"So you really think he's around here?" asked Kagome as she looked around the street.

"Yeah, Kankuro said he found this shop that was selling the parts he needed to 'enhance' his puppets," answered Temari as she read the various signs around the area, searching for a familiar sounding shop name.

"Here's a weapons store, let's go in," suggested Kagome as she led a weary Temari forward.

A bell chimed as they walked through the door, and a voice from another room greeted them.

"Feel free to look around! I'll be with you in a second!" shouted a young girl's voice.

"We will, thank-you!" called back Kagome happily. Temari had forgotten how fascinated Kagome was with weaponry stores. Kagome was always so curious about the various instruments locked away in the glass cases, and as Kagome tugged Temari towards a wall of weaponry, Temari could hardly fight the indulgent smile that tugged on her lips. It'd been a long time since Temari had smiled.

Kagome pulled Temari around the shop asking questions about various weapons, but the questions stopped when they reached a wall. Temari had to wonder what was so special about the bow and arrows that hung there.
