Mister Manabu smiled, maybe not all these Shinobi were worthless insults like his daughter.
Shigeo growled and opened his mouth to argue back, but Kenji stepped between the two and nodded to Master Manabu. "If that's all the information we need, we should ready ourselves."

Gosan sneered "Im always ready" and stalked out of the room
Once Gosan had gone, Fei whistled softly "Someone should find somewhere to keep their bo-staff other than up their-" he cut off when he remembered who was around, and feigned a cough

"Hmm." Master Manabu raised an elderly eyebrow at him, then directed their attention to the shadowy corner of the room where someone was stirring. "Well, since Gosan left early, he won't have the privilege of meeting your new team mate."
A pair of boots could be heard on the floor and out of the darkness a curvaceous kunoichi emerged. Her long purple hair was tied back and a dark shawl covered her upper body and the lower half of her face. Her eyes were the brightest thing that stood out, they were blood red.

"Santa Maria" Fei whispered and crossed himself instinctively as years of his fathers influence kicked in, out of sheer shock

"Since it will be your first mission for some of you, we thought it would be wise to seek help from a specialist." Master Manabu explained. "This is Katsumi Itou. She will accompany you, at least for a while. Are there any problems before I let you all go?"

Fei raised his had again "Are you a demon?"

Katsumi raised an unfriendly eyebrow at him and didn't bother with a reply.
"I can assure you, despite her temperament... She is human." Manabu nodded.

"Then...her eyes...whyy?" Feis voice seemed tight as he tried desperatly to pull his gaze away from the blood red eyes of the attractive kunoichi
A dark form was crouched on the roof above the group, listening carefully to the conversation

Sakura had cast her eyes down at the floor the moment Katsumi had stepped forwards, whereas Shigeo's were firmly fixed on her body.
Noticing the rising tension in the room, Master Manabu ushered them all out of the room, all except Katsumi, and gave them strict instructions to be ready by dawn tomorrow.

Fei sighed as he walked back to his room, the kunoichi seemed strange to him. It wasnt just her unholy sensuality, though she was unquestioningly attractive, she didnt seem normal.
A trail of long, midnight black hair seemed to descend into the room with a graceful flow, like a pillar of smoke. "Well the security here doesnt seem to have improved. Infact, i would definatly say its gotten worse. And the quality of student with it. Do you really think that they can stop me Manabu? I was better than anything you could come out with when i left and i've improved tenfold since then. I hope you dont mind losing a few students, you have plenty of the imcompetants around" with a laugh the shadowy form dissipated into the air, leaving nothing but a sulpherous stench

The monks in the room ran to the windows and opened the shutters to let the smell out. Manabu stood, unfazed and frowning slightly at the spot where the man had disappeared.
Outside, Sakura had marched straight to her room to pack ready for tomorrow morning, her stomach was turning terribly, she was sick with nerves. She knew she wouldn't sleep well tonight.
Katsumi was returning to her temporary room for the night when she turned back to the hall she had came from. She frowned, wondering if she had imagined the black streak flying from the roof. She took a few minutes to watch, then seeing nothing, carried on back to her room.

A flash of light exploded mere millimeters from where the shadow had vanished, followed by a naturally husky voice "I missed him didnt i?"

Katsumi stopped and glanced over her shoulder at the newcomer, then back at the hall. "I hope so." She said calmly. "Or I might be out of a job." She silently readied a kunai in her hand so the man couldn't see, her eyes still fixed on the hall. "I seriously doubt Manabu would fall for a mere foolish prank like that anyway."

"I come back here trying to catch the badguy and i get a girl threaten me and my money would be on you readying a throwing weapon aimed at my back" a soft chuckle came from the slender blonde male "Well, at least youre betterlooking than the last person who tried to kill me" he looked up, showing a face that was handsome, if marred by a couple of cuts and bruises

"This?" Katsumi raised her kunai and twisted it around in her fingers. "Please, I wouldn't use this if I was going to kill you. And I'm not as cowardly to throw it at your back either, just to hurt you for sneaking up on me like that."

"So you carry it in your hand all the time? Must make lifting heavy boxes alot more difficult." he smirked at her "So back to my question, am i too late for Kaishi? Shadowy guy, long black hair, ass tighter than Manabu when it comes to paying for an expensive meal?"

"If you're talking about the one who tried to attack Manabu, I don't know... Though I can't imagine he'd stick around for long." She paused, and slipped the kunai back into her belt. "You'll have to go ask the monks."

"And now the most important question" he smiled wickedly "Real or fake?"

Katsumi raised an eyebrow at him. "What are you talking about?" She questioned.

"I'll say real and change the subject while i can still walk away from this" he chuckled again "By the way, if Kaishi had attacked Manabu then one of them would be a corpse. My guess he came here to gloat. Ive been following him for a number of weeks and i think that he may be up to something big"
