A girl with a smile

[amaya]

(Sorry, I deleted my last comment -.-' I'm clueless)
"YOU'RE NOT THAT OLD!" Yelled Amaya. "Of course I like your company."
"And for doing something..." She said in much quieter tone.
"Nothing comes to my mind." Amaya told them calmly.
"Actually I was hoping you have any ideas." She added and smiled sweetly.
"I'm OK with everything!" She said.

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"Well," Kyokki thought for a moment, but couldn't think of anything partcuarlly exciting...

"Maybe you could show us around? I wouldn't mind seeing the village friom an insider's point of view. Well, you know what I mean. And-"

Kyokki's stomache growled loudly.

Amane grinned, and tugged gently at her neice's hair.

"Let's get the kiddo here something to eat from a stand or something. Just a snack, you don't want to ruin your dinner."

"BACHAN!"

[amaya]

Amaya giggled and nodded at the same time.
"Of course I will lead you everywhere you would like." She said.
"But you need to tell me what would you like to eat. There's many restaurants, all kind of food shops including candy shops. My favorite is Ichiraku's Ramen Bar. They have the best ramen there!" Exclaimed Amaya and smiled.
"So where do you want to go?" She asked Kyokki.

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"We're having Sukiyaki at the hotel restaurant for dinner," Amane reminded Kyokki, "So nothing too much." She tended to act like a mother to the Hisakata-turned-Tenkiame at times.

"Maybe we could get Yakisoba-pan from a stand or something," Kyokki sugested, rolling her eyes, " and maybe a bottle of Mitsuya Cider. The grape's my favorite soda. You lead."

[amaya]

Amaya nodded deep in thoughts. Then the idea hit her. Her face lighten up and her smile widen.
"I know the perfect place. Let's go!" She yelled very hyper.
She grabbed Kyokki-san and Amane-san for their wrists and started dragging them along the street. Amaya stopped on the large market hall. There were many stands with all sort of food.
"Here we are!" Announced Amaya and let go of Kyokki-san and Amane-san.

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"Awesome," Kyokki smiled. She caught sight of a stand selling Yakisoba andMitsuya cider, and was delighted. "Kind of like that food court in Umi no Kuni... but better."

Smilingly slightly at how naive Kyokki could act, Amane pressed several yen into her palm. "Get me a chocolate milkshake, Miss Hungry."

[amaya]

Amaya grinned happily. "Glad you like it!"

She looked around the stands and one catched her eye. Amaya rushed over and at the same time pulled out her wallet.

"Come on Kyokki-san!" She called after her new friend. "Let's get something for snack."

She stopped at the stand drinks. 'Which one should I take?' She thought while lookin around.

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

Kyokki took her change and her food from the vendor, breathing the appetizing scent as a hungry grin lit her face, and her stomache grumbled.

She gave the shake to Amane, and then hesitently took a bite of the Yakisoba-pan, wondering how it held up to it's Ame no Kuni counterpart. She didn't need to worry, how ever.

"Great choice of location, definitely, Amaya-san! It taste great."

[amaya]

"Thanks!" Exclaimed Amaya happily as she got her Yakisoba-pan.
"I always wanted to try one of this, but never get the chance to do so." She said on loud and took a small bite of it.
After munching for few seconds Amaya's eyes turned to hearts.
"That's great!" She yelled out and ate some more. She was feeling very happy and she wasn't hungry anymore.
"You have really good taste Kyokki-san." She said in between bites.

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"Thanks," Kyokki smiled, "Why don't we walk while we eat? We'll cover more ground that way."


"We've been to Konoha several times," Amane told Amaya, "but we've never really seen it from an insider's point of view. The Tenkiame have been less then helpful. Kyokki-chan's cousin, Sen was supposed to show her around, but Kyokki can hardly ever get her out of Tahai-teki na Mangakisa , you know, the restraunt, and away from her comics and computers. And when she does, she always got her headphones on, listening to her MP3 player."
"Bachan!" Kyokki scolded, "She's family!"

"Yours, not mine," Amane shrugged.

[amaya]

Amaya nodded and started to walk. "It must be really different to come to another village then to live there your whole life." She said.
"My cousin lives in Sand village and when I go there, everything looks exciting and new. But he doesn't think sand can be much fun..." Her mind went back to her black-haired relative with serious face and black eyes. Amaya suddenly realized she got lost in her thoughts again.
"Sorry about that. It's just I start to daydream every time I thought about Tako. He is like a brother to me." She apologized.
"You say you have a relative here named Sen? I've never met her before."

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"Tenkiame Senhime. But everyone calls her Sen" Kyokki explained, "My mom, Mitsukai, was her dad, Dekiaki's big sister. When I came here from Ame, I think he was secretly delighted, at least at first. He says I look a lot like kachan did, but I don't see it. Tell me about your cousin."


Amane grinned mentally. She could definitely see the resemblence in question, but she let her quirky niece keep what delusions she would.

"Trust me," she told Amaya, "sand's only fun for just a while before you want to suck out the desert. And the sandstorms drive you nuts in Suna."

[amaya]

Amaya tilted her head a little. "Tako is taller than me and have black hair like I. His eyes are black and his serious all the time. He is two years older than me. And sometimes he acts so adult-like!"
Amaya paused for few seconds. "But he is GREAT! I visit him almost every week and he is really nice guy when you get to know him. But he have a problem...He doesn't like girls very much. Tako is all shy around women, except for few that is."
Amaya finished, still thinking what else to say. "Is there anything you would like to know about him?"

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"Has he ever been to Amegakure?"

Kyokki asked, trying to figure out if this guy would be safe to meet. For bachan, realy, not herself. After all, their was a lot they couldn't risk.


Amane resisted both frowning and smiling at her niece's concern . She wanted Kyokki to make friends, not worry. Besides, Amane was supposed to protect her, not the other way around.

[amaya]

Amaya opened her mouth to say something when someone interrupted her.

"Well, well if it isn't my little sister." A man's voice came behind her.

Amaya's eyes widen as she turned around and met the gaze of her older brother. "Kai-ni-chan! You're back!" She yelled with surprised face. Then she rushed to him and hugged him tightly.

Kai smiled, but pulled back quickly. He patted her head and chuckled. "Still as enthusiastic as I remember." He said with a smirk.

Amaya scratched the back of her head. Kai looked at her for a second then noticed two other women standing near them. Amaya saw Kai's look on her new friends and grinned.

"Kai this is Kyokki-san." Amaya said pointing to the gold-haired girl. "And this is Amane-san." She added. "Kyokki-san, Amane-san this is my older brother Kai Ukito." She finished smiling.
