Its been a few days since the incident at the bar/restaurant. You could say Curiosity got the best of him. He heard about this... Dojo he worked... er.. Didnt work. Wait what did he do there again? Takato was walking up the stairs, At least the scenery was nice. And it was quiet too. A quiet place for a quiet person. It worked. Takato stopped for a moment. he was starting to get tired, it was a long walk indeed. But Takato kept going on up the steps.
Finally Takato got up to the top of the steps. It was definably peaceful here. Barely any people, Again, He could see why Sasuke would like it here. Speaking of the devil where is he? He lived here right? So where could he be? Takato looked around, still not seeing any sign of Sasuke. "I wonder where he could be?" He said aloud
[Sasuke]

Unaware that the person he met just a few days ago was in the vicinity, Sasuke continued to train with the other dojo students. He occupied an odd place in this dojo. On one hand he was adopted by the dojo masters for his skill and prowess but on the other hand he also served as a master in his own right for Sasuke was the only ninjutsu master here in this mountain. The way of the ninja was so obscure and well hidden that it was rare for someone like him, a master, to teach it to kung fu students. Of course, people here teach a bunch of other things that were not even remotely related to kung fu, many other styles were taught here...most of them Sasuke was an advanced practitioner of.
Presently, he and a number of other students were practicing grappling. While the sight might look like a random brawl to other people, it was very organized with whoever gets grappled to ground first being the loser and the other the winner. Sasuke had already two three times so he was taken to the side to watch and wait for others to finish. Truth be told, this was the last exercise that day, dojo events take place early in the morning and usually end by noon so student get time to eat lunch then the rest of the day was spent cleaning and maintaining the dojo.
Not willing to watch anymore of the dumb ones, Sasuke stood from his seat and began walking out of the building. He wore a yukata-type garb, not very different from his usual clothes, but it lacked the armor and his weapons. Weapons were forbidden in Tabak and Sasuke's were hidden in his own room. Sliding the door open, Sasuke slipped out and closed the door behind him quietly. Once he looked up, he saw the man from the restaurant the other day. Sometimes Sasuke hated how the dojo was like a tourist attraction of sorts.

Suddenly Takato saw just the person he was looking for. Of course he wasn't going to admit that he was looking for him. But he was going to say hi. What was wrong with that? "Yo, Sasuke! Fancy meeting you here" he said. Takato walked up to him looking around. Looking impressed, He then looked back at Sasuke. Of course he didn't look very happy, If he ever saw Sasuke smile, it probably would be a miracle of some sort. Which Takato was hoping to accomplish. Even a small smirk would satisfy Takato. Why did he want to do such a thing? Nobody deserves to go without a smile.
"Hows it going?"

Somewhat confused, Sasuke asked, "What are you doing here?" He was sure that he didn't invite the guy so, what gives? Takato's greeting echoed at least twice in Sasuke's head and each time he answered the echoes with sarcastic remarks about not being very happy to see him period. Pausing a bit in his mind-rant, Sasuke scowled at the fact that his question didn't sound as threatening has he would have liked, it gave him a feeling that it wouldn't deter Takato.

Now that Sasuke mentioned Takato had to pause for a minute. What was his excuse again? Oh yeah! "Sight seeing" Takato said "And I'm starting to understand why you like it so much here" He continued. He ignored the tone in Sasuke's voice, Boy did this guy like his privacy or what? But Takato's smirk never left his face. And probably would stay there too.
"So Sasuke, where were you headed?" He asked curiously, looking at the very annoyed... Ninja? What ever he was, He was just annoyed ... period. It still baffled him that Sasuke was so... quiet. Maybe this time he'll get to talking more. Or atleast thats what Takato hoped

"Nowhere..." Sasuke answered but in reality he was out to get some water. After his training and the stuffiness of the dojo having so many people naturally drained Sasuke's water reserves. But now his thirst was ebbed by this guy's presence. Sasuke huffed and started walking towards a smaller building that served as the dojo's kitchen of sorts.
As he walked, Sasuke thought of what the dumbass was saying just a few moments ago. Nearly everyone would understand someone like him would like a place like Tabak. It had a lot less nosy people and a lot more people with discipline. Very few people here asked what you're up to or what you're thinking and whenever someone did, they were punished by one of the masters because gossip was not tolerated in this place.

