Emiko was greeted by a nice looking woman with long hair like hers though in a dark blue coloration. She greeted her like any other customer though her eyes lit up at the mention of Yoshiro. As well as that last bit of inflection on the friend word. Pushing those thoughts away, Emiko would shrug to herself and figure that it was just moms being moms. Whatever that felt like. "Yep! I'm Emiko, but Emi's fine with me. It's nice to meet you, ma'am."
"Hiiii! I'm Yoshi's mother, Yumi. He's out back training right now, but I'll have his father call him back in. One moment."
The woman called back to a male presumably behind her, asking him to yell out for Yoshiro somewhere close by. In the mean time, Emiko would look at the menu for a bit before then back to Yumi. "Your son is super nice! We met at the academy and from there, the two of us have been training super hard. He's so nice too!" Emiko returned the smile, unaware of the mental storm brewing in the woman's head. It wasn't soon after that Yoshiro made his entrance and greeted her. "Hiya, Yoshi-chan~" The girl said, teasing the boy with his nickname that she had picked especially for him. His mother's words made Emi blush a bit, snickering to herself as he looked unsure, maybe even nervous. The topic shifted was well as it could, and the question to end all questions was thrown.
"So uhhhh what would you like to eat?"
Emiko furrowed her brows in thought. So many choices, and everything looked so good! She looked down at Yumi after a minute of thinking and got an idea. "Yumi! Can you suggest something that Yoshi and I would love? You look pretty cool about noodles and food stuff. Pretty please?"

Yoshiro winced slightly at being called "Yoshi-chan". That sort of pet name definitely wasn't going to help the situation. However, this feeling was nothing compared to the cringe he felt when Emiko asked his mother for her opinion, calling her "cool about noodles" of all things. 'Oh God. Please no.' he thought. It was too late though. The look on his mother's face said it all.
While Emiko's mentions of the academy and training seemed to leave his mother unphased, the way the young girl addressed her son was just intimate to rouse suspicion in her, his mother raising an eyebrow in curiosity. This would require further investigation. Fortunately, Emiko provided her with the perfect opportunity to do so. "Oh my. That's so sweet of you to say." Yumi replied. Placing a finger to her jawline in thought, she paused briefly before continuing,"Well, I know my the beef udon is my little Yoshi's and his father's favorite, so why don't we go with that." She then turned to Yoshiro and said,"Why don't you go help your father with that in the kitchen? Don't worry. I'll be sure to keep Emi company until you're back."
Though his mother presented the idea as if he had a choice, Yoshiro knew better than to refuse. At this point, things were entirely out of his hands. His mother was calling the shots and all he could do was hope not to get hit. "Right. I'll get to it." he replied. He then trudged his way to the kitchen, only able to imagine the storm of embarrassment that was coming his way.
Once Yoshiro had disappeared from sight, Yumi looked back to Emiko. "So Emi, can you tell me more all the training and nice things my son's been doing with you? He's always out training or doing work for the village, so I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to ask him about these things yet." she asked, her tone and expression remaining warm and friendly despite her burning curiosity. Her son may have kept such things from her, but hopefully Emiko would be a bit more forthcoming.
After asking Yoshiro's mother for some recommendations on what to eat, Emiko smiled at the mention of beef udon. "Awesome! I would love to try that! I bet you guys are super awesome cooks as well." The fact that her friend had a noodle shop was cool in itself, but that just meant she could get noodles any time she wanted. Maybe if she would be a good guest, they would come and let her gossip with Yoshiro's mom. As she thought about that Yoshiro was sent to the kitchen, though a bit begrudgingly, and the two girls continued their talk.
"So Emi, can you tell me more all the training and nice things my son's been doing with you? He's always out training or doing work for the village, so I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to ask him about these things yet."
"Sure! Where to start..." The genin would begin to regale the woman over the many adventures that the two of them had gone through together. "Well we first met in the academy and he was super tough and looking for a fight and then..." Her tale went through the many highs and lows that they had known. She even mentioned his fierce rivalry with another shinobi in the village, Kairi. "Yoshi wants to fight Kairi after trying to beat him up a bunch. It was so cool watching Kairi just block and weave every single one! He went until Yoshiro tired himself out."

