"Fight and be remembered as a hero, or die and be remembered as a coward." ╔══════════════════════════════╗ Theme Song of Kansuke Uchiha
『XXXXXTilting his head slightly Kansuke let his Crimson eyes focus entirely on the red-haired girl who's head he had his hand on. Giving an emotionless chuckle the Uchiha spoke, his deep voice rumbling deep within his chest. "Is that so? I'm afraid I don't know that. Too many people fall to their knees before me that it's just normal." Giving an empty smile Kansuke removed his hand from her head, allowing her to get up if she wished. "Perhaps next time you shouldn't attempt to steal from someone who's abilities you don't know hm?" 』™
Ceres slowly stood up and chuckled at the jounins words before standing up. As she stood she popped her wrist joint before crossing her arms behind her. "Perhaps I shouldn't... I'll remember that next time when I find someone of that caliber..." She spoke in a calm voice before shrugging and turning around. "Pickpocketing is a hobby more then anything... I have no use for what little money comes from people's pockets." With that she dropped one of her arms to the side and a large amount of coins and paper spilled out onto the ground around her feet. "I get paid a lot more for my targets.." At this point she wanted to see the jounin's reaction whether it be ignore her or cause a scene. Ether way she didn't care, she was simply bored of waiting for her next mark and this whole shinobi thing seemed to not be worth her time so far.
Eren, eyes still closed, is just about to nod off to sleep. Not much was happening, and no one seemed to have noticed that he had shown up. He didn't care much... okay that was a lie. Eren sighs and, just about to nod off to sleep, when the sound of metal hitting the ground reaches his ears. He opens a single eye and, eyebrow raised, his gaze is met by a girl standing in front of who appeared to be a friend of Izuki's. She seemed to have dropped some stuff? Well, whatever was happening, Izuki's friend and the girl didn't seem to be on the best of terms. Either way, deciding to do the rare nice thing, Eren pushes off of the wall to go help the girl pick her stuff up. Stopping next to her he looks into her hood to see that yes, she was indeed a girl. Even though she looked a bit like a girl, because her body was completely covered in that cloak it was a bit hard to tell. "Hey, you dropped some stuff. Need help picking it up?" Eren's gaze flicks over to Izuki, Maylee, and the other two people who were with them. He wondered when they would finally finish their talking so they could go on a mission already. If Eren had it his way, they would have gone on one long ago.
Ceres let out a small sigh as a guy walked over to her and asked if she needed help picking up all of the money she had dropped on the ground. "Whats the point? None of it was mine to begin with.." She muttered to the guy before moving up close to him, her eyes starring at him through the depths of her hood. Her arms moved up very close to him as if she was about to place a hand on his shoulder but stopped. She guessed that the Jounin would easily be able to notice what she had in her hand inside of the cloak since he was able to detect her pickpocketing him. Her arm lowered to the side before crossing in front of her with the other one. "Thanks for the offer... I guess.." She had a bad habit of killing people for looking inside of her hood but she would let this one go for now.
Eren sighs, and returns his attention to the girl in front of him. He hears the words "none of it was mine to begin with" and chuckles lightly, glancing back at the man next to them. "Of course. That explains explains everything," his eyes go back to the girl, and he is temporarily, but not visibly, shocked as she comes closer to him. Her hand comes closer to him, and his eyes flick down to the arm. He... wasn't used to physical contact. In fact, he wasn't used to any kind of contact with people at all yet. The girl's closeness was starting to make him rather uncomfortable. He refused to show that of course. His face covered in its usual emotionless mask, he simply shrugs at her words, "you are quite welcome."
