October and Deidarapet -private-

Katsuya was strolling around the village wearing aqua colored short sleeve shirt with a chibi black bunny in the front. She also wears a white cargo mini-skirt with 4 pockets on each side and comfy hot pink flip-flops.
She put her hands behind her head while walking bored as ever. Katsuya walked at a slower pace to watch all the stores and people around her. When she tilted her head to the right. She quickly ran to the shop and gazed at the open sign. " I cant believe there open today!" She bariged into the store. The Dango shop was Katsuya's favorite store to go in and buy a handful with red bean soup. She normally did, but this time she only bought a 'resonable' amount. She would have bought more but her mom was cooking her some white rice with sushi and orange chicken. So as she was about to purchase some Dango she looked over the other types of dumplings they had orderd and was impressed at the new flavors. She stuck with the original Dango she had been used to. She ordered about 3 lbs. of dango. As she waited for her order she played with her hair and maneged to fix some of her tangels. Katsuya was dozing off into space thinking about random scenerios.

Shikinatsu was walking around town, making sure everyone was safe. He knew that not much happened in the area he was in, but it still felt good to stride down a street with purpose. Already today he had stopped a mugger, though it had only been an academy student, and helpped an old lady accross a street. He figured that his level of dedication and helpfullness deserved a reward, so he started to go on a shopping spree. Shikinatsu didnt buy everything in sight, only what he needed; though he did buy many packs of insta-ramen. as he was nearing his small cozy apartment, he approached the dango shop. "Final stop..." He said to himself, walking in. As always the assortment of smells overwelmed his senses. He couldnt help it; a little drool came out of his mouth. Shikinatsu got in line behind a girl about his age and checked his money. "Just enough for a small portion." He said, approaching the counter. He got many different kinds, and decided to approach the girl; she was pretty cute, after all. "Hello there." He said with a friendly smile, extending a hand. "Im Shikinatsu Nara. And you are?"

Katsuya blinked her eyes a little fast as she came back from her daze. She turned towards the boy that was behind her and smiled as she shook his hand. " Nice to meet Shikinatsu, I am Katsuya Seiju." Katsuya turned her head back towards the clerk and payed him. The clerk gave her the dango she had bought in return for her pay. Katsuya walked out of line and checked her order to make sure there wasnt anything left out. She looked up and decided to wait for Shikinatsu. I got nothing better to do.. Katsuya thought to herself as she stood there holding the bag with sweet dango.

Shikinatsu smiled a little at Katsuya's blinking. Must have been thinking bout something else...... he thought as she introduced herself "Pleasure to meet you, Katsuya" He said. Really rolls of the tongue, he thought as she paid. He fallowed suit, having just enough for the amount of dango he got. Thank you..... he muttered in a silent prayer as he turned and saw Katsuya standing at the door. "Waiting for someone?" Heasked, creeping up beside her

Katsuya giggled at Shikinatsu response. "Yeah for you to hurry up." Katsuya smirked as he creeped up next to her. She thought of nothing better than to spend a day with a complete stranger. Katsuya wanted somethin unusual and she got it.

((OOC: i cant think of anything else to put))

Shikinatsu grabbed another dango out of his bag and chewed it, savoring its flavor. perfect...he thought as Katsuya said something. "Yeah for you to hurry up." He smiled at her comment, checking his bag to make sure everything was still there. "Now you've got me wondering: Why would you wait for a perfect stranger, hmm?" He said, adding a little hmm as an afterthought

Katsuya's stomach growled by the smell of fresh dango. So she went threw her stash and pulled out one stick and nibbled on it. She turned her head back towards Shikinatsu and cocked her head. "Wouldn't you if you were bored?" Katsuya smiled and started to nibble back at her dango. Her stomach had stopped the growling sense she ate some sweet dumplings. She didnt want to eat all the sweet dango sense she had needed to make it last intell at least tomorrow. Her mother barely made dango instead she mostly made other instusting sushi recipes. Katsuya was in the mood for something warm and sweet.

