"Sorry if I startled you Yume." Akimoto set aside his sword and started to scratch his head. He sighed and laid on the ground so he could look at the sky. Clouds passed over, some looked like animals, some like buildings or maybe even Kunai. Akimoto simply stood up, and started to walk away from the clearing. He could see a body of water just a ways away through the trees and he wanted to see it closer up.
It was a beaten path, footprints and birch trees lined the short path. It was only about twenty feet or so away from the others but there was a small pond with estranged lily pads and a couple frogs hopping around. Akimoto stood before the water and looked deeply into it. He could see his reflection looking back at him. He grabbed a stick from nearby and poked at his reflection watching the ripples fold and spread across the water. He looked over his shoulder back at the others he could still see them quite clearly from here, but couldn't quite hear what they were saying.
He looked back at the water. He kept looking into his reflection until he noticed something on the crown of his bicep. It looked like a small lightning bolt protruding just under his sleeve. He pulled it up and gave it a closer look. What the fuck is this thing?

Itsuki beamed as Yume spoke positively about her time away from them and excitement to rejoin the squad. "Well that's awesome! Glad to hear you've been doing well and especially you're back, man!" he clapped his hand on her shoulder and then proceeded to pull one of the blunts he had preprepared the night before. "I rolled these up for myself last night, cause I didn't think I'd be having plans in the morning, so I normally just take a walk and smoke. But, since you guys are here I'm not gonna be a dick! You guys wanna join me, take a walk and smoke? What the fuck will we find, who knows!" Itsuki continued to light the thicker end of the blunt with the narrow end placed betwixt his lips. He inhaled to get the thing going, and then put the lighter back in his pocket, then he strolled down to the pond's bank near Akimoto. "We were thinking about taking a smoke and walking if you care to join," he looked down at Akimoto examining strange markings on his body. I figured I wasn't the only one, battlescars from that creepy dude for sure, though I already addressed the Hokage about this when we returned, he thoguht to himself. He decided not to bring it up to Akimoto and continued down the bank, examining the beauty of the flora and fauna. | Itsuki is the greatest in the world, woo-hoo!!! BRY of W&&R, ADOX, and PIXP |

Post by Takeo on Nov 17, 2020 18:21:17 GMT
"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." The chuunin was quite dumbfounded at the prospect of Yume training with the Hokage for such a lengthy amount of time. I wonder how she has changed. I can't imagine what it would have been like to train with Tenkei, ruminated Takeo as he twirled his hair. Takeo looked at Yume with an intensity in his eyes. "We should exchange what we have learned soon," requested the chuunin; Takeo continued on saying, "I would love to trade blows with you again, it has been too long." The chuunin could not help but smile due to being surprisingly excited. Seeing Yume again brought back a lot of memories, many of them soft and warm. Itsuki quickly suggested smoking and actually began smoking before Yume and Takeo. The chuunin gave Yume a cheeky grin and said, "please don't feel pressured to participate." Itsuki moved down towards the small pond where Akimoto was, and Takeo looked back at Yume. "Do you want to go over there with them," he questioned with a gentle hum in his voice.

Feeling the enthusiasm from her two old friends Yume smiled widely at them both, particularly noting Takeo's words. Stumbling over her worlds she replies "J-Just, me and you, training, that sounds great. I would love to learn some of your jutsu, you're such a strong ninja." She had a odd look in her eyes as if almost she wasn't there. She just smiled awkwardly at Takeo, barely hearing the rest of the group, and the rest of his words. Only thinking to herself, Just me and Takeo. Snapping back to reality, she sees Takeo pointing towards the two boys near the lake, asking her a question. Yeah sure, sorry I was a little lost there for a second. She says before following Takeo to the lake not knowing what awaits her because she was too busy thinking about training with Takeo while the boys talked about their smoking objectives.

Akimoto punched his reflection in the water. His muscles were tense and filled with fury as he pulled his fist from the bottom of the water. He breathed deeply as he stood up. He turned around and listened to Itsuki speak. "You caught me off guard..." He walked along the bank with Itsuki passing the blunt back and forth while they talked. "Look Itsuki... I didn't want to bring this up around Takeo and Yume but, I'm getting sick of this fucking village. I break my fucking back, get fucking weird markings on my body, almost fucking die and for what? So this place can be safe? I want to forge my own path." He ripped his headband off of his arm and looked at it in his gloved hand. He thought about what it would be like, how it would feel, to drag it along his sword, and deface the symbol.
Then he wrapped it back around his arm and sighed. "I've got too much going for me right now..."
Takeo and Yume caught up with Itsuki and Akimoto.
Akimoto passed the blunt to Takeo and took his place next to Yume so they wouldn't bother her with the smoke. She wasn't smoking after all.
"Uh hey Yume. The water looks nice right?" He guided her gaze to the still waters. "This is our home after all."

