Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kuroda rolled her eyes again, this time at Katsume.

"You put way too much thought into things," she said, "I never said anything about 'disturbing the peace' or whatever it was you said. Really. You need to think less."

She paused for a second, reviewing what she said in her mind, then smiled.

"No, wait," she said, "Never think less. That's a terrible thing. Just think more clearly next time."

*Kengen calmly walked into the room. He pulled out a box of Ramen noodles, and warmed it up. No one seemed to notice that he was there. He sat down and started eating. Still no one saw him there. This was oddly funny, yet too good to be true. He slurped his noodles on purpose to get their attention. They all jumped when they saw Kengen sitting there. He puts the noodles aside, and greets them*

Kengen: It is good to see you all here. How are you all?

*Kengen coughs abruptly, and looks sternly at Tengotsu*

Kengen: Do not forget who you address. My name is not Ken to you.

*Kengen looked around the room, and then sighed, as if in sorrow*

Kengen: It looks like your third team member has not shown himself yet. No matter, if he shows himself again, I will see what I can do for him. For now, you are a team of three, not four. I will try to find someone to fill his spot soon.

*Kengen looked dead into Tengotsu's eyes. It had been a long time since he had disciplined and student, and even longer since he had been a genin. Ah, the spunk this student had reminded Kengen of himself...It would be fun to beat it out of him...*

Kengen: Maybe you have been couped up for too long, or maybe you have forgoten your place. If you have a problem with me Tengotsu, then let's settle it in "The Pit". Otherwise, report to the mission, and never disrespect me again. Am I clear?

*Kengen was standing now, practically two feet above Tengotsu's head. This titan of a man was pushing Tengotsu's feelings of anger. Kengen's body was completely relaxed, and showed no emotion, except his face. His face showed the slight emotion of annoyance. He had dropped his bowl of noodles, in his rush to stand against this pompus student*

*Kengen's rage subsides, and he slowly steps back from Tengotsu. He looks at Katsume, and she knew what to do. He turned away, and walked out of the room, to set up the mission*

*Katsume watches her old sensei leave her eyes wide with awareness secretly under the table she had here kunai ready in case something happened but this was Kengen. She knew better. So she put it away when the Kage left. Only Kuroda saw it while she puts it away. Soon Katsume smiles. But it quickly vanishes when she saw Tengotsu acting all tough.*

Katsume: You failed Tengotsu...

*She sees Tengotsu's face in question of 'huh?' at her she takes a breath reading herself to explain what she ment by his 'failure'. She looks dead straight at him.*

Katsume: What I ment by Failure was that he wasn't going to really fight you. Tengotsu think about it 'The Pit' Only two people enter one person leaves, it is a battle to the death. No matter who enters one of them must die. And if you two were going to fight but then don't want to. Then if I was there to watch I would have no choice but to kill both of you. Cause you both would be breaking the law. And I'am high enough rank to do so. He wasn't even mad at you back there. Him puffing his chest like that? you have seen anything compared to that little act. Thats right Tengotsu it was all an act. Think clearly. ha you two should be more aware. Kuroda you need to speak up ounce in awhile. thats why he didn't challenge you as well. I know our Kage better than most yes he is quite a comical guy but... You have'nt seen all of Kengen...Like I have. He was my sensei. When I was your age which was.

*She looks to be thinking about it.*

~oh god it wasn't that long ago! 8 yrs ago...~

*She looked to be in deep thought. As if remembering something. But is suddenly snapped into reality when she remembers her team. She looks at both of them.*

Katsume: Actually we have a new mission we must report to it soon both of you and I will go. It is a somewhat dangerous task. It will take all of us to work together on this one since it is a C rank mission.

*She sees there expressions.*

Katsume: Do any of you have any questions? Before I go report to our Kage. Kengen-Sama?

Kuroda meerly nodded knowingly during Katsume's lecture. After all, she'd known them both since she was 6 years old, and she'd seen through the act fairly quickly.

"I'm sorry for not speaking up," she said quickly, "I really didn't know what to say." It wasn't quite the whole truth, but if she said much more she'd probably say something stupid.

"What kind of mission is i?" she asked a moment latter, "I mean, besides the fact that it's a C-rank mission..."

*Katsume listens very carefully to her gennin. then she sighs closing her eyes. She then just remembers what she has to do with Kengen and her students. She smiles. She turns to Kuroda.*

Katsume: As for your question Kuroda our mission is to escort 'pooh bear'. Yes you heard right pooh bear. In other words we need to get the bear out of his cave and make it a new home for it. it must not be harmed in any way! So let us continue I will report to get the rest of the mission details see you two there!

*Suddenly she poofs out of the Hangout. assuming she would be reporting to the Kage. More than just the mission.*
