She walked across the white sand, digging her toes into it with every step, as her sandles hung frmo her fingers. loosely swinging. She took in a deep breath, as she looked out at the people around the area, all the kids laughing and playing, and such. She smiled widely, and found herself a nice spot to sit and build a castle. She started, just gathering sand, and making a giant pile in front of her, before she began to spread it out into smaller piles, and claiming they were towers. She eventually got artistic, slightly, with it, making some semblance of walls and a moat, but the castle remained a pile of sand, with some lumps taller than others.

She smiled at her handiwork, and laughed at some joke she told herself, that she forgot to voice out loud. She got some weird looks from other people, but that just made her laugh harder, when she saw them. She soon turned to her sandles, and dusted them off, then her feet, trying to get as much sand off as possible, before putting her sandles back on, oddly fast for as intricate as the lacing can be on them. She was admiring her castle from other angles, to make sure that it was perfect. At least, in her mind. She didnt care if anyone else thought it was perfect. To them, it was a lumpy pile of white glistening sand. To her, it was a castle fit for royalty, glistening with the finest sugar and sweets imaginable! She was so proud of it, she sighed, wishing that it was a real castle she could live in....

Scrunch. Scrunch.

A small moan of pleasure released in to the air as Rouga strutted down the streets, a bag of bon-bons in one hand and a single sweet in the other, rolling the sweet along his lips before throwing it down the hatch. A pleased face indeedly. Click clack went his sandals as his coat waved gently in the cool breeze, the coat which signified his authority in the village. Villagers smiled as he passed them, Rouga smiling back in reply while nodding his head slightly. 

He enjoy walking around his village during the day, seeing his people and making sure everything was alright. Sure, you got the odd drunken man and brawl in an alley, but that was nothing a genin couldn't handle. He trusted his genin, chuunin, jounin etc. to handle any situation if he wasn't there. After all, maintaining order and balance within the village is one of their duties. Shaking his head, he focused on walking in a straight line and avoiding a pole which was about a foot away from him, surely to leave a mark down the middle of his face, if he hadn't of moved in time.

And then he came across a child. A child which he hadn't noticed before. Don't get him wrong, he never pays a lot of attention to the children in his village...that'd be weird and messed in the head, but Rouga could sense a chakra signature which he hadn't noticed before. A girl with long midnight black hair, a golden headpiece finishing the look on her head. Maybe to keep the hair out of her face? Shrugging, Rouga took a closer look since the angle he was at wasn't a very good one. Taking a step back, he jumped into the air just slightly to land next to her. She didn't look tall, maybe about five foot or something. Maybe one of the younger students? The clothing, however, wasn't that of standard issue. Her own taste perhaps? A little to revealing for Rouga's liking, but who was he to judge? He wore white baggy cotton trousers with a cotton vest over a silk shirt. He was hardly one to talk.

Looking down at the girl, Rouga lowered the bag of bon-bons he had with him, down to her eye level before smiling.

"Rouga Anemone! Pleased to meet you! Not seen you around here before."

OOC: Make sure to click on my Ninja Info Card link in my signature. Read the Special Characteristics before replying <3

She blinked at a voice so close talking to her, and looked around, and the first thing she saw was the bag of bon bons. Her eyes went big, and she leaned in close, sniffing the bag, whispering, "caaandy..." She stared a moment, and then plunged her head into the bag, taking a mouthful of bon bons, whitch was all the time she had before the bag was stolen away from her. She looked up, her cheeks full of candy, chewing it all slowly, savoring the flavor, but also looking curiously at the man before her. She had noticed his hand was an odd color, but didnt quit catch exactly what.

She stood up, and began talking, but forgetting to actually speak, and halfway through her sentence she was forgetting to speak, she stopped, looking at his garb, realizing that he was her Kage, and lept in the air, giving out a short, audible shriek, before blurting out "Your the kage! Hi there! Was that your candy? Im so sorry, my lord! I just couldnt help myself! Its just so tasty!" she blurt it all out very quickly, bowing to him, almost falling overself, and tripping to the ground, barely missing her castle. She looked up at him after a moment, waiting for a reply, unsure of how he is going to react...

This beast of a child just dived straight into the bag of sweets! Without even a hello! Rouga's golden eyes flashed a fierce flame before he swiped the bag from her face, the confused look plastered on her face showed that she was indeed, confused. Rouga wasn't sure if he should smite the her then and there, making her nothing more than a scorch mark in the ground, or let it all fly over his head and throw his remaining sweets all around. His eyes just remained narrowed and judgemental, till she opened her mouth and began to blurt out both sweets and words at the same time...

SAVAGE!!!