Receiving the nasty look from Maylee, Jae smiled in response. It was a slow and laid back smile of hers that bordered her usual smirk. Nasty already? What a Brat... There was a reason that Jae had an aversion to hanging out with other females. Most were very jealous and vain divas. The moment you outshone them a cat fight ensued. Drama was not a part of her life nor did she easily accept it into her life. Maylee was Samuru's sister but Jae did not have to deal with the princess. She only had to put up with it. Whatever hopes Samuru had Jae had forewarned him not to place them with Jae. "Raktesu knows, Maylee Sanmittai~" Jae said aloud, her voice sing song despite the obvious insinuation displayed in Maylee's glare not to speak to her. Jae's gaze remained glued to the girl. Her expression was cool and unflinching. Slowly she turned her head to look at Samuru, her expression softening somewhat, a genuine look before she laughed hesitantly. "I forgot to tell you. I met Rakuin and Tetsu earlier. We sorta trained together for a bit."If by train you mean spar and if by spar you mean go for each others throats... Jae had preferred to meet that sibling on her own and was glad she had. It took great measure to figure out someone like Rakuin. His intentions had been made more than clear. Rubbing the base of her neck she looked a bit apologetic towards Samuru, however fleeting it was.
Approached by Izuki Jae's expression once again shifted. Izuki Nara. Fellow Jounin. She too had seen him around, although she hadn't paid much attention to the time and places. Mimicking his gesture, she placed her hands behind her back and smiled in return, looking innocent to boot. "Ohhh. Izuki pon. The honor is mine."Takes one to know one. He was just like her. False pretenses were easy to read through when you yourself put up such pretenses. That and Jae had an uncanny knack for seeing through people. "This is interesting news to hear. I didn't know that my squad was up for debate. Does this mean you are more capable of training Maylee Sanmittai?" Jae pouted slightly, scuffing the sole of her shoe on the ground. She dropped her gaze momentarily as she continued her charade. "Noctis is so mean...He never trusts me." Jae looked up from under her lashes, measuring the Nara. She didn't take kindly to those who worked behind the scenes against her. Not that Jae wanted to have Maylee on her squad. The pink haired kunoichi just understood how important it was to Samuru for them not to be separated.
Looking to the right she made a 'hmmm' noise, as if considering handing Maylee over to Izuki. Looking back to him her azure gaze met his own. "I think it's neat that siblings be put on the same team. It would be nice to keep such continuity in a team, especially when they compliment each other so well. It would be such a shame to separate them. Gomen Izuki pon, I think I would prefer it if Maylee stayed with her brothers." She looked over to Maylee, coaxing an eyebrow. "demo...if Maylee Sanmittai wants her freedom, I am not going to step in the way." Jae flashed her smile once again, seeming cordial. I already have Rakuin to deal with one less headache. Jae had never physically or mentally hurt the female Sanmittai triplet. Jae's only crime had been caring for and loving Samuru. If she was to be hated for it so be it. It was drama to allow it to bother her. Let the Sanmittai join another squad. It would weaken the resolve the siblings had based their pact on. It would make it that much more easy for her to try and change Rakuin's mind. I have to try... She thought to herself, looking to Samuru.

