This place held a rather peculiar outlook as it were for what the Village Hidden in the Rain normally was like. For this place was uniquely in a forested area that wasn’t flooded out. Rather it had a stable ground surface and while surveying this surface ‘Suke came across a peculiar idea that this place be what he start to curiously design into being a new home for himself and the children. His eyes looking down at the two kids in his arms as he only smiled kindly and got to work. First and foremost he began to structure together a small crib just for the two children.

Much like a house itself, a crib was formidable to build, granted nowhere near the same level in difficulty but still just enough so to make it worthwhile. The tedious task of sanding down the wood after shaping it and forming it to the perfection he needed was enough that he began to contemplatively craft the crib to be stable much like the ground yet have a swaying mechanic to it for a rocking to sleep motion. It was the best idea he could come up with on such short notice as it were. He continued with this and kept the motions accustomed to what he was building.

Safety was his number one primary concern which is why he took such care to sanding the wood down to not allow a single moment of a possible splinter to appear among the wood. It was something he certainly wasn’t going to like to deal with so after having done that he took out a blanket and laid the two sleeping babies in the crib. He admired his work, cleaning up after himself as he now smiled with a toothy grin. “One problem down, now to tackle the larger project at hand.” That being the actual house that he was to make.

He now tackled the project of the house, pursuing the goal to continue on and start to build the house up to the potential he needed for it to be. That was the simple issue but there was far more to it than that as one can easily surmise and guess with a pondering gaze if one was so bold. ‘Suke made his methods of first shaping himself a solid base for the house as to keep it from shifting due to unforeseen conditions under the ground. It was something he personally did not wish to see happen to his very own household and that was the certainty to it.

First he began to sift a small area away from where he wanted to build the house into a small pit hole, this pit hole was to be used as a start for a fire kiln, something to burn a good amount of wood and heat to dry molds with. It was with this that he hoped to make bricks and shingles for the house. As it were he did such and began to mush the ground finding a clay source soon enough. It was with his bare feet he found the source and began to sift through it and function its skillful wonder as it were. He only smiled and now began to push his feet down, messing with the earth more.

It was a churning effect, mostly to bring out more of this clay to be utilized for the building yet he found himself the quarry first he hoped to find a spot to make the fire pit soon enough. It wouldn’t take much to make but it would take the method of directing and shifting gears a bit in hope to gather a better means of heating and such. With a calmness to his mind he kept sifting this clay, bringing himself to make a rounder and more suitable spot for a quarry to which to continue to build the house he was wanting to.

Once having made a decent quarry he continued onwards to making himself something different, finally that kiln for clay. It was the exact thing he needed and wanted so with the idea in mind he looked around the place a little while longer before spotting just the place he needed for the kiln to be without endangering anything or one. He now used his hands to begin digging out a small portion of the hole. It wasn’t just for the hole but slanted as to allow for wood to be placed inside this miniature tunnel to create a more necessary air flow for heat.

The tunnel completed ‘Suke now continued to make the next part and that was slowly the building of the kiln itself to where he began to shape clay from the quarry in and around the hole with varying openings to allow air flow when needed. This was also designed to be collapsible when necessary as well. All of which were for him to make it to the best probable format of the tower. He kept up the pace, shaping the clay to bring it high until the point where it was about four feet tall and had a good foot diameter inside.

The shingles and bricks weren’t going to be that big but there’d be plenty of them. His hands molding the kiln and now to test it out to see if he did it right. His hands focusing on the pieces of wood he gathered being that of kindling first before tinder and then main fire wood. His hands worked together with the wood to create a spark and with that slowly started up the kiln as it burned hotly. The smoke pillowed lightly from the wet wood but then it was clear while coming out the kiln like a chimney in a winter’s day.

Once said chimney of a kiln was made ‘Suke began to make way and work on the necessary house components itself while the kiln continued to work as a heating source. Something of which he brought the crib closer to but safely near that nothing bad would happen without him knowing about it. His hands digging a foot into the mud for the house as he continued to create this place to the best of his ability in the midst of what was happening. It was to all hopefully make a house enjoyable and delightful for himself and his future wife to stay.

