[b]Collaboration post with Res[/b] "Sensei!." Kyou couldn't finish what she was suppose to say and with work at hand, she couldn't really focus because she was filing the ledger of accounts for yesterday's paperwork. To that, Kyou is only able to gauge out few details, Sensei, Ayumi, Date, 4PM. All that detail was boggled up like her shogi set. Kyou drank her tea, and thought over what Sensei meant a while ago. "OHH!!!! I have a date with a girl at 4 PM?!! What the heck! I'm not into that type of relationsho but... whatever! It's not like I asked for this or anything!!." She blushed as she was paranoid for what is coming for her. She quickly get dressed, as usual it was her white outfit and pick up her swords and quickly wrote a letter for the shop owner. "I'll be back." Just like that. Flash forward to the "date", Kyou once again is 10 minutes late as usual, even in the funeral she was late. She got the stash along with her, and approached the girl , Kyou stopped briefly, recalling something, "Isn't she familiar?" She thought but brush it off. "Hello! You must be Ayumi." What do you know, she's not so confident based on her speech pattern. "I'm Kyou, your teammate. It's a pleasure to meet you. L-L-L-LET'S get on with our date." She bowed to her and it really was embarrasing for her to do that. Ayumi sat in the booth alone drinking pitcher after pitcher of water. She guzzled down as much water as she could get, it was kind of a Hozuki thing. But before long she saw that here new teammate had arrived in the restaurant, she adjusted herself in her seat to sit up right. The girl introduced herself as Kyou and bowed deeply, her hair falling forward in front of her face. Ayumi motioned for the girl to sit down across from her in the booth with a kind smile. "I'm Ayumi you might recognize me from the academy, we both graduated this year." Ayumi said pouring herself a glass of water. "So, this is kind of weird, an odd suggestion to be sure, but I say we should just go with it, besides Kami probably knows best." Ayumi said glancing at the glass before picking it up and downing it with one huge gulp. "So let's see, I'm more of a supportive fighter right now, I'm originally from Kirigakure, though I can assure you that isn't a problem and I managed to graduate with honors." Ayumi said stroking her own ego a little, but she wanted to highlight the fact that she was a hard worker. Kyouka played along, more like... enlightened with the information given, at first she thought that Ayumi would be like everyone else, weird actions and Kekkei Genkai addicts but it was all fine. A support fighter and she's from Kirigakure, not odd at all. Kyou remembered that her Father had few trips to the land of waves time to time. She sat down and listened to Ayumi's full introduction. "That's cool, Ayumi. Yeah! I recognize you from the academy." She thought deeper, she's very familiar, a customer maybe? People I talked to randomly? She sighed. Continuing with the date, she introduced herself. "My full name is Kyouka Hasegawa, everybody calls me Kyou and I like it that way, it's easier to say. I'm a commoner here, and my Father is a Businessman, he's not around all the time. OHH!!!! That's amazing, honor graduate!." She died in the inside despite having high grades back in the academy, she blamed herself for having fights with the boys perhaps that was one of the reason she didn't have such honors. She coughed. "I got your back! I'm a ranged fighter, and I assure you! You won't get any hassle from our opponents!" She said while being all fired up. "So, what's up?." Kyou asked Ayumi with a girlish tone. She died in the inside again, "That's what I get for being boyish." Ayumi listened intently to the girl, all the while downing glass after glass of water. "I see, so you're a ranged fighter, I wonder how Kami will decide to train us then." Ayumi said quietly, almost under her breath. It was nice to see her new teammate had a large amount of enthusiasm. That'd help, especially on the battlefield with Kami's awkwardness and Ayumi's almost dead silence on the battle field. At least someone would speak. She glanced over to Kyou once more, the girl seemed to be relaxed, which was welcomed. "This is pretty much the only thing that's up save for the invitation to the Granite Guard, that's something else." Ayumi said, her voice full of wonderment. She couldn't quite define her excitement, but it was incredible for her. "I've pretty much just been training since the funeral ended, that's when Kami dropped by." Ayumi stated matter-of-factly, she never reffered to her instructor with any honnorific. She didn't know what else to say, which she could only really blame on the situation. "So I suppose this is kind of odd, huh?" Ayumi said with an awkward giggle glancing around at the restaurant, it had a very local essence about it, she liked that. "This whole date to get to know each other thing?" "Granite Guard! So that's about it." Kyou on the outside may look confident but on the inside, she was more or less awkward with herself. True to that, she's a ranged fighter with swords of course, close to mid range is her best. Kyou's delighted to see Ayumi changed expressions. What else, she thought. She got no idea what Kami can do and based on Ayumi, she probably is a Hozuki. "As for me, I've been training too much..... having multiple part time jobs helps build good rapport, good relations with people. That would make me have spy like skills right?" But then she mentioned the whole "date" which smacked right back to her face, it was bad enough for Kyou to say it herself but with Ayumi saying it, just awkward. "Yeah, I know! So what do you wanna do now?" She asked.
