Naruto sat awaiting his food to be brought to him. He tapped the counter lightly to a beat that happened to be stuck in his head. He looked around in the Ramen shop, no one yet... If anyone were looking for him they would surely know where he is, he came here many of times so he was sure they'd find him. But it depends.... was there anyone looking for him? Did anyone care to say 'Hello' to an old time friend. He then looked towards the worker lady and blinked twice. "Hey, have you seen Sakura around?" He asked curiously. Once he had asked he quickly started to regret it but kept a cool face as he waited for the answer. The lady thought for a moment, she wasn't good with names. "Um, do you mean the pink headed girl?" She asked, she didn't like it when she forgot but she was pretty sure she had a good picture of who Sakura may be.

Naruto nodded and smiled lightly. "Yep, thats her" He replied. Naruto didn't know anyone else with pink hair so he was positive that the worker lady knew who he was talking about. "No, I am sorry, but I haven't." She said shaking her head as she began to walk away. Naruto nodded and let out a light sigh before looking back to where he saw the chef walk off. He knew that if Sakura was still around most of his other friends would still be here, atleast, thats what he guessed. He was sure that Rock Lee would be here. Heh, bushy brow... He thought to himself he couldn't help but laugh lightly when he thought of Rock Lee's huge eye brows. The chef walked out from the back and sat down a bowl of fresh Ramen with all the seasons and toppings that Naruto enjoys best. "There ya go. Now don't go making a mess and you better pay up" He said waving a finger at the blonde headed boy, who was too busy drooling over the Ramen to pay any attention to the chef.

"Alright! Time to eat!" Naruto said, grabbing his chop-sticks and without any hesitation devouring the noodles that sat infront of him. The chef took a step back and let out a hopless sigh. "This kid never changes.." He said with a weak smile as he walked away, back into the kitchen.

As the dusk set on Konoha, the streets became more and more empty. So much so that a pin drop could be heard hitting the dusty, uneven floor of the great village. During this time a young man appeared with a thin, torn up cloak, gradually stomping his way to the Ramen shop. This nostalgic place held great memories for many of Konoha's inhabitants. However, this young man seemed to be lost in the nostalgia and it seemed as if he didn't come around that often; despite him living in Konoha for the past few years.

As he arrived at the shop, its five banners were covering up the faces of whoever was inside. The young man peeked and he realized a boy sitting on his own, eating some food. He looked at him and said with disgust, Pfft, is this place always filled with pigs?." As he said this, he began to feel rain drops falling from the sky. Seconds later, the rain began to pour down as if the gods themselves were crying. Naturally, the young man was forced to go inside the ramen shop, "Dammit!" He exclaimed, as he looked at his drenched cloak. He then looked over the worktop and realized a lady staring at him and he became mad. His veins began to bulge but his anger was short lived as he smelled the subtle, yet exquisite aroma of Ramen. He forgot how great it was and because he had not really stopped by this place, he had not ever realized the great food that was created here. Suddenly, nothing mattered except for him getting some of this great food! yum..I want some Ramen!" he exclaimed. However, when the woman told him the cost of a bowl of Ramen, he realized that he had nothing left in his wallet. Despite this, he still looked but only found some lint and a couple of pennies.

He looked at the woman with an innocent smile before inquiring, Don't I get some kind of Bijuu discount?". The lady just stared at him before walking off, Dammit! No respect nowadays!". He then took up a seat and looked at the boy sitting beside him. He was blond and looked really quite peculiar. "You should be quite humbled." the young man said whilst flicking his hair. "You're sitting next to the great Kaze Setsudanki!. And for one time only! You can become my personal assistant! And you can start by paying my tab!" Kaze then stared at the boy with his sinister eyes...

Naruto finished his bowl and held it up with a grin on his face. "Hit me again, chef!" He said handing the bowl to chef once the chef had taken his bowl he tapped the counter impatiently. He could see that the chef was getting a bit impatient too, he knew he wanted his money and so far he hasn't seen Naruto take out any of his money from his wallet yet so he wasn't sure if he had the money to pay for his food or not. Naruto had the money to buy two bowls of Ramen, he was sure of it, last time he checked in his Gama-Chan (his wallet) he had more money then the last time he had came here. But he had to watch himself, last time he forgot how much money he had and just kept getting more and more Ramen to the point where he couldn't afford to pay. But that was a long time ago, he didn't have to worry about that now.

