When Yasa introduced himself Shin removed a scroll from his pocket saying "This is from Daichi... I haven't opened it although I am very curious to what it says." Shin handed over the scroll, as Yasa opened it he would notice it being in a coded text saying the following.

Note from Daichi: "The boy has amnesia, yet holds the tools which only a ninja could attain. Make sure he is well cared for and fed until we can have Elise investigate the matter. An analysis of his kunai's origin may tell us where it was attained from and thus lead us to the truth about this boy. His food can be charged to my account, as I have not used my rations to your restaurant in several years, I believe those should cover him. Should he need anything else, have him come to the Dojo and find me."

Ooc: It's a pretty awesome pic to, and a very ninja cover.

Yasa took the scroll, unfurling it and quickly scanning it over, slightly surprised at first to find it in code, but less so when he discovered the contents. Amnesia? And if they needed Elise to check him out, that meant Daichi hadn't recognized him either. He'd have to keep an eye on this one. Oh for a Yamanaka's skills... Rolling up the scroll, he smiled at the boy. "Just wants me to keep an eye on you. If you need something to eat, just order something up from one of the waiters." He nodded to the boy, looking up just in time to see two extremely dirty girls walk in. But that wasn't just dirt... He knew what he saw. He couldn't tell if it was fresh or not, and he doubted if it was they would be loitering at a bar. Waving down a passing waitress, he whispered in her ear for a moment, before waving her towards the two, and then turned back to the boy before him. "So, is there anything else you need? I'd be glad to help to the best of my ability."

The waitress immediately walked over to the two girls, smiling politely as she stopped next to their table. "Good afternoon." She said, bending down slightly to bring herself closer in, and also make it so she could speak more quietly, and not embarrass the two with her next words. "The owner noticed your state, and wishes to offer the facilities out back if you wish to clean up." She said quietly, so only those at the table could hear her. It wouldn't do to bring attention to them, not with the way they looked. What had happened to the two?

Yasa rose an eyebrow at that. Couldn't remember food? That was beyond even amnesia! He'd never heard of memory loss to that point. The human brain just didn't work like that. Had he been hit over the head with a steel girder or something? "That's a bit... Troubling..." He muttered aloud, but reached under the counter to grab a menu anyways, setting it open in front of the boy. "Well, look through this and just pick out whatever sounds good. Maybe it'll help you remember something." He said with a smile. This place sold just about every kind of food imaginable, so the chances of finding something recognizable were insanely high, even if that particular food wasn't in stock at the moment. What was sold did depend on how trade was with different areas after all. "And don't worry about the money. Daichi says he'll take care of it. If you really want though, I can probably find something for you to do around the place." With the last few words, a slight smile crawled across his face. Yes, there was always something around that nobody really wanted to do. Seemed like he couldn't pay his workers enough to do a few of the jobs around the place.

xxxxLeiko blinked at the sound of her sister's voice, entwining her fingers with Sasayaka's as her wide forest green eyes, glassy and distant, stared into space. She flinched at the notice of the many pairs of eyes trained on her soot-blackened face and clothes, and singed hair as Nee-chan guided her gently, but firmly, to a booth in the bar. She cocked her head slightly to one side as her eyes zeroed in on every minute detail, from the heads that turned and stared without shame, to the faces that turned red when they noticed that she was nticing them staring at her and Nee-chan. The smell of the charcoal from the grill distracted her, making her body become very still and her head turn slowly in the direction of the odor. Her hands were trembling as she breathed a silent sigh of relief, noticing that the source of the odor was, in fact, the grill, and not the building catching fire. Turning her full attention back towards the menu, she merely glanced at it before gesturing impatiently at the prices, which they could never afford in their current state. Her lips were perfectly still, not even parting when she breathed a sigh, the exhalation coming out through her nose.
xxxxLeiko flinched and cringed visibly when the waitress approached the timid girls and offered the facilities behind the bar to the two young women. Her small, gloved hands curled into tight fists, her knuckles whitening beneath the tough material as she bit down on her tongue to keep herself from crying out. Scooting herself as far from the waitress as she possibly could without moulding herself into the paneling of the wall next to her, Leiko's eyes bored into Sasayaka's and she shook her head, pleading with the other Kotong girl to make the woman go away. Her arms folded protectively over her chest as she seemed to collapse inwards on herself, shrinking into a mere shadow of herself as she cringed away from the unfamiliar woman. Leiko would rather bathe herself in acid than be near people.

