Nori yawned and stretched in the mid-day sun, his hands folded contently behind his head, his back against a tree. He'd been working since sunrise in the family courtyard, practicing forms and basics until his breath became short from strain and the sun grew too high for tolerance. But the limbs of the plum above him provided a cool shade in the midst of it all, and it smelled sweetly of blossoms and new wood.
"Nori!"
He turned his head to the side in a small movement to see the voice he already recognized.
"Hey, Kaede," he smiled. "What are you doing here?"
Kaede's golden eyes shone as she fell out of the sun and into the shade. "Visitors from another country," she said, crouching down beside her cousin. "They're here, in the Cloud. Raikage-sama wants us in his office; you and me, I mean."
Nori nodded and lazily stood up, leaning back in another stretch. "Right, right," he said, reaching up and plucking a fruit from its stem. "Let's go."
He tossed the purple plum to Kaede, who caught it with a smile, and the two of them set out for the main village to meet the Raikage.
NOTE: Yes, Kaede will be making appearances in this roleplay. ^^

Sasunari was leaning against the wall near to the door of the Raikage's office, spinning a kunai betwen her fingers. She had been there for a long time, waiting for permission to enter in the office, but yet it seemed that Raikage-sama had forgotten she was on the other side of the door. Again.
She sighed, trying her best to keep herself quiet. That was when she noticed someone else was coming.
She didn't knew who it was. As always, she didn't even raised her eyes. Oushi had already tryed to tell her that wasn't a good attitude for a shinobi, but she couldn't fight it.
"Just don't look up" She tought, putting her kunai back to her belt, crossing her arms in front of her chest, as she felt those presences coming closer. "Maybe they won't see you, it wouldn't be the first time. Just keep looking down."
(OOC: Sorry if it took too long ^_^")

Korin walked into the village hidden in the clouds. He was being used as an ambassador to the Cloud Village by the Hokage. He had no idea why he was here, just that he was to talk to the Raikage about a message sent to the Hokage. He considered it a waste of time, but Hokage-sama had ordered him to go. 'At least he promised I might run into some enemy ninja' Korin thought, 'Even if i haven't yet.'
He looked at the village for the first time, and immediatly became lost. 'Great, he didnt give me a map of the city to find the Raikage!' he thought bitterly, ' I'll have to ask for directions, and I hate doing that'
He say a black haired boy and a girl in a black cloak. 'May as well ask them'
He walked over to them and said "Hi, could one of you give me directions to the Raikages office?"

Nori strode down the streets a few paces ahead of Kaede, who followed behind, every now and then taking a bite from the plum. It was a pleasant day, a normal walk, until out of the city bustle came a voice…
"Hi, could one of you give me directions to the Raikage's office?"
Nori was the first to spot him. A redheaded boy about his own age was coming towards them, dressed as a shinobi, and wearing a Leaf headband. Well-built and certainly more muscular than he, there was no doubt that this guy was pretty strong. Nori also noticed that the boy wore no shoes.
He looks… interesting.
"You must be the ambassador from the village Raikage told Kaede about," said Nori as the boy entered a comfortable range. "Nori Kasumi and Kaede Murakami, at your service. Welcome to the Cloud."

"Just what the hell can take so long?" Sasunari sighed, taking the kunai out again, watching the back of the two conselors that just passed her by.
She was sick and tired of waiting, and would certainly kill Oushi when she got home. Why did he pushed her to that? He already knew she had problems when it came to socializing. She couldn't even go to the grocery store without getting problems to herself, for the love of Kami! How was she supposed to do HIS job?
Cursing Oushi silently, she threw the kunai in the air, catching it again. This was getting more and more troublesome with each minute.

