Humming lightly, twelve year old Kamoto Setsuna reclines on her sofa. She had just finished all of her- and her superiors paperwork. Reaching over to the reddish coffee table she picks up her book. Just as she opens to the page she had left off at, a frantic knock is heard at her door. With an annoyed sigh she drops the book and moves towards the door, pulling a handful of senbon out of the pouch attached to her hip. "I swear to god I'm going to shove this senbon down someone's throat if there isn't a good reason for interrupting me."

Swinging the door open, the mint haired girl pauses. Her teammate, Yamanaka Isao is standing at the door. His long blond hair is tied in a low ponytail reaching his mid back and pale blue eyes widen slightly at her irritation.

Raising an eyebrow at him Setsuna frowns. "What?"

Isao tugs at his navy blue sweater with a nervous smile before answering his female teammate. "You know how Shigeko has a thing against liquids? She's severely dehydrated herself again. Could you…?"

Setsuna twitches. Levelling a glare at the wall she shooed Isao outside. She closes the door behind her and follows her fellow chunin down the street. Glancing over at the boy who had come to fetch her she asks, "You do know Shigeko tends to avoid me, right?"

Waving his hand in dismissal as he pulls his low ponytail over his shoulder he says, "It isn't you she's avoiding per say. It's just that you're a suiton type, and she hates anything that puts out her flames."

The mint haired girl snorts lightly, "The only type of liquid she likes is probably oil. She better not try to drink that though- the medics already give her enough shit about her dehydration problem."

Rolling his eyes and patting the younger girl on the head Isao chuckles lightly. Looking up as their names are called, the third member of their genin cell waves at them cheerfully. Inuzuka Koji. He is a rather curious and excitable individual, who makes up for his introverted teammates. His canine partner, Ginamaru is of waist height with silky, silvery fur.

Koji grins at the two, leaping over and and tries to pull them into a group hug. Tries. Setsuna quickly substitutes herself with Ginamaru as Isao shushins away, leaving Koji sputtering leaves.

With a pout the Inuzuka crosses his arms after putting his partner down, "So that's how it is? Screw you too."

Setsuna chuckles as she shoves into his shoulder, taking off into a sprint down the sparsely populated street. The orange and yellow sunset illuminates everything within view as her teammates take off after her in a rush. Leaping to the top of a roof with a burst of smoke she turns, sticking her tongue out childishly to her teammates.

With a smirk Koji starts bolting through the street, shunshing up to the roofs with Isao not a step behind him. Sticking his leg out, Isao trips the Inuzuka and then hurtles past him in pursuit of the petite greenette.

"That wasn't fair, Isao! You bastard!" The brown haired chunin calls as he follows after the blond.

Isao laughs with a smug grin aimed at the brunet, "Ninja's cheat, Koji! It's part of the job description."

Decently ahead of the duo Setsuna pauses. Looking back at the boys with a fond smile she shakes her head. Using chakra to enhance her speed, she continues to the Henmi residence. After all, it wouldn't do to allow a former classmate die of dehydration. Even if it means using a suiton jutsu on her.

Standing in front of the large and rather gaudy tailor shop, Setsuna raises her hand to knock. Before her hand hits the door it slides open. A elegant woman wearing a forest green kimono looks down at her appraisingly. Her dark eyes narrow. "More of you shinobi. Tch. She's in the building out back. Hopefully you'll be able to get her to drink something."

Setsuna drops into a shallow bow, "I'm sorry for disturbing you, Henmi-san. I will take my leave."

As she turns to leave, Shigeko's mother calls to her, "You are the Kamoto heiress, yes? Although a minor clan, you have quite a bit of wealth. Perhaps you would like to stop by my shop someday? I am sure we may have some *furisodes that would suit you."

Turning to the business woman whose expression had taken a slightly calculating turn, Setsuna politely agrees and excuses herself. Making her way over to the two story building stationed a few meters from the shop. Meeting her teammates at the door of Shigeko's training hall she strides past them and pushes the door open.

"Eh? Ignoring us 'cause we beat you here?" Koji asks teasingly as he tugs one of her pigtails.

