Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cicero followed the group into the hotel and suddenly was overcome with self consciousness at the tackyness of her village's hotel. " Um, Kazekage-sama, why don't you follow me to my administration office. This hotel is not a good place to conduct business." Cicero ran outside and caught up wit Roy. She dug into her pocket, took out 1000 dollars and handed it to Roy " You know that vacant room next to my bedroom in the administration building? I don't care how you do it but make it into a nicely furnished bedroom. That was all the money I saved up to build an erobakakage monument. You better not buy any stupid furniture with it. If there's going to be one nice room in this dump it's going to be that one got it? " she then went back into the hotel " Please, this way kazekage-sama."

Kei finally had found her way into the hotel and gotten her vision back at the same time. Yay. She looked around for the one who had blinded her in the first place and walked up to him. "Hey. Why're your teeth brighter than the sign?" Sure she was being blunt but Kei had spent most of her time asleep so she never really found out that being like that wasn't all that nice.

Gaara watched Cicero rush out of the hotel and come back. He was a little bewildered at it but followed her to administration building. "Erobakakage-sama, do you know why Kankuro and I are here?" It just occurred to Gaara now that he didn't know why he was there. Being Kazekage and all, he really should have known this before leaving. Oh well. That meant someone else would have to know why.

((Sheesh people! I'm gone for one day and BAM! The story takes off...Well, at any rate I'm going to escort Shika to his room...'Cuz I said so.))

"Well, I'm not entirely sure as to why you're here but we're glad you showed up. This village has been really dull since we finished building it." Sheena said, hoping that the brown haired boy she was escourting to his room would speak...She was not that good at talking to cute guys.

"Here we are!~" Sheena said as they stood outside his room.



"Thanks," He said. As he walked into the doorway of his room he paused, turned around and said "By the way, my name is Nara Shikamaru." He had never introduced himself earlier.

"Oh, Okay Shikamaru-san. If you need anything let me know!~" Sheena said as she walked away and He went into his room...Probably to sleep.

Sheena was wondering what Cicero was doing so she went off to find her...After all, Sheena was almost never all that far from her Sensei!

"LEE!" Ano yelled and glomped the spandex covered chunnin. "I can't believe it's you! I have heard of your youthfulness and now I get to see you in person!" She had gone full blown fangirl.

Shino was followinf everyone else and twitched when she saw a silver blue haired girl glomp Lee. He sighed again when he heard her coments. "Not another one..." He dreaded spproaching her, but he was hungry. He stuck with Naruto. "Any idea who that loud blue haired girl is Naruto?"

Kakashi had just waltzed through the gates and was walking along the street still reading his book. He didn't really care why he had to be here. He just hoped they had the new copy of Icha Icha.

" Oh, I see how it is. You see someone who's loud and obnoxious and you automatically assume I know who it is." Naruto said in response to Shino. " Hi Kiba." he said as Kiba sat down next to him " The people sure are friendly here. Have you noticed that all seem to be girls though. Ero-sennin would love this place." He said with a slight shudder.

Lee was explaining to Kei about good oral hygine and how to get your teeth so dangerously bright he was suddenly glomped by someone. ' What!? I didn't even sense her approaching. She must be a master ninja.' " Um...Hello..." said Lee to the strange glomping person " How exactly do you know about me? I know my sensei likes to brag about my youthfulness but I don't think he's been on any missions here..."

" I assumed you wanted to talk to me about some sort of diplomatic matters." Said Cicero once she and Gaara were in her office with the door closed " I didn't invite you here...or any of the people here. I thought you were the one coming to visit me."

Haku hefted a sigh when he wound up back where he'd started... however, he spotted some familiar figures at the Ramen stand, and entrance of the village. "Naruto-san... Kakashi..." the teen mumbled, blinking.


Roy wound up sitting at the Ramen stand again, yawning a bit. She was tempted to put up a 'foreign ninja go here' with a big arrow so they wouldn't wander around so much. She wondered if Cicero wanted her to get them rooms, too. Pulling out her book, she began reading it again, every-so-often giving a few giggles and swoons while she read.


Kankuro blinked as he watched Gaara walk off with the Kage of the village. He gave a groan of distaste as he looked around the lobby of the hotel again, and wandered back outside. There, he spotted some more people who seemed to have arrived recently. He gave almost an annoyed yawn as he looked around some more, shoving his hands into his pockets and deciding to wander around a bit.

"Hai! Then let us go for a walk Lee-chan," Ano said and grabbed his hand. She led him to the street and started to walk down it. "So... what do you want to talk about?"

Shino had too laugh at that response. "Sorry Naruto." He greeted Kiba with a nod of his head and noticeed Kakashi walking down the street with a book in front of his nose. "Isn't that your sensei Naruto?"

Kakashi had indeed been walking down that very same street and had glanced around. He saw the leaf nin and waved.
