Central Konoha

[anbukurono]

This is the center and most busy area of the Hidden Leaf Village, all roads leading to it. Due to its location, this place is the most busy place in the village between its various ninja equipment shops and places to eat.

Ashley would slowly wake up as she looked up at Anzu. "Oh...Anzu-chan...You took so long...so I dozed off a little bit. I'm sorry." Ashley says, still waking up, as she saw Dargan on her back. "And who is this?" Ashley asked, seeing Dargan.

[anbukurono]

Seeing Ashley wake up, Anzu would stop and back off from her. " That's alright, I should be the one apologizing. That guy had tried to make me get into a fight with him before losing interest." She says explaining what had happened after she left before letting Dargan down. " This is my younger cousin Dargan. He graduated from the academy today and so I thought it would be a good idea for him to be able to join in to celebrate his graduation as well."

[Dawning Wolf]

"Well then Dargan, congratulations on graduating. I suppose I can fit one more person on the bill." Ashley would say with a smile. "Dargan would give a quick generous bow. "Thanks, I am pleased that you are treating me." Dargan would say with a smile. Ashley would motion for them to follow as she walked into the ice cream parlor. "So, what do you guys want?" Ashley asked. "I want a cherry ice cream cone!" Dargan said excitedly following Ashley in.

[anbukurono]

" See Dargan, I told you it wouldn't be a problem." Anzu says smiling to Dargan glad to hear that Ashley didn't mind treating him as well for his graduation. As Ashley asks her about the flavor she wanted, Anzu would look over to the menu, checking the flavors for something that she liked. Making up her mind on a flavor, she would make her order as well. " I'll have a mango flavor mochi ice cream."

" Alright then, I'll have a chocolate swirl ice cream." Ashley says to the server, having made up her mind while the others were deciding. After being rung up, Ashley would pay the server before she goes to get them their ice cream. After a couple of minutes, she would return giving the group their individual orders wishing them a good day. " I'm sure that the two of you will like their ice cream. It's the best in Konoha. Now how about we get ourselves a seat?"

" That table over there looks available." Dargan says pointing over to an empty table across the room.

" Alright, let's go." Ashley says before the three of them start over to the table, sitting down and beginning their ice cream.

Dargan and Ashley would sit down, as Dargan said "Hey Onee-chan, sit next to me!" Dargan would say to Anzu, patting the seat next to him in the booth. "So, are you and him brother and sister then?" Ashley asked Anzu.

[anbukurono]

" Alright, alright." Anzu says with a gentle voice moving over to the side that Dargan had sat down on and sits down next to him. As Ashley asks about their relation, she would shift her eyes to him before shifting them back to Ashley. " Well something like that. We're actually cousins but he's been cared for by my parents since he was young. So I guess we kind of are like siblings."

[Dawning Wolf]

"Oh? What made your parents take care of him? Did something tragic happen? Did they end up leaving him in an unexpected way?" Ashley asked, as curious struck her with why Dargan lived with Anzu's parents and her.

[anbukurono]

Anzu wasn't really sure how to respond and with Dargan there, was sort of hesitant to respond to Ashley's question. She knew that it wasn't something that he liked to be reminded of at all as it was possibly the most tragic thing of his life. " It's...something that's really painful to Dargan. I'd rather not talk about it." Anzu responds, her expression and take becoming more somber as she spoke of it showing that it was sad.

[Dawning Wolf]

Even hearing the presence of his parents, Dargan would get upset, as he would burst out in tears saying "Why did you have to leave me!?" Dargan would say, as she threw his ice cream down and started to run out of the shop.

"Hey! Wait!" Ashley would say, as she sighed, as she looked at Anzu with a face of sorrow and honesty. "I am sorry Anzu-Chan....I didn't know it was so sensitive." Ashley would say

[anbukurono]

Seeing Dargan get up and run off, Anzu would instantly jump up from her seat. " Dargan wait!" She says calling out to him with a concerned voice. She knew that this couldn't have ended well the second that things had shifted to why he wasn't with his parents. " It's alright sensei, you didn't know he would react like that. You see, the reason that my parents have cared for him since he was younger is because his parents were killed on a mission. My parents do good to raise him like he was their own, but it's still really painful to him." Finishing her explanation of what had just happened, she would run out of the shop to find Dargan.

[Dawning Wolf]

Ashley would sigh, as she continued sitting at the booth. "I have to be careful with what I say from now on." Ashley would say, as she would wait for Anzu to return.

Dargan would continue to run down the street of central Konoha. He would start to run into the main streets of Konoha, still crying because he was hurting on the inside.

[anbukurono]

Anzu would quickly run after Dargan, chasing after him through Central Konoha. " Dargan come back!" She yells out to him following him in chase trying to calm him down. Seeing that he was heading into the streets of the village, she would form a handsign activating her Byakugan so she could track his position into the crowd.

"Alright! I promise that I will keep it up!" Dargan would say, cheerfully laughing, as he kept on running, pulling Anzu along, as they quickly made their way to the ice cream shop. "Ice cream, ice cream! Can't wait for the ice cream!" Dargan would say

Anzu would give a bit of a giggle, smiling, happy to see Dargan back in a good mood again. Walking up with him through the streets of Konoha, the two would finally return to the ice cream shop. " We're back sensei, sorry about earlier." She says approaching Ashley as she enters into the shop with Dargan, apologetic about the whole thing but glad that it had been cleared up.

[Dawning Wolf]

"I should be the one apologizing." Ashley would smile as she said. "Dargan-Kun, I'm sorry about bringing that up. I didn't know it was such a touchy subject." Ashley says, as she hands Dargan another ice cream she had purchased for him as an apology gift. "Can you forgive me."

Dargan would see the ice cream as he would quickly take it and started to eat it quickly. "This ice cream is good! Thank you!" Dargan would say smiling and laughing. "I forgive you." Dargan would throw in, as he enjoyed his ice cream.

"Well, it seems that your cousin seems a bit energetic." Ashley would say jokingly, giggling a little as she whispered to Anzu.
