It was still morning when Isais had Yuumaru delivered to his assigned lodging in at the Glacial Motel, and so our hero decided to leave the motel and explore the village. He was fully clothed in Hidden Glacier attire, complete with a Hyouga headband given to him by his sensei, Isais. If you haven't been keeping up with Yuumaru's adventures, well then you're missing out. But anyways, Yuumaru was here to train with the Kage of the village secretly, and when be met Yoshi-chan, protecting her from bandits who wanted her bijuu also became a priority for our hero.

The Third Main Street was as always brimming with people. Even though it was just morning, shops were filled with seemingly endless lines, especially the breakfast food chains. The lamps from last night had not even been turned off yet and already the streets were so condensed that peddlers with carts had a hard time getting through, and yells and shouts were heard all around as people wanted to get where they needed to be. It was a typical morning rush hour in the Hidden Glacier village, but for our hero, it was all a very new sight. He had grown up in Kusamura after all, where the population is only one. Yes, he was the only one in Kusamura right now. Other than Yoshi-chan, of course. She is just taking a vacation, that's all. But yeah other than that no one was in Kusa. Even the Kage was nowhere to be found.

And so understandably our hero felt pretty lonely sometimes. He hasn't seen his best friend Yuri Onmyoton, as well, for a long time. His Yuri senses were always tingling, making him mad because he senses that other people were hitting on Yuri. Of course, our hero had no *coughs* feelings for Yuri. It was all just a platonic friendship.. right? And if you're wondering what the heck is Yuri senses it is a special sense only Yuumaru has just like Yuri has Yuumaru senses.

Anyways, our hero was looking for someone new to talk to. He was okay with either gender. Okay that came out wrong. He was heterosexual, but he was okay making friends with both genders. For some strange reason however, our hero had always got along with the female gender better. Maybe because he was more sensitive than other guys? Maybe because he was cute and girls talked to him more than they did to other guys? Maybe both? Suddenly, Yuumaru was taken by an aroma he knew very well: Kusamura coffee!

Kusamura was allied to Hyouga according to Isais, and so Kusa is allowed to ship its premium coffee to the secretive village of Hidden Glacier. Yuumaru wasted no time and hurried inside the coffee shop. Time to get me some Tiramisu Latte! our hero thought excitedly. When the barista finally handed him his drink, Yuumaru sat down on the only table left in the filled coffee shop. It was rush hour after all. As our hero looked around, however, he felt so out of place as everyone else seemed to have someone else next to them or sitting in front of them. Someone to talk to. Someone to drink coffee with. Our hero did his best to curb the negative thoughts swirling to his mind, and also the loneliness that crept into his heart. But it was to no avail. Even though he couldn't shake off his loneliness, our hero was good at hiding his emotions, and so he had a facade of joy on his face. Besides, this was the way to go be ause, as his grandfather taught him, "no one will approach a guy who looks like a roach" meaning you won't get talked to if you frown a lot. And so, our hero smiled a little bit without looking like a psycho, and tried his best to give off a friendly vibe.

If only someone could go into the coffee shop and drink with our hero, it would be really awesome.

Nephthys was walking through the street of main street thinking about what she could do to day on her day off. Walking into the coffee shop Nephthys spotted nothing but mongrels and no empty seats except by some cheerful mongrel who was sitting by himself going to get a chocolate cinnamon swirl latte she would then return to the cheerful mongrel sitting at the only table without anyone. She would pull out a chair across from him and swirl her latte with a stirrer. This had to be the most embarrassing moments for her sitting next to a pathetic mongrel below her. Nephthys was dressed in a white jacket with a black lace front vest and white shorts. Looking up at him for a quick second she would then ask him a question "Mongrel why are you sitting at this table and why do you look so cheerful?" she said in a harsh tone. Turning towards the exit she would watch as more people started to pile into the cafe. This had to be the worst time for her to be going to a cafe knowing it would be rush hour, but what the hell when it is the best cafe in the entire world anybody would come here at any time.

