I exclaimed, raising my hands towards the ceiling as I finished getting ready. I had finally gotten some well deserved rest and it was time to go out and relax. For as long as I've been in Kusagakure I still didn't have time to go out and actually explore the land for what it was, instead the spare time I had was spent on extra training to condition my body to be able to keep up with the rest of the strong ninja that were apart of this wonderful village. Leaving the house I was dressed in sweatpants, a generic t-shirt, and a pair of blue, comfortable tennis shoes. I wasn't dressing to impress anyone really, I could careless, I was going out to enjoy myself and I'd rather do that in some comfortable outfit then in some tight pants and an uncomfortable shirt. Cracking my neck as I walked towards the town square, I reminisced about my old days in this village, before it was destroyed for the first time. I had honestly thought that this village was going to stay destroyed, but fortunately it was rebuilt and give all of our people hope. It was amazing to be able to walk through the streets and see so many people that you know, who knows who else I'll pump into today.

ENTER~

Kasumi Sansei woke up and welcomed the day with open arms. Sun filtered into her room through two partially covered windows, and her numerous blankets and comforters swaddled her with a warmth that tempted her to stay in bed for the entire day. With no missions and no other obligations of any type, her day was looking to be dull and boring. A possible lazy day that she hadn't had in quite some time. Naturally though, her parents being as keen as they were, anticipated that she might feel that way. After not even five minutes past seven, an alarm blared from a small device across the room, beckoning her out of bed. What could have been a magical day was shattered so easily, before it had even begun.

Her routine was simple: a long hot shower, a dawning of her normal attire minus the headband and item pouches, and breakfast with her parents. For whatever reason, however, they had both left the house early that morning, leaving Kasumi a choice; she could cool and eat a plain breakfast in silence, or she could change it up and go out for a bite. It wasn't really much of a choice though, and without even needing to think about it Kasumi was slipping on her high reaching sandals and running out the door, headed for the center of the village.

As she made her way past face after face, she couldn't help but think about her life before Kusa. Though she missed the beaches of Mizu no Kuni dearly, Kusa offered a much better life for her and her family despite all it had been through. Its terrible past was actually what had drawn her parents in; nobody would have looked for them in a land that had been destroyed and all but erased from existence. Its amazing rebirth only served to make them even safer, though. Kusa was a full fledged village recognized as a major nation; there was no way that the enemies of Kasumi's parents would be getting to them any time soon.

The fiery haired kunoichi's daydreaming trance had landed her in what might be a little bit of trouble that morning, though. She had walked straight into another person and managed to fall down flat on her back because of the impact. After the second long shock faded, her mind immediately switched into damage control mode.

"Oh God, oh God! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" she asked in a somewhat high pitched voice. As she pushed herself up and began to dust herself off, she turned to look and see who exactly it was that she had bumped into. As she had been behind the person though, all she could really see of them was their dark hair.

I stopped to do some window shopping, and while I was looking at something that really caught my attention I was interrupted before I even got to see the name of the item. I felt weight push up against my back, but not strong enough to knock me over. "Why does this always happen to me..." I said out loud assuming that someone had bumped into me, the last time I was the one who bumped into some girl, so I knew what this person was going through. She probably had no clue what was going on, and was completely gone from the real world. Several moments later I heard a feminine voice squeal out from behind me, before I had the chance to turn around and help her up. "Yeah, I'm completely fine, how about you?" I said while rubbing the back of my head, I took a good look at her and automatically found her somewhat attractive. "Sorry for, ugh, standing there I guess." I stuttered a little bit before finishing my sentence, but I got out what I needed to say. She had the prettiest hair I've seen in a while, I really liked the way that color looked on her. The last time this happened I winded up getting into a fight with some random dude, I hoped this encounter would be completely different.

As she was so much shorter than this stranger -- almost a full foot separated them in terms of height -- Kasumi had managed to slam her head square into his strong, muscled back. Even before she had risen to her feet, she knew that he was probably a strong and able man. The reddish mark on her head which her hands flailed to rub was a testament to that fact. Needless to say, she was somewhat embarrassed by her blunder, but she wasn't the type of person to blush in such a situation. It took much, much more to elicit such a physical response.

"I'm alright," she said with a hushed tone, barely able to look up at the person she had so rudely interrupted while he was doing whatever it was he had been doing. When she was finally able to actually appreciate his appearance though, any regret was quickly drained from her thoughts. "I'm Kasumi," she introduced herself. A smile made its way into her expression with small undertones of flirtation that were barely even there. His black eyes, almost completely opposite of her own light blue ones, had quickly evoked a curiosity in her.

