Teasing. I think that's what it's called. What they're doing to me. They told me that we were friends one day, and that was it. But I don't know what friends are, or what they're for- it doesn't seem like something a ninja would need.

When I told this to them in objection to our spending time together, they told me that we were learning each other's personality traits in the event of an infiltrator. I was then dragged on a pranking spree.

They sit next to me in class and do projects with me, and they invite themselves over to my house and do their homework in the study with me.

Raiko has very curly hair, and a slow, measured way of speaking, like she thinks of each word specifically and arranges each sentence in her head just so before letting it out of her mouth and into the world. For all that she talks less than an Aburame, she's got the loudest presence of her sisters, and a strange, almost… crackling sense of humor. She wears a bright red veil, and a black face mask underneath it.

Kirara is mercurial in her moods, with a soft, breathy voice. She draws the best pictures I've ever seen, and likes to hide in very hard to reach places. I don't know how she gets so high up all the time. She has the largest vocabulary of all of us, and can read things almost the first time she sees them. She wears a bright blue veil, and a black face mask underneath it. She also runs very fast.

Yayoi is my best friend. She's very even tempered, and not prone to outbursts of any kind. She comprehends things as fast as I can, and she notices things I can't- I know she can do genjutsu, but I've never quite managed to catch her at it. She wears a bright yellow veil, and when she's hiding I can only find her if she lets me. She wears bright yellow!

They also keep stealing my clothing and I don't know how. I'm wearing it when they take it- how do they keep doing that?!

I guess… honestly, if this is what teasing is… I think… I don't mind it at all