The chuunin was startled when Akimoto suddenly plunged his fist into the nearby pond, it made him jump just a bit as well. "Damn, too bad there's no drywall around here, huh?!" Itsuki chuckled and punched Akimoto in the shoulder as he continued to rant about Tenkaigakure, he was a big enough dude he could take it. "Yeah I get that. I don't really mind working as a shinobi, it's good money and good experience, though it's begun to feel a bit more like a job than the fun hobby it used to be. Mostly, though, I feel like on my own without any restrictions to speak off I'd truly thrive. I've got some progressive concepts that traditionalists in this village may find controversial, but, like I said, I won't be held back by stuff like that. I've got stuff I'm hiding from y'all too! It's just a surprise though, it'll blow your mind when you see it!" The Red Asura flashed in Itsuki's head and he grinned excitedly. As his friends congregated around him and they passed his pearl in between each other he couldn't help but let out a deep and gratifying sigh of relief. | Itsuki is the greatest in the world, woo-hoo!!!

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." When both Yume and Takeo caught up with Itsuki and Akimoto the chuunin was immediately handed his friend's immaculate creation. Akimoto commented on how beautiful the water was while Takeo took a large inhale. His nerves relaxed as he exhaled, and he handed Itsuki his creation back. The chuunin looked over at Akimoto and Yume then Itsuki; he had a wild grin on his face before he spoke. "How would any of you feel about getting ice cream. I have a real craving for something cold. Also one of you better not tell me to eat snow," announced Takeo with a tinge of excitement in his voice. He was unsure if his friend's would want ice cream, but he hoped there was a slight chance they would appease him. He tugged at the white bandages on his left hand that covered the strange mark on his hand. There was a large amount of sunlight reflecting off of the lake which caused Takeo to turn away from the lake slightly. His long dark hair shielded his face from the sunlight, and he looked over at his friends. Nine-Tailed Jinchūriki template by Sammy @ Adox 2.0

Takeo craved his cold, while all Yume could admire was his hair and face and how much he had grown since she had been gone. She was still the first to admit, Some ice cream would sound fantastic! Tenkaigakure was known for their ice cream parlors, the Hokage loves to give her people entertainment in the village. Since the village has accelerated so fast with their technology, these lavishes are possible. Yume was so excited for the ice cream she couldn't contain herself and looked at the boys, Race you there! she said before beginning to run in the direction of the village.

Trying to Stay Sane.
Akimoto chased after Yume. He liked behind around her for some reason. She wasn't like the boys. Akimoto's troubling thoughts about duty and choice melted away as he thought about the Ice cream he was about to eat. The village started to come into view and its glorious entryway too. "Lets slow down a bit Yume we're leaving the others behind." Akimoto stopped Yume's excited running by grabber her shoulder gently and turning to face the others who weren't far. "So what are we going for? Mochi, Soft Serve, Frozen Yogurt?" Akimoto had an excited smile on his face. Tenkaigaukre had it all, so long as you knew where to look. He scratched his chin and looked at the others. "Lets go to that one cafe... what was it called again Takeo? It was one of the first places we hung out together I think?"

Itsuki was pretty perplexed at the idea of ice cream in this weather, "you guys are fucking nuts... whatever, I'll just get some coffee somewhere nearby. As much as I'd love some dessert right now, or any time for that matter that's just too much; I'll catch frostbite for sure!" He exclaimed as he departed along with his teammates. He put his arms behind his head as Takeo hit his blunt and then passed it back to it's creator! The other two, Akimoto and Yume, had gone a bit ahead of the rival duo. Itsuki chuckled as he hit the roach and spoke to Takeo, "nice, we can finish this between us then!" As he finished his turn, he passed it to his friend once again. As he heard Akimoto question Takeo, though, Itsuki was entirely lost on the answer himself. Wow, I can't remember at all... haha! I could probably do for a little tolerance break... probably not though! he thought to himself. | Itsuki is the greatest in the world, woo-hoo!!! BRY of W&&R, ADOX, and PIXP |

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." Before he knew it both Akimoto and Yume were running towards Tenkaigakure with excitement. "Wait, I have to gather my things," partially called out Takeo as he trailed off when Akimoto and Yume got far away. Takeo looked over at Itsuki, who was still smoking, and said, "let me just get my stuff together and we can catch to them." The teen walked back over to the forest clearing and gathered some of his belongings. When he got together the bento box containers Itsuki attempted to pass the blunt to Takeo. The chuunin managed to free one hand allowing him to take two drags before passing it back to Itsuki. "I'm glad--" mumbled Takeo was Akimoto called out over his voice. Akimoto could be quite boisterous and excitable, but Takeo admired this due to how often he himself felt nothing. The chuunin was juggling many of his belongings claiming, "I've never been in that ornate cafe, if it's the one you're thinking of. I'm pretty sure that day I was on my way home from the library, and you spotted me on the street. If I remember correctly, despite never having been, it was called 'The Ebony Cauldron' . After completely catching up with his two other friends, Takeo's eyes briefly caught the attention of Yume's; he could feel the intensity of her gaze, something he had never noticed before. It's been so long, she must be quite jarred with how we look now, ruminated in thought as Takeo brushed off Yume's directed gaze. The group of four meandered through Tenkaigakure's front gate receiving the attention of two on-guard ninja. One of them called out saying, "lookie there, the illustrious chuunin squad back at it," in a sly tone. Takeo paid the deadbeat men no mind, and instead he had his sights set on taro mochi. Upon entering the village, the Jinchūriki found his way to a nearby trashcan and disposed of his three fairly empty bento boxes. Nine-Tailed Jinchūriki template by Sammy @ Adox 2.0

