Kaz: Gathering Ingredients Mission - 12/29/14

==Participants==
Geikami Kazuki, Uzumaki Kazuko
==Title: Gathering Ingredients==
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko was walking through the wet streets of the village of Amegakure, it was drizzling as it did every day the sun was hidden away by the clouds but she knew it was just about noon. She was heading from her small apartment to the main part of the village to grab a bite to eat for lunch when tall woman dressed in all black appeared in front of her holding out a scroll to her. Kazuko blinked unsure what was going on but she took the scroll and the woman disappeared again. Standing still in the rain she would take out a Kunai and cut the seal holding the scroll closed she would then unroll the scroll and begin to read over it. It was a mission that involved her gathering ingredients from the forest. She knew she wasn’t supposed to go outside the village but the mission required her to. She also didn’t want to go outside of the village alone so she stopped and thought about it for a remember. She knew of one Kazuki she remembered him from the testing to become a genin she thought he looked trustworthy enough to go on this Mission with her but getting him to agree would be hard she remembered him not being very talkative before so she had her work cut out from herself. She would search through the village looking for him.-
KazukiGeikami: -Kazuki like most days was alone which he preferred except for the occasional company of doing spars and missions but can’t really consider that company. He was sitting on top of the rooftop just outside his bedroom window with his black open toed shoes protected by the black shin guards forcefully gripped the slipper surface of the rain beading off the metal shingles he brought his and left hand down upon the roof top as well placing his palms down on the cold slippery surface.  He pressed down with his palms and lifted his self-up from the roof to a standing position. His short sleeved black hoodie like top was even darker than normal as the rain had saturated the cloths fibers.  Pulling his hoodie down slightly over his onyx colored cloth pants that as well was darker than normal due to the down pour of rain.  His dark as the night sky elbow pads clung to the light ivory skin of his arms like a long lost friend as he reached back behind him adjusting his purple and blue pouch with his fingerless black armored bracer gloves. The pouch adorned the symbol of the village which he carried to hold his six Kunai, twenty paper bombs, one flash bomb and a stash of foldable paper for his paper manipulation skills. He shook his head from left to right in doing so his cobalt colored hair a signature of the Geikami flung many water droplets that had attached their selves to the loose strands. His amber eyes shifted back and forth as he watched the comings and goings of the people on the street below him. A light sight of discontent passed through his slightly parted lips, not that anyone could see if his lips were parted due to the fact he kept his lower face covered up by a black scarf type cloth that wrapped around his face, neck and shoulders. He focused his chakra to the souls of his feet and began to walk down the slanted roof. As Kazuki neared the edge of the roof he bent his knees slightly and pushed off the roof top taking to the air with a jump.  He reached behind him in his pouch and pulled out a stack of paper with at least a thousand tiny sheets all tied together with a small blue ribbon with his right hand and began to infuse the whitish blue paper with his own chakra. He pulled the tiny blue ribbon from around the paper and tossed it to the wind. The paper gathered around his back forming paper like wings they stretched out maybe five feet or so in length.  These wings were not your average wings unlike most these wings broke off into five different strands on either side of his back. The wings began to flap  once, twice then three times propelling Kaz making so he held his position in the air for a few moments before  the paper  dissipated from his back falling like the rain around him to the street below.  He softy hit the street without a sound planting his feet firmly to the grey stone street. Taking his right black gloved hand‘s finger tips and lightly lacing the through his rain drenched hair back from his eyes momentarily, only to have it fall back into its original position covering his amber hued eyes as a bold of stray lighting that just suddenly ripped through the dark grey storm cloud filled sky that always loomed over this village. The thunderous sound that fallowed the brilliant flash of lightning echoed off the metal walls of the surrounding buildings. Kazuki stood there for a moment gathering his thoughts to figure out what he was actually going to do today.-
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko ran through the streets of the village her emerald eyes darting around the street looking for any traces of the boy she was looking for. Her feet covered by her black open toe sandals would splash through the puddle filled streets. After several minute she spotted something flying above the street her green eyes went wide as that thing landed on the ground and she realized it was a boy and not just any boy it was the cobalt colored hair boy she was looking for. Kazuko would stop running and take a deep breath as she fixed her black coat that hung over her tight black top and look down to make sure that the bottom of her purple tight pants had not gotten to wet from the puddles. After several seconds she would smile and walk over to Kazuki.- “Hey there Kazuki….um I was wondering if you had anything planned for today and if not if you could help me with a Mission.” -her green eyes would scan over him taking in his outfit as a sudden thunderous sound made her shiver a little. She didn’t mind storms but the idea of being out in the forest during one did worry her a bit. Kazuko would stand there staring at him with her emerald eyes her right hand would make its way up to play with the tips of her crimson hair as she waited for him to answer.-
