Meimei blinked, looking around. The village seemed so much smaller than her own. She noticed the headbands worn by everyone and their insignia, a couple wearing ANBU-like masks. "Oh, so you were raised in Kirigakure?" Meimei asked brightly, still taking in everything. A few kids wearing traditional kimonos ran past, animal masks worn at the side of their heads. "Is there a festival today? Everyone seems to be dressed for something!" Meimei noted that she was still on Hiro's back. "You can let me down, Hiro. I can walk," she said.

Hiro nodded and set her down on the ground. "Is there a festival today? Everyone seems to be dressed for something!" Hiro hadn't noticed really nor had he cared. Looking down at her, he simply shrugged. "Who cares. I hate this place." He pushed a kid out of the way as he worked his way through the crowd. "Little buggers are everywhere." Swearing under he breath, he grabbed Meimei and jumped up onto the nearest roof. "There, that's better. Now, would you like some food?"

Meimei looked over Hiro's face, shrugging. "Geez, you sure are loyal." she muttered. She nodded at the mention of food, noticing how hungry she was. Glancing down at the children running in the street, she smiled, laughing along with them. "I wonder how much those masks are?" she said, as if an afterthought to no one in paticular.

"If you want one, just take it. It's not like I'm well liked here." Hiro vanished and appeared at a small stand a few blocks away, just in front of a small stand. There were many masks there and Hiro was in a hurry, so he grabbed two or three and disappeared again. When he returned to Meimei, he held out the masks and blushed slightly. "I'm not used to giving gift, especially to girls, but here." He turned his head to the side so she couldn't see how awkward he was feeling. "Please, feel free to do as you wish."

Meimei blinked. When Hiro left, she shook her head. "I really think he misses this place..." she said sarcastically, brushing back her hair that'd been pulled out by the wind. Hiro retunred with three masks. Meimei laughed kindly. "What, is there someone here we're suppose to meet?" she smiled back, taking a cat mask. Placing it over her head, she faced Hiro. "What'd you think? Could I pretend to be an ANBU?" she laughed. "I'm gonna get some clothes. Why don't you just come and hang with everyone?" Meimei asked, swinging herself down from the roof.

Hiro gave an awkward smile to her as he landed on the ground. "You know, I like you. I've never met someone as different as you. After we're done here, would you mind coming with me? I could use the company and I don't really know anyone else." The was only getting more awkward for Hiro as he wasn't much of a social person. "So what do you think?"

Meimei smiled back at Hiro, walking out into the crowd. "Of what?" she asked. "You, or the village?" Meimei spotted a clothing shop, with a beautiful array of clothing and cloths. "Hold on a mo," she told Hiro, running towards the store. She bought a pretty red kimono,( Clickes) changing into it in the dressing rooms in the back. Coming back out front, she showed it to Hiro. "So, whatcha think?" she asked, laughing and smiling.

Hiro just stood there, eyes wide and mouth open. "You...you...you look hot. I can be seen with you in clothing like this." He gave a tug on his shirt to show what he ment. "Maybe I should were that mask, save my self the embarrassment. But... wow, you are hot." Hiro was completely blown away with her. "Would you mind if I asked you out?" Hiro's entire face turned red, embarrassed out of his mind. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to put you on the spot like that. You know what, just never mind. It's not important."

Meimei was startled. She hadn't really thought the outfit would be that drastic. She herself started to blush, taken back by Hiro's reply. A small, shy smile too her face as he joked about probably having to take the mask instead. But the one thing that completely took her breath was Hiro's reply; "Would you mind if I asked you out?" Meimei blinked, feeling the blood rush into her cheeks, tunring them red. Hiro shook his head, taking back his offer. Meimei came back to reality, stepping forward to take his hand. "No, I accept." she replied, entwining her small hand in his. Meimei smiled at him benevonently. "It's a date, then!" she said with a laugh.

Hiro was taken back. "Yes? Really?" It took a moment for the thought to sink in. "That's great. So, how about some real food, not just stuff we find growing around?" Taking her by the hand, he took her through the crowd and for once in his life, he was happy.