"yum..I want some Ramen!" He heard, opening his eyes to look toward the newcomer who had seemed to be soaking wet. He blinked several times trying to think of weather or not he has seen him around here or not. It didn't look as if he did. So he looked away, closing his eyes and tapping the counter again. Naruto had began to wonder why the guy was soaking wet when it was perfectly sunny outside. Naruto opened his eyes and quickly turned around noticing it was raining. "Aw man!" He thought, looking away and letting a annoyed sigh escape his mouth. Don't I get some kind of Bijuu discount?" Naruto looked at him, "Did he say Bijuu?" He thought, narrowing his eyes at the mysterious man before quickly looking away, hoping he didn't notice Naruto looking at him such away. The worker lady gave Naruto a cup of water and he smiled lightly and nodded in a wordless thank you and taking a light sip of his water.

The chef came back sitting Naruto's new bowl of Ramen on the table. "You should be quite humbled. You're sitting next to the great Kaze Setsudanki!. And for one time only! You can become my personal assistant! And you can start by paying my tab!" Naruto nearly spat his water all over the counter, but he manged to hold it in causing him to cough alittle. "Wha?! No way! and if your so 'great' how come I never heard of ya?!" He complained; Naruto didn't want to be some personal assistant for some guy who claims to be all mighty and really isn't. He started to eat his Ramen slower then before but not as excited about eating it as he was before either. Of course he was still going to eat, he just was a bit upset that this random guy would approach him in such a way. But just because this guy just happened to become annoying very quickly didn't mean Naruto's apatite was lost.

Kaze looked at the blond haired boy in anticipation; He really wanted some of that great smelling ramen. He was optimistic about the outcome and knew in his heart that the boy would jump at the chance. However the young boy almost spat out his Ramen and began to look frustrated, "Wha?! No way! and if your so 'great' how come I never heard of ya?!" Kaze was shocked at his insolence and blatant disregard for social standing. What did you say!? He said, holding his fist towards the young boys face, No respect! What do you mean you haven't heard of me!?".

After his short rant subsided, Kaze looked at the young boy whilst he was eating his Ramen. He flicked his head back in disregard and just sat down whilst resting his head on his crossed arms. "I seriously need to get more recognised. May be I should campaign or something." He said in his usually weird ways. His anger was subdued by his extreme boredom, hunger was usually the catalyst of this feeling. He then looked at the blond haired boy and came up ewith a nickname for him, !From now on kid, I'll call you Blondie since I can't really be bothered to remember your name."

[havoc]

A torrent of rain fell from the sky as a lone figure wandered the streets of the city. He had stopped by the shopping district to pick up a few things to eat as he made his way to the hideout, and he figured he would buy some extra stuff just in case everyone else was there and hungry. He had stopped by a few places already when it began raining. His simple white t-shirt didn’t protect him from the elements much, but Kyuubi didn’t mind the rain.

He was such a strange man, hot headed, vulgar, sarcastic, and arrogant. Yet he was also friendly and protective, tender enough to think of the Bijuu when shopping and going out of his way to buy food for them in case they were hungry. He thought of them as his family, he did not even mind that some of them didn’t like him; some might even downright hate him. It did not down him though and his laidback demeanor showed even in this gloomy weather. Like the way his glowing white strands of hair opposed his sable locks, his personality was seriously contrasting.

Mitsuo suddenly became alert as he stood still. Two things caused this reaction. First there was the mouth-watering smell of fresh ramen on the air, and he nearly drooled on himself at just the faint smell. The second was a familiar aura that came from nearby. He was pretty sure it was one of the Bijuu, as it was a particularly strong aura, and most normal citizens and students did not possess this. As he came closer to the Ramen shop, he was sure the aura came from Ichibi, one of the more… strange of the Bijuu, but not a threat to Kyuubi.

He stepped into the shop soaking wet, water tumbling from him. He looked around and saw only two people. He was familiar with Ichibi, but there was the other. A strange aura rose from this blond headed boy. It piqued Mitsuo’s interest but for now he was just hungry, he could gather information just as well as he ate. The cute young lady came by him and he ordered a bowl of ramen with beef. He winked at her as she took his order and she turned rosy up to her ears as she walked away. He sat and turned to the other Bijuu. “Hey Ichibi, what’s up?”

