Moegi wondered about why they had to meet in the classroom. His team had already passed the test that Ebi-sensei gave them. The Konohako Corps proved that they worked well together. The return to the Academy made it seem as if their efforts did not matter.Moegi really missed their teamwork

[captainkonohako]

There was a clatter and Konohako rushed in, long scarf trailing behind her and cheeks flushed from her run. Seeing no obvious teacher, she gave a cheery grin and stepped in, freely slamming the door behind her as she did so.

"Moe-kun!" the girl squealed and hugged the boy enthusiastically - she was always happy to see him nowadays. Moegi-kun almost never changed, the one constant in her life she could count on.

Konohako turned and leaned her head to the side. "..." Well this was just wierd. Someone as old as Uchiha Sachiko being paired with her and Moe-kun? This wasn't going to be fun - how was she going to manage the older girl to take place in the usual pranks and fun (on and off missions)?

Why'd Udoko-chan have to be so darn smart? It just wasn't fair. But, this was her lot and Konohako was determined to be friendly and happy.

"Hello, Uchiha-san." she said politely, but still stayed next to Moe-kun. Even that horribly stuck up Hyuga Hana-bit would have been better really - at least Konohako was sure she could kick his ass.

Sachiko's faintly annoyed (aka her usual) expression didn't change. Outwardly. Internally, she was agog in sheer disbelief that Tsurude had decided to make her work with Naruko's little groupies. The boy--Moegi?--wasn't so bad; he could have a level head, but Konohako reminded her way too much of how Naruko had been at that age: hyperactive and loud and irritating.

Oh, this was going to be so much fun. Why them? she wondered. Surely there had to be other genin in the village she could work with to get ready for the exam. So why these two?

Annoyance aside, she still acknowledged the pair of them with a nod. "Moegi. Konohako." She looked at them and gave a small, internal sigh though again her expression remained constant. "If we're going to be teamed together, you may as well go ahead and call me by my given name."

She wondered who the jounin-sensei would be. Though, given her teammates, she was justifiably tense as it could be anybody.

[captainkonohako]

There was silence after Sachiko's acknowledgement. Konohako glanced at Moegi out of the corner of her eye, waiting for him to say something - he was the one supposedly good with girls right?

...Nothing.

It was quiet. Too quiet. Konohako's habitual need for noise to break her boredom began to take over, as her sandaled foot began to tap erractically. She glanced around the classroom and then the clock above the door and nearly growled. Only a few minutes had passed.

She balanced on the balls of her feet, then back down and up again, stifling the urge to hum or...

"So why are you here? Aren't you too old for this?" Unfortuanately, stifling humming meant that blurting out the wrong questions was a go. Konohako didn't even wince however; she was curious and getting vaguely annoyed with Sachiko's expression.

Moegi returned Konohako's hug just as enthusiastically as she gave it. When Sachiko told them to call her by her given named that seemed to only add tension. Moegi wasn't sure of what to say. He knew that none of his techniques would work on Sachiko(not that there were ever as effective as he thought they were). He doubted that he could get away with calling her "onee-san". Naruko-neechan and Sakurai-niisan were probably going to be amused by this current teamup.

"She's still a genin like us and we've been without a sensei for far too long," Moegi said. "Do you have any idea of who our new sensei will be, Sachiko-san?"

[redeyedavenger]

"Not a one," Sachiko answered Moegi while giving gave Konohako a sharp glare at the 'too old' comment. There were plenty of genin her age - this was about the time most people took their first or second chuunin exam. "And I've seen older genin. At my first chuunin exam, there was a middle-aged woman with glasses taking the written portion of the test. She didn't make it through Forest of Death." She never did hear what happened to the lady, but then other things were going on that demanded considerable attention.

[Moegi-mun, when you reply, could you click "reply to this" instead of posting a new comment? It'll make reading less disjointed. :) Thanks!]

[tentsuke]

"Hi there, I'm Tentsuke but you can call me sensei...No, that's not right. Yo! I'm... a total loser

[redeyedavenger]

Sachiko looked up when the door opened again, surprised to see Tentsuke there. She thought perhaps he had come to relay the message that their sensei was late, and then...

Now she stared. He was their sensei? True, she couldn't say she minded too much as he had been helping her with throwing weapons, but at the same time... He must have only just passed the jounin exam. Was Konoha so stretched for jounin-sensei to give them to a fresh-cut rookie jounin?

...looks like. Great.

She uncrossed her arms from where they had been folded up over her chest. "Since there's been no one else in this room, I think it would be safe to say you've been upgraded from 'sempai' to 'sensei'."

Well, if nothing else, this would be quite interesting. And hopefully Tentsuke being her sensei instead of just sempai this go-round wouldn't mean a package deal with Hyuuga.
