Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hiroko shyly made her way over to Mizo, since he was from sand. She didn't know him, but she took a tiny sliver of comfort being with a fellow sand nin. "Hi...Thanks....Hey, umm...Have you seen Kankuro-san?" she asked, looking around for the fellow puppet master.

Hiroko looked up at Kankuro and smiled, though it turned into a frown. "Yeah...I was..." she answered, looking up at him. "You don't remember me well....do you?" she asked, a little disappointed.

Hiroko sighed. "I...I used to play with your little brother all the time...I'm Hiroko..." she said shyly before pulling Chyose down from he shoulder. "...And this is Chyose..." she finished, hoping her prize little puppet would jog Kankuro's memory.
((Tek told me about Zaka...Teehee...I hope you don't mind...))

Mizo leanded foward and looked around Hiroko at Kankuro "I appolagize interupting, but I saw your Fight, Kankuro was it? it was very impresive, you have exclent control when dealing with multiple puppets, To tell you the truth, one of my reasons for coming here was to how many sand ninja succed. I hope you pass" Mizo said to Kankuro, then added "Do you think theres a chance that I might get a chance to speak to Lord Kazakage before he leaves back to sand? I need to speak to him about joining a ninja team." Mizo then turned to Hiroko and asked her " what about you? have you already joined up with a ninja team? If you havent maby we should try to get on the same team, and might i add thats a nice puppet you have there."

Hiroko felt like she could cry. The one person who should remember her, didn't...and that hurt a bit inside. She hid her emotions though, as she turned to Mizo. "Thank you...Chyose IS pretty cool, huh?" she asked with a closed-eye smile. "I wonder who our third will be....I hope they're good... ...I'm afraid I might slow the team down..." she said as she looked down at the floor. She had never really thought that she could be strong, she became a shinobi so that maybe she could get out of her shy bubble. She turned back to Kankuro. "I hope you win too, Kankuro-san....maybe once you're a chuunin, we can work on getting you to remember me" she said with a giggle as she poked his chest.

Hiroko's eyes widened in wonderment when she saw Kankuro's tattoo. "Woah!...Kankuro-san!, when this is over, could you teach me how to do that?!" she asked, excited and hopeful. She hated trying to carry her large scroll all over the place.

Kiroko smiled, looking down into the arena. "I hope to be that strong...but i don't know if I ever really could..." she said, feeling a bit down. On top of her self doubt, there was of course that thing about Kankuro not knowing who she was...not to mention that she couldn't be part of a full team yet.
