.Tebisu Hikari. The pink haired Medical Ninja made her way out of her new office. Her large brown dog, Ichi, followed closely behind her. She couldn't believe anything that was happening. After the recent disappearence of her love and the former Lord of Kibougakure, Hideaki, the Elders have choosen her as the new Leader of the village. It was so recent, just about a week ago she gave birth to her son, who still was unnamed. That didn't matter though, she loved the baby all the same. Right now, she had left her child with her Mother and Father who were staying in a house just on the edge of the village.
Hikari shook her head slightly as she zipped up her black coat. It was still the dead of winter and she couldn't afford to get sick. "Lady Hikari." She repeated to herself. "Family, Friend, Single Mother, and worst Lady on the face of the Earth...That's what will be on my head stone Ichi-baby." The big brown dog just stared up at her unsure of what she was talking about.
"Nevermind. Lets just go get something to eat." Hikari laughed softly before walking towards the nearest resturant. Ichi followed behind her.

Aki ran his ahnd through his already messy hair. He was worried about Hikari. He knew about the recent string of events in her life. He knew she must be stressed, upset, happy, sad and probably a whole lot of other emotions. What he didn't know is that she was headed to the restraunt he was leaving. He saw her coming. In spite of the condition he knew she was probably in, he smiled. She was his best friend after all.
Aki approached, smiling still. His lazy way of walking almost seemed faster, to get to her quickly. He reached her and said, "Hello Hikari...or should I say Lady Kibou?" He asked, trying to start things off with a small joke. "You going inside the restraunt?" He asked, a little bit after, tossing his head slightly towards the building.

Hikari stopped in front of Aki, looking down at the ground until she heard his pathetic joke. She laughed softly before looking up at him. "Its Hikari and you're pathetic." She said softly. "And yes I am going to eat..." Hikari smiled brightly up at him despite of how all of her emotions flooded over her. "Care to join me oh one without a brain-sama?" Ichi rolled his eyes before trotting into the resturant ready to eat.
Hikari playfully nudged Aki before following after Ichi. "Come at least sit with me..I got some things I need to tell you." She said looking back at him.

He put his ahnd to his heart. "That was so cold...Lady made-of-ice" He joke and he made it clear it was a joke. He didn't want to upset his best friend, not anymore then she already was. "And I'll join you...you seem only to get colder" He said, his words drifting apart as he clutched his heart tighter, as if he was freezing from being around her. "A hug....it'll....help" He choked out. He then went back to his normal self, well, the normal self he should be. "Of course I'll sit with you...but I still wnat my hug" He said, grinning like the boy he was. Actually, he thought she needed the hug more then he did. He knew she did.

Hikari quickly turned and gave him a nice, warm hug. Something she enjoyed more than she possibley thought she could. She looked up at him happily as she still held onto him. "See...I'm not Lady made of ice.." she said softly before letting him go. "I'm just Lady Tired..." Quietly she grabbed Aki's hand and lead him into the resturant with her. Hikari was tired. Having to care for her baby in the middle of the night, and the several times she spent crying over Hideaki's disappearance. Ichi had already sat himself on a stool at the bar, waiting for his mother, and Aki-kun.
Hikari sat down first and she let go of his hand slowly. "One order of my usual and the beef bone for Ichi please...and whatever Aki would like...Oh, and could I get a bit of sake?" She ordered. The man behind the bar nodded slightly before getting to work.

Aki gave her smile as he hugged her back. "Aw, I guess you right...and you don't look tired" He said, trying to cheer her up, even though she didn't seem so sad anymore. he then was lead to the restraunt. He smiled as he was dragged. "I forgot you were forceful" He said, chuckling a bit. "And sake....after you had a baby..I don't know" He said softly, once he heard her order. He then asked for some sake himself. "So, Hikari, how's the baby? What is the baby? What's the name of the baby?" He fired off at her, making, what he thought, was small talk.

Hikari looked to Aki with a raised brow. "Its not like I'm having another one.." She said softly. "Not for a long time...And he's fine...Its a boy, and his name is...I haven't named him yet..I've been calling him Baby-boy...I really hadn't had the time to name my own child." She rested her head on a hand as she became deep in thought. "Does that make me a terrible mother already?" She quickly asked. "...Hiroshi...I like that name...Tebisu Hiroshi...Or just Hiro...I think I like Hiro better than Hiroshi...So yeah...Tebisu Hiro.." Hikari watched the bartender carefully as he set down a large bottle of sake in front of the two and then two small cups. "Thank-you." she said softly before looking back up at Aki.

