[hr]

Yakoul asked again if they had any questions, before their oncoming mission for Iwagakure. 

[color=ec008c][b]"Well, have a blast then, guys.. I need some ice for my [i]cheek[/i] too."[/b][/color] Kanata said, turning to Yakoul and glaring some at him. 

It had hurt really damn much, so yes, she was indeed going to get some ice for her cheek. 

She walked outside the room and slammed the door shut behind her. After that, she headed for the cafeteria. Some nice lunch lady might give her a bag with ice. 

Yakoul's speech back there was rather loaded for the tiny Aoi, making her cringe with ever over the top additive he'd put to render the ideas he'd convey more 'colorful'. Nonetheless, she noted multiple details regarding his position on this 'war' as well as the various reactions from the new 'Armed Forces'. 

The blue haired idol didn't stick around long, she was quite frankly anxious when thinking of delivering a report to the new station in a few hours. At least she wasn't the one to present the breaking news articles. As such, Aoi would be sitting calmly in the cafeteria, devoid of any strong activity as most shinobi seemed to have left for Suna's finer places. 

On a table, alone, she was simply writing on that same notebook, this time complimenting the details with her thoughts and what to prioritize later on. She only had a plastic cup with milkshake set next to the piece of scripture and would occasionally take a sip. It would only be when Kanata broke the lingering silence that the young woman's focus would break. Instantly she'd recognize the teen's face from earlier, the kid that went along with Yakoul for God knows what. But this time she had a nasty red mark on her face. Curious now, Aoi kept an awkward glance at her until she'd get the attention she yearned.

Kanata approached one of the lunch ladies. She sure was glad that everything was quieter now. Nobody could see the big red mark on her cheek that way. 

She didn't want other people knowing she was just hit by her superior, so she'd have to think up some ridiculous excuse like 'I hit myself with the toothpaste cap'. 

After the gentle lady handed over a bag filled with ice, she pressed it against her swelling cheek. However, there was something at the back of her head that was bugging her. 

Was someone staring at her? It only grew stronger with each passing second.

Soon, she turned around, trembling a bit with anger and shouted, [color=ec008c][b]"What are you staring at, creep?! Take a photo, they last longer!"[/b][/color] 

As soon as she shouted that, though, she realised who it was. 

Aoi Fuegushi. 

Crap. She just shouted at one of the kunoichis she admired the most. 

[color=ec008c][b]"Eh, um, err, I mean-!"[/b][/color] She had nothing to say now. She had just made the world's most horrible first impression. 

Aoi giggled at the sight of such a personality. The red hair was indeed fitting in such a blazing individual. At least she didn't take the first response so badly, then again Aoi was a bit of a social basket if we were to factor in her past experiences. 

She gestured the little, yet taller than the star herself, chuunin to come over to the table and take a seat. The busy woman became fully relaxed and disconnected from her job as she saw this opportunity to make a new friend. Pen dropped and notebook put side, she was already excited to get this started.

Kanata looked at her sides when the blue haired shinobi motioned with her hand for her to approach her. 

Was she really asking Kanata to approach her? Regardless, Kanata walked onward to meet her idol, doubt still in her mind. If she had not call for her, then she could still meet Aoi Fuegushi all the same. 

"[color=6ecff6]Do you like ice cream?[/color]"

She simply asked with a heart warming smile on her expression. She was trying to inviting after all.

[color=ec008c][b]"I do, err, ma'am?"[/b][/color] Kanata was still doubtful of how to answer, but Aoi, unlike Yakoul, did have her respect. 

"[color=6ecff6]Good! Two Sudaes Madame, please~[/color]"

She called out at the nice lady at the counter who would go on ahead and do just that. The blue haired woman took a few seconds to scrutinize the teen's appearance with her dazzling blue eyes before looking up at Kanata's.

"[color=6ecff6]You can sit, knucklehead~ Also, you can call me Aoi IF! ... You tell me your name.[/color]"

She purposely added a little emotion to that set of phrases to both surprise the girl as well as amuse her. Though she was also well aware she could intimidate her followers rather easily by being so casual. 

Kanata let out a relieved sigh and sat in front of Aoi. 

[color=ec008c][b]"It's good to see you are so relaxed, Aoi-san."[/b][/color] Kanata nodded, [color=ec008c][b]"I am Kanata, so you can call me that too."[/b][/color] 

She beamed a smile at Aoi too. This was a really good thing to off-balance a really bad day. 

[color=ec008c][b]"But man, it sure is good to see you don't have a stick up your ass like Yakoul. I thought all of the big wigs were like him."[/b][/color] She said as she caressed the back of her head. [color=ec008c][b]"Ah..."[/b][/color] She quickly brought a single hand to her mouth. [color=ec008c][b]"Sorry about that... My tongue tends to move faster than my brain sometimes."[/b][/color]

Aoi let out a stronger laugh, visibly amused by how heated this young girl could be and didn't seem to have a single problem with swearing. By then the lady would have come back to serve them some nice sundaes. Aoi didn't waste time and dug into the first scoop covered in chocolate. 

