In search of answers. (Kaji&Mika)

Mika shook her head in understanding, "Alright. I have this weird feeling that if I see him I will claw his face off but yet, there is still another part of me that just wants him to be back. Just be my father again. Not that I looked up to him or anything or that I was deeply saddened when he disappeared. Just, I don't know..." She sighed, taking a swig of the water and placing the sealed container back in her bag. Her shoulders hung and an expression of apparent confusion and frustration painted itself upon her face.

Kajii smiled weakly " He was your father you love him, but you also hate him for leaving " Kaji got up and patted her on the back you'll be okay " that said he walked to the bathroom

Mika sighed as he closed the door to the bathroom, falling back onto her bed. With Kaji reassuring her, she could immediately rest peacefully and did just that only seconds later. Her eyes closed and there she laid, in a sweet world of dreams, her face as tranquil and undisturbed as could be.

-Morning-

Kaji stood over Mikas sleeping form holding a tray of various foods.

He poked her "oi Breakfast "

The sound of a familiar voice caused her to depart from her pleasant chimeras and snapped her back into reality. Copper eyes opened slowly to the man before her holding a breakfast tray. A meek smile broke out on her pale pink lips and she sat back up, stretching her body and slouching. "Mooo..rrrningg" She said between yawns, pulling her dark brown hair up into a ponytail. "Thank-you." She said taking a bowl with a nice fried egg on top and a pair of chopsticks, digging in without warning.

Kaji grinned and ate some of the fruit
mainly it was Pineapple and honeydew melon. "so we meet with the kage of this village today, should we dress nice use fake names ?" he he asked her " whats our story or are you going for the honest route "

Mika grinned her classic toothy grin and shrugged, "Hey! There is nothing wrong with a little white lie, right? And yes, we should dress nice. We have to impress them. Ok our story is that we're two reporters for a local Kusagakure paper. We have heard of a man named Reizo Anzai and that he would make a killer article for our next issue. We need some information. Sweet and simple." She spoke, finishing her breakfast and sipping a glass of freshly squeezed juice.

Kaji nodded " ill let you do the talking ill take notes "
Kaji walked over to the bathroom and grinned " your hair is a mess "
he closed the door and went to shower

Mika snarled at him playfully, jumping out of bed and gazing at herself in the mirror. "Well, he does have a point. It looks like a bird nest." She laughed, knocking on the door to the bathroom. "Hurry up I need to tame this beast!" Mika hollered, pulling on her hair in the process. Rummaging through her bag, she pulled out the clothing she was to wear and wrapped it in her towel, waiting for Kaji to come out.

Kaji chuckled from the otherside of the door " I think im gunna enjoy this shower "

-later-

Kaji emerged from the bathroom sporting just a towel " Oi Mika ... bathroom is free " he called while he searched through his bag for suitable attire

Mika sighed and arose from her seat on the bed, hitting him lightly on the back of the head as she passed by, also taking a glance at his sculpted abdomen. Shutting the door, she glided into the shower and deeply lathered her hair. She stepped out and dried her hair, brushing it thoroughly to remove all knots. Mika grabbed her favorite kimono and jumped into it. It was rather short for something to wear to a formal lunch but it was very pretty no doubt about it; Dark grey satin with a large black sash on the waist and an embroidered yet simple koi fish pattern on the sleeves. Sliding a feathered clip into her hair and putting on very basic eye adorning make up and light red lipstick, she came out of the bathroom mumbling something about shoes. "Kaji, Have you seen my black zori sandals?" She asked, tearing the room apart looking for them.

Kaji was just in the middle of getting dressed. since this was a kind of formal thing he had put on his shirt first leaving his bottom half very much exposed. He jumped slightly when he heard her walk into the room turned around quickly, his back to her. " er other side of the bed "he said quickly

Mika noticed his nude lower half and rapidly shielded her eyes with her hands. "Gomen!" She shouted, running to the other side of the bed and picking up her sandals. Turning her back to him at an attempt at privacy, she stared out the window and slipped her black sandals on, finishing the outfit. A giggle escaped her painted lips as she spoke, "It seems like we have this peculiar luck of always walking in on each other while the other is bare of clothing."

Kaji blushed and pulled up his boxers and pants " thats very true" he said not looking at her " Its rather troublesome ... but then again if I wanted to I could always see you naked " Kaji said with a chuckle " and you would never know "

Mika turned in his direction and pointed an accusing finger, "Kaji you perv! And of course I would know, having byakugan activated for no apparent reason would be rather suspicious, don't you think?" She countered, strutting up to him and smoothing the wrinkles out of the shoulder part of his shirt. "Hmmm, should've ironed it..." She mumbled, taking a few steps back to get a good look at him."But you look presentable. It's fine." Mika walked over to her bag and retrieved her ninja pouch that contained all her weapons and tools. Turning away, she lifted her dress a bit and strapped it on her upper thigh. Straightening out her kimono she turned back to Kaji, facing him, "Can you tell its there?"

He chuckled " of course I can tell "he said turning away from her " I can see through your clothes then shook his head " but I guess normal people wouldn't notice " he packed away his things

Mika face palmed and sighed, chucking her sandal at Kaji's back. She hopped over unsteadily on one foot to the mirror and threw her hair over her shoulders, primping and ruffling it. "Do I look alright to go to this lunch? I don''t want these aristocrats to look down on me or anything. I know how they are; extremely prejudice." She said, looking around for the sandal she had thrown.

Kaji whipped around and grabbed the sandal and threw it back at Mika " oi I was joking ... teasing you baka " he said folding his arms " you look fine "

Mika caught the sandal and in one swift motion put it back on her foot. She stuck her tongue out and crossed her arms, glaring at Kaji. "You better not be lying or...or...I'll dye your hair pink when you're sleeping!" She threatened, huffing and heading towards the door of their room.

" What shade of Pink " he asked curiously as thy walked out of the room and down the hall to the stair well. Kaji poked her swiftly in the side and slid down the railing

Mika shied away with a wince as he poked her side, an extremely ticklish part of her body. She chased after him down the stairs, jumping around the rail to a lower flight were Kaji would slide down to. She gazed at his descending figure and retorted as he got lower, "Hot pink! You'll be so bright people will mistake your head for a giant dango dumpling!"

Kaji chuckled " Id be so hot " he said winking " I could pull it off ... maybe I should peek on you just because " he said with a smirk

Mika stopped him by grabbing his shoulders as he slid down the rest of the way. "Or maybe I should just shave all your hair off instead. Now that I think about it, I did see a pair of scissors in our room. I could use those, or I could just use my kunai." She sassed, poking his cheek and effortlessly turning on her heel, strutting away confidently.

mmmm" he rubbed his chin " ladies do love a bald man ... Nice panties " he chuckled as he walked behind her. his doujutsu was not activated but she didnt know that. this was the most fun kaji had in the last year

"toshi chan I miss you " he muttered to himself

"Last time I checked, a bald head was not attrac--What?!" Mika snapped, turning to face him. She saw that his eye veins weren't bulging out from his skin, therefore his byakugan wasn't activated. Her face changed from a livid one to a sly and cheeky one. Her eyes narrowed and her lips fell into a coy smirk, "Oh they're nice are they? What color are they then, hmm?"
