But he had stayed there for months longer than he had intentioned, not wanting to leave. It was just that they all reminded him so much of his mother, and he missed her so dearly that he wanted to stay. Ever since she had passed on he had felt so lost, and there he had felt as if he had belonged. But just a week ago he had received a message from the village stating that if he didn’t return, he would be marked as a missing nin. So now Naoki was back, missing his family of course but thinking his duties as a shinobi were more important. His mother had been so proud when he had become one, after all. The young man was keeping to himself for the most part as he walked the streets, carrying on his age old tradition of trying to just clear his head of all his worries. That was how he dealt with them after all, by not dealing with them and just pushing them to the very back of his mind. At some point he ended up at a public garden, some fall flowers still blooming and his butterflies drifting over to them instead of the flowers on himself sometimes just to drink some different nectar. He took a seat on a bench and just stared at the fountain, listening to the quiet sounds of the rushing water. Only one day ago he had returned, and he had yet to do much of anything and was still trying to gather up the motivation to get back into the swing of things. Of course he didn’t want to laze about forever and he had already been gone for so long, but he was still having a bit of trouble.

[Mist]

Such a boring day. There didn’t seem to be much to do. Well than again perhaps this was the attitude because the person who found it boring hasn’t been doing much lately. A pair of bored eyes stared at a ceiling of the owners bedroom. A male teen laying on his bed just staring blankly up. He hasn’t been doing missions or training at all lately. Perhaps he should actually get up and do something. Well no point just wondering about it he might as just well. Suiting up and getting out of his bed he yawned and stretched. He retrieved his black jacket and placed on on and headed out of his home.

He walked around the streets of kirigakure. After plenty of exploration he got quite used to them. Now much more than ever before he was more brave and cared far less if people looked at him oddly for his shark like appearance. He was quite glad of this accomplishment. He always wanted to be less shy and be more outgoing. Working harder with having more public interactions and it actually going through with it.

The shark boy had been walking around for twenty or so minutes passing by a few spots that would be a nice stop by like some sweet shops or other attractions that always grabs the locals. By why is he just wasting his time simply walking around? Shouldn’t he be taking a mission or training instead? He decided to turn back to do just that when something caught his eye. A person heading to a local park. That person looked familiar but he couldn’t quite grasp who it was. He stared for a few seconds gathering his mind up and remembered. Tsuyu headed over to the teen.”Hey” was all he said with a smile on his face.”Nice to see ya.” still having a smile spread on his face.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,bTable][atrb=style, background:url(http://i48.tinypic.com/35b8jnp.png); width:494px; border:2px solid #f7f1e1;] Golden eyes noticed a familiar form approaching from a distance, blinking a couple times as they moved from the fountain to the newcomer instead. Tsuyu he certainly remembered, even if they hadn’t done much back when they had first met. With how the other guy looked, it would have certainly been difficult to forget. And when he was approached with a smile, he returned it with a small one of his own with a little half-assed smile of his own as well. “Hi Tsuyu, it’s been a long time, huh?” Naoki shifted his weight on the bench, moving to one side as an invitation for the other to join him if he wished. “I feel as if I must apologize for having been gone for so long, I certainly hadn’t planned on it,” he said as he looked at the shark boy for a moment, then glancing off to the side in guilt. The two of them had had plans before he left, but that had so clearly fell through, and of course he felt as if it was his own fault. For a moment the brunette remained silent, before forcing himself to look back at the guy. “How have you been anyway? It’s almost been a year since we last spoke,” the genjutsu master muttered, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. It had been so, so much time that he had more or less wasted, having been away from the village that he had sworn to work for and protect.

[Mist]

It was nice that Naoki still remembered him. Then again is it hard to forget a blue hued shark person?? Probably not unless you try hard. The guy in front of him seemed to be doing ok. He was alive at least so by Tsuyus definition he was alright. He hasn’t been around for a while so it would be a lie if Tsuyu said he hadn’t wondered where Naoki had gone off to. But that’s not something he has to think about anymore. Naoki was here after all this time. Tsuyu was sure there must have been a good reason.