Nephthys started lean back in her chair until the owner would come over and put her chair back on all four legs "Mongrel you dare touch me and my chair?" she said before turning around. The owner would then lift his brow before speaking to her "Ah little Nephthys you do understand that you don't pay the bills for this place so you own nothing in here right? and lets not forget that if you get in any kind of trouble before you meet your sensei and squad mates you can easily be taking back to the academy right? So I suggest you to be kinder to my customers and to behave yourself." he told her before going back into his office. She would then sigh as soon as he walks off looking up at the boy in front of her "Fine I guess if my life depends on it, I guess you are worthy to sit here." she told the mongrel boy before continuing to drink her latte.

(OOC: Hey, thanks for "waking me up" in a sense last night in the C-Box. I also forgot to say thanks to you before I went on my week hiatus. You're awesome, and okay, no more drama from me from now on. I'm out of the C-Box forever.)

Yuumaru was deep in his thoughts, thinking about the fact that he wasn’t himself lately, when suddenly a girl pulled a chair and sat across from him. Yuumaru saw that she was wearing a stylish white jacket with a black vest on top, with matching white shorts. She had flowin silver hair, and there was something hanging behind her… was that a tail?! Unlike the girls that he’d met before, namely Yuri and Yoshi, this girl had an intimidating aura about her. Our hero was both surprised and stung when she called him a “mongrel” and when she asked him about his natural cheerful disposition. Yuumaru was about to reply with a comeback but when the girl leaned back on her chair, the owner of the cafe suddenly came behind the girl and pushed back her chair on its four legs. Once again, the girl lashed out, this time towards the owner, calling him a “mongrel.” This girl has some guts… the owner of this cafe is well known to be a rabblerouser, and many a customer was kicked out if they bothered other people. But I guess these two knew each other? The girl then sighed and allowed our hero to sit with her. What the heck? I was the first one to sit here…


Yuumaru took a sip of his Tiramisu latte, the best coffee in the best cafe in the world. Our hero had good taste, after all. After sipping, he took another look at the girl, without saying a word for the next two seconds. The girl looked about his age, maybe 15 or 16? And her unfriendly attitude was quite intriguing indeed. Her use of the word “mongrel” was also very strange. Yuumaru has never heard anyone using that word so freely as this girl, and for some strange reason, our hero found it very funny and cute. Yuumaru decided that she will be worthy of becoming friends with him, the renowned Blue Beast. He replied to the girl in a polite manner. “Thanks for sitting next to me. It was getting quite lonely here. Usually I like talking to someone before my coffee got cold.” Touching his coffee and feeling that it was still warm, our hero continued with a friendly smile, “Oh, I guess you’re not too late.”

Swirling his Tiramisu latte, “Before we have a nice conversation I would like to know who you are. My name is Aoki Yuumaru, a Hyouga Genin.” Yuumaru pointed at his Hyouga headband, given to him by Isais, to avoid suspicion from the girl. If you haven’t been keeping up with the greatest story in Naruto Legacy, Yuumaru was in Hyouga to secretly train with Isais, and he changed his surname from Senju to Aoki, meaning “Blue Tree” (OOC: get it? Cause he is a Senju and Senjus are known for Mokuton, and his nickname was Blue Beast) to avoid suspicion from Glacier villagers.

"Oh my goddess. Mongrel just because you sit here doesn't mean I have to talk to you, but since you are so eager to know who you sit in front of I guess I can tell you. I am Nephthys Murciélago genin of the Blizzard, and who are you really I never seen you before in the academy?" She asked narrowing her eyes at him. "Maybe you are a genin of Hyougagakure I never did really acknowledge mongrels in the academy." she said laughing and drinking her latte before adding three spoons of sugar to her latte. She had no intentions of talking to this man anymore than she had to, but she was curious as to why this mongrel was so cheerful and carefree. "If I didn't allow you to sit here what would you do? I am not that willing to let mongrels sit with me. I expect you to have something to keep me entertained." She said pushing her latte to the side as she finished drinking it. She turned to see two people start to fight each other over a simple debate over coffee. "Haha silly mongrels always such a thrill to watch them fight each other." she said turning her chair towards the fight.
