The suggestion (Closed; Private)

Amane brushed her teeth furiously, clamping her hand over her mouth when she made her gum bleed. She spat the blood in the toilet, wiping her lips. Today wasn't her best day. She had barely slept the night before, and her arm was dead from laying on it too long. She had just come out of the shower, and a soft white towel was wrapped around herself. The long blonde locks that made up her hair dripped water on the floor. Amane splashed cold water on her face and patted it dry with a facetowel. She walked through to the bedroom to see Mukoro standing with his hair braided and his glasses on. She suddenly felt very conscious of herself and made an attempt at hiding behind her hair as she walked to her closet. He always looked so gorgeous, even when he was sleeping. She had watched him sleep on numerous occasions when she had woken up. He looked so peaceful and content, Amane was incredibly envious. She wondered if she even deserved him sometimes.

Amane shook her head and pulled out a set of underwear and a pair of jeans. She found her Hello Kitty t-shirt and quickly got changed.

Amane blinked. "Leave...Suna? Mukoro...I grew up here..." She said slowly, trying to take in what he had said. "I'm Kazekage..." She gulped, holding onto him tightly as he spoke of the peaceful place with the mansion on the beach he had bought. "A..Are you sure?" She stuttered nervously. This was so sudden, It might be a better life for them though, a peaceful, quiet life for them to spend all of their time on their child. Amane looked around the room and walked to the window, looking out over her home village. Odin padded over and pawed her waist, as if comforting her. Maybe the Island village would be better. She sighed deeply and went back to Muk, hugging him tightly. "I'll go write my resignation..." She said quietly.

Amane took a piece of paper and began to write.

Dearest Imizago,

I have decided it best for me to leave Sunagakure, thus relieving myself of the title Kazekage. I am having a child, and I think it best to bring it up somewhere peaceful, where there is no chance of war. My sincerest apologies.

I want you to know I would not have left Kazekage so easily had it not been for the former Tsuchikage, the father of my child. He has shown me love and care, and thus has earned mine in return.

Thank you for this amazing opportunity, being Kage of the village that brought me up was a dream come true, but my child needs a safer place to grow up.

Thank you.

Amane~

She sealed the letter in an envelope and took Muk's hand. "Okay. When do we leave?" She sighed softly.

Amane kneeled down next to Muk. "why are you sorry? You only want what's best for our child. That's not something to be sorry about." she put a finger on his chin and pulled his head to hers, meeting his lips with her own for a short moment. "You should be proud. You could be saving our baby from a hell of a lot of danger." she smiled at him. Sure, she would miss Suna, but that didn't mean they couldn't come back for visits. "I would go greater distances than the Island village for our baby and you." she said, placing both her hands on either side of his face. "Your a good daddy." she said, a tear almost escaping from her eye. Amane hugged him close and silently let the tear go as she buried her face in his hair. "I love you." she whispered into his ear.

Amane stood after a few minutes and held out her hand to her lover. "Come on, we have packing to do."

Amane had said her goodbyes to everyone, and thankfully Imizago had accepted her decision with open arms. He understood how she felt, and wished her a happy life with her family. She had asked to keep her Kage hat as something to remember them by, and he had told her that it was hers, and the next Kazekage would be tailored a different one. She had almost finished packing away her things, when she looked out of the office window. There stood the father and son she had seen when Mukoro visited her for the first time. She smiled and waved at the child, and he enthusiastically waved back, grinning from ear to ear. The father laughed and waved at her, before taking his sons hand and leading him over the bridge.

Amane looked at her bare closet. It was just as it had been when she had first arrived here. The drawers we're empty, and the bathroom held nothing of hers. Her big suitcase was full of her clothes and items. She decided she would leave her wolf painting here, as not to forget she once was Kazekage. Odin cocked his head to the side, wondering what was happening. The packing was hard work, but Amane was ready to leave when he was. She fell into the bed and squeezed her eyes shut. She would miss this place terribly, but would not show it in front of Muk in case she upset him. She summoned the bravest voice she could muster. "Okay Mukoro-kun.....I'm ready."

Muk sat on her desk after he helped her pack he looked around as he saw the couch, where he enticed her on. He blushed slightly as he grinned. They had some good times on the broken bed. Muk nodded slightly feeling guilty. But he knew that this would be better for the both of them. A nice mansion by the beach having a nice relaxing job to do occasionally. Muk wanted this kind of life since the first day he was born. A few hours had been passed by as they arrived in the Island Village.