"[color=6ecff6]Mmm, it's okay, they're almost all like that.[/color]" She'd say with her mouth half full before swallowing the melted cream. "[color=6ecff6]You haven't seen Yamato, a total downer! You've seen him right? He was down there close to me while kitty cat was talking~[/color]"

She'd scoot her working equipment to the side so she'd have her sundae all in the front lines, her spoon being the mighty blade to strike it all down. 

"[color=6ecff6]I guess he gave you the tail, huh?[/color]"

Aoi casually added as if it were something typical, a mundane event she had seen before.

Another relieved sigh escaped Kanata's lips after Aoi reassured her that she didn't mind the swearing. That was fucking good, since it was 80% of her vocabulary.

[color=ec008c][b]"Yeah, friggin' cat lost it after I said we should call him 'Neko-sama' to not get confused with gender specific titles like sir or ma'am... and by the way, what is he anyway?"[/b][/color] 

Like any other adolescent, Kanata digged into her own ice cream, being careful not to talk with food still in her mouth (thanks to her retarded homo brother), and making a face filled with disbelief as she talked with Aoi. 

Aoi nearly spat out the ice cream in her mouth when hearing the brand new nickname, laughing rather uncontrollably for a few seconds before attempting to control herself. 

"[color=6ecff6]Oh my, whewww, ooohh, haha! Neko-Sama?! He must've lost it! And I thought Kitty Cat was bad.[/color]"

She started to really like this kid, good to know that her intuition and judgement of character were still at peak efficiency. 

"[color=6ecff6]So why'd he even want to talk to you? He's usually alone taking naps when not dealing with erm, stuff? I don't even know what he does these days really.[/color]"

[color=ec008c][b]"Hell if I know."[/b][/color] She took another scoop of ice cream and shoved it into her mouth. 

She was now supporting her head against her left hand, and she started staring towards a faraway wall with a pensive look in her face. 

[color=ec008c][b]"I just know that the dickhead won't let go of me until he is satisfied... with whatever he wants to do. He seems whimsy, so I'd say that if you catch his eye, you're in for some reeeal troublesome missions."[/b][/color] 

She sighed once again. Today, it seemed that she was just filled with sighs. She should stop doing it, otherwise Aoi might get worried... would she, though? For a simple girl she had just met? She seemed like the soothing type, but it was hard to know. 

For a few silent seconds Aoi simply savored the oozing cream on her tiny spoon, slowly pulling out the ustensil from he mouth before swallowing the tasty delight.

"[color=6ecff6]Hmmm, he'll probably let you go after a mission or two. Besides! Look on the bright side, you'll probably live longer with kitty cat![/color]"

Kanata's mouth was made into a frown when she said that.
 
Yakoul was powerful, yes, but often times, the powerful are the most targeted, and they often go for the lackeys first just to get 'em out of the way. 

She did not share her fatalistic thoughts though.

Aoi smiled almost uncomfortably. She had a point, Yakoul was notorious for being, well, efficient and lethal. There was little to no chance Kanata would be in real danger if she'd simply follow its lead. 

"[color=6ecff6]Hey, I've worked with kitty. It's better than most things out there, to be honest.[/color]"

Aoi added with a somewhat more serious tone as she dug the spoon into the already half melted cream of the sundae. 

"[color=6ecff6]Oh! Can I ask you something?[/color]"

She'd suddenly hop into her more enthusiastic expression again, quickly nabbing her pen to indicate she was going to document the response. This made this pretty exclusive, huh?

[color=ec008c][b]"W-Wait, you are going to interview me or something? Like, right here?"[/b][/color] Kanata panicked a bit. 

She was nowhere ready to being interviewed by her idol, Aoi. 

[color=ec008c][b]"A-And if not, why are you going to write down what I say? You'll probably have to censor a lot, since, you know, I tend to swear a lot when I get going."[/b][/color]

She turned her gaze down. She was really ashamed. 

It was one of those few times that Kanata actually felt flustered. 

She put her hands between her legs and started squeezing them with her thighs. 

[color=ec008c][b]"B-But sure... you can ask me anything."[/b][/color] Despite what she said, the girl was really eager. 

Giggling again, Aoi played with the little switch on the top of her pen while the little teen panicked at the idea of being interviewed. 

"[color=6ecff6]I'm going to interview you, but I'll keep it anonymous if you want~ Just between you and me.[/color]"

With that she'd point at Kanata with her sky-blue nail and then back at herself when designating both. Added to that would be a little wink.

