The First of Many (Mishaps, that is)

Tatsuay remained quiet as he starred at her cuts not really noticing the question. He stood there in deep fixation for what had seemed like for ever. He did not mean any harm but could not take his eyes off of he arms. Tatsuya's face was serious and complex wile thoughts began to race through his mind. 

Things like. "Why was all new interactions the same in the ninja world.? Come to think of it they always went through the same script.
You see some one and then you say hello and how are you doing. This one was slightly different with the falling into a bush and what not but all the rest the same...
For that matter why were people so interested in who other people were and for that matter what they were doing? Im always pretty respectfully to every one I come across and I have the same script each time. Then again why do I even care about how I introduced myself to some one. It was simply just what I do. Was that okay...
If not then why? And if so then why am I even having the thoughts that I im having?"

All this rushing through Tatsuay's mind at once and soon overloading him. Had being with the demon for so long broke Tatsuya's mind and the fact that one of his best friend Makussu had died?

Then looking over with wide dry eyes Tatsuya sees the Senju making and his eyes grow even larger. With that Tatusya falls back and lands on the ground face up with a large thump. His mind now clear and pure with only one simple question.

"Say why do the tree grow up?" He says aloud.

The newcomer hadn't answered Jason's question but continued to stare at Risako for a few moments before falling backwards.

"Say why do the tree grow up?"

This guy was definitely out of the ordinary. But that also made Jason more sure he wasn't an enemy. He decided to answer the question. "You know I'm not really sure. That's just how it's always been so I've never questioned it. You don't really seem like a threat to us so if you don't want to give your name I wont force you." Jason had said to the man, sitting down cross legged besides him. He pulled out his bag and took out three sandwiches and some water bottles. He usually packed enough food for a couple meals since he never knew when he would head home to eat. Because of this he happened to have enough for everyone and decided that he would share his food, if only not to appear rude because he was hungry himself. He went to hand one each to Risako and the newcomer and said "I'm starving. I have some extra sandwiches with me. Would you guys like to eat lunch with me? We can talk more about ourselves and training after our bellies are full"

He didn't know why, maybe it was that he met new people for once, but Jason was in an excellent mood and he wanted to talk more with the clumsy girl and oddball stranger so he was eager to share his food with them.

The man sat next to Tatsuya. This was comforting as it made Tatsuya feel accepted. He sat up and looked at the sandwiches.


"Thank you very much. I will have to take you two out for some ramen some time."
Tatsuya takes a bight before answering.  
"My name is Tatsuya Nara of the leaf."

After this Tatsuya will stay silent as the other man speaks about his dog. The man was very kind and Tatsuya appreciated that. It seemed that Tatsuya had mad his way into a possible new bond with two people. Eating the sandwich Tatsuya listens to the man talk about his dog but could not shake the Senju marking on the man. It was the power that Tatsuya desired. He wanted it in an almost primitive greedy way. He was obsessed with the a grate and powerful force. He had plans to gain her trust and become her knight. not only her knight but become part of her. He wanted to wield her blade that could bring life to the hole world or destroy it in an instance.
Tatsuya had much to learn and do before he could even begin to master its power. He would ask about it later. For now however it would be best to make as many friends as possible.
Tatsuya listens to what he says about his dog.

They both happily took the sandwiches and began eating. Then Risako again asked about Nami and Jason was happy to answer. "Oh that's right you asked about Nami. Well she is actually a thousand year old spirit fox and the last of her kind. I found her one day when I was exploring the forest and we mentally bonded. Now she is always close by and we are in constant mental contact, sharing our thoughts and emotions. But mostly she is my best friend. She can communicate to you guys telepathically too but only by relaying images and feelings so it might be a little hard for you guys to understand her at first. I sent her a bit farther out to keep watch and let me know if anyone is coming. I don't want to get caught off guard again. Tatsuya was it? I would love to go for ramen some time. How do you guys like the sandwiches?" Jason would say to the two of them, answering Risako's question and asking some in return.

He couldn't help but feel like he had made a strange new bond with these two. Maybe now he would finally have some friends to train with and talk to. Obviously he had Nami as they were bonded for lie but it wasn't the same as having other people around. Jason was glad they had accepted his sandwiches. They were definitely an odd bunch but Jason liked that. He hoped that he was right and they could become good friends.

Lukas woke up early today to train. Lukas was training all morning when he noticed his friend Jason Senju had not been there. Lukas went into town looking for Jason. Lukas went to the ramen shop, ninja shop, even to the bath house looking for Jason. He then gave up and went to Jason's house. When he got there he was told he just missed Jason and he was on his way to the forest.
 
