Six Years Ago

Mochizuki Tama - Age 17​

Tama flipped down the path, trying to not get too far ahead of her stubbornly slow brother. Finally, her complaints to her mother and father had paid off. Tomo was required to spend time with her. She didn't know how exactly they were going to spend time together until this morning when Tomo asked her to join him on a mission. Tama didn't ask for specifics, she simply got her gear and jumped out of her window, yelling at Tomo to hurry up.

Still, her patience could only last so long. And so Tama decided to physically make Tomo hurry up. By pushing him as fast as she could to the gates. He tried to stop at the gates to show their papers, but Tama didn't notice and ended up knocking Tomo down. Accidentally, of course. "Sorry Bro," the chuunin said without an ounce of sincerity.

After Tomo had said his catchphrase, Tama said hers, "Mochizuki Tama, Chuunin of Kumo, and Star of the Mochizuki Troupe. And Tomo's big sister, though only by a minute!" The last part was mumbled really quickly and quietly.

*Six Years Ago*

Mochizuki Tomo - Age 17​

Tomo walked down the path, slowly following behind his hyperactive sister. His family had been complaining to the genin that he wasn't spending enough time with his twin. There was a reason for that. He just couldn't stand being around his overconfident, obnoxious, showboat of a sibling. Tomo would have preferred to take care of his mission alone, but the boy was defenseless against his kin, especially his parents. So, reluctantly, Tomo had asked his sister to join him on his investigation. Apparently there was a temple in Solum de Asphodelus where unnatural things were occurring, and the village had been asked to look into the matter.

Tama, growing impatient, decided to get behind Tomo and push him towards the gates. Dust floated up from Tomo's dragging feet as the two reached their destination. Tomo planted his feet firmly on the ground so he could show the gate keeper his papers. However, Tama's pushing did not cease, causing the blonde to fall flat on his face. Stupid Tama. The genin rose, dusting off his white clothes. Reaching into his pocket, he produced his pass and identification. Despite Tama's eagerness to leave, Tomo still rattled off his usual phrase upon leaving and entering the village. "Mochizuki Tomo, manager-in-training and rising idol of the Mochizuki Troupe. Off to investigate a temple."

Six years prior

The old man narrowed his gaze on the Mochizuki siblings before him and came to an abrupt and yet timely revelation: Tomo is happy because she eats lard.

It all made sense now. It explained perfectly the disparities between the two, who by all rights should have grown up to be the most enchanting pair of sisters in the village. Instead, Tama had turned into, well, Tama, and Tomo had inherited all of the family beauty. But it wasn't too late for Tama. She could yet turn into a respectable woman, especially since there was a chance that the Shogun still wanted to get into her pantaloons. I'll see him holding your hand come hell or high water, he thought. That he sounded like a conniving pimp was not lost on him, but the future of the village was at stake, here.

He fixed a stare at the ungainly one. "Very well, you two are given clearance to leave. Make sure that you eat plenty of lard on the journey, Tama. It could save your life. Tomo, be a good sister to her and avoid getting into shenanigans overmuch. I might never see you two again, after all. Well, git out."

Tomo shot to attention when he realized just who he was dealing with. The young idol was unsurprised by being called a girl. The old sennin had called him 'Tama's hot sister' so many times, Tomo gave up ever being thought of as a boy. The man's words were a bit ominous to say the least, but Tomo figured it was just his anxiety about being stuck with Tama, and the fearful thought of not having the Sennin around to keep the blue-haired girl in line. "We won't let you down sir." Tomo gave a deep bow before exiting the village. They were only doing an investigation after all, so no pressure...right?

"Ah! Ma-sennin! Hehe. Mah. Sennin! Get it?" Tama chortled at her bad joke. She beamed brightly as her boss gave her some advice for the trip. "Eat plenty of lard, got it! Wait, lard is just fat! How's my eating lard got to do anything with anything?" She would have continued, but Masao had given them clearance to leave, and Tomo was ready to head out. She followed calling back to the sennin, "You'll explain that to me when we get back! I won't take no for an answer!" She turned to Tomo saying, "We need to finish this quick!" before racing ahead.
