  Sharingan, One Tomoe: ActiveThe Stranger smiled but was fond of secrets. Secrets meant information, information meant leverage. And leverage could easily turn to power, to those who knew how to use it. He looked at her and said with a smile in his voice,"As you wish."Maybe after he built more rapport with her, she would open up to him. But that was for another day. For now he watched her everything, her response to his "notice" of her body. Excellent, she under estimated him, that was a good sign. That meant he was still able to hide his motives among the more aware.
When she made the comment about his watching of her stretch his grin tugged at his eyes."Even I must admit a certain... decadence in watching an apt Kunoichi... limber up."He winked as he said the last part, upon seeing her face turn from one of annoyance into a bright smile, he smiled as well. Then her head cocked to the side and she asked her next question. This one nearly caught him off guard.."A date. Will it be a terribly important one? I will strive not to be late. Oh tut tut Ms. Altima, I eye my meat much more.... voraciously. Oh my mask, you don't like it? At least I know it is doing it's job, but before next... intercourse between us I shall have it removed. Until next time then"He watched her walk off towards the ring careful to not make a spectacle of himself as he viewed her legs. He could see a buffoon exiting, one holding his nose as it appeared to be bleed.. "Oh... him.."Takeo made his way towards the Stranger and began talking with his "acquired" chips in hand, clasping his shoulder lightly. He then lowered his voiced and tightened his grip threateningly, however somewhat awkwardly for him around his shoulder pad. The Stranger looked back at the spiky haired child in unimpressed annoyance. Like a petulant child throwing a unnecessary temper tantrum.
With a spin of his arm in an outward rotating circular motion that knocked his grip loose. Snaking his hand back under his arm, while maintaining a grip of his forearm he locked his elbow and gripped his shoulder. Not in one of dominance but one of warning that he would not roll over or be man handled.
While Takeo had muscle on Haruki's body true enough, at this current point in time the Stranger had leverage. And Haruki's strength meant little if he had to snap his own arm to keep his threat valid. Placing his hands in a loose gesture around his Adam's apple, as if he was grabbing a walnut he let out a long sigh.
The previous mirth on his face long gone, no hate hear. Just simple, unequivocal truth, Takeo meant nothing to him."Now now sir. You may not know me but Eye no too well all about you. You are not the one to hold a good front, playing the buffoon to get in aggressively through mock mirth and jubilance. Though you do play the fool well enough.
Second my methods are plainly visible to be observed and if not attended to properly are missed all together as well as their points. Since you are asking you have obviously done both.
Thirdly, I haven't the faintest concept on why you would be hearing voices. But your family seems to have a close relative history of mental illness."His gripped tightened to let him know that he wasn't playing, as the joint in Takeo's arm came to it's stressing point. The Stranger could feel in in the micro vibrations. He let him know quite clearly that his strength in this moment would do him no good."However, Eye do suggest you show some proper dignity befitting of you very fortunate for you birthright and be respectful and polite to me from now on. Rudeness is not in your nature but ignorance seems apparent so I shall grant you on this occasion of the exams, this one leniency.
Now run along and take the gift from that pesky Karasu before Eye really become fed up with you."With a slight tap and half flick on his Adam's apple, not enough to hurt or annoy him, but enough to make him aware of the promise. The Stranger had learned his lesson well from Sessouresu. He was simply tired of threats, he know made statements of fact. If someone pressed he was going to do something about it end of story.
He released Take from the elbow lock, gave a mock curtsy and walked away. He said over his shoulder for Takeo to hear quite clearly,
"The next time you want to have a discussion with me over a concern. Mayhaps you will remember your manners, and speak to me like a civilized, privileged child of status. Such as you are.
Oh Koto, with your reaction to the red headed beauty, one might think you are.... batting for the other team?"-edit approved-

"Bitterness is a Cancer, It eats Upon the host..."
Sessouresu walked out of the room he had entered a bit out of breath. Luckily for him his chakra started to recover as he walked into the holding area. The clock was wrapped around his eye (Much like the commander from 300) in place of the eye patch that had been removed in his last fight. "I ******** hate puppet users" The boy Grumbled as he walked into the holding area. Also Taking note of Koto's reaction to Serene who was wearing even less clothing than normal. "Grow up for Christ sakes Koto" The boy said as he started to walk into the direction of the area were the food was at. Though in order to get to it he had to pretty much walk right path all the others. "...But anger is like a Fire, It burns all clean"

