Weakness... (Open FOR TATAKAI MEMBERS)

Shi grinned when she stuck her hand out, reaching his own out and interlocking his fingers with hers. "That sounds nice... I suppose... Chakra training sounds boring, but okay..." The tired boy agreed, walking towards the park with her. A nice two days, and a great welcome back to the village.

(Night.)

"Well, we have to be dilligent and work hard, Shi-chan. What about this... If you beat me in a battle in the future, then you can have any request you want. But if I win, you have to do one of three things. Marry me, give me your baby or say you love me everyday since then, alright? Just think about it. A small deal to see if you get stronger." Tama smiled and squeezed his hand.

When they arrived at the park, Tama sat down with her back resting against a tree, the leaves shading them from the sun. Tama made him lay down and place his head on her lap as she started to doze off from the heat. "Do you think...we can do this when we're older too? Lay around and relax in the park like this?"

( Night n.n )

"Well that's not really fair... those choices are linked together... If I marry you, I'll end up having kids with you and tell you I love you everyday... If I have kids with you, Kinkai will make me marry you and say I love you everyday. If I say I love you everyday, I'll end up marrying you and having kids..." Shi went on with the possibilities. "Which would you prefer?~" He finished, teasingly.

He closed his eyes when his head was leaned on her lap. The day was nice, and he was still tired. "Mhmmm..." He sounded out a brief agreement, and drifted off.

(Now I'm off. :3)

"I'd like them all," she said, after he had fallen asleep. Tama smiled and ran her hand through his hair as he slept. Her little Shi-chan... Cute little bishounen Shi-chan. He had been there after Shin died. He had even been there before Shin died. He looked out for her and she thought that was sweet. The only thing that kept her frnm being with him was her own little secret. She was in love with Shin as well. Tama sighed and closed her eyes, dozing off as well. She was betrayed by Shin. She hoped Shi wouldn't do the same thing.

(I lied again.. Not tired.)

Shi opened his eyes a little while after falling asleep. He looked up at Tama, who was sleeping ever so peacefully. He didn't have the heart to wake her up. He slowly stood, removing Tensei no Jundo from the sheath on his back. He played with the sword for a while, throwing the large blade into the air, and catching the weapon skillfully.

( Blade! Get some sleep! :< )

The SHING SHING SHING as the blade cut through the air woke Tama up. She yawned and rubbed her eyes sleepily. She didn't feel any weight on her lap... Where was he? "Shi? Shi-chan?" she called out worriedly. Tama was worried. Where was he? Where was her bishounen? She was panicking. She would call the Anbu- yes, the Anbu! And the Kages! They'd get to the bottom of this and find Shi! "SHI-CHAN"

Shi heard that... damn name echo to his ears. His face lit up again as he sheathed the massive blade. He began to walk back to the tree. "Yes, Tama?" He asked, slightly irritated. What did Kinkai and the other clansmen have to deal with while he was at the exams? Poor souls.

"You were gone when I woke up and...and...and..."

"He finds you extremely annoying, you know." A man was sitting up in the tree above them. "You talk too much, you are emo, you're a bitch, you're insecure, you get worried over the littlest things. He's tired of seeing you, too." He had dark hair and light blue eyes, and was for some reason peeling an apple. "Give him his damn space, woman. He's not your little Shi-chan anymore. Naka, catch." The man threw the unskinned apple through the air and in a flash of orange, Naka caught it with her mouth and was hanging from a branch with a forked, blue tail poking out of her pants. She munched on it happily and the man jumped down from his position. "He's sick of you giving him names, touching him, kissing him, smiling at him, looking at him, breathing his air. Did you really think he cared? He's only doing this to get closer to Kinkai. Just like everyone else. He doesn't care about being with you or making memories with you. He doesn't even think you're that cute." Kurama smirked as Tama started to tremble. He could almost see her heart turn to stone.

Shi of course had heard the whole thing, being he was just next to the tree. His sword shook.

"You gonna take that from them, lover boy?" The sword asked via the telepathic link the two had. "Defend your woman, let me feed off of their chakra!" The sword screamed into Shi's head, shaking violently to the point where his presence would easily be noticed

He unsheathed the blade, who was nearly vibrating with anticipation. "I'd walk away if I were you, friend. I don't quite like when people barge up to the girl I care about and start telling her false opinions." He said threateningly.

"He thinks you cause too much trouble and noise... You should just lay down and be a housewife, not an heir. You don't deserve the title. Kyo does- or maybe Shi himself. He could marry you and kill you and Kyo and even Kinkai. Then he could be heir. Did you possibly think he could love you? You're annoying, depressed, suicidal, dumb, not to mention useless in general. The only good thing you can be is his stepping stone. Go ahead and love him all you want. He'll never love you back." The more Kurama spoke, the paler Tama got. The weaker she felt. The more vulnerable she was to crying and maybe running away. But he kept pushing on.

"You? Have his babies? You wish. The only thing you can have of his is the crap he leaves for you. That's how much he cares for you, bitch."

What truly made Shi angry is how much this person knew? How did he know all the clan members? The events of the passed few days? Was he spying? Or a mind reader? Either way... someone with that kind of information had to be disposed of. Without warning, three sudden waves of white flames ripped through the air with unmerciful speed, aimed to slice the man into bits, and leave those bits in a pile of flames. "Shut up!"

"Nuuu! Don't touch my Ku-chan!" A burst of water kept the flames at bay. But when both of it disappeared, so did Naka and Kurama.

Tama rubbed her eyes weakly. "Gomen...gomen... Shi..."

