Making A Wish Under The Sun

EPISODE 28: Make Out Tactics

"He was... tall. Really muscular... He had this way with animals and he was so..." She paused her ears burning up.

"What's his name?" Sakura asked. Emi waved the question away saying she wasn't going to see him again anyway.

"So you say guys, as in plural," Sakura began again, "Who else?"

"Well there was this older guy. He was pretty ripped, a bit... unusual. I was in a mixed bathing bath house and he sorta just.... show me his, well-" An eruptions of gasps sounded from the entire room. Emi felt her face turn red and she focused on her feet.

"Like how old are we talking here?" Naruto began, "Like, Kakashi old or Grandma Tsunade old?"

"Maybe early thirties?" She said nervously.

"Ew! Was he even really good looking? Or was it your inexperience that made him attractive?" Ino asked.

"He just caught me by surprise. I've really only been attracted to the other person," she gave a small smile.

"Come on, you have to tell us more!" Ino pressured her.

She then went on to explain her mission, excluding names and a lot of smaller details. Everyone seemed quite intruiged. Once she was finished Sakura spoke up.

"Wait a minute, they took a sample of what produces the effect of your Yokubo at the medical ward?" She asked.

"Yeah. Isn't that normal if you have a kekkei genkai like me?" She asked.

"No, not really," Naruto said. Everyone confirmed this.

"Meh, I won't worry about it much. Plus, it's not like it's of much use once it dries up," Emi said.

"And how long does it take to dry?" Kiba asked.

"On something that isn't living? Sort of like pen ink, so maybe a few minutes or so," Emi replied.

"Lets push that aside for now. Now, what's the problem here about that guy?" Ino asked.

"Well, I don't know what's it like to like someone as in love them. I don't know how to really handle those types of situations," she admitted.

"Tell us what you feel when you think of him," Hinata spoke up.

Emi took a moment. She remembered his warmth. He made her feel like she was enveloped in sunshine. When he just happened to touch her or vice versa she felt safe. She really wanted to more time with him. She just felt... complete when he was with her. She proceeded to explain her thoughts.

"You're in love!" Ino exclaimed.

"What do you even know about this guy?" Naruto exclaimed.

"Hmm," she realized she didn't really know much about him, other than what she'd observed, "His first name." Everyone froze and looks of disappointment took over.

"Uhhhhh that's not reallly..." "Yeah, you should get to know someone before you go professing your love and stuff," Kiba said, interrupting Naruto before he said something stupid.

"I think it is romantic!" Lee exclaimed. Everyone turned, having forgotten he'd been there.

"What do you feel about the other guy? The older one. Do you know much about him?" Ino asked, grasping at straws.

"Hmmm nope. Just his name," Emi replied.

"You really do suck at this type of thing, don't you?" Sakura pinched the bridge of her nose.

"At least tell us what this so called amazing guy looks like. Maybe he'll show up looking for you," Kiba said.

"Hmm.... Tall. Very tall. Orange hair, orange eyes, tan skin. Big muscles, emphasis on big," she said.

"What is it with you and big muscles?" Naruto asked, scowling.

"Hey! And what's with you never having been in a relationship?" She snipped back.

"Neither of you can talk. Naruto especially. His first kiss was a guy after all," Ino snorted, chuckling.

"It was an accident!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Miss Emi, who was your first kiss with?" Lee asked.

"Hmm..." She thought back throughout her life. She'd never really meant to kiss anyone, but some incidents happened that were similar to a kiss she supposed.

"Ah hah! There was a time I was in Sunagakure and I ran face first into this guy," she explained. Everyone's hearts dropped.

"That's not a kiss Emi," Ino said.

"Well then, no one,'she said, shrugging. The group chatted the night away. Emi was sure she'd feel exhausted the next morning, but at least she didn't feel as bad as before. Her mission was finally over.
