Hira walked down the streets of konoha on this fine day and looked around, he was not used to this place so he wasnt sure exactly where he was going. He stopped when his stomache growled "Guess im hungry that means." he thought to himself. He walked into a ramen shop named ichiraku. He liked the ramen made back in kiri so he decided it would be good to find some leaf village ramen. He took a seat and a man across the counter said "Oh... a visitor from the mist village eh? What can i get ya?" Hira smiled at him and adjusted his headband before answering "uhmm... just give me some seaweed ramen if you have it." The man nodded and walked away. Seaweed ramen was his favorite, it was ramen with seaweed in it to soak up the broth, he had eaten it all the time back in kiri.

Otto was about 5 feet away from his partner with about 18 empty bowls of yogurt stacked. As a Hozuki he had a bottomless pit for a stomach. He had a look on his face that was almost pure bliss as he downed his 19th bowl of yogurt. so consumed with the food he didn't notice Hira. He was thinking only bout the delicious yogurt. He was making several rude noises that just sounded out of character for the neat freak genin.

As his seaweed ramen he looked at for a moment, it looked just as good as it did when he ate it in his home country. He cracked apart his chopsticks and began to slurp down the noodles. As he finished his noodles he dove into the seaweed which tasted amazing after it had soaked up the ramen broth. he then held his bowl out to the man behind the counter and as he did he said to the man "Could i get another please?" The man smiled and nodded before disappearing again. He then looked over at another patron who had a ton of yogurt bowls stacked up. Upon closer examination he realized it was otto, he waved saying in his normal tone of voice "Hey otto... decided to grab a bite to eat to i see?"

Otto looks at his partner obviously startled by his sudden appearance. He swallows the rest of the yogurt then says to his partner. "Kiri had horrible yogurt they used water rather than milk; this yogurt is divine. He looks at hira "why are you here... and is seaweed the only thing you eat."

ICHIRAKU RAMMMEEEN!!!!

Needless to say, it was the best. Kou walked the streets of the busy village Konoha. She had gone home and told her mom that she was escorting some Kiri-nin around the village before leaving again. She had given Hiragana directions to Ichiraku's, so she assumed he had gotten there fine.

The divine smell of Ramen hit her in the face before she could see the building. (of course it had been re-build into a building since naruto's teenage years. No ramen shack could survive THAT long.) Opening the door she walked in, greeted by a smiling man, and the backs of two people's heads. One of them had green and orange hair, Hiragana, which she new, and the other one had brown hair and tons of yogurt cups around him.

She blinked at the brown haired teen as she took a seat next to Hiragana. That must've been his team mate making some un-graceful noises. It kind of peaked her curiosity. Looking away from the slurper, she looked at the cook. "A bowl of Pork Ramen please!"

Looking to Hiragana, "So... I see you made it here in one piece. So, how daya like the Ramen? Pretty good huh?"

Hira's second bowl of ramen arrived and he just kind of ignored otto's question and began to chow down. As he slurped up the noodles, he looked over at kou and nodded, not talking with his mouth full. When his mouth was no longer full he looked over at otto and said "Iv only been here a day and iv already gotten asked out on a date hows your day going otto?"

He then turned over to kou and said "Yea the seaweed ramen is awsome, not quite as good as it was made back home but its still amazing. What about the pork ramen, is it good?"

Otto glares at the kisame and says "well I've been here most of the day I was tired from the walk, and needed refreshments." He looked both jealous an intrigued at the though of a girl dating ol' shark-boy. He sees the girl and smiles of course an inuzuka a perfect match. Looks like he won't be stuck with Hira forever there was hope, now to hook Sero up.

Otto looks at Hira then says to him,[color=maroon" have you seen our emo friend?" [/color]He hadn't seen Sero all day and was starting to get worried. Sero was ierd and creepy most people would report him as a stalker quickly. Then again Hira was creepy too and he got a date... maybe just maybe Otto wasn't creepy enough.

Otto looked at the pair and said, "where did you guys meet?"

