Christmas Party [Private]

[Uchiha Takeshi]

Takeshi stood in the main hall of the Uchiha clan house, it had been decorated in festive ornaments with a Christmas tree standing tall in the corner, it seemed that all preparations had been made for this night and all the invitations had been sent. Today they would be holding everyone else in this house as the end of the year was coming, Takeshi allowed himself to smile as he looked around at those working on making sure the last of the preparations were done, it seemed that the table had been laid and the food was cooking ready for everyone. A small drinks bar stood in the corner of the room allowing people to help themselves to whatever drink they wanted throughout the evening.

Takesh walked out of the room as he allowed himself to change, gone where the usual gear he wore and in was the more traditional wear that he had, the clan coat on today as it showed the Uchiha coat of arms, he was hosting for a formal Christmas evening and hoped that everything would sooth over with tonight, it would give them all a chance to meet and speak out of their roles inside the village an opportunity that rarely came by it would seem. Takeshi allowed himself to make sure his clothes were in check before going back to the main hallway where the Uchiha clan guards stood, as he turned to the men.

“Guests will be arriving soon, please escort them into the main room where we will be hosting, remember they are honoured guests and treat them as such, the gate guards at the front will be vetting them before letting them passing them threw the gates. They will then be brought here. I want this evening to go as smooth as possible the potential to build relationships is to high for you to ruin it by doing something stupid. So remember your jobs and make sure you follow them to the letter”

Takeshi allowed himself to smile as the guards nodded in acknowledgement for the orders that they had been given, it seemed that everything was in order as he walked back into the main room checking on the progress of food it seemed that it was time for Christmas to start and Takeshi already had a small pile of gifts under the tree as he allowed himself to smile slightly wondering what people would make of the unexpected gifts that he would be giving out.

The last thing left was when Yuki arrived ot make sure she was prepared for the night, he allowed himself to leave her to that part. Instead going to the desk and pouring himself a drink as he lifted up the whiskey he allowed himself to sip from the glass, knowing that he was still not acting as a Sennin he hoped that this gesture would at least be taken for what it was. A peace offering at this time of year to all that came and freindships to be renewed. He had to admit he looked forward to seeing Maki once more, his friend calmed him inside.

[OOC: Invited Umashi, Yomi, Kenshin, Tamashii, Mikasa, Maki, Yuki to this topic and a +1 if they wish]

 

[Kishiko Nagisa]

Kenshin had no holiday plans as he normally did around such times. He had already sent a large package to Stone to his parents and extended family. He had decorated the academy with lights and baubles. His own office/living quarter had a small tree in it. Therefore, Kenshin was surprised to say the least that he received an invitation.

Not knowing the custom of such, at least not in leaf he decided it would be appropriate to at least bring alcohol. Kenshin rarely drank but this seemed to be such an occasion to indulge. So he bought some higher end red wines and went to the Uchiha manor. Tonight, instead of his regular garb of their work uniform or workout attire, Kenshin wore a "dress up" version of his casual clothes, which was red pants with a green tunic and undershirt with a collar. He would approach the main gates and find himself accosted by some guards. He fished out the passport and even let the wine be "tested" for poisoning. If he had been the type, he could have poisoned the bottles for that reason alone and knock out the guards.

He made his way inside and handed off the bottles as needed.

"Well met Takeshi. How are things going on your end of things?"

 

[Haku Yuki]

Yuki sat on the edge of her bed looking at the dress that had been laid out on the bed for her it was a watery blue silk with a silver belt, it was beautiful she stood up picking up the garment placing it against her body. The Haku ran her hands over the dress, before deciding to put it on. She could feel the soft silk in her fingers as she slipped the dress over herself fastening it at the back, she walked over to the full-length mirror and looked at the women that stood in front of her she smiled, Takeshi had good taste. She adjusted her hair, allowing soft curls to fall over her shoulders and down the back of her neck once she was sure that she was presentable she looked away from the mirror to a large white box that was placed on the side, she took it and out of the bedroom her heel clicking down the corridor as she walked.

The house was in a state of high alert was retainers and maids ran through the corridors panicking and fretting over last minutes details of the night festivities, the female rolled her eyes and smiled it was rather amusing to see them all so disoriented, diverting from the normal route to the main hall she passed by the room of the only other non-Uchiha, other than the servants, that called the mansion home, she peaked her head around his door finding that he was probably still in the hospital under the care of the Med-Chief. It looked like his gift would have to be delivered, she grabbed one of the passing servants and handed them the box with instructions to get it send to Yukio. Yuki continued down the hallway taking one of the lesser known stairways towards the main hall.

