The return from the cast

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Santo smiled and said"maybe latter we can go and see the surprise"he issed her forehead and began to think 'what coukld it be he had made her' this made him sort of curious and would like to think of what it is and how it looked where he got it"what do you think it is"he asked curiously he looked into her eyes happily

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I couldn't help but giggle.
"I peeked." I said.
"It's a sort of scrapbook. It has an empty space on the front, but I didn't get a chance to look inside because Yuo opened the door and almost caught me." I said.

Yuo took a picture the moment he thought Haruka looked nice. He smiled happily at her.
"It's for the surprise." he said. He put the camera on his desk and set it. He climbed over and stood behind Haruka, peering over her shoulder as he turned so she would look at the camera. The camera flashed and Yuo immediately took the pictures out and began cutting them down to size.
"Close your eyes. I'll tell you when to open them."

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka gave one of her nicest smiles before the camera flashed, just in time for it to be captured. It was almost too close of a call. Briefly sticking her tongue out at him, she joked out a complant, "Well, thanks. You're no fun." she said, a smirk appearing on her face as she said it.
Yuo suddenly moved around her, to her surprise, and took another picture. This one she was not quite as prepared for an her smile was awkward, her eyes filled with her shock. "Gee, a little warning would have been nice..." she mumbled cooly. But, she followed his orders, and covered his eyes, waiting. She had never had anything like a surprise before. So this was definetly a first for her.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

Yuo pulled out a bit of glue and a few pieces of blue paper. He folded the blue pieces of paper into little roses and pulled the scrapbook out from the box. He pulled out a few loose pictures too. Yuo cut the pictures down to size and put a picture of the lock that had Harujka's mothers name on the front, right on the front of the scrapbook. He glued the pictures inside and the roses too. He put the scrapbook down infront of Haruka and smiled.
"Open your eyes now." he said.
"IT took me forever to make. Every page is a different colour, and when we were in the Land of Tea, I managed to get a few pictures of the things inside of the trunk. I took pictures of the pictures in the photo albums too."

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Santo nodded and looked down saying"I rarely have pictures as you well know.My home has inly paintings and a few pictures."he began to think'I dont even own a cammera with which to take the pictures.'He looked at her house and how nice it looked compared to his own all the walls at is home were old all he could do was what he normaly did to them clean them so no dust gathered.One of his daily rituals now was to clean every inch of his home so as not to alow it to lose its beauty.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I looked at him, my arms now crossed.
"No pictures?" I asked.
"You're joking. You've got to have pictures of your family! I walked over and swept a frame and brought it over. I pointed to my father.
"That was my father, and my mother, and Yuo, and me." I said, pointing to each person. The baby in the picture, with short, short, black hair was me.
"I've got tons of family photos without me, and with me, up until I was ten of course." I said.
"I was ten when my father left, and that's when the yearly family photo stopped."

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Santo slowly shook his head and said"we have abotu ten pictures and they are only of the greatest shinobi of my clan very few people in my family ever had there picture taken."he looked at the picture and at all of them around him he then thought of his own home the only portrait with him and his parents was in the guest room they had that picture painted as tradition was to know where each part of the family came from so that all the pictures were of major events he had painted some more recently himself of the battle of the nine tailed demon and some of the more recent events of the village

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

When she was given the approval, Haruka opened up her eyes to looked at a decorated ablum in front of her. She stared at it for a second before she finally reached out to pick it up and flip through it slightly. "Yuo... I..." she murmured, unsure of how to thank him. She knew that if she hugged him it would be far too happily argressive and would probably hurt his arm. "I love it... this is... I've never..." she looked up at him a large smile on her face. "Thank you..." she said quietly. It was taking alot of effort for her to hold back her enthusiasm.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

"Open it up." Yuo said.
"Look through it, I put the picture that you showed me, with you, your sister, and your mother in the kitchen, right in the front." he said.
"I took pictures of all the pictures in the albums, so then, if something were to ever happen to the real pictures, you'd still have all of these." he said. Yuo was waiting for Haruka to lunge at him and hug him, so he sat back, patiently.

I sighed.
"Ok, You need more pictures." I said. I pulled my camera from my back pocket.
"Bring it back to me in a couple days or so, go take some pictures."

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

She nodded, opening it to the first page, and then moving through the rest of them. She recogized every pictures. Every one of them. It was nice to have a single album so she would not have to go searching through all of the originals. "Yuo, this is so great..." she said, looking up at him again and giving a wide smile. "Are there any other pictures in here, other than copies of my old ones?" she asked curiously. It was getting harder and harder to restrain, but she was managing.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He smiled as he gave it back to her and said"ill go into town latter and buy one of my own it will be better that way it is kinda bothersome if everytime I wana take a picture I have to come bug you besides that will mean that I can learn for myself"he had only seen a camera a few times before mainly with shizuke so he felt it would be a learning experince for him and that it would come in handy someday

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I sighed, a bit annoyed that he would not take my camera. I put it in his hand and closed his hand around it.
"You heard me." I said.
"Go take some pictures. It has new batteries, which I just put in yesterday, and, I printed off a few copies of the pictures on it, so it's empty and free for more pictures." I said.
"Then you don't need a memory card, or batteries. Go take some pictures with my camera, and then once you think you've had enough practice, you can bring it back and then you can go get your own."

Yuo nodded. He flipped the pages right to the back. There were the pictures Yuo had just taken, and a few more of himself and her.
"Yup. Of course." he said.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka quirked her head at the new page Yuo had just opened the album too. "Surprising... I thought for sure you would use some of the pictures that Shizuke and Yukio took when they were spying." she said with a smirk. These were definetly pictures that he himself had taken of them. "I'll need to take up scrapbooking or something and start bringin my camera over." she mumbled, more to herself. Now that she had somewhere to put pictures, she could actually take them more often.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

SAnto looked at the cammera and then set it gently down on a nearby spot saying"I dont need to ill just go buy one it wont cost me much besides I find that when I have my own I can learn to work them better"he smiled once more and looked into her eyes he held ehr hand with his own and hugged her gently he whispered"dont you worry about me I am tougher and learn better on my own"

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I sighed. I was just trying to be friendly and nice, it would be easier if we just sat down and explained my camera to him right then and there. I sighed again and hugged him back, just barely. I actually still felt bad for what I had done earlier.

Yuo showed her the back, where there was a collage of photos Yukioi and I had taken.
"I wouldn't forget those pictures." he said.
"Haruka, I went through every picture of you and I, I could find. I put a couple of just you, and one or two of just me, so you'll never forget."
