Reunion (Itsuki)

[Akemi]

Akemi had just left the hospital from doing some training and helping out. She couldn't wait to get home to see Yoko and her family but she wanted some time to relax. The medic in training, was feeling lonely for awhile. She hadn't seen Itsuki in a long time. It turned out that he left to go on a mission and he didn't tell her. Akemi was angry at him for that but she still missed him dearly.

Lately, Akemi started to think that she was actually in love with Itsuki. She didn't know where these feelings were coming from but they were there. And the weird part about everything was that they barely knew each other. Akemi still wanted to see him though. She walked through the village and made a stop at the waterfall. Akemi sat in the water, a couple of feet from the waterfall itself.

The water felt good to Akemi, so she laid back in it and closed her eyes. She slightly lifted one of her legs, it glistened in the water, thanks to the sun. The young girl had grown alot since her dear friend left for his mission and she hadn't noticed it. Akemi was so lost in her thoughts, she didn't realize that someone was by her.

[itsuki]

Itsuki made his way towards his old training spot, that was deep into the forest. He was walking by a small river that led into a waterfall. A nice spot that he liked to walk pass when he needed time to think. Itsuki's walk was slow and he was quiet as he looked up at the sky while he walked. As he was beginning to walk closer to the waterfall he noticed someone there, a girl maybe who seemed to be enjoying herself in the water. Itsuki's first thought was to just simply walk by the girl, but for some reason the sight of her made him stop, that's when he noticed it was someone he knew.

The boy bit the inside of his lip as he realized who it was. It was Akemi, a girl that he had met a while back, a girl that had a bit of a crush on him before when he used to have both his arms. He wondered if he should talk to her or if he should avoid her seeing him at all, because he left a bit ashamed of his condition. The boy seemed to have loads of bad luck lately. Aside from getting his arm cut off in a mission he was used as a hostage and watched as his Kage was killed, and it was almost all his fault. Still the boy couldn't just walk away from his old friend. He walked casually to the edge of the water and greeted the girl while trying not to sound too awkward.
"Hey Akemi"

[Akemi]

Akemi opened up her eyes at the sound of a familiar voice calling out to her. She sat up and saw a boy, who she knew was Itsuki. So much joy filled her, you could see it in her face. Akemi jumped up out of the water and ran over to Itsuki, flinging her arms around him. She hugged him tightly and her eyes began to water. Akemi knew she missed him but she didn't know it was this much.

The girl hugged her old friend a little longer then let go of him. She took a nice long look at him, Itsuki was still handsome as ever. Akemi then punched Itsuki in the chest. "How dare you leave me and not tell me?!" she yelled. She could be angry at him now because he was back. Akemi waited for his response while she looked at the rest of him, she then realized that his right arm was missing. "And what the hell happened to your arm?!" Akemi was really angry but she felt bad for yelling at him and he had a missing arm so she pulled him into another hug. "God, you had me worried." she whispered to him.

[itsuki]

Itsuki gasped a bit at the girls reaction, he hadn't remembered how much she liked him so he didn't expect the hug even when he saw her approaching him, he let the girl wrap her arms around him but he didn't really hug back although he wanted to. Then the girl pulled back and hit him in the chest and began to scold him for leaving her. The punch made the boy chuckle a bit and kind of smile and he put his left hand on the spot where she hit him. "Well, I-I kind of got sent on a mission and..." Then the girl hugged him again and he accepted it this time, bringing his left hand to her lower back and pulling her closer to him "Oh that...Just a little scrape" He said forcing a smirk.

Then the boy began to tell her what happened, how they were attacked by a missing nin from the land of snow, and how everyone was killed but him. He skipped out on what happened more recently though, with the Kage, even though he held the woman's weapon at his side even as he spoke with Akemi, he wondered if she even knew the kage was dead. But he didn't want to talking about it now, instead he just decided to change the subject "How have you been Akemi, Been taking good care of Yuko?"

[Akemi]

Akemi got a tingling sensation down her spine from Itsuki's touch. She was really tempted to kiss him but she held back her temptations, for now anyway. She gently stroked his cheek as she pulled away. She then felt like she was going a little too fast with Itsuki. "Calm down, Akemi. Don't be a pervert, you're only 13." the voice inside her head said. "Yeah, 13 and with the love of my life but I do need to wait awhile before I make a move." she thought.

Akemi listened to what happened on Itsuki's mission and was shocked. She felt really bad about the other shinobi but she couldn't be happier that Itsuki was alive, here, talking to her right now.She then raised an eyebrow at his question. "Yuko? Itsuki, sweetie, my dog's name is Yoko. And yes, I'm taking good care of him. He's home at the moment, I couldn't take him to the hospital." Akemi told him. She didn't say anything for awhile, then finally spoke again. "You know...I've been really lonely and sad since you left." she said. "But, I've been alright." she added quickly. Akemi didn't want Itsuki to feel bad, even though he should a little.

[itsuki]

Itsuki laughed fully for the first time in a while when he found out he got the dogs name wrong. "Sorry I've been a little stressed lately, It totally slipped my mind" he said rubbing the back of his head absentmindedly "And I didn't think it would be this way, I thought it would be a quick easy mission, If I knew it would've cost me a arm I would've been happy to stay" He said

"Anyway It's good to hear that you're doing good" He added after a short pause, and then he remembered the gift he promised her when they first met, He had both his Katana and the weapon that had belonged to the kage with him. He planned to keep the Wolf's Fury he took the Katana from his side and handed it to the girl. "Didn't I owe you this?" He said holding it out for her to grab

[Akemi]

"Don't worry about it. My own father can't remember Yoko's name and he's the one who got him for me." Akemi chuckled a bit. She then blushed slightly at Itsuki's comment. Akemi was sure that he didn't even know that he was being charming, it was just the way Itsuki was but she still loved everything about him. He was most definetly the guy for Akemi and she had to show him that she was the girl for him if he didn't already know it.

