[center][b]Kami Suucho - - - meeting the team.[/b][/center] --- Kami bowed before the Tsuchikage after he gave him his files -- he didn't wish to reply any other way as the Tsuchikage was a respectable man and Kami had no wish to disrespect him with his mumbling and stuttering. He simply walked out the door once Sebaru was done, standing outside the room trying to decide what to do first. He looked at Kariru, and smiled at her. [i]“I.. remember going on a mission with you a f-few times, Kariru. B-back when I was a genin and you weren't a Granite Gu-guard yet.”[/i] He didn't continue after that and looked at the two closed files in his hand. One said K.H. and the other was labeled A.H. Both were marked in black pen, and had a seal at the top of the file which represented the village symbols. He opened the first file and read the name. [b]“Kyou?”[/b] he said out loud to himself, remembering her from a class he was in once. She was .. energetic. But as far as Kami remembered she was nice enough. She was always into using two swords at once, as a fighting style. It was interesting to say the least. He looked at the second name tag, A.H. He wondered who it was, and opened the seal quickly, taking out the paper. It was Ayumi, someone from the Hozuki clan who possesed the ability to hydrofy herself. The duo would be interesting, but the synergy they'd have was less than obvious. Kami knew enough however so he waved at Kariru, his only 'real friend' and at the rest of the Granite Guard which were present, whom were more like colleagues. He walked through the town in a calm manner, taking the time to look at the plants, flowers and trees around him as he passed through a park, taking in the rock formation art that many of the villagers practiced as a hobby, and the birds flying through the air. Finally he seemed to be serene, more so than during the funeral. He appeared outside Ayumi's house which looked like it hadn't been taken care of for a long time. Suddenly his serenity dropped, the calmth dissapeared from his face and made place for a more concered look. He inspected the house, looking at the mouldy and almost rotten wooden supports, and into the windows to find a pretty bare appartment. Kami's face seemed slightly more sad now after being reminded that there is more to life than peaceful calm birds. Kami knocked on the door twice before an older man opened the door, supposedly Ayumi's father. [i]“Yeah, whad'ya want punk. I ain't got all day.”[/i] he said within a second of opening the door, seemingly not recognising Kami, who stepped back and was apparently taken aback a bit by this mans response. [b]“H-hello sir.. I'm Kami Suucho. I.. I am A-Ayumi's new s-s-sensei..”[/b] he said with a very silent voice, obviously a bit shy. The man squinted his eyes and looked at Kami suspiciously. “Yeah, yeah. I'm the Tsuchikage.. get outta here kid.. you're like 12.” He wanted to shut the door but Kami quickly set a foot in between the door and the doorpost. [b]“S-sir. It's im-important that I see A-Ayumi.”[/b] The man opened the door again and didn't even reply, as if he suddenly stopped caring. He pointed to the backdoor. Kami bowed before him quickly before heading through, passing past a few boxes that had been there for some time already. [b]“Arigato gozaimas, sir.”[/b] As Kami stept through the backdoor into the backyard, he could already hear the sounds of training. Even on a day like this, after a funeral, this girl would train. He'd stand in the doorpost silently, watching her train without saying a word or making a sound, admiring her strength. Then he shook his head back into reality, stepping forward to make sure she noticed him if she hadn't already. He raised his hand and waved before quickly pulling it back. “Kami, idiot, waving at people is for 12 year olds.” he thought to himself. He waited a few seconds before saying anything to Ayumi, due to his nervousness playing up. Why, why at this moment?! [b]“A-Ayumi Hozu-z-zuki.”[/b] He tried to speak as confidently as he could, in order to appear like a real sensei. [b]“I am K-Kami Suucho. I'll be y-your new sensei.”[/b] That went well. Kami looked Ayumi in the eyes and sighed loudly, taking a few seconds to think to himself on what to say. He should've done that before going to the backyard. [b]“P-please take this..”[/b] he said before handing over a coupon for a luxurious ramen, BBQ and snack restaurant. [b]“G-Go there at f-four PM sharp. P-please d-date with K-K-Kyou, yo-you s-should get to k-know her before we m-meet.”[/b] He stared her dead in the eye for a few seconds more and would start to sweat around the forehead from stress, but then realized how stupid and unconfident he must've looked -- though Ayumi probably already knew what a loser he was from the 3 months he spent in her class before being allowed to skip another class. He turned around quickly and rushed out the door, through the frontdoor and back to the streets before continueing to find Kyou. Likely she'd be somewhere near her fathers shop, so that was where Kami was headed. He found the shop quick enough -- Kami had seen it a few times when he was walking around -- and entered it. The door rang a bell as he entered, likely alarming Kyou that a 'customer' was here. Kami would wait at the counter for Kyou to appear -- it seemed her father was outside the shop for a bit to run an errant or so. [b]“K-Kyou.. g-good to see you again. L-looks like I'll be your sensei..”[/b] he said, somewhat silently and almost whispering. He was referring to the time that they were in a class together, though it was obvious Kami had advanced rather quickly after that, not due to his ability with normal jutsu but his pupetteering skill. He slid the luxurious restaurant coupon onto the counter, as well, considering that she'd have to 'date' her teammate as well. [b]“P-please take this and m-meet Ayumi-c-chan at f-four PM.. y-you need to d-date her and get to k-know her better. A-after all she is your new t-teammate.”[/b] He looked around the shop and smiled at Kyou, seemingly feeling somewhat more at ease with Kyou as he had known her a bit longer than he'd been in the class with Ayumi. He waved goodbye, and quickly pulled his hand back. [i]“KAMI! Waving is for 12 year olds!”[/i] he thought to himself again, though it'd appear to Kyou that he was simply standing still in front of the door before opening it and walking off. He sighed. Being a social teamleader was nothing for him.
