Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well s**t, I thought i was almost free from that one." LT sighed embarrassingly, "Oh dont give me that look either!" LT jokingly folded his arms a turned away from her. "I uh, dont even remember what i was going to say about that comment. I would probably dig myself a hole any way." Again LT ran a hand through his hair as his three headbands blew gently on the breeze. "That jacket almost doesnt fit over my vest, i guess that means its time to lose weight!" LT laughed trying to change the subject again, knowing it was going to fail. He pulled the tray of ramen closer and hand Sayuri a bowl first, before taking his own. He broke the chop stick and placed them neatly on the bowl, saying a silent prayer before taking a water bottle from the tray and handing it to the girl again. "Actually, you are correct. I know it throws people off, but it was the way i was born. Sometimes it helps in combat, but i take most advantage from making friends with the Hatake." LT joked again, "I dont really tell this to people, but im really one of those over confident Uchiha pig heads," LT joked again, "I was born looking like this and my element was not the one my father had in plan for me, so he got rid of me. He said he could always make more kids." LT laughed again seeming like his past didnt effect him.

"D@mn it," LT growled as he knew he there was no way he could escape this, and as she edge closer to him and looked into his eye for the crimson of the sharingan, it sent a electric shock up his spine when their arms brushed. A grin went across LT's face as he knew she would not find his sharingan unless he activated it. "You know what look im talking about. Your DOING it right there, AGAIN! And what i meant... er, about that uh, comment, was that er, uh, i meant... that..." LT blushed, gulped and took a breath, knowing he was looking like an idiot for stumbling over his words. He had no problem killing a man or a hundred men for that matter, but when it came to this, LT just fell apart. "..that your very pretty!? So that makes you easy on the eyes, by that um, i mean very pleasant to look at? AW CR@P." There it was, he knew she hated men, cause all they did were act like beasts, and LT brought up looks, and this is where the hole started to open. He feared for what she was going to say next. "OH! no no no! i didnt men your fat at all, you see i was just saying that im big, and your tiny, well your not tiny just the right size, i mean not the right siz- Ah forget it.... You see what i mean about digging whole for myself now?"
None of that mattered now as he just gazed into her eyes, "Yes, my biological father was a fool, but hey im not complaining. Im happy hear, I have a village i would give my life for, and people who would do the same for me. I have students, friends, an adopted family that is just amazing. Im kinda happy things turned out the way they did." LT made sure he didnt mention how much he lost that went with everything he gained. LT still locked into his gaze with her, hoping that nothing would break her trust in him. This is a big step for her, she was willing to reach out and trust a man. The kind of people she loathed... She might have a fulfilling life yet if she keeps this up.

"D@mn skippy it was hard to say. Im not very good with words as you can see, im usually the silent one." When she scooted closer LT froze and felt his heart racing faster. Her soft fingers touching the back of his gloved hand made him feel like some one set fire to him from the inside out. And when she looked to the sky, the warm afternoon sun enhanced her features. Her blue eyes looked like sapphires in the gold orange light. The site took his breath away, and made him sigh. 'How could some one hurt a girl like Sayuri. She didn't deserve that, She deserved better than that, and better than the credit she gives herself.' It made LT remember what he fought for, his nindo down to the end, what he really fought for, was the future. He blushed deeper when she made the sensei comment and would 'over look that' comment he made ad he wondered how deep of a hole he was in already. Still he couldn't help but chuckle about it. Then he listened to her explaination of her way with little food. He couldn't force the girl to eat, but it still worried him about what little amount she did. He let out a sighed as she gave her reasons for the lack of food improving her. But when she made her 'I trust you comment' LT just froze, "Are you sure? Are you sure you want to trust me? I thought you couldn't trust men cause we just end up hurting you in the end? I-I mean im honored by your trust, but i just dont want you saying this and having it not be true." LT searched her face for an answer with his soft brown eyes, after a couple of seconds his gaze feel to her wrist which was touching his. With his far hand he leaned over and picked her arm up and put his thumb and index finger around her wrist and drew in a breath, "D@mn girl you need to eat! Look at this!" he exclaimed showing her, her skinny wrist. "You'll make Nikko disappointed if you dont eat anything." LT knew by making this comment about her wrist that he took a chance and probably broke the mood, but it was only in his interest to help Sayuri find a way out of answering his 'are you sure question'. But still, LT was just happy enough to make her laugh. Her laugh sounded like bells and was very sweet. He couldnt wait to make her laugh again.

(( Im kinda pissed, i had this really really long post, and my internet cut out on me stare ))

It went something like How LT apologized for saying damn skippy and that he didnt know, and LT said the he would never say that around Sayuri again. He also got into how she should at the very least drink some of the broth from the ramen, and he did some puppy eyes that he knew would epically fail. But for her it was worth a shot. He tried to make her laughed again so he ruffled her hair saying something about how we need to get you stronger so you can achieve your goals, and that he liked your comment on how you want to fight and defeat murderers and bad people so know one will have to suffer what you been through. He also said that it sounded like one kick-@ss nindo. Also he said that he has seen alot of crazy people in the world and he would know a crazy when he saw one. Luo made him take a class on basic psychology.
Oh and he wanted to know why she trusts him with her heart above all things.

(( evil it made me wanna punch a baby in the face, whee but that is a clever idea using word. Fire fox is the s**t!))

