"Well, we're here. I told them you were lost, they should help you either find your parents or take you into the academy to put such a strong lad to good use." He explained with enthusiasm. Notoru seemed to have not wanted to answer, but seconds later he responded with a simple "Thank you" before stepping off the carrier. Behind him, he heard the man say to himself, "Strange boy". A moderately lanky figure, given some width from the thick stygian wool of his coat. By the looks of it he appeared to be about 5'6. Showing to be tall for his age although unsaid. His arms was either folded or his hands were buried in his pockets. Smoking with secrecy, the coat he wore shielded the lower-half of his face. The only facial feature distinguishable was the miniscule reveal of pale skin behind and around the two ocular lens. For multiple purposes, he wore straight-thin shorts in matching color to his top. A Bee or two would occasionally crawl about the rim of his clothes' openings to hint at his ability as a member of the Kamizuru. Notoru looked over his surroundings with conveyance. It was going to take some getting used to, but he knew he most likely would separate himself from others anyway. Patiently, Notoru stood between the ninjas who were set at the gates of the village.

VerinChan: Kaylee had been working in the Kedoin manner all morning, promptly up at 8 am. She had this schedule; get all of her work done in the morning so she could train the afternoon away. She never let this … hindrance… stop her from perusing her dream. The girl had a lot of growing up to do in the past year and a half… due to the loss of her parents she was the supposed next clan Head though she inwardly doubted her capability. Finishing up a file the woman stood up to put the manila folder into her cabinet when she noticed a black bird on the porch of her study. She rose a thin brow her golden eyes examining the creature…. It was a messenger bird. Gloved black fingers lifted the window, reaching her left hand out to the bird who promptly followed suit dropping the note in her hand before taking off in an eager flight. The woman opened the note and it read; ‘We have someone at the gate who needs attention’ She rose a brow. ‘Well then this should be interesting…’ The woman dressed in her Kunoichi outfit began out her study and down the hall. She wore her all to familiar coat which now fit into her grown figure, a beige tunic top that was held together by her utility belt and her black spandex shorts under them. She wore thigh high socks with Kunoichi boots and shin guards, also of the beige color. Grown older the girls hair was too much to maintain down and she had put it up in a high pony tail with her bangs swooping off to the left side of her heart shaped face. As she went to exit the door she gripped her war hammer and placed it on her back holster. She then headed out of the Kedoin manner. Appearing at the gate about 5 minutes after receiving the letter the woman stood in front of the three men, she had to look up at them. Her golden eyes traveled over the OBVIOUS new comer, and her eyes did not miss the bees… She rose a brow. “How can I help you?” She asked to the boy. He was taller than her but somehow she was looking down at him. Kaylee sometimes took care of wanders and new comers due to her financial situation and the fact that the Kedoin owned a lot of land in which homes could be built on. Of course she just covered the financial portions of this. Even still she liked greeting new faces even if her pink lips hadn’t shown a smile yet.

AsashinAsashin Whisper: Notoru hadn’t lowered his head, needing not to. The unhuman stillness he had seemed solid. Hearing her ask if he needed him, he didn’t think so. However, judging by how she carried herself, she may be able to help him indeed he thought. “I’m just a kid looking to be of some good use to the village. I know no better way than trying to join this academy I’ve heard much about.” His eyes made occasional shifts behind his lens. He appeared calm and at peace, but he was actually cautious. Messages travelled quickly he witnessed, and they looked well organized. Notoru loved organized establishments, he wouldn’t think himself getting involved in anything more or less that didn’t have a strict set of rules and guidelines. A special kind of fiend. “Would I by any chance be able to achieve this goal?” He asked, for the first time since he been here, he actually showed a spark of interest in his voice. Whether it was real or false was yet to be decided. There was a slim chance he may just not be good enough as the man told him not too long ago. After all, this was the village that nearly put his clan to extinction. That he will not let slip from his mind.

VerinChan: Kaylee had eyed the boy, it did not go unnoticed the fact that he had been shifting his eyes. ‘A cautious little one.’ Of Course this kid was probably only a few years younger than her. “Well then, walk with me?” She gave her soft reassuring smile and a tilt of her head her bangs sliding off her forehead. Turning on her heel she began to walk towards the mansion or manner. “So, where do you intend to live? And how long do you intend to be here?” She was going to have to send him to the Hokage eventually or at least his papers. She wanted to get to know him more. If he had any aspirations for coming here; well at least besides the academy… she would have to get a jounin to test and see if he was genin material. And was he going to work for his place in here? She could probably help him out at first, but he would have to take responsibility of his own life. She appeared within the gates of the Kedoin manner, large estate like buildings a beautiful garden in the front with a small river running its course. She opened the gate for him to walk in first so she could close it behind them. As he spoke to her she would make her way up to the house.

