Meeting Between Friends

"Well, now that i'm in Akatsuki, if i give that sorta 'gift' theres a chance the ninja there will be able to trace it back to HQ,"

Emi frowned. "Good point." She pricked up one ear as she heard something faint in the distance.

Smiling lightly, she motioned for Kurai to follow her quietly, and started tiptoeing into the forest.

She nodded, understanding her body language as she followed.
"Dont worry about the sword...Might be big but it weighs the same as any katana,"
She whispered.

Emi quietly put her finger to her mouth, then moved a bush branch as quietly as she could. A pack of wolves, an Alpha male and female along with three little ones, were in a sunlit glade. Three other wolves were also there, one playing with the young, only weeks-old ones.

She kneeled down and watched them. She didnt get any closer, but smiled at how supportive they all were of one another.

Emi watched silently, smiling lightly.

"If only all families could be like that, huh..?"

"Yeah... The world would be better."

"Yeah..."
She put a comforting arm around her friends shoulder.
"But we're family now, right? Sisters,"

"That we are." *Huggle.*

She smiled and hugged her back.
"We have our own pack,"

Emi smiled. "We so do. Though, it's a bit of a problem at the moment... I can't hide in the forest anymore if that man and his cronies are searching."

"I'll take you back to HQ,"
She suggested.
"You can stay in my room as long as Lord Leader doesnt find out,"

"I can't do that. It would risk your place in Akatsuki, and there's no way I'd be able to live with myself if you got seperated with you-know-who..."

"Just come back with me for now, i'll talk to Pein and see if i can get you a residence there, even if its only temporary. I cant let you stay here,"

"I'm touched," Emi giggled. "Though, go back to wherever the HQ is for now, and THEN ask your leader. I'll be waiting right where you first found me."

She nodded.
"Right, i'll vouch for you as much as i can. If not, i'll stay out here with you and get the updates from my partner,"

"You know I can handle myself." Emi raised one eyebrow, smirking. "But thanks."

"I know, but a wolf never leaves its pack,"
She grinned back.

"Touche." Emi grinned.

She chuckled.
"c'mon...The Akastuki is actually kinda fun, its like a big, dysfunctional family,"

"I can guess... I've heard a lot about them. Isn't there someone who loves blowing things up and calls it art?" She grinned.

She chuckled.
"Deidara...He and i dont really get along as such. I accused him of making out with his own hands,"

Emi burst out laughing. "What the hell?!"

She grinned.
"See, he works with exploding clay which he manilpulates with his hands. These hands have mouths on them. So..yeah,"
