Yui and Kanna hang out[Kanna]

Yui had sent an invitation to Kanna and she wanted to thank her for all of her help she had given Yui. She had a place set up for the pair to have a nice quiet dinner and she would then take a walk with her and show her some of her art she had created. Yui was actually a pretty decent artist having painted since a young age and she had really never been able to show anyone except her brother. She hoped she could impress Kanna and show her she was not all about battle but had other sides to her as well, though she did wonder why she cared how Kanna felt about her. A slight blush would cross her face as she shook her head and waited, she would be wearing a black dress, its length down to her knees with an open back and fitting her figure nicely.

"I simply am inviting her as a friend, and show her I have many sides to me besides battle, she has done so much for me it is only right I do this for her."

The table for the pair was lit by candlelight with the food being served being some higher quality steak as well as some red wine to go with it. Still, she felt nervous like her heart was going to leap out of her chest, she was really happy to have met Kanna and really took all the things she said seriously about training her body to become stronger so gates were not so vicious on it.

Yui smiled as she heard a knock, her house was quite nice clearly the house of someone her clan considered a princess. She had shown so much promise and was the pride of the clan so they treated her as such and gave her quite a nice place to live. As she would open the door she would invite Kanna inside a table ahead of the pair with the dinner ready, the wine on the table and the candles lit. She would pull a chair out for Kanna and wait for her to take a seat, she had so much to talk about with Kanna and show her she had more than one side.

"I know this may seem odd but I read this in a book was a good way to show appreciation for someone helping you. I also wanted you to come to show you another one of my talents my artwork, I think you will enjoy it, you see I have been painting for most of my life but have never shown anyone but my brother this artwork."

She would wait for Kanna to take a seat before taking her own seat across the table from her, Yui would begin to cut the meat as a servant would bring the pair some sides potatoes mashed, as well as corn beats, and some rice in case she preferred to not eat meat. Yui was very excited to show her the latest masterpiece she had created, it was in Kanna image after all and she was sure she would appreciate it.

Yui smiled as she had let Kanna inside, she had taken a seat as Yui was also seated and beginning to enjoy the meal, she would pour herself a glass of wine and also offer Kanna some if she wanted. She asked Yui was her being dark and gloomy the past two weeks attractive making her laugh a bit. Yui was not attracted to her physically well she was but that was not the main attraction. She felt Kanna was strong, she may not see it now but to her, Kanna had potential to be a kage someday, in all honestly far more fitting than herself currently.

"The meal is thanks to you I want you to enjoy this meal there are no strings attached and if you do not wish to see my artwork you do not have to, I wanted to give you a gift you really helped me more than you know. The lessons I learned from you were quite valuable and taught me a lot about myself as a person."

She would continue to eat her meal while also slowly sipping the wine, making sure to swish it lightly in her mouth to get the best out of the flavor. It was pretty obvious she had drunk wine before and seemed completely natural about it, the dinner had no hidden meanings but was just the way Yui read in a book to make someone happy and appreciated.

Yui continued to smile as she hoped Kanna would enjoy the meal, she refused the wine, however, making her a bit sad. It seemed to be clear Kanna maybe was not comfortable with all of this lavish style of dinner. She was glad to hear Kanna would check out her art, she wondered if it was good enough but despite her nerves, she was sure Kanna would enjoy it. After eating the meal Yui would let out a sigh as her stomach was now full, she would wait until Kanna was done before standing from the table and motioning for her to follow Yui to her art room. After walking several rooms down they would enter a room full of paintings covered by sheets, Yui would wait for her to step inside before she would begin to unveil the art. Most were paintings of various things in nature a fox catching a dove for food or a fish leaping from a stream but all of them were painted quite well.

"I feel art is an expression of one's soul and I tend to enjoy painting nature so maybe my soul is wild and full of unexpected things I guess. This last painting was one you inspired me to paint after I met you the first time a fire ignited in my heart and inspired me to paint this piece."

Yui would uncover the last remaining one it was a picture of a woman standing in a field of flowers but in the distance a volcano erupting. like a wave of heat had been suddenly released, the woman's hair would be blowing in the wind with her picking a flower and holding it to her nose. The volcano was Yui's heart as for the flower it was a signal she had picked her heart and had Yui attention she was not sure Kanna would understand that but it was fine if she did not.

Yui could tell she at least thought the art was good but when Kanna spoke it hurt Yui heart, it was clear what was wrong now. Kanna felt she did not deserve to be loved or to be praised to live with such guilt she must be living with was sad. It made Yui realize she did not know anything about Kanna but one thing was clear she was a good person and this hatred of herself was not warranted. Yui would simply move in front of Kanna a look of sadness in her eyes, she was trying to bear all the pain for something the only people that said they did not deserve something were those trying to punish themselves and likely it was not even truly their fault.

