Aneki and Otouto (P, NK)

"Sure you can! Just make sure it's ok with your parents or guardian. Mine don't care cuz, well, they died when I was seven. But you should still ask yours. Also, Funka can be a little... harsh. A lot of internal conflict," she said, making sure he knew that other villages might not be as nice as Suna. "Lets go sit on the bench. I can tell you a little about Funka, if you'd like," she said, moving towards the bench she had been sitting on before. She licked the ice-cream again, catching a drip before it slid down the cone and onto her hand.

Kojin thought about what she said. 'Funka? Does she mean Funkagakure?' he wondered. He walked over to the bench she sat on, but decided to sit on the ground in front of her. "Ask my guardian? But I don't think Kuname really cares what I do! Still, I'll ask him just because you told me to do it" he replied, "So, what is Funkagakure like? Do you have any friends that live there?". He then saw that his ice cream was melting even more than before and quickly went to lick it. Sadly, he got his hands sticky in the process. 'Sometimes I hate the sun!' he thought.

Raijin was in the immediate area taking his usual walks. Every single day he put some time into looking around Sunagakure and exploring a bit. The small boy aimlessly walked on the sandy path, his small figure carrying a large bag. He loved packing some snacks, drinks, and a small drawing pad with him. Whenever he found a good spot he'd settle in and begin drawing the landscape around him. It was something he enjoyed doing. Well as he walked he caught sight of a familiar face near the bench. 'Hey! It's Kojin!' He jogged over to them, holding the strap to his bag. "Kojin! Hey!" There was also a girl with him. Maybe a new friend could be made?

"Well, Funka is kinda hot, bt it has a lot of green and flowers. It has mountains and a volcano, and is really pretty outside the village. Inside the village is a little gloomy, what with the conflicts and death, so I usually stayed on the village outskirts around the volcano. As for friends, well... There is this one boy I met..." she started, but she was cut off as another boy came running over. "Hey there, I'm Kirameki," she smiled, licking her ice-cream cone again.

Kojin was really fascinated by her explanation of Funkagakure, even if it was a brief description. He tried to imagine the green, flowers and volcano she mentioned. 'I wonder if might ever see a real volcano one day' he thought. He then heard Kira talk about conflicts and a boy she met. "What do you mean death and conflicts? Does the village have bad defenses so it's easy for bad people to enter it?" he asked. Right now he wanted to know more about the conflicts, he could ask about the boy later.

Taking another lick of his ice cream, Kojin turned his head to see Raijin going over to them. "Oh, hi Raijin!" he exclaimed with a wave.

The girl introduced herself as Kirameki. 'Woooow! The first girl I've actually met.' The boy smiled widely and bowed down to her. She looked older than him so showing respect was necessary; at least to Raijin. "Pleased too meet you Kirameki. My name is Raijin." Both of them seemed to be talking about a village's defense. Now Raijin was curious. "What's up guys? Whatcha two talking about?" The boy unsurprisingly was being a bit nosey.

"That's a nice name. We were talking about Funka, as me and Kojin are going to tour the villages soon. About the conflicts, no. Their defenses are fine, I suppose. The conflicts are internal, meaning within the villages own citizens and ninja. Their ninja are fighting each other, I think. I hope he will be okay..." Kirameki said, meaning Sett when she said 'he'. "I'm not sure why they fight each other, only that they are."

Kojin rose an eyebrow. So there were internal conflicts in the village? He felt bad for the innocent citizens living in Funkagakure then. He nodded his head in agreement with what Kira said. "Yep! We're going to explore all the main villages! If it's okay with Kira, I bet you can come with us!" he exclaimed. 'Hey, wait a sec' he thought. "Wait wait wait! What do you mean by he? Was that boy you were talking about?" he asked. The boy had just remembered about her friend in Funka she was going to talk about. He had just gotten too focused in the information about the village to focus on the topic.

The childish behavior began surfacing. Her comment had made the small butterflies flap their wings in his bowels. "O-Oh, why thank you! Haha." He blushed but then realized what was being discussed before his arrival. The village was at conflict with. "It's a shame that there's a civil war. A village should be working in unity. An enemy could easily take this opportunity to attack them."  Kojin then mentioned Raijin joining them for a tour. That sounded great! "That sounds so fun! Can I come please!?"

"Sure you can, Rajin. By the way, it's not necessarily a 'civil war' as it is just inner conflicts," she said. Kirameki then heard Koin's question. "Oh, uhm, his name it Sett... hehe..."she said, smiling slightly. Kirameki thought of the flower she had picked in Funka. It was such a pretty red, just like his eyes. right now it was in a picture frame inside her tent.
