Hikari didn't push any farther when he nodded, confirming that he indeed had a headache. No matter how badly she wanted to know, she couldn't ask and she wouldn't push, even though it was in her nature to be curious, to relentlessly seek answers, although not irrationally so. This spoke of how much she respected him. Beyond that, it wasn't fair for her to demand answers unless she was willing to give answers in return, and even though she trusted him more than anyone, she didn't know if she was ready for anyone to know, including him. She wouldn't know where to begin, at any rate.<br/><br/>Despite having masked her slight disappointment, it appeared that Daichi had noticed anyways. It didn't matter, anyways, she was hardly disappointed, and not for the reasons one might expect. It wasn't because she was boy crazy like many of the other girls, or because she dreamed of marriage or any other such nonsense, she didn't. She had better things to be concerned about than that, including finding the man who'd killed her family and taking them down. Worrying about boys or being caught up in romance would only slow her down, and she didn't have time for that. No, any disappointment she felt was not because she yearned for a relationship. Truly, she couldn't tell you exactly why. Maybe she yearned for love, because she had lost her parents so young and her brother was either dead or he'd left her, maybe she just wanted and needed to know that she was loved. She would never show or admit such things, though. Beyond that was also the hint of doubt somewhere inside that wondered, after everything was over and the dust settled, if she would live a lonely life or if she could find some semblance of normality. She couldn't worry about such things now, though. It was nothing more than a fleeting thought, gone from her mind as quickly as it had come.<br/><br/>Hikari nodded lightly when he said that she knew he didn't sleep much anymore. She did know, though she didn't like it. Everyone needed sleep, even sleep ridden with nightmares was better than no sleep. She had learned this firsthand. She had gone through a brief period where she barely ever slept. For a while she didn't sleep at all, but eventually her body demanded that she rest. Whenever she slept all she saw was her home burning and the bodies of her parents lying there on the floor, the blood covering them, the walls, the floor, everything. At least when she pushed herself to the point of exhaustion she didn't dream when her body finally gave out. Still, she couldn't go on that way and she knew it, so she'd sleep a while, until she woke up to a nightmare, then she wouldn't be able to sleep again that night for fear of going back to that place. Even now she didn't sleep as much as most, but she slept for than Daichi, anyways. She'd learned to cope with the nightmares. They didn't come as much, and when they did she wasn't as terrified as she had once been. She knew it was different for him because he didn't remember and that was hard on him. Not having answers was hard, she knew that firsthand, but she couldn't imagine not knowing anything from your past beyond a certain time.<br/><br/>She looked up at him when he asked the question. "Honestly? I'm not sure. But we do have reason enough to believe it's him, and if it is then it means he's responsible for at least the deaths of almost an entire clan in Konoha, not to mention your village and who knows how many others. That has to be reason enough to check it out." she assured him. She had thought about it as much as he had, wondered whether or not they would be allowed to do this, but she had to believe that they would. They had every reason to allow it and not much to keep them from it. They might make them hold off if they felt that they had more pressing missions to be completed first, but she saw no reason for them to be denied altogether. With that she finished her food and leaned back in the chair. "You know, I'm kind of feeling dessert." she grinned playfully, trying to lighten the mood once again.
