Team Meeting Thread [P|PM2ETR]

As he listened to Taki's information on the young girl, his eyes widened, but only barely. Shigure had heard the Takikage was a younger woman, but to be his age, possibly younger, confused him. Whether or not he agreed with this, he accepted it as truth, given the girl, Rosalie, had said. It didnt hint that she was lying, nor was this a test. "Oh... I'm sorry Takikage-sama... my apologizes... i didnt know." As he watched her open the door just a little more, he'd examine her frame, it was an impulse to gather information on people regardless or their gender, or allegiance. He had noticed he was only barely taller than the girl, and he smiled, without knowing.


This simile wasn't anything but a smile, for Shigure had entered his own world at that point, thinking about how a young girl had so much power and influence within her to be named a Kage was confounding, but humbling. It seemed he had gotten an inflated head with this thought, for his mood changed slightly as he followed them into the room. Shigure's mood had only changed because of one other thought: If this girl could have been made Takikage, then even younger ninja can be made prominent persons of value in the ninja society. For his dreaming of proving his family still had the skill and determination to become great ninja was his only driving force, this made his dream seem achievable.

As he released his mind from his own inner thoughts, Shigure scanned the room, gathering much of the room's features and value. It seemed this room was a little untidy, but it wasn't anything worse than his apartment. The furniture seemed rather cozy, but looked to be un-lived, just as Rosie had stated. As she spoke, he'd listen attentively, placing his piece of paper on the table in front of the Takikage, then taking a seat at the closest black sofa, it seemed he was up first, though the Takikage seemed rather fixated on Taki. "My names Semitsu Shigure, im 13 years old.. and im rather profound with Ninjutsu, thought i was told im prominent in Genjutsu as well... My skills tend to be more proficient in Long range."


Shigure finished speaking and awaited Taki's answer to Rosie's question, crossing his leg as he did so. Even though she was the Takikage, it seemed he felt at ease her, but only because he wasn't one for formalities, and he never saw a person as better than another. All were equal in his eyes.

Take followed the kage into the house ahead of the Shigure. Taki was rather surprised about how open Rosalie was with her personal information. Taki removed his sword, sheath and all, from his belt and held it in his right hand. By holding it in his right hand he showed that he was in a non defensive stance. Taki’s bandaged hands were covered with his brother’s old shinobi gloves which had seen many years of service. Taki felt it was better not to acknowledge the loss of the Kage’s friends. He knew sometimes that you said things just to let it out, and that input wasn’t needed.

Instantly noticed that nobody has kept up the cleaning in this room for a long time. The combination of dust and wilted flower pedals told Taki that this room specifically hadn’t been used in a long time. Taki was still in a small awe from how small the Takikage was, he knew that she was small but THIS small? But at the same time he couldn’t help but think why was he, a no-name shinobi, meeting the Takikage to be assigned to a team. Taki moved further into the room and followed suite to Shigure by placing his letter next to his. Taki took a seat next to Shigure. He knew that being a Genin at his age was uncommon but the circumstances of his upbringing had more to do with it than anything else.

Taki laid his sword across his lap and sat at attention, military style. Taki listened as the boy described his expertise. A long range teammate would be good for Taki, his ability to engage in close-range, fast-paced combat would create man openings for his team and give him the ability to protect everyone by keeping the enemy’s focus on him. That was what he wanted. As Shigure finished speaking Taki began to answer the Takikage’s request [red]”Kai, Takizawa 18 years old. Son of the deceased Kai, Shiro, The Waterfall’s Lightning Swordsman, and brother to the late AnBU Kai, Sousuke. I specialize in a combined Taijutsu and Ninjutsu sword style, the same fighting style as both my father and brother used. I specialize in close range and close quarters combat.”[/red]

