Nakashima woke up from his deep sleep at around 8:30 am. He could here birds chirping as the sun rose and shun through his wide open window, as he had forgotten to closed the blinds before he crashed the night prior. He sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes, he looked over at his clock to check the time, 'yes, this time I wont be late'. The tall dark haired man stood up from his bed and walked over to his kitchen to grab a bite to eat before heading off, he sat down and enjoyed his meal, making sure not to take to long as he didn't want to waste time this particular morning. After quickly engulfing his breakfast Nakashima walked over to his wardrobe and selected the clothes he would wear today, he picked his usual pants with a shirt, hat and beads. By 9:15 he was walking out his door and down the street toward the Kages office. The Kaneko clansmen slowly shuffled up the street hands in pockets in no hurry. It didn't take long for him to reach the office of the great Tsuchikage, Kazu. When he arrived he noticed that no other person was here yet, not even the Kage. So he decided that he would go find a place to take a nap. He eventually settled beside the stairs leading up to the office of the Kage and patiently waited for the others to arrive.

Kurai shuffled through his room looking for his favorite pen. "MAO! Did you take my pen again..." There was no answer, which meant she had already bolted out of the house to hide from the her shameless criminal tendencies. Kurai always kept a back up pen, and it was to an extent just as good. As his fingers coiled around the rubber grip... "I have meeting at the Kage's office. No journal entry this morning." Kurai viciously took a comb to his hair and flashed a blindingly white smile in the mirror before jetting out in full leather attire. His leather jacked flapped open and closed flashing his plain white t shirt.

Kurai arrived at the building where he was to meet the Kage, but upon entering the building saw that very few were in. "Hmm, I'm sure the Kage is at least here." So Kurai continued on to the stairs that led to the Kage's office. Sitting on the steps, apparently resting, was... "Nakashima" Kurai said in an uncertain tone. The two shinobi had known each other for awhile but had never met under such conditions. Kurai waited for Nakashima to acknowledge him, "Are you here to meet Kage Kazu too?"

Suteki took her time this morning, her meaning to be late for the up coming meeting with her squad. Anger still the greatest feeling aloft for her squad. The reason for it being the 'squad test' she participated in. Her resentment towards the Kage Kazu for ending the match earlier than she felt needed. She could have continued, she thought, the match, perhaps turning it into her favor. Even though the match ended with her 'passing', it still didn't sit right at all. And than their was Nakashima. Pure hate was the feeling she had for him. He may have done what was needed to pass the test, but she felt the need to exact revenge upon him for his actions. Until she figured out how to exact that revenge, she would need to avoid time alone with him.

She was still sure he was at least a Jounin, a higher rank than she, and he seemed to have gone all out against her. A seasoned Jounin, going all out against a fresh genin, it was a horrible circumstance for her, and a cruel act by him. She might have taken it to easily within the match, though she was still under skilled, severally. She might not admit that to herself just yet, perhaps that being the real stem to her anger. She left the house after taking a relaxing bath and enjoying her breakfast as little as she could. It was now 9:45, and she was still 25 minuets from the Kage's office, at a leisurely stroll.
