A fatefull meeting? Akane is that you?!?

Kazuki had just returned from Tokyo clearing up things from his tea business. Just because he was a shinobi didn't mean he was a businessman and he had obligations to his company as well as to his village. Good thing the Kage knew of him and was happy to let him make the trip. He was walking through the market place starved trying to find something to eat when he came across a small ramen stand where he decided to have lunch. As he enjoyed his simple lunch he had a really strange feeling as the hair on the back of his neck stood up causing him to turn around. Then like a flash he saw her walk by.... she couldn't hear him utter as his mouth was muffled by the noodles but there was no mistaking the identity of the person he had just seen.....

"Akane?....."

Closing her wood door behind her as she straps her ,messenger type, shopping bag to her side. As she walks down the flights of stairs to the ground level, she ties her pure white hair back into a ponytail. She takes a walk toward the Marketplace to buy some new flowers for her apartment, and some fresh vegetables from one of the benders. She walks past a ramen stand taking in the aromas of the stand before heading toward one of the benders selling lilacs and orchids.

Kazuki being so taken back by what he had thought he had seen couldn't react at first.

"Hello sir are you okay?" The ramen shop owner asked as he touched Kazuki's shoulder.

With that Kazuki sprung back to life sprinting out of the shop as he was dashing towards where she was. Good thing he had payed before hand for his meal since he only ate a little and ran. As he ran many thoughts coursed through his mind, as he had just hoped that she recognized him even with the beard and the aged look he had.

"Thank you sir." She would say as the Bender hands her a bundle of Orchids and a bundle of Lilacs.

She would then slip in the bag she is carrying with the top of the flowers sticking out, and head toward the bender with some of the vegetables she was in search for. As she makes her way through the crowd of people doing their shopping as well.

Seeing the large crowd of people in the way he decided that the only way that he could keep up was to take to the roofs as he jumped onto the rooftops one by one to follow her. He kept far away and concealed his chakra following her. He thought to himself as he ran...


"How could that be Akane? Akane died when uncle Hiashi killed her... it can't possibly be her.

Akane would thank the benders she bought from as she takes the whole amount of veggies. She would smiles to her self and make her way to a dumpling stale to buy herself some lunch.

Seeing this as the perfect time he jumped down and landed in front of her.

She would stop in her tracks and squeak. She would look up at him and blink at him.
"Um sir..."

He looked over at her and pleaded with his eyes. His eyes hardened a bit seeing her as he didn't belive his eyes The woman he had always loved was standing right in front of him even though she had been presumed dead for years.


"Akane it's me Kazuki..."

She would stare at him in disbelief. "You sir, are a lier. And I have no busness with lier's."

She would push past him and walk into the dumpling shop and sit at a table.

Kazuki's eyes hardened a bit as he walked inside and sat across from her. This was the biggest difference he had from his youth. Gone were the days of his kind radiant smile and bright disposition that seemed to make anyone trust him as it was replaced by a stone cold glare from many years of suffering and torture.

"You have business with someone who spent years grieving over you... Fine if you do not wish to speak with me I will not force you however you should know... your son just woke from his Coma" Kazuki stated standing up as he walked towards the door.

She sighs. "My son died the day I did, or thats what I saw."

"But if you are the Kazuki I know," She looks over at him. "Sit down and join me for lunch." She gestures toward the chair a crossed from her.

He looked back over to her with his hardened glaze. As he walked over and opened a storage scroll he then unsealed it as a medical file appeared as he layed it on the table. It was titled...



Kenza Shikimori

Akane would look at the scroll and pick it up and begin to read.
"How is this possible? I watched him die."
She looks down and tries to hide the tears.

"ou-.... I mean your son is a lot stronger then we thought. However Hiashi's attack was still to strong for him to just walk away from... it put him in a coma similar to death." Kazuki stated as he started to walk away.

Akane sigh, and looks up at him.

"Kazu...he's our son, not just mine. But after 2 years, I didn't think Kenza would be alive."

She stands grabs her bag and walk out leaving the scroll on the table.

Kazuki would quickly grab ahold of her arm forcing her to look at him.

"He is a fighter like his mother. Also it has been more then 2 years.."

She'd look at him and sigh before looking down at the ground.

"I'm not a fighter."

"And neither am I... nothing more then a spineless coward who ran from all of his problems." He stated coldly.

She growls and looks at him.

" Your not spineless and never have been. Your a courageous bastard who doesn't know how to deal with pain. But coward you are not."

He looked at her shocked. He had been isolated for so long he never heard anyone raise their voice towards him and truthfully he did not know how to react.

"it dosn't change the fact that you and kenza got hurt because I couldn't beat my uncle..." He stated looking down

She sighs. "Yet I'm hear and so is Kenza. Whats it matter now?"

She smiles at him and wraps her arms around his waist.

His eyes widen in suprise at the embrace.

"You would forgive me even after all of this?...." He asked in complete and utter disbelief.

"Yes, why wouldn't I?" She blinks and stares at him.

"Its not like you went off and married again." She just smiles innocently.

He looks down

"Ummm.... about that..."
