Bell walked through the Shopping District. She was going to the weapon shop to buy some material before the mission with Aoi. Walking into the store she scanned the aisles. She would need kunai and paper tags. Everything else she had stocked up already. Picking out a pack of kunai and one thing of paper bombs she headed for check out until she saw someone familiar enter the shop.

Kinaga walked into the weapon shop quietly. He meant to start keeping a lower profile, but he seriously needed some scrolls. As he walked in he saw someone that he knew and smiled. "Bell," he said, walking up to her. "It's nice to see you. How've you been?" Sure, he hadn't healed completely from the war yet, but he was in the fast lane to recovery.

Hinta looked up as he saw Bell walk in and start searching through the weapons. The he saw Kinaga come in. He had no idea who either of them where so he kept a close eye on them as he read his magazine. Flipping the page he continued to read.

Bell smiled as Kinaga called her name. It hadn't seen him since the war. "Hello Kinaga, it's good to see you as well," she said. "I've been fine, just a little busy," she said. Bell then tilted her head to the side. "What about you, how've you been?" She asked.

(Sorry, I kinda forgot about this ^.^;; )

Kinaga smiled and stopped in front of her. "That's nice to hear," he said as she told him she'd been fine. He shrugged at her question. "I've been worse off," he said with a smile. "I never got to thank you for saving me in the war. Twice," he added with a small laugh. "So thank you."

Bell smiled. "I'm going to take that as though you're doing good," she said with a small laugh. She then looked up at him as he said he'd never gotten to thank her. "Anything for a friend," she said. But she didn't remember saving him twice though.

Kinaga smiled, then took a quick glance around the shop. "So, what're you here for?" he asked. He heard she'd gotten a new squad, so maybe she was getting ready for a mission or training session.

Bell smiled. "I have a B-ranked misssion tomorrow, so I'm just making sure that I've got everything. I'd hate to get caught mission something," she said. Bell then looked at Kinaga. "Why are you here?" She asked. It was good to talk to people without conflict. Looking around the shop she wondered had she forgotten anything she'd be needing. She hoped Aoi had would pack well. She didn't want to have to fight for the both of them.

Kinaga looked at Bell with a smile. "That's right, I heard you were taking on a squad and a Sannin apprentice. How's the apprentice doing anyway?" he asked. He shrugged as she asked why he was here. "I'm leaving the vallies pretty soon and I needed to pick up a few scrolls before I left. Nothing big." He hoped that she wouldn't make a big deal out of it when he said that he was leaving the vallies. That was the last thing he wanted.

"Her name is Aoi and she is a wonderful student," Bell said. "I'm glad she's my student and I'm sure she'll do well after she's become a full Sannin." She then looked at the floor when Kinaga said that he'd be leaving. "Oh, I thought you..." She let her sentence trail off. That was none of her business. "Good luck, and be safe wherever you go," she said looking back up at him.

Hinta kept flipping. It looked like the two of them where in some kind of coversation. He didn't mind. As long as they weren't causing any problems. Looking back at his magazine he stopped on a page and then sat up. He pulled out some scissors from a drawer and began to cut out a coupon.
