a hearts twisted pain

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Naito sat between two trees in the middle of the woods his mind calm his body also.He was tired this day and feel asleep beneath the tree his sicle in his hand he was half asleep in truth.He never slept compltely since he found it in good wisdom to never be trully full asleep without some kind of back up by them.This day was alone and open to any attack

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

Kyokki saw Naito from a distance as she walke dthrough the woods, searching for somethng she had lost the day before. He was stretched out and sleeping, his weapon in hand. Just like Naito...

Quietly she walked up by him, and squated down to the groud looking arounfd the base of one of the trees for the item she had lost. She didn't want to wake him.

[Inukami]

akiko walked through the woods a smirk on her face.
''today i will caugh that cat".she said loudly
as she walked cheerfully she spoted naito half asleep and some girl she had never seen before
"what the?".she thought as she walked closer not wanting to wake him as well
"why is there a girl next to him?".she asked her self

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Naito woke suddenly alerted to the presences around him he had his sicle drawn his eyes wide awake his vision still blury not seeing who was around him he said "Who dares try to sneak up on me in my sleep"he blinked a little still not quite able to see his long black hair in his face but he could still sense them

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

Kyokki sensed chakra behind her and turned slightly to face the new comer. She saw a girl, and smiled, standing up.

"Hi," she called quietly, "Have you seen a blue leather journal with photos and poem and stuff inside. Being the idiot I am, I left it lying somewhere."

She gestured for the girl to keep her voice down so they didn't wake Naito, still smiling. Then she realized he was awake.

"Hey Naito-kun" she grinned., "Have you seen it?"

[Inukami]

akiko smiled back feeling like she needed to be nice to someone that was nice to her
"oh hi,no sorry i haven't seen it but i can help you look".she told her in a whisper her long brown hair blowing behind her
akiko didn't say a word when naito woke up she just didn't want to talk right away

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Naitos eyes slowly opened more and said "sorry I havnt seen any journals ive been mainly asleep"he wasnt good at recognizing voices so he tried to identify who they were and said "who are you out there I can not see at moment please tell me who are you"he tried to rub his eyes since they seemed friendly

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

Kyokki laughed.

"It's Kyokki Tenkiame, Naito-kun, and..."

She realized she didn't know the other girl's name.

"Thanks for offering to help me. I thought I left the journal at my cousin Sen's, but I decided to check here when they couldn't find it. Whats your name, by the way?"

She honestly didn't know where she ahd left bachan's journal. amane had given it back to her so she could take a couple of pictures from the top of the Hokage mountain. Amane-vbachan hated hieghts, but had wanted to see the view.

[Inukami]

akiko smiled and jumped on naito playfully
"hii it's me akiko hope you didn't forget cutie".she giggled hugging him then she looked up at the girl
"you have a pretty name".she said cheerfully unlike her usual mean cold self
akiko missed naito so much and was so happy to see him little did she know that this was about to be a very awkward get together

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

Kyokki tensed a little, wondering. But she decided to simply smile.

"Thank you," she replied softly, a little afraid to say anything to Akiko, "You too."

After a hesitant moment, she finally asked, "So you're a friend of Naito-kun's, too?"

Biting her lip, she slowly started to let Amane-bachan's birthday journal and her quest for its where-abouts sink to the back of her mind.

[Inukami]

"a friend? haha no he's my boy toy".she giggled giving him a kiss on his cheeks
"so how do you know each other?".she asked still huggng him closely
akiko was way more cheerful then she had been in many years."aw look how cute he looks".she thought blushing and hugging him tighter then ever

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

Kyokki stopped as if she had been struck. Her eyes got wide. Obviously Akiko-san didn't know, but Naito-kun....

Before or after ... she found was the first thing that came to her mind. The first thing off of her lips was, "Oh my-"

Kyokki didn't finish; she was unable to contiue as Akiko-san kept smiling and bouncing around, obviviously happy. Naito had never actually said anything but...she had thought... were they...

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

Naito couldnt see well and he hugged the person back and then got up and walked over to kyo-chan he hugged her as he thought'stupid heart you always betray your user'after he did so he began to walk off a bit into the distance he didnt know what to do or say so he went just out of there sight and watched from a distance

[Kyokki Tenkiame]

Kyokki's lip started to bleed as Naito walked away. She felt tears pressing at the back of her eyes, completely unbidden. But then, Naito had warned her tha first time in the caffe, right? With all that talk about girls who couldn't see through the mist. She cried too easily.

Her body shaking slightly, she turned so her back was facing the two of them.

"I'm sorry Akiko-san...I...I have to go."

[Inukami]

Akiko bit her lip
"What the hell?".she thought angrly as naito walked off
"come back".she tackled him down to the ground then jumped up walking up to kyokki
"whats wrong?".she asked
