It was the first Saturday in Konohagakure and still, no one had reached out to the two mysterious girls nor made an effort to get to know who they were. Little did they know, despite Sheer's undeniable ninja expertise, they were cautiously being watched.

"So Celeste, have you made any friends yet?"

Celeste simply pouted,implying her answer as the serious siblings strolled through the busy market place. The sun happened to be gleaming down upon the village and everyone seemed somewhat happier than usual.

"Why's everyone so joyful today ?" Celeste questioned, looking up at her beautiful and strong sister, confusion filling her youthful mind.

Sheer simply sighed.
"It's the beginnings of the preparation for the Konoha annual festival. It's in honor of the founding of the village,many decades ago."

"Can we go ,pleaseeeee?" Celeste jumped in excitement and Sheer simply smirked, nodding her head slightly.

"It's in a weeks time though. So you'll have to be patient and focus on graduating from the academy."

Happily satisfied, the two strolled on, enjoying the peacefulness and satisfaction of one another's company.

The two wandered over to a fruit stall and Sheer let Celeste go ahead to choose their variety of fruit for the next couple of days.

"Celeste. What a surprise it is to see you here." A calm male voice spoke out in a soothing and kindly tone.

Sheer was puzzled. Who would her little sister possibly know in this tiny village?

And as Sheer swivelled round, she paused.

Before her stood a man of around the same age as her, give a few years. He stood almost a head taller than Sheer and his face held a kind smile towards Celeste. His skin was smooth and tan with a deep scar slashed across his nose and his chocolatey brown hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail. He also wore the Leaf Shinobi outfit. She assumed he was any other ninja.

"I'm just doing some shopping with Sheer. Of course she's being mean about it all,not letting me have Amy dumplings."

"Ahhh, well you've got to keep your health up to standard if you want to be a fine shinobi. And this is the Sheer you've mentioned quite a bit I suppose?"

He averted his attention towards Sheer who's heart fluctuated a little. What is this feeling?
His face became serious for a moment as he studied her. But Sheer being herself,she just hid back in her turtleneck. He was very intriguing.

He then smiled again, reaching out a hand that Sheer reluctantly took. His firm grip sent sizzles throughout her body and she felt herself heat up the slightest bit.

"So i hear you're a medical ninja from the village hidden in the Waterfalls (Takigakure)?"

Sheer nodded before paying for their fruit and pulling the overfilled bags into her two arms. He could clearly tell she was struggling. Celeste looked slightly anxious, considering her older sisters was one of thee strongest kumoichis she knew. Iruka clocked on immediately.

He instantly took them from her grasp and smiled down at the relieved Sheer, who looked slightly surprised and embarrassed.

"Thank you...You didn't have to." She uttered, scratching her hair and blushing slightly.

"My pleasure! Oh and I haven't formally introduced myself. My name is Iruka Umino and I teach at the Academy."

He locked eyes with her for a moment as she put the pieces together.

"Oh, so you're Iruka Sensei to Celeste?"

He nodded cheerfully before allowing Sheer to lead the way towards their home.

"I know you two haven't been in Konoha very long. But have you found a place to stay as of yet?"

Sheer,slightly embarrassed shook her head.

"Not yet. I haven't been to see Lady Tsunade and therefore haven't got an official job yet. Ill figure something out."

The two continued to small talk as they left the market area, and despite Sheers reserved personality, she truly was beginning to enjoy chatting to Iruka. Maybe she could speak to him again?

As the group off three rounded a corner, they were brought to an u expected halt.
