The day was hot and young. A man that had glasses, short brown hair, a long coat and nice dress pants had been walking through the Bazaar for just over ten minutes at the time. He had a straight face about him but didn't seem to be mad at anything in particular. It is as if he had something on his mind. And he did. Kaizen, who had been looking for some simple supplies, couldn't find anything he was looking for. Although, he had only been looking for a short while so there were still a lot of shops to look at before he gave up completely. It was nice to see that some of the shops had things that someone could only get in other villages. Ingredients that Kaizen could use for his medicine.

It was almost like paradise to Kaizen. There were so many things that he wanted to buy that he didn't know what to do. He didn't have much money but he wanted to buy everything. The funny thing is, he had only gone to the Bazaar because he needed to put a certain medical herb that could only be found in Kirigakure. Once he had gotten it, he should have left because he wanted to buy more and more as he kept looking. That is, until he seen someone he hadn't seen in awhile. KazeKa- Kaizen stopped himself once he realized what he was about to say. He walked up to the woman and bowed. Yui-sama! When did you get back to the village? Kaizen asked her. she wouldn't know who he was, after all, he had only talked to her once before but she didn't seem too pleased last time either.

He wondered where she had been for awhile, but never really asked anyone. He remembered that she was once Kage but now that Gin took the spot as Kage, what did Yui think of her. On top of that, Gin was Kaizen's sensei! He didn't know why but he was nervous about yui knowing that.

Yui smiled as she walked around the village she made sure to stay in the back alleys as much as she could this was to avoid to many people realizing she had returned once more. She smiled down at Sekkiea her loyal companion for years she was happy she had her with her even when she was alone even with her actions she would soon take she would never betray her. She noticed one boy moving toward her he seemed set to meet with her as he said her name before she placed her finger on her lips signalling for him to keep quiet she sighed as she realized she certainly would have to wear a mask in town pulling out a white fox mask and placing it on her face.

"Listen I am back in town but for the sake of the village I am trying to keep a low profile I think Gin is doing great as a Kage but some rebellious factions may try to use my name to take her down and I do not want this. So this is why I want to keep myself unknown understand ? Anyways it is nice to see you but if you want to talk lets go somewhere a bit more private this mask is quite annoying to wear."

She waited for his reply as she looked around at least no one seemed to notice him calling her name. She remained alert as she smiled at the boy ready to fight at any time if she had to, she would not let her being in town ruin the reign of someone good for the village. Yui was needed to destroy the corruption but she was a bad leader and she understood this, her actions could harm a nation but as she is now she could do those actions and the village can claim they were not responsible. She could be called a danger to the village and be hunted wiping the villages hands clean of any crimes it was best for both sides.

Kaizen watched as the woman put the mask on her face and then began to talk to him as if she didn't just put a mask on. He decided not to question her as he would rather not get his face beaten in by someone as strong as her. Listening to her speak, it was nice. Her voice, it sounded nice. Why Kaizen was thinking of such a thing? He had no idea. All he did was zone out and just listen to her words. Once she had finished talking, he quickly snapped out of his daze and pushed his glasses up his, into the proper spot. He didn't fully understand why the woman would worry about who saw her. Most people wouldn't approach her just because of the intimidation factor she had. She was a Sannin after all.

Okay, there is a nice little restaurant within this Bazaar. No one would know who you are. I-I pro-promise!! Kaizen said as he grabbed her hand and began to pull her along with him. He hadn't realized that he did it, he was just really excited to see her. The last time he seen her, he was going to tell her that he wanted to be friends but never had the chance. Kaizen never did know why he seemed to want to be the womans friend. It must have been because she just seemed like the type who didn't have many friends. That was one reason. As he tugged her along, through the back alley ways, he finally found the spot. Finally letting go of her hand, he pointed to it and looked at her.

Be-best food ever! You will love it. My treat. Kaizen had told her as he opened the door and waited for her to walk through it. Once she had, he followed and then pointed to a table. It was the table he always sat at. Up against the wall and out of the way. That spot should be perfect. He was really excited to see the woman. There was a lot he wanted to ask her. Again, she probably never knew who he was since he only talked to her once or twice, but he didn't care.

She watched as the boy grabbed her hand and began to tug her to come she smiled and laughed a bit if she wanted she could easily stop moving and make him stop as well. However this was interesting as he took her inside a place to eat he said no one would notice her but she was quite sure that was not true. As she removed her mask she sat down across from the boy so he would treat her boy he was in for a shock as she ate massive amounts of food and he would soon discover this.

"Well, you said you would pay so thanks for the meal in advance however be prepared I eat much more than an average person. Let me look at this menu...hum..."

She began to check the choices many things seemed tasty she would just order what seemed the best she only hoped the poor boy could afford her meal. This reminded her of a time she had met someone she had cared about, it started off so simple yet had a tragic ending she died and was killed by Yui's hands. This memory had prevented her from seeking anyone else she was sure plenty of good choices were out there however her heart was not ready to find her partner for life. As the waitress came to the table she would tell her the order as she cleared her throat preparing for the feast.

"I would like six of the number six specials as well as three of the number nine also bring me some Sake while you are at it."

She looked toward the boy smiling and waiting to see what he would eat Yui ate many times the normal amount of food because she had a hyper accelerated metabolism. She had always been like this but it was even worse after practicing Taijutsu for hours and hours but today this was a small meal as she had not had the chance to practice her Taijutsu this day.