He thought to himself as he retorted back slightly, covering his mouth as he scowled at the girl. How could such a cannibalistic being, roam around in his village freely!? It was his duty to keep order... Taking a step forward, after her tripping and planting into the ground, he bent down to his knees and looked the girl in the eyes before smiling to her. Nah, he couldn't do anything bad to his people.

"Just have the rest of them, they've probably got your saliva all over them anyway~" 

He teased, placing the slightly tattered bag in her free hand.

She blinked, her face partially covered with sand, and confused,as she looked at the bag of candy, then back at his smiling face, which moments ago were burning with fury. She liked his eyes better when they were smiling. They were a pretty golden color. "You must be the best kage ever! I really am sorry, I just cant help myself! Candy is amazing!" 

She stood up, and dusted herself off a bit, trying not to get her lord kage with any of the sand, then looked back up to him, smiling happily, holding onto the bag tightly. "I am Rarda Yana! Of the Yana clan! It is an honor to meet you!" She finally introduced herself, bowing as politely as she knew how, even after the awkward situation. She smiled happily at him, completely at ease now that he was smiling, and she brushed hair out of her face as she looked up at him. She thought he was kinda cute, even if he had the power to destroy her several times over with a blink of his eye! But that was ok, She didnt think he would do that to her. He was too nice to do that! Right?

Tatsu sat atop a large sand castle, or what he thought was a sand castle, it was actually just a fairly large sand dune. His eyes were open and looked out at what would be the sky, and he was enjoying the light rays of the sun dance over the water when he began to hear things from the bottom of his castle. He opened his eyes and peered over to see a young girl and..LORD KAGE!. "It must be his day off! But i wonder what hes doing with that girl?" he thought to himself. His curiosity grew as he began to lean forward to try to hear what they were saying, but the sudden anger of lord Kage had startled Tatsu and he began to tumble down the sand dun and eventually land face first beside to two of them. He poked his head up and shook the sand off him. "...tada.." he said a bit out of embarrassment. He quickly shot up to his feet and bowed to both of them. "Im sorry if im interrupting anything lord Kage!" he apologized sincerely. His face was a bit red, half from embarrassment and half from the hot sand  which he so foolishly slammed into moments prior. Not knowing what to say he grew quiet looking at each of them and giving a slight grin. "My name is Tatsunamii, genin. But you can call me tatsu for short" he introduced himself.

Isao walked calmly down the beach as he looked over the blue sea that glistened beautifully with the reflection of the sun. His face shoed relaxation as he closed his eyes and thought about what to do on his day off. His eyes shot open as soon as heard the voice of his longtime friend and kage, Rouga. "I guess it's time to hang out." He said to himself before walking in that direction. He got within twenty meters of Rouga, only to notice a girl on the ground in front of him. Within a few moments, another person rolled down a sand dune at the duo. Isao chuckled as he watched the odd people interact before closing the gap and introducing himself. "Hello Lord Kage. Have some new friends here?" He asked not recognizing the two of them.

The girl must not have been right in the head if she was already claiming Rouga to be the best Kage ever. Rouga may have been a good Kage to the village and it's people, but he certainly wasn't the best that there was to offer. The best would imply that he'd have given up his life in a last minute attempt to save his people. Only then, could he be considered great, but that time hadn't come. Yet. 
 Rouga continued to stare at the girl before following her actions and getting up to his feet, his golden eyes, shimmering in the sun's rays as they passed through the bubble that contained them all. The girl was interesting, to say the least. She had energy. Reminding Rouga of his younger self, back when he was a Genin of Amegakure.

Smiling, he stretched his arms over his head and up pointing to the sky, a small grunt of pleasure releasing from his lips as the arms fell back down to his sides. It was refreshing to see such spontaneous ninja in his village. That was sure to be an advantage for the people.

"Ah yes, you must be the recent addition to the force. Welcome, I'm Rouga Anemone of the Anemone clan. You already know this though. Just thought I'd introduce myself again."

He smiled, fixing his fringe before being startled by the thump of a body to his right, and a feeble 'Tadaa' in an attempt to lighten his embarrassment? Rouga's head turned ever so slightly to the right, his eyes dropping down to meet the gaze of yet another Genin. One that he'd read up on earlier that morning. Which was only approved once he had introduced himself after having apologized.
 Slapping the palm of his right hand to his face, Rouga moaned and sighed tiresomely; his eyes shutting along with his mind.

"Why does everyone feel the need to apologize to me?"

He said to himself before looking at the two.

"None of you did anything wrong. Except maybe Yana; for stealing my sweets, but that alone is nothing major."

He said, laughing at the end as he teased Yana about the sweets incident.