"Kanna... never say that everyone deserves to feel happiness, no matter what you have done or who you have hurt. Thinking you don't deserve praise or love is wrong, I do not know what happened to you but making yourself suffer won't change anything from the past. You may have lost someone or someone betrayed you, either way, you should not feel that way about everyone give people a chance and life will be a lot more enjoyable."

She could only hope she did not insult Kanna but it made her heart feel heavy, so much burden she must be feeling, clearly, she was trying to not get close or to not enjoy life. This was something she did not deserve Kanna was a wonderful person from what she had seen and taught Yui so much, so seeing her in this way was heartbreaking to her.

She listened to Kanna words and it tore her heart apart, she had certainly been hurt in the past by someone she trusted or she had lost someone she loved. Still to think you can't find happiness and it was just easier to not give anyone a chance to be part of your life was depressing and sad to her. So she would rather be sad then open her heart to anyone else as Yui heard these words she could not help but to react she would move to Kanna and pull her head to her chest to hear her heart beating.

"I understand you have been hurt, and you do not want someone to give and take away your happiness but living like that is like living as the walking dead. You can feel my heartbeat and you can hear it thump, I am alive and I am very sure I would never hurt you. Life sometimes does hurt and love can hurt as well but it only makes the moments of happiness that much better, don't live your life as a walking corpse and give me a chance to show you joy. I... don't mean like a relationship... or anything right now I meant just let me show you how to enjoy life, show you all the wonderful things you are missing and the happiness others can bring if you give them a chance."

She would step back blushing just a bit and hoped she did not make Kanna mad but she could not stand the words she used, she thought so little of herself as to live life sad and lonely. Yes, she would avoid heartache but she would also never get to enjoy life unless someone opened her eyes to show her true happiness, being around someone that could change everything and bring a light to the otherwise dark world.

Kanna had rejected her touch as she listened to her words more, it was clear she did not want to get close because people die. She also did not want to long for someone and felt it distracted her from becoming strong but she had it all wrong, having someone you want to protect made you stronger and able to go to even higher highs. Yes, people could abandon you and hurt you but to reject any thought of feeling connection was not worth it. It would be not worth living and feeling nothing because you are afraid to make contact, because you are scared to lose someone or because you don't want to be hurt by them.

"YOU ARE WRONG KANNA... IDIOT... YOU ARE BEING SUCH AN IDIOT... do you not understand, having someone you love and want to protect doesn't make you weaker, it brings a strength to dig down no matter how hard it is and climb back up. It helps you refuse to lose or refuse to die, you must live to be with who you care about."

Yui was trying to be strong as her eyes wanted to fill with tears, she really did not understand, Yui would not accept this she was going to force her to hug Yui as she appeared in front of her and forcefully tried to wrap her arms, no she would not let her walk away without understanding the feeling of being embraced by someone else.

"No matter what you say and how much you deny it, you want to care for someone and you want to be held. There is nothing wrong with feeling this way, it is what makes us human and not simply monsters, we are not monsters and yes we are shinobi but caring for people certainly doesn't make you weak. You get a bond and strength stronger than anyone else, I will not vanish I will not fade and no matter what you say or do to me I would be here for you wither you wanted it or not. If you want to leave that is fine, but I won't ever give up on you, I know I am right about you and I know how my heart feels."

She would back away and wait to see if she would get mad and storm off, Yui was not one to ever give up though. She knew for sure now it was destiny Kanna had met someone like her, an annoying light that shined into her darkness. Something that was both annoying and a comfort to have around, and something that would always be a rock even when she felt down.

Suddenly Kanna exploded her emotions finally coming to the surface, she finally was letting it all out, and while it hurt Yui hearing her words it was what she needed to do to move on. Of course, anger and those other emotions could make you stronger but they could also twist you into something you don't want to be. She did not, however, agree they were monsters, they were strong to protect the citizens of the village and the lives of their families. She said she would become a monster to destroy a monster, Yui was at a loss for words.

Before she could even respond she flat out said they were not kindred spirits as she said maybe once Yui grew up more she would understand. Yui knew that was not true she would never change and become so cynical, but she was shocked by Kanna and her threads leaving her body, she had no idea what sort of jutsu that was but she still saw Kanna as a lost soul and someone she could save. She needed to calm down and think some and she was sure she got through to her somewhat she was able to finally let everything out. She finally let her emotions release instead of holding it all in and sure the words hurt but it was something Kanna and Yui both needed to hear.

"I understand... I wish you the best Kanna but I won't give up on you... I guess maybe its best if you leave and we both think some about today."

Despite her hurting heart Yui would wear a smile and wave goodbye to Kanna as she left for the exit. She would not give up on her she now understood how to approach her and what she had to do in order to allow Kanna to open up her heart. Yui would lead Kanna out and close the door walking away before she would begin to cry, her heart ached so much but she stayed strong in front of Kanna. She would spend the next several hours crying but also thinking of a plan, she had heard about this beach event and hoped Kanna would show up there so she could try to talk to her more.