Tsuyu saw Naoki moving over to the a little saying that the hoshigaki can sit there if he wants too. Well how nice. he though as he sat next down. Naoki apologized for not being around. He seemed slightly concerned about that. Was it because of what the two had planned before? “Don’t worry about it. I’m not to concerned with it. I’m just seeing you now and I’m glad your still alright and alive.” he said truthfully. He would hope that after those words were said that Noaki wouldn’t let it bother him anymore either.

The brown haired boy followed up by asking how Tsuyu has been doing. Tsuyu gave the boy a slight hug.”Aww your so much nicer and open now then you were when we first met.” he said in a slight tease but it was actually a compliment. Releasing from holding Naoki he thought for a bit.”Well I was a good candidate choice for the current Chunin Exams. I passed on going as I felt like more training would be needed.” he stopped. And smile and looked back at Naoki.”You seem to be doing good. I’m glad. I worried about you for a little but Im glad you’re here now. How have you been?” he asked curiously.”Oh but you don’t have to say if you don’t want to.” he said thinking that his long absence might be personal.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,bTable][atrb=style, background:url(http://i48.tinypic.com/35b8jnp.png); width:494px; border:2px solid #f7f1e1;] A quiet and sheepish chuckle escaped the brunette at the others words, glad to hear that Tsuyu wasn’t upset with him. “I suppose I should have sent word back that I was fine, huh?” It was a tad too late now, but at the very least the ANBU had known where he was to give him a warning to return. Naoki was just about to apologize again when he was pulled into a hug, his body tensing as his golden eyes went a little wide. Contact like this certainly wasn’t something he was used to, not from someone outside his family and certainly not from another male. Perhaps there was a light embarrassed blush on the genjutsu master’s cheeks at the other’s actions and words, but he quickly composed himself and straightened himself back out when he was let go. “Ah, yeah, sorry about that, I hadn’t been in the best of moods that day,” he muttered, rubbing the side of his neck lightly, right next to one of the flowers growing out of his skin was. At the moment he certainly wasn’t in an angry mood, which was obvious because he hadn’t snapped and put the poor boy under a genjutsu this time around. “I was at a Kitateha estate, visiting family. I sort of just didn’t want to come back for a while, at least not until some ANBU showed up and warned me to return before I got marked missing,” he admitted, not seeing any reason to hide this information from the shark fellow. Especially since he had left without giving notice to the other in the first place. “And I understand what you mean about the Chuunin Exams, I probably won’t be going for a while, either.”

[Mist]

Sent word to Tsuyu. The shark boy didn’t really think that would’ve been all that necessary . Not that any of this matters anymore. Tsuyu wondered now that Naoki was back he probably had a lot to do or catch up possibly in the village. Was merely chatting with him fine? Well if he was simply relaxing in the park he must be using spare time. Tsuyu stared off into the distance of the park. It was a calming atmosphere. Nice and pleasant.

This reminded the hoshigaki of the first time he met Naoki. It was also in a park. Theyre first meeting might not have been in good terms. But hopefully the two can get past that little moment. Naoki even apologizing again for that event on their first meeting.”Hrmm do you always visit parks during your spare time?” he asked curiously since it was on his mind. Not acknowledging the apology from the boy. To Tsuyu it was best to let it go.

And oh wow. He was gone so long that the Anbu had to warn him? That must have been a mental trip when that happened.”The Anbu really warned you? Did that freak you out at all? he asked again with curiosity in his voice. Naoki saying he would like to wait for the next exams as well.”I’ll probabl be going to the next one. I think I’ll be ready for the next one for sure. He closed his eyes to feel the parks relaxing flow. This reminded him of something.

