Maru & Raina trip to Melody Cave

Description and info of Area:This cave is the biggest attraction site there are many crystals upon the ceiling of the cave that reach the outer side of the cave. Moonlight or sunlight reflects off the crystals making a wonderful warming aura. The cave continues to underground holes (Some say from preexisting volcanoes) which has continuous air movement making a soft charming melody play.

Maru reached the entrance to the kage with Raina as he waited. "Are you ready for this?" Maru smiled waiting.

Raina stared around thte entrance to the cave, wide-eyed. "Whoa.." She touched the Cave wall and felt the warmth of the earth, right down to the molten earth underneath. She grinned and then heard Maru ask something. "Huh? What was that Maru-sama?" She turned to him and focused.

Maru laughed to himself and moved behind her. "Close your eyes" He smiled and waited for he to do so. "Trust me i wanna surprise you"

"Huh? Um o-okay.." She blinked then catiously covered her eyes. Her body tensed for lack of guard but she eased up. "Okay.."

Raina hesitates opening her eyes, listening to the light musical that the crystals gave off. She pulled her hair behind her ears again before opening her eys. They reflected the glittering beauty ofthe moonlight in the crystals. "Oh.. whoa.."

Maru moves over you the wall and places his hand on the wall. "Would you like a crystal?" Maru didn't look at her when he asked.

"Hmm?" Raina had already started wandering around and examining the crystals. She picked one up and stared through them at Maru, her gold eyes were enlarged with the refraction. "Huh? Take one?"

"Haha yes i give u permission you may take one" Maru chuckles at Raina "Your cute i'll give you that much" Maru sits down and looks up at the ceiling his eyes glimmering a bit.

Raina grins and puts the crystal in her kunai pouch for safe keeping. "Okay then I'll keep it safe.. Eh?! Cute?!" o//o She stuttered out and then almost fell over. She stood back upright and rubbed her head. "Ahaha.. So uh.. How's running the village? I saw at the academy that its got new genin." ^//^

Maru laugh back chuckling. "Haha yes indeed cute." Maru listened to her and sat down near the cave wall. "Yes i herd that ass well. Haven't seen this gennin much really." Maru shrugged a bit. "Been busy scouting the other villages." He looked towards Raina blushing."Haha Someone has rosey cheeks.." He winked slightly and smiled.

Raina rubs her face, trying not make it return to normal. "S-scouting? Sounds cool Maru-sama." She looked around again and walked over to the wall beside Maru and looked at annother rather huge crystal.

Maru chuckled a bit and looked at you a bit noticing you looking at a largish crystal. "What are you thinking about at the moment?" Maru said this wondering.

Raina shruged and tapped on the crystal. "Nothing.. Just admiring the crystals, feeling the heat from the pressure coming off the earth.."

Maru gets up holding hi head a bit..."Damnit....I-i got to go....* Maru runs out of the cave as he reaches the entrance. "Damn......shut up shut up!"....Maru's voice in his head. You can only silence me for so long I am the real you not this heartfilled kage!...."I am what i choose to be..." and you chose my at birth.

Maru punches himself as the thoughts went away. Maru punched himself to bring himself to his own knees. "Heh.....you maybe right...but this is my body for now.." Maru gets up but staggers back to his knees. "Isn't this magical..." x.x

"Huh? Maru-sama?" Raina watched him grabbed his head and run off. She had the urge to chase after him and ask what was wrong but she hesitated. She'd probably just get in the way of something important. Anyways she started to the exit and saw Maru on his knees, it appears that he was in a fight recently. How was that? He had just left. "Maru-sama?!" She yelled as she ran to his side then knelt beside him. "Are you okay? What happened..?"

Maru tries getting up...Damnit....Come on... Maru gets up cramping up, but stills get up. "Im....Im fine...." He turns to her. "see?"

"That's a fool's lie!" Raina huffed and crossed her arms. Then she extended her arms to help Maru support hmself as he stood up.

"Im fine....." He moves away... "What good is a kage who cannot support himself? A kage supports his village , its people, and himself...." Maru straightens up. Even though your not fit to be a kage.....You shouldn't be a kage your a monster....be strong like a kage or like a monster?... "Im strong..."

Raina started to say something then quieted herself. ".. Okay.." Then folding her hands behind her back she followed closely behind Maru, her eyes dimmed with melancholy.

Maru takes a step foward towards Raina...."What are you gonna say?.....Please tell me...."

When Maru advanced to her, Raina stepped back. "Its.. just.. What i've learned since leaving my family is that you can depend on help from your fellow shinobi.. you don't have to do everything alone and stuff.." She kicked at the firt andd looked to the side.

"Haha....your cute......That is how you will live......and how i will die....." Maru turns around. He walks to a tree and leans against it. "I would depend on people...Im just used to being alone...Doing everything myself..People can't fully depend on me...I can't even depend on myself"....

Raina looked down at the ground and clenched her fists. "Okay then..Well.. i'm going to go train before the day is night..Have a nice day Maru-sama.." She bowed quickly and ran off towards the Village housing, not looking back.

Maru coughed out blood as soon as she left. "She left....understandable." Haha you thought she wouldn't?"..."I thought i shut you up..." Maru punches himself again. harder then before."Ghn....."Maru goes back into the cave..to where he collapse a bit and sleeps.