As Yuki reached the bottom of the stairway she saw Takeshi speaking to the house guards, once the had left she approached him, she stood in front of him and spun around a little.
"And?" She didn't wait for his reply and embraced him, kissing him on the cheek she took him to her arms, she smiled at him and readjusted his tie. She looked deep into his eyes and smiled it was very rare that they could have times like this, Yuki just hoped that it would go without a hitch. Her time alone with him, however, was short-lived as the first of the guest arrived. Kenshin walked into the main hall and towards Takeshi, he greeted Takeshi.
“Welcome to our home Kenshin, if you like to help yourself to a drink before the other guest arrive,” Yuki bowed a little to show respect for his rank, it was strange having other people in the house, she had to admit it did make it feel less empty.

 

[Yomi]

Yomi presssed her pen down on her fancy parchment as she wrote her reply. It was thoughtful to include her and the Hokage in their festivities, but, alas, they could not attend in good conscious. Bringing triplets to a decidedly adult affair was unfair to the rest of the attendees and she wouldn't be able to do much by way of being a good guest if she was busy minding the children. They were still far too young to be out and about with her, especially the way that she liked to party. She hoped that the Uchicha did not feel slighted, but, if he did, she'd remind him that he too missed her party.

Folding the letter she taped it gently to the gift box before making sure the bow was just right. She sent Asuka to drop it off the gift at the Uchiha clan house before the festivities began. Inside the box, they would find 2 bottles of vintage Fire Water from their personal stash. It was largely unavailable now, however, they were good at getting the rare stocks.

Dearest Takeshi,

Thank you for the invitation. We regret to inform you that Umashi and I will be unable to attend. The new additions to our family have kept us quite busy and we do not think it would be appropriate to leave them so soon. (Or ruin your party with cranky children) We are sure you and Yuki throw amazing parties and we are sad to be missing out.

Please accept this as a token of our appreciation for the invite.

Happy Holidays!

- Kaisenami Yomi
&
Kaisenami Umashi

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

Spoiler

Grasping upon the handle bars, Mikasa wheels the recovering Hyuuga Yukio to the Uchiha Manor - mostly for additional entertainment purposes. Fortunately, the ANBU operative no longer in the state of requiring a body cast, on the orders of the medical chief to utilize his body as less as possible; nearly mended and soon to require physical therapy to regain lost strength. "Your ivory hair is nearly as long as mine now, Yukio-kun." she murmurs, tenderly streaming her digits through the shinobi's mane, "To be honest with you, a braid should be considered." she jests continuing to to press forward through the elegant garden entrance.

Glancing downwards at her own attire, the medical chief felt a bit odd, a coral dress with a vibrant symphony of hues mimicking a sunset, "I feel as if I am not one for these affairs." she murmurs only audible for the pair to hear as she ventures forward to the main entrance - taking notice of Yuki's attire and the two gentlemen. Widening her grin she allows Yukio the freedom of wheeling himself about for the moment, bowing her head respectfully to her colleague, "Yuki-san, its been awhile. I hope all has been well?" she begins, extending her hand outwards towards the kunoichi, "You look stunning." Mikasa comments in a brisk tone, raising a brow towards Takeshi's unusual Uchiha attire, "At least he cleans up well." she jests and motions towards Kenshin.

Crossing across the room, Mikasa gently extends her hand outwards towards the host, "Yukio-kun is my plus one, since neither of us could find another." she grins, "Plus it gets him out of the byoin for a bit. Speaking of which, he is soon to be cleared. You can have him back." she chuckles lightly, pivoting about to reclaim the handles of the wheelchair, guiding the Hyuuga clansmen over to Takeshi, leaving him nearby to converse with the two gentlemen; the medical chief returning over to Yuki.​

[Shirai Sadao]

He was not expecting anyone to visit at that time, however, this would quickly prove to be wrong, a box arriving for him apparently from the Uchiha household. It was not likely to be from Takeshi for he was not one to send such things out to him if anything it could be from anyone within the household but who was to be seen. Being quickly informed it was from Yuki only made him more confused tilting his head to wonder what could have been delivered. Much to his surprise, he found a rather nice looking Kimono inside though he did wonder what it was for. That was by the by the polite thing would be at least to try it on to see how it would look on his person, it took some time safe to say he was quite pleased no one was present to see what had occurred managing to regain his seated position.