KazukiGeikami:  -Not long after dropping to the stone street below his apartment, he caught a glimpse of a crimson haired girl making her way over towards him, which at the time it seemed like she was in a rush. Before she approached him he noticed it seemed like she was trying to catch her breath or at least that is what it seemed seeing as she took a deep breath. His Amber eyes met her emerald green hued optics with a quick glance. It was only seconds after this she was right before him asking him what his plans were for the day. Now normally he would just blow people off but something told him he should listen.  She was talking about how she wanted help with a mission she had received. Kazuki shrugged his shoulders slightly in his normal nonchalant fashion. - “Well what type of mission is it?...” –In the back of his mind he hopped he wouldn’t regret asking this question. He didn’t like to go along with others and much preferred doing things alone but as every great shinobi knows not everything can be done alone, even Kazuki understood this. He had hoped it wasn’t just something undermining his talents as a shinobi.- “ Can’t really expect someone to help you if you don’t tell them what the mission is…” – Kaz shook his head from left to right slightly after doing such he noticed her eyes upon him as if she was sizing him up  by looking him over. He shrugged this off as his eyes averted to her hair playing with the tips of her crimson hair which made him think one of two things at the moment but best just to keep those thoughts out of his head.-
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko would nod her head up and down slightly she should have known to explain a bit if she wanted him to answer. She just hoped that he would not think it was mission not worth his time. she paused for a moment noticing he was watching her play with her hair she would drop her hand and place it behind her back bringing her other hand behind her back and standing up straight.- “you see the Mission is to go out into the forest and bring back Ingredients for the restaurant and I have never been out to the forest, I was hoping you would come with me and help please” -her green eyes would shift to the ground she was nervous about asking him for help but also she was nervous just being around him for some reason she normally didn’t get nervous around people but with her excitement about this being her first mission and having to go outside the village alone if he refused had her nervous.-
KazukiGeikami: -Nodding slightly to her words his emotions or sound in his voice always same with no hint of anything to them so blank so rather cold one could say. The only warmth about him was the color of his amber eyes like that glistened in the dim light that cascaded through the storm cloud filled sky of Amegakure. It was true this mission how simple it seemed would mean they would have to go outside the village walls and into the forest to hunt down these mysterious ingredients that she so far has failed to mention what they even were. The thought of leaving the village even just as far as the forest which in reality wasn’t that far from the village kind of peeked his interest there was no telling what was out there and what the pair might find or even be greeted with if he chose to go along with her on this mission. - “Alright you have yourself a partner for this mission…I don’t think it would be wise for you to go alone...in any case...” –There was something about her that made him feel as if she was nervous around him just maybe how she was acting like looking to the ground after she had asked him. In the back of his mind he wondered out of all the other Genin floating around this village why did she pick him out of the group, it’s not like he was ever forth coming or very social with anyone, and just really kept to his self, which really made him want to ask. His lips parted slowly and in the same emotionless sounding voice he asked her.- “ Why me though?..” – He just couldn’t wrap his mind around this fact no matter how many times he played it over in his mind.-
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko nodded looking up from the ground as he said she had a partner for the mission she pulled the scroll out of her back pocket and started to unroll it when he asked her why she had chosen him. She paused for a moment her emerald eyes meeting his amber ones for a moment pausing to think about why she had chosen him. She thought back to him always being the silent one and she didn’t really know him that well but something about him made her want to choose him to work with out of everyone else. She didn’t know exactly what it was something about him she knew she could trust if it came down to it. She finally spoke after a few seconds the scroll still in her hand.- “well….You were the first person I thought of when I saw the mission was to go outside of the village into the forest. I’m not quite sure why but I wanted to do the mission with you.” -she said this smiling slightly but then looking away her cheeks pink a bit from not being able to explain it or even knowing herself why. She would continue to unroll the scroll and look over the ingredients that they needed to find.- “Well you see the list is actually quite interesting We need to find several pieces of ginger root, a parsley bush or two, a handful of sweet woodruff and a bucket of wild mushrooms along with one piece of meat. I am sure that all of those ingredients can be found somewhere in the forest because that’s where it says to go to gather them.” -she looked up at him once more he cheeks no longer pink and nodded.- “Should we head out then or do you need to gather things?” -she didn’t know if he needed time to prepare she had her weapons on her already they were tucked into the small black pouch on hip and several on her leg holster but she wasn't sure what all was in the pouch he wore if anything she would also have as bag rolled up in her pouch that she could use to carry the ingredients.- 
