Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hirako took a sip of his tea. The kid talks like I'm not even here... He thought to himself. Mm. Good tea. After a couple sips he put down his cup, clinking on the hard table. He took a deep breath to prepare his counter argument.

"I know it was dangerous. But after you guys acted to each other, and to me, you deserved it, and that's a fact. You all have your weaknesses and you guys acknowledge it. That's a good start, you guys even start to make plans based on your strengths and weaknesses. But then you don't work together! You bicker and argue! What if you had to defend somebody on a mission? Huh?! If you guys were too busy arguing people could die! You need to get over your egos and work together god dammit!" He exclaimed angrily. "I was hoping that this mission would make you realize how dangerous being a ninja is and how much you need to work together, and it seems to have worked! Don't forget what you learned though! Zanza couldn't have done it without the two of you I'm sure! Things are only going to get tougher from here, you guys need to shape up!" His speech finished, he took another sip of his tea. "Don't think I'm not proud of you though. You guys did good."

"Good Tea." He said aloud.

(when/where are we meeting up for our next training/mission?)

''Of course we did. We all try to protect each other, I even had to try and fix Zanza injury. Ame made out a diversion with her clone's while Zanza pull the thief into the earth....thing is, we all work out has a team.''

Houka took a small pose to think about what he would say.

''Altough Ame and I almost had to knock down Zanza, though, since he didn't want to be carried outside the cave...'' Houka added with a laugh.

''Their's still something that trouble me...I talked about it with Zanza but you didn't heard about it. He must have decided not to tell you about it...''

Houka voice was trailing off now...he had barely the courage to continue...but he had to tell them anyway.

''My...mother died...last day, during training. All I have left of her is a letter...that I didn't opened...since its sealed.''

Houka's eye's become lifeless again and he lost himself in is head again.

Hirako slurped on his tea before choking on what Houka said. After a couple coughs and pounds on his stomach, Hirako looked hard at Houka. "I'm truly sorry to hear that Houka." His face crestfallen, he continued to look at Houka. "Are you okay? Is there anything you need?" He leaned in slightly. The tea cup suddenly felt very hot in his hand. His eyes scanned Houka for any hint to how he felt.

(hurry the f*ck up)XD

Xan sat down into a booth, passing waitresses with the "Hey, what are you doing?" looks on their faces, as he skipped the line. As he sat down, he put his feet up on the table. He had just taken a week of training, and was totally burnt out. He had been fighting with Giglamesh one day, then some other days, just pure endurance and chakra control.

A waitress came up to greet him, "What are you doing?!? You just bypassed a 30 minute wait!"

Xan eyed her, "You're pretty damn sexy, lady."

The women blushed, through his putrid smell he was extremely handsome, "I still need to ask you to lea-"

Xan cut her off. "I will have some tea, and could I get something of a beef ramen dish? Not the canned or prepackaged type, but real ramen. Oh, and could you heat up the meat, but not cook it?"

The lady looked at him oddly, "So you want Ramen with raw, heated beef put in it?"

Xan rubbed his stoumach, "That sounds just great!" Xan opened a window, "Can I get two?"

"Well, our bowls are rather big." The waitress made a motion indicating the size of the bowls. "You get a discount if you just order a larger size, it costs more to buy two bowls."

Xan smiled, "I need another for a friend." He motioned toward the open window, "She should be here, soon."

A huge wolf then jumped into the window, causing something of a racket, also making the waitress scream. "What?" Haruka said in human tongue, "I am with the human." Making a head motion to Xan.

The waitress, looking as if she could faint, said in a weary voice, "O-okaay.. Two raw beef ramen, coming up... That will... Be 20 yen, please..."

Xan handed her about 40 yen, "Keep 20, buy yourself some nice... What do non-ninja women like? Because I was going to say you should buy yourself some nice shuriken." Xan smiled wryly, "Another short mini-skirt, maybe?"

The waitress blushed before making her leave.

Houka listen to Hirako's question and stayed silent for a moment. He was preparing a good answer to that question.

''Well, I need several improvement on me...if I want to keep up with my teamates...but I have no idea where to start. And I feel like I can't remember anything about the basic of ninjutsu. Must have been that fall on the head in the cave's. And since I'm lacking physical and mental skill, I better drop off my futur career. I need to work on those before I even begin to dream about it.''

Despite harumi already picking her self out a table, hyoumaru would go over to a bus girl for her to tell there gropu where they could be seated. Harumi was alreayd sittign and had alreayd tucked a bib in to her shirt hitting her hands on the table chanting. "food nyao food nyao food nyao." Shishimaru knew there was no pointing in argueing with harumi so she had also jumped to over the fench to the balcony type seating, and she basicly kick her leg around a chair leg and pull it back where it literaly slid around behide her befor she would sit scooting her her self up to table, with out ever useing her hdns she never uses them.

Bus girl- She would be incredibly kind, and seeing her mask she knew he was hunter nin, so she would begin to escort him to a seat, but after seeing as his group seemd to alreayd be seated. "Well.....i guess your friends already found there table...heh...a waitress will be right with you." She would return to the front.

Agin veins were pulsing in hyoumaru's head. "Why the hell didnt you wait till we were seated?" Harumi would stick her toung out at hyoumaru then begin to speak, but shishimaru spoke faster first. "Harumi had already sat, and you know better than most there is no point in conflicting the matter with her as she does things as she wills them, You know there is no point in resisting it." she was sitting down, and it was creepy that she was abel to do all this despite being blind and wearing a blindfold over eyes. Harumi would just point with her right hand at shishimaru. "yep she right nyao!" More veins would begin to pop and pulse on his body, and he would simply slide up a chairsitting at the table, he knew there was no point fighting it it was simply habit to do so.

Waitress- Would fianly come up with a small book to take there orders. "what can i get you folks?"

Harumi would basicly squee for now reason and suddenly stand atop the chair. "One super mega sized seafood ramen nyao!!!" Hyoumaru would kick her chair so she would fall of of it, but like a kat she would twist landing on her feet and quickly she would flip him off befre sitting back down. "You know you wont eat that much and that you dont like scalops...." "NO! you shush your ugly little mouth i want seafood ramen nyao!!!" She has the squinting eye with puffed cheeks like a kid that was trying to get her way. He woudl simply get a sweat bead as well as veins pulsing. "......whatever.......that...three orders of mitarashi." He woudl look at shishimaru, alreayd knowing her answr he woudlnt even bother, he had never seen shishimaru eat before sometime he would wonder is she even did, then he would look to harumi for a minute. "And four bottle of sake." "NOOOO SIX NYAO!!!" Hyoumaru would just continue to glare. ".......six....dont worry she older than she looks AND ACTS!" the waitress would smile nod and tell them it would be right out, giving odd glance at the imature girl. Harumi would stand on the chair agin and begin to dance by shakeing her a** around still wearing her cloak. "Woo woo gonna get drunk nyao!!! yeah yeah gonna get drunk nyao!!!"