Kaizen looked at her as she sat down across from him and told him about her massive eating habits. He could relate as he would often eat more food than anyone he knew. Could it be that he would have some competition? He smiled and nodded, as she began to look at the menu. He did the same. Everything on the menu was actually really flavorful and tasty but that always made it hard to choose what to eat. After a few minutes, he looked towards the woman once more as she spoke to the waitress. She had ordered six number sixes and three number nines. That was a lot of food but not wanting to seem weak, Kaizen nodded when it was his turn and spoke.

I'll have the same! Minus the Sake. It should do, for now! Kaizen handed the menu over to the waitress and then awaited for the food to cook and come. While they were waiting, he figured he would make some small talk with the woman, hoping to see what she had been up to and probably try and just try becoming her friend. So, Yui-chan, what have yo=you been up to? I know its something imp-important, but what ex-exactly? I've noticed that you've been gone for awhile and then you show up all of a sudden. It has mission wr-written all over it. He spoke to the woman, trying to not stutter but failing. He felt embarrassed when he stuttered but that embarrassment made him stutter even more. He would await her answer, hoping it wouldn't make Yui made that he asked.

She listened as he ordered the same things as her minus the sake so he was trying to impress her however his questions about where she had been and her being on a mission was not something she could tell him. This information was far too sensitive and if anyone caught word of what she had been doing it could cause many issues in Suna. She wanted to tell him but this was not possible to much was riding on this information for it to be leaked and on this night she would kill her own father for being a traitor to her nation.

"I cannot tell you where I have been or what I have been doing this is very sensitive information that will change the country. So sorry I cannot go into details but I can say it’s for the best of the nation, this will save Suna for a most certain demise if I had not done it. "

She said this with a very serious tone it was clear she would not tell him more than this she could not risk the future of Suna. The food arrived a few seconds later as many people carried out the food Yui licked her lips as she began to dig in tearing through two of the specials in less than three minutes. She smiled as she watched him eat as well she had a lot on her mind despite talking to him it was clear by the look in her eyes she had serious thoughts going on. The thought of her killing her own father weighed heavily on her shoulders, she would kill the man that raised her and taught her to be a shinobi.

"I am sorry if I seem out of it I have many things on my mind some will be very difficult choices I need to do tonight. These choices would be hard for anyone it certainly will not be something I will get over soon."

Kaizen had listened to the woman tell him that she couldn't tell him anything. He figured as much, seeing as it was top secret. He wouldn't push her for details because it could hurt the mission. Something Kaizen knew all about. He simply nodded, smiled and ate his food. He watched her eat and he could see that she was clearly the better eater than him. It was going to be hard to keep up with her. He had been a plate down and couldn't catch up at all. He enjoyed the food but then Yui spoke once more. That caused him to put his plate down and stop eating. It made him think about what she was saying.

It's okay Yui-san. You know you don't have to shoulder it all by yourself, right? I mean, I am willing to help you with whatever you need. I am more capable than people give me credit for. Kaizen said, smiling. He could see something was going through her head and making her think. Her face was so serious and he wanted to try and make her laugh or at least smile. He then, out of nowhere, flicked a piece or rice at her head. Hoping it would stick to her cheek. Kaizen liked Yui for some reason. Even though he didn't know much about her. She was interesting to him and he liked interesting people. On to of that, he was really cute. Maybe he should try and ask he out on a proper date after the current day was about to end.

Yui listened as he offered to help her but he could not help her with this situation this was something she had to do alone. She would kill her father and she would be heading to Iron country to protect Gin as she was the strongest available shinobi Suna had. She felt the rice flick her as she smiled and laughed a little he was an odd guy but not half bad if she had a calm life he might even be perfect but she was afraid someone would use him to get to her.

"I have to do this task on my own tonight sorry it is a matter of village security and something I cannot mention to you. I am happy to hang out with you right now though, your an odd guy but I enjoyed spending time with you so far. I would not mind seeing more of you but for a while tonight I will be occupied with work if you want to meet up later however that's no issue just tell me where you live."

She waited for his response as she began to devour her food rapidly again finishing all of the food in less than twenty minutes. Only one hour until she had to head off and kill her father she just hoped he would be okay with her coming over afterwards she would need to release some of her feelings.

Kaizen could understand where the woman was coming from. She was a Sannin. Kaizen thought of himself as strong, but nowhere near as strong as her. Her mission must have been really important to not be able to talk about it. Maybe Kaizen could get the details from Gin later. Anyways, he kept on paying attention to what she was saying. He seemed to not stutter around her as much as he did the others. Something about Yui made him calm. The woman was strong and intimidating but once he looked into those eyes, he could see there was some peace within the woman. Kaizen had gone red when she asked him if she could go to his place after she had finished her business. Kaizen didn't know what to say, he had never had another person say something like that before.

I-I suppose that is okay! I-if you do-don't have anything....better to do. The stutter had come back. He was shy and curious at the same time. Being a young man, and having the parents he did, only one thing would cross their mind. Kaizen didn't really know much about anything sexual. He had read things about it and even tried it once but nothing went as planned. He didn't really think about it. Not even at that particular moment. He figured they would just sit in his bed and talk or something.

So, Y-Yui, whe-when are you going to have to le-eave? We can do some other things before you go. Kaizen didn't want to tell her that he had liked her since he was young. It would seem too weird. Not only that but she wouldn't remember him. She was far too busy back then. Or at least he thought so. Kaizen didn't want to bring up the past when there wasn't a need to. He liked Yui, sure. But he didn't know what love was. His mother and father would always tease him about liking different girls when he helped one with studies. His father even teased him when he was tutoring a boy from his class. Kaizen couldn't wait to hear what his parents would say later on when Yui came by.
