I was sitting on a rooftop drinking sake silently as I watched the moon once more.
Not full... like that certain night.
I looked down from it to see a koi in the pond flip up to destroy the perfect reflection of the crescent ivory light. The koi then proceeded to glide on, as if nothing had happened.
Kisame came wordlessly behind me. “So, how long are we staying in this village this time?”
I just replied, “I thought you liked staying here.”
Kisame scratched his head. “Well yeah...” he conceded. “I do miss having my sword with me though.” Then he said with irritation, “Quit trying to avoid the question.”
“As long as we need to, Kisame” I replied.
“Never a straight answer…” Kisame grumbled as he left.
Though I did not say a word to that, I drank to it.
