Tokuno staggered out of bed the next afternoon. His feet hit the cold floor and he winced. It sent shivers up his spine. Grabbing some clothes he moved into the bathroom. Having the house to himself was odd. Always before either Destiny or Gohma was there as well. Always before the background held noise. Not now though. He sighed and stood under the stream of hot water. His pale skin taking on a red tone as it washed over him.

Tokuno sat in his study hours long past. The silence pressed in on him for the first time in a long while. He missed the sound of Machante's voice. Her smartass remarks. The look of her pale skin. He missed her completely. So to drown the thoughts out as best he could he set about working on another scroll. Scripting it all down perfectly. Soon his fingers were stained and the scroll sat drying on one of his shelves. He sighed softly and leaned back to look at the ceiling.

Tokuno stood quite suddenly. He was unable to stop thinking about Machante, and rather than fight the thoughts he gave in and decided to visit. He walked quickly out of the house and left for Akayashi's.

Tokuno slipped out of the shower. His hair hung loosly down around his face where it was wet. Shaking his head a bit he watched droplets of water hit the walls and fall to the floor in uneven lines. He laughed and grabbed a towel to dry off.
Moments later he stood fully dressed in his study. His eyes drifting around the books. Looking at no particular one.

*Machante stretched slowly and walked over to what Akayashi told her was Tokuno's house; well Ghoma's too, but she really didn't see him anymore. She shrugged and knocked on the door.*

Tokuno turned surprised when he heard the knock. "Who the hell could that be." He muttered to himself as he walked into the living room. Opening the door he brightened immediately. "Morning." He greeted with a grin.

*Machante nodded and smiled. She placed her hands on her hips and looked impatiently at Tokuno, but kept a smirk on her face.* "Hmmm, not that the outside isn't my style, but were you gonna invite me in, or what?"

"Oh... Er... Yeah!" He grinned and grabbed her by the hand. "Well this is um... Home." He gestured around the living room and then the kitchen. "Its small, tidy, and wall-less over there." He shut the door silently and glanced towards where there was once a supporting wall. "So what brings you around here? Usually I have to come to you." He smirked and ran a hand through his slightly damp hair.

*She shrugged and began to ruffle his hair again.* "Nah, I decided to finally see where you live. It's nice....you know, once you clean it up a bit."

"Its not much, but it is home." He shrugged as well. "Doesn't really matter to me. I live in two rooms. My study and then when I decide to go sleep in bed and not at my desk; My room."

*Her face brightened curiously once he mentioned "study." She grinned and happily crossed her arms.* "So, where's your study?"

"Well..." He replied. After a moment he grinned. "Through here." He walked through the kitchen and came to the hall way that shot back towards the bathroom and bedrooms. A door loomed at the mouth of the hallway. Opening it slowly he came upon a room lined with shelves. On the shelves sat a small library worth of books. "This is the main part; but there is also a room behind one of the bookcases where I keep the scrolls.

*Machante was in awe of his study. She quickly rummaged through all of his books, all which interested her. It seemed small to Tokuno, but his was way bigger than hers. She turned back to Tokuno and grinned.* "Wow, nice study."

"Er..." He grinned and glanced towards his desk. Several different inkwells lay open with three seperate books spread out around scroll paper. "Its messy. I don't get to clean it often."

*She peered where his eyes traveled and found his messy desk. She frowned and looked back up at Tokuno who shook his head embarassed.* "You messy person! I would scold you if your books and scrolls weren't all amazing."