KazukiGeikami: -Kaz nodded slightly as he heard her answer as why she chose him and wondered why she was thinking of him in the first place, granted within Amegakure the Geikami and Uzumaki worked closely together  just like the two most famous ones from their clans here Nagato and Konan did back in there time. Kazuki shrugged his shoulders slightly. ” –He had noticed that she started to smile and a light bit of pink formed on her cheeks. He pondered this for a moment before she started to list off what they had to gather.-“Very well then.” -As she listed of the list of ingredients he was making a mental note of each one for later, which was one thing his was good at remember things that were said in this fashion.- “ At least one of those…- He paused for a moment before speaking once more.- not going to lie I never heard of…” – Kazuki wasn’t that into cooking he just normally bought the premade stuff, it didn’t really matter to him as long as it filled him up and gave him the energy that he needed to complete his tasks.- “ As for if I need anything before we head out the answer is no…I always carry what I need on me for the day…it’s not like this is going to be a long trip so not much is needed  anyway…” – He took his right hand and pointed to the purple and blue pouch on his lower back.- “Besides paper is the most deadliest of weapons I can carry..” – Kazuki had already learned all there was to know with his clan jutsu’s at least for his level as a Genin the more difficult and advanced techniques would only be taught to him as his rank increased. His lips parted slowly as he went to speak to her once more. - “Well I am ready when you are…”
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko nodded she had to admit it was interesting knowing he didn’t know one of the Ingredients she knew them all the others had taught her how to cook so she could find them but she was interested in seeing how he would do she could always have him find the easy ones but she didn’t quite know what she would do yet. She would reroll the scroll and place it back into her pocket before turning and walking towards the village gate her footsteps silent as she avoided the bigger puddles that would make a splashing noise if she stepped in them. She was determined she would show at least some skill as a ninja on this mission. She didn’t look behind her to see if he was following her he had said he would help her with the mission and she trusted that he would. It wouldn’t take long to reach the gate but she paused once she had she would take a deep breath. She would approach the gate a guard would look at her intently as if saying without words genin cannot leave the village she would pull the scroll from her pocket and hand it to the man. After he read through it he nodded and handed the paper back to her. “Don’t be out there after dark” was all the man said before waving them through the gate. Kazuko would jog slightly past the guards outside of the village gate she saw the huge bridge that lead to the forest and sighed softly starting to walk across the long bridge the thunder would sound again and she would shiver again as it did. Several minutes later they would enter the forest. Kazuko would smile the trees around her looked alive and well she would start to look around for the ingredients. She was going to start off with Ginger one of the easiest plants to find she would search for a plant with pinkish red flowers on it.- “why don’t you try and find the Parsley while I look for the Ginger” -she said softly not wanting to sound bossy and hoping it was one of the ones he knew.
KazukiGeikami: -Kazuki watched as she tucked the scroll back into her pocket. Soon he followed after her as she started to make her way down the main stone street of Amegakure his eyes never left her after all they were on a mission together and even though he wasn’t used to teaming up with others other than his team members in in team one as for any missions success the team had to have each other’s backs no matter who they were paired with. Kazuki made his way passed most of the puddles that laid before him on the stone street but for how it was raining it was near impossible to avoid stepping in some amount of water. It wasn’t long before they had reached the gate, the shinobi on gate duty had would no doubt stop tehm from leaving he had hoped she knew enough to at least show him the mission scroll and not just tried to explain what they were doing. After all they probably hear that from a lot of Geni’s who just want to take a trip outside the village walls without any real purpose. Much to his amazement she did just as he had hoped she would do and showed the guard the scroll once they were stopped as they neared the gate. The conversation between the guard and her didn’t last long it had seemed to him she was eager to get started on this mission as she started to pick up her pace a bit. Kazuki followed suit and began to pick up the pace as well. His feet hitting the dampened wood of the bridge that lead them a crossed the river that flowed just outside the gate of Amegakure. After crossing the bridge it wasn’t long before they were the actual forest. Kazuki looked up and to all sides of him seeing the lush green leaves and stalks of the bamboo that lay all around him. There were only a few paths that lead off the main trail through the forest. It had seemed that the main ones were worn down to dirt and stone which lead him to believe this choice of routes was taken on a daily basis. He turned his head towards her as she began to speak to him saying she was going to look for the ginger and that he should look for the parsley. He nodded up and down slowly as she said this. She was taking charge in this mission not that he minded or anything after all he was just brought a long for the help, and it was her mission after all.- “ Understood…I shall take this path  over here to the right.. – With his right hand he extended his index finger and pointed to the path that he was to take. The path didn’t seem like it had been used that often but someone had been down it recently due to the fact of all the broken leaves and smashed down plants along the sides.- “ But I do think we shouldn’t wander off to far from each other in case something should arise…” –Kaz waited for her response before he made his way down his chosen path.- 
