I totally did not expect for Akira to just receive another room like that at the Inn. And this time, there were several delicious platters made available to us! I had no idea how he was able to get all of this stuff, but I trusted him enough to not even question him. Cheerily smiling, I would look at all of the different variety of foods and begin to grab a bowl and start shoving a little bit of each type into the bowl.

The chicken fried rice was first to go into the bowl, since it was serve as the foundation for the rest of the meal. And then I took some beef and broccoli. Those were my favorite! I just had shrimp ramen for lunch, so I was not really in the mood for any sushi at the time, but it was whatever. Eating my meal, I began to wonder why Akira did not want to eat anything. Even if he was not hungry, it always made me feel awkward if I was the only one eating when I was with someone.

However, because I was so hungry, I decided that it did not even matter in the grand schemes of things. The only thing I wanted to do was eat a decent hot meal. I’d prefer to have some water with my meal, but there did not appear to be a jug of water anywhere. He had a rather large bottle of sake near him—but I never really considered that a beverage to go with dinner. ”Akiraaa, try some of this food we have!” Using my chopsticks in my right hand, I would grab a clump of chicken fried rice and attempt to feed Akira with it.

Laughing hysterically, I would make the sounds of an airplane that would be “flying” towards him. ”It’s so good, I don’t know how you can’t eat right now.” Hopefully, he would have opened his mouth to eat the handful of food. Otherwise, I would simply pout and finish it myself. The couch that I was sitting on was so comfortable that I did not even want to get up. The room was very cozy and I really liked being out of the Mist village more frequently. It made me feel more alive…in some weird way. I loved to be with Akira so much that I could not even fathom what I would do without him with me honestly.

I could not even finish my meal. Once my body was properly nourished, all I could think about was being with him. I never wanted us to be apart, even though I knew sometimes that we would. Just looking at him made me smile, he brought me feelings of love that I could not even explain. He was different than my previous boyfriends, and yet—he still seemed to be someone that I knew all along. I probably sound stupid, but I was never good at deciphering what true love really was.

”So Akira, do you believe in love? I mean the whole—there’s that one special person out there for you, and once you find them, you two will be together happily ever after.” It was an odd question, but I just wanted to hear his voice again. I placed my bowl on the table, and then sat back down on the couch with Akira, snuggling on his chest. I loved feeling his arms around my body, hugging me tightly and making me feel secured. My arms would dabble on the coffee table in front of us, pouring a small amount of sake for us both in two small glasses. Sake was something best drank in moderation, unless you were intending to get messed up.

I took a sip of the sake and listened carefully to his thoughts. I wanted to understand him more, so I guess this was the perfect chance to do just that.

Even without his arms, my boyfriend ended up still being a better taijutsu user than myself. It was absolutely frustrating that I was unable to even land a single hit on him, but I had to continually remind myself that he was far more advanced than I was it. It was a fact, and there was no getting around it. However, I still enjoyed the challenge. Just because he may have been more trained than I was, it did not mean that I wasn’t allowed to train with him, right? Of course not!

This was the exact reason why I wanted to get stronger. I knew I had the right combination of techniques to be a more deadly force; I just had to learn how to use them better and learn some new techniques. It would take time to increase the amount of techniques that I knew, but once I trained more—I knew that I could possibly be of a bigger threat to him. His left foot had caught me off guard, extending directly in front of my right foot and attempting to make me fall forward.

The blunt obstacle caused me to lose my balance, but as he was barely backing up, I would use quickly end my jyuuken techniques fully and focus my attention on my left foot. Because of the momentum that I was charging forward, and my right leg abruptly stopped by his leg, my left leg would have been still moving forward, and with a stomp on the ground in front of me, I remained steady in place and pushed off of the ground with all of my might. ’Tsk.’ It was a delicate maneuver, but my petite body would be able to redirect its weight at a moment’s notice.

With my left leg stopping me from falling and pushing me backwards away from him, I would now be positioned about a yard away. It was not a great distance divider, but I had something else in mind for him. Without missing a beat, I observed the several handfuls of treetrunks that surrounded directly behind Akira about six meters away. ’Hm’. How can he still fight so well and be holding one of those things? If I had the same handicap as Akira, there would be no way I would be able to fight at all. Although I had ended my sixty-four palms, my byakugan still remained active. Taijutsu was not going to work against him directly, so I had to attack him indirectly. It would be tough, considering I did not have a very large variety of techniques to choose from.

I grinned at my love as I began to do a quick string of handseals. It would only take a little more than a second to complete the lower ranking technique. My spiritual energy now exploding within my body, I was ready to once again strike. My cheeks would puff up a bit before releasing a devastating cloud of purple smoke. Of course, to someone not trained in the medical arts they would probably mistaken the cloud to just be a smoke-screen which is exactly what it appeared to be. A simple diversion to veil the user's movements. However, I knew of its poisonous abilities backed behind the smoke and hoped for the best.

I would use the weakest variation of the technique, allowing for the gas to travel ten-meters from my position. Because of our close distance, the smoke would rapidly spread forward within seconds. It was a rather fast-paced technique used to escape or attack. My blue-eyes would allow for me to see exactly how he was fairing from within the smoke cloud. It would only take one breath of the smoke for him to inhale its poisonous properties. I had hoped that even if he had attempted to dodge, he would have still breathed it in. Otherwise, I remained in my current position watching him carefully and growing a bit tired.

Why is he so tall and strong? Damn it!