"[color=6ecff6]So! I'll only ask you one question, and you can answer however you want, okay? Okay! My question is ... What did you feel, as a shinobi of the Confederation, when in the heat of today's tragic battle?[/color]"

She'd ask with a professional demeanor, only biting the tip of her pen as a small tic while she prepared to take note of what Kanata would say.

Aoi's question hit right on Kanata's least favorite subject of the day. 

[color=ec008c][b]"I... well, there was a lot of... feelings inside of me at that time."[/b][/color] She cleared her throat after that. Aoi took note of every word Kanata uttered "[color=6ecff6]A lot of feelings ...[/color]" 

[color=ec008c][b]"I felt sad because so many people were being killed. There was also some kind of urgency since I had to get my mom outta that big fuckin' mess. I also felt tense when I faced some or other red haired shinobi, just looking at his golden eyes made ever single hair in my body stand on end. Then with Yakoul... I felt safe but not safe [i]safe[/i]. It seemed as capable to kill us as he was to help us if we said one wrong thing."[/b][/color]

As she went on, there was a clear knot in her throat. It felt so damn uncomfortable to talk about it. She wanted it all to go away, but there was no time for that right now. 

[color=ec008c][b]"Then I felt I was about to die when the guy with red hair left. I felt safe after hugging Mirai though... and... that's about it, I guess."[/b][/color]

She avoided the 'I felt worried for my brother', though.  

The uneasiness in Kanata's voice and general posture was more than flagrant to Aoi. Letting her finish, she quickly wrote off most of it before sliding her pen back over the notebook.

"[color=6ecff6]Hey.[/color]"

Aoi would whisper with a gentle and weak voice before reaching out the best she could, because she'd be pretty damn short, to set her hand on Kanata's shoulder as reassurance. 

"[color=6ecff6]You did great, Kanata.[/color]"

Beaming at the tense teen, Aoi was indeed grateful to have at least documented some fresh feelings from someone out of that chaos.

When she felt Aoi's hand on her shoulder, Kanata jumped a bit from the surprise. 

Afterwards, and hearing Aoi's words, though, her heart started beating faster and faster. 

[color=ec008c][b][i]"W-What the hell is this?!"[/i][/b][/color] Kanata shook her head, without saying anything yet. [color=ec008c][b][i]"Why are you getting so riled up after just THAT?! Get your head out of the gutter, me!"[/i][/b][/color]

[color=ec008c][b]"T-Thanks a lot, Aoi-san."[/b][/color] She was done with her sundae and she felt that her emotions would burst out any minute now. 

She promptly stood up and walked over to Aoi's side. 

[color=ec008c][b]"I, um, I... I'll see you later, I guess."[/b][/color] Unsure of what to do, Kanata did the same as her brother did for her everytime he was going to be away. It was odd, but it was the only thing she could think about now. 

She leaned forward and planted a single kiss on Aoi's cheek. Aoi simply blinked, both at the sudden departure but also ... This?! There was no blushing, just complete surprise. After all, she was the seductress in conversations, not the other way around. What strange sensation.

It wasn't until after she was done that she realised that what she had done. It was incredibly stupid, it was a simple reflex ingrained on her after years of living alongside homo Mikoto, but most importantly;

[b]It was incredibly gay.[/b]

That sole thought made Kanata's face red as a tomato and she stormed out of the cafeteria, both hands covering her face. 

[color=ec008c][b][i]"I AM THE BIGGEST FUCKING IDIOT IN EXISTANCE!"[/i][/b][/color] She repeated to herself as she escaped. 

Lifting an eyebrow, Aoi didn't quite grasp this whole scene, like some action movie with the camera shaking everywhere, she just knew how it started and how it ended, nothing in between. Well she certainly was an interesting girl, quite different from the often too solitary konuichi or the typical bitch in those supposed 'high class' gatherings/parties. 

After a moment alone in her thoughts, Aoi smiled at the fact that she'd had managed to slip her card into Kanata's left pocket with the subtle efficiency of any good magician. The kiss on the cheek did make this quite simple, with all that confusion. Aoi would stick around a little more in the cafeteria to finish what she started and pay off the sundaes.

Kanata managed to escape to her assigned dorm. 

It was shitty, yeah, but she at least had a bed. Before in missions with Mikoto (she'd avoid calling him homo for a while), she had to sleep on the floor so a bed was for the best. 

She threw herself on the bed that let out metallic sounds despite Kanata's small frame and just, kind of stared at the ceiling. 

Her heart calmed down after 10-20 minutes, and she felt she could go to sleep, finally. 

Then, a single piece of paper, or something, fell from her pocket. 

She picked it up and looked at it. Aoi's card. 

Her heart started racing again, probably to not let her sleep for the whole night. 

[color=ec008c][b]"DAMMIIIIIT!"[/b][/color] She shouted, without worrying of any other shinobi she might wake up with her cries.
