Pillows and Tea [P]

A sigh escaped her, the coolness of the air only emphasizing her breath as she continued her casual stride. The cool wet snow crunched beneath her feet; her footsteps leaving behind small burning holes from her using a bit of katon chakra to keep them warm. The snow would fizz and create a small vapor after each step before the frigid air took over once more. White hills formed along the buildings and made the place looked like an untouched ghost town. Everything was silent and the only signs of life tonight was the street lamps. Their light caused the winter wonderland to glow as though she were walking through a dark heaven. This land was still the Land of the Damned to her no matter how she seemed to try to change perspective. In this world she seemed to be the only one to exist aside from the dark sky above her head. The stars were to faint at the moment from all the lights in the small market and the overall city itself. She figured the only bustling place right now may have been the red light district but at the moment this was a time where everyone was indoors sleeping or partying; the air being to cold and devious. Nasamea knew she would be back soon.

After the cold walk back to her apartment she climbed the slippery steel stairs until she reached the second balcony; the railing causing her hands to nearly freeze when she grasped them to hold on. She didn't bother to focus chakra into them though; seeing as how she was almost back. 'Just a few more steps', she thought as she tried to imagine what Mitsu was doing right now. She had given him time to clean up if he wished and grab a bite of eat. Maybe he was asleep by now.

When Nasamea opened the door she quickly scurried in and closed it behind her; double bolting it and then sighing. She removed her black gloves and rubbing her hands together to draw in warmth for her fingers. She then removed Mitsu's cloak and hung it on the hooks attached to the back of the white door before running her fingers through her hair to feel its wetness. It wasn't snowing anymore but her hair had yet to dry from when it was. Afterwards she turned to look for Mitsu, the living room lying just in front of the door but on the opposite side of the apartment. This layout mimicked her parents but was smaller and lacked much definition.

The untouched kitchen lied exactly at her left, an island with three chairs separating it from the hallway the led to the living room. If one followed the wall to her right maybe ten feet it opened into the living room. Inside there was a rather long burgundy sofa that had been donated to her by her foster parents after she moved in; a tv sitting on a black table against the wall opposite of the sofa. Before the couch lied a coffee table that only sat before two thirds of the sofa; a place perfect to put feet on. There was a small bonsai, the remote, and a magazine about fashion (her mothers that she left) lying on the it.

A few feet behind the long sofa was a small bookshelf full of books and a large green plant; a closet door beside these two items. Windows marked the wall to the right of sofa that would be just in front of Nasa; white curtains closing off the outside world at the moment.

At the end of the wall where the hall met the living room, one could turn straight left and walk past the kitchen into another hallway. This led to two rooms with adjacent doors. On the left was the door leading to the bathroom with a small sink, a toilet, and a tub/shower with a pulled back curtain. A towel rack lied above the toilet, high enough for a tall persons head to easily clear it without getting hit but still within reach to grab the towels. On the right, opposite the bathroom, was Nasamea's bedroom. Inside she had a twin bed, a dresser, a closet, and a night stand with her digital clock.

Her entire apartment was pretty basic but not to shabby; all the walls being creme with white carpet to create a relaxed setting. It was perfect for her and that's all that mattered to her. Any later additions could be added later but right now this was her home and she didn't plan on changing anything about it.

Mitsu had entered the apartment awhile ago, having absolutely no trouble with the key. The place looked nice, and it was warm inside, a relief from the cold weather. It was still snowing when Mitsu entered the apartment and he brushed off the snowflakes from his hair and watched them fall onto the floor and immediately melt after touching it. He wiped his feet, being sure he was thorough and took off his shoes and hung the cloak on the coat rack next to the door. He walked around the apartment and located all of the rooms. He looked at what was in the fridge and that was about all the snooping around he would do, besides at what was lying around. He found that there was a washer and dryer in the bathroom, and so he stripped down after turning on the water so it could warm up and he used his hand to test the water temperature before stepping inside. The bathroom had a small candle inside giving off a lavender scent, nice and relaxing and the perfect scent for a bathroom. The shower head released the water with just enough pressure, not too weak yet not hard enough so that is stung after a prolonged exposure.

He mainly took a shower to get the cold feeling out of his body. On his way to Nasa's apartment, he accidentally stepped into a hole which was filled with icy water. It drenched his pants, although water resistant. They were only water resistant from the outside however, and the water was absorbed by the material on the inside, making the trek there a bit dreadful with the cold weather. The steam and lavender scent entered his nose and cleared up what clogged sinuses he had, which rarely even happened, even in the winter weather. He had tossed his pants in the dryer to get them well, dry of course. He tossed in his other clothes for the hell of it, it would make them a bit clean and would be toasty warm when he put them back on. Because who doesn't love putting on toasty warm clothes from the dryer?

Mitsu put on his warm clothes and walked into the kitchen again,smelling cinnamon from yet another candle while looking through the fridge a it more thoroughly this time. He decided he wasn't hungry, and he left the fridge on a bit too long and it sucked out the heat from his shirt and made him kind of sad. He looked around at the features of the house yet again. This was a nice place to live. A bit plain, but that just made the place relaxing, which is what a home is supposed to do, right? He made his way into the living room and took in a deep whiff of the sweet smell known as vanilla. He looked at the couch for some reason, taking time to study it probably, before sitting down. He didn't think she would mind if he put his feet up on the coffee table in front of him. He peeked at the magazine, but wasn't interested in fashion. He thought it was a bit odd of Nasa to be into something like that, but then again, she was a female. They always seemed to like that kind of stuff.

He flipped on the TV and propped his feet on the table, taking in another whiff of the vanilla scent that filled the room. He wondered how the scents from all the different rooms didn't mix together, but it all seemed to flow with itself nicely. He heard the door open and then be bolted on both locks before hearing some movement. Nasa was finally back. Mitsu sat there casually and waited for her to find him, it wouldn't be too long before she heard the sounds of the TV shooting out into the other rooms. He was right and after about two minutes she walked in, finding him.

She had followed the creme colored wall on her right and into her living room; spotting Mitsu immediately. She had heard the TV from when she first entered which gave him away. She paid no attention to the pixelated black box though, her eyes only setting on Mitsu as he relaxed on her couch. At last the two of them could rest in peace without having to worry about anyone slitting their throats in the middle of the night or their bodies being devoured by wild beasts; a pleasant thing indeed. She smiled faintly at him, not caring that his feet were propped on her table, as she appeared rather tired yet at ease. Her muscles were no longer tense and she seemed ready to go to sleep soon. Home sweet home with a guest. She hated being alone despite wishing to get out of her parents house so much. It made her uneasy at night and groggy in the morning from sleep issues. Maybe now she would get some decent shut eye despite being so tired.