The foundation hole itself now dug up he began to cut up wood as needed to place as barriers so mud and water don’t flood through the location and destroy the foundation he was attempting to create for the house. His body moving diligently as he continued onwards with the task of making the place suitable for structure just before moving over to the quarry with all the clay itself. It was this clay that ‘Suke knew was going to be the best part of the house as clay when hardened actually felt as though one was walking through sand when done right.

So with a small style of cutting he put together a square of six inches length, three in depth and three in width. A common brick as he made way for it to be the better option itself for his cash. He continued from that point and created a back brace for the wooden mold as well before packing clay in and smoothing it out from the brick itself. Hosting it together as he smiled to himself about this curious thing. Once he had the brick finished he pulled the brick out without damaging the clay and focused on letting it dry out beside the kiln before doing what came next.

Once having taken the brick out and inspecting the design while it dried beside the kiln he was quite pleased with how it turned out. It was just the right size and make for him as he now placed the brick into the kiln once it was dry enough, all the while adding more fuel to the kiln to keep it going as he was doing this. The process of which was kind of time consuming but it was effective enough while he made more bricks in the meantime. The continuation of the bricks in the same fashion continued while putting the bricks off to the side of the kiln to dry before putting them inside it.

The process of this was all to continue more creation of the bricks that he plotted to make while moving them through the kiln during such times to better harden them throughout their drying and fashioning system. When the bricks were finished in the kiln he stacked them up beside himself while he made them continuing onwards. The process of this just keeping the process going further to just make more of them and then once there was a good enough pile beside him he did the next step. With workable clay that was still muck he used it like an adhesive beside the different bricks during the laying.

Moving brick by brick to then adhesive them he fashioned them in a diagonal pattern across the ground, filling up most of it with a few odd ball areas. These odd ball areas were corners, such things he measured with care as he created new molds with the wooden box method and began to create the bricks for said holes. It was these spots that worked out ever better and once they were done drying, heating, and so on he put them in their located areas. The foundation floor was now complete with a rather unique set up with the utilization of bricks.

For now he was happy with his progress he has made and left for the time being, he'll return once he has some rest for his body. Taking up the kids he left, perhaps he can bug his engaged love some for now...

<exit>

[Father 'Suke]

‘Suke brought the children and his love to this place, enjoying the area that he brought up as the home for now while it was not the permanent house. Currently the home was only an adobe home of dirt, but had a kitchen and a decent bedroom for now. All together this home was to be a good and decent until the true home was done. That was the ultimate but until then this was all that had to deal with. His hand crafted crib in the home rested silently in the bedroom while he opened up the doorway to the house, openly careful with a breeze as he smiled and looked around in it.

He set the children down into the crib and then carried Yoshi to rest on the bed as he looked around with a steady nod, sitting at the foot of the bed while setting stuff down to the side. “Home sweet home, at least the roof was fixed up so we don’t have the leak like last time.” He rolled his shoulders and gently rubbed his fingers along Yoshi’s forehead, happy she wasn’t too bad with this time’s episode of the clones dispersing. He always worried but he didn’t dare try and guilt Yoshi into things, he reasoned and that was the purpose of this home for the start which eventually will change into a far greater one.

The Lady Amekage's head was pounding fiercely. The headache was continously building and she could hardly stay focussed any longer. Now that they were home, she could finally just let go and rest. On the way home, she had been murmuring sentences about how she wanted Suke to make sure that the children were eating healthy, and how he needed to speak very explicitly to them, so they would more easily learn to speak in the future. It was clear just how much she loved the little family that they had established, and how little she was willing to give it up for even a moment. Being carried to the bed, the murmuring was slowly stopping. There was no resistance or attempt at anything as he tucked her in. Just leaning her head to the side, she was almost immediately away in the land that held only the dreamers. Before opening its magical doors however, a soft and gentle sentence left her lips. "I love you..."

