Turning to Anko he lifted his Hitai Ate and revealed the Sharingan.

"Maa there I thought you just invented a new jutsu to copy" he said sounding disappointed. With a sigh he put the Hitai Ate back in place and covered the Sharingan.

"Kill me, then," Sasuke smirked, feeling a little humorous tonight," maybe that will help you get over those feelings."

It's a shame that he was beginning to take a liking to the woman as well, but he knew his place: his reputation. There's little he can do to fix someone's opinions other than further perpetuate what was already leveraged against him.

"Special delivery~"

He sing-songed, skidding to a halt nearly an inch before her. Any more reckless and he might have ran straight into her, but years of training wouldn't see him making such an amateur mistake.

Mappa Mundi - “Sexafari”

It's been a long, tiring day - with four new litters of nindog puppies to wrangle, it's been all hands on deck at the Inazuka compound. He'd roped in his teammates immediately to help deal with the chaos and carnage that over two dozen puppies create, but even then, there's hardly been a chance for a break.

But, with all puppies safe and secure in their dens, well fed and sleeping soundly, at last he can relax.

Shino has already left for home - as fond as he is of creatures great and small, there's only so much yapping and nipping a person can take in a day - but Hinata remains, helping with the cleanup no doubt. He knows he should join her, if not tell her to go home and rest, but he cannot bring himself to get up from the couch now that he's down.

Akamaru is similarily drained - the big white dog is flopped on his side, chest softly rising and falling as he snoozes away on the rug. Now that is a great idea, Kiba thinks to himself, his own eyelids feeling suddenly heavy.

He must have drifted off, as the next thing he knows, there are soft lips against his forehead and gentle hands upon his cheeks. He knows that scent anywhere - so familiar and comforting, like a warm blanket on a cold night. His lips curve into a smile and his eyes blink open, finding her lilac gaze hovering just above.

Atieno offers a slight nod of understanding.

"Ah, people being impatient with how you talk huh? Wish I could be surprised. But I'm not really..." they give a small tsk, almost frustrated at the thought of Ula having to talk faster.

It was unusual for the two of them to hang around each other without Akashi around since they in their own ways liked Akashi as a friend. But both of them were still in Tokyo and on this day, their paths had crossed. Oho Asa was right once again. It said a person from his past will cross paths with him... The moment he left the grocery store, they encountered one another. Oho Asa's lucky item of the day for Cancers was a lemon tea flavored taiyaki and Shintarō did not open the package. He simply carried it using his right hand. He shouldn't have left the house today if he knew Murasakibara was going to be a nuisance but he needed his lucky item... The Purple Giant had been following him since he noticed the package in his arm and Shintarō was doing his utmost best to ignore him. It was clear what he wanted but he wasn't going to give it that easily.

"Murasakibara, if you want this package at the end of the day then you may have it nanodayo. I care not whether you eat it even when it is crushed and crumbled. All I need is for it to last until the end of the day nanodayo."

" hinata ~ ! " an exclamation.  " i am heading to the local market. mother needs some ingredient for a receipt she discovered. "  he mentioned, before continuating.  " if you are headed that way, may i tag along?  "