As Mikasa walked in he asked no questions allowing himself to be removed from the room with little to no argument, it was more than a pleasure to be let out of his hospital room the fresh air being a gentle touch in his quite pale skin. leaning his head back as he felt her digits go through his hair Yukio's head leaned back his eyes closed somewhat enjoying the moment "You would be correct there, it's longer than I ever thought it would get though I can't say I don't like it. Just need some fixing up from time to time" his eyes wandering across the garden he had quickly come to realise how lucky he truly was to live in such a place being a member of the Hyuuga clan being allowed to walk the household of such a clan could only be considered an honour.

The wheelchair was something he wasn't too sure about however being somewhat embarrassed about having to be moved around without being able to move himself, but it was something he had grown used to over the weeks spent within the hospital complex not being allowed or able to make his own action not without a very stern look quickly putting him back into his place. He couldn't help but admire those of the medical branch for that their dedication to work being something Yukio found admirable.

Hearing Mikasa speak he couldn't help but smile being in much the same position himself, safe to say he wasn't very comfortable with social situations like this one either. Though he had been stunned into silence at the Medical Chiefs attire he was so used to seeing her in the normal medical attire this shined the maiden in a new light giving her a slow nod speaking in a similar tone as she to avoid others listening "Do not be concerned you look wonderful, its best to make the most of peaceful times like these."

Bowing his head slightly in greeting to all those present he gazed across who were currently in the household feeling somewhat out of place with so many notable individuals in leaf, but that was nothing to be truly concerned about this would be a time to enjoy a break being out the hospital. "A pleasure to see you all again, I do apologise about my current predicament" Being moved over to Takeshi he relaxed in the chair a gentle smile crossing his face as she left him with them tilting his head to his teacher to speak to him. "Good to see you, and you to Kenshin. I do believe we have never met though i have heard of your actions." his tone was alot more relaxed than would normally be expected but then again attempting to fit into the environment was somewhat a challenge all on its own.

 

[Uchiha Takeshi]

Takeshi turned himself to the attention of the arrivals it seemed that everyone had turned up and this was a good turn out one that Takeshi was still happy to go with in those few seconds. It seemed that Kenshin would be the first one to greet the Uchiha as he allowed himself to smile for a few seconds towards the man he knew full well that the man still had work to be done but he would be making sure that they enjoyed a night of not talking about work and just enjoying a nice night off for each other and everyone there.

“It is going well Kenshin, how are you doing during this time, I hope you enjoy yourself tonight I know we have not had much time to actually speak together so its good to see you outside of your normal duties, I must say that this time it seems to have been a much nicer atmosphere to meet in”

Takeshi allowed himself to glance over Yuki it seemed that she was growing in beauty each day, he simply beamed a smile back to her to let her know that she was looking radiant as always as he looked at the other people who had turned up, it seemed that Yukio had been dragged along and that caught the attention of Takeshi straight away though he didn’t say anything about it instead just allowing himself to stay silent. As he looked at Mikasa and Yukio he allowed a small smile to come to his lips as it was clear that there was something in the wood work here. Though Takeshi allowed himself to look at the two of them and smile as he allowed himself to slip a hand around Yuki’s waist he watched Yukio and Mikasa move up.

“Pleasure to see you both here, it seemed that’s you got the invitation its always a please to be in the company of someone as kind as yourself Mikasa, and it seems that you have spent some time with Yukio at least he has had company during his stay in the hospital. It seems that you two have gotten close..”

Takeshi allowed himself to smile as he closed his eyes it was one of those creepy smiles that the ANBU Sennin had gotten used to, though he pondered for a few minutes before deciding to speak, allowing his free hand to come up and take a sip from the drink, the other hand still wrapped around Yuki’s waist as he allowed the drink to slide down his throat slowly before addressing them once more.

“Its ok if you want you can have him for a bit longer, he needs some time off so that way he can recover and since he has been working none stop it would do him some good to have a small vacation, wouldn’t you agree with that statement Mikasa? Besides im sure he would not complaint at that time would you Yukio?”

