Traveling

[josephthedivine]

"fair question, a tactic taught myself for battle, a jolt of pain forces me awake, then a quick fix with bandages and I'm fine" he smiled "its not something I do much around people I've just met, but I think your generosity should be repaid, I hope you wouldn't be angry that I'd do that, I can deal with a lot of pain"

[hitomichama]

"I see..." Hitomi said. Her ramen had arrived, and she had finished half of it. "Well, to seem fair, you can ask me anything. I have nothing ot hide, and nothing I don't mind saying." She smiled warmly at him.

[josephthedivine]

"thanks, tell me anything anything about yourself" Tsing happily asked, his eyes meeting hers 'wow, she doesn't seem to have a motive to kill me or recruit me, and she's still here... thats a first' he thought, now confused, he now was really happy, the pain subsided in a few seconds, he had energy though, he smiled a real smile, it was more welcoming, something he didn't do for most people

[hitomichama]

"Hmm..." Hitomi thought, pondering this for a minute. "Well, I live with my brother, his name is Yosuko. I've lived with him since I was five..." She trailed off, remembering the past. She normally wouldn't be comfortable with talking about it, but today was different. She stopped and looked at Tsing.
"I don't really know what else to say."

[josephthedivine]

"alright" he nodded showing he understood "not a great childhood, huh?" he guessed as she trailed off from lived with him since i was five that usually meant something happened, he had learned this because so many were opened as much as they could remember, "you don't have to go on about it if you don't want"

"It's fine." She said, leaning back in her chair and looking up at the ceiling. "My home was attacked by assassin-nin. They set our house on fire. Me and my brother made it out, but my parents didn't." She swallowed hard, looking back at Tsing. "But I'm past it now."
'Why is it so hard to read him?' She thought. 'I'll figure out how to do it some way or another. I can always read people. I'll figure it out.'

[josephthedivine]

"I think I had it worse, I never knew my parents, I was raised to be a killer in a class of students, everyone died to my hand, that was my first trip here, the teachers told me they'd wake up, yet I saw them buried, I destroyed the lab where I was raised and I've wandered since" he smiled "I'm not sure why I came back, It seemed like I had to, but, it's over now, so I'm trying to find something to do while I'm here"

[hitomichama]

"Wow, I thought I had it bad." Hitomi said. She then mentally slapped herself. She bowed slightly to Tsing.
"I'm sorry." She said. "That was rude of me to say." She looked back at her bowl of now cold ramen.
'I'm a horrible conversationaist.' She thought. 'I need to think before I speak.'

[josephthedivine]

Tsing chuckled softly, "no, its fine, I understand, I like it when people speak their mind's, it's more comforting to know how one thinks really than how they appear on the surface"

[hitomichama]

"IT is good to know what people are actually feeling then what they just appear to be feeling." Hitomi said, looking back down at her ramen. "Well, I'm done." She said. "If you want, I could show you where my house is, you still look slightly tired."

[josephthedivine]

"sounds good" Tsing payed for the ramen, "thank you again for letting me stay at your house, I really appreciate it" he still smiled, actually liking someone for the first time in a long while

[hitomichama]

"It's no problem at all." Hitomi said, smiling.
'Tsing is really nice' She thought. She stood up and lead him toward her home, which was in the less crowded part of Konoha. It was small, a one story house. Inside was a kitchen attached to a dining are and a living room, and down the hall were two bed rooms and a bathroom.
"You can stay in my brother's room." She said, leading him down the hall to Yosuko's room. It was painted a pale green color, the bed coer a darker green. There was a bed side table to the right of his bed, and a window to the left. The blinds were a green color.
"The bathroom is just down the hall." She said, pointing out where the bathroom was.

[josephthedivine]

"thank you" he laid on the bed and began to think about life, he always did so before sleeping, this time he still had too much energy to sleep, he did hand signs quickly, 'false death jutsu' he muttered and was unconscious for thirty minutes, waking up rested and restored of energy, he took the bandages off his arm to see if he had healed yet, he was usually a quick healer, and this was no different, the bleeding had stopped, he put the bandages in his pocket, 'I'll get rid of those later' he thought, he stood up, and pulled a book out of a bag he carried, it was all the jutsus and skills of every ninja he'd fought, as he finished he walked out of the room

[hitomichama]

'That was fast' Hitomi thought as Tsing walked out into the hall. She was writing at the kitchen table in her journal. She loved to write. This particular day, she was writing poetry.

If no one pays mind to you
Are you really there?
Can you be heard,
If you speak loud enough?
Can you be seen,
If you jump high enough?
Can you be loud,
When naturally quiet?

She was having trouble with the last two lines.
"Do you want anything to eat?" She asked. "I could make something."

[josephthedivine]

"no thank you" Tsing responded "what are you writing?" he asked happily taking an interest was also something, other than battle or himself, he'd not done in a while, he walked over and sat next to Hitomi
