Yaku hesitated as he noticed out of the corner of his eye, the two genins below turn. "Thanks alot Hiromi," Yaku muttered, but the small canine only gave him an indignant yap as she jumped up onto his head. "What do you mean it was my fault? It was YOU who was barking..." he said as he slipped the small message away in his pocket. The two continued to bicker as to exactly who's fault it was they had been found out, but really, it was mostly because, in an attempt to further himself from the heat from Sorien during the spar, Yaku had been foolish in choosing which tree to jump to, and had positioned himself conveniently right in their view.
It didn't take long though, for Yaku to make a clean route down to the ground from the obstacle ourse that was the trees and within a moment, and he had all but landed right in front of the two other genin. Ok, not RIGHT in front of them, a few yards away really, but he soon walked over to them, his trademark, cocky but friendly grin on his face and he waved in greeting, "Hi!"

Masato stood up, trying not to look too tired, and nodded semi-weakly to the newcomer. "You're an Inuzuka, you look to be about our level, and you're here at this time, so I take it you got one of the scrolls also?"

<OOC: Good, all together now. Now we can get down to bidness ^^>
He watched as the two who had been sparring picked up the messages and read them. As they did, he saw that the one in hiding made his pressence noticed.
He was positive that none of them could see him, as he'd used of few concealing techniques that even the Evil Eye of the Hyuuga could not penetrate. Now, at a greater distance, he felt quite certain neither of the Inuzuka's noses could pick him up.
He saw their eyes moving over the tiny print of the origami messages, remembering what was written:
(Insert name here), you have been chosen to form a three man team in Konoha, as per your previous meeting notices. However, you shall not be alone...
Walk towards the memorial and prepare yourselves.
'till then, ^_~
He watched and waited, wondering what their next move would be. It was time to see if Kaori-sama was right about them after all.

"Well, you're a sharp one, ne?" Yaku said good naturedly with a grin. Shrugging, he held out his hand to shake, "The name's Yaku, and this is Hiromi." he added on, just as the small black dog gave out a friendly yap, her tail wagging as she looked at the two new genin standing before them. Now that he was actually speaking with his two new teammates, Yaku's interests had once more, returned to them, and actually, quite forgetfully of him, away from the small message tucked away in his pants pocket.

"Heya Yaku, m' names Sorien. So. You're the other team member then" Sorien confirmed. "But...I don't quite understand the message...did you get the same? We have been chosen for a team for Konoha. But we won't be alone. Go to the memorial..." Its a little cryptic." Sorien mulled it over his minda a few times over. "Maybe...we get a sensei or...Ahh. Not worth thinking about. We're so close to the memorial now. I guess...'prepare yourselves' sounds rather ominous though don't you think?" Sorien continued on. He felt like he was dominating the conversation, or just speaking his mind a little too openly, and he should let the others have some time for thought too. "So. What next?" He simply put.

"Well, first I introduce myself." Masato managed weakly, now leaning on his sword again. He reached into a pouch on his belt and pulled out a small packet that looked like a tea bag. Popping it in his mouth, he moved it to his cheek, and within moments he seemed at least mildy more alert. "Ahh, that's a little better. My name is Hyuuga Masato. How long were you watching us?" He asked curiously, wondering if the other person, who was obviously an Inuzuka, had seen the whole sparring match. Now standing on his own easily, more through force of will than any recuperation, he unwrapped the cloth on the bottom of the sheath, and carefully inspected the beautiful weapon for any damage. Noticing none, he carefully slipped the sheath through the special loop on the back of his belt and waited for his new teammate to reply.

To Sorien's question, Yaku only shrugged, "Eh, don't worry about it." he said, seemingly not very concerned with how important the note might have been at all. "Whatever happens it going to happen, but it's ok now because we're a team." he said as Hiromi gave a small bark as though agreeing ( or simply letting the other two boys that since they were now stuck with her own, then that obviously meant they were stuck with her as well). At Masato's question, however, he gave him a knowing look as he crossed his arms over his chest, "Just long enough to see what I needed." he said with a smile that almost could have been called a smirk. But it was gone quickly as he muttered,"And it doesn't matter anyway. Hopefully the day won't ever come when I'll ever actually have the need to fight against either of you."

