Grave head back to the village looking around for a moment he seemed like he was a new location but it was unsure for a moment before thinking about it he smiled saying to himself, "Finally made back…" Grave smirked at the village as it was filled with people just walking around as usual around this time of day. As he glanced down getting ready to walk to the village Grave was taken by surprised by another person whom appeared before Grave smiling as him, "how are you?" Before long Grave blinked for a moment before coming to notice it was a female from before. Sliding backwards getting in his fighting stance it was before long he noticed whom the female was. But he could not remember her name, "So…wait do I know you?" Blinking for a moment the female tackled him looking over him, "You better remember me considering I helped you with your Genin Exam…" Grave was on the ground with the female on top of him blinking wildly for a moment it seemed odd but he tried to remember her name.
"Ah…no…do not have a name to match the face…" The female sighed heavily before slapping him hard leaving a red mark as he let out a loud yell saying, "THE HELL Sakuya!" Thinking as he was rubbing his face he remembered the female, "Uh…wait I remembered your name…" She smiled then helped him up saying, "You better have cannot believe you haven't been in the village for so long I was beginning to think you were just dead or missing in action. But it seems you are doing just fine now that I can see you here." She smiled glance as his body for a moment before blushing lightly saying, "So… why are you in just pants and weights mister?" Grave blinked for a moment saying, "I'm here on training but also on a mission from grandfather seems I'm suppose to meet with a spy from another village to get some information and report it to the Raikage. But in doing so I must also report to the Asakuras." She blinked again only to smile saying, "Odd for you to be so serious on a mission…also I wanted to ask you something the next time I got to see you…" Grave turned wondering what it was, "Sure what is it?" She poked her index fingers together saying, "Well would you….like to go on a date or something."
Grave blinked then turned away saying with his eyes closed, "I cannot…I have someone waiting for me back at my home." Sakuya looked at Grave before turning away saying, "I…see… well I wish you to luck. I have to get…going anyway I need to report in for a mission." Slowly waving he blinked at the moment and turned to get back onto his mission as she had darted off behind a corner, thinking to himself Grave could only say, "She's upset…because the administration building is actually down the road…where she went off to…was the village exit…" Shrugging his shoulders Grave continued to walk down his path heading to the tea shop as he sat down the shop owner came out sitting in front of Grave, "Hello young sir, why are you here at such an early time?" Grave smirked saying, "I'm waiting on someone plus…I just came from the mountains after a while of being gone so finally getting to see my home village is really something to me." The old man smiled saying, "Yes the village of lightning is truly wonderful in some areas but in some cases it is even worse in other places." Grave lifted an eyebrow shaking his head saying, "Is it because of the wars that was started before for power…"
The old man smirked saying, "Yes… seems you are a man of history is that right…" Nodding softly to the old man Grave spoke with the man a bit about small things that he felt weighing him down. "I'm not even sure what to do really…" Grave said looking at the tea cup for the answer to the feelings within him. The old man smiled saying, "Well you should live the life you have and worry about the future for when it comes also, in some cases power is something that can only be obtain by those willing to control or help others. Do not forget that at all…" Grave nodded standing up placing money down for the owner, "Thank you for the talk." The old man took the money handing it back to him saying, "You do not need to your time was more worth the pay as you were willing to give it to me willing it." Grave nodded before turning around the old man also handed him a document saying, "Also Asakure Grave…you are a rather interesting person just like your grandfather said… I was having doubts about trusting others until meeting you, I hope we can meet again some time." The old man smiled walking away heading back to make more tea.
Grave was left shaking his head as he walked out the shop holding the document before having it stolen from him. "HEY!" Grave yelled as he chased the person as they were running towards the village gates. Their speed was higher but Grave could not use the cloak if anything within the village as he felt that it was cause a fear and a riot at the Asakuras. Trying to catch up to them it was odd as the person was leaving the village Grave noticed the body tone as it was a female and how they were moving gracefully through the air. "STOP Damnit!" yelled Grave as he was trying to catch within the forest that was before the village. As they continued to hop through it Grave notice he was away from the village as he landed on one branch it broke as he had two tails but was in the first version of the cloak as he suddenly caught up to the person. With his canine showing as he roared at them having them loose balance to fall to the ground sliding Grave stopped himself with the tails wrapping on the tree.
The boy jumped down to walk slowly over to the person staring confused a bit, "Now..explain to me why you would take this document huh!?" Grave leaned over taking it back as the person stood taking out a kunai and katana. Grave sighed lightly as he was getting in his stance as he watched the person charge at him dodging the blade with the cloak active the young priest continued to push off with the cloak until he felt something wet come on to his face. Looking carefully at the person he notice tears in their eyes. Having the cloak die down Grave stood still as they charged without him moving he opened his arms wide. As though he was embracing before long the blade stopped at his right shoulder wanting to come down before hearing the muttered voice, "Why…are you accepting it…" Grave looked down saying, "Because I hurt you…Sakuya…" Within that moment the eyes opened wide as she looked up taking a step back.
She shook her head as the katana and kunai feel from her hands as Grave took a step closer saying, "I'm sorry…I never meant to hurt you but some things happened so I had to leave the village for a while." Grave turned away as the female yelled out, "SO YOU HAD TO LEAVE! YOU LEFT ME BEHIND!" Grave never knew she had feelings for him as she was always serious and when he wanted to be with her it seemed everything change the moment he left after all. "I…cried…day and night…wanting you back…wanting you to hold me saying it will be okay…but you never came you never came back…So I thought you had died…or became a rouge." Grave blinked turning his head for a bit before saying, "I never would do that to you… I was dealing with what you saw just a while ago." She looked at him wiping the tears confused, "That…red chakra I… have never seen it before." Grave shook his head knowing that. Jumping back he got calm and had the blue flames take over as he became the Nibi. Roaring loudly the girl fell backwards shaking in fear as it took one step she was too scared to even move before hearing Grave's voice.
"This is my partner…Nekomata…she's also the ally of this village and Hikari's village." Reverting back to normal he shook his head saying, "Man…that takes a lot do to after a while." The girl blinked getting up in fear a bit but walking over to feel Grave's skin once again saying, "Did… you seal that thing in you?" Grave took her hand saying, "First she's not a thing her name is Nekomata and yes I did because I found people were begin killed in order to seal the her within objects or the cave. I had to stop the innocent lives being lost…so I took it as a priests job to seal her personally within myself. Until I learned that she is a living being like us…so we are allies and friends now." Sakuya stood up saying, "Does anyone else know…" Grave looked up saying, "Grandfather…my brother…my entire family now so yes they do know." Sakuya sighed heavily, "They'd lock you up in the village as a study but I understand what you did was to save lives. So you better not fail later in life." Grave smiled nodding as he placed the document in his pants before nodding at her as he walked by her side. "Sakuya…I still love you even though I never once said it to you but after I figured you did not want anything to do with me so…I figured I'd leave to let you live life…but I have to return this to my grandfather."
Within that moment she smiled happily turning to kiss him lightly before saying, "You just better stay alive damnit!" Nodding to that Grave smiled opening limbo vanishing within it.
