Was it because he was used to my sudden affection toward him? I knew now that he was fully aware of my feelings for him and I was no doubt open with them. We stood at the foot of the steps leading up to the hospital and to our advantage, we were encased in darkness and out of the peering gazes of the citizens inside the hospital and nearby buildings. I turn to face Nori and holds both his hands in my own, as he answered by question. My smile dropped visibly at his answer. “Does your parents want you home earlier? I'm sorry! I forgot.. Not all Ninja are without parents...” I say, disappointment etched into my tone, but I hide it behind a soft smile. Perhaps it was time for us to depart for the night, I needed to head back to the Tower and finish up the duties for today before heading home to bed. The first thing tomorrow will most likely be a training session with my parents before heading back to the Tower to deal with morning papers. From then on I will be deciding on forming a team. A team, my gaze lowers to the ground for a moment then. I wondered if Nori was wanting to join a team, but since we currently have no Chuunin, he may not want to. “Ah, Nori-san, before I go, would you be interested in joining a team?” I ask softly. “I'm looking for three members for a team that I am trying to form. My Mom has been giving me some information on how to run a team and I am quite ready to lead a team of my own. So what do you think?” I suddenly ask, hopeful that he will say yes. This will not only give us an excuse to spend more time together, but it will also give us the chance to become stronger physically and create more of a bond. Plus, I somewhat liked the idea of bossing a few Ninja around. I grin slyly at that thought and awaits for Nori's answer.

[/b] I'd say with a soft laugh to hide the sadness of not being able to. However, it was not my decision to so I'd be fine following whatever rule that is placed before me. Noticing her gaze drop to the ground, I'd wonder if I said something wrong to her. Did she not want me to? Shaking off that thought, I'd hear why she was looking down, a team formation with me. Perhaps she thought I wouldn't want to be in one, but I shed those worries with a smile after hearing her full explanation.

Pondering her invitation with a smile, still facing her direction with my eyes closed, I'd open them when I was ready as I saw her grin at the thought of me being in it, I think. "A team with you? I'd be more than happy to accept the invitation Rose~hime, as it will allow me to be around you without any restrictions correct?" I remarked with a soft laugh. Smiling at her grin, I'd wonder if she was thinking similar things as what I said. Maybe she did, which I hoped she did.[/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote][/ul][/size]

But when he mentioned that he would escort me to the Tower, I smiled a small smile but shook my head. I didn't feel the need to be escorted to the Tower, plus I needed to think about a few things, and Nori posed as a distraction because my priorities change to the point when pleasing him is all that is left. “That's alright, Nori-san, I can find my way there on my own.” I say. But the fact that he was accepting my request at joining my team, my face lit up brightly before I jumped slightly. “Great! I will send a messenger to tell you where we will be meeting tomorrow. My family has a estate not too far from the gates of Takigakure, and it's well hidden. I will need to get the keys to the house off my parents. There is a Dojo there as well, so if you want to train there, it's nice and private so you won't be disturbed.” I explain with a cheerful tone. “Besides, tomorrow, I will be explaining things to the members when they arrive. I am so excited!” My voice had gone up a few notches to a slight squeal – like tone. I just could not withhold my excitement. My hands withdrew from Nori's at this point as my body reluctantly created space between us. The cool air rushed in between us whipping my skirt up slightly and rustled my hair gently. A cool shiver went down my spine and goosebumps began to form along my arms, neck and legs. I rub my arms and huddle there for a few moments before looking up toward Nori for a final time. “Well, you have a good night and I shall see you sometime tomorrow.” I say, standing there for a few moments, lingering for a reason that will remain unknown.

His arms were strong and firm as they held my tiny frame up against him. His body heat immediately diminished any coolness that flooded my body. I responded instantly by wrapping my arms around Nori, my head was placed on his chest. The soft beating of his heart was strong and healthy, and the warmth felt like a blessing. I found myself smiling into his chest while I shifted my head to rest my forehead against him. “Your very warm..” I murmur, rubbing his chest with my face like a cat. But as he began talking about the Dojo house at the estate, I glance up toward him, realizing that my nose reached his chin. I blushed slightly and blinked a few times. “I will explain everything tomorrow; but the Dojo is open to all members of the team.” I explain, returning to rubbing my cheek against his chest. So it must be true: men are naturally warm people. But time was creeping on, and I was becoming more late by the second. Releasing a long sigh, I raised my head to Nori's face once again. “Thank you for the lovely day, was well worth it.” I say, throwing a playful wink in the mix and reluctantly withdraws slightly. My body took one step back, but not to the point when Nori would be forced to release me. My gaze lingered for a moment longer before I just raised to my tip toes to kiss him once more before parting for the final time. “See you tomorrow, Nori-san. And I'll send you a message about the directions to the estate.” I'd say before turning away and walking in the direction of the Tower.

[/b] I said with a chuckle as she raised her head to face me again. She thanked me for the day as I began to blush a bit darker. As she withdrew, I knew this was goodbye for now as I smiled at her, starting to retract my arms. My body stopped as I saw her lean up to kiss me as I returned it, getting used to it. No blush this time either. Retracting my arms fully, she bid me farewell and said she'll send me directions to her house. "See you tomorrow too." I said waving before I headed home with a smile on my face. Today wasn't so bad after all.[/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote][/ul][/size]
