Or with..him? It sounded like he was going to say "me" at the end of that sentence. She shrugged it off and smiled. " Aisu doesn't like beds actually. But I...I guess I'll sleep alone?" Ending her remark with a question , she smiled and took the offered meat. "Its fine, I actually eat a lot without such things." Her fangs extended even more as she smelled the meat. So yummy..so good. Ah! Her belly was sent aligh with such hunger. Somehow she contain herself and ate somewhat decently, not minding that he could be watching. "Yumm.." she mumbled in-between bites. So very good. Almost gave her a foodgasm for a second there.

Puppetry eh? She watched in fascination as he began his construction. Her Inuzuka
Mind took over and she began analyzing the things he did. All very fascinating in her view. Then again isn't anything you don't know fascinating? "So puppetry?"

Tennuyan smiled. "Did you not want to sleep alone?" He asked her as he was sewing a puppet together. He was focusing on the legs right now. He was going to give it 6 of them. and it was going to have 2 arms, and horns. It's a good thing he had some bones left over! He smiled, "Yea. I'm a Puppeteer. You haven't met Jim yet have you?" He smirked and walked outside. "Follow me."

As he got outside he focused his chakra and pulled forth Jim. The giant four armed puppet walked over to Rysa. It lowered it's upper left hand and offered it to her to shake. "I'm jim. Poke, Prod on back." Jim raised his sword arm with the sword in, "Slash." He lifted his Axe arm, "Hack. They friend help me fight." Tennuyan released the puppet after the hand shake and smiled. He walked back inside and began sewing again.

She followed him to the outside of the small cottage. Insanely curious she watched Intensely. Tenn stood still then suddenl the strangest of puppets came along. "Ah.." she blinked making sure she saw right. Bizarre...he even offered to shake her hand! So in turn, after feeling quite odd, she returned the hand shake. "Just..delightful." She told Tenn, Praising him ever so slightly.

She watched him go in but remained outside for just a bit longer. Night time. It was dark already and she still felt so awake. Her body felt more alive at night, this day proving no different from anyothers. " I wouldn't mind sleeping with you but..." she softly said hoping he couldn't hear. "But..wouldn't that be weird?"

Age : 36 Posts : 340

Tennuyan perked up at the 'weird' comment. He turned his head and realized she wasn't there. "I wouldn't mind.... I don't think it would be weird at all." At this point in time He had finished the main body of the creature. A torso with six legs. He smiled at his creation and walked outside. "I know this is soon, and please don't leave or get scared, and feel free to say no, But I'm falling for you, fast and hard..... I was wondering... if you'd like to be my girlfriend?"

He paused and smiled softly. He hoped she wouldn't leave, attack, or say no, but he'd rather her say no than leave or attack. He really liked her and was hoping for the best. He walked over and began putting out the fire. He waited for her answer before heading back inside to work on the body of the puppet.

She looked over at him, cautious. Girlfriend? He was nice and the thins he had just said made her smile. And happy. "I won't say no...but I won't say yes." She told him, unsure what she herself wanted. Slowly she walked up to him and hugged him, reveling in this close contact. She wanted to first know him and spend time with him before saying something for sure. Plus being missing ninja, anything could happen.

So she smiled up at him. This eventful night. Over all eventful day. It was something she could get used to. With time that is.

Tennuyan smiled. "Better than nothing. perhaps one day we will be boyfriend and girlfriend. Perhaps even we can live in this little cottage of mine and eventually even have a family! But it's a bit too soon to concern ourselves with that." He chuckled. He stepped back inside and took down another pelt and began to build the upper body. His plan was for it to have 6 arm like things. He wanted to use stone tips as the hands, and as weapons. He had an image in mind and he had a goal.

He yelled outside to her, "If you liked Jim, you're gonna love this one!" He began forming the 6 tentacle like arms. "Can you go around to the back of the house and open the box back there and bring me 6 of the stone spear heads please?" He began making a paste that would hold the heads into the slots, and went back to working on the body. Once he completed the body and the head, He would set the stones, and let it dry overnight. In the morning he would finish the puppet.

