[h2][color=orange]Giichi Uzumaki[/color][/h2][/center]

	[b]G[/b]iichi tried to hide the light smirk that Megumi's words conjured. He failed for a second or two. Normally such words would have flown over his head but hearing them from her had [i]meant[/i] something. It was weird but he liked it. 

	[b]A[/b] little later and Kannabi Bridge had come into view. It was stretched across a small split in the earth, a few dots peppered one end while the other led into a deep wilderness. Giichi floated down with his arms out; a poor excuse for reassurance against falling. As soon as he touched the ground, the slight tremor of his weight sent a shrill sting across his chest. 

	[b]H[/b]e hissed between his teeth and petted the slash gingerly. [color=orange] “[b]A[/b]ahh! Mom is gonna be pissed when I get home,”[/color] he told himself. 

	[b]B[/b]lood stained his index and pointer finger-tips. He mindlessly wiped it on his trousers before hurrying over to join the rest. He noticed a red-haired Chunin lounging near the tree, he was sure that guy was someone to stay away from; he looked a bit serious. Besides him, the others were anomalies. He only took notice of those that stuck out. Like the prodigies for instance. 

	[b]F[/b]inding Yamato, Giichi walked over to the small group. A purple haired girl whose stature and aura expressed fun caught his attention first. She was cute; just like her white-haired friend. Even if the hair-color threw him off a bit. Beyond that though, he didn't care much for the others. Not to say he didn't take note of them. 

	[color=orange] “[b]Y[/b]amato-senpai,”[/color] he greeted, ignoring the searing slash that rested on his chest.  [color=orange] “[b]D[/b]oesn't look like you ran into any trouble on your mission. Rin, Mai, and myself on the other hand ran into some samurai. They were … numerous. Got me pretty good near the end.”[/color]