Yumi listened intently to the words Emi spoke, wanting to absorb every detail. It seemed that the two of them had spent a lot of time together, certainly enough that Yoshi should have mentioned Emi to her by now. That was a matter she'd address with him later though. For now, her mission was to simply gather whatever information she could.
Yumi couldn't help but chuckle a bit at the mentioning of Yoshiro trying to fight an older shinobi. "Sounds like my Yoshi, always trying to prove himself and recklessly picking fights with people bigger than him." she said, her words trailing a bit as she remembered all the fights Yoshiro would get into with the other children in their neighborhood when they still lived in Konoha. "But you know, behind all that bullheadedness, he's got a good heart." she added. She then turned around briefly to retrieve a kettle and pair of cups that sat on a counter behind her before returning her attention to Emi. "Here, dear. Something to hold you over until the food's ready." she said as she poured each of them a cup of tea.
Taking a brief pause to have a sip of the tea, she set her cup back down and smiled at Emi. It was time for phase two of her opperation. "Well, that's enough about my son. Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself, Emi?"
Meanwhile, while his mother was busy with her fact finding mission, Yoshiro was busy working on the two udon dishes along side his father. He could hear bits and pieces of the conversation going on between his mother and Emi and having his name pop up every now and then made his ears burn at the tip. Just what were those two gabbing about?
Seeing the frustration on his son's face, Ichiro let out a light bit of laughter. "You know it's your own fault, right?" This comment was met by a rather skeptical look from Yoshiro, so his father explained,"You didn't tell your mother the person you were bringing over for lunch was a girl.""So you're tell me that if I had told mom that I was bringing a girl over for lunch, she wouldn't be out there playing twenty questions right now?" His paused to consider his son's words for a moment before replying humorously,"Nah. You were a dead man the moment that girl walked in." Yoshiro merely let out a groan as his father laughed once more.
There was a moment of silence between as they each focused on their own dishes before his father struck up conversation once more. "So is she cute? Because if she's cute, you're extra screwed." Hearing this, Yoshiro's eyes widened in panic as his body briefly spazzed, nearly knocking over the pot of noodles he was currently stirring. Ichiro saw his son's face turn redder than the tomatoes he was currently dicing and couldn't help but laugh. "That bad, huh?" his father jested, elbowing Yoshiro as the boy did his best to regain his composure. "Welp. Guess I better take a peak and assess the damage." he said, making his way over to the opening.
Looking out discretely, Ichiro was able to get a clear view of Emiko and as soon as he saw her, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, a look of utter panic took over his face. It was her. The girl that had attacked him in the streets during the night of the blood moon. She was noticeably less demonic looking, but there was no mistaking it. It was her. Quickly running back Yoshiro, Ichiro grabbed his son by the shoulders and turned him towards him. "What is that little she-devil doing here?!" he yelled in a whispered voice.
At first, Yoshiro was confused by his father's words, wondering what it was that had him so worked up. 'She-devil.' That's when he remembered that he hadn't talked to his father about the blood moon incident. Yoshiro had done his own investigation into the matter, learning that many of the village residents had been affected the same way as Emiko had. However, it seemed that their transformations had been entirely involuntary and most didn't have any recollection of their actions during that time, including Emiko. Unfortunately, he hadn't thought to pass any of this information onto his father. 'Man. I'm really dropping the ball today.'
Letting out a soft sigh, Yoshiro shrugged his father's hands off and placed his own hand onto one of his father's shoulders. "She's not a she-devil, dad. At least, not anymore. That whole blood moon thing was just temporary and not even her fault. It was some involuntary thing." Yoshiro explained.
Ichiro briefly looked back over his shoulder before returning his gaze to his son. "So she's not a.....you know......" he said, using his index fingers to mimic fangs. Although, to Yosohiro they looked more like the tusks of an elephant. Still, he understood what his father was implying.
"No, dad. She's not. She's just a normal girl now. No more vampire." Yoshiro reassured his father, giving him a light pat. "Alright. I'll take your word there son. You would know better than I do." Though his father still seemed a bit uneasy, the two of them returned to their work. However, a thought did linger in the back of his mind. Despite what he had just told his father, he himself couldn't help but wonder if Emiko was truly back to normal. Was it possible that whatever creature she had become that night still lingered inside her?
