[i]"Special Investigator Matsuoka?"[/i]

Yuuka was surprised to hear her name called and turned her head to face him. The boy standing in front of her was a real cutie. Looked foreign, brown and well-built, like a little [i]mishka[/i]. He couldn't have been more than eighteen years old.

[i]"Rank 3 Investigator Araújo Hisoka. I'm your new partner, I think."[/i]

[i]This[/i] kid [i]is the new recruit? He's not much older than Tatsumi would've been, if he...[/i]

A noodle flopped freely and struck Yuuka right in her good eye, making her wince. Yuuka sighed and brushed the cup and the remaining noodles off of her head. 

"Sorry about that, there was a little thing with some other investigators and uh... anyway, it's unbecoming of me as an investigator to look so messy in front of my new partner. Feel free to chew me out later for my unprofessional behavior, Sergeant Hisoka [i]sir!"[/i] she said, mock saluting. "So you're the newbie, huh? It's nice to meet you. My name's Yuuka. Matsuoka Yuuka, Special Investigator. I'll leave it up to you to decide what to call me."

Yuuka held out her metal hand for Hisoka to shake.
