Mission - Bring her back (Oki)

[Oki]

"Need to earn it first, eh? Well, you'll appreciate it more that way, I think. That's probably why I'd sooner be a house wife, spend my time taking care of a family. I'll appreciate it more, for a lot of reasons, after I do what I need to before I settle down."

[Yuki]

"In some ways... We're not so very much different, you and I... and yet... on other things - a mile appart," he said with a laugh.

"So, a house wife / teacher, a garden of orchids... And how many children?" he asked next...

[Oki]

"Oh, tons!" Oki said with a bright smile. "I want babies everywhere some day, a whole house full of them. That way I can have my own personal army of ninja babies to send to raid other people's flower gardens so mine is the nicest int he whole village!"

[Yuki]

Yuki laughed. "Well... I don't think my gardening skills will be any threat to you," he said with a smile at the thought. "Two..." he said more serriously about his own future plans. "Two brothers, if it went my way..."

[Oki]

"Nah, you need a daughter some day, Yuki. Every man needs to have a little girl so that when she starts dating, he can realize exactly what he was like. So I wish at least one daughter on you, so that she can wrap you tightly around her precious little finger with a bat of her big eyes."

[Yuki]

"You're just looking for some Konoha teenage boy to get hypothermia every time he so much as looks at her is all you're after wishing something like that on me," he said with a laugh... "I didn't know you were so cruel..."

[Oki]

Oki smirked. "You'll see a little bit of yourself in every single one of them, too, and cringe inwardly when you realize that you used to make some poor man feel just like you do at that precise moment. And I want a front row seat the first time it happens."

[Yuki]

"Don't you know, Oki... men are very good at projecting and deflecting... I'll never put myself in their shoes or them in mine... Hypothermia.. that's it," he said with a laugh... but he was thinking of something else now too... He had a lot more skelletons in the closet than he thought he did...

[Oki]

Oki tilted her head to the side as Yuki fell into silence again.

"Yuki? What's up?"

[Yuki]

Yuki gave a half smile and pet Oki's leg in his lap. "Just thinking too much I guess... Too much history, and reliving a lot of it in the last half hour it seems..." He was concentrating on the legs in his lap, and didn't think they should be there, for one reason or another, but he also needed to seem like a newly wed for this mission as well...

[Oki]

"Chasing ghosts, huh? They can make you crazy, you know. Especially when you keep them to yourself, so if you want to talk, I'm here."

[Yuki]

Yuki smiled at her again. "Most things... I'd talk about... This one, maybe it's better still burried for now..." Yuki was running with her comment about parents... He had dated two girls in his life... And neither of them had parents for Yuki to impress or worry.... Takara had grandparents, and they liked him.... But now he was thinking about Takara again... He never had gotten the closure he wanted from that relationship, and it was still biting him in the ass...

[Oki]

Oki nodded and left it at that. Instead, she turned her attention to the scenery outside the window to allow Yuki some privacy with his thoughts.

[Yuki]

Yuki took the privacy and used it to think, though he never got up, or let go of Oki's legs where they were.

The next time she would look over however, she would find Yuki had fallen asleep where he sat, silently breathing in what looked like a very peacful slumber...

[Oki]

Oki smiled and settled herself comfortably into her seat without disturbing him and shut her eyes. She didn't find it as easy to fall asleep, and soothing as the quiet clattering of the train was, so she hummed softly to herself until she too finally drifted off.
