Slipping in from behind the wake of a new customer heading into the cafe, Kagerou slipped in behind the man completely blended in to his surroundings. He was paranoid in that way, walking slowly to be careful of not bumping into someone or something while keeping silent. The medical boy never made a public appearance when he could help it, preferring to lay low and keep to the dark ever since he had the demon with him.
There was talk, rumor however but it was talk, about the one tailed host and it caught his attention. The incompetent Jonin of the grass, with a tiny bounty of ten thousand. It wasn't worth to expose the boy of any possible crime in order to claim his own need for cash. It was not worth the effort.
He had however a few concerns with his publicity as of late. A few tidbits of his insect colony gave word that he was going by a disguise. Whatever for he had wondered, wanted to investigate it. Kagerou quietly stood in the middle of the shop, invisible to all and silent as he moved as this was the last place he had 'seen' him, seen being from his few beetles. The critters were not very bright, but a man in a mask is hard to miss even for the simplistic mind of a bug. But he loved the bugs all the same, they were the only living beings he cherished truly.
' Why are you here? The Roach is worried? Ohohoho... ' the demon spoke in the recess of his mind, but the Aburame ignored it and only methodically surveyed the cafe. His concern of him making a public scene would draw attention to himself.
Kagerou had no time for that s**t.
He wasn't there as he looked around before his illusionary cloak dispersed, his form coming into existence and he played it off as a shunshin arrival. His sudden appearance startled several people but he displayed no emotion with his sunglasses. Pulling out a seat, he sat, ordered and waited.
In the ruse of being an ordinary customer, a few thin lines of chakra spread out in the cafe, each invisible to the naked eye but a Kikaichu beetle came from each strand and directly to the Aburame.

Armand would look to the side of himself as a Kagerou passed by him. "Hey, hey, what's the hurry?~" He'd ask him as he passed by in his sing-songy voice. Armand was rather intent on buying at least somebody something to eat or drink. Nobody ever seemed to like to take his offers, despite their sincerity.
And then suddenly, something was quite amiss. Kagerou's form changed to something much...different. Armand's close proximity caused a rather un-professional "eep" and a backflip up the ceiling. He hooked the toe bit of his shoes overtop a water pipe. His quick startling was quickly overcome with joy as he began to swing back and forth on the pipe. Fun things would be fun. "I see...little tiny beetles and sunglasses~". He'd observe as he swung and looked at Kagerou. "You must be an Aburame. You types all got that look about you. I'll cover your tab, so order whatever you want plus what you got~" Armand would tell him, eager to make a friend. Grass had been very impersonal. No new friends, no allies. Everybody was very objective, or rather mean and distant.
"I guess I'll bite. Why do you keep your beetles outside of you today?~"
xxxxxDominic received his coffee, two sugars, and they were light on the use of cream. Perfect. The Heiland removed his sunglasses as he noticed the plethora of fellow Kusa shinobi that were brooding so hard. That was his job. The genin took him some coffee, stretching a little in his seat so he could actually wake up. To Akane and Aki, he gives an honest smile and nod. To Armand, he gently waves as a show of acquaintanceship. He took another sip of his coffee, sighing in relief as they had gotten his order right.

Akane pushed the bowl of rice back as she poured herself another cup of the sake. Her attention was far from being split when a couple of strangers walked in, focused on Aki when she spoke of her spat with Arekku. Injuries? Battle injuries, she meant? No, that can't be it.. Aki would take pride in her battle injuries, and go on and on about the techniques she used to take down her opponent. Plus, the injuries, knowing the Chiru woman, would be much more severe if she went all out. Aki paused for a moment, letting Akane soak in the argument briefly before continuing to finish her rant. What did Aki have to hide from Arekku? Sounds like she let those injuries become inflicted on herself, and Arekku's investigation into the issue is what's causing her to retaliate in such a way. Either she caused those injuries on herself or someone wanted to hurt her, and she let them do so. Either way, her demand for privacy, even from Akane, seemed to strike a red flag. However, even the raven-haired woman knew better than to meddle in Aki's affairs- it was crossing boundaries that were clearly none of her business, despite that they were like sisters.
The only thing Akane could do was offer a little insight, and avoid letting her need to protect her best friend overcome her. She was quiet for a while, as though deep in thought before speaking up, "I get that." She really did. Akane was big on privacy, even with her husband. In fact, the whole reason she snuck out of the hotel was so that she could finally drink to her hearts content without him covering over her and telling her she's at her limit. Sometimes, the beauty wanted to be ugly for a while, so she can remember every bad decision in her life and think about how she can prevent Lydia and Andriel from doing the same. "I mean, Yumi does it with me a lot. Maybe not the injuries," She said with a smirk, pouring in another cup of sake and shooting it down, "but the need for privacy. I always found it easier and faster to handle my problems on my own. But in a sense, Arekku is only speaking because he's concerned for you. If I were him, I would have let you know that I was there for you to talk to when you wanted to, but I don't think it was right for him to just engage himself into your problems.
"You've got every right to be pissed, privacy's an important thing that helps us maintain our individualism." She said with a smile, chucking down yet another cup of sake. She didn't want to outright state it, but even Akane wanted to know how she got these injuries- did she ask for it? or did she ASK for it? If Aki screwed up and got herself those injuries, the raven-haired would be rather blunt and say, 'you had it coming; you gotta be more careful next time.' Every other possibility would likely leave Akane either A) torn and unsure how to feel or B) irritated. Anger would only exist if Aki openly admitted those injuries were unwanted.. but until then.. the situation could be alot worse than it is. Suddenly, interrupting her thoughts was a man who stormed in with his eyes bugged out, shocked and excited were the only two emotions stimulating his words: "THERE'S A NEW SHOGUN!!" He shouted, "HIS NAME IS AREKKU... UHH... SOMETHING SOMETHING..." His voice started to fade as he jolted towards a crowd of people who were pleased with his announcement. "Speak of the devil," Akane commented with a smirk, "Maybe you should congratulate him later?" She said, taking another shot.