Asashin: Notoru began to follow behind her. Hands still in his pockets supposedly with a casual nature. The woman didn’t come off to be untrustworthy. It seemed she had a lot more reason to be skeptical of his presence more than he would of hers. Already, he felt as if he hadn’t been acting like he should of. Notoru forced a smirk on his hidden lips. Perhaps if he pretended to be more open to himself, eventually he will to them so fitting in wouldn’t be a problem. The Suzumebachi began reacting to his anxiety. The buzzing in his head grew louder, the scurry and burrowing beneath his skin seeming to become more noticeable. This was very unlike himself, he thought. Being out of his comfort zone was just the issue here more than anything. Once this was over, it was to the highest and nearest tree or rooftop he would go. “I can live just about anywhere. A roof would do just fine.” He answered with a mannerism that made it seem as if it was natural. Not knowing he sounded slightly deranged by this answer most likely.

VerinChan: Kaylee had kept her eyes straight ahead as she walked towards her living room, tea had been prepared for her arrival and she smiled motioning for him to sit across from her. “Well, I will not allow that.” She said flatly. Her golden eyes looked over him. “I will provide you with shelter; no options.” Her voice was strict, but at the same time sweet. She would not allow anyone to be homeless unless it was some crazy training sessions, a few people came into mind. She looked to one of her maidens and the woman nodded and scurried down the hall. “Are you planning on a permanent residence here?” She tilted her head slightly as she scooped a few cubes of sugar in her tea and a tiny bit of milk she began to stir; but all of her motions where as if muscle memory. Her orbs never once leaving his figure. “I’m not going to hurt you, I am just asking some questions.” As she finished that sentence her maiden gave her a manila folder and she opened it pulling some papers out. She held out her black gloved hand as the girl gave her a pen and Kaylee placed it on the top of the paper. “What’s your name kid?” She should’ve asked this ten times sooner… but even if he did tell her she would’ve forgotten already.

Asashin: Notoru blinked at the nearly almost instant denial of his proposal. This one must have been a person who was used to authority. If not, this must have been what they referred to as ‘bossy’. His assumption was confirmed when the woman came to give her the papers she wanted, also by the fact tea had already been set. Now he was curious who he spoke to indeed. “That’s fine.” He submitted. Notoru figured he would find a way to sneak out later on, so he wasn’t too bothered by the dismissal. “Thank you.” He added later on, watching his manners around her. “My name is…” A pause had struck him, pandering if to give his real name. “…Toru. Toru Aburame.” Chills ran up his spine at the fact he had lied for the first time ever. The fear of them finding out of his origin took its toll, but perhaps it was best. Toru further pressed on the fib with a slight nod. His vision strayed to the side soon after. It was a strange new sensation, the fact he lied to someone who just offered to help him if not already helped him. The insects beneath his skin began to calm down.

VerinChan: Kaylee’s golden eyes narrowed on the boy, “An Aburame huh?” She saw the shift in his eyes, people often did this when they lied or where nervous… and the sounds she had once faintly heard calmed. She decided to play into his fib. “That’s wonderful, I wonder if any of your family is in here, maybe I don’t have to get you a place… you can stay with your aunt… or uncle. I know all the Aburame’s in here. Funny though they are usually from the Hidden Leaf Village, and don’t travel to far… Where did you say you came from again?” She asked as her pen was gliding across the paper she had written his first name but not his last as she wrote a good description of him and paused on location. Her golden eyes shot up as if piercing through him. Though her polite smile was ever apparent. He wanted to play a game she would play it with him and she would do it with her killer - diller smile. She had learned how to smile in the most ridiculous situations due to the fact that she had been in charge of this business for the past year and a half. She had made deals done paper work hired people… the whole shebang this shifty child wasn’t fooling her and she kept the smile just to boot along with it.

