Rumiko looked at Tenkuu. He hand't seen her in a while and had went to visit her when she asked to go strawberry hunting. She was 13 and he wondered if she was just a little too old to be hunting for strawberries and it was dnagerous now that the Akatsuki were out.

"So, you really wanna go strawberry hunting kid?" He asked with a grin on his face. He din't mind going, but still, she was 13 and a Kage and probably had better things to do than this. Then again, it was Tenkuu...

Tenkuu bounced up and down. "Yep! I have to get out some times." She sensed taht Rumiko was worried about the whole Akatsuki thing, but she needed some fresh air. "Please!!!" She asked. Her mother wouldn't let her go, but she knew if she asked nicely enough that maybe she could with Rumiko. He was more relaxed than Jutsumaster. "Oh come on Uncle Rumi, can't you just break the rules once in your life."

Rumiko smiled. "I've broken the rules, plenty of times and it's gotten me into a world of trouble. If I get caught taking you out while the Akatsuki are out and something happens to you, my sister will have my head. " He sighed. "But fine, well go."

Lulu runs up to them. "Lemme come!" She looks at Tenkuu. "Scince we live together now, I thought we should get to know each other better, and stop our conflict." She sighs. "And just in case I get tempted, I left my weapons in my room."

Tenkuu looked at Lulu then Rumiko for an answer. She was too heated to say anything. She hadn't liked Lulu after she joined the akatsuki and didn't like her very much at all every since she moved in.

Rumiko sighed. Why'd he have to get stuck in the middle of this war. Sure Tenkuu was his neice and he didn't know what Lulu was to him but still they were living with JM so they were family. "Alright, she can come. But first some ground rules. No one wonders off alone because if you two get hurt I'll get double the pain because of your parents. Also no fighting or I'll send you both home." He looked up at the sky. "What else...hmmm, nothing else I guess. Kiss and make up so we can roll."

T'lula could sense the irritation Tenkuu was emminating. "Ok Rumi. and Tenkuu? I dont understand why your so terrible feeling about me. I joined so I could learn the hideout's layout, and no more!"

Tenkuu turned her nose up. "Whatever!!!" She stalked off up the hill towards the starwberry patch.

This offended Lulu beyond reason. I know what death she's getting. Slow and painful...

Rumiko looked at Tenkuu then said. "Tenkuu, get back over her and apologize or I'll never take you strawberry hunting again. As long as the two of you are living together then you'll be nice and if not I'll tie you up and leave you in the same room for hours. I swear it on my shinobi way." And Rumiko was serious about his Shinobi way.

Tenkuu looked at Rumiko. "Aww." She walked back down towards Lulu. "I'm sorry for being so misunderstaning T'lula." She said half heartdly. She didn't like Lulu, but Rumiko was sure to keep them in check.

"Yeah, OK. You don't have to apologize." She looks at Rumi. "And I swear you wil have bruises all over if you ties us up in the same room."

Rumiko smiled. "Alright you two, let's go." He satrted up the hill a little ways infront of the two. He was curous what they would do if he got too far.

Lulu continues walking. "So how's the life of a kage?"

Tenkuu sighed. "Good." She said watching Rumiko. She could sense his curosity. Everyone seems to forget that for some unknown reason I can sense emotion. Hello am I inisible. i bet I wouldn't be if I started upo the Lightning Village and rained an attack on all the villages.

"Then I would have to kill you. We had a good reason to destroy that village."

Tenkuu looked at Lulu. "Yeah, don't forget I was apart of that village and because it was destoyed I know nothing abaout my history, family, or village besides the fact that all the villages got together and eliminated the Lightning."

Lulu tosses a book the size of a pocket Bible to her. "Then read this. It's quite interesting. Roxl recorded all of the villages data in the time he was kage."

"Yeah, but it probably wont have anything on my family or me." She started to flip through it. "My sensei said that they were strong because they only let the strong survive. He said that since I'm so small they thought I'd be weak so my parents hide me so thay couldn't kill me."

She took a braeth. "Then Jutsumaster adopted me a little while after Sukai. My village was wrong. I'm a spcialist at both not only Water but Lightning too. A deadly combo for such a small ninja," she said as a tear slid down her cheek. She felt neglected and it hurt even more when she thought back to how her sensei had that flash of hate or anger on his face when she'd told him what Sky said.

"Oh yeah, turn to page 409."

Tenkuu turned to the page and started reading. She was still upset.

"He continues to record info, even after the village is gone."

"What to record," she asked bitterly. "I'm the last of the Village and there's nothing important about me."

"And you would be wrong there. 53 people other than you have survived, and you are special becouase your the first kid besides Roxl to become kage!"

Tenkuu looked at Lulu. "Graet to know I'm not the only one but Ruka was also Kage as a kid too. So that's still nothing spceial. And I only become Kage because I focused my life on one dream and trained my butt off with Lucky almost everyday, because him and Orochi never gave up on me."
