Welcome to Gaia! ::

Axel finished his meal and sighed from relief. "That was delicious!" Axel exclaimed as he turned to Sosay. "Okay okay, I know you're tough...actually to be honest, I thought you would have slapped me across the face when I approached you back at the market," he laughed embarassingly as he scratched the back of his head.

"No it was just after what had happened between me and your brother...I thought you would have been angry with me," Axel responded as Nikko rejected Sosay's money and shaking his head. "Oh...I paid him already, so don't worry about it," Axel told her. He had paid him when his food was brought to him.

Axel smiled as he rose up, taking his long black robe and placing it over him. "I should probably be on my way...your brother should be leaving soon too for the chuunin exams," Axel stated. This is the what all of his training was for...and he would pass no matter what.

Axel's eyes suddenly turned in the shape of hearts as they seem to bulge out when Sosay hugged him. As she whispered in his ear, his face turned as red as his hair. When she pulled away, he regained his composure, not wanting to look like a complete fool. "I will...and don't worry, we'll both be back as chuunins," Axel told her as he began walking away, turning back to wave goodbye. It was time to head out, but Kai was still in the village. He needed to ensure that he left soon as well. Going into a dead run, Axel headed in Kai's direction.

"Don't get in my way, I'm nto afraid to kill you too!"

Axel entered Nikko's sushi den, and it was simply packed. Everyone decided to go out celebrating. The hostess walked up to Axel and asked how many in the party. When he told her that the Mizukage herself was eating with them, the hostess quickly ran over and got a booth set up. Axel walked on over to the booth, Sosay behind him and went ahead and sat on the inside. Thanking the hostess, he waited for the others to arrive.

"Well you are the Mizukage Sosay, everyone knows that," he told her simply. "Besides, we wouldn't have gotten a table this soon without me letting them know that you were the Kage. And don't worry about the hostess, I slipped her a pretty decent tip when she wasn't looking...I made quite a bit of money from Zane from that last mission I went on. And I should have too...I risked my life about four times during that," he sighed. The waitress arrived at the table and greeted them with a warm smile after giving a deep bow to Sosay. Asking what they wanted to drink, Axel responded with "Dr. Pepper..." he told her as he waited for Sosay to say her drink.

"Oh...it was nothing..." he told her as he recounted the times in his head. It actually wasn't just nothing...his arm was completely broken in Sound, was taken hostage in Sand, had to take on Anbu in Cloud and then had finally he had ran into a menacingly powerful shinobi that still filled him with fear simply recalling it. He held her hand gently as the waitress came back with their drinks.
