Sasuke's Office [Sasuke, Karin]
It was plain to everyone that was Karin was at the tail end of her renowned short fuse as she stormed up the hall towards Sasuke’s office, shoving who she needed to out of the way. She was set to go off in an explosion just as loud as her firecracker red hair. Coming to a hault, her teeth grit together and she tapped her foot, waiting for the office assistant to announce her before she went in.
As soon as she was called, her heels clicked loudly and she flew into the office, stopping before him and crossing her arms.
“I DON'T KNOW what the interrogation squad did to her, but either the Hyuugas are THE SECOND MOST OBSTINATE, INSUFFERABLE, AND HOLIER-THAN-THOU CLAN ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET or someone DE-EVOLVED to back when Orochimaru-sama was in charge while she was in their custody and was excessively hard on that kid!”
Realizing that she was shouting, Karin removed her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose. “I’m losing my wits. Sorry for my unprofessional behavior right now, but, professionally, it's causing a MAJOR problem for her recuperation.”

[Thread] On The Road Again [Isamu, Osamu, Sakura, Kiba]
Kiba decided that it was nice to be on a mission again. It was weird, and a little upsetting, to be without his normal team, but still- being out was good. He loved his home, he always would, but the world kept turning and they still needed to be taking missions. One with missing people was good for Team 8 all around. But Shino was still out and Isamu, Osamu, and Sakura were all good people to work with.
...heh. Poor Sakura.
They had been on the road for a few days now, and they should have been hitting their destination, either later that night or the next day. Kiba himself was taking point, riding easily a top Akako. The weather was nice, and the mission had been easy for these few days. He could tell- this was going to be just fine.

Birthday celebrations
((OOC: Backdated to Saturday March 29th, and open to everyone in Konoha that Hanabi invited either directly or indirectly))
The Lotus was modestly decorated. Hanabi hadn't asked for any sort of decorations, but the staff said that it had been a long time since they'd gotten to use them. Hanabi wasn't going to bother arguing if they were choosing to decorate for their own reasons. After all, it had been quite some time since any celebrations had occurred, and it was far enough from the big attack on Konoha that a small occasion was warranted.
The young Hyuuga didn't care if anyone brought her any presents. Given the war going on, it was a gift to be able to get together with family and friends, and to have a moderate sized group all able to show up at once. However, she knew some presents were coming and was glad that Sakura had advised her to be cautious about anything Ino might give.

[Thread] Spars and Talks [Kiba, Hinata]
To say she was nervous wasn't exactly correct; there was more going through her mind than she could rightly acknowledge. But Kurenai's suggestion had been helpful, and was the only thing Hinata could really see as viable at this point.
She'd told Kiba early afternoon, but she arrived at the training grounds well before noon. She spent most of that time training on her own, trying to rid herself of the excess nervous energy that wouldn't go away. The last thing she wanted was to be jittery when Kiba finally arrived--she had enough trouble speaking when she wasn't worried.
Noon came and passed and she still didn't feel the least bit tired, but she stopped and found a place to sit, back against one of the training posts. Maybe planning out what she would say would make this easier.
...She hoped.

Changes [Neji, Hinata]
Neji leaned against the wall next to the entrance to the compound as he waited for Hinata. The twins weren't on gate duty, for once. Either they were enjoying some free time or they were assigned elsewhere. The ones who were on duty he exchanged greetings with and that had been it.
It felt weird, being on the outside like this. Not just literally, but mentally, too. But Tsuda-taichou had confirmed Neji's appointment before slapping him on the back. Hard. So in addition to a hand-shaped bruise on his back, now Neji had the fun task of informing his uncle of the news. First things first, however: he needed to tell Hinata. He glanced skyward when his peripheral vision caught flakes falling. The sky, leaden with clouds, was finally releasing the snow it had been hoarding for the past week. And judging by the way it was sticking, it would be quite a bit of snow. With a mental sigh he zipped up the front of his jacket before pulling the hood up as well, and hoped she wouldn't be too long. ( Their talk could possibly take a while.Collapse )

Catch-22 [Neji, Asuma]
[takes place one week after Asuma's named Hokage and the office has been cleared of traps]
After so long of no Hokage, being summoned to the Tower by the new Hokage felt a little odd. At the same time it felt good to have someone in that position once more. Things seemed a little more 'right'. It also amused Neji to some extent that his former sempai was now his Hokage. The fact he knew Asuma wouldn't be very keen about this promotion only added to it. As he placed the beaked mask over his face, he pushed away his mirth. Indeed, all emotion he left behind before even leaving the walls of headquarters and traversing the rooftop-path to the Tower. He was Falcon, summoned by his Hokage for reason yet to be revealed. Questioning his superior was not in his nature. A brief pause as the sentries guarding Hokage-sama paused to verify who he was, and then Falcon slipped inside the office the way only ANBU knew how.
Falcon had not been inside the Hokage's office since before the Godaime's death. The sight of papers everywhere needing attention was not new. The lack of little knickknacks collected by Tsunade-sama over the years was gone. But the same hat and robe hung on in the open closet to the side. He took that all in in a moment before crouching before the desk; one knee and one fist pressed to the ground, his head at an angle to where his mask made it appear he looked to the floor but in fact his eyes tracked the Hokage's every move.
( ''You sent for me, Hokage-sama?''Collapse )

[Thread] Whistle while you work [Sakura, Hana, Kakashi]
Sakura was annoyed. For several reasons, one of them being that she was now on her hands and knees reaching into the back of a cabinet and growling under her breath about time wasted. She'd flung open all the cabinets and false panels and loose floorboards, leaving a veritable minefield behind as she scoured for any place that she and Shizune could've missed.
Needless to say, the thought didn't make her happy. When she and Shizune had finished cleaning the place out, she'd been fairly confident she'd found every possible place anyone could ever put anything in the office. Being told she'd missed a spot made her want to punch things. Hard.
But that was the council for you.