 ~Feed the fire, break your vision~
Takeo wasn't amused being drawn into a shoulder lock, but if it meant getting answers then he would accept it. Wouldn't be the first time he had received a similar response for a like situation. The thing's insults were annoying, but he held his tongue for now, listening instead. Mental illness? That's whats going on? That still didn't explain anything about this character.
As his shoulder groaned in pain to his mind, he ignored it, knowing full well what would happen if he dared move at this point. Hell, he had taught Haruki this hold when they were younger. It had only worked once though......
Now it was demanding respect and honor? And while he demanded that he insulted him again! There seemed to be no end to this creature's arrogance as it decided to grant him mercy. Teasing his neck again, he walked off, making another remark about using manners and being civilized.
Takeo shook himself off and stood up straight heading to the ring to exchange these stupid things. His thoughts wandered to this strange development. This thing inside his brother was being more of jerk than his brother was usually, but at least that was for playful brotherly banter. This was different. That thing was almost like living in a house with twins but each acted differently to you. One was teasing and friendly, obviously a close friend, whereas the other was cold and merciless, as if he was looking for the next chance to kick you out. Of course if that was the case, things would be easier, but here it wasn't. If the thing wanted him gone, he could've ended it right there, Takeo was vulnerable enough. No. There was something else there. But why was he still here? Perfectly unharmed? A close eye was going to need to be kept on his brother and his other half from now on, that he was certain.
These thoughts finished he entered into the gambling ring quickly realizing that he was still 2 chips short of the best prize. Well he figured he could get away with a quick "lucky" stroke and cash in.
~Throw your fists up, come with me!~

Uchiha Koto
"Your first cut..."
"Easy for you to say runt...You're not...'affected' by the female form like other men...Not that there's anything wrong with that..." Koto responded as Sessouresu walked past. While it may have seemed like an attempt to insult, Sessouresu's hostility towards the females of their team seemed more severe that his hostility toward his male teammates. Combined with his borderline violent reaction to the hug he received from Koto earlier, this led Koto to believe that Sessouresu had some homosexual tendencies. The repression of which exascerbated many of his anger issues.
While most likely wrong, that didn't stop him from making a comment about it...if only to see what Sessouresu would do...most likely not the smartest choice...

"Bitterness is a Cancer, It eats Upon the host..."
"Ohh it does, I'm going to gawk at her. Besides she most likely want's people to stare, or else she wouldn't dress like that" The boy said shrugging, he was too tired to start a big arugment like he would have any other day of the year, he was still pretty much just running on fumes. "Besides, I've seen Senri Naked more than once. So why would this make my jaw drop?" Luckily Serene wouldn't have started an argument or fight about his comment even if she somehow took it as an insult (which it wasn't meant to be in any way) seeing as how she tended to just ignore Sessouresu whenever she had the option too; which fit him just fine.
As he spoke he never broke his gate still heading towards the food, which while still in the same area and room; was on the other side than the rooms that they had left from. If they replied to him he would most likely replay back, however if they asked him to stop, hell no. He was hungry and for once there was food that the Proctors specifically had for them, while it was horrible and disgusting, it was made to get people back onto there feet as quickly as possible. "...But anger is like a Fire, It burns all clean"

Uchiha Koto
"Your first cut..."
Koto's face immediately became a mask of neutrality. Behind this facade of calm lie a storm of rage so deep and unyielding hatred...he calmed himself though...it wouldn't do to loose control here... He had decided to let that particular comment concerning Senri go...for now. He was mature enough to know that he had no right to confront either of them about it...
Part of him wanted to simply give up on his unwelcome pursuit of her affection...that was the weak part...
He was ignoring that part...
He was going to stay focused...he told him self that if he really cared about her happiness then he wouldn't care who she was...with...as long as she was happy...
For now he simply followed Sessouresu's lead and got something to eat before the next round...
The food tasted like the broken dreams of one thousand orphaned children...but at least it was edible...