With a smirk Isao replies, "No, it's likely that Henmi-san was trying to get Setsu-chan to buy one of her kimono's. She hates shitty attempts at manipulation."

Scoffing at the Isao she replies back snarkily, "You dislike it just as much as I do Isao."

Entering the building the trio soon hear shouts and loud crashing noises. Rushing to the scene the three of them pause once entering the dojo. Buckets that had emptied their contents onto the floor lie everywheres. Fujiwara Susumu- a boy with light sandy hair and one of Shigeko's squadmates is passed out on the floor. Her other squadmate, somewhat timid and shy Miura Atsushi and the members of Team Ryota are chasing said girl around the dojo.

Shigeko gracefully avoids all four of the chunin, using chakra enhanced leaps to avoid touching the water on the ground. She also had started using genjutsu to confuse the comrades who had been trying to force her to drink something.

"I will never give in to the water! My Will of Fire will never dim!" The normally serious and apathetic girl calls out as she narrowly evades Hyuuga Ryota's lunge.

Pausing for a moment on the ceiling, Atsushi brushes a hand through his dusty brown hair. In a quiet voice he says, "I-I think that you're taking this a bit far Shigeko-chan."

Shigeko's eyes darken before glaring at all of the assembled chunin, "I will not drink! Not even if it is the dea-"

"Suiton: Raging Waves!" Setsuna calls out, drenching the auburned haired girl.

With a shriek she jumps back, staring at Setsuna in horror, "You wouldn't.."

Sighing the greenette steps forwards, "This happens every time, Shigeko. You ought to know better."

Crossing his arms with annoyance, Ryota drops to the ground. His dark hair is soaked and pale eyes twitching as he glances in Shigeko's direction. Fiddling with the bandages wrapped around his fist he glances at Team Isao, "It's a good thing you got here in time. We were barely preventing her from leaving."

Ryota's female teammate, Oshiro Miwa carefully makes her way over to Shigeko with a bottle of water. With a charming smile she reaches her hand out to the fire obsessed girl, "If you do this one more time I am going to set Oyone-shishou on you. You think Setsuna's scary, right? Oyone-shishou is a medic nin and will have an order out for your hospitalization if you continue."

Shigeko begrudgingly takes the bottle from her. Opening the cap and looking as if she was about to down some poison, she chugs it. All of it. Once she finishes she throws the bottle away. She pulls off her shirt, now soaked and runs up the stairs, likely to change into a new pair of clothes.

Koji sighs as he sits down in the entry way. "How does this happen every week?"

"Uhm," The final member of Team Ryota, Akimichi Chijirou calls, "Aren't we forgetting about Susumu?"

The chunin in the waterlogged dojo all glance at their unconscious comrade. Stalking over to the unfortunate boy Miwa checks his pulse. Giving him a good smack on the cheek she stood, "He'll be fine."

Clapping her hands together Setsuna looked around at her friends, "Now that this is over with, I'm going home. Should anyone disturb me again you will learn exactly why I'm called Typhoon Setsuna. Alright then! Have a good night everyone."

Koji snorts and whispers to Ryota, "I wonder who's on their time of the month."

The Hyuuga promptly decks his fellow chunin.

Setsuna tiredly sets up her traps then proceeds to fall into her futon. Exhaustively she rolls onto her side, curling up into a ball. Eventually she drifts to sleep.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Each progressing beep grew loudly than the last, forcing Setsuna to stumble out of her warm blankets and to her dresser. Standing in front of the wretched device, she slams her hand onto it. It cracks, sparks flying onto the ground. "Tch."

Running a hand through her mid back length hair she enters the bathroom and takes a shower. After drying herself off and slipping on her mesh armor she changes into her usual outfit- a full length black kimono with red and silver spider lilies detailing the bottom and sleeves. The obi wrapped around her waist is white with green and red flecks scattered throughout. She slips on a pair of grey shorts underneath. Setsuna never wore her clan symbol unless a formal occasion requires it. After all, it would only make her a larger target.

Tying her hair up into her custom twintails she secures them with two black scrunchies. Each of which conceal a tiny shuriken. She ties her white headband onto her right arm then attaches a tan belt to her waist. Two pouches and a multitude of vials are strung onto the belt. Lastly, she clips a sealing scroll to her back. Said scroll carries various useful items and emergency supplies.

