Now that apologies were said, Ibara thought that now would be a good time to see how Kinami was doing. He walked up to the door that she had gone through, and knocked on it a few time. "Hey, Sis! Apologies have been said." Ibara then walked back to where he had started, knowing that Kinami would only come out when she was ready.

Mat and Tai both cringed identically at the damage Kinami had done. It would take a while to clean things up, and others would have to be replaced completely...but, all in all, she hadn't done as much damage as the last time she had thrown a fit in someone else's abode. That last time, in their apartment, the only thing that came out of it all was a load of firewood splinters. Sometimes having a powerful friend had its downfalls.
They all ignored Ibara's message. Kinami herself was just starting to calm down enough to form coherent sentences without being blinded by her emotions or her painful headache. She would always get one, somehow, around a week after she had a large episode of flashbacks. She was no stranger to them- and Mat knew the exact cure.
The gangly man walked forward and offered her a cup of mint-laced tea. It had a few medicinal herbs added to it, and Kinami sipped it gratefully, surveying the damage she had done. Tai cautiously walked back towards them, stepping delicately because he remembered he had blown up at her himself.
Shaking her head, Kinami apologized profusely. "I'm really sorry, again." She winced, but could already feel her headache leaving. "I shouldn't have done that..."
Tai interrupted her. "Pfft. You needed it." The brunette Kage could tell he was trying to pull off an indifferent attitude and was failing miserably. "Just remember that you ought to return the favor, and keep in mind who your friends are."
Kinami leaned against the counter where various pots and pans were twisted and mutilated. "It doesn't excuse my behavior."
Mat rested beside her, and Tai wriggled in behind him to hold his lover. Mat held his hand. "At least you left the wood alone this time," he said with a wry smile.
Kinami let out a small laugh. "Yeah." She stood there in silence with them, enjoying their company. She really didn't get to see them so often. When she decided that her headache had dissipated enough to face her unruly genin team (unruly only in her mind...with the exception of Roy, who was a rebel at all times). She pushed herself off the counter and made to try and help them clean up.
"Don't bother, we'll clean up fine. It wouldn't be the first time." Tai brushed off her help from where he stood, not bothering to move. "Just put out the closed sign, and shoo out anyone who wants food for a while. We'll be fine."
Kinami shrugged. "Less work for me, then." She shared a smile with them as they both let out peals of laughter, knowing just how lazy she could be. Then she waved them off and entered the restaurant once more. She walked over and flipped the sign from open to closed, then walked back over to her time, a smile firmly in place. "Well now, I apologize for my bad temper. I hope you'll all forgive me, and decide upon a jutsu to learn for my team, and the rest of you can...figure out someway for me to make it up for you."

Kei was shaking slightly..."Hi Lady Kage...are you feeling better?"

Roy looked to Kinami. Why...Why in the world did he have to be in love with quite possibly the craziest b***h in the entire village. He groaned for a moment and hid most of his face behind the collar of his coat. He didn't really feel like answering her question just yet...he wanted some time to survey the damage he had partial caused. Moving past her, he looked up to her for a moment and realized just how much she reminded him of his mom. With a shudder, he moved into the other room and saw the mess she had caused.
"Son...Daughter of a b***h..."he mumbled under his breath. With a colorful array of curses and hexes, he began to clean up the kitchen. He could really care less what Tai and Mat would say, this was his fault for taunting Dex and messing around. Besides, he was Kinami's psudo-aid and so it'd fall on him eventually, to come and clean all this up anyway so he figured, might as well get this over with now.

Kinami laughed and waved a hand erratically. "I'm perfectly alright now."
However, back in the kitchens, Mat and Tai watched the newcomer with different reactions. Tai immediately let go of his lover, snuck up behind the poor boy, and wrapped his arms around him. "Miss me already?" he purred in his ear. "I'm sure I could talk Yama into a three-some, hm? And Ibara could make four, easily," Tai whispered suggestively.
Mat let his forehead fall into his hand. He began wondering what possessed him to even stand the guy...then decided he already knew the answer. Before the kid could freak, he walked forward, pulled on Tai's ear until he had let go of the kid, pushed him out of the way, then turned back to him. "You don't have to do that- we can take care of it." He shrugged.
"And I apologize for the behavior of...certain individuals," he added with a glare over his shoulder. Tai was muttering and rubbing the side of his head, shooting a whithering glare at Mat. "I can't guaruntee he won't do it again, but if you must get away, he's ticklish at the base of his ribs, at his sides." Mat ignored the outraged shouts as he revealed a small weakness. "Just jab him there if you need a way out- it works every time."

