A Bittersweet Night [Private]

[Chikamatsu Shin]

The sun was beginning its ascension back down under it's horizon as it's sister moon decided to begin to rise. As if one was taking over the shift of the other guiding wandering souls throughout their mother's expansive lands. The sky itself was a perfect gradient. Looking up the deepest blue could be see, but oranges could be seen darting and jetting across the sky as well. Pinks, purple, yellows, and greens could all be seen in the sky, whether close to the sun or cutting across the semi-cloudy sky. Coming to the surface allowed the village to experience so many beautiful phenomenon that wasn't witnessed by many of the old cave dwellers. As the sky reached out almost infinitely so did the dreams of many of the citizens in this beautiful village. One dreamer though felt alone, even amongst company.

The shift at the hospital was finally over. With a pocket full of caterpillar copy cocoons the young kunoichi was ready to head home. Pulling the apron off of her black dress, she folded it and placed it in the cubby with her name on it awaiting for her to reclaim the name of 'nurse' the next day. She hadn't been working at the hospital for very long, probably only a week now, but it was probably the most valuable thing that she has done in a long while. Though she loved this new position, the idea of doing double shifts for an entire week was all too exhausting. Tomorrow she did not have to work so she decided that she was going to treat herself to a night on the town tonight. With a pocket full of well deserved and earned yen the young woman decided to head to the market in the Sietch Zensunna. She wanted to eat out at some sort of nice restaurant and probably go shopping. She had been designing a new style of puppet and needed to pick up some pieces of optical calcite.

As the girl made her way to the marketplace she quickly found a bathroom and pulled out a special scroll of hers. Looking around to see if it was clear she made a few handseals and unraveled the scroll to reveal a rather odd looking sealing jutsu. As she pressed her hands against the scroll a puff of smoke appeared, and as it cleared different styles of makeup would appear. A smile stretched across the kunoichi's face. Instinctively she layered her face in her usual style: primer, foundation, contour, powder. blush, golden eyeshadows, winged eyeliner, and matte plum lipstick. Smacking her lips together she smiled and she was almost done. Pulling up a brown powder makeup and a brush she filled in her eyebrows to complete her look. A giggle would slip through her mouth. She loved makeup, regardless of whether or not people antagonized her for "wearing too much". Nevertheless, she was ready to head back out and go out onto the town.

As she walked out of the public restroom with her resealed makeup scroll she made her way to the varying food stalls. She was extremely hungry. Besides mixed nuts during breaks, she hadn't ate since before her double shift. What to eat though? What to eat?

((OoC: I thought that this would be a fun way to see how this thread goes XD))

 

[Uziuke]

Uziuke opened his eyes to another day in the life of living in The Sand Village. After gaining entry into the village the boy found himself a place to stay. It was nothing more than a large empty room. The restroom was clean, but the boy didn't plan to stay there for long. The night before was tragic. He barely got any sleep because of the incident.

[ Flashback</B><i></i> ]​

Uziuke took another sip of his coffee while trying to cope with all the yelling outside. It was the reason the boy wasn't able to get any sleep. His eyes lay half open as though they were too heavy to keep up. Shadows hung over the bags that lay under his eyes. They were as dark and bold as the night's sky.

"SMACK!"​

As a loud clap echoed through the alleyway a crash sounded off. A boot came flying through the boy's apartment window. The boy's eyes widened out of suprise. This activated the Uchiha's sharingan, causing a large black fire to begin to burn on the far side of the room. The boy cupped his hands together, opening a void to seal the flames in. After cleaning up the flames the boy phased away from the inside of his home.

He reappeared in the dark alleyway outside of his apartment. He witnessed two guys brawling under the night's sky. He threw his coffee mug at the two. It crashed and cracked upon hitting the ground after bouncing off of the fighters. It was enough to catch their attention as they now looked towards the lad. With a wave of his hand the boy released black flames onto the streets. They stretched towards the two fighters that were now halfway down the alley and headed towards the main roads. They didn't have to be told that this wasn't the kid to mess with. Uziuke sighed as he waved his hand at the flames, making them disappear. It was as though they weren't even there. "I really liked that cup."