Strolling out to the kitchen, she doesn't even pause when she sees her teammates lounging in her living room. Isao and Koji often stopped by in the mornings to have breakfast with their former teammate.

"Good morning, Setsu-chan!" Koji calls cheerfully as she continues into the kitchen.

Filling the kettle with water she places it onto the stove. "Morning you two. Coffee?"

With a groan Isao agrees, "You're a god send Setsuna."

"That's not what you were saying on the first day of training, Isao."

Both Koji and Isao tumble off the couch in surprise. "Yuutaka-sensei!"

Popping her head in from the kitchen Setsuna looks at her old sensei. The man has cropped dark hair and glistening green eyes. Muscular, since he has a double specialization in taijutsu and kenjutsu. He wears the typical jonin getup, with his headband wrapped around his left leg.

"Staying for breakfast?" She asks.

Yuutaka shakes his head, "I got a debrief with Hokage-sama in ten. I just wanted to stop by and see my dear students before crashing afterwards."

Isao snorts, "Blunt as ever. Now get going, you don't want to get a reputation like Sharingan Kakashi, hm?"

Their former sensei raises his eyebrow, "So rude. What happened to my polite little genin?"

"You killed it." Setsuna offers in a deadpan tone before returning to the kitchen.

Koji chokes laughing, "You're saying Isao's an it? Pfft!"

Standing behind the two younger males Yuutaka bashes their heads together. Not enough to knock them out, but to hurt like a bitch. "Behave you two. Anyways, I'm out. See you three later." He calls as he does a small salute before poofing away.

"Aw fuck!" Koji whines, holding his head.

Poking out of the kitchen again she waves with her spatula. "You were kinda mouthing off though. You really think he'd just let it go 'cause we're not his students anymore. So naive~" She teases lightly before throwing two ice packs at them.

Setsuna re enters the kitchen and pours the coffee. Isao took his black, Koji quarter milk, and Setsuna half milk and four sugar. "Come get your coffee you two, and breakfast should be done momentarily."

The two fourteen year olds grab their drinks and take a seat at the kitchen table. Setsuna finishes cooking. Sticking the plates to her arm with chakra, she easily slides them to her friends.

"Itadakimasu." The three say at the same time.

Koji proceeds to shove his entire serving of bacon into his mouth, his hand reaching towards Setsuna's plate as he gulps the meat down. She easily smacks his hand away with a disapproving frown. "No."

"Don't even try it," Isao denies as Koji looks over with hopeful eyes, "I won't give up my bacon to you."

Ginamaru yips in amusement, sitting next to her partner's side.

"Not you too Gina! Geez you guys are so mean." Koji says with a sigh, inhaling the rest of his food. His two teammates watch on with varied expressions of disgust.

Looking up at the clock, Setsuna sighs. "It's time for me to go to work. I'll you you lot later. Don't forget to clean up."

Isao nods in agreement, "We'll see you later Setsu-chan! Have a good day."

Ginamaru nips Koji's hand as he forgets to say a goodbye, "Damn it Gina! Yeah, yeah, I get it. Later Setsu."

Grabbing the tower of paperwork and sealing it into a scroll, she secures to her belt. Heading to the door Setsuna slips on her sandals and exits her apartment. Heading along the road, she quickly arrives at her place of occupation.

The Department of Torture and Interrogation.

Ah man, I know that was a shit ton of OC's but these are the people who graduated the same time Setsuna was pulled out of the Academy. (And her genin team.) They won't be in the story a lot, but I thought that it gave Setsuna some depth, to have people that aren't the main cast to rely on. The next chapter will be dealing with more canon people so don't worry!

I really like Henmi Shigeko. I meant her to be a serious girl who is deathly scared of water- as a fire user it freaks her the fuck out lol. I'll probably have a filler chapter about her sometime. Oh and something that's ironic: Shigeko = Pearl. Hehe.

Anyways I'll probably end up rewriting this again in the future since I feel my writing isn't good enough for the story I have planned out. I focus on dialogue and have a hard time not rushing things. I'll do my best though! Wish me luck!
