[hr] [color=orange][b]"Of course I've heard of you, Kat."[/b][/color] He was being unrespectful from the get-go. It seemed to run in the family. Mikoto got a tray with meat, veggies, a small piece of bread and instead of water or something like so, he picked up some milk. Everything part of his extremely picky (and gay) diet menu. He sat down right in front of Katsuko and started eating himself. Of course, his responses did not come until all of his food was safely passing down his throat and forward to his stomach. He found it in extremely bad taste for someone to talk with their mouth full, an habit he even managed to push on Kanata. [color=orange][b]"I see that your own reason to join the Red Sages is quite deeper that my own. It has a tint of... romance, if I might say so. My own is not quite so novel. Let's start from the beginning, then."[/b][/color] Mikoto then brought his fist near to his mouth and cleared his throat. [color=orange][b]"My name, as you may or may not have heard, is Mikoto Amatsurahashi. Hard to pronounce, I know. I am a straight male and I hail from Kirigakure. I became a shinobi out of the feeling of adventure and mystery it brought to my soul, but..."[/b][/color] He frowns as he continues his story. [color=orange][b]"But it didn't quite feel real. Winning money just because you are a shinobi just didn't feel right, not to mention that I could not find the adventure and mystery my soul longed for so. So, I decided to become a part of the Red Sages and take back true freedom for ourselves."[/b][/color] Mikoto said, seemingly having ended his grandiose introduction. Even if his wasn't as interesting as Katsuko's, joining because of the death of his father, he certainly did make it seem more dramatic with all the extra words he added. After that, Mikoto brought his cup forward to his mouth to take a sip out of the milk and whispered, [color=orange][b]"I also have the war I wanted for so long."[/b][/color] He did not want Katsuko to start questioning him if he had heard what he whispered. [color=orange][b]"So, how should we coordinate ourselves should trouble arise tomorrow? I am used to fighting in pairs, but I've never fought with another, full offensive kind of guy like myself."[/b][/color] [hr] [@j8cob] [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/Qh4zVik.png[/img] [color=ec008c][h3]Kanata, Undecided, Was just bitch-slapped.[/h3][/color][/center] [hr] Kanata laughed at Yakoul after the coffee thing. 'Fuckeddy', she'd have to add that to her repertory. Before long, though, Yakoul decided that it was no longer funny and approached Kanata silently. She hurried out of the sofa. Was it going to scold her? Or hit her? Or-?! Yep, hit her was the right one. With its tail, the thing had just slapped her. The slap was so strong that it made Kanata turn the other way. She brought a single hand to her cheek and turned to Yakoul again, [color=ec008c][b]"W-What the hell was that-!?"[/b][/color] She was about to berate it for what it had just done, but something it said made her change her mind. When he called her a little cunt, Kanata knew that the cat was no longer fucking around. Seemingly, the coffee thing had made it upset. Kanata did not want to fuck (in the figurative sense) with Yakoul when he was upset. She bit her tongue and held her venomous words back. Right now, it could only work against her. She knew that one day she'd make for a pretty corpse, but just not today and at the hands of her superior. Too ridiculous. [color=ec008c][b]"I understand, B-B..."[/b][/color] The word just burnt her tongue. She couldn't see the thing as someone worthy of respect. [color=ec008c][b]"B-Boss."[/b][/color] After stuttering a lot, Kanata finally got the damn thing out. She hoped Yakoul had a recorder at hand, since it'd never hear her say that again. Yeah, might as well just call it Yakoul. He also noticed that she was tense, so maybe some respect really was in order. After that, Tanji suggested something good to dispel the suddenly tense atmosphere they found themselves in. [color=ec008c][b]"Well, I am good at ninjutsu and genjutsu, but I've never really been of the offensive kind... at least not in battle. I consider myself to be good support, though."[/b][/color] Kanata started explaining her own strengths in combat, while still caressing the cheek she was hit in. Yeah, it'd leave a mark, most probably. Now, Kanata's eyes turned a bit sad, but more than anything, angry. [color=ec008c][b]"I used to help my idiot brother in battle a lot too, so I guess you can say I've some experience at this. What about you, Yakoul, err, sama."[/b][/color] If she just replaced Yakoul with 'cat' in her head, she would have no problem calling the cat with the proper honorific of 'sama'. [color=ec008c][b]"But, well, you are unusually perky about this, Tanji-kun. Does looking for rebels entertain you that much?"[/b][/color] She would turn to Tanji after Yakoul was done speaking.

She had heard the woman coming from even before she entered his visible range. Her step had a clear confident and authoritarian tune to it. Though he had her pegged for a woman with a low sense of responsibility, he really did not think she would make senseless jokes like the one she just did. [color=00aeef][b]"I can eat just fine, thank you."[/b][/color] Though clearly annoyed, Anzai did not make any more comments regarding the stupid joke she had just met. He had gone against the woman once, when she was testing whether he was worthy of joining or not. It was an experience Anzai was not eager to repeat, at least not until he was stronger. He also noticed that Tametomo was leaning forward and exposing some of her busom. He felt inclined to say that he just wasn't interested in things like that, but rather kept his mouth shut. [color=00aeef][b]"If you can leave your bad sense of humor here, milady, you will find yourself no better shinobi to aid you for this mission. I can say that Katsuko-sama is indeed a talented ninja, maybe even in par with myself, but nobody has the vision I do. No matter who I go against, you can be sure that tomorrow's mission will [i]definitely[/i] be a success."[/b][/color] He spoke with clear confidence in his voice, before turning to the side where Nori was coming from and addressing him. [color=00aeef][b]"Not to mention that the others too seem rather capable. I look forward to seeing what they are really capable of. Do not worry, you are not interrupting."[/b][/color] He said just after the man spoke. [color=00aeef][b]"Indeed, I believe eating together would be a fine experience to share with those I will fight with tomorrow. Take a seat, and if I may ask, which one are you? Are you Nori-sama or Yudai-sama?"[/b][/color] Anzai said with a faint smile in his face, not ever opening his eyes. He wondered if Nori could figure out he was blind, before making an stupid remark and Anzai having to correct him. [hr] [@Partisan][@Hatman1801]
