[b]“Uhhh...Team Takeo: Momo Sakurai, Keita Ryuukaze, and Isami Suzuki! You all are to meet at Training grounds 17!”[/b]

Hearing his name, Keita, sitting back on all four legs of his chair, looked up and across at Momo who had been called as one of his team members, along with Isami. 

Isami he has spoken with before. 

In fact, he almost missed the little girl sitting over in her corner where she watched everyone with her critical gaze. He would spare her a smile as he did Momo before getting up and heading toward the classroom’s exit. 

As he passed by Mizushima, he would spare a glance at the page of the book she was reading, thinking in his poor innocence that she would be reviewing academy basics before being called for her team. He had been sitting in the upper levels of the classroom and had been unable to see what it was she had, so curiosity took over as he drew near. 

Imagine his surprise and embarrassment that not only was it [i]not[/i] academy basics but something much more titillating than mere genin should be reading. Curse his quick perusing skills. All he saw was XXX (not necessarily XXX but the word was too embarrassing to say) but it was enough to have his face flaming and his legs scurrying toward the classroom’s exit. Despite having been raised and told that he would someday be expected to find a wife and therefore produce an heir, it still unsettled Keita to hear of sex or even be [i]reading[/i] of it when their life expectancy was considered little to nonexistent. 

He stopped and waited at the door, however. He was courteous. As excited as he was, he wouldn’t leave the other two behind in his haste. It didn’t even cross his mind at all that he was sharing a team with two girls. Keita had long ago learned from his sister that even women can be scary at times, no matter how delicate they may seem. He was a little disappointed that he would not be sharing his team experiences with Rima, the big giant of their year and also his friend, but he suppose getting to know other people would prove to be beneficial as well. Besides, they could always meet up later and chat about their senseis as well as teammates. 

He managed to force the blood out of his cheeks long before the two girls reached the door where he held it open. Once everyone walked through, he would wave once at his large friend and follow them to the training grounds where their sensei was waiting. He wondered what they would be like. He had never heard of this Takeo before but more than likely he had to be strong if he was a jounin. Hopefully, he could learn more under the tutelage of this person and persevere as a genin onwards to a promotion.

[color=00746b]“This place is… big..”[/color] He would say, upon arriving at the training grounds. He’d never seen this place before. Then again, growing up, there’s only been so many places he’s been to whenever he would leave the compound. His sister would on occasion take him out to dinner upon his birthday or whenever he would pass his tests; the clan had their own training grounds that his father would take him to whenever he had a new chakra manipulation jutsu to learn; and the academy didn’t go out on many field trips.

He heard Isami murmur from beside him that the place had a wonderful sound and had to agree. Though he couldn’t hear whatever it was she was hearing, the gurgling water and the sound of rustling leaves was soothing to the ear. He looked around then, wondering if they had reached before their teacher, and spotted a man sitting on one of the stumps. He would approach the man, assuming that this was the teacher that was to be there jounin-sensei.

[color=00746b]“Hello. Are you Takeo-sensei?”[/color]
