Kurureenu reached Harumoni's hut and tried the knob. It was locked. It was no problem for Kurureenu. Her sensei told her a long time ago that if she wanted to come by there was a key hidden. Harumoni put it in a type of riddle so to confuse any eavesdroppers.
Kurureenu reached an arm up and retrieved the key from the eave before she was finally able to enter the house and step inside. She always felt relaxed in Harumoni's home when she was invited. Especially with the latest aroma drifting around.
Kurureenu sniffed the air, her last incense still drifting in the air that hadn't been stirred in quite sometime. She wanted to try to relax, but as soon as she stepped inside her sensei's house she felt a type of tenseness, like she shouldn't be here. Like she wasn't the only one there.

Boredom was not much acting in the young jinchuuriki's favor, as he soon woke up from his light sleep. The boredom was causing his body to stir;to want to become active, and he couldn't sleep with such a feeling coursing throughout his veins.
He let out an irritated sigh at the feeling as he sat up on the couch, soon bringing himself erect onto his feet. His curiosity was also starting to be aroused as he wondered, if only for a slight moment, where his female comrade had went off to. He figured she must have lost the Kage Bunshin by now...
Soon, though, he shrugged his shoulders lightly towards the thought. He soon got another thought though;Why had the Sannin thought that he and Kurureenu were together? He chuckled softly towards the idea. It wasn't so much that he would even mind, but he was curious to know what her thoughts were on it.
Soon thereafter, however, he let out a soft sigh as he shook his red-haired head lightly. "So much for relaxing..." He muttered under his breath. He walked outside and went into a clearing in the forest, then just started to pinpoint places on any random tree and throw either shuriken or kunai at it.

Kurureenu gazed around the place, wondering why its safe and homey feel was now a feel that she shouldn't be there. She shivered slightly and decided to step in further. It was probably only because that her sensei hasn't been here for quite sometime to make it feel good or something. There is no need to be paranoid. the girl thought as she made her way to the room where her sensei used to sleep and gazed around.
Pictures. And a lot of them. Harumoni must've loved Kurureenu if she could never put down a picture of her. There were many, but Kurureenu's favorites would include her baby picture, with her parents, a funny pose picture with her sensei, and a picture of her zoning out.
Her eyes instantly followed the funny pose picture and she paced over toward it to pick it up and stare at it. Harumoni's obsessed. Kurureenu thought with a small smile as she gazed around at the room again. Then she released a sad sigh as she placed the picture back down and sat on the bed to stare around and zone out.

It was starting to get boring, just throwing his ninja tools at trees, but he really didn't have anything else to do. It was what he and his friends would do whenever they would get bored, and he didn't really want to break the tradition that they had started. Suddenly, he stopped and closed his eyes. A flashback was starting to take place..
'Hey, Haruka!' Called out a feminine voice. Back then, Haruka had many friends. He made friends whenever he could, somewhat like a certain jinchuuriki in Konohagakure. The female smiled towards him. 'Want to go train with the others again? We need to work on our bloodlines, anyways.'
Haruka laughed slightly and nodded his head. How could he pass up such a tantalizing offer? He ran off with the kunoichi, going to their usual clearing for training. The many others greeted him with smiles, and he returned those smiles.
'Hey! We heard that you learned a new jutsu! How about you show us?' Asked a male voice, his voice already somewhat low. It was surprisingly low for someone so young. A shrug came towards him for his response, as Haruka readied some hand signs. 'Well, I haven't completely mastered it like some of the Uchiha would have, but...Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu!' Called out Haruka as he blew a stream of fire forward, it soon vanishing.
'Wow!' Came many of the voices in unison. The female that had been mentioned earlier smiled towards him. 'My mom taught me that earlier. Of course, I still haven't been able to make anything..' She pouted. Haruka laughed slightly. 'Oh! And guess what? They also made me get a contract with a summoning scroll! I get to summon these bird..things. Perfect for the Elemental Clan!' Haruka commented with a smile.
Soon, though, the people...his friends...vanished from the flashback, leaving him all alone, like he started to believe jinchuuriki should be. People had been killed off by some rogue nin from Konohagakure, a man named Orochimaru. He felt destined to be alone. His father had told him that once he was older, he would meet a nice girl and settle with her, but he really didn't believe him. Only that one female he was a friend with showed him interest, and she was dead now.
Sure, he had Kurureenu. But, she wasn't quite whom he had expected to meet. She was...unique, he supposed. Everyone had their qualities about them, and she had many qualities that he had interest in. But what were the chances for him to get her? He's shown interest in her, but she has of yet to show him any. At the moment, she was just a very good friend of himself.
He was done practicing, though. He was tired of having flashbacks of his past. It was already angering him to even think about it, so he gathered his ninja tools from the trees and let a soft sigh escape from behind his pale lips. Oblivious to him, his fists had tightly clenched, making his claws dig into his palms. Blood started to slowly drip from the new wounds and land on the forest ground. He shoved his hands in his pockets. He needed to talk to someone;He had a great urge to. He didn't know who, though. Instead, he sighed and sat down by the tree, slamming his knuckles on the ground out of anger.

