Saisuki walked over and behind her, overlooking the village. The lights, if a bit blurred, looked as though they danced in the night. He smiled, and found a spot next to her, noticing that she'd kicked off her shoes. He looked down at his own feet and mused, 'Well, I can't do that. Shame.' He turned to face Enoki and smiled, knowing that she'd heard him, after all, he thought it in her head, not his. The breeze was nice as well, Konoha seemed to have the ideal climate, and he loved it. His eyelids started to do the dance of sleep, momentarily. He had a full day and spent more than half of his waking day running. It was nice to just sit down for a change. He sighed, "Pretty." he said, "The village I mean." Why did he correct himself? He slowly looked over at her, the way the lights hit her shaded her differently than when in day or in a room with the lights on. 'Although this is a sight all of it's own, too.' he admitted to her with a smile. |

His words echoed in Enoki's mind again, this time she didn't flinch. Instead she gave a light chuckle and wiggled her toes. "I love being barefoot after a day of travelling with heels." she sighed, returning his smile. It was nice to return to this place again, even nicer to share it with someone. She was aware that she hardly knew Saisuki, but the fact that she felt comfortable around him was a positive sign. "No matter where I travel, no matter how beautiful the climates and landscapes are, Konoha will always be my home. I love everything about it here. My family has been living in this village since it was first built." She noticed his correction, but did not outwardly say anything until his voice filled her thoughts once more. She turned to face him, blushing before looking away again. She had no words to reply to his sentiment, only a smile that graced her lips. |

Saisuki laughed heartily. This was all so different. Why? Was it the peace and the attempts at it that made it different? Tools of war should not know tranquility, should they? Why hadn't things always been like this? ... In fact, why did Saisuki ever earn names like "The Nation Taker" and "The Butcher of Countries" during the war? Sure he remembered what he did to earn them, but why did he? Peace was the ideal thing, and he strove for it as the Mizukage. Had the war shaped him? Traumatised him? Why was he so childish now? What had changed? Was it killing the Mizukage before him? No, it couldn't be; he did that for peace, right? The more he thought back upon it, the less it all made sense. Why? All the information is there, perfectly. His memory is next to flawless. Then why can't he realize when this change happened? Saisuki finally stopped laughing, though for Enoki it would've only been a few seconds altogether. He looked at her, separating himself from his own mind for a bit. He couldn't help but smile, "When do the fireworks go off?" he asked her. |

Enoki was broken from... whatever strange trance she had been in. The blush faded from her cheeks as she looked back out over the village. "Soon, I think." she spoke, closing her eyes momentarily, feeling the breeze blow past her gently, welcoming it. It had been so long since she'd felt this truly relaxed and peaceful. Suddenly, loud popping noises could be heard, and her eyes quickly reopened, seeing bright showers of colours before them. What incredible timing. The cheers of the villagers below could be heard over the loud noise of the various fireworks that exploded in the night sky, a celebration that their Hokage had returned to them safely. She felt a swell of pride, and while she knew she should have probably been down in the village with her people, she much preferred being up on the Monument with Saisuki. A wide smile appeared on her face, and she turned to him. Did he love fireworks as much as she? Kami, how she wished to know what he was thinking. |

Well, that was perfectly on cue. He turned to look at the lights in the sky, how they popped. This was his first time seeing fireworks actually. He quite liked them, and nodded as if to approve of them. He couldn't help but smile wider. Turning back to Enoki, he held his hand out to her, "Shall I show you something?" |

Enoki watched Saisuki as he seemingly admired the fireworks, and found herself wondering if his own village had ever done something similar for him. What had he been like as a Mizukage? She certainly preferred him to Agnia, who was a spiteful and spoilt bit- Her thoughts were broken as Saisuki spoke to her, offering his hand. She looked at it for a moment and blinked before placing her own pale hand within his grasp. |

Saisuki felt the warmth of Enoki's hand, though her fingers were cool. It was nice, and he caught himself looking at the way they held together. He lightly danced his thumb across the top of her fingers, before looking back up at her. He closed his eyes, and concentrated. First was to visualize himself inside her mind. Originally, this simply happened just because once he was in someone's head, but now that he found the way to keep himself awake he actually had to focus in order to get inside. It wouldn't put him out, but it would essentially put him in two places at once, both stemming from the same mind. Not at all like making a Shadow Clone, where the result has it's own mentality; more like his Fire-Ash Clones, which he remotely commanded, seeing through each one's eyes and dictating each one's actions separately from his one mind. First there was emptiness in the entire world. This was mostly because he had his eyes closed. Saisuki, in the physical world, opened his eyes, and looked into Enoki's, smiling warmly. "Close your eyes and be still." he softly tells her. Saisuki was also present at the same time inside her world. He hadn't opened his eyes yet, though he slowly brought them open, unknowing as to what the inside of her mind as it's own space separate from reality would look like. As he did this, he also smiled just like he was physically doing, and pulled at the foundations of this world (not literally) to pull Enoki into it as well.