 Yasuhiro Uchiha
Yasuhiro stumbled into the holding area, a audible gasp escaping him as he winced in pain. His hands were tucked under his arms, and his sword was wedged in the crook of one of his arms as well. As soon as he enetered the room he gasped dropping his sword for a moment as he looked at his hands.
The rooms healing technique was beginning to take effect and the tingling in his hands was more along the lines of searing pain as his skin began to grow back. Quickly he unrapped his severely burnt hands looking at the skin as it slowly replaced the seared and blistered flesh.
After a few moments it passed and he sat there breathing heavily for a time. It was then he realized koto and sessoresu heading for the food across the room. after the pain from a moment before he wasn't very hungry, but he had to eat or he would be weak for the next test. So picking up his sword he walked over he grabbed a few things before finding a corner to sit in.

"Bitterness is a Cancer, It eats Upon the host..."
As Sessouresu gathered the food and placed it onto his plate he made sure to only take things that would come in handy, or were concealable. After being homeless most your life there were a few habits you couldn't break even if you tried. The food he took was heavy in carbohydrates and dense, meaning he didn't need to eat a lot to be full; and he wouldn't be weighed down with a heavy stomach. Though he also grabbed a few things for later; Mainly dried fruit and some Dried meat. Again a habit of being homeless; if you had the chance to get food that wouldn't go bad, you took it.
With that he walked over the wall; grabbing one of the holding chairs from a table as he did so, before folding it out and sitting down by himself. However it wasn't long before a few of the younger Genin made there way over to him and started trying to talk to him. They were simply ignored, however that in itself was a statement, seeing as how he didn't even yell at them for bothering him, a year ago he would have Beaten one to a pulp in order to get the others to leave him alone.
So after a few minutes most of the younger Genin had taken the hint and left him; however there were a few who decided to sit on the ground next to were Sessouresu was sitting and ate there silently with him. "...But anger is like a Fire, It burns all clean"

Sharingan, One Tomoe: ActiveHe was already walking away from everyone when Sessouresu found the food. He watched the boy grab at the food and even store some amidst his clothing. "Hmmm the cloth is new." Watching him from a side long glance, he decided to head over and grab himself some food.
Turning as Sessouresu responded to Koto, he noticed something peculiar. Koto's face when from what is was to what it is normally. There was something off or rather, forced about it. He took a mental note that Sessouresu had gotten his attention with his spiel.
Then it hit him, he remembered Haruki watching all of them on their canyon trail voyage. The tension displayed between Sessouresu and Koto over....Hebi?
It was a good thing his mask was on because his face twisted with a glee only a Cheshire cat torturing his mortal enemy could procure. Both taunting and mischievous, while holding a eerie foreboding. He made it to the table and gathered some food and as he decided where to sit a...dangerous thought came to mind.
He did stop to look back at a boy who nearly screamed as he enter.... "Oh... you... The buffoon who knows not poison from elixir." He continued to go about his musings despite the fact that he desperately wanted to end the scarfed boy into a hail of arrows, leaving him resembling a pincushion.
He walked over and sat by Sessouresu. He sat on the side of him against his sword draw and about two and half, to three feet out of range. Instead of taunting him or staring at him he just sat there silently. Removing his mask to the side of his face so he could eat.
There were a couple of other genin who were eating silently as well. For now, the Stranger was testing the waters of Sessouresu's calm. To see if this was a new sense of personality. Or merely one brought on by exhaustion and over exertion. He glanced at Sessouresu once not in a taunting manner of even one submission.
There was merely the look one soldier gave to another in the trenches. The one you see in a movie where the two hated each other since boot camp; and months of war later, they sit beside each other eating silently, knowing that despite their differences they are both from the same crop in the middle of the suck.
He let his sense motive jutsu activate, just in case Sessouresu got ballsy and swung on him here. It was always better safe then sorry when dealing with the scary one eyed monster.