Wow way too fast. But she laughed all the same. Well maybe... "maybe we might" she told him laughing still. "Sure thing...hold on.." quickly she settled on all fours..and dashed to the back of the house thing. It was even more quiet here and dark. It tempted her to stay. But she had to move on. It didn't take long to spot the box and she retrieved the six stone spear heads from within. This time she walked slowly back, enjoying the night time breeze.

"Here you go~" She lightly said, handing him the objects he asked for. Curious as every she watched him, being insanely interested.

Age : 36 Posts : 340

Tennuyan set the paste on the bottom of the rounded stone head. He set them each in their grooves of the 'arms' and set them to the side. "Those are gonna sit over night." He grabbed the loose ends and sewed them onto the body. He attached the head to the body and brought the torso onto the table. He sewed the base of the torso onto the body and began channeling his chakra into it. His puppet would be ready in the morning.

He sat down on his bed and waited for Rysa to come in. He was hoping to lie with her and cuddle her throughout the night. He really liked her and loved being able to express that. He pet Aisu while he waited and asked him, "Did you like the meat, Aisu?"

Spoiler:

She stood by the door and watched him. He was lovely,just lovely. "Yes Aisu did enjoy the meat..." She gently told him. It was late. Nearing midnight perhaps? Ah lovely time. She took no notice of it. Maybe she should. Or maybe she should keep her mind on what's going on. Sleeping for instance. THAT was most important. Soon he was on the bed. A bed. Well the only one in the room. She sighed softly. "You really want to..?" she asked ever so softly.

It would take time for her to be her loud self. For now she stayed the quiet meek girl. Ever waiting , ever patient. Her feet carried her over to him and slowly..she sat beside him. Her smiles becoming somewhat permenate by being around him.

Tennuyan looked to her, "Well that's good that he did. I'm glad." He smiled. Then he turned to her, "Why did you not want to? If not I'll sleep on the floor. It's no problem." He walked over to a little cabinet he had and pulled out some pillows and some blankets. He did really want to sleep with her but he was starting to get the hint that she didn't want to. It hurt a little but he couldn't expect anything else.

He began to lay out some of the blankets on top of each other to give him some cushion from the floor and dropped the pillows near the top. He walked over to her and kissed her passionately and when he pulled away he smiled. "Good Night, my missing princess." He smiled softly and slightly chuckled at his little play on words. He lied down in the floor and curled up into the blanket and began to drift into sleep.

Weird. He was weird. And she could tell tat she hurt him, even just a little. Sighing she waited until he started to drift to sleep. Sleep, honestly she needed it. More than anything. But that could wait for another time. Her mind was just to active to fall asleep. So she wouldn't. Waiting and waiting till Tenn fell asleep.

Soon the time came and she got up, she didn't want to wait. Her glance fell upon him. She felt so odd seeing him there. So odd that she was actually spendung the night with someone. It didn't help to know that he was male to.

Her feet then carried her out the door into the space infront of it. And a gentle breeze floated along. Her body found the ground and she sat down, taking in the night time beauty. She didn't want this to end. Even though she had a slight fondness for violence, she actually didn't want to see it happen. Loving the silence. Afer all, silence is golden, Right?

But soon she could tell it was to be interuppted by the future soon.

Tennuyan awoke at the sound of the door and looked towards the bed. He saw Aisu, but not Rysa. He slowly stood up and peered around the room. He saw nothing so he walked to the window and he saw Rysa outside. 'I wonder why she's out there...' He watched for a moment. He opened the and performed some hand signs and lit the fire from the door. He walked to the back and grabbed some more meat. He came back around to the front of the shack and tossed the meat into the fire.

"Still hungry?" He said as he sat on a log near the fire. "If you want to be alone, I'll head in shortly. I understand. Today was.... uhh.... quite" and he chuckled softly before finishing the sentence, "Eventful." He pulled a few out of the fire, and waited for the rest.

It was a rather cold night that day. The wind blew and the night criters had started to wander about now. In the distance she could hear the crickets chip. Her breath came in slow deep takes. She was relaxed so to speak. Well as relaxed as one can get after having a rather hetic day. Some kid, Midara, had started the day so loudly it still had bothered her. She didn't like that at all one bit.