Yoshiro quickly squashed that concern though. Emiko was one of the kindest people he had ever met and what happened during the blood moon wasn't her fault. And if that monster still lied dormant in her, than that just meant that he had to get even stronger. He'd protect her, even if that meant protecting her from herself.
Emiko laughed softly as his mother made his usual antics known to her. So it seemed as if the boy had a tendency to go head to head against much stronger opponents in general. It certainly explained why he was constantly trying to fight Kairi and probably every other person that was stronger than him. She did share her thoughts about the boy though. Underneath that rough and tough exterior was such a loving soul. It was nice to see somebody who agreed. "Mhm! We were training one time and then I think I passed out. When I woke up, the nurses said that he had carried me in there and was looking super worried." Emiko was served tea, accepting it with a thankful nod as she brought the cup up to her lips and took a gentle sip. "Thank you, Yumi! It's delicious." While she took another sip, a question came her way that she hadn't exactly prepared for.
"Well, that's enough about my son. Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself, Emi?"
Panic would begin to settle into the child. "W-Well, umm..." She looked down into her cup as her tone took on a very different voice. The happiness and cheery nature had disappeared while she spoke. "I don't know that there's a lot to say...'" Emiko managed to pick her head up and meet eyes with Yumi before continuing. "I live at the orphanage full of the other kids from Konoha and other villages. I wanted to become a ninja like Yoshi because that's what my parents were. I thought I might find somebody who knew them if I did. I guess besides that I'm training to become a medi-nin. That way if Yoshiro gets hurt I can make him better. Or at least try." An awkward pause came as she would take a much longer sip and just stare, unsure of what to say really. "I'm sorry, it's just..." she paused. "Yoshiro and Kairi help me a lot. They sometimes make me think...like somebody here wants me around." At the mention of her son, Emiko would look at the kitchen for a moment and just wonder how the food was doing. Had she known Yoshiro was a cook, she could have come down here sooner. His mother was at least nice though she hadn't met his father yet.
"I hope we make a good team someday."

The young man moved through the restaurant district. Various scents overwhelmed his nose. He felt like he hasn't eaten in weeks. How long has it been since he had a decent meal? It was hard for him to recall. SO many of his memories eluded him. Still, he had to kill time before Zhi returned. Perhaps eating could help him remember who he is.
Taylor decided to settle on a noodle shop. The idea of noodles sounded easy on his stomach. He moved past the door and bowed politely upon entering. "Um, excuse me?" He called out to anyone. He saw people, but he wasn't sure if they were part of the management and if they weren't available for business. "I'm sorry to intrude." He said instinctively. He didn't feel yet that he matured into the body he had. He knew though that his lack of memories caused quite a stir, and he hoped to not cause any more issues while he was conscious of his identity.

Listening to Emi speak about her current situation, Yumi could feel her heart break, especially at the mentioning of the orphanage. She was well aware of the tragedy that had befallen Konoha, having been there during the attack. It was obviously saddening to think about all the children who lost their parents during the attack, but hearing Emi's story warmed her heart. It seemed that the events of that day had effected her the same as it had Yoshiro, spurring them to action. It certainly set her mind at ease to know that someone like Emi was looking out for her son.
With all that was said, Yumi decided to conclude her subtle interrogation. Emi was simply too adorable for her to handle and her only desire at this point was to encourage this precious child. "Oh my. How did my little Yoshi get so lucky, having such a kind soul take an interest in him? He's so fortunate to have you by his side." she said, offering Emiko a warm smile before taking another sip of her tea. "Forgive me if I'm overstepping here, but I think your parents would be very proud of you."
Moments after this exchange, another customer arrived, required Yumi's attention. "No need to apologize, sir. I'll be right with you." Yumi called back to the man. It was probably good that he showed up actually. She had been so caught up in her conversation with Emi that she had been neglecting her responsibilities, namely busing tables as customers had been leaving. Grabbing a bucket of soapy water and a rag from beneath the counter along with a dry rag and a menu, she looked back to Emi. "Well, it was nice speaking with you, sweetie. Feel free to come back any time. You'll always have a place here." She then left to go attend to the young man that had just arrived.
