Shiori stared at her teammates as they stared back at her, taking advantage, Shiori took the time to observe said, teammates. The tallest out of all was the Aburame who had sat beside her during team placement with the shortest being the Hyuuga who sat in front of her. The Inuzuka had unruly hair and a puppy as his companion like all other Inuzukas before him. If Shiori were to take a guess, all three of them were either Clan Heirs or just Clan Head children.

She dipped into a bow similar to ones she did before, with both her hands held over her tummy and body bent forward in a perfect 90 degrees, "Please take care of me."

A bark rang in her years, the next thing Shiori knew was that she was tackled by a fluff of white followed by licks on her face and shouts of "Akamaru" in the background. As her instincts registered no threats, her body had landed on her ground, Shiori looked at the fluff ball sitting on her chest and tilted her lips up a little. Raising her hands, her calloused palm met it's smooth head, patting the comfortable dog.

"Huh, he likes you," The Inuzuka said, scratching his head. Shiori tilted her head before nodding, "It seems to be the case."

"To reply to your statement from before, I'd like to say it's a pleasure to meet you. Why? Because it seems that you have more experience than we do and we'll be able to learn much from you," The Aburame said, pushing his sunglasses up. He stretched an arm out, "I am offering a hand out to help you up. Why? Because it is the right thing to do."

Shiori stared at the boy, before she smiled softly, "Your speech pattern is surprisingly cute, Aburame-san."

"I think I am flattered. Why? Because no one has complimented my speech pattern before, aside from my family," He said. Shiori could make out the tint of red on his cheeks as she grabbed hold of his hand. She carried the dog with another hand before turning to Inuzuka, "Here you go."

"Ano..." A soft voice called out and Shiori turned her attention to the quiet Hyuuga. She tilted her head once again but this time in a silent question. "I'm Hi-hi-nata H-h-yu-u-uga... Ni-ni-nice t-to me-e-et y-you Shi-shi-shiori-s-san."

Shiori found that her smile widened a little and bowed her head slightly, "It's a pleasure to me your acquaintance too, Hyuuga-san. Please call me Shiori, and I'd like to extend that courtesy towards Aburame-san and Inuzuka-san as well."

"You speak weird," Kiba announced, "Like one of those ossan. And call me Kiba! This here is Akamaru!"

"And you can call me Shino. Why? Because I do not care much for such formalities." Shino offered as well. Hinata poked her index together and whispered similar words. Shiori smiled.

"Well, isn't this adorable," a nice, soothing voice called out. Shiori turned and took in the long black hair, red eyes of a lady. With a conclusion she was their teacher, Shiori bowed, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kurenai-sensei."

After all, the Yuhis are known to have red eyes, Shiori personally thought it was a beautiful shade for eyes to possess, it is intimidating and effective.

"None of that, now, why don't you introduce yourself?" She waved it off, "Start with your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies and dreams for the future."

"Would you mind starting first? Why? Because we do not know you." Shino said. Kurenai-san chuckled before nodding, "My name is Kurenai Yuhi, I am a Genjutsu mistress, I like onsen and hanging out with my friends. I dislike prejudice people and betrayal. My goal is to continue being able to contribute to the village. Now you go, Inuzuka."

"My name is Kiba Inuzuka! This boy here is Akamaru. I like Akamaru and having fun, I dislike when mom nags me to do things. My dreams for the future is to be an awesome Shinobi!" he announced proudly, grinning widely that whole time. Shiori listened and stored the information in her brain, she then turned to Shino who was called out next, "My name is Shino Aburame. I like my family and shade, I dislike people who look down on is. My dreams for the future is to be a teacher, why? Because I simply like to teach."
