Ryoko looked to the three. Truth be told, she had saved their bacon during the war, that's why they respected her so highly. She had gained a decent amount of respect for someone who had only passed the academy 2 years ago. Course, no one else knew that except the teachers, Kinami and Roy. Everyone else just thought she was some mysterious ninja that appeared out of no where and made a scene wherever she went.
Red began to swallow hard as he was doing the proper thing by responding to the Kage. He turned and bowed his head, "She...likes to give people nicknames...she says it's funner than remember their real names." He glanced to Ryoko for a moment to see her reaction. She still had the smile on her face. Actually, it had converted to an evil grin. He swallowed hard again.
Laughing a bit, Ryoko looked to Loverboy and smiled, "I have a horrid memory with names for some reason so I tend to just nickname people. I remember those faster. But that aside, I think it could work if you could get her off that subject. Just keep a stock of subjects to switch to if she starts to go all moody and emo on ya." She looked over to the three ANBU in front of her and smiled, "And if that fails, just grab her and kiss her till she shuts up. That should work."
She then thought about what he said for the mission. She thought on it for a moment and grinned again, "Well, your in Iwa now. That mission is labeled as 4 man cell only, right boys?" the color ANBU nodded, "So, you have to follow our rules if you want to do our missions. She has no say in the matter. If you want even more help, I can get Roy to officially seperate your team up like I suggested so they have to obey it. This is when his smart a**-ness comes in handy. Heheh, his words are backed by the councel for the most part since he's the Kage's assisstant. So they'll have no choice if they don't want any trouble."
She began to walk over to the ANBU and playfully hit one of them in the arm...the sound of something cracking could be heard but Ryoko just laughed, "See, fool proof plan right boys?" They only nodded as the one she hit thanked god he had his mask on to hide the pain.

Akane chuckled and nodded. "Ah, names never seem to hit the memory anymore?" He laughed a bit and stood up, "Well looks as though I have no choice." He walked to Ryoko and smiled warmly. "THank you for having so much concern in my love life, its kind of sweet." He then thought for a bit. "You know maybe I should find Yokou and tell her about the homes and mission." He then thought.
"Where is Yokou?" He laughed at himself sighing again. "I have lost my shinobi, ironic its normally them looking for me." He smiled like an old man and sighed one again. "TIme to look for her." He then walked off for the village.

Accompaniment Teaching: 5
Yokou sat quietly on a rough stone bench near the refugee building. Her sensei had left her with quite a talented boy to watch over. A small smile graced her lips - but she was...glad...that she was able to say some words of encouragement...that she wouldn't really be able to say straight forward. The final place she had chosen...was the Konoha group's new home. Kusanagi, transformed into a naginata, clinked dully against her stone perch. In fact, her appearance was entirely altered - flame-red hair, golden eyes, a flowing over cloak of black... The only item which gleamed in her lap...to give away her identity...was a gleaming Konoha headband. Her old forehead protector. She began singing quietly to pass the time. Last night, Yokou had sung a sad song...but one with a bit of hope... This time, her song was filled with hope... She believed with all her heart. As long as there is the future generation...there will be a future for Konoha.
And her song... Museifu... A single tear slipped down her cheek, but in her Henge, Yokou did not bother to wipe it away. For no matter how much she tried to deny it... He...he will always be part of her life...even so far away now... Why...? When before...when it wasn't too late to save her teammate...why hadn't she noticed...? And now...his destructive path...stretches further and further away...from Shikamori...from Zephyr-sensei...from her...
Yura yura to yuganda sora e
Kimi no moto e tonde yuke
Konna ni mo chikaku ni kanjiteru
Futatsu no omoi
Through the wavering, distorted sky
Let them fly to you
That feel so close together
These two loves
Zutto soba ni ita kara
Aita suki ma ookisugite
Namaiki na kimi no sunao na henji
"Mata ne..." ga sabishii
You were always by my side
So the gap you made is so huge
Your cheeky response, "See ya..."
Makes me sad
Minarenai machi de naiteru nara
Soba ni inakutemo egao wa todoketai
If you're crying in an unfamiliar town
Even if I'm not by your side, I want to send you a smile
Yura yura to yuganda sora e
Kimi no moto e tonde yuke
Konna ni mo chikaku ni kanjiteru

Through the wavering, distorted sky
Let them fly to you
That feel so close together
These two loves
Hitorikake no sofaa
Mannaka wo toriatta ne

We each sat in the middle
Of one sofa
We can keep trying
To keep looking at each other forever
Miageta yozora wa kumo ga harete
Yume ni mukatteru hitomi wa kawaranai
When I look up at the night sky, the clouds disappear
My eyes will keep looking towards my dream
Kirakira to kagayaku hoshi wa
Ima mo kimi wo terashiteru
Deatta hi to kawaranu sora no shita
Hitotsu no chikai
Even now, the shining, sparkling stars
Are shining on you
Under the sky that hadn't changed since the day we met
We made a single vow
Hanasu toki ni kami wo sawaru kuse ga utsutte iru
Hitorikiri de nemuru
Mune no itami sae kitto kizuna
I can see your habit of touching your hair when you talk
As I sleep alone
Even the pain in our hearts is surely a bond
Yura yura to yuganda sora e
Kimi no moto e tonde yuke
Konna ni mo chikaku ni kanjiteru
Futatsu no omoi
Through the wavering, distorted sky
Let them fly to you
That feel so close together
These two loves
Kirakira to kagayaku hoshi wa
Itsumo futari utsushiteru
Deatta hi to kawaranu sora no shita
Hitotsu no chikai
The shining, sparkling stars
Always reflect the two of us
Under the sky that hadn't changed since the day we met
We made a single vow