Eccentric and Analytically Accurate. Kagerou looked at the strange one whom had leaped up toward the ceiling like a monkey. Good athletics he noted mentally, pushing his glasses up further. His bugs gathered near and he accepted them back into their safe haven. It wasn't like Kagerou to be distracted by another person but he gathered their tidbits of information from each beetle, letting Choumei decipher such things.
"Observant, aren't you?' He said simply as a waitress gave him what he had ordered just a moment before, a simple cup of plain green tea. Kagerou didn't want to be bothered, but he might as well speak to avoid more attention.
"Well. I've been following the whereabouts of Testial Uchiha, at least my bugs have been." he said slowly, sipping his tea and noted the man's generous coverage. "That is kind of you, to cover the tab. I'll owe you a small favor for this."
"What is this? The Roach is friendly? Ohohoho. What are you, sad, depressed? Want your mommy? Ohohoho." Choumei mockingly laughed in the recess of his mind but Kagerou didn't respond, only blatantly ignored the p***k.
" Damn roach. " he said aloud, speaking the insult to himself as he intended it for Choumei. Kagerou looked up and let out a small breath of air. He was talking now, might as well fit in. " The name's Kagerou, it means Dragonfly. " he introduced himself " I work for the medical corps and I hu--track shinobi as my profession, what about you? "
As he asked questions and introduced himself, in the mean time some one had burst into the cafe, shouting about a new Shogun. This caught the medic's attention briefly as he heard the name, sipping his tea as well. Now where did he hear this name before?

Kagerou with a friend? What is this blasphemy.

Armand let himself slide off the piping and landed back on his feet with a bit of a fluid cartwheeling motion. He laughed a little at the part about being observant. "It's just how a group of people are.~" He'd explain to him. "For instance, outside of the Aburame, you could tell an Uchiha from the rest by his dress, hair, and brooding demeanor. For a Heiland, you could simply wait until he reveals how flamboyantly homosexual they are~" He'd laugh at his own jibe and spin himself around happily, landing himself in a seat next to Kagerou.
"Testial...Uchiha. Oh! Him. I saw him by the lake a while ago after he pinned his vest on the gates. To each his own, but his method of going rogue was rather overly dramatic and foolish. I could've struck him down with good authority if the job at hand wasn't worth triple what he was~". He threw his head back to look at the ceiling, almost seeming to count out the lightbulbs with rapid movements of his eyes.
"You don't need to hide it from me, we're all part of the same armed force. You hunt, you kill. They run, they die~" He sung out and motioned for the waitress to give him a cup of green tea as well. "As per my profession well...I don't really have one. People are very cold in this village, I've never really had a squad or team to work at things with. All I can say is what the Kusakage's file says about me. I'm very, very hard to break~" And it was true. If Kagerou were to turn at Armand with a kunai and stab him...things wouldn't work out as he planned.
"Besides, what good is a profession when I have no specialization? No goals? I just like to exist. I guess my goal is to make it long enough to see what happens when this whole world cracks apart~" He'd look at Kagerou with shut eyes and a big grin. Childlike and innocent...sincere...but just a tad creepy.
xxxxxAll she needed to hear was the wise words of Akane. That woman had always had of speaking right to the heart of Aki's issues. Sometimes all she ever needed, all any woman ever needed, was to hear you are right. But Akane could do just more than that. Akane not only eased Aki by letting her know she was in the right about the need for privacy, but she also gave some opposition to her beliefs. Aki knew that Arekku had only spoken out of concern, in fact she had been the first to yell. She ran a hand through her hair, knocking the hood off momentarily. As she pulled it back she glanced about at the other patrons and caught sight of Dominic's honest smile. Aki had calmed enough, thanks to the alcohol and Akane, to give him a small smile before turn back to her glass and dear friend. The deflation of her anger was obvious as everything about her softened. She dropped the twisted straw back into the glass, frowning lightly as it's mangled shape would not allow it to remain upright.
xxxxx"I know what he really was intending. Had the tables been flipped I would have been acting the same way. I shouldn't have blown up. I know that. It's just that I was already upset and I guess I really didn't know what to expect from him..." She trailed off just as some man off the street burst through the doors and began to shout. The announcement caused ever muscle in her body to freeze. What... was that? A new shogun? Arekku? Shogun? How? Aki quickly searched her brain for any reason as to why Arekkusu Morinaga, who had been born in Kumo and whisked away to Kusa, had claim to be the lord of all Kusa no Kuni. The Shogun of the Huan-Pei Dynasty. How? How? How? Then it fell upon her like a load of bricks. His Uncle was Huan Pei Xiba, the former Shogun. He must have selected Arekku as his successor. "What the ********> She hissed looking at Akane with wide eyes. "I'm ********, aren't I?" Here she sat with a few drops of gin left in her glass, having just blown a hole in her friendship with the new Shogun. With a heavy groan she laid her head on the bar. She felt a pang of hypocritical anger, why had he not told her he was selected as the heir. Surely he must have known, things like that don't get sprung on a person. Aki turned her head slightly to peer at the Uchiha through her pinkish bangs, "What should I do, Akane? I'm still mad, but I know I was totally in the wrong. And now he's gonna kick me out of Kusa no Kuni. I'll have to go retire in the Spring village and be a store owner or like... a potato farmer." She was of course joking. The four shots worth of gin had definitely taken the edge off her mood. But a small part of her brain truly wondered if he was going to kick her out of the country. He could if he wanted.

