Vega's house (invite only unless party)

[vega]

"Prase is a good thing for a young shinboi like you." Vega said as he took out a scroll and his ink brush. He began to draw in a fast speed he began to draw a ink cat. "Good kitty." Vega said as he rubbed it head. The ink cat purred. A water clone walked up to Vega and put more wine in his class. "Thank you clone." Vega said taking a sip of wine. It was truly good. The cat turned on its back. Vega rubbed the stomach. "My ink skills are truly good. The pen is mighter then the sword."

[rikku]

"I may take you up on that...My sword versus your pen...Or maybe even Majin's if you ever join us for training, and if he doesn't mind."
Rikku would look at Majin, "Alright..." she would mutter, "though you must understand I will give you praise sometimes anyway." she would nudge him softly, as to suggest said praise would normally be affectionate.
She would then turn to Vega again.
"Though your skill could be of great use," she stated, gesturing to the cat he had drawn together and seemed to come to life.

[Majin Iikagen]

"I-I don't need praise..." Majin would simply whisper, looking into the water. "A-And it depends on who is wielding what..." He added. "I-I don't mind... s-sparring is better with a diverse g-group..." He would look up at Rikku, smiling a weaker smile then before. "T-That's fine... b-but p-please don't over do it..." Majin would once more say. The ink cat was truely an interesting thing, and Majin would make sure to keep the skills in mind. The praise was nice, but far from something normal for the teenage, and Majin didn't like it that much. His past had almost no praise and because of that, it almost seemed like he was being made fun of, and he didn't like it.

[rikku]

"Alright, whatever makes you happy my dear," she would smile softly, hugging his neck slightly, putting a small kiss to the top of his head. Rikku would then glance back at the ANBU. For a moment she would let the water wrap around one, watching him fidget a moment before looking at another of his comrades who he believed had been the one using jutsu instead of the girl on Majin's back. Making her laugh slightly as they began a slight duel against one another over something that had not been the doing of the other.

[vega]

"Well well well. What a cute couple." Vega said in a sly voice with a chuckle. "I need to train some more and earn some money. I have to go and see what missions I could do for you." Vega said as he felt a tight grab. It was the ink kitty. "Sorry kitty." Vega said as he restarted the petting. Vega took out the pen again and the scroll. He began to draw seal. The seal looked like a pup and began to swim over to the anbu smacking them across the head with it fliper like tail.

[Majin Iikagen]

"T-Thanks..." Majin would respond, blushing slightly at what called him. Majin would only smile a half smile as he watched the ANBU play fight with each other while Rikku laughed slightly. It was entertaining. Majin was even less responsive to Vega's comment, simply nodding and going back to watching the ANBU now have to deal with an ink seal.

[rikku]

"Awwww how cute!" Rikku would state as she watched the small creature smack the ANBU.
"And of course you'll get a mission as soon as you'd like. After this I plan on seeing what falls into place. I think I'll even stop by the Takikage's tower...To check it out you know? I'll probably be spending quite some time up there!" she would state, nodding her head slightly.
"I'll need to be filled in and everything... Man the first days are probably going to be a bit hard to get used to!" she would laugh lightly, thinking of her own self tripping all over the grand tower, confused.

[vega]

Vega laughed as the seal smacked the anbu. Vega watched as the clay cat jumped of his lap and meowed at the seal. The cat looked happy and like it was trying to laugh. "I did see one mission. Locate the hidden stone village. I think my summoning of the ink animals could work in this mission." Vega said as he sneezed. He wiped his nose with a tissue and picked up the clay cat as it laughed. A water clone came and took the emepty plates. "See I wana earn some money so I can buy some crafting tools. I wana make some custom weapons maybe."

[Majin Iikagen]

Majin watched the events, his good mood still in order, for he had Rikku with him, but the other pieces of his happyness didn't help as much. Now Majin simply watched as the others enjoyed themselves and how Vega spoke about other things. It was a party, so why not let the others enjoy themselves.

[rikku]

"You'll need to leave the headband at the tower while you're out of the country!" Rikku would smile, then looking at Majin a moment.
"Something bothering you?" she would ask, keeping her arms around his neck, now resting her head on his shoulder in order to get a good look at his face, her large blue eyes trying to burrow beneath his skin.
"Maybe when we go...you'd like to come to the tower with me? For now.. enjoy yourself!" she would laugh slightly, poking his nose lightly before letting her arm fall limp once more.

[Majin Iikagen]

Majin nodded when Rikku spoke about leaving the headband while Vega left. When Rikku looked at him, Majin couldn't meet her eyes at the moment, looking slightly down. "N-Nothing... d-don't worry..." Majin would answer, giving her a false smile, trying not to bring her mood down. This was her party so she should enjoy it. "O-Ok... b-but we n-need to go back to y-your place... for my s-swords first..." Majin answered, his nose twitching. He would once more give her a false smile before looking down.

[rikku]

"Just tell me if somethings the matter Majin-chan... of course we'll get your swords. Now you need to enjoy yourself too!" The blonde would slide from his back, diving into the water once again before popping back up in front of Majin, and hugging him softly.
"You really need to enjoy yourself too!" The girl would seem to be in thought for a moment, before resting one hand on his cheek and giving him a small peck on the lips.
"Bit better now?" she would ask, recalling seeing others use similar methods to make someone feel better sometimes. Her naiveity getting the better of her at the moment.

