A large smile spread across her face and she chuckled, both matched by the swaying tail just behind. Despite her intial dislike, she was pleased with how he responded. He seemed like the type that she could get alone with on equal terms, but more bullying was in order for that. "Oh? Flattery will get you nowhere, but I appreciate it all the same." Her yellow eyes flicked towards the mission scrolls that were placed on the secretary's desk, the woman's presence largely unnoticed due to her meek personality. Misaki quickly stepped to the desk and snatched up all three of the scrolls, giving a quick nod to the woman. She was particularly excited about the b rank mission that was laid out before them, and sure that the next few days were going to be fun. Also a good opportunity to size up her new male companion if he decided to come along. He'd have to if he wanted to bid for any of the missions anyway.
"Mine's Misaki, now let's go pretty boy. Fame and fortune await us and there's no time to lose." She stuck her out her tongue and bolted through the doorway, intent on knocking out the largest undertaking of the three first.
Still bothering you? Punch it again."

Ronnel Hanaya | Offensive Medic |Soragakure Genin
Ronnel rubbed his eyes with one hand, sighing in exasperation. Great, the hyperactive girl who didn't like him had the mission scrolls. He started walking after her, pausing to bow apologetically to Motoko before leaving the office.
"Come back here you overexcited kit! We need take a lower rank mission to get you gear for the higher one!"
Iki moved out of the way as a girl carrying a bunch of scrolls went flying by. At least, he thought it was a girl. She smelled like one but he was pretty sure he saw a tail. He'd never seen a girl with a tail before. At least, not one that moved like that. Shaking his head, Iki continued down the hallway towards the secretary’s office. He wanted to continue his training, but the village was kind of in a pinch. Iki rubbed elbows with everyone from low to high, and he could tell they all felt it. While his training was the most important thing to him, he acknowledged he needed to do his share. What was the point of gathering favors if everyone thought you were just out for yourself anyway? Iki moved out of the way to allow Ronnel to pass, giving him an enthusiastic smile as he entered the office.
When he saw Motoko he paused and readjusted his jacket, suddenly conscious of his appearance. He gave her a bow far more formal than his appearance and stepped forward to introduce himself. "Iki Yabo. I'm a genin looking for an assignment. I heard that I could help if I came here?" He tried to be professional and look her in the eye, but as a blush crept into his face he turned to look at the suddenly more interesting scenery outside the window.
[Motoko the Secretary] Motoko shied away from Misaki who just seemed so in charge and ready to kick down a door. With a very shy smile and wave the secretary sent off Ronnel. He was a handsome boy. In what seemed like no time at all yet another genin was walking in asking for missions. It was getting increasingly difficult to come up with missions on the fly. Motoko pushed three scrolls over the desk to Iki.

TABTAB Suki walked into the building that was the kage's office. She had been in the village for quite some time, but never had a reason to come until now. As she entered, one thing stood out as she scanned the entry room, beyond all the mundane activities: a scorch mark on the wall. It looked like the result of someone not controlling their Keaton element and went a little too trigger happy. The wall should have been fixed, but it seemed to serve as a momento. Of what, Suki did not have a clue. It was a needless observation that wasted what little time she could use. TABTAB She got directions from a worker and made her way to the kage's home-away-from-home, though found it occupied by so,done already in audience. Not one to interrupt people's moments, Suki instead leaned against the wall outside the office, her katana sheathes clanking as they hit the wall and her shadow showing just enough to be visible within the room.

[Ooc: I apologize for my absence, friend. PC was on the fritz and only just got it repaired. I'm your new Sorakage smile ]
The door to the Sorakage's office flung open, operated by a strange set of threads. These threads were rich with chakra circulating through them, but still maintained a look that was exactly like that of steel wire. Within the office was a bleak, extremely plain office. Against the back wall, which was adorned with a single window that stretched across its entirety, was a desk that was stacked with books and piles of completed paperwork. Not a single document hadn't gone under review and been marked with a verification stamp, afterward bound by a leather strap. It may have been an odd sight for a stack of paperwork in a Kage's office to be completed, but the man sitting at that desk wasn't a typical Kage.
"Come over here, miss," said the man at the desk. This man was named Danshaku Seika, known as the head of the Seika Clan and one of the world's greatest musicians. His name had been known in the village for quite some time due to his service as a shinobi under the Sorakage before him. He had led many successful missions to bring the village glory, never even having to unlock his full power. His new position as the Sorakage had definitely been earned by his performance and known skill. At this point in time, all he had left to do was prove himself.
"I need to know something about you." Dan was sitting in his chair at his desk and staring at two objects in front of him. They were two pieces of fruit, each strung up and levitating in the air, hung by the same type of thread that had opened the door. Dan had his hands folded in front off his face as he was staring intently at this fruit. One of these fruits was a mango, yellow and ripe with flavor. It was in its prime. The other was pear. This pear was slightly less than ripe, but its color was magnificent. If about another twelve hours was given on this fruit, it would reach its peak ripeness. "I need to know what you prefer. Do you like pears or mangoes? Don't worry about the reasons for this question, just answer it."