Maylee turned her head as Izuki came up to the group. Acknowledging Samuru and then Jae. Maylee looked at her brother when Izuki announced he had something to say before shifting her eyes to Izuki again. She lowered her eyebrows at Izuki. "Is that possible?" She asked before turning to Samuru as he spoke. Saying he didn't know if Rakuin knows. Saying he didn't know until after she ran back into the village when they returned. She eyes soften. I don't blame you then. Is what they said as they lightened a little. She tilted her head to where her ear touched her shoulder. Maylee kept her eyes on Samuru as he tiled his head and looked at her. She looked down and sighed. "Yeah~." Maylee looked up at a boy that was stalking around the group. She read eyes stayed on him for a moment before going back to the group chit chat. Then of all things, Jae opened her mouth. Maylee rolled her eyes. "I wasn't asking you." She said every heatedly towards her. She glared at Jae. "Don't talk so lightly of my brother, Ketsueki." She meant Rakuin of course. Maylee knew her brother well. If given the chance Raku would of killed her without a second thought. Jae was an outside to them. She already got her nasty little frostbitten hands around Samuru. Maylee watched her as she acknowledged Izuki, only to mock him. "Stop calling me by my full name." She breathed through her teeth. Was this a game to Jae? Or did she like playing with people's emotions to the point of turning them into mush. She scoffed at Jae's comment about Noctis being mean and not trusting her. "And exactly what makes you more qualified to train me?" She lowered her head a little. "Sure enough you've pried enough into Samuru's head to learn anything about Raku and I. I'm sure you probably know about the things I'm capable of." Her facial expression hardened as she spoke. She a snake! How fake can she get?! she thought as Jae turned her head to give it some thought as if considering something. Her eyes moved to Samuru. She'd love to get rid of me in a heartbeat and you know it. Her eyes told him. She looked back at Jae as she opened her mouth again. Declairing she found it neat that siblings be put on the same team. Maylee pressed her teeth together as she went on and on about her interest. And then she looked eyes with the Jounin. Maylee narrowed her eyes at Jae. What did this fake brawed know about 'freedom' or what Maylee wanted the most. That smile Jae gave possibly the most bogus things in existence. Maylee hated every inch of this woman. Driving a stake between us, you snow hag. Maylee tensed up as she stared at Jae as she looked at Samuru. Maylee looked at her brother. Can I speak with you....ALONE. Was what her eyes told him.
"Mess with my Onii-chans, and I will burn you alive."

Can't we just get going? Samuru thought, feeling the heat rise between the two women, his slightly mournful gaze landing on a new arrival with oddly purple/white hair. Turning his head, he looked away in time to see the interactions of a pickpocket and a man close to the group. Now he wanted even more to just be away from the group, even if it meant he had to leave May with the group "..." listening to Jae, Samuru just kept his gaze directed very clearly away from the girls. He didn't even respond to hearing that Raki and Jae had already had a confrontation. No, he wasn't blind. He knew that Raki would likely have been less then thrilled to see and then learn that Jae was their teacher. Her apologetic look only served to tell him that more then words had been exchanged. But it made him feel good that Jae was more for keeping the triplets together even if it meant more trouble for her in the long run. And trouble apparently in the very start of the run. He closed his eyes, feeling his stress begin to peak as May went at Jae Sweet mother... he felt her push and, unwillingly, locked eyes with Maylee "........" the pause was long, pointed and icy. Then, rolling his eyes, Samuru stepped forward and took Maylee by the upper arm "One second, please." he said to the group and pulled Maylee through the crowd and over to a building and a corner start of an alley. Once there, he released her arm and crossed his, turning so his mouth was masked "All right. What?" he sad, nearly hissing a whisper.

『 At the question of it being possible he nodded happily in response. Whenever Maylee would let her anger get the better of her, Izuki would turn to her and flap his hand about while he asked for her to calm down, there was no need for hostile actions at this moment, a big sweat drop looming over his head. "Now now Maylee-chan, come one. She means no harm~" Giving off an nervous chuckle his attention would return to that of Jae, still keeping up his little mask although he was sure she had caught on by now, but he wanted this to go over smoothly. "I never said that I was more capable than you, but if that is what you think then so be it. I didn't know she was on a squad till not long ago when I was speaking with Noctis. I simply wished for her to be added to mine, and that was when he informed me that she was placed within your squad, but changes could still be made." He would give off an innocent childish grin but would frown upon her next statement. "I wouldn't say that~ I think he just cares so much that.. yeah.. I don't know where I was going with that.." Izuki would give off an embarrassed chuckle. "I too think it is 'neat' for siblings to be on a team together, but it doesn't always work out. If anything, it ends up pushing them apart in the end for whatever reason that comes between them." He ignored her preference statement because he just spoke his feelings about it. At the mentioning of if it was what Maylee wanted, he nodded his head happily. From behind his back where his hands lay positioned, Izuki would signal Kansuke several things and what he disliked. 』™
† Maylee Sanmiitai † |Youngest Sanmiitai Triplet| + Suchīru nobi Akira + "The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire."
