Higoho was rudely interupted by this.. weird kid that had been sitting close to where Kaori and Higoho were standing. He spouted some nonsense, most likely to rile up Higoho. Higoho clenched his fists together - clearly showing that the annoying guys' plan was working. [color=gray][i]“Tsk..”[/i][/color] Higoho let some air slip out past his teeth, as he looked at the guy. He was clearly unimpressed and seemed more bothered by the fact that someone was annoying him than the actual words that were spoken. [color=gray][i]“Who are you again?”[/i][/color] Higoho then said after a moment of silence after Tetsuba had finished his ranting. The comment, though genuine, was also a slight, an insult in the eyes of anyone that felt themselves to be worthy of acknowledgement. Higoho knew this - he was approached like this many times by head branch members, and knew the weight these words could carry. 

[color=gray][i]“As for Kaori.. she carries a name. Uchiha.. you haven't even offered me your family name, so I could atleast know whose honor I was stepping on. If you want to fight me, atleast have the decency to tell me your name, [b]runt.[/b]”[/i][/color] he then said, bitingly and his words filled with venom. Higoho straightened his fists into flat hands by now, calming himself down slightly, and also preparing himself in case the boy tried to show off for Kaori. You see, while Higoho could pack a punch as he'd shown Tatsuya earlier that day, this kid was much more aggressive than Tatsuya..

And that meant if he tried anything remarkably stupid, that Higoho wouldn't hold back in putting the kid down where he belonged. [color=gray][i]“Now, I suggest you approach me another time if you're serious about fighting me. Maybe approach me in a more respectable way, and tell me your family name so I can disgrace you with a shred of decency. Because I'm not impressed with you right now, and I'm sure that the girl you're trying to impress isn't either.”[/i][/color] He would inch closer to the boy and lean in with his face, getting close to Tetsuba's face as he did so. His eyebrows were furrowed inwards and he looked visibly angry at this point, or atleast, not to the point of becoming red. [color=gray][i]“[b]Unless you wanna throw down, right here, right now, in the middle of the crowd, shithead.[/b] I'll kick your ass to the curb in front of everyone.”[/i][/color]

He left it at that, leaning back again and leaving the row of seats. As he did, he reached the end and then turned around, facing Kaori. [color=gray][i]“I'll ask Genji Hyuga, the clan leader, if I can invite you over for a match. No promises. But I accept your challenge, for whatever it's worth.”[/i][/color] While the essence of the words he spoke could be perceived as friendly, the way he said the words definitely made it sound more like he was not being friendly at all. Before leaving he looked at Tetsuba one more time but didn't bother giving him the pleasure of responding to whatever he had to say.

[center][h3]Armed Forces outpost[/h3][/center]

The very next day Higoho had arrived at the outpost he was now assigned to. Guess he wasn't returning home to Konoha anytime soon now that he was drafted into Yakoul's control. After a small tour of the premises, Higoho decided to retire to his room for a bit. The room was rather hightech, which was a nice change from the tatami-mat beds that he slept on in the Hyuga estate. For a while he simply hung around, laying in bed reading the latest issue of [b]Naruto and Sasuke - Stories Untold[/b]. It wasn't a productive past-time but it was whatever at this point, since there wasn't much to do. But as soon as he finished that - for the second time - he finally decided he was fed up with this crap. [color=gray][i]“Fucking Yakoul.. dragging me out here into god fucking knows where.”[/i][/color] He threw the comic book, no, excuse me.. [i]manga[/i] onto his bed end and got up, taking off his somewhat dirty wifebeater and grabbing an all black shirt out of the wardrobe. 

After throwing that on swiftly, he walked out of the room and looked left and right into the hallway. [color=gray][i]“And for all this money they can't mobilize some god forsaken reinforcements when we get attacked.”[/i][/color] he mumbled before heading down right side into the hallway. He was looking for a specific someone, Setsuko to be precise. After looking at the sparkling new nameplates on some of the rooms, he finally found hers. It wasn't too far off of his room. He knocked twice on the door before opening it. [color=gray][i]“Yo, baka.”[/i][/color] he opened, friendly as always. [color=gray][i]“I'm bored shitless here and I want to practice. Seeing as there's no other Hyuga around here, you'll have to suffice. Maybe you can open those Byakugan of yours for the first time in a year.”[/i][/color] he said, leaning on the doorframe with one arm while the other hung loosely at his side. 

[color=gray][i]“Unless you're actually doing something.”[/i][/color] he said, laughing to himself. As if she was doing something. [color=gray][i]“Great, thanks. I'll wait at the practice fields.”[/i][/color] His answer came without waiting for her to as much as say a word - he simply guessed she'd agree and all in all his leading personality would probably make it so she wouldn't dare deny.. unless she was strong enough to withstand it now. 

He walked over to the training fields, passing by lots of shinobi. As he approached the training yard, he noticed large glass 'cages'. It was almost like large aquariums for humans to fight in. Some of them were occupied by shinobi that were duking it out, and there was one which was being used to test a new weapon of sorts. All of these seemed to be fighting because they had to - regular tests, or testing new tactics with a squad. It seemed Higoho was the only one that was going in for fun. The fact that they were glass was probably to allow spectators. In some of the cages, most notably that of the weapon testing one, there were quite a few spectators watching them. That only added to the spectacle for Higoho, however.

Approaching one of these glass aquariums, he stepped inside and took a quick look around. It seemed they were capable of taking on specific environments too, but that'd be unnecessary now. Higoho was just looking for a fight and not a specific scenario. He would wait there for Setsuko, in case she did decide to follow him. Of that fact, however, he wasn't sure entirely.