Enoki closed her eyes as instructed, and stood perfectly still. She was confused as to what he was doing, yet intrigued once more. Her heart was pounding, her fingers curling around Saisuki's for a firmer grip, yet her hold was still gentle. Just what was about to happen? She finally opened her eyes, slowly, unsure if it was the right time, but it certainly felt so. They widened as she realized their surroundings, they were familiar and yet she had never seen them. The lush trees surrounded them, the waterfall and pool nearby. It was dark and yet cool, a breeze flowing through, with green foliage surrounding them, and thousands of lighted bugs that illuminated the area with their strange tones of glow. The sky above them was deep blue, with millions upon millions of bright shining stars littered across it. The moon was full and larger than normal, also helping to light the area. It reminded her of the special place she and Kakashi had discovered in their youth, just outside the walls of the city. It was similar with the waterfall and pool for swimming in, but nowhere near as beautiful. Tears pricked her eyes as she thought of her cousin, and she made no move to wipe them away. And yet, she could also see that they remained on the top of the Hokage Monument. She looked to Saisuki, her eyes wide. "What's happening?" she asked him. |

Saisuki smiled to her in both the physical realm and her mental realm. Saisuki then, physically, reached out with his free hand and placed them over Enoki's eyes, blocking out the view of the physical world so that she might behold the place of her mind's eye more fully, without distraction. "We're in your head." he told her, smiling at her in her mindscape, "This is your world." She suddenly felt Saisuki's grip tighten, and move her arm across her belly, but she didn't actually move as far as she could see. Then, Saisuki's grip became a bit weaker, and this time moved her whole hand upwards, something she did see. He did both of these things slowly, and she felt the sensation of both of them at the same time. She could feel that same grip now grasp her other wrist and move her arms together as if they were cuffed, but she didn't actually move this time. Saisuki smiled at her, You should feel a difference now. "The sensations of the real world and the sensations of this one." "Right now, I can't stop the fact that you feel them at the same time," he said, "but you should notice a difference between what's happening out there and what's happening in here. Try; tune into that difference, and try to raise your other arm. Don't worry, I won't let go of this one." he explained to her softly. "It'll be alright." she heard him say, though he hadn't moved his lips as far as she perceived. |

They were in her mind? This was certainly going to take some getting used to. Enoki tried her best to concentrate, focusing on her mind. Which was surprisingly more easy for her than she assumed it would be for others, having been lost in her own mind when dealing with her Bijuu. A shock rushed through her body, in both realms. If they were in her mind, there was a good chance the Yonbi would be here too. But she refused to dwell on that. Looking at the Saisuki before her, she slowly and steady raised her other arm, looking at it to make sure she was moving the right one. To her relief, it began to move. Thank Kami she'd made the motion in her mind realm, otherwise she'd have looked like a complete fool in front of him. Looking around now at her surrounding that were no longer weaved in with that of the physical realm, she sighed. "This is my mind? It's beautiful." she breathed, taking it all in.

"It reflects you perfectly, doesn't it?" he said. She felt that grip on her wrists tighten a bit, as if holding her down. A reassurance that he was still there. Saisuki let go of her hand and took a few steps back, though the grip on her arms did not go away. He chuckled, and looked around as well, "Do you think you can try and walk over to me? I imagine this must be simpler for you. Try to move only the legs you can see, and keep the legs that you cannot see perfectly still." |

That was incredibly trippy. That was the only way to describe it. Enoki frowned and tried her best to focus her attention on her mental self, lifting one foot up only to realize she could feel the movement, but not see it. In the mental realm, her feet were still flat on the ground. Her cheeks flushed before she tried again, this time successful as she could see her foot raise, her knee bend as she took one step forward, repeating the process with her other leg, slowly but surely as she made her way over to Saisuki, feeling immensely proud of herself. |

Saisuki smiled as she made her way over to him, and she suddenly felt a warm embrace and her hands free. "It's alright, I got you." she heard him say, though did not see him speak. Enoki did actually make it to Saisuki, and he held her hands, looking into her eyes, "You did it." he told her grinning, "I'm not even holding my hand over your eyes anymore. You have them shut." His mouth shut a little more into a regular smile and he closed his eyes, "This inner beauty... it's yours. And also... my greatest offensive capability is not fire... but the fact that I can pull you into this place..." he told her. Then he grinned at her again, looking at her once more, "And I just ruined it by teaching you how to separate mental from physical." "I trust you." he said softly into her ear; and Enoki heard it twice. |

Enoki returned Saisuki's smile with one of her own, a beaming grin that brightened her features. "This is amazing." she said softly, before taking a quick look around at their surroundings. This, apparently, was what her mind looked like. She couldn't imagine a more beautiful place. She felt completely at peace here, almost like she belonged. This was her personal haven. And she felt comfortable sharing it with Saisuki. He was different from any man she had ever met. He was on a completely different level. As his words echoed in her ear, Enoki closed her eyes momentarily. "I trust you too." she replied, before reopening them, her cheeks tinged with colour again. "Thank you for sharing this with me." Despite the fact that he came from Mist, she did trust him. Completely. A feat within itself. Why? Enoki had no idea. Possibly the fact that he had shared something so secret with her. Why he had done so, she had no idea. She could only hope he had no regrets about it. |

Saisuki smiled, and rose his hand to snap his finger. Suddenly, Enoki's world became dark, and her Physical senses became more pronounced as she was whisked out of her mental world. Saisuki was hugging her, and he drew her out at arms length, "Are you all right?" he asked her with concern in his voice, "D'you feel okay?" He wasn't really asking for any specific reason; but whenever he ended that experience, it also drew him out of her mind as well. He wasn't worried that she might be in pain, she wouldn't: her head would actually be relieved that it's not in two places at once now. He was worried if she had a problem that he ended that experience so suddenly. |