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko agreed with Kazuki about not wandering too far apart. Speaking softly again but loud enough for him to hear she would say so. - “Alright let’s stick close together.” -she choose to wander off through the thick trees not far from the path he had chosen to go down ginger didn’t grow in open area’s so she knew she would have to look some places unventured to find any good ginger root. The whole time she was climbing over branches and rocks she would be listening for Kazuki. this was unusual for her she was not part of a team nor was she used to working with others so listening for his movements took her awhile to get used to but after several minutes she was able to do both that and look for the Ginger root. She found on plant and smiled as she got down on the ground and pulled out a kunai and began to dig out the plants roots. It would take her a good four minutes to dig a big enough hole around the plant to be able to cut free pieces of the root from the plant she only took enough that would ensure the plant would still be alive if she ever had to come back to it. She would place the ginger she cut into her pouch before covering the plant’s roots again. She would then wipe the dirt that was on her kunai on her purple pants before putting it back into place and getting to her feet. She didn’t bother to dust the dirt off her clothes because she knew she would only get dirty again she would try and climb through the trees to intersect the path that he was on so she could meet up with him and let him know she had found the ginger.- 
KazukiGeikami: -Kazuki kept his amber eyes jetting around looking back and forth between the ground and his surroundings he knew that parsley grew closer to the ground and that is was green in color so it most likely could blend in with the other green plants that were in the forest not to mention if he wasn’t careful he could end up stepping on it and running it before he got a chance to harvest it. Kazuki reached behind him   to his purple and blue pouch and pulled out a single sheet of paper. Like he did before with the paper that formed his wings he began to infuse it with his own light blue chakra. With only his right hand he began to fold the pieces of paper into a paper shuriken and with his own chakra infusing the paper it was as sharp and as durable as a metal one. With his left hand he dug once again into his pouch this time he pulled out a metal Kunai and held it with his left hand. With the paper shuriken in his right hand he began to flip it between his fingertips like one would play with a coin. It wasn’t long before he spotted a patch of parsley. He quickly knelt down beside it  and with his left hand that held the kunai he waved it down at the stems  as his right hand still holding the paper shuriken held on to the upper stem of the parsley in a clump so that he could gather it easily. He repeated this process two more times making sure he had gathered enough parsley for the mission. With each bunch he tied a small blue band around them to hold them in place before tucking them away in his pouch. It wasn’t long before he heard Kazuko moving about in the distance it had seemed maybe she found the one she was looking for quickly or maybe she hadn’t found it in her area only time would tell. Kazuki got up from the ground he noticed he a slight bit of dirt from where he was on the ground collecting the parsley he shrugged slightly paying no more mind to it and started to make his way towards her making his way passed all the tree’s and tall thickets of other assorted plants and bushes, only to hear a slight rustling sound coming from the opposite direction of where he had heard Kazuko coming from. He paused for a moment and stopped and listened carefully to the sounds that were approaching him one sounded to him like it was a much larger then what he thought Kazuko would sound like but in time all would be known seeing as the sound was not too far off now. –
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko would move quietly through the lush bushes of the forest, after a few moments she would appear right in front of Kazuki not meaning to catch him off guard. Her face would light up softly her cheeks still pink she would let out a soft giggle because she didn’t mean to come out this close to him.- “I have the ginger” -she would say then pause for a moment her ears twitching after hearing the rustling sound coming from behind Kazuki her emerald eyes went wide and looked from Kazuki to the direction of the noise as she reached for her Kunai that was strapped to her left leg. Sighing softly she knew that the sound she was hearing was much larger than a simple bunny or wild dog and it was approaching them faster than a slower sloth of fox would. She also knew that a shinobi wouldn’t make a sound at least one older and stronger than them wouldn’t. So with reason thought she knew it was some kind of large animal her Emerald eye narrowed as a large snout broke through the other side of the path that Kazuki was standing on it was rust colored and had a black nose on the tip of its snout it didn’t look like a dog but a large bear. She arms started to shake but she took a deep breath as the animal let out a snarl looking at the two Genin.- “um Kazuki…..”-was all she could say for a moment her eyes not leaving the bear as it moved forward towards the two Genin. Kazuko would leap up into a tree and look down knowing Kazuki could easily get away.- 
