Re: Chapter 4.0: Konohagkure
"Will be seeing you in three days then." With a slight bow, Kyoko departed as they all went their own separate ways. It would be the last time she spent in the street and that was heartwarming enough to see her through it without much perceived discomfort. As arbitrary as it was, that three day lull wasn't all that wasteful for her and she guessed the rest, after the stacked previous mission.
The next morning she went to look for housing solutions, sleeping outside had it's charms (far outweighed by its problems) but nothing beat having a roof over your head. Apparently prices had skyrocketed since the place was flooded with refugees from every corner of the known world, just as one would expect, the destitute and the needy simply had no opportunity of procuring themselves anything. Thankfully, she was no longer among the relatively poor, as life threatening as it had been, the paycheck also reflected that and Nakano was able to cope with how outrageously high many seemingly basic things had gotten. Around noon of that day, she found herself a perfect place, tiny, utilitarian, not much to look at but just for that reason, it remained within reasonable price and was good enough for a small gal like her, not that she was about to throw any parties at her new place.
The second day was spent acquiring the type of things that turned four walls and a roof into a livable space. Non stolen food of a wider tastier array, some furniture and utilities. By the end of it, the place still looked somewhat spartan but certainly comfortable, at least for the reduced number of people that were expected to live there. Right before closing hours she saw about replacing her missing or broken gear from last mission, that crazy woman had broken part of it in their last fight and although Kyoko doubted that she would it back for the training, it didn't hurt to be ready. The third day was spent in it's entirety resting and being lazy, A much needed and well deserved reprieve form the previous work on the mission and sorting things out back at Konoha.
By the time she arrived to the meeting place, Nakano was positively happy, a whole day dedicated to rest and having a place of her own (so as long as eh paid rent) sure helped to lift one's spirits. Moreover, this new group she was with wasn't all so bad, Shinji was a bit 'odd' but far from being outlandishly so, his seemingly good nature reminding her of the last group she was assigned with, either she got lucky or there was just some kind of unseen kinship among genin, as they shared a common plight. The squad leader, Tenshi, he was a bit dry and seemingly caught up in regulations but then again maybe once was forced to once you climbed higher in the ranks, still, he was far more reasonable and likeable than the last, which put him leagues ahead. If the tendency was to continue, Kyoko would put her money on not finding them too difficult to hang around as they got to know each other better.
"Hello again, I will be in your charge." Nakano greeted Tenshi with a soft melodious voice, in an overly polite manner as she gave Akiyama a slight bow, all just for the shake of doing it and perhaps reaping some kind of reaction that may even amuse her.