 

[Kishiko Nagisa]

Kenshin would see Yuki approach and bow slightly.

"A pleasure as always. I do apologise for not bringing much of a gift just some wine . I do hope that is ok." He would say.

Theyre then joined by Mikasa and Yukio. Kenshin tactfully ignored the jest.

"A pleasure to meet you. I look forward to working together. he would say towards Yukio as Takeshi began to talk once more.

"Things are well Takeshi. I do admit I am living more in my office now that I am guarding Yomi but I am managing it ok. I have my days of teaching that I look forward to so nothing to complain about. How are things wiht your branch?" Kenshin would ask, feeling pretty relaxed once once in a meeting with peers.

 

[Haku Yuki]

Yuki peered around Kenshin seeing the familiar sight of the Med-Chief with the helpless looking Yukio in tow, she smiled brightly at the sight of Mikasa pleased that she had chosen to join them. The female waiting at Takeshi side they approached listening to her greeting, she giggled a little at her dig that Takeshi, Mikasa was a vision in her dress she, was as beautiful as a sunset.
“Mikasa, I am so glad that you came,” She embraced the female gently partially ignoring her former student as he sat in his wheelchair, “And please look at you” She guested to the females dress as Mikasa complemented her. The Haku moved back from the Med-Chief and turned back to Yukio, she was little surprised as to how long his hair had gotten, it could have been that long that she had seen him, she was glad however to see that his gift fitted she wasn’t going to have him looking scruffy, not if he Mikasa’s date.
“I am glad it fitted it was a bit worried about the size" She paces around him inspecting the way the fabric fell, it was a perfect fit, “It suits you Yukio, you almost look presentable,” She grinned at Yukio and ruffled him hair, teasing him a little knowing that there wasn’t a lot he could do about it, she could sense the anger the sure was sure was emanating from him, she took Mikasa by the arm leading her away from the others in the group. She did lead her far away only to the bar the lay on the other side of the foyer, one of the house retainers stood there silently, he bowed as she approached him taking two glasses of red wine. She handed one to the female before addressing her.
“So tell me how have you been, I hope Yukio hasn't been giving you on trouble and he is being the ideal patient?”

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

Amusingly enough, the gathering was quick to divide the genders into opposing sections, MIkasa swiftly guided away by Yuki. Truth to be told, the medical chief wouldn't wish it any other way, finding it extremely difficult to maneuver about in the attire; not wishing to embarrass herself in front of the highly regarded party guests. With much pleasure, the kunoichi settles in front of the bar, allowing a wisp to escape her pursed lips, "I am not sure how one is expected to maneuver in these type of shoes." the maiden chuckles gently, accepting the glass of red wine, not wishing to decline the offer. Gently the rim presses against her lips, the sweet taste was certainly delicious.

The ANBU Captain was swift to cut to the chase, "Bustling about, I feel I have adjusted as much as I can, considering the circumstances." Mikasa admits, "After speaking with your other, I am pleased of the agreement between our branches thus far." a grin spreads across the features of the kunoichi, "Not to worry, I was reminded of my limitations." waving her free hand about kindheartedly. Oceanic orbs focus on the ivory locks of Yukio in the distance, the medical nin making it quite obvious she were speaking of him, in case he were to glance their general direction, "Certainly was a tough recovery. He took up a considerable amount of time, but our staff is getting stronger, allowing me to not have to consistently give him so much attention." streaming a hand through her platinum locks, Mikasa finishes her drink, more than likely far too quickly as she was not accustomed to indulging on wine.

Unsure if it were her place to inquire for another, she shrugs off the notion and kindly gestures towards the silent figure behind the bar, bowing her head respectfully, "I do wish he would begin to eat a bit more, going to take a bit of time to return to his former status. I apologize, I am speaking too much. And yourself, Yuki-san?" she inquires in a gentle tone, a faint warm fuzzy feeling developing. Once again, quite obvious, the woman settles her optics against Kenshin, giving him a stare down for having yet to attend a single medical session.​

[Shirai Sadao]

Trapped in his wheelchair like state Yukio could do little to prevent the ruffling of his head combined with the comment on his attire he couldn't deny he wasn't in the most presentable state but then again it wasn't the first thing on his list of concerns though it did bring a rather deadpan expression to his face for a few brief moments a few stray strands of hair coming down to cover his eyes leaving it something of a mess reaching up to readjust his silver locks "I appreciate you sending me this all the same, its something different considering my other clothes are very much the same thing over and over." tilting his head towards Takeshi to listen to his words he felt himself twitch slightly considering it was Takeshi who put him in the chair in the first place.

