The Shinobi and the Shinigami(closed with AvaAssassin)

Haru gave a small smile, his cheekbones rising behind his mask before he stood with a nod. "Tashikani." (Sure) He said with a grin. He actually enjoyed walking around at night, looking at the stars and questioning the Golden Dragon of his destiny.

Smiling Yano stood up and as she did so did the dog. Smiling she ran her hand over his head before walking towards the door. "Anata ga shiteiku junbi ga dekite imasu ka? (Are you ready to go then?)" She asked with a small smile as the dog ran in circles around Yano as he waited for her to exit the building first.

Haru answered by stretching and then rising to his feet. He was ready.

smiling Yano Stood and moved to the door where she slipped some normal shoes on insted of the boots she wore when she was in her shinigami uniform. "Soredewa, kidō ni noru koto ga dekimasu. (Well then, lets get going.)" She sais as she pulled a coat on. The dog wagged his tail as they waited for Huru.

Haru rose to his feet and adjusted his outfit. He didn't quite know if he should trust her with how he really looked underneath his uniform. Perhaps he should, but he didn't feel comfortable with it just yet.

Yano walked at a slow pace allowing the old dog to run around in front of her. The night was cold but it didn't seem to bother her despite the fact that she wore no coat. She stopped under a large old tree and took a seat on a large bolder which the tree grew by. The old dog barked happily and ran around the area they were in. Yano simply watched him with a small almost un-noticeable smile on he

Haru couldn't help but smile and crawled up into a tree, sitting on the branch there.

Yano smiled as she watched the dog run and play. After a few moments she got up when he dog didn't return after a little while. Moving over to the bushes her dog popped out reviling the reason why he had disappeared. Smiling she reached down and pulled out a young pup. The little thing was thin and looked like he had been abandoned. " Kon'nichiwa sukoshi arimashita. (Hello there little one.)" She said smiling. Looking down at her dog she smiled and ran her hand over his head. "Anata wa nani o suru hitsuyō ga arimasu ka. Watashi wa kanojo ga taberu koto ga dekiru yō ni, kore o ie ni mochikaerimasu. (Do what you need to do. I'll take this one home so she can eat.)" She told the older dog as she began carrying the young pup home. "Anata wa ienikaeru ka, kitaku shimasu ka? (Are you coming or going home?)" She asked turning to look up at Haru.

"Watashi wa kurudeshou." (I'll come) Haru said with a small grin as he leapt down from the tree.

Once they got back to the house Yano found a place for the pup in a small basket before finding him some food. Once she was done she told Haru that she was going to take a bath and to make himself at home if he wanted to before closing the door to the bathroom behind her. When she came back out about thirty minutes later she wore a beautiful kimono. It faded from black to red with a dead branch. Everything about her seemed to symbolize death even if she didn't mean for it to except the dogs.

Haru had indeed made himself at home when she left to take a shower. He'd settled himself in the center of the living room with his back facing the wall where the TV was stationed with his eyes closed and sitting indian style. He looked like he was asleep but he was really just meditating.

Yano didn't disturb him. Instead she walked back into the kitchen to brew some tea she had grown herself. She had been stocking up on things like that for winter when her garden would sleep for a time. Once the tea was done she walked back into the main room and set a cup in front of him on the floor before sitting down herself. It was late but like always it would take her awhile to fall asleep as it always did.

Haru's brow furrowed for a moment, as though he was having a nightmare or a vision. Any self respecting warrior knew the signs of a vision gone bad. This was one of those moments. What he saw gave him goosebumps, which wasn't easily accomplished. He saw his dragon protecting what looked like a warrior dressed in the colors of death. Together they were strong and yet when one was alone...he saw the great dragon die without the warrior and the warrior fell to its knees when the dragon was removed.

Yano looked over at him and frowned as she sat back up. She really wasn't sure what to do. If she touched him he could strike out and she didn't want to fight him. Standing up she walked back into her little kitchen and poured a cup of tea for him. She was sure it would help in some way. She sat the steaming cup on the small table beside him before sitting on the side of her bed with her own. She wouldn't ask what he had seen no matter how curious she truly was.