Meimei smiled, nodding. She was enjoying his reaction. It made him seem closer to her than before. "So, how about some real food, not just stuff we find growing around?" Meimei brightened, very hungry now. "Hell yes!" she laughed, following Hiro through the crowd.

Hiro gave a large grin as he took Meimei through the crowds of peopleThe streets were packed with every person conceivable and it wasn't even dusk yet. "Finding some place to eat is going to be very difficult, especially with what ever event this is going on. But no worries, the hungry will prevail!" Hiro a small laugh as he looked for food. .

Meimei laughed. "Seriously, you'd think that you would know what everyone was celebrating!" she remkared, keeping close to Hiro as they pushed their way through the crowd. Even though her village had been bigger than this one, she'd never seen so many people in her life. "Where the heck do these people come from, and how can they all hit here?" Meimei called out over the buzz of the crowd.
((Hold on, got an idea, I'll PM you it))

Hiro had long since gotten lost in his thoughts and didn't hear Meimei. It was true that this village hadn't been good to him, but that was no reason to completely cut yourself off from it. By then again, he hadn't done this as he still returned every once and a while so he could check up on things and make sure that his possessions were still in his apartment. Coming partially out of his thoughts, he looked around at the people they past. They had no worries in life. Their only concern was what they were going to do when the party was over. They had no concept of the real world or the things that needed to be done in order to keep them warm and happy. People and things were sacrificed so that they could live in peace.
Before he knew it, Hiro had completely blocked Meimei out. Turning to apologize, he was shocked to find her gone. The hand that still carried the stolen mask relaxed and let the ceramic mask fall to the ground, shattering into dozens of pieces. "d**n it. Meimei, Meimei!" His head flew from side to side as he scanned to rows of people to find her. It was nearly impossible since everyone looked the same with the masks. All Hiro could go on was her dress and even that wasn't much of a help. Flashes of red flew past Hiro's eyes and when they did, he reached out and grabbed it and hoped it was Meimei. Finally Hiro managed to get out of the crowd. He took a few steps away then turned to face it, a stern look on his face. "I gotta find her." Just as he motioned to take a step, a flash of something red caught his eye. Bringing his head around to face it, he saw that there was a small alley. "Worth a shot." Walking over to the alley, Hiro came around the corner and saw...

Meimei had tried to keep close to Hiro, but the surging of the crowd made it too hard. She acidentally let go of him, being pulled by the crowd to somewhere, she didn't know where. Pushing against the crowd, Meimei finally came to an open space, where she could breath easier. She couldn't noticed the two men behind her. All too soon, one came up and grabbed her by her wrist, another wrapping an arm tightly aroun her waist. "Hey! Let go!" Meimei complained, trying to pull herself away. The two laughed, obviously finding her struggles funny. Meimei drew in deep breaths, trying to calm herself and think about her situatuion. Hiro was probably four or five blocks away, she didn't think screaming would help. All the children were screaming, it wouldn't make a difference.
"C'mon, let's just have some fun. Maybe a few drinks then back to my place..." the second man laughed in her ear. Meimei could smell a hint of liquor on his breath. "Ew, no way." she shoved him off. "Get away from me you creeps!" The men laughed again and the one holding her wrist tightened his grip, pulling her close to him "Creeps, eh? That's not very polite!" Meimei hit him backhanded in the face, backing away from him. The second man tripped her from behind, catching her, then kissed her forcefully. Meimei hit him hard on the chest, but he just laughed, his hands traveling down her side.
"Hey! Don't spoil her. We still have others." said a thrid man from the shadows of an alley. Meimei kicked her abductor hard in the shins. He yelped, letting her. Meimei began to ran, but the thid man grabbed her around the upper arm. It was Meimei's turn to yelp, more in suprise than pain. "Did you really think we'd let go that easily?" He hissed, only two inches from her face. Meimei couldn't speak. Where was Hiro? The first man took her by the wrist again, and they both started to drag her down the alley. Her instincts clicked in again. She dug her feet into the ground, clawing at her captors. Then her voice came back. "Hiro!" she screamed before the second man muffled her with his grimy hand. Meimei bit his hand, kicking anything she could reach, her fists trying to hit the men. "Hiro! Over here!" she screamed again.