Making quick work of one of the empty tables, Yumi gathered up the dirty dishes in one arm and gestured towards the table with the other. "Please, sir, have a seat." she said in a friendly tone. Once the man was seated, Yumi would pull out the menu she had tucked into her pocket and place it down in front of the boy. "Thank you so much for dining with us today. My name is Yumi and if you have any questions, please let me know. If you already know what you'd like, I'd be happy to go ahead and take your order. If you need some time to think about it though, that's fine too. I can you some tea or water in the mean time." she explained. She didn't recognize this boy so she was betting he would need time to look over the menu, but she didn't want to act of such assumptions. It was bad for business.
While his mother was busy tending to the new arrival, Yoshiro finally reemerged from the kitchen, carefully caring a steaming bowl in each hand. When he saw that his mother was no longer speaking with Emi, he let out a sigh of relief. At least he'd get some peace while the two of them ate. "Here you go, one beef udon." he said, the enthusiasm returning to his tone as he placed a bowl in from of Emi. Despite the stress of the situation, he was still excited that he was getting a chance to cook for her. As great of a fighter as he was, his true pride lied in his culinary skills. After all, he'd learned from the best noodle chef in all of Konoha, his father.
Placing his own bowl down in front of the seat next to Emiko's, Yoshiro retrieved a pair of chopsticks from underneath the counter and placed them next to Emiko's bowl. He then made his way around to the other side of the counter to take a seat next to her. Instinctively, he pulled out his own set of chopsticks and prepared to dive into his bowl. However, just as he was about plunge his chopsticks in, he paused. "Uhhh so I'm sorry if my mom said anything.........weird. She can get pretty nosy when I bring people over. Sooo yeah, sorry about that." he said, though he didn't dare actually look her way, hoping she wouldn't notice the slight blush on his face that came from admitting to his embarrassment. "Welp. Better dig in while it's still hot." he declared, both from his desire to change the subject and to stuff his face. Thus, he dove into his meal, excited to see how it had turned out.
Emiko was visibly uncomfortable as she spoke about her background, Yumi might even catch her sometimes looking away as if ashamed. Her words must have touched Yumi though, as Yoshiro's mom would offer her a smile, saying how lucky Yoshi was to have somebody like her watch over him. She certainly didn't feel lucky at all. It was just her job as a healer for the village. She just happened to spend a lot of time with him and Kairi. After fidgeting around in her seat, Yumi spoke again about her parents. A sensitive subject for the child, but one that she felt was nice of her to say.
"Forgive me if I'm overstepping here, but I think your parents would be very proud of you."
"I-I hope so." She said, doing her best to steer the conversation away from her personal life as much as possible. While she spoke, the door to the shop would open as whoever entered would come inside. "Other than that, I've been getting lessons from another healer. Sonyo. She's really nice and knows a lot about all the different medical jutsu. I hope I can be as good as she is one day." The boy who came in caught Yumi's attention and soon she was off to tend to him but not before offering her a place here. She might have to take them up on that offer, actually. She could use a break from the stiff mattresses from the Around that time, Yoshiro came out with two bowls of beef udon. Emiko's mouth watered the moment that the bowls were placed by Yoshiro.
"Uhhh so I'm sorry if my mom said anything.........weird. She can get pretty nosy when I bring people over. Sooo yeah, sorry about that."
Emiko didn't really mind if that conversation was kind of awkward for all parties involved. She gave a shy smiled at the boy and dug in along with him. The udon was entirely delicious, the chopsticks going at speeds that were never possible before. Emi was also hungry and had her metabolism to keep up with. "Wow! This is really good, Yoshi! I love it!" the child said between mouthfuls of the bowl of food. Hers was finished at a record pace, wiping her mouth and smiling. "Do you have any more?"