[ <B>End Flashback ]​

The boy awoke during the later hours of the day. It seemed as though the sun was about to set. He put on a pair of black sweat pants that had diamonds designed in gold going down either leg. He wore a black bandanna tied around his head hiding his white hair. He ate a bowl of ramen and grabbed his coffee stained white T-shirt before heading out of the door. "It looks beautiful out here." He closed the door to his place.

It didn't take long for the boy to stumble upon a busy marketplace. He wanted to replace his shirt since it got all stained the night before. He decided to start asking around for help. After a while the boy got side tracked. His plea for help ended when he met a boy around his age wanting to make some quick yen. Looking for a shirt turned into betting yen against another kid in a game of "Who could throw a paper airplane farther". With 30,000yen being the stakes a game, the boy couldn't help but take on the opportunity to gain a little something. Maybe he'd be able to afford a better room by the night.

By the third game Uziuke was talking cocky. He'd already won two games and it looked as though he had the third in the bag. He folded a sheet of paper into an airplane. He gracefully threw it into a crowd of people passing by. He watched as his plane flew pass a few faces, but one female caught he eyes. It was then that his mind left the game. "Who is she?" The boy asked himself. "Yeah! My mom was going to have my head for that last game I lost. Now I can give her back her money." Uziuke looked to his plane to see he lost the last game. "Pay up." Uziuke, coming out on top, gave the boy back some of his yen. "Yeah Yeah, next time don't be so careless. You'll lose more than just your yen." Uziuke chuckled as he slapped hands with the guy and departed.

He now moved into the crowd to find that female that caught his attention earlier. The boy folded up the last piece of paper that he had into a paper airplane after scribbling something down ((Note: contents in spoiler)) on it in marker. He grinned as he let it fly towards Kumomi from behind. He threw it so it'd glide smoothly over her head and land directly in front of her. Hopefully she'd notice the note and open it.

[ Topic Entered ]

Spoiler

Outside of Note: Open

Inside of Note: Want to get together and have some sweet buns?

(( Let's try and tip the scale ^~^ ))

 

[Chikamatsu Shin]

Kumomi was minding her own business, settling down on wanting some takoyaki with a side of miso soup. She smiled yet before she went off to find food the young girl noticed a paper airplane flutter over her head and land in front of her. Thinking that a small child must be nearby, she picked up the plane intending to return it to the five or six year old that threw it. Well, that was until she noticed the section on it that said "open". With a slight chuckle she decided to amuse whomever sent it to her and she opened the letter to see an invitation to go out and get sweet buns. She audible laughed this time. She began to look around to see who threw it, holding it up over her head and with a questioning look on her face.

"Who threw this?"<i></i>

[Uziuke]

Watching the girl laugh at the note, Uziuke grinned. He moved over to the mysterious girl as he waved. "Sorry if I startled you with my Sky Hawk." The boy chuckled after confessing to throwing the paper aircraft.

He couldn't help but notice the girl's eyes. "You're eyes are amazing." If she looked him in the eyes she would notice that he possessed the sharingan. A trait of the Uchiha Clan. He got lost staring into her eyes for a moment before clearing his throat and playing it off. "I'm Uziuke, a traveler from the lands of the unknown." The boy slightly bowed. He decided that mentioning that he was from Mist would only lead their conversation to sadness. He didn't want to relive the fiasco at the gates. Uziuke rubbed his belly and closed his eyes as he continued on. "A meal would be great right now. I don't know the village that well and I was hoping to find some help getting around."

The boy looked into the distance while stretching his arms behind his head. He reached into his belt pouch and pulled out a kunai. As he used it to clear the dirt from under his nails he continued to speak on. "What do ya say? Your meal is on me, that is, if I can get your name." He stopped playing with the kunai for a moment, now paying attention to Kumomi, looking once more to her eyes.

