The two of them soon lapsed into silence as they neared the site of the duel. Sunlight hammered down upon the duo as the sun rose up higher into the sky and started to suck the moisture from the very air and made heat waves rise up from the ground. By the time that Kaori and Mitsuhide reached Onu's farm there was a thin sheen of sweat coating their foreheads but it didn't look like the two of them would be given a chance to rest before the festivities were to begin.
Taka and Motoko were already present at the farm, the former was leaning close to the latter and whispering into her offspring's ear. Not only those two were there though, for Onu was out on his porch once more and it looked as if Motoko's squad had decided to show up for this very event. Wahe was leaning over the rail to peer out and around for a sign of the challenger, an eager expression in his eyes while a red haired girl with a cocky smile tried to draw his attention. Perhaps most surprising was the sight of the neighbor kid, the black haired boy, being there as well and standing close to the jounin. Still it was Motoko who first spotted the approaching two and the others quickly followed suit when the swordwoman stiffened.
An awkard silence descended as their jounin broke away from the small gathering to approach the two genin, a frosty smile coming to her face. "Good, your both here. I want to get this over with as quickly as possible so that your duel can start. I want you to meet your new team mate, since Sammu has been...detained due to injuries, so say hello quickly. Hey kid, get over here and introduce yourself!"
For her part, Motoko seemed eeriely calm as she picked up her weapon of choice...a broom?!
