VII: Return

[ero_hime]

Coming back home is never quite the same experience.

I knew I shouldn't have left in the first place...

I fear I may be out of the loop again. Anyone care to fill a woman in?

I'm not sure of all what's going on, but Tsurude-sama's called a meeting, and it's something to do with a group they're calling Akatsuki and with Orochimayu. Apparently one of Kakami-san's former genin's been kidnapped, and the Uzumaki kid's been hurt. We're all on high alert.

Pretty poor welcome-back, but...welcome back, Jimaiya-sama.

[ero_hime]

It just had to be you, didn't it?

Right.. Home sweet home, huh?

[dogtag_ninja]

Had to be--?

Have I done something?

[ero_hime]

..Nothing. No.

[yuuhi_kureno]

I can't say I've been high in the information loop since going through a lot of rehab, but if there's anything I can do for you Jimaiya-sama, I'd be happy to oblige.

Welcome back.

[ero_hime]

Oh.. right. About that. You've been doing well, I hope?

[yuuhi_kureno]

Well enough for you to kick my ass as promised, but why mention that past nonesense? considering the conditions that had me in there.

You haven't been around, although it's not uncommon for you to be out of the village. Are you doing well?

[ero_hime]

That's good to hear. And you've been through enough, I think. Kicking your ass can wait for now.

Ah well.. you know me, my attention can never be captured for too long.. You haven't missed me, have you~?

Heya, Jimaiya-sensei! Uhm... after I saw you at the monument last night I went and saw Tsurude-sama (like, not RIGHT after, cos that would have been super-stupid but the next day) and asked for the chance to try and get my field medic and jounin status re-instated.

He said yes. So I gotta go train now and make sure I get it.

So... it's gonna be a while, but I'll see you soon, okay? Take care, and kick some ass if you need to. I'll miss you.

[ero_hime]

*siiiigh* And I just got here too. One would think you were avoiding your deal auntie Jimaiya~

Just take care of yourself, alright? Can't have your prospective wives meeting you when you're all bloody and broken. That's more a second date type of thing.
