I sigh and look up, "No I'll collect them this time."

I put in my final item of clothing, and take a brown bag from a drawer before walking up to the herbs.

I carry on packing the clothes. Lately she had been getting these sudden urges to move. I followed of course. Mina was the only family I had left.

I looked at the plants, "Sorry guys I'm going to have to leave you here." I begin to gather seeds from them.

.(.Kitsune_Masakazu.). Psychofish Kojiro grimaced, shrugging as he walked. He was not one much for small talk, and while he'd answer the majority of questions, he didn't really care too much to ask any, nor know where to start speaking about himself. "Well... I'm from Kirigakure... I'm a blind gennin... sixteen years old..." he shrugged uncomfortably again. "What am I supposed to say?" Kojiro kept close walking, giving her enough space so as not to make either of them uncomfortable, but tailing fairly closely. "I... don't know what I'd ask either... is there something I'm supposed to say..." he practically squirmed. When was the last time he'd exchanged more than a full five words at a time for someone? Or spoken at all for non-practicality and mission or training related purposes? He had really become a recluse since he'd become blind and taken up living away from the rest of his family.
Kaida decided turned the corner, the store she wanted just coming within view. "Like, for me, I like to drink and run around. I like my family, even if they are crazy, and I like the outside. I don't like crowds, or bullies, or people who discriminate against others just because of their appearance. If you couldn't already tell, I'm from Konoha." She gestured to the hitai-ate at her waist.
"My family is loud, crazy and can sweep you off your feet if you aren't careful. My parents are a whirlwind of chaos, which has been bred into just about everyone except me. Most times." She pursed her lips in thought for a moment, then took up her thread again. "They can be annoying at times, but it's nice to know their there for me. And, of course, I still live with them."
She spun around, and started to walk backwards. "Okay, so your turn. I just answered about every question I listed off for you, so now you get to answer them for me." Her eyes glittered with amusement."Ah... okay... well, umm..." Kojiro was taken aback, thrown way off despite not being able to see the hitai-ate she gestured to, or the amusement in her eyes. "I... well, I don't like crowds, or even places with a lot of people too near each other, like the villiage here seems to be, more so than Kirigakure at least. I've... never put a lot of thought to what I like or do not like, I suppose I could think of something, but not a lot else than that stands out... um... I do like quiet, secluded places, especially in nature, best if there's a river or something." Kojiro wondered why exactly he continued to speak as he did, though maybe it was just because he felt backed into a corner. "I had a tiny old apartment of my own back in Mist, nearer the edge of the city. I moved away from my family several years ago, as soon as I could live on my own after going blind. They were... kind of average, I suppose. There was a little bit of... strict pusing toward accomplishment, and I guess that's rubbed off on me some. Not being blind, I would have been jonin by now, almost certainly, and I'm spend most of my time now... trying to make up for lost time." Kojiro shrugged, starting to feel a little bit more relaxed, if only slightly. "Well.. I-I think that's everything you wanted to know... oh, my eyes... well... that's kind of a long story, but it was an injury during a mission, several years ago. I wouldn't bother you with details." Not usually self concious about his blindness, he suddenly did start to feel a little so, though it was as confusing to him as everything else.

I take the seeds down, wrapped them up and put them in my ruck sack and help my sister with doing the food. We prepared in silence, as if it were a ritual

Watching Miriam put the food into the ruck sacks I nodded. Then I looked outside. It was getting dark.

"Yes," I replied and slipped the ruck sack onto my shoulders. Then I headed for the door slipping on my shoes before walking out. I waited for my sister.

I followed my sister and also slipped on my shoes. I locked the door behind me not with the key but with a seal that only a Speacial Jounin would be able to open. I turned back to Mina nodded and then started walking.

I smiled slightly. She wasn't too happy about this at all. I walked behind her for a while takeing a map from my pocket. Fifty miles north was the Hidden Sound Village, that is if we left from the north gate. The North Gate wasn't that far, but it was the main gate out of Konoha with the Hokage Mountain to the left, we headed for it.

I still didn't understand why we had to leave. Wasn't we doing just fine here? Why. Damn, and we were leaving under the cover of darkness to. I felt like a missing-nin already. Even if I wasn't a ninja. We reached the north gate pretty quickly. Four Chuunin's for posted at the gate, two above, two below. It was also still open. We walked towards it.