Takato raised an eyebrow, What was his problem. Naturally Takato followed him. Why not, he was already here. Maybe if he followed him long enough, he's see more than what he's already seen. Maybe like a hidden temple? or a forbidden cave that just forbidden because they like to be story tellers? Takato walked in the kitchen like place. It wasn't the most fancy kitchens he's ever seen, but it was simple. And Takato liked simple. Takato then noticed the fact that he was getting water. And he prayed to god that Sasuke wasn't going to splash/spill it all over him. Or maybe that would be revenge for what happened a few days ago.
"So is it always this peaceful here? Gee, Its nice, I just may even move here" Takato said. He enjoyed the thought of living here in the peaceful quiet. But he didn't like so much the idea of getting up in the morning and working. He liked to sleep in. Maybe he would talk to the head master though. In Sougen, theres been too many kids playing cowboys and Indian's as of late and its been disturbing his nap time.

Sasuke took a bamboo cup and scooped a cup of water to drink but when Takato said that he might move there, Sasuke's eyebrow twitched and he nearly crushed the wooden cup. "Move here and you die..." The Absolute dragon grumbled before gulping some water from his cup.

Takato's eyes widened. On second thought he might just not move here. As peaceful as it was here. He didnt think Sasuke for it. Especially the way he just killed that cup. Takato sincerely thought, he would die if he moved her. "On second thought maybe i wont move her. Not enough girls" There were girls. But not any that interested Takato of course or vice versa. The girls here would probably kill him for calling them 'beautiful'.
"Maybe I'll just come visit the mountain during the Summer" Summer was when all those bratty kids came out to play, with no school of course they would be obnoxious.
"Hey Sasuke, Do you like to travel?" He asked him curiously seeing that their conversation was going absolutely no where

"I did some travelling once. It's something I wish to think is behind me." Sasuke answered without really thinking about it. Travelling had its advantages, meeting new people, seeing new places, and having adventures but it was tiring not only physically but also mentally. There were times that he thought that perhaps somewhere to come home to would be nice. And then Sasuke found this place. It wasn't much of a home, per say, but it was a place that he could always go back to.

Takato couldn't tell if he actually enjoyed it or not. He studied his face really hard. "And I'm guessing you didn't like it?" He asked. He really did hate how it was so hard to read Sasuke sometimes. I bet it would be easier to read Sasuke if he were drunk. And like a light bulb going off in his head. He came up with an idea. Sasuke needed to get drunk.
It was sad though, why should the only way for him to show a little more emotion was for him to be drunk? Maybe that's why Sasuke doesn't get drunk? He expected someone like him to even have a little bit of Sake. He looked like the type to even do so. Maybe Sasuke doesn't get drunk because he's too much of a party animal? That HAD to be it? What other reason could it be. It was now Takato's personal mission to get him drunk. Now the question was... how?

Sasuke threw the crushed bamboo into the trash and started walking outside, saying, "I don't have much of an opinion about it." He frowned then continued, "Why do you need to stick your nose into what I think anyway?" Sasuke growled, more to himself than his 'friend'. Why was he answering him in the first place?!
Sasuke ran his hand through his hair and left the building. It truly didn't help that he was bugged by a random lady with a pet dragon just yesterday. He wasn't big on meeting new people and most of the time the people he does meet were annoying as hell. This one wasn't proving to be any different although at the very least, the guy was talking about stuff easy to answer.

"Uh... Ever hear the saying Curiosity killed the cat?" Though in this case, it was more of a literal statement, if this kept going. Though deep down, Takato felt he was getting somewhere. He was getting more of a response than he could ever hope for when he first met him. THERE IS HOPE! Of course, there was still the feeling that if Sasuke had the choice he would rip his guts out right now.
"Besides, I was debating if I should bring you along in a journey to Ianne?" He said. Though Takato would have to bring his own sake there. Ianne didn't sound like much of a place for drinking. All he knew was it was where the school there. And that was enough for Takato to want to get out of there ASAP.

Sasuke blinked and turn to look at him. With a frown, he asked, "And why do you think that you should bring me there?" For goodness sake, why was he still talking to this guy. Sasuke suddenly missed his sword. But then...he hadn't been to Ianne for a while and he hadn't visited Mt. Rei for almost a year.

Takato looked at him. Did he really not get why he wanted him to come with him? "Because I could use the company, Why else?" That and getting him away from here might actually get him calm down a little bit. Maybe get him to stop being so.... grouchy/angry? Maybe it was the path he had to take to make a friend?
Honestly Takato didn't know how to get him to open up. And if he didn't want to go, Takato would have to stick with Plan A. Alcohol....
