Akihiko's mission (open)

"All right. Race 'ya!" Toshi grinned, attached springs to the soles of her shoes and started sprinting.

It was hard for Akihiko to stay caught up. It was still early for him. Soon he woke up and they were soon running through the forest. They already dropped off the animals.

"Which way, Aki-kun?" Toshi asked, still keeping up pace.

"Straight. Down this path and we are in the village....once we are there we need a place to sleep."

"Ah, finally some rest! Come on, let's go!" She grinned and increased her pace.

"Pace yourself....we are going to be running all day..." Akihiko said.

"Ah. Okay." Toshi slowed her pace so she matched him, and let him lead.

Akihiko kept running. "Also...remind me to get you another bear."

"Okay, I will! If I remember, that is!" Toshi said, laughing out loud. She had the memory of a gold fish. "Are we there yet?"

Akihiko smiled. "We are going to be running most of the day....ask me again once you see a sunset...so..what kindov bear you want?

"Brown, cuddly, and a blue lace bow. Don't forget the bow!" Toshi said, grinning.

Akihiko grinned himself. "Hmm...I think I'll get you two. One just for you and one for missions. How's that?"

"Yay, awesome! I can make the mission one with a new acid I made!" Toshi grinned happily as they continued to run for what seemed to feel like hours.

Soon dusk came and the sun started to set. "See it?" Akihiko said as they ran. The village was creeping up on the horizen. The eye under Akihiko's cloth started to itch. He gently rubbed it. He couldn't air it out any time soon.

"Ooh!" Toshi's eyes were wide in amazement as she looked at the village. "Wow..."

"Nice place huh?" he said then added "We will need a place to stay...."

"Alright! Um, where?" Toshi asked, looking around at the buildings and inns.

Akihiko wasn't sure himself. "Its to late to see him....so how about an inn...you see any?"

"Ah, that place looks cheap!" Toshi pointed at a run-down, shady-looking inn nearby.

"I do have money you know..." He said as he lead her to a more casual inn.

"Yeah, but you should should save some for future use. Just in case." Toshi hopped along behind him.

"Don't worry. I have more than enough."
