<One day ago><br/><br/>"So..tomorrow hmm ?"<br/><br/>Kyosuke's father took the bishop between his fingers and was holding the wedge-shaped piece above the playboard without choosing a definite position yet.<br/><br/>"Yes, father, tomorrow." Said Kyosuke, running one hand in his hair.<br/>Both father and son were sitting outside the Nara's house. The porch where they were playing led to a large garden, where was echoing the rhythmic sound of a bamboo water fountain hitting a flat stone.<br/><br/>"Aren't you nervous Kyosuke ? wondering who will be part of the same team than you ?"<br/><br/>The young man smiled briefly, before moving his arms up, crossing his hands behind his head. They were both sitting on the parquet floor of the porch and Kyosuke could see two reasons for his father to speak about such a subject while they played Shogi.<br/>His father was not going to win this game and so was either trying to distract him to regain the upper hand, or was really curious about his son's state of mind, and in that case, the game would soon not matter anymore.<br/><br/>"No..I'm not nervous or curious..." he said before stretching his arms up and letting them fall on his side. "Why are you asking ? Aren't we supposed to play this game seriously ?"<br/><br/>Kyosuke's father smiled and tapped the piece of wood on the side of the playboard.<br/>"It's the third game we do in a row, and I know you've already won in...3 moves, wherever I place the bishop. Question is, son, on such a playboard, where will you fit ? We already discussed what the King of a shogi game represents...all shinobis will defend their King, and they can represent various piece of this game.. even a pawn can make you win this game. So, where will you fit Kyosuke ? And are you only ready to be one piece of this game ?"<br/><br/>Kyosuke's father moved the small piece of wood he had in one hand up, above the playboard, and let it fall, indicating the game was over.<br/><br/>Kyosuke frowned and observed his father changing of position, standing on his feet and walking inside the house, these words now printed inside his mind. He whispered:<br/><br/>"Ksss...man...this was supposed to be the brightest day...not anymore..."<br/><br/><Now><br/><br/>Team vision. Senju Shimura and Hyuuga Kayo. So these were his team mates. The name given could mean they would be specialized in detection and survey...maybe reckon. In that case the capacities of Kayo would be helpful.<br/>But Shimura ? From what he remembered of the days spent in academy or outside school...beside his frequent napping, he always saw Shimura alone.<br/><br/>Kyosuke moved once again his hands behind his head, not walking away or approaching any other chuunins.<br/><br/>The other team, team shout, was constituted of Kegawa, Kaya and Katashi. With Kegawa's companion, that team was also skilled in detection and would also be efficient in reckon mission. In fact, the teams were well balanced, and no relationships could be made with the shinobis making the teams and the names given.<br/><br/>Kyosuke sighed. He observed Kayo approaching and smiled as she spoke a few words. He didn't have the time to give her an answer that already Shimura had replied, quite coldly to her. Kyosuke's eyes rolled up, and he fixed the sky high above him for a few seconds. A warm breeze moved around him, bringing the scent of petals of cherry tree.<br/><br/>"Kss...times are changing" he muttered for himself. Then his face moved down, and he looked at both Shimura and Kayo. He smiled brightly:<br/><br/>"Great ! I'm happy to be with you Kayo and Shimura !" His hands left the back of his skull and he moved one of them towards his teammates, hoping to shake Kayo's and Shimura's hands in a friendly way.<br/><br/>
