Mitkkoto: *It was a relatively average day in Konoha, there were a few cloudsin the sky and a gentle breeze rolled through the town. It had been a day since Kuin had last met with Kinshi and she still had a few days to go before going back to her. It was midday, and most people were having lunch causing the food stores to be rather busy, This was good for Kuin as it meant the training grounds would be mostly empty. She stood in the center of the grounds; she was short and noticeably thinner than someone her age should be, her skin was a sickly pale and she had noticeable bags under her piercing green eyes. Messy, snow white short cut hair fell over her face obscuring it mostly from view. She wore a black tank top and standard shinobi pants and sandals and black arm warmers that stretched from her wrists to her elbows. In front of her was a large Vase half as tall as her. She put her hands together in the Tiger seal and crustal clear water bulged from the vase, forming a blob in front of her before replicating her image perfectly. She was training hard despite today being one of those days that she felt sicker than usual*



Vain: Yasu stretched and hopped out of bed after a short cat nap, her arms stretching to the ceiling as a loud yawn left her lips. With slow steps she exited her new room and walked down the hallway, her eyes lazily half open. The young Hatake would offer Takuza a goodbye and grab an apple before she went jogging outside, Yasu waved hello to a few shinobi as she jogged to the training grounds to work on a few things. Yasu wore a baggy black tshirt with white stripes on the sleeves, her pants were casual ninja pants as well as her ninja sandles. The young girl seemed in brighter spirts now that she was under Takuza Uchiha’s care. The child hadn’t seen her mother since that day, and she didn’t really mind it. With a light yawn she entered the field and glanced at a female she hadn’t seen before. Yasu offered a short wave to the girl as she took a seat on the ground, her hands pulling out an apple. It was a snack she always started with before training. The silver haired girl watched the other girl curiously as she tossed the apple into the air. If the girl attempted to speak to Yasu she would respond with a gentle, “Hello.” While offering a gentle smile.



Mitkkoto: *Kuin was doing stretches, attempting to get the clone to copy her movements. When she spotted another girl waving she looked around half expecting her to be waving to someone else, with no one around she shrugged and waved back, it was more of a salute though, flicking her wrist and stretching out her fingers. She grinned “Hey hey” her voice was like honey, sweet yet still firm. The clone also mimicked her movement before falling into a puddle of water again “Damnit” she mumbled. Kuin rubbed the bridge of her nose and wandered over to her bag she had left sitting against a wall and began rummaging through it for her medicine. She looked over her shoulder at the girl “I haven’t seen you before, but you have pretty hair” she gave a peace sign and kept rummaging, humming to herself*



Vain: Yasu stood up and jogged over to the girl, getting closer so she could hear her. “My name is Yasu, Yasu Hatake.” She blushed lightly under her mask as she itched the back of her head, her nails running through the thick unmanageable white locks of hers. “T-Thank you. What’s your name?” she questioned softly, her head tilting slightly as she squatted down next to the female. The dark hues watched the female as she rummaged through the bag, only briefly however. Yasu paid no mind to it and slowly she shifted her gaze to the girl, overlooking her features. For once Yasu was friendly, most likely it was the change in guardianship. “What are you working on, maybe I can help?” she mentioned, her eyebrows raising. The young Hatake yawned softly as she put her apple back in her ninja pouch. Yasu wasn’t going to pull her mask down and eat in front of a stranger. Shijo did that, only time he ate was with her and her mother, never in front of others. It was an odd behavior, one Yasu personally couldn’t explain…and yet somehow she did it too. Ever since a young age she wore the mask because her father did it too and she idolized him that much. After all, she did want to be just like him.



