Shikisha's Favorite Spot {Closed to all but Mizuki}

she smiled and took his hand "excellent, i know quite a few good resteraunts,"

Lifting her up, he made a motion for her to lead the way, stepping out of her path.

she walked past him to lead the way, kissing his cheek lightly as she walked by.

Reaching a hand up to his cheek for a second, he smiled. Turning to follow her, he began thinking about actual food, enjoying his thoughts for a while.

she walked through the streets of konoha, only seeing a few people go past due to the late hours. She looked back at shiki and smiled brightly.

Speaking quietly, so as not to disturb the sleeping people in the buildings nearby, he asked her.
"So where are we headed?"

"there's a restaraunt nearby, about a 5 minute walk. Lovely place, friendly people and excellent food. The perfect place if you ask me," she walked beside him, looking relaxed and calm, unlike her usual self, busy and on edge

"Sounds great." Shikisha said. He walked at a pace equal to her's, reaching for her hand, he looked down at her, trying to meet her gaze.

she noticed his hand and placed her hand in his. She turned her head and looked up at him

"This is nice." He commented, taking his cigarette out of his mouth with his open hand. A spark ran through his hand and fried the cigarette. "Eco-friendly" He joked, putting the leftover ashes in a pouch underneath his jacket.

she laughed quietly "it never stopped you before," she also joked

"Heh. Well, I suppose talking to animals changes your perspective." He said, continuing the pace, and looking at the lanterns that lit the dark street.

she grinned and walked with him, walking quite close to his side due to the fact that they were holding hands. She looked up at the sky, a full moon had just revealed itself from behind the clouds.

"Beautiful night." He said, more to break the silence than anything else. He smiled at her, and wondered aloud. "I wonder if the restaurant serves any good booze...."

she returned the smile and raised a slender eyebrow "yes, plenty..." she let her gaze linger slightly before looking in front of her again

"Hm. That shall be nice. Living off of water and onigiri for a week really makes you appreciate the finer attributes of a good dumpling and some real alcohol." He said, trying to spot any sign of human life besides the two of them and the few guards that walked by.

"yeah, a good meal really helps," they turned into another street, which was completely empty "we're nearly there,"

"Not exactly the most famous restaurant is it?" He asked, looking around at the completely empty street they had turned into. He understood that it was late but...

she grinned "its the next street," she caught a scent of food. good food at that "you smell that? That's the restaraunt,"

"Hmm." His mouth watered at the scent of real food. "Wonderful." He said.

she looked at him and giggled. She said nothing as she continued to walk

Shikisha sighed, taking out a pack of cigarettes. Taking one out, he lit it and offered one to Mizuki.

she smiled gently and shook her head "like i said, i'm gonna give romance a try," she gave him time to realise what she meant

"Hm?" He questioned, flicking his cigarette away. He cocked one eyebrow and said. "Tonight is not a night for thoughts or riddles."

she rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek again "figure it out..." she grinned
