Airi’s Saturday dance class had just let out roughly ten minutes ago. She’d planned on going straight home, so she didn’t really bother packing a change of clothes so she could wander around or stop anywhere. She’d just slipped through the alleyway that had become a routine part of her shortcut home when the sky opened up and began to pour. The rain was coming down harder than she’d anticipated, and if she stopped even to open her umbrella, she’d certainly be soaked. Spying one of the run-down, owner-less buildings on the street, Airi made a beeline for the pane-less window that had somehow yet to be boarded up, and swung her legs over the windowsill.

Her dance bag landed on the floor before her feet did. It was notably dusty inside, and almost bereft save for empty, barely-clean display counters and broken tables and chairs that appeared to not be worth taking. It seemed like it had been some sort of bakery at one point. Airi’s athletic shoes squelched on the tile floor as she made her way to the front of the shop to see if she had to leave the same way she came in. She’d probably wait a few minutes just to dry off before venturing out again.

Sighing, Airi wrung out her ponytail, internally mourning her scrunchie if it didn’t survive the soaking it endured. She let loose the damp wave of blonde curls she called her hair to let it dry faster, and much to her surprise, saw Kyo settled under the awning of the same building. Weird coincidence, I suppose. 

Kyo had yet to make any move towards entering the storefront, and he’d almost certainly be in for a fever if he didn’t get inside. She unlocked the front door and called out for him to come inside. His confusion was apparenty, and he was just as surprised, if not more, to see her. He started to explain why he needed to take shelter, and though she did care to know why, she was a little surprised he felt the need to tell her.

          renae always tired to act tough ; apparntly even with a nasty fever.      ; ;      it wasn’t like she had never been sick before, in fact she had been often in her childhood. she lived in flith, she had a harsh and unfair life, being sick came along with that. so, she was used to taking care of herself. not someone fussing over her and worrying about her. getting so sick and feverish that she passed out? yeah, it had happened before. but she had never had someone around to react, worry and want to take care of her. even in her fever state of mind, confused and dizzy, she had no idea how to feel or react to it.

❃ With Kyo having been gone to classes, Deidara took it upon himself to head to the fish market and pick up fresh salmon. Preparing it was a breeze, as he’d done it so many times on his own. Arguably easier considering he was in a kitchen and not the wilderness. The apartment smelled delicious, like freshly grilled salmon with seasonings, just a little spicy. The blonde loved spicy food but tried to keep it somewhat neutral for Kyo.   When he finally game home it was all ready.

      KYO WAS AS SHARP AS EVER --- and Naruto knew better than anyone that he wasn’t stupid either. He knew that he would be digging himself into a deeper hole the more that he talked and the further he tried to exaggerate his current story, but if there was some way to evade the topic that was about to arise, he’d take that chance in a heartbeat and run with it. That --- encounter wasn’t anything that he couldn’t handle, though it was something that would weigh on his heart for a while as he sorted through the ( i n t e n s i t y ) and mental strain of that meeting. 

                           C’mon Naruto, just keep acting like yourself!

"Well ya got a real funny way of showin' it Kagura." Kyo grumbled as he turned to face the boar zodiac. "Ya damn well tossed me through one of the second story windows. I could'a broken so many bones on the way down if my reflexes weren't what they were."
