Those you use (Lightning and Bird) (M)

"Dang pesky rain I hate the water only cause I come from the grass from a forest where I used to sheild myself from the rain but ever since I started my quest to destroy the leaf I have been having to walk in so much rain at first it was relieving but now it is just annoying why would you make such a rainy place your home." Nagiko asked Sara.

"It's the only place where I was accepted. Ex-sound ninja aren't really welcome in most places" She answered.

"You know you could join me you would actually be admired for being an ex-part of a village started by Orochimaru." Nagiko said.

She made no comment. Just hearing the name Orochimaru made her sick inside. She focused up ahead. They still had a ways to go before they made it to the lake.

"Anyways why not join me i'll let you think on it." Nagiko said.

“Fine” She said. Thinking about it would be good after all she was still busy on other thoughts. They got closer to the lake as they rain started to go away.

Nagiko was begining to lighten up a bit.

By the time they got to the lake the rain had completely stopped. They weren’t in hidden rain territory anymore but that shouldn’t be a problem for the two. (btw south of the Hidden rain is the Land of Rivers)

(Okay.

Nagiko now was fully happy again without any rain to darken his mood. He soon saw the lake and ran towards it and then used a few handsign's and a bunch of shadow clones came out and jumped into the water and began swimming around gathering the fish up and making them jump then the real Nagiko would use kunia's to stab it into the fishes heads by throwing them.

Sara sat down and watched. She had ice justu that she could use to isolate the fish and make them float to the top of the lake so that they were easier to catch but since he seemed to busy she didn’t do anything.

Nagiko soon caught four small fish and said "That should keep our strength up oh and for a side i'll use these strength giving herbs told you I had herbs for just about anything I even have herbs that with enough strength can get rid of curse marks for good." Nagiko said.

“I doubt that it possible. It has a will and mind of its own. If it goes away there’s a good chance I’ll die with it.” She said sadly. She was stuck with this mark and mere herbs were not going to get rid of it.

"Oh but I have developed a way if I infuse these herbs with these and then put a curse sealin jutsu after you eat these herbs it would go away but I wouldn't give to you till I know you won't run from me." Nagiko said.

“As I said I doubt it’ll work. They put all their energy into making a mark that was sure to not go away.” She said. As for the running away part he had a long way to go to get her to that point.

"Okay then anyways i'll still put the strengthning herbs in here for a side but they don't taste that good but I eat them everyday they keep me in tip top shape." Nagiko said as he gathered the wood.

She kept sitting down watching Nagiko get to work. Her stomach was still hungry for food as she waited.

Nagiko after that used a few handsign's and a Lightning Ball appeared in his hand and he smashed it down onto the wood and the fire started.

She watched waiting for the meal to finally be cooked. Her stomach could barely take it anymore.

Nagiko looked at her and said "Here take this fish it was mine but it is done cooking I think you should have it." Nagiko said kindly.

“Thanks” She said smiling a bit as she took the warm fish and started to munch away at it. She could taste the baked in herbs that made it taste even better. “Mmmm” She said enjoying the taste.

"Your Welcome my ex-girlfriend used to be the cook for me and the group but ever since she left i've been developing my own way of cooking and the herbs to put in it I've learned of herbs that can make people stronger but at the same time making the food taste better." Nagiko said sadly everytime he even brought up Haru he began to become sad and dark again.

“So what was she like? This ex-girlfriend you keep talking about” Sara asked since he always kept mentioning her. It seems he was still far to in love with his ex than anyone else including herself.

"Her name was Haru I loved her in fact we got serious quite quickly I saved her from many things I even tore down an entire organization for turning her into a neko from a human and then we got serious later I decided I was going to marry her but then things went wrong the drug they gave her. Well it made her do stuff like rubbing off another guy and going around giving herself away. I loved her and she betrayed me I couldn't take the pain I was destroyed then I began to hate her in a way but at the same time I loved her more than anyone I've ever met she was my family. But she betrayed me you see if Haru was still around I probably wouldn't have killed your entire squad but what she did to me made me dark." Nagiko said crying the second he started to talk about her and laying on the ground in complete emotionly pain.

Sara reached over to rub Nagiko’s back signify she was there for him. She didn’t know the whole story but the way he put it she should have never left him.

Nagiko then looked up tears still going down his face. Nagiko looked at Sara and asked "Your a girl can you tell me what she was feeling I just need a reason this pain it's destroying me." Nagiko asked as the tears kept rolling down his face and the look of complete hurt on his face.