"Well, I'm back" she said with a sigh, "and it appears you are enjoying yourself."

She said these words with kindness, something a bit rare for her to do but a treat to some when she had. She crossed the room over to him and reached into her back pants pocket, pulling out a wallet before fumbling with it. It was black leather and created from fire and water proof material to make it through at least a C rank fire jutsu. Obviously something of good condition. Nasamea pulled out his cash reward and offered it to him to take before she noticed his wet hair, catching a faint smell of lavender. She caught on fast.

"Appears you have used my shower as well," she said with surprise before chuckling a bit, "no problem, I did say for you to make yourself at home. I think I am going to catch one myself while I prepare us something hot. Hot tea or hot chocolate? I can make both but I recommend the tea."

She turned away as she was saying this and began to walk out of the room towards the kitchen. She would stop when she heard what he requested, his choices including water as well, before she would exit and set up the coffee maker. Who says you had to make coffee with it? She had used it countless times to make tea, one of her favorite things to drink aside from water.

Once in the kitchen she picked up the container for the coffee maker and placed it under the sink, her finger holding up the lid as she filled it up. Once she was done she then dumped the said water into the maker, put the container back, and turned it on. Now she could leave as it heated up the water. She took out two glasses as well and set them aside the machine, ready to be poured. She would get back to this later, her mind preoccupied by the need to shower.

Nasa walked past the island and into the walkway between the kitchen, living room, and hallway leading to the bathroom and bedroom. She flashed Mitsu a smile as she passed, still pleased that someone was here to keep her from feeling lonely, before making her way down the hall. Her first goal was to retrieve clothes to wear. Seeing as how Mitsu was here she would toss away the night gown for the night and wear a t-shirt and shorts. Like most night shirts, this one would form to her curves whether she wished for it to or not. She figured she would wear a sports bra beneath this as well, not wishing to seem indecent in front of a guest no matter who it was. After retrieving what she needed from her bedroom she looked around to check for snooping before placing her ninja gear on top of the dresser. Seems he had not been in here, or at least from what she saw.

When Nasa entered the bathroom she checked for any disturbance besides the water residue left in the tub and on the curtain. Everything seemed fine though and his towel was properly disposed of in a small used towel basket nearby. Nasa liked to keep things clean; her towels all pure white with the scent of sweet smelling mountain rain from a dryer sheet. She locked the door, quickly undressed, and then prepped the water for her shower before climbing in. The water stung her a bit from being cold but she easily adjusted. Soon enough she would smell like lavender like the candle placed nearby. Her hair would take on the faint smell of what seemed like berries but not potent or gross when overdone. She showered fast, feeling a bit awkward for doing so, and soon was finished.

When she exited she dried off and dressed quickly into her green t-shirt and black shorts. The shorts seemed a bit short and hugged her butt while the shirt wrapped itself around her curves, making her protest a bit in her head for it was all she had. She would get over it though. With her wet hair brushed back behind her head and clothes from their travel in hand she exited the bathroom and walked over to the washer and dryer; throwing her clothes in a basket before making her way finally back to the kitchen.

She quickly crossed by the living room again, giving Mitsu only a glimpse of her, and was soon in the kitchen. It was there she would prep their beverages, hers being tea, and re-enter the living room. Finally, she was done.

Nasamea walked over to the couch and handed him his drink before sitting down easily beside him. She sighed instantly from being tired, placing her head against the couch cushions with her eyes closed. She was tired, no doubt about that. After a few seconds or so though she pulled her legs up and crossed them before grabbing a nearby blanket and putting them over top. She sat comfortably beside him now, the warm cup of sleepy time tea in hand that she sipped once more.

"Finally, we get to relax" she said calmly, her eyes glancing up at the TV as she broke any form of silence. She held a thoughtful look now, her smiles mostly faded as she relaxed beside him. Had he made him tea or hot chocolate and after he drank it she would ask whether he liked it but if he hadn't then all well.

Nasa walked in and spoke for a bit, offering something warm to drink before going to do so. When she was at the door way before leaving Mitsu had decided what he wanted. "I would like a hot chocolate, with a tad bit extra cocoa mix if you'd please." She left the room and continued to look back at the TV. It was on some stupid commercial right now, but the show was about swordplay mainly, but other weapon fighting styles as well. Mitsu had never seen a program like that, although he himself never watched much TV. He kept himself from getting too involved from it so he could keep with his fitness and training. He did try to remember some of the things he was seeing, but he knew it would be some time before he was ready to practice kenjutsu of any kind. He watched the show and soon grew bored of it after he brought himself to the fact that trying to learn this would be of no use to him at the moment.

It was by about this time that Nasa had walked by, giving a pleasant smile before returning to what she was doing. Before she left Mitsu was able to smile back before going into thought. He was still surprised that she invited him over. He thought back to when they first met. It was about a year ago or so, a little more or less by a month or two. She always gave the cold shoulder for while, but Mitsu pressed on, being kind and respectful as always. Soon she started to take a liking to him a bit, being just a bit more relaxed around him, at least when it was just them. As soon as anyone else was around, it was back to the Nasa he first knew. As they went on, Mitsu started to like her more and more, she was the person who was actually willing to spend time with him. She soon became a friend to him, but to her, she needed more time to be able to trust him. He had a feeling she would never fully trust him, mainly because of what Shi had done to her, but even then she still wouldn't trust him. When he saw her in the forest that night that Shi attacked them, Mitsu was completely unsure of everything. He didn't know if it was real or not, but he just had the feeling that he had to trust her. He just had to understand.