And it wasn't long till his attention was yet again stolen by, none other, Isao Sakebi; Rouga's life long friend and team mate.

"Isao! These are your two new squad members as of today!"

He smiled happily before running over to Isao and jumping, an attempt to tackle him to the ground with nothing but brute force and friendliness!

Today might be a good day.

OOC: Posting order goes: Rarda, Rouga, Tatsu and Isao. Next person to post is Rarda.

She giggled as he sighed, obviously annoyed. It was funny how quickly he went from angry, to happy, to annoyed, all in the same minute! She waved happily at who was apparently her new sensei, with a big silly smile on her face. This is going to be so much fun! I just came here to build a castle but I ended up meeting the kage and becoming his bestest friend! This is awesome! She giggled to herself before turning to her new teammate, and waving at him too. "Hi there! Im Rarda Yana! From the Yana clan! Want a piece of candy?" She offered the bag to him, smiling, but pulled it back quickly. "Sorry! I got my germs all over them..." Her eyes shifted around a bit, as she clutched the bag to her chest, still smiling to him. 

She looked over at the Kage tackling their new teacher, and laughed out loud at them, then waved at her teacher, who was, by the way, also attractive. She looked at Tatsu and giggled a bit, before waving at him again. "We're squadmates now! What are you good at?" She asked, curious of what he was able to do.

// OOC : I would have posted last night, but my internet decided to die and not come back to life. Sorry! >.<

Tatsu's face lit up and a smile stretched his way across his face. Could it be true? Did he finally get assigned to a team?! This was one of the happiest moments of his life, what could be better? He looked at the girl and at Isao. It had seemed he had been paired up with what he would call "a pretty cute girl and a bad ass ninja". The smile still on his face he sat down with his legs crossed thingking of all the adventures they would go on. Soon the girls voice brought him back to reality. "Hello Rarda im Tatsu" he said as he was about to accept a piece of candy. When she withdrew it he chuckled a bit "Germs don't concern me much" he continued. When she asked what he was good at he thought for a moment. "Well im pretty good at taijutsu and ninjutsu, and im pretty quick on my feet, what about you?" he said returning the smile. His eyes shifted for a moment to the Kage and the new captain, they had seemed to be very close friends from the look of it. He laughed again and turned his attention back towards the girl.

[Dont worry about it Rarda ^^ it was worth the wait]

Isao smiled as it was announced that he had a new squad. Maybe there two would become great shinobi for Denryugakure. He would tend to that subject later. His thought process was cut short by the sight of Rouga moving and jumping into the air to tackle him. Isao just sighed and lifted his arms for embrace. The kage's body crashed into his and they hit the floor. Isao couldn't help but laugh at the actions of his longtime friend. Regardless if his new squad was here, he would act the same as he always did. He eventually lifted Rouga and moved him off of his torso. He stood up and spit sand out of his mouth. "Nice to see you too Rouga." He said as his attention was specifically set on getting the sand off of his clothes. He continued to shake off his clothes and eventually got rid of all the sand.

"Mind introducing me to my squad formally?" He turned to his friend with a smile as the question escaped his lips.

Rarda smiled and waved at her teacher, becoming very excited as he looked at her and her new teammate, sizing them up no doubt for whatever they were able to do! She had forgotten to voice to her comrade her response to his question, instead just saying in her head. She didnt even notice that she hadnt said a word, it just happened. Alot.

The same thing happened when she tried to introduce herself to her sensei, waving her arms around and such as she was talking, in her head instead of outloud as she ment to do, but she started voicing her thoughts partway through a sentence, "-And then I fell out of the tree, and hit my head, and I STILL couldnt see anything, but that happens with your hair is always in your face! So, my daddy came up with this cool thing!" She pointed at her odd metal headband with the bangles hanging down. "It helps keep my hair out of my face, and makes me look mysterious!" She waited for a response, not realizing how much of the story everyone just missed out on.

Rouga flew straight into Isao which caused them both to flop to the ground. Despite the fact that Isao more or less gave way which would Allow Rouga to hold on to him until he was pushed off, Rouga felt pleased with his tackle. Getting to his feet, he brushed off any sand and/or dirt from his knees and chest as he looked at Isao as he requested a formal introduction.
 Sighing, Rouga cracked his knuckles and stepped between Isao and his newly appointed Squad members. Raising his arm up just past his hip level, Rouga placed his left hand on his hip.

"Isao, I would like to introduce you to your new team. Meet Rarda Yana and Tatsu Jurisako. Welcome to Squad 2!:

He smiled as he turned his gaze from Isao to the new Genin.

"I'm expecting great things from you two."

