The Sand Rose. (Open)

"Aww, okay! Thanks!" Toshi grinned. "Of course, it looks like a rose made of red and white sand. Not to be confused with the Desert Rose!"

"I see.....any idea where to start?"

"I don't know, but it's big. We should go to the highest point in Suna. To the Kazekage's office!" she said happily. Toshi took Akihiko's hand and pulled him away. "Oh! Who's going to mind the shop?"

"Dammit.......Hey Pa! Mind running the shop?!" Akihiko shouted to his father who came walking in with a smile. "Not at all, to be honest I think I don't spend enough time here.....I don't even know where most of your weapons are here....good bye." Akikhiko lead them out the door and waited for Toshi to lead.

Toshi hummed as she walked around Suna, heading to the Kazekage's office, pulling Akihiko's hand. "We should be able to see from there!" she said, smiling moe-ishly.

"Well we need to make sure we are allowed....." Akihiko said as he followed.

Toshi stopped mid-step. "...oh, you're right... I hope Lady Kazekage doesn't mind." She shrugged it off nonchalantly and continued walking. "D'you know any good friends from Konoha Akihiko?"

"Not really. Just you I guess. Usually I only talk to the man at the ramen shop." Akihiko looked down kind of sad than looked up. "Well lets hurry up." He said cheerfully.

"Aww, don't worry, you'll make some more! You're a nice guy." Toshi grinned at him, then pulled him to the Kazekage's office. After explaining to the Kazekage why they wanted to go up, Yuuko let them.

"Okay, let's see..."

Akihiko jsut waited for Toshi to think of a plan.

Once they were on top, Toshi sat on the railing, in a very dangerous pose. She put a hand to protect her eyes and looked around. "...okay, I'm blank," she admitted. "I can't find it here anyway. Where d'you think it could be?"

"Not a clue.....your the medical ninja....im just a shopkeep." Akihiko jumped onto the railing using balance (not chakra) to stand there as he looked out.

"Hah, if we can't find it here, then I'm going back into the desert. It's gonna take a week getting the sand out my hair!" she said, laughing. "Ah, maybe we can check that place, near the gate. A few flowers are blooming there."

Akihiko jumoed off the railing doing a front flip befor landing. "Okay lets go then. He said as he gestured torwards the door

Toshi grinned, and followed him. "They should be in full blossom by now, so maybe it's the size of a hammer..."

Akihiko remembered the different hammers he has at his shop and looked at Toshi...."Wait......what size hammer?" He said with a small laugh.

"A sledgehammer," she said, indicating what she meant. "Um, more specifically, one used to break down walls..."

Akihiko rose an eyebrow because he knew what a sledge was for. "Anyway,,.thats pretty big."

"It's suppose to be. It blooms only this time of year, so I need to find it, fast!"

Akihiko thought for a second befor saying "What about posting a mission? Unless you think we can do it right now."

"I used up all my money on Kuma-kuma and your weapons," she said sadly. "Hm...maybe it's around there, where sand storms often occur...or maybe in the wasteland?"

Akihiko looked at Toshi and laughed. "Well I'm following you." Akihiko gestured in the direction Toshi had.

"Hm..." She looked like she had no clue where to go. "Like finding a needle in a haystack...meh, let's go." Toshi smiled, and took Akihiko's hands, and dragged him in the direction of the sand cave.

Akihiko noticed he did not bring any weaponry. "Erm....befor we go....mind if I make a short stop?"

"Hm? Okay." Toshi smiled to him and let his hands go.
