Bored as Hell!

"I....I don't know how to discribe it...."

"But do you like it?"

"Its pleasurable..."

"See, I told you pancakes were good!" she said, grinning. "Want to order some more? My treat."

"Should we?" Juuroku asked as he finished his plate.

"Yes!" Toshi ordered two more stacks for them, and started eating her own. "So, Hooritsu, can you tell me about yourself?"

"No....I really can't....but what about you?"

"If I tell you, I doubt you'd believe me," she said, shrugging. "Looks can be deceiving."

"I've heard crazier than you know..."

"Okay. I'm older than Madara and my first husband is a perverted, sadistic incubus and my children are born-killers, and I'm mummy of all demons."

"Thats pretty crazy....but I've met someone with sevral extra arms...."

"Oh, so I'm not weird? Thank goodness," she said with relief. "Some people would kill me!"

"Why would someone kill you. Did you hurt them?"

"No...But a lot of people hate me because I have a demon in me, and it's their duty to exterminate her. Because she gives birth to all demons... I get re-incarnated, but dying hurts..."

"Do you remember past lives then?" Juuroku was interested in this demon.

"Yes," she said plainly, ordering more pancakes and digging in. "I didn't like Madara, back then...He took his brother's eyes." She shivered. "But it was good he and some others founded Konoha, or I'd have to live somewhere...uncomfortable."

"I've heard of Madara. A lot of which I cannot tell." Juuroku finished his first plate and sat silently.

"Oh? Okay. But please...tell me a bit of yourself," she said softly. "I told you about me."

"There is not much to tell. I like pretty things. I can't let Danzo know that though. I've been in the Leaf Village my entire life...I'm hardly allowed to tell you that."

"Oh, why not? It's not like I'm a Kusa spy," she said defensively. "There are Konoha spies in here, though. Betrayers of the village."

"I can't talk about that. Sorry. And if I tell you much more I risk my life and identity."

"Aww, okay. So, lemme re-ask the question: do you like pancakes?"

"I guess that would be a yes....."

"Yay! This is your first step to showing your emotions," Toshi said eagerly. "Now, what hobbies do you have?"

"I don't have emotions. I was stripped of them long ago. And I like to collect pretty things...like this." He pulled out a small stone. The one Kou gave him in the Leaf Village.