Satoshi panted a bit as he found himself finally standing before Yokou. Her appearance was completely different and with far less clues then the clones had. In fact if one hadn’t bothered to look at her lap or had seen her from behind they would have had no clue who she really was. Satoshi however, had the luck (finally) to see her from the front and thus had noticed the Konoha head band that she had displayed before her. Satoshi gave a small bow to Yokou, making it seem as exasperated as he truly was.
When Satoshi finally rose from his bow he was beaming with a giant smile. He then turned towards Yokou and said, “I have finally found you sannin-sempai. It took me quite a while that last time, you truly hid yourself well. However, in the end I finally located you. That was a beautiful song you were singing too.” It was then that Satoshi noticed the single tear that had been moving along her face. Satoshi stood up, a concern look now splayed across his face. He then said, “What is wrong sempai? Is something the matter?” Satoshi then stood quite wondering what could have saddened her so.

Her song finished as Satoshi ran into sight. Yokou raised her head slowly and her golden eyes...piercing as always, even if they looked different...stared directly into the Senju boy's. And then, a sad smile, this time, was on her face. "That song...I first sang...when my Genin team was still complete." She whispered. "It...was a long time ago...before I gave up...hoping my team will be the same again." She shook her head sorrowfully, long, wavy red hair flowing gently in the slight breeze. "You did well. Sensei will be pleased." Like a cast of silver, the henge swirled around her, falling away - her normal appearance, long dark blue hair, Hyuuga traditional robes...Kusanagi and all. "Come, Satoshi-kun. Let's go. Knowing Sensei...I have a fairly good idea where he is..." As usual, her voice was quiet...with a hint of serene melody.

Satoshi kept the concerned look as he heard her story, his mind remarking on even in her false form how beautiful she was. Satoshi was rather young, but he was a bit more mature then boys his age. He wasn’t necessarily pursuing relationships with girls, but he did think the occasional girl was cute. Satoshi nodded his head as he listened to Yokou speak wondering just what had happened to this original genin team. Satoshi did smile after a bit when Yokou eventually complimented him. Satoshi gave a small nod of his head as he watched her revert back to her original form. He then followed her silently excited that he would get the chance to see the Senju master so soon.

It had been a long night for Raisuke. The festival seemed as if it lasted forever. Then when he had come in, his mother had already been asleep. It was a good thing too. He didn't want to explain to her that he had basically been up all night just having fun while leaving her at home. But he most likely would have made something up, like some kind of special training. Not that it would have done any good, she always caught him when he lied. It was like she could stare holes right through him. And after that hectic night of meeting Harumi, Shizuka's older sister, he probably couldn't have taken anything more.
As Raisuke sat up, he would stretch his long slender body. Cracking and popping many bones. Mostly his back that was effected from the impact that he had with the wall last night while trying to get Shizuka home. As he was done stretching he would just roll of his bed to the floor, laying on his back. It was time to start his morning exercises. A little routine he had started to get himself into the shape he is in. Still he couldn't help but remember Harumi's line about him not being developed in a manly way. He would be unable to shape his muscles like he had been working on if he hadn't atleast started to hit puberty. He indeed, was an early bloomer in some cases.
As he laid on his back, his muscles would contract. It was like he knew what was coming up for him. His tightly toned body was just lying on the floor for a moment. He was still in nothing but boxers, he found it hard to sleep in any other way. As he would pull his head toward the ceiling he could feel his muscles tighten. But he was pushing chakra against the resistance of his muscles. He was hoping that a method like this would help him gain even more resilience.

Rai would have been able to just barely push through that one. His control in his chakra had gotten much stronger since the last time he had done any work out like this. As he got his body completely curled he would let out a gasp. Maybe I should use less chakra with it.. He would think to himself as he let himself fall back to the floor. He would take a second to catch his breath.
He hadn't focused any less chakra into it this time. Maybe more. He would struggle to force himself up. And as he got about halfway up he would get a mental picture in his head. One that no twelve year old kid should have. He remember the sight of a naked Henka dancing around ontop of Tsuchikage tower. He would lose concentration and his chakra would cause him to tense up badly enough to make his stomach hurt.