They agreed to meet up together the next day so she could explain everything, which was what happened. It was there that Nasa told him about all there was that she knew about herself and her clan. Mitsu also explained a bit about his and his plans, and even shared his story with her. He was a bit more trusting than she was, but he knew she wouldn't let people know, as she didn't have anyone to really tell. They did a few missions together and then finally went on the mission they had just finished. The ferry had returned to him, down below the deck in the secluded room with all those candles. He was concerned for her, but he had no idea why. He never worried like this for anyone before, not even his own parents. He had to make a choice then and there: To love her, or not to love her. He could tell that he was feeling love, but knew he was far too early to even mention it to her. That was why he hesitated before she walked off. He just couldn't tell her. But he knew he had a chance, she still talked to him and they got along just as fine. He knew he had gotten closer when she offered the sharing of body heat, where she ended up cuddling him a bit. Mitsu let her cuddle him because he always had this feeling of wanting someone to hold, to be held, just for someone to be there. He even gave blood to her, which was definitely something. And now, he was sitting in her apartment with the TV off, just thinking about all of this. He thought about the future with her as well. She invited him into her apartment, even letting him stay there alone. Knowing Nasa, that was basically a big move of trust. He was happy she trusted him so much. But he always had that feeling of guilt for not being able to trust her back, or repay her for it all. He would make it up to her somehow. He didn't know when he would tell her his feelings, but he knew he would when the time was right.

He calmed his thoughts down a bit, still thinking about her, but now just thinking about how beautiful she started to become. Those thoughts had entered his mind when she passed through in the change of clothes she had on. She soon returned with the tea and hot chocolate though, the TV still off. He had watched her walk over as well, and caught himself staring, but not before Nasa would notice. Mitsu took the cup he was handed and blew across the top to cool it before taking a sip. It was the perfect temperature, not to cold, but not hot enough to burn the damn tongue like pretty much every cup of tea or cocoa you buy somewhere. And it had just the right amount of chocolate too. "I agree, that was a long week...Mmm, this is good stuff, thank you.

"Should have tried my tea," she said plainly before sipping from her cup, "it's orgasmic."

A smirk soon crossed her face as she let out a light chuckle; obviously joking around. She held the white china cup with both hands, her elbows resting firmly on her knees as she sat in the silence of the room. Her eyes had been closed up until now for she was not only trying to rest but get a feel of the aura of the room. At the moment her instincts told her there was something missing and thus she turned her watchful eyes to Mitsu. She had hit the nail on the head with this one as she gazed at him, now finally noticing that the TV was off. She enjoyed the silence because she knew they both needed it. Their minds needed to rest as well and the television discouraged this factor greatly. But there seemed to be something more to this than meets the eye.

When she got a good look at him she then felt the sense of easement through lack of focus. In other words he seemed to be zoned out and lost in deep thought. Her first though was that he was just highly tired and that maybe she should help set up the couch then leave him be. Her second thought though was that something was bothering him. Then again this was a thought coming from her worried self; one side she wished would go away sometimes but was also good to have on missions that involved dangerous tasks. Was there something though or just him being sleepy? He had been very thoughtful for quite some time now, her mind soon trailing back to when she first head towards the shower. What had him so mind boggled?

'Are you okay?" she finally asked, her eyes searching for his in a deep gaze. He should know that the moment he casted a glance into her hues she would do her best to seize his curiosity and lock her eyes into his. The reason being she enjoyed searching out emotions through unguarded eyes. They were the gateways to one's soul on her opinion. Eyes held deep meaning too and she found them interesting; especially when they were an appealing color.

"You seem a bit off, is it just from being tired?"

So far she had already drank roughly a third or so of her tea. Once she was finished with it though the chances of her falling asleep were rather high; had she not grown to tired before hand.

Mitsu was still thinking, still surprisingly a bit oblivious of Nasa's presence. He was thinking about her and how he noticed her looks more and more often as they grew closer as friends. They had make eyes contact more, she had even let her walls down at least once. He knew what he saw, and he saw a lot of things. At the time on the boat, he saw a lot of sorrow. He wanted to be able to look in her eyes like that one day, but see all of that sadness replaced by joy and content. He wanted her to feel truly happy, for at least once in her life. The TV just sat there as blank as the expression on his face, since he was so lost in thought. Why couldn't he get her out of his head? It wasn't like he was trying to push her out though. A faint smile was on his face as he pictured her in his head. He took another tip of his hot chocolate. The hot air blew out of his nostrils as he breathed out the warm chocolate concoction flowing down his throat, slowly warming him entire person. He didn't hear Nasa's comment about her 'orgasmic' tea that she makes. He was far too deep into thought. He kept thinking for awhile, until Nasa finally spoke up again.

Mitsu blinked and looked up at Nasa. "Oh, sorry. I was just thinking at all." Mitsu took another sip and it warmed him up a bit more. He was brought back a bit more when he took a deep breath through his nose and smelled the sweet vanilla that engulfed the room. He loved the smell of vanilla. The taste, he soon could grow tired of it, but the smell was always pleasant.

He looked up at Nasa and caught a look of her eyes, but not before looking over her from her feet then upward over the rest of her. Catching the glimpse of her amber hues was like hitting a trap and his eyes drew back to them and he was staring. She could see into his true feelings, but she wouldn't see much. He was far too deep into thought to have much emotion at the time. She could have seen a bit of tiredness, from the mission, maybe even a tad bit of concern, but mostly she may have caught a longing for something she would be unable to tell what it was for. She might have even seen a short glimpse of the small little Mitsu inside that was lonely and just wanted a hug, but it was unlikely and would leave her slightly confused as to what she had seen. Mitsu didn't know what he was feeling, his gaze peering as deep as he could into those hues of hers. "I could get lost in those eyes..." Mitsu spoke softly. He had been thinking to himself, but he accidentally spoke out loud for Nasa to hear. Nasa spoke again and it threw him back to the present and out of deep thought. He didn't realize he had spoke his thought still and scratched the back of his head a bit and shook it to bring himself out of it completely. "Well, I guess I am a bit tired, but like I said, I was just thinking is all. I'm all here now, so what do you wanna do?" Mitsu had started wondering if he had actually spoke aloud his thought or not now. He had felt his lips move, but it could have been his imagination. He pushed it from his mind and began focusing on her again.

She endured a long pause of concern and worry before their eyes met. It was then she saw through him, her eyes searching deep but only catching sight of a distance. He was still lost within the confinement of his mind and from what she could see he had sort of a shield up. She didn't think he was blocking her out; no this didn't seem to be the case at all. He was just so far gone. She thought she caught the hint of loneliness though, causing her to blink. Before this she had seemed worried but after the blink her barrier was up and all emotion he could see had been closed off. She was once again guarding herself. The obvious sign of this though was her confusion. If he didn't tell her what he had on his mind she wouldn't show him for fear he had a hidden guise. This was mostly thanks to Shi though having wronged her as much as he had despite the love he once seemed to possess. She just didn't want to go through that again.

