The Painter's Obsession

Sai walked down the streets, mentally smacking himself for his rude thoughts. 'It simply isn't NORMAL! Or decent…but I have to.' He had been having this fight for so long…while following the women in question as well. 'She's so perfect…she's just right for the job.' He'd be labeled creepy and possibley slapped, but the question had to be asked…didn't it? 'You really can't just ask a beautiful women like her this question though…I'm sure much more famous and better looking men have tried and failed. Why would she let me?' The women took a sharp turn and Sai followed, desperate for an answer…but also scared to ask. 'What if no one speaks to me anymore…it is rather creepy. I could be accused of being perverted…though, I suppose this slightly is.'

Finally he decided to ask… "Excuse me, ma'am?" He touched her shoulder lightly and she spun around. Her long blond hair spilled over her shoulders and she smiled warmly at him. 'Perfection…just the women I've been looking for.'

"Ma'am…would you…let me…" She nodded as if urging him to continue, still smiling in that angelic way.

"Um…would…you permit me….to paint you?" Her smile got even brighter if that was possible and she nodded. "Of course, I would be honored. May I ask why though?"

"Well…I've kinda had this vision in my head…of a beautiful girl and you just fit it…I've been kinda obsessed lately with talking to you and asking…but I didn't want to be labeled creepy."

"Really, well you could have just asked! I'm glad you did." Her warm smile, and her giggly voice along with Ino, the girl, in general soon became another obsession of Sai…the painter.