[Majin Iikagen]

"O-Ok R-Rikku-chan... I-I am..." Once more he lied, and he did not like lying in the first place, but it hurt even more to lie to Rikku. And it probably wasn't good to lie to the Takikage either, at least it was simply a lie about how he was doing. He hugged her back, and couldn't stand lying at the moment, but she deserved to be happy, and Majin just had to grin and bare it. He was about to answer her with I am again, but was silenced when her hand placed on to his cheek. Majin watched as she leaned in and gave him a soft peck on the lips. When she spoke again Majin blushed and nodded softly. It was then that he excused himself and got out of the pool, pulling his shirt back on, sliding his sandals onto his feet, and then moving back to the pool. "I'll b-be back Rikku-sensei..." He would say, walking toward where they came in.

Majin would stand outside of the house, breathing softly. So many things happened today that it seemed unreal, almost like a dream. It disturbed him, not being used to all of this, the attention, the interaction, and the actual fighting. All of it was too much and Majin needed to clear his head, and right now, the best way would be relaxing the only way he knew how. A quick jump to Rikku's house, grabbing his swords and returning to the house and finding a nice place outside Majin drew both blades and held them in front of him and he began spinning them at first and then he started to swing, slashing, cutting, and stabbing at a tree. It was helping, Majin was starting to relax some, but it was starting to give him a headache. Sitting down, Majin needed something else to take his mind off of things, and that was when the scroll came in. Pulling out the scroll, Majin spread it out in front of him and began to write in it. Pretty soon, the entire thing was done and Majin now finished up by marking the orange sword as well.

When ever he needed, Majin could now summon the orange sword, meaning he wouldn't be weighed down by two weapons. He leaned back and relaxed, trying to clear his head, calm the headache, and relax his heart.

((Excuse the long, long post))

[vega]

"I smell sadness so lets let Majin kun have fun. I can leave you to if you want to do more things with each other I got to work more on my wine." Vega said as the cat got on his head. "Also I can leave the headband with you now can't I?" Vega asked as he put his scroll and ink pen away. A water clone came and took away the dishes. Vega looked into Majin's eyes before he left and saw deep sadness with a little happyness to. "Rikku he is a good ninja far better then I can ever be, plus he will make a nice boyfriend for you." Vega said as his water clone that was sitting in the chair turned to water. He came from behind and hugged her. "So warm. Go swim.

[rikku]

Rikku would sigh, "Kay...but I can't help but think I've done something wrong..." The girl would lay on her back in the water, before using her release to press the water over her, letting her sink beneath the sloshing water, staring up at the distant sky before she would sink to the very bottom, staring up at the distant blue sky, small bubbles of air escaping her lungs. In only a moment she would turn to swim, her belly nearly scraping against the bottom. She decided to make herself feel better, she would continue to mess with the ANBU. As she swam she would do things like brushing against somneone's leg, making them jerk around to find the source, or she would drag someone slightly under and quickly swim away, cutting the silky and thick water with her arms and propelling herself forward. In a few moments she would find the need to replenish the oxygen supply in the air sacks called lungs. She would peek her head above the water, getting a gulp of the air, her blonde hair matted upon her wet head. And in only a moment, she was under again, swimming around like a fish in the tank.

[vega]

Vega switched off his clothing in his room. He put some hicking cloathing on that was a non ninja's clothing. Vega had a little place in his pants for were he could hide his scroll and pen. He took his weapons and put them in a box under his nice water bed. The bed was queen size. He then took his head band off from his forehead. He rubbed the waterfall symbol. It was very cool to have it. He then saw Rikku swimming. She was so cute Vega wished he had her, but she was with Majin. Vega walked to her and put his head band on the table. "Lady Rikku here." Vega yelled to her as he sat down waiting for her.

[rikku]

Rikku would hear her name being called, peeking from the water she would look over the pool's edge, seeing him leave his headband on the table. In a moment she would
"I see..so you're going, hm? Just be careful!" Rikku would warn, her hands clasped on the pools edge and her chin resting on the side a moment, she would then lay on her back in the water once more, floating on the surface while waving at the genin.
"Come back as soon as you find it okay? Avoid any trouble whatsoever, map the way there and do not forget to write down any information on the village if you see it as vital!"
"Sounding like a Kage already..." she thought, knowing how they would always remind you of every objective.

[vega]

Vega looked at her with a smile. The sun was shinning on her as she floated. "The mission says I can't enter, but it doesn't mean my animals can't." Vega said as he got her a towl. "Her for you lady Rikku." Vega said as he took out his pen and the scroll. "Which animal should hold me to the village? Maybe a horse. No maybe a zebra. Nope I got it. I will go Cheetag. Now to just draw one at a good size to fit me." Vega said as he began to draw a cheetah with greet speed. "Lady Rikku you can stay if you want." Vega said as he hopped on the Cheetahs back and zoomed off.

[exit]

[rikku]

Rikku would nod, "Thank you, I think I'll stay until Majin-chan gets back..." she would state. The girl would soon arrive at a wall, pushing her arms to the pools edge and jumping out. Her ninjutsu was canceled as soon as she got out of the water, to prevent an unneeded use of chakra. Rikku would then take the offered towel, drying herself slightly and then slinging it over her shoulders. In a moment the Takikage would wander to the headband he had left, tossing it lightly into her bag.
And as for her final destination she would sit at the pool's side, dipping her feet in and lightly kicking them, letting the sun dry her as the towel stayed draped around her shoulders.

[Majin Iikagen]

Majin rubbed his head, the pain was slowly vanishing. He wanted to return to the party, but at the moment, Majin still needed to relax. Majin leaned forward, placing his head into his hands and breathing softly. Things had finally started to sink in and Majin smiled softly. He had someone to defend now. He was closer to his dream of being a swordsman. He had a chance to become part of the ANBU. And he would learn more skills. Majin smiled and shook his head sofly. Could it be real, or could it be false. For all he knew he might be in a genjutsu, but things felt to real for it to be an illusion. Majin shook his head once more. Getting to his feet, Majin walked back to the house and the back, sitting down next to Rikku. "H-Hey..."
