Two side of a coin (Chaos and Fox)

Soren had been really excited that Niiro agreed to train him. Even though some things about his team member bothered him, he was willing to try and make things work out. He was at a nearby training area reading a book within the village of Iron. Their were a few local shops around and the smell of Ramen filled the air. He wasn't hungry yet, but by the time he finished with his book he would be. He had just got done training by himself not too long ago, and was going to rest here before getting something to eat and heading home. Soren had on his usual hoody, but it was zipped up due to the cold temperature. He read quietly while leaned against a tree and would be done with his book soon.

Kasumi coughed a few times as she walked about, minding her own buisness and letting her thoughts carry her away. These past few days were filled with training and meeting new people, or should she saw person. Closing her eyes and snorting lightly, the thought of a male came to her mind and that male's name was Soren. Now there was nothing wrong with this boy, and he showed a lot of potential possibly even more so than herself when she was a genin. But something about him did not sit well with her, it was not that he was bad he was just to cocky for her taste. Her aimless walking mixed with her being lost in her thoughts brought Kasumi to one of the training grounds, and to her surprise and slight annoyance who would she find. ' Hello Soren.." Walking over to him she smiled as she noticed him reading, maybe they can get on a better terms today and get to know each other better, if he was going to be working with her they might as well got along. Walking over to him she sat down next to him, propping her back up against the tree. " What are you reading?" She asked coolly to break the ice.

Soren had just been finishing up the second to last chapter on the history of the samuri. He was almost done with it and was excited to get to the end. He was a big history buff and loved how detailed this book was and the way of the samuri. Although most ninja didn't get along with samuri that much, Soren admired their courage and honor. Something that most shinobi lacked now days. As he turned the page, he looked and saw Kasumi a few feet away from him. He knew their last encounter was a little rough, but he knew the value of team work so he might as well try to get to know her. When not in the heat of battle, she was actually kind of cute. Although she was a little rude, he could easily get over that. Soren then smiled as she sat down and said, "Oh it is just a history book on the samuri. I love history." Soren then wondered if she liked reading to, "So do you read any interesting books?" Soren made sure to save his spot on his page and closed the book to show that he was interested in knowing more about her.

So he was smart, or at least that was the assumption she made from what he said about his liking for history. This kid wasent so bad, he was actually pleasant to be around. " No...I'm not the reading sort..I mean I don't mind it, but I much rather be around people most of the time...Or eating." A light chuckle escaped her lips as she said this because it was true, people and eating were her interest, even if they were slightly odd for a girl like her. Her purple/blue eyes looked out at the field as she began to fold her legs in a crisscross manner. " Do you read other things besides history?" Speaking calmly as she gathered information on her partner that way she could get to know him a bit. A small grumble came from her stomach, but she ignored it she didn't want to seem rude and break off the conversation.

Soren smirked as she listened to him. It had been a long time sense anyone had actually taken interest in what he said. Soren put his book up and said, "Well I do read other things such as fiction novels and other things, but mainly i focus on history." Soren the chuckled and said, "So you like people and food huh? Well certain people I am ok with, but food. That is one thing I can agree on right their. I love food." Soren's stomach growled and he smiled and laughed as Kasumi's did too. He said, "Would you like to grab some ramen or something. I forgot to eat after training. Some times I get so interested in my books, that I forget things like that." Soren then got up and said, "Oh and it is my treat by the way." Soren held out his hand at Kasumi in order to help her up in a gentleman like manner. He then waited for her response.

Kasumi didn't know why she thought Soren was an annoying little snot, maybe it was just in the heat of battle. Smiling she grabbed his hand and got up brushing the debris off of her backside. Stretching she nodded and smiled. " Thanks Soren...I would love some ramen right about now actually..Sempai's training has been making me hungry than the usual." Scratching the back of her head and laughing lightly, she began to walk in the direction of the ramen shop. " I'm a big eater..I'll go half in on the meal." She didn't want to seem rude as her sempai so put her when the two had first met Soren. The smell of the ramen and various other morsels made her mouth water, looking over at Soren she blinked some and smiled at him. " This could be the start of a very rewarding friendship " She thought to herself.

Soren saw Kasumi smile when she grabbed his hand. As he was pulling her up he started to notice a lot more about her. More than he had before. He noticed how attractive she was when she wasn't trying to pound him into the ground. He then let her hand go and said, "Yea sempai loves to put you through the ringer a time or two when he trains you. It isn't the easiest training but it works so I am not complaining." He then started to walk with her and said with a chuckle, "Well I am not a very big eater, but right now I feel like I could eat my weight in ramen." Soren then replied, "I really don't mind paying for the both of us, but if you want to pay for yourself I wont stop you." Soren then smiled and opened the door to the ramen shop and waited for Kasumi to enter. He said, "Ladies first as always," with a smile.
