The clock struck twelve, and Ichi was hungry. The genin had yet to eat lunch, but decided that a small snack would suffice until he was to return home. There were plenty of snack houses that sold sweets in Kirigakures market district, the only trick was to find them. The fog was covering up the signs of the buildings, so it was puzzling as to which store was which. While living inside the village for quite awhile, he still wasn't quite used to the mist that surrounded the area. It was useful, however, if a hostile ninja was to enter and became lost in the mist. So perhaps it was for defensive purposes. Ichi entered one of the market buildings, and to his surprise it was a sweet shop. He could tell by the cakes, chocolate, and various other candies that were on display. He walked up to the counter, where a cashier was standing. “How may I help you?” The man spoke, in a dull tone. The genin imagined what it would be like to stand in front of a counter all day, every day, repeating the same line over and over when people approached him. Much less exciting compared to how the ninja live. “I would like a slice of yellow cake with chocolate frosting, please.” He said politely, with a smile on his face. The cashier nodded and bent down, taking out a full cake and cutting out a piece and putting it on a stack plates. He then removed the top plate - the one that held the cake - and put on the side. He put the rest of the cake back on display, and placed a plastic fork on the side. “That would be twenty-two ryo.” Ichi put his hands in his pocket, and took out a few coins. He placed exactly twenty-two of them on the table, and the cashier nodded. He took his cake off the counter and sat at a table in the sweet shop.

“Father would probably kill me for spoiling by lunch, but I'm a sucker for cake.” He spoke softly to himself, not wanting anybody else in the area to think he was crazy by talking aloud to himself. He dug his fork into his cake, removing a small chunk of the sponge and eating it. It was the perfect treat, so Ichi resumed eating it. However, while he was enjoying his snack, he wished that something exciting would happen. Anything, really.

The mist was thick, there was no doubt about that and the absence of sun was the main instigator for this. Ahora loved the sun and enjoyed its warmth which she could assume to be the case as she was originally from Konohagakure no Sato, or the Land of Fire. The sun provided heat and it was apparent that Ahora enjoyed the heat, as was evident with her use of the Katon - Fire Element. Not too many people knew of her original residence within the Land of Fire and she too doesn't remember nor acknowledge favorably of her original inhabitance. She was from the Land of Fire, but she was for every reason a Kirigakure Shinobi. She was one of the higher ranking shinobi and more importantly she was the main aid to the Mizukage, Arashii Nakamaru. As a result of her aid-ship to the Mizukage she was given a ton more leniency then almost any other ninja in the village and as a result she was allowed a lot more freedom. Like, say for example, to enjoy a piece of dessert peacefully at a table of her favorite place.

However, Ahora had completed her slice of Creme Brulee with apparent ease and a waiter had taken her meal away, leaving her sitting casually by her lonesome. What would seem to be a casual and relaxing meal had the potential to change when she noticed a young pre-pubescent genin walk through the door. Ahora glanced around quickly and noticed that all other tables were occupied, including hers. However, Ahora was in the mood to meet with a new shinobi and to surprise one at the same time. As a result, Ahora casually performed 4 handseals underneath the table and virtually turned invisible, sitting as still as possible so as not to disrupt her technique. To anyone and everyone, Ahora was nowhere to be seen, including the Genin which casually walked over and decided to sit on the same table she sat opposite too.

Ahora listened and watched this genin closely noting what he had to say, “Father would probably kill me for spoiling by lunch, but I'm a sucker for cake.” Ahora chuckled, relinquishing the technique at the same time and leaning across the table while she responded in an enlightened tone, "Well, you wouldn't want to dissatisfy your father now would you? If he can indeed kill you and is willing too because you have spoiled your lunch, he seems like the type of person you wouldn't want to dissatisfy at all." Ahora paused, smiling widely before continuing, "Anywho, I'm Ahora Sousakara, Jounin of the Hidden Mist. Nice to meet you." she offered her hand to be shaken by the genin on the other side of the table. Her approach to this new meeting would allow her to completely analyze the ninja before her.

Well, Ichi got his wish - something exiting happened. However, he wasn't expecting it, and he jumped out of his seat. All he could do was stare at the female opposite of him as she spoke.

Quote :: "Well, you wouldn't want to dissatisfy your father now would you? If he can indeed kill you and is willing too because you have spoiled your lunch, he seems like the type of person you wouldn't want to dissatisfy at all."

