An older male relative that didn't approve? They really were brothers! He kept up his enthusiasm, only dropping his head slightly as Enma ran ahead to catch up to Ria. It was more of a sobering thought if he was being completely honest, but Kiku wasn't about to get all mopey in public. He'd rather get slapped by Ria a million times than have anyone accuse him of being some kind of emo-kid or whatever. Besides, he didn't need anyone's approval. All he needed was to support his new team and kick butt.

Psyching himself up, Kiku caught up with the pair as Ria laid down a plan. He nodded, invigorated by the idea of their first team fight. He liked training with his big sister, but there were one or two times he managed to get one over on her. Sarutobi-sensei couldn't be too much different, right? Even if she was, he was sure they'd do something.

Kiku peered at Matsuoka, scratching his chin. If they managed to get her still enough for him to use his jutsu, that would be a win. He grinned as she yelled at them, throwing back his head and letting out a laugh. [color=khaki]"Bring it on!"[/color] He yelled back, laughing maniacally.
