Hearing the bell over the door chime, Tsubasa lifted her head and looked toward the entrance with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. Perking up in her seat, Tsubasa tried to straighten herself out as she saw Yumi walk through the door. As the word ‘captain’ rang from her lips, at first Tsubasa had a hard time realizing she was talking to her. In her mind Tsubasa did not equal captain. Quickly adding two and two together, she quickly smiled nervously and gestured for Yumi to sit. [b]“R-right… Well, Team Four is known to be notoriously late. I’m sure Katsuko and Ryo will be along soon. Um… Yumi. Could we please stick to my name? It isn’t like I ranked up or anything…”[/b] She said lifting her cup to take another sip of her tea.

Tsubasa felt a chill run down her spine as she heard the bell ring yet again, and Katsuko emerged from the entranceway. Casually walking forward, he calmly greeted her and Yumi and settled himself down next to her. Eyeing a small bit of maple syrup on the corner of his mouth, Tsubasa’s sighed. [b]“Good to see you finally made it and are well fed…”[/b] She said as she set her cup down and picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth. Seeing him out of his flak jacket, also displayed his keen wish to take it easy, which meant Tsubasa’s job just became harder. [b]“I at least hope you enjoyed the stack…”[/b] She grumbled as she smooshed his face with the napkin until she heard the doorbell ring again.

Ryo strolled into the teahouse, prompting a small grin to grow across her face. Noticing the group, he let out his customary Oi’s and asked the question the majority of the group was thinking. [b]“Well hello to you too, Ryo… Seeing as you were the last to arrive, you’ll be covering my tea. I think it’s about time we start getting places on time.”[/b] She chuckled before dropping the napkin and going to her waist to grab a small scroll. 

Taking it off her Guardian sash, Tsubasa broke the wax seal and rolled out a bit onto the table for her team to see. [b]“We’ve been assigned a ‘routine’ patrol from the Rain Country to the Grass. Officially we will be looking out for rogue ninja. Unofficially, we want to try to capture a Stone ninja alive and bring him or her back for interrogation. We will have to make it seem as though a rogue ninja put them out of commission so, Yumi, we may have to limit your crystal jutsu.”[/b] Tsubasa turned toward Katsuko. [b]“You’re Chikaroatoshi will probably be our best bet to bring him in alive… that is if you are comfortable with it. I’m sure we can think of something to else if needed.”[/b] She said before turning her attention back to the rest of the group. [b]“So… in short, patrol up and down a border and try to capture anyone who tries to cross. Any questions?”[/b] She said as she picked up her teacup.
