Things had definitely taken an interesting turn, and Utsuro felt more and more like he was inside a hospital. NOT a pleasant feeling. The sudden arrival and subsequent departure of ..Utagawa..had been rather unexpected..and now he was being questioned about his family's medical history?
"..u.um..Not that I am aware of, Hokage-dono..my cousin Amuro was allergic to squash...but that's all that comes to mind."

"I see," was all Kaori said aloud, taking mental notes as they went. Indeed, it was all she had time to say - for at that precise moment, a sharp knock sounded at the door. Kaori didn't bother saying anything; she knew that knock, and she also knew that its owner did not need to be told to come in. The door opened, and in stepped a woman who, despite her tiny build, gave off an aura of authority almost as strongly as Kaori did. Even with the high heels she wore she barely stood at five feet tall, and her delicate build seemed even to Kaori's eyes better suited to a doll than a shinobi. Bright copper hair hung past her shoulders, complemented by her blue clothing. Emerald green eyes snapped straight to the visitor. "Hello, Akina," Kaori said warmly. "Tsutomegi-kun, meet my lieutenant, Tokoharu Akina. Akina, this is our guest, Tsutomegi Utsuro-kun."

Someone else had entered the room now, further adding to the confusion brewing in Utsuro's mind. She was of diminutive stature, but yet bore herself almost as impressively as the Hokage.
"Tsutomegi-kun, meet my lieutenant, Tokoharu Akina. Akina, this is our guest, Tsutomegi Utsuro-kun." A lieutenant? What did she need a lieutenant for? Was this the result of that message she sent out with Utagawa?
"..i..it is a pleasure to meet you, Tokoharu-sama.." Bowing his head since he was sitting, he found it rather difficult to raise it again. Surely he wasn't expected to look her in the eyes as well?
A hard lump welled up inside his throat. This did not bode well.

"Likewise," Akina responded simply, high heels clicking sharply on the floor as she moved into the room from her place by the door. Slipping two fingers under the boy's chin, she lifted his bowed head with a firm but gentle hand until his eyes met hers. "It's rude to avoid eye contact," she explained, removing her hand when she felt confident enough that he wouldn't simply lower his gaze again the minute she did so. "If you want to make a good impression, you shouldn't act ashamed of your very existance. Now then, I trust you've found Konoha's hospitality to your liking, yes?"

It took every ounce of his resolve not to flinch back when she raised his chin, and quiet apologies starting flowing out almost automatically. He stopped himself quickly however, when he realized she was questioning him.
"..it..has been..rather nice, yes....well...with the exception of that poor young man who needed my money.."

"Yes. Well. That has been taken care of," Akina assured him. "And it seems the medics at the hospital did their job quite nicely. You are feeling alright, then?"

This, at least, was easier to handle. "Yes, Tokoharu-sama, I feel fine." Why did they keep asking that, though? Did they know something he did not?

"So tell me, Tsutomegi-kun," Kaori interrupted in a warm, conversational tone, "aside from that unfortunate incident with the muggers, what have you been doing in Konoha during your stay here?"

Blinking, the sudden change in her tone and inqueries..pulled the rug from beneath him, so to speak. "..ah...um...not..much really...I spent most of my time walking about, familiarizing myself with the area....I helped out as best I could with repair work here and there...that's where the money the...mugger...wanted came from....I tried to refuse, but most of them insisted since I'm an outsider.....I don't see why, I'm not very skilled.."

"Yes. Well. Never mind that now," Kaori instructed as a knock sounded at the door. "It's all in the past, after all. Come in," she called, and in walked Miyoko, clad - strangely enough - in her full Jounin uniform. "Whaaaat?" she asked with a shrug in response to the looks she received from the two other women in the room. "I overslept today." Kaori cleared her throat, and the wild-looking Jounin continued. "So you finally got your meeting, eh, Utsuro-kun?" she asked with a casual grin. "How's it goin'?"

"Y..yes Miyoko-sama...thank you very much for all your assistance...I...would like to think...it is not going too horribly..but you would have to ask Hokage-dono about that.." Shifting nervously in his seat, the number of occupants in the room was already three over his comfort level.

"Well, you're still here, so that's a good sign," Miyoko answered as she moved to sit down on the edge of Kaori's desk. The Hokage cleared her throat, and Miyoko scooted back off. "Anyways, I see you're finally looking somewhere other then the floor!" she observed with a grin. "I'm glad to see we've got a little bit of confidence put back into you."

"...of course I am still here....I've nowhere else to go..." Shaking his head a little, he turned his attention to the latter portion of her statement. "..Hokage-dono and Tokoharu-sama insisted I maintain eye contact..that is all.."

"Is that all?" Miyoko asked, disappointed. "And here I was hoping the Konoha treatment had done some good...." ((OoC: Sorry it's so dinky; I just wanted to get something posted for you. ^^; ))

"...g..gomen Miyoko-sama....I am........not a very...confident person by nature....I've no real reason to be...."