Mitsu looked her up and down after she blinked, causing her to turn her head away some as though pretending to listen out the front door. She tuned in for a second before her focus returned to Mitsu, their eyes locking. She saw pure emotion then that nearly made her gasp, her eyes growing wide with a look of surprise before he spoke, "I could get lost in those eyes..."

A slight redness crossed her face for a split second but she returned to her paleness from being surprised. Needless to say, he caught her off guard. Maybe she shouldn't have looked away to being with. What was up with him though? The fact he seemed to be hiding somethig made her a bit uneasy and soon instincts made her restless, she needed to stand. At least now Mitsu was back to her though and in full focus. But those emotions, what was that all about?

"Sorry to startle you...ummm..." she said before uneasily getting up. She silently crossed the room with a bit of awkwardness before crouching down before a rack of DVDs. One thing she loved about her parents, they gave away their DVD player and some of her favorite movies. She peered through them a bit, moving her finger involuntarily from one to the next as she held the glass of tea in her other hand. Her eyes zoned out and soon the videos did as well before suddenly she snapped back into focus. By then she noticed she pulled out a few movies.

She picked them up with her free hand then before she walked back over to him with down casted eyes set on the 5 DVDs within her grasp. It were almost as though she was trrying to walk cautiously so she wouldn't drop the fragile items; despite them not being as breakable as she seemed to perceive.

"Hey, uh, since we're obviously not that tired.. I have some movies we could watch. These are just a few choices," she offered, looking at them to see what exactly she chose. It appeared she had picked five: Legion, I am Legened, Lion King, Cars, and The Chronicles of Narnia. She then positioned them in one hand for Mitsu to see, her eyes not leaving them once but a mark of embarrassment crossing her face due to what movies she accidentally chose, "we don't have to watch any of these or DVDs in general but er..." She paused a moment and held them closer, her eyes making partial contact, "just an idea."

'LION KING, CARS, AND CHRONICLES OF NARNIA!?!?' was the only thing she screamed in her mind but then she returned back to time.

She peered into his hues for second, obviously appearing rather awkward before she let out a sigh and relaxed. She didn't want this to be awkward and figured whatever he had to say he would tell her. Otherwise they would sleep, wake up, and continue their days as ninja again. But.. did she want him to leave? The thought brushed a mark of sorrow into her hues for a moment again and soon she would appear much like that lost child he had with thoughts blocking most of it out. It were as though they were dancing circles around one another right now; both not clearly stating what the other probably wished to hear. It was probably to soon though and to be honest her dark mark still remained.

In the depths of her mind rested the image of Shi. It was the reason she first zoned out when grabbing the movies, the reason she felt uneasy at night, the reason she felt awkward now. She missed him but at the same time felt he was more of a hindrance than anything. All they had, just why? To many unanswered questions lurked and once again they were rising; her hand latched onto the DVDs and her mind obviously not in this realm.

Had Mitsu grabbed for the DVDs she would grip them at first before she would return and grow a look of embarrassment, apologizing with an uneasy laugh and hopefully curing the mood. Had he not though she would eventually zone back in one way or another; probably at the mentioning of one of the DVDs and such. For now though she was lost.

Mitsu noticed her face and grew a bit red himself. So he HAD said that out loud! It was very embarrassing for him to realize this. She had a strange expression on her face and she awkwardly walked over a rack filled with DVDs and picked some out. Mitsu stared at her while taking another sip of his hot chocolate and kind of sized her up, looking at everything she was wearing. Her clothes were clinging close to her frame, making all of her curves very visible. It was kind of like his outfit, but his outlined his muscles with much more definition, designed that way. She looked...nice. It was a bit embarrassing for her, at least Mitsu thought that. But he was staring at her with a slight smirk. When she finally walked back over he could feel that something was lurking over her mind. She named the five movies, but he was more concerned with the way she was feeling. His thoughts were still looming over his head a bit.

Part of him was just screaming 'TELL HER HOW YOU FEEL!". Another half was just saying 'NO! ITS TOO EARLY!'. He had to get something off of his chest though and maybe it might ease Nasa as well. He thought about it and realized that he did seem to give her the impression that he was hiding something. Since Nasa was on his right, he raised his right arm and moved it behind Nasa, resting his hand somewhat firmly on her left shoulder. He did it to seem kind of protective and re-assuring for her. "Cars seems like a good movie. Don't put it in just yet though, I want to tell you something. What I was thinking about...I was thinking about well, us. How we first met and what it was all like. How we started hanging out more, doing missions without the team and whatnot. Then that time in the forest, and the time in the teashop the day after. And then finally the mission, on the boat...the tent, then me giving my blood, and now here. I'm glad we are friends Nasa. It always feels nice to be around you. Also umm, you look very...nice tonight. Shall we watch the movie? I'll go ahead and put it in for us."

He knew she would need some space to think for a short bit, so he stood up after taking the movies and put the others back. He opened the case and pressed the power button on the DVD player. He then grabbed the remote and turned on the TV and changed it to the correct input and opened the DVD drive, placing the DVD inside and then closing it. Once it shut, he walked back over to the couch and sat back down, daring to move his hand back over to her shoulder. He would move it if he felt that it made her uncomfortable. After sitting down he handed Nasa the remote and picked up his cup from the coffee table and propped his feet back up on the table and started to relax. He had gotten what he wanted off his chest, at least for now. He was finally at ease and was now himself yet again.

She had ended up sitting in order to feel less awkward from standing but Mitsu's next move quickly drowned her in the pool of uncertainty. His arm was placed around her, casting red heat to her cheeks and making her feel even more uneasy. It was then the damn broke and the flood erupted within her mind: Shi or Mitsu? She tried to fight it back as much as she could while tuning into his voice and listening to him. Was inviting him here such a good idea after all? He was like a virus in her mind. She couldn't get rid of him. Yet she didn't want to get rid of him. Was the loneliness she felt within these walls simply to much for her? Maybe she needed to move back in with her parents to clear her head. But what if doing that put them in danger of Shi? The truth was revealed, the reason she moved out. She loved Shi, or at least she did, and she longed for him back. Yet he seemed like that one boyfriend who drank, smoked, and did a lot of other bad things in despite of dating a girl he apparently cared for. Was it the same?

After Mitsu was done and got up, she took a deep silent sigh. The red cleared from her face and she tried to find a means of relaxing. Her way of doing so was taking the white cup, placing it up to her mouth, and taking a long swig that made her face warm again but not for the same reasons. She enjoyed the sensation the tea brought her, the warmth in the pit of her stomach, and felt it easier to calm her nerves. Maybe she was overreacting a bit to much.

