Aim True, Ye Vengeful

Zento was walking by thinking what he should do today. Reaching the new title of Jounin and the first thing he was gonna do? Get something to eat. He was starving and could go for something to eat. The sun beating down on him and stumbled his way into a small hole in the wall restaurant. Taking in a deep breath, Zento could smell fresh dumplings and other goodies in the place. Looking for a place to sit down and enjoy his meal. Hearing a loud noise and looking over to see that someone was talking about being broke and wanting to eat. Zento knew that feeling all to well. He would walk over to her table and take a seat. Looking at a menu and looking over at the waiter approaching asking if everything was fine. Zento pointing over at the waiter and speaking.

"No. Everything is not ok. We've been waiting here for over a half hour and you are JUST now getting to us?! This place is empty from what I could tell. So what's the hold up? Don't the customers come first?" Zento said sounding pissed. The waiter getting a few words in. "But you just walked in. I welcomed you in..." Sounding confused. Zento quickly speaking back. "Yeah I just got here but we had this place reserved for two weeks in advance AND she has been waiting so long. I was busy with ninja bussiness. Get us some dumplings for our wait." An awkward silence as the waiter wrote it down and quickly leaving. Zento yelling at him. "And drinks! Two waters and when you get back we'll have an order." Zento looked over at her and laughed. "After the meal lets argue about something and say we'll take it outside and just leave." Speaking quietly so no one but her would hear him.

Zento nodded at the girl thanking him for being there. "No problem at all. Anything for a free meal." He said laughing and making sure the waiter couldn't hear them. Watching the waiter come back with two glasses of water. Zento handing over the menu. "We'll take an order of dumplings please and thank you." He spoke. The waiter nodding and walking away. Zento's focus back on the girl. "If you got your money stolen, why come to a resturant? You can't pay for anything." Knowing the irony of his words. Zento didn't have his wallet either. He always kept his money at home for the most part and just carried an empty one. Looking at her now with a more focused look. Studying here. "The name is Zento. Nice to meet you miss?" Trailing off at the end to ask for her name without asking the question directly. Taking a drink of his water and setting the cold cup back down to its original postion.

"So, do you have any idea what this person looks like that took your money?" He asked looking to study her more. Reaching into his sleeve and pulling out a fan. Opening it to expose the symbol of the Yuki clan and fanning himself off a little. Looking around the restaurant. His body facing towards the entrance of the building in case anyone else entered, Zento would see it. Looking around. The place didn't have any windows except for the two by the front door exposing the buildings in front of it. From Zento's position, All that could be seen was the front doors and couldn't see the top of them. Keeping his own position well hidden in the building. The perfect spot to sit in his own opinion.

While it wasn't strange for someone to care about helping a person out, even if they don't know them. It is weird to go out of their way to demand something out of a person. "You know you didn't have to do all of that for someone you don't know.." Maybe he was some type of rough gentleman, who would only do these sorts of things do please a woman Nah, that ain't it...Besides I could've just came back, after tracking down those lame thieves kyoki casually shook her head out of her wild assumption. "The names Kyoki, its a pleasure!" A smile had let loose from her face, as she dangled her  small legs back and forth. She was pretty upbeat, her usual treat after zento had went out of his way to try and fill up her stomach. 

Her brow had risen once zento felt curious about her current situation. Kyoki stopped her legs and looked up at the roof of the building, in an attempt to get a good clue. "Well...He was about your height, except a few inches shorter. Your average chuunin..." Kyoki attempted to draw a picture of the guy that supposedly bumped into her. "For whatever reason, I'm unable to tell whether he took it or not, since I only noticed at the last moment...The crowd kinda got too big, since its a busy day here. " Kyoki sighed at her defeat, as she wasn't able to go into further detail.

"However, without a doubt. I'll find him. I'm not a fan of people going around being a thief"

Zento would take a drink of his water. Looking into the cup for a moment before finishing the glass of water then reaching into his back pocket and filling his cup with sake. Taking another drink from the cup and listening to her talk about her getting robbed. Seeing the dumplings quickly hit the table and reaching out to grab one before quickly having it flung in the air from burning his fingers. Reaching out with his other hand and having a senbon stab into the one in the air. Holding it with the senbon before blowing on it to cool it off and take a bite out of it. It was... Zento chewed for a little bit nodding to nothing as if she was still talking before grabbing his napkin and wiping his mouth. Secretly spitting out the small bite he took and folding the napkin up and setting it aside and putting the dumpling down on his plate.

"Well, sounds like we could go out and find this dude. Shouldn't be too far from here right?" Zento laughed and took another drink from his cup. thinking for a moment before taking another bite from the dumpling. Closing his eyes and grabbing his napkin. Repeating what he did before. "So! Should we head out after them?"

Kyoki nodded at the mans reply, while having he mouth stuffed with delicious dumplings. Her cheeks were drowned in an apple shaded color, due to the deliciousness of the sweets that she craved so much. Kyoki was able to chomp down on the treats, before swallow them whole. She was thankful for the water, because if she hadn't been able to grab it into. Kyoki would've needed some serious medical attention. As she had downed the glass of water, until the food was all gone. She's now able to talk, without all of that food in her mouth. 

"Agh That was great!" Kyoki complimented as, both of her pale, small hands would meet each other. She bowed her head in gratitude, before getting out of her seat. She took her time to leave out of the shop, while waiting for him to follow her. Before she should commence on her search, Kyoki wanted to learn of the strangers name. "You haven't given me your name, Mister" She teased, as she placed both of her hands behind her back.

Zento watched her eat the dumplings and seemed to really enjoy them. Something that Zento couldn't relate to. He would reach into his pocket pulling out what appeared to be cash and set it on the table. However, it wasn't real cash. Some was fake, some of them were buttons. He figured they would get out before they noticed.Zento stepped outside with the girl and spoke. "My name is Zento Yuki. Yours?" He said looking at her As they stepped and left the place, Zento looked in different directions to see where they should go. Watching her to follow her lead.

There was a small girl, about the same size as Kyoki. Retreating from her group meeting, still feeling a bit on edge. She was feeling worried about her friends well being, as she couldn't help but keep looking back. The girl had successfully avoided contact with any of the villagers, when she wasn't looking straight. She kept the money that the boy had splitted up evenly, despite the fact that it wasn't there money. The girl had held onto the money, as though her life depended on it. "Should I just call it quits? What if they don't go with his plan and reveal their true colors?" She spoke upon the situation that her friend, Kinuta. The boy that helped them steal and survive, but was also involved in a much complicated matter. She was told not to worry about it and would meet up later, but she was having second thoughts. 

Sometime later, Kyoki hopped and skipped along the village. Despite feeling bummed out, she was required to stay free from complicated feelings. "Oh, my name is Kyoki" She responded in a casual tone. She was keeping a steady pace, while seemingly looking like Kyoki isn't bothering herself to look forward in finding this thief. As Kyoki galloped, her body had suddenly stopped in motion, as the two bodies of short stature collided with each other. "Hey! Watch where you are going!" The girl cried out, as money came fumbling out of her hand, while trying to ease the pain on her forehead. 

"Ouch..." Kyoki felt dazed by the sudden collision, as she fell a few inches into, zentos right foot.
