Nakoda sighed deeply as he sat against a tree by a path, the day was warm and sunny with a light breeze that made the man's vibrant red hair sway and dance.
He was frustrated at his team. They were all three girls, and they were terrors to put up with. One was too girly- worrying about ehr hair and make up, the other was too manly, always picking a fight. The other, was well...strange.
He shrugged as he stood up and reopened his notebook of notes he had made on today's training.

Taro hopped from tree to tree, looking for something, anything he could use to his advantage. The first thing he always did when he moved to a new town was scout out the area. Being a wanted exile wasn't easy, and Taro hadn't survived for the time that he did by being careless. He came to a break in the trees. Looking below, he saw a man opening some sort of book. Perhaps the leader of a squad or something?Taro continued to wait in the tree and see what the man was going to do.

Nakoda simply read. He read, while listening. He thought he heard something, but since it was his day off...so if it was an attacker he would just have to take his chances. He read about the three girls on his team and silently pondered about his romantic past, laughing at the memories of his rather shameful record with women.
Not many girls wanted to kiss a guy who had bugs living under his skin.
He grinned a little to himself at a special memory about the time a girl proclaimed her love to him, then took it back three days later. Nakoda had never been the smoothest man..

Sensing nothing imposing about the man, Taro somersaulted down from the tree, landing lightly on his feet, he turned to the man sitting and reading in front of him. "Hey. You know of any good spots for setting up ambush around here?" Taro spoke quietly, but said the words as though he was merely asking the time of day. He peered out from behind his jet black glasses at the nonchalant shinobi sitting in front of him. Probably knew I was there the entire time...

Nakoda was plesently suprised. "Why yes, anywhere is if you know the right stuff...isnt it?" He asked as he closed the notebook. He thought a little about his guest that would be arriving soon...
Nakoda doubled as a private tutor on his day off.
"So, stange boy who just jumped out of a tree..." He laughed a little as he scratched the back of his head. "What brings you into my town?"

"Exile...escape...enemies on my trail, I need a good hiding spot..." Taro counted them off on his fingers, thinking of all the reasons why he would run from Sunagakure "All things considred, Konoha is a pretty accepting country. I'm highly prejudiced against in my homeland, so much so that I'm considered a criminal, so I came here to become stronger. And my name Taro, Taro Suudo." Taro spoke briskly, his eyes judging the man from behind the glasses that covered most of his face.

Nakoda noded and grinned. "Good reasons I guess." He said as he extended his hand. "Aburame Nakoda- Sensei and Tutor." He said as he turned his head towards a hill as he looked. "Ah, here comes one of my private students. She's quite the fighter...a little...whats the word..." He frowned. "Dangerous? Yes. Thats it. She always goes for the kill..." He said as a white haired girl came into veiw. Nakod's arm however, was still extended waiting to be shaken by Taro.
Arashi was walking toward the meeting place they had chosen. Her Sensei was a strange man, who seemed to favor taking on femal students. She felt the breeze pick up her waist length white hair as she frowned. Who's with him...Another student? she thought as she saw Nakoda's arm extended to the boy.

Dami took the mans hand and shook it, keeping his other hand hidden behind his back. Suddenly Taro pulled the man close, and whispered in his ear, "Can I trust you?" This was taking a huge risk on Taro's part, but it could be hugely beneficial. He barely noticed the white haired girl entering the scene.

"Sure. As long as you behave I have no reason to tell anyone." Nakoda said as he pulled away, bright grin on his face. Anyone could tell it was forced and fake. "Well if it isn't my little princess huh?" He asked as he opened his arms for a hug. He knew these actions always annoyed and embarrased his student, and he took slight pleasure in her anger.
Arashi walked past her Sensei coldly. "Shove it." She said simply as she stood infront of Taro. "Your not from around here are you?" She asked in a half curious, half threating tone. She didn't trust her Sensei's judgement of character, and needed to see this boys proof of good intentions herself. "Hatake Arashi." She said simply.

"Taro Suudo." Taro replied. He turned back to Nakoda. "This is the difference between my life or death, you see, i'm the last of the Tsudo clan, as far as I know." He looked at Arashi. Taro wasn't usually this trusting, but he felt he didn't have a choice at this point. He'd been on the run from the Sunagakurian black ops for a while now, and he was going to need allies and friends if he was to make it out alive.

Nakoda felt a surge of pitty for the boy. He couldn't imagine the pain he must feel, being the last of his clan. He also knew Arashi's habbit of trying to redem her sins of killing in battle through doing good deeds else where. He knew this was wrong, and manipulative of him but he decided to do it anyway. He snaked over to Arashi and whispered "This boy could bring you that redemption your searching for if you so hard." She said tauntingly.
Arashi heard her Sensei's words and shuddered a little. Could hiding this boy really do that? She thought as she closed her eyes. "Feel free to hide in my attic. No ones goes up there." She offered in her delicate voice, which was less hostile now. "Just an offer...if your running..." She said as she unfolded her arms and gave a small sigh. She hated being overly nice. It felt fake.

Taro was surprised by this offer. Although he was pretty sure that Nakoda had set it up with Arashi, it still felt personal. "Thank you very much Arashi. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, its only for a little while until I can buy my own room somewhere. But I must warn you, both of you," Taro stopped and looked at the two shinobi standing in front of him. "Some very powerful ninja are after me. Anyone still loyal to the former Kazekage will want my head. I've probably got some of the black ops of Sunagakure sniffing around for me as well. Are you sure you wont mind?"

"No problem." Nakoda said. "But since our ties with the new Kazekage are strong, I'm sure Hokage-sama or Naruto could talk him out of it." He said waving it off with his hand. He knew Gaara was the new Kazekage, and couldn't picture the fellow redhead sending black ops to chase a former Kazekage's old goals.
"You mean I'll get good fights out of it?" she said and laughed. "Just stay as long as you like. My advice would be to avoid my dad...he'd be a little shocked if he found out I was hiding a boy in my attic, let alone a fugitive at that." she said and grined a little as she pictured her fat, white haired father yelling while her sleek and slender mother cried. The thought ammused her deeply.

"Thank you, I'm very grateful." Taro looked around taking stock of his surroundings. "So...where exactly am I?" Great...your scoping out ambush spots before you even know your bearings. Smooth move. Dami looked back at Nakoda, a little embarrased at this blunder. "I thought I was being tailed so I made a beeline for the nearest Konoha border."

Nakoda laughed with his million dollar smile showing brightly. "Your on training ground #23." He said and shurgged. "Thats understandable I guess." He said. He couldn't imagine the kids fear, a chunnin facing black ops...
Arashi just shrugged. "So are you a student of Nakoda's?" she asked as she looked at him Whats up with those glasses? she thought silently as her eyes narrowed in on them. She unknowingly tilted her head a little to get a better veiw.