Mitkkoto : *She stood up, in one hand was a bottle of pills in the other a bottle of water “Found ya” she said triumphantly. She placed two of the small white pills on her tongue and downed the water as Yasu introduced herself. She was cute. Kuin started putting the bottles away and looked over her shoulder “I’m Kuin Senju, Just call me Kuin, honorifics are annoying. It’s nice to meet you” she stood back up, her own messy white hair falling randomly around her face. “Ahh, Kinshi-sensei has been teaching me the water clone technique and I bet her I’d have the clone at least mimicking my actions and sustained well by the time of the next lesson” she grinned and rubbed the back of her head, her cheeks taking on a pinkish color “If you give me your heartfelt support I’ll definitely win my bet” Kuin poked her tongue out and giggled “What about you? Anything you working on at the moment?” she seemed very too the point, she gave off a friendly aura.*



Vain: “Oh wow. I learned the shadow clone technique.” She murmured, her head nodding slowly. “It’s pretty tricky, what I did to learn it was visualize my body pulling into two. Eventually I displaced my chakra evenly and bam! It worked out.” She chuckled softly. “But yeah! You totally have my support on this.” She added, her head nodding slightly as she stood up, her arms stretching out. “I was making a variation of the Hyuga’s fighting style, but adding my own lightning release to it.” She added, her head nodding a bit. “It’s going well, but it’s tricky at the same time.” Her eyes shifted as she looked to the entrance of the training fields. “So, Kuin. I’ve never seen you before?” she added, her head tilting slightly as her eyes rolled back to the female.



Mitkkoto: *Kuin seemed to ponder for a moment, the medicine seemed to have a ready impact as her skin went from sickly pale to just a standard get out in the sun more pale. “Splitting in two huh? I never thought of that. I’ve been imagining the water used to make the clone is like a mirror reflection, I might have to give your way a try and see whats easier” she grinned, poking her tongue out slightly, at the mention of developing her own fighting style Kuin made an expression of awe “Like the uhh, what is it, gentle fist? Are you gunna call it zappy fist style? That would be cool” Kuin chuckled, a sweet sound before she shrugged “That’s not a surprise really, I’ve only been let out of care liiike” she counted on her fingers “Maybe not even a month ago? I’ve been in intensive care for just over a year so I never got to train or hangout” something like that would have left other kids depressed and angry but Kuin just seemed chirpy, the kind of person to always see the positives*



<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: Yasu nodded her head as she looked back to Kuin, a smile hidden under her mask. “Yeah I mean, it’s hard but like think of molecules splitting. It’s kinda the same thing.” Yasu chuckled at Kuins response to her expression of awe, infact as the girl continued speaking Yasu broke into laughter. “Yeahs that! I was thinking about lightning palm. It’s speed based with a bit of ninjutsu, if I were to put enough chakra into it and get my palm against someone’s chest, it would stop their heart, but let’s say one of my teammates was dying, right? I could use it to start their heart back up.” She’d rest her hands on her hips as she nodded her head. “It has two uses which makes it even more useful, ya know?” Yasu went silent as she listened as the girl began to speak. “Wow, really?” she questioned. “Well maybe I can help you out a bit.” She offered the girl a smile, though it was hidden by a thin layer of black cloth. “I don’t mind helping people, as long as they are willing to help themselves. It’s a two ended road, and if you are willing to put in the effort, I got you.”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Mitkkoto: *Kuin nodded furious “yeah, YEAH, that makes a lot of sense” Kuin also doubled over into a fit of laughter “The lifesaving punch of death” she mode a punch action followed by heavenly sounds and laughed “It sounds like a really awesome idea, I haven’t really got anything fancy planned, I need to get the basics downpat y’know? But I’m not much of a physical fighter” she pointed to herself to indicate her rather slim form; she seemed to have very little muscle. She nodded “Mmm, I’m not healthy to put it lightly” Kuin grinned and crouched down looking up at Yasu “Helps always nice, I can guarantee you as well, that the effort will always be 110%. I wanna be remembered you know? Go down in history. I don’t know what it’ll be for yet, but I will definitely become a legend, you can be certain of that. BUT, that means I have to train doubly hard as everyone else, until my body can’t move and then some” she was quiet for a little bit as she pondered her own words “You got a dream?” she finally said, her eyes quizzical and expecting*

