(Akatsuki are welcome to come.)

Sukai woke up early today. It was his eighteenth birthday which emant not only a party, but also his first encounter with Haru. Sukai smiled brightly as he got up and showed then got dressed. He couldn't wait to head down the hall and see what was going to happen. He walked down and looked at the house. "Tenkuu? Lulu?" He called. He wondered if they were home. Sukai sighed. "NMust be out," he said as he left for the Open.

(Sukai's leaving and when he omes back the party will start.)

Tenkuu smield happily as Sukai left. She gave a small giggle and then looked down the stair way. She had no idea if Lulu was home, but who cared, she had a party to plan. Even if she had no one but herself to do it. Tenkuu picked up a banister and carried it around the front and set it up. She then went inside and started on a cake when someone knocked on the door. "It's open." she called.

Jaymaru walked through the door and left it open so that it'd be easier for people to come into the door. "Hey Tenkuu," she said smiling. "May I help out,. I brought Sukai some gifts, and I thought it'd be nice to give him a little suprise of me showing up since I have't seen you two much," she said.

Kai walked into the house and looked at Tenkuu and Jaymaru. "Hello," she said quietly as she walked up to the two of them. She wondereded what they were doing. "What's that banner say outside," she asked curiously.

(Jay you're cold, you kill off both my kids...)

Takashi held a box under his arm as he walked into the house and looked at the people who were there. Kai, Tenkuu, and Jaymaru. How nice. The family was coming together again all to celebrate Sukai's eighteenth birthday. Sukai may not have been his son, but the kid was the brother of both his blood children, so he would treat him all the same. Takashi walked up to Jaymaru and stayed silent for a moment. "I see you're back," he said in a mild ton. He then looked to Tenkuu. "I brought him a present," he said then looked down at Kai and picked her up. "Hey Kai," he said. At first he didn't like the kid because she was mixed breed, but now he was okay, he couldn't blame her for her parents mistake. "How've you been."

Kokujo walked in quietly and patted Tenkuu's head "Hey Tenkuu" He smiled at Jutsu and waved with the hand that wasn't carrying his present. "Morning everyone." Kokujo's voice rang happily. He couldn't believe Sukai was actually turning 18 now. He was an adult now.

Jaymaru looked at Kai. "Hey Sweety," she said as she looked at her granddaughter. She hoped that she was fairing well iwthout her mother around. She then saw Takashi. They stood in silence until he spoke. "It's good to see you as well," she said just as mild as he had said it and then watched as he picked up Kai. She then directed her attention to Kokujo. "Hey there."

Tenkuu looked at her mom and gave her a hug. "It's great to see you again mom," she said. She then looked at Kai. "Hey girlie," she said as she tapped her on the nose. "Today's Sukai's birthday," she said. She then looked at Takashi. "Hi," she said and then turned to Kokujo. "Morning," she said taking the box from Takashi and then getting the one from Kokujo.

Takashi looked at Jaymaru then sighed. "Listen," he said. "I don't wanna get off on a bad start," he said. "Can we talk?" He asked. Takashi gave her an apologetic look for being rude earlier. He wasn't trying to be mean earlier, it sort of...slipped.

Shen walked in and looked around. There were alot of people here he didn't know, but he did know one person in all the calamity; his kage. He walked up to her with a small smile. "Hello Lady Tenkuu." (He's alway so formal around her, lol) "What're you doing here?" (still doesn't know they're siblings)

Jaymaru looked at Takashi. "Sure," she said. "I didn't mean to be rude either, I guess I just took it the wrong way." She gave a small shrug and then walked to the couch so they could talk away from the crowd.

Tenkuu looked up as she saw Shen walk in. "Hey there," she said as she held onto some ballons. "How are you." She then smiled as he asked her what she was doing here. "Well, today's Sukai's birthday so I'm thrwoing him a suprise party," she said with a grin.

Kai walked around mindlessly. There were no kids her age, she'd hoped that Tata would show but she couldn't call. Maybe she could use her necklace, but she didn't know it's full extent either, and besides....it was cursed. Kai blinked. If its cursed why do I keep it? She wondered. Then again, if I'm cursed I can't be anymore cursed for wearing it... Kai shook her head. The world was so complicated at times.

Rumiko walked in with two boxes. He had to be the special uncle who brought more than one present. He was just that cool. Anyway he walked in a grinned at everyone. "Hello all," he said as he laid the presents on the table. "I'm guessing the main attraction has left," he said with a sly smile as he sat in the kitchen on one of the five stools that lined against the counter. "Eighteen," he said. "I must me getting old, as well as you Jaymaru," he said with a bigger grin.

Shen smiled lightly. "Yeah, I heard it was his birthday. When's he supposed to be here anyways?" The only reason that Shen knew Sukai in the first place was because of the mission that Tenkuu'd sent him on with him. Thing's had gone okay. Only his side was still healing from it.

Tenkuu smiled. "Hmm, right about now," she said as she turned out the lights and hide. "Quiet everyone, here he comes," she said.

Sukai walked down the road and turned into the gate which lead up the driveway to his yard. He walked in. "Hello? He called. "Hello? Anyone here?" No answer. Then he took a step forward and all at once came. "SUPRISE!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" Sukai nearly jumped from his skin. "Hey everyone, this really is a suprise, thank you."

Kokujo walked over and patted Sukai's head, "Happy birthday Sukai, you're officially an adult. Still no drinking though, another three years for that." Kokujo smiled lightly at his old student. "I hope it's a great one, you definitely deserve it."

(grr, bad post D= sowwy)

Sukai smiled. "Hey Kokujo," he said with a smile. "I wouldn't dream of drinking sensei," he said with a small laugh. He then looked around. No Lulu anywhere.... Sighing he walked over to Shen. "Hey Shen, it sure has been a good while since I've seen you."

Shen looked at Sukai and grinned. "Yeah, right? Happy birthday Sukai. So, how've you been since the mission, anyways?"

Lulu walked up to the door and opened it. She looked around to see the many people gathered around in the living room. She walked up to Sukai and hugged him. She let go and handed him a small box with a bow on top. "Happy Birthday, Sukai."

Shen blinked as he saw Lulu walk up to Sukai. He had no clue that the two were together. Giving a smile, Shen said "Hey Lulu, haven't seen you in a while."

Lulu looked at Shen. She didn't know he would be here. "Oh, Hi Shen. I've been preparing for Christmas, and more or less decorating this entire village. It sucked, but I must say it looks good. How are you Shen?"

Shen smiled and gave a small shrug. "Yeah, I seen the decorations, they look great. And I've been fine." Shen gave a small laugh and a smirk. "By the way, you never told me that you and Sukai were together," he teased.

"Actually, if you paid attention, youd realize that I have told you before. Thats what you get for not paying attention." She laughed a little.