"Oh God, no. It's completely my fault," Kasumi said with a laugh. "If I had just been paying attention to where I had been going, maybe I wouldn't slammed into you like that." A single hand rose to adjust her yellow hair clip which had come slightly undone in the collision, bringing her red hair further into her face than she cared for. "Are you sure you're alright? I mean, you seem pretty strong and all, so I'm sure I couldn't have hurt you much."

I liked short girls, especially when they had such a nice face, and nice hair color. "What a nice name, I'm Esei." I said with a smile, before looking into her eyes, man it's like everything about this girl was beautiful. "You have some real nice eyes!." I said softly, a bit of flirtation sensed in the conversation. My favorite color was blue, so you could only imagine how much I loved blue eyes on a girl. "Don't worry about it! Happened to me before too." It truly was an embarrassing thing bumping into someone, especially when you didn't know who you'd bump into. Fortunately for me, the who was a cute girl who appeared to be a ninja just like myself, but looks could be deceiving so you never really knew. "Yeah I'm fine! But hey! Look at the positive, if you haven't bumped into me then this conversation would have never taken place." And the battle for her heart began...

[Nickito]

"Oh, well thanks!" she said to the surprising compliments. Though it wouldn't be a surprise to find out that Kasumi received quite a few compliments during her day to day life, she couldn't help but be caught off guard by them in her current situation. She had just rammed into him face first and before then they had never even met. On top of all that, she couldn't help but think that had their roles been reversed, with him being the one to bump into her, that she would have responded much differently than he had, despite his incredibly good looks. The dark hair and dark eyes were strangely appealing to her, but at the same time she couldn't let herself get as taken in by them as she wanted to.

"I'm just glad you didn't blow up on me or something like that," she said softly. "I mean, if it had been you that walked into me I might have gotten kind of mean. I try not to be rude, but... Sometimes it just comes out of me I guess. Some people say it's my hair." She laughed a slightly nervous laugh, rubbing the back of her head after the last word left her mouth. As she moved her arms though, she felt a strange tightness around her chest. Upon further inspection, her obi had gone lopsided, so as she fixed it she also fixed the rumpling of her yukata. She was more conscious of her appearance at that moment than she had been only several minutes before.

"Well I'm glad you're ok. I can't say I really regret bumping into you anyways, because you're right. If I hadn't then we might not be talking right now. I can't imagine how sucky the rest of my day would have been if I didn't get the chance." With a wink, she finished speaking for the moment, but even if she had more to say she wouldn't have been able to let it out. Her lips were tugged into too wide a grin.

"I would never, especially since I bumped into someone the other day too, it was a rather boring encounter; compared to this anyway." I noticed that this girl was used to receiving all these compliments, and being hit on by guys, maybe I should show less interest? Ah, I didn't care I was just looking to have a good day regardless if I get this girls number at the end of the day or not. "Aw~ That was cute." I cooed in response to her mentioning if it weren't for me the rest of her day would have been quite suckish. My day was just going to be boring, but now that I had met a lively girl who knows how it would turn out. "So, you want to get something to eat? Or maybe go to the arcade, if you're into that, that is." I wasn't sure if she was into games but I sure was, even though I was a weapon for killing I still had childlike tendencies at heart. I honestly couldn't wait to learn more about this girl, hopefully she wasn't one of those dumb pretty girls that I hated so much.

"I guess we both must be pretty clumsy then," the red head said. Though she wasn't often one to trip, fall or find herself the victim of any other mistake that fell into the category of being clumsy, walking into somebody clearly was just that. It struck her then that it was a rather odd feeling -- her childhood hadn't afforded her the luxury to make many mistakes, so she had never become accustomed to making them. In a way, she'd developed into the careful and precise woman she was in the present day because of it.

At his cooing, her face flashed a dull scarlet color momentarily, but it faded quickly, especially when she put her hands on his shoulders and pushed at him jokingly. "I was trying to be nice because I figured girls probably didn't say such flattering things to you very often." Through her tone of voice and her tongue sticking out it was clear that she didn't actually think what she said. In fact, she figured he was probably rather popular with the other members of her gender. The thought of it sparked something of a competitiveness deep in her chest, and the feeling caused her to subconsciously bite her lower lip, her conscious self almost unaware that she was doing so.

"Well I was on my way to get some breakfast since my parents skipped out on me this morning... But I guess I could be into going to an arcade," she said, feigning a lack of interest in the idea. What he probably didn't know was that Kasumi's inner child wasn't as deep inside as most people's were. Her's was actually very large, to the point of breaching the surface more often than not. "Lead the way, tall guy."