"Yes Mikasa has been of good company to may and assisted in making my recovery easier than i ever could have hoped, though as much as the extra recovery time would help i would rather be focused on getting back on my feet. It's more than a bit strange moving around like this considering how much i depend on swift movements." He sighed shuffling the wheelchair on the spot to make his point, it was taking some getting used to and he couldn't be more grateful to Mikasa for bringing him here given his state.

Considering it as his first meeting with Yukio would have preferred to be in a more presentable state given the company he was in though not much could be done to change that it would be a matter of making the best of the situation and just dealing with things as they happened. "A pleasure to meet you as well, and i would ask you very much the same. I have spent some time around the students and i must say on occasion they can be quite the handful." There was one other thing on his mind he went silent for a moment before inquiring. "On a final note i hate to be a bother however would one of you two mind greatly grabbing a drink. I would but i am not the best at moving around in this thing yet and would prefer not to break anything making the attempt." He was polite as expected though embarrassed at having to ask about such things to Kenshin and Takeshi.

 

[Uchiha Takeshi]

Takeshi listened to everyone speaking it seemed that this group was leaving the work behind them for one night, it was nice to see everyone enjoying themselves as his eyes slowly moved across from each person as Kenshin replied to the comments that he had made, it seemed that he was still relaxing inside of his new role but that was to be expected. The man was driven by work from what the ANBU could tell, not a bad thing but it had work to be done that much was sure. As he returned a smile listening to the words that had been spoken.

“The branch is doing fine, recruitment has never been better and the drive we have is only moving forward, with the sign up for joint operations with medical as well it should be an exciting new time for both branches moving forward from this. To say that it will be an interesting new year is an understatement for sure.”

Takeshi continued to stand beside Yuki it was his place at her side and nothing having to think about branch matters right now could be a relief to him, it gave him time to relax and find a little bit more about everyone else there. As he turned his attention back to Mikasa allowing her to speak for a few minutes he listened to her speak about Yukio and how his recovery had been progressing, though it seemed slow he at least knew this would teach the boy a lesson for his lies that had found him in this situation in the first place.

“He will recover, at least if he doesn’t eat just force feed him, he should get his strength up he will be returning to active duty soon within the branch. On that note Mikasa when you have time please come and find me, I have a few missions that I would like to borrow medical ninja for in the coming future, I would like the new year to bring in a new friendship between ANBU and Medical.”

Takeshi turned to the man dealing with drinks as he got himself another whiskey he allowed his eyes to glance over to Yukio before he finally made sure that his own had a drink as well. Handing Yukio a sake it seemed that he was going to be nice and at least get the man a drink. As he passed the drink he allowed himself to sip on the whiskey once more before speaking to Yukio this time.

“How are you feeling Yukio, you seem better now you have been looked after, I have to say I am impressed with your recovery”

 

[Kishiko Nagisa]

Kenshin watched the merriment and nodded to Takeshi's words.

"That is good. The next batch of students seem very eager to join their branch and are friends so hopefully that stays the case. But we did not come here to discuss politics and branch stuff. Let's enjoy the holidays while we can." Kenshin would say raising his glass for everyone who had one before taking a swig of his own, after securing a drink for Yukio. Kenshin would also ignore any look from Mikasa.

After some time, he would find that the drinks had caused him to be a little more sleepy than anticipated. Also, it seemed to affect his chakra control enough that he kept opening and closing one of his chakra gates by accident. Thankfully, just one gate didn't cause much of a problem. If he activated more than 2, then that is when things would go flying from him. He thought it best to graciously retreat for the moment.

"I do apologize Takeshi and Yuki. It is getting late and I am afraid I must be going. Keep whatever is left of the wine. It was nice to see you Mikasa and nice to meet you Yukio. I imagine I will see you around the academy sometime. Have a great holiday." Kenshin would keep his leaving short and sweet


[topic left]

 

[Haku Yuki]

Yuki smiled at Mikasa, she knew what Yukio was like in her years of knowing him he was always thin come to think of it she couldn’t remember the last time that she saw him eat. She shrugged and cocked her head to the side.