Haru slowly opened his eyes, the vision still playing out before his eyes. It took two blinks to clear it from his mind. Slowly, his head turned to the steaming mug of tea and just stared at it for a moment, dazed. One more time he saw the warrior fall to its enemy before he reached out and took the mug in his hands. It was warm to the touch and slowly, he brought it to his lips after removing his mask. Perhaps it was time he revealed his looks to this young woman. Perhaps it was time. She had, after all, trusted him enough with her own identity. Now it was his turn.

Slowly, Haru placed the cup on the stand again and rose to his feet before he crossed the floor to stand where he knew she wouldn't peek. He began to disrobe and then dressed again before he returned to where it was he'd been seated. His gear was laid neatly on the sofa and his medium length black hair fell gorgeously into his beautiful golden brown eyes. He took a small sigh before he seated himself down again and reached once more for the tea. His normal outfit was the only thing not traditional about his entire wardrobe. He wore dark denim jeans that looked rather flexible and comfortable with sneakers and a traditional style looking tee-shirt. All in all, he was quite handsome.

Yano sipped her tea before looking over at him. She couldn't help but give him a once over. He was quite handsome. She couldn't help but be attracted to him but she ignored it and went back to sipping at her tea. "Anata wa ocha o fuyashitaidesu ka? (Would you like more tea?)" She asked as she looked back over and smiled. She looked tired bit didn't feel like sleeping at the current time and so would stay up for a bit longer.

Haru nodded as he finished the last sip of his tea and handed her the mug back with a smile. She hadn't reacted to his normal look. Usually he got a small blush here or some fangirls there. But never before had he gotten just a stranger who knew what he looked like but refused to act on things.

Yano smiled and took the cup from him. She then got up and went into the kitchen. Poring him another cup she brought the tea pot back with her. Setting the cup in front of him she pored herself a cup as well. "Watashi wa ashita machi ni itte, ikutsu ka no koto o hirou. (I'm going into town tomorrow to pick up a few things.)" She told him before taking a sip of her tea. "Moshi anata ga mada asa ni ireba, anata ga nozomunara watashi ni kuwawaru koto o kangei shimasu ka? (If your still here in the morning you're welcomed to join me if you wish?)"

"Arigatōgozaimashita."(Thank you) Haru said softly. Perhaps he would tag along with her...

Nodding Yano drank the rest of her tea. Getting up she took her cup into the kitchen but left the teapot and a cup beside him in case he wanted more. "Watashi wa ima neru tsumoridesu. Watashi wa shinsen'na mono o eru tame ni ichiba ni hayaku ikitaidesu. (I'm going to sleep now. I like to get to the markets early to get the freshest things.") She told him with a smile as she moved back into the small room which she slept in. Yano's home didn't hold many decorations. She had never seen a reason to. If she decorated she would become attached to this small house she bad been calling home.

(Sorry. i've been so fucking busy...)

Haru merely managed a nod and watched as she disappeared back into the small room. He sat there for a while, debating on whether he should train his dragon or simply rest for the night.

Yano woke just before dawn and picked out her clothes for the day. She walked through the main room and took a quick shower. When she came out she wore a pair of old jeans and a black tee with the leather jacket she wore in her shinigami outfit and her boots. Sighing she picked up her wallet and was ready to go but was he going with her.

Haru looked up when she came from the shower. Perhaps it was a good idea for him to journey with her... He rose to his feet and gave a stretch before he headed towards the door, glancing back at her with a questioning look. Was she going to come?

She gave the older dog a pet and moved towards the door leaving the pup she had found in the older dogs care as she walked out the door and began walking towards town. She had a whole list of foods she needed to buy and stock up on as she only went to the market once or twice a week.

Haru followed after her, her silent shadow. He kept his senses on high alert, just to be on the safe side.
