Meeting at the Kage's Office.

[Iroppoi]

Iroppoi lifted her head and looked at Donny. There were three people in his head?! That was weird but he was cute so she didn't mind too much. Iroppoi smiled at him sweetly. "Yeah, it looks like we're partners."

[kyoko]

As Kyoko got the list she looked at it and tought about the previous list. "Rodok, he's from the Aistyn-clan aswell isnt he? I'd love to work with him. Would you have any idea where he is?" She said as she looked around. As far as she knew he wasnt in this room and she became pretty curious. Not only because she didnt saw him in the room but also because Rodok was an Aistyn-member. Impatiently she gave the list to the next person.

[The Care Bear!!]

Bukase opened the door to the office, panting slightly from his quick return from the mission he was just on. He had traveled nonstop and as quickly as he could manage to get to the village, then came straight here. His face and clothes were covered in a very fine layer of dirt with occasional leaves and grass sticking on the clothing and in his hair. After taking in everyone that was there, he brushed himself off for appearance's sake and stepped in, eyes instantly searching for signs of foul play that the others might have missed. His wakizashi were loose in their sheaths due to his suspicion that it might've been a rival village aiming to destroy this one. When he was well into the room, he turned to Hotoka, who looked to be leading what was happening in the room. "What has happened? Where's the Raikage?" Though he was obviously fatigued, he stood poised to leave immediately for a search if there was any mention of foul play.

[amaya]

Just seconds after Bukase stormed in Amaya jumped in through the window, missing Hotoka with just a couple of inches. Just like Bukase, Amaya's face was dirty as well as her clothes. She looked around in the room and saw an awefull lot of people in a circle and someone she didnt knew on the seat of the Kage. She walked backwards towards Bukase while not loosing sight of the man in the chair. "Wha's this about eyh? Who are yah?" She moved her attention away from the man for a second and gave Hotoka a small handgesture. "Yo!"

[hotoka]

"Rodok you say? hehe I uhhm" Hotoka's voice began to loose strenght, became softer and he turned his head slightly down. "I uhh.. kinda left him at my previous mission.. He.. would be somewhere in the lightningcountry..heh.. heheh.. heh.. (^^')
But to continue where we were." Hotoka changed the subject within a second and directly started about the alliances. "Errrr.. So everybody agrees with getting on friendly terms with the leaf? And what about snow? It could be nice to have it as an ally since it is conected to our country. The chance that they accept this would be quite big since, up to this point, they are not allowed to cross our country.
But putting that aside, I understand that everybody.. Or at least everybody who is here, has no problems with the teams. Good, then we're going to the missions now. Seeing we have 5 teams I would like to have 3 teams in the village so no more than 2 teams can go on a mission at the same time. The others are ought to protect the village and preferably train in the meanwhile.
If there arent any more questions then everybody can leave except for Natsumi, Kyoko an.." Before he could finish his sentence Bukase stepped into the office, and seconds later, a girl jumped through the window, missing Hotoka but it did made him lose his balance and fell down on his knee. "What the.." He looked up and looked at the girl...
"...WHATTHEHELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!? Y.. Almo... After this meeting I want to have a word with you young lady.." He shouted as he stood up. After that he turned his head to Bukase, explaining the situation..

[Iroppoi]

When Hotoka said that everyone could leave except for a few people including Natsumi, Iroppoi raised an eyebrow. Why did he want her to stay behind? Iroppoi looked at her sister."I'll see you at home later Natsumi." she said. Iroppoi then faced Donny. "And hopefully, I'll see you later too." Iroppoi said with a wink then walked out of the office.

[Othello]

Noticing he was paired with adasuke he thought it was a good decision and approached Adasuke while leaving. He didnt like this, he felt a bad feeling about something about this situation.

Putting his hand on Adasuke's shoulder he cheerfully greeted him "Hey Adasuke i heard alot about ur battles and ur a great fighter. Im Ruisu im sure u havnt heard of me im kinda a nobody but i promise not to let ya down" He said raising a thumb and smiling widely

[Hmph]

Natsumi nodded as she listened to Hotoka's instructions. When the girl popped in the window she didnt know what to think. Soon after Hotoka explained everything to Bukase everyone began to leave, and she and Kyoko was ordered to stay.

On her way out her sister gave her a skeptical look. If she knew her sister like she thought she did she knew Iroppoi was thinking pervertedly. "He asked Kyoko to stay to you Idiot," She thought
Hoping her sister would get what she was thinking by reading her expression.
"Later," She said to her sister, she hoped her sister wouldn't slack off while she was away. She gave a final smile to Iroppoi as she walked out

[adasuke]

Adasuke continued walking, noting his partner's hand on his shoulder. A little too friendly for a first time meeting but no harm done. besides, he was just trying to be nice. Adasuke smiled back, adjusting his headband.
"Hey Adasuke i heard alot about ur battles and ur a great fighter. Im Ruisu im sure u havnt heard of me im kinda a nobody but i promise not to let ya down"

Adasuke stopped sbruptly, lowering his head so that his messy bangs obscured most of his expression.
"I appreciate the compliment, but you've heard wrong. I threw my last match, because i couldn't beat my opponent."