It was immediately followed by a loss of conciousness and a soft, gentle snore, as she finally started catching up on some of all the sleep she had been deprived of in recent times. Mouth halfway open, it was clear that if left unattended she would drool all over herself. Even so, she must've looked absolutely adoreable.

[Father 'Suke]

Ryosuke only smiled at his love, smoothing a hand over her head as he fashioned his little necklace of iron sand he had received way back when from Yoshi. He molded his chakra though it, polarizing it into a single shape or rather two shapes with a gentle and steady hand while she slept. He made it into two rings, for now engagement bands while someday they could be easily molded into wedding bands or be placed beside whatever Yoshi decided worked best as a wedding band. For now this black sand formed delicately into two rings, he placed both onto the bedside table.

These rings were shaped to their fingers for gentle and smooth motion, it was good enough in his eyes to work out at least. So with that done he moved her head lightly to keep her from drooling all over, at least it wasn’t too bad as he smiled to himself. Once he had done this much he began to do something else, perhaps he was crazy for it but with some chakra he put onto her head and then also chakra down her spine with a bit of recreation to her dozing self. He knew he could easily get some whiplash for it but he was too happy for this revenge of sorts.

He fashioned her ears to change, the fashion would take an hour or two to make due with itself but they would change to red cat ears poking out her hair while the tail would perhaps grow down into her pants, no real escape from the tail bone region inside them but it would be there and it too would be cat related. A cat tail with red color to it. He held in his laugh as he poured his chakra into Yoshi as he did this, not really caring for payment of said changes as he learned these techniques purely for the use of this moment. He was going to enjoy her reaction to this when she woke up.

The entirety of the changes to her body would take a couple hours but that’d be all. For now he rested beside her, waiting up on whoever came along but also for her to awaken later on while the children slept in their crib. He knew the augmentations would feel weird while she awoke, but while sleeping in her much needed state this would only feel like a tickle for now. That much was assured by his touch.

The Kazekage Visit's Kage Residence Amira slowly stopped creating the snow as she still carried the girl Ketsui in her arms,now keeping her dry as the snow she had created peppered her hair as she opened the door that had been opened up by Ryosuke and Yoshi only moments ago. Entering the home, she found the home cozy, and in all honesty it was larger than her home back in Sunagakure. "Ryosuke-Kun, Your home is lovely." She said kindly in a quiet tone as he let the man in Yoshi-Chan's life carry her to bed while she waited in whatever living room that had inside the home. "your parents are really something you know that Ketsui-Chan" Amira said with a smile as flicked off her shoes at the front of the house so that she could walk around the home in just her socks.  She was dressed in her warm tan sweater, and her brown overcoat that she had been wearing earlier when they had been at the tea house. Her long Grey pants were warm enough, and her brown laced up boots would have been decent outside; however inside she was just ins her ankle high white socks. She waited for Ryosuke and played with the baby on the floor until he returned.  Post Number: 1 (Enter) #Suke-Kun #Yoshi-Chan #Training Thread

[Father 'Suke]

‘Suke smiled at what he did, knowing the progress would take a bit but after having done that he went to the crib and picked up Hiko with a carrying it with him to the main room where he looked to see Kazekage-chan in there with his daughter. He smiled and set Hiko in the additional crib, letting him sleep like the sound child he was. A look around steadily postured as he looked at the Kazekage and smiled, “Well this isn’t the full house yet. This is actually a temporary home for the house I am slowly building next door.

“You could call this the supplement home or the craftsman shop until I get the home finished. Sadly it’ll take a good while before I’m done with hit but once I am then the house will be perfect.” He smiled to himself and with a pop to his neck he began to sit down on a chair, resting himself and his leg for a good minute. He looked at the Kazekage and then happened to ask, “So, how long do you plan to remain here in Amegakure? Any real timeframe you are going with or just sticking around for the weather?” A light joke given how this place was always raining as it were.

