"Well, some people don't wanna come home after a mission like that and have it end right there, I guess," Tatsuya suggested with a shrug. "Especially when the concert's whole purpose is to welcome us home. So you worked on the posters, did you?" "So you have," Zyu agreed. She'd have to keep an eye on this kid. But she didn't want to make herself look like an interrogator - so when she spoke, she made her voice take on a more interested tone, relaxing into a posture that accented what curves she had. "I like talking to people who've done a lot of traveling," she told him with a smile. "What's your name, anyways?"

"True, true. And yes, that I did." Smiling with just a touch of pride, he continued. "I guess you are not familiar with the Hitsuatsu name, but we are artists by trade, though some like myself persue careers as shinobi as well. Ninjartists, you could say." " Ichiyuumaihi!" He stated with a proud grin, noting her change in posture and tone. Likes travellers, does she? Things are looking preeetty good right now.. " Yours?"

"Oh, I've heard the name," Tatsuya explained, "but usually the Tensei like doing things like that for each other, so I'd just assumed it was a Tensei who'd done it. That's all." "Zyu," the ANBU told the youngster. "You can call me Zyu. Sooo, you new in town?"

Hotaka hadn't said much, at least, not since Ryuurei had asked him a remeniscent question. He didn't even really say much when Izumi and Tatsuya showed up, the latter eagerly greeting his cousin. They all conversed around him, making introductions and the like. He started to feel like the fifth wheel, which only made him wish they'd get the concert started already. Not that anyone would be able to tell how he was feeling. He listened to the conversation with a relaxed smile on his face, his expression never once hinting at his lonliness. Well, complaining would be a bother to the others, wouldn't it?

Having finally fended off Tatsuya's enthusiastic greetings, Shinako was finally able to rejoin the conversation - and couldn't help but notice that Taka-niisan hadn't said anything in awhile. Fearing that it'd get him down, Shinako reached over and gave her cousin a quick hug. Maybe that would cheer him up a little.

Hotaka blinked when, seemingly out of nowhere, Shinako reached over to give him a quick hug. He smiled, hugging her back just as quickly. He wasn't sure how she'd suspected that he could have used one, but he hoped no one else had. "Man," he sighed impatiently, wanting to get the attention as far from himself as possible, "they're taking long enough, aren't they?"

"Truly. Although, as they say, good things come to those who wait." Responding with a wink, Ryuurei was quite glad to see Hotaka rejoining the conversation. It saved him from having to devise a way to pull him back in. " Yeahh..Only been here a couple days. Interesting place. Deciding whether or not I feel like sticking around, y'know?" Popping his knuckles one by one, he shifted his weight to the other foot. " Lot of comotion earlier today, and now a concert. Somethin' big goin' on?"

Kohana shuffled along through the busy streets of Konoha towards the Yanagawa Clan grounds, her heavy bags flung over her shoulders. It felt so good to be home again! The trip had been amazing, but she had had enough of it by the time they had set off again. Coming to the entrance of the Clan grounds, the young Yanagawa paused to take a look at a poster that had been displayed nearby. She raised her eyebrows, a bright smile spreading across her face as she read. Crimson Phase was performing a Welcome Home concert for everyone that had been away on the Sand mission! She was definitely going to that! Readjusting the straps of her luggage on her shoulders, she hurried into the grounds and towards home to get ready. Upon entering the house, she quickly removed her sandals and made her way to her bedroom where she discarded her bags, then commenced primping herself. After a quick shower, she began rummaging through her closet until she found the perfect outfit. Several minutes later, she found it - a long and fitted dark purple top with a scoop neck, a pair of black skinny pants with dark purple accents, and her favorite pair of black, peep-toe wedges with gold lightning bolt accents. She would bother with accessories once she had reapplied her make up. She quickly got dressed and stood in front of the mirror as she draped a long black-beaded and gold hoop necklace around her neck, pulled on a pair of fingerless fishnet gloves, and pushed the matching bangles to her necklace onto her wrists, but the look wasn't complete just yet. Reaching into a nearby drawer, she pulled out a set of deep purple hair extensions and quickly, but carefully put them in. Now the look was complete. Turning on her heels, Kohana made her way out of her room, out the front door, and headed for the Tensei Clan grounds. Upon approaching the grounds, she made it known she was there for the concert, then hurried to the cafe. Glancing around the crowd gathered in front, she wondered if she'd see anyone familiar.