Asashin: Notoru felt his heart drop at her questioning. This was clearly a match he had a very, very slim chance of winning. At this point, it would only end in him being looked at funny because of the hard time he gave with such a simple answer. He had to come up with something quick. “I don’t know where my family members are, unfortunately.” Notoru put on the most crestfallen tone he could to be as convincing as he could muster to be. “I was born and raised by the streets. Living off of the kindness of the leaf village.” He shut his eyes, formulating. “I took refuge in an abandon building. As the place was fairly dirty enough for insects to also live there. It was the only way I could live and still be in touch with my small roots of ninjutsu.” Toru feigned a sigh, opening his eyes to look at the woman. Time had slowed as he waited to see if she would buy his story.

VerinChan: Kaylee’s smiled turned into a frown as she reached across the table her gloved hands grabbing his one hand… her golden hues seemed to lose their color. “I’m so sorry to hear about your struggle, but welcome home.” She then smiled and tilted her head again a coy smile on her lips. “So since you were separated with your parents I can go through the files of the Aburame clan and try to see what your real name is if they gave you one… And also… All and Any Aburame clans are from the Leaf so I can search through the missing children’s report. I am glad you were able to find your way home.” She pulled her hand back from him and began to rip through the papers. “We won’t be needing these any more, What did you say your first name was again?” She gently knocked on her own skull. “I am a ditz sometimes and forget.” She titled her head with a fake blush and a sweet smile. If this kid wanted to keep playing Kaylee was either going to crack him, or kill him when it came down to it. She was hoping for the first one. If he was just honest with her then he could continue his life… she highly doubted he was any threat to the village but honesty was truly the best policy and she wanted him to learn that first and foremost. So she wouldn’t mention the bees… she wouldn’t mention his chakra or the obvious lies… She knew ALL the Aburame in this village… and none of them were missing a child… none of them had left this village… unless on missions and most of them were conservative in who they ‘mated’ with. Kaylee was no dumb ass… and she didn’t appreciate this boy trying to dupe her as one.

Asashin: She just wouldn’t let up. He thought, instead of frustration—fear grew. The sensation of being pushed into a corner was not one he was familiar with. The hive felt threatened. Notoru’s body released a very low humming that didn’t break. Once she took one of his hands, a few Bees crawled down his wrist. They were prepared to sting, going off the uneasiness that writhed around with the Suzume over his flesh. When their eyes met, it was if he looked into the eyes of someone who was well exhausted of what he was playing. It became apparent that what he was doing was more than futile. Her temperament was a scary one once you pushed her to that point. It was nerve-wrecking. The Suzume began to retreat as Notoru caught himself somewhat. “I apologize,” Notoru submitted once more, a sigh followed. “My name is Notoru Kamizuru, I know my history of this village, as well as its involvement with my Clan’s history. I didn’t think it was a good idea to say my clan since my people had a past of foolish ambitions.” Notoru’s shoulders dropped even lower than before, feeling defeated.

VerinChan: Kaylee felt the boys unsteady ness drop just with the way his bugs reacted. A small smile rose on her lips. She heard him speak and listened fully even to the tone of his voice. She dipped her index finger under his chin and pulled his head up to meet her golden soothing eyes. “There we go, Now was that so hard?” She opened her left hand as another manilla folder was placed there and she began tow rite all of his information down sitting in her chair her hand writing was incredibly fast and yet so perfect. Not a flaw in her work or spelling. “Noto-Kun” She said softly as she finished up the file and sealed it, her tongue gliding across the seal and handed it to the maid. The maid would scurry down the hall and get it prepared with the other articles of mail to be sent to the hokage. “You will have a temporary residence until the Hokage approves of your file.” She stood up slowly and grabbed a key off the wall. “In the mean time, you will be living in my estate.” She motioned for him to follow her to the outside patio where lay doors in little line like apartments. “Your home is 85, breakfast is at 8 am sharp. Don’t be late.” She lowered the key to his hand before stopping it. “If you hurt anyone in this village I will personally find you and squish every little bee inside of your body…” Her eyes grew dark as she spoke and then she smiled brightly and handed him the key. “Go get comfortable! Dinner is at 7 pm, lunch you’re on your own!” She smiled and pushed him out onto the patio, her hands on her hips watching the nervous child.

Asashin: 'How am I supposed to be the hero of my clan when I can't even lie properly!?' Notoru's eyes widened with self-criticism. Key now in hand, everything happened so fast he didn’t have time to fully respond and understand exactly what just happened. What he did know now, however, was that his house was 85, breakfast was 8 and in her estate. Feeling more depressed than anything now, he slumped down the hall to find his room.