Yasuhiro Uchiha
Yasuhiro looked up at haruki as he made his way over toward the one eyes chunin. As he removed his mask and began eating he smiled. "Oh, so the puppet does have a face of his own. I'm urprised you survived this long without that brat pulling your strings, marionette." he said in a calm voice from behind his scarf, fixing it as it slid slightly.
He closed his eyes taking a deep breath. "Sessouresu was it?" he said calmly to the one eyed boy. He was in their general area but unlike haruki he wasn't worried about assaults he had seen the rooms abilities, and no doubt there were jounin everywhere they couldnt see. The only strikes the room probably couldn't heal were severally strong and using one would take time. So there was no point to worry about attacks here.
Taking a drink of a cup he had grabbed while at the table he sighed. "I hear you are a fairly skilled swordsman. Perhaps you could teach me a few moves some time, I haven't used a sword for very long so i'm not very good. Any pointers would probably help tremendously. After all we can't hide in other peoples shadows when on missions and panic when things don't go our way like marrionette. Some of u actually have our own reason to fight." he said with a chuckle.

"Bitterness is a Cancer, It eats Upon the host..."
Sessouresu remained eating as he sat there; not bothering to look over at Haruki as he sat next to him, after the first quarter he knew that the kid wasn't a threat and was all talk; in his eyes he was nothing more than a yappy rat-dog. No real threat just an annoyance. However as the other kid walked up the boy finished the last of his food and looked at him as he spoke. "...." It was the kid who had seemingly become all buddy buddy with Koto. "And why in the ******** would I do that?" He asked simply before standing up, Sessouresu almost half a foot shorter than Yasuhiro.
"This is a competition, why would I help you get better in any way at all. My goal is to beat you; and your's to beat me. You don't make your opponents stronger you dumb a**" He said rolling his eye as he said that. "My advice to you, is don't go around telling the people who you will most likely be fighting in he future what your weakness's are. Now everyone here knows if they fight you and they can use a sword; to fight you that way" While it was a brash way to go about it; he was helping in his own way. "And don't act like your better then that peice of s**t" He said pointing down at Haruki. "Until you prove yourself, Your a weak and pathetic excuse for an Uchiha just like him" As he said this Sessouresu remained looking up at Yasuhiro. "Got it?"
As he spoke a number of the newer Genin who had been sitting around him seemingly froze as they watched this. "...But anger is like a Fire, It burns all clean"

Yasuhiro Uchiha
Yasuhiro chuckled for a moment at sessouresu's reply. "well no need to be so rude about it. I wouldn't dream of asking you to help at this very moment. That would be rediculous, I was merely suggesting a meeting at a later date. I also don't care for anythingI haven't earned with my own hands so you can keep your useless respect for someone who cares for it like one of these young genin hiding in your shadow." he held his hands out as he spoke.
Then he sighed, "Do you really think me that stupid though? to speak out loud about a weakness in thee middle of the chunin exams? I said I wasn't the best, but i never said I consider it a weakness, the fact of the matter is If me and you crossed sswords." he paused for emphasis. "solely swords, I would be at a great disadvantage. But the shinobi world is one of lies and deciet. And an important skill of any shinobi is their ability to gather information. For all anyone else here knows I could be the greatest swordsman of our class and be baiting them to challenge me or i could be heart felt in my claim. However without a doubt at least you have seen my abilities and know at least one of my tricks. I just happen to have heard the rumors about the so called, one eyed genius of our class and felt intrigued by them so I came to investigate." he said in a calm manner.
Readjustng the scarf he looked down at the angry boy and smiled behind his scarf which up close appeared too large to have been made for him. "If you want me to prove myself so badly then fine, keep close watch on me from now until the end of these exams, I will show you exactly what I'm capable of." he said his voice growing colder as he spoke.

