Time passed, the desert air cooled, and the sun sank lower and lower towards the horizon. Before long it had descended from view, and dusk had fallen over Hidden Sand Village. Paper lanterns hung unlit next to booths and outside buildings along the village's main road, brightly colored decorations fluttering softly in anticipation of the excitement to come. The festival itself would not begin until Kazekage-sama gave the word, but already people from both Leaf and Sand were beginning to gather, dressed in their colorful festival attire, milling about and meeting up with friends and teammates while awaiting the opening ceremonies.
Not many people had yet gathered when three Kunoichi, colorfully dressed, made their way from the Crescent Moon Inn to the center of the Village, giggling all the while.
"We're almost there!" cheered one, a brown-haired girl clad in green and pink. "I can't wait!" Another, clad all in blue, nodded her agreement. "It will be fun, won't it?" she asked. "I wonder if there will be fireworks?" exclaimed the first. "What do you think, Kohana-chan?"

Kohana gazed around, taking in the sights and sounds of the Sand Village. She could barely contain her excitement! Giggling, she answered her roommate's question. "I don't know! I sure hope so! I love fireworks! Ooooooh, I can't WAIT!" she squealed. "This is going to be so much fun!"

"It is, it is!" chirped Shinako, but whatever she was about to say next was cut off by Izumi. "Look," the blue-haired shinobi was saying, "there are some more Konoha shinobi!"

Nadameru wandered away from the Crescent Moon Inn and toward the festival area with her two roommates, Miyuki and Hoshiko, admiring the decorations that had been set up. Though the festivities had yet to begin, she found herself excited simply from the anticipation of the fun that was to come.
She was feeling more relaxed than she had in a very long time, or than she had allowed herself to feel. It had begun as she had gotten to know her two new friends, and seemed as if it would persist as the trip to the Sand Village carried on. It felt good to unwind a little, especially after recent events.
Spotting a group of kunoichi ahead, she squinted to see if it was anyone she knew. A bright smile lit her face as she realized it was Kohana. Lifting her hand, she waved to the genin.
"Hi, Kohana-chan!" she called out.

"Kohana-chaaaaaaaan!" Hoshiko called out as though echoing Nadameru. "Over here, over here!" * * * * * Izumi couldn't help but laugh fondly at the energetic callings after her roommate. "Friends of yours, Kohana-chan?" she asked. "Or perhaps relatives?" It seemed to Izumi that the latter was more likely to be true, at least with two of them, who - despite looking totally different from one another, in a way - bore a remarkable resemblance to her new friend, right down to the purple markings on their eyes. It must be a clan trait of some kind, she thought. "Oooh," Shinako cheered, interrupting the calmer kunoichi's train of thought. "You simply must introduce us!"

Kohana spun around to see who was calling her name.
"Friends of yours, Kohana-chan?" Izumi asked. "Or perhaps relatives?"
"Oooh," bubbly Shinako chimed in. "You simply must introduce us!"
"Hi, Nada-sensei! Hoshiko-chaaaaaan!!!!" she squealed, waving back at them, hopping excitedly in her place. "And is that Miyuki? Aaaaah! Miyuki!"
Miyuki just smiled at her little cousin's enthusiasm. "Hey," she said, calmly waving back to Kohana.
Kohana turned back to her roommates. "This my sensei," she motioned towards Nadameru. "And these are my cousins Hoshiko and Miyuki!"

"I'm Tensei Shinako," the brown-haired Kunoichi said politely as she bowed. "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu."
"And my name is Akihara Izumi," the blue-haired ninja continued. "Yoroshiku."
"Hiya!" Hoshiko chimed, waving to her cousin's companions. "I'm Yanagawa Hoshiko, and it's a pleasure to meetcha! If you're friends with Kohana-chan, then maybe we can be friends too!" she finished with a grin.

Miyuki stepped up next to Hoshiko as she spoke. "And I'm Yanagawa Miyuki," she said as she bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you both!"
Kohana smiled brightly, letting out a tiny yip of excitment as she rocked back and forth on her heels. Everyone was getting along so well! This was going to be an amazing night!

Nada smiled as the introductions were made.
"Nice to meet both of you," she said with a polite bow.

"So what do you gals wanna do at the festival?" Asked Hoshiko happily, bouncing up and down in the street as they walked. "Are there any boys you all wanna see, or any foods you wanna eat?"

"I wanna get some cotton candy! I haven't had any in forever!" Kohana chirped happily. "I wonder when Aijou, Haruki and Ryuji will get here? Hmm... Ryuji's the only one I haven't seen in a kimono... or really anything traditional. I wonder what's he's going to be wearing?" She felt a slight heat rising in her cheeks as she began to wonder.
Miyuki spoke up from the back of the group, her voice low and calm. "I'm with Kohana-chan. I want some cotton candy. As far as "boys" go, I don't want to see any in the matter to which you are hinting at Hoshiko-chan." She paused for a moment then continued again, changing her tone to sound somewhat sultry. "What about you Nadameru-san?"

"Cotton candy sounds great," Nada agreed.
She blinked in surprise as Miyuki addressed her, and her eyes grew wide at the question. She had promised not to say anything! Now Nada was going to have to either lie or divulge her secret to the group of girls, most of whom she had only just met. Her expression giving away that she felt slightly betrayed by her new friend, the jounin half-pouted before responding.
"Don't you already know the answer to that, Miyuki-san?" she asked.

"Ooooh!" Shinako gasped. "Is he handsome? OW!" The last part was directed at Izumi, who had elbowed her in the side.
((OoC: Sorry it's not much, just continuing the thread. ^^; ))

Miyuki, wanting to set straight the predicament she had just put her new friend in, spoke up. "It's nothing, Shinako. I was just picking on her," she began. "I apologize, Nadameru-san. I just couldn't help myself!"

"Don't worry about it," Nada replied with a small smile, waving her hand dismissively. Looking around, she wondered if anyone else she knew would be attending the festival.
