Ayaka silently wondered about the question her friend asked, Kasumi was the one to voice his opinion. 

"Well since we just began a squad, we'll most likely be given the easiest of missions. D-rank are what we'll be assigned to until we gain more experience." His voice was soft and Ayaka watched out of the corner of her eye as his pale fingers absently rubbed the front of his cloak. 

"As for your next question...splitting up might be better, however I'd rather not get tricked again. I'd say we check the farthest one before heading to the last, I want to do [i]something[/i] beside train." At the sight of the man, Ayaka's expression shuttered close and her eyes hardened as his gaze fell on her. She knew what he was looking at, her body relaxed as the man moved on and they neared the shop, the sight of their sensei enjoying a cup of tea had her nose wrinkling. "Do we have to go inside?" She didn't like heat, or the thought of sitting down, she hadn't been able to sleep the night before from excitement. 

"We [i]do[/i] need to speak with him about our missions..." Kasumi was not entertaining the thought for being in a warm place. His hands dug into his pockets as he waited for his teammates to decide what to do.

She was going to break something. 

Silver brow twitching in silent irritation, Kazue glanced up from the scroll she was reading to face the person that refused to listen. 

"They graduated like everyone else, I will not hold them back due your 'distrust' in them. They both come from well-known families and are capable of-" The person before her made a noise of irritation and slave their hand through the air. 

"Aisukage-sama, I just think that they don't understand the power they have at their fingertips-" Kazue rose from her seat and slashed her own hand through the air, the male yelped and staggered a step back as a blade of ice formed along Kazue's arm. 

"Their sensei sill meet with the head of each clan and discuss what must be done to ensure noting goes amiss. Will that be enough?" The elder male straightened his robes and narrowed his gaze, after a moment he offered a nod and fibally left Kazue's room. Falling into her swear and dispersing the blade of ice, she rubbed her thumb and index finger against her temple and sighed. She hated dealing with the Elders, both were driving her mad, hopefully Minoru would bring back good news so both would leave her alone already. The sad thing was that both current heads of each clan didn't get along in the least, the only reason they acted as such was because both Ayaka and Koharu were such good friends. Straightening and shaking her head, Kazue focused on the stack of papers an scrolls that needed her attention, the rest she'd deal with when it came. [@Sunflower]
