Liz

“Hmmm… Well, I do not think there are any beaches within the Soul Society, Liz. I twill take me a bit of time to get approved for a bit of time off to go to the world of the living.” The brunet responded honestly.

“I know and im aware of that. I just want to do something fun other then paper work and you know how fast i work ever since you took me in. Plus it seems the headcaptain enjoys having me in your squad”

“I am glad that he allowed you to be assigned to my squad as well.” The brunet responded quietly, a slightly amused expression appearing on his face “Paperwork is a necessary evil.”

"It is" she pouted slightly. "Im sure the head captain wont mind if we take a few days off right?"

“Hmmm… Well, I do not think there are any beaches within the Soul Society, Liz. I twill take me a bit of time to get approved for a bit of time off to go to the world of the living.” The brunet responded honestly.

"I know and im aware of that. I just want to do something fun other then paper work and you know how fast i work ever since you took me in. Plus it seems the headcaptain enjoys having me in your squad"

Liz smiled and shook his hand and watched him walk off. “You weren’t kidding on him being a family member, but i really didn’t know that you were his uncle” She said looking up at Tobirama.

He smiled, but it was more of a pained smile. “Yeah….” He looked back just in time to watch him turn the corner to the street heading towards the train station. “Yeah, That I am.”

Liz tilted her head. “whats wrong? You have this look that something bad happened” she said looking up at him. She didnt know why though.

He looked back and gave a weak smile. “Yeah, something like that. But, it is not my place to tell you, that would be his job” he lowered his head and sighed. “Anyhow. Enjoy your book will you? I’ll see you at the party!”

“Hey Tobirama?‘thanks for everything. If i didnt meet you i wouldn’t have met him.” She smiled at him. “Also if there is anything i can do to help i’ll be happy to try to help.”

He pondered that for a moment, then smiled. “If you could bring some drinks, like some water or maybe some soda?” He shrugged at his suggestion. “But if you can’t that’s fine!”

She smiled. "I can do that." She smiled up at him. "Anything else?" She asked writing the stuff down so she wouldn't forget. It wasnt like she forgets stuff, she just had a habit of wrighting things down.

Liz had been following the male for some time. She really didnt want to fightunless she needed to. She just wanted to see what the male was up to. When she heard him stop she did to, hiding in the shadows. But still being new about following someone she failed to hide her herself completly. She came out of the shadows and just stood there on the tree branch . A strand of her red hair fell in her face. She said no word and looked at the male.

The silence did nothing but infuriate the male even more. “Speak up.” He grit out from his tightly clinched jaw. Zabuza was normally way better with controlling his temper, but he was more on wdge than normal. “Tell me, did anyone send you? Just make this easier for the both of us.”

Liz stood the in silenc for a bit longer before speaking. Her tone was calm and quiet, but it was loud enough for her to be heard. “No… I cam on my own.” She replied not looking away from him.

Liz showed no intrest in grapping her weapons. She would try to be civil on this one. She was glad that he decided not to attack her right then & there. She looked as she hopped down to me on ground level. "I have my reasons"

Liz smiled and shook his hand and watched him walk off. “You weren’t kidding on him being a family member, but i really didn’t know that you were his uncle” She said looking up at Tobirama.

He smiled, but it was more of a pained smile. “Yeah….” He looked back just in time to watch him turn the corner to the street heading towards the train station. “Yeah, That I am.”

"Hey Tobirama?'thanks for everything. If i didnt meet you i wouldn't have met him." She smiled at him. "Also if there is anything i can do to help i'll be happy to try to help."

Liz smiled and shook his hand and watched him walk off. “You weren’t kidding on him being a family member, but i really didn’t know that you were his uncle” She said looking up at Tobirama.

Liz smiled and shook his hand and watched him walk off. “You weren’t kidding on him being a family member, but i really didn’t know that you were his uncle” She said looking up at Tobirama.

Tobirama was an avid reader. In his time after the war he had become a member of the council which meant when he wasn’t working out or assisting in his duties he was typically reading with one of his friends or alone. There was a specific book shop he enjoyed going to, and as always quiet and empty. He took a deep breath and entered, heading straight for the thriller and mystery sections.

Liz passed a few more shops till she came across a book the store that she really never been in it. She stopped and stood there for a second before walking in. Her eyes lit up when she saw the books. She liked it due to it was quiet unlike the other stores she was in. She looked around enjoying the place. There were some books that the store had, she never seen before. She picked up one and flipped through it.

Tobirama had found 3 books which fit his fancy. As he was heading down another aisle he met a woman he had yet to see in the bookstore before. He didn’t want to seem like a creep, but he did enjoy conversing about other people’s preference in literature. Approaching the woman, Tobirama smiled and offered her a suggestion on some titles for the genre she was currently in.

Liz looked up. A strand of red hair fell in her face when she heard a male talk to her. She had a few new books that she had been looking for. One of them was even the newest mystery book that she was dying to get. “I never really liked that book…” She said in a quiet shy tone.