He kept his head down with a sad facial expression before finding a place to sit. A waitress walked up to him and asked what he wanted. "regular coffee please." he said as he nodded and walked back into the kitchen. Yami looked down, and reverted back to his depressed facial expression. "She used him as a gift." he said. His grudge against kya only grew bigger. He then looked at the wrapped up blade he had in his hand. He then turned his head to the white blade, test's signature blade.

Kagerou finished off what was left of his green tea. The demon spoke more in the recess of his mind of various vulgar bug related insults and mocking jeers, yet he ignored the pompous p***k. So he had gone rogue, yet this could have been nothing more than speculation and rumor. But if he had... The medic's hand shook as he crushed the porcelain cup with his bare hand, sending splintering shards of it all over and the remains of his tea over his now bloodying hand.
The demon inside of his head kept mocking and speaking in a sing song voice, Kagerou did his best to ignore it. " I should have killed the fool when time permitted it. But no matter." he said, talking to himself as his skin was already mending as a few of the black bugs scrambled across his flesh, each of them using medical chakra to stitch his wounds and reveal not even a scar when they were finished.
He looked around, noticing his shattering of the glass had caught attention but he dismissed it altogether. He had been absently listening to the boy, still unknown of name but he trained his peripheral sight on him anyways.
" The people of this village can suck it sometimes. I do my own thing, but they seem to avoid you when you have a gigantic "d**k"roach residing just inside of your skull and stomach. " He said it loud enough for Armand to hear but low enough for other people to not hear, yet the demon inside of him had heard it plain as day too.
" DICKROACH! WHO YOU CALLING THAT YOU POMPOUS EMO BROWN HAIRED BUG SHITTING s**t!? "
The demon's outburst in his head made Kagerou smile and content with angering Choumei. "Choumei is mad, hnhn." he said to himself. He turned his gaze on Armand now and blinked once, he was strange but he appealed to the medic in an odd way. Was he oblivious or maybe a dunce? Kagerou wanted to study him mentally now, it interested him further.
"You're same as I, no real focus on trade. Perhaps you and I could work together, even be..." Kagerou paused as he pushed up his glasses as the waitress came, absently he pulled out a generous amount of ryo to pay whatever it was she was blathering on about and he told her to go away and shut it for the time being. "...friends. How about it?"

Armand quickly drank down his own tea when it arrived and shrugged. "Doesn't matter anymore. Word through the grapevine is that he's already met his end~" Armand couldn't help stifle a bit of a giggle. Just the thought was funny to him, but he never really meant it in a mocking or cruel way. "Such is life~".
He set the cup down and slid it to the side. "Choumei, hmm?~" The thought of demons often excited him. More accurately, he probably wanted to try wrestling one. "Let it be, he'll be in perpetual check for the rest of his existence~" He observed, noting how well shinobi have kept them contained. "Work is always good. Friends are always good too. I accept~" He said in his usual song-like voice and paid for his own cup of tea as well. "Bounty hunting might be fun~"

At the very moment she entered the Cafe, the tiny, beady eyes seemed to zoom her direction. Mentally she blocked herself from the others by staring downwards and following Yami's feet to the finely adorned table. Vivian breathed deeply as she dug her bosom into the seat and gazed upwards only to meet her company's innocent eyes. Once again, she got that dark notion from the boy. What exactly was he? It was unmistakably strong, pungent-like if you will. Once the female server came to collect orders she politely asked for a tea and awaited the conversation. ********, more talking. [/exit]