Sharingan, One Tomoe: ActiveThe exchange between the two was... absolutely ******** hilarious, but more than even that. It was revealing. Both boys showed much to the Stranger as well as Haruki in that moment. Viewing him much weaker than the typical genin on the premises, and THAT is exactly what he wanted them to think."Watch closely Karasu, I have them exactly where they want me... Heheheheeeeheee" , he thought to himself silently as the boys exchanged their words and views. Haruki merely banged his head against the mental construct fear that his body would expire before he ever got out. The Stranger willed his thoughts from the noise board in his mind and went to his musings.
On one hand Yasuhiro displayed intelligence with the utmost lack of subtlety. Boldly yelling out, 'Haha I have got you see my strategy is flawless.' If only he had ever watched a Bond film. While his retort to Sessouresu's showed that he was capable of rational thought and deductive reasoning. He seemed to lack the finesse to keep the important information to himself.
Then taunting the angry genin who rumors claimed him to be a genius saying, 'oh yeah look what I can do!' He thought to Haruki inside his prison "Interesting, telling an opponent roughly twice his own power level his weakness is rather cunning.. No not cunning. Hey Karasu, what is the opposite of cunning?"'You mean retarded?''"Yes that's it, thank you!"The whole conversation took place in his head and was not hear aloud save for a slight snort after Sessouresu's response. Now that was the other interesting notion held during this little speech off.
Sessouresu's choice of words more specifically is what caught his attention. 'Your a weak and pathetic excuse for an Uchiha just like him" The last words that brought him into the conversation. Pathetic excuse for an Uchiha. "Wasn't it he who said, and I quote, '******** the clan?' Why the sudden change in attitude?"He thought about what he said, and then a funny thing happened to him. A thought occurred to him.... 'Because I have seen Senri Naked more than once.' He smiled brightly to himself. "Oho~! Found something worth staying for have we? Why Monocle Man, you dog."He had finished eating by the time their exchange was finished. Pulling down his mask, he blinked his eyes back to their void pitch colored blackness. He smiled lightly and made a imaginary "tip of his hat" towards Sessouresu at the mention of his existence giving a mock bow.
He was glad he was now viewed as nothing but a mild nuisance to be ignored. It put him at an advantage so long as he kept a watchful eye on Sessouresu. To Yasuhiro he chuckled lightly and spoke, "Heh, cold day in hell. Though he was a lot more civil about it than normal; I'd keep my scarf up."He ignored the other genin's responses. They were of no consequence. No matter what he Sessouresu thought, he could take most of them easily. And Yasuhiro one espousing his lack of disciplined swordsman ship, and his inability to determine to vials of liquid from aiding medicinal herbs.
He did not concern him, however he was fond of playing the fool in front of others to try and mask his intelligence and skills. Perhaps half an eye then...

 Character Theme: And Dignified Like A Blooming Flower Serene took the metal case that she had gotten with her as she left the gambling ring and headed back to the main area of the holding area. She made her way back to where she had been sitting before, sitting down and placing the case on her lap.
As she sat down, she overheard the discussion between Sessouresu and Yasuhiro. She didn't hear much of the discussion, but what she did hear only made her roll her eyes. Yasuhiro was taking Sessouresu's challenge to prove himself, wanting the other boy to watch him in the exams to see what he was made of. Sessouresu may have been strong, but Serene didn't care even if he was far stronger than herself. To her he still had no right to tell others they needed to earn his respect, especially someone of a higher rank as he did before. To her it was only the disrespectful who truly weren't worthy of a shred of respect. People were only filling Sessouresu's already over-inflated ego treating him differently, whether in a negative or positive way all it did was prove to him his own self-importance.
'You're name's Yasuhiro, right?" Serene spoke to the boy, glancing over to him where the others were eating. She didn't pay any special mind to Sessouresu's presence, she didn't avoid him nor specifically look at him. "I may not have heard everything that was said, but I have to say I'm disappointed. This exam is about your own advancement. If you want to impress someone, save it for the people that matter, the ones grading you. What another genin thinks of you should be of little consequence." She didn't know if Sessouresu would respond to her or not, nor did she care. As she said, he was simply another genin. She didn't say it to upset him, she would actually prefer if it didn't since she preferred as little contact with him as possible. But still, too many paid him much too much attention and that itself annoyed her. He already showed he wasn't willing to help his teammates grow stronger, so there was no reason to deal with him, he did nothing for you.
Her piece said, Serene then turned her eyes to the scoreboard above them, seeing the scores on how well everyone had performed so far. When she saw her own score, she closed her eyes. It was a very good score, but with two quarters already passed, this meant she had somehow lost 7 points off of a perfect score. She wasn't aiming for perfection of course, but since she also wasn't in this to win or get promoted, she started to look back, trying to figure out what could have caused her to lose those points. Of course there was the fact that she lost and almost died fighting Haruki, but she was sure there was more to it than that. Putting off opening the case for a bit she started contemplating the testing so far.
