Out of the Sling!

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka decided not to answer Yuo's protest. "That's when that happened!?" she said surprisedly. "After you three abandon me..." she added, remembering that she had been with Kuzio when they had decided to spy on Yukio and Shizuke. They just sorta ran off without her and then she lost track of them. She couldn't help but laugh.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

Yuo frowned and looked over at Konoha.
I nodded and kept on peering over the edge.
"Yep, Kuzio almost freaked, I thikn I gave him a heart attack!" I laughed.
Yukio nodded and laughed.
"He looked terrifed." Yukio said.
"Then he jumped after her." Yukio added.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka laughed for a bit at the story, suddenly realizing that Yuo was no long smiling. She bit her lip, hoping this wasn't due to her 'showoff' comment. "Well, i'd have to say that he would have to be worried, seeing as jumping off of mountains is slightly hazadous to your health." she joked.

She looked back at Yuo and her hand subconsiously laid on her pendant. The photo of Yuo that she had recieved from Shizuke was hidden behind her nechlaces' pendant. That way, it was always close. She had tried keeping it in her bag, but it just wasn't the same.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

"I know." I said.
"It was too hrd to resist though." I said.
"I wanted to see what it felt like to fly...for a few moments." I said.
Yukio laughed more.
Yuo looked over at Haruka and forced a smile on his face.
"You want to jump?" he asked. He gave her a loving look with a small smile.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka rolled her eyes with a smile at Shizuke's 'i wanted to fly' comment. "Thank you, Yuo, but i'd rather not go splat today." she joked back, returning his smile. SHe leaned back, allowing her head to rest on his shoulder. She just hoped he didn't mind. She continued to rotate her shoulder. It was still extremely stiff from being immobile for the past week.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

Yuo sighed and moved in a bit closer to her.
"You won't go splat, not if I catch you." Yuo said, closing his eyes and sighing again.
I smiled.
"It felt good to have the wind pushing against your face for a long period of time." I said, smiling happily.
"But then, I found out that, your dreams aren't always real." I said. Yukio kept on smiling.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

"Well, Shi, if you ever feel like flying..." Haruka said, not even looking back at her female companions, "Just ask me... I've got elemental possestion. Remember?" she chuckled slightly.

Surprisingly, she found herself listening to Yuo's hearbeat again. It was so much different than before. Calmer, smoother, much more relaxed. "I still don't think i want to jump off a mountain. It's a human sense thing..." she said softly.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I shook my head.
"No, I got my thrill." I said, laughing a bit. I watch Yuo and Haruka. I sighed and smiled, it was wonderful to see them getting along.
"I'd fly! Anytime!" Yukio exclaimed happily.
"Ok, but if you ever want to, you know I'll catch you." Yuo said, sighing again. He put his around Haruka's waist and pulled her closer.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka was barely listening to Shizuke and Yukio anymore. "Some other time, Yukio..." she mumbled half-heartedly. She snugged her head a bit under Yuo's chin. A bit of blush still showed up on her face as she did so however, since she knew there were spectators watching their every move. "Yes, i know that Yuo; him not stupid... most of the time..."

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

Yuo sighed and smiled more.
"Yeah, I'm going to catch you, wherever you are." he said to her.
My eyes widened as I watched them both.
"Aren't they so kawaii?" I whispered to Yukio. Yukio nodded in agreement.
"SO KAWAII!" she exclaimed.
"Too Kawaii." I added, giggling.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka squirmed a little at Shizuke and Yukio's comments, but tryed to remain as calm as possible. "Thank you, Yuo..." she said, soft enough that only he could hear. She hoped at he would understand it was for more than just his promist to catch her. It was for everything he had done for her. "And if you two say one more thing out of context..." she added rather loudly so that Yukio and Shizuke would hear it, "I'll be forced to push you over the edge." She smiled, she was only kidding.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I jumped a bit then laughed.
"Go ahead!" I exclaimed, jokingly.
"I'll go for it." Yukio said, shrugging a bit.
"You're welcome." Yuo whispered to her.
"Keep smiling." he whispered to her.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka snickered, both to respond to Yuo's request and just to laugh at Yukio's statement. "Is that good?" she asked for approval, taking face away from it's snuggling possition to look at him. Her cheeks were still pink and hot, but she didn't care. "This would be so much less awkward if certain people weren't here..." she whispered.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

"You guys should do this more." I said, still chuckling to myself.
"I'm not kidding about this, you two are adorable together!" I exclaimed. Yukio nodded in agreement.
"Shizuke is right, it's not often that Yuo get's the close to a girl that he's not very close with." Yukio said.
Yuo tried to hide his embarassment, but failed.
"Less? It's awkward anyways, I mean, Yukio has a point. It's not very often that I do get this close with a girl, besides Shizuke and Yukio." Yuo whispered to Haruka.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka smirked smugly at him, slight embarassment on her own face as well. "Really? Well, then i guess i should feel honored." She smiled. It didn't really surprise her that Yuo wouldn't get real close to a girl. To tell the truth, she hadn't tried not to get too close to people as well, for fear of putting them in danger.
She suddenly felt a strange, familiar chakra presence. "Oh no..." she squirmed slightly with nerves. "Not--"
Kiro jumped off a nearby ledge and onto Haruka's lap, "HARU-CHAN!!!" He yelled happily, separating each sylibols. Grinning largely, he poked her. "What you doing up here?"
"Kiro..." she rolled her eyes.
