Open Walking through town

[Kyuji]

Things were going quite well tonight today. I was able to reconnect with Ryuni after a few days and able to see some of the new stars of the village with some molding and time for them to grow as individuals if they chose to go down the path of being a shinobi - there was nothing wrong if they did not want to do that as each role in the village was vital in its own way. Within a few moments, we were lead into the home of Miss Naomi and met with her mother who was a older woman that had similar physical traits as her daughter. I would give her a smile as she extended her hand and I gave her a firm, but considerate handshake before taking a step back to allow Ayaka and Ryunci to exchange their own pleasantries with the lady of the house. Yes, I did notice her two brothers that were similar in age and saw them blushing before they walked away which was fair as becoming a woman and the descendant of Byakko allowed me to keep my fair skin and youthful appearance - they didn't need to know what my actual age would be if aging didn't seem to stop for me. A small giggle would admit from my lips when Naomi asked Ryuni to keep them occupied as I put a hand on his shoulder and said: "Keep them busy, but don't get too rough with them. You are a shinobi so you need to know when to hold your strength back and when to let it go, Ryuni."

When everyone was settling in to do their own things, Naomi's mother would approach me and ask if I could help her. A smile back at her, I said: "Of course, Lady Rin. That sounds like a lovely idea to me. Lead the way." I would then turn back to Naomi and Ayaka with the same soft, warm smile and speak to them: "I am looking forward to the meal, Naomi and Ayaka. Have fun preparing it!" I would then turn back to Naomi's mama and nod. Hopefully, Ryuni would take the hint that Naomi's mother mentioned to me and let the two young females have some alone time together to talk about things. It was good for the youth of the village to build connections in their professional careers absolutely, but it was also important to build friendships to help them grow as individuals. Our world was not getting any easier so any light in the dark was more than welcoming.

 

[Yamashiro Ryuni]

The golden eyes of the boy would mark the mother of Naomi and then the brothers and he would smirk. This was such a lively environment for them to be apart of on this night, and with the night falling deeper he would note that he too would have to report to his home eventually, but he wouldnt need a chaperone for it. The Yamashiro Clan housing wasnt too far from where they were. Alas, he would look to Naomi with a glint of mischief in his eyes but Kyuji would snap that quickly with her words. There wouldnt be anything he would be able to do about it either, because the last thing he would want to do would be to make his sensei mad. Or to disappoint her. However, he was a playful guy. So he would accommodate the brothers for now until the food was done. He'd bow deeply to greet Naomi's mother, respect and honoring the late father of the house without bringing attention to it.

His eyes would meet Ayaka's for a moment before he would speak, thadunk then looking to Naomi's for the moment too, thadump. What was this unusual feeling in his chest, it was something he would have to speak to his mother about. Or maybe he would pull Kyuji aside... Maybe Yuuto would know a thing or two being that he was a male and someone not trying to actively kill him. The details on that Ryuni didnt know for certain just yet...

"Sure, I can keep your brothers occupied for the moment! But I cant guarantee that there wont be some... fun amongst us men! Hehe!", he'd smile, then looking to Ayaka, "I look forward to seeing what you ladies make! Something to get me stronger!" His eyes would look in the direction of where the boys had gone before he'd begin down there.

"Oioi! Lets Arm Wrestle! Winner gets the biggest piece of meat at dinner! HAHA!"

 

[Rin Naomi]

Naomi's mother would work with Kyuji as they would cook the steaks. "So tell me, Miss," She would start, "Are you also a ninja? Naomi hasn't had much friends that possess chakra. Most of her non-chakra friends kind of fell off from contacting her." Naomi would overhear her mom talk about her to Kyuji. She knows that her mom means well, about trying to help them understand about her more. "Though you do look like you're in your twenties. Are you her sensei? She hasn't talked much about her ninja life to us."

Naomi would roll her eyes in a friendly way before looking over at Ayaka. "Moms, am I right? Always trying to get more involved in our lives." She would hug her mom, "I'll always love you either way." Then a thought hit her, "Oh! Mom, hope you don't mind that Ayaka is staying over tonight."

"It's fine, Naomi, I'm just glad to see you're making friends again." She gave the two girls a soft smile as she would then say to Ayaka, "If you would like to, can you mash the potatoes?" She would hand Ayaka a small tool that would help mash the potatoes.

She didn't really think much about Ryuni being much stronger than her brothers, then again, her brothers don't have chakra capabilities like she does, so maybe Ryuni is much stronger than them. Her brothers would each take turns to arm wrestle Ryuni, but to both of their surprise, the boy would easily be able to beat them both.

The house was lively as the girls helped the two older women make the food and the boys all were still arm wrestling. About thirty minutes later, food would be ready and the table was set. "Wow." Naomi's mother said, "It's really been a while since this place has been so lively!" She would look at Kyuji, Ryuni, and Ayaka, "I want you thank you all for both taking your time to help us out and putting a smile on my Naomi's face. This means the world to me as it means to her."

Naomi's face would go red, not used to this type of talk. "Mom...." She started, she then looked at them as well. "But I do hope that we all can be friends forever"
