Where Minako lives and where you can get good tea. The family Kaki Terto- Mother, tea maker and waitress Juro Terto- Father, tea maker and waiter Minako Terto- first born, ninja, tea maker, and waitress( currently gone for most of the day) Ninoru Terto- Second born, tea maker, and waitress Yu Terto- Oldest brother, third born, waiter, herb gatherer Hi Yin Terto- Fourth born, waitress, herb gatherer Wei Rin Terto- fifth born, waitress, herb gatherer (When Minako was younger (without the bow) and an only child, training with her father.) ___________________________________________________ Minako rushed back to her house carrying her scroll and the assignment Kaji sensai had given her in her head. She rushed to her front door and opened it. As usual her family was busy running the tea shop. People sat at low to the ground tables and sat on thin pillows, as someone came around to serve them the tea they ordered. Minako quickly rushed to the back room, quietly saying hello to her mother, father, sisters and brother, before she went out to the large herb garden in the backyard where herbs grew to make the tea. Minak streched herself out under her favorite willow and unfurled the scroll, looking at the characters with a slight frown on her face, she was thinking hard. There would be plenty of space in the garden for Minako to practice without harming any of the plants. Luckily her family understood she was busy and didn't bother her.

Minako had completely unwrapped the entire scroll. She lay on the ground gliding her fingers over the characters, memorizing the handsigns and instructions on the scroll. On one side of the room, Minako had placed an apple as a test subject. In her hand Minako took a quick drink of a tea that would boost your chakra levels, like an energy drink. Concentrating on the apple, Minako preformed the correct hand signs, and waited. A shadow slipped out of the blue chakra flowing from her body. The shadow headed straight for the apple, wrapping itself around it. Once the apple was covered the shadow took Minako with it. Inside Minako realized she was in the illusion of another dimension with the apple. Minako knew she could use this time to attack the apple since it wouldn't be able to see her, instead Minako nodded her head in approval. A whole hour of work paid off, she finally could perform this jutsu at a small level. Deep down Minako knew it would use much more chakra on a person, who is bigger, smarter, and thinks and breathes, unlike the apple. However Minako was too proud of herself to let this bother her. She performed the correct hand signals to cause the illusion to end. Minako nodded again. 'In order for mr to do this on a larger scale I'll have to increase my chakra levels.' Minako thought. 'Since I have the jutsu down, I think know I'll practice on my chakra.' Minako had to hurry she only had about three hours left.

Minako returned home. As she walked through the low-hanging drape that covered only half of the entrance, she stretched her arms up and yawned. Though she had eaten her fill of ramen, she was still tired. Minako was relieved to see that everything had already been cleaned up. She was about to make her way to the back room, where she would go out to sleep in the garden, when her brother popped out in front of her.
"Scared you didn't I?" He smiled triumphantly. Minako usually was hard on her siblings, since usually they didn't bother her. She was proud that her brother could sneak up on her like that.
"Good job Yu, I'm a bit tired, so I can't really hang around right now." Minako yawned, ignoring the look of dissappointment on Yu's face. "Don't worry Yu, I'll tell you a story tomorrow or something." Yu still didn't look satifsfied.
"But what if you're not here tomorrow?"
"Then whenever I get back, I promise." Minako said. "Now I'm really tired, so I'm going to bed."
"Okay I'll go tell, Hi Yin and Wei Rin!" Yu exclaimed happily. Minako just smiled as she watched him go. Then she made way to the garden, where she pulled out her mat and sheets. Spreading them out under her willow tree, she quickly fell asleep.

Morning light woke Minako. She folded up her mat and sheets before she yawned and stretched. She rubbed her eyes and stood up. The tiredness and soreness from the previous day had vanished, Minako was feeling much better. She walked into the room her family ate in and sat down at a seat. Her family had already been awake, and by the looks of things for quite some time. Her mom and dad were fully dressed and getting the shop ready for customers. Wei Rin and Hi Yin were chasing eachother around in their kimono robes. Yu was eating his breakfast and Ninoru was putting her hair up for the work day. Minako sighed as she took an apple from the basket of food, and ate it. 'I don't have training today, so I might as well help today.' Minako thought as she finished off her apple. Then she walked into the dressing room, where she found her blue kimono robe, that she wore for work. Minako put the dress on and tied it back. Usually she didn't wear socks or shoes, but today she wore her ninja sandals, just in case she had to go somewhere quick. Minako then proceeded to pull her hair up into a bun, leaving two stands of hair to fall on her face. When Minako was done, she went out to help with arranging the tables and getting teapots and herbs ready.

