Aki waited, chewing on a popsicle stick as she did. The popsicle itself had been gone for a while now, but she hardly noticed.
A team...of all the people to be assigned as a team leader, it had to be her. She would have to be in charge of kids. KIDS! Kids hated her.
Aki shifted her weight from where she sat upon the rail of a bridge. Water moved softly below her but it did nothing to calm her. Even though her face was blank from emotions as if she wore a mask, her insides were as stressed as a fish in a sushi bar.
To be honest she has not actually told her team to meet her here, or even that they were in a team at all. She had never really been very good at socializing, so she figured she would just catch them as they walked by.
Why her....?

Katie continued to walk. She was coming across a bridge and she saw somone sitting on the rail.
She lifted her eyes slightly from the view of the ground to the stranger. She then took in her apperance and looked back down.
"Hmn." she said thinking of random things.
Katie sighed and stopped on the bridge and took out the bottle of pain killers. She took a few out and swallowed them.Making a face of disgust while doing so.
"Stupid pain." she mumbled.

Aki was just about to consider putting her ninja skills to use and finding the kids herself when someone caught her eye. She seemed troubled, and looked as if she was in pain, but she fit the profile perfectly. Was this Katie Akahamre?
Aki took in a deep breath. Sure, she could break into a castle, set it to explode, and get out again without even a second thought, but even just thinking about socializing made her want to go off and become a hermit somewhere. Her eyebrow twitched slightly as she tried to hide all her emotions in. "Umm...," Aki said, her voice a little harsher than she intended. "Are you Akahamre, Katie?"
Great. First day with a team and this one was already hurt. Just her luck.

Katie looked over at the girl. Her face went bank.No emotion at all on either of their faces.
"Yes.And you are?And you knew my name how?" Katie said just as harsh as the other girl had sounded.
*Hmn.Not a trusting person. Since it seems as though she doesn't really want to trust me,I might as well do my normal thing and not trust her yet either.* she thought as the pain killers started to work.
*These things really do work fast.* she said looking at the bottle.

Aki looked at the girl for a moment, a very awkward silence between them, then lowered her head and let out a sigh. 'Why me?'
Aki did not really think she was suited enough to be a leader. She was more of a follower or a lone worker. It was easy to tell yourself to do something dangerous, hard to do the same to others.
"My name is Mori Aki," She said, looking up and finally getting enough control over herself to talk normally. "I am your new team leader."
Her eyes scanned over the bottle in the girls hand. "Should I ask what happened?"
Luckily for them both the next girl they were looking for had some healing abilities. Hopefully, however, they would not need them much.

Katie looked over the girl one more time and sighed.
"Team leader,huh? Okay then.And I'd really rather not talk about it if you don't mind." Katie said sitting on the rail also, her voice also a bit calmer and not as harsh.
"So, who else is on the team?" she asked looking at the sky.
*I'm sure Miki is on this team,but I have no idea who else.I'm curious to find out though.*

Although she did not show it, Aki was a little surprised by the other girls reaction. Aki expected surprise, disbelief, maybe a little anger, but not this sort of calm. She would not pry the girl for more answers, even though she probably should. Aki always respected the privacy of others when she could.
"Bakudan Tomu, and Yamato Miki." Aki said, her eyes scanning the surroundings for nothing in particular. "They do not know yet." She looked at her popsicle stick, suddenly wishing there was more icecream left.

Katie looked at the ground.
"I had a feeling Miki would be.I have no idea who the Tomu kid is though. Great. another person I'll have to learn to trust." she said to noone.
Katie sighed.
*Whats with all the knew people?! I mean seriously! I have to fight some,I have to protect some, I have to learn to live with some. The last part is more than hard. Getting used to people and trusting them is just not my thing.* she thought looking back up at the sky.
*Seriously going to be hard for me.*

Aki glanced at the girl. "You would be surprised how quickly you can get close to team members. Most the time it happens without you even knowing."
She jumped up and stretched her arms, an ambu mask showing on her belt.
"Well I had better start looking for the others." She looked back at the girl and gave a small smile. "Then things will get more interesting."

Katie nodded and got up as well,noticing the mask.
"Yeah.Still not sure on that.I'm not one to trust people too easy.Miki is in the hospital. And like I said,I have no idea about the other person.So where to find him is beyond me." she said still looking at the way toward the hospital.
"Shall we go then?" she said.
*I really wonder what that Tomu guy is like.And I really wonder if I'll trust him as easily as said.In a way I hope I can.But in another way,I know not to trust others too much.* she thought as she started to walk toward the hospital,not bothering to see if Aki was following.

Aki nodded and stepped aside to let Katie lead the way. She was not showing it, but Aki was watching and reading Katie carefully. She was trying to find out more about the other girl through subtitle reactions and movements. It was her job as a ninja to do so with an enemy, but her job as a leader to do it with her underlings. She had to learn their strengths and weaknesses right down to fears of spiders. Anything could be used against them, and Aki was not about to let that happen.
She followed the other girl silently, keeping a fair enough distance.

Katie continued toward the hospital. She was looking at the ground deep in thought about many different things. No expression on her face,but still thinking deeply.
She kept walking, not saying a word. They were close to the hospital now.
Her head snapped up and she stopped when it was in view.She closed her eyes and was trying to remember what Miki had said.
*Her new room is right above her old on the next floor.But its on the other side of the hall.Thats what she said.* she opened her eyes and continued to walk.
*Wonder when and where we'll find Tomu.Mabe he'll just run into us somehow.I don't feel like walking around anymore today.*

He was up in a tree looking down on the two girls as they walked "oh crap im so horrible around girls im so nervous i dont know what to say" Leo-kun pops out of his bag and says "dont worry Tomu besides one of them might be the lucky lady" "Leo-kun shhh i dont want them to know everything about me i heard girls like mysterious guys so im going in" "Ok Tomu its your choice" he jumps from the trees and silently lands just behind them "hello my name is Tomu Bakudan" he says as he stands taller than them looking down at them "sorry i didnt find you sooner Aki-sensei"

Aki had noticed the boy in the tree, but pretended not to. After all, it was her job to expect the unexpected, or so to speak. It was also, however, good to let the kids work on not being seen, and sometimes make them think it worked.
It was not till the boy jumped down that Aki looked back with her emotionless eyes. "You know, hiding up in a tree watching girls might be seen as creepy. Not a very good first impression." She was teasing him, mostly to break the ice between them, but also to test his reactions.
He too fit the profile of a team member. Tomu Bakudan. Not from the village, but valuable all the same.

Katie turned around to see Tomu. See looked him up and down then finally looking up at him.
*So this is him.Looks a bit older than me.Try not to sound harsh! I'm just going to have to live with the fact that hes on my team.And Aki-sensei is right.It could very well be seen as creepy.*
"Hello.I'm Akahamre, Katie." she said.She still sounded a bit cold but not as much as usual.
Katie cringed a bit. She sighed.
"How the hell is my leg hurting now?! Why did I ever try to win like that?" she mumbled to herself looking back toward the hospital.
*Pain killers better keep working.I can't have my team members or my sensei thinking I'm weak.I mean I could tell them what happened,and then they would understand.But I can't tell them.And if Miki even thinks about telling them...I* she thought still looking at the hospital.
Katie turned back to the two people.
"Um,Miki has been through surgery or something lately.So she doesn't have alot of energy,so don't push her too far until shes better." she said looking at Aki-sensei.
*But you can push me far.I do it myself everyday I train.*