Then there was Tenn, the guy she met earlier today. He seemed so nice and polite, save the few moments he came on to her. But she knew he had meant well. It as the whole "Portecting" her thing that caught her up the most. Why? After all she was a girl, that was mostly the first reason. A girl needs needs protecting, Bam! Her 'prince' comes and saves her. Yawning she noticed Tenn coming over.

He said something but then she got distracted by the meat. The smell made her belly rumbler with a deep kind of hunger. She hadn't eaten in ages and now here was food. Sighing she knew she shouldn't be eating up his possible supply of food. It was so hard to pass up. Her eyes then slowly travled over to him. She blinked a few times before bothering to answer. "Its okay, just some thinking, you know?" A short paused followed inwhich she tok the time to actual study him. It was a suprise to her really, she normally did that within a few seconds of meeting someone. Then again, she had seen him....She mentally shook herself. Nope, not going there.

Age : 36 Posts : 340

Tennuyan smiled softly. "I know what that's about." He finished the rest of the meat and pulled it out of the fire. "Do you like yours rare, or well done?" He asked and offered her two different levels of cooked meat. He looked around as he ate a piece of meat, and thought for a moment. "Wanna pull some tricks on Konoha later or even tomorrow? Attack random trade caravans, random ninja on missions, even a small bit of the city? If not that's fine. I'll just build another puppet." He looked down at the fire, "Want me to put this out?"

He watched the fire as it burned. Fire was such a beautiful element. So destructive, but so beautiful. He moved his bare feet around in the dirt. The earth was such a destructive yet beautiful force. He looked over to Rysa, and figured she could be a destructive yet very beautiful force too if she wished. He couldn't help but chuckle when he thought about how everything in this world, was beautiful, yet, oh so very destructive. Humans being the worse.

She naturally took the offered rare meat. It was closest to her tastes, yet civil. Her eyes closed as she enjoyed it, looking at the figure beside her ever so often. He seem absorbed in the fire, watching it dance around. Its casted such a nice light around them, scaring the near coldness away. She liked it yes, but that was far out of her element. Water...that was her. She could put it out herself, but she enjoyed how it made the scenery look. That and she was thankful for the semi warmth it brought.

Once again she let her eyes settle on him. A prank? Her body shifted slightly, as if she didn't know what to say. That woul mean getting close to the village. And she wasn't sure if she was ready for that. Sure she was fine with being the half mile that ther were. But closer? Just thinking about it made her slightly nervous. "No, I wouldn't like to go." Was her response. She shirfted again. In the times that they talked, it ws mostly to the point, without meaning. Simple chit-chat to fill the idle air.

So she made a small attempt. After all it was she that wan't giving a full response. It was she that still felt ncomfortable in another persons company. "Why are you so close to Konoha?" A simple question, one that had an answer to pretty much. He was a Nukenin, so his answer should be simply, "Im wandering about." Or some such thing. BUt tried she did, which caused her to smile.

Age : 36 Posts : 340

Tennuyan shrugged. "Ok, I don't mind building another puppet if you don't have anything better to do." And he continued to stare at the fire. Then her question came. Why was he so close to konoha? He didn't know a valid reason... He just kind of left, and found this run down shack, and just built it up to be livable. Nothing major, nothing fancy, nothing safe, but still a home.

"I'm not sure. I just kinda wandered out here and happened to find this shack, abandoned. So I fixed it up a little, I brought in a bed made of bird feathers and bear skin, I made some sheets out of cloths I found, and I killed bears, rabbits, and other creatures for food. I didn't want to, I had to. I skinned the animals, pulled the bones, and cut and stashed the meat. The meat stayed outside so it didn't stink up the cottage, the blanket and rocks are there to keep animals from getting to it, I have the box in the back for stones that I shape, and for some of the bones that might be salvageable. I wash off the skins in the lake not far from here, not the one we met at, and I hang them in here for puppet making. I make string out of animal fat fibers, muscle tissue, and stringy plants, and I've had this needle since I lived in Konoha. I guess it was luck that allowed me to stumble upon this place, or perhaps it was fate. Who knows?" He shrugged and walked to the side of the house. "I have Jim help me carry the animal bodies and the wood, and he cuts down the trees for me. I guess these past two years as a Nukenin, I've had everything anyone could need, food, shelter, clothing, company. I've just craved for a human companion for the past 2 years. It get's lonely out here without anyone to talk to. I guess if you lived with me, I'd have anything I could ever ask for." He looked back to the fire after talking to her and tried to control it. He wanted to shoot it into the sky and be able to free manipulate it. Pull it from the fire itself, morph it, and play with it.

