Yuki was pushing a wheel barrow down the street of Konoha filled with a few pieces of lumber and several carpentry tools. It was out of his way, but he was purposely walking past Oki's house to see if he might be able to catch her eye...

Oki was out on the balcony of her apartment, hanging a set of wind chimes. They had a more musical quality than most, and Oki gave them a proud prod once they were secure and listened to the tinkling music of the notes. When she heard the rumble of the wheelbarrow below she looked down curiously.

Yuki was looking up at Oki as he walked, but under his reflective glasses, and made it look like he was concentrating on keeping the barrow on course as he headed past, at least hopefully seeming oblivious...

Oki leaned on the rail with a smile as Yuki made to walk past and waved down at him.
"Yuki!"

Yuki tilted his head up, trying not to smile, and set the wheel barrow down. "Well good morning," he said, letting a bit of the smile filter through. "Have you managed to find your apartment under all that dust?" he asked, teasing slightly...

Oki laughed. "Yeah, I ended up with some unexpected help but I finally have an apartment! Where are you off to with that?" she nodded toward the wheelbarrow. "Not helping Mrs. Harmony again, are you? It might be a trick to introduce you to a darling young lady she just knows you'll get along famously with."

"Well... Yes, actually," he admitted. "And maybe you're absolutely right..." he said pondering deep thought, scratching his chin and all, "since she did ask if my lady friend from the other night would possibly come along as well..." he said returning his gaze up to her with a smile...

Oki laughed. "Alright, I'll be right down if you'll just give me a minute."
She disappeared back into her apartment for a moment, returning to the balcony with something tucked under her arm. She pulled the door closed behind her, stepped lightly up onto the balcony and easily leaped off. She landed just behind Yuki in a crouch and stood up while the dust began to settle holding out his jersey.
"I forgot to give this back to you the other night."

Yuki shook his head and laughed. "Will it be nearly as lucky if I get it back?" he said, not taking it but picking up the handles of the barrow again and starting to walk.
"So a parrot was in the street and you used it to blackmail Kurado into helping you clean?" he asked with a little laugh...

Oki laughed and hung on to the jersey. "It would have been a good idea but no there was no parrot. And Kurado would have looked at the apartment and asked what was wrong with it. To be honest, I don't know the name of the man who helped me. He just kind of... appeared, and then offered to help."
Oki omitted the part about finding him rubbing her bra against his cheek. There were just some things she didn't want to think about...

Yuki shook his head. "Well, there's bound to be lots of mysterious men in a ninja village," Yuki teased as they walked. "At least you've got your apartment back the way you want it..."
Yuki checked over his shoulder quickly, but then returned to the road ahead. "You sure you don't mind helping Mrs. Harmony out for a little bit today?"

"No, not at all! I didn't have any plans for the day so I may as well make myself useful to some body and it just means that I'll have to stay for lunch." Oki gave a mock sigh. "I mean, I'd hate to make you go through it alone, so I'll take one for the team."

Yuki smiled. "Oh, good then. I'd hate to see you work in a kitchen for a morning and not get to eat... That would just be torture... Unless you think I should be in the kitchen and you want to frame in some window planters that is?" he asked, nodding towards the tools...

"Well, I could try but I've never used a hammer before in my life! They probably wouldn't be very good planters by the time I finished with them, so it's probably best to let you do it. Besides, if I'm in the kitchen it means Mrs. Harmony has less chance to match-make for you."

Yuki raised and lowered his brows again once quickly as if he didn't really believe that, "or more time to... Depending on how you look at it..." he said, looking over at her with that goofy, very happy grin on his face...
