Mikoto, Red Sages, Being laughed at by his fellow Red Sages
Mikoto did not care for the stiffled laughs or suppressed smirkings of his fellow companions, since several surrounding him didn't even try to hide it.
He shrugged,
"Fools. They believe something like death needs to be horrible, but given the correct artist, it can become something beautiful." he was talking to himself of course.
Lady Tametomo didn't seem to acknowledge his statement either and just went on with the details for the next mission. To steal a pair of Uchiha weapons. Madara's Gunbai and Sasuke's sword.
It sounded really exciting but, sadly, he was not picked for the mission.
He folded his arms and even pouted after that. Perhaps he should just go with them, without asking questions. He would've probably done so were it not for the fact that his name was announced, to go with someone else.
Who was it if not, lo and behold, great Katsuko, but don't get him wrong, he does think Katsuko is actually worth something.
He was smart enough to leave Yakoul on the dust, after all. Mikoto was sure of it because he was back in the base in a single piece. Even if the cat decided not to kill him, Katsuko would still be missing one or two limbs by then. Mikoto respected it, at the very least, and was conscious of the fact that he wouldn't be able to defeat him, at least on his own.
After that, the meeting was adjourned and everyone could go about their business as they pleased before the mission. Mikoto in particular decided to get better acquainted with Katsuko, whom he'd see much of in the next mission.
He didn't even bother going back to his room and preparing his battle attire, even if the mission was going to be the next morning. That could wait, as for now, meeting Katsuko and getting to know each other was priority.
Mikoto was accustomed to fighting in tag teams, but always with Kanata or support-type shinobi. This time, he'd be with a full offense kind of guy, just like himself. It could be really good or really bad, depending on what happened after that.
"Katsuko, just the man I wanted to see." Mikoto approached Katsuko.
"What do you think if you and me go get better acquainted over a warm meal in the mess hall? I think you and me should have a real good chat, since we'll be working together in tomorrow's mission." All of what he said was with his usual charming smile that would make any simpleton woman melt of the sheer charm of the man. Unluckily for him, several were already whispering of how 'Mikoto was trying to put the moves on Katsuko'.

Kanata, Undecided, Trying not to laugh at Yakoul's speech
Kanata smiled at Mirai when she arrived with Aneko. She nodded, and answered Mirai,
"Nice to meet cha, Aneko. I am Kanta Amatsurahashi." She nodded. It was a miracle she got her name right most of the time.
"And don't worry if you get your tongue tangled with that. I know I did the first time." She shrugged and smiled again.
After that, she turned her attention to Yakoul. Unlike Mirai, she had a reason to listen to the whole thing.
Well into the middle of the cat-like thing, Kanata started giggling. More so with every other word it said.
Yeah... everything Yakoul said hit Kanata's funny bone. Why? Because the guy was fucking insane.
Kanata could do nothing but laught at that point.
They were at war. A very real fact for her right now. She was at war, in the force opposing her brother's faction, and she was only a 16 year old teenager.
Oh, by the Gods... and now, the fucking cat himself was calling for her to go along with him to some or other room.
Wiping away a single tear (from laughing, mind you), Kanata stood up and turned on her heel, ready to follow after Yakoul, before she turned to Mirai again,
"Sorry, but the sicko is calling for me. You saw what happened with the body and all... honestly, I don't want to piss him off more than I should, and I tend not to watch my tongue most of the time, so... yeah, I'll call for help if I need it." She said, sticking her tongue out and with a troubled frown in her face.
She hurried after Tanji and Yakoul.
"Crap, I didn't ask for her number. Kanata thought to herself as she trailed behind the cat-thing and the black haired young shinobi.
They were now in some kind of luxurious lounge and Kanata did just as Yakoul.
She let herself fall on one of the comfy looking sofas and even bounced some on it, before letting herself be embraced by the sweet, sweet comfiness of the sofa. Ah, yes, just like home.
"C'mon dude, no need to be all stiff." Kanata said with a dismissive wave of her hand.
"Go get a drink, sit down and then drop yourself in one of this fucking sweet sofas. And then just call this thing... thing." She turned to Yakoul.
"Because I dunno what I should fuckin' call it either. Aside from the obvious 'Yakoul' shit, but that sounds too intimidating... hm... how about 'Neko-sama'?"With a slight smirk on her face, Kanata pulled one of its ears.
"Sounds cute, Japanese AND gender fluid. Perfect for him, if he keeps his damn mouth shut." Kanata laughed some after that.
"And my mom took me there. Not like I wanted to go, but there I was and here I am. Now, I can't get a fucking cat out of my back aaaand I made a new friend. If the cat were cuter, the day would be pretty good." She said with an exaggerated nod.
She was well aware it could hurt her, and really badly, but it had the opportunity before and didn't take it. Why would he do it now?
Regardless of that, she just hoped that neither Yakoul nor Tanji could see how tense she really was. There was a lot she was not saying. Like, the fact that her brother was probably there with the Red Sages too and that perhaps she'd meet him once again in the mission they would have.
It was a really bad day for her that gave her a lot to think, not to mention the oncoming war... Most teenagers have to wonder which panties they will throw at their favorite teenage idol, not if they should risk becoming a traitor for the sake of their brother.

Anzai with a real shitty roundy image, Red Sages, After the meeting
"Now, I wonder if our great lady really could not handle a freak like him." Anzai said after hearing Katsuko's comment. Even if he was almost whispering, Anzai could still hear him loud and clear thanks to his blindness, not to mention that he was fairly near too.
"Perhaps it is only a matter of skill and avoid being intimidated by someone with a big title. They are usually rather talkative." He was insulting Katsuko, of course, but it still didn't seem like it, with his monotonous voice.
After Tametomo finished her speech, Anzai brought his cane to the ground and stood up. After that, he swung it a pair of times in his right hand and then stopped it by taking it with his left hand.
"How entertaining. And here I thought Tametomo-sama did not like me much." Anzai said with a really faint smile in his face.
"Regardless, I should make for the mess hall." He said to himself and then made his way to the mess hall.
He needed food for tomorrow's mission. He was sure that being next to Tametomo would require a lot of energy. Anzai was an expert at killing people in one shot too, so maybe that was why she decided to keep the blind shinobi near her.
Regardless, food was first and foremost, and he was starving. He took twice the amount the others shinobis did and digged in.
If his new teammates wanted to come and meet the man they were going to work with, they were more than welcome to join him at his table. No one else wanted to sit there, apparently.
Slightly,