“Well during your absence I have been training and I like to think of myself as stronger than I was before.” he said as he felt his mind reach out. Looking for something and finding it rather quickly. He could feel it. Noakis chakra pool. It wasn’t as large as Tsuyu’s but was that cause Tsuyu was a hoshigaki or he had yet to improve his sensory abilities? The shark boy could feel the particular flow of Naokis chakra pattern. He would be sure to recognize this from now. He opened his eyes and faced.”Hey is there anything you would like to do? Would you like to get something to eat? Visit a place. Id like to spend some time with you now that we’re together” he asked thinking if there was anything more to Naoki than just parks.

I just like how quiet they are, and my butterflies enjoy the nectar of the flowers here as well,” Naoki explained as he leaned onto the armrest of the bench, bringing his hand up she he could rest his chin on top of it. A quite chuckle was pulled from his lips when the other asked about him freaking out over the ANBU, not about to admit that there had been some panic involved. “No, all I had to do was return and answer some questions and they let me go,” he was downplaying it a bit, as matters were generally much more serious when the ANBU were involved. “I might go to the next as well, I dunno,” he muttered as he shifted his weight in his seat slightly, glancing over towards the relaxed Tsuyu and thinking it a little strange the boy’s eyes were closed, but not thinking much of it otherwise. “Improving is always a good thing,” the brunette admitted as he looked off to the side, away from the peaceful features of the blue boy. Naoki had no idea that the other was more or less tagging his chakra signature, thinking that Tsuyu was merely relaxing. Golden eyes blinked at the other’s questions, looking back over towards the teen who now made eye contact. “Sure, we could go grab some food, if you’re not too busy. I’m not particularly hungry at the moment though, so we could train or something instead,” Naoki didn’t want to admit it, but his abilities were likely a bit rusty now, not having really focused on combat at all during the past few months.

[Mist]

Tsuyu was replied on naoki liking the park. It definetly seemed somethigns des done several times but the shark boy just supposed it was Naokis go to place.The shark boy almost forgot that Naoki was in connection with butterflies. Didn’t Naoki explain that during the first meeting? Tsuyu remember he was able to communicate with them. Interesting. Tsuyu really didn’t like bugs much but butterflies weren’t that bad out of insects.

So naoki and the butterflies had possible similar interests. Like how Tsuyu liked shark activities of swimming. Weird on how Naoki wasn’t surprised about the Anbu. It would’ve surprised Tsuyu and made him frantic to return back to the village. But small differences between people he supposed. Naoki ddint seem opposed to walking around and going anywhere. Well at least he was being cooperative but Tsuyu wasn’t completely satisfied by his answer.

Naokis answer didn’t sound too thrilled. Maybe that was the brunettes personality the blue boy didn’t know him well enough. But the lax answer wasnt good enough. Made it sound like he was just tagging along rather than wanting to go somewhere.”You sure you wanna go somewhere? You don’t sound all too interested. I think it will give us a further chance to know each other” saying his mind out. He thought a little bit trying to think of places to go.”Hrmmm well there is a skating park, museums and movies. Theyre popular for couples but we might like them. Ooo oo I know theres a petting zoo and a training gym in the modern district. Or we could go to the open market and see all the items and snacks vendors have. I’m sure they have neat stuff to look at.” he said with smiles on his face trying to get the genjutsu users interest in something.

But even that amused expression faded and was replaced with another blush when Tsuyu started listing off places that would be more likely for people to go on dates. “It’d probably be better if we avoided places like that,” he muttered as he composed himself, chuckling awkwardly. Naoki was actually quite shy in nature, and he certainly didn’t want people assuming anything by seeing the two of them going out together in any of those places. “Can’t we just go to one of the training grounds? There usually aren’t many people there,” Naoki tried this suggestion again, not really caring what they did as long as they were alone for the most part. Large crowds made him nervous, a weakness that he didn’t quite want to share. Well, he didn’t want to share any of them really, to tell the truth. “And you said you got stronger since I left, right? Why not show me? And I could perhaps show you what genjutsu can pull off as well,” he said as he turned towards Tsuyu a little more, and if he sounded a tad more excited it was because he wanted to convince the other not to go to the more popular areas.