 

[Chikamatsu Shin]

A voice approached her side apologizing for the airplane aka Sky Hawk. The boy that threw it was actually her age. She raised an eyebrow over him, scanning his person, which in hindsight probably looked like she was checking him out. The emerald eyed girl made eye contact with him as he complimented her eyes. She smiled and stared into his Sharingans. An Uchiha, eh? A rather rare sight out here in the sand. The girl was contemplating his intentions when he introduced himself. Uziuke, a cute little name for sure. The kunoichi curtsied to the boy as he bowed. She took step back and grinned a little bit. He said he was from unknown lands, sure he was.

"Nice to meet you Uziuke, and just how unknown are these lands?"

The knowledge thirsty medic in training couldn't help but prod a little bit, but by the tone of her voice it was clear that she was also just pestering the boy with the question and wasn't being serious. He was hungry, which she was too. She was sure she knew where this was going and a smirk appeared on her plum coloured lips. This boy seemed sweet, she'd amuse him for now. After all, free food never hurts.

"My name is Kugutsu, and if food is what you are looking for there are plenty of vendors just down this route. What are you looking for? Still your sweet buns?"<i></i>

The girl chuckled a little and turned her back to the boy taking a few steps before stopping. She turned back to look at the boy and gesture to let him know to follow. She wanted to see if she could learn more about this far off lands.

[Uziuke]

The boy followed after Kumomi, continuing on as she asked about the missing lands. As the boy spoke he made his voice deeper and spoke slower for the dramatic affect. "It's a place of death. A place that enforces the rule eat or be eaten." Uziuke paused for a moment. He grinned and pointed a finger into the air. "And if you don't follow that rule then-" KABOOM! The sound sounded off and echoed through the streets. A streak of lightening fell from the sky and crashed into a barrel of bananas. There was banana pudding all over the windows and the doors of a nearby market. "Then KA-SPLAT! You get torn apart and forgotten about."

Just then the market owner ran out of the shop. He was riled up from the mess that lay in front of his shop. He started yelling and jumping around, shouting a few words that weren't really eligible. The commotion drew quite the crowd. "And as far as our meal." The boy looked to the crowd and the pudding that was scattered everywhere. "Anything that would get us away from this scene." Of course it was his jutsu that made the mess. But what was the point of going out if you weren't going to have any fun?

 

[Chikamatsu Shin]

((SORRY! I thought I had already responded))

A place of death. Thousands of places ran through the girl's mind in a moments notice but nothing was yet stuck. She wanted to know more, but she felt as if she should wait. A place of strict rules of banana pudding. The girl chuckled a little as the barrel shattered and splattered everywhere. The deconstruction of anything brought out true enjoyment on her face. With a slightly blushed face she turned to the boy as he explained the forgotten part. "That was you, wasn't it?"<i></i> It was obvious that it was him, but she didn't have time to wait as the store owner came out hissing and barking at people.

Reaching out to grab the boy's hand the girl would look up towards the top of the nearby buildings. Turning her emerald gaze to the boy she would smile. "Yeah, can do. Ready?"<i></i> The girl would send chakra through her legs before sending her up to the roof of it. The air would dart by her as she made her way up to the top of a three story building. As she would come back down to land on the roof her dress would flow through the air like a delicate parachute. She would look at the boy, who hopefully would follow before running across the roof and jumping to the next one.

She did this about three or four times before dropping back to the ground below. She smiled as she would have landed in front of her favourite restaurant. It was a small maw and paw shop that had amazing chicken. She turned to look behind her to see if the boy was there. If Uziuke was there she would smile and point at the shop. "This is my favourite. I know it's sketchy but it is amazing!"<i></i> She would chuckle and go for his hand before making her way into the shop.

