I took a break from my job. I might quit it soon because it takes up my whole day. I walked around the area. Dammit, why is it always boring? I walked around a little more. If I see Kyubbi-san I am gonna hurt him for putting all his friends in danger. I knew very well I wasn't his friend since I haven't known him that long. It started to drizzle but I didn't care because it was so humid. It was gonna storm soon so I better go back to that annoying cafe. I felt a presence but it could have been a tourist. I walked back to te cafe and it started to storm. " I wish it would clear up soon", I sighed. I hated storms they always frightened me. "Well back to work", I mumbled.

Sorry if its short I did not know what to write.
Ow... My head hurts...
I woke up on the ground, I was covered in cuts and bruises. My sister was gone, I felt her presence, but she wasn't here. "Morning Kyu-kun," Hachi said, sitting down.
"Hachi... How do you know it's me and not my darker side?" I said, blinking my eyes to get adjusted.
"Dugh ssssssstupid your chakra is normal. When your darker ssssside ssssslips out I feel this weird chakra. Yep you're Kyu-kun, ssssO I figure you're fine now?"
I wasn't really sure, but I answered with ease. "Hachi you put too much faith in me, but ya I'm fine."
"Good 'cuz I'd rather not have to use Ryusemi on you too and lose those memories also. Then I would really be blued ssssscrewed and tattooed. Cuz then I wouldn't know any of the biju I do now hahhahahahaha."
Oh yeah, Hachimata's special weapon, a homemade sword and dragon that took the form of that chess-piece around Hachi's neck. "You have a weird sense of humor Hachi," I said laughing.
I started to get up and stretched a little. "Well now... Where are you going off to? At leassssst sssstay a while. Oh, and your ssssisster wassss here earlier but left," Hachi said.
I knew that she was here. I looked to Suki, who was sleeping nearby, and smiled. "I'm going to find her," I said, turning from Suki.
"At leasst wake that one."
I looked back and he was pointing at Suki. I stared for a minute and regretfully decided not to wake her up. "Hachi... naw just let her sleep..."
"Fine."
I was walking off, but paused and went back to Suki. I gave her a half-hug and then parted. I sniffed the air and left in Chiyoko's direction.

I listened to Yuri, but didn't have the heart to tell her that I still didn't understand. Everyone says love's a feeling, but....but what feeling? How am I supposed to know what feeling I'm looking for?
"mmm....morning Hachi...." Maki said grabbing my shirt to pull herself up,
"Morning Maki," I answered trying to calm down my heart. For some reason it was as if I was running a mile a minute or faster still.
"Maki....do you remember what you ssssaid lassst night?" I asked fearing she would say yes and at the same time fearing that she would say no.
"Hachi.....I said I loved you.....and.....I do....Hachi....." Maki started.
That was all I needed. My lips went to hers in a split second and it was like fireworks. Time seemed frozen n those seconds. It was just a kiss but as we broke apart it left me feeling beyond happy.
"Hachi....I've always loved you," Maki started.
"Maki....I love you," I answered, "I don't care if I'm a demon and you're human. I don't care. I love you Maki."
"Hachi..."
After I left Shukaku and Raijuu, I walked off. I walked for a long time. I didn't know where, I didn't know how but I just did. I past Many things like stores, resterants, and cafes but none of those thing amused me at the moment. I was too busy thinking about stuff. Stuff that bugged me. Stuff like being in the akatsuki and being in love. Both things had something in common; they were both difficult to handle. Too much hate for biju... Too much love for biju. I could take it. I need to get away from it all.
The sun was rising and I was still walking... I have been walking for a long time, I thought to myself. Then I felt a familar chakra. It was Hachi. He was a biju, therefore he was an enemy for the Akatsuki. I didn't care though. He saved me from certain death. I wanted to talk to him. He looked depressed and seemed like he didn't want to talk to anyone but I didn't care. I was going to talk to him whether he liked it or not.
"Hachimata... hey there. What's going on? You looked troubled." I approched him. He looked up at me. I took a seat right next to him.
"Yuri... you love Shukaku right?" Hachimata asked.
"Yes... yes I do Hachimata... With all my heart." I answered. What a strange question.
"Well, how do you know?" he asked another question.
"Well It's just a felling." I replied and smiled. He let out a sigh and turned away from me. "Wait. You didn't let me finish." I told him. "Well you see, Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way. When someone loves you, the way he or she says your name is different. You know that your name is safe in her or his mouth. When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared he or she won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only does he or she still love you, she loves you even more. You never have to be lonely. There's always somebody to love, even if it's just a tanuki or a kitten. Love is enfinite and you'll just know when your in love." I glared into the sunrise. My eyes orange sparkled. Saying such words made me feel right. I didn't even know I had it in me.
I continued. "Just take you and Maki for instince. I never knew Maki for long but the way you wanted to protect her, make sure she was safe, and put her in great hands... don't you think that's love Hachimata?" He looked at me. I smiled. Again, I continued. "The way you care about her so much... I beleive that's what love is. I'm sure there's no REAL defintion for love. Everyone looks at love in their own way. Caring and protecting Maki that much Hachimata... I beleive that's your definition of love. In that definition of love there's only one word you should know... And that word is Maki..." Hachimata glared at me. I stood up. I hope I was help to him...
"Well I must be going now Hachimata... It saw nice seeing you again, nice to see you okay and healthy that is... I'm sure you'll do the right thing. I have other things to attend to like finding my own way. Finding my mistakes and trying to make them right again... Ja Ne for now." And just like that, I dissapeared.
