Early Morning(Inukami)

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"What did they throw you out for, Inu-chan?" Kyokki asked, her tone one of bitterness, although she was relieved that her secret was safe, at least. If Inu-chan had revealed herself to be a missing nin, she wouldn't turn Kyokki in to the Amegakure goverment.

See Amane-bachan she felt like saying my intuition IS sometimes right. Inu-chan and I are two of the same.

[Inukami]

"for going against some government people,but trust me it was all self defense they wanted to kill my little brother..".she said angryly
"in the end they killed all of my family".she said bitterly feeling tears in the edge of her eyes
"why are you a missing nin what did you do?''.she asked a slight frown on her face

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"To be honest, I have no earthly idea. Oh, I know the exuse of course, but I don't know why they really did it.

"Amane-bachan and I were both depressed- her from the war, and me because I'm me. That's why we left. When we came back, there had been an upheval; the goverment had been overthrown.

"My mother was born and raised here in Konoha, so they called her a spy and hung her. A public execution..."

Kyokki's voice broke for a moment, but she pressed on.

"They told everyone my father and brother had died on a mission, but everyone knew what really happened. Then they acused my Aunt and I of helping plot against the goverment and against my Aunt Tatsuta in Kirigakure, whose husband was murdered. Tatsuta herself had a mental breakdown, and my cousins were no where to be found. They blamed us.

"When Amane-bachan's old war buddy tried to help us escape, they murered her. And they did the same thing to my Aunt Semiko, aunt Tatsuta's twin after she helped us escape jail and flee the village.

"Our stories aren't that different, ne?"

[Inukami]

shivers ran down through inu's spine
"how..could they do such a thing?".she asked her heart beating fast
"that..just shows what a human can do to another human were the worst and best beings on earth".she said gazing off
she then turned her head toward kyo her lip quivering
"yes..we are i feel..so empty sometimes when i think about things like this".

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"I don't know," Kyokki said honestly, "I don't think I ever will. Even knwoing wouldn't make it better. They still did it. What make me hate them the most is that my Aunt risked her life on the front lines for Ame for so many years. I almost never got to meet her. And then they go and betray all of us."

[Inukami]

she looked down
"their the true trators...".she said in a whisper
she loked at the ground blankly so many bad things had happened to her and her friend she just didn't understand why some had amazing carefree lifes while some had hard lives it wasn't fair to her at all
"i guess when someone has alot of authrity they tend to miss use it

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"It's human nature, I guess. Only some people actually have the guts and the self-restraint to resist it. I'm sorry I brought it up. This isn't a very easy opic for either of us, ne?"

She started to sing back and forth again, in an effort to calm herself. It was a comforting, familiar movement. The feel of a swing underneath you felt mostly the same your whole life. It didn't change.

[Inukami]

"it's ok i don't mind talking about it".she said pulling the swing behind her and letting go making herself swing higher
"anyway after this we can go see aiji that is if you like?".she asked
"so anyways what's your fav show eh?".she asked trying to change the subject

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"Alright," she agreed shakily, "I'd like to see her. Nanies are cute, ne? Actually, I don't like TV that much. I watch a few of those medical drama type shows when I feel like it. But I've gotten used to never having the same chanels two weeks in a row, so I'm not exactly hooked on any of them.

[Inukami]

<do u like house it would be cool if we could talk about it do u know wat house is in japanese?>
"oh well i'm hooked i love tv it's like my bestfriend".she chuckled getting off the swing and walking ahead a bit before kneeling down and playing with some onion grass

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

Kyoki jumped off, but her feet slid out from under her, so he ended up on her back.

"Ow," she laughed as she landed in a patch of wildflowers, accidently crushing them. Wincing she sat up.

"I haven't done THAT in forever." She got up, brushing herself off as best she could.

"Do I have grass stains on my back?" she asked sheepishly.

(I love house. Don't know if it airs in Japan, though)

[Inukami]

inukami laughed amused
"i wish i did that!".she smiled
she stood up and walked behind kyo chan
"yup a huge big grss stan">she lied gigling a bit
"hahahahahaha haha haha ".she laughed in her head jumping around then she stopped and helped kyo up
"anywayz lets go race ya eh?".she said runing ahead not waiting for her to caugh up

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

Kyokki shook herself off.

"Ow. That's gonna bruise," she said and then realized Inu-chan had challenged her to a race.

"Hey, that's not fair Inukami! I can't race becuase I don't know where we're going! Wait up!"

She tried to catch up, but she had landed on her ankle funny, and had to wait for the shooting pains to stop.

[Inukami]

inukami chuckled then ran back to kyokki
"sorry i'm such a cheater".she laughed
"are you ok cuz like your like runing funny".she said worried a bit
inukami really wanted to show kyokki her daugter aiji loved it when she met new people and what ever made her happy made inu happy as well

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

"I'm fine. I just landed on my ankle funny, You know, how when you jump off of something and it just kind of shoots pains through it? I should be fine now, though.Come on, let's go see Aiji-san. Who's taking care of her right now, anyway?"

She followed Inukami-chan without hesitation, towards the house where Aiji was.