 

[Uziuke]

The boy nodded after asked if he were ready to jet. But he wasn't ready for the girl to take it to the rooftops. He leaped to the side of the same building. While in the air the boy began to focus his chakra to the soles of his feet. He took the same route as his new Sunan acquaintance. He was careful not to lose focus and slip into any open windows. As he neared the top he noticed someone throwing something down from their  window. The boy placed his hand near his face, catching the item before it pelted down on him. Passing the last window the boy somersaults to the rooftop.

He met Kumomi at the top. Once more she dashed off. 'Where is she leading me?' As she continued to lead the way Uziuke took the time to see exactly what it was that was thrown at him. 'Hey, I remember this!

[ Flashback ]

Uziuke threw a brick into a window of a home. He jumped inside, still a bit torn that the village was going through such harsh weather. The boy looked to the front door. He wouldn't be able to exit that way either due to the snow rising above the top of the door. He moved up the stairs of the two story home.  "Help! I'm stuck!" The genin could hear a deep voice from behind a door. He moved from the top of the stairs, past the restroom and ended up in front of a locked door. He sent chakra through his right leg as he kicked the door open.

What lay beyond the door surprised his eyes. A room layered in ice brought a whole new meaning to the word chill. A middle aged guy lay on a bed with his hands frozen to his headboard. "Help please." The guy requested. Uziuke moved through the doorway with haste. After a few hand seals Uziuke took in a deep breathe. He could feel his insides beginning top heat up as he cupped a hand to his mouth. Flames escaped his throat as he exhaled, quickly melting the ice trap that the guy was stuck in.

As he stood up he revealed why he hadn't left sooner. "I would have been out of here but I stayed looking for this and lost track of time." He held up a rather pricy looking necklace. "It was because of this that I nearly ended up a blocked of ice." The guy looked to Uziuke. "Here. It isn't much, but think of it as an award for saving my life." He dropped the necklace around Uziuke's neck. "They say there is only two of these out there. Better keep it close for safe being. And thanks again for saving my life kid."

He lost that one of course.

[ End Flashback ]

But today he held another in hand. The golden necklace shimmered in the sun. Beams of light phased through it, making it shine as if it were just out the box. It was almost blinding when looking at it from such an angle. The boy looked up to see Kumomi skipping ahead to the next rooftop. The boy clenched the gold necklace in his hand as he began after her. He landed on the ground kneeling beside her. He slowly came to a stand looking to the restaurant before him.

The boy pulled his hands behind his back as she reached for his. "Guess what." He said with boyish charm. The grin stay on his face as he moved his hands from behind his back. He revealed the trinket that was thrown at him earlier. "It would look better on you than it would on me." The necklace would shimmer as light bounced off of it. This would be a thank you gift for leading him to his next meal.

 

[Chikamatsu Shin]

Kumomi would watch as the boy landed beside her. he seemed to be up to something, but nevertheless she was ready to eat. As she started to head towards the restaurant to take a seat the boy spoke. She turned to face Uziuke as his "guess what" comment. The young kunoichi's face lit up as she saw the necklace. It seemed to sparkle and shimmer as if emitting it's own light. It was beautiful. She would reach out to take the necklace before clasping it under her hijab. As she did this glimses of pure white hair would trickle out before being tucked under the head wrap. She smiled to the boy blushing.

'Thank you Uziuke... It's beautiful."<i></i>

She grabbed his hand began to walk into the restaurant with a new found sense of enjoyment. She seemed to radiate positive energy. As she walked into the joint she smiled at the owners before sitting at the bar. The place had a few tables, a couple of booths, and a small bar. There seemed to be only a few patrons but the place it's self was decorated with old fans of all sorts and sizes. Some had crystal gems laced into the silk fabric while other were made of bamboo and had old paintings on them. The ceiling was lined with traditional red lanterns and the bar had a serpentine creature embroidered on it. Kumomi would smile before raising a two fingers at one of the waitresses. She would turn to face Uziuke before grinning.