“He always been like that, I wouldn’t worry too much,” She placed her pale on hand the Sennin’s to comfort her. “Besides he seems to be doing well under your care. It looks like you have had some form of impression on him” A knowing grinned crossed the female’s lips there was something going to between her former student and this woman, she could feel it but she wasn’t about to press either of them on the matter. It was an evening to enjoy each other company and forget about the stresses of life as a shinobi for a while. The female listened to Mikasa ask about how she managed to carry herself so well in heels. “Trust me, when Takeshi and I first got engaged I was schooled for weeks on how a lady of the house should hold herself, I tell you that was more rigorous than any of the training I went through as an ANBU,” Yuki too another mouth full of wine and shivered at the memories. “Anyway, I have kept you from your charge long enough, we should rejoin the others” Yuki turned and left the area and made her way back over to her husband.

Yuki reached her side as Kenshin was leaving, she bowed as he left a little disappointed that he didn’t stay longer. He was going to miss out on the dinner that had been prepared, but no matter it just meant that there would leftovers. She approached Takeshi and wrapped her arm around him, planting a light kiss on his cheek.
“Well, it looks like it is just the four of us, shall we get seated?” She looked at him, she was a little disappointed that not all of the guest had made an appearance, but she knew how stressful life with a new family must be, so she couldn’t really blame Yomi and the Hokage. Yuki let go of her husband's arm and made her way towards the dining area knowing that he would follow her.

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

The atmosphere of the gathering swiftly began to alter, Kenshin taking his leave due to an over extension on beverages. Little to no surprise, the hachimon user ignored a majority of her staring as they both knew he wasn't going to abide to the previous Hokage order of learning medical techniques. During the lingering thoughts Yuki navigated to her husbands side once more, beckoning for the group to settle down to begin eating.Hesitantly the maiden strolls forward to position herself behind the recovering ANBU operative, grasping the handles she wheels him forward without much word.

Truthfully she didn't plan on being alone with the couple and Yukio, causing an unusual circumstance to say the least. Being in this particular stage of friendship with the Hyuuga didn't equate to double dating situations. Shrugging the thought, Mikasa cautiously removes a chair and wheeling him forward, ultimately settling beside him. There wasn't much need to speak, as the conversation had yet to begun and for the head of the medical branch to seat with merely ANBU felt peculiar. Ultimately she would chuck this up to being needed to continue to strengthen branch relations, "Is it alright if I request more red wine?" she inquires gingerly, not pausing to wait for a response. The kunoichi hands jolts upwards and awaits for hand to be filled with a new glass, once so would she continue with unorthodox gulps; clearly not a wine drinker.

In the rear of Mikasa's mind she hoped Yuki recalled her taste for sweets, apple juice or orange juice would be a sight for sore eyes, "I hope all is well for everyone, the student tournament was an excellent way to showcase the students of the village." the woman begins as a means to break the ice. "Takeshi-san, tell me over your adventures in Sunagakure." showcasing genuine interest.​

[Shirai Sadao]

There was a moment of silence from the Hyuuga at Takeshi's suggestion he knew eating was something of a problem for him and Takeshi was more than happy to lean towards direct methods but in any case Yukio would rather eat of his own choice rather than through a tube hesitation in his tone as he spoke. "Now Now things aren't that bad i can assure you it will improve given time its just part of my recovery i can assure you." a trace of sweat traced its way down his temple over the next few seconds a nervous laugh escaping him as a mental note was made to improve such habits.

Quickly shaking it off he took the drink taking a quick gulp of the whiskey before a sigh of relief left his lips. "I appreciate this Takeshi its been too long since we've sat peacefully like this and thank you for the consideration i have been recovering with haste thanks to Mikasa's assistance and the help of the doctors within the medical branch. Safe to say i have felt i am in safe hands." there was a smile to accompany the statement the gratitude he felt towards the med branch for their assistance was something he couldn't quite put into words.

His attention was quickly turned towards Kenshin the words he spoke being true and directly to the point. "You make a fair point this is not the time for such talk after all we are here to enjoy ourselves" the subject was quick to change after that moment with the Sennin moving to make his leave much to Yukio's surprise giving a nod as he turned to go. "What i will as i intend to keep teaching the new generation as i always intended too, please take it easy and enjoy yourself." With that he was left with the couple and Mikasa the comment of take a seat making the Hyuuga look to his chair with a rather deadpan expression throwing back the rest of his drink. "Already there Yuki though I appreciate the notion."