__ Tetsuhiko arrived at the noodle restaurant by following the directions on his map. He had a live performance scheduled for this time. When he arrived he was followed by a group of other musicians and groupies who carried the heavy instruments. Tetsuhiko was empty-handed and free as a bird to find the restaurant. Despite several wrong turns and him striking up a conversation about art and beauty with fellow Uzushiogakure citizens, he finally found the place. The other musicians agonized as they carried the excruciatingly heavy instruments. He talked to the restaurant owner as the other performers set up the instruments right outside. Once their "stage" was set Tetsuhiko ran back outside and grabbed the microphone. Standing in front of the band he commanded them to play extremely loud music. "We're talkin' away, I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway, today's anotha' day to find you!" As he sang he pointed to the Uzumaki girl through the window hoping to excite a member of his audience. Granted, his audience outside and inside the restaurant was small and he was likely irritating the customers by playing incredibly loud music over their conversations from outside. It mattered not! Tetsuhiko was here to put on a show and that is what he was going to do if his life depended on it. As he sang the lyrics he energetically ran around and moved his puppet body in unusual ways to add flair to the song. "I'll be coming for your love, okay? TAKE OOOOOON MEEEEEEE! TAKE ME OOOOOOON! I'LL BE GOOOOOOOOONE IN A DAY OR TWOOOOOOO!" Tetsuhiko's voice was beautiful and lively as he hit the notes perfectly with artificially enhanced vocal cords, a key aspect of his puppet body's design. He continuously moved from outside and inside the restaurant in laps to coax patrons to engage with the music. As Tetsuhiko continued to sing he stuck his head between Emiko and Yoshiro before running back to the "stage" outside. "I can tell they love me!" The grand performer thought to himself as he continued the song with gusto. He then made gestures at Emiko and Yoshiro through the window indicating for them to dance.

Taylor smiled when the nice lady directed him. She guided him to a table and he gracefully took a seat. He was then offered either water or tea. "May I have the tea please?" He said, and thanked her when the offer was approved. Taylor then looked at his menu. He had difficulty understanding some of the words. Naturally Taylor's reading comprehension was not high, but a lot of these sounded like foods which were never present within Suna or even the nation of which he was a slave to. There was a bowl named, "Meat lover", and Taylor felt as though that would have to have at least something he would enjoy eating. It was for that reason that, when the lady returned for his order, that he would select that.
Taylor was beyond confused when a diva with a band walked in. The blond boy observed Tetsuhiko and wondered if he was supposed to remember him. He didn't look familiar per say on account of his amnesia, but there was something about him that felt familiarly bizarre. Like a painting seen once as a child and then observed again as an adult. Taylor wondered if he was truly an adult. He had the body of one, but five years of his life were missing. How could he make that up? Before he could get too lost in his thoughts, however, the musician was then forced out of the restaurant. That did not stop the man, however, to start performing outside. Taylor wondered if this would draw more people to the restaurant or make those who are here leave. Either way, the boy wanted to eat his meal.

Sonyo made her way through the restaurant district. She hadn't been this way the last time she had been in the village, though she almost regretted that. The smells flowing from the insides of each door was enough to make her stomach violently rumble. She was having troubles picking where to go though, with so many good choices! That is in til she saw Tetsuhiko making a fool of himself outside one of the restaurants, and thought that it would be as good of a place as any other to sit down... the kid was kinda good at what he did, regardless if she wanted to admit it or not. As she passed by the dark haired puppeteer, she gave him a nod and a soft smile. She wasn't sure if he would remember her, she could count on one hand the amount of times they met in person... she remembered his antics trying to woo the always stoic Sadayo though.
Arriving through the door, Sonyo was first graced by the welcoming sight of a head of fire red hair! It was Emiko again! The jinchuriki couldn't help the smile that slowly spread on her face, Emiko was always such a joy to be around. She reminded her of more simple days.... however the smile was quickly replaced by a look of complete guilt and heartbreak as her eyes trailed across the room and landed on Taylor.
Taylor was here. The child she abandoned was here.
Air escaped her lungs like someone had kicked her in the gut, and her throat threatened to close up under the sob trying to strangle it's way out. The day she dreaded was finally here, she finally had to face what she had done.
Sonyo's mind whirled back to after the evacuation of Sunagakure; everything immediately after being dragged away from Nari was a fog. She hearing about his death on the way out of the village and then... nothing. And then being alone in the forest, living in a tiny handmade shelter. What was she supposed to say if Taylor asked her about why she left? About why she abandoned him? She had no good answers! She couldn't even remember how she ended up in this situation in the first place! Sure she could have gone searching for him, could have made up for her mistakes but the shame had been too much... She couldn't ask Taylor to forgive her, she couldn't even say sorry.

The boy turned his head absentmindedly when the door opened again. In part he was interested if the performer was going to try and come back in. Half baked interested exploded dramatically when he saw the woman who entered. At first, he was just shocked at how shocked she was. She looked like she could faint at his sight. Was he someone who he met without his memory? Did he do something wrong to her? Initially, he wanted to curl up and hide.
