Hidden Away

[kaito]

Kaito walked off into what looked like woods and sat on a tree branch.

Yuchii went to the front and saw that it was getting pretty busy. Surprisingly, Kuri wasn't flirting and both Katsuo and Kuri were doing fine without anyone's help.
Yuchii sighed and sat back down. She knew that she could always talk with Shizuke and Akiko but she was worried that if she talked to Shizuke while she was eating, she could choke.
Akiko was busy trying to find out what side dish Shizuke wanted so Yuchii stayed in her silence. She knew who Nina was now and felt a bit sad for Kaito. It had nothing to do with her though so she wouldn't get involved.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

"Hmm, do you have any dumplings?" I asked. I was so happy that I had made some new friends that I felt like screaming in happiness.
"If there anything I can help with Kuri!?" I yelled to Kuri. I was so sure that I had to help out my new friends since they were dealing with me and my excitement.
"I can cook, I can clean, I can wash dishes, I ash down tables and sweep floors, there has to be something that I can do!" I exclaimed happily. I smiled.

[cherrychi]

Kuri smiled and said, "No I've got it and Katsuo is helping me..."
Akiko got a plate of dumplings and brought them out for Shizuke. She set the plate down next to her rice and smiled.
Meanwhile Yuchii was busy sitting silently sorting her thoughts while Katsuo was busy with the customers.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

"Thanks Akiko." I said. I began to munch on my dumplings then turned to Yuchii.
"Hey, Yuchii-chan, is something bugging you?" I asked with a full mouth. I swallowed then put a tiny bit of rice into my mouth.
"Hmmm, does it have something to do with Kaito leaving?" I asked. I could sense Kaito's chakra outside of the tea house. I smiled happily at Yuchii.
"I won't blab anything to anyone if you don't want me to." I said.

[cherrychi]

Yuchii immediately did an anime fall as Shizuke asked her if she was upset because Kaito left. She got back up and mentally twitched from what Shizuke said.
Finally she regained her composure and stated bluntly, "I am not upset... Kaito can leave when he wants and I couldn't care less...he is just someone I know...no one special."
Akiko heard Yuchii and sighed. Her sister was so bent on revenge that she didn't care about love...her sister would probably never love anyone...except for Sasuke...she sighed again and thought more about her sister.
Yuchii finally calmed down and took a seat.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I shrugged.
"Ok, if you change your mind just tell me!" I exclaimed happily. I got up and walked over to the counter.
"Ok, I'm going to help you Kuri, I hate just sitting around getting served, please give me something to do!" I exclaimed. I leaned on the counter and literally begged Kuri to let me help.
"I like to help out friends, it's like a thank you." I said. I looked over and Yuchii again.
"I can sense it, again." I thought. I smiled.

[cherrychi]

Yuchii sighed and twirled a shuriken in midair with a chakra string. She no longer had anything to do so she was bored. She decided to go to the back and start washing dishes.
Kuri watched Shizuke beg him to let her do something and he sighed. 'Fine...you can wash the dishes in the back.", he said wile pointing to a door that led to the back.
Akiko helped out in the front and took the customers orders, giving them to Kuri and Katsuo to complete.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

"Yay! Thanks Kuri!" I exclaimed, giving him a friendly hug. I tied my hair up in a messy bun and ran threw the door he had pointed to. I went in and immediately began to wash the dishes. I took my time, scrubbing away all the dirt and grime. I was happy doing favours for my new found friends, it was my way of saying thank you. I began to sing to myself as I washed the dishes.
"Said I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears. So done with wishing you were still. Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow, so why can't I turn off the radio." I sang as I twirled around while still washing one of the plates.

[cherrychi]

Yuchii washed the dishes and watched some bubbles float into her hair. She sighed and tied her hair up with a white ribbon that had blood red and dark blue ends. She turned on the radio and went back to washing dishes.
She heard one of her favorite songs on and started to unconsciously sing:

I walk a lonely road
The only one I that have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But its home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And were I walk alone

Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and every things all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone!

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I could hear the music from a radio and saw Yuchii washing dishes. I smiled and ran over to her, with a spring in my step.
"I'm so glad that I could help out, I felt useless sitting down munching away while you all worked." I said. I was my happy self as I began to sing the song I was singing before.
"Said I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears. So done with wishing you were still here, said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow so why can't I turn off the radio?" I sung. I happily danced around again as I washed a cup and a few utensils.

[cherrychi]

Yuchii smiled a bit at Shizuke. As she washed dishes with Shizuke, another song came on and she sang again:

Summer has come and past.
The innocent can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.

Like my fathers come to pass,
Seven years has gone so fast.
Wake me up when September ends.

Here comes the rain again,
Falling from the stars.
Drenched in my pain again,
Becoming who we are.
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost.
Wake me up when September ends.

Summer has come and past.
The innocent can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.

Ring out the bells again.
Like we did when spring began.
Wake me up when September ends.

Here comes the rain again,
Falling from the stars.
Drenched in my pain again,
Becoming who we are.
As my memory rest,
But never forgets what I lost.
Wake me up when September ends.

Summer has come and past.
The innocent can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.

Like my fathers come to pass.
Twenty years has gone so fast.
Wake me up when September ends.[x3]

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I loved listening to Yuchii sing, it made me sing even louder and even happier. I danced around more, feeling energy pulse into my body. I finished drying the cup and untied my hair. I began dance to the sound of my own rhythm. I kicked my shoes off to the side and began to dance in my bare feet in the back. Every few moments I'd pick up a dish and wash it as I danced.
"Come and dance Yuchii!" I exclaimed. I could feel my energy become my rhythm, and my beat. It was the sound of nothing, but, everything.

[cherrychi]

Yuchii laughed slightly as Shizuke danced and shook her head, "I don't think I'm going to dance Shizuke..." She giggled a bit more as she washed more dishes and imagined how she and Akiko used to dance around all the time when they were younger. Now she felt too mature to dance like that and would feel silly if she did.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

"Come on Yuchii!" I exclaimed. I dried the dish I washed and continued on dancing.
"It's fun, join in! Don't act like your twenty!" I laughed. I knew I could coax Yuchii in, it might just take awhile. I danced around more, feeling my rhythm excell.
"Come on Yuchii-chan, dance to your rhythm!" I exclaimed. I danced around in circles, feeling like a kid again. It was the kind of ting I would've done with my brother when I was just a little girl, I think is was because my mother would dance with me when I was a baby.
