[center][h1][color=00a651]Taibushi Modobo[/color][/h1][/center] [color=f49ac2]"Oh, no, it's fine. But, please try to look where you're going next time... Rushing things can lead to bad situations, and bad situations can lead to a lot of trouble... You're okay though, right?"[/color] Taibushi smiled slightly, partly because of his good fortunes of not being beaten, and partly because of her concern. [color=00a651][b]"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you,"[/b][/color] He said as he got back onto his feet. This was beginning to seem odd, that he could actually speak to her without much thought, but he brushed it out of his mind as he finally got to see his new instructor. The man had paler skin, much like his own and the genin standing next to himself, with jet black hair that while shorter than both of theirs, still had fair length to it. However when he caught the jounin's eyes he stopped. The hue of them was unique, he had never seen eyes like them in person, nor were they well spoken of such as the sharingan. He began to think back to various books he had read while learning more about the leaf after moving here with his father, but had his train of thought derailed by his instructor speaking. [color=662d91]"Well, at least two of you are here so we might as well begin. When the straggler comes I'll just have you two fill him in, explaining a second time would take too much effort. As you've no doubt deduced I'm to be your new instructor. My name is Mao of the Kagami clan and I'm quite pleased to meet both of you. Before becoming your instructor I served as part of an interrogation squad. I figured we might as well start off on the right foot, candy?"[/color] Taibushi thought about it, and remembered, the Kagami clan, they were possessors of a blood line dojutsu. While not as flashy of fancy as others, it did give them remarkable resilience to genjutsu. Furthermore, the eyes would flare, their gold hue deepening when one was attempting to be used on them. That would be incredibly important to Taibushi. As his lack of skill in genjutsu left him quite vulnerable to the techniques himself, having an early warning system around could be quite handy. [color=f49ac2]"No thank you, I'm fine,"[/color] the genin beside him responded to the offer of free sweets. Taibushi on the other hand was quite eager to get his hands on such things. He opened his mother to speak, [color=00a651][b]"Um........ y-y-yes, I a-a-actua-a-aly would like some."[/b][/color] His mouth snapped shut, and his eyes widened slightly as he directed his gaze towards the ground. [color=00a651][i]"HOW, YOU WERE DOING SO WELL. YOU CAN JUST WALK UP TO RANDOM NICE LOOKING GIRLS AND PULL OFF NOT SOUNDING REDICULOUS BUT THEN YOU FLOUNDER IN FRONT OF YOUR INTRUCTOR!!!"[/i][/color] he thought to himself angrily. he sort of shuffled forward sheepishly before lightly picking two out of the mans hand. [color=00a651][b]"I-I-I'll take one for our o-o-other squa-a-admate,"[/b][/color] He always felt so ashamed when this stuff happened, how is one supposed to be a successful shinobi if they can't even speak properly. It make him look like a fool, and not anyone anybody should take seriously. [color=662d91]"Well then, now that you know a little about me let's hear what you have to say about yourselves. Why did you decide to join the Academy? What was your inspiration for becoming a ninja?"[/color] [color=f49ac2]"Well, I-"[/color] [color=662d91]"Actually, that might take too much time. . ."[/color] [color=f49ac2]"Never mind…"[/color] The exchange between them went by uninterrupted by Taibushi. He would have liked to tell his tale, but frankly, after his sad display, he didn't feel much like talking either of them. He noted the genin's head turning to observe the door, and her sighed remark. Obviously social skills were not his forte, but he thought she seemed, disappointed? Maybe? he wasn't sure but his gut told him that was what it was. His chest ached slightly and he turned away from her. [color=00a651][i]"I hope my pitiful display has not dissuaded her from talking to me. For whatever reason I can actually talk to her without issues, and it feels, nice...."[/i][/color] his thought trailed away.