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: Almost in unison Yasu posed with the girl, her head nodding slightly as she laughed. Yasu’s hands would eventually rest on her hips as her head looked back to Kuin. “Yeahhh. It’s a lot of training, but you can do it.” She added, continuing to encourage the other snow haired child. Yasu looked over the female’s body, noticing the slim form. “That’s good! Just don’t give up at all, that’s what is important. You just need to accept sometimes you fail but that’s never a reason to give up.” She snickered softly. Once the girl went silent, Yasu did as well, her eyes watching the female as she pondered. Soon came the question about a dream. In response Yasu sat there for a moment, her brows furrowing as she thought over her own answer. “Well. I just want to play my part in Konoha. Protect the villagers.” She whispered before she leaned forwards, her hand resting on her face as though it would extend her words. “But if I were to be honest, I want to be in the upper echelon of Konohagakure.” Again her voice was a whisper as she stood back up. “I suppose it’s a hard dream to achieve but yeah.~ But never do I want to be Hokage, to much work.”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Mitkkoto: “The training is good though, its keeping me healthy at least anyway” she began stretching, letting out signs of relief as muscles stretched and bones clicked “Can’t have success without failure right? Two sides of the same coin” she smiled and stood back up straight again “Protect the villagers, I can get behind that” she wandered a few steps, still listening “Hey so heres a question my dad asked me once. Putting aside all rules and what not, Whats more important?” she held one hand out “Friends” she held out the other “Or your job? He reckons, a person’s answer to that tells a lot about a person. Don’t know what he means by it though. He always drops weird riddles” She looked up at the sky trying to tell the time “I think I missed lunch” she said in almost distraught tone*

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: Yasu’s eyebrows raised at the question and with a slow motion she rubbed her index finger and her thumb across her chin. “What’s more important?” she reiterated as she thought over the question. “That’s a tough one.” She murmured as she looked up at the sky. “Hypothetically, if I had a friend who threatened to destroy Konoha, and they were more than capable of doing so…Well I’d stand as a Shinobi as a leaf and I’d defend it without question.” She paused, biting on her lip before continuing. “It wouldn’t be easy at all, infact it would more than likely tear me apart inside, but I made an oath to defend Konohagakure once I became a Shinobi, because of that Konohagakure will always come first.” Yasu offered a short sigh as she looked back to Kuin. “Tell me, what your answer is?” she questioned with a calm expression. At the talk of food Yasu nodded slightly, her stomach rumbling in response. “We can go get something if you’d like to?”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Mitkkoto: *She nodded in response, agreeing with her opinion “In that situation I’d be a mess I think, do I stand by my friend? Or do I stand by my village. I feel like its one of those things that has no answer. Though, when my dad asked, I assumed it meant while on a mission with them.” She wandered over to her bag and picked it up “Lets get grub yee?” she’d start walking off slowly before looking back to yasu “I answered like this, If I was on a mission, and my friends were in danger, and it was them or the mission” she paused for a moment, running the scenario in her head “I don’t think I could live with the guilt of leaving a friend. It would kill me inside I think.” She waved her hand “AHh sorry sorry, I get a bit morbid by accident sometimes. Do you have any food preference?” she eyed her mask and remembered how she had put the apple away “You don’t like showing your face at all do you?” she said it with a laugh.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: “Ahh I see.” Responded Yasu as she followed Kuin back to her bag, for once Yasu was interested in a conversation. As the female grabbed her back and started walking, Yasu would follow alongside her, her arms folded behind her head as she looked ahead. “Sounds good to me.” She murmured as she continued to ponder the question. “I’d never leave someone behind unless they were on the verge of death…Even then I’d come back to get their body. I believe the ninja code was made for a good reason, but sometimes you have to make choices. You can’t really figure out what to do unless you are in that moment.” As Kuin waved her hand Yasu snickered softly. “No worries Kuin! I don’t mind deep questions like this…as for food…BBQ!!!!!!!” she shouted out loudly before sighing softly. Once Kuin stared at her, Yasu slowly turned her head, blinking quickly as the girl asked about the mask. “Ya know. It’s a funny habit I picked up from my dad. In a way it’s a security blanket to me, can’t imagine living without wearing it. Plus there’s the air of mystery about me because of it.” Yasu responded, chuckling softly.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Mitkkoto: *She nodded for a moment she had a serious expression before she returned to her chirpy self, she actually broke into a little dance, “AWE YES BBQ!” she stopped dancing and kept walking throwing a peace sign and sticking her tongue out at Yasu “Theres a series of books I read that always have BBQ restaurants in em and now I get hyped up when I go to one. Oh a security blanket? Yeah I know that feeling, something to hide behind when things get rough” she smirked at Yasu’s mention of the mystery and linked her arm with hers pulling her closer “THE MYSTERIOUSNESS IS CUTE. Look I can be mysterious as well” she used her spare hand to ruffle her own hair up so it covered her eyes, she coughed and put on a gruff voice “I am the mysterious ninja, bow before my might” The whole time they would be wandering towards the closest BBQ restaurant receiving looks from passerbys who didn’t understand what the heck these two idiots were doing