He spoke in a jovial tone not wanting to come across as sarcastic or unappreciative as Mikasa wheeled him over to the rest, the feeling of it having to be done was still not a great one but there was little room to discuss the matter though this sensation did not last quickly being replaced with the realisation of how things had turned out tilting his head to the Med nin beside him for a brief moment before she spoke. "Agreed its quite astounding how much they've grown, I still remember when they were just newcomers all wanting to prove themselves to their peers."

 

[Uchiha Takeshi]

Takeshi allowed himself to look around the table pondering on the company, it seemed that one of them wanted to leave early but that just made this some form of weird double date it seemed. Though Takeshi was in the clan house and as such he needed to make sure that he acted professional around the situation. He allowed himself to listen to everyone speaking as he allowed himself to eat the food and enjoy the meal that had been prepared for everyone that would be around the place for this party. Though Takeshi knew full well that he had to make some small talk as he allowed himself to eat the food.

“So what is the situation that we are all getting ourselves in, I must admit with the drinks flowing it is becoming a good environment for all of us and I don’t know about you but I have been so busy it has not been often that I have managed to actually let my hair down and enjoy myself it is one of those rare times that In find myself enjoy food and booze in the company a few nice people. Well here is to another great year that is coming about”

Takeshi allowed himself to raise the whiskey glass that he had and empty the glass in a quick drink before allowing someone to grab him a refill it seemed that the bar staff has been on point. Takeshi waited for the others to finish their toast deciding not to interrupt as the group sat there he was already heading his way down to being drunk and he was not about to stop there. It seemed that Takeshi was allowing himself to let his hair down in those few seconds, he glanced at everyone at the party.

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

Despite the circumstances of a formal affair, the medical chief still had a headset hidden within her garbs. Merely nodding her head, Mikasa finds herself in agreement; not very often did the maiden find a reprieve from the workload Lady Yomi utilizes to ready the kunoichi for responsibilities she yet to become aware of. Never the least, the medical nin continues to indulge herself within red wine, still new to the taking light zips of an unfamiliar liquid. Turning her attention to Yukio, the thin grin upon her features widen, "Eat, otherwise I am sure Takeshi-san will assume I haven't been doing a proper job." she jests with a light chuckle.

A crackle emits from her garbs, instinctively she jolts upwards, hands patting as if she had normal pockets, to recall a hidden pocket seamed into the dress, withdrawing a headset. Swiftly the shinobi tool is placed against her left ear, the conversation between the pair not audible, merely the platinum hair woman nodding as if conversing directly across from the other. Securing the tool against her ear, she bows her head respectfully to the group, "My apologies, there is an emergency in the medical ward. This is an item I can not overlook. I trust you will see to Yukio-san eating and returning to the hospital?" she inquires to Yuki.

Hastily Mikasa undoes the clasp upon the heels she has difficult walking with, now holding the pair within her grasp she darts off towards the entrance. How odd it must have appeared to view a woman in a dress sprinting off with the attire flowing outwards behind her. The medical chief knew the party guests would understand and hopefully Yukio would take no offense to Mikasa not wheeling him off with her; after all the estate was familiar to him, was it not?

[Uchiha Takeshi]

Takeshi watched as Mikasa left he allowed himself to smile knowing full well that the party had kind of done its job, it had seen most of the Sennin in one place and most of them being civilized with each other this was more of a miracle than anything else in the eyes of the Clan head. Though he knew that the party was coming to an end and knew full well that he still had to keep himself on the good grounds in terms of what he was doing for the future. As he looked down to Yukio he watched the man in the chair it seemed that he was destined for great things if he managed to survive that long.

“Unfortunately I am in the same situation, I have left something at the office and must go and collect it, cannot say that I am happy about it but what can be done, when you have to go and do work you got to go and do work. I will bid you all a good night please enjoy the drink and food and make yourselves at home.”

Takeshi allowed himself to place the class down that he had as he nodded to the remaining two it seemed that everyone was slowly leaving and he had to do the same, which was a shame as he was enjoying himself right now. But when duty called it called for each of them and even he knew to accept this as the price he would pay. Turning around on his way out he smiled towards them.

“Yuki I will see you when I finish work, take care my dear”