[Tetsu]

Well, I Was Hoping For An Invite Amira chuckled as the little girl played with her gently on floor of Suke's home as he returned form Yoshi-Chan's room. She waited for Ryosuke to get comfortable in his chair. He asked her about her time frame, and Amira honestly didn't really know how to respond at first. She blushed a little bit as took her index fingers, and rubbed them together awkwardly as she prepared to honestly respond. "Well...Um....I was kinda hoping I would stay...for your wedding with Yoshi-Chan." She said looking down at her socks as the baby slowly climbed up into her lap as she sat cross legged on the floor. "I didn't get an invite...and I felt kinda bad about imposing and asking...so I thought I would stick around for a while until then." She said nervously, feeling as if she was crossing a line by hoping too much. She held the baby close to her person as she wondered how Suke would respond to this. She figured that more likely than not, he wouldn't want an outsider to attend their ceremony, and the thought was quite disheartening. She remained quite for a moment to let Ryosuke speak, seeing as he was the respondent in the matter. She couldn't let her personal feeling get in the way of her duties as the Kazekage all the time like they seemed to more often than not. It was no wonder the council had yet to solidify her as the Fourth Kazekage. Keeping that thought in mind, she waited for her friend to respond.  Post Number: 2 #Wedding #Totally Should be the maid of Honor

[Father 'Suke]

‘Suke smiled at her response, it was definitely beyond the actual normal thought he knew capable of this and also didn’t expect it either. With his eyes on his daughter he only smiled to her and then to the Kazekage. “Well you see, it would seem Ketsui has taken a rather good liking to you. I think perhaps Yoshi and I can make it to where you are welcome to come. To be honest we haven’t actually started sending out invites yet and I can only assume you would indeed have received one especially with all the help you’ve given Yoshi-chan lately.”

He looked at Ketsui and with a slight bend he then reached a finger over and tickled her chin as he only smiled with a chuckle to himself. “You definitely are welcome any time as well. Just in the future send a letter out to us when it comes to visiting. This is just so I can at least have our next home finished for your next visit after us here.” He kept up his tickles on his daughter, enjoying the time with her as he looked at the Kazekage now with a subtle grin, “By the way, Yoshi when she wakes up will appear slightly different. Try not to laugh until she realizes it. I want it to be a surprise first and foremost.”

[Tetsu]

Amira nodded at the comment as the baby began to squirm about in her lap. “I’m perfectly fine with playing along.” She said with a happy smile as she scooped the baby up in her arms and carried her over to Ryosuke. “Anyway, I think I’m going to start making something to eat so that Yoshi-Chan can have something delicious when she wakes up.” She said gently offering the young little girl to her father, flattered that Ryosuke thought that the child had taken such a liking to her. “I’m honored that you extend such kindness to me, even though I’m from a different village, I want to do something special for you both to show my appreciation.” She said with a smile as she brushed the left side of her hair back behind her ear to expose one of her pair of tan Sunagakure earring that she sported to express her status as a Sand Ninja and as an adult of the Nara Clan.

Walking into the kitchen, Amira quickly put on one of the aprons hanging from the wall and wrapped it around her waist as prepared to start cooking something yummy. “Hmmm I’ve never really done anything other than bowls of ramen before.” She said squinting her eyes as she looked at the spice rack on the center island of the temporary home with a sense of confusion as she realized what kind of mess she had just stepped into. Quickly searching through the kitchen for some sort of cookbook that might give her some more specific instructions, Amira figured she could easily follow instructions. “How hard can it be?” She said with shrug as she found an oriental cook book that offered a good range of tasty things, as well as some baked goods in the back of the book. “Oh good, I guess I’ll start by making some curry…that looks easy enough.” She said as she flipped to page 394 in the book.

“Hmmm so four cups of steamed rice eh…” She said as she began to dig through the cabinets for a sack of rice. Seeing as it was a cheap food item, it was easy to find a full sack of rice that she could easily begin steaming inside of a pot of sorts. Quickly She reached for the sink as she put the pot under faucet to let some lukewarm water pour into the pot. The sound of the water pouring into the pot was very comforting as hummed happily to herself as she filled the pot up with water. Taking the water filled pot over to the stove, looking at the stove’s settings, she figured that she would have to put the water on heat for a bit before it would boil. Turning on the gas, she put the pot on the metal and began to search for matches, since she didn’t have any other method to heat the pot. “I hope they have matches,” She muttered quietly as she found a small box that would allow her to light the flame that would begin boiling the water. As she lit the flame, she watch as the water began to boil. “Yay, step on complete!” She said happily as she continued to cook.