TABTAB Daisuke Ishiwatari. That was the name of the guy the new Sorakage reminded her of. Daisuke had been a brilliant musician, fairly lax, and had chakra control unlike anything she had seen before save a particular Shikigami. It was no insult to compare the two men, even if Daisuke was not around anymore and Dan Seika was. TABTAB The address the Kage used, though, ended her good-will thoughts. Miss? She was not that old, even if she had started her shinobi career a little late due to certain circumstances. It made her feel that much older, even if she knew he only addressed her in this way out of respect. "Suki, and the mango." It was key ingredient for a special brew her father use to make. With the question answered, she eyed the chakra strings Dan used. A voice echoed in her head, familiar and close to her heart. The chakra strings did not flux at all, signifying an extreme control of chakra. He was highly skilled, as if it were not obvious. After talking to him, she would hopefully get a better read on him.

"Suki, yes! I like you, Suki!" Dan hopped up out of his chair and, in that moment, the whole room would suddenly be visible with these same threads. Dan's arms would shoot out, fingers twitching like a marionette controller, and then moves in an odd pattern, first his left arm shooting above him and his arm dropping limply below him, immediately changed as his arms then cross over in front of him. An odd look came over his face as he strained his muscles, making it look like he was about to drop the mother of all deuces. The wires tightened around the fruits and then seemed to vanish. The fruits would fall down to the desk as Dan fell back into his seat and assumed his previous position. The fruit stood perfectly still on the desk, standing straight up, for a few seconds. Seconds later, the fruit fell apart, sliced into edible bits. "Feel free to take some of this fruit, Suki." Dan stood up from the chair and then walked around his desk to look at the girl that stood before him. She wasn't too short by normal standards, but she was rather tall to Dan's standard. After all, he was very small compared to some of the other shinobi in the village, standing at five feet and nine inches. This girl was only four inches shorter than he, making her seem rather tall. The contrast between the fiery hue of her hair and the oceanic blue of her eyes really stuck out to him, though, along with the piercing in her ears, which made him uncomfortable. It was unknown why Dan was nervous around facial piercings, but he could sometime accept ear piercings.
"So, Suki, what brings you in today? Wanted to try some fruit? Wanna challenge me to a rap battle? Wanna swing around the village? I can give to a grapple to slide along wires if you need. Now that I think of it, those are neat things. I don't use them, though. I use my own wires. I like my wires. They're pretty useful. After all, I couldn't fight without them. They're kind of my biggest asset. I do think that they're the only reason I got this job. And I do like this job. I haven't been in this position very long, but I do know that I'll like being here. Do you like me being here? I hope so. But then again, you haven't really seen what I can do as a Kage, yet. But what do you think of me so far? Do you think I'll do alright?" The long string of questions and statements was just one of Dan's many quirks. Even though he was one of the strongest in the village, if not the strongest, he was an oddball above all else.

TABTAB Suki took her time, watching Dan as he... 'Worked'. The facial expressions he gave off we're odd to say the least. However, everything that was done with a certain type of accuracy and control. She looked over the fruits that were released from his control and took a piece of mango, biting into it as he neared her. She crossed her arms beneath her chest as he began to rattle off, and did not finish her bite into the fruit piece until he finished. She took the piece out of her mouth, chewed, swallowed, sighed, then looked into Dan's eyes with her hands on her hips. "I would like to be assigned a mission, sure, no, I would rather walk, not sure yet, you remind me of a certain annoying someone, and yes." Her weight shifted to her left leg, bowing her right leg a little. Yup, Daisuke through and through. And this pissed off Suki to an almost extreme end, though she did her best to keep her expression and body language calm and normal. It was not Dan's fault and usually Suki was impulsive when it came to her emotions, though she tried her best to not necessarily suppress them but mask them. It was a trait that was unbecoming and extraordinary about her family's line. Then she actually smiled, soft and small. Her right hand that was on the side of her hip gripped the hilt of the katana sheathed on a back-waist mounted sheath and drew it while twisting her body and swung it at the Kage. Foolish, maybe, but she trusted her instincts over everything else. Another family trait. The swing was not held back in terms of strength or speed, and she would not stop at the last second like some sort of tease.

Dan laughed and got closer to Suki, putting his face just a few inches away from hers, smiling like an idiot. "You remind me a lot of my daughter, Suki. I like that." The Sorakage walked away from the girl, flicking his wrist around and operating some wires around the room. The paperwork was bound tighter and then lifted, place into a drawer inside the desk which was also opened by the wires. Other paperwork was cleared from the desk and stacked neatly against the side of the wall. By the time Dan reached the door of his office, his whole desk had been cleaned by his wire operations. "I received a notice this morning about some weird situation. They requested my services personally, but I suppose you could be of assistance to me in this." Dan walked through the doors of his office and then made his way towards his village, expecting Suki to follow him.

TABTAB Suki's face seemed to grow as red as her hair after the Kage left the office. She grimaced, then followed. She already had a father. Someone who had been courageous and brave. Someone willing to allow his people to hate him if it meant saving them and not making them mourn the tragic loss. That's what Aniki had said: it was better for others to hate someone than mourn them, better to have them move on with their lives than keep them chained to the past.
She also hated people who wore masks that hid their true emotions, but then again she was a hypocrite.

Dante let out a groan as he shielded his eyes from the glaring sun. He had just woken up and was out the door instantly. You could easily tell by the look on his face as well as his hair that he didn't even take time to proper clean himself up. He knew he was running late, he was suppose to be at the office of the Sorakage a lot sooner then he had woken up by. He looked up he realized he had finally reached the building where he was headed. His sour look on his face instantly turned into a wide grin, from ear to ear. He quickly ran up the steps of the building and into the office. He quickly found where he was heading and knocked on the door. "Uhhh hello? Sir?"
[Motoko the Secretary]
