Akihara Izumi and Tensei Shinako made their way through the streets of Hidden Sand after the last of their envelopes had been passed out. Izumi was navigating with the help of included directions, and Shinako was being her usual bouncy self.
"I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun!" she half-sang as she skipped along.
"Let's see..." Izumi murmured. "Turn left at the bookstore, walk two blocks... Shinako? Are you listening?"
No response. Except more singing.
"Shinako? Hey, Shinako! Oiii, Shina-chan!" Izumi continued, finally bopping her friend on the head with the directions.
"What is it, Izumi-chan?" the brunette asked innocently.
"Pay attention. We're almost there."
"I know!" replied Shinako confidently. "Turn left at the bookstore, walk two blocks, take the next right. Within the next few blocks, we should see the Crescent Moon Inn on the right-hand side."
Izumi couldn't help but laugh. The girl acted like a ditz at times, but she was really quite intelligent.
The pair reached the Crescent Moon Inn without further incident, and soon both had their room keys in hand and were heading up the stairs with their things.
"Top floor, all the way down, right?" asked Shinako.
Izumi nodded. "Room 412, the Okami-san1 said. Goodness, but this is alot of walking."
"I don't mind!" hummed Shinako happily. "The corner rooms are always the best!"
"I suppose that's true..." Izumi pondered as she knocked on the door. "Anyone home?" she called out. Someone poked their head out of the room next door - another Leaf Shinobi, of course - but upon seeing the call wasn't for her room, she went back inside and shut the door after a quick wave.
"I guess not...." mourned Shinako. "I was hoping she'd be here by now!"
"Maybe she just stepped out," suggested Izumi as she unlocked and opened the heavy door. "Come on, let's go in."
The two girls entered and found it empty - almost. There in the room were someone's things, so obviously someone had arrived already. It seemed Izumi had been right.
Further examination of the room itself promised a comfortable stay for the rest of the night. There were closets for all their things, conveniently - and aesthetically - hidden behind sliding doors. Wide windows offered a beautiful panoramic view of the Sand Village, and of the Inn's gardens below. There were low chairs at a similarly low table, and they could see the space where their futon would be laid out by attendants later that night.
"I guess she'll be back soon..." murmured Shinako. "Until then, let's put our things away and get settled in."
Izumi nodded. "That sounds like a good plan."
Taking off their shoes and entering the room, the two kunoichi began to get their things in order in their beautiful hotel room.
1Okami - The Landlady and Hostess of a traditional Japanese hotel.

Kohana trudged along, her bag flung back over her shoulder. It was heavier than she remembered, but then again, it was rather hot and that definitely wasn't making anything any easier. She continued along through the streets of Hidden Sand towards the place she had been assigned...the Crescent Moon Inn... She finally arrived and breathed a heavy sigh of relief as she approached the front desk to pick up her key.
Room 412...Top floor. Whimpering, she took in a deep breath and slowly, but surely made her way up the stairs to her assigned room. She arrived and stood in front of the door before unlocking it and entering in, without even knocking.
Seeing that it was empty, she shrugged. "I guess I'm the first one here... Atleast that gives me a few minutes to cool down."
She walked around the room, taking it all in. It seemed rather comfortable. Taking a glance out of the window, she spotted a small coffee shop about half a block from the inn. A wide grin spread across her face and she licked her lips before spinning around, grabbing her change purse and room key, then hurrying out the door.
~*~*~*~*~
Kohana finally stepped out of the shop, satisfied. Over her right wrist, dangled her change purse and a nice plump bag of pastries. She grasped her room key and a spoon in her hand. In her left, she held her favorite treat, half-lemon, half-grape flavored kakigōri*. She hadn't any for days, and craved it terribly. Now, she finally had her treat, and she was happy. She greedily dug in as she headed back to her room.
She finally arrived back at her room, anxious to find out if her roommates had gotten there yet. Sticking her spoon into her cup and opened the door, sure enough to find her two roommates there.
"OI! Hello there, my roomies!" she squealed, flashing a warm smile at the two ladies in the room.

The two girls hadn't unpacked very much when they heard someone enter the room.
"OI! Hello there, my roomies!" the voice said.
Shinako spun around grinning hugely, her long brown hair whipping around with the movement, and skipped up to meet the newcomer. "Hiya, roomie!" she chirped excitedly. "I'm Tensei Shinako! Hajimeshimashite!"

Hiya, roomie! one of the girls chimed as she scurried over to Kohana. I'm Tensei Shinako! Hajimeshimashite!
"I'm Yanagawa Kohana! It's so great to meet you!" she smiled and hurried over to the table to put her things down. "Oh, yeah! I went and splurged on some pastries for us to share! So help yourselves!" she said cheerfully, holding up the bag for her roommates to see. Glancing over at the other girl in the room, she spoke up. "What's your name?"