[Mist]

Was it him or did Naoki just have a slight blush in his cheeks? Nah he probably didn’t see that right. Naoki muttered his reluctance to go to those kind of places? He might have muttered them but the shark boy definitely heard it. Why not they sounded fun to Tsuyu. Tsuyu said those places because he thought it would be fun to visit them so he wasn’t exactly sure on why Naoki didn’t want to go to those places exactly. Then the brown haired boy mentioned training grounds where there aren’t many people.

He didn’t want to be around people? The shark boy can sympathize but he felt somewhat bummed.”Aww you just want to go to a quiet place. I thought going to the petting zoo sounded fun. I would’ve like doing that with you. Its ok I just want to see you happy. Lets get going then.” he said causally. “Maybe we can go to the petting zoo some other time.[/b]” he said slightly quieter and a little disappointed. He thought about a place for the guy that he might want to possibly go to.

He smiled at what he said then Tsuyu suddenly burst into laughter.me using genjutsu. That’s too funny. he thought as he was laughing. Sorry. It’s just that my clan of shark people are infamous for being unable to use genjutsu so the thought of me using it was funny.” he apologized for his sudden laughter. “Oh so you’d rather see my jutsu than animals huh? I guess I can show you." He got off the bench and stretched his arms. Getting ready to go and looked back at Naoki.”I have to much energy so. Come on follow me. I know where some training grounds are.” he said then sprinted expecting the other to keep up and follow.

[Naoki]

It was childish and kind of cute, even… Soon as that thought entered his mind he tried to snuff it out, telling himself so blatantly that it was wrong to think that way in his mind. “Yeah, we can go later,” he agreed with a half-assed smile, hating how easy it was for Tsuyu to make his heart start pounding away nervously inside his chest, almost fluttering as his butterflies did. Golden eyes blinked at the other’s laugher, not knowing what he had said that was funny, rolling them and swatting the other’s side playfully when the shark boy revealed what it was. “I didn’t say you should use genjutsu. I just meant I could show you mine; it’s certainly not very popular from what I’ve seen. A lot of people like big and flashy techniques more, it seems,” he said as he moved to stand up, stretching out his limbs a little because he had been sitting for so long. Before he knew it Tsuyu was sprinting away, and he chuckled quietly at before he ran after. He wasn’t quite as fast unfortunately, and he wanted to be careful of moving too fast because his butterflies were latching onto his back since they couldn’t keep up flying on their own, he certainly didn’t want to lose them either. Sure he could always get more butterflies later, but he easily grew attached to them.

[Mist]

Oh so he didnt mean Tsuyu using Genjutsu? It sounded like that way to him but oh well. If they were gonna eventually have a ninja show and tell he didnt mind seeing genjutsu especially since he cant use it anyways. It could turn otu to be quite interesting should he actually get to see something new. Hopefully this time around none of it will be used this time around on the shark boy. Well he was sure that wouldnt come to pass now.

Something struck through the boys mind as he moved along. Why was he sure that Naoki wouldnt attack him this time around? Did he trust the older boy even despite he was attacked by him? It was true thats how they met officially but that wasnt the case. The shark boy reflected on it. Looking behind to see Naoki trying to keep up with the hoshigaki. He wasn't doing a bad job even with Tsuyu's headstart. He did seem a little slower at running though not that it mattered to Tsuyu.

He can see from Naokis intentions on trying to be nice to Tsuyu that he wasnt a bad guy after the way they met. Its not like he was hostile. The shark boy ran through the city and out into clearing. Going into a small thicket of trees and emerging into a clear open field. It was surrounded by trees. Like an area untouched by a forest.Tsuyu would stop and wait for the brunette. Once he would arrive he would say."Welcome. This is a training grounds upheld by the village. The village endorses coming here. So its where many come but its not like clustered with people." he said wanting to seem like he knew what he was talking about.