He looked down, eyeing two of the three books in his hand. Both were new releases. He held them up for her to see. “Is it either one of these?” he questioned, more than happy to give them to her if it meant she would come back.

Lshe looked over at the books that he was holding up. One of them was the one that she has been looking for. She looked up at the male. “The one on the left is the one that I can’t find.” She said. She held the books she had close to her.

He smiled and offered her the book. “Here ya go. Special order, it’s even signed.” he didn’t tell her that he had 2 more copies lying behind the counter. That would defeat the purpose of doing a act of kindness.

Liz blinked. She was surprised that he would offer an autograph copy. “T-thanks..” She said with a smile. She was happy to have the book but she kinda felt badfor taking it. “Though are you sure? I hate to take it”

He nodded, scratching the back of his head. “I-uhm- I know the author.” he said with an emberrased smile. “He’s my gra- well, his relation doesn’t matter. He is a family member”

Her eyes lite up more. Not only did this guy have the book she was looking for all over the place, he knew the author. “You are so lucky! I alwas wanted to meet them but never got a chance to due to some personal issues”

He smiled, shaking his head. “It’s not anything too great. The kid was a natural. He wrote his first full length book at 15.” He laughed a bit, returning to scratching his head. “Say, would you like to meet him? I can schedule a meet date that fits both of your schedules”

She blinked. She tried to move the strand of hair but it fell in her face once again. “I would love that!” She said with a smile. She couldn’t believe her luck. She found a nice guy that had given her a book that she was looking for a while & now she would meet her favorite author.

“That’s great!” he was in luck, maybe this woman would actually like him so he would get out of his cave. “I just want you to know that most people expect him to be this nice small timid man…. But he is quite large. Like almost body builder size.”

She chuckled. “Everyone has their own vision of people. Even i do at times” she smiled at him. “he seems nice and i dont judge on what they look like. Every one has their own looks”

He smiled, placing a hand on his hips. “Alright, well he is doing a book signing here in Konoha at the academy in 4 days. Think you can come?”

“Yea, should be easy” she said pulling out a small book and writing it down she she wouldn’t forget. She put it in her bag that she brought with her.

“Alright! I’ll see you there? He questioned one last time as he got his own copy of the book and checked out.

She followed him up to the front and bought her books. “Yes, wouldn’t miss it for the world. Oh also, i never gave you my name. I’m Liz” she said as she put the books in her bag for safe keeping.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Tobirama” he said, smiling. He offered her his hand to shake. Afterward placing his books in his laptop case.

She took it and shook it with a smile. “its nice meeting you Tobirama. I shall see you again in 4 days?” She asked as a few more strands of hair fell when she tilted her head to the side.

“Yep!” he chimed. “At the academy!” he smiled, waving goodbye as he headed back home to his grandson, Feng Senju.

Four days later Liz had managed to get the rest of the day off from work. She walked up to the academy. It had been a while since she was there. “hasn’t changed since i left” she said out loud not caring if anyone heard her. Her hair was in a ponytail this time to keep it out of her face.

Tobirama was inside, his hair in a man bun as usual. He wore his black and blue pinstripe suit with a blue tie. The crowd had been much bigger than they had expected and actually had to bring 10 more cases of 30 books.

Liz walked in. She wasnt a bit surprised when she saw the line. It was typical for stuff like this. She mostly kept to the back as the line moved. She heard a few people talking when they walked by with books.

By the end of the line, there were only 7 people remaining. It had taken 3 hours, and in those 3 relentless, merciless, ungodly hours, Tobirama had begun to give up hope that Liz would show up. That is until he spotted her at the back of the line.

Liz let a few people that came late infront of her. She looked up and smiled when she saw Tobirama. She hopped that she didnt make him think that she wasn’t going show. That would be bad.

The last woman was up before Liz, Feng finally feeling that he would be able to relax. Once Liz was at the table, Feng looked up at her enthusiastically, but you could tell he was exhausted. “Who should I make this out to?” he asked with a dazzling smile.

“Liz, but you can rest if you want, i’m in no hurry” she replied with a smile. She picked up on the tiredness and really hopped that the male would take a short break. She looked over at Tobirama.

Liz blinked and looked at the both of them. She raised an eyebrow when she heard that Tobirama was his uncle. Though she didnt dare to ask. “Thanks” she smiles and puts the book in her bag.

“You’re very welcome. Tomorrow I’m hosting a party if you would like to come?” Feng questioned, careful not to scare the woman away.

“That sounds fun. I got tomorrow from work anyways” lshe smiled at him. She couldn’t believe her luck now.

He smiled and nodded. "Great!” he wrote down the address, it Being in the richest part of town where nearly all of the Senju family lived. “Just come to this address and tell them you’re invited by Feng Senju!”

She blinked when she saw the address. It was in an area that she always wanted to explore. "thank you so much." She said. As she put that in the pocket of her bag so it wouldn't get lost.

