Concidering-Aiko

She recieved the hug and embraised back. (sorry if I spell stuff worng, this comp doesn't have spell check) "So, if you are a rogue ninja with no village, then what kind of jutsu do you have, meow??"

(it doesnt matter. i understand what it says)

Aiko took a step back.

"I have a couple shadow jutsu's and one with my weapon."

She unstrapped a long, thin, iron pole from the side of her leg.

Neko cocked her head to the side. "A... Pole?" She leaned forward, sniffed it, then grimanced. "It smells like metal.. It's very... ordinairy?"

Aiko laughed and started to spin it in a circle.

"Sure it is, but it's very strong. Most people cave after the first few hits."

Neko nodded, still puzzled. "Being hit on the head could know someone out! But couldn't you just use a sword instead, and have the option of cutting too, meow?"

Aiko shrugged.

"I don't really like blood that much...that's why in most of my jutsu's, if I draw blood it's not that much."

Neko nodded, now understanding. "You don't seem like much of a ninja, meow. Not saying that I doubt your skills, but you're a very peaceful type." She smiled. "I don't know about you, but I'm not good at the whole 'fighting' either."

Aiko laughed.

"I don't really fight, although I will. I like fighting, sure, it's kinda fun, but I don't really. I'm good but not that great either..."

Neko's ears perked up and she giggled. "Really? That makes me think.. If you are a rogue ninja, it must mean that you didn't graduate at any academy, so you're not a Genin, Chunin, or Jounin. In fact, since you never enrolled, you're not an academy student either. Does that mean that rogue ninja's don't care about ranks and what-not, meow?"

Aiko thought for a second.

"I was at an academy...I became a chunin. I left later."

She shrugged.

"I don't really care though, I don't understand why we have them."

She sat down.

"They're just usuless names."

"I'm very weak, so..." Neko turned her head towards the lake. "So I'll be competing in the Chunin exams so I can pretect the one's I love."

There was rustle in a nearby tree "Most ninja's compete to increase their social status, it's refreshing to know that their are some people that aren't as selfish as others!" A deep feminine voice that sounded similar to Gaara's was heard. Sabaku no Kat (Kat of the Desert) was on the lowest branch, gazing at the two figures on the beach. There was a tiny smirk on the girl's face.

Neko's ears twitched and she turned around to see Kat. "Kat-chaaaaaan!" She waved at Kat, happily. "Come over here and meet my new friend, meow!"

Kat silently slid down from the tree and sauntered over to the two girls. She smiled at Neko and turned and analyzed Aiko. She extended her hand "I am Sabaku no Kat, and I'm interested in your name..." She said politely but with no emotion (She doesn't believe in showing emotion)

Aiko raised an eyebrow and shook the girl's hand.

"Hi Kat...what's wrong with my name?"

Kat looked confused "I meant I was interested in knowing your name, I don't believe I know it. My apologies if I confused you."

Aiko laughed and released Kat's hand.

"Oh! No, it's ok, I get confused easily. I'm Aiko."

"Aiko-chan, Kat-chan." Neko waved her arms from one to the other. "Kat-chan, Aiko-chan." Then she turned to Kat, wondering. "What brought you here to the ocean today, meow?"

Aiko looked at Neko and then at Kat.

"Yeah, what are you up to?"

Kat blushed and looked slightly suspicious "Well...I'm looking for Gaara-kun and I saw some cute feminine looking boy with sandy blonde hair walk by. And...I saw you, Neko, so I thought I would say hello." She thought for a moment "What about you two, are you two up to anything interesting?"

Aiko shook her head.

"Nothing much...just thinking. Then Neko came along and we started to talk."

Neko nodded. "Talk about bunches of things, meow!" She smiled happily but also thought about Kat's earlier comment. "Did you check Gaara-kun in his room? If he's not there then he must be out on 'Kage-business'." She added the quotes with her index and middle finger. "He seems to be having extra of it nowadays."