His hands could produce handseals incredibly quick, yet his body overall was a bit sluggish compared to it. And he was even panting lightly when he finally caught back up with the other, leaning against one of the trees lightly as he caught his breath. Mentally he made a note to work out more, knowing damn well that he needed to be in good shape to be an effective ninja. “Ah, right. I usually go to the less popular training grounds myself, even if it’s kind of necessary to have a training partner for learning most genjutsu,” he said after his quick recovery, standing tall once more and certainly not wanting to seem weak. “It’s a lot more dangerous than people tend to think though, a user of the illusionary arts needs to be delicate with the way they affect their opponent’s mind,” he explained off-handedly, damn near muttering because he really didn’t think it was all that important, not for someone like him at least. More like a lesson for a novice. For a brief moment, golden eyes glanced over the shark boy. “What is it that you specialize, again?” Honestly he wasn’t sure if Tsuyu had ever told him, unable to recall off the top of his head at the very least.

[Mist]

(I do apologize for late responses but now that school has lightned up I can post more regularly now)

Oh my. He wasnt expecting Naoki to finish following him out of breathe. Did he over estimate him? Tsuyu stood there wanting to let him catch his breathe and it seemed the polite thing to do since he kind of made Naoki follow him by running when they could have always walked. He didnt mind waiting as the brunette leaned against a tree. The hoshigaki wondering exactly what Naoki wanted to do here. He looked around the area it was empty this time around. Naoki would like that right?

Naoki began to explain his reasoning behind his genjutsu training background. Hrmm. So was that how it was? The hoshigaki never gave much thought to it since he never had to train or will train genjutsu. But thats different at least he learned something new. Well Genjutsu training didnt sound too different from ninjutsu training. Genjutsu can harm a p0ersons mental state but ninjutsu can harm a persons physical state. So sometimes ninjutsu also had to be practiced alone depending on the ninjutsu but perhaps genjutsu was more picky and needed complete elusiveness?

He was than asked on his specialties.That was something unique when it came to Tsuyu. Making an elongated "hmmm sound" "Well I've been practicing ninjutsu a lot. But im switching to taijutsu and other styles. I like to be versatile." he said. it can be simple but he wanted to practice in many things not just one thing by itself."I even came back from the rain country not long ago from a quick taijutsu training session. Im still not great at it but I have plenty of room. So I guess at the moment it would be ninjutsu." he admitted to Naoki.

Not many people had the fine chakra control needed for it he believed, and even if they did it wasn’t the most interesting discipline for everyone. If they were to get in a fight, he couldn’t help but think that he would end up the loser with his current arsenal, but he didn’t really want to admit it. Well, unless he the shark boy hadn’t any defenses against genjutsu, which he didn’t know of. “I was wondering how much genjutsu you’ve seen in action? It’s quite a bit rarer than either ninjutsu or taijutsu, I believe,” he was genuinely curious, knowing that some shinobi wouldn’t witness any genjutsu for quite some time, if they were lucky.

[Mist]

Well balance is a good thing isnt it? He thought about it. Generally balance can make a person more suitable for situations but perhaps maybe when balance wasnt good was when u needed to be strong in a certain area for something but your only "adequate" because you tried to be balanced. Perhaps he should try and be strong in certain areas as well just like Naoki was doing for genjutsu. That way he can have some balance but have a main mode of how he operates.

Just what Naoki said started some gears in the hoshigaki's mind. But Tsuyu thought back to jutsu's he has seen other perform before. him. Looking back at naokia."None." he said cheerily smiling.he hadnt seen any besides the one thing Naoki performed but the brunette should remember that."Did you want to practice new ones here?" he asked out of curiosity.