’Just, who is this guy, anyways?’ As soon as I thought I was getting closer to Akira, learning more about his personality and his background, he turned out to be someone even more different. I knew that he was physically strong, probably the strongest man I had ever met. He displayed that on numerous occasions such as running up a mountain, and knocking down the wall accidently by falling into it just a few moments ago, but this? This was on a whole new level. He used tree trunks to squat with… That was some inhuman training. Clearly I would be unable to carry out the same feat, or even half of that.

I knew I had to keep up, somehow, so I would not hesistate to even begin to charge him. As Akira lowered himself while squatting, my foot would press against the surface of the ground and lunge my body forward. With great force, I closed the distance between us to a mere five feet by the time he would just be fully lowered. My body was also crouched lower to the ground, anticipating a possible kick of his leg or any sudden movement that he could try to counter me with.

My right hand formed a fist as I went to punch him directly in the chest, with my left hand poised to guard any incoming attack.

To put it franky, Akira was way too tall to be flopping around nude in the room the way he was. I almost wanted to laugh at the sight of him falling backwards, tripping over his own articles of clothing trying to look decent for me. However, I had completely forgotten about his strength and well—things were slowly getting out of hand. With both arms fully extended in front of me, I would wave my arms back and forth frantically as I began to shout.

”Akira, watch ou-!”

It would be too late. My reaction was not quick enough to save my poor boyfriend from crashing through the wall behind him. I would then tense my body accordingly, my hands covering my face as I tried to avoid seeing his self-inflicted pain. My usual blue optics now slammed shut, trying to mentally forget everything that was going on around me. Immediately after his crash-course through the wall, I heard his booming voice cussing over and over again.

”B-babe? Are you...alright?”

He probably was in no condition to answer me, seeing as he was just shaken up and tossed all over the place, but I could not help but ask that question anyways as a common courtesy sort of thing. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that he actually tried to cover his nude self in front of me—maybe he truly was not the typical ‘dog’ I thought he was. He really seemed to respect my decisions and time after time, he continues to show that same devotion to me.

I made my way towards the newly created pathway (the hole) to the neighbor’s room, poking my small frame into it to get a better view of Akira. '...Wow.' His body resting beneath the rubble was actually a pretty funny sight, and I wish that I had a picture so that I could savoir this moment. As he began to get up and gain his composure, I would turn away so he did not have to worry about me staring, and I would a wait for him to meet me back in the common room of his suite.

”Oh… I, though I should arrive immediately so I did not waste any time…sorry for interrupting.” I lowered my head in disappointed; I felt like I had startled him and caused a big mess, literally. Knowing Akira, he would brush it off completely and tell me that it is perfectly fine, he really did not want me feeling any sort of sorrow around him. It was hard to believe that someone could care about you so much, especially the way he cared about me. I still found his unconditional love (if he was feeling that way as I had thought) hard to grasp, but I would half-heartedly smile back at him ”Right. It seems like we’re both on the same page.”

I would take a few steps closer to him, removing the distance between us. My lips would press against his as we kissed; it was quite informal but just something that I was growing accustomed to. After our small peck, I’d begin to speak to him a bit more cheerily. ”So, this place is pretty beat, huh?” Abruptly, I would peck him once more in attempts to throw him off guard. I was not why I kept doing it, but it was like a random impulse that kept drawing me closer to him. Scattered thoughts in my mind kept repeating his name over and over again, ’Akira!’

”Did you have any plans for us both today?” I was not sure if he had anything planned for us, but surely he did not expect for us to stay in this crazy scene for too long. It was just too chaotic now.

To my surprise, a man interrupted my meal and conversation with Jin. He had told me that Akira was staying at an Inn not too far outside of the village. I knew what that meant. We were both planning to see each other, but I did not know he was ready to see me again now. I felt terrible for leaving the conversation on such short notice, but I knew if I kept Akira waiting he would be terribly upset at me and I did not want that to happen. "Oii, I have to leave now but, I'll keep you to that spar one day. Later Jin!" I would pay for my ramen and flee the village quickly. I had to go searching for that inn and find him at once.

The dainty child did not expect for someone to base their order off of what she had just ordered. Either the man had good taste or he really wanted to impress her. Not concerning herself with such minor details, the brunette continued to patiently wait for her food. She knew that once it arrived, it would be steaming hot. Though sometimes the noodles were too hot for her tongue, she still thoroughly enjoyed the well-seasoned dish. When the ramen slithered down her throat, she could feel the warmth of the heat traveling directly into her stomach, giving her that “warm-fuzzy” feeling inside.

’So wassup?’ Double-taking, the confused kunoichi was not sure whom this man was addressing. It was an oddly obscure statement that she did not know how to respond properly. Quizzically expressing her concern, she continued to listen to the stranger speak. Who might I be…?’ It was such a peculiar question for someone to ask another person. In all likelihood, she could ask him the same exact question. Who is to say that she is not around more than he is. Shrugging off her analytical dilemma, the young lady would politely smile and softy address his question, answering it with as few words as possible.

”Oh, my name is Miku.” Nervously laughing, she would extend her right arm to hold the back of her head, cheerily smiling towards the man. ”And what is your name?” Formalities were only appropriate when you have to introduce yourself for the first time, so Miku waited for the man to introduce himself before beginning to digress into a deeper conversation with the man. ”I see you too like shrimp ramen. It is delicious; I’m excited to eat it again!” Placing her hands back in her lap, even her posture looked divine for just sitting at a ramen shop waiting for her order to be cooked.