Maylee was pulled away and didn't fight as Samuru pulled her into an alley way away from everyone. She flicked her shoulder when Samuru let go, she fixed her shirt. She looked at Samuru when he hissed at her. "..." She closed her eyes and sighed. "Alright look," She stared off with, placing her hand against the arm Samuru grabbed. "I need my big brother...possible for the first time since....well..." She shrugged and then shook her head. "I need you to listen to me, Samuru." Maylee said, her voice softened. "I know we just started again being a family but...I...can't work with Jae." She closed her eyes and sighed. "There's something about her that I find none trusting." Maylee opened her eyes. "And I've never been wrong about a person, Samuru. You know that." She grabbed his hand. "You want me to make friends. Even though what we are planning will...possibly...take them from me." She squeezed his hand. "I'm going to stick to my part of our plans. But...as my brother. As the one that looked out for me during our childhood." She lowered her head. "Understand me for making this choice. I don't want to be near Jae." Maylee raised her head to him. "...Samuru...I love you...but...I can't." She should told him. "I'll just rebel against her until I die just to get away from her." She paused for a moment. She has you wrapped around her finger. Rakuin wil be more than enough for her to handle. She thought. "I'll work hard and rank up quickly as planned. I just want you to know...this might make me happy since our world crumbled years ago." She tilted her head slightly. Tears lining her lower eyelids. "Samuru...I want to try happiness again." She told him softly.
"Mess with my Onii-chans, and I will burn you alive."

Samuru heard her out, listened to her complaints then leaned in "If this is what you want, that's fine. I said it was up to you." then he pressed a finger to her collar bone, his anger showing through for the first time "You don't trust her because you don't know her. And yet you trust and are willing to go along with someone you just met?" he lifted his hand and gripped her chin, tightly, forcing her to look at him "Do not begrudge me my friend as you begin to make your own. You're not the only one who will be forced to leave people behind." his anger was positively gagging now, a thick emotion that would coat the link he shared with her as his temper, a temper not flared in over a year, surfaced like a bad dream. He let her chin go, ignoring her tears "You want me, as your big brother, to be there for you. Well, I am. But I expect something in return, Maylee." he turned, swallowing his anger and plastering a simple frown on his features "Don't judge me for finding happiness when you're after it too." this was said for all to hear as he moved back to Jae, stopping beside Jae but with his shoulder to the group, a cold shoulder of sorts. It wasn't really directed at the group...he just didn't want his sister to speak to him again. And besides.... He had nothing to say to the group now and even if he did, it would come out angry even if he didn't begrudge them taking his sister. Yes, he wanted his sister to be happy. But why did she have to belittle and insult the happiness he'd found just because she didn't like who he'd found it with?! His hands were tight in fists but he brought them up, crossing his arms across his chest as he fought to get himself under control.

"Anyways, I'm Eren Aburame. Hey, you look bored. How would you like to join us on a mission or two?" what was he doing? This was why Eren avoided talking to people. He always ended up saying stupid s**t like this! There was no reason the girl would have to come with them, and he hadn't even asked Izuki's permission, yet for some reason he was asking this girl to tag along with them. In his defense though, his attention was more on the drama over there with Maylee and the woman, whose attitude he wasn't liking right now. That was obvious because Eren's eyes were on it and not the girl in front of him. Sighing exasperatedly, he turns to the girl again. "Sorry, looks like a bunch of drama's happening. My offer still stands though. If you want to tag along you can. If not, well, then forget I asked," with a shrug of his shoulders, Eren turns around and walks back towards Izuki. He wanted to talk to the guy about something anyways. Coming to a stop beside the older Jounin and completely ignoring the woman he was talking to, he looks up at him and asks, "so, I take it we'll be doing introductions again with the new girl?"