"Eh, it still can't be healthy" Aki muttered, protectively. "And I see, and no, that does not make you a bad mother" Aki said, his voice clear and firm, as if she couldn't even think that. He let his face fall for a moment. "Hiroshi...aw, I was thinking Aki...aw, darn" He said, but he then smiled. "See, you found his name, Tebisu Hiro" He said, smiling wider. "Not a bad mother at all" He said. He took the bottle and poured to cup. He passed one to her and raised his glass to hers. He clinked the glasses as he said, "To Tebisu Hiro" and then he downed the cup. It burned his throat but he didn't choke. He had had enough glasses of sake in his life not to choke on it.

"Yes, to Tebisu Hiro..." Hikari smiled as she too downed her shot of sake. It stung the back of her throat as well, but this was her new bad habit so she was used to it. " Hiro reminds me so much of Hideaki-kun..." she said sadly as she hung her head alittle. Hikari felt the tear build up before she quickly pushed them away with her hand. Ichi whined as he looked to his mother but then yipped as his ham bone was placed down in front of him.
Hikari didn't want to cry. She felt as if she could break down right then and there. "Hideaki walked out of my life kinda like Hayato did." she said softly. "It isn't fair...I don't want to be a mother or the Lady of a village.." She took the large bottle and pour more sake into her glass, getting ready to take another shot.

Aki nodded his head to her words. he watched Ichi for a bit, but also watching and listening to Hikari as well. He kept nodding his head sadly. At the mention of Hayato, he went stiff. He remembered how she was after that ordeal. he put a hand on her back, his thumb rubbing her comfortingly, or trying to. "There are things we all don't want to do. I didn't want to raise Kiyoko but it ended up, she ended up, being the thing, person, I was most proud of" He said softly. He watched her pour another glass. He would defianetly be watchign how much she drank but after she was done with the bottle, he poured himself some more too. He downed it faster then the first, but he would be careful with his drinking around Hikari, making sure she didn't drink too much as well.

Hikari quickly drank the contents of her glass before filling it all the way to the top. "I guess you're right.." She said softly before taking a sip from her glass. Soon the bartender brought her, Hikari's bowl of spiced ramen...The ramen her and Hideaki used to eat together. She sniffled slightly at the sight of it. Carefully she set down her glass and pulled apart her chopsticks. She said no traditional words, she simpley began digging it. Ichi did the same.

He ruffled her hair slightly with the hand that had been on her back. "When am I wrong?" He asked, his boysih grin plastered to his face. A obvious joke, he was wrong all the time. He thought Hayato was a nice guy, wrong. He thought his sister wasn't interested in boys yet, wrong. He thought Tsumi was unbeatable, wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong Aki.
He petted her head softly as she sniffled, not knowing why except it had to be Hideaki related. He watched her eat, while he poured himself another shot, he didn't down it this time so quickly but instead, enjoyed the burning rush in his throat, that he knew would be gone after two-three more drinks.

In a matter of minutes Hikari and Ichi had finished eating. With a flick of Hikari's hand she had grabbed the entire bottle of sake and started to guzzle it down. When she finished she set the bottle down it was half way full. She hiccuped softly before looking up at Aki, giving him a goofy smile. "You know what would be kawaii?" She asked softly. "If you and I got together..." Hikari at this point was not sure if it was the sake talking or herself.
Ichi jumped from his seat ready to go. He barked once as he looked up at Hikari and Aki.

Aki had had a few more drinks as they ate. The buzz kicking in. He looked at Hikari as she guzzled a lot of sake. "Hikari..." He slurred, not finsihing his worry. She then spoke. He gave her an odd look. "Hikari...what...are..you..?" He said, the alcohol was seriously making him lose it. "I'm..not..sure" He slurred out. His face going from goofy grins to frowns to grins to frowns again. "Hikari...are...you..drunk?" He slurred out, like he wasn't.

"It...depends...are...my clothes..." She stopped suddenly with a small hiccup. "..Still on?..." Her face became a light pink as she reached into her coat pocket pulling out the correct amount of money and slamming it down on the counter. Soon her gaze went right back to Aki and she gave him her goofy smile again before hopping out of the chair, and wobbling to the door. She had also grabbed the bottle of sake to take along with her. "Come..-hiccup- along, Aki-kun..." she said as her vision started to blurr slightly.