Then a memory came; as gentle as a summer breeze.
A young boy was injured. His friend and him fought in a genin tournament. He was sent to the observation deck where a medic would tend to his wounds. The young boy was initially worried of medical ninja. He was afraid because of a lot of pain and hardship he was forced to endure that no boy should ever suffer. And yet, despite his anxiety, a young medical woman treated him. She gave him a warm smile and gentle hands for his shaking hands. She looked at the injured boy and saw a child who needed love. And love she gave, enough love to protect him when a monster of sand threatened to overwhelm their home.
The memories shifted as he recalled standing below the dome of ice that the woman molded. Her heart manifested into icy walls which protected him. He was so powerless then. He was tasked to protect her by a wise man, but she protected him. And, as the final sacrifice of bravery, the woman offered her eternal soul to become the aegis which shielded the home village from its wrath. He remembered feeling like he failed her, failed to protect her. The young boy vowed from that day to protect her, no matter what.
Then another memory came, and the young boy was cornered with the woman against a literal god. The god's intentions were clear; kill the young boy or else the village would die, starting with the woman. The young boy was ready to make the sacrifice this time. He was ready to sacrifice his life to keep everyone safe. And yet, the kind woman refused. She scolded him instead, and her love reminded him that he too was important. The woman could have given him nothing, and instead gave him kindness, love, and purpose. And now that woman stood in front of him.
Sonyo Rue, Taylor's adoptive mother, stood there.
Tears rolled from his face. His legs were shaky as he rose from his seat. He never took his eyes off of her. He feared that if he did, he would lose her all over again. He felt like his heart would break if he did. His footsteps were anxious, but cautious. He moved within touching range. He wanted to touch her. He wanted to hug her. He wanted her love once more. "Mom." He said through his tears. He wiped them away on his wristband. "It's been a long time mom. I-" He gripped his mouth. He couldn't contain his emotions. "I..." He crashed. His arms wrapped around her and he sobbed. His grip was tight, as though he was trying to hold onto the sand the two had once called home. It was ugly sobbing, as though his heart was letting lose everything within it in one outburst. "I missed you." He fought back his emotions to say. His memories were still recovering, so he had no idea how long ago it has been since they saw each other. However, there was a deep, gaping hole within him now that he remembered her. He had no idea why, but he hoped she could help fix it.

Yoshiro watched as Emiko devoured her meal, practically inhaling it. It was an unsettling for him to witness, mostly because he found himself strangely impressed by the display. Still not wanting to be outdone by her, he quickly picked up his own pace. Shoveling chopstick loads of noodles into his mouth, Yoshiro was just putting the last of the dish into his mouth when Emiko announced her appreciation to him. He nearly choked as he forced himself to swallow, causing him to cough a few times. "Good. Glad you liked it." he choked out, letting loose a few more coughs before finally regaining his composure. Adding to his shock, he could hardly believe his ears when Emiko requested a second bowl. How could someone so small eat so much? However, as surprising as these turn events were, they were nothing compared to what was to come.
Before Yoshiro had a chance to respond to Emiko, they were suddenly assaulted by the sound of loud music blaring outside the shop. "What the-" Suddenly a voice joined in with the instruments, drowning out Yoshiro's words. Attached to this voice was a man who was quite unnerving to observe. While his voice wasn't too jarring, a bit to high pitched for Yoshiro's taste, the way he twisted and contorted his body as he moved seemed unnatural, almost inhuman. The worst part though, was that he seemed to have taken some level of interest in himself and Emiko, signalling them to come join him outside. There was no way that was happening though. Yoshiro may have had all the necessary physical qualities of a dancer, he refused to do so on the grounds that it was lame...........and he didn't actually know how.
As awkward as he felt about the prospect of dancing, it was nothing compared to how uncomfortable the come scene would make him feel. Attempting to turn his attention back to Emiko, he caught sight of a blond boy making his way over to a woman that had just arrived at the restaurant. He figured they were just acquaintances or something like that and didn't think much of it at first. However, when he saw the boy begin to break into tears, he knew that something major was about to happen. Sure enough, teary eyes turned to weeping and eventually devolved into sobbing as the boy threw himself onto the the woman (apparently his mother) in a crying mess. While others may have been touched by the reunion, including his own mother, who was watching with teary eyes from the other side of the room, Yoshiro just felt awkward. He wasn't really one for touchy-feely stuff.
