The Sand Rose. (Open)

"I think he is just talking about mixing poison on a play ground....right?" Turning to look at the man.

The man gives a short nod.

"The poison doesn't work on kids, that's why it's important to me!" Toshi huffed. "It only works on people who have gone through puberty. It could kill you in a minute, but it wouldn't have any effect on children even if they swallowed a ton of it."

Akihiko started to raise an eyebrow...."Erm....that could have been mentioned to me ya' know....?"

"But then you wouldn't be so careful with it," she said, and squeezed the juice out until it was flat. "Okay, time for the gift." Toshi grinned, and started to do something with it so he couldn't see.

Akihiko laughed and waited for her gift.

After a few minutes, Toshi showed him what it was. A boxing glove. "The leather on the inside should hold it stable. The outside is poisoned, so you have to put it on from the wrist," she said, grinning.

With a grin Akihiko pulled out a scroll. Laying it down he wrote a seal on it. Gesturing for her to set it down on the middle of the seal. After a short series of three hand seals he waited for her to set it down. "This is so I know where it is. The rest of the weapons in this scroll are extremly close ranged. Knuckles and a few gauntlets."

"Oh, I see." Toshi looked at the scroll curiously. "How does a summoning scroll work, really?"

"Well, depends on the type you use. Normaly you need to use blood in order to summon, but, I have put blood inside the paper making is easy for me to just run chakra into it. Once the blood reacts it summons whatever item I placed inside the scroll." Akihiko -still kneeling- looked up waiting for her to place it down than said. "Oh...right...." Akihiko pulled out a kunai and put a small cut on his finger and traced the circle around the middle. "There, that will same me some time in the future."

"Ohh... I get it... A bit." Toshi laughed at herself. "But I diluted the poison so it wouldn't be too dangerous. The antidote is in the glove if you need it."

"Thanks, ok here." He reached out for the glove with one hand.

Toshi gave it to him, making sure not to touch the outside. "If you add chakra, spikes-" She flowed some chakra into it and pointy spikes sprouted on the surface. "- will come up. Poisoned, of course."

"Awsome." Akihiko, taking it, put it ontop the scroll. After a few hand seals and then a large gush of smoke the glove was gone.

"That is so cool! I have summoning scrolls too, but it's always Aiden who seals them for me," she said with awe. "Now, time to celebrate! C'mon, I'll treat you to some ramen."

"I thought you used your money....." He said with a small chuckle.

"...oh crap, you're right!" Toshi face-palmed, embarrassed. "Crud. Hm, let's eat the instant ramen I brought, then!"

"Naw I got it this time. Casual ramen or sit-and-eat?"

((The new series "Heads" isn't too bad. Im reading it right now.))

"Really?" Toshi looked up at him as if he was Superman, and glomped him happily. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou, Aki-kun! Um, sit-and-eat."

(Ooh, what's that? n_n )

"Ok...hope you arent too hungry though...they make you sit for a while here...but its worth waiting for." Akihiko gestured down the street and they walked slowly to the closest ramen shop.

((Sorry for the dbl post but Heads is a new manga that came out,))

( I'll google it.)

"I have all the time in the world!" Toshi said cheerfully. She was getting hyper.

"Well then lets go!" He said happily as he pulled out a scroll with a picture of ryo on it. "This is like an instant bank." He siad as he unrolled it to one sign that had 100 ryo underneith. He flipped the sign over his hand and put chakra into it. A small stack of paper money fell into his hand and he slipped it into his pocket. The rolled the scroll up and put it in his bag.

"I never thought about using a scroll as a wallet!" Toshi said, impressed. "Wow. Um. Hey, Aki-kun, are we're close friends?"

"Depends, what do you consider close?" Akihiko smiled as he glanced over.

"There's other types of 'close'?" Toshi blinked in confusion.
