Peaceful lake

*turns around and looks at her*

*Turns over and faces away, crying*
I miss Gaara so much...

*sits next to her* Who? *blinks*

*Opens an eye carefully and quickly closes it*
Too bright!
I want my oldd Kazekage.

The Shukaku?

He's not the Shukaku...
It's just imprisoned in him against his will.
*Frowns*
He's a Jinchurriki.

Jinchuuriki?
Hato: *jumps on her head* Hiyas, miss' friend! *says in high-pitched voice*

*Sighs*
Gaara-Kun.....

Oh...well, go back to your Village then.
Hato: *narrows eyes* I said, "Hiyas!"

I'm in the Akatsuki. It's forbidden.
*Walks away*

And let me guess the stupid reason you got in. Someone abducted you or whatever, right? *disappears*

*listens quietly*So she's from the Snow Village too..... *rest head on trunk of tree and closes eyes*

*Appears on his shoulder*
Hn?

*sighs without opening eyes* Hello, Shiro...

Am I disturbing you?
*Stares at him with big brown wolf eyes*

*opens eyes and smiles softly at her* No...... *sits up and leans back against trunk*

Why do you look so glum, then, hn?
*Leaps to the ground, a little brown puppy*

*looks blankly at sky* I'm not. Just thinking.....

About what?
*Tilts head and ears perk curiously*

*looks at sky* Stuff........................ *shakes head and smiles at her* Sorry about that. How are you today?

Fine I guess. Still bored, but at least Pein-Sama isn't around today to yell at me.
How about you?

I'm doing well. I'm getting a little lonely though.....

Oh...You're not the only one.
Nobodie's around again.

*nods* Seriously..... *smiles* We have eachother though!

*Blinks*
I guess we do.

*blinks then blushes flinching back* Is that weird? I'm sorry!

Just the way you said it...
*Fur poofs out and is litterally turning bright red*

*closes eyes and back faces her* Oohhhh I'm such an idiot.
*pops up and tuffs him across the head* Yes you are.

No you're not. I was probably bound to say something stupid like that some time anyway.
*Climbs up to a tree branch his eye level and tickles his nose with my tail*

*growls eyes icy blue* Is that suppose to make me feel better!? *disappears*

*Looks confused, then disappointed*
Well, yes, actually....I can never keep my mouth shut.
*Walks off*

*reappears* Ichiro-san! Where are you? Hato, have you seen him?
Hato: *flaps wings* Nope. Nothing, miss.

*appears and smiles* Hello! We haven't met. *bows* Ichiro Menagawa.

*bows* Syn Ume. And you're from the Snow Village, correct? *blinks*

*nods* Yes. And you are too right?