"A bunch of people just got back from an important mission," Zyu said simply, figuring that since he'd learn what it was all about soon enough anyways, there wasn't much need to forward too much information. "So one of the local bands is having a welcome home concert." Despite being in such close proximity to other people, Hoshiko let out a delighted squeal when she spotted yet another familiar face surface from the crowd. "Kohana-chan!" she shouted, standing on tiptoe to wave her cousin over. "Over here! Kohana-chaaaan!"

" Ahhh....must've been one hell of a mission to need that many people...s'pose s'not really summin' you should be talkin' about with me though." Another shift of his weight, he was obviously not a man of great patience. " So, Zyu, what else is there to do for fun around this joint?"

Kohana looked around excitedly at the sound of her name being called and saw her cousin Hoshiko waving at her above the crowd. “Hoshiko-chan!” she answered, waving back at her. Putting her hand back down, she began navigating her way through the group of people to get to her. Pushing her way through one last clique of villagers, she came face to face with her cousin. "Hey! So you decided to come to the concert, too, I see." She smirked. "I love your top!"

Hotaka snorted a little, grinning at Ryuu. "Good things," he scoffed, "if you're not dead before they get to you!" Punching his former teammate playfully in the arm, he added, "Don't you know me well enough, my dear bishounen, to know that waiting isn't my strong point?" And there it was, again, the ever-tapping foot. To those who knew Hotaka well enough, it would have been a sign that everything was alright again, even if most people would interpret it as rude impatience. Nada jumped as Hoshiko rather suddenly started shouting. She followed the other woman's gaze and smiled upon seeing Kohana, waving as the genin made her way over to all of them. She waited as the cousins conversed, content enough. Nada had no trouble enjoying the happiness of others in silence; when they wanted to talk to her, they would, and she was perfectly satisfied to wait until then. Although, she was really beginning to wonder how much longer they would have to stand outside.

Ryuurei stuck his tongue out as he recoiled in mock pain at the playful jab. "I know you very well, Twinkletoes, but I am not your 'dear' anything, despite what some of our fans would hope." He had never really understood that aspect of the 'fangirl' mindset..but such knowledge had regretably proved useful in previous missions. tap tap tap tap It seemed like Hotaka's emotional rhythm had been restored. But his comrade had been right about the wait. "Hmm...perhaps I will go inquire about the event in question, hm? Pardon me, Taka-kun, Shinako-chan." Utilizing his natural grace and aqueous movement, as well as ample charm, he glided through the masses. A rogue stream of setting sun's ephemeral rays set ablaze golden silk in such a fashion that the artist's aesthetic eyes were drawn like lightning to a rod. Drifting over without a moment's thought, it seemed as if the young lady was watching two friends...Yanagawas if he wasn't mistaken, and it was hard to be mistaken in their case..converse from 'outside', and thus seemed fairly unoccupied. "Excuse me, miss..forgive me if I am intruding, but you would not have happened to of heard anything of the concert, would you?" Ryuurei inquired in as smooth a fashion imaginable so as not to startle her were she lost in thought as people in such situations tend to be. "My friends and I have become rather curious, as many have, I'm sure."

"Fun?" Zyu asked. "Well, there's the Hot Springs District, plenty of restaurants, there's some shopping.... You have to remember, though. This is a Shinobi village, not a tourist trap. These guys we're going to see in a few minutes are probably as flashy as it gets around here. But, well, I'll let you judge for yourself whether or not it's enough." "Thanks!" Hoshiko said with a grin. "Hiroki and his twerp friends were going through my stuff when I got home, but they managed to find this. Good thing, too; I'd been looking for it for weeks! And you, my dear, look quite snazzy too! Especially with those extensions - very chic!" She was interrupted, though, when a man - one of those good-looking ones who knew darn well just how handsome they were, Hoshiko couldn't help thinking - interrupted, asking about the concert. She just shrugged in response to his question. "They should be opening up pretty soon," she said thoughtfully. "They're probably just having problems with the sound checks or something like that. And it's bad form to let guests in when you're still doing that kind of stuff, you know."

" Yeah, I guess that's a good point there, but I could give a care less about shopping and crap like that. I suppose being a shinobi village means there should be plenty of good fighters around. THAT's my kind of fun...But eh, I'll figure something out. Just startin' a fight with someone ain't too good of an idea..mebbe there's some place to spar.." Ichiyuumaihi shrugged. He was probably rambling far too much for his companion anyway. ' So...what kinda stuff d'you like to do for fun Zyu? Since this is a shinobi village, s'that mean you're a kunoichi?"