She looked at him, curious. He lead a rather simple life and choose to settle down rather than move about the lands. It had her interested , as it was quiet different than her own . Slowly she stood and walked over to him. It took time. But she managed to get to him without falling asleep. Sleep sounded so nice right now, it was something she needed badly but she ignored it once again putting herself last.

Slowly she touched him, placing a light hand on his arm. "I'll do it if you want..." her eyes looked up as she tilted her head up. She wanted to something for him at least...just to repy him slightly. No matter how stupid it may seem. "Oh yea..I would.. I guess..Like to sleep with you?" Her face turned red in an instant, but somehow she managed looking at him. "For you know...company..."

Age : 36 Posts : 340

Tennuyan smiled. It's nice to sleep with someone. "That sounds good. We'll head out in the morning. Just run whenever you feel like it, I'll do my best to hold them off, Fend for your own safety first, ok? I'd be lost if I lost you, especially on something so foolish as just a prank. I can escape without too much harm if I'm smart. I don't know what your elements or your special abilities are, But make sure you can escape." He lied down on the bed and waited for her to lie down as well.

As soon as she did he'd wrap his arm around her, cuddle up to her, and sleep well for the first time in a while. He enjoyed her company and even more so enjoyed sleeping next to her. He gave her a kiss and whispered in her ear, "I love you." And he began to drift to sleep.

Age : 29 Posts : 796

She froze slightly at his words. He loved her? Just like that? It was so simple for him to say. It made her queston how much meaning it had behind it. Three words said to simply and so quickly. Mentally she was shaking, though her body did not show it. Why..? Why did he do this? He must have know that she wasalone, every Nukenin was. So was it just out of comfort that he was doing this? Or...or did he really feel this way? Too many questions to ask herself. But they hold so much importance..It was important for her to know. Crucial in fact.

But it was getting late. Or rather it was late. Tenn was already fast asleep by her, so why shouldn't she drift off into 'wonderland'? Silly thoughts, thats why. She sighed. She would leave this train of thought for now. For now..she wouldn't dwell. Her hands gentlty touched upon his skin. So warm. So different from being alone. Her eyes slowly closed, Drifting to sleep.

--------------------
The Next Morning:

The sun slowly started to rise, casting a bright glare on the surroundind landscape. The ground seemed to shine with the morning dew that had just fallen that dawn. It was already morning, it was time to face Tenn again. Well not face, but rather see him wake up. So mentally she prepared herself to be told sweet nothings, nothings that she liked hearing. Still she didn't know where to place her feelings. Right now she saw him as just a friend, and nothing more.

"Tenn..." Quiet as usual. Sweetly said, sweetly done. Morning brings new times. New times...new start? Or..would somethings just not go? Most likely he would be the same. She didn't mind, she rather enjoyed it.

Age : 36 Posts : 340

Tennuyan rose slowly from his dream state and opened his eyes. He sat up and stretched and looked to her smiling, "Something I have waited two long years for.... Waking up to the most beautiful creature to walk this earth." He rose to his feet and walked to his puppet table. He brushed it off with his hand and patted it. He turned to Rysa, "You always seem so interested in my puppeteer work, when we get back from Konoha today, I'll let you design, and name my next puppet." He smiled.

He walked outside and felt the cool gentle breeze of the air. He enjoyed this breeze this lovely morning, and He was glad he could share it with Rysa. He walked back inside and grabbed his exploding pouch. He walked Rysa outside, went back in and closed the door. He hooked the pouch back up, and climbed out the window. "It's easier to get out of the house from the window, than it is to get in." He looked to her smiling, "Ready to go torture Konoha? Or instead, perhaps we should seek out the Shantakai.... Something good might come of it." He began walking out towards where he suspected the shantakai to be.