KazukiGeikami: -Kazuki’s Amber eyes glanced over to Kazuko seeing as she was face to face with him, a slight bit of what seemed to be blush forming on her cheeks. He nodded slightly to her statement before fixating his eyes sight back onto where the nose had been coming from. It wasn’t long before the mysterious sound was upon them only to find out that it was a rather large bear with rusty brown colored fur, and a cold looking black nose on its long snout hearing the bear snort as Kazuko made it to a safe distance away up into the trees, only to have the bear let out a roar as it lunged towards Kazuki. With his paper shuriken and his kunai still in hand He jumped the Kunai down into the bear’s snout from above without missing a beat slipping the cool metal deep within the animals flesh, three trails of blood like mini little rivers flowing down the snout of the bear trickled down its sides. From underneath Kazuki brought up the paper shuriken and brought back his hand slightly launching the paper shuriken with a quick flick of his wrist sending it hurtling into the mid-section of the bear just above its stomach. The paper strong as metal and as sharp as a freshly sharpened Katana  ripped into the skin of the bear with ease as it made impact it stuck protruding out of the flesh. Kazuki leaped backwards after doing this launching his self-up into the air and up into the tree next to Kazuko. Kaz   made a quick the hand seal of the snake. The tiny shuriken exploded The fiery blast mixed with red, yellows and oranges had enough force that it could easily take a nice chunk out of the bear if not send it flying backwards with the sheer force of the blast. As the shock wave from the blast went outwards and started to shake the tree that they were on Kazuki held out his right arm placing it in front of Kazuko. With his left hand he reached back into his pouch pulling out a stack of papers and untied them quickly infusing his light blue chakra into each peace before scattering them into the wind. The pieces of paper flung into the wind forming much larger wings on his back this time. They were long enough that he could easily maneuver them to wrap around His and Kazuko shielding them from the shock wave and any debris that might have been kicked up from the blast kaz simply looked over to Kazuko before speaking to her.- “ Hang on”
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko watched everything from the lone branch in the tree she had jumped up into she was surprised that he didn't join her however she should know shinobi are reckless and most of them won't back down from a fight even if it is a bear. The weapons he was using she had never see anything like them before, paper weapons it both intrigued and it shocked her. She watched as Kazuki’s landed on the branch next to her doing a small hand sign then tag explode sending bamboo and other plants flying everywhere. She was blocked by his arm and then covered by his wings she would stumble forward from the blast wrapping her arms around his arm and her hand still holding the kuni would miss him completely still in her hand. Outside of his wings the bear would fly backwards with the blast its body flying backwards into a dense group of bamboo tree’s and cracking them the tops would fall and land overtop of the bear as it tried to get back up blood flowing from its wounds like a river of red over the freshly turned dirt of the ground. The bear would get to its feet after several minutes and stumble forward at the tree the two genin were in it would begin to shake the tree with its paws. Kazuko would feel the tree underneath her shaking more as the branch started to crack she would cling tighter to his arm as the branch finally snapped underneath of them.- 
KazukiGeikami: -After Kazuko wrapped her arms around his arm, He waited till the blast and all the impact and debris were clear, before he his wings unwrapped from around them only to see the bear going after the bamboo tree they were on shaking and clawing at it furiously. Kazuki noticed the bear was bleeding heavily from the wounds his explosive tag shuriken had caused to it, it probably wouldn’t be long before the bear would pass out from sheer blood loss.  The branch they had been standing on began to crack under the bear’s attack Kazuki thinking fast he pulled another explosive tag from his pouch once again and infused it with more of his light blue chakra and began to fold it in his left hand once again into a paper shuriken. With a few flaps of each of his wings a strong gust of wind shot down from each flap with a loud repetitive swooshing sound much like a turkey’s wings. His shaggy cobalt blue hair began to sway back and forth with the wind that was being kicked up from the power of his wings. He looked into Kazuko’s eyes as he pulled her close with his right arm wrapping it around her torso holding on to her tight. – Hold tight I have never tried carrying someone else with me before…” –His paper wings began to flap vigorously lifting them both up into the air  off the branch slightly no more than five feet from it. He flicked his left wrist with the explosive tag paper shuriken in it and flung it with great speed towards the bear aiming for its head. Within a matter of seconds the shuriken hit its mark but instead of the center of the bear’s head like he was aiming for Kazuki hit the bear in its right eye popping the delicate optic like a balloon. The bear winced backwards and stumbled falling to the ground and rolled back a few feet from the tree. Kazuki look at the bear seeing that the bear was still breathing due to the rise and fall of its chest. Kazuki was having a bit of trouble staying air born more trouble than he would have liked to admit to his self or even his passenger. He began to slowly descend to the ground below just five feet away from the bear’s location. His feet hit the ground without making a sound.-