"And it doesn't matter anyway. Hopefully the day won't ever come when I'll ever actually have the need to fight against either of you.". Sorien listened to Yaku. "Well, I would like to train against you too. Not neccesarily fight. But to learn your capabilities, and where I can depend on you. You see, I now know, that I can trust Masato on how things look, with his eyes. That way we function more efficiently as a team. So that one day it will go without saying who needs to do what, when." Sorien concured.
Sorien went back to silence, his mind still lingering on the note. "No, I think, given that we are a team, we need to walk as a team toward the memorial. Without delay. I don't fancy keeping the planner of this elaborate idea waiting. However I'm a little concerned with Masatos condition, given that comment...Prepare yourselves." he repeated for the second time. "I'm fine, you've got fresh legs, Yaku...Are we ready?" He prompted action.

Yaku raised an eyebrow at what Sorien explained about them working as a team, looking almost confused, but as Hiromi glanced up at him and gave a small bark, it seemed to dawn on him and he nodded in agreement. "Got it." he answered, figuring the older boy knew what he was talking about. Yaku didn't really work too well when it came to planning ahead, he was more a spur of the moment kind of person, but he figured now, since they were on a team, changing one's fighting styles was pretty much a given.
At Sorien's question he noddd, "Yup, as always I'm ready to go," casting a quick glance at Masato first, he started toward their destination, "Well, come on then. No reason to wait as you just said."

"Well, come on then. No reason to wait as you just said." Following closely behind Yaku, he wondered aloud, "What do you all think? Is this our sensei playin a prank on us, a test, a trap, what?" He shrugged and waited for the others to reply

Yaku looked thoughtful. Actually, it was sort of humorous, for both he and Hiromi shared the same look of thinking as they pondered over this new question. After a few second of mulling his thoughts over, the Inuzuka finally shrugged, grinning over at Masato, "I dunno." he answered, "But these things are cool," he said as he brought out the origami messenger, "I can only hope it's joke. Who'd want a stuffy sensei?"

The two lads followed Sorien, his destination: The memorial. They were already close, and Sorien was listening to the conversation taking part behind him. "What do you all think? Is this our sensei playin a prank on us, a test, a trap, what?"
"I don't know what this is, I can only assume that it is a test. However, should this be a plan to kill fresh genin, from the enemy, we must be prepared. Therefore, Masato, draw your sword, Yaku, Kunai at the ready. We are almost there."
They made it to the memorial. No one was there to greet them yet. "Be prepared for ANYTHING" Sorien said. "In fact, back to back I think" He said, encouraging his new team to form a small circle.

As they had begun to walk and Yaku listened to Sorien talk, he had sort of registered that Sorien was walking ahead of him. It didn't take long for Yaku to pick up his pace, though he didn't really acknowledge he was doing so. Even though, he didn't slow until he was walking at least a tad bit before everyone else.
He didn't seem to be that tense at all, and as they stopped before the memorial, Sorien warning them to be on their gaurd, Yaku didn't move at all. "Aw, don't worry about it," Yaku said with a grin and with his thumb, pointed to his nose, "You got me with you now, I'd be able to sniff out anything we didn't want coming at us in plenty of enough time for us to be ready. Not to mention Hiromi, and she can hear anything up to a mile away." His voice was in it's usual cockines, slightly show-offy mood, though his tone was in good nature and it was obvious he meant no offense.

"You got me with you now, I'd be able to sniff out anything we didn't want coming at us in plenty of enough time for us to be ready. Not to mention Hiromi, and she can hear anything up to a mile away." Sorien heard this comment, his hands tensed so much they went white. "Listen. Have you never heard of such a thing as genjutsu?" He said trying to regulate his retort. "We could be all under genjutsu now. That affects even smell and hearing alright! Now, I'm glad you have such talents being on our team. But can you please take a little more caution." He said, going a little red with his discipline.
"Sorry for sounding like the grandfather here...but we have to have a united front. I take it you haven't been a genin long Yaku?" He asked, his voice losing its anger.

Yaku had tensed at Sorien's sudden change in tone and instantly become a bit gaurded as well. Noticing her master's change in attitude, Hiromi growled just slightly, but as Yaku forced away his emotions, she instantly quieted down as well. "I'm not stupid Sorien." Yaku finally said, but his voice was calm and collected, no longer loud or boisterous. He paused for a moment, looking as though he was biting back another comment, but the thoughts were racing through his mind and he ordered himself not to blow it. "You don't know much about me, and I don't know much about you, so how's about not jumping to conclusions?" was all he finally let pass. He didn't say anything more, and while he hadn't risen his voice once, it was obvious his feelings may have been a bit tiffed. Casting a glance to Masato, he then turned and crouched down, his back facing the two others as his sharp eyes flickered elsewhere. 'Well, he said back to back didn't he?' he thought to himself, almost as an excuse. His canine pal sniffed her master once, before her ears flipped back, and with a small whine, she turned her wet black eyes on Sorien.