"She's getting us water before we order."<i></i>

At this point a waitress walked by and laid two menus in front of them, there were many options that varied from traditional dishes to more popular urban dishes. The waitress also placed two glasses of water in front of them before saying that she would be back in a minute. Kumomi leaned on the bar a little bit.

"So tell me, Uzi-kun... What brings you here to Suna?"<i></i>

[Uziuke]

The question caught the boy by surprise. "Aye, I'm just traveling the country with my clan. I stumbled upon your village after a few months of traveling. It seemed like a great place to stay for a while before heading back off on my way." He didn't see anything wrong with Suna. In fact the longer he stayed the more in tune with things he became. When traveling one had to learn to adapt. It was something he was still learning to do.

The boy was loving the scenery inside the restaurant. He was amazed by the dishes that a few people were already sitting down and eating. The foods looked to be cooked by the finest of chef's in the sand village. The atmosphere was great. It was a place where one could get comfortable. "Truthfully I wanted to know more about you. You seem like a nice girl. Were you and your family raised in this village?" He felt as though it was his turn to ask the questions. There was something about this girl that caught his curiosity.

 

[Chikamatsu Shin]

"Well, Uzi-kun... My family has been here since the beginning. We can trace our lineage all the way beck to the First Men of Sunagakure. The Kugutsu Clan itself is an old one filled with artisans and lore."<i></i> Kumomi smiled as she looked down slightly and began twiddling her thumbs a little bit. "Truthfully though... I wasn't raised with the rest of my clan. My mother left the clan when she met a traveler years back and I grew up in the caravans that traveled throughout the Diamond Maelstrom..."<i></i> The girl's voice began to trail off. Perhaps this had to due with the fact that she didn't really have any friends besides Kyuji, but he was her sensei. The girl turned in her stool and rested her arms on the bar. She latched her feet on her stool. "But I haven't met the rest of my clan. I don't know how it'll be when I meet..."<i></i> She turned and smiled at the boy. "But that's boring stuff... What would you like to know? I'm sure there is something you are curious about."<i></i> Kumomi giggled a little before she saw that the waitress come back to the bar. She gestured at the boy with her to order first.

 

[Uziuke]

Uziuke had a lot to ask but didn't know where to begin. As the waitress came over to the table Uziuke looked up with a smile. "Do you have stuffed bird on your menu?" It really wasn't much of a question. Just then feathers began to fall from the ceiling of the restaurant. Slowly people began to fall asleep until there was no one awake but Kumomi and Uziuke.

The boy stood up and took the apron and hat from the sleeping waitress. "How about I make you a surprise dish." He fixed the hat upon his head as he finished his sentence. The boy was quite the cook. He learned how to prepare meals while he was younger. His father wasn't around much so he learned to fix his own meals. After leaving his village and being introduced to what lay beyond the outer village area, Uziuke became quite the chef. He'd hunt animals and cook them during night fall.

With a cheesy smile the boy began to the kitchen area of the restaurant. As he opened the door that led to the back he was bombarded by shouts and angry cooks that held awkward looking silverware. The shouts would turn into snores as Uziuke put the cooks to sleep.

He began hard at work. He pulled the ingredients that he needed from a walk in cooler in the back. He turned on a deep frier, watching as the grease inside slowly begin to bubble. He moved over to the stove, turning on a burner and placing a pan over the heated area.

A small flame began to simmer in the kitchen. Suddenly the flame few bigger and started taking shape. Three clones of Uziuke formed from the flames. Two of them immediately started to help with the cooking while the third grabbed a tray of sweet bread rolls. The clone created from flames exited the kitchen, delivering the rolls of bread to Kumomi. "Things will be ready in a moment madam. Uziuke is in the back preparing you two a lovely dinner. Let me entertain you while you wait"

The clone would take a few steps back away from the table, careful not to step on the sleeping waitress. He cupped his hands together as if holding his hands out for some candy. Suddenly a small fireball appeared floating above his hands. He lifted the ball of fire above his head and watched as it began to float to the ceiling. Before hitting the top the fireball erupted into a plethora of colors. Small sparks fell from above, containing every color of your average rainbow.