Kurureenu shook her head out of the sad memories, now finding the urge to quickly leave the house before she becomes even more depressed. That was exactly what she did. She stepped back out and was about to put the key into the eave but paused to stare at it for a moment. She smiled slightly and put it into her pocket before going off again, heading toward Haruka's hut at last.
Kurureenu seemed to have been out for awhile and she had a feeling that Haruka would be impatient to the fact that she didn't even check in with him or anything. She assumed that he would also start to think that she ran off, despite it being so tempting currently, but she won't. She basically made a promise and she wanted to keep it.
Kurureenu stopped for a moment, taking in the atmosphere. It had a calm feeling to it, but it seemed to be starting to disappear a bit. Her gaze traced around the area. She felt a bit of anger mixed into the calm, but currently the calm was more overwelming, but with a shrug of her shoulders she started again at a walk, humming as well.

He winced slightly in pain, the shock of punching the ground going into his newly formed wounds on the palm of his hand. It caused a bit more blood to drip out, and he groaned a bit as he stood back erect on his feet. He hadn't noticed the wounds on his hands;that is, until he finally gave notice to the parts of flesh. He chuckled softly as he noticed that they were bleeding.
He watched as the blood leaked out of the wounds, slowly sliding across the somewhat callused skin, before finally falling onto the ground below. The rivulets of blood was giving him a somewhat..calm, feeling. He took in a somewhat deep breath, trying to calm himself down from the anger and sadness that was starting to fill his heart. Once he was calm enough, he started to walk back to the hut.
He paused, but only for a moment. He wondered in that small moment if Kurureenu would be back at the hut. Not feeling like wasting anymore time, he did a quick handseal before he did the teleportation jutsu, soon arriving back at the living room, where he lingered with what seemed to him an eternity ago. He chuckled softly, looking at his arm. He noticed that the punch had reopened the wound once again. "hn.." He murmured, blood leaking out of his arm.

Kurureenu randomly skipped up to the door of Haruka's hut and entered, still humming a small tune. She glanced toward Haruka and smiled slightly. "Hey, Haruka. I'm..." She glanced toward his one arm with a brow raised as her words trailed away. "Haruka! What the hell happened to you?" she exclaimed, moving over toward him.
Kurureenu gazed at the wound on his arm and then toward his hand, not wanting to grab at it to look it over better in case that it might hurt him. She felt the worry creep up on her for the third time that day. She didn't want to see any injuries on her friends and also... Blood sometimes made her queezy for a little bit.
It always had some type of an effect on her. Small amounts, like a simple scratch or something, did nothing. It was a safer amount. Large amounts had more of an effect on her sometimes, but she gained an ability to hide it for an amount of time and just gains this worried aspect about her.

Haruka looked towards her and rose a brow towards her. He chuckled softly towards her, tilting his head towards her. "What happened to me? Ah, I got a bit angry and slammed my fist on the forest floor. The shock of the hit caused my wound to reopen...nothing to worry about, you know..." He said with a slight sigh.
That was another thing. She was pretty much the only person he had met that had ever really shown concern towards himself, and that left an awkward feeling in the pit of his stomach. He noticed, though, that she was responding to the blood in a somewhat negative fashion. He put a hand over the blood, though it still dripped onto the floor.
He sighed softly as he let his hand drop back to his side. He didn't really know what happened next. In his mind, he was suddenly in front of the female, and his arms were wrapped around her. When his mind started to come to, he sighed softly, the hot air from his mouth shifting across the flesh of her neck. "I'm sorry..." He murmured softly.

Kurureenu sighed toward his excuse. She should've known. Haruka has a bit of a temper and she sometimes had to be careful not to make it worse, like when she got decked by him. The worried feeling continued to scratch at her and would only be gone once she knows that the wound had been taken care of.
Kurureenu was about to speak, but it came to her as a shock as he had his arms wrapped around her. His breath tingled against the skin on her flesh, making the butterflies flutter in her stomach again as he spoke. She wrapped her own arms around him in response and closed her eyes.
"It's okay. Just stop worrying me every few hours," she muttered. Then she let out a small laugh, just to lighten the mood. "You really need to stop doing that."

