"Momiro Tenn Ku Ten"

"You thought i couldn't find you, huh?" the girl said, smirking. As you've already guessed, it was Serena that stood before him looking absolutly...Orimaru hated to say this since she was just a friend but...hot. Orimaru meerly gave a weak smile and scratched the back of his head, "You've seen the crowd today...it's almost impossible to find your hand!" Serena laughed at his little joke only to be pushed into him by two little kids passing by. Orimaru caught her ,of course, but they were a little to close for comfort. In fact, with Serena pressed against him and with his arms around her waist, there was already a person saying "Get a room!!". Serena blushed and shouted back at the guy to go to a gay bar. Faintly Orimaru blushed too, not just by the guy, but...lets just say he's not so easy with girls "on" him. Boobs on his chest isn't that confortable and...pleasuring. Not saying that he can't be a pervert sometimes x3. Anyway, after the guy finally walked away (destroyed by Serena's comments and comebacks) Serena got off him, gently bowed and in her best Vindetta voice said, "Would you care to join me on this fine day?" Orimaru smiled and shook his head yes.

They were having a small conversation about random things, weather, something that happend last night, media, those kind of things... but Orimaru just listened to Serena. His mind was focused on her of course, but in a different way. He, for some reason, started to remember the memories he had with her...but they were the best memories possibly anyone could ask for. She always kept his mind off Desertrose, Sazuke, and Orihana and he always felt at home with her. Especially with his revenge for Kadachi, she was always like a sanctuary when he was about give up. It's like she was his home away from home. She was everyone of them. "My sanctuary..." he said softly, barely audible to even himself, "...and my home."

"Orimaru-kun! Look! They opened a sushi bar!" Serena said to Orimaru. She started to act like a little kid at disneyworld when she said, "I haven't had sushi in forever!!" and started pulling him on the wrist over there.

"2, 6 piece combos, please!" Serena gladly asked for at the counter. "The stools are oftly close together...must be to seat more people i guess," Orimaru thought to himself. The stools were actually so close that Serena and Orimaru's legs had to overlap each other. The man that was working at the sushi bar noticed Orimaru blushing a little bit and smiled. He whispered something to his female assistant and she looked at Orimaru too, smiling. They both worked on the orders of course, but their's was a smige different. The tuna and salmon were in the shape of hearts and the tako, squid, and fish spelled out "Love". Orimaru's face basiclly burned off of imbaressment and he looked over at the workers, who were in fact, smirking wildly. Orimaru looked over at Serena, only seeing her scarfing down the tako. He managed to at least smile at that. He was also noticing something familiar about her, or at least the way she was acting. Knowing her, she would usually be saying something about this, probbablly complaining that her and Orimaru aren't a couple, but she was acting a little more childish than usual. Finally noticing Orimaru studing her, she turned her head and smiled, a little rice and tako here and there around her mouth. There it was...a flash of DesertRose appeared in his head and Serena looked exactly like her! He wasn't in control of his body for a second, when he actually rubbed her forehead down to her chin. The female worker was in a bliss seeing what Orimaru did, clasping her hands together and sighing romanticlly. Serena's expression changed dramaticlly, it wasn't bad though; Just extremly shocked. For the first time, Orimaru heard Serena say absolutely nothing; be speechless.

Orimaru smiled at her, his hand still at her cheek, obivously still in a bliss of thinking Serena was DesertRose. "Um...Ori-kun??" She said, moving her hand in front of his face side to side. Orimaru finally came back to life and quickly put his hand away, blushing alittle bit and said uneasily, "G-gomeneisai S-serena-chan!!" She quickly noticed how imbaressed he was and said sympetheticlly ,"Its okay Orimaru! I-i didn't mind, it was just a little too close for comfort." They had a very small imbaressment quarrel (nothing bad like a fight) but soon, Orimaru just smiled a little weakly and they got over it. They finished a few minutes later, paid, and were just about to leave the little bar when the male worker (the mastermind xD) grabbed Orimaru's arm. He fingered him over, obviously tring to whisper something to him. He must have said something very sexual about Serena because not only did Orimaru go pale with disturbance but the worker looked at Serena very suducivly. Serena had heard what he said because again not only did her face turn red, she actually pushed Orimaru out of the way and punched the male worker, actually making him fly to a wall and make a hole. "Let's go Orimaru-san," she said proudly and gently put her hand on his arm, turning around. Orimaru couldn't help but laugh at the whole situation.

They began walking again, this time not talking but just enjoying each other's presence. Orimaru felt a sudden poke on his arm maybe 2 minutes after the "sushi situation". He looked at Serena, trying to see if she did it, but she looked calm as ever. He just continued to look high and forward...when he felt it again. He looked again at Serena, seeing her still calm. He looked to his other side, he thought maybe someone was playing a trick on him or something...only feeling then a smack on the back of his head. That time he knew it had to be Serena and looked her way. She was smiling and laughing a little bit, her hand behide her back. He smirked and poked her on the shoulder; the same place she poked him. He copied what Serena did entirely; acting like it wasn't him. She giggled and poked him again, this time laughing too much and not aiming right. Orimaru began to laugh with her and, instead of poking her, he tickled her sides. Serena curled her stomach and almost got to the point of a screaming laughter. Orimaru was a good tickler xDDD. Serena started to run playfully ahead, having the best time. Orimaru started after her also, probbably smiling the most he had in a while. She turned her head too look back at him, when Orimaru had another flash back of Desartrose on Serena. Childish additude...kawaii expressions x3...and most important...a connection and love to hang out with him... Still running after her, he said quietly to himself ,"My sanctuary..."

"...and my home."