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko would squeak feeling her feet being lifted off the ground as she clung to him she had a fear of being picked up something she would not admit to anyone but she clung close to him. As her feet hit the ground once more she let go of him still shaking her cheeks bright pink as she gazed up at him before she looked over at the bear its rising and falling still of its chest she knew the only kind thing to do was to put it out of its misery with caution she would turn away from Kazuki and move slowly towards the bear it was motionless except for its breathing the kuni still in her right hand she would grip it tight she would then approach the bear and stand over it shoving the kunai into the bears heart. Kazuko was troubled by this taking its life was not something she had planned on doing but having it attack them gave them no choice after the breathing stopped she removed her kunai from the bear and wiped it on her pant leg before putting it away. She didn’t look at Kazuki afraid what he would say to her for showing the animal mercy after it attacked them she would speak- “well we have more than a little meat to take back to the village for the restaurant.” -after a few seconds her emerald eyes would lift from the ground to look at Kazuki- 
KazukiGeikami: -Kazuki started breathing a bit heavy as she released her grip on him. He was sure that he could feel her shaking beforehand but she probably wasn’t used to flying like he was. He had used a lot of chakra just then and needed a moment to catch his breath. He watched as she took the kunai she had in her hand and shoved it into the bear’s heart. Kazuki Walked over to the bear and wrapped his right hand’s fingers around his Kunai that was sticking out of the bear’s snout. He pulled upwards on the kunai ripping it free from the flesh of the bear as more blood began to trickle out of where it had been. Taking the Kunai he followed suit just like Kazuko did and wiped the blade clean on his left black fabric pant leg. Kazuki nodded his head up and down slowly at her statement it was true they had more than enough meat to meet their extra requirements. Kazuki with his left hand took a light grip of his paper shuriken that was wedged into the eye socket of the bear. He pulled back on it freeing the paper shuriken.- “ Well I guess we only have a few things left…I’ll go look for the mush rooms you can grab the other thing…before the attack I did find the parsley..” –Kazuki noticed she had been looking towards the ground but after a few seconds her eyes would look upon him. He stared back into her emerald eyes with his fiery amber eyes as if peering into her very soul.- “ I think the bear will be okay here for now  no use dragging something so large around until we finish up.” –Kazuki looked around the area rather quickly and remembered that he caught a glimpse of some mushrooms not too far from here before he was distracted with the noise from the bear.- “ I still think it would be best if we don’t wander too far away from each other, we could gather the last two together if you wish..” –Kazuki turned from facing her and began to make his way back to where he says the mushrooms.-
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko watched him for a second as he began to walk off she pondered the option she had. The fact was she was still shaking not just from flight but from everything that had taken place so far outside the village she was tired and dirty and really didn’t want to be alone but spending more time with him kind of scared her as well. She sighed softly then ran after him to catch up.- “we should find them together” -she smiled softly trying to hide what was actually going on in her mind as they made their way to the mushrooms. She would help him pick a few. She knew where the woodruff was they had actually walked right past a field of it when they came into the forest the white fluffy plant that most people thought weeds grew in open fields and it tasted so yummy. After the mushrooms were gathered she spoke up.- “we should get the bear before going for the woodruff since the woodruff is actually outside of the forest on our way back to the village. Those white plants that look like snowballs on stems thats what we need.” -she would start to head back to where the bear was. She still wasn't sure how they were going to do this without passing out from this long day but she was happy at least she wasn't doing this alone.- 
KazukiGeikami: -He turned his head back around quickly to see if she was going to follow him or not and much by his surprise she was. It wasn’t long before they were at where he say the mushrooms, he bent down and started to gather them up hand full by hand full. Mushrooms were one of Kazuki’s favorites not that many people knew that for the simple fact he didn’t let people really get close to him.- “ Sticking together was the best choice after the bear…- Kazuki nodded slightly to his own statement. His lips parted slowly and gave her a simple one word answer to her statement.- “ Okay.” - He paused for a moment as he stuffed one extra hand full of mushrooms into his pouch. He was going to save this bunch for later maybe he could figure out how to cook them. - “These mushrooms look rather tasty…” – He wondered if she knew how to cook them but he wasn’t going to ask her.- “Well I think we have enough mushrooms even some extra that I’m saving if you don’t mind…Guess we should head back to the bear then to the last ingredient…” –Kazuki got back up and started to make his way back to the bear. Kaz made it back to the bear first he bent down and grabbed it by its right and left front paws pulling them over his shoulders to have better leverage. He thought to his self *Well it would probably be easier if the weight of the bear was more on me.* -Kazuki waited to Kazuko was near enough to hear him once more before speaking again.- “ You can try lifting the bear up from the back slightly so it’s not dragging on the ground when we try to move it…most of the weight should be on me…which should make it easier..”