The light red color her cheek turned the moment I spoke, and she was also a little joker! "Haha, hilarious! I know, I'm so lucky to have such a beautiful girl compliment me." I stuck my tongue out at her while trying to continue the conversation. I always noticed the small things when talking to others, and I especially noticed this little lady bit her lower lip, even though I knew she probably had done it on purpose to spur some type of reaction from me. "Guess they don't love you!" I joked around, chuckling a bit after I made the statement. "It's this way! Hope you're ready." I said, providing a wink after. The arcade was only a short walks away, it wouldn't even take ten minutes to reach our destination. While we walked I decided to start up another conversation, I didn't want to endure a quiet walk when there was such a cutie standing by me. "So, Kasumi what do you like to do for fun? Besides spend time with me." I said with a smile. [/style] [style=margin-top: 6px; width: 100px; height:100px; float:right; font-size: 7pt; font-family: calibri; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; border: 5px solid #fefefe] [style=background-color: #e01e14; padding: 2px]TAG: NICKITO[/style] [style=margin-top: 5px; background-color: #e01e14; padding: 2px]—WORDS[/style] [style=margin-top: 5px; background-color: #e01e14; padding: 2px]© MOO OF OTE[/style][/style]

"You don't know the half of how lucky you are, Esei," she said with her most flirty tone. Her lip was even tighter between her teeth and her bedroom eyes twinkled in the sun, but she quickly turned her face away and unscrewed it, resetting it so to speak. 'Not too aggressive, Kasumi. He seems nice, so don't scare him away,' she thought to herself. With a deep breath, she mentally shook herself out and started fresh. Though most times she was just having fun, there was something about him that made her smile without a reason. He was fun and nice, and she thought she felt some sort of connection with him.

"Guess they don't," she said with a small, knowing chuckle. She followed closely behind him, a smile permanently on her face that only grew when he spoke again. "For fun? Well its actually sort of hilarious. I like to randomly bump into people and then squeeze my way into their plans for the day," she said jokingly. "You'd be surprised what a pretty face and some apologies can accomplish," she added quickly. "But in all seriousness, I train a lot, and when I'm not training a find a hot spring to relax at and show myself off in a bikini," she said through a grin.

As she walked, the warm happy feeling that had become less and less familiar flowed through her veins, but something hit her. She knew why she had been alone, but as for him, she hadn't a clue. "So hey, what about you? Why are you out by yourself? Not to say something cliched, but I'm surprised you don't have a special someone to spend down time with," she said slowly. "My parents ditched so that's why I'm out like this, but what about you?" she asked. As they continued to walk, she waited for his response, but an urge struck her at the same time. Since it seemed that he wasn't in any type of relationship, and she was starting to like him, the semi-aggressive aspect of her personality took over and she attempted to slip her hand into his. It was starting to feel like destiny had set them up on a blind date.

[spade]

It was odd, I was actually enjoying my day with this stranger. Usually when you bump into a random person there's always an awkward conversation, but for some reason there was an odd sense of comfort when I was around her, something I definitely couldn't complain about.

"Yeah, that face definitely had me from the start." I said teasingly with a smile on my face. She really liked teasing, huh? I guess some girls got off on that. "Guess our next date will be to a Hot Spring?" I said jokingly, but if she was serious about it, I would definitely go. I wondered what was wrong with her that she didn't have tons of guys around her, she seemed like a cool chick, and she was definitely a cutie, there had to be something!

"Honestly, not too many girls caught my eye like you did. I'm just very picky." I said with a smile. "I'm surprised you don't have a special someone, especially someone as gorgeous as you." She then slipped her hand into mine, which I welcomed wholeheartedly. My face began to blush a ton, and before I knew it my entire face was covered in red. However, we finally arrived at the arcade which caused it to fade away. "Ready to lose?" I stuck my tongue out as I ran inside, holding her hand as I headed towards my favorite game.

[Nickito]

Her smile was impossible to suppress. Every tooth could be seen and the kunoichi was afraid that her lips might split in half if her lips spread anymore. Nobody had ever made her smile in such a way, or as much as Esei was. "Guess I better thank my parents for being able to give me a face like this then. Without it I might not have hooked you," she said jokingly. The line of humor continued as words left her mouth before she could even think about them in response to his question. "If you think you can handle seeing me with barely any clothes on."

Though it sounded incredibly vain, it wasn't intended to be so, but she knew that it had come out wrong. "Then again, who knows if I'll be able to contain myself seeing you that way," she added, her subtle attempt at seeming less than shallow. She knew that she wasn't bad looking, her self esteem in that regard had always been rather stable, and sometimes she even flaunted her appearance when her flirtatious side came out. With Esei though, she didn't want to come off as a sleaze looking to get naked. Sh wanted to be as much of herself as she could muster. Though it was a part of her personality, the bedroom eyed woman wasn't all she had to offer.