Between the shrieking man and the sobbing boy, Yoshiro felt entirely overwhelmed by the current environment. He needed an out, and he needed it fast. But what excuse could he use? Scanning the the room, his eyes fell on Emiko's now empty bowl and he knew exactly how he'd get himself out of this mess. "Oh here! Let me go get you another bowl!" he blurted out, doing his best to force a smile and upbeat tone. Of course, he didn't wait for a response Emiko. He didn't even bother walking around the counter. Instead, he threw himself over it and onto the floor. He was only down for a second or two before jumping back to his feet. He then gathered his and Emiko's bowls and hastily backed his way to the kitchen door. "Alright! Be right back!" he shouted, hoping Emiko could hear him over all the commotion. With that, he disappeared into the kitchen, away from all the madness that had unfolded.
Her quick eating appeared to have stirred a competitive spirit in Yoshiro, watching as he floundered to keep up with face pace. She smirked and moved faster and faster. Part of the perks of living from meal to meal with other children. You learn how to eat fast. Her maw swallowed every last drop of udon just as Yoshi finished his coughing fit. "You should teach me how to cook sometime, Yoshi! I'd die if I could make this good food every time. I could make cereal catch on fire, I'm so bad." She admitted. Not one of her proudest accomplishments but still! Darn flammable milk.
Suddenly loud music burst into the restaurant as musicians and people abound playing boisterous instruments that filled the area with music, even if some was kind of...strange. The leader, or so she guessed, was a slender man who could twist around in such mysterious ways. "Oh! Did you order some kind of band or something?" Emi asked Yoshiro. The man beckoned to them, Emi finding her interest straying just before the sounds of crying could be heard near where the one boy was at. Turning her head in tandem with Yoshiro, Sonyo and the blonde haired boy were hugging one another, both a crying mess. She was curious what the matter was but knew Sonyo probably wanted some privacy with him. Maybe they were siblings or something? Long lost friends. The Genin flashed Sonyo a friendly smile, one to invite her company if she needed it.
"Oh here! Let me go get you another bowl!"
WHUMP! EMiko looked down just in time to see Yoshiro fly over the counter. Worried, Emiko stood up and leaned over. "Yoshi!" Her tone was different than usual. It was like a somebody close who was concerned for another's well being, maybe even like a mother. He pushed himself off and then hurried into the kitchen before Emi could stop him. Huffing, she turned her face to the musician where the sound was coming from and walked over. There was time while Yoshi prepared her food so she might as well kill it. Emiko didn't exactly know how to dance but did so any, flourishing the dance floor with her movements. Just as the song ended, Emi would finish strong. She clapped once and than phantom stepped forward, using her hands and arms to make some wild movements before clapping again.After pointing at Tetsuhiko, she leaned back, crossing her arms and make a playful face at him.
"Nice music!"

__ Tetsuhiko continued singing as he watched Sonyo enter and then hug Taylor in tears. He could only smile and watch the sentimental feelings unfold before him. "They must really love my music! Then again, my art has been known to move people to tears so I shouldn't be shocked..." He then watched as the boy jumped over the counter. That lowered his spirits because he assumed that he was nervous to dance with girls. He supposed that was normal for boys his age though. The marionette man smiled brightly as he watched the girl join in on the fun. When she yelled that she was enjoying the music he was even more excited. The band continued to play the song instrumentally as he left his microphone behind to dance with Emiko. He matched her dance moves because he recognized them. Tetsuhiko allowed his jointed puppet body to move in impossible ways adding flair to his dancing. "I'm glad you like it, dear! What's your name?!" He spoke very loudly over the music to make this girl's acquaintance. Tetsuhiko recognized her from the academy but never interacted with her directly. Anyone who appreciates his art and music would have no trouble getting along with him as far as he was concerned. "I'm the great shinobi artist, Tetsuhiko Hanzo!" He introduced himself proudly without her even needing to ask. Giving his own introduction was one of his greatest joys in life. He continued to dance like an absolute maniac as the music increased in intensity.