I leaned forward and scooped up the notes and ripped the lid off the one with Semitsu Shigure written upon it. He was two years older than I was and specialized in both Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. And his letter seemed pretty good considering he is young. I had graduated from the Academy at age ten so, I was not surprised about his age at all. I glance up toward Shigure with a soft smile and nodded slowly. “Well, Shigure-san. Your Ninjutsu abilities will work well with my current team members, Kanae and Kakuro who are both from the Toujitakumi Clan. They too, specialize within Ninjutsu. I am pleased that you know Genjutsu as now I am no longer alone. I feel that you will get along great with Kakuro as he is a Marksman.” I pause and glance toward his sheet again. “Perhaps you two may want to compare your range abilities?” The tone in my voice was playful, all evidence of Mizuki's death disappearing due to the good news. Shigure's details were then placed back upon the table just as Taki began speaking. The much taller male was indeed the oldest in the group. His details consisted of him being in his late teens and his relatives. The name Shiro Kai did ring a bell to me since I remembered looking up his details in the vault a few weeks ago. He seemed a very intriguing Shinobi and I was disappointed that I never had the chance to meet him since he was long before my time. The AnBU Sousuke however, is someone that I do know, but he scared me a little. So a close ranged fighter, unlike myself who knows nothing about Taijutsu. I nod again, very impressed with both the evaluations on the Shinobi sitting with me. “Well I am pleased that you two had came by. Both your abilities would be a great asset to the team. It is a pity that Kanae and Kakuro are not present to meet you as well.” I say, leaning back in my chair and rubbing my right knee absentmindedly. But since neither of these guys knew anything about me, I exchange glances between the pair of them for a moment, considering what will they provide for Team Phoenix Zero. “Well it's only fair that I tell you guys a bit about me, hmm let's see..” I wriggle slightly in my seat and clears my throat. “I specialize in Medical Ninjutsu and have knowledge in the Nara, Yamanaka and Tsubasa clans. I know little in Genjutsu and Ninjutsu and have no experience in Taijutsu. I suppose I'm sitting in the mid to range combat, unless I'm healing someone.” I chuckle at the last bit and continues to smile brightly. I would eventually get around to cleaning the house, but for now I wanted to know more about the two gentlemen sitting before me. And any questions that they might have in mind..

Once Taki finished his own speech on his expertise, Shigure couldn't help but notice the family background. It wasn't the right time to add on his own, so he'd bring it up at a later time if asked, but only if. Shigure's own upbringing was something he didnt like to discuss, though it was the only reason he became what he was today. His family wasn't involved in his life anymore, nor was he there's. The young genin was fine with the conversation change when he heard the Takikage speak.


"I wouldn't mind testing my abilities against another... should be quite the thrill." He quickly answered the question Rosie had stated fight after her comment on his own abilities, and matched them against some person named Kakuro. Even though his face remained stoic and intrigued, he locked the names Rosie had stated in his memory so that he could find information on each of them. Such was Shigure's mindset to always analyze the situation, whatever it may be. As they continued, he'd listen once more.


Shigure couldn't help but be intrigued by the Takikage's ability to speak so well to them as well as keep a smile on her face, even though they were for the most part, strangers. He would knock this up to her ability to lead, and continue to listen. As he listened to her Abilities Shigure kept his eyes on her smile. It seemed either she hadn't been through much heartbreak, or she had a way to persevere against it. Which one he didnt know, as of yet. When she stopped speaking there was an eerie silent about he place, and broke it instantly. "So... to be apart of this team... what was it that set us apart from other potentials?" He took this road to attempt some type of conversation. It only helped that he was actually curious that he was given a note to come here... since he had only been a ninja for less than a year. Maybe they could tell him.

In my honest opinion, I felt the urge to make the two males fight each other in the back yard by the pool. At the thought of this a cunning, sly smile appeared upon my face, looking almost flirtatious as I watched Taki. “A battle you say? I would be very interested to see both your abilities in combat. So why not fight each other while I watch? This should give me a good thought of wither I should accept you in my team or assign you to a team of my choosing.” My tone was extremely playful as I spoke the words. Almost laughter seemed to surface in my tone while I quickly stand from my seated positions. Leaving the two envelopes on the table, I watched for Shigure and Taki's reaction to my sudden suggestion. My arms then folded, my face a cheeky grin. “So what will it be, gentlemen?” I then say, tilting my head to the side slightly.

Tapping my foot slightly and staring out the window toward the back yard, perhaps a mission or two should do it. “Hmm guys, perhaps a mission? I will take you both out on a mission. I want to see what your abilities are.” I suddenly say to break the awkward silence. After a swift motion, I stand and head around the small table and heads into the kitchen to grab my two fans before leaving the house hopefully with both gentlemen behind me.

Without a word, Shigure nods slowly at the Takikage as she spoke, listening to her intently. As She left, the young teenager stood up, rearranging his clothes, and walked almost directly behind her. He only stopped for a mere second to take a glance back at Takizawa, wondering if the man would come or not. Whether he did or not, Shigure kept on Rosalie's Trail, his own reasons of proving himself as a ninja to the young girl was his only driving force.