"Wouldn't you if you were bored?" Shikinatsu smiled a bit again. "Eh, it depends. If that person were cute, then yes. If not, i wouldnt know.' He said, searching his bag for something. "Where did i put it.... he wondered. "HEre it is" he muttered to himself, pulling ot a white rose. "I knew it was in there somewhere." He said, giving the rose to Katsuya. "Take it" Shikinatsu said. "I have no use for it. In fact, im not even sure why i bought it"

Katsuya finished her dango stick as she was shown a white rose. she threw the stick backwards and took the rose. "Thank y-" Katsuya was interrupted sense her finger got punctured by the thorn. She shook her head and tried again. "thank you." Katsuya held the rose with a smile and gazed at how the petals were shaped perfect to fit together. A small drop of blood dripped between her fingers making Katsuya let out a little giggle. When she realized it was blood she rose her hand to face and licked the blood off.

"Your welcome" Shikinatsu said with a smile as Katsuya licked the blood off her finger. "May i ask you to accompany me on a walk?" He asked, not really knowing why he phrased it like that. Eh..... he reasonened himself

Katsuya looked up at Shikinatsu and giggled. The blood on her finger went away sense she licked it off. She put the rose in her other hand and pulled Shikinatsu out of the store. As she was pulling him by his hand she spoke. "You should take this as a yes i am taking a walk with you." Katsuya let go of him and stopped in the middle of the path. "So were you want to go?" She turned around and looked at him. She couldnt tell his expression so she just grinned.

"So were you want to go?" Shikinatsu chuckled a bit, then looked down both sides of the road. "I dont really care. Anywhere is fine." He said, not even knowing where the roads led. Truthfully, he hadnt been down here very much; only about 2-3 times. Yet, he loved to go there. The smells; the tastes; and the people

She looked at him puzzled. did he not know where he was? Katsuya thought to herself. She giggled at his chuckle, when ever someone laughed around her she couldnt help to join. Katsuya spun around and landed to her left. okay then its this way Katsuya pointed to her left where she landed. "lets see whats down there." She havent explored down there, well she cant remember if she did at least.

Shikinatsu looked puzzled at her deduction method. "Very professoinal" he complemented sarcasticly as he began to walk down the path, taking in everything around him. "Pet store? didnt know Kohona had one of those....and...another ramen stand? I thought there was only Ichiraku's.." He said quietly to himself

Katsuya rolled her eyes to Shikinatsu's response. Katsuya then began to skip down the unknown path way. When she looked up there were some empty stores. Not many but a few. When she turned her head to her side she saw a pet sore and ran up to it. She tried to look inside but it was hard to see clearly because the windows were semi-dirty. I wonder if any animals are still in there.. Katsuya tried to open the door but it was locked. So she went across the store to a metal trash can and picked it up. She smashed the trash can against the door knob tring to break it.

Shikinatsu shook a little out of surprise from Katsuya's rash actions. He brushed a bit of snow white hair out of his face and inspected the building. He couldnt see much because of the amont of dirt and mildew on the window, but he figured that nothing much could be in there considering the state of it. "The window is open, you know." HE said to katsuya, opening it and jumping Kinside to the lovely aroma of animal feces.

Katsuya dropped the thrash can and walked towards the window. I knew that... Katsuya thought to herself as she hoped threw the window. She smelled the aroma in the air and cocked her head to the scent. It had a strange bitter smell to it, Well thats how she would describe it. Katsuya looked down at the kennels and walked towards them. Maybe there was something in them, or it could just be empty. "Hey do you think any animals are here?" KAtsuya asked in almost a giggle. She had found a little gerbil and it crawled up her arm. Its claws tickled her and it forced her to laugh. She sat down where she found it and started to watch the small rodent react.

Shiki was giving the store a likewise treatment. So far all he had found was spiders and rats. He opened the mens lavatory, only to find that it had nothing but a hole in the ground. "Just needs tumbleweeds now"he said as Katsuya asked him something; "Hey do you think any animals are here?" "I dont think so, considering that everything here is abandoned, I think that that gerbil you have is a little straggler; he waited until everyone left then jumped out." He said, walking back towards Katsuya. He leaned against the nearest wall with his shoulder and watched her play with the animal

Katsuya looked up at Shikinatsu and got up. She grabbed his hand and placed the small gerbil in his palm. His hand was warm compared to hers as the gerbil curled in a ball. Katsuya then looked at him and moved her head to the side. It seemed to her he wasn't having much fun. "Hey you alright?" She asked in a concerned tone. She almost wanted to hug him but she lost that train of thought.