When the movie was put in, Mitsu then returned to her side on the couch. She then got up real fast, not out of awkwardness, but because of something else. She walked past the front of him and over to the light switch that she soon flicked; kicking the lights off. Once she was done she returned to the couch where she took her place at his left. With one hand she held the cup and with the other she began to pull at the blanket. However, something soon stopped her. Mitsu daringly placed his arm back around her shoulders, bringing her some chills which caused her to shudder. She wasn't sure what to do and quickly closed her eyes before reopening them and gazing at him. Her amber hues soon met his eyes once more; the light of the previews casting a stream of light across them and making them appear to dance. What was off though was there was a faint smile on her face despite her eyes seeming so distant and unreadable. She was obviously keeping emotions to herself again.

After a split second of her warm smile she then gave in and decided why the hell not; letting him keep his arm around her. She backed up a bit to allow him to fully have his arm without being uncomfortable while she pulled at the blanket. Her legs lie bent on the sofa as the side of her body rest up against him; her head soon lying somewhat against his shoulder. He then handed her the remote that she held onto as he got comfortable. Once he had she then placed the remote on his thigh while she tried to relax, her hands still gripping at the cup; her eyes staring deeply into the amber colored drink. It nearly matched her own eyes but this coloration escaped her thoughts as other emotions began to sink in.

A part of her felt a bit guilty like this, fer surprising bit of devotion left to Shi still inside. She didn't want to let him go despite what Mitsu had said and she had to admit, she felt like she was in denial. It was obvious Shi no longer wanted her, something she didn't understand, but the thought that she was being tested on disturbed her more. She needed to see him again, needed to know, but she couldn't. Was she just settling with Mitsu at the moment to get past her phase as well? A means to distract herself from Shi? Or did she really have feelings for him? She wasn't sure, but as her thoughts drew on and the movie rolled she began to sense a feeling of her tea cup slipping and her eyes closed. Quickly realizing this, she snapped back into focus and grasped her cup. Had Mitsu said anything, she might not have noticed but maybe he had a chance of grasping her attention now; although she might beat him to it.

After what seemed like a long drawn out silence, Nasamea opened her eyes to gaze at the amber within her glass. Had he seen her face he would see the same sort of distant sorrow he sighted when they were in the ferry; but the darkness mostly consumed this said emotion. Besides, her head was down casted and her face hidden from his gaze.

"Mitsu.." she began, breaking the silence before twirling the tea in her glass, "thank you..."

She didn't know what else to say but the fact had spoken at all meant quite a lot more than he thought. Afterwards, she stopped spinning the glass and took a sip. Finishing the rest of the cup of tea but still holding the white cup within her grasp.

Nasa had stood up right after Mitsu had sat down, but it was to turn off the lights. The glow from the vanilla scented candle and the light emitting from the TV being the only light in the room. Once Nasa had sat down, Mitsu had put his arm on her after handing her the remote. She felt uncomfortable, and Mitsu could feel it, almost ready to pull his arm away when she sort of leaned into him and accepted it. Mitsu smiled, he liked this. There was no doubt in his mind that he liked her, whether or not she knew that, was a total mystery to him. He knew if all things went well, she would find out if she didn't know already. He had hoped he didn't know his feelings for her, at least not yet. But he also didn't want her to feel like he didn't have any feelings period. At this point, they were close friends, possibly a bit more. Mitsu wanted to get his mind off of worrying and decided to relax and enjoy the night home with his friend.

The movie played on as Mitsu was long done with his beverage, the hot liquid warming his body. It liquefied the mucus that had built up in his lungs, which would then slowly ooze down his esophagus and unto his stomach. This would save him from an annoying cough that would have developed, and bothered him the whole cold season. Little did Mitsu or Nasa know, outside the window, if the curtains were actually pulled back, snowflakes could be seen slowly falling down from the heavens gently and with grace. Those that hit the streets would meet their fate and soon come to an end, being immediately melted had they been unfortunate enough to fall into the small puddle that was on the side of the street. It was late, so there were virtually no people outside, meaning there was virtually no noise. This would spell out a very nice evening for the two of them, although the would both fall asleep soon most likely.

Going back to the small date scene, Nasa had decided to break the silence by speaking. Her tones had given Mitsu the impression that she was in a sort of despair or sorrow, causing his face to give off a concerned look. She had thanked him. For what she was thanking Mitsu for, he had absolutely no idea. He did smile though, because it was almost in the same manner he had spoken to her when on the ferry. Could Nasa have feelings for Mitsu as well? Or was this an attempt of Nasa trying to reach out for comfort? Mitsu wanted to believe the first possibility, and so he did. "I don't know exactly what it is you are thanking me for, but to actually hear you say it means a lot. Thanks for inviting me over here Nasa, I'm really enjoying this time we are spending together. But if there is something bothering you, please, tell me what it is. I'm just not happy if a friend of mine isn't happy." A tone of caring and warmth could be detected in his voice. He wanted to help, if he could. He didn't really care about the movie right now, he was more worried about her than something he has seen numerous times.

She wasn't sure what to say afterwards. The issue was that there had been a lot on her mind. But these were thoughts and feelings she didn't wish to share and so she kept them quiet. However, to ease the small building tension in the room due to feeling his concern she simply let out a weak, "it's nothing, maybe i'll tell you tomorrow."

The realization of her voice made her note how tired she really was. She nuzzled her head in Mitsu a little, treating him like a warm pillow as she relaxed and closer her eyes. Right now she was in that mood where she didn't care if she had been snuggled up to a grizzly bear; she was tired. The blanket covering her lower half on down kept her warm aside from them trading body heat and she slowly felt herself slipping away. She fought it again once she felt the cup starting to slip. She had this subconscious thought that if that cup fell it would hurt Mitsu even though the truth was he was barely feel a thing. She had a lot of odd random thoughts when she was tired; especially when on the verge between both the real world and the sleeping realm. Some previous ones being that she thought she heard a door slam or thought that if she slept she would knock over a nearby glass on her table. How she would do that her brain seemed to miss but normally afterwards she would be out like a light. Which was precisely what happened.

