The Sand Rose. (Open)

Akihiko ran off as fast as he could him jumping over a mechent and his box instead of going around. Once he got him he grabbed his sword and some kunai. After looking around he got some of his normal equipment. Shuriken senbon and some scrolls. He then ran back to Toshi and smiled. "Well *pant" lets go."

"Gah, you're gonna bring all that?" she asked, laughing out a little. "Fine then, stay here." Toshi ran off and came back with a big backpack. "Food."

Akihiko smiled. "Wow you would. Anyway. Where to? Also....you never know whats me might find..."

"To the sand cave! And if we can't find it there, to the wastelands!" she said, determined.

Akhiko just follwed her lead. He Looked around noticing not as many people were outside today. "Toshi....where is everyone?!"

Toshi looked around as well. "I dunno. Is there an event today, or something?"

"Not a clue...weel better get going. I think its this way." Akihiko lead them through a street heading torwards the caves.

"Eeek, don't leave me!" Toshi squeaked, and catched up to him, hugging his arm as if it were a lifeline. It was creepy that there was no one around.

Akihiko laughed and pulled his arm away. Then held out his hand for the child.

Toshi gulped, looking around and taking his hand. "...this place reminds me of a ghost story..."

"Well lets go.....kinda funny really...." Akihiko just ignored the fact that there were few people out and about. Instead focusing on Tosh's goul. Walking down the street torwards the gates leading torwards the caves.

"Have you been in the caves before?" she asked curiously.

"Not the ones your going to......Ive been in the mines though...."

Toshi sweatdropped, but looked determined. "Let's go!" She grabbed hold of his arm weakly, and pulled.

It was...a cave. With sand. And just a few plants. "Okay, you take that side, I take this. If you find it, bring it to me," she said happily, and started searching.

Akihiko looked around not seeing much more than small rocks and some dried up plants decided to look deeper inside. Looking around he came across a flower. "This it?" He held up a large flower....even though it didnt fit the discription.

"Hm. Try ripping its stem off," she said, glancing at the flower.

Akihiko did as she told than looked at her raising an eyebrow.

Toshi turned her head and smiled to him. "Just do it. See if its underside has a coarse or smooth texture."

The bottom was (insert whatever we arent looking for here) and Akihiko relayed it to her. She said...

"...it's useless, so let's keep searching!" Toshi gave Akihiko an encouraging smile and thumbs up.

Akihiko threw the flower the the side and got up. Looking around trying to find the rose.

((I got my wisdom teeth pulled today :'()

"Hm...maybe it has a smell of some sort..." Toshi muttered. "Do you smell anything?"

(( I got 4 teeth pulled out last month D: I know your pain))

Akihiko closed his eyes and tried building up some chakra. His sense of smell was good but he didnt know what to smell for. After a long while he just opened his eyes and said "I cant smell any flowers...."

((Well for wisdom teeth they had to cut my gums open break to tooth than pull them out.....I have stitches in my mouth that sux!!!)

"Can you smell blood?"

( T_T poor you! )

Akihiko froze. "What do you mean?"

((T.T))