Tobirama was an avid reader. In his time after the war he had become a member of the council which meant when he wasn’t working out or assisting in his duties he was typically reading with one of his friends or alone. There was a specific book shop he enjoyed going to, and as always quiet and empty. He took a deep breath and entered, heading straight for the thriller and mystery sections.

Liz passed a few more shops till she came across a book the store that she really never been in it. She stopped and stood there for a second before walking in. Her eyes lit up when she saw the books. She liked it due to it was quiet unlike the other stores she was in. She looked around enjoying the place. There were some books that the store had, she never seen before. She picked up one and flipped through it.

Tobirama had found 3 books which fit his fancy. As he was heading down another aisle he met a woman he had yet to see in the bookstore before. He didn’t want to seem like a creep, but he did enjoy conversing about other people’s preference in literature. Approaching the woman, Tobirama smiled and offered her a suggestion on some titles for the genre she was currently in.

Liz looked up. A strand of red hair fell in her face when she heard a male talk to her. She had a few new books that she had been looking for. One of them was even the newest mystery book that she was dying to get. “I never really liked that book…” She said in a quiet shy tone.

He looked down, eyeing two of the three books in his hand. Both were new releases. He held them up for her to see. “Is it either one of these?” he questioned, more than happy to give them to her if it meant she would come back.

Lshe looked over at the books that he was holding up. One of them was the one that she has been looking for. She looked up at the male. “The one on the left is the one that I can’t find.” She said. She held the books she had close to her.

He smiled and offered her the book. “Here ya go. Special order, it’s even signed.” he didn’t tell her that he had 2 more copies lying behind the counter. That would defeat the purpose of doing a act of kindness.

Liz blinked. She was surprised that he would offer an autograph copy. “T-thanks..” She said with a smile. She was happy to have the book but she kinda felt badfor taking it. “Though are you sure? I hate to take it”

He nodded, scratching the back of his head. “I-uhm- I know the author.” he said with an emberrased smile. “He’s my gra- well, his relation doesn’t matter. He is a family member”

Her eyes lite up more. Not only did this guy have the book she was looking for all over the place, he knew the author. “You are so lucky! I alwas wanted to meet them but never got a chance to due to some personal issues”

He smiled, shaking his head. “It’s not anything too great. The kid was a natural. He wrote his first full length book at 15.” He laughed a bit, returning to scratching his head. “Say, would you like to meet him? I can schedule a meet date that fits both of your schedules”

She blinked. She tried to move the strand of hair but it fell in her face once again. “I would love that!” She said with a smile. She couldn’t believe her luck. She found a nice guy that had given her a book that she was looking for a while & now she would meet her favorite author.

“That’s great!” he was in luck, maybe this woman would actually like him so he would get out of his cave. “I just want you to know that most people expect him to be this nice small timid man…. But he is quite large. Like almost body builder size.”

She chuckled. “Everyone has their own vision of people. Even i do at times” she smiled at him. “he seems nice and i dont judge on what they look like. Every one has their own looks”

He smiled, placing a hand on his hips. “Alright, well he is doing a book signing here in Konoha at the academy in 4 days. Think you can come?”

“Yea, should be easy” she said pulling out a small book and writing it down she she wouldn’t forget. She put it in her bag that she brought with her.

“Alright! I’ll see you there? He questioned one last time as he got his own copy of the book and checked out.

She followed him up to the front and bought her books. “Yes, wouldn’t miss it for the world. Oh also, i never gave you my name. I’m Liz” she said as she put the books in her bag for safe keeping.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Tobirama” he said, smiling. He offered her his hand to shake. Afterward placing his books in his laptop case.

She took it and shook it with a smile. “its nice meeting you Tobirama. I shall see you again in 4 days?” She asked as a few more strands of hair fell when she tilted her head to the side.

“Yep!” he chimed. “At the academy!” he smiled, waving goodbye as he headed back home to his grandson, Feng Senju.

Four days later Liz had managed to get the rest of the day off from work. She walked up to the academy. It had been a while since she was there. “hasn’t changed since i left” she said out loud not caring if anyone heard her. Her hair was in a ponytail this time to keep it out of her face.

Tobirama was inside, his hair in a man bun as usual. He wore his black and blue pinstripe suit with a blue tie. The crowd had been much bigger than they had expected and actually had to bring 10 more cases of 30 books.

Liz walked in. She wasnt a bit surprised when she saw the line. It was typical for stuff like this. She mostly kept to the back as the line moved. She heard a few people talking when they walked by with books.

By the end of the line, there were only 7 people remaining. It had taken 3 hours, and in those 3 relentless, merciless, ungodly hours, Tobirama had begun to give up hope that Liz would show up. That is until he spotted her at the back of the line.

Liz let a few people that came late infront of her. She looked up and smiled when she saw Tobirama. She hopped that she didnt make him think that she wasn't going show. That would be bad.
