Rustle and Bustle of the Village

[Hibiki™]

Hibiki sat, pearched on a wicker stool. It stood only a few feet tall allowing his middle abdomen to press against the luke warm bar table. He looked bland but happy in a way, it had been a great day and he was enjoying it. "Give me a glass of cranberry juice with a little vodka." He did not really enjoy alcoholic beverages but today was calm, and it would be all he would consume tonight. The beverage arrived and he sipped it looking out at the moon. Watching the villagers as the skipped, hopped, and ran. Hibiki smirked gently as he looked back towards the bar keeper and his drink. Awaiting a friend or possibly finishing his drink and going for a small trod thru the village.

[Sayuri "Cupcake"]

Sayuri opened the door to her apartment without knocking. She had left Hibiki a note stating why she was leaving but she was not sure he had gotten it, she had permission from the leader of course but she didn't want to worry anyone. "HIBIKI" She hollered loudly into the apartment. She closed the door softly listening for any sudden sound. Nothing...She scurried over to his room, knocked then entered finding his stuff there. He must have of just went out. She frowned, then shrugged. She turned and walked into her room. She quickly switched clothing, her kimono thrown in the corner and her black and grey lounge skort(shorts and a skirt, DUH!) were pulled on. She then ran to her closet and pulled out a kimono type shirt.

It was black and grey also, she pulled this on and she tied it together. She pulled her newly dyed black hair into her ponytail and she left the room. She turned from the living room and she opened the door again. She looked out, everyone seemed to be doing well today. 'OH MY GOD, SAYURI YOUR BACK' Screamed an annoying shrill voice. Her next door neighbor. "Hi Elina, I am leaving now" She spoke and brushed her off, closing the door and locking it. She walked into the road and began to walk up the street. She looked for signs of her best friends, and someone she liked. Not being able to see them for seven years is hard to do, but when duty calls..Duty calls.

Sayuri looked to her left at a voice she reconized, "hibiki?" She whispered under her breath and her eyes lit up at the sight of a dear friend, of whom Sayuri crushed on. She slowly and silently crept up behind him and placed her pale hands on his shoulders, "Did ya miss me?" She whispered/giggled into her friends ear. She waited his reaction.

[Hibiki™]

Feeling the frosty fingers of the days air on his shoulders Hibiki lost his more timid manner and croaked his neck to the side fo his shoulder. His view startled him, as it was not one that looked very noticable at first. He began tiping over and his body was beign pulled by gravity towards the ground. Raising his left and right arm he grasped the womens shoulders to keep balance. Looking into her eyes he realized who it was. Sayuri. "It's..you? We never knew what happened to you, im suprised you still remember me." This sudden shock temporarly stunned Hibiki in you could say a state of happiness.

[Sayuri "Cupcake"]

Tears started to well up in the black of her eyes. She missed the people from sound more then anyone knew. Even though she missed her friend Makato, she had missed one special person in it all, Hibiki. The one person who cared for her more then anyone else in the damn village. She jumped slightly as he started to fall out of his chair and he grasped her shoulders. She hadn't expected a reaction like this. He fell out of his stool? Wow, nice move. He then stood straight and looked into her eyes, she looked right back into his. It was him, yes it was him. No doubt about it. "Its...You?"

Sayuri heard this and she nodded, letting the tears fall. "Hibiki, I missed you" She spoke so softly and she wrapped her arms around him, burrying her head in his shoulder. "Im sorry...The kage told me not to tell anyone where I was going" She sobbed softly. "I didn't mean to frighten you guys..and Of course I would remember you" She sobbed again. Sayuri was happy to be with the person she liked, and the person she cared about again. She had forgotten what it was like to be with someone that cared for her like this, and that she herself chose out of many people.

[Hibiki™]

Hibiki lifted his right arm up wiping the tears gently off of her face. His left arm began to raise and he let both wrap around her waist, puttign his head softly on her shoulder. "Don't cry..." Hibiki felt so relaxed doing it, as if it was natural, it was relaxing. "You look so diffrent...when we get back to the house you will have to tell me all about it alright!" Hibiki's voice stayed calm through all of it. It truly was a perfect day for him. Not knowing how she would feel about it Hibiki slowly began loosening his grip lettign go of her body.

[Sayuri "Cupcake"]

Sayuri frowned still as he wiped the tears off her face. She missed the caring of this man. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she leaned into him a little bit more. She thought it would feel odd, but it didn't being embraced by Hibiki felt..like..it was meant to be that way. "Dont Cry...", She heard his voice speak out softly and she nodded, she understood he didn't want to see her cry especially because it was about him. Sayuri stood there, silently with him not caring about the looks people might be giving them, she never cared about the looks of others.

You look so diffrent...when we get back to the house you will have to tell me all about it alright!" Sayuri nodded again and she bit her lip, "Okay" She spoke softly and she looked up at him. She was acting like a little five year old who just met her father again after being seperated, though it was much different then fatherly type actions, it was more towards..loving, and affectionate love type actions. Sayuri felt Hibiki's hands loosen and she let herself smile a bit "I..actually like being in your arms" She spoke biting her lip.

