"Oi," Madara had found Cho eventually, he walked boredly around the village and when he came to the decision that she wasn't there he ventured out of the village. "Oi," nudging her with his foot he frowned. Cho rolled onto her back and opened her eyes, "What? I'm sleeping! Why do you have to keep kicking me?"
"Nudging," Madara corrected while crossing his arms and looking down at her. Cho rolled her eyes and then shut them again. "What are you doing out here?"
"Drawing, firstly, sleeping secondly."
"What a wonderful way to spend a day."
"Sarcasm we meet again," Cho sat up and picked up her book and pen, standing up slowly she shook her head which caused the small leaves and grass blades to flit back to the ground. "So! Out here why?" Cho questioned while turning and walking easily back towards the makeshift village.
Madara rolled his eyes and then shrugged, "You don't know? You're just out here for a nice afternoon stroll? You then see me, kick me to wake up and then follow me back home? Wow nice...you certainly know how to spend a day!" Cho turned and looked at him while walking backwards. "What brings you here? My amazing company? I'm flattered honestly I am but I have to go. Got a training session to get to." Cho winked and walked towards the village gates. Madara frowned and looked at her.
"Training? You training? Sorry I'm a little shocked by your words."
"Blah," Cho said and then all of a sudden sprinted towards the gates, Madara stopped walking and glared towards Tobirama. He looked at her happily and then frowned at him, the two had a mini glaring match before Cho tapped Tobirama on the head.
"Just typical," he said while the two of them walked into the village.
"Can I ask you something?" Tobirama asked while correcting Cho's stance, she was good at hand to hand combat and decided to better teach her in the ways of taijutsu. Cho nodded and looked down at her feet, "Your repression of feelings is failing so you've turned to jealousy."
"Yup."
"Cho-san! Don't use me to make him jealous! Although I do feel slightly flattered," Tobirama paused to think. Cho looked up at him, "Alright if it annoys him I'm game."
"You like to annoy him?"
"Yeah," Tobirama smiled, "As bad as it is to admit I really do."
"I do too!"
"I know, trust me I know you do." Tobirama sat down on a fallen log and nodded at her, Cho was practising fighting and looked at him. "We could make a seriously bad team."
"Team in a bad good way?"
"Confusing but yes."
"You know this team would backfire?" Cho walked over and sat next to him, reaching down she readjusted the straps on the braces. "I don't know how well you know him, but he's very sneaky and is always one step ahead."
"He does have the habit of that you're right." Tobirama paused and crossed his arms, Cho looked up at the sky and made a popping noise. He slid his red eyes to look at her sidewards, "Hungry?"
"Oh! Yes! Yes I am!"
"Wondered where you had disappeared to," Akiko set the cups down on the table, "You'd been gone for a few days!"
"Miss me?" Cho asked while picking up the cup, Akiko nodded and clapped her hands together. "Take that as a yes."
"It's been so quiet! I mean sure the village was quiet before you appeared, but it just turned into mundane boredom."
"You make it sound like my appearance is an intricate part in the village."
"That's a little bleak isn't it?" Tobirama asked while leaning back in the chair, "You have such low standards of yourself."
"Nah! Not really, I'm awesome and I love myself."
"Great you're a narcissist." Tobirama ran a hand down his face getting a whole new outlook on his friend. Cho giggled and drunk some of the tea, "I never knew that about you."
"No I didn't mean it like that! I meant it as...I love how I am, not in the sense of the only person I can love is myself." Cho explained while putting a hand to her chest and nodding, "I love many people!"
Tobirama looked up at Akiko who looked at her worriedly, the two of them looked at her worriedly before Akiko had to go back to work, and Tobirama picked up his cup. "You honestly frighten me at times."
"I'm scary?"
"Far from it," Tobirama laughed and put down the cup. "You're not scary, you're far from the definition of the word. You just happen to say something which throws me off."
Cho shrugged and looked around the tea room, it was rather busy in there today and Akiko was rushing around like a motion blur.