"What did you say!? No respect! What do you mean you haven't heard of me!?". Naruto payed not attention to him or his hand. He turned away slightly and sat his almost empty bowl back onto the counter. Maybe he was being a bit too rude, he could have said no nicely like: "Oh no, I am very sorry but I can't". Psh! Everyone knew that wasn't how Naruto would respond to something like what this guy had said to him. He didn't think about his response, he just let it blert out, but he didn't regret it so there was no reason in thinking about it. Naruto began to eat his food yet again, silence, except for the clanking of pots inside the back and the movement that was so obviously heard. Finally finishing his noodles he let out a refreshed sigh and sat the bowl back onto the counter, looking around to see if the chef was coming out from the back or he had to call him.

"I seriously need to get more recognized. May be I should campaign or something." Naruto blinked twice and looked to him, everyone wanted to be recognized what made him think that by doing this anything would change. Poeple still might not like him. "From now on kid, I'll call you Blondie since I can't really be bothered to remember your name."
"Wha?!!!" Naruto nearly fell out of his stool when he heard the guy say that.

"You don't even know my name so how would you have a hard time rememberig?!" He explained, folding his arms over his chest and closing his eyes. "Whats wrong with this guy?" He asked himself knowing that he would get an answer anyway. "Blondie..." He muttered to himself, looking away from the weird guy who had seemed to start becoming more and more annoying. How could he call him blondie?! What kind of nickname is that?!

Naruto heard the door open and and opened his eyes, looking back to see who it was. Another person he didn't know. He wondered if anyone he knew was going to walk through those doors. Probably not, seeing how badly it was pouring outside today. He saw the chef walk from the back and look to Naruto. "Done already?" He asked. Naruto smiled and shook his head "Nope, not yet. I want some more" He said handing the chef his bowl. The chef sighed and walked away. “Hey Ichibi, what’s up?” Ichibi? so thats what this guys name was. He looked to the two and scratched the back of his head lightly.

The rain outside continued to pour down on the streets of this great village. There was no sign of any give; it seemed as if constant taps on the surface of the roof were the music, played ceremoniously to mark the meeting of the two. But no one knew if anyone else would be forced into the small shop...

When Kaze told the young boy of his new nickname, it seemed as if he wasn't too fond of it and this upset him. Kaze knew that he had not asked for the young boy's name, but he wasn't too bothered. Names did not stick in his memory for too long and much to the whiskered boy's chagrin, he was going to call him Blondie anyway. "He is blond though" He thought to himself"Jeez, what's his problem?".

The heated atmosphere of the shop was in stark contrast to the damp, mania outside. The shop was pretty much a small room and the clash of the heat and cold was creating a humidity which affected Kaze. He liked the wind and because of this, he was not too fond of the the stuffy nature of the place. Not mentioning Blondie, he really wanted to get out. But he had to deal with it.

Kaze was not a very violent person and did not persist in getting into fights. But he wasn't the nicest person you'll ever meet, in fact, he was down right vulgar. His gaze turned towards the woman at the other side of the counter, and he thought she was rather peculiar. It seemed strange to him that someone that pretty could be working with an old bum like the shop owner. He kept on staring at her, he was not good with women. The lady looked back; fidgeting nervously she turned around to continue stirring the pot of food. "hehe, she likes me..." He thought to himself. Although this was most surely not the case. His fantasizing was brought to a halt when he heard the inconsiderate boy next to him munching and slurping.

Because of the heavy rain outside and the friction inside the ramen shop, no one realized the immense chakra that was about to come into the fray. The banners that were acting as the barriers between the outside were slightly raised up, allowing a man to enter. Kaze did not look back because he realized the familiarity of the chakra and knew it was a certain member of the Bijuu. Blondie looked back to see who it was. However, when the shop keeper asked if he was done, the young boy entreated for another bowl. This angered Kaze but before he could say anything, he heard a voice..

Hey Ichibi, what's up? Kaze halted and turned his head ever so slightly towards the newcomer. He knew that this person was not only a Bijuu, but it was Kyuubi, the leader. "Hey there Boss"He said in a calm manner. Ichibi didn't like most of the Bijuu, however, Kyuubi was one of the only ones he had respect for. "I'm not up to much",He said "Just talking to my new best friend.." Kaze meant this in a very sarcastic manner; obviously...

[havoc]

Kyuubi drummed his fingers on the counter in front of him, waiting impatiently for his food. It hadn’t been but a minute or two, but he had already gotten impatient. Talking got his mind off his stomach, a least for now so he paid more attention to Ichibi. "Hey there Boss. I'm not up to much." Mitsuo noted that he had no food in front of him, so either he had finished eating already, or he had just came in to get out of the rain.