"Picky, huh? Well consider me flattered to be someone that you can take an interest in." His mention of her not having anybody in her life didn't come as a surprise. In fact, she'd been expecting it in a way. She had brought it up, after all. She wasn't sure how exactly to respond, and it took her a moment to form the words in her mind and transfer them to her tongue. "I guess I've just never been able to get close to anybody before... For whatever reason." As their skin made contact, she detected his blush only momentarily before it was gone. She had almost failed to notice it -- it had blended in almost perfectly with the hair that framed her facade.

Before she had a chance to mention it, he had tugged her into what she assumed was the arcade and, in a way, challenged her indirectly. "We'll see who the loser is, tough guy," she said, moving herself closer to him and directing her mouth to his ear. "I'm not above playing dirty if I have to," she whispered in an alluring tone before setting her feet flat on the ground and separating herself from him, reluctantly releasing his hand to crack her knuckles. "So, how does this work anyway?" she questioned.

[spade]

"We'd have to see, wouldn't we?" Who knew if I'd be able to take her, I'd had my fair share of experience but every girl was different, and that lesson I had already learned. "It'd be better if you didn't." I was referring to whether or not she'd be able to contain herself, if not, hell I wouldn't be the one to complain.

She was a cute girl, and I liked her personality so far. It was cool that she was down to go to an arcade, most girls would have blown me off thinking they were too good for such an activity; fucking bitches. But nah, this girl was way different, I hope I wasn't falling for her too soon. "I should be flattered having such a beauty even take a look at me." I smiled a little bit, trying to conceal the fact that I was so happy.

We made it to the game station and unexpectedly she whispered into my ear in a tone I wouldn't expect to be used anywhere else but in the bedroom. Her voice sent chills down my spine which caused my body to shiver a bit before returning back to normal. "If you do that then I'll have to do" I moved my fingers towards her stomach gently tickling her "do this!"

[Nickito]

The shiver was almost undetectable, but she had managed to catch it and it made her smile, though it was because it had nearly caused her to laugh, not because she was pleased with herself for causing it. She thought that it had been cute, in a way. "NO! STOP!" she yelled out soon after, an infectious laughter emanating from deep inside of the girl. Though she wasn't exactly the most ticklish person ever, she wanted to play along with it and as soon as he had begun, she had reacted. She gripped his arm with both hands, pushing and pulling it at about half strength, moving herself back and forth against him in an attempt to break free. Truth be told, she didn't want to, but it was all a part of the act.

Soon enough, she had wiggled free from him, but it had come at a cost; her hair had become a mess and her face was red from a slight blush and her laughter. Try as she might, her smile was impossible to press down and her laugh continued on momentarily. The kunoichi looked up at him with a peculiar look, part surprise and part pleasure. "I thought I was gonna be the one that played dirty," she said, winking at him quickly. "Guess this might not go exactly the way I had planned after all," she added, her words like a lure. When the last word had left her mouth, she had turned back to the game and cleared her throat, a more subtle smile on her lips as she looked at him out of the corner of her eye.

She'd never played the game that he had brought her to. In fact, she hadn't played most of the games that she could see in the establishment. She'd only ever been to an arcade a few times before, and though she had thoroughly enjoyed herself, she was always busy doing other things, mostly training to be stronger so that she would feel somewhat secure in her day to day life. Esei's eagerness had lit a spark in her though, and she planned on coming more often, if only to practice to the point that she'd be able to beat him at the games they played. Confident as she might be, she knew she wouldn't be able to beat someone at something she'd never done. "So, are you gonna at least tell me how the game works, or do I have to make you tell me?" she asked, grinning.

[Nickito]

It was a mystery as to what it was that triggered her memory, but she suddenly had a flashback of what had taken place in her home the night before. Her parents had decided that going out as a family would be fun, and something that might change things up a bit for the better. Though Kasumi hadn't exactly been thrilled about the idea, she hadn't wanted to let her parents down, and so had decided to join them. When she woke up that morning, however, she had completely spaced and forgotten about the plan, which lead her to meeting Esei. She glanced at a clock and saw that she still had time to make it to her parents without them ever suspecting a thing, so reluctantly, she decided to leave.

"I'm so sorry but I have to go!" she exclaimed, moving away from the game and rnning quickly towards the door. "I completely forgot, but my parents weren't in the house this morning because they were going to do something before meeting up with me for some sort of family bonding thing. I'm really, really sorry about this. Maybe we can hang out another time!" she said frantically, her hand pushing the door to the place open and her feet carrying her out at a brisk pace.