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: Yasu paused as Kuin began dancing, and slowly the white haired Hatake mimicked her, a serious expression on her face. Once Kuin stopped dancing, Yasu would as well. At the peace sign, Yasu crossed her arms in front of her making two peace symbols, her hands aimed at the ground. “Book?” she questioned, her head tilting. “Which book?” Yasu blinked a bit as the female called her mysteriousness cute, this caused a blush to appear under her mask. At the imitation she began laughing softly, her head shaking as they continued walking towards the restaurant. Yasu paid no mind to the villagers they passed. “I can’t wait…” she murmured as she saw the sign of the BBQ restaurant. “I can die happy after I get some of that meat.” She whispered, her head shaking. The child froze, thinking about what she said, but she shrugged it off as they got closer.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Mitkkoto: *Kuin burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter when they finished their little dance, she wiped a tear from her eye and shrugged “Ahh it’s a uhh …. Bit of a romcom book. I’ll bring it too you sometime, It’ll change your life. And if you like it, you should come over sometimes, I have a huuuuuge collection. All I did was read when I was in hospital” Kuin also froze at Yasu’s comment and raised an eyebrow, holding back a snicker “Oh … haha, wow” she shook her head, a large grin stretching across her face. They approached the doors and kuin pushed it open, letting Yasu go in first and following in after her “Should we just get the group deal, its basically an all you can eat. But its kinda expensive” she tapped her lip as she pondered the situation

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: Yasu nodded her head in response, “Sounds good to me.” She murmured as a yawn left her lips. “I haven’t read a good book in a while.” Once Kuin paused at her comment, she looked at her with a straight face, knowing what the girl was thinking. “Not that kind of meat.” She whispered as she passed infront of the other girl and entered the restaurant. “Hm…I don’t see why not. I have a bit of money on me, we can split the cost if you want?” Her gaze shifted to Kuin, her shoulders shrugging slightly. Soon after the ahroma met her nose and a groan escaped her lips. “God…that smells so good….” Soon after they decided, a waiter would seat them and Yasu would look over the meat options. “Can I just eat them all?” she whispered before snickering softly as she opened the menu and sat it up on the table. It would cover as much as her mask had, her eyes peaking over the laminated menu. “What are you thinking of getting?” she asked, her head tilting slightly.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Mitkkoto: *Kuin gave a thumbs up before tilting her head and crossing her arms in an X fashion “Heeey, I wouldn’t judge, though its not my uhhh, cup o’ tea, ya copy?” she grinned and nodded along with Yasu’s idea to split bills “Sounds good to me, we can probably get more that way as well” Kuin flopped into her seat, placing her bag on the ground after her and taking a menu for herself, she peered over it to see Yasu using it to hide her face and couldn’t help but laugh “ooohh~ Mystery” she went back to looking and eventually slapped the menu down “ALL OF IT, that’s what I’m getting” she spoke loud enough that their waiter looked a bit shocked and quickly wrote the request down*