Roy...didn't freak...maybe it was because he didn't have the time or maybe it was just because he was getting use to all this homo-erotica crap that this village was starting to be known for. It was definatly not something he was enjoying very much...God, he needed to switch villages and fast. Looking to them for a moment he waved all the perversion off with a deeply saturated sigh.
"Forget it. I'm...getting use to it I think. Dammit...why can't I be gropped by females instead. Story of my 10 year old life, I sware." He looked back to the door and thought for a moment. This...was something he could use to his advantage. He had plenty of distractionary noise items around...maybe he could use this. He was sick of being left out on knowledge he found intresting. And what could be more intresting than finding out why the Kage was such a damn fruit cake?
Moving a chair to block the door by placing the top of the chair under the nob (to prevent anyone from pushing or pulling it) he then looked to Mat and Tai. His face still hidden by his collar he spoke to them clearly serious...
"Ok, I know you two are old friends with Kinami. I think you two were team-mates with her at one time. So spill it, why is she such a nutjob? What happened? And don't give me any of that 'we don't know' bull crap. She almost always runs here or finds her way here when trouble comes up in her head so I know you two have to know SOMETHING. And I ain't leaving until one of you tell me something. And please, don't spare the details or sweeten it up just cause I'm a kid. I might not be able to relate to half the things she's gone through but I understand a far deal more than people give me credit for." He took up a broom and continued to work. Quickly, however, he added the next part, "And don't think sicking that pervy freak on me will get me outta here any faster. I'll just kick his skull in and keep goin'."

Kinami cocked her head to the side. "What is it?"
Tai stiffened, becoming incredibly tense and alert. He turned to the kid, then said, "And why the hell should we tell you?" He desperately wanted to make a rude gesture, and knew that if he did, Mat would have his head.
Staring back, the blonde in question wished that Taichi had more tact. Instead of admonishing him, he turned back to the other occupant and said, "What Tai means to say is that Kinami has our confidence. If you want to know anything, you'll have to go and get it from her. We won't betray her trust by spreading around rumors of a story that we've only peiced together through years of getting her to open up. She needs an outlet, so we keep our mouths shut to anyone who asks about her past. In return, she lets us keep our limbs." The tiny smile on his face said that this was an inside joke. He crossed his arms, knowing that Tai was glaring at the kid for all he was worth.

Kei blushed even more as she motioned to get away from the group. She walked to a corner and waited...

Kinami slowly meandered over to where Kei was. This was getting a bit interesting...her interest was piqued as to what could possibly have Kei so red in the face. A feline-esque smile crossed her features as she approached and waited for the girl to speak.

Fiddling with her finger she mumbled something that wasn't much like words, but if Kinami could understand her they would say. "C-can I p-please borrow a k-kimono...?"

Dammit...he knew exactly what kind of hell he'd be asking them to put themselves in if he badgered them for anything. They had made a promise to a friend in need and he understood that just fine. This was getting him no where and asking Kinami...well...he just knew that he'd have an easier time pulling the information from them than he did trying to pry even the very surface of it from her. This was a no win situation for him. And what did he do when he got frustrated? He cleaned. With nothing more than grunts, grumbles and inaudible curses (and possibly not of any language known to man) he became like a tornado cleaning what he could and tossing what he couldn't into different sorted piles for them to go through later. He used the Shuishin jutsu to move at a hightened speed and was finished within 20 minutes time.
Didn't help none though, he was still pissed that he couldn't figure out how to get any information out of anyone. As a strategist, information was key and that meant he wasn't opening any doors anytime soon now.

Kinami raised an eyebrow. "A kimono, hm? Whatever for?"
Mat walked back to Tai and they began to talk in hushed whispers, leaving Roy to clean up everything; they weren't about to turn away free labor. Instead, they both talked around things and came to the same conclusion- if the kid that they had heard rumors (from Kinami herself) about wouldn't even try to or insist on getting information, even if they had said they wouldn't betray her confidence...he didn't deserve to know. They silently agreed that before Kinami left they'd tell her that the kid wasn't worth talking to. If he wouldn't have the persistance needed to deal with the Kage, then they'd warn her so she could deal with him accordingly.

Kinami's eyes began to sparkle. "Come come, girl, I need details. The kimono or dress, whichever it so happens to be, must match the occasion. Tell me more so I can choose something befitting the gathering."