He bowed his head slightly, his forehead pressing lightly against the crook of her neck. He chuckled softly as she had tried to lighten the mood for him. It didn't work exactly the way she had maybe planned, but it did help him, even if it was only just a little bit.
"Hn...Well, I really can't afford to lose anymore friends, can I? I'm not going to let another of my friends die, even if I have to use my own life to save them." He murmured softly, the breath she had felt earlier now shifting away from her neck, only to start going against the flesh of her collarbone.
He didn't really blush much, he could say that at least. But for some reason a blush had been painted on his cheeks. Probably from the closeness he was towards the girl. His arms never once left from being wrapped around her. It felt to him like they were frozen there. He didn't want to leave the closeness of her, but he didn't know what she would do. At the moment, however...he didn't care. "And besides...you know that I'll never stop worrying about you."

"You won't loose me," Kurureenu muttered. Her skin started to tingle against her collarbone, making the butterflies continue their mad fluttering.
She still wasn't used to being this close to someone. Personal space usually had a thing with her, and she usually abided by it. Now she wanted to ignore it and stay like this for awhile. It felt comfortable and mad her forget about everything else that had been happening. It was like the world froze around them, making it peaceful in its silent.
"Nor do you have to worry about me. I'll be okay. As long as you are okay, there is no need to worry about me," she muttered, tightening her grip around him a bit.

"And for that, I'm glad. I don't know what would happen to me if I lost you, you know...You are the closest friend I've had in so long...I suppose feelings could develop?" He murmured, keeping his head in its place. His breath continued to snake its way across her collarbone. He was glad that she didn't reject the closeness that he was giving to her, and he kept his arms around her still, his grip somewhat tightening as hers had. His arms also had a bit of a shaking feeling to them, but it hopefully wasn't detectable by the female.
His body felt a bit...odd. His mind was tempted to do something more than just what he was doing to her, but he was afraid of doing it at the same time. His head started to slightly nuzzle into her flesh. That was the most he was going to do to her for now, until he got over his fear and tried more, though it still troubled him on her feelings.
"And then you shouldn't ever have to worry, because I don't really plan on going anywhere. As you said to me, I say unto you..You won't lose me either.." He commented softly, closing his eyes as he relaxed his head in the crook of her neck.

Kurureenu chuckled slightly toward his words, his breath still sending the butterflies in a fluttering frenzy. This was driving her nuts. The butterflies that is. And this impulse that made her want to do more for some odd reason. She had more self control than it, so it was easily suppressed.
When he started to nuzzel her, she gasped lightly from a mixture of slight shock and the butterflies together. It was already making it hard for her to breath because of the fluttering insects that she feared to burp up.
His last set of words sent a warm, caring feeling through her in a large wave. She turned her head toward his chest and nuzzeled into it slightly. "Thanks," she muttered with a soft sigh.

He slowly, and also somewhat reluctantly, removed his head from the crook of her neck, causing the breath to stop angering her fluttering insects so much as it stopped running against her collarbone. He chuckled softly as he let his eyes cast a deep gaze into her own hues. He was trying to think of something to do, but the somewhat intimate moment they were having was causing his mind to be somewhat clouded.
He enjoyed the feel of her nuzzling into his chest, though. It made him feel..strange. It sent tingles up and down his spine, and he decided to raise a hand up to gently start to stroke her soft hair, enjoying its texture in his hands. His hand had long since stopped bleeding, so the blood didn't stain her hair.
Of course, he was one to add a few playful notions into an intimate moment. He didn't want to mess with this one, though. He smiled softly, one of the first real smiles he had given in a while, and let his head go back to her neck, her scent filling his nostrils a bit. As he lightly shifted his head on her neck, it caused his somewhat pale lips to brush against her flesh, and he was unaware of the touch.

Once his breath faded away from Kurureenu's collarbone, her butterflies ceased and stopped for the moment. She gazed up, having her own eyes meet up with his as he stared deeply into her own, she couldn't tear her gaze away from it at all. She could obviously tell that he was thinking.
She felt the light tug of his hand stroking through her hair and found it slightly relaxing as she closed her eyes and smiled slightly from it. She nuzzeled her face into his chest again and looked up to see him smile.
Kurureenu automatically moved her head slightly to the side as he came back to her neck, the butterflies starting to flutter lightly again. When she felt his lips against her skin, she gasped lightly again as the butterflies erupted feriously in her stomach again. She still smiled though.