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: Yasu blinked for a moment before nodding her head, “Heck yeah…More food.” She relaxed at the thought, her shoulders drooping as they walked to the table. At Kuin’s laughing Yasu began to snicker softly in response. “You know it.” She responded as she looked to the waiter. “Same here.” She added, her hands grabbing the menu in a possive manner, the girl refusing to give it up. The waiter simply sighed and walked away. “heheh.” She laughed as her eyes looked back to Kuin. “I’m honestly so excited right now.” She whispered as she began to giggle softly. “So tell me more about these books.”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Mitkkoto: *Kuin seemed to brighten up at the topic of the books “Oh well, uhh” she leant closer and looked around “Don’t tell anyone … but they are kinda … adult. Some of em have these big 18+ warnings on them, I don’t think mum was paying attention when she bought them for me” she winked and sat back “Theres a huge range of em, some have pictures, some don’t, Some are more comedic than they are romantic. Some are just really raunchy I guess. I was reading one the other week, it was one where BOTH main characters were girls” her face was kind of red and she couldn’t help but laugh softly “Those ones always make me giddy cause its like, forbidden love kinda stuff ya know, theres like a sense of danger in the books” She leant to the side a bit trying to get a sneak peek at Yasu’s face behind the menu “I hope they bring the food soon to be honest”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: “Oh wow, so smut novels?” she questioned, her eyebrows raising. “My dad reads Icha Icha, never looked into it to be honest.” She snickered, here head shaking. As the young Kuin went into detail about the books Yasu’s face turned a bright red. “Wow…” she whispered, her eyes wide as her face changed to the color of a tomato. As the other female attempted to get a look at her face, Yasu moved so she couldn’t see her face. “I agr-“ the female was cut off as the waiter placed the raw meat in front of them. In the middle of the table was a grill and with slow motions Yasu placed the meat on it, allowing it to cook. “God it smells so good.” She whispered as she began to wiggle back and forth in her seat. Once it was cooked she’d pull a piece of meat behind the menu and she’d eat it slowly as she gazed at Kuin, her face returning finally to its normal color. “I forget how good this is…”

<p class="MsoNormal">Mitkkoto: *Kuin went bright red and motioned for Yasu to quieten down a bit “Y~yeah … SOME are normal romances, the rest is smut” she poked her tongue out “OH I have all the Icha Icha books, they are pretty good, definitely read one of them” she huffed playfully when Yasu kept her face hiden and jumped slightly when the meat was placed on the table. She grinned and slapped a few different meats onto the grill, letting them sizzle, occasionally flipping them until they reached her standards “Nooothing beats BBQ to be honest”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: Yasu nodded in agreement and eventually she found herself full. “Damn…I think I ate to much.” She whispered, her hand pulling up her mask as she set the menu down. “This was pretty nice honestly.” She murmured, her head nodding slightly. “Thank you Kuin.” She murmured, her head tilting as she offered a rather large smile. “It was nice to actually go out today.” She murmured as her elbows rested at the edge of the table, her dark eyes watching Kuin. “We should do this again sometime.” She added as she yawned softly, her hands pulling out a old change purse and put her half in for the bill. “I gotta run and go shopping. They always say its better to do so on a full stomach.” She’d snicker as she stood up. “Feel free to visit anytime, if I’m not at home, I’ll be at the training grounds. Ta Kuin~” she murmured as she left and headed to the store for the evening. <ac_metadata title="Yasu &amp; Kuin first meeting."> </ac_metadata>
