Shinobi temple on some random day

Mei was feeling better and she was healing quite fast. She was sitting on the floor leaning against the wall for support. Jin was playing catch with Thorn, throwing a ball of ice back and fourth. Touya was sitting at his table, wondering when Mei's friends would show up. He was just waiting for them to burst through the door cheerfully. He sighed and lifted the clear cup full of cold water up to his lips and sipped it slowly. He was enjoying the rare peacefulness of the temple. Until they ran in.

Kashin, Shousei, Sapphire, and a dog demon ran in energetically.

"Welcome to my room," Touya said sarcastically.

"Hi!" The dog demon said, walking over to Touya. He looked up at her, she was tall… And Touya sitting down didn't make her any shorter. She had long silver-ish hair. Her bright emerald green eyes smiled down at him. She leaned down and hugged him. His eyes widened and he blushed slightly.

"What are you blushing about?" Mei glared at him jealously. Touya looked at Mei and gave her a "what the heck are you talking about?" look. Then she started laughing. So did everybody else, except Jin, who also felt out of the loop.

She let go of him ", sorry, I hug everybody! I'm Tashi by the way."

Touya stopped blushing instantly after he heard her say that. Tashi re-did the black choker with the green gem in it. She smiled and sat down next to Mei. All her friends sat around her.

"It's so cool, everything revolves around you!" Kashin grinned.

"Y'know… It's true," Sapphire loosened the chain necklace she wore, and pulled her over-sized blue shirt, then (for whatever reason) she looked down at the fishnet sleeve on her left arm.

Tashi brushed the slight frost off her black leather pants, and then off her sleeveless black leather shirt. Smiling, Tashi put on gold bands around her wrists as bracelets.

"I'm blind!" Mei yelled playfully after looking at her wrists and seeing the light bounce off of it, then she turned away to keep from seeing the light bounce off the gold.

"Sorry!" She apologized, then she hugged Mei as an apology.

"It's ok," She thought about hugging back, but decided against it.

They all sat around and played games and talked. Touya sat at his table, wondering how they could be carefree. They were all so… happy. They were all careless even though they were in a temple with a bunch of psychos. Then he thought for a second, maybe that didn't matter. He was always carrying the weight of the world! He was always worrying about things, he longed for the carefree life Jin seemed to have. But that may not be true; maybe Jin seemed so happy so that he could cover up his immense feelings of pain and sorrow.

He was putting too much thought into everything. He stood up and walked over to Jin and Thorn ", mind if I join you?" He asked.

"Not at all!" Thorn threw the ball to Touya, Touya threw it to Jin, and Jin threw it to Thorn. He was oddly being entertained by the simplicity of this game. He smiled and continued playing.

"So… Tashi, where have you been lately?" Mei asked, wondering why her slightly "goth" looking friend wasn't there earlier.

"I went back to a different part of Makai to visit my family! Pretty stupid, right?" She smiled. She always cared about her friends and family, Risho said that was her weakness, but they believed that they were all like that. They all cared about the people that managed to gain their trust.

"No," Mei answered casually.

"Not at all, Tashi," Kashin smiled at her.

"Nope," was Sapphire's simple answer.

"Yeah! It is stupid."

Everybody turned to Shousei.

"How can you say that?" Kashin shouted.

"It's her own opinion," Mei leaned back against the wall. She knew how she was… Shousei hated her family, so she left before she knew much about them… She didn't remember them very well, but she knew where they live-or lived-she could go back anytime she wanted, but she didn't want to.

"I'm bored…" Mei sighed.

"Yup," everybody agreed in unison.

"We should do something…" She told them, thinking that they should've gotten what she was trying to say earlier.

"Yup," everybody agreed again.

"Well then think of something!" She yelled more playfully than angry.

Then they all started thinking.

"I got nothin'," Mei sighed.

"Why don't we sit here and think?" Thorn said, suddenly joining the conversation. go get drunk!" Sapphire got up and

"That's borin'!" Jin yelled, letting the ice ball melt in his hands.

"We should go get drunk!" Sapphire got up to go get everybody some booze.

"No alcoholics in my room," Touya sat down at his table again and sipped his cold water.

"Booooooring!" Sapphire sat down again, her fun ruined.

"Gozaru!" Thorn yelled. Mei turned to her.

"You're mean!" Mei yelled and turned away.

"Yes! My battle cry still has effect!"

"Meanie."

"We should train," Touya said from the corner, sipping his water again.

"We should!"

They all stood up, chose their opponents and fought. Touya knew the training would come in handy! He just had this feeling that from now on they should be on edge. He just had this feeling that they would be in trouble and need good skills to ward off their enemies. So they trained. They got stronger, to ward off the possibly imaginary enemies they would soon fight, but then he wondered. Was it just a hunch, or was he foreseeing terrible danger?

Whether it was pointless or not, it would still come in handy. So they kept going.

Mei: Whee! That was fun! I enjoyed typing that, did you enjoy reading? Please say you did… If you don't oh well, flame. If you did like it, review, as in good reviews…
