Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You mean her byakugan?" Kageko asked. The girl might not have been too knowledgeable about the shinobi world, but she did know some of the more common facts, like the major clans and bloodlines such as the byakugan, sharingan, and mokuton. She, at the very least, had heard about them while in the academy or while doing some personal research even though she had never actually seen them personally.

Kageko nodded just as the waitress came back with her's and Havik's orders. As Kageko looked at the food, she couldn't help but feel slightly guilty, even though she had only ordered what was usually ordered in the place. "Are you sure that's all you need to eat?" the girl couldn't help but ask as she looked at the simple meal that Havik had ordered, "This place specializes in ramen, why don't you try some of it?".

"Oh, okay then," Kageko simply responded as she picked up the wooden chopsticks and took them apart while murmuring, "Itadakimasu." As Havik started eating, Kageko did as well, eating at her "normal" speed, "normal" being in quotation marks. If there was anything that living with a brother like Vincente had taught her to do, it was to eat quickly and neatly at the same time while considering such a quick pace to be normal. If she wasn't neat, there was no way she could tease her brother about being such a slob. If she didn't eat quickly, there was no way to have any food left for herself even if it was in her own bowl. As a result, Kageko finished her bowl of ramen in no time. If Havik had even bothered to watch the girl eat, it would have simply seemed as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button on Kageko while she was eating.

"Eheh, guess not," Kageko couldn't help but laugh a bit. She wasn't exactly sure why, but the situation seemed good for a little laugh so she did just that. Unsure of what else to talk about, Kageko looked around the restaurant a bit before settling with simply sipping her glass of water silently. the girl thought quietly to herself as she started to childishly blow little bubbles into the water she was drinking.

"Umm.... Not that long," Kageko replied, "Less than a year for sure. I think it may have been just three or four months. Why?".

"Oh really?" Kageko asked with a slightly embarrassed smile, "Well, I did have a lot of help from my brother and parents so I managed to get through the academy pretty quickly. Besides, maybe it would have been a better idea for me to have started later. Because I'm so small, I'm not all that strong."

Unlike Havik, Kageko really didn't have to endure any of that loneliness. For the most part, people tended to not be bothered by the fact that she had Kyuubi sealed inside of her. Why? The girl really didn't know. Although, her best guess was that it was probably sealed within her before she was adopted by the Valtieri family and became a part of the village. However, that didn't explain how her family knew that she had Kyuubi sealed within her when the rest of the village seemed so completely oblivious.

"Well, I guess so," Kageko muttered quietly, obviously not really believing what Havik had said about size not being everything. Wanting to spend as little time on that topic, the girl quickly continued on to the next part, "Well, I'm a fuuton user, but I really don't think I should learn any more jutsus. Between training with my weapons and everything, I barely have time to get in enough time to train the ninjutsus that I already have."

(OOC: Havik, do you mind if I put in the pictures for the heaven mark and earth mark?)

(OOC: Alrighty then, just asking since you're in charge of the curse marks sweatdrop .)

"Sure!" Kageko agreed eagerly, flashing a peace sign as she did so. The gesture was more for looks than anything so it really shouldn't have been taken seriously. As for the difference between his current voice and Kaku's voice, Kageko was unable to tell. To tell the truth, the girl hadn't really been paying attention the few times that Havik had talked while she was watching, if the man had talked at all while she was there. Even if she had, the distance that she had maintained from the fight would have probably kept her from hearing clearly what the two had been saying.