 

[Chikamatsu Shin]

Kumomi was thrown off guard as the feathers fell from the sky, she would notice that as the feathers fell everyone around them would fall asleep. Uziuke must be using genjutsu to put everyone to sleep. She would smile as he would walk into the kitchen and begin cooking. Kumomi would interlock her fingers and rest her chin on her hands. She would turn her head and await for her surprise. Kumomi giggled quietly to herself before catching the glimpse of the fire within the kitchen. A clone came out and brought her some rolls.

"Pretty..."<i></i> Kumomi would grin and begin to tear a roll into small strips of bit-sized pieces. Taking her first bite she was happy with how it tasted, bread was one of her best friends. The multicoloured flames would trickle down creating a beautiful array of not only colour but of talent and strength. This boy was capable of many things, and Kumomi was interested in learning more about what all he could do. She was however curious why he hadn't asked her much. She decided that she would stay quiet for now, and await for him to take the night somewhere.

 

[Uziuke]

Uziuke hummed a tune as he exited the kitchen. Everything was wheeled in on a table that the white haired boy pushed like a shopping cart. Arriving at the table the boy gave a slight grin. He cancelled his clone technique, making the remaining clones vanish. "Sorry to have taken so long, but each dish had to be warmed and prepared just right for the kunoichi." He took off his chef hat, attempting to playfully put it atop of her head as he spoke.

He placed a plate and silverware in front of her and one in front of where he'd sit. Afterwards he began introducing his dishes, pulling the lids off of each one. The first lid was removed, revealing an assortment of meatballs. "We have teriyaki chicken meatballs. I squeezed some hot peppers over it for some spice." Uziuke moved his hand to the next dish. He removed the lid to reveal several strips of some fish. " Salmon cooked in soy sauce and a bit of sake for flavor." He put his fingers to his lips and kissed them before moving on to his last dish. "And to top it off..." There were dumplings, rice balls, and sweet cakes neatly assorted on the large dish. "We have our desserts." The boy sat down, ready to dig in. But before he did so he looked Kumomi in the eyes.

"Hey, earlier you said your mom left with a traveler. Well, I was wondering if you've ever tried to go out and find her." When the boy started up his hobby of cooking, he often thought of Kirigakure. Cooking just gave the boy that home feel and it was what led him to asking the girl about her mom. After hearing the answer he dug into the fish immediately, placing a few strips on his plate while reaching for more.

 

[Chikamatsu Shin]

Kumomi smiled as the real boy came back from the kitchen. He wheeled in the food and placed the cute chef hat onto Kumomi's head, resting on her hijab it probably looked rather humorous. "Don't apologize Uzi-kun, I am sure it is going to be splendid."<i></i> She chuckeld at the boy slightly as he began to introduce the meals. Teriyaki anything was the girl's favourite, so point one to Uzi-kun. There was salmon and varying desserts; this spread looked beautiful. Kumomi would grab a few of the meatballs and the salmon when she heard the question. As if put on pause the girl laid the meat on her plate and dropped her chopsticks to lay beside the plate. She trickled her thumbs before speaking.

"Well... I don't know... I thought about it when I was younger, but now that I have found my place in the village I don't know anymore. A part of me would like to get to know her more, but I am so used to being on my own that I wouldn't even know where to begin. If I did find her maybe I could meet the clan that I heard stories of growing up. Then again what if I am nothing like them? My father wasn't apart of it, he wasn't even a shinobi. I was raised in the caravans when I was young and they were more of a family than anyone."<i></i> She looked at her darker skin, a mark of the "Native Savage" blood that coursed through veins. Something that a lot of people wouldn't correlate but many of the travelers that had to fight these natives would use against her. "I just feel like sometimes I don't belong, and I don't know if meeting the woman who left me would make me feel any better..."<i></i>

She realized she just dumped poison into the mood. She quickly smiled and chuckled. Turning to face Uziuke she would try and change subjects. "But enough of that, what's something fun you like to do?"<i></i>

 

[Uziuke]

"Meeting others. New people bring new ideas. But in the end, I always end up having fun." The boy chowed down a bit before continuing on. He cleared his throat as he began on. "You know, after we started traveling I began to miss home." Thoughts of the water country began to enter his mind. "To get over it, I decided to make the most of life."