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko would nod at his comment about sticking together it really was the right choice and after walking with him to pick the mushrooms she would be glad that is what she choose to do. Her emerald eyes would go to him as she saw him sticking mushrooms into his pouch and she giggled at the comment about them looking rather tasty.- “I agree they do I will probably keep some as well to cook later if you want I can cook some for you to” -she blushed as she said this and stayed quiet as he had rushed off ahead and was pulling the bear onto his back she sighed he was going to hurt himself she thought then she listened as he spoke and moved back to the back of the bear grabbing its back paws she would lift up the bear was heavy but she knew she could do this she wasn't going to look weak in front of him especially not after he had already saved her once. So she lifted the bear. They would move down the path carrying the bear through the forest back to the entrance Right before the Bridge there was the field she had spoken of full of the white flower like plants.- “there is the last ingredient she would say” -then waited for him to respond.- 
KazukiGeikami: -Her comment about cooking some of the mushrooms for him caught him off guard a bit. It sure wasn’t something he was used to after all he kept to his self for the most part.- “I-I-I-Um…Would like that if you did…I really don’t know how to cook…” - It didn’t seem like it took that long till they were near the bridge that would lead them back into Ame.  He paused for a moment as she spoke to him once more pointing out that the final ingredient was within their location now.  Kazuki was breathing slightly heavy from carrying most of the weight of the bear. He slowly let the bear drop to the ground and bent slightly at the knees placing both of his hands on them taking a moment to catch his breath and rest. His lips parted and in a breathy tone of voice he spoke to her once more. - “It won’t be long now till this mission is complete.” – A light bit of sweat began to form on his forehead taking his right hand he slowly wiped it a crossed his forehead removing it. He made his way over to the last ingredient and began to gather some of it up. He turned towards her his lips parting once more.- “ Another thing I have to admit to is I just normally buy the prepackaged food and heat it up…” –He shook his head from left to right slightly as he gather up the last bit in his area before making his way back to the bear. Just like he did before he pulled the bears front paws around his shoulders to take  most of the weight of the bear once again and waited to start back on their little journey back to Ame to turn in the mission.-
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko blushed his comment about liking the idea of her cooking for him caught of off guard for a boy with not much to say he had perfect way of saying something at the right time. She would walk around gathering the woodruff from the area when she looked back she noticed he was also gathering some and she smiled she enjoyed this time. When she had enough she tucked it away, just as she heard his comment. It was true their mission was almost over and soon enough they would go their separate ways at least for now.- “Yeah it is” -was all she said a little disappointment in her voice. Though she knew they both needed rest she was tired her body was all dirty and sweaty and she was starting to get hungry. She would move back to the bear seeing that he was sweating a bit she would lift up the back legs of the bear once more trying to take more of the weight from him. They would make their way back to the mission. Reaching the gate the guards all stared at them as they walked through carrying the bear.- 
KazukiGeikami: -It wasn’t long after she picked up the bear and they made their way through the gate. They got a bunch of odd looks from the gate guards, well he thought to his self for a moment. * Well I guess it isn’t everyday two Genin drag a bear through the gates of Amegakure.* - Kazuki lightly shrugged off their stares and began making his way further down the main street in Ame. The rain was pouring down just like it always head the bears fur getting saturated with the onslaught of the rain spilling forth from the heavens. The dark cloud filled sky that loomed over Ame catching his attention only for a moment before the thunderous sounds of the thunder echoing off the tall sky scrapper like buildings that surrounded them in the village hidden in the rain as the cascading light from the lighting illuminating the building with a dull whitish yellow glow. He turned his head slightly back to her.- “ I hope they like what we brought them back…I hope it was all enough…after all the trouble we went through getting these items and dragging this heavy sack of fur and meat back with us…I wonder what they will do with its fur….maybe make a rug or something out of it…it is kind of nice….”
