6Naruto and Yoru walked along the streets of konoha, and were talking about what they had missed in two years. Even though Naruto hadn't liked Yoru, and Yoru hadn't liked Naruto either somehow they seemed to be good friends… maybe because of the hurt they both shared because of Yoake.
Yoru was talking merrily. "So then I went out with Buraindo-" He was about to continue when he heard Naruto gag at the name. The blonde turned to him, and almost yelled.
"What would posses you to go out with that?!" He remembered the older girl…
"Buraindo at your service." The girl said bowing. She smiled. "Oh don't worry I won't hurt you… badly." She said trailing a finger under his chin, lifting his face towards hers. She smiled as she started to lean down to kiss him, but he turned his face so her lips hit his cheek. She pulled back, and then smirked. "You virgin?" she asked walking back to where Yoake was standing.
"And that's your business because why?" Yoake spat motioning to the door.
"Virgins are always fun to play with don't you know. Well then again you are one yourself Yoake-chan." The older girl smirked, and left.
Yoru laughed, and then continued. "I wasn't finished… I went out with her to get her to help with a mission. It was only me and Toge-sensei at the time because Yoake hadn't come back yet…"
"Toge-sensei! Where is Yoake-san?!" Yoru's voice was raised louder than it had been in years, it hurt him.
"Like I told you; I don't know!" The older woman yelled back, she hadn't yelled since she was young…
"How do you not know?! You should have known this would happen! She should have had a watch on her at all times! Who knows-" Yoru was worried, after getting back from konoha Yoake had disappeared, all her things still in her house… except for one picture… her family.
"Yoru Moya! How dare you yell at your sensei?!" Toge hadn't had to fight with any one verbally in so long, at least not someone younger, her blood boiled.
"You aren't my sensei when Yoake-san isn't here! She's the only reason I'm a shinobi, so don't talk like you know anything Toge-san!" Then he turned and stomped off like a child in a tantrum. Toge watched, and her shoulders slumped as she wondered what was going to happen now.
"So we needed three people to help on our mission to the land of snow to kill some assassins. Although it was easy enough our leaders said we needed another team member. Only way to Buraindo is physically." He winked then laughed as Naruto caught on. "The mission was over and I didn't need her before it got too far." Naruto glared at him for a moment, wishing to disband the forming thoughts, then laughed as well.
Naruto was glad Yoru was here, he liked talking to a boy his age who wasn't always calling him a loser, like Sasuke often reverted to. Of course Naruto didn't mind Sasuke's insults, he laughed inside when he remembered when they were just starting their path to shinobi, missions with his squad, former enemies like Zabuza and Haku, and allies like Inari and his family. Sometimes he wished those days hadn't ended…
Naruto came back to the present when Yoru stopped in the street. He looked around, and then turned into a small store. Naruto followed, and both were greeted by an elderly man, his hair grey with age. He wore dark pants, and a brown shirt. Yoru asked for shoes, and followed the man to find some. The blonde stayed where he was, looking at what else this store held.
He looked at many pairs of shoes, mostly for normal villagers to wear, not suitable for ninja. He saw some books, and walked over to them. Most were for cooking, some fiction, nothing he wanted. As he was about to pick up a book Yoru stepped over to him, wearing black shoes that didn't cover his toes. He paid the old man, and they left without saying anything. As they started walking through the village again though they resumed a conversation. This time it was about Naruto's life since coming back to Konoha…
Naruto told Yoru about regaining his memories, the happy and sad, fun and painful. But what Yoru realized was that Naruto would say something about a memory, like "I remember when Sakura gave me this look once-" and then after he finished his story he would say something like "it made me think of Yoake when she was helping me with-", then he would stop, and start onto something else. It made it hard to follow for Yoru, but he could tell Naruto didn't want to talk about Yoake at all. Maybe it was just bad luck that a certain girl with fire hair was watching them from the stone faces, and maybe it was chance that Naruto looked up and saw the swirl of red chakra before she seemed to disappear. Maybe he was imagining it… He looked back to Yoru, and smiled as their talk of the past and present resumed.
Her blue eyes focused on him from inside the pulsing crowd on the street. She had left Chimamire to wander, and had also seen her sitting on the top of the stone faces; all nine of her tails had been unfolded, slashing at the air, wanting so badly to once again touch her Kyuubi, missing him so. Yoake clutched her chest, and unbeknownst to her Naruto did the same.