Coaxing an eyebrow she watched Maylee as the girl snapped at her. It was unjustified, Jae was purposefully poking at the girl to get a proper read of her. Just like he had done to Rakuin. She was reacting irrationally and was being as venemous as the first time she had been when Jae had met Samuru. A year had passed and absolutely nothing had changed. To be unchanged for a whole year...Jae pitied the female triplet. Not allowing her pity to show on her features she looked to the right, up at the sky as if searching for something while Maylee told her to not take her brother lightly. Oh, trust me. I haven't been. Not that Maylee would know. She had been sulking for a year. At the questioning of her qualifications Jae met Maylee's gaze straight on. "Qualifications don't come from matching up teachers to squads assigned on papers and stats. I wouldn't know unless I tried. " Her gaze was serious in that instance as Maylee continued to acuse her of manipulating Samuru. It hadnt been until earlier that she had learned about their circumstance. "Not that it is any of your buisness but I haven't pried into his head. If Samuru wants to tell me something he tells me, if not he doesnt. I'm not a magician Sanmittai. " She responded, continuing to smile. Jae was livid at this point. She had tried to be cordial but she couldn't mend something she had no idea how to fix and no idea where to even start.
Watching as the siblings moved off somewhere out of ear shot, Jae looked to Izuki. Her blue eyed gaze was icy despite her calm expression. He talks too much. She almost laughed aloud at his last bit. He has no idea who these kids are. Nor does he know anything about them. Their cicrumstances would keep them glued together. Tragedy would strengthen their bond where no other thing possibly could. "It's nice that you are so connected to your student...however. Do not over step your bounds. Coincidence does not exsit in this world...and it was not appreciated." Jae said, warning the Nara. She would not sit on her hands the next time and would deal with him accordingly.
Looking away from Izuki as another shinobi approached him she considered this conversation over and done with. Now waiting for Samuru to come back, she immediately recognized his expression, after hearing his last outburst even from where she stood. He didn't turn to look at the group and kept his back to them. As he crossed his arms over his chest Jae faltered. Her worry slipped through her calm exterior and she reached out to touch his arm but pulled back, crossing her hands behind her back. She's made her choice."Let her go. You can't force the impossible." Glancing back at the group she flashed them a buisness like smile and waved. "Well. It's been decided. Ja ne." Jae didn't look to see who acknowledged her, Jae's attention specifically on Samuru now. "Time to train...lets go." She told him, wanting to remove him from this atmosphere before her exploded on someone or worse, his sister.
Retribution...this is not my goal. No, I care not for soaking the world in violence. There has been enough of that.
| | |
Samuru looked at Jae for a moment, his expression quietly asking her not to. As she said it was decided and left, he glanced once at the man who was now his sister's teacher "Don't hurt my sister." he said finally, deciding that it was better to just leave it that and then he too pushed through the crowd, following Jae without a word to May.

Maylee listened, unflinching when he pressed a finger to her collar bone. Anger raising in him. He wasn't understanding why she didn't trust Jae. It was when he grabbing her chin tightly forcing her to look at him. She hissed at how tight his grip was. Fear slowly took over in her eyes as he spoke. She grabbed his wrist as she felt his grip tighten more as his temper flared. Her tears turned to ones of fear as he released her chin. Maylee let go of his hand and grasped her chin as it throbbed. She looked at him when he said he except something in return. Maylee stood a distance away rubbing one side of her jaw as Samuru walked away. She watched as he stood next to Jae, still rubbing her jaw. Fear works two ways, Samuru. She thought as she looked away from him as he left with Jae. why can't you see...Jae was the one that tore us apart. Maylee thought as she held her cheek. "I hate her." She breathed under her breath. And what she has done to us. She thought before lowering her hand. If Raku doesn't kill her...I'll make her suffer with every breath she takes. Maylee walked over to Izuki. She raised her eyes to him. Her jaw read from Samuru's grip. "I've chose to be on your team."
"Mess with my Onii-chans, and I will burn you alive."
