Village Gate (Fake)

First topic message reminder :

Two large earth pillars that once marked the entrance of the Hidden Earth Village. After the village's destruction the two pillars continued to stand, allowing any onlookers to believe that the village is still just as strong as it once was. Two earth shinobi constantly watch the entrance, ready to alert the surviving members of the village should any force come to their door.

"We'll probably see each other around someplace or something. You can call me Midori."

Hitomi brightened up a tad when she heard that phrase. Then, she said,

"Midori still means 'green', so I guess I'll just make up a name for you. You'll have your own personal nickname....hmmm. What should I call you?"

The girl pondered, unable to decide what name would suit Amazora, then, suddenly, Amazora bent down- yes, BENT DOWN, and handed her parasol to Hitomi.

"If ya have this, it means we'll hafta meet again some time. By the look of the sky, the world's full of rain."

Hitomi looked at the parasol with big eyes, and then unexpectedly said something quite intelligent.

"Ame-Atsuri-chan...(Miss. Kind Rain or Rain of Kindness), if the world's full of rain, then we don't need to meet face to face to meet again. The rain will connect us. Domo Arigato Gozaimasu..."

Before Hitomi could take the parasol, though, Amazora had already started off with the other ninja, and the parasol lay limp on the ground where it had fallen. It had fallen soundlessly- and a few moments after it had fallen and the two ninja were well out of sight, the rain started falling. Sniffling, Hitomi hesitantly picked up the parasol quite carefully and held it in her hands, allowing the rain to soak both her and the parasol.

The trees began to sway as the wind and rain blew with renewed fury. Two figures materialized in front of the former Iwagakure Gates, surrounded temporarily by a nimbus of green light. As soon as the light disappeared, Hitomi once again gaped, amazed, before recovering from a reverie in a surprisingly short amount of time- and once again propping Amazora's uninjured arm over her shoulders and almost carrying her to the gates, yelling,

"Injured-nin, injured-Iwa-ninja here! Is there anybody here??!"

When only silence greeted them, Hitomi gave a sigh of pure exasperation and stomped the ground in a rather angry way. She had also, unbeknownst to herself, charged the stomping foot with chakra, activating her "Iron Boots". The ground beneath both her and Amazora collapsed- and they fell ten feet into what must have been a cement prison-pit, for as soon as they had fallen, the top of the pit had rumbled. A hidden mechanism rasped- and a grille appeared above them, sealing them in the pit.

"What?!??!"

Had Hitomi remained as calm as she should have remained (she was, after all, a ninja), she might have noticed the little patch of cement that did not quite match that of the rest of the pit's workings. It was rough and to the observant eye, quite indicative of a patched escape tunnel...*into* the village.