Raisuke would just lay there for a short moment. His stomach making him cough from the retracting muscles. His thoughts needed to stay focused. It seemed like since he became a gennin there was all sorts of weird people around him now. But he couldn't pin point why. But after catching his breath he would decide to get back to his exercises. He would feel his muscles pulsing as he had channeled chakra through them. He would release the chakra as he fully rose in the sit up. His head would fall back as he finished.
He would jump up and then go to his clothing. It was all new now. He would take a few minutes and gather his weapons and everything he required. As he was making his way to the door he would speak out, "Im going to train with sensei, I will be back soon enough." Then before he would give his mother a chance to respond he would disappear out the door.

One of the two ANBU distributed to contact the Hyuuga leader appeared within the refugee district. He had no real clue where the Hyuuga leader was. He figured this was the best place to start. A knock would come on the door of the room that lead to teh Konoha group domain. He had a message for them about the Kage of Ame.

"Chiisai-hime, try adjusting your pitch again."
Yokou was currently attempting to teach her daughter perfect pitch but so far, every time the child neared soprano, her voice will begin to crack. "Try softening the tone, perhaps lower your head a little... It would help with hitting the right notes." Elruda tried again, only resulting in another disastrous screech. The head of Hyuuga family made no movement to cover her ears, only sweatdropped a bit. "Eh...you were close, chiisai-hime. Just a little bit lower... Like this..." Yokou took a deep breath and a melodious second octave 'do' echoed around the room.
The Konoha group's refugee quarters weren't that big but it was comfortable and because the group was quite clean, added a sense of spaciousness to their quarters. The rooms were mostly allotted by the clan members of a specific family most present and the lesser number clans would share rooms. They had a pretty good wing of the house, well sunny lit just as the Senju and Nara clans so dearly had loved.

A knock came upon the door. As it would ope, one of the Iwa ANBU would be standing there. He would bow his head in respect to the members of the house that were present.
"Lady Hyuuga. I come with urgent news. An ambassedor from the village of Ame has arrived wishing to speak with you." Of course he kew the guy wanted to see the WHOLE clan but Iwa wasn't about to bow down to the exact demands of some guy who just came bursting in.

It was still early, so Roxanne hadn't gone to work yet at the cafe. Zephyr was somewhere in one of the rooms allotted to the Konoha group, apparently knocked out from binge drinking. He actually looked extraordinarily adorable, in innocent child form, sucking on his thumb as he contentedly sighed in his sleep, turning again, before embracing a pillow.
The raven-haired kunoichi paused when one of Iwa's ANBU came requesting Lady Yokou's presence. The Jounin cast another moment's glance at the bowing ANBU. "Ame? I figured as much. Yokou-dono, I beseech you to allow me..." But Yokou interrupted, smiling, a single gauntleted palm raised. "Be at ease Roxanne. I will not need any guards. Only chiisai-hime and her friend needs to come with me." She advanced forward a single step before sweeping into a regal bow. "Please." Her gesture of being ready to go before following the ANBU.
Elruda could be seen nervously wringing at the lovely embroidered red kimono she was wearing. Her mother had swept up her hair too and placed in two long hairpins (the Asian ones that looks like chopsticks in a way), one of carved ebony wood with a small golden ornament and the other with an amber jewel on either end of the hairpin. The child looked like a porcelain doll, certainly presentable for the public's eye.
She cast a moment's glance at Sakeme. It was one of worry.

Sakeme had been silent the whole time, pondering what they would have to do. It wasn't until the news of an ANBU from Ame being here that she was somewhat relieved. She didn't return a worried glance to Elruda. "It'll be fine. I think it's Xin... he's very diplomatic and will understand the situation... I'm sure a comprimise can be made..." She was speaking the truth... she hoped, she just based what she said off of what she learned from him. Silent once more she exited with the two.

Elruda was wrong, the refugee house was probably the furthest point away from the Kage Tower. But since they walked at a fairly quick pace, to avoid unceremoniously being shoved around once caught in Iwa's rush hour, it didn't take that long. While it might not have been the shinobi's normal speed of movement (as otherwise Elruda and Sakeme might've trouble keeping up), they were generally able to avoid sudden crowds.
The Konoha group was pretty large and opted to stay together, so they were residing in the main refugee house, a grand red-brick and white-framed window building. Yokou would not know of the living conditions of the other refugees but actually, the Konoha group probably received the best hospitable treatment. The place was clean, not exactly perfectly spotless as Yokou would've preferred, but it was endurable. When Zephyr wasn't off doing something odd or terribly drunk, he would play with the other kids...and as Konoha's former medical head, as well as diagnosing any health problems Yokou couldn't pinpoint.
However, at this very moment, the same said Sannin was snoring away soundly in his bed. It was a mystery really just how he had managed to keep on his ridiculous kid-henge form even in his sleep. One thumb was in the same said Sannin's mouth; Zephyr sucking away contentedly like a new-born baby before turning every once in a while. All in all, he really did look like a kid of seven or eight...extraordinarily handsome face framed by raven hair, now messy from sleep.
The charm would not work on Yokou however, and as quick as lightning, one pale hand was on Zephyr's ear. She ignored the unceremonious howl of pain and with a flick of her arm, sent the "kid" crashing into the nearest wall.
"...what time do you think it is..." It wasn't a question, more of a demand.