There was a thought that crossed her mind involving the cup slipping from her grasp and falling to the floor. This cup would then shatter into a million pieces. To add on to the randomness though, when it shattered it would sound as though a loud clap of thunder would sound off and wake the neighbors. It made no logical sense whatsoever but the dream realm bit down around her and dragged her asunder, causing her own personal darkness to sweep over and reality to fade out. The sounds of "life is a highway" and Mitsu's breathing in her ears were drown out by this silent unexplainable darkness as her mind cleared itself of all thoughts. She would enter REM rather quickly tonight and would sink into a deeper sleep afterwards; the energy spent on he mission truly beating her down with a sack of bricks. She didn't realize how tired she was and wouldn't until the morning but for now she didn't care.

As her body rested and eyes were closed, her breaths came out in even patterns while she grew still. The cup she so drastically tried to keep a grip on for fear of thunder soon slipped from her hand. Rather than crashing to the floor though it lightly fell onto Mitsu's leg before sliding down to the couch. There it rested against his outer thigh, waiting to be moved. Lucky for the two of them she had drank all her tea so there wouldn't be the worry of any spill. Would Mitsu notice this though? And what would he do considering she had fallen asleep? Nasamea wouldn't be aware of anything until morning; placing a lot of trust in him. Maybe even more than what she had given Shi considering he was inside her own house. Either way, sleeping Nasamea would be harder to wake then a hibernating bear at the moment. At least she wouldn't be so enraged had that happened though.

Mitsu noticed Nasa had started to fall asleep, so he turned his attention to the movie once again. He finished off his cup of hot chocolate, and then set it quietly on the table. He enjoyed the feeling of her on his side, snuggling into him. It was a comforting feeling he had, and from another point of view, it would appear cute. Some might have even mistaken them for a young couple. The movie kept going on and on, seemingly zooming past Mitsu as he lost track of time around him. Before he knew it, the protagonist, Lightning McQueen, had helped the townsfolk, right before the media arrived to take him back to the race that was approaching. Again, Mitsu took another deep breath through his nose and enjoyed the sweet smell of vanilla.

His body was relaxed and his attention to the movie was uninterrupted until he felt something lightly fall on his thigh, then slide over to the couch, resting on his thigh still. Before he looked to confirm what it was, it felt like a cup, and upon looking, he was right. Mitsu picked up the cup and placed it on the coffee table in the same manner. He also put his legs down off of the table too. He looked over at Nasa and she was still and her breathing was steady. With her eyes closed and her body unmoving, she was obviously asleep. Mitsu chuckled on the inside and smirked. The movie was near then end, so he decided to relax. With Nasa asleep, he decided to put a short timer on everything, so that when the movie was over, everything would shut off. He leaned his head back and rested it upon the back of the sofa and closed his eyes and listened to the movie, letting the smell of vanilla sweep through his nostrils with every breath.

His mind began to wanter, the feeling of Nasa's body heat giving him more comfort. He never had someone fall asleep on him before. It was a nice feeling, especially since it was Nasa. Thoughts were becoming more vague as he fell closer and closer to sleep. The movie ended and everything shut off and so the silence of the night was all Mitsu was hearing, well, you get the meaning. Mitsu's eyes would open for a few minutes, for some reason he was trying to stay awake. He didn't know why, he just did. He had heard the door get bolted shut twice when Nasa came in, so there was no real danger. Each time he opened his eyes they felt heavier and heavier. Each time his eyes shut it took longer and longer to open them again. Even blinking seemed to take a few seconds. Mitsu was dreary now, and would fall asleep soon. His arm still resting on Nasa's shoulder, he was tempted to la his hand to her waist, but decided against it and finally fell asleep.

Her dreams were filled with various colors and images but none of them could be made out. She thought she saw a flash of forest around her as a ninja appeared before her. Was she following someone? The person seemed to have the body structure of a male but it was hard to tell who it was. Before she managed to get a glimpse of hair color and clothes the image faded until she sank into a realm of darkness. She thought she had heard music playing in her mind and cheering crowds; giving her the mental picture of being in the market. There were vibrant colors everywhere and for some reason people were cheering. She was a small girl, her purple hair as vibrant as the yellow bananas at the fruit stand. Terrible color comparison but it made the emphasis noteworthy. She pushed past people's legs with her little strength and soon found herself in front of the crowd. Her amber eyes stared up at what looked like a parade and it was then she saw a casket. A casket? At a parade? As confusion surrounded her she then peered up at the nearest adult to ask what was going on but what she saw sent her nerves flaring into a jolt. Her body in the physical world twitched slightly but it wasn't enough to wake up Mitsu.

The adult's face was a skeleton and as she backed away she bumped into another adult. Turning to this one for guidance it was seen that there was another skeleton, this wearer obviously a woman. Nasamea gasped and backed away before tumbling into the parade's route. The crowd continued to watch as though she wasn't there while her eyes stared into the faces of many skeletons. She curled up into a ball then and held her hands over her eyes; still sitting in the route of the parade. Before anything could harm her though the colors, the noise, everything had faded. She shuddered before she slowly twitched her fingers from her eyes, their gaze settling as she peered out it nothingness. Darkness, all that surrounded her was darkness. She opened her eyes all the way as she let her hands slide off and land next to her as support. She was still sitting down apparently but this time she was older, wait, much older. She was 18, three years older than who she was now.

As her pants ceased and she began to calm down she pushed herself to her feet and peered around. Nobody was there and all was silent.

"Hello?"

"Hello"

The voice echoed almost immediately after she spoke and from what she could tell it came from behind. When she whirled around though, nobody was there. 'What?' She was confused but before she could speak again it were as though a dim light settled over her before a person stepped out. Her eyes stared at this being with uncertainty before her pupils narrowed at the sight and her mouth nearly opened. From the glare in her eyes a male with red eyes could be seen; his muscular form obvious to her and the blue shirt still carrying the Uchiha crest. She held her gasped face as she stared, her body stiffening. She was like a deer in headlights now. She couldn't even make herself move if she wanted to and then she felt it. A hand placed against her shoulder. It was warm, pleasant, and enough to get her senses back.

"Nasa.." he spoke again after she turned her attention away. She glanced back at Shi then with a look of confusion. Why had he not come at her? Her heart pulsed before she felt heat near her head and upper body. The hand on her shoulder never moved, causing her to look back again. Nothing? She looked at Shi once more but he was gone and she near gasped again. Her eyes turned all around before the hand she felt became heavier, and heavier yet. She felt as though someone were pushing her down and she wanted it gone. Her hand reached up and grabbed at her shoulder but she still felt the hand. It wasn't her hand though. She backed up but the hand never left and suddenly she was shocked awake from her dreams.