Amira slowly opened the rice sack and began to pour the rice into the pot as the water began to boil. She continued to hum happily as she realized how easy it was to boil water. The boiling water was quite an interesting process, Amira thought to herself as she put the lid on the pot and began to let the rice steam up and evaporate. Now she needed to search for a sauce pan of decent size, so that she could actually create the sauce that she was hoping to make. The sweet curry had a few elements present in it that were absent when making a less sweet, and more spicy version of the same dish. Quickly looking through their fresh ingredients that they stored in their house. “Hmm I guess I’ll start by looking for a base for the sauce.” She said quickly looking around for jars that might house something that might be good for the sauce. The cook book suggested using something such as leeks, or perhaps even something thicker like chicken broth to flavor the curry itself. She figured that she would have to make the broth similar to gravy, seeing as she was hoping to make a thicker sauce; however it still needed some sweet elements in addition to adding sweet fruits like cherries to give it the sweet flavor that she was hoping for.

Now faced with an important choice, she quickly began to look for a combination of carrots, leeks, celery, and some sort of beet looking carrot that she wasn’t quite sure what it was. She sniffed it, and the veggie smelled fairly earthy…and not super poisonous or anything so she quickly grabbed it for her broth. She had found some chicken broth stored away in a plastic tub in the ice box as she let it sit out a few moments before pouring it into the pot in hopes of making something quite delicious. She took out one of the knives from the drawers and a cutting board as she began to slice up the ingredients into the pot one by one. Mixing each one into the broth in turn as she prepared to check on the rice. Steam was rolling out from the top of the pot as she chilled the air around her hand in the same way that she had done so when making the snow so that she didn’t burn herself. “Oh good it’s almost ready.” She said as she looked down at the rice that had absorbed all of the water, and was now sticking together like rice should. She might even have enough left over now to make some yummy rice balls too, she thought to herself as she put the lid back on and lowered the heat.

As she finished the rice, Amira now diverted her attention to the sauce as well as a possible meat that she could prepare as she thought about all the delicious things that they might be housing inside of their well…house. As she looked in the ice box again, Amira noticed a few things of eggs, some bacon that was still in a solid brick, some fresh pork, and of course some sausage. Amira tapped her chin as she debated each option. Finally deciding on the pork and bacon combination, she quickly pulled out a frying pan that she could fry the bacon and pork to the perfect consistency. Quickly slicing the bacon horizontally as to make smaller, but thicker strips, Amira began to throw six or seven into the skillet at one time as she went to go get the sugar from the cabinet to add 1/4th a cup to the curry to give it the sweater flavor in addition to the veggies that she now spread into the thickening broth/gravy/curry goodness. As she measured out the sugar, she felt herself getting excited over her meal as the curry began to take shape.

Using a pair of chopsticks that she had found while searching for the utensils, she quickly flipped each piece of bacon as they grew progressively closer to being ready in their own respective manner. The bacon cut of the pig that was now being fried was much larger than what one would normally think of when they visualized bacon strips. As she finished up the frying of the bacon. Slowly, she picked up each bacon strip in turn as she took them off the heat and waited for the curry to physically finish up the caramelization of the broth so that it would become the thick sweet curry that she was attempting to make. As she waited another 10 minutes or so, she realized that the curry looked pretty ready, and much thicker than it had been a few moments earlier. “Alright, I think I’m ready to start putting the plates together!” She said as suddenly she realized that she didn’t have any side dishes to add to the meal. Quirkily waving her arms around in panic as she debated what else to make, she remembered that she still had quite a bit of rice to use; which meant she could make rice balls.

