Welcome to Gaia! ::

''Well...about my though for this day. But also, I just want somoene to talk to. I just won't sleep tonight...at least not well. Ya heard our sensei, he is going to push us to our limits...or at least made up a challenge so hard that it will force us to really work has a team. I just want to know more about you. You come from a far away village that I didn't heard about. I only know some of the things of this village. I bet we can learn about each other village's. I heard it help to know each other, when it come's to act like a team...I haven't been much clear today. I just, have to much in my mind at the moment. I think we all have that in our team...and its not helping. So, is there anything you can tell me about you or your village?''

Houka was leaning agains't the wall. He was holding his headband in his hand, clutching it, as if to keep himself confident. The letter he had received was folded bettween the metal plate and the white leather.

''The ocean...I wish I could see it someday. I just realised I didn't speak much about. My father bear the name of the Oyu. The Oyu have been a long lasting family of blacksmith. Each son that are born, must become one. So how I had to learn many things at my young age. My mother, Annaya, was one of the best ninja in here. Best at spying, at gathering information and at genjutsu. I'm trying my best to surpass them...but it's not that easy.''

He shrug, at this statement.

''I decided that I would mix warrior and ninja wich each other. Why warrior you ask? My father is not only a blacksmith, but also a warrior. He learned, at a young age, how to use a weapon called the Bo. You may have heard of it, a long battle staff. I, too, is trying to master it. I have it in my blood, I know it because the staff felt familiar in my hands. I just to figure out how to unseal my weapon out of this scroll...but i'm lacking in the knowledge. I'm lacking behind you and Zanza...I need somoene to help me with the training. I don't know if you would try to help me with that. Your the only person I can rely to, at the moment. Maybe we could share some training experience's. Or maybe not, it's up to you.''

Talking about training made Houka think about the various story about the Shi plateau.

''You know anything about the Shi plateau? I know some odd legends about it. Story that are mostly unbelivable.''

He smiled, thinking about some of the story.

Zanza stoped quickly and silently on the roof of the Tiatou cafe. He looked down at his team mates and nelt on one knee. His hair and scarf moved together as the wind blew threw them. He overheard what they wer talking about for a moment then laid down and listened from the shadows. He wasn't ready interupt their conversation just yet, so he kept close to the roofing as to not be sceen. He then remembered a jutsu from the academey they taught him to use while hideing. Back then it seemed to be just anouther of the useless E ranked jutsu, but now he understoud its true perpose. Zanza quickly pulled the handsign out and activated the jutsu pulling a large cover over himself to avoid being seen.

Roy shrugged after sucking down his soup. "You know more about that stubborn streak than I do. Hell, you and Tai actually learned how to cope with it long before anyone even knew how to cope with her. Whatever you plan has got to be 10 times better than anything I could plan."

Roy laughed a bit. It was sad but true. They simply had mroe information. Information that Roy simply handn't had the time to gather. He looked over to Kinami huffing and puffing. This was rich. She was really at home around Mat and Tai. It struck him then that, he hadn't really gotten such comfortable reactions out of her like they could. While Roy had to fight for just about every genuine reaction he got out of her, they could simply poke her and they basically came gushing forth. Of course, he realized that probably didn't come easy to them either but it really put into perspective the difference in comfort and familiarity between the 3 parties. He sat silently reflecting on it.

Roy grinned at Kinami's remark. "You guys should do something about that buzzing noise I keep hearing. Its very loud sometimes." Roy laughed kind of hard at the comment, not really caring if anyone else shared the humor of the joke.

He looked to Kinami for a moment and grinned widly, "Oh, Kinami knows that she's shown me her stubborn side more than once. Hell, I have to drag almost every piece of information I want out of her kicking and screaming. I sware I'm going to go gray before she even gets a single wrinkle. But, guess that's the problem with being the assistant to the most moody Kage in history, no?"

Roy arched an eyebrow at Kinami. He grinned a bit to her, "Like hell your not. You change moods faster than anyone I know. And I know people with Bipolar disorder. Don't get me wrong love, I understand why you do it and I'm fine with it...mostly, but still doesn't mean you don't do it. Take today for instance. One minute your all happy talking to me, next your ready to chew out everyone that comes through your door. Felt kinda bad for that Yukimura dude. He was just saying hi and what not and you chewed him out like he molested you or something. It was scary."

Roy lookeda t her and then noticed all the food Mat had brought out. He hadn't paid much attention to it till now but it was a small mountain. He swallowed hard when the memory of his fatel words 'I'll Pay for it' came back to haunt him. He could only imagine how much all of this would cost. Of course, if they had made it simply for Kinami, Mat and Tai probably would charge a thing...but since it was made for her and being paid for by him, it all came down to whoever wrote up the bill. If it was Mat, Roy would most likly either get the regular price or maybe a small discount. If Tai did it...Roy could probably buy the Cafe with the amount Tai would request.

The very image ran through his head like a little movie marithon as he looked to Kinami scarf down the food...was she even breathing? "K...Kinami...are you ok? Good lord woman, CHEW your food. CHEW dammit!" he laughed