Nothing was heard in the room but the faint ticking of a clock in her kitchen. She tuned into this first as her eyes slightly opened up. The room was still dark and it was obvious the sun had yet to rise. Seeing this she sighed and pulled at the blanket with her right hand some. She nuzzled up into it as she felt her head resting against what seemed to be a soft pillow. But when was her pillow black material...and breathing? She shocked awake then, her eyes snapping open as she shuddered. It was then she realized the hand was still resting on her shoulder. But rather than pushing at her it was doing just as she said, resting. Her left hand, which was so preoccupied about pulling the said hand off though was now intertwined with it and pulling it more towards her. She didn't know what to do. Her head turned slightly upward as she rolled against the leg pillow and peered up at the familiar face of Mitsu. Her heartbeat broke its alarming beat and her muscles almost relaxed. It was only Mitsu. She nearly sighed as she felt her heart slowing down, her left hand releasing some tension as she relaxed. Of course it was then she realized it was Mitsu and nearly jumped again.

After being shocked into thinking some stranger was in her house and relaxing at the fact it was just her friend she then was shocked at the fact that she was sleeping on the lap of the said friend with her fingers intertwined with his. Had she not got up and went to sleep in her own bed? Wait, where was the coffee cup? Slowly things started to come into picture bit by bit as she started relaxing again before sleep hit her like a brick. She was just about to let go of his fingers and move away when suddenly she sank back into the darkness again. Her breaths became even and she was snoozing once more. She hated when this happened. How one minute you're wide awake and about to get up then suddenly you're asleep again. It were as though someone had just came in and knocked you unconscious before you even realized it. She had to admit though, she was tired. Maybe Mitsu would even wake up first. Maybe it would be daylight when he had. She would probably wake up hearing him move or something. Maybe then she would know what to do too. Until then she would just rest. At least this time she wasn't threatened by weird dreams though.

Ah, sleep. The time where the mind rests, yet works its ass off. Here the brain sorts out it's memories and the happenings since the body last slept. Reflexes and muscle memory and all that jazz would be improved little by little. Dreams or nightmares would be created, which is where a mere peak at a fraction of the mind's true potential would be seen. Sadly in Mitsu's case he would dream up a nightmare.

He was in a blank white room, seemingly endless in all dimensions. He looked around until his eyes fell upon Nasa. He smiled at her and she smiled back. She started to walk towards him and he simply stood there until she arrived. "Hello Mitsu, I've missed you." She had a pleasant expression and so did he. "I missed you too Nasa." Mitsu opened his arms and she came closer as she opened hers. They hugged tightly and then looked into each other's eyes with their arms still around one another. "Nasa, I've had something that I've been wanting to tell you ever since we were on the ferry." "What would that be?" She asked innocently, her eyes widened a little as she tightened her grip with her arms slightly. "You have been the only person who really knows me, who really understands me...The only one who has truly accepted me. I have these feelings for you that I have been too scared and worried about to tell you about. I want to always be with you, to stand by you, help you, cheer you up, and even love you."

Mitsu felt nervous after he spoke, worried about her response. There was a long pause between them, both still staring into the other's eyes. Her's were open, but for some reason, Mitsu couldn't read her. It was like the barriers were down, but then they weren't. Finally it seemed as though she came back to reality, she was lost in thought before. Mitsu could see the emotions within her through the bright amber windows that were her eyes, and soon she finally spoke. "Oh Mitsu...I didn't know felt that way about me. The truth is...I feel the same way about you! You have been the only one that accepts me, truly knows me! I love being at your side. I love just being near you, I love your touch, your looks, just...everything. I want to be with you too Mitsu....always." She moved her head closer as he moved his. Soon their lips touched and then lightly kissed before breaking and kissing again, but deeper, with more passion. It seemed to last forever and Mitsu felt content.

Their lips finally parted and she backed away. "Oh Mitsu...You poor, poor child." Her voice started pleasant like before, but after she said his name, it sunk down in pitch and had a seductive and eerie tone to it. "Oh you silly, silly boy! I could never love someone as pathetic as you! Hahahahah! You are weak and emotional. You have no power and everyone hates you. You are worthless. Instead of helping me when Shi attacked us in the forest you ran away! You left me there alone to fight him! I could have died, but all you seemed to care about was your miserable and pathetic excuse for a life."

Mitsu was hurt and confused by all of this. He was scared as he watched her expression changed for the loving and sweet girl to some evil and degrading thing. "What are you talking about!? He sent a lion after me! I had to run away! You even told me not to fight. You told me to run away! There wasn't anything I could do to help! I wanted to but..." "But what? Because you were too weak to help little old me? You should have ignored me! You should have rushed in and helped me! Not that you would do any good. The best you could have been was a meat shield, and even then you wouldn't have lasted long! Like I said, you are pathetic and worthless. I've never liked you. I only pretended to so I could get any use out of you, and I didn't find anything. The best you are is a light snack for me, and I wouldn't be satisfied either. Why don't you just run away and go crying back to mommy? Oh thats right, she is dead, along with your equally worthless father. And you didn't even have the decency to mourn or even cry over their deaths! Leave me right now! next time I see you, I'm going to kill you."

Mitsu had no choice, he had to just run away from her. She had already pulled out a kunai and started hand signs. He ran as fast as he could. He was scared and confused. Why would she do this? Why would she say those things to him? Why did she say she loved him, even kiss him, but then say all she ever felt towards him was hate and loathing? But soon his thoughts would be silenced. Nasa threw the kunai and it hit him right in the back of the head. Mitsu's sight started to go and he felt the sting of the kunai as it struck. He let out a cry of pain before he fell to his knees then onto his stomach. Before the light and sounds faded, all he heard was the laughter of Nasa. Then all was dark.

Mitsu's eyes shot open and he gasped deeply, getting a whiff of the vanilla scent in the room. Everything around him then started to register. Oh thank god. It was just a dream. Mitsu breathed in deeply and let out a sigh before relaxing. He looked over at Nasa and noticed she was still sound asleep. The sun had yet to rise either. Her face had started to cringe as well. So you are having a nightmare too? Well I hope it wasn't as bad as mine. He rested his hand on her shoulder still, adding a bit of pressure then letting off, back to where it was simply resting on her shoulder. He started to relax and then closed his eyes again. He was able to push the nightmare he had aside and go back to sleep. This time though, it would not be deep, so he would not dream. He would simply wake up in the morning like nothing happened between the time he woke up from the nightmare to when he woke up in the morning.

