"I can't image why no one would talk to you." Senshi lied still with his fake smile. He knew exactly why no one talked to her, but he wouldn't say it. "Well, it been fun. But I have to be going now. I might see you later." 'Not'[/i] Senshi added mentally.

Her smile faded at his first comment, and as he walked away she said half to herself-half to him, "The reason no one talks to me is because...they're scared of me." She said, her gaze falling from his back to the ground.
As she stood there in the crowd, it was clear that her statement was true. No one else looked her in the eyes, those eyes that had done such a horrible thing so long ago. The people avoided her and took a wide path around her. Mother's made their children look away as they passed. If someone bumped into her, they would apologize quickly and scurry away, not once looking at her face. For the first time since their meeting, she looked serious and unhappy.
She guiltily looked at the people around her, some scowled and looked away, others looked fearful and bowed their heads, walking quickly in the other direction. No one spoke to her, no one looked at her, no one wanted her. Despite the fact that she had a place to stay and food to eat, she was an outcast, though no one was bold enough to banish her from the village. So she spent most of her time in the forest. Coming into town only when she wanted a bed instead of a tree, a bath instead of a river, or ramen instead of dried meat.
For a slight moment her eyes seemed to brim with tears, as she stared at the ground. Her mind wandered back to the idea of finding Orochimaru's abandoned hideout. If she found it, maybe she could stay there, and leave this place. No one wanted her here anyway, and maybe things would be better in the village without her. This time, she had nothing else to say, even as he said his goodbye and turned from her again.

Okay, not exactly what Senshi had in mind but he didn't want to hear her life story, 'I don't have time for this.' Senshi thought as he quickly vanished among the crowds.
[Cold hearted I know, but Senshi really hates life stories of others.]

"Senshi, Senshi, Senshi, making new friends already?" Zam asked, resisting the urge to laugh out loud. "Never thought you'd be the type really..."
As Zam walked in, he took a sit at the far end of the counter and ordered some Miso Ramen with extra soy sauce on the side. "I've heard this place has the best ramen in the area." Zam said to the cook...

Senshi whipped his head to see his 'master' Zambatuo. "Zam, It's been awhile. What brings you here?" Senshi asked.

"Didn't you hear, I heard they have the greatest ramen around, had to see for myself." Zam said, "Listening isn't your virtue is it?"
"So, who's your little friend here, Senshi?" Zam asked, curiously.

Kitsu's mood immeadiatley brightened at the fact that someone actually cared to ask her name. So, even though she was not directly adressed she answered before Senshi could reply.
"My name's Kitsu!" She said happily bouncing up to this new person with a smile. "What's yours? Are you a friend of Senshi-kun?"
It was as if all thoughts of sadness had left her entirly, like she had never been sad in her life. Her smile hid nothing, and she was back to her normal, cheery, child-like and ever-naive self.

Smiling cheerfully as he looked at Kitsu, "Nice to meet you Kitsu, I am Kyuuketsuki Zambatuo, but you can call me Zam. So, are you from around here?" Zam asked.

Her eyes sparkled as he smiled, no one (aside from Senshi) had ever smiled at her since the incident of her past.
"Yep, born and raised in the Village of Sound," she giggled, then added with a smile, "but I spend most of my time in the forest just outside by the main road."
She then thought, once again of Orochimaru's abandoned home, and how she planned to find it and live there, but decided not to talk about it.
"I'm thinking of leaving this village though..." she said, still looking brightly up at him. "There's usually no one to talk to around here, and there's not much to do either." For a fleeting moment she wondered where her two new "friends" had come from, and where they were going, but she didn't pry. Taking Senshi's previous words into account she was trying to break her habbit of babbling on forever about nothing and everything at once.

"Oh yea, whys that?" Zam asked, "If you don't mind me asking that its..."
His order of ramen came and and he poured all the soy sauce into the ramen. Breaking his chopsticks and digging in, Zam was astonished about the perfect mix of flavors and textures. "This is some very good miso. Good job chef!"

Senshi was irattated so bad right now. So now he just sat up, left his money on the counter and left the ramen stand without saying a word.

Her happiness was even harder to contain. The mosre he asked about her, the more excited she was, no one had ever even pretended to care about her.
"Well," she began, loving the fact that she could look directly at him without him looking away in fear, "no one really likes me here, and besides Senshi-Kun, I don't have any friends either. So maybe everyone will be happier here if I go away, I know I will be!" Somehow she managed to deliver the sob story with a smile on her face, she was much too happy now to let something like this bring her down again. "But I'm not sure where to go...I have a place in mind, but..." she trailed off for a moment, "I think I'd be lonley there too, since I'd be the only person there..."
As Senshi got up rather abruptly, Kitsu turned to him,
"Hey, Senshi-kun where are you going?"

Walking briskly through the streets of the sound village, Katsumi had his attention siezed by eager voices drifting from a ramen stand at the side of the road. He could see the outlines of multiple people at the counter, the high-pitched voice of an energetic girl clearly distinguishable from the rest.
Well, they seem to be friendly enough... He toyed with the idea of joining them, quickly giving in to the idea of a meal and people to talk to. Knowing full well that he may not be welcome he loosened his forehead protector from around his collar and slid it into an inside pocket of his jacket. As he did so a man walked out and away from the ramen stand. Trying not to act suspicious, Katsumi caught his eye and nodded politely as if just passing, before stepping into the ramen stand and seating himself at the other end of the counter from the others.
"A bowl of your finest, if you will" he smiled lightly at the chef behind the counter, shifting his jacket on his shoulders as the weight of his katana hung awkwardly as he sat. Now that he was here, actually talking to these people was alot harder than he had thought...

As Senshi left the ramen shop he eyed another peoson with a katana on his back as he entered the shop. He continued walking outside and headed to a quiet place to meditate.

Kitsu's bright green eyes followed the man to the counter, but she only looked from Senshi to Zam, then to the other man. She eyed his katana with much intrest, but thought he may be yet another villager who wouldn't like her. Wait a minute... she thought, He doesn't seem like he's from here... with only a slight pause, she called to Senshi,
"Well Senshi-kun, if you have to go, just remember those inns I told you about. I hope to see you again soon!"
She smiled again confidently at Zam,
"I'll be right back!" she beamed, and skipped over to the new stranger.
"You're not from around here are you?" she asked standing sort of behind him, so as to make a quick exit is he was one of those who despised her. "My name's Kitsu!" she added with a smile.
She hadn't introduced herself this much since she was quite young, but she loved meeting people, despite the fact that most of them avoided meeting her.