Uziuke hoped he didn't hurt the kunoichi's feelings by asking what here did earlier. He figured he could try to lighten the mood a bit. The boy jumped up on the table next to theirs. He grabbed a single chopstick. "Through traveling we end up meeting a lot of people. Some are cool, while others get gutted by the shinobi of justice... or justice as we see it." As he said the last bit the chopstick that he held burst into flames at one end. The boy began to act like he was stabbing someone multiple times. With that statement the boy put the flame out and dropped the chopstick. He jumped down from the table and walked over to his own. He put his elbows on the table as he leaned over it. He grabbed a bread stick. "Sometimes We break the rules for fun, but the friends you meet along the way count the most." Now he stood upright, devouring the dough.

"Are you afraid to travel?" He wondered how she felt about travelers such as himself. He knew how quick the lands could spread a bad reputation.

 

[Chikamatsu Shin]

Kumomi would laugh at the boy, he was endearing. There was something about him that made her start to feel warm inside. She couldn't exactly describe it but as the boy pranced about on the table tops she knew that this boy was different than all of those who she had met before. She felt comfortable talking to him about numerous topics that she had never addressed. She honestly didn't even care where he was from anymore, she just wanted to get to know him more. "You break the rules for fun?"<i></i> She would ask in a teasing kinda way. She would lean back slightly in her seat to get a better view of her date. He was handsome to say the least. She blushed a little as her mind may have trickled off somewhere. "No, Uzi-kun, I am not afraid to travel. I would actually really like to travel at some point before I progress any further in my ranks and loose all of my free time."<i></i> She'd smile and break into a slight chuckle as she finished up her food. She would look at the boy as she suck the rest of the food off of her spoon. "That was delicious, thank you."<i></i> She grinned at the boy. She really started to find this boy endearing.

((OoC:[progress]100[/progress] fyi))

 

[Uziuke]

(( =D ))

"Nah, it was nothing." Uziuke turned around and took a few steps away from the table. The boy was actually thankful that he met Kumomi. 'Without her this day wouldn't have been as great.' After hearing that the girl wouldn't mind traveling it awoke something in him. "Well why not come out and travel with me?" The boy pointed a thumb at himself with a playful smile as he raised his eyebrows and turned back around. "I won't lie and say everything is peaches and cream when you get out there." The boy looked to the ceiling with a smile, thinking of what he went through just to make it to this village.

He turned back around to the emerald eyed girl. "You'll do great with a travel buddy. Someone that knows the way and isn't afraid to get a little dirty here and there." Suggesting himself as a travel guide, Uziuke knew there was something about this girl that he liked. He wanted to keep her as a friend, and he wasn't exactly ready to leave this village yet. He was just starting to have a good time.

The boy sat atop of their table as he went on. "Of course I'm currently enjoying your village, and would like to learn more about it. But when that day comes and it's time for me to leave, I'd like to show you what's beyond this village."</B><i></i> There was a lot to explore beyond the gates.

<B>"There are places that I haven't even explored yet. Maybe we could check those places out together?" The boy looked out the windows of the establishment as he spoke. He thought about showing her Kirigakure, his home village, but he dropped the thought for now. He didn't see the trouble in pulling the girl away from her village for a while. He figured she'd come back more experienced in the shinobi way. Who knew? She'd probably learn more while out with the teen Uchiha.

Grabbing a toothpick the boy clenched it with his teeth, sort of chewing on it. "You ready to go?" The boy asked, stretching his hand out to his date. He wanted to see more of what the village has to offer under the moonlight.