xxxxEmerald eyes narrowed into slits as Leiko and Sasayaka were approached by yet another unfamiliar person, this one an ebony haired young man who was as muddy and wet as Sasayaka and Leiko were singed and sooty. Her hands were clenched into fists so tight that her fingernails sliced deep into her palms, leaving a series of tiny bleeding cuts despite the tough material that enveloped her hands. Her eyes fell to the tabletop and stayed there as she cringed away from the two unfamiliar villagers. Being mute had never been as inconvenient as it was at that very moment as a wave of fresh pain made Leiko flinch noticeably. It felt as if needles were being pricked into every pore in her body as she continued to sit there, the curse of the Konaga family inciting another wave of pain. It felt as if she was having each individual layer of skin shaved off by way of razor blade.
xxxxGrabbing Sasayaka's left hand in her right, she squeezed her sister's fingers hard enough to cause some slight pain and stood, drawing herself up to her full height. Her spine curved gently as she bowed out of respect to the owner of the bar and the waitress, but she merely shoved the black-haired boy out of her way as she swept out of the bar, her dull crimson traveling cloak smudged with soot as she let herself out. Her alizarin crimson hair fluttered behind her as she nearly toppled the boy over, not bothering to be gentle as she pushed him out of her way. Her back perfectly straight, she stalked out of the bar and headed towards the dojo. Maybe there was someone there who could train her. Maybe there was someone there who could tell her what the hell happened to her and Nee-chan.


[OoC: She doesn't want anything to do with him, Akura. She doesn't like people, if you can't tell.]

Tenza was shoved out of the way and he rose an eyebrow. " The hell was that about?" He questioned himself as the other girl whispered to him. " I guess you are right..." He said as he turned and began to look for Yasashii. ' And I hope we can.... I hope we can...' He thought refering to her comment about at some point being friends, those two girls, no matter how strange they where, they caught his attention for that very reason. " Yasashii, where are you..." He questioned himself again as he sighed.

Tenza continued to look around. ' Wait.... This is the wrong side...' He said as he put his palm in his face. He turned around and saw Yasashii waving to the waitress, he walked up to him and once he was beside him he sighed. " I take it I can't call you uncle out in the open..." He whispered to his uncle slightly disappointed. " I finished the mission... And got promoted to genin." He whispered to the man once more. " Anyway Could you please bring me something to drink?" He told the man so he wouldn't raise any suspicion for those that where around him. " I'm pretty sure you saw that girl, the one that shoved me off... Do you... Know anything about her?" He asked his uncle, itching to go after her, or to simply find Taki, which ever came first.

(( He did what every other 14 yearold would have done, girls first, responsibilities second. ))

Yasa's eyebrow rose at the first words from his nephew's mouth. What on earth was he thinking? "Why wouldn't you be able to?" He asked once the boy stopped speaking. "Anyone around here should know it already. Since he apparently didn't, I decided to mess with his head." He shrugged, before smiling slightly and ruffling the boy's hair. Well, it would look that way, but where people would see ruffling, he tightly squeezed the boy's head to add emphasis where his voice could not. "And you're a ninja now? Congratulations. Just don't let Daichi hear you playing that game. He's rather sensitive about that, after the war." With that, he released the boy, and sighed. The war, not many people remembered it now. Even he didn't remember just who had fought it, having been so young at the time. All most people around knew was that there had been a war that destroyed the country, and that it had just recently been restored.

Sitting down on his stool, Yasa grabbed a bottle and glass from the rack behind him, setting them on the bar for Tenza, as requested. He didn't let the boy drink alcohol, but he did have plenty of other drinks handy. "As for the girl, I've never seen those two before." He said with a shrug, but then stared off into space for a moment. "They were dirty, but most of it wasn't particularly fresh. A lot of it was soot and ash. I expect they were caught in a fire sometime recently. They didn't appear to like being near others, the one you looked at funny particularly, considering her reaction." he frowned slightly at the boy, not really approving of his actions just then. "Try and keep your distance from them, if only for their own comfort. Whatever happened to them, they don't need someone clinging to them." The words were followed by silence, and a somewhat solemn look. Yasashii easily recognized the state the two had been in, if only because he had experienced it himself, so many years before. War left a lot of children like that. Hopefully they would be able to push beyond it, as he had himself.