Izumi smiled. "I'm ---" she cut off as she heard a loud WHUMP from the room next door, followed by some insane giggling that quickly faded to silence again. Giving a strange glance in that direction, she shook her head and turned her attention back to her roomate. "I'm Akihara Izumi," she said politely, bowing elegantly. "Hajimeshimashite."

I'm --- she was interrupted by a loud thud and insane giggling from the next room over. Once all was quiet again, she continued. I'm Akihara Izumi. Hajimeshimashite.
Kohana grinned, shoveling another spoonful of her kakigōri into her mouth. When she swallowed, she spoke up again. "Wow, this is going to be soooooo much FUN!" She skipped in place a couple of times. "Yay for girl time!"

Shinako twirled, giggling. "Yes! Ours will be the best room of all!" Skipping over to the low chairs, she pulled one up to the table and sat down. "Come on, come on!" she cheered. "Let's get to know each other better!"

Yes! Ours will be the best room of all! Shinako giggled as she scurried over to the low chairs at the table and plopped down. Come on, come on! Let's get to know each other better!
"YEAH!" Kohana squealed, gladly following Shinako to the table. She seated herself into one of the chairs and leaned back, still slurping away at her treat.

Izumi laughed to herself as she pulled up a chair next to Yanagawa-san. This room certainly seemed like alot of fun.
"I'll go first!" Shinako was saying excitedly. "I'm 17 years old, a Chuunin - " she said this as she removed her flak jacket and tossed it unceremoniously across the room, sighing with relief as she did so - "That feels so much better! Anyways. Izumi-chan here is my teammate, as is Tatsuya-kun. You've probably seen him, if you didn't get your rooming assignment from either of us...."

Kohana watched as Izumi took the chair next to her, then turned her attention to the bubbly Shinako, who spoke up first.
I'll go first! she chirped. I'm 17 years old, a Chuunin - she said this as she took off her flak jacket and tossed it across the room. That feels so much better! Anyways. Izumi-chan here is my teammate, as is Tatsuya-kun. You've probably seen him, if you didn't get your rooming assignment from either of us....
Kohana smiled. "I'm 17, too...Except I'm a genin." Finishing up her treat, she continued. "My teammates are Maz and Iro...They're pretty cool guys, but it's good to be away from them for a bit." She chuckled and looked at Izumi. "How old are you, Izumi-chan?"

Izumi smiled slightly. It seemed her nickname was catching on. Though when the topic of age was brought up, she shifted uncomfortably. She had always been sensitive about being the 'baby' of her class.
"I'm... sixteen years old," she replied softly, hoping her true feelings didn't show through too much.

I'm... sixteen years old Izumi replied quietly.
Kohana, noticing that her roommate was a tad uncomfortable, smiled brightly. "That's cool!" She twisted her fingers around in the fabric of her skirt before speaking up again. "Soooo...What are your favorite things to do?"

Izumi thought for a moment before responding.
"Well," she said thoughtfully, "I enjoy reading, and doing quiet things like that. I also like spending time with my friends - even when they're not so quiet," she added with a wink in Shinako's direction, "and I love discovering new weapons to try and incorporate into my jutsu. Though..." she added, tapping the hilt of one of her katana with a wink, "you may have been able to guess that by now." Indeed, she was absolutely covered in equipment. A pair each of Katana, Wakizashi, and Tanto hung on her back; she sported a holster on each leg; and there were ninjutsu scrolls equipped wherever she could find an accessible place for them. It may have looked like overkill on the outside, but such was the equipment of a weapons specialist.

((OoC: Bump! ^^))
"I love lots of things!" Squeaked Shinako with a grin, as soon as Izumi had finished her sentence. "I love to sing, and dance, and play music.... what else..... reading is always fun... and eating! I love eating things like Chocolate and Dango!" She paused, realizing she didn't know what their new friend liked. "What do you like, Kohana-chan?" she asked happily.

Kohana sat quietly, her face beaming, as she listened intently to her new roomies talk about themselves.
Well Izumi began, I enjoy reading, and doing quiet things like that. I also like spending time with my friends - even when they're not so quiet, and I love discovering new weapons to try and incorporate into my jutsu. Though...you may have been able to guess that by now.
Kohana smiled at Izumi before turning her attention to Shinako, who squeaked out an answer. I love lots of things! I love to sing, and dance, and play music.... what else..... reading is always fun... and eating! I love eating things like Chocolate and Dango! She paused for a moment. What do you like, Kohana-chan?
"Me? Well..." She thought for a moment for before answering. "I like hanging out with my friends and my brother and his squad, and I like dancing, and having fun! Oh! And I love food! Especially ramen, tempura, and pastries and chocolate and kakigōri... So goood!" She blushed as her stomach grumbled. "Heh-heh. All this talk of food is making me hungry."