“Er... Well...” Ichi was speechless, completely lost for words. How long had Ahora been sitting across from him? More importantly, what was he going to say? He didn't know how to act in a situation like this, which was probably a bad thing. He extended his hand out to hers to shake them right after she offered hers. Despite startling him, she seemed like a nice kunoichi to be friends with. “My name's Bel, Kaguya Bel. It's nice to meet you too, Ahora-Chan.” He lied about his name, but he has been telling people a different name for a long time now. It was a habit to say his name was Bel, and to him it was. The only person who didn't call him Bel was his father, but that was understandable. He just hoped that the jounin couldn't see through his lie. Whilst waiting for a response from Ahora, he began to ponder some more about how he couldn't figure out that someone was there. Literally right in front of him. Had she been there all along? Did she somehow get passed him undetected? Ichi then thought about the rank difference, so anything was possible. While him, being somewhat new to the world of shinobi a jounin could remain undetected from someone like that. That was his hypothesis. However, this plain guess wasn't satisfying enough for him - he needed to know the answer that his cranium couldn't figure out. “If you don't mind my asking, how did you get in the seat across from me?” As much as he wanted to figure out this ‘puzzle’ on his own, his curiosity demanded that he knew. As much as it hurt his pride, his curios side got the better of him.

“My name's Bel, Kaguya Bel. It's nice to meet you too, Ahora-Chan.” The name didn't strike her as being familiar; which was strange as Ahora had always made it a habit of hers to read up on every single ninja biography within the village. Even though she wasn't obliged too as she wasn't Mizukage, she found it better to know what kind of a diversity the village she belonged too had; whether that be in the form of the different ranks of ninja, their different skill specialties but in particular the Clans everyone belonged too and their Kekkei Genkai's. Kirigakure liked to know their enemy and anyone had the potential to be an enemy which basically meant that a file could be found on absolutely anything to do with being a ninja. This basically meant she had already read up on the Kaguya clan and any shinobi belonging to that particular clan which belonged to the Hidden Mist Village. If he was a Kaguya like he said he was, Ahora would know the name Bel and it simply did not compute at all in her amazing memory banks. This meant two things, either he was lying about being a Kaguya or he was lying about being named Bel. She couldn't so easily as discover the latter, but the former may be a little more simpler to discover.

The two had released hands and neither his handshake nor his appearance suggested he was a Kaguya. Thankfully for Ahora on the other hand, Bel decided it'd be best to inquire first, “If you don't mind my asking, how did you get in the seat across from me?”. To this Ahora simply smirked, "If you really are from the bloodline of the Kaguya then you will acknowledge the strength of other clans and their many abilities. I too am from a clan and they have allowed me with the ability to appear before you in this current situation. If you really want to learn how, then you'll grace me with the presence of some of your secret clan techniques, I want to see your most basic technique if you will." Ahora's request was simple and the genin shouldn't have a problem with abiding by it especially if his curiosity was as great as was suggested. Ahora too was curious at the likes of the Kaguya and more then ever she wanted to know why this boy would want to like to her face. Didn't he know who she was?

She sat there, arms folded gracefully over each other resting casually atop the table. She wore her casual white-cream colored one-piece, her ninja hitae-ate around her waist, her hair was a neutral brown and her eyes too. To her vision, she could not distinguish color as perfectly without her doujutsu being activated, which she was more then prepared to do if the genin revealed his bloodline...

He pulled his hand back as they let go of their handshake. As a response to the question he asked, Ahora wanted proof of him belonging to the Kaguya clan. Was she doubting him? He nodded and stood up, then held up his hand that was closest to the wall, pointing his fingertips at the wall. He kept somewhat of a distance from the wall and his fingertips from being too close, to ensure that the jounin was able to see what he was about to do. "Pay close attention to my fingertips, Ahora-San." He spoke while focusing closely on the technique he was about to perform. It was the most basic technique he could think of, the first one his father had taught him after telling him about his Kekkei Genkai. While outside of his body, he would look no different. On the inside, however, the bones that were near the tips of his long fingers were preparing for the jutsu he was about to use. Drilling Finger Bullets! He said in his mind, not to give away the jutsu he was going to be using. The bones in his fingertips launched at the wall, out from his skin. They removed from his body at quite a fast rate, as they were always regenerating. Ichi halted the firing after a short while, and lazily brought his hand back down next to his sides. He took a deep breath and smiled. “Is that proof enough, Ahora-Sama?” The others in the area were staring at them, and the result of the bullets drilling into the wall. They had made a small indent on the wall, although he wasn't actually trying to do damage to the shop. The genin sat back down in his seat very casually, almost like nothing had just happened. “The most basic technique I can think of - Drilling Finger Bullets. I'm sure you're familiar with it, no? Now then, about you're bloodline extent...” His tone was showing his impatience of this bloodline technique that she used to ‘appear’ in front of him. He wasn't asking to see it anymore, he was demanding to see it.
