[center][b][u][h2]Haruno Remi, Chotzu Akimichi, and Yue Nara[/h2][/u][/b][h2]Team 6[/h2][/center]

Even without a traditional set up, Yue had found herself placed in an Ino-Shika-Cho set up and she found this very annoying. Her name wasn't Shika-something nor Ino-something, but they'd gone and done it anyway. It was probably because Chotzu had a "Cho" in his name and they wanted to salvage what they could of their traditions. If his name had been Dumpling, she wondered if they'd have even bothered. It wasn't as if Yue disliked Chotzu any more than she disliked most other people, he was what you'd expect from an Akimichi... only much shorter and either hyperactive or completely asleep; it was the principle of the thing.

[b]"Ah! Teuchi-sama! Your ramen is fantastic as usual! Do I detect a hint of some fresh wild flowers, today"[/b], asked Remi, cheerful and carefree as always. Yue rolled her eyes.

[b]"Good catch, young Haruno, I found the last plum blossom petals of winter in the cupboards. They were hiding!"[/b]

[b]"That must be why it's so refreshing on a sunny summer day like today, just a little taste of winter..."[/b], continued Remi chuckling to himself and lifting a single noodle to his mouth, [b]"Chotzu seems to appreciate it too!"[/b]

[b]"Ahm-lom-mom-blom-top-blotch"[/b], said Chotzu between huge spoonfuls. He then picked up the bowl and poured the entirety of the contents into his mouth. What he lacked in height, he seemed to make up for with voracity of appetite. Yue couldn't say that it was helping her own appetite, though. Watching him wolfing down all that food while Remi waxed poetic, practically flirting with the ramen vender just made her feel incredibly self-conscious. She turned away from them and tried to act as if she were just sitting there alone. She shouldn't have come, but Remi wouldn't take angry glares for an answer and Chotzu insisted that all the tension of being genin had made him too hungry to function, so here she was... whether she liked it or not.

Moments later, a rather loud and rude man entered with another man, a foreigner by the outfit, in tow, demanding their own ramen. Village business they said. Yue looked at her bowl and tried to listen in. It had to be more interesting than the vapid musings of her overly sunny companion or the endless void that was Chotzu. Village business, it sounded like... the son of the Raikag-

[b]"Yue! You haven't touched your ramen! You're... not a vegetarian, are you? I should have guessed when you'd said miso ramen... Of course! How rude of me! With your family being so in touch with-"[/b]

[color=#A2ADD0][b]"...not a vegetarian...[/b][/color], she murmured, her cheeks turning a bright red as she sank into her overcoat. Luckily or perhaps unluckily, the foreigner leaped to his feet and challenged... someone... a boy from her class that Yue didn't talk that much to to a duel! And... her classmate... Rashiku, she thought... He looked to be accepting? Foolish. Even if the foreigner was a blowhard challenging a child because he thought he could win, he was still more experienced by far, experienced enough to be sent on a mission to Konoha. That meant he was trusted. And if he was really the Raikage's son... Was he here to start trouble? The rude man he was with didn't seem to be stopping him.

If they fought and this man was serious, Rashiku would die. The question is just how serious exactly was h-

[b]"My! Quite the floor show..."[/b], said Remi, breaking Yue out of her thoughts. He was smiling but his eyes were transfixed with what was happening, [b]"He isn't serious is he?"[/b]

Yue stuck her hands in her pockets and leaned away from Remi. 

[color=#A2ADD0][b]"Mm..."[/b][/color], she replied watching the man's fingertips. You could figure a lot about what someone intended by what they were doing with their fingertips. The tension was so palpable that even Chotzu had stopped eating actively and had turned, merely sipping his third bowl of ramen tentatively.

And then Ami Uzumaki of all people came onto the scene! What was with people?!? Why were they so fascinated with this poor silver-haired kid?!? Yue could only imagine suddenly getting that much attention and even thinking about it made her angry and raised her hackles.
