Somehow I'll make a man out of you... well, more like woman out of myself (Open)

Sho nods atbthe compliment, grinning." Thanks. Here's hoping...I don't feel like staying stuck in here the rest of my life,hahahaha..." An honest truth was that he'd never been outside the village, not really. Sure, he'd been to towns on missions,but not for long, and they were always nearby ones.Then, she winks, saying she hadn't wanted to wait. He's stunned for a brief second, then grins, firing back." Well, then, We can always retry it,hahaha!Or do you wanna do something else?"

Haruka noticed his reaction, for a second he had caught him off guard, that definitely made her day. He recovered and offers to do it again, to which she waved him away I wouldn't want to spoil the tension for next time. He then suggested they should do something else, to which she just shrugged We could go out to eat or something

Sho grins, comically flexing." Yah...I guess its not wise to have too much of me." Then she suggests going to lunch. He immediately jumps on the chance to tease her some more, kneeling and taking her hand, bowing his head over it." I knew it....I knew this was destined... A girl who freely freely offers food...truly you are a sain!!" Hopping up, he cackles, winking ." In other words, alright, let's go!"

Haruka just laughed at Sho's comment, and especially the way he flexed his unimpressive muscles for a joke, but what was most funny was the way he reacted to her suggestion of going out for food, he even bowed, for a second Haruka thought he may even kiss her hand or something, what with the way he was acting A saint would pay for both of our meals she left that in the air before leading him to a place he knew.

Sho blinks, projecting exaggerated surprise." Egad, another laugh?!I'm really on a roll!" He grins,both at himself and her comment, and follows her, blinking as he sees where." Well,well,well, the Lizard Cave!!Sweet!" He looks at Haruka." Do you like this place too,huh?"

Haruka smiles at his comment Don't get too far ahead of yourself, all it'll take is one bad joke They soon arrived at the Lizard cave, a place that Haruka went too often, for more than just the fact that it's really close to the training grounds Yeah, I love the food here! she went in and walked over to the counter, simply saying Can I have the usual, please?

Sho saunters in, following Haruka." Hah! My jokes are never bad.Even my crudest pranks are a work of art." He grins as the person, who was nodding and smiling at Harukas order, blinks." What.....Hey, this isn't Thursday." Sho grins." Im not here to preform. Give me the usual, yah?"The person rolls their eyes." Yah..sure. I'm surprised you managed to get a date!" Sho blinks." H-hey!! I'm quite the catch. Besides, this isn't a date."

Sho insisted that none of his jokes were bad, even his worse jokes were still really good apparently, Haruka smiled but didn't say anything. When she came in with Sho, the person at the counter was surprised that he had a girl with him, which made Haruka laugh to herself. She went over to a table and waited for her order to arrive So, the people here know you well?

Sho grins." Well...I stayed with the owner for a few months a few years back.He'd have me play sometimes. Ever since then, I've been showing up every week, and put on a performance....heh, the staff still treats me like their little bro..." He scratches his eyebrow, sighing, then shrug, grinning."Ah well..So, what's your story, Thorny One?" The waitress comes, bringing in the order. Who's was a vareity of snake meat, and sand rabbit jerky, with a few sugar buns on the side." Ah, ...Ayame....Wondrous as ever."She rolls her eyes, sitting down the foodvand putting her fist in the middle of his Mohawk, rapidly twisting it and giving him a noogie." Owowowow..." " don't try charming me, baby lizard.I'll be wanting the full tip" She smiles at Haru." Feel free to smack him upside the head if he gets annoying, dear.No onell complain, hahaha." Sho rubs his head." Onee-san, you've gotten meaner.."

Haruka listened to Sho's story, nodding when he was done You must be good if they want you back every week she smiled, then she was asked for her story I don't really have a story, if you mean why I go here then it's just because it's only a short walk from the training grounds. Haruka watched as the waitress serves their meals, then Sho jokingly tries to charm her and she replies by bullying him as if he was her younger brother, she then told her that it would be okay to hit him if he was getting annoying Hahaha, well, I've had my full of hitting him back at the training grounds. Thanks for the meal though she would then start to dig in.

Sho grins." Music's my weapon...of course I'm good!!" The waitress rolls her eyes." That..or we took pity on you." Ignoring the glare and tongue Sho sticks out at her, she smiles at Haruka." Well....good for you! He needs humbling." Flicking said 'he' on the head, she nods." Its no problem,dear.I hope you enjoy." She turns around, ruffling Show hair as she walks away." Be good." Making a face at her back, he begins eating, humming apprectiavely.

Haruka laughed slightly when the waitress mocked Sho further, stating that the reason for letting Sho perform every week is that they took pitty on him. The waitress then left, ruffling Sho's hair. Once she had gone through a few mouthfuls, Haruka spoke up She seems nice, bit bossy, but I'm guessing she's only like that with you she smiled after adding that bit at the end.