"Its been so long..Ive actually missed being..with you" She spoke with a slight blush appearing on her cheeks. She looked away a bit hoping he didn't notice her blush, but the closeness of them would probably show it. They were too close for Hibiki not to notice. Sayuri looked back up at him making eye contact, 'he got so handsome since I left' she thought to herself and again the blush reddened.

[Hibiki™]

I..actually like being in your arms the sweet blushing comming from her checks she was so eagerly trying to hide began making Hibiki blush, but taking heed of her words he returned his arms slowly back and held on some more. "You know this will make it harder to live togther right?" Hibiki let out a comforting smile and giggled slightly. The closeness was not something he was used to, but he enjoyed it, after all it was from someone he cared deeply about.

Looking away from her a moment he looked out into the sky, then back into sayuri's eyes. "Nothing can compare to your beautiful eyes." Without much notice his lips slowly began inching towards hers. Before making contact he quickly pulled them away, not wanting to urge something she may not have wanted.

[Sayuri "Cupcake"]

Sayuri finally made up the courage and looked back at him with a smile. She missed his voice, his caring, his..well..everything about him. She looked at his cheeks to notice he was blushing too, the both of them seemed to like doing that hm?. "You know this will make it harder to live togther right?" Sayuri nodded, Hibiki giggled. "I know but I think we'll both enjoy it" She spoke softly, "Lets just say...it'll be fun". She giggled a bit after what she said, as it would be true. Living with someone you knew as a best friend was one thing but living with someone you really liked..and possibly loved what another story.

Sayuri watched him, his eyes shifted to the sky and then back to her own eyes and she smiled. She smiled at what he said, "Nobody can compare to you, or your handsomness" She spoke ever so softly. She noticed that after this his face moved slightly closer to her own and their lips about to touch when he pulled away. "Something wrong?" She spoke softly looking up at him. She grinned and she finished the business, she leaned forward, and up a little as she was an inch or two shorter pressing her lips to his.

[Makato "RockStar"]

Makato was walking down the street feeling down and out about Ari. Why did she choose to live that life style? he was thinking to himself. Then he looked up from looking down at the street and noticed two love birds cuddle up about to kiss. They both looked familar but he could not put his finger on it. I guess being all alone studing jutsu and fight strategies made me forget the people in this village he thought to himself.

As he walked closer he finally remembered the two. "No...it couldn't be" he said to himself in shock. Then all of a sudden he knew both of them especially the girl. He walked up to the both of them. "Well looks like the team is back together" he said to the two. He was older and more mature now so the usually bust in on them was out of the question. "How's it been...Sayuri...Hibiki?" he asked the two.

[Hibiki™]

As there lips touched a sense of joy and happiness struck Hibiki, he had not noticed how good it could feel. Opening his eyes and drawing his lips away from hers he noticed someone not to distant from his past, someone he knew quite well because of his relationship with Sayuri. It was the image of Makato, he was grown now and looked far less then a he used to be, yet he still sent out that aura of friendlyness."Makato is that you? It has been so long my friend!" He shouted not noticing it was from the shot of adrenaline from the moment before.

Looking at now, not only two he cared dearly about, but two people he cared deeply about. he let loose a smile. His arms still held onto Sayuri very tenderly it did not seem natural anymore not to leave them. Here he was reunited because of love, fate, and friendship. In the back of his mind a blur of something he had almost forgotten about jingled, the boy he began to train and sent off to eat which he had completely blanked out about. 'Raiko...'

[Sayuri "Cupcake"]

This wasn't the first time Sayuri felt happy about something she did with Hibiki, the peck on the lips at the last mission she had with him..and..and Makato. But this kiss was different, it was actually filled with love, passion and not surprise. When Sayuri pulled away softly she smiled, usually when a couple does kiss they say something afterwould but she wasn't sure if Hibiki was..going to reject it, she tried her luck. "I love you Hibiki" She spoke softly after her thoughts. She let her eyes move up to his and she smiled.

Hibiki had looked up and Sayuri followed his gaze, her heart leapt for joy when she saw what he was staring at. 'MAKATO' her head screamed, but she didn't move from her spot in Hibiki's arms. She now, overall not being a tom boy knew that it wasn't to nice for a girl to go up and literally grab onto someone who wasn't family or your love. "Makato, its so good to see you" She spoke smiling brightly. This day was her best, her best ever, even better then meeting her sister for the first time in her whole life. A tear streaked her face and she hand went up to meet it, "I cant believe I am actually here with you guys after seven years...seven whole years" She spoke softly.

[Makato "RockStar"]

Makato gave a smile and rubbed the back of his head. "Yea...it's been a long time" he said. The he heard Hibiki say something and turned around and saw a boy that Hibiki was screaming at.