The remaining flames sunk back into Tensei no Jundo. He sheathed the blade, who rattled in protest. Shi expression of sourness didn't seem to change. "I really hate people who appear out of no where, fuck things up, then disappear just as quickly because they have NOTHING better to do but spy on people, then ruin everything!" He vented to no one in particular. He then approached Tama, pulling her into a hug. "No problem."

When he shouted, Tama flinched and trembled as he came closer to her. It was scary when he screamed... He was angry. She didn't want to be the recipient of his anger. "Sh.. Shi... I'm sorry for annoying you so much... I'll stay out of your way if you want me to. You can stop seeing my ugly face." Tama sniffed and rubbed the tears out of her eyes.

Shi hugged her a bit tighter. "Ignore what he said. I don't hate you. Just calm yourself... He was lying." He reassured, kissing ontop of her head and continuing to hold her in a gentle manner.

"I never meant to cause you trouble... I just thought...that maybe you could be my friend." Tama's heart was crumbling into dust and every second of it hurt. That no one wanted to be with her sincerely, that she didn't deserve true companionship, much less love. She blamed her family. Of course she did. She was made heir, one of the best positions, but was useless. It was just a title. One day she would be a so-called leader, but no one would care. They would only think, 'If Shin were here...' Tama hated it, hated being second best. Why was she never good enough?

She looked up into Shi's face sadly. "Is my voice really that bad? Do you hate it when I call out Shi-chan or your very name? Would you feel more at ease if I kept quiet around you... Shinseina-san?"

"... No. Goddamn, stop following along with what he said. You don't cause me any trouble. I love your voice... although I really don't like to be called Shi-chan in public... I think that's kinda cute, and a little embarrassment never hurt... I don't hate you, or anything about you. So please... stop." Shi said, attempting to sooth her a bit. But she would most likely keep going on like the self conscious girl she was. He needed a way to quiet her, and calm her.

So, the young Chuunin went for her, attempting to firmly plant hislips on hers.

That would have been a great idea if she hadn't felt so sensitive at the moment. As a reflex, Tama screamed and gave him an uppercut and a kick to the chest, pushing him away. She looked at him, shaking, her eyes wide with fear. She had just mistaken him for wanting to rape her... In PUBLIC?! "Shinseina-san...h...how could you do that to m-me..." she squeaked. She was about to get... The thought of it made her shiver and hug herself. "I don't want you to force yourself onto me..."

Shi truly didn't understand females... or how a 14 year old could hit so hard. He flew into the tree near by. "Ow... I... D- Oh forget this. Believe whatever the hell you want. When you're done, come get me." He grumbled angrily. With that, he turned, forming a handseal and disappearing in a flicker of movement,.

Tama shook her head, that was traumatizing. He had held her so roughly and tried to slobber on her. Was he going to eat her.

Naka popped out from the tree. "He was gonna kiss you to calm you down. But you've never experienced a kiss, have you?"

Tama jumped back in shock and almost screamed. Oh, this was the little girl who kicked her ass. Wait, what? She understood more than Tama did? WHAT? Blasphemy! "But but... shi doesn't like me, he wouldn't kiss me.. .the man with the blue eyes said so..."

Naka huffed and crossed her arms. She was hanging upside down from a low branch. "Oh only some of that stuff is true. That Shi person wants your body... I think. Not really sure."

Tama looked down and almost punched a boulder. He had been talking crap? She wanted to apologize to Shi, but...he was still mad with her.

"Only one thing to do!" Naka announced. "SAKE!"
"EH?!"

--

And so, Tama and Naka drank at the pub, finishing up five bottles of rice sake like they were water. However... Tama was seriously drunk.

"I wanshhh Shi-shan's BABIESSSHHh..."

As Shi was polishing Tensei no Jundo angrily on his bed, a female popped her head in. "Shi, the bar Kinkai-sama normally hangs in just called. They said Tama's drunk, and they want someone to pick her up. If you d- Shi?!" The woman couldn't believe her eyes, Shi had busted out the window, fleeing the scene. "NOT AGAIN." He yelled, running off to find a hiding spot.

"GO GET HIS BABIES, TAMA-CHAN!"
"I WILL GET HIS BABIES!" Tama downed her last cup of sake for the afternoon. She had determination and passion in her eyes. She would find him and bring him back... Definitely! And then get his babies. She strode out of the bar and grinned. All she needed to do now was find him. "Oh Shi-chan...where are you~"

Shi continued to run through the village, flipping around the buildings like a hyped up free-runner. He had to keep moving, Tama could find him with her Doujutsu if he hid. But if he kept moving, she;d never get him. But, one always needed precautions. Just incase... all that jazz. Only one of the oddest things he'd never done up to that point, but if Tama got her way and weeks from then she found out she succeeded in her goal and Kinkai found out, buying a simple object with a shamed expression on his face was way less intense then what Kinkai would do. He left the store with his savior in the face of great punishment. A simple round object in a foil of tin.

He then continued to rush off.

Tama's iris turned blue and a golden cross appeared in her pupil. She saw it...a very healthy person running around the village for no apparent reason. Oh, that was Shi alright. He was trying to run away from her? Oh, silly little bishounen. She was gonna tie him down and have his babies. She had learned as much for reproduction. Tama focused chakra acutely to her muscles and ran after him after disabling her Doujutsu.

The sound of foot steps... oh dear lord. Shi began to run faster as he heard Tama's foot steps. "Tama! Don't do this! You're drunk, again!" He shouted, as he took to the roof tops. //Kyo, you always had my back before. Why don't you have my back now? Now that your sister is trying to ride my horse to the gates of hell and beyond!//