Lukas then went to the forest. When he got there he couldn't find Jason. Lukas thought to himself "He has got to be here somewhere!", and activated his Byakugan. Lukas scanned for his friend in a circle until he found his friends chakra in the distance. There were two other chakra channels there and Lukas just figured that they were training with him.

Lukas came running towards his friend with a cheerful look on his face. When about 18 meters away Lukas yelled, "Hey Jason!" and continued running towards him. Just as he reached his friend, Lukas tripped and fell face first into a mysterious thorn bush. "Ouch!" he yelled as he attempted to get up.
[Byakugan action points 140-1= 139]

The only form of mythical fox Risako had heard about up to this point was the nine tails, which could be an absolute monster. It was good to know that not all legendary vulpine animals were like that. The last of her kind bit was a touch sad though, especially for a sentient being, at least she wasn't completely alone. She stuck her thumb up to show her appreciation of the food. "Twas good, Jason." After finishing her sandwich she would scoot back until she found a tree to sit back against. "And ramen sounds good to me."

All of a sudden, another person came crashing through the woods, yelling for Jason. He wouldn't get to say much else, as he had been sent face first into the same thorn bush she was tangled in earlier. This was some what comical, as she had seen this boy before, in class, although they hadn't really talked. Pointing toward the poor soul, she would say "You two gonna help 'im out?" This group was certainly strange, and that thorn bush even stranger. It almost seemed like it was trying to take the world out one person at a time... this was more than likely just imagination. In this uncivilized part of land known as the forest, there sure seemed to be an abundance of people.

Tatsuya listen to the story about the fox as it was quite interesting. He also gave acknowledgment to the sandwich. Soon the sound of some one calling out Jason's name. He was still quite far away but Tatsuya made out his gender and other physical attributes. It was not until he got closer that Tatsuya found say his eyes. They were a cloudy blue something only found in the Huga Clan. Tatsuay favored this visual jutsu far more then the Sharingan as the Huga were know for balance and inner peace wile the Uchiha were radical and had a wild fire consuming there souls. 

Tatsuya stands up as the boy draws near to them to introduce him self when the time came. Tatsuya then watches the boy begin to trip. As Tatsuya was fairly fast he shot out his arm to catch the boy before he fell into the bush.
What was going on? Tatsuya thought. This was now the second person that could have fallen into a thorny bush.
Having stopped him from falling in Tatsuya makes sure he has regained his balance before letting him go.
"You okay man?" Tatsuya says.

Both Tatsuya and Risako seemed interested in Nami's story. Before Jason had finished speaking Nami had contacted him to let him know a young hyperactive boy was heading their way. Sure enough when he finished his story he heard a familiar voice calling his name. Suddenly his friend Lukas came tripping in to view and would have fallen in to the thorn bush if not for Tatsuya's quick reflexes. He managed to grab Lukas before he fell face first in to the bush.

"You ok man?"

"Uh Lukas, what are you doing out here?" Jason had asked him. He could have stopped him from falling in to the bush as well but Tatsuya was much quicker than him. Jason didn't remember telling Lukas he was heading to the forest today and he was sure they weren't supposed to train. Either way this was definitely a lively group, that was certain. "Thanks for catching him Tatsuya. Lukas has a habit of tripping and falling in to things. Nami told me he was headed here. Oh I forgot, this is my friend Lukas Hyuuga. Lukas this is Risako and Tatsuya. Risako got stuck in that thorn bush earlier. I'd offer you a sandwich but unfortunately we ate them all." Jason would say to the colorful group in front of him with a slightly saddened expression. He was still hungry since that one sandwich hadn't filled him up. Jason would look at Lukas expectantly, waiting to hear what had brought him out here to find him in such a state. Jason would take a quick look around at the group and then patiently await a response.

Lukas kept his eyes closed, expecting to fall into the bush. Thankfully the strange boy had caught him. The boy was surprisingly fast.

"Thanks for catching him Tatsuya. Lukas has a habit of tripping and falling in to things. Nami told me he was headed here. Oh I forgot, this is my friend Lukas Hyuuga. Lukas this is Risako and Tatsuya. Risako got stuck in that thorn bush earlier. I'd offer you a sandwich but unfortunately we ate them all."

"Oh, Hi." Lukas said embarrassed, "Thanks."  " I came here to see if you wanted to go get ramen with me or something." Lukas said towards Jason. " But, I guess I'll be goin alone." Lukas said with a sudden sadness. "Unless you want me to stay of course!," Lukas said with hope, " 'Cause I can wait to eat."