(U_U...sorry can't think of nothing)

[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]

"Hey Hibiki, Long time no see...you too Sayuri" Genshuku said as he appeared in a puff of smoke on top of a building. Jumping down, Gen looked around at the three and smirked, "You two got stronger in the last seven years..." He then cracked his neck lazily before saying, "Oh, I hope i'm not interrupting anything..." Genshuku hadn't really talked to Hibiki within the last seven years nor did he return for long periods of time to the village causing doubts to rise in Gen's loyalty. Nevertheless, Gen was content with what he had learned over the past years and wasn't going to leave again for a long time. I wonder, Makato has become much more skilled, so I bet Hibiki became even better...ah who knows...maybe he slacked off during the last few years and didn't do anything. I'm wondering how much Sayuri grew as well...she pretty much had me dead back when I was returning to the village 8 years ago. I hope she at least got her second stage sharingan.... Gen thought as he waited for a response. Noticing a young boy walking past him, Gen smiled as he felt his hip pocket and noticed it empty. oh well...guess he couldn't resist stealing

[Hibiki™]

(Since no one will continue this...XD)

Looking at the new figure who appeared before there eyes. "Oh Gen, it has been quite some time how are you?" Hibiki said noticing the child run off with his money. With little care to the childs needs Hibiki shrieked lettign out a shrill sound. The boy stopped and began shaking on the ground. Walkign up to him hibiki helped him up. "Doesnt feel good does it? to be caught stealing? Anyways you can keep the money ok bud? ill pay back the nice man over there." Thievery was soemthign he wouldnt let by but he still felt the child must have had some reason in doing it. "So what shall we do?" Hibiki said as he returned to his position before this time his arms wrapped around Sayuris waist from behind holding her still gently. "Love you to..." he said under his breath.

[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]

"oh, that reminds me..." Gen said as he looked caringly upon the young boy as he smiled and ran off with Gen's wallet. "Katara's giving birth in the next few months...according to the medics, it's a boy...can't believe I'm going to be a dad soon...but that's besides the point...Hibiki, I want you to be his godfather. You're the one person I trust more than Katara so I want you to be there while he grows up." Gen said knowing he just dropped a bombshell. "If you don't want to be his godfather, tell me but think about it, okay? I got to go check up on Katara over at the academy. Laters" He said before using SHunshin to run towards the academy at the east end of the village.

[Makato "RockStar"]

Makato just sat there. He felt great meeting with his friends. He then looked at Hibiki and Sayuri. "So how strong have you two become these past years?" he asked. I know that Hibiki's strong but i really wonder how strong Sayuri is now he thought to himself.

[raiko]

Raiko came walking up and saw hibiki out of his parif. Raiko made a imidiate stop and turned and walked twoards hibiki. Raiko stoped out of hibikis perif then turned the corner and threw a shuriken at him. "That is for making me look like a idiot." He said as he ran up behind where hibikiwould now be.

[Sayuri "Cupcake"]

Sayuri smiled, "Hey" She spoke softly, she rememberd Gen. She was quite strong and literally, could kill him if she wanted too. Now a days she was more soft spoken but was more leveled on her jutsu's and sharingan stages. She let out a smile when a child scampered away from Gen with his wallet and she looked back at Hibiki who let out a shreik, she shook her head abit. He let go of her and went over to the child, then came back and placed his arms around her. "You guys are too nice" She spoke smiling at them.

She leaned back into Hibiki just a tiny bit as she listened to Gen. She smiled, "Aww..Hibiki you better say yes" She giggled and patted his arm softly. Gen turned to leave, "Hope to see you again" She spoke and she turned her head to Makato who spoke again. "Probably not to strong, I havn't been able to level as much as I wanted, but I am a Chunin" She spoke nodding. "Being with my sister...well...I had to spend time with her, and I couldn't train to much". Sayuri turned her head at a sound and a shuriken sure enough was whizzing through the air, Sayuri quickly shoved herself and Hibiki from the row of the shuriken, in which hit with a dull thud the pillar behind them.

"Where the heck did that come from?" She growled letting her head turn to the direction it came from.

[Makato "RockStar"]

Makato appeared behind Raiko and put his hand on Raiko's head. "Hey now it's no fun to attack people" he said. He gave a slight smile. "You just graduated?" he asked. He knew that the boy looked young but he was not sure how old he really was.

He then looked over towards Sayuri and Hibiki. "Hey you guys I got the little mennace" he yelled his hand still on top of Raiko's head.

[akechi]

"Hey now it's no fun to attack people"

"Wrong!" a small boy would laugh at the man, launching two kunai towards the mans back without touching them, controling them solely by chakra. Tilting his head to the side with a small foxy smirk the boy closes his eyes, being merely about the age of fourteen, however a Jounin since the age of ten. Originally a Sunagakure Nin, the boy watches to see what will happen, his chest exposed as he folds his left leg over his right sitting into a tree behind Makoto. "Koncha, how is everyone on this boring day?" Still smiling innocently, yet with a devious smile the boy waits for an answer, aswell as to see if the kunai can rip the other into two, wanting to see his blood. Well, what can I say. It pleased Lord Jashin to cause bloodshed.. even if they were your comrades.
