Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tanzu groaned, slightly in irratence and in pain. "You never let me finish..." he protested, blushing slightly when she kissed him on the forehead...he smiled lightly, so he could place a small kiss on her cheek. "And it won't. I promise..."

Sighing, Tanzu looked up to the crisp, blue, desert sky, eyes spaced out. "Well, Kira was being an a** when Shayera was hurt, so my attitude got the better of me...then of course, Hachibi got advantage of that. But now he doesn't and never will..." he muttered, smiling in Sora's direction. "I have his chakra now..."

Steeping back through the desert area, David sighed, staring across the quicksand towards the Oasis. He really didn't feel like crossing that again. And the people inside were probably going to be annoying too. Thus, rather than crossing over to the oasis, David wandered off sideways to a secluded area and sat down in the sand. Nobody was around, so he wouldn't be bothered, perfect conditions.

Reaching into his bag he pulled out his big a** scroll of sand techniques, and rolled it out in front of himself and began to read. He needed some special techniques that could be used for more subtle things than throwing sand at people, and this was the only jutsu scroll he had on him.

After reading into the scroll a bit, David found a few useful things that he would definitely be checking out later, but he also found what he needed. A justu to create an eyeball, how very interesting. The first part was simple, just make a ball of sand, he could do that without even using a jutsu, so he did. A flick of a finger and a ball was hovering before him, waiting for the rest of the jutsu. The rest was far more complicated. He had to use chakra to make a connection to his optical nerves, and see through the sand ball rather than his eye. That sounded kind of dangerous really...

No matter! channeling the chakra as needed was simple, and the jutsu was cast. The ball of sand seemed to morph a bit, and took on the appearance of a floating eyeball, though his vision seemed fuzzy through it, as if it was split. Coming up with his answer quickly, David closed his right eye, the one he had channeled the chakra through. Immediately the fuzz broke, and he was able to see clearly through his new floating eyeball.

Commanding it to turn, he scanned the area, taking in the range the eye could see, and then looked at himself. It was truly odd feeling to look at yourself from a distance, yet satisfying at the same time. With a light smile, David dropped the technique, the sand falling to the ground, normal once more.

This technique would be quite useful indeed.

Sora sighed. But in a flash, her hand contacted Tanzu across the face and her face was bright red. Tears were slightly overflowing her eyes, just slightly, and she was hyperventilating. "You idiot! I've been worrying myself sick back home, wondering if you were okay, or if you had gotten into some fight with some other shinobi..." Sora shouted, her voice cracking every now and then as she continued on. "...And you talk about it as if it were nothing! You could have died, do you know that?! You could have died! POOF! Gone forever! Do you know how that would make me feel?" Then she fell to her knees in front of Tanzu, placing her hand on his cheek gently. "Don't you care...?"

Tanzu's face snapped back, eyes widened and mouth slightly open, as if he couldn't believe what she just did...his hand rested on the spot where she hit, a large mark appearing across..."Sora..." he started, eyes downed and ashamed. "If I didn't care, why would I still be listening?..."

Sora looked up slightly, but her face was still twisted into slightly contorted sadness. "I don't know. Why are you listening? I'm just shooting off my mouth like I always do..." Sora sighed, wiping her tears away with her gloved hand. And I used to wonder why father would always get mad at me? She thought to herself. What a joke.

A slow smile crept onto the girl's face. Her frame shook slightly from slight convulsions before she was doubled over, laughing. It was very quiet, since Sora hadn't really laughed in a long time and she didn't think she really remembered how. But she was so overjoyed that she couldn't keep it contained in just a simple smile. "I'm so glad." She sighed happily. She didn't finish her sentence, because there was just way too many ways to finish it. I'm glad that you still love me. was the one that was on her mind at the moment, but she kept it inside her heart. He didn't need to know how she felt completely yet. Not yet.
