Shiro and Kiyuki sat in silence for a while. Shiro enjoyed the beauty of the garden. Kiyuki felt drawn to nature because out of the nine kyuubi tails her middle tail was earth. That meant that although she could use the other abilities of the kyuubi to some degree, earth was her main strength. "You are not jealous of Kasumi correct? I hope that when we agreed to end our relationship you were okay with it. I wouldn't want there to be any discomfort among us." Shiro said calmly. Kiyuki just sat in silence for a moment before sighing.<br/><br/>-----<br/>"Yes indeed I did Kasumi. I wanted to know if I could trust you with a task. It is very important and I'm not sure who else I can turn to with this. If you want to decline it I understand completely." Lox said with concern in his voice.