LT laughed when she said with more training she could have kicked Kan's @ss. "I dont know about that one, you see i did train him. And he was one of my three best students, and even if you did train and fought him, he does have... a problem that would not let you win. Lets just say, i have no problem defeating him. But killing him would be extremely difficult even for some one like me or Luo." LT laughed though at Sayuri's haughty tone so he jokingly tried to crush it. LT fixed his gaze on the setting sun that still hung in the horizon. Its light turning the clouds gold and purple. It reminded LT of days when he was training under the previous mizukage, back when he was in a squad with Luo and Zane. Before Zane left to go train in a another country, it was around the same time Luo took his time off to go train by himself. Leaving LT alone in the village, he held the fort till Luo came back and took office as Mizukage. Of course he was extremely proud of what his squad mates accomplished, but in a way it sadden him, for he was older than both Zane and Luo, yet he never accomplished nearly as much. It made him feel like a failure LT laughed again, "Of course Luo makes us take classes. The higher in rank you go, the more you must learn. I do ok in them, im not too stellar but i do enough to survive." But when she leaned away from him, it felt like some one stripped him of his warmth, plus Tares couldn't hear what she was saying so he leaned in to hear her almost non-existent words. Catching probably every other one and noticing the bright colors flood her face made LT's heart beat rush. He couldn't read her lips due to her hand being in the way, and asking her to repeat would be to straight forward and would most likely piss her off. So LT again leaned closer, close enough that he could smell her sweet scent and almost feel her hair on his cheek, but by doing so Tares leaned in almost too far and almost fell off the building. Then she suddenly stuck her tongue out at him, and that caught LT off guard, and didn't know how to react to that, and it shouldn't have made him freeze but for some reason it did, thats when a pressure on his nose pushed him back slightly. "Son of a... Biscuit." LT yelped, "Because what?" LT challenged, "I dont think i caught what you said, could you repeat it, talking to your shoes kinda makes it hard for me to hear." His mask crinkled as he smirked answering the rise to a battle of wits. He looked into Sayuris eyes to find them to be playful yet controlled and this was a new look for her. One that he would enjoy. He caught on to what she was trying to do, so LT would try a bait her, which he wasn't very good at but LT had witnessed dozens of debates between the Sage of Heavenly Riches and the Mizukage. Maybe sitting in on those nuclear wars was going to pay off. "All i heard was that you loved me to death and thought that i was gorgeously handsome!"

Kirigakure no Sato║Suiton║Byakugan Doujutsu (Dormant)║Hyuuga Clan║Academy Student

xxxxTayuri scoffed, rolling her eyes at LT’s first words. Yeah, right. Honestly, Kanzuki was an idiot, and Sayuri knew it wouldn’t be too hard to beat his a** once she got started with a battle of pure strategy and wits. Wits were something that Sayuri always had about her, no matter what was happening. It was the biggest difference between her and Shayera growing up. Sayuri would usually think things through before jumping into action, Shay would just charge blindly forward.
xxxx“Kanzuki is a fool. There is nothing that will help him against me in our next rematch. He’s just like my sister and my father were. He’s ruled by his emotions. Idiot. He let his anger get the best of him and charged headfirst into a fight. He jumped over a cliff, so to speak, without checking the bottom for pointy rocks.” Her voice was cruel as she deadpanned the promising words. Her voice was abruptly seething with anger, still flustered that the idiot had been able to catch Sayuri off guard, let alone nearly stab her in the abdomen with a large sword. If only she’d started her training. If only… Her immaturity had shaken Tares, she saw that much and relished it, smiling with an almost sickening innocence. His loss of balance made her smile widen as she looked at him with mock-innocent eyes. “Well, you know how it goes. My shoes were just so interested in the discussion that I just couldn’t help myself.” She laughed at herself quietly as she leaned back onto her elbows once more, a posture that was quickly becoming habit for her. Sayuri momentarily flushed a light pink and made a face at LT when he teased her about what he’d seemingly heard her say. In a millisecond, though, the false innocence was back in place. “But sensei, that’s exactly what I said!” She rolled her eyes before reaching her right hand over and wrapping it around his left, the thick fabric of her glove making the action nothing more than a pale reflection of the fireworks caused by mutual affection and attraction. She sobered quickly, however, and looked into his eyes, caught up in the depths and richness of the color as she spoke. “You saved me from that idiot Genin. I provoked him. I have no doubt in my mind that he would have killed me, given the opportunity, regardless of the fact that we are both of the Mist village. You earned my respect, my trust. As for trusting you with my heart…” Her voice dropped to a whisper. “You care. It’s been a long time since I met anyone who cared.” Her small, slender hand was trembling slightly as Sayuri reached up to rest her palm against the side of LT’s face. She gently hooked her index finger under the cloth of his mask, not pulling it down, but making sure that it would come off if he pushed her hand away. The only two ways her hand would leave his face would be: 1. if he somehow managed to unhook her finger and move away from her before she could move again, 2. if he showed her himself, or 3. if he allowed her to pull down the dark cloth. “If you’re sick of masks, why do you wear one? Will you show me?”
xxxxThere was no doubt in her mind that he would know what she meant and push her hand away. They were so close that she found herself counting his eyelashes as she stared into his eyes. Her light blue ones traced over his face while she memorized everything that was visible: the rich, dark shade of his brown eyes, the planes and angles of his face and forehead, his silvery hair that was playing around is face in the light breeze. There was something in his eyes, though. Something that troubled her after seeing in her sister’s eyes for years. It was the expression that troubled Shay when she was called a failure. And there was a challenge.
xxxxThe two things were everything that Sayuri couldn’t resist. It was everything she needed to make up her mind. She would make a difference in this man, if no one else. And she would do it by any means necessary.


[OoC: I know it’s clever. I’m a genius. Be jealous ^^ Lol jk.

Oh and Tsubaka, Sayuri and LT are on the roof. I’m not saying that you can’t see them, but he’d have to be outside and looking up.]