Akemi's eyes then widened when Itsuki pulled out the katana. For some reason, Akemi didn't think that Itsuki was going to get her a katana but she was really happy that he didn't forget about her. She really had to get him an animal companion now. Akemi took the katana from Itsuki then gave him a kiss on the cheek as thanks and lingered there for a moment.

[itsuki]

As Itsuki left the girls lips press against his cheek he let out a soft sigh, It was strange to him that she wasn't taken back by the fact that he was missing an arm. This fact made him smile, It didn't seem to bother her that she was hanging around a boy with one arm. Itsuki felt a bit of warmness at his chest and for once when the girl was about to step back he didn't want her too. It was hard to believe that he really disliked this girl at one time. As the girl said her thanks for the Katana Itsuki found that he really couldn't answer back. The gift wasn't a big deal but the girl still seemed happy about it. 'I kept my promise' he thought 'Well at least half of it' and just as the girl was about to fully pull away the boy leaned in a little, just enough to have their lips touch and with that he gave the girl a soft kiss

[Akemi]

As Itsuki's lips met Akemi's her body instantly became extremely loose. She moved a little closer to Itsuki and placed her hand on his chest. His lips were so soft and it was so unexcepted but still very enjoyable. Then for some weird reason, Akemi realized that she was soaking wet from laying in the river and she had been all over Itsuki. Obviously, it didn't matter to him....or he didn't realize it either. Akemi had the urge to wrap her arms around Itsuki's neck and make their kiss moved intense but she didn't. She didn't want to scare him away, so she decided that she was going to let him make all of the first moves. Akemi didn't break the kiss, she kept it going with her eyes lightly closed.

[kajou]

At the precise moment of the kiss, several sheets of paper flew through the air, pinned to the walls off houses by unseen wind arrows, fired by non other than Demache, who stood far away at the funeral. One of the pieces of paper burst in between Itsuki and Akemi, most likely seperating them, and became stuck in a tree a meter away. The paper, like the others, had these words scrawled on it with pen:

KAGE'S FUNERAL

[/b]
Due to the recent death of our kage, I am holding a funeral by the king waterfall of our village. All waterfall nin PLEASE attend. I also have a little...'suprise' at the end for you all... thank you.[/quote]

[itsuki]

((OOC: Kaj You CB!!! XD!!!!! Oh and Akemi you can Add the Katana to your bio, it is now removed from Itsuki's))

Itsuki heard a soft whistle in his ear, something that at first he almost chose to ignore but then he decided not to. He placed a hand on the girls shoulder and moved her back a bit as he retreated as well and managed to take a single step back. Just as he did this a sheet of paper whizzed in between them going right by his chin and hitting a nearby tree. It was probably by the force of some jutsu. Itsuki looked at the paper and then in the direction from which it came thinking for a second that they were being attacked somehow then he made his way to the wavering sheet that was still attacked to the tree, pulled it off and read it to himself.

The small paper brought the boy back to reality, making him remember all the things he had forgotten for those sort seconds, he hissed trying to keep himself from cursing or over-reacting. He took a moment to look down at his weapon that had previously belonged to the Kage, then his right side which for a moment he thought that he if looked down hard enough he'd have the limb just appear again. And of coarse it didn't so he raised his eye's and let them rest on Akemi. He didn't want to have to be the one to explain to her how everything happened but now he had no choice, he crumbled the paper in his hand and held it to his chest as he inhaled "Takikage-sama is dead..." He mumbled calmly then he held the ball of paper out in case she wanted to read it

[Akemi]

When Itsuki pushed Akemi away, she opened her eyes and saw several pieces of paper come from out of nowhere. "What the f***?!" Akemi said. She looked at Itsuki as he read one of the pieces of paper. She wondered what it was. Then he said said that the Kage was dead, Akemi took the paper from him and read it. She had to read it several times for it to sink in. How did Takikage-sama die anyway? Akemi crumpled up the paper and dropped it on the floor. She looked up at Itsuki. "Are you going to Takikage-sama's funeral?" she asked in a low voice

[itsuki]

Itsuki took a while to answer, he took a moment to absorb his thoughts and to come t a decision "I should go to the funeral, after all she's done for me it would be wrong of me not to but I cant face it..." His voice trailed off as he decided that he wasn't going to attend the funeral, no matter how much his conscious told him to. He lowered his voice almost as if people were watching then he looked around seeing no sign of another person he began to speak "If you decide to go then it's fine, But I won't be attending. Anyway goodbye Akemi, I have to go...maybe I'll see you around" With that Itsuki continued along, making his way to his training spot just like he was doing before he bumped into Akemi

[Sorry Akemi XD -Exit- =P]

[Akemi]

Akemi got so confused about what just happened. She didn't understand why Itsuki didn't want to go to the funeral. Did something happen between him and Takikage? Akemi got the sudden feeling that Itsuki no longer want to be around her, but that wouldn't make sense, he just kissed her. She was really confused. Maybe she and Itsuki shouldn't see each other for awhile. Akemi hung her head then headed back to the hospital. She didn't want to go home now, her family would know something was wrong with her.