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -After making their way down the wet streets of Ame for a while Kazuko would smile finally as they reached the restaurant and the bear still in their arms they walked in setting it down on the floor near the front counter. Take a few deep breaths she would then pull out the two ingredients she had stashed in her black pouch on her hip leaving only the mushrooms she had kept to cook for them later on in her pouch. Turning to face the counter she would place the ginger and the woodruff on the counter she would look at Kazuki and softly say. “we turn this all in here to complete the mission I do hope they like the bear though” Kazuko was a bit worried the owner would be angry with them for dragging a bleeding dead bear into her restaurant but when the Owner of the restaurant came out of the back she was not angry. She looked with wide eyes at it and then at the genin shocked to see what was lying on the floor of her restaurant and that they were the ones who had done it. Kazuko smiled as the owner thanked them both before stating that they could come collect the fur later if they wanted it to show what they had done. Kazuko shook her head as she said no thank you and turned away walking out into the street again she would stop and wait for Kazuki.-
KazukiGeikami: -After making their way into the restaurant and setting the bear down onto the floor Kazuki nodded slight to Kazuko and reached back into his pouch pulling out the ingredients he collected out and placed one by one on the table, the parsley, the mushrooms all but the extra ones he had gathered up. Then last but not least the last of the ingredients the woodruff placing them all in neat little piles on the counter as they waited for the owner to come out. It wasn’t long before the owner came out, Kazuki noticed the amazed look on her face it had seemed that their efforts were more than satisfactory to the owner. From here on out Kazuki let Kazuko talk to the owner. The owner thanked them both Kazuki nodded politely and said softly in an almost whisper like tone.- “ You’re welcome.”    -Kazuki just shrugged off the fur comment after hearing Kazuko saying no thank you too it. Kazuki made his way out of the restaurant and back onto the street where Kazuko was waiting for him. He paused for a moment before slipping his right hand back to his pouch pulling out a few pieces of tinted light blue paper and began to infuse it with his light blue chakra. he manipulated his fingers around the paper folding it with expert precision until the papers formed into to a light blue paper rose. He reached over towards Kazuko’s crimson strands of hair, and went to place it in her hair.- “ um..I hope you like this…” –His Amber eyes slowly closed as he looked away slightly  as he tried to place the paper rose in her hair waiting to see what she had to say or even thought about his little token of appreciation. –
Guest_UzumakiKazuko: -Kazuko would blush softly as he placed the blue rose in her crimson hair her emerald eyes would drop the ground as she spoke softly- “Thank you it’s beautiful” -she would look back up her cheeks still flushed pink as she smiled and nodded. It shocked her in many ways that he had just given her the rose but the fact she was blushing gave away something she had been hiding all day. She would lift her hand softly to touch her hair near the rose and think to herself *I will have to keep this safe and wear it all the time.* -she would look back at Kazuki- “Any time you're hungry um you can come find me I usually have food on me” -she would reach into the pouch she had on her hip and pull out two pieces of food wrapped in parchment paper they were rolls stuffed with mushrooms and red meat that she had made the night before. she would hand one to Kazuki- “I’m sure you're hungry here” -she would smile softly and wait for him to take the roll before unwrapping her own roll and taking a tiny bite.- “I’ll see you around and Thank you again for everything”-she would say after finishing her first bite and then turn and head back to her apartment for a much needed nap.- 
KazukiGeikami:-His eyes look up as he heard her say thank you his eyes growing slightly soft like a gentle warming flame flicker softly in the breeze.- “ You’re welcome…it looks pretty on you..” – Just like earlier in the day throughout their mission he noticed the blush forming on her cheeks. He nodded slightly at her statement about the food and how she always had some on her if he was ever hungry to ask her. It wasn’t too long after that she had handed him some food wrapped up in parchment paper. He slowly unrivaled it and pulled down his black cloth mask like scarf to take a bite of the food. He was indeed hungry after all they had just finished their mission and put forth a lot of energy into it. The flavors of the food danced around on his tongue like a grand banquet of exploding flavors ones he had never tasted before. - “Thank you it’s really good...” He watches as she took a bit and made her way back to her apartment but before she got too far he nodded slightly and softly said to her.- “ Guess I’ll see you later..” – He turned around and made his way back to the roof top just outside his apartment  laying  down on the cool wet shingles of the roof top looking up at the sky just thinking about all the events of earlier on that day with her as he slowly finished off the food she had given him.-
