Hinata knew she was fast when she tried, but she was still embarrassed. "O-okay." "That seems like a short time after all these years." Rukia said. Sakura sensed Rukia's unease. She knows she could die. She must not care about her own life as long as she knows that her clan will be restored.
Dai's head was throbbing. "Wait... Who's Megumi? And who are you?" She sat up. What's going on?
Sakura smiled. "If you need anything else... I can help." Rukia felt a tear on her cheek and quickly wiped it away. I'll be fine. She told herself and joined Sasuke and Sakura. Hinata stopped outside of the ramen shop. "Should I let you win?" She asked, a bit embarrassed that she had technically beat Naruto.
OOC: wait for xXRukiaKuchikiXx to start (i'm sure it'll be yes thought ^^) BIC: Hikaru watched the waves. "This place is so calm." She stuck her Darkblade in the sand. "I wonder if we get to stay here."
Dai groaned. "... Where am I...?"
I shouldn't bother him with it. Rukia dressed and smiled. "It's nothing." Hinata ran ahead of Naruto. "No you're not!" She laughed.
Hinata gasped and took off after Naruto. Rukia decided to keep her mouth shut about her worries.
"You're not that useful anyway." Hiwatari kept a straight face. "Your days working for this house are done."
Hinata tilted her head. "What?" Rukia's hair had come out of it's bun. "Sasuke-san..."
"You're out of line. If you want to keep this job, do as you're told." Hiwatari ordered.
"Hold you tongue." Hiwatari said, slightly irritated. "Leave her in her room. You're dismissed."
Hinata stopped and rushed to Naruto. "Are you okay?" Rukia obeyed. She a bit surprised to find her cheeks were warm. I'm blushing?
"Maybe." Hiwatari paid no particular attention to Dai or Panzela.
Hinata looked back at Naruto and winked. "Looks like you're going to be paying!" She laughed. Next time, I won't hold back. Satoshi thought. "That's alright." Sakura dressed and went to Rukia. Rukia sighed. "It's so quiet..." She was looking around the district. "So... empty..." She shook her head and laughed, a bit forced. "I shouldn't think like that." Sakura noticed Rukia's long hair was up in a bun and her cloak was off. She also noticed the Uchiha symbol on the back of her shirt. "Um, Sasuke-kun is-" "Yeah, I know." Rukia cleared the thoughts from her mind and went to Sasuke.
"Nothing." Hiwatari said plainly. Kairuto shut his eyes. "Why did you stay...?"
Hikaru's Darkblade came to her hand. "This makes no sense..." She muttered, looking at her Darkblade. "Not many things do." Mizuki laid down, resting her head on her front paws.
Sakura smiled. "Amazing." She said truthfully. Satoshi nodded. "I got it." She bit her lip. What more could he want? Hinata joined Naruto outside and took a head start, laughing.
Hikaru looked back at Takeshi and sighed. "How did we all get here?" "I've no knowledge of how or why we are here. But there is a purpose for everything, and I suggest you start to find yours." Mizuki said. Hikaru plopped down onto the sand. "I don't want to. I just want to find out who my parents were."
Kairuto winced. "When'd you learn that...?" Megumi snapped her fingers and Dai appeared in a swirl of white feathers. She dropped Dai to the ground. "I have no more use for her." Megumi spread her wings and flew away.
Satoshi rubbed her eyes and then followed Gaara. Sakura bent over. Hinata giggled. "Let's go."
