"Kobu honey~ wake up!" He looked up from his laid out equipment pouch; everything he needed was here.
"I'm up already, mah!" Kobu yelled somewhat annoyed as he carefully fitted everything into the right areas; didn't she know he was a fully fledged genin, now? He was grown up enough to wake up on his own for sure! The young ninja hopped up quickly to his feet, strapping his pouch on over his shoulder, and making sure it was secure. The pouch opened right at his chest for easy access on the go; it was his own design, and he was sure it would catch on sooner or later. "what's up, squirt?" He looked up, it was his older brother, Gato, already a chuunin. "hey bro! I'm gonna go meet my sensei!"
"I heard! Hey, are you really wearing that crazy looking bag of yours? Guess it aint any worse than your haircut." Kobu got a grumpy look on his face at that, and moved to kick his brother in the shin. He quickly moved out of the way, smiling innocently.
"Hey, hey! Touchy! I'm just playing with you." He looked at his watch. "You'd better head out, though, or you'll be late!"
One slam of the door later, and he was out, equipment and mother-made lunch in hand. Today was gonna be a good day, for sure!
Kebi had planned it out to be immaculate. He would be on time; perfectly on time. First he would run around the whole city, as was his weekday routine, then he would work on his new genjutsu, and after that was done, he would wash, prepare himself, and make it to the meeting spot without a second to spare. Perfect.
He executed most of it impeccably. Most of it. He paced towards the meeting spot, doing calculations in his head on just how old their teacher might be… Most shinobi in a village so low on experienced ninja retired only when they were too old to safely perform missions; by this estimate, the teacher would be an old geezer. Such an image was not promising. He hoped their teacher would be able to keep up with him. He was snapped out of his thoughts by fast approaching footsteps.
"-COMING THROUGH!" He felt a harsh bump, and stumbled to the ground, falling to a knee. What the hell was that? "Sorry! Gotta go, though!" Wait… was that… Kobu? That dolt had just had the nerve to bump into him! Wait a second; was he heading the same way? "No…" No, it couldn't be! He wasn't the third team mate was he? He had already met the girl, they had been informed of the meeting place together, and she was bad enough as it is. Sure, Kobu wasn't a horrible ninja, but he was just so… unprofessional. He clenched his fists as he climbed to his feet again. He'd just have to hope that the idiot was just heading the same way. His internal clock was now off; he had no way of telling if he would be on time, or seconds late. There went his perfect schedule. He reminded himself to tear Kobu a new one the next chance he got.
Kobu arrived at the spot, and immediately froze as he saw who was there. Marin. She looked sweaty; had she been training? Her hand wraps were all scuffed. She hadn't noticed him yet; mostly because he hid behind a tree when he saw her. Aw crap; he supposed he should apologize. Er… Maybe not. Maybe she'd forgotten already. Girls had bad memories, right? Yeah. Sure. He nodded to himself, and strode confidently out into the clearing.
"What are you doing here?" She hadn't forgotten.
"I- eh… I'm here to meet my sensei? M- maybe I'm in the wrong spot."
"Nope." The voice came from the tree line, and its owner appeared in a flash and a puff of smoke. Wow! What an entrance… too bad he looked so plain. It would have definitely looked cooler if he was all pimped out or something.
"Now, where is Kebimara San? He is late."
