Natsumi nodded, "Yeah... I know it wasn't you."<br/><br/>She still looked quite uneasy, despite the fact that she hadn't been involved in the fighting at all. Even so, all it would have taken was one stray punch from either of them and she would have suffered the same fate as the man she was trying to steal away from them, "I'm fine."<br/><br/>Her eyes met Kaede and almost reluctantly the kunoichi asked, "You wanted to have a drink? Unless you're mad at me for trying to steal that guy away from you..."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"All ninja keep secrets, don't they?" Kitano said, almost in a lecturing tone as Kohaku and Kakumei edged by him through the door. When they passed, he stood facing them, much taller and more imposing than either of them, "If you see Kiku... tell her I have need of her."<br/><br/>"Of course." Kohaku said, nodding his head. When they had left, the two younger ninja were once again alone, "Ah, I don't know where she is." He said with a shrug, putting his hands over his head and closing his eyes, "Don't know what Ninjin-san would want with her, either. If you want, I can give her the message once she's returned."<br/><br/>"Seems like you're pretty busy, too, eh? -working for the Mizukage and all."