No, I didn’t really have that in mind. I just wanted to show you... Just keep in mind it’s not real,” Naoki said with a little smile, and very quickly he was able to form the seals needed for one of his most basic illusions. Hell Viewing Technique was what it was called, and it was one of the pattern perception’s signature techniques and it summoned hellish beasts that didn’t exist in this world. At least, as far as Naoki knew they didn’t exist since he was creating them from his own imagination. What was created was a large canine-like beast that towered over them, it had two heads and was a very dark red, almost black. Its faces were horribly disfigured and menacing, barely recognizable as canines. But their jaws certainly were distinguishable, an ugly yellowing to its teeth, and they appeared to be worn from use as well. And its eyes were a glowing read, and it dropped low as it growled demonically at Tsuyu and just as it began to leap, Naoki dispelled the jutsu. “With genjutsu, what you’re creating doesn’t have to be possible,” he said, knowing that the chances of Tsuyu having seen something like that before were slim to none. The genjutsu master seemed much calmer than usual, very much in his comfort zone at the moment.

[Mist]

oh so he didnt want to come here to train. It was just purely showing each other what they could do after all. Well he did expect that because its what they said but he wnted to just ask in car. Plus he supposed them knowing what the other could offer. Was this why Naoki wanted to do this so it could help them as a potential team? He'll ask later but for now Naoki seemed quite focused.

Naoki began to form hand seals starting his genjutsu already. Illusions where you can create anything you want? Sounded tricky but useful for many situations probably, He wondered what would be shown to tsuyu but the young shinobi quickly found out as a large demonic canine stood before him. his face changed quickly to shock as he saw this. He knew it wasnt real but thats just....its just so weird to see something like that.

The hoshigaki having to mentally tell himself it wasnt real repeatedly seeing something this freaky. With the demonic canine growing closer to him the shark boy unknowingly closed his eyes and let out a small whimper. This wsnt real but it was just an unsettling area for him with his inexperiance of genjutsu. Then he heard the words that things can be created that dont have to be possile. oPenining his eyes slowly the illusion was gone. He sighed. He'll have to toughen up since this style can be a weakness of his. "Thats rather..unique" he said with the look on his face showing his nervousness from the vision.

And truth be told, the main reason he did this was because he merely had wanted to avoid going to all of the more public areas that the shark boy had suggested. “Sorry if it scared you, but it’s probably better if you’re exposed to it before you face any of this in battle, right?” He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, feeling bad because of the nervousness he could see and hear. “That’s one of the most basic ones, and they can get a lot worse. Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll never have to find out,” he offered awkwardly, not really understanding why he felt a particular need to make this boy feel better… Or perhaps he understood it completely, and he just wished that he didn’t. “Sorry, this was a bad idea,” the genjutsu master sighed as he apologized again, not liking the thoughts that were running through his mind and suddenly he felt the need to escape. Yes he liked spending time with Tsuyu, and that’s exactly what the problem was. He knew what it was deep down; he knew that he harbored feelings for this boy, even if they weren’t much. And that scared the hell out of him, he wanted to ignore it, he wanted to pretend as if it wasn’t even a possibility. And if he was getting a little antsy and fiddly, it was because his overbearing conscious was beginning its usual routine and was starting to eat him alive.

Naoki apologized if his illusions scared Tsuyu. Even saying that being exposed might be good before going into battle. Yeah that did sound good. He was just thinking on how that would be better for himself. It still didn't help the fact that currently as he was he just wasnt used to it quite yet so it was hard but thats probably what needed exposure was needed for. But that wasnt much for the worst part about this as Tsuyu tried to recollect himself.

For him the worst part was having somebody else see this side of him. On how how nervous and unsettled he was. Even to the point where he closed his eyes. It was embarrassing for him. His cheeks started to glow a medium dark blue but just a few shades. His cheeks growing darker when Naoki said that what he used was just "a basic one" he couldn't even retain himself for something supposedly simple?

He realized that Naoki might notice his discompose while he was dealing with this. He'll have to deal with this problem head on and just be more exposed to genjutsu so this wouldnt happen again then. Hopefully he will learn to be more prepared with this. Maybe not it wouold be his turn to do something unsure of the direction of things."Ok. Um what about your exposure to ninjutsu. Im sure you have been since its more common. Like what kind? General? Releases? I dont know general ninjutsu just release stuff that uses the nature around me" he said trying to move past his earlier embarrassment.
