Nada stood by patiently listening to the Hokage's words. Terror epitomized her feelings then, but she kept the same serene expression on her face. Example, she thought firmly. Behave in an examplory way....
"As you know, you four will now be working together as a team." Nada caught a slight emphasis on the word team. Well, Kaori had hit on one thing. If there was anything the quartet was not at the moment, it was a team.
"Right, then. You won't have a mission today," Nadameru nodded slowly in understanding as Hokage continued, "but you aren't dismissed. Isn't that right, Nada?"
Nadameru caught the meaningful look she was being given by her former sensei. It instilled a little more courage in her, but there was still a lingering doubt. She smiled at Kaori gratefully.
"Yes," she said, amazed that her voice was completely controlled and even, as she turned to the trio. "Today... we're going to get to know each other a little better."

Maz listened to every word that was said. We've got to work as a team. We'll be spending a lot of time together. Work hard, get along.
Yeah, I suppose I can handle that. Probably.
Maz nodded at Kaori - he understood, but whether he liked it or not was a different story.
"You won't have a mission today... but you aren't dismissed. Isn't that right, Nada?"
Nada... did they know--
"Yes. Today, we're going to get to know each other a little better."
Maz looked at Iro and Kohana. Yeah, I suppose that's fair. He wasn't particularly looking forward to getting close to Kohana, though - she might tell that ANBU everything she knows about Maz to him. He didn't like other people meddling in his business. Made him feel less secure.
He turned back to Nadameru. "What have you got in mind?"

"As you know, you four will now be working together as a team." Hokage-sama said to the group now gathered in her office. I guess I can deal with this, I guess this can just give me some time to prove myself to everyone. "Right, then. You won't have a mission today, but you aren't dismissed. Isn't that right, Nada?
Iro turned to his new sensei, puzzled over what that last comment meant.
"Yes. Today, we're going to get to know each other a little better" Nada-sensei replied.
Well, this could get interesting Iro thought to himself. If I can survive this, then the rest should be all downhill.

Mazrakiel turned to Nada. "What have you got in mind?"
She thought about that for a second or two. Inspiration hit her rather suddenly and she had to strive not to allow an amused smile to cross her face. Shooting Kaori a grin and a wink, she crossed her arms.
"Oh, I have a little something planned," she said, masking her mischievous glee. The plan was a little risky, but it could work. "You'll just have to wait and find out, though."

"Oh, I have a little something planned," Nadameru-sensei said with a grin, "You'll just have to wait and find out, though."
Iro looked at his new sensei puzzled by her latest comment.
I'm kinda scared about what that meant... Iro thought to himself worriedly.

"Today... we're going to get to know each other a little better."
Kohana perked up. YES! This is gonna be so awesome! I wonder what she has planned?
"What have you got in mind?" Maz asked.
"Oh, I have a little something planned," Nada-sensei said. "You'll just have to wait and find out, though."
Kohana was beaming. She was rather excited to see what sensei had planned. Glancing at Iro, she could tell he was quite uncomfortable, and Maz...Well...He just wasn't happy altogether...Just being a stick-in-the-mud.
Kohana fidgeted excitedly. "Oooh, I can't wait, Nada-sensei!" she squealed, prancing in place. Embarrassment washed over her. No one else seemed to be as excited as she was...Wow, this was awkward. "Aw, come on!" she whined. "Where's your enthusiasm?" Continuing to feel out of place, she sunk back and plopped down into a chair, biting her bottom lip. This certainly wasn't the way she had expected to start off with her new team and sensei...

Kohana's smiling face was reassuring to Nada. Her enthusiasm might very well keep her sane. She hoped it would eventually rub off on the other two genin, but the jounin wasn't holding her breath.
"Oooh, I can't wait, Nada-sensei!" Kohana squealed, prancing in place.
Nada couldn't help but grin. The other two met Kohana's excitement rather drolly, showing about as much enthusiasm as a rock. Growing indignant, Kohana whined at her team mates, demanding to know where their enthusiasm was.
Nada shot a sympathetic look at Kohana as she sank back into her chair unhappily. It pained the jounin to see her new student feeling like an outcast, especially when she was immensely thankful for the girl's upbeat attitude.
Iro almost looked pale. She glanced between the three genin. What did they think she was going to do, cook them and eat them?

"Oooh, I can't wait, Nada-sensei" Kohana-san said with a squel. She began to dance in place. Iro couldn't help but chuckle to himself, she was as excited about this entire event as Iro was this morning.
"Aw, come on!" Kohana said as the enthusiam began to dissapear from her voice, "Where's your enthusiasm?"
Iro felt guilty as Kohana plopped back down onto one of the chairs.
"So Sensei, what do you have planned for us? I'm kind of excited myself now that I'm thinking about it. Don't keep us waiting!"

Why was everyone so enthused? We didn't even know what we were going to do. Maz looked unimpressed, and hid the lower part of his face behind his hands, as if he didn't care, or didn't take notice - in fact, were he several years older, he would've looked just like Gendo Ikari in his trademark pose.
Although mildly curious as to what he had planned... he just wanted out of the whole thing. She'd probably make them do self-introductions or something. Great, he thought to himself. If I had to.
He sighed quietly to himself. He diverted his gaze to Kaori, as if to say "I wish I had a hangover."

Iro could tell Maz was dreading this activity. He prolly doesn't want to have anything to do with a cripple like me.
"C'mon, lighten up a little!" Iro said as he lightly jabbed Maz in the side, "stop being such a bore, and have some fun." Iro beam widely. He needed to get some kind of reaction out of this kid...
"So sensei?"

Nada chose to ignore Mazrakiel's negativity. It annoyed her that he was so vastly opposed to the situation. She had given him a good deal of leeway for that initial shock, but he was about to drag his attitude to the point of being ludicrous.
Instead, she turned to Iro, since he had asked her a question. Actually, she had been somewhat preoccupied, as it seemed he had had to repeat the question. She just shook her head.
"You just can't stand not knowing, can you?" she quiered with a smirk. "Well, Hokage?" the jounin turned slightly. "By your leave...."

Kaori nodded. "Good luck, everyone." It seems like you'll need it.
"Ah, Nada!" She called just as the three Genin were stepping out of the room. "Are you planning something similar to what we did?" She knew Nada would know what it meant, and she had a good idea that it was in fact what would happen today. If she was correct, she would have a very interesting report to read at the end of the day.

"C'mon, lighten up a little! Stop being such a bore and have some fun." Iro poked him in the side.
Maz jerked back in reaction. Physical contact's a no-no at this point. Aiee.
Nadameru turned to Hokage. "Well, Hokage? By your leave..."
So we were off, were we? Yeah, sure, I guess.
"Good luck everyone," said Hokage.
Maz nodded, stood up, and walked to the door. He stood aside and waited for the other Genin to exit before him, and then made his exit behind them.
Yeah, he was gonna hang back for a bit. And observe. That was his plan.

After a short exchange, all three genin, and their new sensei were up and on their way out of the door.
Finally, I have a chance to prove myself to that stuck up Adarkis.

Nada began to follow the three genin out the door, but was stopped by Hokage. She turned, looking questioningly at her former sensei.
"Are you planning something similar to what we did?" Kaori asked.
Nada grinned mischievously in answer. Waving, she headed out the door after her students. The group walked outside, where the students waited for directions from their sensei.
Deciding the time for ambiguity was over, she turned to the trio, a grin on her face. "Our little activity just requires one simple question. Answer that and we're good to go for the whole day." She paused momentarily, allowing them to hang in suspense, savoring ... well, two out of three anxious expressions.
The question was deliberately anticlimactic.
"What's your favorite food?"
