Sayuri walked the streets, her black hair reflecting the streetlights above her. At this time, the streets were largely empty, save a few people. They were mostly going to their work - some worked in a wood workshop down the street. She shivered. Some kids walked past, then turned around to take another look at her. [i]“Look, it's Miss Amaya from the Rain Village.”[/i] they whispered to eachother before running off again. She shook her head. Deep inside Sayuri had hoped to be recognised for something more than the place she was born. 

Sayuri went into an alleyway on the left, which would lead towards one of the larger roads in this town. From there she'd be able to reach the Kage's house easily as it was just down the road to the village center. This area was a little bit more crowded, with people milling out and around walking to where ever they had to go. A few of them stopped to take a closer look at this woman from Amegakure, but most were already used to having her around. Sayuri was about to walk up to the village center when an old lady grabbed her by her arm. [i]“Sayuri-chan, please, come with me! I have to show you something.”[/i] Sayuri really wanted to sigh really deep and rip her arm loose, but for the sake of kindness and politeness she smiled at the lady and answered her. [b]“Okay, miss Bayachi.”[/b] This woman was a pretty good ''chef.'' In reality, what she did was closer to making small snacks and then selling them to the people, but she preferred to be called a chef because of her education in Konoha she had received in making ramen. 

As Sayuri and the lady arrived at her small marketstall near the kage's offices, lady Bayachi let go of Sayuri's arm and showed her what she had wanted to show her; on the stall stood a large bowl of satay. Small amounts of steam were coming off of the satay as the snowflakes falling onto it quickly evaporated. [i]“What do you think, Sayuri-chan?!”[/i] she exclaimed, almost yelling at Sayuri. She answered simply: [b]“It's wonderful, mis Bayachi.”[/b] The old lady continued, much to the dislike of Sayuri as she just wanted to go to see the kage and this important meeting that he had called her for. Supposedly Kato Byukaya, one of her fellow jonin, had been called as well. Likely the kage just needed two victims to clean out his filing cabinets.. as always. [i]“Oh reaaaally? You think so Sayuri-chan? Oooooóh, it is such a delight to hear that. Here, please take these with you for the Yukikage!”[/i] Sayuri let out a mental sigh. This woman and her food. 

Sayuri got handed a plastic bag with the old ladies logo on it - an ugly version of the Yukigakure logo with ''Bayachi Foods Inc.'' under it in red letters - with some satay in it. Sayuri bowed for the old lady, whom returned the favor, then quickly walked off towards the Yukikage's offices. She had wasted enough time already and hated to be late. When she arrived she was glad to see that Kato Byakuya hadn't arrived yet, as that would mean she wasn't as punctual as everyone always says she is. She contemplated whether or not she should wait for Kato Byakuya to arrive before entering the room, and decided that it was probably good to get to know her fellow sensei's a bit better. She had seen this Kato's name a few times in the various documents she had to read, and he was supposedly a really good swordsman. Besides that, he had the ice release. So all in all he sounded rather strong. However, he was also a total hard ass and Sayuri had heard through some of her contacts that this guy had failed quite a few students. Somewhere deep inside her heart she felt bad for all those genin. Regardless of her attitude towards the jonin, he was likely different in person than some might say about him. So she waited for this man to arrive, and hoped that he wasn't the type of person to always be late.