(Just marking time with Anko until a certain someone posts and we finish with Team Enishi's first day of training... La la la...)
Anko stared out the window, idly stirring a cup of tea with one hand. Between Chuunin exams, there was so little to do that was worthwhile, and what tasks she had been assigned made her want to spit. The nerve of that Councilwoman. What were they thinking? An idiotic task even if HE came back. She rolled her eyes, laughing bitterly to herself.
Oh, well. At least it was something to do. The Juunin shrugged on her coat over her bodyglove and left the half-empty cup behind.

Komori stared down at her green tea. The kids had been getting more restless, she wondered, while quietly chewing a piece of pocky.
[glow=blue,2,300]'...My life is the same day after the next...I don't even have a team yet, and if these kids don't stop pulling me around everywhere i'm going on a vacation...'[/glow]
She took a sip of tea and reached down into her bag to get out another piece of pocky.
(It's short deal with it lol...)

Hiro Tashugi stepped into the tea house. He tilted his head up to get a whiff of all the tea smells. A smile graced his features as he took in the scents. He dug into his jounin jacket's pocket and pulled out a few well scrubbed stones. Spotting another jounin he walked over. "You are a jounin here as well are you not?" He grinned. "Care to see a magic trick?" Hiro loved magic tricks ever since he was little. Hiro flipped his blond hair away from his sky blue eyes and continued to stare at her. "Hope you dont mind if I join you" He asked and ordered tradtional green tea.

Komori almost dropped her pocky on the floor when the other jounin came over. A smile spread across her lips "Yes I am...Well if you can call me one, but, sure i'd love to," She put her bag back onto the floor and stared into the Hiro's eyes.
[glow=blue,2,300]'...Wow, his eyes are beautiful...He's almost a grown, mature Naruto...I'm surprised I haven't seen him around before...'[/glow]
She snapped back to reality, blushing slightly for staring at him. "Sorry, and no you can join." She watched him, bringing her tea slowly up to her lips, and the clatter of the room seemed to drone out.

Hiro smiled gratefully and seated himself down across from her. "Watch carefully now." He set the stones on the table and put his hands behind his back. "I'm gonna do this behind my back allright?" He winked and began to make hand movements behind his back making it impossible for her to notice. Quickly he muttered words under his breath that only he could hear. With a grin he looked back at her. "Ta-da!" The pebbles flew up in the air twirled about then zoomed towards her. "Whoops" He laughed and leaned forward catching the stones. "Well, it isn't really magic. But I'm sure you'll forgive me for it. Names Hiro Tashugi"

Kimori leaned back slightly as the stones came toward her and smiled, making the corners of her metal red eyes crinkle. "Aigyou Komori, for all your healing needs," She did a series of hand signs under the table and made the stones shake inside Hiro's hands "or other things also." She pulled out a piece of pocky, offering one to Hiro, and stirred it in her tea. "So, Hiro, any other magic tricks?" She said, teasing slightly.

Feeling the stones move in his hand Hiro let smile grow onto his face. He let an amused laugh go. Swiftly he put the stones back into his jacket pocket. "I see I'm not the only earth jutsu user here" He leaned back and clapped his hands together. "A healing and earth using nin? Very impressive Miss Komori-chan" He let a eyebrow raise and he nodded gently. "Yes, as a matter of fact I have many tricks. How bout a card trick?" He pulled out a deck of cards. "Here, you can make sure I didn't rig them" Looking at the pocky he bowed his head once more. "Thank you." He took it with his free hand and shoved it in his mouth so part of it stuck out like a toothpick. "Here" He slid the deck over to her

"Some of the kids at the hospital call me Mother Earth," She laughed softly "Can't beat that nick name..." Komori pushed her tea aside and picked up the deck of cards. She flipped through the deck quickly, nodded, and set them back down in front of him "Atleast you don't cheat, but go ahead." She said smiling, putting her chin in her hands.

"Mother Earth eh? Intresting nickname. Can't say I have one." He gently laughed and shook his head. "Pick a card, shuffle the deck then give it back to me" He shoved the deck back to her. "Don't tell me the card. I'll close my eyes while you do this." Slowly Hiro shut his eyes. "Look I'll even do this blindfolded. He pulled his head band over his shut eyes.

Komori giggled when he put his headband over his eyes. She hadn't giggled since she was a kid. She picked up the deck, picked out a card and laying it on the table, and shuffled the deck. "Alright, got it." She handed him back the deck and leaned back in her chair, holding her card.
(Bah...I'm really brain dead today T-T)

He fanned out the cards on the table. Swiftly he let one hand sweep over the cards. The childlike smile dissapeared and a frown took its place. Grunting he ran his hand one last time back over the cards. Hiro swept the deck back up neatly and shoved them to the side. He began to pout and crossed his arms. "No fair. You're still holding the card"
