Ramen with some homies!

Tatusya had a busy and hard day. He met three new friends and gained a new element through a spar he had with Jason.
Walking into the noodle bar Tatusya noticed that it had grown in size. Their was still the bar but Tatusya saw that their were a few sit down places as well. Finding a spot the held 5 people and has walls around it making it a bit more privet Tatsuya sits cross legged on a pillow at the head of the table awaiting for the others to arrive. 
This set up was a little more formal but this way they could all talk to each other.

Jason had been hanging around the village ramen shop ever since he came back from the forest earlier. He was supposed to be meeting his new friends here but he couldn't remember what time. He saw Tatsuya was the first to arrive so he decided to come down from his place on the roof of a nearby building. He had been laying there having a silent telepathic conversation with his fox Nami when he noticed Tatsuya. Now Jason would enter the shop after him and look around.
He noticed Tatsuya sitting cross legged at the head of a table that would seat 5 people. Jason would give a small smirk at that. It seemed his imagination had gotten the better of him, thinking of a secret meeting with Tatsuya leading it and that was why he sat at the head of the table. Shaking the foolish thought he would make his way over to the table and sit down on Tatsuya's right.

"Hey there. I guess I'm the first to show up?" he would say to Tatsuya with a smile.

After a relatively long day, Risako would find her self heading toward a ramen stand to visit some of her new friends and acquaintances. Now, this evening probably wouldn't be as interesting as the forest earlier but at least there would plenty to talk about. Unless... she was wrong and one of them starts a fight or something. Hopefully that wouldn't happen, but anyway, she was nearing the stand now, and she would notice Tatsuya and Jason already sitting. If she was late, at least she wasn't the latest. With a quick "Hey," she would plop her self down on Tatsuya's left.

Tatsuya sitting down sees Jason walking into the ramen bar. He was a very prompted and respectable man. Tatsuya had grown more fondly of Jason and Tatusya sees them two to become powerful shinobie. 
Standing up Tatsuay gives Jason a hand shake and says.

"Hey Janson ans yes it seems that you are the first to arrive."

With both of them sitting down Tatsuya wonders if the others will come to his invitation as Tatusya did have things that he wished to talk about. Having this thought Risako walks in. 

"Hey Risako" Tatsuya says. Once she sits down he asks her. "Do you know if Lucas will be coming?" 
Tatusya did not really know that much about Lucas and from his fist interpretations it did not seem that he was too interested in being a ninja as he was not interested in watching Jason and Tatusya spar. 
No matter this would be a good place to get to know him.

[So i though about waiting for every one to go but people can just come in when they can.]

[that's fine. Lukas was at school but should be posting in here some time tonight]

Risako had arrived to the Ramen bar shortly after Jason had sat down. It seemed he wouldn't have to wait very long for this new gathering of friends. He had hoped Lukas and Kasai would show up soon as well as he wanted to speak to everyone. For now he was content with just talking to Tatsuya and Risako.

"Hey Risako, whats up?" he would say to the young girl who had made herself opposite Jason on Tatsuya's left. She was an interesting  girl to say the least and Jason had a strong feeling he would be seeing a lot more of her along with the rest of the group that would soon be gathered around the table, almost as if they were all fated to meet.

This being the entertaining food outing that it was, the conversation began to pick up. Starting with Tatsuya's question, she would put her elbows up on the table, (WHAT!? BAD MANNERS!?) and lock her fingers together, her palms not touching, like an new couple that did that awkward hug where their waists don't touch. "I'm assuming he'll be here, his stomach seems to be a bottomless pit." She would dart her eyes to Jason, "Nothing much, you?" Her mind contained only a few questions. Such as: Who were the Akatsuki that they mentioned earlier? Why were they missing-nin? What was Nami's story? Why was Lukas alwas so hungry? Did his parents not feed him? What was Monkey Man's deal? Etc. Basically just stuff to get to know everyone better.

It was around this time that Kasai would drift in, unnoticed.
He quickly surveyed the place. He had been here once before, he remembered. Before he met the demon. Before the leader of akatsuki had marked him, and tracked them down. Back when he knew peace in the world. Perhaps it would return that way. Perhaps the demons were in slumber for a while. If they indeed were, that would give Kasai the time he needed. The time to create a team, and gather students, and train this village in its name-sake of the land of fire. Perhaps...
"Hello, Tatsuya, and Jason, and Risako. Forgive me of my tardiness; I seem to have lost myself staring into the glow of the sun."
He glanced around once more, quickly, eyes piercing through the mask he wore. He would then make his way to sit opposite Tatsuya, not wishing to be cramped and sit directly next to the others. Not in any way a sign of disrespect, but rather simple courtesy. 
"Enjoyable as a friendly meeting may be, it seems to me that you have called us for a purpose more, friend," Kasai directed towards Tatsuya. 
He felt it strongly, and would be surprised if there was no true reason. However, if there was a reason, and he did believe there were, he was quite intrigued as to what it might be.

Lukas was slowly walking through town when he say the man with the mask,the one from earlier that day. "Crap!" Lukas said to himself,he had forgotten about the scheduled ramen meeting. He had just eaten some rice balls but hey, he can still eat. Lukas had slowly followed the masked man while keeping a reasonable distance between them two. He didn't want to seem like a stalker, walking in right behind the man,so he had waited about three minutes before he entered the ramen shop.

As he entered he scanned for the group in the shop. His search stopped when he found the four of them sitting at a more private table.The seat left was the one next to Risako, as soon as he saw this he began to get nervous for some unknown reason. As he approached he said "Hey everyone. Sorry I'm late, I strangely forgot about the meeting." "Anything new going on with y'all?" He said as he sat next down next to Risako.

Before Tatusya knew it every one had showed up and taken their seat at the table. With the few words exchanged Tatsuya says hello to Kasai and Lucas and tells them not to worry about their timing. Enjoying watching the four talk Tatusya asks for five order sheets and a round of water.  Of course Tatsuay would like to say a round of Sakie but sadly they were all minors.
No matter they had worked hard and the water would be good for their systems.
When the forms come out Tatusya says in a joking manner.

"Okay Lucas no heaving breathing when you order." He says with a chuckle.

When every one begins to fill out their order form Tatusya glances at Kasai and then leans over to Jason and whispers.

"Do you think he takes off his mask to eat?"

Tatusya had never seen Kasai's face and Tatusya had also never really been around Kasai when eating.
Tatusya smiles looking forward to see what Kasai does when eating.

Finishing his card Tatusya orders the basic ramen with pork miso broth and many vegetables. Tatsuya had not yet decided if he would be a vegetarian, but Tatusya will try to at least reduce his meat consumpti

"Do you think he takes off his mask to eat?"

With a sly grin on his face Jason would whisper back "He has to right? It's not like he can eat through it. Let's watch and see what he does." Jason was glad to see all of his friends now easily talking to each other about things. It gave him an excitement in his chest that washed over his entire being. Even though everyone here seemed to being enjoying themselves, when Jason and Tatsuya were done ordering, Jason leaned toward Tatsuya and would whisper to him "I'm glad to see everyone made it and is enjoying themselves but I can't shake the feeling you gathered us here for other reasons. I'd like to know what it is that's on your mind my friend." Jason knew he was right and so he would sit straight and await Tatsuya's response to him, trying not to disturb the others' conversation until Tatsuya was ready to speak to all of them.