Adasuke lifted his head and grinned at Ruisu.

"But that won't ever happen again, so there's no use fretting right?"

Adasuke dropped back into a steady stroll out of the Kage's office. He spared a quick wave back at Hotoka before shoving his hands in their respective pockets.

[kyoko]

(((OOC:@natsumi, two girls can be interpretended even more perverted xD and he was about to add an "and" I think [an..] so someone else is prolly staying too woot)))

Kyoko heared the plans and nodded in agreement. After that she saw a girl jumping through the window, and landing in the center of the group. Err.. Kyoko gave a weird look at the girl and noticed that her eyes were covered with a thin cloth and on her hip she had a dagger, the same dagger that was given out by the Aistyn-clan. Could this mean that she is the one Matamusso talked about? Then who is the last guy she heared him speak about? She was told about two guys and one girl staying in the cloud-village yet she only knew Rodok and that girl having it. She hadn't heared anything about a thirth Aistyn tough..
She kept thinking about it and more and more people left. Now it was only Natsume, Bukase, Amaya, Hotoka, Ookami and Kyoko herself. She wanted to say something but waited untill the guy covered in dirt responed.

[The Care Bear!!]

"Well, then..." He stared a Hotoka blankly for a moment, relaxing his stnace and pressing his swords tighter into their hilts. His eyes casually shifted from one person to another, affixing on Ookami, then on the possessions that Lash had forgotten to pack up in his sudden leave. "So, uhh... Who do you want to be kage again?" He walked himself to the book case and began studying the titles, oblivious about whoever was leaving or staying... it didn't really matter to him unless he saw something labeled "5-X super top secret-and-this-means-your-eyes-only-or-so-help-me-god" or similar getting pulled out.

[amaya]

Amaya walked towards Hotoka. She came closer and closer. "And then what ej? Gonna tell me I was a bad girl?" (o.~)<3 She now sat next to him and was still moving her head closer to his. All of a sudden she snatched the list of genin-teams away and checked who her partner was, as well as some notes of the conversation that was held before she entered the room. "Who is this Kizashi? Any special attacks or wha?"

[welch]

Rodok dashed through the what seemed empty village, he looked around, curious as to where everyone was. He stopped briefly, for he thought he heard voices... After listening he could hear the voices coming from the Kage's office. Rodok then dashed towards the Kage's office, and leaped through the window. "Hi everybody" Rodok said smiling.

After his entrance of sorts, Rodok noticed Amaya, (Who he also noticed had the cloth, and was of the clan, which made him nearly ecstatic) stealing a piece of paper from Hotoka, his "1/4th mission ex-partner, and clan mate" ((^^)) Apparently, from what he could gather quickly, Hotoka had organized a meeting here. And whatever the meeting was for, Rodok was very late.

Rodok walked up to Hotoka, he needed to talk to him. "Hey, you're Hotoka then? Hello, I am Rodok Aistyn. I would like to apologize if during that last failed mission we were on, the crossfire hurt you, but the Kage had authorized me to come with you guys, I asked him just after you left, for I noticed we are of the same clan. And I had to meet with you, but with the way things turned out, I guess that had to wait" Rodok, after sprinting to the office, seeing Hotoka and Amaya, and talking to Hotoka like 1 big run on sentance, realised he had been forgetting to breathe. He started to pant practically, and said "Sorry, I was lingering behind where we did the mission, and then ran to here..."

He turned to Amaya, "And you? You're of the clan too? Because, I've travelled from the continent from the south here to meet up with some more of my clan, because I'm of pure blood, and my whole family was killed in a raid, so I never really knew what it was like to be amongst clan members, and-" Rodok realised he was ranting on, and stopped himself "I'm sorry, I'm just very happy right now..." He felt a bit embaressed, and hung his head down.

With his head down, he quietly said "...SO um...What have I missed...?"

[hotoka]

Hotoka couldn't even finish to say who he wanted to stay or most of the people already left. "Err.. Well Bukase, you kinda are the kage from now on.. Yup. And about the alliances, I picked the leaf since it is in the center of the continent. This will make it easier to travel and we'll have a 'defense' for any countries that might start a war with us. That's why I also wanted the snow allianced since we would have an alliance with every country around us, making the chance of suddenly being attacked small and even have a 'shield' in front of us.
And what do you think of the 2-man teams? Should we keep this system or not? I think Most missions are good to do with 2 or maybe 4 man-teams. I'm also wondering what you think of having a limit of teams that go on missions so that the others could train. This would get us all on C-level in no-time while we keep our economy up."
After that Amaya came closer and closer to Hotoka. "Eh.. Iuhh. uhm uhm that's.." He quickly stood up and took a step back. "Kizashi.. Uhh, he uses justu that involve chakra-draining bugs. But wou.." His sentence was interupted by another guy walking in the office. Hotoka saw this boy before on the mission.. "About that mission, It's alright. I was the one who ran off first so (^^") And about the Aistyn-clan, we'll talk about that later. First I want to have a chat with the new Kage." Hotoka pointed at Bukase. "He's the one in charge now so he is leading this meeting.