And so that is what happened. His eyes slowly opened as the morning light poured in. He looked over as Nasa who was back to sleeping soundly. All was still through the house, save for the sound of their steady breaths. Mitsu gently took her head and lifted it off of him, and replaced his thigh with a pillow. He walked out of the room and smelled cinnamon before walking to the bathroom to take care of the issue of his contracting bladder. The bathroom smelled of lavender as it did last time. Mitsu flushed and washed his hand before walking out of the bathroom then he would start walking to the living room again.

Nasamea slept soundlessly up until Mitsu stirred awake. She was sleeping but it was light compared to the heavy slumber she had before the nightmare. She twitched awake once she felt herself become placed against the couch. At least now she could wake up and not feel so awkward holding on to him. Thing was she couldn't remember if she ended up letting go of his hand or not. She felt her cheeks grow a little warm for a second before she shook her head some and opened her eyes. Her pupils narrowed to the light as they soaked in the light breaching through the window. It reflected off the glass in front of her where she saw the two cups sit from the night before. It was turning into the sound of a drunk tale aside from the fact they had tea and hot chocolate; no alcohol included. Nasa nearly chuckled at these stupid thoughts as she pushed herself up and stretched. The blanket still covered her lower half as she sat up. Aside from Mitsu it had kept her nice and warm all night. This brought her a sense of some contentment, until she heard Mitsu again.

The sound of the flushing toilet made her ears twitch as she listened to it. Her eyes stared blankly at the hallway as they waited tiredly for Mitsu to come out. Normally Nasa wasn't so slow to awaken from a good night's rest but after their travel she felt worn out. She would probably chill in her apartment all day and rest until tonight. It would be then that she went hunting for a decent meal to satisfy the growing pang in her stomach from days of prolonged hunger. Her regeneration was useless again, she knew that much for sure, and she would have to get food soon to replenish. Sure, Mitsu was available but she wouldn't allow him to be on the menu.

"Morning" she said tiredly, a faint smile crossing her lips as she peered at him with a half asleep expression. It looked like she was about to fall over on the couch and return to her darkness again but she was forcing herself awake. She had a guest after all and if she really wanted to she could sleep after he left. That is.. if he left. In a way, she kind of didn't want him to. The apartment would become too empty in her mind. However, she wasn't going to force him and knew that eventually he would have to return home. He probably wanted to return home and see his family too... she couldn't argue against that.

"By chance are you hungry?" she then asked a bit awkwardly. This was emphasized by her uncertain smile, "I don't have much because well, not exactly human and don't need human food... but I have enough to make you breakfast if you want. Doesn't bother me a single bit and besides, the food would probably end up going bad anyway."

She only kept very little but these items were in case she had her foster parents and potential guests over. She didn't know who would be over but apparently Mitsu was one person. Chances of anyone else, zero to none probably.

"By chance are you hungry?" It was after Nasa spoke those words Mitsu felt and barely heard his stomach growl. She wouldn't have been able to hear it most likely. He sort of laughed to himself and scratched the back of his head then let it fall to the side, like the other. "Well now that you mention it, I guess I am hehehe. I would like to help if that is alright. I'm really good with making eggs. I'm actually good at cooking breakfast in general, but I'll keep it small for the sake of keeping a short cleaning session. Shall we get to work then?"

With that Nasa and Mitsu walked into the kitchen. Nasa pulled out eggs and bacon from the fridge and some bread from a drawer. He knew Nasa wouldn't want any, so Mitsu simply made enough for himself. Had she not told him that she didn't eat food, he wouldn't have remembered that she didn't and offered some. Mitsu got out three eggs and the burners from the gas stove were lit. As the pans heated up Mitsu got to work. He pulled out some milk from the fridge and got a decent sized bowl, along with some salt and pepper. He decided to fool around a bit and juggled the eggs for amusement. It wasn't long before Mitsu almost dropped one though, so he caught them all and stopped. This should have made Nasa laugh, at least on the inside. It was kind of embarrassing.

Mitsu made a senbon needle from bone and poked a hole at the top of the first egg. he placed his finger on it to block out the hole and did the same to the bottom with the needle. He then dug out more of the shell on the second hole then flipped it over the bowl. he put his lips to the small hole after taking in a breath and blew through the hole. This caused the insides to be forced out the hole and into the bowl, breaking up the egg yolk as well, due to the small hole. He then cracked the other two eggs against each other and opened them over the bowl, making sure the egg whites were completely drained as well. He threw the shells away and quickly washed his hands before obtaining a fork. He then quickly and expertly whisked the eggs until the yolks were broken up. After that, Mistu added a bit of salt and pepper and carefully put in some milk, making sure not to add too much. He then whisked it all together making a nice blend. His whisking was in large circles, adding air into the mix. This would make the eggs more light and fluffy, as well would the milk.

By the time all of this was done, the bacon Nasa was cooking as sizzling and Mitsu's pan was also hot. He poured is all in and listened to the noise that was made as the alluring scent of bacon filled the air. Who didn't love the smell of bacon? Mitsu didn't know anyone who did, and he didn't care if he ever would either. Bacon was a delicacy to him, as he didn't have it too often, trying to keep healthy and what not. Anyway, Mitsu kept the eggs moving, making sure nothing got burned or stuck to the skillet. He pulled out a plate and come cheese and placed the cheese on the eggs, then folded over the whole thing, making an omelet. He then made strips of a single slice of cheese and placed them on top, mainly for decoration. The bacon was then put on the plate and set on the table, along with the fork he used, after it was cleaned of course. During the course of this, Nasa made some tea for herself, Mitsu having a glass of milk. Mitsu then happily ate his meal, it being made very well. Mitsu kept his manners though and didn't eat like a hog. He ate at a decent pace and finished by the time Nasa was done with her tea.

He helped clean up, no real problems there either. He looked up at the clock and noticed the time. it was 9:30. The thoughts of his aunt and uncle came to him, and he knew he had to come home soon. He actually wanted to ask if he could stay for the day, but he knew he didn't want his parentals worry about him. "Thank you kindly for allowing me to stay here for the night and for the wonderful breakfast Nasa. Perhaps we could do it again some time? I really would like to stay, but I can't have my aunt and uncle waiting for too long. I hate it when other's worry about me, especially those two. Like always, if you ever want to go on another mission with me, I'll be glad to go. Goodbye for now Nasa, see you later." Mitsu made sure to bow out of gratitude and slight respect when he thanked her. Soon though he was out the door with a wave and soon returned home. He really did wish he could have stayed though.