Amira sighed as she took off her apron and took off her sweater to expose the white blouse she had been wearing underneath. Taking her sweater and folding it up and putting it in the front room with Sake as he relaxed with the kids. Amira rolled up her sleeves and prepared to manhandle some of the rice she had made to make sticky rice balls. Quickly taking some of the rice, she patted it flat with her hands, molding it into a patty of sorts before going to look for some fresh kelp, kimchi, and some crab that she thought she had seen earlier in the kitchen. “Man, this kitchen has so much stuff.” She said a she began to cut up the ingredients before putting them into the wrap. Now having everything prepped inside of the rice, she quickly began to mold them into triangular shapes, wrapping some of the kelp on the bottom to make it much easier to hold onto like a sandwich, without the rice falling apart.

Amira continued this process for a while, making 8 Rice balls in total with the access rice as she prepared to go and find some plates to use to present her master piece that she had happily created for the family that had so kindly let her stay at their home. Taking a set of plates from the top cabinets, she was thankful that they were so close to the ground. Amira figured that was because Yoshi wasn’t all that tall, even though she was a fully grown adult. Amira laughed at the image of Yoshi and Ryosuke together at their wedding, the 7 foot 5 tall Ryosuke opposed to the 5 foot solid Yoshi. Now taking the Rice balls and lining them up nicely on the rectangular plate, she figured that in cooking, presentation was half the battle. Quickly dashing each one with a splash of soy sauce, she topped of her rice balls as she used an entire separate plate for the curry, putting each ingredient on separately, topping it off with the bacon. As it was, everything she had prepared looked delicious. “I can’t wait to eat some of this.” She said happily as she continued to prepare the plates.

Amira was about finished having made rice balls, curry, and a steamed asparagus side that would probably taste pretty good. Amira was just about to announce her victory when she realized one simple fact. Amira realized that babies couldn’t eat any of it. Now panicking in a silly fashion like she had the time before, she quickly ran over to the ice box to go look for some fruit that she could turn into some sort of soft baby food. “Fiddlesticks…” She said as she quickly pulled out some pears that she would now have to peel and mash up so that the babies could have a healthy diet. Amira wasn’t a master of nutrition; however, she figured that fruit with the addition of a few other things such as cinnamon; which would help make the pear sauce mush taste much better when the babies actually ate it. Quickly peeling the pears, Amira put them into a separate sauce pan, and began to heat up four pears in a pot of water so that the pears would get warm and soft. With that going on, Amira decided to use this time to clean as many dishes as possible before the pears were ready to be deseeded and mashed up into baby food.

Amira whistled happily as she cleaned the dishes and visualized the baby food’s structure as she waited for the pears to be ready. As she put the now clean dishes away, she quickly took the pears off the heat as she dumped the water out. Using the chopsticks, she picked up the pears and put them one by one into a bowl. Quickly cutting them up and mashing them into a mush, Amira now had the base for her baby food prepared as she now reached into the spice rack in the middle to pull out some cinnamon that she could put onto the warm mushy slices to make them tastier to the simple palate of a child. Now using her hands to mash up the pears into a mush, Amira hummed a poppy tune as she created the baby food in a timely manner. Now having it finished and ready to go, Amira quickly poked her head into the central living space where Ryosuke and the Babies resided. It was now about three hours or so after she had arrived and she was excited to try out her meal.

“Suke’-Kun, Dinner is ready whenever You, Yoshi-Chan, and the twins are ready.” She said with a smile as she quickly prepared the meal on the Kotatsu table that she had noticed when she had first entered the home. Amira loved Kotatsu tables, mostly because it was a warm way to eat one’s meals as a family. Quickly snuggling herself under the quilt of the table, she sat behind on of the warm plates with the base rice with the Curry on top and the asparagus on the side. Amira had placed the rice balls in the middle, and had placed the babies’ food into a pair of bowls that could be fed to them by Yoshi or Ryosuke. Amira wouldn’t be opposed to feeding the kiddos either if she was given permission to do so; however for now she was just pleased to have made them a meal. “I hope you like the food.” She said happily as she figured she would bake some desert afterward too.
