Padoru Padoru

Natsuru had just about finished sprucing up the penthouse suite for Christmas. Despite having a staff she took it upon herself to do the decorating. It was a taste that she preferred to do herself not only for accuracy-sake, but it was a tradition to do so. Of course back at the Senou Manor she would decorate her own room as doing the entire manor would be ridiculous. The penthouse was something more manageable for one person to take care of. Natsuru wore her casual outfit which was pretty generic. Given the amount of wealth she had under her name she preferred clothing that was cozy and bland rather than being a pretentious snob. She wore a pair of black low-top sneakers with white lacing, skinny black denim pants, a two-tone long sleeve shirt which consisted of a white body and black long sleeves. She wore a heavy-duty black belt around her waist which carried her tanto on her right side, which was securely stored in a black lacquered scabbard. Natsuru's light skin reflected well with the rest of her colors, both what she wore and her natural hair and eye color being a deep purple. It even appears to be navy blue in some lighting situations. Her hair was long and reached all the way down to her lower back. On top of her head she wore a red Santa hat as a relish to the stunning, 5'11 and 155 lb Kunoichi.

The lights and most of the basics were already set up and operational. A Christmas wreath was set up on the main front door as well as a custom-made wreath on Natsuru's own bedroom door, this one of course being black and red appearing more like a Halloween wreath than one for Christmas, though the spirit was right. Natsuru stood in the family room den which was across from the kitchen and bar. She stood before a seven foot evergreen tree, which was mostly bare having lights partially wrapped up its body. But it was at this time her arms dropped almost sore for having them worked so early in the morning ever since she got up. "Whew...I think it's break time..." Stepping away from the tree she approached the bar counter which still had some of the goods she picked up from Ayano's set while the other goods were stored away. An opened boxed of cheese pizza, the chocolate cake, a box of chili cheese fries, and a few bottles of water waited for any potential grabbers.

Natsuru opted to make a quick stop at the refrigerator to grab a bottle of Bepsi before grabbing a place and serving herself a large slice of cheesy pizza. Natsuru would hastily retreat back to the couch setting the goods on the cushion to grab a blanket and covering herself. She dual wielded two remotes, one turning on the television above the gas operated fireplace while the other remove controlled the actual fireplace. She increased the flames and changed the television from some unimportant program to a preferred anime with lots of action. The bluenette would indulge in her bubble of goodies while somewhat staying vigilant of her surroundings. She never bothered to check if any of her teammates got situated in their rooms and were already spending their nights there or not. Shimiko is probably living with Sakata or something...Ryuko I could imagine already being here. Grabbing her Bepsi bottle she would take a swig, and soon have her answer as the sugar and caffeine surged through her body...

...A few days have passed

It was the day after Christmas and the penthouse was rather quiet. Since Natsuru returned to Kumogakure she was rather unfortunate in running into Shimiko or Ryuko. She had expected to see at least one of them during her time back. But unfortunately she wound up spending Christmas alone. These spells of loneliness were something she experienced often during her days in grade school. My 'friends' have better places to be. As always.

Natsuru was wearing a much more comfortable outfit today. In a pair of white nekko slippers, black leggings, and a bright lavender off shoulder top sweater. Her hair was the usual going straight down her back completed with her bangs. It was in the fit of things that the key card access to the entire upper level of the tower was changed to fit verification for only her and her staff. The Christmas decorations were taken down and unopened presents stashed in the cluttered store room. Natsuru was not sad nor angry. She was given the nostalgic feeling of abandonment by her those she thought she was close to.

It was an overcast day outside giving a gray atmosphere. It was pleasant. Natsuru sat behind a desk in the family room with a continental map spread out before her. In her left hand she held a pen as she scribbled on her personal map. It was already dotted with small notes and arrows showing travel path and points of interest. The Land of Water was notably surrounded by small hearts of black and wholesome quotes as if a giddy teenage girl was writing about her crush. What wasn't on the map was the man she was referring to nor Kirigakure's location. That was a secret and something she intended to keep to herself.

What she worked on now was a plan to investigate the Land of Earth. Natsuru already had her trip planned to get to the country. It was a place with plenty of mountains much like Kumogakure which was ideal for scouting. Natsuru reckoned she would find Iwagakure within a week much like Kirigakure. She would finish plotting for now, rolling up the scroll and pushing it aside to make room for her doodle corner. She retrieved glitter, glues, colored markers, and white construction paper. Natsuru would play with her crafts to pass time and take her mind off things. For now she really just wanted to be left alone. For how long depended on what miracles she would encounter in Iwagakure assuming she would make it. She was a loyal woman and did not intend to hook up with any man other than the one she loved.

I wonder what Takeo would be doing if he was here with me...
