A cold wind blew on by as debris from a storm that had raged its way through the ancestral home of the Hozuki had been left everywhere. Windows had been blown as glass was everywhere. The docks were a mess wooden boards broken and shattered strewn everywhere as mildew from the cool sea air clung. The docks were slippery as the wind sent the wooden debris flying. The few buildings that sat on the docks were in shambles, doors were broken, window frames shattered and all the glass gone. The buildings shook back and forth, it looked like they could collapse at any moment.
A pair of red eyes that seemed to shimmer like diamonds cast their gaze onto the docks. There was a hint of annoyance reflected in those glistening hues but it vanished as quickly as it appeared. A twinkle formed as the owner of those eyes turned to face the dock manager. The dock manager was a burly man carrying a toolkit over which he laid down in front of the eyes owner. The man looked up, more specifically down at the person he was greeting. The storm had done some serious damage so he had put in a D rank mission for some assistance in repairing the docks, he had not been expecting who he got. Standing in front of the dock manager was a young girl who was rather short only four foot ten, he couldn't discern her age as she looked incredibly young. She was dress immaculately in a light purple Yukata with long sleeves, red inside silk and white cherry blossom design on the front. Around her slender waist a cerulean blue sash with a floral design. Her hair was black cut in a hime-style and let loose down her back. In her hair on both sides pink flowers. Lastly, she was wearing white tabi socks and straw waraji.
The dock manager scratched his head in confusion as he gazes the girl a look over, he had been expecting a shinobi to show up, a Genin maybe one or two, not a civilian. "Ah little girl you should leave, civilian's should be taking SHinobi Missions." Lectured the man, he didn't want the girl to get in trouble. The snow-white beauty smiled up at him and he felt his heart melt, his eyes then widened as she untied her obi sash. He threw his arms out waving them about, he didn't need this, only to stop. Beneath the obi sash tied around her body keeping the Yukata in place was a kirigakure shinobi headband. This girl was a Kunoichi. He breathed easy knowing this, little did he know that the girl in front of him was actually a boy.
Yumi giggled cutely at the dock manager's antics and spoke up in a sweet soothing voice, "Please Onii-chan I am here to help." 'She' smiled up with a beaming smile her eyes would melt even the coldest of hearts. The dock manager felt himself melting beneath her gaze and began to tell her about what he needed help with. Seeing her small frame he couldn't let her do the more physically challenging tasks, he would feel bad if something happened to such a cute little girl. But after explaining to her about the storm and how the docks needed repairing he watched as she grabbed the toolkit and rolled up her Yukata sleeves putting on a determined face, little did he know it was all an act.
Watching Yumi go to work the dock manager began to assist directing 'her' and instructing 'her' on how to repair the docks. The little 'girl' used the claw side of a hammer to rip a broken window frame apart, wearing thick woollen gloves to protect her tender hands. Yumi huffed and puffed with great effort, tossing the broken pieces aside and following the manager's instructions Yumi began inserting the new frame. Carefully measuring it out, saw away the wooden planks to fit before nailing them in. Once the window frame was in he began to carefully insert the place locking it firmly in place. Once the first window frame was repaired Yumi moved onto the next, by the tenth window the Genin collapsed onto her knees panting softly, pale in the face. His own constitution wasn't very high, nor was his stamina and the work was tiring. Taking a break to rest up, drink and eat Yumi recovered his stamina. Yumi was a scientist, a bookworm not a hard labourer but this was a job and he was in need of money. If he wasn't in desperate needed of Ryo to continue with his experiments Yumi wouldn't even be here in the first place. Yumi didn't allow the disdain for the job to show, keeping up his charming smile as he accepted a bottle of water from the manager and took a sip.
After ten minutes had passed Yumi returned to work. One of the dock buildings had been turned into a great big mess with walls collapsed. Most of the building had been removed all that remained were a few shabby walls that had somehow remained upright and would need to be destroyed for everything to be cleared. Yumi grabbed a sledgehammer and dragged it over with a great deal of effort. He hefted the hammer and almost fell over, regaining his balance Yumi gripped the hammer and swung it with all his might. The sledgehammer struck the wall and broke through. Yumi almost fell forward but caught himself. Gripping the sledgehammer he got to work.
"How humiliating! I am not some grunt. All in the name of knowledge. The funds I obtain will be small but will help advance my research." Thought the twisted 'lolita' as he swung the hammer breaking down the walls one after the other with a great deal of struggle. As Yumi worked on this half the dock manager was clearing the rubble. Watching the tiny shinobi go to work. Although it appeared 'she' was struggled 'she' was a hard working and didn't complain like others might have.
