hungry and when she was hungry everything in sight was food to her. After crying herself sick she starts to bite on her tail as if it was food. This girl appetite was never going to stop no matter what she ate even if it was a whole deer.

Lee continued to watch with a mild amusement at the on goings of the small girl. She soon began to chew on the blocks and even the twigs were not safe as she began to chew on them as well. Finally, she turned her attention to Lee's presence and looked to his head, more over, his hair it seemed. She began to point and soon, her stomach began to speak as well and she began to signal for food. The first thing he took note of was the toothy mouth she had, quite sharp indeed and soon, she turned on her self, chewing on her tail. His smile never faltered as he threw the block he held over his shoulder and reached into his overcoat and pulled out a roll of bread and held it down, wagging it playfully in front of her face to get her attention.

"Hungry~?"

Rina quickly looks up towards the silver haired man when she smells the air looking at the roll of bread in his hands. Rina quickly nods her head to the man's question reaching out for the bread slowly not knowing what kind of food he had in his hand. The only think she ate was meat and nothing else so this new thing she was being introduced to her didn't look nothing like meat, but at this moment she could careless if it was meat or not as long as it satisfied  her hunger at the moment until she could go into the jungle to find something to eat. Rina puts her hand upon the roll to feel that it was soft. She then leans into the roll licking it to taste it after getting a taste of the roll she bites it all the way up to the silver haired man's fingers. She then begins to lick her teeth to get the remaining of the bread roll of her teeth and runs up to the man hugging him for giving her something to eat. Rina loved the taste of the roll and she wanted to get another one.

Lee watched closer now as he was interacting with the small child more. She seemed more than interested in the food he had to offer to which he was more than happy to hand over to her and watched as she was a bit hesitant at first, like it was an object she had never seen before but it didn't take long for her to chomp down and take the bread without a second thought. He let go of the bread and moved his hands back to his sides as he simply watched. When she finished, she looked to him for what he would assume to be more food. He looked down at her as she rushed to him and hugged his legs. He would then place a hand down onto her head and rubbed it "Enjoyed it that much did you?"

He would then reach down and take hold of the nap of the girls shirt and aim to lift her from the ground and up to eye level and would aim to looked her up and down "And what would your name be?"

Rina feels her bare feet leave the floor as she came face to face with the man who gave her the roll when he asked for her name the mute child begins to look around for something to use to spell out her name. She pulls on the reversed spike collar removing one spike far enough so she can bleed. She then dab her tail in the blood using it as ink writing on her left arm "My Name Is Rina Mara." and on her right arm saying "what is your's?". This was her only way of talking with someone besides her usual method of nodding and shaking her head in disapproval. The child beings to grunt and squirm around holding her legs close together and crying almost if she was in pain or undergoing some kind of transformation.

Lee watched as the little girl moved her hand down to a collar around her neck and pulled on it to reveal its less than humane nature but who was he to judge what others do. He let his head tilt just enough so that he could make out the writing they she began to draw on herself using her own blood to which was strangely satisfying for him to see. "Rina...Mara. What a wonderful way to get acquainted Rina." He would then look over to her other writings and then point to himself "Ketsueki. Lee Ketsueki." He then watched once more as she began to squirm around, shifting and turning in his grip.

He would lower her down and release her onto the ground where he had picked her up and watched now to see what she might do, but not before rubbing his thumb along her arm, smearing the blood words of 'what is your's?' in the process.

Rina starts to bounce up and down as she held the bottom of her shirt. Rina was a troublesome child child to take care of. Suddenly a wet spot started to form on the floor were she stood and her face showing that of someone who is relieved. She begins to stare at her pants then at the puddle she was standing in. She runs off and brings back three of her shirts and a pair of pants, she begins to mop up the spot using her shirts and changes pants. Rina stares at Lee as she makes herself disappear for a brief second then appearing two feet away from Lee. Rina sits down watching Lee to see if he does something incredible in front of her eyes since she did something for him. Lee was the only person that has caught Rina's attention long enough so she would not have to kill him if she lost interest.

Lee's head rose and fall with the bouncing motions of the little girl as the first thing through his mind was simply that she was just a little ball of energy. But then she stopped and his attention then brought itself down to the floor where a new addition had added itself and he laughed hesitantly. It wasn't a situation he knew quite how to deal with. They were both now starring at the ground and the puddle she was standing in until she ran off, only to come back with another change of clothes....that she soon used to clean up her mess. At least she had enough sense in her to do that much. After she got through cleaning up what she could, she changed into another pair of pants and then...disappeared? It was random to say the least but it was interesting enough. He found her not to far away as she sat down and stared at him, as if waiting for him to do something.

Well, he wasn't about to mimic her past action, that was for sure but then he paused...he rose his hand up that he had wiped the blood from her arm and placed it in his mouth and sucked on it for a bit and then, as he pulled his thumb out, he bit onto the skin "Blood release, bloody sword." and then, the once almost dripping thumb of blood flicked around and formed three shuriken in between his fingers.

Rina eyes widen with surprise when Lee does his jutsu turning his blood into a weapon. She runs to Lee with her hands extended. Rina wanted to taste the blood shurikens. Rina starts to cry at the thought of being left alone in the hideout without her mother and she wanted to leave this place. Rina was tired of looking at these four walls. Any normal person would have left when the chance presented itself to them, but Rina wasn't a normal person or sane to begin with. She starts to stand on her head watching Lee upside down waiting for something interesting to happen in this place. After standing on her head for a while she gets up running for the hideout entrance. Rina wanted to get out of this place and find something more up to beat with action. Before leaving she turns to Lee mimicking an explosion. From what it looked like it seemed that she wanted to go out and destroy stuff .

Lee was interested enough watching the actions of the small child as she was fascinated by the make-shift weapons. She jumped and ran to him and acted as if she wanted to hold the weapons or move over, eat them. She suddenly began to cry, for what reason, it was unknown but he let his arms cross over his chest and she then begins to turn over and stand on the top of her head to which Lee would lean to the side and turn his head upside to mimic her own actions though not actually standing on his head. This child sure was just that, a child. Not being able to keep her mind on any one thing for longer than a few moments before growing bored and trying to move onto something else.

He let himself straighten out as he watched her run to the entrance and throw her hands into the air in the mimic of some sort of explosion. He took in a deep breath and walked to the entrance and placed a hand atop her head and rubbed it in a playful manner "in all due time Rina. Let's go get you something to eat.
