Fire Nation: Fire Nation Capital - Fire Lord's Palace ~ Flashing Back

Kaon felt his fist coming towards her chest and immediately a hand shot out to grab his throat, the other knocking his arm away. "Hey!" she barked. "That looked like it was gonna hurt!"

Kiharu smiled at Kaji. "Well, with you guys around I already feel a bit better. Thanks for the company."

Hisaki blushed under Hideki's compliment. "Um... thank you. Um... how is your family...?"

Hayato laughed "So did that punch to my shoulder" he smiled "Remember that?" Hayato laughed again and patted Kaon on the back. Kaji smiled and sat at the end of the bed "I do what I can" he said. Hideki smiled and laughed "I think you're confusing me with Hayato....I don't have a family remember?" he said.

((OOC: This is Kura, pretending that this is the time Hisaki doesn't know jack sh*t about Hideki.))

Hisaki frowned. "You don't?" she said, her voice rising a few octaves. "I'm sorry. Do you remember your mommy or daddy at all?" she wondered, shuffling over to pull herself up next to Kaji. "Isn't Hayato your brother?"

Kaon rolled her eyes. "Okay, so our punches looked like it was going to hurt? Did we like it? No! So I don't like it when you throw hard punches." To any usual person, this wouldn't make sense, but she was five.

She sat down on the grass and pouted. "I wanted Kaji and the others to follow me so we could all play together, but they don't even care that we left."

Hideki laughed putting his hand on Hisaki's shoulders "No it's okay...I haven't talked with you much have I?" he asked laughing "Well I never met my mother...but my father, he was a pirate, he was the best pirate ever....but one day I just remember an explosion and then water....and I washed up on the beach....that's about all I know." He said smiling embaresdly and scratching the back of his head laughing a bit. Hayato laughed a little bit at Kaon and sat next to her, he looked up at the sky staring at the clouds "Hey Kaon?" he asked "Have you ever wondered why the Sky is blue?"

Hisaki sighed softly. "Oh... well it's a good thing we found you."

Kaon was still angry, but she lied down next to Hayato anyway. "No. Why would you want to know something like that?" She stared at the clouds rolling by, feeling a bit sleepy.

Hayato shrugged "I dunno...just trying to make conversation...I guess" he said. Hideki smiled at Hisaki "Yeah I guess it is a good thing...I'm glad I know you" he said.

Kaon grinned at him. "Kiharu asked this question once -- she's always asking questions -- and Haru said that the spirits decided blue would be a nice color for the sky. Would you want it to just be red all the time?" she muttered somewhat absently. "Well, I don't care. Red is the best color in the world!"

Hisaki blushed and replied, "I'm glad I know you too. You're fun to talk to."

Hayato laughed "Don't ever change Kaon" he said smiling. Hideki smiled back "Yeah same with you" he said. Kaji rolled his eyes and whispered to Kiharu "Could they make it any more obvious? They're more obvious than Hayato and Kaon."

Kaon glanced at Hayato for a moment and frowned. "Why do you always smile at me so much?" she said. "That's just creepy." She gave a brief sigh and kicked at the air, as if she was trying to tease the clouds. "Don't'cha wish you can just go aalll the way up there and just fly aaaalll around?"

Kaon rolled over on her stomach. "I want a dragon, but I can't learn to fly one till I'm fifteen. Isn't that stupid?"

Kiharu raised a brow at Kaji, despite her fever. "Eh. They'll outgrow it. Just watch."

Hayato blushed and looked away "Uh...no reason" he said scratching his head "Hmm....I rode a dragon once..it's fun...maybe one day we could ride together huh?" Kaji laughed "Who knows...part of me hopes they do...so I don't have to put up with this....but another part of me....well I think they'd be perfect for each other...no?" Kaji looked at his cousin, he smiled in his usual way.