In all of Yume's excitement for the ice cream, and her dare to race she was stopped by Akimoto, she understood they were all too slow. She chuckled to herself, I wonder what Takeo wants. Just as the thought came over, Takeo made called out his opinion on the adventure. Entering the gate and hearing the usual babble about their quad squad. She snuck up on Takeo while they were walking toward their desired place for frozen treats, tugging on the sleeve of his arm she asks, So what flavor are you going to get, Takeo? She smiled at him, answering for herself before he can, I want something with strawberry! She hopped up and down on her toes as they were walking bursting with excitement. She had too much energy for just a simple ice cream adventure.

Akimoto walked along with his friends. "Coffee? Yeah, I agree Itsuki that's a way fucking better Idea." Akimoto dabbed up Itsuki and said "Ahuhu yuh." Akimoto started to trail Itsuki as the group approached the ebony cauldron. The inside was completely empty, yet extremely intricate and ornate. Akimoto approached the counter with Itsuki and the others. In a rather loud serious, and possibly rude voice said "Yeah can I get a Matcha Macchiato?" the barista nodded and asked Akimoto for the appropriate Ryo before starting to prepare the layered drink. Steamed milk, natural cane sugar syrup, carefully crushed espresso beans, and a shot of Matcha for flavor. Akimoto took a seat at one of the tables that would accommodate the whole group. Upon the surface of the table was a repeating design of a crane flying after a dragonfly. After a little one of the employees brought Akimoto a plate with a tall glass containing his hot beverage. "SLURP SLURP SLURP SLURP!!!" Akimoto drank almost all of it in one gulp then started sipping on it happily.

Itsuki had finally convinced someone to have a little sense, he was pleased to see Akimoto follow his lead and get something warm on a cold day, only made sense really. Keep it simple. He sneered over at the two weirdos who were deadset on frostbite and stuck his tongue out in jest. Proceeding, Itsuki approached the counter and overlooked the menu, contemplating which option he would decide upon. Eventually after much consideration the young man chose a beverage, "gimme a Frappuchino with a shot of Espresso! It's still early-ish, I could use a wake up..." he waited his drink and then spoke to the cashier again, "thanks!" He walked over to Akimoto's said and waited for the other's to order whatever they'd decide on, as he did he sipped the Frappuchino and he was not disappointed in the slightest! | Itsuki is the greatest in the world, woo-hoo!!!

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." Takeo gave Yume a deadpan stare after she asked what kind of ice cream he wanted. His voice was suddenly serious when he replied, "I want taro mochi, that is my desire." The reality of Akimoto and Itsuki deciding on coffee sunk into the young man's psyche. His walk slowed momentarily as he began to experience option paralysis. Of course he led us here, ruminated the chuunin while standing before the uptight Ebony Caldron. I've never actually been in this place, do they even have mochi ice cream, worried Takeo standing alone in thought. Akimoto was quick to order a drink, but Takeo simply stood there looking down at his feet. He looked around for a place to stand, so he walked over near Itsuki. His rival also took some time to decide what he wanted, but Takeo was still too nervous to ask if they had mochi ice cream. The chuunin slowly approached the counter after both Akimoto and Itsuki ordered; the barista was looking at him with hollowed eyes. Am I going to ruin this person's day, pondered Takeo in his mind. He could only manage to look past the person, but he was surprisingly quick to speak, "do you sell mochi ice cream here?" The person behind the counter gave him a grim smile and took a moment to respond. They tapped their nails while saying, "Ya know, Yin's? That mochi ice cream place down the street, yeah, we gots some of those." Takeo's eyes lit up and his cheeks blushed; the teen had regained his confidence. He reached into his kimono and grabbed a pouch; simultaneously, the chuunin said, "eight taro mochi please." He immediately provided more than enough ryo without expecting his change back. The barista opened a large cooled container beneath the service counter and retrieved Takeo's mochi ice cream. She placed them all in a small bowl and handed it to the teen. The chuunin subsequently grabbed the mochi ice cream and went to sit with his friends. He sat down in a chair adjacent to Akimoto; moreover, Takeo placed his bowl down on the table as well. He was quick to pick up one of the purple mochi ice cream and take a bite roughly half its size. The following bite was filled with bliss and satisfaction. Eating something cold, inside on a cold winter day, was a truly unique experience that filled a void deep within Takeo, it was simple. He looked up at both Akimoto and Itsuki before eating another mochi ice cream; "how are those drinks you both got," asked Takeo with a warm face. Nine-Tailed Jinchūriki template by Sammy @ Adox 2.0