"Yeah thats me" Korin said "My names Itachi Korin" He made sure to get a good look at the girl. "You two must be the ninja I'm supposed to meet at the Raikages, but I'm lost so you mind if I follow you?"
It was a stupid question but if he didnt ask he would be late and that would be worse.
He looked at the boy and noticed he had Black eyes that showed no emotion. 'This will be an interesting walk, if they say yes'

(OOC: Thanks for being patient, SP-KK. ^^)
Kaede blushed as Korin caught her eye, and she quickly made use of her hands by brushing some hair from her face.
Nori, however, was not so easily phased. It was his responsibility to be hospitable, though, and it was his duty to the clan, so he nodded and agreed to take Korin to the Raikage.
They set off together, striding through the crowd with the expected "Hello, Kasumi-dono," and "Good afternoon, Kaede-sama." Both cousins would bow and nod in return.
"So, Korin" asked Nori, bowing a head to a giggly young girl. "Why exactly has the Hokage sent a top shinobi to the Hidden Cloud?"
Kaede, too, looked up, also interested.

Korin looked at Nori. "I honestly have no clue. All he would tell me is that its important and that the Raikage would let me know what I'm here for" He said. 'And so far its been a waste of time.'
Korin continued to follow the two shinobi, making sure to keep an eye on them so he didnt lose them as he stared at the buildings they passed, and glanced at the people the others bowed to. All in all it seemed like a very nice village.
'I might be coming here again. I'll pick up a map on my way out, whenever I leave' He thought as he followed Nori and Kaede

Numi loved following korin around, not that he knew she was following him or aneything, she was always in cat form. she pranced behind him as he talked to his new friends. Korin knew what she looked like as a cat and had met her befor, but never seemed to notice her. every time she confronts him she ends up in pain so she trails behind him like a lost kitten.
Numi eyed the boy with koren and decided she liked him. he looked so friendly and kind. she meowed out of happyness and her charm turned yellow.

Nori made a satisfied face and sent a quick glance over to Kaede, who shrugged her shoulders and smiled.
"I guess we're all in the dark, then," Nori sighed, flipping his hair from his face with a toss of his head. "The Raikage is definitely one of the most disorganized people you'll ever meet. He's a talented guy, though."
Kaede relayed her agreement and continued walking. Then, faintly, she heard the sound of a cat's meow purring behind her. She turned her head subtly and looked down at a cute little orange cat pawing innocently along, a peculiar little charm hanging in one of its ears. Kaede smiled and gave it a small wave, as any girl would.
After only a few more minutes, the three ninja (and the cat) found themselves walking down the hallway of the Raikage's Mansion. *too lazy right now for descriptions… use your imagination* -_-
Nori, who was in the lead, narrowed his eyes as he recognized a figure leaning tiredly against the Raikage's office door.
"Sasunari-chan?" he called out curiously. "Is that you?"

Sasunari caught the kunai once more, but this time she kept it in her hand. She stood still and quiet for a while. Did she knew that voice? It shurelly sounded familiar, but...
She gave a quick glance upwards. She didn't needed more to recognise the boy with the darker hair she had ever seen and his cousin. But who was the other one?
She looked to the bottom of the wall in front of her with a smirk, hidden by part of her hair. She didn't dare to look at the people on her right, as always.
"So... I suppose you're here for Raikage-same too, hm?"

"Yes, we are" Korin answers even though he knows the question wasn't directed at him. "I'm Itachi Korin of the Leaf village" 'On a so-far-waste-of-my-time mission' he thought bitterly 'I still don't know why I'm even here'

"You'll find out." Sasunari said, wondering why would a shinobi from the Leaf Village be sent to the Cloud without information. Then she added: "If you don't have to wait as much as me, that is."
After that, she sighed silently and placed the kunai back to it's pouch, crossed her arms in front of her chest afterwards, hopping that something would happen soon. Spending the rest of the day glued to that wall didn't looked funny at all, but she didn't had other choice than wait. Patiently.

(OOC: um... that was a thought)
Korin walks over to the door and knocks. After a few minutes without an answer he sits with his back to the wall and watches the door, waiting.

(OOC: My bad ^_^" But it's not my fault my character is not that talkative. No, wait... it is... ~_~ crap...)
"So... you come here in a mission and you don't even know what you're going to do... I didn't thought your Hokage was so imprudent." Sasunari said, breaking the silence.
It wasn't in her blood to speak when no one else did, and doing this sounded kind of weird to her. But taking that off, she did the usuall: neutral expression, eyes down on the floor and as less movements as possible.