Razor was bored even though he wasn't competing he still wanted to look around konoha. After hours of wandering he ended up at ichiraku. Razor hadn't eaten yet so he decided to stop in for a bite. When he got in he saw a group of ninja from other villages just sitting and talking. He decided to get to know them. Razor ordered a bowl of pork ramen and walked over and said" Hello my name is Razor i am a genin from the sand village".

Ding! Ramen was done. She watched as the young man filled her bowl with noodles and broth, laying toppings on as well. Her mouth was watering.

Clink!

Bowl in front of her she broke her chop sticks, put her hands together, mumbling a thanks and began to scarf her ramen down. Pausing to take a breath, she smiled at Hiragana. "Delicious." Looking over at the brown headed boy. "I think your friend here got lost. He looked like a sad little puppy, so I was talking to him by the Shinobi Monument. What's it like in Kiri? Everyone says it's wet."

After asking she continued to stuff her face, setting the chopsticks down and chugging the juice. "Another bowl! Extra Miso please!" Kou really eat like no tomorrow.

"wet would be the best way to describe it."

It was like a phantom had spoken. his presence hidden like a ghost on the stool in the corner eating his own rations and watching his team mates for any signs of foul play. those grey eyes where as cold as the chilling kiri mists and even for a genin being within the presence of Sero sent chills down the spine's of most. it was obvious that he was hardly human in his own way. his eyes seemed to bear into the soul of where ever they looked. his grey hair like the rain filled clouds fell in strands around his face as he flipped the page on his book with the label scratched off.

Otto seemed to appear next to Sero with an angered look on his face, "You've been in this tea shop the whole time..." he was pissed that Sero had gotten the drop on his when he prided himself on being strong. Sero was the only male in Kiri that Otto didn't want to kill he was Otto's best friend, but although he didn't want to kill him that didn't mean he wouldn't kick his emo ass.

"Aye. well not the whole time. I searched the perimeter and the kitchen for traps or poisons first. my findings where inconclusive."

He seemed perfectly calm as usual in the face of Otto's anger and his grey eyes lazily look to Otto's as if finally giving they're full attention. close to a friend as Otto was Sero didn't trust anyone. especially not angry.

"your making a scene dear Otto."

"You checked for poison... I knew you weren't a complete ass" he says smiling. "You made sure we wouldn't die" he says smugly happy to see that his teammate cared. his smile fades as he asks, "What do you mean inconclusive? "

Sero closes his book with a snap and gives Otto a short stare as if attempting to asses if the question where made of dripping sarcasm. however after a moment he rises to his feet. and speaks.

" I do still have use for you both of course. And dying in enemy territory would inevitably end badly. as for inconclusive. I am not provided with the books necessary for all the herbs indigenous to the area and thus do not know they're traits."

Boys. Posting order. Respect it, before I have to step in more. Also, what's the deal with the poisons? They're not allowed on site. .---. How would a non-medic have access to in-depth poison information, anyway?

Hira laughed at what kou had said, did he really seem like a lost puppy? How he could be compared to a puppy in anyway was something he could not figure out but it didnt matter. He finished his boal of ramen and looked at kou, he answered her question while reaching into his pocket. "Kiri is a beautfiul place, maybe not as fancy as the leaf but still beautiful, espically with the kisame clan growing these." He said pulling out a spiraling blue and purple flower. He handed it to kou and continued to say "Thats a water wisp, flowers grown only by my clan, they are very rare but very much worth having. I grow them a lot since, as far as i know... im the only clan member left." It was true he didnt have a clue weather or not any other kisame were out and about in the world but then again he had never really thought about that subject a whole lot. It never really bothered him possibly being the only one left because that just made him unique and like no other in the world.

Otto leans over to Sero right before Hira gives the flower and wispers, "Well here we go again... and he gives the flower.... now!" as he says now Hira hands Kou a flower. "Right on cue lover-boy" he says loud enough for Hira to hear him. He smiles to let Hira know that he's teasing then says aloud to kou, "You must be an Inuzaka... although I don't see your dog." he looks around his feet as if the girl might have a really small one that he hadn't noticed.