Sho gnaws on a price of jerky, looking up as the meat hangs out of his mouth like a cigar." S'not..." He takes it out of his mouth,thinking for a bit."......................I think I once saw her give Onee-san a wedgie..." He sighs." But I guess I am her favorite,yah....Fun, right?" He grins." So, anyone you give wedgies to?"

Haruka smiled, taking bites from her food and laughing as Sho describes himself as her favourite to bully. He then asked if there was anyone she gave wedgies to Well, not literally, but I guess I gave those guys back at the training area metaphorical wedgies since I beat them so badly even though it was 3 to 1 she then just shrugs and has one more bite of her food I'd ask you but you strike me as more of a wedgies receiver than a dealer

Sho chuckles." Hahaha, you certainly did...but I meant in the way of siblings. You're modest, though,very,very modest." He grins teasingly, then blinks at her remark." Hey, I'm not as obvious as you or the demoness, but I do my fair share."He leans back." I remember when I set up a series of pranks that wound up with my target being tarred and feathered...."

Haruka laughed nervously when he mentioned siblings Err... about that... I kinda broke my brother's arm one time when I was 5 when we were rough housing she laughed awkwardly So uhh... just be glad it's your underwear that's getting yanked and not well... your arm

She realised that she had made things a little awkward and decided to focus on what Sho said next instead of acting like what had just happened ever did happen Oh really? That seems a bit extreme, what did he even do? if he felt like sharing, she would eat while listening to his explanation.

Sho pales slightly as she mentions she broke her brothers arm at the age of 5, then grins cheekily." Yikes, that young? You sure are terrifying." Then she asks what his target did. He stills....-Orphan! Parent less! Nobody wants you,hajahaha!!- shasking off the memories, he grins, leaning back." Heh..nothing that bad,but it was funny! He even squacked like a bird!"

Haruka noticed him get slightly nervous when she mentioned the story of her breaking her brothers arm, so she hastily added Oh, no, don't misunderstand, it was just an accident right, because breaking someone's arm without even intending too is so much less intimidating, great job Haruka, great job.

Haruka noticed him reacting in an odd way to her question, she could also tell slightly that he was lying in his response, but she pretended not to notice Sounds funny, even if it was a bit overboard she said before chewing some more food So, you play here on thursdays? I'll have to come over for that

Sho chuckles." Sure,sure.That's much less terrifying." He grins teasingly." Oh...it didn't take that long for him to clean off the gunk...only a few days. Not that bad,hahanaha!And yep, I play here on Thursdays." He rubs the back of his head." I hope you enjoy it,heh..."

A dust cloud kicked up in the far region, and seemed to be heading towards the two. Merely a few moments later, Yanagi arrived on the scene, skidding to a stop as the dust cloud halted and sunk back into the ground. But as she looked around, Haruka wasn't there!

"Huuuuuuuuuh?! I could've sworn Haruka was here!" She faintly sensed the chakra she was so familiar with, and...something new. She sighed, looking at the ground.

"I missed a fight..."

"I missed a fight..."

Haruka laughed nervously when Sho joked about the arm breaking being an accident was more scary, even though he probably really thought that way. As Haruka finished her food, she saw something outside, a huge dust cloud moving very quickly over to where Haruka and Sho were fighting just a second ago. Haruka realised who it was once the dust had cleared and smiled, she ran over to the entrance of the door, not actually leaving since she hadn't paid yet, and waved so that Yanagi would see her Yanagi-kun! Over here!

Sho grins as Haruku laughs nervously, and he comically waggles his eyebrows, trying to set her on ease." Aaaaah....have I impressed you with my terrifying skill in the trick arts? Indeed, I must have, for that seems to be awe shining in your eyes." Sho chuckles, then finishes the meal, glancing up as his friend gets up and greets her friend. As she's distracted, he quickly pays for both meals, then gets up, going over to the door." Why, who is that gentle desert breeze?"

Yanagi was just about to go back to rigorously training, before seeing that Haruka was calling her from a nearby diner. Her eyes lit up, glad to see her friend, and she immediately sped over at a high speed, kicking up dust again before she stopped at the entrance.

"Haruka-chan!" She hugged her tightly (Assets notwithstanding), before letting her go, and looking at Sho. "You made a new friend? Who are you? I'm Yanagi."

Yanagi noticed them and ran over, she certainly seemed happy to see Haruka as she went over and hugged her tightly. Rather than minding, when Yanagi let go Haruka would hug her back, hugging slightly tighter than Yanagi had, because Haruka is that petty when it comes to comparing herself to her rival. She then let her go, Yanagi introduced herself to Sho and asked his name, Haruka would have introduced him, but she just wanted to see what he'd say.
