R&R longer note at the end

The dark brown haired shinobi stared at the waterfall in front of her short swords raised as she concentrated, all part of her new personal training programme her eyes spotted the target as she charged without any hesitation hitting the target she had hidden behind the water.

Hitting the target she jumped back smiling checking herself, for the first time since she had started her new training she had finally managed to achieve her goal increasing her speed so that she would be more efficient in battle. Lowering her swords, she slowed her breathing deciding now would be the perfect time for a well-deserved break however the sound a twig snapping put her back on edge raising her sword again turning in the direction of the sound.

A figure appeared from the bushes as they stopped looking at the shinobi in front of her, Asuka sighed lowering her weapons recognizing the green haired girl looking at her through what appeared to be a sleepy expression.

"Oh, Asuka" Hikage said covering her mouth as she yawned with her hand her amber snake like eyes "I wondered what the noise was, I wasn't expecting to see you here though so close to my napping area".

The dark brown haired shinobi sighed in relief returning her swords to their sheath as her regular uniform returned, the green haired girl began to approach as she stopped just at the edge of the water as the other approached smiling.

"Sorry, I didn't know anyone was around here" Asuka said stopping in front of the other "It was so quiet and empty that it felt like the perfect training place". Hikage nodded looking at the broken targets seeing one still intact quickly removing three of her knives throwing them as the target splintered the brunette looked with a small smile.

"Oh I missed one?" Asuka muttered as she looked back to the other with a small smile as she rubbed the back of her head nervously "I thought I'd got them all, good eyes as always". Hikage nodded her expressionless demeanour always through the other off however it had also given her a new goal in life, one that she was not fully convinced she would ever manage to pull off.

"Thank you" Hikage responded her tone remained as emotionless as her expression, slowly her eyes began to roll over the other taking notice of her heavy breathing due to the intense training she had heard "You should take a nap". Asuka blinked as she listened to the others words not expecting something as caring as that coming from her of all the people she knew, a small smile played at the dark brown haired girl's lips as she thought perhaps her goal would work out after all.

"Thank you for the concern but I'll be ok" Asuka responded smiling once more "This is nothing kn…" The rest of the girls sentence was cut off feeling a strong but warm feeling close on her hand as she looked down a pinkish glow appearing at her cheeks noticing the other holding it gently, quietly the other pulled her along towards a small patch of grass under the shade of a tree.

Asuka stayed still unsure how she had ended up in such a confusing yet interesting position, the soft feeling she was currently feeling under her head was not that of the grass despite the relaxing feeling she had expected it was more of a tense feeling that ran through her veins.

"A-are you sure this is ok?" Asuka asked looking up from her laid down position resting her head in Hikage's surprisingly comfortable lap "I mean I'm thankful but this is a little, well unexpected". Hikage said nothing as she absentmindedly began to stroke the others hair causing her to stiffen up a little more before slowly relaxing, despite everything she couldn't lie to herself that this moment was very pleasant.

"You need to rest" Hikage responded as she looked down "Haruka used to do this for me and it was a good way to rest so this will work for others I'm confident, so rest". Asuka shifted a little sighing accepting her current fate not exactly against it wondering if this would help her to fuel her goal, she turned to look up at the other who remained still slowly the dark brown haired shinobi began to lean up as the other tried to stop her she looked down,

"Thank you for this" Asuka responded as she smiled closing the distance as she caught the other off guard pressing her lips to the others seeing the look of surprise in the others face, after a few seconds of bliss passed between the two as Asuka laid back down closing her eyes "Well, surprise is an emotion. Seems you do have them it just takes the right person to draw it out".

Turns out my hint from last time was a little too easy to work out the patter but it's fine yes it is a case of it's all been done in alphabetical order so we are almost done with H there is just one more after this. Then we move onto I and so on and so forth, anyway for this one it was our lovely emotionless snake featured queen Hikage

She deserves the love as much as anyone does and of course her solution to everything is to nap, a feeling we can all relate to I'm sure, anyway next up is the final H member and will of course be our lovely leader Homura

After her is Ikaruga and then...well that's a secret