He smiled as he once again turned away from the two, only to walk up to Isao's side and whispering a few words.

"Isao. I want to see these two have a spar match with you and then between themeselves."

He simply said, giving Isao a single look before walking past him and away from the group. Rouga wanted to know just how well these two would fare in a team match and a single match. Not right away though, Isao would know this. Only when he felt right. Rouga just wanted to give him a heads up. It was now Isao's job to train them and protect them.

Summoning a clone, Rouga turned and looked at the clone as it stepped in front of him. Nodding, Rouga raised his arms over the clones shoulders, before the clone quickly grabbed both wrists and launching the kage through the air and up to his office; the clone dispersing after having done it's duty. Rouga smiled as he was sent into the air.

"Isao, you better put on a good show for me."

-Exit-

OOC: Sorry for the crappy post, too warm to think of anything.

Chakra = 285/300:

Tatsu couldn't understand much from the story but what he had heard was kind of interesting, he looked at the band on her head and the dangling things. "It looks very nice, your father did a good job. Is he some sort of craftsman?" he asked looking back at her with a smile. He then turned his attention back to the kage and what was is knew sensei apparently. He gave a slight bow and a smile to them. "I wont fail you" he thought to himself with a very determined demeanor The next moment suprise over came him when he saw the kage get launched into the air. "Whooa..." he said looking agog. "Thats awesome" he said still mystified.

Tatsu then walked over to Isao and bowed "My name is Tatsunamii Jurisako, but you can call me tatsu for short" he said. He looked back at the girl and waved her over so she could come introduce her self. Outside he had seem calm and collective but inside he was extremely excited that he had finally gotten placed in a team. "Squad 2...." he repeated quietly to himself. He smiled and spoke up "I like the sound of that..".

Isao smiled and nodded as the Kage of Denryugakure whispered a few short words to him before initiating a very flashy exit. Isao simply rolled his eyes at his comrade's antics, holding back a laugh. Rouga always did like to impress the young ninja. "I'm Sakebi, Isao. You can call me Isao." He said to the pair of young shinobi in front of him. "Nice to meet you Tatsu." Isao said politely to the boy with a smile. "After we are introduced, I would like for you two to tell me a little bit about yourselves. Specializations, Elements, and Goals should do for now." He stated simply as he waited for the young Genin to speak up. He was a Genin himself not too long ago, so he knew their position.

She giggled at Tatsu, and responded to him out loud, for a change. "He is an engineer! And a magician!" She smiled happily at the last part. She could never figure out how he did half the tricks he did, but she guessed he used genjutsu to do most of it, but she kept to herself.

She blinked as she saw the kage launch himself across the village, and let out a loud "WHOAH!" As he flew. She giggled at the amazing way he let himself leave the area, until her new sensei spoke up. She rushed over, almost falling again, but caught herself just in time, and stood up smiling happily.

"I'll go first! I'm Rarda Yana, and I've bee trained in genjutsu and medical ninjutsu! Uuuummm... I was told when I was young that my elements are fire and wind! And my goals are to cure things no one else knows how to, become the head medical expert of the village, AND to join the ranks of the ANBU Black Ops!" She announced loudly, and happily. She stood quiet a moment, thinking to herself before throwing her hands up in the air before starting again, "Oh! And I want to learn to swim without freaking out!" She smiled happily, ending her long speech.

Tatsu stood there with his hands in his pockets listening to his new teammate introduce her self, he chuckled a bit. "She certainly has a lot of energy" he thought to himself giving her a smile. When she mentioned her father was an engineer he had "Just as i thought" he said lowly to himself.

"Those are some pretty awesome skills Rarda, i bet you'll be a big help on the missions" he said cheerfully. He looked down at the sand a kicked it "Oh i guess its my turn now huh?" he said, a small grin growing over his face. He looked the captain in the house and began to speak.

"My name is Tatsunamii Jurisako, but tatsu for short" he stated again. "I am skilled in both ninjutsu and taijutsu and ironically ive discovered i have the natures of fire and lightning. As for my goals" he stopped for a moment. "This may sound silly but, i want to become the strongest ninja in this village! Maybe even make kage..." he said a bit softer.

"Well it's good to see that you both have goals. My specialties are Genjutsu and Kyujutsu. My elemental affinities are Raiton and Suiton." Isao said calmly as he observed the two's interactions with each other. They seemed as if they would be good students. At the very least they were teachable. "For now, I have to go. However, in the next few days you will recieve a notice of our next step as a team. Im still deciding on training or a mission. Ill keep you posted." He explained firmly as he waved . He then turned and sped down the sands of white as he headed for the Kage's office. It was time to do a plan for the future.