[welch]

"...Wait...New kage?....No...The old one didn't- ...Did he? How?" Rodok was upset and shocked over hearing this. "I seem to have missed quite a bit..." Rodok said quietly. He totally forgot, nor didnt care at the time about the clan, for something more important was going on.

Rodok overheard hotoka mention new teams. "Teams?" Rodok thought. "It's more of a partnership if it's a '2 man' team. "...Then who am I partnered with?" Rodok's mind was blown, so much had changed since he was out doing a missioon, a kage had died and a new one was chosen, the villages allies were changing, Rodok was reunited with his clan, and a new team system.

Rodok had to recollect, and backed up a bit, he was now next to the window he hopped in, and hung his head while leaning against the wall.

[ookami]

Ookami smiled, as he heard all of this; he then heard the door open. The sound of panting filled the office, causing Ookami to open his right eye. He saw that Bukase had entered the room. Ookami let out a soft sigh, as he listened to Hotoka and Bukase converse. Some of the gennin left, making room somewhat feel more comfortable.

"Well, you people don't need my sorry carcus here anymore..." Ookami grunted, while slowly standing up. He placed his right index and middle fingers on his chin, and tilted his head to the right, making it pop. He peered down at Bukase and gave him the world's smallest smile. "Good luck," he said. Ookami then turn to face the door. "I'll be in Aramis, if anyone needs me..." he mumbled. He then started walking out.

[Hmph]

Natsumi stepped back and leaned on a book shelf, still crossing her arms on her chest. She listened to what the others were saying, about being from the same clan. Although she knew nothing about thier clan she was glad for them, they all looked happy it seemed like a reunion of sorts. She tuned out a bit as she tilted her head and looked at Bukase, who was...the new kage? She shruggled a little there was nothing really left for her to say. She looked down, wondering how Bukase would react to having the title of kage nearly thrown at him. She hoped everything would work out but at the same time she wasn't very sure.

Then Ookami rose and began to leave. She scratched the back of her head softly and closed her eyes as she listened for further instuctions or for any response from the new kage.

[kyoko]

It.. It's that Rodok guy Hotoka was speaking of.. He looks quite hyper. Wonder where this cooperation is going to lead us Kyoko tought as she aproached Rodok. "I would be your team-mate for as far as I know. I'm Kyoko, from the Dessabo-continent and.." she quickly ended her sentence as she saw she was interupting the others, who were talking themselves. "Lets 'meet' after this meeting kay?" She whispered to Rodok as she foccused on Hotoka and Bukase again.

[welch]

As Rodok stood by the window, a girl approached him. She said he was his teammate, and began to introduce herself, but then stopped, before quietly telling him to meet after the meeting. "Sure" Rodok said quietly, so only she could hear him.

Rodok couldn't quite tell, due to nearly all of her face being covered (Although that's what originally made him suspicous) but he asked quietly "You're of the clan too, right?" After asking her, he lowered his head a little bit, but not too much, so he wouldn't seem rude. If his suspicions were correct, then he would be very happy to be partnered with a clan mate.

The meeting seemed to be drawing to an end, which was good, because then Rodok could talk to Amaya, Hotoka, and now Kyoko, and he figured he should introduce himself to the new kage, for they had not met before.

[The Care Bear!!]

Bukase went stiff at the mention of his name and kage in the same sentence. "M...me? Kage?" He turned around slowly, taking everyone in again with a look of disbelief plastered on his face. He nodded to Ookami as he passed. Finally he composed himself and walked to the kage chair, leaning back in it and propping his feet up on the desk. "Well, then... this is a really comfy chair. If you must have me as kage, I guess I have no other choice than to accept." He turned and looked at Hotoka "You'll be my assistant, though. As far as the teams go, it sounds like a good idea for now. I'm worried that some members of the teams will be unwiling to go to certain missions, though, so make sure personalities don't clash too hard with one another. Be sure to keep track of every genin that may be coming through the academy, and we should get around to posting the team orders in a more public place."

He sighed and looked up blankly to the ceiling. "I'm guessing that some missions will require more than two members, though, and for that, teams may have to split up or combine. I'd really like to have teams of three running about, but it seems two is all we can afford now. We'll talk more about it later though." He took his feet off the desk, shuffling through some of the papers laying around, finally pulling out a file regarding a representative to sound. "We do need to be in touch with our ally as soon as possible, though unless Ookami will go, I may have to send a team of you genin. We will not talk about further alliances right now, for too many of them could easily pull us into a conflict. I may send envoys to a couple countries to improve relations, but for now, we leave that at rest."

He looked around the room for a moment, nodding at certain things in the office. "This room is gonna need redecoration, too... But! Unless there's any more business... Amaya, I'd like you to find someone willing to go back with you to Thunder Ridge in my place. Just have them report to this office before you two leave. If that Wolf is still out there chasing bunnies, make sure you meet up with him. You'll be the leader of the mission. Rest today, and leave tomorrow or as fast as you can. Get back quickly."

He nodded to himself for a moment, then looked around at the people still there. "Anyone else have things they wish to bring up?"
