Kira sighed softly, looking out from her kage tower. Even though it was snowing around most places, the magma's heat chambers below the village kept the place at a soft warmth, making one want to enjoy the weather over staying inside and doing the paperwork piling up on her desk.... She glanced back, sighing and going to her desk, sitting and doing the work she'd been putting aside. She was still thinking about her lost assistant, Rumiko. She had cared greatly for him, and whenever she got too focused on the work, he was there to take her out of it, sort of the opposite of what an assistant should do, but she needed it. She placed the seventh paper aside as she leaned back in her chair before getting up. She needed some air, and to see what was going on in her village, as was he job. She wondered where her assistant was at this time as well, as she left out of the tower, taking a deep breath and smiling as she began her walk-through.