"Just talking to my new best friend.." This last thing he said in a very sardonic manner. Seeing as there was only one other customer in the shop besides himself, he decided that he must be talking about the blond-headed kid who sat eagerly waiting for another bowl of ramen. “Heh, your new best friend huh. Well then it seems I should introduce myself.” He chuckled softly.

He sat between the two other customers so he turned his body toward the other boy. Now was as good a time as any to see what he had felt earlier. As he concentrated on the boy he felt a tug deep down in the pit of his stomach. A familiar feeling, almost a kinship emanated between them. He studied his face and saw the whiskers marks that graced his face doubled on the boy.

At first he thought it might be that he was finally getting a few fans, but then he remembered that the boy had seemed to not recognize him when he saw him enter, so it must be something else. He reached up and scratched at the whiskers on his own face, marks that he was born with. This was an oddity that he could not figure out without speaking with the boy, so he finally voiced a question. “Hey kid, are those makeup, or what?” He said pointing, and obviously talking about the whiskers.

"Hey there Boss" The blonde headed boy blinked in confusion. Ichibi didn't greet this new guy by saying his name, he had called him boss. Maybe they were inside some gang or something. The only gang Naruto has heard of is Bijuu; well, besides the Host Club. "I'm not up to much, Just talking to my new best friend.." Naruto gave Ichibi a lazy look when he heard his sarcastic comment and rolled his eyes slightly and looked away. "Har, har... I am laughing up a storm here.." He said replying with his own sarcastic statement to Ichibi and the new guy.

He looked away from the two and awaited his ramen once it had came he grinned lightly and picked up his chop sticks once again. Naruto had slowly shifted his eyes away from the new guy, he had seemed to be looking at him weird and Naruto had thought that maybe the less he looked at the new guy the less the guy would stare at him.“Hey kid, are those makeup, or what?” Before Naruto could eat the new guy had asked him and question and began to point at the markings on his face.

"No, why would I be wearing makeup?!" He replied, slightly muttering the last few words. Naruto didn't know why the guy asked until he looked at him from the corner of his eye and saw that he too had the markings on his face which was extra weird. Naruto had the markings on his face since... well, since he could remember. It felt as if he had them since he were a baby, he wasn't told if he was born with them or not. He didn't know anyone alive who witnessed his birth so who knew for sure. "Why do you wanna anyway?" He asked. Naruto was getting a bit curious but he didn't rush him to answer, he simply waited for him to say something, not sure if he was going to answer them or not.

-Bumpeth? -

[whyerd]

-Bump as in you need someone to enter? If not, toatally willing to make new thread/-

[havoc]

Akamai can, if not I will later.

[whyerd]

[All right I will post. Just remember Sanbi hasn't attended the school yet and isn't part of the Bijuu. If the other two players don't want me to enter, just post as if my char doesn't exist and ask me to delete the post.]

Why couldn't it started earlier? He was questioning the rain. Even as fierce as it was coming down, the rain always calmed him down. He wished that it started when the thoughts of the new school bothered him. Sanbi felt valnurable, no one that he can yet use to sheild himself. The weather made him realize, I'll be 'invisable' soon e... Huh? He felt a strange pressence from the shop, but, Just my imagination. He shakes it off, figuring it was a similar feeling of being watched in an empty room. Then again, most people have taken shelter by now. He's the only walking wonderer.

The boy enters the shop, completly drenched. His blue sweatshirt didn't provide dryness anymore, nor did his brown pants. I should've been faster... And they are blocking my way,,, Normally, he likes to sit in the back, But with the loud, older looking boys, he decides to take the seat closest to the door. They were having some kind of conversation, but he didn't pay too much attention to what was said. Akamai sits quietly, patiently for the chef to finish his current order and hoping he won't be noticed by the other patrons. I want to be next,,,

"Hey kid, are those makeup, or what?" Those words popped into his ear. He slightly grimaces, Why do people always ask about my skin! I don't go asking, 'Why are you such a dumbass!' He then remains quiet deciding to try and tune out the group, missing that part that the punk was asking the blond haired kid. Turning his head away to the closest wall, he reaches for the the napkins. A bottle of soy sauce was loudly knocked over, but it didn't phase him as he procedes to dry his hands. I'm only going to deal with idiots at school... That dumbass better not be in my class.
